You sucking on cough drops or is something stuck in your tooth

Can you cook a meal for us next time??? Stay safe thanks for sharing!!!!!

Well done….love the pace and style of this video. Live in B.C. right now, but heading back to sail the east coast next spring…will keep an eye out for the “Skookum Lady”(?). May your sheets stay taught and your schedule loose.

Well stated!

I'm ready to buy a boat, I'm learning, I thank you from Delaware ❤

1969islander sloop solo,, no engine for two years of West Coast and Mexico. In the late 90,s. Tough boat hand laid fiberglass, got bounced a few times of reefs and one Jetty. Only scratched the gelcoat. Steady High was her name. I miss her. Sailing on and Amen

I'm 46, with a similarly age wife, and your gray hair gives me hope. I recently had a life altering medical issue lay me low for the first time in my life and while in the hospital bed I had ample time to think. I've always wanted to get on a sailboat and head south to the Caribbean but it thought the time had passed and I was too old. It's good to see more mature adults making videos as they sail the high seas. Thank you! Thank you for your time and effort and for the mental reinforcement. I will be on the water very soon!

I'm concerned for your bike sitting on the stern. Most don't do well on deck with ocean air and sea spray. I have better luck with a folding bike that can be sprayed with a protective product and stowed below in a zipped waterproof bag. Ikea sells such a bag online it's called the "Dimpa" bag. Cost is $11.00 that's a great deal. I bought a dozen as they are great for other things you need to keep dry below on the boat. Fair winds & following seas. S/V Cork~Texas🇺🇸

Passage making is the key, I know your boat is 36ft LOA with a 6+/-foot differential LWL; small for “off soundings “ . In future get across the GS due south of ME. Weather warmer within 200 miles COG; ETA 🇧🇲. Spend time when weathered in on, the beach. Leaving Bermuda heading due SSE to the East end of the Bahamas Channel, warm sailing, breeze on the Starboard quarter, shifting east, then your choice when you reach the channel🎉

I like sailing, but it would be more cool to travel and tour overseas by modern blimp over all the crappie seas and weather. New modern blimps can carry heavy weight at 74 knots or higher altitudes for even more. No one has toured that way, hovering over land or sea!

Thanks for sharing!

Good stuff.

Looks like your boat anchored off Buckroe beach in Hampton. Are you ok? There are much better anchorages nearby.

It’s sad to have you leaving the area, but wonderful to see you in your element. So sail safe my friend. We’ll see you some time, soon I hope.

It's a beauty 🤗 Great job. What is the length of the sailboat you made the sail for? I am considering trying to make sails for my 25' sailboat that I am refitting. I enjoying DIY projects. Cheers, S/V Cork~Texas

"there's a beautiful schooner right over there..." I guess we'll just have to take your word for it since you didn't pan over and let us see it for ourselves

Thanks Rick, welcome aboard.

hi my name is Rick looks like you are having fun I live in new hampshire but was born in camden and grew up in belfast my mother lives in bayside in the summer and tampa in winter looking forward to more videos

So beautiful....

👍

Good to see you back in your element. The sails look fantastic. One comment, was your PFD under your slicker while you were moving forward and back on the deck?

Its truly amazing that humans came from accros the Atlantic, acompleshed as much as they did in the very waters that you sail . All by using the water ,its curents, and the wind.

Not Tapenzy Bridge, but it is the Verizano Bridge between Staten Island and Brooklyn. But that's OK. I enjoy watching the trip.

Followed you the whole trip and I was enthralled. Thanks Captain Jim

Interesting trip. Glad that dingy worked out. RIP that diesel. It’s had a long life.

You nailed it!

Hello from Deer Isle! Not a sailor anymore, but was one once, in a small way... long long ago... Enjoying the 3 videos I've seen so far and wanted to wecome you back to Maine! Still cool, but... it's Maine. Hope all's moving ahead smoothly w/ your dry arrangements and elec conversion!

What is your boat. This is the first of your videos I have seen, so I apologize if you have mentioned that before.

Love the sailing videos.

Abiels Ledge is in Buzzards Bay

What are your 48 v electric engine plans ? I've been trying to decide on similar thing for Skylark a Mercer 44ft sloop

I really enjoy your spirit captain! I wish you calm seas and the best of luck for your electric conversion.

Wind power is a must, then a Honda petrol generator - portable. Radar, auto pilot, uses a lot of power.

Passive or active AIS?

Are you using AIS?

I learned to sail in Willouby Spit. Kept my27 ft Oday at Willouby Marina. Ive been living VB ocenfront area now 20 yrs

BTW...It's LOO-ISS Deleware. Ask a native.

I had to google the "monkey and a football"

The monkey and football saying really got me!!!🤣🤣🤣🏈🐒

If you showed more of the life like indoors making food and maintenance on the boat and make the videos shorter youll get way more views

Fair winds to you!

Great video. Stay safe !

Heard rumor ole boy in Florida is an absolute specimen! 🤣 Thanks again for all the work! Excited to see the end results!

I've actually landed on a video (random😉) made just yesterday! I believe you're heading for Maine. Long way yet to go. Good luck and please keep your rain in the USA and don't send it to us in the UK ;)

Thank you James. awaiting the rest of your sail.

Jim - This might be fodder for a great documentary - perhaps PBS?

Serenity! Sure miss that beautiful boat! Do you still have her?

How cool is that...a whole pod of dolphin!!🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬
