[@dthelmcken420]

Wonderful again and we howled at the regatta event! Fairwinds, smooth sailing and stay safe. __/)) from Canada

[@SailCloudyBay]

It was quite hilarious to watch!

[@zorandobrijevic8729]

Wow, your camera images from the grotto were exceptional. Many folks film this grotto but it ends up too dark and grainy. Yours are just perfect; masterfully done. Thank you.

[@SailCloudyBay]

thanks. Didnt do anything special. I think it was around midday and wonderful light was streaming through the roof

[@ps4peace]

Thank you! Another lovely video & wow, that was quite the regatta event!

[@SailCloudyBay]

ps4peace thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@svredrocks1173]

Great Video Captain G....especially "Thunderball Grotto"; good commentary from the Commodore & Enjoyed the Regatta with a difference - lots of hand signals & loud voices, but hardly any sailing...reminds me of a Caribbean Beach Cricket match. Don't they use Protest Flags..!? Eagerly waiting to view your next video travelogue.

[@SailCloudyBay]

Glad you enjoyed it. More to come .... every Friday

[@WaterTrails]

The race pile-up, LOL, great footage!

[@SailCloudyBay]

It really was quite a spectacle of blue language! We were thinking they were about to jump boats and physically fight! But this is the Caribbean way - communication by shouting at each other with zero listening skills!

[@jwrappuhn71]

Another excellent adventure ya'll, thanks.

[@SailCloudyBay]

jwrappuhn71 thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@richardsimpson2599]

Great filming again !

[@SailCloudyBay]

Richard Simpson thanks Richard. Mostly Oana’s doing. I don’t get to touch the camera much these days!

[@R.E.HILL_]

The captain wet sanding the bulb ready for new paint... perfectly normal procedure... 😉☺️

[@SailCloudyBay]

That made me laugh. Very true .... thats exactly what I was doing! But after a month sitting still in Cayman now, we have quite a beard on the bottom of the keel. Need to find somewhere to re-sand it!

[@rayrussell2735]

Bumping along. Thats how we did it back in the 70’s. Another fun video.

[@SailCloudyBay]

Just soft sand .... preparing for ANOTHER keel job!

[@arnteriksen5773]

Another fun video from you. Hope you have a nice time in Cayman......if you can have a nice time in Quarantine.

[@SailCloudyBay]

Arnt Eriksen thanks. We just got i. 12 hours before quarantine for incoming yachts was starting. So far all got. Nice place to be locked down ....

[@mattharte7334]

Really enjoyed the video and very interesting to see Thunderball Grotto. It was a shame the Bahamian Sloops were racing in light conditions because it would have been great to see them charging along using the sliding seats/scaffold boards, and I think the protest hearings could have been quite exciting too! Just wondering if running aground at the exact same state of tide over a previous plotter track may have had something to do with possible higher air pressure, keeping the water lower on your return journey, it's just a thought.

[@SailCloudyBay]

Yes it must have been a slightly different tide level thats for sure.

[@davidolson7575]

Thanks for another great video, I was planning to swim with the pigs in May. (from a cruse ship) but that is now but I got the next best thing!!! Lovely swim though the channel. Thanks again, Awesome videos!

[@SailCloudyBay]

David Olson not a good time for the cruise liner business. But it will come back. Meanwhile the pigs 🐖 have taken a holiday from the tourists!

[@mdcoomer67]

I wonder if any of the race discussions carried over to the beach? Thanks for sharing, as always.

[@SailCloudyBay]

Michael, not sure because we went back to Cloudy before the rain came. Somehow I doubt it. We’ve observed the Caribbean way of men communicating seems to be by shouting at each other ! So this is quite normal :)

[@mosca3289]

Thanks guys.

[@SailCloudyBay]

C Mosca you are welcome.

[@AAAA-zj9yl]

What do you do for a living, I'm going to do the same. Lol

[@SailCloudyBay]

AAA A nothing! I’m retired :) I worked 33 years in the oil drilling and exploration business.

[@billcookson2919]

piggy piggy , we want to see wanna sail cb xx

[@SailCloudyBay]

Not sure you'l get to see that. Cloudy generally sails herself!

[@ronfrank6976]

WONDERFUL CHANNEL!! FYI: CAY is pronounced KEY, for some reason.

[@SailCloudyBay]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Yes always wondered is Kay and Cay were pronounced the same.

[@kevinwelsh7490]

im not a sailor, I wonder where you get the charts from?

[@SailCloudyBay]

Numerous options. We use Navionics charts on the boat system and chart plotter. And have back up paper charts too - but we rarely look at those.

[@M-Swede]

🐖⛵️Swimming pigs and sail boats, who could ask for more? 😎

[@SailCloudyBay]

M Swede .....Flying pigs?

[@SerbanOprescu]

Thunderball Grotto: "The tide runs very strong through the cave", "you normally enter at low tide and swim right out the other side", "but I hit it at high tide" "I WAS THERE ON MY OWN", "the tide was running so strong", "I couldn't get into the entrance", "I found a very narrow gap", "I was swept through with the current". "AND THEN COULDN'T GET OUT", "without diving down, because the tide was so high" - Glen, do you REALLY like living on a screaming prayer? Everything you did was so dangerous. Please try to be careful! (Who do you expect to come pick your parts scattered over the rocks? She won't like it).

[@SailCloudyBay]

It was fine ....like to live on the edge sometimes :)

[@khalidking11]

Hello . Why not give us the opportunity to see the yacht from the inside and why not see you as you prepare food in the kitchen. We want to watch all of your daily activities. We do not see only your commute except your transfers. We hope to pay attention to the comments I mentioned to you .. Thank you ..

[@SailCloudyBay]

Sorry but we dont make videos to show our private daily life. Lots of other channel have that if thats what you like. As for the inside of the boat, we did a complete video showing everything about a year ago.

[@khalidking11]

.Sail Cloudy Bay. We do not want to interfere with your privacy, but we only want to diversify. All the channels that we follow do this thing. It is very normal and it does not involve privacy.

[@nawiwan3112]

[@SailCloudyBay]

NAWI WAN sorry, we don’t understand the comment.

[@nawiwan3112]

[@ZIvulicevic]

[@SailCloudyBay]

Zoran i Ivan Vulicevic all safe in Grand Cayman thanks. We’ll sit it out here until it become clear where we should go next.
