[@ELLA.1983]

We all need to show Jade and Brett some patience and understanding. They took us across the Atlantic in the present and they informed us before they left Bermuda that we would get to see everything they experienced in the Bahamas after they crossed over to the Azores. And now they're doing just that, now they're sharing everything they've experienced since they left Florida and headed over to the Bahamas. Thank you Jade and Brett for allowing us to experience real time with you during the time you crossed the Atlantic ❤️

[@mandasscents4012]

Not to mention that they have to replace sails and parts of the body of the boat that broke along the way to Europe. You’ve perfectly written this!!

[@atemplin843]

@ExpeditionEvans I agree 1000% . I loved the daily crossing vids. I also understand that's a ridiculous amount of time/work! Just wondering when, or if, we can expect weekly videos again? Me and my son check every weekend!

[@Sammyturtle]

Of the boat required any work, I'm hoping they would film it for us.

[@Sammyturtle]

I checked daily, but I'm losing interest, how many others are and not saying.

[@ELLA.1983]

It's important to keep in mind that Jade and Brett are real people with lives outside of KZbin. They produce all the content on the channel themselves and that is demanding. We have to show them patience and understanding, and rather be happy that they want to share so much of their lives with us. I'll wait until they're ready to share more with us❤️those who wait for something good don't wait in vain☺️

[@dwk5234]

Sorry I missed this one when it came out, it’s so beautifully shot and edited. As someone who’s sailed for over 50 years, I truly appreciate Brett and Jade’s talents and skills to bring both the feeling and emotion of the moment to all of us. Thank you!

[@Solinfused777]

Just wanted to leave a comment saying that I can tell making these videos is a lot more work than people imagine. I am grateful you put in the time and effort to share moments that you have every right to keep private if you wished. It was special you let us join you on your Atlantic crossing. It was a big risk to post daily’s in nearly real time when your previous content was not made in that way. I can see that when going from regular content to daily you had to skip over some things in order to share that with us in such an intimate way. I am inspired to see some of the memories and challenges that lead up to you braving an ocean crossing. I hope you guys are feeling rested and are taking time to soak all the good in. Your living an incredible life, you should enjoy it!

[@ExpeditionEvans]

Thank you

[@wolf-bg5sg]

Thanks for taking the time to edit together this compilation of your Bahamas season! I'm sure it's hard to go "back in time" to edit something so different than what you're living in real time. Appreciate you sharing all this footage, loved the stormy sections with cozy vibes 🌧🍂

[@jeffreybell8301]

Your Atlantic crossing videos helped me during knee replacement recovery. I looked forward to seeing your progress every day. Really enjoy keeping up with you two and look forward to seeing your experiences in Europe and further eastward. Best wishes from a big fan!

[@Simoncalcutt]

Guess you cant please everyone. I really love the music to your videos. The only thing I find annoying is I dont know what it is so I can't download it! Keep playing it. And maybe post a list of all the music you've played. Commission, maybe?? Keep posting. You videos brighten my day.

[@ricktaylor14001]

Okay, someone help me out here. The last few videos have all been older content; the last “new’ish” video I saw was their Atlantic crossing with them arriving in the Azores. That was all done sort of “live”. Once they hit there, they seemed to have stopped filming and are putting out old compilation videos. Does anyone know what’s up? Are they okay? Have they gone on to Portugal or the Med? Did I miss something?

[@Chantal_4107]

Not really sure, and this new type of editing, along with the overly loud background music that drowns out their voices, it's all frustrating and confusing.

[@ExposingReflections]

Wow. Some amazing footage. Highlights: evening fire scene at around 12:30 and the final scene at the end. Awesome lighting and such awesome clarity. Plus the gorgeous light blue waters. Thank you for sharing the wonderful adventures. Great to see Spirit Animal and its fine crew.

[@jonrau5988]

"Spear It Animal" definitely has the design for the dodger you need.

[@rainfinger]

We miss you guys. Your content was so original and interesting.

[@qball4822]

I wish the music wasn't so loud so that I'd be better able to hear what you guys were saying.

[@TimmieTee99.]

Was so enjoyable finding this tonight. Always so fun to see all four of you with smiles and energy. ❤

[@Charlie-Oooooo]

Good to see you guys, Brett Jade Dingo and Penny! Hope you're all doing well! ❤

[@Falcon204]

Congrats on over 400K subs! YAY! 🎊 Couldn't have happen to the most deserving couple on KZbin.! Thanks for sharing all your memories with us. Hugs to y'all and even bigger hugs to Penny and Dingo! Much love from New Orleans.. 🤗

[@Roskellan]

You put some effort into this video guys, very engaging right through to the end 🙂

[@nancyspruiell347]

This was a beautiful video that I needed today. I don't think I've ever seen either of your dogs not obey you before...Penny was just TOO excited :). Your cinematography and your spirits just make me happy! Thank you for bringing us all aling with you! xoxo

[@tollertollertoller]

Halfway through and really enjoying the peaceful feeling this episode is bringing to me.

[@shawnmoore9380]

Those dogs love the water!! Glad to see Spear It Animal is around!

[@lillyrose3545]

Do you guys happen to have a single, capable man friend that is looking to do this? 😂 When I became a patreon I think I shared that I had been bed-bound for a few years, and then house. In an indirect way you and your channel inspired me to get out! I am out and doing physical therapy 2x a week and the “Let’s”, and can do attitudes you guys have made me realize how much more living there is outside of these walls and can’t is no longer a word that I use. I learned that if I put my mind to anything I want in life it is possible! So Jade & Brett, thank you so much! Sorry I have been gone as a viewer for a while, but I was out living a more fulfilling life. I would like to hire you both as life coaches please. Until then I have this channel. 😊

[@ExpeditionEvans]

We love this. Thank you

[@js7127]

Been here from the start and love the memories shared. Dacia huge but love all your adventures especially with lil sis Aiyana. You two are beautiful and relatable people so will continue to be here for you in the future. Best to you'all

[@roberthardy2013]

You two are lucky having the sort of relationship that lots of people aspire to, make the most of it and never neglect each other. As a team you are 300% not two 100%. And a great example to others. My wife died a few days ago of a cardiac arrest, we had had a great day together but in the evening she was watching tv and I was reading in another room so she just said goodnight as she went to bed and was asleep when I went up so I never got to say a proper goodby. One of my other main regrets is that my last photo of her was from the back while she was feeding ducks with our granddaughter. I guess the point of this ramble is like the song “ You don’t know what you got ‘til it’s gone” so never ignore and never part on bad terms. At least I have 51 years of our memories and great kids and grandkids so I got that going for me. Stay safe out there.

[@ExpeditionEvans]

Thank you for sharing and your reminder to cherish each day. May you find comfort during this difficult time.

[@nick.caffrey]

I am sorry for your loss. Sounds like she went peacefully, which is a wonderful thing. Somebody said to me on the death of my parents "They are safe now." I found this comforting. I hope you do too. Take very good care of yourself now. You and she live on in your grandchildren. Peace be with you.

[@marshahowes8756]

I'm so sorry for your loss.💔 I lost my late husband in 2017 to a rapid aggressive pancreatic cancer. I'll be thinking of you. Please let the beautiful memories of your wife comfort you in this time of grief

[@Sammyturtle]

Thank You for sharing a piece of your life with us.

[@Solinfused777]

You sound like a very blessed man to have experienced a love like that. Thank you for sharing it with us 💞

[@rayb3117]

I dont think Penny unders6tands that Ray can hurt her. But is funny watching Jade get all 'upset' with the dogs...lol

[@IEnigIMa]

Wow. Been watching since day 1 and you guys are killing it. Congrats on 400k subs❤. Thanks for sharing your happy times and sad times. Real life adventures. My adventures are of a different sort, so it’s great to live out yours without the expense of boat life😂. Impressive how fast your channel has grown. I watch them all so I really mean impressive. You’ve passed up the veteran channels. Woot woot! 🍻 cheers 🥂 guys❤. Man, sailing Uma. Been around for a decade 420k. Parley less than you also. All great channels. All great adventures. Great to see all of you

[@geridabooyens5910]

I am sooooo confused! Where are you guys? I was so hyped for the Altantic crossing - and then you just dissapeared.

[@cjtn1746]

Thoroughly enjoyed this montage. Seriously...we don't always need a story or sailing wisdom. Sometimes just lay the realities out there instead.

[@sailingcitrus]

You guys are killing it! So glad you guys are thriving out there!

[@snipinmonsta]

what happened to sailing Dacia ? I was just telling them how much I look forward to their adventures and poof gone

[@Bcwwoods]

Good question, hope they are ok

[@dustindavis499]

Brett!!! Brett!!..Hey man it’s Dustin from the Philippines. I’m so happy to see this channel. I lost all my contacts a couple years ago or else I would just txt you. Your doing it man! I’ve always wondered what happened to you and it looks like your achieving at exactly what you set out to do. Last time I saw you was just before covid. So happy to see your living the adventure man. I have subscribed and will be keeping up lol. Also if you ever come through the Great Lakes you have to let my wife and I host you guys.

[@DynaHogg]

Someone let me know when they are back with actual videos, ✌🏼

[@tonykirk1966]

You are an amazing couple, with two amazing fur babies. Thank you so much for letting us into your lives. May you continue to have a safe & happy journey ❤

[@Chantal_4107]

Maybe you'll address this later on in the video, but I'm so confused. Where is this video? Last I knew you had arrived in Portugal and then you kind of disappeared. I was so invested with the daily updates for your Atlantic Crossing, and then you disappeared, posted something from BC, now you're in the Bahamas. It feels like you don't enjoy keeping us up-to-date, and that you're posting old footage in a confusing way.

[@geridabooyens5910]

100000% agree. I am also so confused.

[@MrKingdavis13]

Glad to see you guys are back to posting and I hate to be critical since I know you guys work so hard to make the best videos you can but the non stop annoying music is something I would like to see toned down. I am hoping that this was a experiment but I honestly think the previous editing style was much better but you know what they say about opinions. Lol. Keep posting what you are proud of and don't worry about trying to please everyone, I just wanted to offer feedback and I will watch whatever you produce either way.

[@coline9332]

Love Brett & Jade's work but I strongly agree on the music feedback. The music wasted this video for me as it is impossible to get what is said many times for hard of hearing people.

[@MegaJuniorJones]

Yup agreed. Music was way too loud compared to voices too.

[@Revelation22-13]

Psalm 118:5-6 King James Version 5 I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place. 6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? Gods blessings over you .

[@juniorcobb5162]

I saw you guys on Spirit Animal and wanted to say I'm a new subscriber. I wish y'all well.

[@genEricSVG]

I've watched you guys since you got Eva and have thoroughly enjoyed all of your vids ! The quality of your videos just get better and better , but Brett's ... umm "verbally animated" voice-over during the intro gave me the giggles bad enough to wake my wife :-)

[@DanielTiffany-o8i]

Hope the sump pump is working 😮

[@pauli7457]

Thanks! 💖😘💕 I miss the daily vlogs, 😢, no pressure, just saying.

[@dirk3730]

The background music was so loud it was distracting and could barely hear you guys over it. Beautiful locations, you guys, and the dogs are more than enough to carry a video. Safe travels guys ❣️🙏

[@davidpercival9239]

Thank ya, You make The Light,Britter, on My Pearson,33 1965, Thanks

[@phyllissharp6387]

Hey guys have followed you from beginning love watching your adventures

[@nickyp310]

Is this old footage? Or did you guys sail back from Portugal?

[@johnschultz1801]

I have been watching since you bought the boat. What happened to Spain and the Mediterranean Sea?

[@cathybecher5147]

How beautiful. I loved this video.🥰

[@billyclabough9835]

I thought Aiyana was sailing with you for summer into Med. What happened?

[@DelventhalJohn-ct2ts]

Love you two ❤️

[@ernestgephardt6135]

What a testament to all you guys have accomplished. Love it and keep up the sailing and adventures!

[@ceschias3733]

Godess under that T-Shirt, lucky captain, what a goodmorning start. Hi, from Antigua Guatemala, OsoYolo.

[@123hermdagerm]

Guys - your background music is so loud we can't decipher a thing you are saying. What's wrong with your audio?

[@robertsloane1268]

How do you not have a wind gauge? Massive brass ones to sail across atlantic woth no ectra sails

[@marchelgeson]

I love your vids. This one seemed to have a significantly higher number and faster pace of cuts. That HAS to take more time to edit but gives some amazing sequences, many timed very well to the music. Really complements the variety of experiences you are having compressed into the much shorter time frame of the video.

[@papachuck6007]

Dacia pulled all their content

[@lillyrose3545]

What or who is Dacia?

[@carlestler]

This is a good one!!!!!

[@mikemoxley9477]

Another fun video… cant wait for the more updated adventures! Still just LOVE watching everything you can share with us!

[@alanlopez446]

Awesome, guys! Fun to see the realistic balance between rain and shine down there, too. Both are an adventure, I can imagine.

[@davezxtt]

You should definetely get a clear dodger centre section made to help keep you both dryer when at sail. That way you can still get the light and see the sails through it. That water looks amazing out there.

[@johnkc413]

Jade, I have social anxiety too, and I work in a hospital. I guess when it’s my job, then I am focused on my work and taking care of my patients. When not at work, I struggle to leave my home. I use excuses like it too hot, cold, or dangerous. Among other excuses. I never had much of a social outside of work, so I don’t have much experience of socializing on my free time. So now I spend most of my time with my cats and dogs.

[@aidangreene271]

Ps. Use flex tape then spray with flex seal sprayer for the dinghy repair. Worked like a charm on mine! Enjoy sailing and wish you guys the best! Love watching your videos and are always looking forward to more!

[@scotteberts4339]

I am so confused are these old videos or where are you at?

[@bettymajor7279]

Have you heard from Jake and Nicolle? Where are you guys?

[@DWilliams-ce8nb]

Good content, Brett. But more Jade, please:)

[@demianmaru3179]

Use 2anchors on your skiff. Stop dragging it up beaches. We cruised 20 years,

[@SirCarlosMusicBMI]

CONGRATULATIONS 🎊🎉🎈🍾 ON getting over 400,K subscribers 🎉. I really enjoy watching all your videos. When did you leave your last destination?? What are your travel plans for now? Great editing on this one 👏👏👏❗️Safe travels and Blessings, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸

[@TheRealJonahWicky]

The music was a bit too much for me. I found it very distracting.

[@CharlieDoubleWhiskey]

Agreed. I wasn't sure if it was just me, or my phone. The music was drowning out the dialogue for me at times. Otherwise it's a great video.

[@chrisbartrum3201]

Thought you'd sailed the Atlantic and now here you are in the Carib. Confused and a little tired of bullshit.

[@glenwaye2609]

Hi everyone I love your videos I am wondering are yous back from the Azores

[@BytorFAO]

Beautiful vlog leaves you feeling happy and positive 😊

[@edaalvik7972]

Loved the music in this video, well done!

[@Arnaud58]

Wow, that was one dynamically edited video, love it.👴🤗 It did catch me by surprise though! Normally your episodes are quite laid back. I'm used to watching them before I go to sleep.👴☺ Now it's half past two in the morning, and I'm sitting here with my eyes wide open... I guess I'm gonna look for another one to watch now.👴😳😉

[@tybach3829]

Lovely video! I’ve been watching since you first bought the boat at auction. As someone who cruises in the waters around Vancouver Island, where you guys recently visited ( I loved that you loved our piece of paradise), I find the shallow waters of the Bahamas absolutely terrifying. 😂😂 Our anchorage’s are typically 40 feet if you arrive early and can creep up to 100 feet or more. And the cruising areas are often out of depth sounder range just a mile from shore! You do have better sand and sun for sure.

[@minimalistinmotion]

Wait, what?!

[@Erica_Brenda]

Nice to see you posting again. I had begun to think you were done with your channel.

[@DanielTiffany-o8i]

I think too much. Maybe an Avon or Zodiac?

[@dawnwolff2050]

Yay happy to see you guys again !

[@kenmcvie6350]

Music was to loud, it overpowered you talking.

[@charleswashburn1857]

Sorry... cant follow the sequence of history here guys. :-/

Love you guys ! Last I Saw you arriving the Azores and we’re going to continue on . Then your in BC in a yurt . How did your boat get back to Florida?

[@jackburns804]

This episode is all snippets from their sailing around pre-Atlantic crossing. Why we are not privy to what is going on post-Atlantic crossing is just none of our business.

[@davecundiff3663]

So cool to see the real deal of sailing and the blast of life you two are experienceing

[@rundown48]

What year was this recorded ?

[@ExpeditionEvans]

2023

[@jackburns804]

Better question is why no current explanation by them of what is going on. Eventually we will find out.

[@Chantal_4107]

@@ExpeditionEvans it would be nice if you could be bothered to give us an explanation of why you're not showing footage from or explaining what happened to Portugal? So many of us followed your daily Atlantic Crossing updates, and then you disappeared, and no explanation. To be honest, I'm thinking of unsubscribing.

[@peterwesth5396]

love the bit where Jade turns alpha female

[@johntaylor1947]

Great seanes and great energy from the four of you. Keep them coming and enjoy Europe.
