Unlocking Hidden Secrets: Epic Island Exploration After 18 Days At Sea | EE 131

[@mikepisarski8210]

Way back in 1974 while in the Navy during a 6 month deployment in the Mediterranean we stopped at the Azores and we painted our ships numbers and a logo on a wall right at the port, I'm sure it's long gone by now but you guys reminded me of a fond memory.

[@gregjohnson2920]

Same here, navy vet, same time period

[@3fed506]

thank you for your service. Im an 11b in the army now and thinking about joining the navy.

[@SirCarlosMusicBMI]

It’s so good to see you guys again. I’ve missed watching you every day 😢. Looks like you’re settling in quite well. You’re making so many great memories 😊. Enjoy every Second of every minute of every day that you’re there. Be safe and healthy. Keep on keeping on my KZbin friends. Blessings, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸

[@robm.4512]

Ahhh, that post-passage feeling of achievement coupled with a slight sense of discombobulation (I love that word) that lasts for a couple of days is coming right back to me. Well done, all three of you, you’re indeed now members of the community that have crossed the pond West to East. If you’ve a mind to do it, by tradition you’ve each earned an anchor tattoo, which is specific to an Atlantic crossing. Come to that, at 5000 nautical miles you also qualify for a swallow each and I’m guessing you’ll be getting close to that fairly soon, if not already. Anyhow, whether tats are your thing or not doesn’t matter a bit, I’m just so happy to see you achieve this milestone, you’ve earned it. Enjoy a bit of chill time, give the rig some love, fix the inevitable odds and ends that have had a gremlin attack and then enjoy the cruise to Gib and beyond. All the best, R. 😎👍🍻

[@randomprecisionmotors3130]

Beginning to wonder what happened...haven't heard from youz guyz in a couple weeks...

[@stevenpentlow2384]

Nice to see you all again. Enjoy the 'Down Time', you've earned it!

[@Sharon-hn9wn]

Missed my favorite sailors. Great to see those lovely smiles and mom again. 🤩Also Penny and Dingo. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Nakailla]

I have been looking forward to this one! ❤ amazing job you guys’ 🎉

[@danfadden]

After going through withdrawals, I finally get my Expedition Evans fix! Whew. I don’t know how much longer I could go so I’m glad to see ya back and enjoying yourselves. Can’t wait to come along on this new adventure!

[@sharilynunthank6874]

So glad you all made it before the storm and then through the storm. We did get spoiled with the daily vlogs but I want you all to be in the moment there in Portugal so I will settle with the occasional one. Enjoy everything!!

[@davidstanley8275]

Been needing my Team Evans fix!

[@stevecrombie5357]

Thanks for checking in. You two have a lot in common with your dogs. Going around marking your territory. Stay safe. ❤🙏

[@pauli7457]

Thank you! 🧜‍♀️🐕🧜‍♂️🐕🧜I love the tradition of painting a memorial to your trip!

[@philvale5724]

Hi 👋, That was a great voyage over the Atlantic, then to get into port and be hit by the storm not nice, The caves are amazing, I have listened to music 🎶 where people have played their instruments inside the caves. It gives a great presence. There is a group of people that sing Viking music and they have used caves and cliffs as a backdrop to project the music out., great to see you all safe and sound, I have been looking 👀 at the start of your adventure, buying your yacht, repairing it which you done amazing , and parts of your voyage, Stay safe, Phil from the moulin France,

[@leonaessens4399]

La Vagabonde crossed the Atlantic three times, leaving their logo in Horta a few years ago. It's a great tradition, some of them are decades old by now.

[@ozzieshuler545]

Was worried about you guys. Assumed you were burned out from the daily videos. Good to see you back.

[@AnnaleeD]

So good to see you back on YT. I hope you all have had plenty of good rest.

[@steelboss337]

I love that you’re a community that supports each other, plugging MJ Sailing, Yaba, and Soulianus. I watch all of them.

[@phildavis3105]

Great hearing from you again. As coast dwellers in Georgia, we do watch Atlantic activity this time of year, especially given warm waters. Seems like several of the big weather waves coming off the Sahara have stayed south, worked around a high, then slingshotted NE well before the Americas. The Azores seem to be along the curb of their watery highway. Looks like one grazed the Azores. Glad all is well.

[@andij4680]

Hi, it's three weeks I discovered your channel and I followed your entire 3 year journey since. Got totally addicted. I'm impressed how you realize your dreams while creating your business. But mostly, its the spirit to handle issues, the smiles and foremost the love and respect among all the passengers. Thanks for sharing.

[@ExpeditionEvans]

Thanks for finding us.

[@markgumprecht2295]

I’m a sailor and expat living here on Faial. Hope you guys enjoy your time here! We love living here! I’ll have to go down to the harbor an check out your painting. Looks like it’s going to be awesome! I’m always look for ones from KZbin channels I follow, but yours will probably be first one I’ll actually find.

[@SeizeTomorrowToday]

I love that Jade's mom gets to come on all these adventures with you! What a great mother daughter experience!

[@TimmieTee99.]

So glad to find this! Have been missing you guys since enjoying all of your daily progress across the pond. Glad to still see lots of smiles and happy pups. Thanks for this new update!❤

[@pelewaieveisreal6449]

I love that you had the chance to document the previous square too! Awesome!

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Thank you for the catch up on this fantastic trip. Best wishes to you and Jade's mom for a great stay in the Azores. Don't forget to fill us in on Ayana's boat search.

[@tunatyme720]

What an absolutely 💯 beautiful smile 😍 💘 😻 💜 💛 💚 🧡

[@tonykollar3600]

I’m happy to see a new video from you guys, I’m amazed on how invested in your trip and I find myself checking almost daily for an update. Glad your doing well and looking forward to the upcoming videos of your adventures.

[@mpstr1nger]

I think I can say on behalf of all your fans WE MISSED YOU!! Hope you had some great down time 😊

[@dougbateman6474]

Yay! At last! I was starting to suffer withdrawal. I figured there'd be a delay after you made landfall, so I binge watched all your previous videos, 4-5 per day. Finished them a few days ago and have been getting more and more anxious every day since. Glad to you all well and happy again.

[@marshahowes8756]

Thank you for a new video. So proud of the 3 of you, actually 5 counting the fur babies, for making the crossing. I'll admit, I missed the daily videos

[@dannyfisher9223]

Oh I've missed watching you guy's!! You should start daily vlogs again!!! Enjoy your time there and enjoy your time with your Mum Jade! Safe travels guy's

[@para1324]

Made port, tried to rest, Mother Nature said, NO! Deal with my wind. Glad you are all good to go and enjoying a deserved break. Looking forward to the completed painting. ⛵️👍

[@mykgrauss9872]

Great to hear from you again. Glad your all safe and sound. Enjoy that popcorn! Now I want some.

[@roberthardy2013]

So Brett, let me get this straight, you had a stupendously great Atlantic crossing in the company of two gorgeous women and two extremely well behaved dogs, and now you are lazing away the days on some of the nicest islands in the world. All I can say is that it is a good job you aren’t English like me or you would be sat there waiting for the metaphorical axe to fall and find it’s all been a dream! Dream life guys, enjoy it all as long as you keep us along! Whoops, it’s come true, I just got to the windy bit, sorry if I jinxed you.

[@Falcon204]

FINALLY, an Episode! I've been going through Evans Withdraw! 😂Those everyday Vlogs got me totally spoiled. Congrats y'all.

[@RevJohnDixonII]

Yea! I'm so glad you guys are filming again.

[@tamelataylor7384]

Yay! Great to see you all! Great video! Thank you!

[@63bigmac63]

Good to see you guys rested up. Can't wait to see you next week

[@trollboy665]

I *LOVE* the MJ Sailing videos!! I've seen so much good stuff about from scratch fiber glassing with them it's INSANE. I also learned that RedStripe helps glass cure faster. Don't ask me, it's just science.

[@franciscoconceicao8900]

I was born in Faial we came to the US in 1959 due to the volcano. And we have been back a few times and Love it there.I have been to all 9 Islands in the Azores.

[@johnjunior6101]

So glad to see that everyone is safe from the storm, and still able to go out and enjoy your new surroundings. Jade and Aiyana you missed a great shot on that raft. You could have both been laying down and had Brett kneeling between you and feeding you the cherry tomatoes.

[@questateyahoo]

Miss you guys. Hope all is well and still enjoying life. Love yas

[@kimmy0868]

I speak for us all, We Missed you!!! Glad you are enjoying Portugal. Try the grilled sardines on rustic bread, it’s delicious!

[@arottie4097]

That sweet Dingo boy. Absolutely mad crazy loves you!! ... 9:43 .. Such a great friend ya have! Excellent episode, Thanx for sharing.

[@Spaghetti7531]

I’ve been WAITING! I absolutely loved all your crossing vids! It’s soooooo gorgeous! You’re living the dream! Have SO MUCH FUN!

[@richb313]

Looking forward to the completed mural.

[@swatsullivan]

Enjoyed! And am now catching up on your earlier videos. Thanks, and smooth sailing!

[@g.lausin8521]

Glad to see you back on the Tube! I've missed your daily videos. Maybe on an upcoming video you can talk about the projects that you need to accomplish before heading to the mainland.

[@eclwallart8398]

Nice to see your back. Keep them coming..

[@scottmonson6463]

I Love the Rain, Jade... Thanks for another great show... Giant Hugs

[@ronb7168]

I was reading some of the comments and one person wrote you had a football stadium of people watching you every day on your trip. Then nothing for 2 weeks. LOL.. The Azores look incredible. Think you can post an update weekly? I for one would love to see more of the life and your interactions on the island. Take us along with you . Cheers!

[@JST106]

Fell in love with your channel!! What an experience. To do this with someone you love would be so amazing!! Best wishes for your next adventure!

[@BeerStache71]

Looks like a great trip and all the videos along the way were great. Thanks for sharing your journey's.

[@RedSeas]

Congratulations on the crossing guys! Enjoy that beautiful island 🎉

[@greglynch3662]

So glad to see you guys!! We were so spoiled with the daily videos!😅 I enjoy every video. Thanks again for peppy and fun content! 😊 Are you guys going to replace the sails and Bimini while your in Europe?

[@wcgolfpro]

Love the logo! Will look for it in December of this year during my cruise. Stay safe ❤❤❤

[@brianthomas3465]

It's so good to hear from yall. We got spoiled on the crossing seeing yall every day ❤ stay safe and we love you guys ❤❤❤❤❤

[@theveteran765]

You sailed across an ocean to see something I wouldn't walk across the street to see! Good job.

[@tunatyme720]

I love Ianna 💘, missed you guys last week ❤ 💓 💗

[@donk8472]

congratulations on a successful voyage!! Sailed the Atlantic Twice courtesy of the US Navy, once to the North Atlantic, and the second to the Med Thru the Suez to the Persian Gulf. Amazing!!!

[@praeliora]

You will find lots of rocky islands with caves you can drive into around the Mediterranean, some big enough to fit a catamaran tour boat😉

[@lbb101]

You still got roughly a 1,000 miles to Europe. So I can't wait for the last quarter of the Atlantic crossing ... ;) The first 3/4 were inspiring and amazing. So: Enjoy the beautiful Azores and rest well.

[@MrFroglips69]

Another groovy, Day In The Life sailing adventure video. Stay safe and stay groovy.

[@MarcelEling]

Glad you were on anchour

[@jonnytoast]

The underwater shots are the best. I was hoping you would do that while sailing. Great videos guys.

[@raulruizfigueroa30]

Such an inspiration, keep up the good work guys! Hugs from Guatemala! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@DBartWest]

How many boats came across with you? Very nice update after the crossing series, which was wonderful. You set a new standard for ocean crossings.

[@irish_ladd4]

Glad to see you guys. I always look forward to seeing your videos! From Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

[@johnfisher3509]

Nice to have you back.

[@kenshores9900]

Yes you all were missed but understand you need time to recover. Welcome back.

[@tonybriant9176]

Hey guys. Once you have an audience, the trick is to keep them up to date. Long intervals without content may lead to disaster. We are hungry for updates even if it is short. Love your way of presenting though. I just need to be kept up to date. I know I’m sad😂

[@aldrindelacruz6198]

Happy that your back❤😊

[@MikeG-gl6rq]

Thanks for the updates Brett and Jade. Special thanks to Aiyana - three simple letters to describe you. W O W ! Personality, intelligence and beauty. As the saying goes, “If we were meant to stay in one place, we’d have roots instead of feet.” Continue to enjoy your adventures.

[@kaydog2008]

Can't wait till you guys get to Malta Spains best days during my U.S. Navy carrier, But Grease by far will always be my #1 first choice. Also Egypt tours were spectecular. Tip prescedule tours to save a bunch. Been back several times since getting out in 2004. Another TIP buy lots of real butter in Italy you wont be disapointed I swear.

[@stevenbi7495]

Omgggg finally a new video!!! I miss the daily videos!!!!

[@Buck1954]

I use Flex Tape for those kinds of holes and rips on my tents. Not permanent but proves to hold.

[@mlh4284]

🎉popcorn, dogs and a movie! Life is good! Have fun you’ve worked hard!

[@jonathanscott550]

Hey guys cool video. It been kind of weird not seeing you everyday. Jade glad your mother made it. Those caves looked cool. That drawing you have picked to put on wall will look fantastic. Enjoy the time and see you later net video. And wow that storm that blew in must have been a surprise,

[@dirk3730]

Jade's Mom definitely has it going on

[@kb3byu]

[@MyDesertSunshine]

Amazing sea caves

[@SamuelKTennis]

As an Audubon (bird watching parents, father the President of Florida Audubon Association) child I learned early that layers were God! Open them, close them, layers were IT!

[@freerangemarketers]

I’m glad you guys are enjoying the new destination! Nice popcorn popper too! 🍿 🎨 🧺 🐕 ⛵️

[@bryanirwin5473]

It's good to see you guys are doing well.

[@roadhand84]

For a day on anchor 😊

[@jonbird6566]

Kinda sad that they didn't show the full painting. I tried to find it on their other socials but couldn't. It was a fun journey though. Thanks for taking us along!

[@JerryW-i2u]

Missed you guys!!!!

[@shawnbryant8120]

All I have to say is finally! Jk. you guy’s spoiled us with the daily’s. Feel like its been an eternity since you posted so excited to watch this

[@DelventhalJohn-ct2ts]

Love you all ❤

[@sparkymike8995]

As a pilot, who is familiar with the winds in the Azors, they can be in excess of 40 knots plus gust. Be careful.

[@justinjennings8470]

The anxiety! Glad you guys are back to posting videos!

[@tamaramixon6014]

Thank goodness y'all post another video I've been looking every day actually worried about you guys 💞❤️

[@mikemoxley9477]

FYI…. We all love your videos no matter what camera you use ! 😊

[@edwardstarrett5545]

Glad yer back!

[@BennettL-q2l]

During the hike the camera is on a selfie stick, but the stick I think has been erased in editing. Yes? The passage was fun watch....Ben

[@theunstoppabledriver6978]

@8:40 … at least the crazy wind/weather hit after y’all got into the marina huh?? … & kind of ironic since the 18 day passage across a whole ocean was chill. 👽😅😅

[@coralgwyn-williams9933]

YAY!!! You guys were missed!!!

[@jorgeaguiar959]

Enjoy the island, I have family on the main island S.Miguel, I was there back in 2018, planned to go back this year but I don't think we'll make it. there's always next year.
