You guys are the best, Kristen, I always appreciate your narration.

[@sailingjoco]

Thanks much for the compliments we appreciate them !!!

[@jonunya3128]

it looks like you were rolling through a 90 degree arc, that's brutal!

[@sailingjoco]

Oh man it was ROUUUUGH ! We tried our best to passage plan and it all looked great on paper but the weather changed from forecasted big time !!

[@kbbarton1]

They're called "swells" because they suck like your ankle does when you twist it really bad. That ensign does not look like a nice new one that someone may have sent to you... 🤔 And a sandy bottom is probably better than a muddy bottom. 😂

[@sailingjoco]

Haha !! Remember we are behind in vids ! Your gift will be proudly waving in the wind when we get launched !! Can’t wait !!!!!

[@Timarc767]

Well done doing the provisions in Guadeloupe, you were well informed because it is expensive over in Antigua. Got some of the best beaches out there tho😊. Be safe out there guys. I am enjoying the Antilles through your videos thank you soo much keep em coming 😁

[@sailingjoco]

Thanks Tim! We CANT WAIT to show you the stunning beaches of Antigua … however stay tuned for the next episode to check out our weather during our stay lol …

[@Timarc767]

@@sailingjoco I'm tuned lol

[@sailingjoco]

Love it!

[@carlcantrell4781]

Just remember that, instead of enjoying the swells, you could be living in New York City, LA, or Chicago. Maybe the swells are not so bad? 🙂 You guys make the best of paradise.

[@sailingjoco]

It is excellent to have a counter point of view to reflect on for sure! Even with the BIG UPS AND DOWN (in the swell lol) we’d still choose sailing :)

[@briandale8386]

That’s a nice looking boat . I like it .There’s one in Rio Dulce on Yachtworld with no teak on it in the pictures . It looks naked

[@sailingjoco]

Thanks ! But sometimes ya gotta strip down ….. lololol

[@allynonderdonk7577]

You need some Flopper Stoppers

[@sailingjoco]

Yeah those woulda helped in that situation I’m sure! We have friends who have them and they like em. Maybe something to consider in the future 👌👌

[@ghostflier520]

Question, why not put your sail up and settle the boat down?

[@sailingjoco]

It just flaps every which way , and pretty aggressively - puts major wear & tear on it and the standing rigging !

[@markbuskens6070]

That sucks you need to learn how to pull you anchor chain around to your jib winches to angle Joco ito the swells to ride mor comfortable

[@sailingjoco]

Definitely would have helped !! I think we were just hoping it would pass and because we were leaving the next day we didn’t bother to rig anything up. Lesson learned - do the work ! Lol
