Sailing Bahamas, Sailing Exuma, Pipe Alley & Rocky Dundas - HR54 Cloudy Bay - Feb'20. S20 Ep7

[@rickjones8735]

Not fast in those winds, but what dreams are made of. Impressive knots for so little wind, or additional sail. Nice.

[@SailCloudyBay]

Yes, it was nice to have a casual sail for once.

[@Kamabushi999]

Your channel is about romantic love the sailing is secondary. Keep enjoying it all.

[@SailCloudyBay]

We will!

[@ps4peace]

So appreciate your artistic style & candor. The sounds as she moves through the water, is, is.... just balm to the soul. I pine for the sea, walking on sand like that & the colors of the waters. Sigh. Thank you again for another lovely video (& respite). PS: Sorry about the leaky kite.

[@SailCloudyBay]

thanks for the nice comment. Glad the scenes gave some therapy during these troubled times. Stay safe.

[@peterconway6565]

Who needs those "sour grapes, eh!" Love you guys.

Thanks Peter

[@karlbass7895]

Your Exumas vids are really helpful with showing the tracks of your dinghy trips as well as those for the mother ship. Hopefully some day I'll be able to put all this good info to use. The Exuma chain is a dream of mine. TUVM!

[@SailCloudyBay]

Not trying to boast, but we have seen in detail most of the Caribbean islands. And the Exuma Cay stand out a clear head above the rest for their shear beauty and unspoilt nature. And when you do find locals, they are very pleasant people. But Pssss, don’t tell anyone! Just go there :)

Excellent vid guys, wonderful shots of your boat Glen, Cloudy is looking mighty fine.

[@SailCloudyBay]

Thanks! We like to keep her looking good for her fans!

[@mosca3289]

Your joy is infectious. Beautiful, beautiful places.

[@SailCloudyBay]

thanks for the comment. Yes, Joy is one thing that we want to be even more infectious in these days of other infection worries. please stay safe, wherever you are.

[@davidolson7575]

Wow such clear water and another beautiful sail. Thanks for sharing and all the post production work amazing!

[@SailCloudyBay]

It was a really nice gentle sail .... for once. And thanks for the production work appreciation. Oana puts her soul into editing these. I cant touch her for quality these days, so she basically does it all now. please stay safe, wherever you are.

[@rayrussell2735]

Ahh the sounds of sailing. So nice.

[@SailCloudyBay]

It was a really nice gentle sail. By contrast .... wait for the passage to Jamaica!

[@aquatictn]

I love your sailing videos, so calming. The lack of other people in your videos is striking, it must be great to avoid the crowds.

[@SailCloudyBay]

aquatictn yes we do try our best to! But frankly Bahama Cays are on the whole pretty quiet. Not too many tourists and the yachts seem to only gather in certain places. Very easy to be anchored alone. And when other yachts are around they are very respectful. Probably because they are mostly livaboards and not charter yachts, who usually like to party all the time.

[@aquatictn]

@@SailCloudyBay Thanks for the info! As you may have determined by my KZbin user name, I am an avid boater in Tennessee. Mostly power boats, but I dream of doing exactly what you are doing in the Caribbean. Maybe in time I can make it happen. Please keep your wonderful videos coming and take care.

[@SailCloudyBay]

aquatictn new videos released every Friday. It would be very easy to cruise the Bahamas with a motor yacht. Quite a few there, but much less than I expected given its close proximity to Florida - the powerboat epicenter of the world!

[@alimcally279]

Especially beautiful video! The sound of water is soothing. It's amazing how much fun you two can have without another soul around you.

[@SailCloudyBay]

ALI Mcally yes, we do kind of like each other! :)

Another fantastic video guys thanks.

Thanks for the comment. You'll be glad to hear we are having plenty of time to edit and post now. Soon we may get to doing the backlog we still didnt edit from 2019 season. please stay safe, wherever you are.

Fun video! Have you repaired the bladder on your kite? Have you done any kiting since this video? Where were some of the best kite sessions you've had from Cloudy Bay?

[@SailCloudyBay]

Yes new bladder put in. I last used the kites in Mexico n

[@dropthatfone]

@@SailCloudyBay Awesome! Where in Mexico?

[@ObsessiveScientist]

great video. I am so happy to "hear" the sound of sailing instead of music playlist!

[@SailCloudyBay]

Sylvie, the noise of the Cloudy playing in the sea is our music :). Glad you enjoyed it.

[@dalecharlesphoto]

Captains island! My lord.. what a tour

[@SailCloudyBay]

Glad you enjoyed it Dale. Stay safe up there please.

[@dalecharlesphoto]

Sail Cloudy Bay thanks, we are in for the long haul. Freezing cold and rains all week though! That was quite an area in this video. Sampson cay! Almost yours lol

[@SailCloudyBay]

If/when I get that Cay, I will rename it to Private Island :)

[@HARRRYVID]

You would definitely have a waterbed if you tried to sleep on that little island. Beautiful video as usual.

[@SailCloudyBay]

HARRRYVID agreed. I decided not to buy it for that very reason :). Thanks for the nice comment.

[@Bingwadc]

Another great video. Love the with natural sound especially at sunrise & sunset, please extend the scenes. You guys are my new favorite sailing channel. Subscribed...

Great video! Thank you for the ride ,crystal clear water and I could actually feel the sand 😂

[@SailCloudyBay]

thanks .... and yes, that sand was so so soft. please stay safe, wherever you are.

[@spirostathopoulos1346]

Thank you! So far so good, I’m on Long Island NY not a good place to be right now. Hopefully it will be over soon,it better not screw up my boating season coming up 😂 I love your sailing videos and of course your beautiful boat ⛵️

[@mattharte7334]

Brilliant video, I love your yacht she has great lines and looks very seaworthy. I think you may have snorkelled into Thunderball Grotto in the Rocky Dundas.

[@M-Swede]

Hallberg Rassy 54. Built in Sweden. Very beautiful and capable yacht.

[@SailCloudyBay]

Yes, Hallberg Rassy do build yachts that are a joy to own, sail and live on. Actually the Thunderball Grotto is next to Staniels Cay - which will feature in next week's video.

[@Freetheworldnow]

Exquisite! Thanks for bringing your discoveries to us!

[@SailCloudyBay]

You are welcome Pierre. please stay safe, wherever you are.

[@markolovis]

Great yachting channel, probably the best as you guys capture the true sailing spirit first and foremost, very well done, I am your little cousin per say (windsurfer), however I had a question, in all the years cruising around, did you guys visibly notice plastic (micro ctc) sea pollution problem in any sort? thanks for all again, peace PS. I know it's kinda heavy but who better than you might have noticed if any....peace again

[@SailCloudyBay]

jay, when sailing offshore, we don’t see much to be honest. Worst places was around New York - mostly party balloons! And the sea around Haiti was really bad ) they have zero trash collection in Haiti.

[@markolovis]

Sail Cloudy Bay that’s a relief then, thanks for answering and keep up the good work 🤙🏻

[@kariviitala6065]

Here in Finland in my summergottich where I am in guaranteen (77 y) we had 40 knots of wind and the snow was flying horisontally. Just to tell You how lucky yo are. OK I’m used to that kind of life. Thanks again for your videos!

[@SailCloudyBay]

We would love to see snow ...... for about 5 minutes, then back here! please stay safe, wherever you are.

[@stevedeloia3996]

Beautiful

[@dilligafwoftam985]

Thanks guys ... great to follow a sailing channel where the main topic is ... sailing 😱 ... and on my dream vessel, an HR. You have convinced me that 55ft is not too big for 1 or 2 up. Question: Assuming you are using a GoPro 6 or 7, what specification laptop (cpu, screen, brand, storage etc) and software is 'the Admiral' using to edit and upload your videos? You are a very lucky Captain, being stuck with 2 beautiful ladies - the Admiral and Cloudy. Fair winds.

[@SailCloudyBay]

Hi there. We used GoPro6 to start with but recently GoPro7. The stabilization is amazing now. We have DELL gaming laptop with the highest level processor and top graphics card. We need a high PC spec to be able to run 4k video processing. The software is Adobe Premiere Pro.

[@dilligafwoftam985]

@@SailCloudyBay thanks, guys

[@jcregal3456]

Love your videos, your sense of humor and how you keep your yacht ship-shape. I used to make the same error until I was advised . . . Key or Cay --- they are both pronounced Key.

[@SailCloudyBay]

Jc Regal we were wondering if Cay should be pronounced same as Kay :)

Formidable! Merci. Je navigue sur mon canapé . Thank you so much , I appreciate all your talents... (except a little minute !when you feasted Brexit.)

bonjour Pierre. Heureux que vous appréciez les vidéos. En fait, vous pourriez être surpris que je sois très opposé au BREXIT. mais les gens avec qui nous étions voulaient célébrer, nous l'avons fait aussi. Nous avons grillé à une nouvelle ère.

Thanks. Yes HRs are superb. Always been a dream of mine own one. Never in my wildest imagination did I think it was end up being this good!

[@svredrocks1173]

Great video Glen & Oana...eagerly looking forward to the next clip...! How about planting the British Flag and your own "Private Island" sign on a sand-bank...?

[@SailCloudyBay]

SV Red Rocks haha, good idea :) next time maybe. Though the locals, who were previously ruled from London, might not find it so humorous. That said, at times like this I’ll bet all these small independent islands sorely wished they were still supported by their previous European rulers and economy. Here in Cayman, no one has to worry, because the are still British.

[@leog3935]

Mesmerizing video, I have watched it two times already. Every video angle is perfect, and so relaxing that I have forgotten about the Communist Chinese virus.

La classe

[@bradbusch9585]

So captain when cloudys on auto pilot and your up on the bow taking pictures has anything ever gone wrong and you had to run back to the helm to save the day?

[@SailCloudyBay]

brad, to be honest, we tend to “fly” Cloudy like a commercial aircraft. We only generally hand steer on take off and landing :). And I think a lot of cruisers do that. It’s one of the reasons I don’t quite understand the trend to have huge ugly panels of instruments around the wheel - we rarely sit behind the wheel. Even in harbours and tight spaces I find I can track Cloudy much smoother by pressing +/-1 and +/-10 deg on the autohelm. When I’m on the helm she goes all over the place!! That said, I can hand steer if I need to. But I’d be bored after a few minutes, especially at night. As for running back from the bow to grab the helm, in 4 years I’ve never had anything like that happen.

[@bradbusch9585]

Sail Cloudy Bay Are you a aircraft pilot by chance?

[@SailCloudyBay]

Ha Ha ... no, far from it :)

[@SailCloudyBay]

Now I understand the RSM, the comment is even funnier :)

[@Servant_of_Christ]

I like your videos because you show so much sailing, so tired of these "buttshows".

[@SailCloudyBay]

Yes our relatively low views and subscribers reflect that we are not a T&A channel. We really cant understand how some "sailing" channels over expose their partners bodies to the world just to get more viewings. Thats not us and we dont want to encourage that type of viewer. I mean, who wants to see me (Glen) 1/2 naked! We want the viewing pleasure to be the sailing, the sounds of nature, travel views of amazing places and an insight to how it can be to make the jump from being a landlubber and following a dream.

[@walterweckers771]

Always amazed that these sailors ignore basic safety measures. "I'm INVINCIBLE" (not just this couple, but others and in more challenging conditions, with the vessel on autopilot....)

[@SailCloudyBay]

Each to their own. There is no law we need to abide to. And trust me, when it gets rough, we do wear PFDs and harnesses. But please try wearing those around your house for 24 hours and see how it feels. It does make more sense to be an absolute ruling when you only use your boat occasionally ( when you are not used to the movement) and/or have guests on board that you are responsible for. Also, Cloudy is a big boat with very smooth movement compared to other more twitchy yachts. Scale that up ..... and ask yourself why safety gear is not mandatory on cruise liners? Non-sailor type passengers learn over the rails on those ALL the time.

[@walterweckers771]

@@SailCloudyBay I am a sailor myself and know what you refer to. Thanks for the reply and do enjoy your trip(s) - the envy of many!

Cay is pronounced as key. Please, you say it so many times, it's making my head spin.
