Finishing over 5 WEEKS on the ocean - LAND HO | Ep 83 | Sailing Merewether

[@davcox100]

I’ve got to say a massive well done to you both. That was a huge undertaking and you must be very proud of yourselves. Isabelle, when you said to Kieran “ have you had a good day “ Kieran should have replied “ Yes of course, everyday with you is a good day” 😂

[@SailingMerewether]

Cheers David! That means a lot. Haha I do, everyday😇

[@runemartinguldberg9056]

No one home there...

[@matthewbaynham6286]

Congratulations on crossing the ocean. And congratulations on not throwing the other one overboard, it must be true love.

[@SailingMerewether]

Thank you Matthew! Hahah cheers mate, must be😅

[@acowboyinalaska4651]

Too be smiling after a trip at sea like that, you two are blessed to have each other

[@SailingMerewether]

Haha thank you William!

[@charleskelly9042]

Thanks for allowing my company to travel with you. It’s important that both of you are not only friends but love each other. Isabelle is an amazing crew member that brings patience and softness to your vessel. You’re a lucky man Kieran to have such a beautiful partner in this endeavor and for extending your patience to her. Keep your love growing and congratulations on your sailing accomplishments.

[@SailingMerewether]

Charles! Cheers for tuning in to our channel🙏🏼thank you

[@williamlilliott2433]

Truly your best ever video. You gave us the feeling of actually being there as the editing was superb. I could feel what the lean on must have been like for that many days. However, with Isabelle aboard, I'd sail a thousand days. Wonderful crewmates the both of you. Heaps of congratulations on a successful crossing.

[@SailingMerewether]

Thank you so much William! Reading this brought a smile to our faces. All the best mate

[@mikedonnanancy5436]

Outstanding accomplishment! So happy for you guys and have just LOVED following your adventures through your channel. Thank you for taking the time to take us along and share your days and nights. A great team, the two of you! Keep us informed, have fun and love each other dearly and daily.

Wow you can really be proud of yourselves guys...this is a massive achievement and i can just imagine that it tests a relationship to the edge. Well done for making that too. Fair winds and thx for sharing :-)

Thank you so much Marius! Haha true that. But worth it, all the best mate

[@mikegardiner335]

Great job guys, your attitude is very good all things considered.

[@SailingMerewether]

Thanks Mike. Really appreciate the nice words.

[@alejandrovanags4948]

What an accomplishment! Sailing for so long doing 3 hour shifts day in day out. Doing all that you still filmed and shared with us. On the other hand I could think of worst thing than sailing to sunset with a goddess in tropical weather ;)

[@SailingMerewether]

Thank you Alejandro! 🙏🏼

[@demale1]

So proud of you both! This will always be incredible and imagine how amazed your grandchildren will be!

Great video, great loving people and great crossing of the Ocean. 👍🙏👌Congratulation

[@SailingMerewether]

Thank you Philippe! Appreciate it🤠

[@GypzyJack]

This video was a great 'story' guys. Whichever the one of you who constructs the images, plans the personal 'interviews', and constructs the commentary you should be commended for your application to the task(s). Well done! Cheers to both of you.

[@SailingMerewether]

Thank you Jack! Glad you enjoyed the video🙏🏼all the best mate

[@vk2ig]

Great video, thanks for posting it! I just love how you two give each other a bit of stick, e.g. the debate over the naming rights for the shark - great to see Isabelle can give it as good as she gets it. :) Also, you might want to check your radio. Try a comms check - not with a boat next door, as that can give you misleading results, but over a bit of distance (e.g. a few km). I was surprised that the other vessel couldn't hear you on Very Ho-hum Frequency at that range.

[@SailingMerewether]

Thank you so much! Hahah glad you enjoy it. Good advice, we’d definitely look into this. All the best mate

[@daleroyse4522]

Wow. Congratulations on enduring such a long passage. That’s a game changer for you both!!

Good job! Now you only have 2/3 of the Pacific left to cross. Hydrovane did not let you down, having used one for years. They are the best.

[@SailingMerewether]

Thank you Pete! Means a lot🙏🏼

[@martinrenschler4046]

Congratulations! Hint: there is no reason to be sailing dead downwind. Your sails are just parachutes and don't develop lift. You should be sailing your downwind polars which should be some 120-140 degrees apparent or so. Sailing your polars ensures that you are making the best speed towards downwind even though the distance is longer.

[@SailingMerewether]

Thanks Martin! Appreciate the information.

[@ahmedalshkal6989]

[@SailingMerewether]

Thank you Bryan! We will hah. Hope everything is well down there

[@Jamdigi]

An amazing effort both of you. You did so well. With that amount of time at sea it must take a toll physically, as well as the mental fatigue that you talk about. Do you have any sort of workout that you do to stay in shape, and help pass the time? Well done, my favorite channel.

[@SailingMerewether]

Thanks so much Jamdigi. We don't have a work out as such. We really should get one organised. Currently sailing keeps us in some kind of ok shape. Cheers for writing in

[@Bill_N_ATX]

Awesome passage. I don’t know that I’d have the patience for a 39 day crossing but I’m glad you guys did. Enjoy!

[@SailingMerewether]

Thanks for the comment William. The patience was wearing thin towards the end of it

[@bendycard]

Congratulations, I can’t even begin to imagine what it took to complete that sail 😌👏 I hope you can get the chance to relax and put your feet up for a few days.

Thanks David! We've really taken a fair few days to ourselves to recover from this one

Enjoy your time ashore. You deserve it. You will look back on this journey as one of the great adventures in your lives. How much water did you have left at the end?

[@SailingMerewether]

Thanks Andrew, your nice words don't go unnoticed. We really struggled towards the end. As for water, we started with 540L, and probably ended with 100L I think but can't be sure

Hello you all, just started watching you all lately. Fun time but I know there's a lot of work. Have you ever seen any species spacecraft, UFO in the sky or water?

[@markegg7680]

Congratulations! What a sail. I think sailing across the Indian Ocean may be the worst due to no wind. Maybe that will affect your future plans. KZbin Channel "Sailing Yacht Florenc has been trying to get across it with no luck, turning back, also getting huge Indonesia experience with COVID (stuck around a year). You might quickly see their channel if you haven't already to familiarize yourself more in that region of the world, should you be thinking of circumnavigating.

[@clarkkent772]

Why the hand steering? Get a Raymarine E400/Gyro with type 2 linear drive and watch your vessel track like it was on rails! 😎

[@SailingMerewether]

Every now and again we get some kind of squall that will blow for 20 minutes, to save packing away sail I may do some hand steering to get through the strong wind. Thanks for your comment

[@OneGenericName]

A third person on long passages like this would be so much easier with 3 hours on - 6 hours off shifts. You two must have been totally exhausted by Land Ho!

[@SailingMerewether]

True! Haha yea a bit😅cheers for tuning in mate!

[@Just_Your_Average_Guy]

Congratulation on such a huge achievement! That much time together with no escape to be alone is hard on anyone. But you two seem to have made it work by being considerate to the other, even when all you wanted to do was throw the other overboard, I'm sure. LOL. Isabelle, you have such a beautiful feminine figure! I'm really curious to know what language the script is on you right bicep and what it translates to. Both of you enjoy the results of you arduous crossing! I'll be looking forward to the coming videos!

Whats wrong with the hydrovane?? You seem to be hand steering alot.

[@SailingMerewether]

On occasions when we have a squall hitting us and are over powered for the hydrovane, to save packing away sail for a 10 min squall I just hand steer if I can power through the squall.
