Lucky Man! Travis is well fed with good food by Steph! Steph got some serious cooking skills.

[@SailingJibsea]

thank ya! 👩🏻‍🍳

[@mkolesnik]

amazing - a cooking show in the middle of the Atlantic. Great job Steph!

[@bradshawtx]

Someone may have told y'all that is bonito not a tuna. I thought the same thing until someone told me. A good identifier is their side fin. Love your channel, keep up the good work.

[@reloadncharge9907]

Buy a siphon fitting with 1/2” hose, and no more spills. Glad you are cooking again….it differentiates your channel from the dozens and dozens of others cramming KZbin now. Thx, Andrew

[@happygarden7111]

Steph and Travis, I’ve been watching sailing on KZbin for 8 years as well as being a sailor in my local lakes/coastal areas for most of my life. Your channel is one of the best sailing channels on YT. For me, it’s hands down my #1 favorite for sailing! Keep up the great work. I look forward to each of your videos. Fair winds and following seas!

[@margaretyeung1833]

Great video, You guys really brings out the best of sailing & life. Do what you can & when you can,, the rest of the good stuff will follows. Warm shower👍, tuna👍yummy pasta👍cookie dough👍good wind🙏🙏🙏

[@kenburkimsher1356]

Really “winging-it” now!

[@johnw3638]

Great video. You put us right there with you. Travis is excellent explaining what's going on, We're almost there!

[@lloydbrown9327]

Glad to see you made it to Ireland 🇮🇪 Way to go! I made it home from Sept Illes, Quebec...Fogo Island, Newfoundland. 14 days sailing. But it was chilly! I would spend the winter in the Mediterranean, at least it wouldn't be as cold there! Take care and safe travels!

[@SailingJibsea]

Congrats!! And thank you!

[@personalbest849]

Rigging the preventer to the middle of the boom can result in the boom snapping. For example... gust or wind shift comes in, boat rounds up or broaches and the boom contacts the water. Water forces the end of the boom backwards (due to forward motion of boat) and the boom breaks at the point where you have connected the preventer. Preventer should run from end of boom to the bow and preferably back to the cock pit. Hope this tips helps. Good luck.

[@SailingJibsea]

That makes sense, thanks!

[@edwardteach2625]

You two are pretty cool. I'm going to go back and watch your catalog! 🌈🌷

[@HopeOfJoe]

Almost there 🎉🎉🎉 love the enclosure. Nice episode guys ‼️ 👍 ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝 👙 🌞 ✨

[@itsmePassportBro]

Welcome to the cold Mediterranean

[@malcolmwhite821]

Living the Dream. Congrats and safe sailing

[@J-C377]

Lookup shaker siphons and get one for diesel, one for water and one for gasoline. Work great and no spills.

[@BohemianBeatster]

Another groovy episode. By and far everything seems to be going pretty well for you two. You always seem to take most things in stride and of course, the food looks yummy. Stay groovy and stay safe.

[@RichardRoger1966]

Good to see the swelling coming down ...

[@michaelsleater5865]

Love following your channel you two! I've been hooked since the beginning, Imo it's one of the best sailing channels on KZbin.

[@Tim8mit]

you were saying there was a sulfur smell in the air...probably from volcanic activity over the mid Atlantic trench

[@klouism1]

Thank you for the video. All in all your trip is going pretty well no major mishaps or problems that's good. Stay well and happy.

[@infectionSincross]

as an asian. without rice. icant survived. even me going to other countries eating like 5 burgeers or shawarmas i still go to restaurants with rice. its really weird seeing western eating just pastas and survived. even here at home i go pasta with rice sometimes hahaha. nice video as always

[@dgasmd1]

Loving the frequent videos during the crossing. Curiosity question, but why not the "more usual route" of Caribbean to Bermuda to Azores??? Did not look at weather systems and such, but just wanting to hear your logic. Sorry if it was explained elsewhere.

[@larrymills4223]

Did you guys get bored on the crossing? Great Video. What would you change on the boat now that you have crossed the Atlantic?

[@chrisruthford4492]

You're not a real sailor until you've crossed an ocean. You two stay safe.

[@Daithi354]

Guys, love the vids. Can you please do something on the storage space in the boat, e.g. Cupboards, bilge, lockers etc. Really hard to get info on this for a hunter 42

[@SailingJibsea]

Please see our boat tour episode for more details!

[@Happymoonnn]

💯💫

[@ssnobrakesable]

Turn around before it's too late !

[@jeremyduncan3654]

❤️❤️

[@injahnet]

No buddy boats around?

[@billskelton3701]

1st comment, my lucky day!!! Nice video.

[@thatguy2408]

Well, it’s Travis’ turn for the, “no. No. NO.” Putting the spatula in your mouth then using same spatula to move it to the container for storage. The cook in me sees that on almost the same level of pointing a flare gun at your face. No, just no. Lots of bacteria in the mouth. Could easily compromise the storage life. Not like it will last long anyways as it appears as if Travis is all about that creation. But still. Just no. That’s a boot from my kitchen, in perpitude. Worked in kitchens before becoming an accountant. And seeing him do that was like nails across the chalkboard.

[@SailingJibsea]

Lmao! The transference from the utensils is a big thing for me! (Steph) 😝 so he def knows but that cookie dough doesn’t last long enough so we let it slide hahaha

[@thatguy2408]
