ALONE AT SEA for TWO FULL WEEKS so far! (North Atlantic Crossing) | EE 126

[@gordygroover]

The time commitment for filming and editing is nuts for the two of you.. Its also appreciated.

[@mikeadams3292]

Starlink has improved your videos

[@GaryCausey-z3v]

Regardless as to the ease of publishing via Starlink or multiple venues, you two have given so much of your time to better our appreciation of the sea. Please keep going forward it is our learning and entertainment many of us have cruised the same lats and longitude’s, now too old to hoist the sails , clean bilges, and fight for sunrise thru the “dog “ watches. Love you guys, keep sailing and enjoy the “Southern Cross” … fair winds, favorable seas. Captain Clay S/V Moonshadow, 45’ Nelson Merrick .

[@danfadden]

I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say I look forward to these videos everyday. Not only is it a small escape from my reality for a little while, the vlog style makes us feel like we are there with you. No fast edits. Just a day in the life of cruisers. Thank you for the hard work I know it takes getting these out everyday!

[@pyrocl0]

Agreed! I like cars and drag racing. And a few other channels do this during race week. Where you have to go track to track and keep the car running. And it's the same way as this. Every day, you wait for the new video.

I am so glad Ayanna will be here for a while. She is so much fun to watch. Jade, I am inspired by your drive to do things yourself. Never let people’s comments take that away. You have an awesome husband who wants to see you shine. Thank you for sharing part of your lives with us.

[@vernebrown4441]

It's good that Jade wants to learn and do things. As to fully expecting Brit to do it all, forbit he gets hurt without knowing what to do both could be in trouble, so VERY good she knows the lines.

[@grabasalad5945]

For me if everyone knows how to operate the vessel singlehanded then it takes the pressure off everyone and allows all to be fully engaged and the maximum out or it. Bret being a pilot will be used to having a copilot and so sharing that load and responsibility so will be a great mentor for both soft skills and practical skills. It seems to me that a good boat’s systems should all be completely operable by everyone the skipper wants to survive onboard… No manual windless if only one person has the strength to raise the anchor as an example.

[@grabasalad5945]

“If he were more of a man then I wouldn’t have to do anything…” I had to pause the video at this point , 35:18, and comment. I suppose this all depends on what your definition of being a man is. The man I’m trying to be is one that is supportive, generous , hard working when i need to be and calm and relaxed when I don’t. I want to see those around me grow as individuals to be who God wants them to be not what anyone else thinks they should be. Some will want to be independent some will want to be dependant and all the shades in between, that’s their choice and they are free to change their mind as often as they want. It is very easy to judge others by what we have decided for ourselves or by what we believe to be right in fact we have little other options when it comes to judging people. Perhaps that is why the bible says ‘Judgment is mine, said the lord’ or similar. Perhaps we would do better if we stopped judging and used that time to celebrate each persons individuality, strengths and weaknesses. Back to the comment. If we wrap someone up in cotton wool, we do everything for them so they don’t have to , then we diminish them by depriving them of accomplishment. We harm the one we try to protect. Most folk doing this will do it through love for that person but some will do it so they can hold against them. What I see, without judgement, is three glorious people, growing together as well as individually and sharing with us. Let’s take this as the blessing it is…

[@mikebecker2386]

I was at sea with the US Navy for four years. For all that time I had the 4 to 8 deck watch. Both morning and evening. That was back in 1966 /69. Listening to you express how beautiful the sun rises and sets are brought back memories of that time, and tears to my eyes.

[@wally1146]

Same here, US Navy 1994-1968 Standing Generator watch in engine room. South China Sea. Love the videos! What a Wonderful Crew .......

[@tomriley5790]

Sunrise at sea can be truly beautiful!

[@yotto486]

Known as the graveyard watch

[@allenshepherd5225]

I'm so impressed with the real time updates! Great job team. Big fan of Evans and the Aiana-sphere

[@kenshores9900]

Things in the US are expensive. Fuel is even more expensive in Europe than the US. Is it a question of killer whales competing to get through a narrow area?

[@waynekoepke8128]

i have crossed the Atlantic ocean three times never seen it that calm for that long glad it is for your crossing good luck be safe

[@jenspetersimonsen4235]

4 2 full weeks you have been the most amazing goofballs imaginable. Have been smiling from ear to ear through all uploads ;-)

[@evilmindedsquirrel]

I love y'all's chemistry! It's always great to watch an update from y'alls journey!

[@sailing1stwatch]

Congratulations on 2 weeks of an amazing passage!!🎉🎉🎉

[@haydonditchburn2194]

I'm approaching the stage where I leave this world, but one thing's for sure, when I come back I'm getting me a nice comfortable 53ft boat, 2 dogs & a couple of eye candy ladies, dial up some good weather (a bit more than you guys are getting though) & head out into the open sea again. After watching you guys, I'm convinced that I've done it all wrong so far..!! 🤪

[@sockeyevoyages8840]

Thank you for keeping your momentum of sharing your experience with us. We REALLY appreciate it.

[@socalrvrbum]

I'm gonna have some serious withdrawals when you finish this crossing...Absolutely loving the daily updates

[@arottie4097]

same!

[@rackemyt9999]

Best Atlantic crossing series I've seen so far. The videos are fun, real, and the food looks too good for a sailing crossing! Enjoy!!!

[@walterhunter4011]

Please don’t be ashamed of your talents. Your painting was so good! Also your videos are good and waiting for the next ones.

[@DanFerrantelli]

This may be my favorite passage video so far. I loved the question answer part as it cleared up so much I had been wondering about. I had been wondering about Aiyana’s status but felt maybe she wasn’t ready to talk publicly yet. She seems to be a free spirit and wonderful person much like Jade so I suspect Brett needs to keep them grounded a bit so Eva doesn’t launch into neverland. Great crew! Great passage! Great videos! I’m glad Aiyana will be staying on into the Fall.

[@bigdadgo]

Your drone shots are incredibly gorgeous! Well edited video. I know that takes a lot of time but you all are doing great!

[@JC-zy4oz]

I’ll miss these daily videos. Thanks for doing them. I’ve enjoyed them all. ❤

[@flatspin99]

I loved your Q&A. BTW, real love is seeing your SO do amazing things and grow. I love it that your relationship is built around adventure and growth for both of you.

[@65MK]

Aiyana is going to have guys lined up after this series with boats and horses, etc…. Trying to impress her. Love the videos. Y’all stay safe! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ExposingReflections]

Everyone on board should be able to take over completely, including repairs, in case there is an illness or injury, as can easily happen, when miles from nowhere. In an instant, things can go from great to horrific. Prepreation includes being ready for anyone to fix anything, enough to ensure survival. Good job Jade. Keep pushing your boundaries. Crew, your presentations to us are interesting, funny, inspiring, informative, creative and so far beyond enjoyable that you wouldn't believe. Many thousand thanks. The question period had me smiling from the start to the finish. Im glad you'll all be together for some time. You're all an amazing team. Thank you all, so much.

[@imgoodru2840]

LUV.....your painting of Ianna.(sp? Sorry) magnificent. I too WAS an artist. You don't want to lose your skill.. I know for me the fear of "its not good enough ". Held me back. To ALL 3 OF U. PLEASE TAKE & HEED.... You are beautiful and young. Watching you 3 these past 13 days... you smile ... you laugh so much. You choose joy. Thank you. I know I will feel sad not being able to watch you every day as you have lifted my spirits. Thank you

[@tamelataylor7384]

Breathtaking views, thank you. Glad the drone is back out!

[@jsgsfnm]

So happy for another video!! Thank you!!

[@lillyrose3545]

Brett does such a good job with the drone shots! I imagine it must scratch any itch to be back in the air. The shots are absolutely breathtaking! I loved the the transition into of Jade saying it was a good day to sail over the beginning of the drone footage with the music was really nice, guys! The shots of Eva from the air on the great big sea took my breath away for the 2nd time. ❤

[@SirCarlosMusicBMI]

I really can’t believe that it’s been 2 weeks now 😮. I so look forward to watching your daily videos and routines. I absolutely love the question and answer segments. I’m so happy that everything is going well with this trip. Would love to see and hear Brett play that guitar 🎸. Do you ever worry about pirates 🏴‍☠️? Blessings, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸

[@rongendreau6029]

You all created the best KZbin videos and thanks for all you share. love being able to track you on your trip across.

[@mikekametz]

Excited to see Jade's mural of the boat's logo/flag at the port in Horta!

[@giles-df9yu]

That's going to take a while. 😁😁

[@arottie4097]

Same Same!

[@SeizeTomorrowToday]

Jade gets fancy eggs Benedict and aiyana gets canned fruit 🤣

[@NateWheeler1]

Ya'll are killing it. Good Q&A today. Thanks for bringing us all along!

[@jonathanscott550]

Thanks for your honest answering about getting along . Have a great sail see you tomorrow

[@virginiachase6008]

Your dogos are sooo happy and they love you two so much. And Jade you are an angel on earth. So talented, beautiful, and industrious. Brett is also such a great man...

[@pimmpdaddyquill]

I really love you videos thank you so much

[@charliebrown8278]

Oh man! Where do I start? Watching these videos is just so inspiring and relaxing. It’s like having you in my living room and chatting with you. Aiyana is such a spirit. And all of you are such warm, fun, hard working, and talented people! Just as La Vagabond inspired you, I know that you are inspiring many. Love, love, LOVE this series!!!

[@soundsofnature8198]

Will you PLEASE ask Aiyana to stay longer? I've always been a fan. Aiyana has brought a new side out of Jade and Brett that is refreshing

[@80884bpresley]

Awesome video guys!!! Great drone shots of the boat. See y'all tomorrow.

[@pauli7457]

Thank you! 🐬🐙🌅🦞🌊

[@timholt2446]

The three of you make for a wonderful episode !! I had a smile the entire time.

[@hudsoncrabappleyohandri8307]

Oh yessss here we go !!!

[@tomleiner193]

I've been wanting to do this so bad! Love how adventurous you all are and loving the videos! Keep up the exploration and stay safe out there when underway :)

[@johnneal9142]

Alyana is such a sweetheart, the world would be so much better with more women like her. God Bless all of you.

[@danstevens5782]

Great show. Sure looks like fun. Stay Safe & Have Fun !

[@sir.malcolm.copson]

Love you guys... you are so in the moment, which is how it should be. Thank you for sharing this adventure.

[@geoffstrebel2808]

@6:45 I heard some boat repairs right then! :) Thanks for the vid! See you guys out there soon!

[@teddyhomerun]

I am living vicariously through you guys. This is great!

[@williamhalling7744]

Another awesome video. Ya'll be safe. Wow what a weather window. NICE!

[@kathyshea6698]

your dogs get more play time and attention than most dogs who have an acre. you are outstanding pet parents! don't let ANYONE make you feel less than!!!

[@virginiachase6008]

Your videos are just wonderful , love watching each day and you two girls antics...so fun.

[@johnboy3216]

You guys are a wonderful and refreshing part of life! Awesome voyage and companionship!

[@wcgolfpro]

Love the puppy picture with Penny hugging Dingo!! PENNY AND DINGO SHOW!!! 😂😂😂 unbelievable weather for your crossing lucky you!!❤❤❤

[@keithbotelho9189]

Love that I can go to predict wind and see where you guys are keep up the great work and enjoy yourself .

[@LarryJames-v2v]

Just in case this old saying hasn’t already been posted “ sailing is interminable boredom interspersed with moments of stark terror.” While I’m at it “ sailing is as much fun as standing in an ice cold shower tearing up thousand dollar bills.” That said, if I weren’t older than dirt I’d still have a boat and I’d be sailing what’s left of my wheels off. Love your channel. Thank you for posting pretty darn close to real time. It makes insomnia worthwhile. Larry

[@joshdobbins9333]

What a lucky guy!!

[@stevenwarner9581]

I have really enjoyed following this passage , tracking your progress and you all bringing the journey to life , I did the crossing in 1980 when there was virtually no communications and its incredible to be able to watch it "live"

[@dansegelov305]

This has been the best documented ocean crossing of any channel on KZbin. I'm loving watching all five of you and how well you are living and working together. Aiyana is a great addition to the crew of the boat and the cast of your videos, so I'm pleased to hear that she'll be sticking around for a while once you arrive in Europe. PS. Let me know if there is an official application process for the position of 'European Lover.'

[@Beachwriter]

Appreciate the commitment. Hope you smash 400K.

[@morriscorreia7282]

You guys rock

[@markjackson8550]

You guys have got me , it is so good to see you guys so relaxed and love your new crew cheers

[@michaelbacon55]

I’ve been watching since you bought the boat and I love this new video style. I feel like I’m there with you. 😊

[@tunatyme720]

You all have too much fun 😂🎉💯🇺🇲 absolutely love it, sail on and as always MUCH LOVE 💘 Ianna 💘 😻 💜 💛 💚 🧡

[@toddlipe3006]

Thank you allowing me to experience a dream of mine through these wonderful vlogs! Go for it. I look forward to each day seeing what is happening. Jade, you really are talented as an artist and I did enjoy the brief cello.... You all are gifted people.

[@rhondahancher9379]

Love watching your daily videos! My husband and I are forever fans! Thank you for sharing! Love your dogs too! ❤😎

[@chrisholm8030]

my father was an underwater demolition swimmer in WWII, and he did a lot of small boat operations in the pacific. He taught me that same knot 60 years ago, when I was about 10, and I can still tie it in a flash. Not technically a bowline but it works just as well, and you can tie it so fast.

[@sharilynunthank6874]

Loved the drone shots. Really gives perspective of the boat size, people size and the immense-ness of the ocean. Also loved the Q and A. Answered many questions i had. Keep up the great work!

[@Loyal-ey2eq]

Sailing Doodles is selling a really great sailboat boat, all set up, I believe he just finished sailing around the Mediterranean too! Really enjoying your crossing, wish I had time to catch up with more videos, but I’ll get there!

[@leekyle7237]

JUST LOVIN THESE VLOGS SINCE THE BEGINNING FROM REBUILD UNTIL KNOW HAS BEEN AMAZING BUT HAVE TO SAY WATCH THE THREE OF YOU YOUR SO RELAXED AND ENJOYING YOURSELFS HAVING FUN GREAT GUYS

[@johnwright6403]

Love this!

[@jensjacobfoged9147]

I have followed you from week 2 after your got Eva. To be honest, it was channels likes yours that got me thru the Covid crisis. That anyone could have anything bad to say is incredible. You guys are awesome.

[@jeffreyhaverkos7906]

[@easysport11]

[@brianrogers7543]

Really enjoyed this vid because by your answering the viewers questions as you have gave me more insight to who you all are individually and personally and it felt as though I got to know you more intimately, Which as a long time follower of your channel it made me feel connected to ya as well. I admire you guys very much for your adventurous and courageous natures and your beautiful crew lady Ayanna, seems exactly the same! 🙏

[@TheMorten1181]

Breakfast and an episode... fantastic start to the day....😊

[@abrahamhdz]

Cool videos... Luv geeking out on them.

[@edwardstarrett5545]

I've been working on getting into a position to buy my 1st SV. Never considered a north Atlantic crossing. At all. I am fully inspired now. The conditions you've had has blown me away.

[@AnnaleeD]

Thanks again!!!

[@willmills1388]

A great informative post about sailing and personalities. Spirit animal is also a favorite of mine!!!!😊

[@ptakvm]

Jade, that leg shot is perfection !

[@immabeast78]

Loved the qna excited to keep seeing the rest of your vlogs

[@CalmWatersLiving]

I love your channel. Thank you! In so many ways I vicariously live through your commitment. Over all would you say your living a Calm Waters Living experience?

[@johnhoward764]

I must have missed the early episode in which you outlined your around-the-world route. Q&A: Could you please tell us in a few words which way you plan to complete your circumnavigation from the Azores? Sail down the west coast of Africa?, Traverse the Cape of Good Hope west to east?, sail {north?/south?} of Australia, round the Horn west to east?, sail up the east coast of South America?, and then north through the Caribbean and home? I have been following the exciting adventures of the Evans family (Brett, Jade, Dingo and Penny) for many weeks now ever since I discovered your channel when you were spending such long hours and showing amazing energy and passion restoring your new home before leaving on the adventure of a lifetime. I am 84 yo now and living in the Gold Coast Australia, so I have nothing but admiration for the dedication and energy you show in pursuing your new lifestyle. I look forward to your future videos with great anticipation and wish you all a safe trip home. At my age ones mobility and energy is greatly reduced, so I am particularly grateful that you have allowed me to share your life doing exciting things that I now appreciate are so important, but that I can no longer undertake personally. I am particularly enjoying the comradery that you both enjoy with Aiyana. So safe sailing and best wishes from Australlia.

[@aldrindelacruz6198]

You're getting better and better with your journey, The sea is amazing, the weather is so good and your video background matches the calmness of your voyage, amazingly perfect, i usually watch a sailing video that travels North Pacific and they are not the same as you are, so nice to see calm waves, it can encourage other people to travel like you does, and everyone really come very handy specially Ayana she works fast, think fast and very cheerfull crew, and jade and Brent are very accommodating couple, no harsh just very cool people, a perfect trio❤ And i heard ayana's planning to have a boat and looking forward to have a channel iam gonna wait for that so that i can watch her most of the time like i've been watching u..

[@cathrynmcpartland1752]

I am so jealous of your crossing. Technology, weather, laundry, good friends, DOGS. 👍 The best weather forecasts during my crossings were by weather fax and navigating included plotting sheets. You will have a long line of volunteers for your next passage. Eva has good luck crossings.

[@2Moza]

Never Look Back at what might have been Just go forward with new Dreams what ever they are in Life. Great Vlog Guys.

[@robertmurray1614]

Great video. Love you guys

Dingo and Penny are pretty amazing furrkids they do so good on the boat you can tell they are living their best lives

[@allenrittman5853]

That life might not be for everybody every day. But that is living life to its fullest! Great crossing videos!!

[@RichWork]

The drone shots were stunning! SO beautiful!!

[@philvale5724]

Hi 👋, I can not believe how calm the ocean 🌊 is, it’s a pity that you cannot set up a telescope and watch the stars at night as you have no light pollution, but still, it must be very romantic to lay on the deck, looking up at the stars, sharing your food, and a glass of wine, not too much, I look 👀 forward to seeing and listening to your next stage of voyage, stay safe, Phil from the moulin France

[@thewoz1234]

I just freaking love you guys.

[@dougfaulkner6799]

My favorite night at sea was 150 miles offshore in the gulf of mexico, looking up at the Hale- Bopp comet while speaking to my dad on the sat phone, while he was looking at it from a mountaintop in Montana. Priceless.

[@DelventhalJohn-ct2ts]

Love you all ❤

[@brandonburchfield8221]
