On the MOVE! Sailing down the Pacific Coast! - Onboard Lifestyle ep.117

This week's episode of Onboard Lifestyle, we finished off a few projects on our catamaran and wait for a weather window to head out and get back to sailing. We were anxious to test our our newly reinstalled main and see how she performs under wind. It was a wild ride with our first overnight passage since our infamous log encounter and we are so happy with her performance as well as how well our crew faired. Time for a little celebration before our next port of call. Come back next week to see what we are up to! See you then!

I don't take it for granite anymore being a ' land lover ', just how much work and dedication it takes to travel across water than land and it means so much more when safety is an issue and putting a dent on the side of my car has a different meaning and cost, than a fender bender on my home.....Happy Father's Day Teal...

[@servicarrider]

No trauma no drama. Back to basiks. I'm good with that. Emma, you are so good at your announcements. A natural, really.

[@jeffreddick235]

Happy Sailing! Missed you last week.

[@kevincarey1076]

Basik looks amazing underway with her sails up!! Master chef and takes the night watch..Linh is AMAZING (she is a keeper Teal LOL) Fair winds and following seas Basik!!

[@waterfaucet9926]

Nice boom and main sail !

[@gavinp5229]

Happy to see you are back again, missed you last week. Once you have your cockpit enclosed, it will be so much better for all of you. What a long, long year it has been so far for you guys up on this part of the coast, cold and wet and waiting for those weather windows, makes it ever so long. Will it ever end😞. Hopefully one day you guys will be in a place with light blue calm waters and sunny days. We are looking forward to those days, in the meantime continue the journey, sale safe.

[@brucebaum1458]

All that weight reduction and basic construction of your boat makes it super fast compared to most of the barges being put out by the major builders of cats today. Makes me wonder if any cats today use the construction material that your boat is made with and if not why not, so many boats with balsa core waiting for the rot to start.

[@jerrykauffman8425]

We bought our Landfall 39 at Lake Union and outfitted her there which took a while, so when it was time to come to Vancouver we had to make a fast trip (MOTORING ).. 4 days and nights!!!! No sailing BOORING. Surprise---- The Columbia Bar was almost a mirror. Hope the rest of your trip down this part of the Pacific Coast is as good Thanks

[@AA-ve4vn]

Worth the wait guys, but we sure missed you last week! Fridays without Basik is like morning without coffee!! 😄

[@linhgobenyt]

Thanks! Sorry for not posting last week. We had so much to do prior to departing. Hope you enjoyed this one and I'm having ☕ with you!

[@tculture3670]

Drinking some Whiskey and watching Onboard Lifestyle, Thanks Guys!, and your daughter is extra special, Very Supportive.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@linhgobenyt]

Yes! Whiskey and a little Onboard Lifestyle. Emma says thanks!

[@EverHappyDude]

There you go!!!!! May the winds...

[@Sheila-vl9xk]

Waited not-so-patiently for this video but it was worth it!! Happy sailing, crew. So happy to be along for the ride!🌈 ☀️💨⛵️

[@amarieshearer7613]

Happy Father’s Day Teal. Nice to see you moving and glad you had a good sail!

[@linhgobenyt]

Thank you! And Teal says thank you too!

[@ps4peace]

I adore the PNW, Newport has some good ice cream too!!

[@rickmacallen4874]

Missed you guys last weekend ☹️ because there was no video

[@skywarrior00]

Missed you last week! Good to see you back on the move. Fair winds and following seas!!!

[@StevenPendleton]

I can understand the Captain here. He has not sailed in what at least 10 years? And now you do start down the coast after the first sail running into a log. And your sailing literally a brand new home made boat who has not proven itself whatsoever. We have watched Teal build this thing and I would assume we probably believe in his craftsmanship more than he does. I know I suffer from perfectionism myself and something is ever good enough where your not second questioning yourself. So congratulations to a successful passage!!

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

Happy Fathers Day Teal!

[@dion6146]

Bravo Zulu. Amazing sailing machine and capable, skilled crew! You guys rock.

[@bigwallyhdfb]

So glad you posted a video was wondering what you was up to thanks for sharing Happy Father’s Day Teal

[@patraic5241]

It was really good to hear from you today. I was a little worried. I know of the reputation of the Pacific NW coast. Having a boat as speedy as SV basik lends a good degree of safety all by itself. Happy Father's Day Teal. Safe passage.

[@reloksat]

Missed you last week, glad all is well!

[@johnkeegan6646]

Basik can fly! Lovely sight to see both sails deployed! Summer is here - SoCal and Mexico are calling! ❤️😁💥

[@stevehammond7485]

OMG! It's ok that you don't post every week, but since you usually do... I was worried that something was very wrong. I'm so happy to see everyone is ok. Happy Father's Day Teal.

[@linhgobenyt]

Sorry about that! We were so busy prepping and finishing up some projects before our departure, our video had to wait. All is good and we are back. 🙌

[@JamesBond-xq3tw]

Nice to see a preventer on the main .play safe

[@2902tina]

My husband asked me if I was sad now your gone. Yes, yes I am. Ten years, we will be joining the sailing life. Hopefully someday I’ll get to meet your family!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Sounds great!

[@MrMichaelcurran]

Ocean Side here we come. After all the pit falls of the WA. coast and Covid-19 The 4 of you deserve a heading down south. Happy Fathers day to you Teal and joy to your family.

[@cliftontibbits6644]

Way to go you guys,i am happy too see your sailing,take care be safe and may your needs be met when needed....

[@linhgobenyt]

Thank you Clifton! 💗💗

[@HopeOfJoe]

At about 5:29 min and crossing the bar.............Look at all those cute freckles !!!! :) :) :)

[@tealgoben1781]

Linh hates them as much as I love them.

[@franknicholson1400]

I'm from Brookings Oregon. I love the Oregon coast. New Port is one of my favorite places. Smooth sailing.

[@lorandlayton1756]

OH boy it was like I lost part of my family for two weeks . Thanks for being safe and on your way . Take a break and I will be looking for the next update .

[@linhgobenyt]

Sorry about that! We were pretty busy trying to finish some things before we casted off. No worries now, we will try not to miss anymore videos! Thanks for following our journey!

[@ruperthartop7202]

Fantastic, well done guys. Looking forward to see round the San Francisco area. Thanks for sharing

[@GeneWaddle]

You are traveling exactly the right way, in my opinion, taking the time to appreciate all that's on offer along the way instead of racing to a destination. That's sure the way I'd do it.

[@linhgobenyt]

Thanks Gene! Yes, it's not fun if we rush down the coast without checking out the Ports. So far, even with social distancing, we are meeting some great people and learning about a lot about these areas. 🤗🤗

[@markcampbell3311]

So happy for you guys!!! You've worked sooo hard for this and you're doing it!!! Safe travels and keep checking that equipment! Happy Father's Day!

[@okay777]

It’s really great to see you having your main sail with your jib sailing after doing your thing I’m really pleased for you 🙋‍♂️🖖👏😷🇳🇴🇬🇧=🇺🇸⛵️

[@johnrichard6802]

Great episode. Don’t understand why anyone would give a thumbs down. On your way down the coast, PLEASE consider adding Newport Beach as a stopping point.

[@M-Swede]

Interesting and very cool that Emma notices the structure of a bridge. Future Engineer perhaps? 🌁

[@linhgobenyt]

Emma loves architecture and has always been fascinated with how things are constructed, but she is more passionate about astro physics. We just try to give her as much knowledge as possible so her possibilities are endless. #knowledgeispower

[@raythompson5920]

Glad to see that you are finally heading south! Fair Winds and Following seas on your next overnighter!

[@davidthwaites9682]

Thank goodness for this !!! Missed you last week beginning to worry had something terrible happened ....... not at all thank goodness you were off doing what you love doing sailing. Take care have fun be safe.

[@brianjoyce9040]

So satisfying to see release from that dock. Go crew go! Fair winds. “It’s so fun to go fast” INDEED!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

It feels great to get back to sailing and yes, Linh likes to sail fast. We have to remind her to be more patient while the younger crew is getting their sea legs.

[@prof.m.ottozeeejcdecs9998]

Linh, I had to watch episode 90 to get the explanation for the name "basik" (written funny)🤓... Emma, it's all your fault, ha ha ⛵️ Nice episode, nice to see you very 'relaxed'🛋 🍷🥃. next project: Hard Dodger w. solar panels!

[@tealgoben1781]

The enclosed hardtop will definitely add comfort and will be on the top of the summer project list.

[@Tigersmundo]

*Real Sailing...Congrats sails look great as all of you!*

[@backthebadge4009]

Happy Father’s Day Teal....

[@tealgoben1781]

Thanks!

[@Riley_1955]

Nice video.....I liked that one bridge you went under also......Oh and love the freckles Linh.......Seems like Emma is getting bigger with every new video........You 4 have a safe start to your next adventure.

[@harleyfreeriderzynra9554]

Great to see you guys and even though i'm going to miss seeing Teal do his thing with all the refits, it's a well deserved break! Wishing you guys a happy and safe time under sail.

[@tealgoben1781]

We have so many projects planned over the next year as we travel...so excited!

[@Retired-nohurry]

Glad to see you on the move.

[@crustysworld167]

Congrats on this passage, don’t pass up Bandon, we really enjoyed that little town on our trip down last year. Brookings is a bit tight but Cresent City is a great town also. Cheers, MVPAIRADICE

[@OnboardLifestyle]

As much as we would love to stop in Bandon, its a little too small for us. We have already check these areas as we were mapping our our sail plan for the Oregon Coast. A lot of these areas have shoaling and would be hard for us to navigate into. We are trying to avoid the smaller marinas if possible.

[@NonSleeper_Occasional_Thinker]

cant wait till you get some cover over your cockpit area to keep you warmer, dryer and have some spot for lots of solar. Nice to see you sailing, Hugs From Canada.

[@joehimes9898]

“I tend to relax a bit..”. Who are you kidding? Lol

[@linhgobenyt]

Right?! Lol What can we say, it's part of his charm. 🥰🥰

[@alwayslearningthankyou2708]

I'm aware of many motor yachts and crew that have not survived simple day trips off the Oregon coast and Columbia river bar. I was out there myself on one of those days. The wind and cold dark seas change in a moment's notice and you feel thankful to reach safe harbor.

[@linhgobenyt]

During my night watch, the few times when I would turn around to look at the seas we were surfing off of, it was a bit intimidating. It was like a white wall. I couldn't even see anything else! 😳😳 The ocean is a powerful force and you have to respect her.

[@sailingarista]

Been wondering where you were! Happy Fathers Day Teal. Hope everyone is having fun,

[@garyallsebrook3493]

I was on a training cruise, on a navy destroyer and we attempted to go to BC, from Treasure Island. We had to turn back at Point George because it was so rough there wasn't enough crew, that wasn't sick, to properly man the vessel.

[@Pete7330]

Congratulations on getting your main done and finally getting mobile. I know you are happy about all that you accomplished.

[@linhgobenyt]

Thank you! And Yes, we are so happy to be sailing again! ⛵💗💗

[@VERTICALWisdom]

Awesome... What a journey. The boat is beautiful and the sail are perfect. You are absolutely right about that Washington Oregon coast - it is the toughest and very unpredictable. Took a boat down to race TranPac decades ago from Seattle in all my years on the water the roughest trip ever. All the best to you and your family.

[@JoeTheLion60]

Welcome back - missed you last week...

[@adambuttery7123]

Nice to see the main up and you guys underway!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Us too! Can't wait to get back out sailing. It is an amazing feeling!

[@geobely]

I'm glad you guys are sailing i can't wait to see you r design plans for the hard top from this video it doesn't look like that you going to have much heads room 🤔 I can't wait to see your design

[@OnboardLifestyle]

We are looking forward to the hardtop build. Being out there in elements without any protection is brutal.

[@captainmike808]

Yay Sailing !!!!

[@roscoejones4515]

I was worried SICK! (-:

[@jeremyduncan3654]

Looks like wing on wing is in the very near future! Nice!

[@whitneylake2107]

Happy Solstice one and all ! May the sunshine find you !

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Fingers crossed!

[@gman3725]

Seem to be getting good speed with little sail. Nice boat!

[@DC-si8xw]

Great video! From making refit videos to sailing videos, your content is top notch!

[@ausbinpippin5411]

Another great video and glad to see your sails up. Be safe and enjoy your adventure.

[@briandelaharpe7608]

Happy Fathers day Teal and all the best to you and your fab. family including Compass of course lol

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Same to you!

[@yonatanbenavraham6598]

I was getting worried but knew if you had gone down the coast you might not put up the Vlog at the normal time. Good to see discretion at work just sailing with a reefed jib. My favorite sailing family is finally on the move! Prayer and thoughts for your safety and health, may you see only great sailing from now on.

[@daveamies5031]

Teal is quite the cautious type, he wouldn't leave if he thought it would endanger his family or home (boat), I don't blame him, they are worth keeping safe.

[@linhgobenyt]

Thanks Yonatan! Sorry for not posting last week. So much to do and not enough time. We didn't want to slam together a video without care. Thanks for following our journey and new adventures! See you soon!

[@doomedpoet]

So let me square this up in my mind this lovely lady not only is a superb chef a nimble fingered seamstress and a sailor capable of manning ( or should one say womaning) a night watch too? Teal where did you find such a rare and precious gem? ( asking for a friend honest)

[@JustMe-pp1mp]

As usual- Small packages usually means good things and this young lady has it all. :-)

[@doomedpoet]

@@feetincheseighths not sisters I'd prefer a clone

[@tealgoben1781]

The Universe definitely rewarded me.

[@ceeceety2320]

@@tealgoben1781 Yes Teal, You've got the best of the best and you do sort of have a clone...Emma is gonna be all of these things too. We are really impressed with the great job you've done raising such a well rounded young lady! Together, you all make such a great team!

[@doomedpoet]

@@tealgoben1781 I'd like to have met in your previous incarnation you must have been an incredibly good person in your past life to deserve such a karmic blessing ~ perhaps you were one of the saints?

[@freaknas]

I love that smile!

[@chuckg7311]

Hurray. Compass got the most screen time ever. Of course it’s not enough but it’s a start. Oh going out the door where is Compass’ combo life vest and harness? Does he have an AIS personal beacon so he can be rescued? If he had an address I would ship him one. And on my boat, I rearranged the instrument and nav light switches into row top left so no fumbling in dark or emergency. Just another Teal project! Stay safe and healthy including you, Compass.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Please tell you Client he needs to review his contract and it is his in his best interest to participate when the cameras are rolling. We don't have time for his diva behavior and demands. There is sailing to be had here! Lol #beateamplayer

[@jmwarden1]

Boy it is good to see you guys sailing again, I thought that I had missed last weeks episode, but checking on your video log I seen that I didn't was worried that you all had come down with the virus.

[@logansharplin9245]

Woohoo go you four! (Compass too)

[@bartonrobinson4266]

Looked like a fun short sail, good seeing it all come together after so many weeks of toil and labor. Sails out and light winds be the order of the day, stay safe guys and Happy Pappa Day Capt Teal !!

[@rfdinesen4027]

Well done all! Congrats!

[@Cliffepoos]

Gald to see you are all OK. I actually worry about you guys.

[@drmoynihan]

Been across that Yaquina Bay Bar hundreds of time - some of them felt very treacherous. Actually, some WERE very treacherous - but I love that sound of the Whistler. And you just passed my favorite scuba spot in the whole world. South Jetty - South Beach. Yes, it is cold and murky but you can hunt/spear lingcods and grab dungeness crabs!!! I dive it year round.

[@linhgobenyt]

You are a brave man. The water is cold, but the clarity is spectacular. I wish we had warmer gear to dive here.

[@markfreeman7264]

I am so glad Y’all are finally sailing!!!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Us too! Looking forward to more sailing in our future!

[@jimk9417]

Glad to see you're on the move. Great episode. Stay safe :)

[@MonkPetite]

Perfect.. all looks awesome.

[@ericdonaldson2928]

Crabbing is excellent to the west and east of the NOAA ships. Rogue Brewery is a must visit. OSU has a great free marine science center that is just to the east of your moorage. Also good clamming on the beaches just east of you. Take the tender to the other side of the bay. Great marine store. Must eat at Local Ocean on the bay front.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

That's the plan while we are here. Unfortunately, OSU is closed due to COVID. Rogue Brewery just opened back up so we may venture there before we leave. We are all looking forward to do some fishing/crabbing/clamming as well. Thanks for the tips!

[@kb7pat]

I thought I saw you guys. I was fishing out of Newport.

[@tealgoben1781]

And you didn't stop by to share your bounty...for shame!

[@brianjoyce9742]

CHEERS! Having an adult beverage as well

[@dasimparmy2289]

Glad to see your finally sailing!!!

[@linhgobenyt]

Us too! Such a great feeling!

[@MrMarkymark005]

Make sure you wave as you pass by SF Bay! I'm so excited for you guys, finally moving. When you guys going to start working on getting the hardtop situated? You guys just seem so exposed to the elements. Looking forward to watching those videos!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Once the we get to the Bay Area, the hardtop build will commence. And you are right about being out in the elements is brutal. Linh and I were wind burned.

[@MrMarkymark005]

Onboard Lifestyle I can imagine! Thankfully it wasn't a really long sail. I'm really excited to watch you guys start building that hardtop. Basik is going to look so complete. Safe sailing.

[@dalejohnson9342]

The Pacific Northwest is one of the most dangerous coasts to travel, no matter if it is a sailboat or a motor yacht. The Sudden storms on the coast make it very dangerous and that is why, unless you are at least 100 meters and very knowledgeable you will have problems with insurance.

[@12VALVETORQUE]

Linh, I would like to hear more about this "Victoria Island" you speak of (14:50) ;-) Congratulations on the voyage and love seeing Basik with her sails up. She is a beautiful vessel.

[@linhgobenyt]

Lol, I know! Teal corrects me everytime! 🙈🙈🤣 I meant Vancouver Island. I always think Victoria BC. 🤷‍♀️😊

[@zillafunfun1576]

You need cushions for your helm seat!

[@linhgobenyt]

I'm working on it! 🤗

[@sabretom7594]

Bout time!

[@robertlaird6746]

Could you set up a hammock under your front cross beam? It looks like you have two tracks for your anchor chain. Is that for two anchor's? I'm very blown away at the speeds you got while you just had a sliver of your jib up. That's impressive. I guess it's both the design of your boat and the light weight construction of it that gives you that high performance factor. You missed Tillamook, OR where they have the Tillamook cheese factory free tour. That's a great place to visit. Another great place to visit would be the Redwood Forest. My guess is that your next destination will be Coos Bay or Gold Beach.

[@cherylfaulkner8763]

great episode - awesome family!

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Re the safety thing we should take a leaf out of your book. We are probably closer to the other end of the scale with a tendency to throw our kids over board and shout "Save yourself!" 😊 Maybe it's a New Zealand thing.

[@erichyney6287]

You did all the knight watches. Well someone got lucky 😕.

[@benwilliams174]

Glad to see you guys sailing south there is some places down the northern calif coast that does have some spots to anchor at but not a lot use to salmon fish on my dads boat therebis maps of the coast pf northern calf I hope that helps it has been a long time ago there mostly fishing ports

[@cigarmann]

Teal a bit loquacious .....me thinks he had more than one whiskey.....from one father to another Happy Fathers Day!

[@georgeemeny6123]

Washington and Oregon coasts are best viewed from the dirt side of the shoreline.

[@marceld6061]

Linh, I know you had a little wine, but it's "Vancouver Island" 14:53 where you will find Victoria- you are welcome back any time! With the jib furled 50% and you are still doing 5+ knots in light winds, SV Basik is going to fly if you let her go!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Lol, Linh always says Victoria instead of Vancouver because she thinks of Victoria BC. No matter how many times I remind her, she has it stuck in her brain. Its still pretty funny.

[@wallywombat164]

Jeez mate, there can't be much left of your boat by now, what with all that drillin going on. Every time i turn my back, youv'e drilled another few holes. Love you three.
