CROSSING THE ATLANTIC OCEAN - LAND HO!! EP-134

[@williamsmurthwaite3154]

Fantastic. You had me crying after you'd been up the mast young lady. 🎉🎉🎉

Guys, we are honestly so proud of you both. We found your channel through these Atlantic Crossing videos, we watched the first two and decided that we would start from the beginning. We've watched all the way to this video and it's been so inspiring! We moved aboard our 30ft boat 2 months ago after spending a year fixing her up, neither of us has ever sailed before but we have been making our way along the south coast of England for the past few weeks, two days ago we had our toughest day yet with strong gusts and swell, everything went wrong! We lost our steering for a while, one of our shrouds came undone and a bunch of other stuff and we almost quit. But we now know from your videos that this is just a bump in the road. Thanks for this inspiration ❤🌞🌈🐬⛵🏅

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

Hey guys, ohh this is such a nice message to read, so special 🥰 thankyou!! And congratulations on taking the leap, it’s not easy but the experiences you’ll get to have will be worth it 😄 oh wow that does not sound fun or ideal and when you’re in those situations it’s easy to want to give it all up forever 😅 but usually that feeling doesn’t last too long. What’s your plans for your sailing? Will you make your way to the med? ☺️

[@helenalways]

@@LeadingtheEscapade We were hoping to get to the med this winter but we're worried about Schengen and how to navigate the 90 day rule but were stuck at the moment as our autopilot isn't working and it's looking like we need to install a new one 💸💸💸

[@gl2856]

Amazing you two are so much fun 😂love it 👍G

[@SomethingToday30]

Good job. Congrats

[@bobbyblizzard8488]

Great video, congrats!

[@brucerhodes8197]

Congrats! Glad the last few days were a bit less chaotic than the first 2/3 or your passage, allow you to arrive in Barbados in a better frame of mind, more excited than exhausted... Now it's time to really decompress, hope you are having a blast! I don't think I can qualify as a "regular" yet, but this is my 3rd video in a row now and I'm kinda looking forward to seeing what you 2 get up to in Barbados, so I'm taking your advice and working on it... lol

[@davederave134]

Absolutely delighted to see you two have made that epic journey safely, well deserved and well done for keeping us entertained and engaged with how you both are doing, lets look forward to your future adventures! Congratulations!!!

[@craiglewis6821]

[@sailingladyaquitaine]

Great video but omg, watched the last three episodes and wish I hadn't 🙈😂as we are crossing the other way right now, only a day out of Bermuda towards the Azores. Well done guys, it was tough going for you but you did it, now enjoy the Caribbean.

[@ceschias3733]

Gorgeous courageos queen mermaid, what a great job you did in the moment of need, what a jewel of a woman. Welcome to this side of the globe. Congrats to both of ya on your ocean crossing acomplishment. Enjoy, and hope that this side is one of your favorites. Love OosYolo, Antigua Guatemala.

[@johnroche6362]

Congrats on your effort & achievements. Proud of how you have grown as sailors & humans. 👏Your content just grows & grows. Be proud Oi oi oi

[@leehoffman3604]

Yes, good word, epic. I am still amazed that you climbed the mast in that rollie sea. Now, that was EPIC. Congrats on your safe journey.

[@Bill-482]

Congratulations guys from Perth

[@davidmutch5864]

Love it guys, well done!! You’ve absolutely smashed it! Jason seriously needs to upgrade his fishing skills though!

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

Thankyou 😆 hahahah!!! In his defense, he was using like $2 lures from the chinese shop cuz we ran out of time to get some before we left canaries 🤣 hahahah I’m never mad when he loses the fish I’m like yesss it lives to see another day 😂

[@durwinmccarty9097]

Another good video, love the editing! When you look back, you see how much the two of you have grown as sailors. True sailing stories to tell you family. Your video captured the feeling of seeing land after 15 days, as my wife and I experienced the same crossing, as you two. “Epic”, definitely, “seemed like yesterday”, from Jason, was on point too!! Hope to meet you guys in Grenada, Cheers!

[@jlmbradshaw3619]

Congratulations on your epic journey! Welcome to the Americas!

[@andytaylor97]

I am so delighted for you both - huge huge congratulations on a safe (albeit eventful) passage... Now rest and enjoy the wonders of what you have achieved.

[@cjambo75]

Two kids left Australia 2 years ago, and a very nice couple of adults arrived now in Barbados, it has obviously been the journey of your life. Enjoy what you have seen and lived but especially what nice people and couple you are now !!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@lcantin7090]

Congrats guys! I bet you're glad you reached your destination and enjoyed some land adventure! Quite an accomplishment.

[@martinbowskill5511]

Bloody hell man! gal your definately a keeper. To scale the mast at sea took guts well done cheers n beers Marty Australia

[@chrisbailey6986]

Congratulations! Well done on the episode. Nice montage at the end. Really cool.

[@davidressler4292]

I am impressed that you left the dinghy on the davits rather than tie it to the foredeck. I have always said I would tie the dinghy down on the foredeck for any serious passage because once things start going wrong with a davited dinghy in horrible weather, there is very little one can do with all the forces in a bad situation. It might mean cutting lines and watching her disappear. But then I found myself on 19 hours of miserable weather Monday in a crossing, bouncing around like never before, needing two hands to stand behind the console and my dinghy was strapped to the davits. Thats' the difference between watching it and doing it. Nice work to both of you! Congratulations and thanks for the videos and helping to show the way.

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

Hey David. Yeah after a bit of testing both methods we found for us personally the dinghy is better strapped on the davits rather than the foredeck as it takes up too much space on thr foredeck on our boat and is probably actually dangerous when needing to walk up there to do anything with the sails. It also got damaged from the headsail sheet rubbing along the rubber sadly. But we made sure on big passages we bring it up high and use extra straps to hold it in place and from moving ☺️ thanks so much! Cheers 🫶🏼

[@blairframpton9196]

Congratulations team. That was an awesome adventure!!,

[@somadevo]

A crossing lives on through your life. Congratulations! Highest Blessings

[@danielbalderas2819]

Congratulations you two you accomplished something really big in your lives you should be proud of yourselves as an Old Navy sailor myself my hats off to you guys and I have applaud e d your accomplishment 🤨👏👍

[@theislandlifegardener4707]

Thank you for showing the hardships too. Far too many channels show just the great stuff, and maybe talk about a rough patch. You showed the rough patches, and they are so important to see. Glad you made it! Looking forward to watching your journey.

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Congratulations! Love you kids. Safe travels. ❤

[@brokenmechanic]

our lives are full of ups and downs, Your experiences will make you stronger

[@russellneville7145]

Wow, you go girl. Fare out, my misses would walk the plank before going up the mast. That was impressive. The trust you clearly have in each other is refreshing to see. Congratulations on completing your crossing, well done keep up the good work. I look forward to what's coming next. SV Kiwi Lady Opua Bay of islands New Zealand 👍🏿

[@brandyyellow]

[@stephenmcfarlane4213]

Well done! Thank you for sharing your journey!

[@2299jsimon]

Most of the women I know would never attempt to climb the mast... way to go Janaye. You are a real partner.

[@BruceRoss-u2t]

Congrats you guys true QUEENSLANDERS, you are living your best life ❤❤

[@akilpatrick02]

Proud of you guys. Congratulations on the successful crossing and arrival in NA.

I bet there’s no better feeling then seeing that land come into view over the horizon.

[@LukaBendzo]

One day.... One day, this will be me... Congratulations guys!

[@lotusdolphin]

Janaye Congratulations to both of you! What an incredible accomplishment. I, like you, was a bundle of nerves watching you go up that mast. And one thing after another going wrong. But you did it. You guys did it and you stuck together. Which was even more impressive. Enjoy your time in Barbados, which I’m sure is probably done by now anyway I just wanted to say congratulations 🎉 love you both LIZ from California🪷🐬

[@James-i1t4l]
