Charging HARD & FAST in WILD WEATHER [EP 156]

[@user-retsailor]

I'm an American but, it is absolutely lovely watching you sail in the 28 knots of wind; I have a smile on my face while watching, hoping and wishing a good sail for you and wishing I was there to experience it first hand. Bravo to Adam and Khiara !

[@woodwork5574]

Watching you young adventurous sailors gives me hope for mankind.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Haha, thank you 😁 that is a lovely compliment!

[@Early8Q]

Millie rocks at 80%. You need to be more like Millie and slow down to 80% and together the world will be yours! Love your enthusiasm regardless!

[@murrayelliott6828]

Young lady, you are such a great example to the rest of the lady vloggers, that to make a video enjoyable, sad and miserable does not entertain. You, on the other hand are an asset.

[@wesleyclark2032]

Thank you for continuing to provide great videos with a perfect mix of sailing, destination and educational content.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

You’re very welcome! Thank you for watching ☺️

[@martinbowskill5511]

Just to say guys a brilliant video that's it bloody enjoy Espanola porfavor safe passages cheers n beers Marty Australia

[@paulklebaum1682]

If only I was 30 years younger,I would make Adam work to keep the lovely Khiara !! Lol Love following your adventures !!

[@barbaralienhard3490]

Thanks for the great video. We love being along for the ride. Enjoy the Canaries. Safe travels. ❤️❤️

[@jgsailingpast60]

Ease of reefing and shaking them out remains one of the things I love best about a Junk Rigged boat

[@budsvjourney2919]

Excellent passage.......thank you for sharing the adventure

[@sailingsomeday5975]

Milly wanted to show you that those Med boats have nothing on her🤣 cheers you two make me smile with every video!

[@MartialLoreNZ]

It's very exciting to see Millie under way like that! You must both be feeling pretty confident about sailing in blue water compared to just six months ago.

[@jpdj2715]

Wow, you made 17 minutes and 44 seconds of plain but serious sailing so attractive that you kept me watching.

[@billstuart8481]

Enjoyed watching her reach, thanks for the entertainment.

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

Sounds like new winches are on the list..... Looked like an awesome sail!

[@petekane4323]

"Millie on a Mission" I loved Khiara's comment: "Crackin' sunset (or sunrise?) on the way in

[@catspaw3815]

A grumpy Captain makes Milly a happy boat. Stuff gets done right. Juicy run, guys!

[@goulash75]

"Oh no, I can't even have a hot shower..." Sailing really seems to be able to strip away anything in life that is not important to leave you really KNOWING what the essentials in life are! Congrats on another successful passage guys.

[@douglasmartin2472]

love your videos, youve got a true gem in Khiara, after 5 days 23 hours of non stop squalls and wind she's happy with a "pot bath" and a pizza! Keep us smiling as you enjoy the sailing life!

[@sfs122450]

You two make me think of Lin and Larry. ❤

[@billyclabough9835]

I am happy to see you wearing safety harnesses.

[@AlisonAZ]

What a fine sail . . . it was much easier from my computer. Nicely filmed. Your boat is doing very well.

[@perryburgess2894]

Congratulations! I truly enjoy watching your accomplishments

[@thomastaylor6991]

Grand boat,good passage, great crew.

[@rickplavidal1112]

We stopped by in our dinghy to say hi today, and to say that we enjoy your videos. Look forward to following your adventure and hopefully bumping into you again. We are on MeiHua, an Allures 45.9 with a distinctive “pink” arch over the transom. ❤️

[@MikeLoveBuns]

Enjoy sailing ⛵️ sailboat video hard and fast sailing ⛵️! 😘🎅🏼⛵️⛵️😀 Mike from Missouri

[@nonaparker564]

Absolutely wonderful sailing ! You two are amazing !!

[@BillChild2njoy]

Really enjoyed coming along with you on this passage as they all have been worth the watch.. Anyone who didn't like those sunsets and sunrises should have their eyes checked as you'd say, " Straight away" or "Bloody what's up with your eyes???" Like your reflections on things like 6 days with half the sky always canvas and then just poles ... or seeing the bottom as such a novelty. Thanks for it ALL.. and I hope you both have ample time to rest.

[@akjhome]

Loved the under sail footage in this episode.

[@HeyMichaelLeo]

I think you two would make amazing parents

[@sailinggreenpearl2571]

Noooooooo

[@andytaylor97]

Another superb ep.. I love Khiara’s calling ‘shotgun’ on not going below to make the pizza!!! Hilarious… glad the trip went well and was uneventful. Enjoy Lanzagrotty!!

[@danielpolo365]

Thanks for the update,great video

[@somadevo]

Great job in the frisky conditions. Milly handled it well too. Highest Blessings

[@jamieharris8075]

Very nice passage! congratulations.

[@davehayes8812]

That was fun. Thanks!

[@davidh3194]

Congratulations on the successful passage. You made m Monday. 💕

[@dale7436]

Your shots of the swells and the sounds of the water and the color of the ocean, she is beautiful. She has a temper at the off times and a real mean temper at the of times. times. She is beautiful as you said, the sunsets and sunrises and the whales and even the flying fish. I would get rid of my land yacht (motorcoach) and get a real boat again.

[@bobbates6642]

The video's are much better when you show sailing and then show the interesting things of where you end up. I liked this video and I found the place you had the camera showing the waves was very good as it seemed to show the size of the waves along with the speed of the boat

[@michaelbrown2778]

I'm glad u 2 had a good passage.

[@dougnorton5956]

That was a delightful video. Absolutely lovely to see Millie (and you two) giving it stick and doing what shes supposed to do. That was vicarious living, and should tide me over till I get onto my boat in a few short weeks. Thanks a Millie!!

[@donrumph1]

That was some very good sailing. Enjoy your shore time while working on whatever needs working on. That is the life of a salior.

[@billdunleavy4486]

Enjoy sailing with you,Bill S/V Kemo Sabay...

[@Leib33]

Congrats on making it in safely!

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@tomriley5790]

Lovely to see Millie sailing so well! Shame you missed Madiera - some lovely places to explore :-)! Still you can't stop everywhere! I'm seeing the advantage of easy reefing systems :-)! Still you're experiencing what Skip Novak said about not having electric winches to keep the crew fit :-) ! Love how in the old sailing days signs of being close to land were changes in the clouds and birds, now it's ships coming up on the AIS and chat on the radio :-)!

[@WMCC240654]

Great episode this week 👍

[@freedomrider30]

Sailing Vlog with no stress??? What the world you think your doing??? 😂🤣😂👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎

[@robertkowalski9906]

I got a great chuckle out of the foot actuated winch! Sort of surprised you don't have self tailers on a boat that size BUMBER! I have a 43 foot boat and think the smallest winch I have is a 48st something or other but I know for the primaries they're 62s (electric I'm older than you guys its allowed). But the reason I'm writing is I'm a single hander done quite a few long passages and don't like leaving the cockpit. On all my boats I rigged it up to reef from the cockpit, and seeing how yours is setup it only would take a check-block a low fraction ring and some dyneema. I'd be glad to send you a diagram on it, oh also its not my idea but hope the inventor is very rich from it !

[@peterfrebold]

.... so you were talking winches ... the one under the dodger seem to be missing the self tailing option ... will that be replaced with one of the main winches making it right skookum .... must say sure like your, cannot think what it is call so am going to call it a line lock, good and sturdy an UV will not deteriorate that baby .... am guessing it is safe to say that you had a blast and are still hooked on the sailing life .... you had some great shots of the ocean doing it's thing .... thanks for the peek into your adventure .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....

[@saillaw2]

Man, I just love what a big smile your videos put on my face. They remind me of me 30 years ago. Thanks for including us :)

[@BohemianBeatster]

I found this vlog smoothing. Perhaps because you were in tuff seas bouncing around like a cowboy on an angry bull, and I was watching it all on my big soft sofa. Stay groovy and stay safe.

[@NorthPoleTime]

We absolutely love the content you bring to KZbin. Thank you both!

[@flyinggybe2113]

No water heater? No problem! Just heat some water on the stove, pour it into a couple clean 1 liter water bottles, drill a few small holes in the caps, and you're good to go. I often do this for transom step showers underway. Works great sailing and camping!

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

That's actually a good idea! We were thinking of a solar heating bag (which we pour hot water from the stove into) but your option is a good cheap and cheerful way! 😁

[@Sallycycles71]

One of my favorite videos, always enjoy passage, thx to you two for your dedication to us dreamers, Cheers from Kansas.

[@Wedontwantnowarnomore]

Great job! Well done! Fantastic sailing ⛵️ calm weather all the way. Congrats 👏 🥳 🎉

[@sailsandtails3672]

Great sail. 👍

[@Matt-nj5ev]

Good to see you guys getting back to what you do best. Awesome job!

[@chaunceywilliams8405]

In with the reefs. Out with the reefs. I thought I was watching Dennis Conner. Love your channel. Love your boat. We used to say Tayana's were bullitt proof. She's built for a blow.

[@MrBobVick]

Almost Kraken that Falcon great sail, was there in 74 - sure it is the same today 😊

[@vrangarajan605]

Super !!!

[@PremierNZ-qb5zd]

Really enjoyed that, so refreshing to watch a proper ocean sailing video. Keep up the good work.

[@sailinggreenpearl2571]

Wow, awesome sailing, Charging!

[@ratukinijojiramasima8738]

Great sailing. Love your videos. Stay safe and take care. Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Love from FIJI 🇫🇯.

[@asw20]

Love your videos - great inspiration! We’ll be out there with you this time next year. Boat is on the hard this winter for a refit.

[@robertbeckett7829]

Being Captain means you need to way up all scenarios before you can relax 😌

[@danknox9986]

Well done. You guys were zooming. Good on you for the 80% thing. I wish I could do that. But do think seriously about upgrading a few winches. I was a happy camper when we had no more single speed non self tailing winches left.

[@ABobbyDee]

Great video today.

[@anthonybeck2384]

Love your work ……boat really honking along

[@MrJohnBos]

Well done - you all are my favorite sailing channel.

[@salnichols94805]

Use the “15 minute” rule. Don’t do sh+t for 15 minutes. If the conditions hold then do something. If they don’t, have a beer and wait 15 more minutes. Also, if you had built in some easting early on when it was lighter, it would have let you run off when it became squally.

[@garyfroeschner2523]

good stuff

[@RoyClare]

Fab-u-lous….. 💯🎉👌🏽⛵️👏🏽🥂

[@mikesawyer9209]

She hit her stride!

[@bradcraig10]

Thanks for another beautiful video!Your positivity charm keep me watching. Btw-im not too far from the company that helped you with the new outboard engine!

[@joeltatham5673]

Why didn’t you stop at Madeira? Have you been there before? Thanks for taking us on the sail!

[@rosserpace3602]

Cool

[@paultabone2010]

🦋🌈🌸💖 I hope you Both Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 and new year 🎉🎊 were ever you are in the world 🌍 ⛵️keep safe on your travels 💖🍷🍷🏄🏼🏄‍♂️💖🐬🦋

[@thefullmonte1902]

So Tuesday was leg day? :) Definitely a young man's sport - undersized winches sailing, that is.

[@nealeburgess6756]

Well done "Magnificent Millie"! 5 days 21 hours. Brilliant. Crew did OK too.

[@robertrioux7409]

You have a good lady; happy with a pot bath and a pizza!!

[@stevenwatterson3932]

A POT Bath, not heard that before.

[@ABT212]

Land ahoy!

[@jamieharris8075]

After sailing over 30 years in 25 to 30 knot winds in San Francisco my motto is simple - Reef early; reef often.

[@davep5788]

Sailing seems like a lot of work. My world cruiser will be fusion powered ... yup.

[@SVHummingbird2]

Nice job, and nothing critical broke! you must be getting close to fixing most things LOL. So what size are those winches?

[@Tomm9y]

Perhaps a self-tailing electric main halyard winch would be a good investment. Easier to use as manual winch and the electric is there should one of you fall overboard and need winching in again.

[@jameskelly5973]

Round up and depower

[@allornothing7957]

Slightly off topic but what brand are your rope clutches, they look nice and simple and I need new ones 😊

[@MCallsen]

♥

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

The lovely sunset might have something to do with the ongoing volcanic activity in that part of the world.

[@lPaulSaltzman]

Lead your sheet from the smaller winch to a larger. Then wind up the reef using two winches, and the larger being the one doing the work. Should make it a bit better for u..

[@DonaldGregg-xu1bp]

It’s like you just broke the Kessel run record. Five days, 21 hours.

[@johnburgess5534]

Down below, not down stairs!!

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

lol, but it's down a set of stairs...

[@lindajackson618]

I hope you stayed on watch much longer giving your dad time to sleep since you woke him up frequently? Just the proper thing to do. The body only gets so tired before bad things start happening. Blessings.

[@annafraley5388]

So, Them winches you have are for a 37’ boat Eh.?? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Are you thinking of changing them before hitting the Atlantic crossing? If so the Canaries would probably be better than Cape Verde 🇨🇻 would be for doing that.!! 😎👍✅

[@stephenmahoney9531]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@SailingEagleWings]

question concerning the windgen, at 25 kts wind you see it hardly move is that because of the video frames and irl it moves a lot?

[@californiakayaker]

It just struck me, Khiara , you look VERY Irish. Am I right ? Delos had an episode "On the Lean" in the Indian . Reminds me of that lean.

[@pitterpit9964]

Ah, make that 5 days n something :-)

[@gypsymanme]

The volcano on La Palma has been erupting the past 3 months. When were you in the Canaries?

[@michaellewis510]

I was wondering about your wind generator - it looked like it was only ticking over when you had over 25knts of wind. What charge is it producing in those conditions?
