As a melanoma survivor, I agree with your long-sleeved top., and understand your sensitivity to sunburn. There’s no sense in sunburn.

[@sharonlabrecque6084]

Love the laughter you two share, it’s pure and genuine❤️🤗

[@cathrynmcpartland1752]

Saw the green flash THREE days in a row. Once anchored off St. Kitts and the 2 following days anchored off Nevis. We had 6 charter guests onboard and we ALL saw it each day.

[@dt-paz516]

Sea-3PO was a great suggestion.

[@Kuokoa]

Totally my favorite!

[@Gunnie1961]

Looks like a "SPUDNIK" to me! As always enjoyed the show. Khiara towards the end I noticed you scratching your arm, must be that ginger burn. Lather up with some lotion and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Safe sailing to both of you.

[@charliemcgrain]

Love your videos. Great fun. Just wanted to mention, I am in film, I direct, the girl in these videos is beautiful, obviously, but she has the x factor. She should consider acting for sure. Somewhere between Diana Rig and Ingrid Bergman, very beautiful, but the voice is really great, so is the smile and the way her face moves, how she expresses herself. Really quite extraordinary, star quality. It's rare. Love you both and love the adventure. Fair winds.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

I’ll have her on the next flight to LA with headshots under arm 🤩😂🤩 🏃🏼‍♀️!

[@WaldoKitty]

watching that sunset on the way out headed to Bermuda and just as the sun got to the horizon, i literally said to myself, "let's see if we can see the green flash." well, there was a bit of a dip in the waves and i missed it... then not even 30 seconds later, you two were talking about the green flash, too 😹 it does exist but the split second to see it is quite short... think of where the green band is on a rainbow and that's basically what you're trying to catch as the sun dips below the horizon... sail on!

[@bobbates6642]

I think the three people that gave a thumbs down must have been looking for something other then a sailing show . You two are doing so very well. Glad to see you are on a good long passage and having a wonderful time.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Thanks Bob! we are bottling up all theses good vibes! I’m sad to say some tough times are coming down the pipe soon. so it’s great to read stuff like this! While the going is good 👌😍

[@mostlysane9376]

I thought it was a well known fact, the green flash is seen as you look through the bottom of the bottle from your sundowner beer. Depending on how quickly you drink the beer, you can sometimes see a couple of them. :)

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Top comment 🤩🤩🤩🙏🙏👌👌👌 well played sir!

nice crossing....'love your happiness

[@somadevo]

I'm in the thick of it with heart problems. This week I had shock therapy to my heart to get it beating right as my heart electronics are messing up. The therapy failed leaving mr with burns on my back and chest from too many attempts. It was a nightmare and I demanded to leave the hospital and returned home to the two wolves I live with. I love sailing life so am thankful to watch yours.

Lando Cal-dinghy-an!

[@gilcore5245]

You guys have become one of now four sailing channels I really look forward too. Thanks! You must name the tender "love me" as suggested by Garry!

[@OleNavy]

It was funny... While you were showing the sunset I am thinking about the "Green Flash." And then I thought I heard you mention it but wasn't sure. So I listened even more closely because: 1. I am old at 73, 2. I am a bit hard of hearing. 3. I don't have cataracts because I have artificial lenses, and 4. I might be a little psychic, but I've never seen a "Green Flash" either!!!

[@andyallen7509]

You guys amaze me. Thank you soo much! That “first 24 hrs.” routine will save your life. Keep it up. I’m so envious, you’re doing what I’ve always dreamed about doing. Fair winds my friends. Thank you for taking me along. About the dinghy name; there was a wonderful children’s story published in Cruising World about 25-30 years ago called “No Name Dinghy”. That’s my suggestion.

[@davemclelland9292]

Good idea on the arm socks...if you are planning to live into your 60's and beyond you will be glad you used them :-)).....I'm a red head and didn't ....good for you......

Sir you could not have been luckier to find that Ginger. she's a hard worker and as long as people don't see the bruises... you'll be ok

Cataract story is funny!

[@rundown48]

A lovely sail and the perfect sailing video ...You both are smashing it !! I always knew this would be a top tier sailing vlog and im never disappointed..Best wishes and ...........Cheers .

[@johnwestacott9455]

Green flash: need a clear horizon , no haze or cloud. Need a sharp horizon line. Do stare at setting sun until almost set. If you’re very lucky you can see a double flash or vertical beam. Sailors claim once youve see the green flash you’ll never go wrong with an affair of the heart. Been watching for years and only seen a couple. Adam , you just have to try harder and believe.

[@barbaralienhard3490]

We're old and we've both seen the green flash!! 💚💚

[@cwbattaglia]

2015 on the USS Essex, we were in the Indian Ocean and I saw the green flash (stone sober) and I was 35 years old. My yearly eye exam was also up to date.

[@randygilmour]

Leslie, my sentiments exactly, but it’ll happen. The cream always rises to the top.

what an enjoyable video .... laugh on ... awesome!

[@nonaparker564]

Beautiful videography.What a great start to your passage !

[@bluedog1052]

'Kessel Run' or 'Parsecs' (a measurement of distance) for the name of the dinghy - wiki that, it's an interesting read and probably written by people with way too much time on their hands. Love from Melbourne, I look forward to each week you guys bring out a new vlog!

[@ChrisDoesWhat]

Great video! Funny when you start measuring your speed by the day and not an hour, guess the is the joys of being on passage.

[@garyc5483]

Excellent video. Glad to see the passage is flying by so far. Fair winds & regards from the UK

[@Astrick132]

Enjoy Bermuda when you get there! Was just there in July. Make sure you enjoy a bite at the Frog and Onion pub in Dockyard

[@JohnSmith-vk9sr]

The green flash is a real phenomenon but only happens under specific atmospheric conditions, it has to do with the way different wavelengths of light get bent in the atmosphere ;)

[@Rainmaker60LM]

The green flash is from tipping back your bottle of heineken as the sun sets

[@sheldonpenn1815]

I owned Tayana 42 hull 114 for 12 years. Made some long passages on her. It is great to sea you are finding out what that boat is capable of. The Tayana 42 where designed to make long ocean passages easily and quickly. If you had a feathering prop on her you would gain almost 1 not of boat speed.

[@teltech2940]

Best of luck on the passage , good upgrade on the dinghie.

[@mhensen1]

Well done, you guys were flying, love it when a plan comes together

[@ralphholiman7401]

Beautiful sail. I always feel the same way about overcast days. They just suck! Enjoyed your video!

[@ianadkins471]

Great vid....looking forward to exploring Bermuda with you!

[@KevinFlanaganQuinn]

3 of us saw the green flash in Key West one August evening in 2015. It happened at the moment of sundown and the 3 of us screamed from different parts of the boat, "Did you see it!" ... ages 26, 49, 61

[@cyclomaniac9086]

Beautiful video guys.... love the camaraderie and spirit coupled with a beautiful boat on the wind and sea. What a cool vib. Stay safe and keep smiling.

[@thomask6307]

Sockeye (Salmon) would be a good name for the dinghy.... as in " I once seen green when I was socked in the eye" !!

[@kamildundar9575]

You have beautiful wideos you're always watching I 'm captain of you turkey encoy 😎

[@englishmaninfrance661]

I think it's really sensible that you mooch around the boat for the first few hours - safety first :) The green flash doesn't always happen . but I've seen it once , when I was 34 (along time ago), in Antigua. Your usual smooth chaotic video (always brings a smile) keep it up ;-)

[@johnlampe3258]

"Slave One" is the name of Boba Fett's little ship. Since you trail it around on a painter, it seems fitting for the dingy.

[@johnlampe3258]

Or "Minimal Falcon" or "Mini" ...

[@chrisutley6756]

[@jrqv]

Millennial kestrel (the smallest falcon), or just Kestrel :)

[@colingrant7355]

Good idea! In the uk we have two falcons smaller than a kestrel; a Hobby and a Merlin, either would also be good names.

[@longbowken]

Bad Idea. We have a 1981 Tayana Vancouver 42 CC named Kestrel!

[@matage1010]

I've seen quite a few green flashes including when I was younger, lived mostly in the tropics

[@jimfox4707]

I like the previous name said by others “Dark Wader”.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

I like this one too! Think this might be a winner

[@mattcox5540]

I've seen the flash when I lived in the FL keys. I guess the high number of sunsets I saw there gave me better odds.

[@baldysanyokosuka5592]

For a more documented and historical account of the "Green Flash", refer to the American Practical Navigator by Nathaniel Bowditch under weather and weather forecasts. My copy is 1962 but you can Google it to find the same description.

It is a imperial Shuttle. It takes them to the Endor Moon

[@paulsampson6373]

For the Dinghy... Imperial landing craft Imperial landing craft were inserted into the Special Edition release of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The all-CGI ships were initially designed as part of the Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire multimedia campaign.

[@sonnylange3051]

That is due to the atmosphere acting like a prism. I saw it when crossing the Atlantic but the conditions have to be just right.

[@bertieb9510]

As Millennial Falcon has given birth to a little one perhaps the dinghy should be called “Eyass”. The name used for a falcon chick.

[@monkeybar88]

So I'm on a journey to watch from the beginning. 6 months since the last viewing?

I am sure you know the equation: ginger + sun = melanoma. Keep protecting your skin , girl!

[@jpdj2715]

For European car people, 1000 nautical miles is 1852 kilometers - about the drive from Amsterdam to Naples

[@jpdj2715]

At some point Adam mentioned 7 knots (nautical miles per hour) and this translates into 6 days for the 1,000 nm. But, car people have road works and restrictions, sailors have currents against or with them, and winds changing speed and direction. As knots are relative to water, the land speed may be less or more, depending on the current.
