Some really good shots of your boat there, lovely to see you both enjoying yourselves.

[@SailingJibsea]

Thank you!

[@margaretyeung1833]

Love your video. Love the waves, the wind, sailing 8 knots, the fishing, the lobster.... Enjoy your new life. It is so much fun and promising.

[@timcampbell6008]

excellent vid

[@georgeroach7499]

Enjoying you videos from A cold Cobourg Ontario.. wishing I was where you are.

[@bobuncle8704]

Safely to the Bahamas. Congratulations. Sitting here on a cold rainy Canadian winter morning and being happy for you guys enjoying the warmer weather. It’s handy to be handy for sure. Would not have been fun to not be able to fix the furler. Job well done. Now that I saw Steph’s dessert, I have to make something for tonight too. I don’t want to be left out.

[@paulchristie3314]

Great to follow another video. We sail a Hunter 380 and have the same plan to eventually leave Hamilton and do the same trip. Keep posting and lots will follow!

[@mickar15]

Always enjoy your videos.

[@SailingJibsea]

That makes us so happy to hear, thank you!☺️

[@jimmiller611]

[@SailingJibsea]

Thank you!

[@dennybe]

Watching from the Philippines, you're doing great. Hope to sea you out there once I get back to the states and get a short refit done.

[@cleangreenearthforall9405]

[@Shawn-oj9ld]

Thank you both for the videos and I hope you have a Happy New Year.🤞😊😎🥳

[@SailingJibsea]

Happy new year!

[@nat7114]

I’ve finally figured out to add a comment, lol. Been watching you all along...you’re doing amazing and we look forward to seeing what you’re up to and where you are on the journey every week! 👏 ⛵️happy new year, awesome that you got to spend it in the Bahamas 🍾 🏝

[@SailingJibsea]

Hey! Amazing! We’re glad to be able to share it with you. Happy new year!

[@Tim8mit]

notes: lion fish( known as poor man's lobster in Australia) clean with plyers and gloves, lobsters best to twist the tail off when fresh and BBQ the tail split in half. If you don't want a flying Champagne cork , hold the cork firmly in you hand and slowly turn the bottle and you will feel it and control the release. Good video, Montreal here glad to see really nice people being ambassadors for all Canadians

[@SailingJibsea]

Thanks for the tips!

[@cruisingdirtstar]

Happy New Year from St Catharines Ontario! We are really enjoying your videos, love learning along with you. Looking forward to seeing what’s next. 😁

[@SailingJibsea]

Thanks for following along!

[@MrAl1903]

another great video

[@lacfilms8345]

I have been following your channel recently. First posting. Glad you made it to the Bahamas safely. I also mentioned your adventure to some friends of mine down there- the O'Kelly's on Clarity. They are a bit ahead of you in the chain, down near Warrick Wells in Exuma's as of yesterday's conversation with them. Seek them out, they have a world of knowledge about cruising in the Carib. after 25 years sailing the region. I was hooked on them after this episode: "Need Space"? Our Secret spots Best anchorages vid from about a year ago. Sundowners on the Stern if you meet up with them later in your travels? Tell them- I sent you to them too, they'll get a kick out that! They're a really cool couple. There are a few other cruisers in the region, you might enjoy that I follow too. GBU Sailing. Beau & Brandy Sailing. Millennial Falcon Sailing too are scattered through out the travel area ahead for you. One other person who has imo a world of knowledge to pass on to other cruisers- is Capt. Rick Moore on SSL a fellow Canadian down near the Island of San Andreas, Columbia- off the coast of Panama. He might help you all too after 100k miles of sailing. Enjoy the adventure and the rum- the life style, during these Covid times. Hurricane damages, restrictions, boat repairs on the fly- limited supplies in port, cash layout... to sunsets in calm waters all in one day with many more ahead for you two. Stay safe, live and learn and then turn the motor off, tighten up the sails drifting along the turquoise blue waters, and maybe with a few dolphins escorting your bow waves to your next port of call. Every sunrise is a new adventure. Fair winds... LAC

[@johncollins5021]

Nice boat. I have a hunter legend 43. See you in the Bahamas end of this year. I am new to your channel. Enjoy watching.

[@sarahdebrincat8218]

you guys are the cutest ! Happy New Year

[@SailingJibsea]

Happy new year!

[@philandlyra3365]

Just came across your channel currently binging from the beginning, at first we thought Steph was Filipina, anyways no reason to mention that? Anyways enjoying so far, thanks for sharing with us land locked people❤️🇨🇦

[@SailingJibsea]

Thanks for watching us! And Steph got that a lot growing up bc of the deep tan! 🤪

[@sooth6119]

6:28 >>>> enjoy your meal (shit on the plate) LOL

[@M-Swede]

North Bimini is only about 60 miles from our house. Great diving and fishing. Although it's best not to take your car.

[@cloover333]

OMG OKG WHAT KIND OF FISH DID YOU GUYS CATCH FOR DINNER?! I WANNA KNOW HOW WELL IM dOING GUESSING WATCHING ALL THESE AMAZING SAILING VIDS!!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS

[@SailingJibsea]

We think it was a skipjack tuna! Glad you’re enjoying our videos!☺️☺️

[@cloover333]

@@SailingJibsea omg thank you so much for getting back🥺 guessed a bigeye tuna HHAHAHA definitely got too cocky 😂😂 but absolutely loving, hope you guys are having a beautiful morning, evening, or night✨

[@dougduke2589]

So you don't lose your fisfing rod overboard, tie a light line around the reel, and fasten it to the rod holder on the railing. Good luck!

[@alofns]

Thanks for the video. Great drone footage under sail. Curious what you use to attach your SUP to the rail? Stay safe.

[@SailingJibsea]

Thanks! We use two L brackets that clamp to our stanchions

[@baja27100]

Great video❤️could we see a tour of your boat? Make, length, year.

[@SailingJibsea]

We may do a video later on but for a mini tour, feel free to check out Episode 4 :)

[@SailingPauHana]

That was a fun video to watch. Nice job making the repairs under way. How did you fix the loose rigging aloft?

[@SailingJibsea]

Thanks! Climbed up and tightened them

[@tommygunz8692]

Good job with the repair while underway....We’re did you get that washing machine.?...Also why is the Captain doing the wash....

[@SailingJibsea]

Thanks! We both help each other out all around!

[@michaelledford3315]

When you get a chance, buy a toilet plunger. Drill 5 holes in it about the size of a quarter. Also get a lid for you 5 gallon Home Depot bucket. Cut a hole in the middle of the lid big enough to get the plungers handle through from the bottom. Now you have a wash machine for your clothes.

[@SailingJibsea]

Great idea! We’ve seen the plungers but we have figured it’s been a good workout so far before we get our hands on a spare plunger 🤗

[@lauramitchell1106]

Hay Guy`s Happy New Year .... S/V Willow here .... Wondering Where you guy`s are now ... It`s Thursday The 14th ... we are in Sampson Cay

[@SailingJibsea]

Staniel cay!

[@FlyJFY]

You guys are pretty cool! How long are you in the Bahamas for? What's next?

[@SailingJibsea]

Thanks! We are in the Bahamas and the next stop will be determined by the ever changing covid regulations country to country

[@FlyJFY]

@@SailingJibsea Yeah I totally hear you! We are Reconsidering our cruising schedule also. We have a jeannesu 54DS in Miami and we will probably shove off for the keys this week

[@strongarm_aus5486]

👍🏼🇦🇺🇨🇦

[@svbarryduckworth628]

What happened to the shroud? Did the turnbuckle just loosen up? It sure looks windy over there. Here there is barely enough wind to turn the wind turbine right now, and lately if we get an amp out of it we are doing good. Last week we were seeing hours of 5-8 amps untill it would shut itself off when we got the batteries charged over 14v. Shame to have power to spare and nothing to spend it on even with short days on the solar panels.

[@SailingJibsea]

Yes it loosened and we did not have safety rings on it (which have now been put on) It’s been calm the past couple of days finally, but winds are supposed to pick up once again tomorrow Are you guys still in Vero? It’s nice you guys have so much power! We can’t remember what it’s like to have power to spare lol. Every light would be on, the microwave would be used and even the TV haha

[@svbarryduckworth628]

Good that you caught it before it was too late. We had a rigger in Oriental show us a couple of years ago how to use brass welding rod bent in a big U inserted through the safety holes and then bent in and tucked away from any possibility of snagging. One piece per turnbuckle. It is pretty slick and easy to do and also to remove. You can buy that stuff cheap in a 3' tube at welding shops or Harbor Freight and it is a lifetime's supply. Those darn rings ste so expensive and are oftentimes messed up when taking them off or just getting snagged and bent out of shape multiple times in a sailing season unless you tape over them. Then moisture gets trapped under the tape... We just upgraded our turbine to a new Primus Air Breeze. It has more than tripled our wind power production. When it is blowing 20+ it can produce 200w all day and all night. You guys probably have seen a lot of 20s there in the Bahamas this time of year LOL. The wind will die down next month there and will be really nice by hurricane season (untill a storm comes.) Are you going to head further South or go back North this year? We are heading to Maine probably this summer, but will take our time getting up there. Even after doing the East coast multiple times there are still a lot of things we haven't seen yet.

[@DavidTheMechanic]

What is gravel??

[@SailingJibsea]

Gravol motion sickness med sold in Canada

[@DavidTheMechanic]

@@SailingJibsea you guy are my favorite channel now. I really love your adventures. I saw a hunter passage 42 for sale at an auction last week and I'm so Interested in it. But I'm not so sure I could do this.

[@SailingJibsea]

Great boat and great lifestyle! You never know til you give it a go😆

[@DavidTheMechanic]

@@SailingJibsea so true

[@DeepSeas..]

So beautiful! Just make sure to protect your skin because only the deepest skin tones are capable of handling that much sunlight without rapidly aging and developing skin cancer

[@stevenr8606]

I'm not a doctor. But, I didstay at a Holiday Express once. 🙄

[@DeepSeas..]

@@stevenr8606 Lol What?

[@tilopeters6023]

If you fish on the banks, you’ll most likely just catch barracuda. You definitely do not want to eat those,

[@mdcoomer67]

Do you have room for a combo washer/dryer? Doing laundry bucket style is going to get old in a hurry. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@SailingJibsea]

Yep we have a closet that we believe used to have a washer/dryer in it. But it hasn’t been too bad. We mainly wear bathing suits and have been doing well with the hand washing!

[@BirdDog.]

Is it even lobster season?

[@SailingJibsea]

Lobster season runs August 1 and through March 31st in the Bahamas
