Love the rubber ducky song!

[@mariemorrissey9378]

👍👍🐾🐾 Well Done!

[@Jazzwelt1]

Great Job....

[@stevesheliflying]

I like the 'Not having a plan' traveling. I think it's the best way to travel.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

seems like the only way... especially while sailing. lol

[@jimfromri]

Wow, I’ve watched your videos from the beginning and you two have come so far! I mean that figuratively as sailors but also literally too. The fact that you’ve done it on a very basic boat should be inspiring to many and leave wannabes with no excuses. Good for you! Congratulations and keep having fun.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks!! That means a GREAT deal to us! Thanks for sticking with us from the beginning!

[@RVGhostRider]

One thing I love about Sailing Uma is their "balance" of project, sailing, & tourist/hiking videos. Personally, I love project videos the most.

[@marcoantoniofederico7891]

Thanks for share your movies.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks so much Marco!

[@robertshelton4691]

You two are doing a great job.

[@donnakawana]

Look at 2:55 is that where the break in the hull was started down the road?? It looks suspect..... I am in awe of you 3❣💗⛵😊❣ Keep the wind in ur sails an love in your hearts❣✌💗😊⛵❣

[@edrussell7960]

Always a big thumbs up from my house. Still looking for our boat. Peace and fair winds.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Best of luck on that search and getting just the right gal!

[@Valerie_Dawn]

You two really need a wind vane. And a bimini. And steak! Steak is great for keto! Fair seas.

[@nickbizony6417]

I may have missed it, I know you are now 1 or 2 seasons further along, but I would love to see more detail on your navigation tools and techniques. From what I see so far, it looks like you are dead reckoning - compass heading and time tracking only. I doubt that's the case. I also know you do get an auto pilot somewhere around episode 130 - good move. Love the videos - I'm assuming that since you spent some time as wedding videographers, your video expertise (including editing) is beyond what most voyagers would bring on day one. Nice to spend time with you.

[@Kavack]

Well the good news is you are learning about the things that are important to cruise. Dodgers, auto pilot/hydrovane, roller furlers .... all have a place to keep everyone safe, happy and dry. 😎. Do you need them? Nope....but it’s a much happier crew who does.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

100% agree!

[@kevinharley8920]

Great video more oona please Also I think you should use the claw kicking strap on your boom further aft and with more dawn haul you would be able to sail closer to the wind and get better sail shape

[@BeauAndBrandy]

More votes for oona :) keep em coming guys, she is thinking about it. she has a couple of demands and then we may be able to get to her to do it. :D Any chance you have more information on the claw kicking strap. We can't seem to find anything on how to properly use one, that is why you see us not using it.

[@kevinharley8920]

@@BeauAndBrandy That kind of system has fallen out of favour over time so not much info on how to use them on line. I had a similar set up when I was younger and dinosaurs roamed the earth, I always found it to be a good compromise for vang control with the roller boom reefing the problem is wear and chafe on the sail where the claw down hauls the boom I used bits of rag as sacrificial pads not very pretty but better than damage to the mainsail. It's all much more of a faf than slab or In mast but I'm a great believer in sail with what you got.Hope that helps to inspire some experimenting with it

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Thank you Brandy and Beau for the nice video. It is apparent that you are getting your cruising legs and your sailing skills are definitely growing. Looking forward to seeing what you are going to be up to in Hatchet Bay. As always have fun, take care and have a good weekend.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks Matt! Can’t wait for the next couple of episodes to come out from Eleuthera! It’s such a cool island!

[@edrussell7960]

Love any diy video's, and love the real life stuff. Not only sunsets and beaches..... Which are great, but also keep it real as in the good and the bad and the ordinary parts.

[@jacktaylor1030]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@wcads623]

Glad to see, unlike a lot of other YT cruisers, you put safety first!!

[@offtherichter7]

i vote for more repair videos ;) and i guess more technical stuff all around. cheers, i like your channel

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks so much for watchin!! but repair means things breaking. WAHHHHHH! but dont worry we have a LIST of things to repair.

[@wcads623]

You guys need an Autopilot for those night crossings and AIS!!!

[@xiav2008]

You guys, for Sail Fishing rock... great descriptions as soon as you start fishin, easy to predict your sail and fish adventures will be fantastic, 1) keep the speed steady when the big mahi hit, they stay more hooked. 2) get a 3 oz red and black Hawaiian Eye, with bonito or mackerel belly strip or plain, troll this when you tack 90ft depth plus, Wahoo World is your new zip code, let em stay hooked sails up, for the start, have fun with the big filets on bond fires, respects and thanks for great video..... tight lines

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Great tips, we sure need them!! 🐠🐟🐠 thanks so much for watching!!

[@luizotavio2116]

The ending of this video is a lot more confortable than the usual jarring cut! Great improvement, y'all!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks for the compliment! Always trying to improve! ☀️

[@sailingavocet]

Love this thumbnail. I have followed your personalities through instagram but never thought to follow your KZbin (my bad!) All fixed. I promise to now comment and like all your upcoming videos- how could I not? You 3 are amazing!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

awww thanks guys!! you rock. and vice versa, just subbed! xoxo

[@SailingPachamama]

More Una, footage We love your dog!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

third vote this video about oona :) she is asking for a higher pay scale. we are trying to come to an agreement. she is kind of a diva to work with lol.

[@jimmantych8834]

Your in the best spot

[@coleheidrich3436]

Y’all videos are awesome! I love to see the actual details of life on board and the sails being raised and anchoring etc. either way I’m happy with videos !

[@BeauAndBrandy]

We are working on those! Brandy has never done the anchoring....so look for that one in the future!

[@brianswanland5466]

I like to see your navigation decision making and sail use. Your videography is getting better. I guess experience counts!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

YES! we are kicking ourselves for not including our route here for you guys!! but we will get better in the future! :)

[@gaflaview6476]

Good learning overnight passage. Have fun and wingit as weather and your interests dictate, thanks.

[@tomwilliams8675]

That was a good first night sail. I know the thought of sailing in the dark on the ocean would have me looking for the headlight switch. Have a great time there. It looks beautiful. Safe travels from your friend in snowy (and its still snowing today) Syracuse NY.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Tom Williams brrrrrrr!! Thanks for watching. Sorry there wasn’t too much sunshine in this one 😁😎

[@tomwilliams8675]

@@BeauAndBrandy Your smiles and the sailing are all the best parts anyway. The sunshine just makes me jealous 😊

Getting it done you guys have came a long ways ...from the start

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks Frank!! It's been quite the journey, but we love that we have so much more to learn. If your not growing your dying... :D thanks for following!!

THANKS RJ

This was an awesome vid...i like seein sailing an how it works...i love fishin!!..as well as the places u visit....and would like to see foodand Recipes of your diet at sea. .. we eat keto as well...the recipes and foods i see on channels look sooo amazing !!!...i think you guys are really ramping up the channel!!!😊😊⛵💪

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks Phillip!! Keto KREW!! 🙌 you will definitely see more of that coming up!

[@sveula6454]

That old dodger you had way back when you were refitting Saoirse sure would have come in handy on this pssage, cheers 👍👍

[@BeauAndBrandy]

It sure would have! We since have resurrected it from the dead. It had a broken foot, but has been healed and HALLELUJAH!

[@sveula6454]

@@BeauAndBrandy Great to hear, hopefully we'll get to see some of these projects in future vids, cheers from OZ 👍👍🇦🇺

[@scottmarkham9466]

Brandy you should write a book or books about Oona's Travels !

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Actually have thought about it.

[@jrp616]

Wow that was a long sail all the way to Hatchet Bay. I was about a month ahead of you. I went from Bimini to the Berries over to Egg Island then Spanish Wells, then through Current Cut to get to Hatchet Bay and then Rock Sound, before jumping over to the Exumas. I loved Eleuthera

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Eleuthera is great! Especially loved the people! Where did you need up from exumas?

[@bigbignourdine8627]

Thank you for capetine bon voyages Nice 👍

[@barbaralane9825]

thanks Barbara! ☀️

I had to listen to that ring my bell jingle for 2 solid weeks when Ken was in the hospital, it was in every channel. 😂

Marlena Lashley 🤣😂

[@danieloliver20]

Nice vid, I like it when there is actual sailing unlike some other similar channels

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks Daniel!! we appreciate that!!

[@petefoti1041]

Nice video...One question. Do dogs get sea sick? How hard is for your pup to do his/her Bizz? (ok 2 questions)

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Hey peter! We haven’t experienced oona getting sea sick. We pay super close attention to make her as comfy as possible during sails. And she is super trained on using the potty onboard. Once it did happen we encouraged her with treats!

[@jeffstoffel6948]

Since you asked for what we'd like more of... A total overview of the electric system as it stands now, what you'd like to change, if you could start over what lessons did you learn, what's been the best thing you changed so far? I've watched many electric sailboat videos and all of yours. What seems to be missing is a full overview full nerd style. :)

[@ThompsonBMXbikes]

You sure tricked that boat out! Noice.

[@erichyney6287]

Thanks for getting away from the other boat u tubers, and doing your own thing.

[@Dr.J_theCPA]

Be safe.....I would like to maps of were you are going and your route

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Joe The man sooooooonn!! We are currently working on that 🙌 thanks for watching!

[@timharrison9060]

Sailing Uma's latest video showed them coming thru that same narrow channel... maybe they are still there? any which way and above all, be safe (all 3 of you).... Tim and Cat

[@BeauAndBrandy]

we are both about a month or so behind our vids, we did get to see them recently though :) thanks for watching Tim and Cat!! you guys are awesome!

[@RoryL83]

Nice to see real people on a real sailboat. There are waaaay too many sailing channels with millionaires on catamarans. Keep up the good work!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks a bunch Rory!

[@rons1286]

Your crazy! A millionaire would not be caught on a catamaran

[@lotophagi711]

Auto helm would make life a lot easier - and safer too :-)

[@BeauAndBrandy]

GOOD LAWDY wouldn't it. Wind vane is on the TIPPPY TOP of our wishlist. all things go UNDER that. we realllllly would really love to have one, but its not in the budget yet.

[@iBradWatson]

Overnight passage ✅

[@iamblaineful]

What you were running was a Jack Line, not a safety line. Your passage, overnight or whatever, was absolutely rainbows and dolphins, you’ve got no idea what hard looks like, and that’s great.

[@shelleymccarthy5919]

Do plan to stay in the Bahamas?

[@BeauAndBrandy]

No we will continue on south.

[@dane_amsoilguy4962]

Hey guys you mentioned that we should drop a comment on what we would like to see. One thing I may have missed was the new anchor arrival and installation of the new scavenged roller. Maybe you didn't video it or include it or maybe I fell asleep during that episode. Let me know if you get this comment.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Oh gosh can’t even remember if it is in the videos or not. Hmm. Anywho, we are STILL using it almost 4 years later and it’s working great.

[@buddygore6832]

Kelly Slater’s long lost brother

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Beau gets that one a LOT!

[@JustMe-pp1mp]

I guess if you two ever took up flying then started a flying channel you'd be called AirBnB ??!?!. Stay safe :-)

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Its definitely on the bucket list!! and that would be a terrific name!! love it!

[@michaelwarren7230]

Showing a plotter view would help, don't you think?

[@tanyadagan2012]

You guys should make more videos of your dog 😍 love watching sailing videos with fur babies! Only watched sailing Doodles b/c of dogs and had to stop b/c that guy is a creep lol

[@BeauAndBrandy]

second comment on oona being more on the camera! we will have to ask her permission again... she keeps blowing us off on being on camera :) she is the CUTEST!!

[@tanyadagan2012]

@@BeauAndBrandy Aww she is so cute 😍 I have a 14 year old Sheppard/Rott mix and she sleeps all day and is pretty boring. And I wanted to know how you guys do it with a senior dog 😉

Tanya Dagan definitely are going to have to make a vid of oona soon, lots of folks requesting that! 😘

[@BeauAndBrandy]

@@lovinkwsunsets9581 she didn't have one when we found her and we are currently saving up for a wind vane. We do appreciate the helm though, that is FOR SURE!

[@trevorhopkins5338]

Pretty much the same as Sailing Uma's video this week (To include the comment about turning on the motor to go through the channel). More original content would be great.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks for watching Trevor. it was quite original for us, since we have never done it before. After the abacos, we went our separate ways and we don't know what Uma is filming and vice versa. but i guess its like what they say, great minds think alike ;)

[@ericsirois832]

Love you guys but please chill on the whip/speed ramp transitions.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Eric Sirois but it’s our favorite 😂🤣. We were just talking about learning new transitions today! 🙌😎

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

Maybe you need 100lb. test fishing line. or 60lb braded fishing line... That way you have a better chance of landing your fish... LOL...

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks Bobby! we think its because our reel was too small that didn't have enough line and we have recently been gifted one from friends. we have 65 lb braided line...so we will use that one! thanks for the advice!! hope it works!! lol.

[@TheAtma50]

Hey Guys, Videos are getting way better but I can see who is most influencing you ... great to take there advise but you have your own talents don't be afraid to use them and experiment a bit .....
