IMMEDIATE REPAIRS NEEDED DURING ATLANTIC CROSSING (Part 2) - Ep 170

[@lancehymers4674]

Wow, I’ve been up to the top of my mast when safely tied up in harbour, and the gentle swaying from the light winds translated to big movement way up top. Doing it in big seas, offshore, in the dark? You have balls of solid adamantium, my friend. Stay safe. Lance in Oakville, Ontario. S/V Great Escape - Newport 30 - Mk ll

So you could definitely imagine what it'd be like, nooott fun haha

[@jerrysmith4461]

I am so impressed how you can catch and clean a fish while sailing and keep the boat so clean while doing it.

[@SailingJibsea]

Keep watching. We run out of water and catch a fish, you can imagine the frustration that was for us 🤣🤣

[@zenstitch9972]

That darn Spinnaker Sail! MacGyver forever!

[@peterinthegong9437]

Enjoyed the episode guys. Steph, you are an asset to the team, always there working hard at every task.

[@davidnichols147]

Fantastic fix on the Code 0, great fish Taco supper and more, these guys ROCK ON to the Caribbean.

[@leonaudacity5313]

You guys are both living life to the fullest

[@SailingJibsea]

only way to do it!

[@matthewmorgan9269]

IT tech: Macbook Pro GPU, is overheating, probably dust in the fan too. Open up the 10 screws under, lift the backrest, and blow out, use eartops if necessary, reassembly. Before, check if any wiring between the screen and the board is fully attached. its usually also there dust like to gather. Could even be the CPU/GPU paste that gone old. They usualy do after 3 years. Coolingpaste is pretty cheap. Solves many issues. If you notice any changes while working, set the mac aside on a cooler place, wait 10-15minutes, then after that you can continue. Put a book or something hard under that lifts it up. Keep it away from any salt. When getting internet, check for an update. If your using 1080HD on videos, or above, this usually occurs on older macs the machine starts to change colors, flickers, have strange sounds.. Due to the load on the GPU. Set it to 720 if possible. A cool top with two fans - with usb plug, saves alot of laptops. Can be found cheap in wallmart, amazon etc.

[@SailingJibsea]

thank you for this! will have to give it a try

[@smulismuli7976]

Haha you have Belgian Duvel beer glass...cheers!

[@barrycashman7001]

From a fishermen Travis when you reach land and find a decent fishing store, or maybe online, spend some good dollars on a fielting knive, and a good sharpening stone,you won't regret it spending the money. when fielting fish

[@kinhpham1846]

Good combo

[@robertnixon3816]

Now thats the very best of passagemaking! Life in the good lane! On your way back to the land of warm!

[@SailingJibsea]

You got that right!

Back in the day in the mid South Atlantic on a passage from the Canary Is. to Saldana, South Africa, I had to climb the mast to jury rig the top fitting on the head stay. The stay was only connected by only about 5 strands of wire when I discovered the problem so I was really lucky it didn't part underway and possibly lose the mast. Fortunately the winds and seas had subsided somewhat, but it was still pretty rolly at the mast head. I was singlehanded and sure glad I had mast steps.

[@HopeOfJoe]

[@scottjones5221]

Beautiful episode you guys are a joy 😊

[@mvanvliet4953]

Just 'found you'! Enjoy my sailing videos as no longer can get out there anymore. Warmest regards! Margie

[@SailingJibsea]

Amazing!! We’re glad you found us and were able to share the adventure with you😊

[@pmacgowan]

Nice fish, pity about your spinnaker damage , keep sailing 🙂

[@SailingJibsea]

relieved it's repairable and useable!

[@williamhicks8621]

Just a great video, what a romantic setting for dinner!! Wife and I are off to Aruba Feb 6, so have been watching your vids to get pumped for the ocean!!

[@SailingJibsea]

Have a great time!

[@markamsterdam539]

Nice video

[@thomasbrasse3145]

Nice passage documentation. Nice job on that repair!

[@SailingJibsea]

Thanks!

[@FastAttack1001]

Nice mahi ! Great episode!

[@rainfinger]

Mindelo, Cabo Verde is a surprise anchorage with excellent holding and friendly locals, suggesting it for nxe time. We are presently anchored in Mindelo, heading to Brazil.

[@mikefox1332]

Enjoyed, as usual. 😍

[@williamhalling7744]

Ya'll be safe. Looks great. Enjoy

[@jeffmooreD40]

What is the weight of the material in that ASYM? (.6…..75?) Looks like really light air material for an ocean down wind sail. But HEY! It’s getting you there! Congrats! Great to see you using the headset for up the mast! I wish I could talk my wife into using a set of those.

[@SailingJibsea]

tbh, not sure exactly, but definitely light and saving us in these light winds. Headsets are a true game changer, especially in situations like these

[@JanDeRoeck]

How i see you drink DUVEL it's a real men's beer best in the world. Greetings from Belgium

[@TheunisCrouzer]

Awesome video! Thank you.

[@rickdoner5181]

Why is it that it always seems like breaks happen at night? Someone needs to tell Murphy to take some time off lol Glad you were able to fix it.

[@SailingJibsea]

No one works harder than Murphy!

[@svbettybelle]

Get a brine stone, saves alot of knifes. :)

[@mvakleko]

Nice video. You guys feel very comfortable now with the passage and being on video. Just curious do you guys take any electrolytes while doing these long passages?

[@SailingJibsea]

Thanks! We just drink AG1 but not specifically anything different for long passages than our daily

[@NorthIceMan]

Hey guys--nice to see another great video! Question--> where did you get the great looking headsets for communicating on the voyage? I believe there are even LEDs on them?

[@SailingJibsea]

They’re Hollyland solid come c1s. You can find them on Amazon. The green light you see is just the light indicator that it’s turned on. We’ve done a video about them. Episode 126: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3jLdYuIm6-lmqM

[@NorthIceMan]

Ah yes-I remember now--thanks a million! Will definitely buy a couple--J & I need them for when I'm "hanging on the anchor" and she is sipping a martini at the helm!

[@jeffreysearle2996]

I hope you gave him more than just eggs for that mast climbing stunt. 😳😳😳

[@MARIOSAILOR1]

Up the mast in the night, play with lucky...for me, That was a very irresponsible decision🤔
