Our Longest Passage Yet! Sailing to Dominican Republic - S3EP13

[@BohemianBeatster]

Captain Taylor, a true Salty Dog of the Seven Seas. The cutest Captain as well.

[@joeechandi5334]

It's great to see Taylor's growth as a Captain and her crew as well improving daily all working as a unit.. that's what accomplishment is all about! Doing great ✌️👍

[@TaylorsTravels]

Thanks so much Joe!

[@roydenvickers]

For real. Tay you've become Captain!! Congrats.

[@mikemullay5622]

I always enjoy your videos. I have watched just about every video you have ever been featured in including Sailing Doodles and SV Delos. You have grown so much in experience, and expertise over time.

[@seafuryphil]

Its si cool to see how far you have come Taylor. Not only as a skilled sailor but as a confident person . Truly amazing. ⛵️🇨🇦🍻

[@terrybyrd4386]

You are handling that passage like a boss. Hanging out on Delos and the experience you had dealing with all the issues has really made you so confident. The fun factor is kicking in now too🙃

[@davidsheriff8989]

Keep going, I'm 76 and sail on others' boats...stay safe,

[@johndixon5097]

Some of that accomplishment is in the fact that you have pushed boundaries and come out the other side successfully. It is how you expand personal boundaries. Learn from them and understand where the limits of boundaries are. Enjoy the ride.

[@toddemory1702]

Been watching Taylor's travels for a while you have accomplished alot Taylor keep up the great work

[@frankschursky6585]

You guys killed this crossing! Lots of sailing and great videos. Congrats you are really getting the boat dialed in!

[@joeciciless1859]

I've been binge watching sailing doodles season 5 and it's nice to see you on your own boat! Love videos! Keep up the good work 👏.

[@Tomallanboyd]

Put in a battery combiner between your starter and house. Simple procedure. You get a switch you can activate in just the situations that you were facing.

[@wildaltarose]

You are much braver than I would ever be, and that says so much for you sailing ability. I always felt sorry when you sailed alone, it is so much easier with crew. Safe travels!

[@sailingschooners8668]

Where you gonna' stay for Christmas and New Year, stay safe...see Brasil's schooners and local boats..

[@GeneRossano]

Taylor, you are doing a great job as a sailor Captain. Bravo.

[@georgemacdonald8899]

So happy to see you adventuring to new places again! Wow have you had a lot of hurdles to get over to get to where your at, your fortitude is as impressive as your attitude. Nice to have the family along, it's a challenge to keep a team together, we all want to naturally run at a different pace, we all have our different strengths and weaknesses...

[@vaughangill7288]

Hi Taylor. You probaly know this already, but the trick to stop your main from jamming in the mast is to furl it into the mast tightly, don't furl loosely because that makes the sail baggy and is what causes the sail to jam when trying to release it.

[@brckmsn]

So great questions Taylor. You guys should feel relatively safe with Taylor on board as she has sailed with SV Delos on long passages and is a seasoned veteran now in my humble opinion. I would sail with Taylor any time. You never lose that knowledge or experience. Keep it going Taylor, we love you. How's Tiki? Congrats on a safe passage. Salute

[@beganny]

8:16 beautiful sails!

[@happygarden7111]

Really good comments from your new crew! I can tell she is 100% invested in learning all she can about sailing. (Same for your brother)

[@kellputt51]

Taylor, please be careful.... nice crew.. and you are becoming a great Captain...!!! Happy Sailing.. !!!

[@56thSPSk970]

Arggg, my Lass. Fair winds and following sea....

[@ddogg1631]

You've come a long way since seeing you arrive on Bobbys boat 3yrs ago. I agree with the sentiment that your growth as Captain is a great thing to witness. Equally, your editing skills of these videos has come along too. Nothing like experience to keep growing. Great job Taylor.

[@russellneville7145]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. You got the sails up, they filled with wind, the boat healed over & away you went. Wow, that looked so satisfying. Well done 👍. & Yes, my favorite spot is on the bow Sprit watching the bow push through the water. Nature at it's best.♥️♥️ SV Kiwi Lady Opua Bay of islands New Zealand 👍

[@samfoster4144]

Great video Taylor! I drunkenly left a slightly negative comment on one of your videos a few weeks ago but this one (and most of your other videos) was perfect. Exactly what I want from a sailing vlog. When I first watched your videos you were an amateur sailor and now you are a legit captain; making smart decisions, taking care of your crew, and still able to appreciate the fun and joy of it all. Good job! Also, big props to AJ; he's embracing cruising life in a big way and seems to be a real asset on board. Every boat is better off for having a dude like that on it.

[@markymarkdiscoball]

... you do you ... keep chasing your dreams!!!! ✨

[@alexs3447]

Youère the best of the sailing channels

[@mediannox]

Always nice to see your beautiful sails and rudder Taylor.😁🥰

[@mikeheard4859]

How do you sum up this master of her own destiny, beauty, brains, brave & above all a great entertainer, l can’t wait to see the next leg of her fabulous life, keep the news coming Taylor & safe harbour wherever it may be 🇬🇧

[@ryanmcdougall22]

Good video, you are empowering others and teaching, what a cool episode!

[@davidhernandez9985]

Happy holidays,🎅🏻 Taylor didn't realize how beautiful smoking😍 is that you are & let's remember to be safe sailing⛵. If I may make a suggestion if Imay can you mariner over to the sunshine state, of Fla😎, you could sail into either Tampa or Miami Bay.

[@davidhernandez9985]

Sweet,2023⽢, Taylor🐚!

[@paultabone2010]

You look so Happy Taylor 🦘🌸💖🦋 and loving your wonderful adventure ⛵️🏖️🍷🍷🌼

[@mikeh720]

Awesome timing checking Patreon! Have a great one Taylor

[@yellowboot6629]

🤗❣️ Thanks 💋

[@adamsmith1447]

Awesome journey. Cool, fun crew. I noticed that the foot of your main sail doesn't seem to be in the track of your boom. Is this on purpose? Maybe it isn't designed like that not sure but all that I have rented usually slot into a channel in the boom.

[@jimmybatts3300]

I'm glad you're getting done Taylor, been watching and following along with you ever since you started on S/D's. Ya'll be safe out there. ❤😎👍

[@Skyhawk945]

If you're having sea sickness issues consider trying the pressure point wrist bands they work really well for some people. Have fun, stay safe!

[@paulcollins9197]

Taylor will captains out you both. She is good

[@itsmePassport]

Welldone. You are an inspiration.

[@lindawoodall822]

You're brother is a real valuable crew member! Not to mention a great brother!

[@TaylorsTravels]

That he is!!

[@remyyamabushi1473]

15minutes de vidéo qui passent toujours trop vite. Toujours agréable de vous voir. Un jour on se croisera peut etre en mer ?

[@CaptainKseadog1]

You have come far "Grasshopper". Your skills and confidence has greatly improved since the Doodle days. One suggestion would be, invest in a wind mike.😁 Safe travels! Capt K

[@sarahholt5575]

So proud of you!!! And where’s hubby? Did I miss a video? Does he have a boat too?

[@samharper4289]

Well done sweet Taylor! Safe travels, blessings and love always to you and your family!! 🙏❤

[@karlfair]

Nice job, Capt.

[@lentongrovetrust5201]

Videos seem to have the same issues each time, the win noise is crazy, but that does detract fog the fun

[@kevinstonerock3158]

I’ve heard tell that someone is more susceptible to seasickness when you can’t see the horizon at night and keep your senses in sync with each other while manning the helm. That may be why Brian lets the nugget hold onto the wheel in rough weather since she used to be more susceptible when younger. Great passage Taylor. Stay safe and fair winds.👍❤️🙏😎

[@shirleyboy8859]

Great sail Taylor.... You are getting good at this... Stay Safe... :-)) xx

[@justincoleman2740]

Good job team!

[@arottie4097]

I'm lovin this adventure the three of you are having! Did you say that is your brother? Thanx for the share.

[@bobkmit1826]

I think she started the trip wearing your old top Taylor...cute!

[@traveller9625]

Taylor what a great trip you guys are having. She seems to sail very gentle at the helm. You are living life the way it should be done. BTW I have traveled about 70,000 miles at sea in my lifetime, it was on an aircraft carrier, but it was at sea and you can get seasick on any boat if you dwell on it long enough, LOL. Love your stuff

[@TheSunseeker007]

You got very good crew managment skills Taylor🖕🖕

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Taylor as a Canadian you should explore Cuba. It's relatively unexplored by the channels. Americans can't go there.

[@bennya.martinez3788]

Taylor I think you guys might get to see some whales in Samana around this time😱 Best wishes love the videos!

[@scottmills3403]

Awesome journey -safe travels.

[@chevywv9735]

Good job sailor I’m glad y’all made it in safely 😅

[@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643]

Congrats on your passage. Those night shifts can be rough on those not used to working at night.

[@cessna177flyer3]

I can tell you as a long haul, international freight pilot, you NEVER get used to circadian rhythm disruption. We humans are not wired for it.

[@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643]

@@cessna177flyer3 Yes, I work night shifts and evening shifts for 18 years straight. I was pretty sure it would have killed me early if I hadn't finally left that job. Many of my coworkers toughed it out and paid the ultimate price of an early death.

[@aeasus]

Well done captain Tay, well done indeed. ;)

[@taperry326]

I doubt you will see this in all the comments, but this particular video, watched just after a Delos episode made me realize one of the things that makes or breaks a channel for me. Talking. Especially the interview or introspection type. Talk while you are doing, or short explainers overdubbed. Just talking into the camera, or interviewing crew members is a sure way to lose my interest. Maybe I'm the exception, but I though I would share the observation. Much luck and happy sailing Taylor!

[@menmyrc821]

God Bless safe travels 👍

[@jgatkinson744]

Ben sailing over 40 years and for the of it it seams that all people are different some can hang up side down and never get seasick others have a problem with that it’s kinda like sickness in general some people have a excellent immunity against anything some don’t

[@reinesj111]

Hi, I have an in mast mail sail. It is very critical to flatten your sail by pulling the foot of the sail. I will increase efficiency specially up wind. I notices the your was not flattened. Cubalibre from Puerto Rico. .

[@petermerrick5644]

Taylor did you get rid of you Suzuki 6? If so why? I have a 310 rib looking for a new engine. On paper the 6hp Suzuki looks good it’s light wt and fuel efficient? Thanks! Be safe have fun!

Do you currently have an AIS System or Radar on your boat now?

[@mrwes100]

Captain Bryawn would be proud. 🙌

[@jeandoucet5565]

Hi Taylor can you confirm what size of solar panels you have on your arch do you feel windage

[@allanhover5008]

Please please be careful ❤️

[@cannacast4204]

What size is this boat?

[@drivertester1]

When one of you are on the night watch, healing over, what is your requirement for personal safety?

[@mikemullay5622]

Looks like Gypsy Moon's Bimini top is going to need some emergency surgery pretty soon.

[@captainjimolchs]

Nothing a little sail tape, needle and twine can't handle. All the better sailboats, and many motor-sailers, have such aboard.

[@richguitarmusic6781]

Hey Taylor some of the audio on this video is not so good. Investing in wireless lapel mics would be a great improvement for your videos, and would help your viewers hear more clearly what people are saying. I enjoy your channel. I've been following you since your Sailing Doodle days. 🏖️🌊🏄⛵✌️😎

Taylor I see only one comment on the counter and count 12 in total. YT is not nice keep it up girl and crew

[@Corey-pd3mi]

Hmm, being up on deck, not tied on, no one at the helm, one in the cockpit sleeping, everything is safe, until it’s not 🤦‍♂️

[@captainjimolchs]

It's a wheel, not a helm. There is a difference. The autopilot is handling the wheel. Even sleeping, one senses a change of course and conditions . A midship cockpit is very difficult to climb up from, even when one wants to. Wake up, look around, return to nap. Most likely, there alarms if anything approaches.

[@Corey-pd3mi]

@@captainjimolchs calls himself captain and doesn’t understand what the helm is, you’re not a real captain 🤡

[@maclovin61]

Where's Kiki??

[@obelcasas1541]

❤

[@cdnsoul5808]

I have a suggestion for you Taylor. Since you will be sailing a lot in Spanish speaking islands for a while, wouldn't be great if you could speak Spanish with the locals? If so, why not use some of that spare time while on passage and learn to speak Spanish?

[@jeffwengren4255]

My kinda badass woman !

[@massillonmarine]

Do you not have a massive LED headlight system because you’re afraid of Pirates? Seems like a no-brainer to me.

[@WojciechP915]

Headlights on boats are cringe.

[@StarTraveler649]

Pirates are scared of headlights ??

[@massillonmarine]

@@StarTraveler649 Being found by them

[@captainjimolchs]

The "Hippie Mace" you suggest is forbidden by navigation regulations!. Because: 1) It can be confused with required lighting. 2) It interferes with night vision of both your watch and that of oncoming vessels. This is why ZERO vessels on any waters are so equipped. Pirates? they have radar.

[@stephenpolos1689]

Good video 😀 just my opinion I think you need better sail's they don't seem to work well think boat would move faster
