OH! If you're seeing this message- do us a favor and share this series with someone. We'd love to get some extra visibility to our adventure. The more amazing people joining in, the better for us all!
Just so you know, I don't mind poor editing. I'm sure I could do with NO editing. As long as we're able to see the world with y'all, and cross the ocean blue. Don't spend too much time on editing. It's excellent just in its pure, raw form. Thank you!!
You guys are putting up videos faster than I can watch them. Love it.
VLOG game is strong rn. A third is helping a ton 💪
Yes love it!!!! Good job guys!!!!
falling behind big time here! 😂
💜💜💜
It is stupid how excited I get when I see a new post from you guys! I just get giddy! Im loving the daily videos! I'm a single father to a 10 year old boy, you guys give me a glimpse at what I want to experience, hopefully with my son! Thank you for bringing us along!
Hi Guys!!! Brett, Boom Vang replacement .... have a look at the Seldon Strut, its nitrogen to lift your boom, but the cool thing is it's designed to have rope blocks fitted (6 to 1 works great). I think the #2 size would fit straight on then run the sheet back to your cockpit top. Just the down-stop to work out. I think about an hour to fit for you. They work great and the nitrogen strut lasts at least 5 years, mine about 8 years, been fitted for 13 years now. OH Brett, your boom inner fitting needs to be repaired very soon. oversize the rivets and use Duralac. Cheers.
Good recommendation.
I’ve been replacing older Z-Spars gear with Selden recently, it’s not cheap but nothing is. It’s all been excellent quality gear and the tech backup and advice has been spot-on.
Cheers, R. 😎👍🍻
I can’t tell you how much I’ve been looking forward to these videos! Inspiring me to learn to sail this summer! I love you guys’ outlook on life and the world. Let’s do this!
We are watching these every day! Appreciate the work going into taping and editing.
That Princess Pirate has such a beautiful voice
I loved Brett’s expression when he looked at the gooseneck where boom connects and noticed the asymmetrical gap. And realized, yeah that’s a problem but there is sweet nothing I can do about it here, and quickly changed the subject.
Feels like a vacation and we are right there with you... 😎☀
Really enjoying your groovy Day In The Life sailing adventure episodes. The three of you ooze with cuteness.
Great job guys, very much enjoying the Atlantic crossing with you. Next best thing to being there with you.
Having a 3rd set of hands to help with videography is great! Jade and Brett are the "stars" of this channel. It's great to see the dynamic between the two of them uninterrupted by one of them holding the camera.
Love the last shot with the full moon. I learned in welding school that heat or constant friction kills molecules and that softens metals causing them to break. Example, start bending a piece of metal, the more you bend it, the hotter it becomes at the bending point, destroying the molecules, the easier it becomes to bend until it finally breaks. These ocean crossing videos are addictive.😂. Got to tune in to see what’s happening next on the big adventure. 👍. Stay safe. 🙏😎✌️
I love y’all and y’all’s content so much and I hope you continue doing great things
I absolutely LOVE these videos , I know they're a ton of work with all of the editing and all, but I look so forward to watching every time you post ! The 3 of you together is a PERFECT mix! I can only imagine the weight removed from your shoulders when you knew there would be another, experienced sailor joining you on this voyage. Hope she sticks around !
Love watching EyeAnna cook. Can she also make Peye. Her laugh is priceless.
World class filmmakers IMO. Thanks again for sharing your journey in such a beautiful, interesting, and artful way.
Watching you ladies in a never-ending fashion show is wonderful. So glad to be sharing your trip and have been a fan almost from the beginning of your journeys.
LASIK is so much worth it. I had it done 20 years ago and never regretted it. I had no issues and never had to go back for any adjustments.
Super Amazeballs that you guys are posting these videos during your crossing. Huge hugs and thank you.
Throne of Glass! I love that series! You guys rock!
Great job with that repair and yes traffic can come up suddenly so having someone on watch is important. Looking forward to seeing you make port.
I get just as excited as Penny when I see dolphins too. ❤🐬🐬
Great way to get everyone more up to date. 12 hour turn around… PERFECT !
I can’t add anything more than what others have said. These videos make my incredible life even incredibler (yes, I have decided that’s a word.)
Please, please, please Aiyana… stick around. The three of you together is like pancakes, butter, and maple syrup. It just wouldn’t be right without all three. ❤❤❤
Things are farther away than they seem out on the water. I've never been on the Ocean, but the illusion is still the same on the Great Lakes where I travel. I love your show, the girls and the dogs.
Hello from Lachine Michigan 12 miles west of Lake Huron great lake beautiful in land sea northern Michigan love your videos stephenwolf
My Lasik surgery was totally worth it! I had it done in 2007, and it is still working great. I do need cheaters now, but my far distance vision was the problem, and that's fine still. As you age, the near vision tends to go. Well, maybe not for sailors! Safe travels!
I had lasik in 2002, and zero regrets after wearing heavy glasses for 35 years. I *do* miss my macro vision… I could look at tiny things just off the end of my nose, and now I need to use reading glasses for books, which is opposite of my previous life. But not needing them to drive, and being able to actually see makes up for it. :)
I needed more content after watching these everyday so I finally went back and watched everything from the first video. Wow what a journey! Let's is such a great outlook on life. Thank you for the hours of content and I look forward to hours more to come!
I have been watching your videos and love your adventure. I heard you ask about Lasik. I had it done almost 30 years ago. BEST thing I ever did. I was basically blind. Could not see the clock without glasses when I woke up. I think my vision was 20/400. Had a bad stigmatism. I was told that when I got older, I would need reading glasses. All was true. I had very thick glasses. I am now 65, and I finally needed glasses. I wish I had done it much earlier. I was heavy into sports and glasses suck, rain, sweat, etc. GET IT DONE, you will be forever glad you did. Keep up your great channel. BTW, I have not seen you guys so happy as now, with your new crew member. Love it, you guys get along so well.
Potatoes and Egg's..
Grate the potatoes in to a bowl, Pour out excess fluid Add 2 - 3 Egg's salt n Pepper mix and scoop out a table spoon flatten in a pan 🍳 and shallow fry them in Oil.
Hash Brown's but My Nan used to call them Mock Fish..
Loving the journey love from The Land Down Under 😘 😘 😘 😘
Another banging episode watched at work 0700 this morning the girls smiles brought the sun out to play and cheered me up, good job on repairs Brett. So good watching this passage really is super content. Keep it up guys 👌☀️......🔥
Anna is the sweetest person in the world 🥰 I really have a crush on her 😊
I had Lasix surgery about 10 years ago in Reading, England. It was one of the best things I’ve ever done (apart from buying my Oceanis 50 back in 2008!). I was about -7 with astigmatism and now I see perfectly (apart from my reading glasses!)
Since you haven’t talked about your auto pilot I assume it is going well!? Love watching you 3 everyday! So much fun! Thank you!
This is literally the only CZcams channel I have notifications on for because i get so excited about new videos
Thx for the tip on speeding up an audiobook! Never thought of that! One of my complaints about audiobooks is I can read faster than be read to… so I sped it up and it’s now way better!
I had LASIK and it's AWESOME!!!
That sigh after looking at the boom ...sounds like a future repair.
Wow! Two days in 1 video! Awesome! Also love watching your progress and daily journal entries on the tracker.
Thank you! 🐬🧜♀️🧜📖🧜♂️🌊
Lasik surgery DEFINITELY worth it for me. I wore contacts/glasses for 45 years before getting Lasik. It's amazing to be able to see when I wake up and to be able to rub my eyes without worrying about my contacts. I don't have to worry about the wind while we are underway or about my contacts if I get splashed. I waited so long because I was afraid of surgery on my eyes. I had my Lasik done about a year before we bought our boat and moved aboard.
A perfect pancake recipe from an old friend I had when I was young's Portuguese grandma. Two eggs, 1 cup flower, 1 cup milk and pinch of salt.
Rubbing and chafing and salt water, oh my! 15.40 Holy moly, how'd you let that vang take this passage. This format is wild. You're setting a new bar!
Looks like another beautiful day.
Hi Guys, loving your vlogs. Reminds my of my crossing in 2013.
Get Lasic surgery, it’s the nuts. As an international marksman who’s sight was failing it was a game changer. I had my weak eye done first, the outcome was incredible and instant. I was able to see better than I had ever done in that eye. This was in 2006.
The following year I had the other eye done and since I was a pistol shooter, I had my left eye focussed at about 1m. It made such a difference to my shooting. However it was all in vein as the government banned all pistol ownership in the UK.
The eye clinic I used was the only medical establishment I have ever been in where every patient comes out of the surgery smiling 😁
Get it done👍
You guys are great but the pups are the stars of the show.
Great video Brett! You all make it seem so serene and peaceful yet you show too...oh crap... gotta fix this too. So glad it's all working out great. Be safe and I'll see your next video. Love n hugs to you all!! Good winds💨
Myk 🤗 🤗 🤗 💜 💙 🧡 ⛵️ ⚓️
Just absolutely beautiful! A real highlight to watch each time!
Epic cant believe your able to get videos out almost real time !! Sailing channel has crazy love you guys , see ya tomorrow 😅
Your videos are awesome. I love that they mostly all start with a calm Good Morning.
Guys. That was not almost being run over.
I grew up sailing boats from 12 to 37 feet in the Saint Lawrence Seaway and the Detroit River, Lake Erie.
Close is 50 feet from an Ocean freighter and your boat between solid stone Channel dikes.
You develop nerves of steel and a steady hand on the helm.
A Dutch Captain of a Finnish oil tanker once literally tipped his hat when he learned where I sailed. Those Captains fear those waters.😂😂
The only reason we weren't 100% run over is because we had already altered course to get out of their way 😂
@@ExpeditionEvans I am REALLY enjoying these crossing episodes.
You 3 make a great team.
You Brett are every bit an excellent seaman as I am certain you are a pilot.
Keep on keeping on.
🌹
LOVE your daily videos. I sail so I understand the wear and tear on sailboat components.
And that's what I was telling you about complacency. You can be doing everything right. But it does not mean other people are doing it right. He was probably texting and steering at the same time.
Same boat as yours. We did broke our down haul like yours. We cut the bottom part to where it was broken, clean the rusted spring and pop riveted was was still good from the outside part. Still working good. You also could have used a preventer to keep the boom from flying up.
Really nice to follow you!
You guys are awesome. Jade, Lasik is work it!
You three put together a wonderful episode !! It makes for a nice way to start my Saturday morning.
Thanks for the drill attachments info! Got them for my boat and will be testing next week 😃
What an amazing day 💪💯🇺🇲 much love 💘 Ianna 💘 😻 💜 💛 💚 🧡 till the next one
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL 😍 MUCH LOVE 💘 Ianna 💘 😻 💜 💛 💚
Awesome video guys!!! Y'all are doing a great job.
I look for your videos every day. thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
The scenery is stunning, the sounds are soothing, and the camaraderie is infectious..thank you for sharing!
I've owned boats and RV's. This saying applies to both. The only thing that works on a boat or rv is the owner. Lol😂 Please elaborate on the different sails your considering and how they will affect the sailing performance. Loving the video's, you guys are amazing!
Partially to feed the algorithm, but mainly to give you guys/gals a thumbs up on the videos. They're great!!
My boom vang was just a 4 to 1 mainsheet that I used. I would disconnect the shackle & connect it to the slotted toe rail as preventer
You guys reading SJM is literally making my life better 😂 i love seeing other people enjoy the same books that have been such staples throughout my life! Would love to hear some book recs, Jade! 📚📖
Starlink is incredible! Maybe a little pricey, but you get what you pay for! You guys have had such great weather!
Took me exactly one month from Bermuda to the Azores back in the 80s. 11th August to 11th September.
Yes, lasik is worth it! Had mine done 17 years ago. So nice to not have to mess with glasses or contacts.
I live for these videos. They are literally keeping me from falling into another cycle of my chronic depression. No pressure though 😂😂
At the end of the day I race to get everything done so I can watch you three. Oh shut I mean 5❤
LASIK - HELL YEAH!! I had Lasik in 2004 or so and had 20/10 vision until just last year. I'm 46 and now need readers.
Definitely recommend loazzick surgery Jade. I had it done back in 92 and never regretted it. They do one eye at a time and each treatment only takes like a minute or two… no pain at all!
I’ve seen interviews with people in the shipping industry and they say some companies order their captains not to change course! A US Coast Guard commander once told me,no matter who has the right of way,the bigger boat always wins! so it’s good to give way! Well done
Fair winds ⛵️
Another lovely video!!!
Always inspirational watching and learning from you guys!!!! Stay safe❤️
listening to books on tape at 2.5x...must be a Chip&Dale fan. Fair Winds 😎
After seeing this video a Night sail ASMR video should be made! The moon glistening on the ocean is beautiful
this is fantastic!!!
Your ocean visitor: For 13 years, I drove vehicle ferries on the Hawkesbury River, a major waterway which skirts around Sydney's western outkirts. Our 100 tonne steel ferries run across the river, scooting along steel cables, taking a couple of dozen cars/trucks across the river. In places, it's almost a kilometre wide. When the ferry leaves the bank, legally speaking, it owns the river and the river is closed to water traffic until the ferry reaches the other side. One day, there was one of those big white 'gin palaces' (as my dad used to call them - a hangover from his navy days) cruising up and down the river. I guess it was about 50 feet long, multiple decks, bikini-clad women sipping champagne and generally being arrogant. The skipper of that vessel didnt know or care about the rule that in law the ferry closed the river every few minutes to take 24 cars across. The first couple of times, its timing took it behind us. It didnt really affect anyone that it was ignoring the law so we just shrugged and got on with our jobs Then the inevitable happened, we were crossing the river and this damn gin palace looked like it was going to go right across our cables in front of us, which would have cut the cables, setting us adrift, endangered a load of vehicles and their passengers, and put the multimillion dollar government-owned ferry at risk of colliding with other vessels or structures along the river. We sounded our horn multiple times, but our horn blast sounded pretty puny under the circumstances. The gin palace kept coming closer. Hearing the noise, the sound of our horn attracted the attention of some of the champagne-sipping bikini-clad women, who looked on, amused at what the little pipsqueakes on the ferry were up to, trying to order them about. One of the cars on the deck of our ferry was equipped with a giant roadtrain air horn, and the owner had obviously been waiting for a day like this for a long time. As the gin palace approached the vehicle ferry, and collision seemed more and more likely. suddenly from down on our deck this vehicle let loose a 10 second deafening blast that made us think a cruise ship was coming up the river. It galvanised the crew of this gin palace into action and just in time they turned to avoid us. (As so they should have!!) But that didnt mean the owner of that vehicle thought the incident was at an end. He kept on with the horn blasts for another couple of minutes, which would have been heard 15 km up and down the river. The people on the gin palace looked a bit sheepish as they waited for us to finish crossing the river and our passengers applauded loudly.
You guys could use a horn like that fella had on his car. That merchant ship obviously had no one on watch, or whoever WAS on watch was asleep. Imagine the fun on board that ship if they suddenly had a horn blast that felt like they had a USN destroyer 2 metres from their port bow.
Great seamanship story. Hope you can share more of your adventures:)
Brett using both winches to hold the stop reminds me of a top gear moment where the guy goes “sometimes my genius frightens me” lol I would have never thought of that
I look forward the these videos every day!! Great work!
I had Lazic done in '96' mostly so I could wear non-prescription sunglasses when riding. But I also had a CDL and after twelve years I needed to wear glasses to pass the eye exam. I am going to have cataract surgery in August and the doctor saw some minor scaring from the Lazic. I would do it again.
Love the daily updates on the crossing 😊
These crossing updates are amazing. We can't express our appreciation, the learning experience is massive. Thank you so much for these vlogs on your fun filled passage. The ship looked like a coal or iron ore carrier, possibly loaded in Norfolk, Virginia heading for Germany. The service speed is usually 12.8 knots on this type of vessel. Being foreign registered they don't answer the VHF, unless a PanPan or Emergency call is announced.
I liked Brett's braids! Safe travels ❤️
Love you all ❤
Buckit over board is good drill glad u followed my suggestion
Lasix...yes had it done in 1999...went from 20-800 to 20-20 and 20-15. definitely worth it. highly recommend it.
Thank you for doing these daily videos. I have always wanted to make a Transatlantic journey since going on a cruise on the QE2 and talking to the crew about it. So far watching it on your channel is the closest I’ve come to actually doing it though. Glad to see it is amazingly smooth for you so far.
Yeah, got a love it🤔 cooking with a cordless drill !! Now that “mint” !!
when we were sailing in the Med. we churned up alot of florescent algae. was cool to see the trail behind us.
Jade, you asked if lasik is worth it. I say absolutely. I had it done about 20 years ago and I have only hadI 2 drawbacks. My eyes are very dry and my close up vision has gotten worse as I have gotten older. I am now 52 and my close up started to get worse about 5 years ago. This happens anyways but doctors say it happens a bit faster with lasik. Both my sister and I are completely happy with lasik. My brother in law is frustrated with close up but his distance is fantastic. Be sure to talk to your doctor about dry eyes and close up vision issues as you get older.
Peace
A most magnificent episode!!
These videos have been amazing. Really enjoying watching your progress and the daily life on board! I've almost gotten my normally extremely sceptical/judgey family to watch. 😂
I think the reason for having a boom vang is so you can say 'boom vang'.
Take care ... Tight Sails
Lasik was 100% the best thing I have ever paid for. Highly, highly recommend. It will take about 24hrs until it stops itching/hurting but keep your eyes moist and protected it will help. Do it you won’t regret it!
I had lasek done back in 2000. I was 1 of the 10% that would experience discomfort. Day 3 after the surgery was the worst with very itchy eyes that you absolutely cannot rub. Took a month before I could drive at night due to very bad halos around everything illuminated. On top of that, my surgeon said I would need it again in 25 years, or wear reading glasses. (Had surgery due to being near sighted). I still have 20/20 vision, but I am playing the trombone now trying to read things. Even after all that, 10/10 would recommend.
