- After our passage from Bermuda, s/v Cloudy Bay (Hallberg-Rassy 54) returns to Antigua where we left off in May. While Cloudy Bay was docked in Jolly Harbour we visited the Jacquie O’s and Rum Bus beach venues, Falmouth Harbour, and English Harbour where the Charter Yachts Show was in full swing. We also spent a day visiting the main town of St.John’s.
Cloudy Bay was hauled out for 8 days (which will be a separate video), and after getting back in the water we got into the cruising mode and sailed north along the bays on the west coast, had a day anchored off Long Island (Jumby Bay), and the in Dickenson Bay for Christmas Day. 6-10 & 23-27 Dec 2018
We have previously sailed to Antigua & Barbuda in May 2018, please see separate videos:

Sorry everybody for the slight disruption on posting this video. We put it up yesterday but it only posted at 360p so we pulled it and reposted. It is now available at full 4k resolution .... if you have good enough internet connection. Enjoy.
Happy New Year!
Oana and Glen
Very cool video, in a resolution it deserves... Thx for the extra effort... And happy new year.
Happy new year for you too! :D
Can come help clean our bottom.

Very nice. One of the best sailing videos I've seen...
Wow, thank you!
SCB is becoming one of my main sailing channels. Great long episodes. Lots of sailing. Great boat.

Roger,
glad you like the videos. We love making them for people like you who really love sailing.
Great Video
Very much enjoyed with much appreciation for sharing. Hope you are both doing well as July 14th 2020.. ! Still getting caught up on all my thumbs up. Sorry it took so long.!
Looks like you are binge viewing :) Enjoy!
New subscriber have to tell you your first video's needed a lot of help you've came a long way since a year. If anyone is into actual sailing I think you are the best sailing channel out there. Video's and sound is exceptional angle's you film going through the water is fantastic keep up the great video's thanks.
Thanks for the great comment. Yes, we have learned alot about shooting and editing in the last 12 months. Maybe we should pull some of those earlier ones. They dont get many hits anyway. We will continue to improve .... especially now that Oana is in charge!
Another great video guys. I love the fact you actually get out and explore the islands, bays and dive sites from your cruising home. I don't know how life get better. Safe travels.
Thanks .... yes its a pretty good adventure if you can stand the down sides.
Thank you for this video. Did comp crew in Jun-18 and Day Skipper in Apr-19... both in Antigua out of Jolly Harbour. Considering going back there to sail at Christmas so a wonderful video to watch, thank you
Really love these colonial style, colourful small houses and bars. Looks like heaven. Wish I can sail this area one day. Cheers guys nice video
That was a great editing decision to save the boat yard footage for another time so that we in the ether-sphere could just kick back, relax, be at peace with the universe, cocktails in hand............uninterrupted. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Great comment! Love your You Tube photo!
Nice to see an island that is not over run by tourists and cruise ships.
Paul, to be honest very few of the islands are overrun with tourists. But of all of them, Antigua probably has the most. But most remain in their all inclusive hotels. And the others arrive by cruise liner by the thousand, but then leave after just a few hours. So when driving around you are correct, you really dont see many tourists
Best intro I have seen in awhile ! Good job
Glad you enjoyed it Chuck
Not sure if I am not too late but: Happy New Year to you Glen and Oana!! Wishing you a lot of blue water, great sails and less private beaches 😂👍👍 After the holidays with non sailing family it is great to catch up with you again on your sail around Antigua .... nice contrast to the gloomy weather here, thanks! 😏 😀🙏
Glad we are cheering up your winter there!
So peaceful and relaxing. Thanks for sharing. Cheers for a great 2019 from Ron and Susie in Kansas City
Glad you enjoyed it guys. We love sharing with people like yourselves. Happy New Year to you both
The yacht with the helicopter I believe is a support boat for the main yacht. They usually are ahead of the main yacht where they secure an anchor, deploy the toys etc prior to owners arrival. Luxury at its finest
Yes we heard that later. Wow, eh? Maybe we should get us one of those! :)
Very beautiful 😍👍
Happy New Year. This cruising content is nice but we all know the point of all the cruising/sailing is to wear things out so you can do maintenance. Looking forward to the Antigua hull work video. I think Glen enjoys boat work as much as sailing :-)
Hmmm I think you are all getting to know me too well!
The First Mate is delightful and I love listening to her speak. I am guessing she is from Norway. This was a very enjoyable episode to watch.
The First Mate (and Captain!) is very appreciative of this comment. Oana was a little "aware" of her own voice on the camera to start with (non of us like the sound of our own voice, right?) so a comment like this goes along way. Thanks. Oana is Romanian and Bucharest is now home for us.
I second that 😊
@@SailCloudyBay Think her voice and narration is very commanding and clear and strong. Does a great job of narrating some of the passage making details , speed, instruments etc. while you are busy riding the bow anchor and getting some of those great shots of this awesome HR54 pounding smoothly and quickly through the seas..that sail to Antigua on previous episode was some of the best!
Michael Douglas thanks I agree with you. And Oana is getting better and better at it. It’s hard for me to compete these days!
Hahaha! I knew it! I knew that Oana is Romanian! You know how? I got that very same accent! And..... I was born in Bucharest too in Berceni pe bulevardul Metalurgiei. Dumnezeu sa va binecuvinteze si sa va ocroteasca wherever you go! Salutari!!!
Quite nice sailing and guiding. Happy New year to you and your boat.🎆🌟
Hallberg rassy are my favourite make of boat would love to own one 😄
Fantastic vid ya'll.
Thanks :)
Too bad you didn't run into Delos, her crew and family. I was straining my eyes looking for her in the anchorages. Lovely sailing in and around Antigua. Beautiful job filming and narrating too.
We looked for Delos on Falmouth and English Harbours where they were supposed to be - but couldn’t see them.
Happy New Year to you two. I hope you had a great NYE.
Yes thanks Brad. We had a fun time at a beach bar called Salt Plage on St.Kitts. A couple of videos time!
Happy New Year to both of you🎆🎇
Best quote of 2018 goes to...Glen on Cloudy Bay..."Well, screw you Jumby Bay. I'm gonna take my best shirt off and I'm gonna put my old painting shorts on, remove my underpants and...come back tonight." I hope I got that right. Congrats on winning best quote.
Hmmm, did I say that? :)
More girl ! ... Let's see the face that goes with the sweet voice.. 🤗
Tell her to gimme the camera and I'll fix that for you!
There are plenty of shots of Oana in our other videos. Just recently Oana has been doing most of the filming. We'll ahve to try to get that balanced.
Really miss seeing new vids from you two on YT, will you ever post New videos again?
Dunno.
@@SailCloudyBay I'll keep hoping for more, because your videos have brought me much joy. And I mean everything about them, including the both of you, not just the beautiful destinations and fantastic sailing. I am sure it takes considerable effort and time, and I cannot thank you two enough for creating and posting the videos you have on YT today. I have watched nearly all of them more than once, and that cannot be said for any other YT creator (or creators). Thanks for the reply!
Happy New Year)
Yup. High resolution now. Cheers CB
Would love to see you catch a fish now and then, when sailing in the open ocean.
We have filmed catching fish in previous videos. But its not to everyones taste to see. In these leeward islands we have to be careful with reef fish from the top of the food chain. Many are toxic. Also, the Sargasso weed runs down the line and fowls the lure about every 5 minutes! But now that we are inter-island sailing again and have the fridges working correctly we will be starting to get that hook in again. There is nothing quite like a good Mahi Mahi on the BBQ!
This video is so clear! May I ask the drone used?
thanks Andria. The Drone is a DJI Mavic Pro
@@SailCloudyBay Thank you! looking forward to more videos!
Wow, nice wiring diagram.
Thanks!
saw you on pigeon beach:)
Very enjoyable video, just curious as to why you fly the Blue Ensign of Gibraltar ???
My understanding, from the gib authorities is that this is the official Gib ensign.
Hello,
I'm really enjoying your videos of your travels.
Could you please tell me the make and model of drone you use to take your aerial footage please, so I can research the model in view to purchasing my own.
Many thanks and safe travel to you both.
Dave.
David, our drone is a DJI Mavik Pro
Nice videos but you got to cut that wind
Joel Delamirande we’ve got that sorted in the more recent ones.
Empty , where is everyone ? Did you try the great Italian restaurant . It’s really supposed to be good
It was indeed pretty quiet. We expected this to be the busy time, but no. Yes, the Italian in Jolly Harbour was indeed very good. Tried it only once though.
What kind of drone are you using
Its a DJI Mavic Pro. An absolutely brilliant piece of engineering.
Quit funny with your car hire experience 3 flat tyres now, you could try sailing much easer than changing tyre with out a jack . Good video , happy times for 2019.
Ha ha .... good suggestion. Its a sign that we should stick to non-land travel :)
Hi, what video cameras are you using? Thanks.
We are using a GoPro6 with lots of stick-on fluffies around the microphones to stop wind noise. Occasionally we put it on gimbal, but the software stabilization within the camera itself is pretty good in the GP6.
Are you working on the teak tow-rail.? Front starboard side looks different..
Following an event where another yachts dragged its anchor and collided with us in New England, we had to strip that bow section of the teak gunwale to repair it. Unfortunately the product we used to "varnish" the gunwales is not easy to repair (Ceolan) so in Antigua we stripped the entire gunwale. Then we had a choice to revarnish or leave natural teak as it had been when we purchased the boat. The Antigua weather (often raining) meant that realisitically it was going to take a long time to get the necessary 8-10 coats of varnish on. And, in this climate of intense UV, any varnish on the boat would need non stop attention, likely needing re-coating 2-3 times a year to keep it looking Bristol. So right now it is natural teak and gradually going to that silver colour. Soon it will all be the same colour all over. Each day we look at it, we miss that varnished look. But we have to be practical, otherwise we will be doing more maintenance than cruising.
@@SailCloudyBay Thank you. Though it would have been some sort of slight damage as it's odd that hr piece looked different. Thank you and great editing. BTW Antigua looks amazing.!!!!
You should be in the video also.
I agree, we need to get Oana in the video more! Tell her to give me the camera occasionally!
What is going on with you guys and flat tires?!
clearly we are meant for a marine life without tires!
