LEARNING THE ROPES: Sailing with beginner crew on our small yacht - Episode 49

[@a7rommis]

The editing and story telling are getting better and better. Additional camera angle by 3rd person plays some part in that as well. Liked the "queue the Spanish music..." - spot on. PS new hatch looks also neat.

[@marta_mourato]

Always refreshing to watch you guys! Your love and eager to enjoy life in its purest form warms my heart. ❤ from Portugal

Hey Marta thanks for the love! We are so glad to hear it’s hitting the right spot ❤️ best wishes - Josh

Fellow steel boat owner here & new sub 😊⛵️⚓️

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Awesome mate! Welcome aboard, so glad to have you here :) Josh

[@JimWalkerMusic]

That fair maiden bit was hilarious! Phoebe has such beautiful hair, and those electric blue eyes are mesmerizing. Josh, you're a luck man mate! You both seem to be getting along quite well with your boat. Learning quickly what the vessel can, and can't do! Good on ya! Episode 49 already... wow. I first tuned in around #22 or so. Time flies! Thanks for sharing!

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey Jim, Phoebe here! Thank you for the compliments 🥰 We’re certainly learning more about Innerbloom in every passage - and it definitely helps having an extra set of hands aboard so we can afford the mental space to actually learn rather than just trying desperately to sail relatively well and survive 😂 It’s all a journey and we’re loving every second, cheers!

[@joelovejoy7998]

Absolutely musical barrage of nautical vocabulary from Josh in minute 3! Well said mate

[@fgansell]

Always good content. Thanks for sharing.

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Glad to share mate!

[@stevecrombie5357]

I see you got your comments section back, you bad bad people. Never to understand why it was taken away. Josh, we have all had that hangover that reaches another level. You looked so sad. Glad your mate got to come out and play. Careful with the hair Pheobe. Stay safe. Thanks for sharing. ❤🙏

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey Steve, good to see you here again mate! Josh certainly looked disheartened 😂 We don’t drink much if at all so it’s quite humbling being hungover again hahah. We think either someone was spam reporting that video or YT removed comments because there was a child in it. Regardless though we’re happy we have it back 😍 Thanks, Steve! Phoebs

[@davidmedley9652]

Your batten pockets in the mainsail should have a flap inside the leach end of the pocket. The end of the batten goes under this flap to stop it coming out. Put your finger in the end of an empty batten pocket to see if you can feel the flap edge. Hope this makes sense!

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey David having done exactly what you said I can confirm that makes perfect sense. Cheers mate! Josh

[@peterr4464]

Cool episode guys. I'm a week behind. Hey Josh, can you alter that headsail halyard to pull it from one side before finishing on the winch?. Standing where you are at 13 minutes you'll get flogged by the clew and sheets. Spanking your arse is fine, but be careful of face and eyes

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey Peter, good call mate! I’d love to have all the lines diverted back for control in the cockpit. Thanks for the thought mate! Cheers, Josh

[@peterr4464]

@@Thenewkidsonthedock Josh, you won't be able to get the sail halyards running back to cockpit. I meant to make them come out of the mast on the sides

Love your videos! High quality, funny, interesting. We did a similar trip 20 years agos and it was hard enough learning to sail and survive on the water so I for one appreciate the effort you put in to making your adventures available to us arm chair dreamer cruisers. Maybe on day we will get out there again, until then I am happy to live vicariously through your adventures.

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey Chris it’s Josh here, thanks for you kind words mate it really is fulfilling hearing feedback like yours. I’m so stoked to hear you’re enjoying the videos and that you’ve had a similar experience yourselves. I hope this brings back many fond memories for you. Cheers mate!

[@daveamies5031]

Always love it when your vids drop, thanks for another great one, so nice to see you learning and enjoying sailing..... There was a time in the 1990's when people thought sailing would die, that old farts lime me would be the last generation to want sail boats and no one in your generation or the following ones would ever sail, I was hoping that wouldn't be the case. so thank you for proving them wrong and proving that sailing is as relevant now as ever 👍👍👍

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey Dave, it’s Josh here. As you are happy when our videos drop we are happy to see your comments! We always appreciate your words and thoughts. Sailing has been relevant for a very long time and it will remain to be so in our lives! We never grew up with it in our families but we sure will be bringing our kids up with it. We are stoked to have this platform to share and inspire crew to explore this fantastic hobby/ lifestyle. Cheers mate

[@gertboerman3666]

On windgenerators: They are expensive, quite loud and do not perform downwind. You might consider a hydrogenerator. Also expensive though.

[@saschaeuler7883]

Another great video !!! Your intro is very thoughtful, you're getting better and better on the go girl!! The best of your videos is the funki style you bring it over !! Wishing you nothing more then the best in this world fair winds and safe anchorages!!! Keep on rocking girl !! You and your sexy boyfriend are living the life !!!

[@johncarr950]

Hi guys, to stop the prop from turning and causing extra wear on the cutlass bearing before shutting the engine off select reverse, then turn the engine off. Remember to select neutral before starting again and only do this when actually sailing. The alternative is installing a folding or feathering propeller.

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey John thanks for that tip mate I’ll give it a go, I’ve tried forward before but never reverse. Appreciate the advice :) Cheers, Josh

I watch a fair bit of boatie content and was a bit confused when you popped up as recommended just now... mostly because I've been subscribed since the start! I had been unsubscribed tho, i hope this is a glitch at my end and not something that will affect your numbers. All good now, subbed again. Keep up the great work guys.

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey Troy thanks heaps for that mate! Sorry we lost you there but it’s great to be connected again. It isn’t the first time people have been unsubbed. I think there may be a bug that has been causing issues hopefully YT is all over getting it fixed. Enjoy catching up mate! Cheers, Josh

[@TheGrottieYachtie]

Glad you enjoyed Airlie - a great place to hang out for a while. Looking forward to your videos of further north - that's where the crowds thin out, the wind picks up a bit and land based anchorages get further apart, but in return you are rewarded with some great spots and more serenity. Battens sound fine - you just need to keep them seated in the pockets, sometimes there is a strap and buckle on the leach end and the batten has a slot in it for the strap to go through, but stick to what you have - it has obviously worked for a fair while! Be aware if they do pop out and start to work free they will flick out very quickly with any sail flapping, carry a few spares!

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey Grottie, you’ve said it perfectly there mate. Couldn’t agree more. This cruising ground was more challenging but absolutely rewarding. Thanks for the tips on the battens, I’ll be keeping a closer eye on then in the future as we don’t have a spare on board 😅 cheers, Josh

Howdy from Central Texas, USA! Sooo... 🤔 If I comprehend correctly, y'all's dighy is collapsable, right? I realize it's quite simple, however, my vote for the name of the dighy is: "Origami" of Innerbllom. Not bad, eh? 😂🤣😂 ✌️❤️🚀🤠

[@robertlaird6746]

1st woo hoo. Love your videos. When your fold a boat starts sinking over and over again than you could call it Sinkey like Sailing Zingaro did. You should change your name to New Kids Off The Dock because you untied your lines. You need to get rolling furling for your jib. I thought you were on the West Coast. This must be old footage.

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey Robert! Certainly could call it our folding water maker because it’s always making water 😅 I said that to Phoebe once but we came to decide that for it to stick we couldn’t remove to too far from the source, plus we will have to be on the dock at some point 😁 a furler is on the wish list big time mate! We haven’t left the east coast yet :) Cheers, Josh

[@jenellebrunning8128]

You guys make me absolutely miss the water 😢 I was there same time last year doing exactly what you guys are doing. Unfortunately...my partner and I didn't connect like you guys do. We fought alot when sailing as seems I could do nothing right. But the adventure and water freedom was invigorating and endlessly magical! Phoebe...I thought you would just be another stuck up lazy boat b*tch offering nothing but t*ts and a*rse... but damn girl... you are fkn funny, smart, sassy, witty and such a go getter! I live for your screen time as you were made for tv my love!! So inspiring and real! Josh is one lucky duck as you are some special kinda chick! Keep It always real guys xx

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey Jenelle! Thank you so much for your comment. I'm so sad to hear that things didn't work out for you on your own sailing adventure, it is honestly so much harder than people would expect. It can bring out the best, or the worst in relationships. The exhaustion and miscommunication can be so straining on a couple. And as a woman, especially if we don't have trade skills or the practical knowledge required for sailing, it can make things really uncomfortable. I'm fortunate that Josh is really patient with me and allows me to learn in my own way so that I can be the best first mate I can be - with what little practical skills I have. But he also acknowledges that as a woman I have vital qualities to bring to the adventure that the masculine doesn't. We both have our roles 💜 I'm honoured that you're finding joy in our story and videos and hope we continue to uplift you on this journey! Thank you for the kind words, all my love, Phoebe x

Yikes, thought your first mate was going to get her hair caught in jib sheet/winch. ʘ⁠‿⁠ʘ Occupational Hazard ᕙ⁠(͡⁠°⁠‿⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠ᕗ.

Hahaha my hair is an extension of me, like a 5th limb, so I have a pretty good idea of where it is at any given time. I haven’t got it caught in any lines or winches yet, but I certainly won’t want to learn this the hard way 😂 Might have to chuck it into a deli hair net next time

I would like to register a complaint with the Editor about the nudity on this channel. There are camera malfunctions during each gratuitous display of young nubile flesh. Focus appears to be lost. Could you please address this at your earliest convenience. Kind Regards, Blue Mountains landlubber 😉

I'm sad you have so little faith in your content you are resorting to selling T&A. I'll see myself out, "Do Not Recommend Channel"

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey mate, I’m a bit confused because you couldn’t see tits nor ass in the vid, it was heavily blurred! You saw less than if I was just getting around in my bikini, which I don’t do much of if you’ve seen any of our other videos 😁 But regardless it’s got nothing to do with not having faith in our content…we’re just young people in our 20’s, in sunny Queensland, living our dreams on a sailboat and often if not all the time naked. For a lot of people that don’t get the opportunity to do that or don’t live in climates or environments that allow that freedom, it can be really nice for them to vicariously live through us and imagine they too are lying on a rock in the warm sun naked eating strawberries. We’re not going to change the way we are already living just because we do YT - we’re going to make YT revolve around us rather than the other way around so we can keep our authenticity and happiness 💜

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

@@pokeytoaster7029 I see 😁 definitely no T (except for Josh’s lol, double standard)…sometimes a bit of A…but that’s expected living on a sailboat and always being in a swimsuit. Absolutely no pornographic content, but we’re very flirtatious and cheeky by nature so there’s certainly content that reflects that 😁 Our content on patreon is very personal: what we get up to on a daily basis, the flirty between takes, the more intimate moments that you’d assume a couple in their 20’s sailing together would have. We’re sharing the genuine love and connection that we have that some people out there would not receive in their own personal lives - if you want it that’s great, if you don’t then don’t sign up to it 💜
