Sailing a Canadian Fjord (Toba Inlet) - S2.Ep30

[@TheCountryCollectors]

What a life!!!!!!! I love my life but am a little jealous of yours! It’s our dream to live on a catamaran and sail the world one day. You 2 are an inspiration and I can’t wait to learn more about your journey so we can do the same someday. Thank you for sharing!

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Thanks! Hope you go for it :)

[@dougberrett8094]

You came in second, the other boat came in next to last. You should be proud.

[@ianscott3180]

Great video again guys thanks. Lift your dingy it will speed you up. In northern Europe towing a dingy is like sailing with your fenders out. In the Med they do it like you do and tow everything.

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Yah we are lazy haha. actually on this day we knew we wanted the dinghy in the water to get some shots of the boat heading up the inlet (when it was quite calm abs we motored - precious episode). The wind flipped like a switch and suddenly we were in a windy race! Next time we’ll be better prepared haha. We’ve recently upgraded our dinghy to a fairly big one, so davits may be in order soon (dinghy in deck when offshore of course).

[@KiwiSkipper]

Just want to say, you guys are a breath of fresh air .. so happy and having so much fun! I love the smiles and consent laughing as you go about sailing. This is how it should be done. Stay happy and safe you two. Cheers from New Zealand.

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Thanks Allistair!! :)

[@peterfrebold]

.... love how you were scrutinizing your opponent and figuring out the whys of their actions .... always great to see Bruce ... Ben the quick map segment, awesome idea .... Alie you made me laugh, having to point out that the fish tacos where not healthy but gonna have them anyhow, they sure looked good ..... 5 days till solstice, shortest day and then on to spring .... as always ... never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

my boy peter frebold always our fav

[@adamttreat123]

Agree the quick map part is awesome

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

more maps coming :)

[@rossipop]

Sweet .... Ding......Much hugs safe sail .....

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

ha thanks for watching to the end :)

[@AllMyHobbies]

You guys are killing it I enjoy the dancing it puts a smile on my face

[@gabrielegregorio7801]

You always make me smile, thanks and continue with those awesome videos (and beautiful places!)

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Glad to hear that Gabriele :)

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Ahhh makes me miss home!! What a beautiful place

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

just checked our your channel, the music is amazing!!

[@hamishesslemont3705]

Congratulations ! Second place in that epic Fjord race was a fantastic result 😊👍

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Smoked it!! :)

[@TwotheHorizonSailing]

Once again, great video guys! Loved seeing the shoutout to Jack and Sarah, they are patrons of ours as well and through that we’ve also become good friends since they are in our neighboring marina here in SF Bay! Cheers, hope we cross wakes one day!

[@kemron94]

I really like your boat. Would like to see a boat tour someday and you promised to give us the price. Great show. Rather than rushing off to the Caribbean there’s lots of good cruising to the north.

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Thanks Ron! Yes boat tour will come promise. Trying to get this summer footage out first but we’ll probably film or this spring :)

[@joeymakabenta6024]

Thanks for sharing your lives with us.

[@bradkamelesky1938]

What a Beautiful sail guys . Thanks for taking us along.

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Glad to have ya! it was so nice :)

[@josephu6845]

No better way to cruise than with a little Brooks and Dunn!

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

yehaw!

[@SailingBohemia]

OMG - you are sooooo lucky to have this cruising ground on your door step! We are super jealous and are seriously talking about doing the pacific circle and end up in Alaska and PNW!! Super video, really enjoyed it! :-) Mucho love from Mexico

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Yesss we will try to catch you perhaps!

[@svgitana2499]

…….so, did he end up liking the tacos?! Couldn’t tell!! 😅

[@stever2583]

Cute couple - and local for me... Fair Winds!

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Thanks Steve!

[@AthelstanEngland]

Another great episode. Can you see the jib telltales from the helm position cos that will probably give you a bit more info... I'm mainly a dingy sailor with only a little time on big boats but it looked like you just needed to bear away a bit and perhaps not try to take such an close hauled line. Sometimes the longer way around is quicker :) of course I suspect that the antics of the first mate in front of you may occasionally draw the eye and concentration away from sail trim!! :) PS. the wind will often hit the top of the mast first so you may be able to spot a shift that way... personally I'm rarely quick enough.

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

good tips! yah we can see the tell tales when setting on the sides.

[@AthelstanEngland]

@@BreakingWavesSailing lol it's easy from an armchair! Fair winds.

[@darinbarnes2951]

You guys are awesome! I love Bruce! :) Great job..... i moved from Idaho to AK. Catalina 22.

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Thanks! Sounds like a good move to us!

[@edgilnelson9579]

Thanks guys...another great vid...luv the fish tacos

[@edgilnelson9579]

Oh ya....I'm familiar with the Toba....had a trapline up there years ago

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

They were actually delicious (Ben here)

[@terrythesailboatcoach2037]

You noticed that the wind can seemingly be behind you and in front of you at the same. Love it or not, this is common when sailing the Fjords of BC. Unfortunately advice we locals might offer would sound as woo woo as "Use the Force Luke!" There is an art to it, if you can learn to feel the wind. Does that sound crazy?

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

not at all!

[@eduardomeirelles5390]

I really like the stern tying...

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

still haven’t mastered it haha

[@FBGbarge]

Just found you guys recently and have been enjoying your Journey! You've chosen a superb "go anywhere" boat; my father-in-law sold his 1984 Sceptre 41 very recently to a new owner in North Vancouver. It was the only Sceptre 41 sold a s a bare hull and he outfitted it himself to an extremely high standard over several years before launching. I would've bought it in a heartbeat if we were able to sell our current boat.

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

What was the boat name? I think there’s a few Sceptres in the market right now ;)

[@FBGbarge]

@@BreakingWavesSailing OOPS! So very sorry...just saw your reply seven months later! The boat's name is "Berceause" which is a type of French lullaby. White hull with burgundy stripe and canvas.

[@paial]

Put the dinghy securely on deck, and you will pickup 0.5 to a full knot, specially closed hauled.

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Yah i think if we had of known the wind was going to kick up and we would be racing we would have. The trip up the inlet was really light wind and we were getting shots from the dinghy. Next time!!

[@kurtdeutschbein8188]

fantastic nature - nice film

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Thanks!

[@antonysmyth2464]

Old sailor saying- When yachts sight each other they are likely racing. It’s not for the winning, it’s one of the best ways to improve your sailing.

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Yeah it definitely helps watching other sailors!

[@aboversite]

@@BreakingWavesSailing They are only called cruisers until there are two of them.

[@mrparrehesian1742]

Hugging the coastline while going against the tide should help pick up some speed. I've never sailed but log towing during incoming tide it was best to be out in the middle of the straight for some extra push. Cheers, hope Tofino is being good to you. Merry Xmas.

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Good to know, thanks!

[@sailingpelagia7706]

Sometimes hard to figure out all the regs. Lingcod has been pretty restricted south of Cape Caution for a long time. Get the FishingBC App (Google Play and Apple App store) to stay on top of regs. Cheers.

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Thanks for the tip!!

[@georgehockaday7584]

Was the other boat pulling a dingy?

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

it was... can’t use that as an excuse unfortunately haha

[@Leonteplitsky]

Great video guys, it was a fun race to watch! Your opponent clearly very experienced, any idea who they were?

[@bethlef5168]

Great video!

[@donb4386]

Pure sailing fun!

[@saschaeuler7883]

Great episode once again.... Got a bit confused when it ended because you did not show the "crappie bit of sailing" as you said in last episode, so I really thought ¿did I miss an episode? Anyway you guys are doing really great as a non experienced sailing couple! Keep on rocking wish you all the best from GIBRALTAR

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Good catch! yah realized that the sail out of Toba was already long enough and the ‘crappy bit’ didn’t quite fit at the end of this episode. Don’t worry though, those tears are just two weeks away as the opening for our next episode! Hey come to think of it, it’s the first thing we’ll post on 2021!

[@mikolarose]

My favorite area, Cortez!

[@williamwright2183]

Catch and Cook ! Maybe not Healthy but looks very good !

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

what a babe hey?! 🥰

[@kapilsinghmandiyal]

Great video 👍. Are you going to cross the ocean

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Hopefully, we would love to. We’ve got a season on the west coast of Vancouver Island coming up, and then the plan is to head for Mexico.. that’s about as far ahead into the future we can plan for right now :)

[@sailingpelagia7706]

Hmmm... Areas 13 and 15 LINGCOD is a CLOSED fishery!

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

We had mistaken RCA’s and area map restrictions, thinking if we were outside of the RCA that lings were legal. Won’t happen again! honest mistake.

[@elenajean]

hehe i just found your channel 😏 so friggin awesomee guys!!! ur so cool ugh i wanna be you when i grow up 🙏

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

We want to be you!

[@paial]

"... super weird, hey?!"

[@sailingreaction6889]

Am I tripping out or does the top of the mountain to the right at 3:30 look like a face? Those mountains are already unbelievable enough!

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

yah a lot of the mountains looked like they had faces up there we noticed!

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

Nice video

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Thanks!

[@arthurme1911]

All the vids of sailing the woman drives the boat why because the man has more arm muscles to tighten tails

[@sailingavocet]

absolutely gorgeous

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Are you guys heading up this way?

@@BreakingWavesSailing we will be soon! :)

Amazing! hope we can link up :). We’ll be on the wild west coast of Vancouver Island in 2021

And you guys wanted to race Uma??!! 😂🤣👊 you got some work to do brother💯🤣👊 but I like the confidence, but if that boat smoked you, well I guess something could happen to Uma’s boat, but other then that I don’t know what to tell you💯😂🤣nice try😜👌
