There seems to be good wind for us to make our trip to St. Martin from Ile Fourchue, but rain clouds are all around, so we might get a little wet. Once underway, we anticipated dodging rain clouds but we didn’t expect the need to avoid racing yachts. We thought we were going to have more than enough wind to keep a fast pace, but the surrounding squalls sucked away all our wind. About half way through our sail the sky cleared and the sun came out of its hiding place. The nice weather brought strong winds and even stronger gusts. We did a couple of sail changes. Then we caught a FISH! Our dry spell had finally ended.
We were excited to get anchored and cook up something tasty. Before we threw our anchor we noticed a huge swell that was rolling through the anchorage. I set up a swell bridal in hopes to ride the wave from bow to stern instead of beam to beam, while Brandy found a nice parmesan crusted fish recipe for the nice Cero mackerel we just caught. It was delicious!

Just wanted to tell you that I’ve especially been thankful for your videos lately :)
WOW!! Thanks Sarah. That just made our MONTH! We do hope we are giving a little escape. ⛵
Pro tip. When you are done with the spices close the lid or cap. My wife is bad about that as well. The spices will still clump but the less humidity it can absorb the better so it will take longer to clump. You can also pop of the shaker top and then use a length of rod to smash the clumped garlic or onion powder back to powder. Great video and congrats on the bounty of fish! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks David! I think its because they are twist on lids and bigger bottles. We've tried to break them up, but they are hard as a rock now! lol. we have to use them like bouillon cubes 😂.
Just started watching your videos and enjoying them. What is Beau’s background. He’s seems very knowledgeable about mechanics and electrical work. Stay Safe !
I've watched most of your later videos .. today I started at the beginning, it'll take a while to catch back up but enjoying watching your boat transformation. ... I'm taking longer than 2 years; I'm into year 2 on my rebuild. Interesting to watch your techniques. I only watch a handful of youtube cruisers; your one of my favorite.
All electric boat...cool...just like Uma. Somehow your videos hasn’t come in front of me for a while. Glad to have found you again. Well done video. -Rebecca on SV Brick House
Hey there! So happy to have you back! Love your boats name! 🙌
Thanks for showing sailing! My favorite part!!!
Fresh Mackerel fried in butter is excellent
I love watching your progress into a truly seaworthy couple. You have come so very far
WOW Dan, don't get us all teary eyed over here! Very nice of you to say!
@@BeauAndBrandy I'm just a keen observer of the facts. Hope to meet you soon face to face
Awesome job on filming... for you garlic powder and onion powder issues find you a black pepper grinder and switch out the container.
Thanks Mike!!! Yes, we've been looking for another grinder everywhere we go. We might have to order one.
Was wondering why I haven't seen you guys. I discovered I had somehow been unsubscribed. I remedied that situation. Y'all be safe and stay healthy. Love y'all.
fish cooks till you can flake it with a fork, your headstay is a little loose so when you go upwind you might want to tighten it up (or since most Mighty Pearsons have telephone poles for masts, your backstay tightened with tighten your headstay. Rules of the Road - just remember they other guy may be counting on you to know them and act like you know them. Have Fun and thanks for letting is un-isolate! ps - I subscribed!
Hey guys, glad you're fishy dry spell is over!! Now I'm no expert, but I've had the garlic powder clump up before from humidity many times too. I just end up "re-powdering" it with a butter knife or spoon using the handle end down in the spice bottle, but maybe try dumping the powder in a freezer baggie or 2 if those are available. Also maybe those little moisture thingys that come in the bottom of some foods, like jerky.. What is it called..? You know what I mean.. Those thingys! Anyway, if it's in a baggie, you can pinch it onto your food like the fancy chefs do! Hey?! I know!! And if it still clumps up, Beau can beat it into submission in the baggie easy enough with no mess. That's my 2 cents on that.
Now, the sunsets & sunrises down there are stunning on some of your vids, & they always leave me wanting more.. Then my mind starts to wander about what it must be like, & I start wondering about the nights.. Do you guys hang out on deck after dark much? What's it like? Is it cooler & more comfortable, or does the wind kick up too much? Is it still? What about the stars at night? I bet there's tons there with little nearby urban light pollution.. Are there? Do you even get into that crap? Or do you go down with the sun? And last, have you ever tried night fishing right there at anchorage using the pieces of the fish you don't eat? Or would that not work with ocean fishing & you'd hook into something you'd rather not, like a shark? Ok, enough questions, but there's some good ones for you to answer on your next vid if you run out of ideas!! 😁
There's just something about watching you guys doing your thing out there. I think it's that you're both so down to earth & likeable, doing something adventurous, & it looks like fun with a comfortable pace of daily life compared to the daily repeating rat race on land. We (I anyways) can briefly live vicariously through your adventures...
P.S. Beau is thee man! 😎👍. Ever make it to Upstate NY, I'll take ya fishing on Lake Champlain..
Oh, sorry, Brandy, you're awesome too.. (for a girl) 😂😂
JOKING!! Got ya!! 😂😂
meanwhile as beau pummels our garlic... lol. We have a ritual to have a hot tea and watch the sunset. we tend to chat until it gets dark. THE STARS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD! You will find Brandy on deck at 2 in the morning, staring up at the sky. Definitely taking these ideas down, we will be showing some more of this coming up! Thanks for watching. OH and by the way we were in Albany for 3 years prior to getting Saoirse! Maybe we will see ya up there one day!
@@BeauAndBrandy Oh wow, so you were less than an hour from here, & look where you are now!! So cool! I just finished watching your last vid. On one hand I hate seeing your freedom to move about & explore hampered, but on the other hand it's (maybe?) a good place to be stuck(?) & glad to see you're both keeping your humor intact & not stressing too bad! Then on yet another hand it sucks to know that a nearby island closed it's grocery stores without advanced warning... Strikes me as them being just a tad out of touch with the citizens. Anyway, hope your supply lines stay wide open to you & all your cohort sailor/adventurers. I know you're both very capable & together you're invincible, but when you're thinking of what you should do, would it be insanity to head towards home?? I know for a fact there's more than just my light left on for yas.. And although many places are very very closed & stay home-ish, I know some places like Georgia are being a bit more trusting of individual peoples ability to protect themselves from germ contamination & opening back up, so maybe some safe little harbor has a nice anchorage that would let you in before hurricane season hits? It's an idea, maybe not the best, but it's an idea nonetheless..😝
Speaking of ideas, this might seem fun for viewers & you guys; How about you teach us land-lubbars some of that sailor jargon?? Like Portside, Salon, Tack, Jib, Aft, Knots vs. knots, & all that. Like we had a great sail, with "smooth lines" the whole way.. What is the smooth lines?. Stuff like that.. Again, just an idea weather or not it's a good one, I make no claims..
With admiration & care.. Joe
We have been enjoying watching your videos. We are fairly new to sailing ourselves and you guys are fun to watch! We dream about taking our son and our doggo and heading south one day!
Great job catching the fish!
Thank you! Finally! 🙌
Stay healthy and say Hi to that salty dog Oona. Sail on, sail on!!
Thanks Fred! She says HI!!
bonsoir vous deux. Vous avez trouvés la recette du bonheur. Une eau limpide, du vent, Beau à la manœuvre et Brandy aux fourneaux. Que demander de mieux?. En ces temps de pandémie vos vidéos font un bien fou. Merci de nous faire partager votre rêve. Prenez soin de vous. Olivier.
Great video, mackerel is also good cooked whole on the bbq and it saves you time to cut and chop fresh garlic and onion.
9:43 Love you guys all three of you play it safe with life vest.
We try to play it safe, most times :)
Sorry to say, spices like onion powder, celery salt, garlic powder and many more are very susceptible to humidity. I would suggest purchasing them in small containers/packages. It may seem more expensive at the outset, but if these are things you do not use daily smaller packages that reman sealed will stay fresher for the long passages.
We are doing that at the moment for some of the other spices. But when you can find something here in the islands, you gotta by bulk sometimes 😬.
It's good to get the fish skunk off lol.
Thank the heavens above! let's hope it starts our streak back up!
What an amazing lifestyle !!! Love what you guys are doing and Absolutely love your sweet Doggo. Quick Ques How does ur doggo do her roilwt on or off the boat ??? very curious, cause I know most dogs like to walk before they do thier buissness !!! Thank you for sharing ur wonderful lifestyle with the world !!!
I really enjoy watching your videos. I've had a dream of living on a sailboat since high school. Now though, I'm getting old and it will never happen. Now I enjoy sailing Lake Erie to get my fix. Being on the water is a reward in itself regardless where it is. Bless you and keep safe and well.
We agree, just having the water beneath your keel is therapy enough. Thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful sky with the moon dancing above👍
Thank you!! Every night we watch it, and it never gets old.
That's a big one
You guys are so blessed. I dream about doing what you do.
Signed : an old salty sea dog missing the big blue
Thank you so much! Every day we say thanks that we get to do this. Happy to have you along with us, it makes this EVEN better! Thank you so much!
@@BeauAndBrandy thank you. That was so kind to respond. Fair winds and following seas always.
"Love seeing you living your dream come true life. You are happening sailors now. Highest Blessings
Thank you for the blessings as always! ✨
Loved the galley interactions and meal too, a different touch too instead of normal sailing vlogs.
Thanks, happy you liked it! We are trying to incorporate a little more of that sort of stuff.
Beau and Brandy we are following your every video,and so very proud you two finally left that certain boatyard you two edured so long living at..where Marc and I(Joy) got to meet you..and of course our huge dogs Chopper and sarah.Just found your videos last week and so proud and happy for you three. Keep having fun and we'll be watching you two enjoying all you so deserve.Amazing.
AHHHHHH!!!! OMGOSH!! Joy!! how are you guys and the pups!! Can't say we miss the yard, but we do miss all of our friends we met along the way! So happy you found us, KEEP IN TOUCH!! xoxo
Cero was a favourite of mine. Never caught any much bigger than the one you took. Just loved it fried in butter and vegetable oil. It never needed anything else just veg to accompany it on the plate. Bon Appetit!
It sure didn’t need much! So tasty!
So glad yall catching fish.... Geez!! Good job guys!
SERIOUSLY! We were beginning to think they didn't like us. haha
Mash potato flakes make a great encrusting material also.
Oh wow! thanks dan! wouldn't have ever thought of that! what a good idea!
Aye m8’s! Beau you really are into a nice Speedy Gonzales technique for handling those sheet lines 💪🏽💪🏽
Welcome to our gym. lol. Gotta work in a workout when we can. haha
Try dried Pinto Beans in the garlic and onion powder. Works to keep salt and sugar from clumping up. Couldn't hurt to try that. Thanks for another great video.
Great idea! Thanks JT!
We enjoy your adventures. Have fun.
Thanks so much Jarrett!
Thank you so much for all your videos. Since lock down here in the UK, I have binged watched from the beginning. What a ride! :)
Hey Sam!! thanks so much! Hope its giving you a little escape :)
This is a good thing to keep moisture from your food.
I also suggest using glass jars and not plastic jars
HOW BOVEDA IS MADE
Boveda works on the scientific principle that certain salts combined with water will naturally regulate humidity. Our patents are on what makes this portable and usable in packaging and containers. The film that encases Boveda will only allow the transfer of water vapor and won’t cause any damage to product or packaging through direct contact.
All Boveda products are maintenance free and require no activation. For medical instruments, we also know that a number of Boveda formulas are stable under gamma radiation sterilization.
Love you guys! An that fish looked yummy an the cauliflower too!!!!
HEY DONNA!! Thank you!! It was sooo nice to finally have a fish on board! :) hope you and your little guy are doing well!
Hi Beau& Brandy. My garlic powder used to solidify all the time. Now if the container has a tinfoil seal be sure not to throw it away. Reuse it and seal it well to make sure no air gets in there.From " hungry bachelor" lol
Dear hungry bachelor. 😂 we have some bottles like that but for our onion and garlic are twist on tops, so we think that may be a contributor of humidity gathering. but we could try to add some foil. Thanks for watchin'
Congrats on the fish..
Thank you. 🙌
I bless you three with peace, love and healing in your life. I bless your YT Channel and all that follow you.
AWW Thank you so much! Thank means so much to us! Your name fits you Happy Texan, thanks for making us smile😀😀😀
Looks like a great dinner. Keep having fun.
Thank you! We were so excited to have fish on the pole again! The meal turned out amazing!
Hi good to see you sailing and you don't need me to tell you what to do ....but.....one trick you might try instead of pinching up to depower in the gusts is to drop the traveler while the mainsail is still in tight. Your traveller is not very long so may not work that well , but better than letting the mainsail out and getting baggy and increasing heal. On my little racing keel boat I have it set up to quickly drop the traveller as the gust hits and then I pull the car back up to center or windward as the worst of the gust has past. I do this to maintain speed , course and keep the boat moving to avoid slowing down where heel increases with out forward motion.....or maybe that's just bull cr*p.... love the smiles, your have more fun that us! cheers Warren
That's actually a very helpful tip Warren! You know that we will always take heed to your advice. We will give that a go the next time we have that situation. Always are grateful for the sage advice of all of those that have come before us. Hope you are doing well!
Great Helming ? :) again Brandy! Great breakfast too great fish beau fun fun !
LOL.. Brandy sailing vocabulary 101. 😂😂
Looks yummy guys..
It was absolutely delicious! So happy to have fresh fish in the boat again!!
Glad to see your dry spell on fishing has ended. That dinner looked really good. Have never tried blended cauliflower with sour creme or creme fresh and Parmesan. Thank you for the new dinner idea. Take care and keep the fishing success string going.
That’s one of our fav ways to make it! Little chives, maybe Parmesan cheeses YUM!
I wanted to see yall land that big Wahoo. I bet yall were excited off the chart for that. I know its hard to film in those crazy moments.
Haha! We were just excited it was something other than a dang barracuda!! We haven’t seen a wahoo in a while 😭
You guys are awesome I'm so jealous living on a boat look so fun.
Hey Luis!! thanks for watchin' ... It really is the most amazing thing we have ever done, but also one of the most HARDEST things too. Ying and Yang.
Your dinner looked awfully good, the taste I had was too hard to find.
I find elbow noodles work the best for keeping garlic and onion powder from clumping up
Elbow noodles!! Genius!
OMG again a super episode! can't help it but just love you guys! and don't forget Oona !!!!!!!!!!! we all have to get out of this lockdown! Brandy did I understand it right you have rice corns in the garlic mix ? normally it should keep it dry? if yes you have no other option than keep it in plastic container and smash it couple of times to loose it up. looked yummy ! boat food isn't always like 5 star restaurant but as long your tummy and appetite are satisfied all is good! stay save and like always, just can't help it I have a big hart for dogs, UUUGE hug for Oona! lot's of love ! ⛵️☀️🌴🙏🐕💕🥰
Thanks so much Richard!! We have tried putting rice in the shakers, but the problem they are too small and can slip through the holes and the next thing you know you have crunchy eggs or soup. lol. they are so clumped up now we are using them like bouillon cubes. Giving extra hugs to Oona bear for you! Thanks for always watching and leaving us smiling with your comments.
@@BeauAndBrandy hope you like this to, just a quick thought !

That fish looks delicious
oh it sure was. especially after the dry spell we have had!
Add navy beans. Just a few. If nothing else it will help break up any clumps. But seriously it does help with the moisture
something that we would never have thought of! Great suggestion!
One suggestion when cooking fish: Cooking times can vary widely based on what you're cooking it on/in. Get yourselves a digital meat thermometer and probe into the fish to determine when it has reached the correct "cooked" temperature. Perfectly "done" fish every time. Something like: www.thermoworks.com/ThermoPop
just remember port tack gives way to starboard tack always.
Yes, that's the rule we follow, unless it's not. If you know what I mean. no need to play chicken with the charter boats out here 😜
How in the hell can ANYONE hit the `dislike` button? Boggles me mind
There is sour cream in france its called crème aigre.
Great sail guys
Thanks!! Great chatting with you!!
I roast whole heads of garlic by cutting the top off wrapping it whole in foil and drizzling in a little olive oil. Same with small onions. I put them on the bbq for an hour or so with low heat, when done I squeeze it all into a small jar and cover with more olive oil. Keeps quite a while and the garlic or onion oil is as good as the garlic in it. Only thing I've found to work in warm humid places.
This sounds absolutely delicious!! We will have to give it a try!
Now if you could just smoke fiah on the boat.. ah smoked mackerel mmm
Yes!!! We need that! Smoked mackerel dip!! YUM!
yey you caught a fish! what lines and lures do you use? just started to cruise and troll from the boat but haven't caught a thing yet! ;/
Every lure in the book lol. But mainly cedar plug, squid skirts, tuna darts, and divers. Ballyhoo live bait has been good for us too. On a wire leader, with a 150 lb braided line. (which is prob overkill, but we've had too many big guys snap our line previously. We pretty much have a line in the water whenever we are sailing (except at night) and troll about 300 ft behind the boat. We like to troll drop offs mainly. Hope that helps. Best wishes for fresh fishes!
Store the garlic powder in another plastic container with damprid or you can hang the damprid PackIt in your food storage area
put a cracker into garlic and onion powders jars
Small, aluminum (or stainless steel), clamp-down, containers should keep your onion and garlic powder pretty good, as long as the rubber seal is good and the clamp is very tight.
we will have to look into that! Thanks for the suggestion!
You mention that Beau does something to reduce the rolling of the boat when at anchor. Could you please explain? Thank you. I really enjoy you videos!
Hey Ron! It's a swell bridle and really only works if the wind stays consistent. But I go over it in this video here so you can see more about it: czcams.com/video/-Prc1CsT-G4/video.html Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much. Great idea! I'll employ next time I'm in a rolling anchorage.
try 1 or 2 silica gel packs in each container. what was the problem with the rice?
I have the same problem with garlic salt and onion salt and I live on Dry land
Haha! maybe you can try some of these helpful suggestions some of the folks left here! So many good ideas!
have you tried dried beans to prevent clumping?
We haven't, but sounds like its a good idea. Lots of recommendations to use them!! Thanks!
CONGRATULATIONS! FISH ON! The skunk is off the boat. Macks are great day 1 not so much on day 2. That was a perfect dinner for two, the prep looked delicious. Beau, I was worried about your fishing outfit when you were boating the mack....glad Neptune didn't claim it. Sweet
The spinning of that reel is our favorite sound under sail! FISH ON! cheers to that! thanks for watching! Hope we pull in more soon!
Clumping spices! This blog says to put dry beans in with the spices and never shake the spices over steaming pots/pans as that adds to the moisture in the container! theboatgalley.com/stop-spices-from-clumping/
Another option is... Soda crackers absorbs moisture very quickly, they will not un-clump, but they absorb better than rice or beans, put them in a small fine mesh cloth bag, . Check them often if they’re soft replace them.
I know you meant to say gally as it is knowen on a boat.
Gerard.
sometimes we call it a galley sometimes we call it a kitchen. 🙃
Put aluminum foil over it then put lid on tight. Enjoy your ventures.
Y’all are real sailors: No roller furling for you! You hank on those jibs the old fashioned way! Nice video. It’s nice to see the basics like this. The fish looked great. Cauliflower is my least favorite food. Even adding a little to a dish ruins it for me. You can have my share of the world cauliflower crop.
HEY!! Thanks so much! It was either get started with what we had or wait around to get upgrades, you know which one we chose. Saoirse is definitely an old fashioned gal HAHA.
How are you two and the dog
That dog can't be enjoying that heat of a life jacket ...imo
Oona is our highest priority, promise :) We watch her like a hawk, she gets a nice bath if we think she is getting hot. But its been nice and cool and when we are sailing and the wind is blowin' she is all good.
sorry, Beau, but real Champions smoke their breakfast..lol
Do you guys have boat licence and ICC certification?
Nice video great catch great cooking video when ever trolling try and troll along the drop offs see if you can get a daisy chain for tuna put rod high in holder and put back 200 ft and diving bait Bonita color and mahi-mahi rainbow color and surface bait like islander blue purple pink and white keep them closer to. Go under the line of daisy chain. I am subber if you get big fish don’t wait to chase them drop sails do 180 and gather line and small barracuda you can eat under 10 lbs in middle of ocean no reef around to get cigatara good vid my birthday is coming up hoping to get my stimulus deposit so I can order fuel tank and install and fill up while rec90 is cheap JT 🇺🇸🇺🇸🐠🐟🛥🌴⛱😊😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Corona get the Hell out of here
So many AWESOME TIPS!! Thanks for sharing! We are ready to have fish flying into the boat. Hope you get your birthday present soon! and yes we agree.. corona can take a hike! 😜
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love the sailing action great video.I did not see you killing your fish, maybe you want to protect the viewers.
2 reasons to do so though: *1every creature hope for a quick death even at the end of a club. *2 fish taste better.
Tip;Best way to cook mackerel is to boil it in a mix of sea water and inexpensive white wine with a "bouquet garni"( fancy word for thyme, rosemary,laurel or similars) if no whine use fresh water an a nini sprinkle of sugar + nini splash vinegar.BTW (any) fish is ready when flesh and bones separate easily.
Serve the makerel with boiled potatoes and butter (+FRESH pasley) and you just saved yourself $50 in a Paris restaurant.
How do you guys make a living?
