Jack's voice-over was so eloquently expressed and with clear diction. Very impressive for such a young man.

[@sorcerermalekith]

No offense to everyone else but Jack's narration is the most precious thing ever!

[@SailingMelody]

hahaha no offence taken were very proud of him

[@alanlaero]

@@SailingMelody He should totally do more narration it was great! His tone and cadence was spot on...

[@mikef5792]

Absolutly agree. Mike and Fenna. Sv mrs falcon

[@junemartin1475]

Jack, such a marvelous job of narrating this episode!🎉🎉

[@SailingMelody]

We’re very proud of him :)

[@flynfishak]

To Jacks question from a former commercial fisherman. It depends on the type of fish you're after. Surface swimming/feeding fish are affected by light, tides, angle of sun etc. Deep sea fish couldn't care-the-less about day or night. They live in permanent night. A lot of the boats you're moored close too in this video are trawlers after midwater or bottom fish, so they don't are about day or night. But, many of the smaller boats there are after cuttlefish and they rise to the surface at night to hunt their prey. Which is what those lights are on the decks of the boats for. They attract the cuttle fish prey which attracts the cuttlefish.

[@mickd6942]

All that hard work but the reward must be the best feeling in the world .

[@SailingMelody]

it is yes :) thanks

[@Sp3ktral22]

Jack.. when you are ready, TED talk please?! Beautifully narrated. Kudos to you young man 👍

She is a fast passage maker no doubt about that, great footage in wintry weather stay safe folks.

[@thatsailingpage]

Don't think many lads Jack's age (or even a lot of adults) could explain how sails work that well. Home schooling is really working for him - and his parents must be so proud! :)

[@SailingMelody]

Thank you, yes we're very proud of him

[@bmunday]

@Jack, don't let it go to your head. Let your genius not be something you think about. Let your friendships with your older friends always cheer and inform you. Being multi-generational is not something normal for kids that are shipped into the educational system. You have my support young sir, love your journey and your family and its foibles. Also, it is difficult to have friends that are so much older, they are often stronger and more capable. Assure them, you are willing to figure out how to do it, being younger and less experienced. You have less failures than we old ones do. Do NOT let that intimidate you. Make them give you responsibility, dont listen to their 'conditions' for it. All hearts , and fairey winds~

[@taffythegreat1986]

My friend tends to catch more fish at night, than the daytime. I think it’s because he works through the day 😂. Good luck little friend 👍👍

[@loydsa]

Brilliant video all around! Excellent narration from Jack.

[@marcobrambilla5851]

nice video with professor Jack on stage

[@trevhedges]

Very cool, excellent narration Captain Jack!

[@SailingMelody]

Thanks Trev :)

[@bertiebaz5455]

Fabulous! What a great episode, I loved the sailing, it made me feel like I was there and the music was just superb, brought a tear to my eye. Wonderful to see Andy so happy, obviously completely in his element. Captain Jack, what can I say, there's a great future for him making ducumentaries and thanks for the clear and concise explanation to a landlubber like me of how a yacht uses to wind. I've had to watch it again, I love the sound of the sea against the hull and the feeling of movement. Can't wait for more of the same. Best wishes to Melissa, hang on in there!

[@SailingMelody]

Thanks Bertie. Hanging on :)

[@grahamsmith8122]

Jack, to answer your question. During the nightime, the only fish you catch are the ones that are not in bed. They are usually back late from a swim and are having a munchie attack, thats why they bite. Hope this helps.

[@christyhanlon554]

Jack has the makings of an amazing sailor 👍👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪well done buddy 👍

[@SailingMelody]

He definitely has a good grasp of the principles

[@WimvdBrink]

With parents like this, and starting out so young, he will have lots of trouble staying ashore.

I love that Jack is voicing some of the narration. Well done Jack.

[@MarcelEling]

Must be a good feeling this sailing.

[@JesseBlair]

Have To Say Jack , That quite the the poetic and stoic morning intro! You should keep a sailors journal (Journal of ya sea travels written in pose or third person story) nice way to open a new video or close out till the next one.

[@Tankie225]

Jack how eloquently narrated! Well done - your old man wants to watch himself. You will be the Captain in no time! 👏🏻

GOOD COMMENTRY JACK

VETERAN Scots GUARDS, /Royal Scots..you are a wonderful family with a great ethos..fair Winds God Bless you all..

[@SVBlownAway]

In answer to Jack’s question, apparently you are supposed to fish at sunrise and sunset for best results! Although we don’t know this from experience! Nice to see you out on the water!

We should get some fishy person on board to teach us some fishy skills

Enjoyed the video especially listening to Jack explaining the way of the wind when sailing I understand what he means about the fishy smell I used to visit fishing harbours with my parents looking forward to the next video look after yourself Melissa

Awesome video 👍 👏 Loved Jack's input 👌👍👏🥰 instead of music/noise . I didn't need to keep playing with the volume enery mn 👌👍👏💪💯 The noise of the boat and wind and waves are much more natural and enjoyable than music. Love the info and explanation bits 👌 👍 👏 Ye made it safely even if the weather was on the cold side, and such lovely, friendly and very helpful people at your arrival, That was awesome 👌 Thanks for sharing with us. ✌❤🍀

Planar sells package deals on hydronic heating and air heating systems. If you get both, you'll have hot air with both systems, plus hot water with the hydronic. The reason for adding the air only heater is that the hydronic heater can take 20 min to warm up the air. $2,000 Canadian for both heaters. I've been very pleased with mine.

Funnily enough, we're installing a complete brand new sysmte from Autoterm, Planar soon. We just didn't have time to do it before we did this trip

[@TheBeaker59]

Jack about your question, re fishing at night, really that depends on the fish and where you are fishing for them. But in general best times are dusk and dawn, change of light seems to turn the fish to feeding, at night there are more less desirable species like sharks and rays during the day can be very good in deeper water and at night in very shallow water. This is my experience here in New Zealand at least. So the answer is , It depends :).
