[@deborahhandyside2491]

Love seeing you with your new friends Patrick and Michaela! We enjoy their channel as well 😊⛵

[@Bretandmarisa]

They are so amazing! We are spending a lot of time with them. They've been giving us KZbin tips! I think we should take one and upload a video soon haha! So happy to hear from you Deborah

[@Sailingsanctuary]

Yinz are coming along just fine, your sails will fill with time, no worries. You got this. Keep up the funny videos. Fair winds and following seas.

[@Bretandmarisa]

Thank you for the encouragement! Sometimes it's good to have a reminder that we're in the process

[@patrickandmichaela]

Oh no not the drone! So glad you decided to go through Georgia and found out how lovely it can be. Sometimes it is better to go see for yourself instead of just hearing what others have to say! Stay safe out there and thank you so much for sharing your journey!⛵

[@Bretandmarisa]

I wonder how many people skipped it just because someone said it was bad, and then I wonder if that person even went or if someone else told them it was bad. Maybe it is bad and we just enjoyed ourselves anyways, who knows!

[@theodorebowers9737]

Good going kids Your looking great . Keep up the hard work it will pay off and have fun doing it at the same time ! Life just started for you and look at what you have already, God bless you and sail by you side 🙏🏻❤️ Amen

[@Bretandmarisa]

I lived there for ten years. Spend the night on Cumberland Island where all the wild horses live if you want. It's gorgeous.

[@Bretandmarisa]

It sounds awesome but holy cow it was so hot, definitely a cooler weather option

[@bjet80s45]

Awesome video! New subscriber here. I grew up on St. Simons and live in Brunswick now and we live in a beautiful area for sure. Our waterways are open and clear but can get sketchy depending on tides and winds especially the cut between Cumberland, Jekyll to St. Simons. Glad yall made it through our home. Next time hopefully yall can stay longer. Safe seas ahead and God bless.

[@Bretandmarisa]

Oh how awesome! I definitely wouldn't mind spending a bit more time there, but we're on a mission! The only spot we got really messed with in Georgia was probably Sapelo Sound, it was pretty wavy

[@bjet80s45]

@Bretandmarisa Doboy Sound at Sapelo can get pretty bumpy on high water. Enjoy the trip and look forward to future videos. Stay safe and sail on 🤙

The biggest seas I was ever in. Was thirty footseas Off the coast of texas, In the middle of winter. A Northern front came down. I was on a Two Hundred eighty foot Big ass supply vessel. Yes I was unnerved. I put my life jacket on. And I slept Water tight door to go outside. Because I didn't want To get trapped Below Decks if it did go down. . That storm lasted two and a half days. And yep I did get a Sick on that one.

[@Bretandmarisa]

Yeah I would say 30 foot seas is a good time to put the life jacket on! Holy moly I can't imagine

[@nolanmailhos1470]

If they were 8 to twelves foot seas out there. I would not be too concerned about it on your boat. You have a good ocean going vessel. I don't think you could beat into them. But you could run with them quite Easily. The canoe stern you have , Is four challenging seas. There are a few tricks to To dealing with rough seas. Especially when you're shiting on yourself. One is to use your sea anchor To keep your bow into the seas. Weather may last a day or a week. The other is to put a shock line off the stern. It is a long Rope With nots in it. It will help keep you from surfing down A Wave. You tend to lose. Control Surfing searching down a wave. And may Get sideways and rolled ,possibly Dismasted. I usually just use the roller furling jib. Adjusted Size acordingly To run with the seas. And keep my name down and secured real good.

[@Bretandmarisa]

You're a wealth of knowledge Nolan! You've never told us about yourself, what's your sailing experience like? Thanks for the tips! We appreciate you

[@patrickandmichaela]

Well said Nolan! Well Said!

[@kerryprance3767]

Ya'll should have stopped at CUmberland Island and/or ST Mary's... SOme weird water around there though. On one hand I had a friend that got a swing keel Cat 22 stuck and had to winch it out with the anchor and dingy - BUT - on the other hand that is Kings Bay Nuclear Sub base so they keep a good channel dredged. I don't have a clue how much water draw or what your keel is. ... Oh... Ya'll don't look at all stoned in that last scene .😝

[@Bretandmarisa]

Hey Kerry! We did see Cumberland Island! Check out our last video we uploaded Its titled something like "wild horses". We draw 5ft 2 inches

[@nolanmailhos1470]

The joke about the dragon bowling. This one of my favorite dumb jokes. You can even get seasoned. Sailors with it. Get. You about a five foot piece of rope! And show the dummies. How to make a regular bowling on the end of it. And then To make the dragon bowling. You throw Bowling not on the ground And pull it around on the from the other end. Draging it behind you.ha. Get it? Dragon bowling.

[@Bretandmarisa]

Ooo I'm gonna have to try and get someone with that, that's a good one!

[@kelli4904]

Aww sorry to hear about the drone, those shots were so cool. What drone were you guys using?

[@Bretandmarisa]

It was a DJI mini 3

[@DefThrone]

We got to work on getting you a better drone.

[@Bretandmarisa]
