A Huntress is BORN! Remote Islands Sailing | EE 142

[@delaray7]

Oh bless her. A fish stole her rod! That has to be the cutest thing I've heard. She's beautiful. Your face after she explained was worth a million dollars, but your love shone through. No raised voices, just a retrieval for her sake, so she can carry on and put it behind her. Love it. 💝

[@maminals2137]

You can pull your plug out of your dinghy while on step running to drain water in dinghy. While driving dinghy around will drain all water. Bayou tip from your admiring Cajun.

[@edburke2902]

Yup, just put the plug back in before you slow down.

The wire is to keep birds off the spreader. I have exactly the same Beneteau 49 and I love following you guys!

[@californiakayaker]

One of my favorite boats. Does yours have a saildrive ?

[@caseywagnor404]

I was coming here to say the same!

[@ExpeditionEvans]

Beneteau 49 club 🙌

[@caseywagnor404]

@@ExpeditionEvansright?! Lol. Speaking of… did you ever post a link for the containers you have in the galley cabinet just left of the oven? I’m having a hard time finding ones that fit that don’t WASTE space.

[@Sammyturtle]

I would have one of the fencing all the way around the boat just in case one of the dogs would lose their balance. The question is who benefits the most from having the dogs aboard for a passage? Proper English is not necessary when conversing via messaging.

[@virginiachase6008]

I just love you two. and of course the puppers.

[@sheldonpenn1815]

I think the wire was stretched above the spreaders to discourage birds from landing on the spreaders. If you are a bird it is a excellent place to take a poop from

[@jimbartram7223]

You too must be the happiest couple in the world

[@johnmorrison8942]

Thanks!

[@marcericdavis]

Great vid. You both look great , but the improvement in Jade's health and happiness since the early days of the boat rebuild is really nice to see. Thanks for sharing.

[@johnbailey9747]

Being a retired mariner I really like watching you both as a team always smiling and enjoying your boat life. Hoping for fair winds and smooth sailing!!

[@mmacas7411]

You two are amazing, unique and far beyond all others in terms of storytelling, the relatability, the responsibility as utube creators, and we are simply hooked to your journey, wherever you take us. Don’t ever change this and don’t trade this or conform your style like some others did through the years. Just continue as you ❤

Just hold still for a minute lol Ya'll have ants in your pants lol Or sand fleas 😂😂😂

The yellow and white stripe, braids, and hat is absolutely cute country. I love dressing with themes 😊

[@paulreynolds2898]

A beautiful couple, a beautiful life, well deserved too, Jade I apply ! 🙂

[@shockwavegaming1376]

Your skin loves you for taking good care of it! I wear long sleeved shirts all the time and that is one of the reasons. As for the boatswain's chair harness it is so much more comfortable as a working platform and long duration jobs. I know because I've been a professional arborist for over 13yrs and love my working harness. I am also a sailor and in the future hope to be a commercial airline pilot. Those are some of the reasons why I enjoy your channel so much. On top of the common interests you two also have so much excitement for living and adventuring that it makes the episodes fun to watch. Keep up the good work. 👍

[@garyweiss1876]

Fun video. Your spearfishing sections of the video were enjoyable and good variety of other activities that I guess is your day in the life stuff. But it all worked well. Thanks.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Good to see the paper snowflakes, I used to have my own Origami business but it folded, unlike my friends Bonsai tree business that was so successful that he had to move into smaller premises.

I absolutely love my Kamikoto Knives 🔪. I bought a set for one of my favorite cooks and loved them so much that I ended up buying another set for my Wife and I. Blessings,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸

[@NigelHamer]

If the wire was about 6" above the spreaders from mast to shroud it will be to stop birds landing on the spreaders. No birds = no poop on the deck.

[@geoffreyjenkins4086]

If the wire was ~ 3" above the spreader, it was to keep birds off the speader. We have the same rig on our boat and it works well.

[@a.s.clifton544]

I’m jumping ahead (just for a second) from episode 28 in the middle of my binge to suggest an audiobook. In my youth, *Jonathan Livingston Seagull* was THE book for all free spirits. Unfortunately, also in my youth, few free spirits worked as hard as you two have. Anyway, the book is about unrealistic dreams. I think you would like it. I’m sorry I don’t have a narration recommendation. Now, back to the binge.

[@jerrymurphy6856]

Great episode this week. YOu guys always do a great job. I looked forward to them each week. I don't know what It is lately but Jade you are more beautiful than ever. Bret is certainly a lucky man.

[@atschris]

Bird keeper-offer, that’s what your stray bit of wire is for.

[@monicasgh68]

Is that its official name? I love it.

[@bluemoonshine6360]

I was hoping that when you went in search of Jades spear, you would find more lobsters. Darn. Would have loved a good lobster feast.

[@mikehollydennis1879]

So, I was made aware of those knives from your channel and bought a set. Love em. I use them for everything and haven't had to sharpen them yet and they slice through anything I throw at them with ease. I highly recommend them.

[@rayb3117]

Great dive, and the drone shots when you were up the mast Jade were spectacular.

[@jesuschrist-alphaomega]

So awesome. The Huntress

[@randompharmacist4850]

Jade is a rock star!

[@billl7083]

Good chance the little wire is to keep a spinnaker from wraping around the tip of the spreader which often results in rip. Rigging already grounded via itself and mast.

You guys are awesome. You should look into getting a milwaukee m12 transfer pump. It would def come in handy and be a good thing to have as a back up

[@johntarling1077]

Fantastic to learn from both of you and the dogs.

[@RichardSwinton]

i used to scuba dive for big ling cod on the south coast of british columbia. i can relate. The water where u guys are is a little clearer. cHEERS AND STAY SAFE

[@robertsloane1268]

That is some really nice water.. so clear.😊

Wow that's deep, good thing you guys know where to get some fish hehe. Love the video Great Views too!! Ah the Sea! :)

[@michaelpierce2637]

Funny, after I made my comment, saw the video on the generator broken hose. Water issue solved.

[@jenniferdavis8088]

If you run the dingy fast and pull the plug the water will get sucked out and you want have to use a pump to get it out , you just have to be good enough to get the plug back in my husband does it

[@alyxiastarling7990]

We really liked the 55 OC we saw at the boatshow. We are still undecided on a manufacturer. The owner of ocean renegade seems cool.

yes Bret its for static in sails that are in the air from sale material

With regard to Penny dog food, in the UK we have working dog food, this is higher fat and protein content. We use it for our Lurcher, she runs marathons with us.

[@johnmooney2411]

Thanks for another great episode, and for allowing us to live your adventure with you vicariously! I've been following you guys for quite a while, and when you were doing your last minute preparations to leave Rhode Island, you were anchored quite close to my house on the Kickemuit River in Bristol (unfortunately, I didn't realize you were there until you had left, so I missed the chance to say hi). I have to say that as a lifelong sailor, I've been consistently impressed with the way you guys have learned what you need to know as you go - bravo! That said, as an ex-rigger who has been up a lot of masts, I have two small and respectful suggestions to offer: 1) When you order your new sails, it might be worth it to ask your sailmaker about using the type of thread which is more resistant to UV degradation where they can (since the stitching usually fails before the surrounding cloth). It's often used to stitch UV cover on a roller furling headsail, and I think it's a little more expensive, but especially in the Caribbean (and other very sunny and salty parts of the world), UV damage is an issue, and the longevity may be worth the extra cost. 2) When someone is up a rig with only one person on deck available to control the halyard that keeps them aloft and safe, it's good practice to let them down by easing the halyard into the winch as smoothly as possible with your left hand, but while remaining close enough to the winch to keep your right hand loosely covering the wraps around the winch, instead of feeding the line from a distance. That way, if you stumble, slip, or drop the tail of the line some other way (easier than you might think), you simply close your right hand's grip on the winch drum and it should act as a brake until you get the tail back in your left hand, and reduce the risk of a fall from up the rig (this can also allow fewer wraps on the winch, which can lead to a smoother descent for the person aloft). Of course, (as it looks like you did), it's a good idea to make sure the halyard is well flaked and free of potential kinks or snags before you begin the descent. BTW, I agree with Paul Magnin that the wire is an anti-seabird device, and when you're in an anchorage with gulls or especially cormorants nearby, it will deter them from roosting on your spreaders and significantly reduce the amount of guano you have to clean up off your spreaders and deck. Thanks again, and well done!

[@Odonanmarg]

They are wonderful dogs.

I think that from now on I’m going to be calling Jade the Captain 👩‍✈️❗️She caught your Dinner 🐟 ,Fixed the Sail and She’s Da Man 😊💥 I so Much Love watching your trips and everything you do on your boat. I’m already looking forward to watching your next video 😊 Keep loving each other like there’s no tomorrow and I’ll be Praying 🙏 for the two of you.

Hola, los felicito, me sorprende lo bien que se llevan como pareja y la hermosa forma en que se complementan, muy bueno el video y todo lo demas.👍👍👍

[@danmatte1]

This is great! I have a 2006 Beneteau, and I have to go up the mast because of a sail problem. The front Jib will not come down for winter storage. I did not know that I will have to change the sails soon, thanks for sharing. The wire is for the seagulls to keep them off the spreader maybe?

[@nautichunt84]

We (Ozzie's) say grouper but our grouper are the size of VW bugs and are protected, what you catch are what we call cod

[@charlespleisse1984]

That random wire may have been to deter birds landing on the spreader. I have them on my boat. Thin wire from shroud to mast 4 or 5 inches above and parallel to the mast.

[@Johnsouthshore]

I got the Komikoto knives with your discount. It was based on your recommendation. Love them..

[@ExpeditionEvans]

Thank you!

[@wow.sailor.]

Wow Sailor 🥳🥳👍

[@waynemckee9170]

Birds off the spreader….poop off the deck.

[@aytacercen944]

I am guessing same thread is used throughout the entire sail. If Jade was able rip it off as easily as she did and had every stich break up by pulling on it with one hand while she is up on the mast that esily, the rest of the threads that stich pieces of the sail cloth has to be suspect. You guys said you were contemplating new sails, depending on your time table I would inspect that sail carefully because if UV and age made that piece Jade ripped off the sail that brittle the rest of the sail stiching can easily rip off under heavy sailing.

[@eduardoHMYT]

Great content! Get ready for the lyonfish!

[@rboston33]

Excellent episode

[@reganisme]

Have you tried pulling the plug on the dingy while motoring fast? Water drains completely.

[@dyspepticcurmudgeon4136]

It would have been a lot simpler (and safer) to have pulled the main all the way out on the outhaul, and then lowered the main with the halyard, taking it out of the mast slot, flaking it on the deck, and then working on the sail while sitting on the deck. No bosun's chair numbness and no time pressure to get it done. You could actually have stitched the batten pocket back on. The original thread holes make it easy to push the needle through the sail + pocket combo.

[@turboturtle9083]

The way that stitching disintegrated tells you the rest of the sail is not far behind.

[@amarcadis8428]

Hi guys. Love your videos. Love how you deal so well with problems. Question I have is did you consider lowering the sail to deal with the batten pocket rather than going up the mast?

[@krisk9987]

The hole in the ocean freaks me out.

[@davidperham897]

Those deep Blue holes scare me, if I heard right they are dangerous with their own currents many divers have had trouble with them some have lost their lives Cdn Dave

[@darkmoon855]
