Transatlantic 2020, Ep. 6: The North Atlantic Roars

- As we depart the Grand Banks of Newfoundland and head out into the wide Atlantic toward Ireland, the eastward marching low pressure systems bear down upon us. The winds remain out of the south and west quadrants, which makes for fast sailing, but those miles are paid for with a modicum of misery.

keepin it real!
Anyone who can deploy a trisail, drop and tame the main and film it all in a gale and big seas, with a New England accent, is my idea of celebrity
Amen to that!
Single-Dad Two-Sons well, this interested you enough to watch and comment. I don’t know why you would have to insult someone’s comment who was impressed by this experience. Also, maybe Kevin uses the CZcams $ to help finance his passage as opposed to just being an attention seeker, as you seem to believe. I know people do it every day. I’m a sailor too. The fete is still quite an accomplishment. I don’t know why you have to rain on Greg Pearcey’s parade. He enjoyed watching. I will note, Kevin does not have a New England accent. At least not the part of New England I’m from...lol.
This man is the real deal.
Single-Dad Two-Sons please explain your judgey judgement
@@masterspacetime2826 What's yer beef, Honey? Does he owe ya money or are ya just Jealous! Take yer bitter cynicism to yer local ANTIFA get together! Yeah, Hit the bricks!
@@masterspacetime2826
I don't believe he pretends to be anything, he is just doing his thing without pretending anything. The sailing is real, he is in europe, that is real. So what if he uses technology, he have never claimed to be a purist sitting in a hollow tree paddling round the world.
@@masterspacetime2826 you have a serious jealousy problem, man. Our condolences if your rubber ducky drowned.
Yes he is no Joke. Any sailor can pick up something from this guy.
Great video Kevin. You captured the feeling very well. I chuckled when you said you would rather keep moving than heave to. I share the same sentiment. I've never felt that the rest achieved from 'parking' offset the mental frustration from lack of progress. You managed it well, as usual.
Love your videos too Patrick. You and Kevin help keep my dreams alive. Thank you both!
Just an hour behind Patrick,I must be on course !with my you tube sailing .!
Different times only a few years ago severe weather was not avoidable.when the weather is in charge you heave to
It’s a lot easier to watch this knowing you made it across!
And showered and shaved
Agree but I still had my stomach in my mouth.
There is EVERY other sailing channel on CZcams.....then there is Kevin........the Obi Wan Kenobi of sailing.........wow............this guy is unreal............another top shelf sailing video..............thank you for posting........you’re in a league of your own and EVERYONE knows it 👍🏻
Thanks for that! Glad to have you onboard.
Man oh man what a ride! Kevin, you are proof real sailors still exist. Safe travels and fair winds.
Wish these were 5 hours long! Good stuff.
That would be a lot of video editing ... good to have you onboard.
@@howtosailoceans1423 I get the editing it would be something to do it for 5 hours of viewing and appreciate the huge amount you do for very little contribution from us viewers. But know we do enjoy every minute you do put out there.
But I'm with Kevin even raw footage would be cool.
@@howtosailoceans1423 Do you know whats an ASMR? you can do that!!!
that requires no editing.
The Quartermaster•
Kevin, looking back to that Atlantic crossing I’d say you took a real beating over that last past week! The Old Girl really can hold her own in those conditions. Single handing week after week brings out the best and the worst in sailors. Without question it brought out the best in you!
Congratulations!
Thanks for the great footage and the sail change blow by blow. Appreciate the narration style.
First rate seamanship. Your solo experience shows👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic Footage! Kevin at his best...scandilised main, trisail set, bucket in the cockpit for all those too shy to ask, and blackfish sporting along with the Master Mariner....
Please Sir...can we have more?
It was fun, glad to be in a harbor now, though ...
@@howtosailoceans1423 OH! Believe me I get that...it takes me longer and longer to recover as I age...Kevin that was an epic transit in everyone's book. I remember your comment when we joked about " What would Comanche do" when faced with a dead calm in the Atlantic....you said they would call for the container ship to come a pick them up! Still laughing about that brilliant statement for that is the current state of things in our sport with a rare exception or to.
Scandal follows him everywhere.
Everyone dreams of sailing around the world, until we see footage like that! Great filming. Good to know you are safe.
There are a lot of videos of people who show their ocean experience. But as a skipper myself I can say that this is exceptional good learning material! Not fancy material. Just the real sailing life. Beautiful! Thanks a lot. Gonna spread these video's 😊

Thanks so much! Fair winds, skipper.
Love the tools sliding back n forth. My swear jar would be so full.
11:58 That bell gives me the goosebumps.
Sounds like it's summoning 'all hands on deck' but there's only one; Captain Boothby.
Thomas Gilmer would have been proud of his boat and of you Sir.
For some unknown reason, prob being the fact I know Kevins safe, the bell is comforting. It's like the boat is saying "I got this shit. This is no problem"
Ha! I KNEW sailing couldn't be all bikinis and sandy beaches. Great video.
I do t want to imagine Kevin in a bikini
I admire the fact you are no fair-weather, weekend sailor. When I would fly my Cessna on weekend in poor weather, guys use to say, You are not going up are you?" I would say sure, less traffic to run into. And with that practice you quickly learn what you and your vessel are capable of. Nothing teaches like experience. Great video, keep them coming! Stay safe.
I love the sea :) great videos @4:05 nice catch
What a ride! You probably felt 100% alive in those rough seas.
I had a Cherubini 37 Cutter and a dream. Now you are now taking me along ! Thank you for taking the time to create this record of your adventure. Mark
Good to have you onboard, Mark.
You're a real inspiration, Kevin. Restoring my boat on a budget while studying finance. Keep the videos coming.
Fair winds and following seas!
Everyone says how hard it is to capture the real waves on camera I think you just had the best shot I have ever seen without being there
Absolutely! Best video of storms that I've seen on CZcams. He's either a great actor, or the storms don't bother him that much. They would scare the crap out of me - literally snf figuratively,
This man inspires me. And to think he does it all in front of a green screen in his livingroom.
Yep. Just reaffirms why I am a creek crawler. Give me an interesting estuary any day, where I can run for shelter. But another great video. Keep it up. 👍
Wow you really captured the storm exciting viewing hope it didn’t beat you up to bad👍👍
Veel plezier en avontuur ,zo moet het.
Seeing the North Atlantic with trysail reminded me of our entire sail near Ireland on our way to Portugal. The closer we got to Ireland, the worse the weather got!
Cool voyage!
C'mon now, be honest...you enjoyed it as much as those pilot whales did! Seriously though, I'm well impressed. If you ever come to the east coast of Newfoundland, the pints are on me.
Bucket'n chuck it!!!!! Lolz!!!!!!
Always calm and collective Kevin no matter what the situation. Always enjoy the videos you post because i always learn something. Cheers
Loved the breaking right at the end ! Cheers
Some really amazing footage thanks
It really was super good
Thank you, Kevin. It’s the first time I’ve heard you ships bell! It looked just how I imagined the Atlantic would look during rough conditions. You do well to stay in top of things in those wet conditions. You are to be admired!
Always looking forward to your videos, some of the best work I have seen. Sure beats cable.
Great footage great content thanks
That lean at the end with the boat having water across the walk way WOW. That had to be some fun!
Great work on all fronts (pun intended), Sir! Class act.
The wind vane is your copilot. To sail solo it really is mandatory gear. Simple and effective.... outstanding. Be careful out there.... stuff happens.
The North Sea can be a dangerous place. I recently discovered my great grandfather was a lighthouse keeper in Norway on the North Sea. I do not know the circumstances but he lost his life drowning. This left my grandfather a orphan. He was on his own by the age of 16 and became a merchant seaman.
Keeping it real captain that what makes all your videos great, plus your mental state is a big plus for you, your just stable , calm , never freaking out , you don't sweat the small stuff.
Good sailing captain
You leaning over the port rail to wrestle that main down, all without wearing a harness, made me nervous. I imagined Ruth Avery sailing on with the only evidence being on the GoPro.
Indeed, that is always possible.
How to Sail Oceans what’s your boat don’t recognize her? Mike Potts S/V Quannah Rose
I fail to see the problem with a harness is it not MGTOW? Did you ever consider you might leave a sailing wreck waiting for some other poor sap or ship to come upon...
much better than Soldini or others big. this Man is really couragius! in an old boat across Atlantic! Autentic Sailor!
Really enjoyed seeing the heavy weather conditions on video. Folks can't appreciate what it takes to capture that while sailing unless you have been there and delt with those challanges yourself.
Thanks again. Fair winds & following seas ~ S/V Cork
Kevin,
It is great to know you are on the other side safe and sound in Harbor. What a wild ride , even on camera they appeared to be Large waves and swell.. I am left wondering how bit it was .. For me I am just getting back in off the Texas coast and what hit by a micro bust and suffered my first ever Knock Down. Sometimes you just never can tell just what one of those fifty thousand foot thunderstorms are going to do.. Fair Winds and Safe Sea's .

Nice video and showing it how it is. Glad to see my boat isnt the only boat thats stops moving without a head sail lol
Wow, fantastic footage! Take care & always look forward to your next video.
Like always you keep it real. That is why most of us watch. To LEARN. You and Patrick great stuff.
Great video - wonderful wildlife and sea. Brings a whole new meaning to ‘ring the bell’ !!
This was an exceptional video showing EXACTLY what life is like on the North Atlantic. Thanks!!
Congrats Kevin,very nice footages!
Thank God the waves are not short stacked Kevin. Have never sailed a gaffed Gilmer, but many miles in a sister S C 31 cutter. Glad your safe and congratulations on your crossing. Enjoy your videos and your attention to detail. I like to refer to the bucket as the short handed bucket SHB.
As always, thoroughly enjoying your episodes!
Oh the ocean waves do roll
And the stormy winds do blow
And we jolly sailors are skipping at the top.....
Vicarious sailing at its very best, thanks Kevin, fixing anything in a swell can only be described as 2nd degree fun :0 Loved it.
wow great video! your calm under pressure is appreciated! managing your boat so well is inspiring.
Boating around your neighborhood might be fun, but out there it looks like a fight for your life! Stay safe 💚⛵💨
Go Kevin! You are doing great.
Great video!
This is the real deal. Many thanks! Excellent video and commentary. You and your boat work well together.
I love your works man
awsome saling there capt. truly magnificent, stay safe and good speed.
While I am watching your vids with a cup of hot coffee in my hands and sitting in my chair, I really like as you say: Take care everyone! Surrounded by house tall waves and bone ripping cold winds... I do and nothing else I could say to you: take care, man!
Amazing footage, as usual. Really good video. Thanks!
Great sailing, really cool!!!
Warning: Take your seasick pills before watching this video!😁 Quote from the "shrunken skull" on the "night-bus" from Harry Potter: "It's going to be a bumpy ride!" 😁 Another awesome video, Kevin. Some of those scenes look like they may have inspired you to get a bit of religion! 😁 Thanks so much for sharing.
A little before your time perhaps, but I think that quote was first made famous
by Bette Davis in the 1940's.
Wow. You got guts.
Cool adventure... A little too scary for my liking... Safe travels.
You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!
That certainly looked exciting.
Glad you are making this crossing so I don't have too. :) Liked that "bell ringer" wave that came on board.
Wow... what a ride! Admiration to you Sir!
Great stuff sir, and what a beautiful boat, she rides those seas with the grace of a ballerina, but please clip on to a life line in them conditions
Wooo them some big ones your surfing in the end.
The monochrome gray of the sea and sky next to the red varnished wood looks amazing. Miserable conditions...but loving it!
Excellent camera and seamanship,wow ,10 thumbs up
Another great video. Really look forward to the next one. You take care. Jim
Geeat ride mate 👍👏⚓️
Nice ! Good looking boat, also.
Well done Sir
Kevin, very good video. You make everything simple, a genius. Thanks for all this material. Sdos from Montevideo-Uruguay
nice video, enjoyed it! Cheers
Must be a bit spooky when you're asleep and the bell tolls 😱
So many cables. Year 2014 wouldn't u think they would come up with an easer design
Really good video. Ruth Avery is in her element. Great to see the trysail being set and sailing under heavy weather jib alone. I can see you trying to get to the South. Good sailing. David
That last segment had a pretty good wave hit you, but no screams of panic. mark of a true blue water sailor. I probably would have let out a "whoa" or "holy sh*t" waiting on next video already. Also watch out for cleat or winch with those bare feet!
Kevin, a great huge from Portugal. just fill the dream.
Kevin- you are one of the only people I know of besides myself who can throw the bowline flip @2:03. Well done sir.
It's a very select group ...
Great video. I know those waves are a lot bigger than they look in the video. Changing those same Las in that condition is tough.
Damn fine sailing channel.
Impressed ....well done sir ..!
The more and more I see various sail rigs in action...The more and more I want a Junk Rigged boat.
My thoughts, especially a gaff rig
Nice one mate!!!
Regards from Puerto Williams, Cabo de hornos Chile. I think that is the southern most hello you will ever have for the moment. Stay Safe.
Yes, indeed, Cape Horn is further south than I ever intend to sail ... stay safe down there!
Excellent sailing and sailing footage. Thanks
Kevin your a beast. Love the new trisail!
No way I could do what you do. But I sure enjoy watching! Thank you!
The beauty of smart tv is I can nip the add immediately and get straight on to the subject.
Hmm... I may be more of a Bay sailor than I realize! Not sure I would want to be on that ride ?
Fairly storming along, glad it wasn't me out there in 21 footer 😯
now that's what I call seamanship great job
You're the man, Kevin. I have bad dreams about the bashing all of the fittings and moving parts take during that kind of weather.
Crazy waves.
Epic! Raw. Gripping Last of the Nantucket Whalers. Thar she blows.
Wrestling the main, boom n gaff in a near gale. Something else.
If it was live, not clipped on, boom n' gaff pressed on the leewrd rigging could have been the last episode. Sure the old Whalers didn't clip on either.
Still in Kinsale Kevin?
Hi Joe. Funny, I have a ton of relatives named CAVANAH.
They arrived in North Carolina in the early 1800's and most landed in and north of Hopkinsville, Ky. Deep in the country to try their luck at farming just about everything you could farm.
And indeed they did. They settled a few miles from where those Martians landed 50 years ago. Kelly, Ky. ;)
Tobacco was king at that time, the 20's, 30's, etc.
Nice seeing another Irish name, even if it's one letter off. ;)
Oops, make that 2 letters off. Lol
Yes, still here in Kinsale.
@@buddy8068 there's another
Awesome
Man if you had a 360 camera in the back of the boat and just let it roll, I would watch for hours just looking around... Well well, it is what it is!
