We Sailed DIRECTLY into a STORM for Her (bring it on!) | EE 86

[@PaulRoberts-e9o]

Hi guys, your mom’s great ! It’s so nice to see your sharing your beautiful life with your mom !! It’s so special!! I’m trying to get my daughter to travel the world! We live in UK and I want her to see the world, can u help me convince her that there’s so many beautiful things to see in the world! And get out of that comfort world and into a life of excitement like yours! Please ! Stay safe 👍

[@bigbellyclub9168]

What an adventure you guys are having with Jades mum. She is certainly lucky to have such an adventurous daughter and son-in-law. You guys are lucky to have her supporting you and organising the backend of things. A true A team all round. Happy sailing guys.

[@beachplumb]

A sailing instructor I had back in the early 90's (who'd sailed his Pacific Seacraft 40 around the world) told us, "Foul weather gear isn't a fashion statement! It should be bright orange, red or yellow - nothing else".

[@AtlasTheAxie]

Neon yellow/Green is okay too. I've lived on house boats since I was in da womb 😅

[@kevingumfory]

I had an old wise man tell me once dont look a gift horse in the mouth and don't take advice from dummies. Same guy said that stuff.

[@arthansen]

When wanting some air flow in the forward cabin with the dingy on the deck, hook the spare halyard to the bow and lift the front of the dingy up. You can then open the hatches. The dingy will work as a wind scoop. Stay cool.

[@hidesertmusic]

Jade,your mom is really cool and she sounds just like you. It’s great that you get to spend your adventures with her. You, Brett and your mom are a great family unit. All of you have beautiful smiles!🥰

[@rogeroneill2269]

I watched 2 of your earlier videos and instantly subscribed. I'm hooked, I'm impatient for the next video. I live in the southernmost Caribbean island of Trinidad, below the hurricane belt, so boating is big here. I live in for the sea, but sadly can't afford a boat. However, every weekend leads me to the water and the coast. I work in the maritime industry so I've been out sailing, but how I wish it was my entire life. I'm living vicariously via your vlog.

[@Lizzybaby30500]

Itll happen one day dont give up ❤

[@seancreighton8891]

Jade your editing skills just get better and better. Your channel really has an almost TV like quality. I think you’re an awesome couple living your best lives. Thank you for sharing your adventures and stay safe.

[@tezdejesus8384]

I'm just getting to your previous episodes because I've been following the current. I like your interactions and enthusiasm. This episode is in the areas we traveled 4 decades ago. Much has changed, much hasn't. One of the drone shots shows a cut that I thought might be on the N end of the NW Anchorage of Big Majors. We would anchor there with very few other boats, and NO pigs. My husband would drop me in the water on the N end of the small cut and I would drift thru. Drift might not be the correct word when the current was running. It was exhilarating. A few times a med. size shark was at the outbound end. Make your memories now. An older generation were the only ones encouraging us back then and now I'm learning why. (Ageing hinders abilities, but not enthusiasm!) Go for it! Do it now!

[@westie4ageturbo.749]

Those two doggos have to be the happiest puppers there are!

[@bos6782]

The time thing is the fact that you’re not having to clock in and out of a job, you’re living the dream on the ocean with the one you love, very cool

[@stephenrrose]

Great video, editing, music, and love that Jade's Mom is along! She is cool!!! Brett, love your words, thoughts at the end, take nothing for granted and enjoy the journey! All of you deserve this from the many hours and hard work on getting the boat and yourselves ready for this expedition! Stay safe you 5! Thank you for bringing us along!

[@rfalshaw]

After watching a few shows with Jades mon in them, I see where Jade inherited her bubbly charismatic charm. The three of you are an amazing team to watch.

[@thereturningboomerang]

13:00 those little paws just kicking away..... So cute!!! #DogLover

[@CuriousHumbleMarie]

Loved the video and hearing Brett's comments at the end! After seeing all of your hard work, it's truly a pleasure to see the both of you living an authentic joyful and richer life. You make the transition into your sailing life look easy but for the sake of education, I'd appreciate more insight of the things that stress and exhaust you besides the obvious safety issue watching for fair skies and reefs. Hopefully they are issues that will get easier with time and experience. Love supporting you and I'm looking forward to seeing the story of your sailing life unfold. Namaste 🙏

[@leshamilton1374]

Once an aviator, always an aviator. Nice crew coordination in the "transfer of controls"

[@zacelander1454]

Love you guys. Have followed you forever. #1 of all the blogs I follow. Jade's mom is exactly like her daughter + a few years. Same voice, smile, mannerisms etc. Good sailing to you all.🥰

[@kevingumfory]

That shot of mom standing behind the foresail ... I do hope she was having the best of all possible thoughts !

[@bradpritchett3161]

Beautiful Thank you for sharing

[@allmomomosthomebus3895]

My wife and I were just talking about how we have noticed that as we age, time seems to accelerate. We're hoping that in getting out there full time by bus and by boat, time will slow down a bit. Your commentary about duality and the moments is interesting to me. Experiencing contrast and cutting edge vibrant new experiences is, in my opinion, really living life. And you need the duality for the contrast. Some commentary on how sailing has changed your outlook, spiritual understanding attitude, mental processes, etc would be an interesting episode.

[@philpaige9770]

Mom, you can always come to Juneau, AK and I'll show you around this awesome place while evading the bears. I know what its like to have an adventurous daughter as my only child moved here in her early 20's for college but ended up as a salmon fisherman for several years. She also worked at a salmon hatchery on a remote island avoiding bears daily. I'm originally from EP, RI. Best wishes to all.

[@cherisseponraj4665]

Glad to see your mother sailing with you! It looks like everyone’s living their best lives and making their best videos! 😘

[@BrianWetzel]

Nice Perspective Brett ....... We all Thanks you and the Family for taking us with you!

[@spindlespringsranch3108]

Excellent content, production, beautiful smiles and wonderful frolicking doggies. I just love you guys, thanks for sharing your adventures with us! ⛵️🐬👍❤️

[@kevingumfory]

Buahaha. Moms "its why im here" was BOSS MODE ! :D

[@johnmagnan759]

so happy y'all enjoying life in paradise. Made all that hard work of rebuilding your boat worth it.

[@cardp17]

in light winds, reduce main halyard/outhaul tension a bit and move your jib cars forward. you want baggy sales. do the opposite in strong winds. good times!

[@Madchris4x4]

Spoon lure is what you need for trawling so great for you guys to have family on board thanks for sharing yet another special moment in time may they keep on keeping on fair winds Guys

[@FrejaBlight]

Sending love, appreciation, and Good Vibes!

[@rileyhall9641]

Love the vids, we will see you out there soon! As far as fishing on a sailboat (in blue water) goes, grab a daisy chain connected to a hand line straight down the middle 20yards back. Then off port run a short line (30 yards) with a skirted hook that matches the color of the daisy chain. Then run a far line (40-60yds) off the starboard with either a popper skirt, or a cedar plug with your favorite color. You’ll catch all the mahi and tuna you can eat.

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Thank you for taking us along on this lovely trip through the Bahamas. Keep having fun.

[@dorianzittle7710]

You and your mom look so much a like , looks like you guys are living the dream. I wish you both far winds and God's SPEED. Hello 👋 from Dorian in Houston Texas. You are finally out of the rat race!

[@williamevans4211]

Following your adventures is so entertaining. Look forward to it every week. Having your Mother -in-Law is an adventure in itself!

[@phillipmullis7904]

You have worked so hard getting that boat ready you deserve every good thing that comes to you.

[@jakebuck564]

So great! Watched for the first time on a Sunday morning. Very peaceful and entertaining show to wake up to

[@michaelnelson9140]

You guys are one of my guilty pleasures. Sometimes,I live vicariously through you.😁

[@kb1esx]

Thanks for bringing us along!

[@BohemianBeatster]

Just found your channel and like it. Very enjoyable. It's always a blessed thing, I feel anyway, when young sailors can take a parent or two along on some of their journal, specially when that parent is so groovy.. I have marked your channel, and look forward to more adventures with you family. Stay groovy and stay safe until next time.

[@StevenPLegere]

Y'all need to pick up a casting net and learn to use it to catch live bait and pick up a second pole if you don't have one. You could be catching and stocking up fish in the freezer while you're anchored. Part of living off the grid is learning to forage for your own food. The bounty of the sea surrounds you and I'm not seeing you use that resource. It will save you thousands in the long run and it's healthy, fun, & delicious. Multiple fish species, spiny lobsters, conch, shell fish, and crabs are all plentiful in the Bahamas and just about everywhere you're likely to end up. Think of all the tasty things you could have been eating on the beach other than hot dogs LOL

[@chrispomfret8592]

Hi team Evans, you guys need some wind socks for your hatches. They do an amazing job at catching air and funnelling it through your boat at night. Oh and grab yourselves a pair of polaroid sunglasses for wearing when you try to spot bomboras and reefs in the water. They cut the glare down dramatically.

[@williamlewis8741]

Hello Jade... i must say, your mother is charming and classy. you have every bit of here smile and energy. you are quite blessed to have a mother who's not afraid of a little rain and uses the term 'bring it on' with gusto and a smile. please transmit a hello from me, a faithful subscriber living in a forest in the south of France.

[@rainfinger]

We sailed around the world in the 80s and the Bahamas is as good as it gets. A note: Light air sailing is an art form, coming in handy if you ever lose your diesel.

[@ChristopheLeRet]

Well done, all your hard work is paying off. Thanks for sharing.

[@mikemoxley9477]

GREAT video AGAIN... Love the last comments. Great to have those memories with family.

[@lynxshd]

Stunning, thank you for sharing

[@SpartacusAudion]

Thanks guys. Great vid. Can't wait to see how you handle hurricane season.

[@DCGULL01]

Love you guys & we've been 'long time' followers & subscribers. We joined when you bought the boat @ auction! And, have been hooked ever since! Love the footage these days (Ahhh, Bahamas!) had NOT seen the gorgeous bubbling bathtub yet. We also love those moments- when you beat the squall & get the wind for a spell before it all goes away. Of course, the dogs are priceless. I bet your mom loves to visit, but- needs a vacation when she goes home! Jade- you are an energy ball! ( Sorry, I'm gushing a bit- I mean "Great Video!") Hahaha- can't wait 'til the next one!

[@ExpeditionEvans]

Thank you so much 😊😊😊

[@RoyClare]

Love your work! Thanks for sharing so beautifully ….. 🎉👌🏽💯💙🍻🇬🇧😎

[@NoConsent33]

You guys are Great!!

[@MichaelRuhe1706]

Tip for having the dinghy in the front: Use one of the halyards and fix it on the tow fitting to lift the front of the dinghy approx. 1,5 meters. This allows you to open the hatches easily and goes quick.

[@trentonevans8574]

Been enjoying your folks for quite some time and this one was wow good

[@theveteran765]

PLEASE show more of your mother! I think I'm in love! 🇺🇸

[@JustMe-pp1mp]
