Sailing Home: Nootka To Barkley Sound S3E61

Ben and Alie take on the last stretch of their journey, and Ben continues on a little further still, to meet up with a landing craft.
Thanks to our new Patrons for signing up! We are now at 71 (at time of writing). Our goal is 100 Patrons so that Alie can become a full time content creator! We donate a portion of our proceeds from season 3 to Rugged Coast Research Society to help protect and clean up the ocean.

.... Ben totally get where you are coming from, the time alone thing is a good thing, don't know about you, but being with someone and having quiet time is also fantastic, as opposed to being with someone that thinks there must be constant conversation. ... Alie the morning person, guess I am not really surprised. Love watching a day come alive as it slowly gets lighter and the everchanging shadows that continuously change the vista all starting with that light hue above the mountains ..... Was on an indoor rollercoaster in one of the amusement parks in Orlando, when it went over the first lump my body tensed completely and the thought ran through my head "Oh F***" as I white knuckled the grab rail. I posed a question to myself " are you scared or are you going to enjoy this to the max, is this fun", .... My response was "F*** Yeah bring it on!" ..... my first coaster ride that I really experienced, my hands never touched the grab rail again .... did it three more times, figured out where the camera was for the large screen in the waiting area and made big use of that and for the 3rd and 4th runs did not wait in line or pay, were ushered right to the front .. one hell of a day .... our subconscious is so powerful and we tell it what is to be, do we let it take over or do we take control .... sure you have to respect mum nature and not be stupid, Alie there was an episode where you were on quads, you knew s*** could go wrong, but you gave her s*** and made the most of it, were you afraid or did you respect the quad and were not stupid and had a blast .... when we are in control of our emotions we are of more use to the situation at hand ..... maybe having the helm and manual steer the through the swell and waves will boost your ambition, bet Ben is a fantastic coach .... Ace scenery again .... thx for sharing .... see from Insta that you are back on board, cool ...... as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....

Hey...we're new to boating and we love your channel and we too have a dog. Without trying to sound gross...but where does Bruce do is business when you're on the boat and how do you deal with it. No judgement (LOL)

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Hey thanks David! So we haven’t really been in a position where we can’t get bruce to shore (we have jsut day hopped are way around the Island). But we are getting to the point where longer sails are going to be needed and we plan to do the whole grass matt thing. Ben broke bruce in as a puppy on an earlier boat. It honestly comes down to just not letting them off the boat long enough until They decide to go for it. It might take over 24 hours depending on how long your dog normally holds it (I actually think Bruce might hold off for 30+ hours at his full grown size before he breaks the seal on this boat). It kinda sucks to do that to them but once they do it once they will know it’s okay (with lots of praise and treats). We know one couple that trained their dog to pee in the shower drain. That’s an option but we are going to try to keep it on deck. Wash down hose is helpful too :)
