Sailboat Life: EPIC Sailing To A WILD Bay [Sailing Kittiwake Ep. 105]

[@Rudder2]

I'm so happy you have 3 islands to explore! You really landed in one of the only places you could. That's great! I'm so happy for y'all. Your doing what the Caribbean is known for. A wonderful sail is great...bet you were getting tired of being in one place after 2 months. The couple weeks after a month at sea was probably great but the sailor in us gets the itching to move on. We don''t choose this life to stay in the same place...We are vagabonds who enjoy the change of scenery. Soon, when my boat is ready I'm going to have to start looking in to what islands are open. I'm hoping this will be all behind us by than. Where I'm living we have pretty much got back to normal. Keep living the dream!

[@AfricanFlightStar]

Seeing your joy as you experienced a glorious sail after so long in 'confinement' was totally contagious and made a wonderful bright spot in my day. You two have matured into seasoned blue water sailors and it's such fun to have been on this journey with you, thanks as always for sharing it w us 👍🏼🙏🏻 And yes I let the ads play all the way thru for you, I even click on a bunch of them 😄😆

[@gilcore5245]

I hope I do not come off as too forward but... You guys are proof opposites attract! The yin and yang is so fun!

[@trevorbyron8181]

Got carried away at one stage with the lovely sailing

[@SVImpavidus]

Nice! Love the time your taking to name the sealife. That's a bit of work and data! But it makes you different and outstanding. Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

[@brucegilbert6145]

PS check out the surfing in Yakutat!!! They have a nice little surf shop and because of the warm offshore flow the water is not too cold. But it is alaska, you will need a wetsuit and when you get further north a drysuit!! Bruce Take Care and LIVE!!

[@myjeepzia]

Nice to c you happy. Good job Captain. 🚣‍♂️ Beautiful video thanks

[@Carlos_Verhaak]

Sailor girl and sailor boy really having fun and giving fun. Thanks a lot and keep enjoying!!

[@SailingKittiwake]

Cheers Carlos!

[@gilcore5245]

Also I really like how you name some of the species you see! COOL!

[@SailingKittiwake]

Thanks Gil!

OK the coaxing of Hermie into his new home was precious.

[@Oceans_Sail]

Terrific!

[@SailingKittiwake]

Thanks so much, Andy!

[@rasheedmasthan6779]

Great Video ♥️👌👍

[@goleafsgo8496]

Been away a few weeks but playing catchup on a couple videos. 2 months is nothing for you two its like riding a bike you never forget! Ryan nice job on the fix had me a little nervous the drive gear was pressed on?

[@williamwright2183]

Finally catching up to you guys 👍

[@C_C_SEA]

Lovely to see y'all clipping along under sail again! Also, sweet to see a bit of Saint Vincent after 41 years - was there while serving in the 🇺🇸 Navy, together with a 🇫🇷 warship, and a 🇬🇧 warship - all to celebrate 🇻🇨 Saint Vincent and the Grenadines' official independence from British rule. Safe passage, journey well 🌊❤️⚓️

[@goleafsgo8496]

C C never miss an opportunity to thank a veteran for their service without you men and women life would be a much different place to live for all of us. Wish we didn't need our Armed Forces but it's the way of the world.

[@glenhuysamer]

I appreciate the fact that you take the time to identity and label the underwater sea life in your videos. Thank You.

[@johnmikel5934]

Nice beautiful sail, great job on this one 😀 enoyed it!

[@thomas5495]

Great sail and snorkel! Thanks for the great footage.Enjoy your new anchorage.

[@SailingKittiwake]

Cheers Thomas! Thanks for watching.

[@SailingCoffeecup]

Well, your wife is a keeper! Beautiful, funny... and she knows how to sail! Job well done mate!

[@TheBeggFamily]

That crab at the end was a surprise!

[@dreadnoughtb3364]

Thank you for sharing your adventures, experiences and sailing life. Once again you have made my day. Being old with co-morbidity and mostly isolation it's GREAT to see real life that is positive still happens. You two are a great team and produce excellent quality videos. Fair winds and much love

[@nealeburgess6756]

Nice job with the water pump Ryan. That engine sounds sweet! The sailing looked rather good too!

[@haighaj]

Another great video, looks like an amazing sailing and what a great bay. The underwater footage is fab, I bet finding something in the shell was a shock!

[@wallyklw5]

great to see you underssil again!

[@SailingKittiwake]

Cheers Kevin! It was an epic sail!

[@caromarco6315]

Lovely to see you enjoying yourselves Sailing, makes up for the tougher times I hope 🇦🇺

[@bryonensminger7462]

You need a conk horn its customary to blow one at sun down in the islands as you watch the su set and have the end of the day drink we always go with an island drink from Hawaii with a few Mai Tais

[@sarascott2217]

Great video felt sorry for crab popping out wondering where he was hope he got back to ocean ok

[@SailingKittiwake]

Yes of course. We left him alone to migrate to the other shell and popped him back in 😊

[@rick881]

@@SailingKittiwake I just read through to find the fate of the crab. Glad you lived and let live.

[@bobblack4048]

Great to see you underway again. Loved the video.

[@SailingKittiwake]

Yay! Glad you enjoyed it, Bob.

[@annaligbaker]

Your videos just make me so happy to watch. I dream to do this one day x

[@SailingKittiwake]

Yay! Thank you for watching.

[@texling93]

Good to see when things are going good! In the tropics cleaning some of the anchor chain off that has growth on it. That will keep anchor locker from smelling bad 😎

[@SailingKittiwake]

Yup, as we found out! Haha!

[@ukrainewarroom]

@@SailingKittiwake every time I see someone pulling a dirty chain up I think there should be a high-pressure pump and a nozzle pointing at the chain as it comes up. Blast it all with seawater as it comes up. Then I see that lots of newer yachts actually have this as standard. Its something easily made though...

[@ronhaskins7197]

Bravo, really fun episode and great to see you sailing again!!! Shooting for first of December to get back out and this video really has me jonesing!!!lol

[@SailingKittiwake]

Yeeepppee! Thanks Ron!

[@pedroredondo3713]

Ryan, you made it through with the installation of the new flexible impellers pump and you mentioned you couldn't find anything online to help you out with the disassembly. The book "Marine Diesel Engines" by Nigel Calder covers that part with great detail and some schematics, so I guess, this would have been a great help to you. Since you've done it, maybe it will be helpful for others... Cheers, Pedro

[@SailingKittiwake]

Cheers Pedro! Good tip.

[@brianboys9015]

Beautiful

[@williamlewis8741]

Chers amis: la vidéo était magnifique et je vous en remercie. Each time i watch twice or three times your videos, i watch the background, the sound of the sea, the color of the sky and translucent water. This time, i noticed the clothes pin. It represents the every day life you two, a life you have chosen without pretense and without ostentatious speech. Nice metaphor Ryan, your bike riding skills aren't rusty at all and Elena's as well. cheers

[@SailingKittiwake]

Thanks William! By the way, 90% of the filming and editing is done by Elena, so the metaphor is hers 🙂 Good spot!

[@williamlewis8741]

@@SailingKittiwake a humble man you are Ryan. c'est la raison pour laquelle que je suis un vrai fan de toi et y compris la rédactrice :-)

[@markebert7336]

The sailing looked like great fun! Just like sailing a dinghy - except that you need 2 hands for *THAT* tiller! Does it have a name yet?

[@nigelgriffiths259]

Brilliant as always. You reminded me of the first sail of each season when you try to remember how to make sure everything is working as it should. I also empathised with that wonderful feeling when the yacht creams through the water at speed. It’s a magic moment. I guess you will need to take Skua out of the water soon, judging by the growth on the anchor chain. As always I wish you fair winds tides and currents.

[@SailingKittiwake]

Thanks a lot, Nigel! We won't be hauling out for at least a year, as we went in the water just one month before the Atlantic crossing :D It's very expensive in the Caribbean, so we'll probably wait and to it in the ABCs.

[@robertpowell6892]

Looks like a great sail! Certainly brightened up my day.

[@SailingKittiwake]

That's so lovely. Thanks, Robert.

[@KR-pe7gr]

what a beautiful sailing day you both had. Snorkeling was awesome but just wait until you visit other more blue water ocean. Oh how I look forward to doing this as well (sailing)!

[@SailingKittiwake]

We're so lucky!

[@overlandworld2253]

Beautiful...simple and beautiful. Hope you guys did not get caught up in the storms a few weeks ago, but i guess that maybe in a future vid. We are still waiting to move in Africa due to Covid. Love from the overland guys.

[@SailingKittiwake]

Thank you so much! We're all good 🙂 Hope you can leave soon.

[@TheHalferz]

Union island is definitely work checking out.. from there you can check out Tobago cays and of course happy island

[@SailingKittiwake]

Thanks! All of SVG looks incredible :)

[@ianelwell8000]

Another fantastic video guys!

[@SailingKittiwake]

Thanks so much, Ian!

[@barribaw]

Love the journey you are on and lovely to see you in St Vincent. I was there many years ago - beautiful place. Can you tell what vessel the “Vagabondas” is? It looks like an Aspen (power cat), but can’t tell for sure. Would be great to see more of it and find out more about it’s cruising capabilities/limitations (and economy compared to sailing).

[@SailingKittiwake]

Thanks William. It's a Lagoon 43. Here's a video we made of Vagabundos to help the owners sell her: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anPCY5yijbege6s And here's the website we made for the sale: lagoonpowercatforsale.wordpress.com/

[@allanlarsson3005]

Amazing sail! How fast did you go! Top speed?.😀👍🏻

[@marclawyer2789]

Looks great guys. Not sure about the Carribbean, but some nasties also live in shells, so be careful when picking them up ! Have fun 🌅

[@SailingKittiwake]

Thanks for the heads up

[@brieneaton8578]

@@SailingKittiwake Another beauty vid you two. I know you both worked hard to make your dream a reality. It's paying off. Enjoy . But , as Marc Lawyer said, " some nasties " live in shells, and just under the sand. And one I found out about just last year from " the old sea dog ". There is a tree on some of the islands and the mainland down that way, Pacific side also, the " sap " not just the fruit , will kill you. do some research on it and let the rest of us know. Have a blast and stay healthy.

[@cousinjack2841]

OK; nice video but you can't leave us hanging like that. What happened to Sebastian? I hear that he had just upgraded to a bigger shell and someone tried to con him out of it!

[@yiannimichaelidis1807]

Thanks got sharing

[@rbnhood39]

Good Monday morning guys. Hope you are enjoying your time in the Caribbean except for the repairs. How do you rate sailing in Europe to the Caribbean?

[@SailingKittiwake]

Hi, we personally prefer the Caribbean for the views, reliable winds and underwater life. However, if you're a foodie, don't mind motoring and love culture, you'll like the Med a lot better.

[@rbnhood39]

Sailing Kittiwake , I hope you will enjoy yourselves and you have a ton of places yet to see. Please be very very mindful of weather systems developing in the Atlantic because it’s hurricane season. Have an exit plan at the ready in case you need to run from some impending storms. Usually you will have a few days warning to try to get out of the way. Coming to you from Panama City Florida and will try to send you guys a heads up if I see something you want to be concerned about.

[@bradbusch9585]

Did the crab go for his new digs?

[@SailingKittiwake]

Yup, forgot to film it 🙈

Once you get their and drop the hook thats when you need a spear gun or an Hawaiian sling spear

[@mirellasoyer3344]

Nice sail, but distorted not learn to only leave bubbles? As a guest to marine life, keep your hands of other creatures homes.

[@joecucch8261]

Tell the little hairy crab it's rent is going to double and it will bail for a butter tin.

[@chriszanf]

Dont throw the hermit crab into the water - it will drown.

[@SailingKittiwake]

We found it at the bottom of the sea 😁

[@chriszanf]

Just learnt that there are two distinct types of hermit crabs: marine & land hermit crabs! The former never usually leave the sea and the latter never usually go into it!

[@glennedwards1449]

Hi I have been watching you channel for a while on and off and have to say I am most disappointed in the number of views you recieve. I do not know what to ascribe this too. They are well produced a nice mixture between the technical stuff and the sailing stuff you do not come of as entitled brats living on a trust fund or boat experts who know everything no clickbait no scantily clad bikini babes no fakery in short an authentic entertaining channel. I am not coming from a place of a fanboy and squealing how this is my favorite Sailing channel I enjoy it for sure but it isnt my favorite it does however deserve a lot more popularity than it is receiving. I wish I could suggest something to help I am at a loss I can only hope you will keep plugging away and get the recognition you deserve.

[@SailingKittiwake]

Hi Glenn, we cannot figure it out either, to be honest. Been trying so hard for years, but KZbin just doesn't push our channel. It's all down to the algorithm, or you need the bikini thumbnails.

[@glennedwards1449]

@@SailingKittiwake Well if you add Ryan in a Bikini it will definitely do something for your views. He may have to shave his legs though.
