You are probably there by now... But, anyway, what a great decision! I hope the winds are with you all the way! Adam seems such a restful kind of bloke; must be a pleasure to sail with!

[@SailingSnowGum]

'.. predictably excited and sensibly nervous ..' is exactly right. Well said.

[@lorettaspradlin9868]

Congratulations!!!! So excited to see your adventures to Iceland. Also PUHLEASE plan a “canned meal” lesson!!! That has completely peaked our attention.

[@annepringle9813]

Was just saying to myself… isnt it about time we had a MF episode? And here it is!

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

It took us some time to get sailing and settled but we’re back to regular releases!

[@MCallsen]

So good to see you back! This looked like a relatively smooth ride and compared to the GGR boats. Millie is really getting some miles in :) Can't wait to watch the second leg ♥

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Yeah we came off very lightly compared to them in their first 3,500nm! Thank you for tuning it 😀

[@anthonypollard4538]

Congratulations guys, what a team!!! In my humble opinion, SMF is the best sailing channel on the net!

[@Shepherdservices317]

Incorrect, Sam holmes

[@brentclarke1841]

Bravo Millennial Falcon 👍⛵👍

[@dragondada]

I'm sitting on a sleeper bus going from Saigon to Nha Trang and thinking to myself "I'm glad they made this video. It saves me the money or effort of ever going to Singapore".

[@chrismalkin4070]

Congrats on a very well planned and sailed voyage. It is great to have you back safe and well. Cheers from Blairgowrie, Vic.

[@themcpeters]

Vanlifer tip: you can clean dishes with distilled white vinegar, just fill up a lil spray bottle. Does a pretty good job breaking down grease/oil and you don’t have to use any water. 🤙

[@brentbauer8258]

Pressure cooker best thing ever for meals…preparing pre made jars of stew with a pressure cooker is the best thing ever. Almost as good as flex tape for underwater hull damage repair.

[@ducatiparts966]

nice yo see you guys back on grid!!!!! havent watched yet, hope it all went well.

[@michaellovell9625]

Glad to see you back posting, been following your adventures for a long time and always enjoy your positive attitude and cheerfulness. The sailing videos are still my favorite. Stay safe and pleasant sailing. ⛵🇺🇸

[@gidge34]

Y’all are fantastic 💪

[@sharonlabrecque6084]

I got so excited when I saw this notification. Missed you two🤗

[@MikeLoveBuns]

Glad view your 200 episodes sailing ! Great video ! Mike from Missouri

[@raygrant1074]

So nice to see your video's again, have missed them. Great to follow your crossing on the tracker. Looking forward to episode 201 🙂

[@garymost6255]

Glad you are both back! Great episode!! Travel safe.

[@akjhome]

Lots of sailing footage- yay!

[@jasoncox7874]

You wouldn't believe the size of the smile on my face. Glad you're back on the tube.

[@mickthornton7694]

Congratulations on starting off on another amazing adventure as you sail from one of my favorite islands to another. Make sure to spend a day basking in the afterglow of your accomplishment with a spa package at the Sky Lagoon in Reykjavik! Avoid the Blue Lagoon.

[@zaneenaz4962]

Excellent Intro Adam...thoroughly enjoyed it, all five times ! Just one (1) correction...the only one that can be scruffy can only be you.

[@TTM-GEB]

Awsome video of sailors doing the sailing thing!!! It seams all the other sailing channels are doing boat projects or eating at Cafes 😊

[@jonyboy1968]

What an awesome trip and route to undertake. Another great video - Thank you.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@samcarrs]

Cheers from The San Juan Islands!..Go get’em!

[@johnrathbun2943]

I like in the beginning of your video you brought up the subject of you've been sailing for 5 years or sailing one year 5 times. I've talked to people about this and they think I'm crazy but I want to go out with an instructor in a very bad weather situation. The reason being I want to know what exactly it feels like and to know exactly what to do. And the only way to get that kind of experience is to go out and do it. But I want to do it safely and with the best chance of survival. I heard that there are instructors that specialize in this. I think every world sailor should take a course on this. A book can only teach you theoretically, but doing it will give you experience.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Haha, it’s a unusual thought to intentionally head out sailing to colder climates and potentially tougher conditions at sea! It’s not a bad idea to try it out with someone experienced first or build up to it like we’ve tried to. I hope to never stop learning and growing, even if people think your crazy for it 🙂

[@woghole2360]

Great episode and more to come thankyou.

[@pleclerc1]

Congrats on an awesome crossing, as well as for your 200th episode!

[@maynardsammons1538]

Followed your track on your entire journey. So happy to see you made it non-stop as you wanted. Now really excited to hear your stories. Well done!

[@feanor3876]

Another beautiful episode

[@fishandcookaustralia8112]

Love my Monday morning wake up to the fantastic travels with Geordie gives me inspiration to complete my 1937 holmes cruiser ❤

[@lareinenine]

Congrats!!! Would you ever consider to a bit of a tutorial on the pressure canned meals you created? Pressure canning seems a bit of a mystery to me, but it’s such a valuable skill!

[@timgwaltney5770]

Missed you guys. Travel safe

[@stephen6378]

Awesome to see you both

[@steveyost5530]

Congrats on your successful sail and especially for 200 episodes! I think I have seen them all!

[@armslength2618]

For a jammed winch, just apply a distel prusik to the tight side of the jammed line to pull somewhat towards that winch. Tie in that closed prusik to a non-slip knot of your choice on the end of some other line. Use another winch to pull the new line tight against the sail, to create slack in the jammed winch. I'd guess that's one of the few ways you'd be able to loosen a hawser on a berthed ship, to fasten it to a [double] bit if it's been winched in with a spool or capstan.

[@ktd9]

Happy to see ya'all back again 🙏😍🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️

[@ducatiparts966]

i love your channel because you show it all, the good and the bad. The best part is that you make it look fun, even the bad parts ( weather/work/problems ) you handle as a couple and with a calmness and acceptance that is amazing. Your point of moving the waypoint sums it up best, you can usually make any situation better by how you see it/react to it/deal with it.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

We’d both feel like we’re lying if we didn’t represent this life in all its glory, good and bad! And 27 days at sea did come with plenty of hard/boring as well and fun/happy bits! I’m glad you enjoy watching it all though and thank you!😊

[@ducatiparts966]

@@SailingMillennialFalcon it’s honestly one of the best channels on KZbin. The content, quality and honesty are perfect. Safe travels!!!!

[@ducatiparts966]

My other comment would be that KZbin changes a lot of people and channels I once loved I now can’t watch. You guys have stayed the same the entire time and it says a lot about who you are as people . Thank you for sharing your lives and adventure with us.

[@billstuart8481]

Glad to see you guys again. Making good time here , I'm sure in Iceland by now, safe and sound.

[@carlcantrell4781]

You two have very good attitudes.

[@goulash75]

AAAaaaaaand they're back! Looks like a great voyage so far. Looking forward to the next leg. I'm going to go out on a leg here and guess that the Norse writing was Adam getting his geek on?

[@nigelappleton2963]

Lovely to have you guys back, missed you.

[@Cortez-rx7vj]

I've recently started offshore sailing (out of Sint Maarten as it turns out) and the most common question I get from non sailors is what goes through your head on departure day. Your comment 'predictably excited, sensibly nervous' is absolutely the best description of the feeling I've ever heard and I'm going to steal it!

[@youtubelivingonasailboat_1year]

Epic journey. Great images. Keep it up. Ian

[@jerrymacvaldosta]

Great job, and what an adventure! Watching I couldn't help thinking what a struggle it can be. To me it would be like riding a bicycle built for two non-stop from New York to Los Angeles with no roads, Boring and exciting at the same time. Thanks so much for allowing us to watch over your shoulders. Keep it up, can't wait until the next installment.

[@RoyClare]

Huge congrats guys, and thank you as ever for making it so much fun. Your chemistry is awesome. 😅🎉

[@russellneville7145]

Awesome, good to see you both again. I hope your trip went well👍 SV Kiwi Lady Opua Bay of islands New Zealand 👍🏿

[@nonaparker564]

Well done guys, can’t wait to see the next couple of episodes. You are both so calm and knowledgeable about doing this massive passage. Kudos to you both

[@caromarco6315]

So fascinating to watch! Glad you are spreading it over more than 1 episode!

[@heinrichwesson]

Awesome episode! Well done with the crossing! Can't wait to see the rest!

[@johnekins4408]

I like the “one bowl” plan, I live on my own but my dish washer is full to capacity with dishes, cups etc. Time for a change, the “MF” method is the new plan. Thank you

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Haha, I mean if you have a dishwasher why waste it?! 😆 but yep, our minimalist method does make for a very easy clean up!

[@richb313]

Taking on the challenge of a long crossing is exciting looking forward to next weeks video.

[@chhindz]

One small pot for hot water , one small pot for mankind.

[@CapDave720]

I guess you’ve arrived - congratulations!!! It’s an important voyage to have accomplished and it will resonate through the entire rest of your life!! We were not so brave - we spent 9 months planning a trip Antigua->Florida->Bahamas->Bermuda->Faroes->Lofotens->Caribbean. Sitting in Bermuda around June 1 we decided that if we continued there was a good chance we would get cold and wet. So we took a right and sailed 1,000 miles back to Guadeloupe!! Sunscreen>parkas!!!

[@cathrynmcpartland1752]

So happy to see you again! I

[@MrFroglips69]

Always nice to see another one of you groovy sailing adventure episodes. Your latest trip to Iceland is really quite an outing. You seem to forever trying to find new ways to push yourselves as sailors. Stay safe and stay groovy.

[@johnbigglestone6416]

Great to hear from you both in such good spirits! Long may they last! Looking forward to the rest of the journey.

[@tlkreinman_tlk5965]

Finally you're back, it's been a long wait. I assume that you have arrived safely. It will be exciting to see the next chapter, on top of the world / Norwegian Sea

[@whiskeywookie2758]

Congrats on another successful passage! I'm guessing as much since you're now posting new videos lol Hope you are enjoying all of the beautiful sites around Iceland! Can't wait to see all of it!

[@pjc222955]

Absolutely love your videos Aussies seem to be setting the standard for great content 👍 👌

[@hedleyjackson5131]

Good to se you and Millie trucking along great vid looking forward to more.

[@HeyMichaelLeo]

Missed y'all bunches.

[@jonathanscott550]

Nice 1st 8 or 9 days of sail 1000NM not bad at all. You both seem to be very relaxed and taking what ever the weather is at the time. You are most likely there now . Looking forward to next weeks part 2

[@user-xe1rf9nz4p]

Hey! I’m so impressed by you two. You’ve achieved so much BUT, don’t you realise it’s COLD 😮 in Iceland!

[@bobbieboothroyd8531]

That was really good thanks

[@rboston33]

Challenging voyage. Wish you the best

[@meestahwah]

Really loved the comment about 5 years experience or 1 year 5 times 😂 looking forward to the rest of the passage followed by the exploration of Iceland!!

[@conradlogan5201]

Very enjoyable ! Thx

[@stevewalters8809]

Nice Little Boat

[@deesmith5220]

haven't seen that Ocean since I was aboard a Navy Destroyer. The sea is gorgeous! Nice video!

[@rimasmeleshyus9486]

Congratulations and sailing ⛵️ to Iceland 🇮🇸 one of the best people I visited two times I would say the best people Icelandic language, but dont worry people very well speaking in English language. You guys not disappointed. Amazing beautiful episode filming 🎥 and sailing ⛵️ good luck and fear winds from beautiful Hawaii islands ⛵️ 🏝 🌴

[@Crowscratch_HauntedLibrary]

Great to see you back! Terrific video!

[@tristanwilliamson358]

Woohoo, thanks guys! 🙂

[@danshuey1286]

awesome video

[@budawang77]

That's more like it. Too many sailing channels aren't doing serious sailing passages like this.

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Great to have you back! 😃👍

[@DrDaleHubbardPhD]

Excellent video

[@jamesmann2725]

really excellent

[@prestonsjourney]

Thanks for sharing this. I am very impressed that you didn’t sail along the coast of the USA. Continued fair winds and wonder health to you both!

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Thank you! We seem to do things the hardest way possible (most of the time unintentionally!) and this trip was no exception 😂

[@charlesmyhill]

Good on youse!

[@arthurbrickley4108]

The last clip of next weeks episode with Adam grinding on something is a perfect cliff hanger.

[@JoseMariaOliveira]

Great adventure. Glad to see you back. Congratulations for the successful crossing.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Thank you very much!

[@davidh3194]

Great episode!

[@tjairicciardi9747]

safe travels, love this channel

[@russellthomson5571]

Great stuff. Life is a journey.

[@jpdj2715]

Great sailing, video.

[@brownnoise357]

Iceland's Salted Chocolate Bars are very nice, and the eer isn't too bad either. Have a great time there. Bob. PS. Any news on new episodes of the Modshipmen at some point ? I moss those tbh. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️

[@stevenwatterson3932]

These are two seasoned and capable sailors. Not to mention a vastly upgraded boat.

[@neilcarpenter3781]

Congratulations on your epic achievement. Massive kudos to U2. Now for a interesting couple of months entertainment and mishaps (lol) hopefully not to many. Funny how the Rangas on the leopard are going onto the Pacific and the bearded one is on the hard doin' the yards. Wish U2 all the best, fair winds and following seas. No doubt in both your capabilities, you've got this by the short and curlies. Best regards The pensioner pirate.

[@mikeh720]

Glad you made it safely and that Iceland was more welcoming than the US to squirrel terrorizers ;) Looking forward to all of your upcoming adventures from the land of ice and snow!

[@briantrenorden8633]

Well done you two. Always an interesting episode from you both. Enjoy the trip and keep the videos coming please. I am really enjoying them. From OZ.

[@rickfunk1355]

Safe voyage and God Speed.

[@Shepherdservices317]

Man you guys are doing this like it's just a sail to the next island lol

[@annafraley5388]

Good to See YOU… VERY Good…..!!! 😎👍✅ Now that we’ve watched it, interesting… Do we have 5 Five years of Experience now?🤔 or do we have One year of experience, 5 times…. 🤷🏻‍♂️🫣😱

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Haha, we probably over think these things too much 😅

[@robashfield8029]

Great video and nice to see you back. Was thinking only a few days ago that I had not seen anything from you two in a while. Question for you! What is the meaning behind the hieroglyphics at the beginning of each chapter. Was wondering if it was Icelandic but google translate say nope.

[@Spoon279]

It's funny how throughout life it seems the closer you are to your destination time appears to slow down. The last 5 minutes of school. The last hour at work. The line of people you're waiting behind to use the bathroom.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Haha, always the case!!

[@curacao11]

😎

[@TTM-GEB]

Love your videos...

[@darren-cottageatelier8962]

guessing you have arrived as you are posting again, so well done on making it, looks like you are into the swing of passage, looking forward to the next episode to see if you did it non stop or not, you guys are the best..

[@vandalorian8777]

I’m following another boat currently sailing from Bermuda to the Azores (Expedition, Evans), and they are reporting a large amount of Portuguese man of war sightings. Just today they have been reported in Florida

[@ckjjclan]

Are you really as calm as you both appear on camera? It’s got to be stressful at times, yet you both seem to keep each other in a good place.
