ep31 - Sailing New York to Boston - Hallberg-Rassy 54 Cloudy Bay - July 2018

[@DCGULL01]

What an elegant way to visit my home port. Well done- and, on the 4th of July! My great Grandfather was the Commander of the USS Constitution (Francis D. Gulliver) during the last restoration. He was in charge during the bi-coastal trip (under barge) & was called a 'sot' by the President at the time! Hahaha- not such a historic family tree. Great video, lovely vessel! I mean the H-R 54 "Cloudy Bay"! of course.

Beautiful images, every day are overcome. A cordial greeting.

[@2lipToo]

Lovely sailing and nostalgia for me to see some old stomping grounds again.

[@SailCloudyBay]

dzb it was indeed lovely cruising around Long Island Sound. We loved it. Not so keen on north of Cape Cod canal. Didn’t like those pots!

[@cleeshann1928]

Thanks again for showing me Boston and the 4th of july celibration.

[@SailCloudyBay]

Thanks. It was indeed a great day.

[@barrysonha7539]

You guys are fantastic -a joy to watch.

[@williamjoachim1897]

I loaded up this video before reading the description and the first thing I said was... that's a Hallberg Rassy. Thanks for the video

[@SailCloudyBay]

Dejected Mango. Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@h2overlandjacquesbrown881]

Loving your videos. I'm hoping to hoping to head out into the waters of the North Atlantic and you guys are giving me great insight into what to expect. Keep up the good work.

[@cleeshann1928]

Very nice photography! Great shots and well done. Thanks for sharing.

[@SoyyodavidZzxy]

i've been to all the New England destinations via automobile many times. Well, ferry for MV and NTKT. you hit all the highlights. Going to watch all your stuff..

[@plumpsh]

Beautifully shot and memorable both in terms of the locations and the effortless control you have over Cloudy Bay. Cheers! ROB

[@clifflong1203]

Spectacular!! VERY nicely done to the two of you! We now hope to make this same trip during the 4th of July! The videography was spot on with just enough narration to allow natural wonder and self indulgence :) cheers mates and fair winds~

[@SailCloudyBay]

yes Cliff, we had a great day in Boston on 4th July. We even felt patriotic ourselves!

[@g.i.gondesen3266]

Great videos. We really enjoy them.

[@NYWaters]

Glad you had a nice trip through Long Island Sound. My home waters. Looks like you also timed Hell Gate perfectly. It a "Hell" of a slog for those who don't. :)

[@SailCloudyBay]

Hi there. With the approaching hurricane, would you have any advice where to seek shelter in Long Island sound, should it come this way?

[@NYWaters]

I rode a glancing brush with Hurricane Earl in Three Mile Harbor in East Hampton a few years ago. Holding is good and lot's of room if things start to drag. biankablog.blogspot.com/2010/09/goodbye-earl.html Mattituck is also a snug spot with very good protection from the winds. Anchorage is small but, good holding mud. There is also a marina which might be a good alternative if there is no more room in the anchorage. Stay away from the Connecticut side problems with surge and more rocks around.

[@stargazergirl9932]

I love your channel, your videos and the 2 of you! I think your bikes are great! xx SGG

[@francodeseta9999]

Hello. I see that the fishing rod is always armed, but the fish never bite? Your videos are beautiful, and even your boat. Greetings.

[@SailCloudyBay]

In the Atlantic and around the islands we caught quite a few fish, and all are on our videos. But also the problem with line fishing is the weed and debris in the water. For every one fish we probably caught 10 lumps of weed!

[@tunamaniak]

Hi I enjoyed watching this video. Did you guys have a change to visit The Mill Warf restaurant in Scituate? Great to see the aerial shots of Scituate harbor.

[@SailCloudyBay]

Thanks for the comment Hans. I think we did have a beer there. Lots of nice places to eat intact.

[@toddteagarden2200]

Love your videos! Actually the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia :)

[@SailCloudyBay]

Thanks for the info!

[@jwrappuhn71]

Fantastic vid ya'll.

[@rolandkrupitza9746]

Beatifull city that is. Now when I see Cloudy I going to tell Her that you guys what that small house 😉.

[@jamesihle7915]

Great video..does your boat have A/C?

[@SailCloudyBay]

Yes, we do have A/C but we only run when in a dock with shore power, or occasionally on generator.

[@jamesihle7915]

@@SailCloudyBay Thank for your reply. I currently live in Coconut Grove, Miami Fl. Its on the water and is well protected by Key Biscayne. Several sailing clubs and just a lovely community away from the hustle and bustle of Miami You should sail down afternoon hurricane season. We have the best winters in the world. Good sailing..jim

[@en8581]

Great video! What kind of bicycles do you have? Do you recommend them for cruising, e.g. resistance to rust? Thanks.

[@SailCloudyBay]

They are “Gocycle” folding electric bikes. Look up gocycle.com. On the positive they are simply fantastic to ride, with wheel spacing of a normal bike, chunky BMX tyres, and for a fold into bike, extremely ridged. The electric hub on the front with take you up even steep hills. They fold very small. Down side is they are quite heavy ( due to battery) damned expensive and operated by electronics which of course will surely fail one day. Especially if related to a boat! The main pieces are pretty corrosion proof. But we have noticed, after 2 years, that some screws and bolt show corrosion. But I’m sure any bike on a boat would suffer. My bad for not corrosion protecting them from new. My wife loves riding hers .... that’s the big plus! We just did 40 miles today on Martha’s Vineyard and only used 1/2 the battery.

[@florianpeek9880]

Great video! What type of camera do you use? And do you use an extra mic for sound or just the audio from your camera? I notice you have little wind noise problems even while under sail with your cam :)

[@SailCloudyBay]

Florian we are using a goPro6. Yes we were having wind issues but have now got the mics covered with fluffy wind-noise reducers. Much better now. Checkout our latest videos. But you are right, I think it’s time to buy an external mic with fluffy-cat.

[@florianpeek9880]

Thanks for your answer :) and I actually ment I think your sound is very nice already :). Have a lot more wind issues myself so I was wondering how you reduced it so much. So I guess its time for me to get some fluffy wind cat thingy :)

[@SailCloudyBay]

Ah ha .... yes I mid read. We are so used to people complaining about wind noise in our videos .... we have never had a compliment about it! Yes, with the small fluffy things on the GoPro housing it makes a lot of difference. The GoPro automatic wind reduction is good, but when it activates in strong wind it does seem to give our voice-over an echo sound, like we are talking inside a drum!

[@florianpeek9880]

Thanks for the tips (ordered a Gopro so I guess we will see how it works for us :) our sailing channel is sailingeastofthesun by the way :). Really like your stuff. Especially that you often don't use any music, minimal commenting etc. It's very nice to see the real experience like that. Actually inspired the concept of this video a bit :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHnFnniwgMafjZo Have a great day! :)

[@Case_PP5AX]

Awesome ... Boston is better in your camera... Fair Winds ...

[@SailCloudyBay]

It really was a superb visit, both the city, 4th July, and weather

3:48 -> profanity! love it :D

[@thomasstorrs6345]

Enjoy Maine. Beware the lobster pots!!

[@SailCloudyBay]

Thomas, you betcha! The buggers are EVERYWHERE! but we only managed 1 around the prop. They rather take the joy out of sailing in Maine. I just don’t understand how they are allowed to place them even in channels and even among moorings. Clearly Lobstermen are a breed unto themselves. We couldn’t complain about the lobsters thou ... delicious!

[@thomasstorrs6345]

@@SailCloudyBay And add the fog to the pots. Ouch. Hopefully you will get to explore Nantucket, the Vinyard and the apostle islands. My old sailing grounds

[@thomasstorrs6345]

I mean Naushon island...

[@SailCloudyBay]

Thomas, Nantucket and Martha's were indeed wonderful islands and we also stopped in Cuttyhunk Island on our way to Newport. Thanks for the advice.

[@plexiglass6087]

Great Vids but the music is so loud, what gives, apart from my ears.

[@SailCloudyBay]

Plexi Glass sorry about the music volume. More recent vids we have tuned it down for the drone shots.
