I know you have all been under much stress over the last number of months with getting a new home for Steel Melody and getting Ocean Melody ready to go but its so obvious and heartwarming to see you all so relaxed and happy looking. I look forward so much to following your adventure. Much love to you all from South West Scotland. ❤🏴
Melissa has such a beautiful smile, her whole face just lights up. You can truly tell that she is genuinely happy and excited to finally be under way. Congratulations to you all!
It's such a joy to see you so happy and relieved! I wish you all the best for your upcoming adventures! May you always have wind in your sails and a handwidth of water under your keel!
Such a beautiful joy beaming off your faces! Congratulations for completing hundreds of off screen hrs working tirelessly to realize this dream. May your joy be full with many waters bringing you peace and the delight of new horizons. Watching your Dreams all being fulfilled and explorations realized. Happy for all of you! Thanks for taking us all along-it’s been so much fun to see your progress. Happy sailing and may the music begin!
Congrats to all of you. Enjoy🎉 The fruits of your labours, what a Herculean effort you have all made even discounting having two boats and a new baby. Just goes to show what can be done when you are really determined!!!!❤
Thanks for capturing this trip for us. It must be an imposition sometimes to record and narrate rather than just enjoying the moment, and the way Melissa made it look so natural and easy was impressive. I missed the live stream and I'm 10 hrs late watching this, or I would have been asking if you could turn your phone sideways for panorama mode. Apparently though, portrait aspect ratio is preferred by many cellphone viewers, and I really appreciate getting the vision we did. I don't usually comment on peoples' personal appearances, but I have to say that Melissa looked especially radiant and contented on this passage, she lit up the screen. 💡
Hey there Mellisa. I hope you don’t mind me saying, you look so well, happy and fulfilled in this film. You are an amazing lady. You look sooo pretty on the boat commanding your travels there.
Good luck! Be certain to keep up on fixing boat problems as they occur. You don't want those problems build up on you. Congratulations on all the work you have done. Take care of yourselves , Oliver and Jack. Bon voyage! EJDunn, Cape Cod Massachusetts
So sorry I missed this live! Well the big escape has finally started! May I and my family wish you all the very best of luck with good winds and smooth seas. BON VOYAGE!! ANNE & DAVID from Northumberland.
Congrats 👏 family I'm so proud of everyone of yall it's amazing to see how much jack has grown since yall started the channel and ollie all of yall have grown in one way or another. Melissa I'm very proud of everything you have done with losing weight, having a baby 👶, sewing bed covers and everything else you have done you have even welded some so Congrats. Jack besides growing has learned things that he will never learn in a classroom and with two great parents like yall he will continue to learn life skills and book skills for many years 😉 him and ollie also . To the main man in charge lol 😆 you have done so much with two boats 🚢 at one time I would have went crazy 🤪 but now yalls adventures can start hopefully I know there work still to be done but maybe you can slow down some now so Congrats to the whole family 🎉 and thanks for another great video 📹 😀
So happy for you all! It’s great to see your beautiful smiles, erasing the vast majority of the stress that you’ve worked through!! May the winds be kind, and I can’t wait to see where your adventures take you!! All the best from Arizona U.S.A.!
What is so great is how you 2 are such great partners. Sailing in the right directions. Life is hard enough. Very happy for you. Sending you prayers from Pittsburgh,Pa
Yay!! So happy for you guys! Wish I could have caught the live, but couldn’t be happier to watch now! I am working on getting prop speed on our prop in Oregon, USA.
Hooray and Cheers! I wish you all the best - enjoy your travels! Looking forward to what will come! Good to know you're on the way - and all the best! This is kind of what I've been hoping and waiting for for quite a while!
Watching although a little late. From Kinmel Bay. We have a boat in Conwy harbour..great possibility we may see you around. Good luck with your dreams.
Today Tuesday I was in the marina as you were walking to the marina office. Not wishing to be intrusive I just said hello as you passed. It was lovely to see you and make it all real. Also lovely to see your boat. Wishing you all the best in your adventures.
As Jack is almost 13 now, perfect age for him to become lead deckhand & helmsman. I’m sure he would be well up for the task. Love-aboard kids are amazing 👍⛵️ Say a big hi to Jack from Hannah and I
Omg I'm so happy for you. If you're planning to go through Gibraltar straights, another boat has been sunk with an orca attack. Please be careful x if you pass Cornwall let me know, I'll try to wave from the headland x exciting times. Sorry I missed the live feed.
Congratulations guys 🎉 I’m sure it feel so good to finally slip the lines, and start this new chapter in your lives. I’m sure it will all be worth it! Hope you didn’t get too much of the Northern European thunderstorms last week. Be interesting to see how you find the Mantus mk2 anchor. The roll bar on out Mantus 38kg hits our pulpit, so thinking of changing to M2. Unless we go to the 48kg M1
Just caught up with this as Charlotte and I were actually sailing in Croatia for a week. So glad you’re on your way, looking forward to following your adventures! Fair winds and following seas!
I missed you live, sorry, but I really enjoyed the video non the less. Nice sail through the swelles, I've sailed through there many times, l did it once in a 10 ft boat on a low spring tide. Nearly a disaster, I never tried it again. You mentioned the chateau, we've driven passed it many times and we call it the creepy coup, because it looks like a house the Adams family would live in.❤ Cliff.
Hi! Yes we saw you and waved :) Please send any footage to turner.andy@hotmail.com If you can use a link from www.wetransfer.com that would be ideal as you can send large files without it degrading the quality

The teak deck will look so nice when you've the time to sand and oil it. It is a lot of work but on some sunny day in the doldrums the task will present itself as a great opportunity.
Ah cool. Chichester. We’re based in Portsmouth so we will come and say hi. Can’t believe you’re going to La Rochelle, I would love to go there. Can’t wait to keep up with the adventures.
Apologies about the wind noise, it was an unplanned live and I just picked up Andy's phone so didn't have mics rigged up 😁
I like the wind !
No worries I enjoyed the ride. I miss my “SV Breezin’” greatly.
