She didn't want us to leave! - Free Range Sailing Ep 169

[@LittleGuitarConcert]

Your editing is so well done! it's often hard to translate through the lens of a camera what it's truly like in such epic conditions, but I really had the feeling that I was right there on the boat with you. Cheers!

[@glegooful]

Wow! 'just discovered you two and am in awe of your sailing .......... from an old mariner in NE England Cheers!

[@CuteGoldenTiger7773]

Congratulation to both of you "Wonderful Smiling Lady" It was an experienced to be remembered, continue the sailing...

[@PetterEriksson94]

Unbelievable, Mirrool looks like a brand new boat! You guys have done an outstanding job, I'm in awe of your skills.

[@PastorwithoutaPulpit]

I have to say you've done a wonderful job on the refit and your little boat is looking simply amazing and so much more comfortable. She kind of reminds me of a story we read in grade school as children here in the states about the "Little Engine that Could". I don't think your little boat thinks she's little at all and with all the love and skill you've put into her I don't think she is. I think she easily punches above her weight class when it comes to things like comfort and ability. I'm also very happy to see all the added safety features and how much you both respect just how dangerous sailing can be. Another thing that made me very happy was seeing just how nice your new water maker looks and that it's been gone through and installed correctly. Many people may not realize just how important and safety enhancing it can be. Now no matter what as long as it's working properly water will no longer be a concern. I'm so happy for the two of you living the life you've chosen not something that was forced onto you. I wish you nothing but fair winds and safe travels, God Bless...

[@chrismalkin4070]

You two are amazing. Beautiful and respectful in all ways. Cheers

[@ramabamaboomboom]

Happy to see the added overboard protection. Congrats to you two from Huntsville Alabama USA.

[@h3llrayzor59]

Anyone else lean to Starboard to help keep them from flipping? Especially @5:45... I sure did!!! 😎 Stay safe out there you two! Cheers 🍻

[@AlienX69]

I've had some landlubbers on my boat that would freak out when the waves started coming over the toerail .... 😁⛵

[@kranzonguam]

Yup! Leaning enough that the wife was looking at me funny! (At least she had a good reason this time!!🤣)

[@AthelstanEngland]

I tilted my phone... I think it helped!!

[@MiQBohlin]

I just don’t know who is most excited about your new rig! 🤩✨😎💥🥂

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Judging by Mirrool's performance, she is!

[@PSMTom]

What a year it's been! Can you believe how much you've accomplished on your boat? Must be nice to be out on the water again.

[@saintnick1552]

Best actual sailing video I have seen in quite a while.... tremendous loved it ...y' all did great ..tks for sharing

[@necoonengut6099]

May your wind be easy, your head clear .. I have been watching you as a couple since the first episode .. Lovingly! from Silivri, Istanbul/Turkey. Good luck for new Jurney...

[@mickannieobrien2803]

Another great sailing video, we are looking forward to crossing the Bight with you, stay safe. Cheers Mick and Annie.

[@pmnfernando]

...and those 6 initial minutes is why we sail!

[@327365hp]

This is the definition of a sailing channel!

[@joshuacollins131]

Just watched all the refit videos in a week. You guys have done an incredible job, and thanks for all your knowledge. I have learnt a lot. Now, to watch the rest of the video's and see how you went crossing the bight.

[@stephenfletcher6464]

The boat is looking fantastic

[@Devo491]

Great vid, brings back memories of my cruising days. It's not all beer and skittles, even with all the latest gizmos.

[@tophatter15]

You’ve done a sensational job on your refit!! She looks bloody great!!!

[@richardmcbride538]

NOVEMBER 6, 2021: WOW! You guys are terrific sailers, adventures, givers and teachers. This video was exciting to watch from the comforts of home. Yet, "permission to come aboard " enters my dreams. Please allow me: Troy you are a remarkable individual on many fronts, safety first, thorough preparations, depth of knowledge, and a sweet disposition shared with many. Of course, without question, the world can sense your partner's hard-fought abundance of complementing skills which PRODUCES and delivers wonderful videos. Thank you both! Richard

[@shelleyrichards9028]

Triple reef came in handy. Still such great tiller handling!

[@captainblack1021]

nice to see the safety AIS MOB get some explanation , thanks for that.

[@carlvandenberg140]

Safety procedures and devices so well thought out superb...

[@glennbrown1961]

Twas but a sea breeze. Back in the sailing days of old the barges used to use the early morning breeze down the channel to leave Hobart and then use the afternoon sea breeze to come back up channel home to Hobart.

[@johnpowell3392]

Your skills and ingenuity are always inspiring! Keep the videos coming 😎👍 John- Panama

[@cphollingdale4412]

Glad to see you guys using the AIS units... one of the best devices ever created.

[@Joshua-dw8wu]

Nice to see you sailing again. 🌻

[@donnakawana]

Boat looks outstanding. Wow, is all I can say. That was one heck of a shake down sail..The refit was outstanding just class!!✌🏻💗☺️❣️

[@eddyvanbeek649]

When you speak about fremantle , it sets me back in time, we left fremantle Attadale when i was 6 yrs and moved to Holland.

[@carolbell8008]

My father’s Submarine towed a Brittish one they rescued to Freemantle!!

[@shelleyrichards9028]

What a great shakedown!

[@johnparker7945]

Good to see you on the water again!

[@math7608]

I spent a lot of time at Kettering marina as a kid. Just found your channel and am really enjoying it.

[@carolbell8008]

Hi, I have just found your fantastic sailing show and wow! You have a perfect set up for a couple The music and photography are simply amazing and your boat is the perfect size to be in the water while still being luxurious. The sailing sounds are very soothing and beautiful. Love Love this!! 🌹🎶🌹🎵🎵🎵

[@kevinlytle6215]

Such a wonderful refit! And what a great proof of your dedication to doing the job right. The time you took to explain each little detail is much appreciated as I imagine none can say it wasn't worth it now! And!... Your sailing! Looking forward to the new adventure. Stay safe, stay happy and thank you so much for what you do for us!

[@martynrandall7652]

God nice welcome back to the water. Nice way to break the new sails in lol.

[@PittwaterMowing]

Another great vid Mirrool is looking great

[@julianneharrington3680]

Troy and Pasqi, you have done a fantastic job with the refit. Looking forward to your next video

[@boyceroper9055]

Such an accomplished couple

[@sailingwiththeerros9139]

The wife and I were at Kettering marina only a couple weeks ago. Lovely Marina. Shame we were not there earlier and got to say G'day and thanks for the vids.

[@edmilsonsilva7283]

You and Troy are a incredible sailor. Be calm and efficient in such sea conditions it’s not for everyone.

[@dominicosbahr4339]

huuray the best chanel ever so hapy your back on

[@TOPPGUNGAMING]

I love your boat you two did a great job on restoring it. Good to see you two on the water again. Stay safe!😉🙂

[@lawneymalbrough4309]

That was one wild ride mates. Things like that nake you feel younger is you can pull it off

[@headonz]

The photography was fantastic .This channel is just great ,like being there with you :)

[@Viendopiedra5029]

Well no one said she was a dry boat! Great Refit!

[@skyboys9814]

Mother Nature , Just saying, Missed you, Welcome Back! Then She smiled and said, nice job on the refit, lets put it to a test! ............. Good Job!

[@shelleyrichards9028]

I participated with my captain and crew in a 1 year refit of an islander 36 then raced across the Pacific from san Francisco to kaneohe Hawaii some 2600 miles if I remember correctly. But the refit is something I remember so vividly and is what I know gave me the confidence to make such a long passage. When you know every inch of your boat...you can handle most things. My best to you as you cross the southern ocean a crossing most sailors will say is the most difficult. ❤

[@robertmackenzie5478]

I started watching your channel from episode one three months ago and have finally got up to date today. I have enjoyed the ride so far and am looking forward to your next adventures. Good luck and fair winds.Rob MacKenzie SV Wild Dove, Largs, Scotland.

[@SteifWood]

Reminds me of when I had invited a never-before-sailor GF for a chill 2 day return sail back to my tiny sailer's home port. We had been tied to a private dock downwind on an island and hadn't been able to make well-cooked meals since the stove was broken and the constant rain made it impossible to fire up the bbq. "Ok, we got to go" I said. Since we had been completely sheltered from the wind I didn't notice the true gale blowing and hoisted both main and jib without any reefing. O'boy we were blow sideways just out of the leeward. My GF freaked out and managed to turn the boat and head back to the dock faster than Mr Bolt. So, at the end of the day, my real life take-home lessons were: 1) never underestimate possible wind and/or avoid/forget the forecast, 2) if in doubt, reef in time, but best 3) start out with 60-70-80% sail until you understand both the current and the predicted weather situation 100%.

[@brianb6603]

Excellent as usual!!!

[@gordonbrown2836]

Thank you for the provisioning guide

[@Sharpiesailor31]

Epic start to your voyage! As a sailing couple you both are unstoppable and quite bad ass. You truly depict what it means to be “real” sailors, especially on a small yacht beautifully refit sailing in notoriously rough waters. I’m certainly impressed from the comforts of Florida’s west coast. Fair winds and cheers.

[@johncrisp6683]

You must feel wonderful being back out sailing.

[@charlessharrardiii7086]

I moved to a town called Troy Ill. USA Setting up my free range retirement. Good job on the refit!

[@ontheruntonowhere]

Hello from Troy NY! I'm doing the same.

[@minibusadventures5483]

Great episode guys, wet n wild ride....lol

[@brentroud3909]

That is real sailing love it

[@horstkotte6114]

Yeah, never sailed Tassi but in the baltic, the rule of thumb is up to 3bft more than forecast for certain channels / areas in certain conditions. If it looks like a funnel and the wind is blowing into it, Bernoulli is giving you hands-on experience on the basics of fluid dynamics... Some local weather reports include this, most don't, so there's plenty of folks biting more off than they can chew...

[@charlescadwallader6106]

Covid blew way my retirement plans to circumnavigate in a Panda 40 and I had to return to NZ from Cairns. Of course, my beautiful Panda had to be sold…. Here I have picked up a rescued H28 for $500 (it was all I could afford once investments etc. had taken their toll and will take another few thousand to bring back) but your videos have inspired me that, once finished, a 28’ boat is capable of many things..! Watch this pace, I suppose, and thanks!

[@elizabethmaggs3412]

Amazing ! What an exciting sailing boat. It seems to handle like a dinghy. Thanks very much - I'm an armchair sailor now and hooked! Liz

[@juanplayas606]

How important is it to be a handyman on board 👌

[@svpapillon2462]

Excellent Personal AIS Tutorial...Glad to see you both back at sea

[@RoyClare]

You two haven’t lost your sailing ‘touch’ … but wow, what a return to sea!!! 🤣💯👍🏼

[@TheBeggFamily]

Wow! That’s getting a bit rough! Glad to know you came through it with minimum mess! That little device is as great safety aid. Good choice!

[@sandaysunday7997]

It's so refreshing to see Mirool in action!😊💕

[@jacquesdelaporte1097]

Great episode guys!

[@haclil]

Waaaa--cutting through that chop was so exhilarating--I was *right there* with you guys, just the antidote to a dreary day of sirocco/mistral!

[@ianinvancouverbc]

good to see you back on the water loooking forward to more open water sailing

[@andrewkeir2282]

Congratulations guys Mirool looks like a new boat.

[@SlimandSophSailingNakama]

Epic good on you guys keen to see you back out there.

[@richmondkelly4167]

Your boat is a true beauty now ... She's waiting for a great run!

[@patrickmaloney6440]

Wow! That was a shakedown in the channel! I love your videos guys... they have this warmth in them that is just beautiful to experience. Stay safe.

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

FUN STUFF!!!! Looked like a FAST Trip NO WAY are you a Jinx Pascale😁 it Looked Like Troy was Having a BLAST👍👍

[@kranzonguam]

Wow! Amazing footage of some hairy conditions! Mother Nature wanted to see what you remembered! Looking forward to the upcoming episodes! Take good care!

[@miguelpaixao1317]

Quite some amusing strong winds!! To start again.

[@bertski60]

i almost fell off the couch at 5:40. nice to see you guys back on the water where you belong. good luck.

[@svbarryduckworth628]

We have an older version of the personal MOB AIS units in our PFFs. It seems they have improved them quite a bit. I felt ours were extremely fiddly and am not at all convinced they will actually go off when the PFD inflates. Still better than nothing. They are 3 years old now. I suppose they will need replacing one of these days. $250/unit is money well spent even though we never needed them. That Jybe at the end of the video was a bit gruesomee. Ouch! Good thing you have all that new stronger rigging and a fresh replacement boom now.

[@yachticus]

its not like you need it - but its kinda fun watching you guys getting a touch up from Heuy - welcome to sailing in Tassie they say - it'll be fun they said. bwhaha fair winds guys

[@shaunglendinning]

Great to see you back on the water again! Safety is always paramount so glad to see you are using the 'AIS' devices. Wishing you both everything of the very best going forward. Cheers for now.

[@Cal247]

Great shakedown and thanks for the thumbs-up reminder.

[@David__]

Great to see you back out on the water :) Wow, what a way to test everything out on your maiden sail! Nice work Rob @ ClientSat for helping look after Troy & Pascale too :)

[@waynemcphail7825]

[@markearl481]

Nice work on the cable covers under the electrical cabinets.

[@jeffmorton9220]

Watching this video was a nail biting adventure in itself! There must have been some scary times when it seemed the sea was going to swallow you up!

[@davesmith8286]

Great video real exciting sailing...Fun Fun Fun. Also glad to see your safety gear can't be too safe.

[@ivanjones8144]

Absolutely 💯 to see you guys back to adventure phenomenal job you've done on rehab looking forward to what new locations are ahead God bless 🙏 and keep you as you go 🥰❣

What a great channel in so many ways.

[@allenshepherd5225]

Nice to see you all sailing again! My long sleeve t-shirt is awesome! Thanks!

[@robertbeck4762]

I enjoy the quality of your work and how shipshape everything is on board. I spent a year with my 5 year old and wife on a Tripp designed 28 foot Bright finished hull sailing from New England to lower Bahamas on to Eluthera and Long island. As with your boat we sometimes sailed "thru" the seas as you also do. Sail on safely RNB

[@mandmmilling3716]

Great to see you guys making waves again. Grats on a great refit!!!!!

[@twoeagledrones]

Spray hood worked out well!

[@hoosierpete]

The boat is looking good, and what a day for sailing that was.

Looks like propper fun mate.well until you want to make port.
