Leaving in a STORM (of sorts)

[@forgetn]

24 knots...wow. When the pro of Outremer say, we should stop, after that ride, good idea to stop for a few days. The boat looks amazing, what a beast

[@KKop]

Episodes like this are gold. GOLD! Love to see the sailing at higher wind speeds.

[@GregoryStrauss-tk7pe]

Glad to see Megan getting better 👍😀🙏❤️

[@bombadil776]

I always love with Nick the Meteorologist makes an appearance.

[@franciscoeliasbermudezmole8536]

3,7 away from Marbella. Have a good sailing trip.

[@GregoryStrauss-tk7pe]

Geez....!!!!... what a nice boat....❤...and fast too....💯🌟🏆👍😀🙏⛵🌞

[@CarlosRuivo]

What a beatiful and fast boat. Outremer 55 is The Boat! Enjoy your trip Guys. Godspeed.

[@GregoryStrauss-tk7pe]

Kudos to Marc and Julien.....💯🌟🏆👍

[@spikeafrican8797]

Outremer really went way above and beyond. Can't even imagine the cost of their multi level blessings! Im glad to see them bestowed upon such fine folk. Best of luck!

[@patrickadair7025]

And away we go!

[@rustysteel8714]

Outremer rocked it....comping the hotel while Megan was sick! Kudos to an outfit with ❤! 👍🛟

[@fredcanavan3864]

Thanks!

[@ReefRunner1]

This is definitely a different show now! Congratulations!!

[@NJ-Cathie]

I understand why they brought on board the O’Kelly’s: They needed an onboard weather man 🧍‍♂️! 😊 Safe Travels! This is going to be an amazing adventure.

[@cliffbenford]

wowzer , that boat is A BEAST 🤪 that update was great, thanks! you probably know that Awen did a daily vlog of their crossing last week, any chance that you could post a bit more regularly than weekly? we'd love to share the ride with you and promise not to be at all demanding with editing.

[@2DLAKE2]

Aft camera view is amazing!!!! Never seen a catamaran with the sea looking like a powerboat view! 💯

[@hakmanp.8702]

There 1 second clip of this video that I simply loved ... Just some Americans from Oregon making Tacos in a boat While some French rap is playing... As someone who loves to travel I live for these little moments

[@davidbauerdorf1324]

That 55 is mooooovin!! Dang she is fast!

[@philgray3443]

That boat is fast!!! That is Andoo Comanche speed.

[@mz2288]

After this video most of us will be looking at aft of O55’s…WoW she rips through the sea’s!! Speed class for KZbin. Looking forward to the rest of the adventure!

[@jodymooney255]

What a trip, in a good way! The universe has provided you with a life time experience! Loving it! ❤

[@timwoods603]

Moon Shot is a beauty and super fast. I'm hoping you guys end up with her as your home. Fair winds and following seas.

[@gekker]

Seems like it's just a delivery, no?

[@colby_graba]

@@gekkerno, it’s a business deal between the O’Kelly’s and outreamer. They will continue to sail the boat after the boat show by themselves, for an unspecified amount of time, one of the agreements was getting the boat to the Miami boat show, that’s why outreamer is so involved with this passage.

[@victoria2944]

@@colby_grabaIt’s for one season.

[@donhanley1339]

Outremer have been fantastic with you guys, the attention with the sailaway preperation customer care etc is the last word. When I have the funds they will be on my shopping list for syre. Looking forward to the adventure, what a step forward . Wit you all the way, ENJOY.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Loving it! Thanks! So glad Megan is feeling better!

[@mountaindweller9118]

"Head South until the butter melts then turn right"! Wishing you a safe passage. 🙏⛵

[@tomladdus9264]

You are flying!!

[@SkylinersYeti]

Having 2 experienced captains that know the boat. You are going to learn how will the boat can perform in winter conditions. Great experience, Bee safe.

[@benefitthirteen]

Glad to see Megan is feeling better. First leg looked intense but quite the ride. It'll be exciting to see how the rest of this adventure plays out. Be safe.

[@kqschwarz]

WOW, what an incredible trip!!!! No one makes sailing content like Megan and Nick. THANK YOU.

[@abcxyz-e4c]

bon voyage !

[@Walden_on_the_Water]

Outstanding closing place-shot!

[@UUBrahman]

Theoretically, one could water ski behind that Outremer doing 23.5 knots, might have to use both engines to pull the skier up out of the water.

[@johnmooney9444]

Fantastic

[@silverfoxes65]

That boat is a rocket! You two are going to be so spoiled.

[@Locajabra]

Happy new year to you both. An Atlantic crossing is a hell of a way to start. I am really excited for you guys and I’m looking forward to your comments about the boat. I’ve never heard from anyone who sails a performance catamaran before. Fair winds.

[@claudiopanisello]

Holly and Stephane are also sailing a performance catamaran from Outremer. They just did a daily video of their passage. You can follow their adventures here www.youtube.com/@SailingAWEN

[@DJewell]

Thank you. Very well done. The boat performance and support speaks well for Outremer Catamarans. Be safe, stay healthy and happy.

[@steveturansky9031]

I really like the sailing at speed in your videos. What a beautiful, fast boat.

[@RoySATX]

So happy to see Megan getting well again and all of you off to a fine, fast start. This is going to be an experience for sure, but one you are well prepared for. Have fun, stay safe, and stay clear of the Gibraltar Orca!

[@richardhall7822]

Brilliant 🤩

[@jvphelan1]

Looks like you have met your challenge. Good to see the boundaries being expanded.

[@Sommers234]

Looks like you're a speedboat with those shots from the stern.

[@rideluck]

Bravo team! Onwards! 😊

[@brettl88]

This is going to be exciting!

[@clarkkent772]

Wow!😊

[@elizabethmadrigal4389]

Beautiful boat, super fast and comfortable!

[@Useless_Knowledge07]

Moonshot appears to be loving the 23.5 knotts, like she is showing what she was made/designed to do and obviously well.

[@Four_Words_And_Much_More]

There are very positive things in this experience for you. Perhaps a little reminder will help. There are several kinds of stress that have been identified. And they are markedly different. I noticed from your facial expressions and tone of voice that you are experiencing eustress. This is defined as moderate or normal psychological stress, and is interpreted as being beneficial. The reason it is beneficial is that no stress is boring and people frequently enter mild depression when there is no external stimulus. Thus the moderate and normal stresses of preparing to leave the dock are beneficial to the two of you. You are also experiencing a strong positive feedback from having a strong professional team working with you. But even more positive is the team is effective at working together. Well done to you and all your team.

[@GabrielBarcelo-b7n]

great video, well explained

[@Ourgrandvacation2023]

You guys are Rock stars 🎉

[@JosePedroEspinosa]

Wow! That is my dream! Trying to hit twenty-five knots is what gets my heart racing when I sail. Until now I have never achieved it, but going over twenty knots is wonderful, whether on a beach catamaran or an Outremer. That's the right way to sail! Floating at less than 10 knots seems boring to me unless you are going at the speed of the wind.

[@sheridanlee6836]

Fair winds and following seas

[@clayfarnet970]

I can’t put my figure on it, but the O’Kelley’s don’t seem comfortable or they are still a bit under the weather. Good luck guys! I really hope this deal works out and the pace calms down.

[@harlandfazardo799]

I had covid over the holidays. Ug no fun. Nick you luck out so far, my entire family eventually got sick. Very contagious.

[@pb8484]

The fun is just beginning ⛵️

[@kgsails7102]

Looks like more favorable winds (direction and speed) towards the Strait of Gibraltar and the Canaries early next week so a couple days' rest is good for everyone. That is an incredible boat and handling 25+ knots of wind with full sails is mind boggling!

[@thewedword]

So darn proud of you both, would you believe a year ago that you'd be doing a transatlantic? Unbelievable! Were ALL behind you, so make the best of it! You've got this, and oh yea...the music is hittin' too...Sail On Baby 😊

Good luck may your voyage be safe and uneventful, looks like your having fun.

[@rphardy1924]

Okay so that boat is a rocket 🚀 ship 😮 So fast!! Very exciting to watch and happy that you have the team on board! Lots of skill! Be safe! ❤

[@soloflight75]

Talk about a symbiotic relatiinship... I'm not sure who got the better deal. Outremer got you back on the water but these Videos put Outremer on my list of possable boats. Brilliant win win.❤

[@MikeC19100]

Cngratulations on 1) getting better and 2) for starting the official journey to the boat show in Miami. I’ve always wondered why boaters couldn’t use something like cherry bombs or something similar to keep the boat-damaging Orca’s at bay. I don’t know if it would work, but I haven’t heard anyone doing anything like that to chase them off. The amount of damage, plus the sunk boats they have caused is way beyond just a freak event and it has become a life changing experience for many boaters in those waters. Be safe, stay healthy and have a very safe journey.

[@bryanmyers9977]

So excited to see you finally do a blue water passage. Don't worry.. you can handle it. Just one day after another.. and another.. and another. We called it "Groundhog Blue" (Groundhog Day movie ref). The special part is the disconnect from the modern world and zoning out in nature for an extended period.

[@SailingPardonMyFrench]

Good to see you both sailing again, and what a sail! Less editing is good and brings us closer to the action -- Safe sailing!

[@clayfarnet970]

I can’t put my figure on it, but the O’Kelley’s don’t seem comfortable or they are still a bit under the weather. Good luck guys! I really hope this deal works out.

[@vanderbranderRC]

Just loving these new episodes. Great to see you guys out on the ocean, continuing the journey again. I’ll be living vicariously through your videos….

[@jplflyer]

What an amazing opportunity for both the two of you and Outremer. They're getting some amazing exposure of a fabulous, fabulous boat, and you guys get to spend time sailing that boat. It was the right decision to accept their offer.

[@tats4ever]

So glad I just found your channel! Can’t wait to continue watching the episodes wishing you all the best and safe travels.

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

Still exciting 🙂

[@bobhaze5324]

Finally off the dock and headed west (sorta). Averaging 200/km every day for a month sounds like a lot. Thankfully you have about a week of wiggle room before the show. Safe sailing to the whole crew!

[@andrewjames7616]

Thankyou 👍 and good luck

[@jeffgurney1]

Thanks guys I enjoyed seeing you finally under way all the preparation and stocking the boat seemed like fun. Weather looks interesting for you. Look forward to stage two ❤

[@MK-gr9qz]

Not easy but really really a lot of fun🏋🏻‍♀️🤟🏋🏻‍♀️

[@Sailing-BC]

Funny, I hade the same problem with the stove on our X5 but after our crossing from Tahiti to Canada BC I found it out with help from outremer. Now I know the secret how to turn the stove on.

[@billwilliams9527]

Exciting to follow you sailors, so glad Outremer 55 happened.

[@justinstevenson5807]

I love the shot of your wake.. as your rolling the patron credits. Please don’t change that!

[@AnthonySanders-r4q]

Such an intense ride everyone was so cool and calm. Can’t wait to see the next episode.

[@micahwatson9017]

I could watch that aft camera for hours! This is going to be epic! You are very fortunate to have expert crew mates onboard to learn from. Amen made the crossing on their Outremere 52 in 16 days from the Canaries to St Martin I believe. They had a rough time getting out of the Med too.

[@thermathome]

Great episode. Another channel recently crossed, but confusingly about 200nm north of the winds you're targeting, so I'm looking forward to this.

[@carlosvallejo4926]

Hello my dear friends!! Great video. So intense!! All the luck in the world. Cheers from Canary Islands 👍😍

[@Susan-fg9jb]

Second this! Love, love, love this video. Glad you are both healthy!

[@petervana1]

Impressive boat and crew! It's so much fun to see the boat being driven like this, and how stable things are. I hope you get to the boat show, and if you do, I'll make a point to drive over from Naples to see the boat. Good luck.

[@valeriesorrells]

So glad Megan is better. What a fantastic opportunity to learn first hand on how a performance cat runs. Safe travels to you and the crew.

[@christip20]

I can’t believe a car rental agency would try something like “administration fees” AFTER the fact, they know if they tell you something like that beforehand, you’ll choose to take your business elsewhere…. Which is what I’ve made sure doesn’t happen to our group that’s coming over this Spring, & made sure everyone else knows who not to use. I’m really getting excited about this passage getting started, especially with so many different people & personalities. I think it’s going to be so much fun & exciting and I know without a doubt that just looking at the food is going to make me hungry, because after seeing the little Street Taco’s or Burritos, I’m already starving! I hope you guy’s had a Happy New Year!!

[@roch145]

Renting a car in Europe is a very different experience than in the US. The insurance is especially confusing. As is the nomenclature. Understanding the fine print of the contract is always challenging in another country. Sounds like the admin fee is basically a deductible. I will say I had a rental car in Spain that was damaged in a parking lot, and I had all of the optional insurance. I did not have to pay any additional fees to cover the damage. Not sure if they would have had a different experience with a different car rental company.

What great footage off the transom... at speed. A beautiful yacht!

Dream boat, dream team. Enjoy the crossing guys and we hope to see you in Miami. Cheers!

[@whitneylake2107]

What a sweet ride. I know I have said this before ... I want Outremer to give you guys this cat because a) You deserve it, b) I think the folks at Outremer know you're cool, c) You are capable, d) Everyone gets good publicity, e) There is a good vibe about this arrangement, f) All of the above. Oh, did I mention there was O'Kelly coffee aboard ? (there should be). Happy 2024 !

[@windycurrent]

Dang! I have not heard of a production performance/cruising catamaran slicing and dicing at an average speed of 23.5 knots! I have never sailed on a catamaran like this before and Outremer so far seems to have designed a very safe, practical and functional performance catamaran. Cannot wait to see and hear your thoughts about the boat crossing the Atlantic in winter.

[@OGbrewser]

This is when you crank up some Bob Marley and we be jammin. Dang that must be fast!

[@YTMegiddo]

Oh man, that team you had looks like a bunch of great people!

[@SailingSisu]

The boat looks absolutely amazing, like a beast ready to tackle anything. And when Nick the Meteorologist makes an appearance, you know it's going to be an epic episode. Fair winds and smooth sailing ahead! Keep up the fantastic work! 👍😀⛵️🌊

[@Itsmesaritamc]

At minute 3:21, of you’ve ever seen Groundhog Day (Bill Murray), looks like you’ll be getting one of these big blue things!!! (If you’ve seen it it makes sense)

[@keithsanders3475]

Great update! Still amazed at this opportunity! Looking forward to seeing more performance cat sailing! I think I could keep up with you in lighter winds on my Hobie 16, but probably couldn’t handle those gusts that you were experiencing!

[@blueclue57]

I never did follow what happened to the Outremer in Australia, but I am happy that you are having this experience.
