[@AllAboutSpray]

Thank you everyone for watching and for your comments, I’m a bit overwhelmed with how many views and comments and new subscribers this video has received in the last day! I’d love to do a question and answer video next week to address some of your questions. If you have a question, please comment below and I’ll touch on it next Monday when the video comes out!

[@northernvault2247]

What is your best memory for sailing and do you own your boat. Love watching this vlog.

[@markhuston9250]

I am an old guy who can’t be on the water any longer. Sharing your voyage has been the highlight of my day. Thank you so much.

[@AllAboutSpray]

Thank you so much for your comment. I’m glad I could bring some ocean to you :)

[@Coleen_West]

GREAT! -- Finally -- someone gives us video without all the music and sound removed. This is the way it needs to be. Much better. Feels like we are right there wilh you. More of this type of video please!

[@AllAboutSpray]

After editing this one I think I agree with this opinion now! I will definitely be editing this way moving forward! Thanks so much

[@canyonhaverfield2201]

When music is considered, lean towards upping the quality of filming & narrative..I concure- sailing backed by audio stinks. What a treat sharing a long voyage with your pops...Honestly there wasn't a moment I didn't enjoy.

[@Coleen_West]

@@AllAboutSpray ..excellent.. Not sure exactly why, but there are two "mistakes" that newbie yutubers tend to make. 1) they use an inordinate amount of fast forwarded video (this should be used very rarely if ever), and 2) they delete natural sound and pump in music, They even start music when they start speaking, if you can imagine that, As best as I can tell, they believe that professional documentaries and movie producers do this. The reality is music is always cut when people speak and is rarely added at any other time other than the into and ending credits. It is just a weird misconception that is now prevalent on youtube.

What fantastic dad daughter memories you’ll have and bet dad couldn’t be more proud.

[@AllAboutSpray]

Very grateful for these memories!

[@richardcasey4439]

It’s actually quite nice seeing raw unedited video. Gives you a more realistic feel for being on the ocean

[@tomjohnson6036]

Don’t know your dad’s background but I think he’d be a good man to have in a foxhole. He has a slow, methodical way that seems super comforting in stressful situations.

[@AllAboutSpray]

He is very calm in stressful Situations and his engineering background really helps tackle any situation that comes up! I was very grateful to have him on this trip!

[@LeeWall-oi1tk]

Agreed

[@tubeyerself2]

Thanks for being the first sailing channel I've watched that has not shipwrecked the natural audio with overwhelming, headbanging music. Fair winds to you all.

[@AllAboutSpray]

I’m glad you liked it! Thanks so much

[@SailingSnowGum]

Perfect editing, commentary, content, sailing, improvising, - everything. Well done and thank you.

[@AllAboutSpray]

Thank you so much

[@robertmray]

What a refreshing "up close and personal" look at passage making. Good job..thanks for taking us along. Cheers from Tennessee.

[@leehoffman3604]

Great adventure. Thanks for taking me along for the ride. Welcome home.

[@johankotze42]

Nice to see the old style stuff. Like celestial navigation. Charts. Simple repairs.

[@doubled6595]

Thank you for the real deal - no music, just the beautiful ambient sounds.

[@davidbell4909]

The best video. The sounds of the waves and the boat. And actual sailing.

[@TimRivard-w8g]

When I watch these kinds of videos, I realize how much of an amateur sailor that I am despite 15 years on the water. What an amazing journey with your Dad.

[@amilton2128]

44 days. A lifetime of memories.

[@chuckquint7913]

Excellent all around. What a cool trip. You too are awesome

[@karenatha7890]

Aww. The best part of of my father taught me sailing. RIP, Dad.

What an amazing journey and a wonderful time to bond with your pops, thank you for such a great video.

[@jsvno]

Thank u from Norway - nice handling! nice for me to watch.

[@dalehazlehurst7359]

Enjoyed and best of all no music which just robs the story. Nice to see such a great positive attitude over the long voyage!

[@AllAboutSpray]

Thanks I appreciate the feedback!

[@andrewstewart3133]

What an awesome video. Congrats on the trip and problem solving along the way. So raw and real!

[@AllAboutSpray]

Thank you ☺️

[@oldshipmatesadventures]

My daughter is 8 now, and she's starting to get interested in going out with me "to see the dolphins" :-) I hope she will be enjoying the sea as much as I do, and as she grows she may become a skilled sailor too, who knows As a dad, I am happy to see you and your dad being able to spend this valuable time together, a memory that no one can take away from you anymore. Thanks for sharing! Greets from Lisbon, Portugal, Frank

[@AllAboutSpray]

That’s wonderful, I’m grateful for my parents to exposing me to the ocean young. Happy sailing !

[@sjeffreyw]

You should be really grateful to have Dad along.

[@AllAboutSpray]

So grateful!! I’ve learned so much from him

[@mattgordon9179]

Great team work and chilled out respect for each other

[@krisnace]

What a beautiful place to live, I would have a hard time leaving there, beautiful, peaceful serene what else can you say. They are very blessed to have a home with land like that. Praying your recovery is expedited and without any possible complications. Stay safe and God bless

[@imar758]

Thank you and as already have been said, very good editing with no music, only natural sound as it was. Than you and all the best to your dad.

[@jreedc]

What a fantastic video, thank you for sharing your passage! I learned a ton.

[@kimberly1567]

What a great vid you've made. Loved it. I will def follow your race to Alaska. Was fun seeing the relationship you and your dad share

[@truestory923]

By far, the very best sailing video out there!!! I watched your AMAZING adventure before bed last night and was dreaming sailing until morning. Yes, with MANY questions in my mind about your voyage. I'm not sure if you realize just how many people, like myself, yearn to do this..., but life doesn't always grant us all of our hopes. I grew up on the water in Victoria and sailed on and off, but now I'm limited to watching on KZbin. You're one spunky lady with an awesome Dad. You've inspired me to continue to look for someone to help me continue to learn and one day maybe live aboard. My dream. Thank you

[@jimscheltens2647]

Very nice. Really enjoyed seeing this. Thanks.

[@redislandar]

Amazing video showing true comradarie between father and daughter. Very touching! As well, you have a natural demeanor for videography and telling your story without pretense. I really like the way you interact with the camera...and, subsequently, with the viewer. Very photogenic...

[@AllAboutSpray]

Thank you for the kind feedback! I appreciate it!

[@RoamAboutOutdoors]

Really awesome job Kayleen! You're such an inspiration to all women out there. Looking forward to your next journey...

[@AllAboutSpray]

Thank you, I appreciate it! I’m looking forward to sharing more about the race to Alaska!

[@TurnOffYourTV]

A Fantastic Watch. Monster Adventure.

[@notwhatiwasraised2b]

Delightful. The joy of harnessing the wind is well expressed in your smile at the pulpit

[@ABoatNamedCrazy]

Straight up sailing. Love this style of video. Puts you in the boat.

[@dwightmarshallphoto]

That was great. Thanks for taking us along.

[@markribkoff]

Great teamwork!!! Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@reinhardweise9755]

[@steveparsons6324]

The Straits of Juan de Puke-a is my wife’s recollection. I’ve never seen her that seasick. Wonderful video, thank you for sharing!

[@jackmarks2176]

Just found your channel, what a great voyage and to make it with your dad is pretty cool.

[@sailingsitka]

Very well done episode 👏🏻 You should be so proud!!!!!

[@colinboniface194]

What a great passage. It had it all... So good to journey with you two. Thanks for the ride...What's better, no ego's to get in the way... Perfect...

Thank you! Looking forward to posting more about the upcoming race !:)

That was raw and amazing. I would love to see more about your route and the prior planning. Thanks , for a great video from fellow British Columbian.

[@eleutheros]

That was really well done! I appreciate a video with clean language 👍🏻. Blessings from Nova Scotia.

[@greghall14]

An awesome video and what a wonderful way to make forever memories for you and your dad.

[@stackingsmiles1372]

Amazing thanks for showing us what it’s like going north !

[@HolyGrailSailing]

This was a GREAT film. Real sailing and real emotion. I wonder if I'd ever have the guts to do a 44-day passage? It seems like you got the best crew ever.

[@suepeck2772]

Fantastic video! Really enjoyed watching it! You are such an accomplished sailor! Can't wait to see how you do in the R2K!

[@AllAboutSpray]

Thank you so much sue. I always appreciate your support!

amazing trip! congratulations to the two of you! WOW what a great experience

[@daveyoung3880]

Excellent video and an awesome trip to put in the memories ❤

[@patrickfitzoot]

Nice video. Good solution for the shroud doubling, if you had a dyneema line on board that would make a better temporary shroud as it stretches less. Fwiw swaged fittings do that sometimes, it is definitely a drawback, I would definitely be on the riggers case though, 1 year is ridiculous. Thanks for helping me decide...my next re rig is going to be dyneema, except for the fore and back stays.

[@AllAboutSpray]

Yes I was really wishing I had a longer dyneema line with us. The dyneema I had was a bit too short! If I do another long passage I would definitely get a piece that’s as long as our longest stay/shroud. Riggers stood by their work and replaced the shroud no problem.

[@cutaway7405]

To your Father Kaylene and sorry if I mistakingly deleted my comment and his Reply to my comment!: You must be Very Proud of Kaylene! You guys have taught her well on all fronts! Nice to see you're very much still in the game, that clipper ship route is not for the faint of heart! We're on our way home and considered the clipper ship route, but opted out thinking 30-40 days might be a tad much when a 3 day passage is so exhausting!😂......We could use that southerly blow today!

[@AllAboutSpray]

It was a mission! It took longer than we had hoped for too.

[@cutaway7405]

@@AllAboutSpray Thank God you made it safely and yet with more experience under your belt➡️ win win!!.....You are such a kind soul Kaylene yet with strength and resolve to meet any challenge that comes your way.....We hold much admiration for you!!🌟♥️

Such a wonderful little film. Very real and so engaging. Thank you so much for sharing your great adventure. I really loved watching.

[@jimmerrill5471]

You two are so awesome hope you have a heavy weather plan.drogue, sea anchor, heaving too etc. Worth some pre thought.😊

Excellent. I spent a lot of time sailing with my daughter too.

Nicely done. Straight forward, simple and real. Happy Sailing. from Opua, NZ

[@artdecco8617]

I used to work on Tartan 42/s at Tartan Marine, in Grand River, Ohio - 1972/73.....making the teak toe rails. And sailed with the company president on Lake Erie. NICE boat and video!

[@sdcofer52]

That was a really good video. I've done a lot of passages in the Pacific and Atlantic/Carib and you really captured what it is like. Nice job.

[@AllAboutSpray]

Thank you!

[@markbuskens6070]

Great job I think on the spectra line to backup the weak shroud!!I was impressed when your dad ask you about the routing and you said run it through the bottom👍That’s how I would have done it,if you would have ran through the top it would have pulled the turnbuckle back towards the winch and got slack when released.

[@larry4debbi]

Great 🎉🎉. Video

[@smaarch1]

Awesome video about real sailing. You are a a true sailor. With a little bit of luck, I'll be sailing the NE coast this summer with my daughter who is about your age. Thanks very much.

Been looking for a Mexico to Canada video for a long time, thank you. Most are going the other way.

[@AllAboutSpray]

Downwind sure is a lot easier! Thanks for watching:)

[@sailingaribel]

Kayleen! Been SO looking forward to watching this and loved your “raw and real” sharing of it. So many of us wonder what it will be like so I absolutely loved what you shared - both the highs and lows! I’m wondering… after having done this crossing and the Hawaii crossing years back, do you prefer coastal (like the Mexico trip) or out in the big blue? Think you’ll do it again one day after R2K?? Huge congrats again on such an awesome accomplishment! 😎⛵️

[@AllAboutSpray]

That’s a hard question! I seem to be drawn to these big ocean trips and do really love the challenges they bring, but the coastal trips are less anxiety inducing!

[@Blueybob]

Well done both.

[@dennishively5994]

What a awesome video, thank you for sharing this experience

[@DavidSmith-fj6fx]

Great video! Thank you so much for posting it. I'm interested in hearing a follow up on your rigging problem.

[@lenwhatever4187]

Cool, another Canadian. We are just south at Comox Harbour, you've been added to my list along with Magic Carpet, Finding Simon, Sailorama and others. There are so many people who go from BC to Mexico but so few that go the other way, Emerald Steel seems to like to make a circuit starting in California and going to Hawaii then up to the Georgia Strait and back. I will be happy if we make it around Van Isle.... probably the same direction as the vanisle360 but not as part of it as we are a couple feet too short.... and racing is not our thing anyway.

[@Sky92651]

Watched the whole trip. Congratulations
