[@billhutton9185]

Great job guys! On the passage and the great video. The wife and I LOL'd too. Beauties!

[@sethandjordan]

Hey Bill!! Glad you guys had a laugh hahaha thanks!

[@markbernier8434]

It is smart to be anxious when you are in a situation where you don't know what you don't know. A year from now you will look back and laugh.

[@sethandjordan]

Thanks Mark!! I think so too ☺️

[@arts2412]

Hoped you practiced reefing during those four days in harbor 😅

[@sethandjordan]

Hahahaha we didnt

[@MatthewFoley-c6v]

Great job y’all. I’m hooked and can’t wait for the next video. You’re finding your groove and the adventure is getting underway.

[@sethandjordan]

Thanks Matt 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@mpdsailing]

I remember having those same jitters. You’re doing great guys!

[@sethandjordan]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@mattcarroll106]

Well, you have now completed your first overnight passage. Congratulations get some rest, and knock the next one off.

[@sethandjordan]

Thank you 😄

[@robertbailey2342]

Just found your channel! Welcome to Maine! Im from the Brunswick/Harpswell area. Much love from the coast of Maine 🤙

[@sethandjordan]

Thanks Robert!!

[@Paco-p6e]

Good job guys! I think that pre-voyage jitters are more common than some of us let on. Rockland is my home port-a great place to provision-you can pretty much walk to everything.

[@sethandjordan]

The most overwhelmed we've felt in a long time! And totally agree, we filled all our needs there 😄

[@robertfreeman2322]

Sailed to Rockland many times. Great place and usually plenty of moorings. In the summer the lobster buoys are dreadfully everywhere outside the breakwater. I once sailed out of there on my 50ft steel ketch and the winds were at 10 knots so I had every stitch of sail up. I never noticed it but my skeg must have caught a buoy sideways or something as they usually just slide under but they use toggles just a few feet away from the actually buoy for when the tide is screaming hard. I must have dragged that pot 5 miles before it popped out. I wonder if he ever found it =)

[@sethandjordan]

Oh wow!! Lucky that it just popped off 😅

[@codymcgregor2964]

Incredible footage!!! At to scoop my jaw off the floor!

[@sethandjordan]

😂 thanks Cody!

[@PurdyCaps]

Legends!

[@sethandjordan]

Thanks Josh! Your videos have got me belly laughing 😂

[@JFrancisCooch]

Just found this…I have never sailed but I have been mesmerized by it lately! Great jobs folks…it’s ok to be nervous…I am 60 and I would have packed my pamper and chummed from nerves! Keep going! How long have you been sailing?

[@sethandjordan]

Hahah! We have been living aboard for 4 years, sailed our boat a handful of times but we've learned a lot since leaving Nova Scotia 😄

[@JFrancisCooch]

@ Did you have sailing backgrounds or just decide that this sounded cool? Books? Videos? How did you learn to sail?

[@sethandjordan]

Jordan's mom lives on a sailboat which inspired us to try it ourselves and Seth grew up sailing smaller sailboats on the eastern shore of Nova Scotia. We moved to a yacht club and met a lot of knowledgeable people there who helped us out.

[@TheChroniclesofWayfinder]

How come YOU get subtitles, but Seth doesn't ?? ❣

[@sethandjordan]

I only subtitle the things I think are less audible ❤️

[@JonMadsen70]

:)

[@apollo8352]

I tend to get a little distressed hearing that one person on board cannot reduce sail or make a radio call. It makes me wonder if you two could handle a man overboard situation.

[@sethandjordan]

Yeah most likely not
