Sailing the Wrong Way Across the Caribbean (Sea Change - Chapter 3)

We can always count on the ocean for a good challenge. Crossing the Caribbean when and how we did assured us we’d be battered, bruised and our asses chaffed from beating hard to weather for a few weeks. As always, mother ocean didn’t disappoint. In the end we found out how strong this little ship really was and learned a few things about patience along our way. One wet and wild ride. We'll take the long way instead of the wrong way next time.

Three years later this is still my favorite sailing video on KZbin. Hope you guys are doing well.

[@cobrasvt347]

I miss the videos. I wonder wonder I do.

[@JamesGangOutlaw]

Me and you both I've watched this video several times it is badass and I hope there OK and doing well I messaged them 2years ago and they said they were in Argentina 🇦🇷

[@unmariachiloco]

Man… 7 years later and this video is still amazing!!

[@harryknickerbocker9889]

Makes me homesick. I spent fifteen years cruising the Caribbean, the east coast, and the Gulf of Mexico. Now I live near Seattle and I will be sailing north in the spring. I'm seventy five and still living in the moment. This is an excellent video.

[@thewisewon20]

Someone just shared your video on r/Travel over on Reddit. That's how I found it. You guys got a nice thing going on. SUBSCRIBED

[@johnlcallaway]

Simply amazing! Thanks for producing a wonderful sailing video, full of sailing. Your video doesn't just document, it places the viewer on board and participating in your adventure. Minus the BO ....

[@KotoriOnWheels]

hahaa! but admit it if you could scratch and sniff, you so would!

[@davidlewis1680]

I agree , brilliant film, you need to make a longer video next time.

[@JulianIbanez13]

best ever, no b.s. music, no antics. in 1980 i spent one year solo cruising the florida keys and the bahamas in a 47' vagabond ketch with all roller furling electric by myself and it was great, the best one year of my life, no family, no people talking to me, I kept away from everybody because my purpose was to get away for a full year, no phones, nothing! I told my mom I was living in Nassau and got me a letter forwarding service from there, so from florida send my families' letter to nassau, then they go to miami, and everybody happy thinking I'm living in paradise while I'm 30 miles from their house. This video is reallty great, I subsceribed and I intend to watch all of them.

[@billturner2360]

That video is as real as they come. You see it..... you feel it.....your captured by it..... and then most of all, you want to be a part of it ! I'm tuned in..... and watching. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@todaysrealhealth8153]

I agree. I love the ocean.

[@billturner2360]

+TodaysRealHealth Have you checked out their website? Its a ( Mariners Log ). It gives you all the story from the beginning. Check it out..... its cool. Its a great read. Seachangelog.com

[@syexplorarconmigo8853]

Bill Turner thanks for the tip!!

[@rahsaanmoore3986]

The moment when you find a amazing channel like this by accident, time to binge watch

[@RealityIsTheNow]

I hope they do well. No bikini girls to pimp for clickbait/views.

[@rahsaanmoore3986]

RealityIsTheNow La vagabonde shade

[@RealityIsTheNow]

And Delos, for that matter. And 9 out of 10 other cruising channels on the y'tubez.

[@petefleming252]

Love it. You guys capture the moment. I almost feel like I am present. Thanks. Wish you guys made more videos. Best of luck

[@learningtocode6320]

This documentary series is going to win awards. Absolutely amazing.

[@tentimes4]

Holy smokes did you guys do a great job with the video photography. That's so much better than what most publish; video quality and ability to convey the story without words. The fact that you tossed in an excerpt of Alan Watts into your story line was pretty ingenious. Time at Sea definitely gave a lot of us a chance to reflect on what some of his speeches meant to us individually. Keep going gents.

[@amandassailingadventure]

loved the Alan Watts throw in too!!

[@AngersFiction]

They're filming with a professional level camera, most youtubers are not that well equipped

[@garycromie6640]

yep - been listening to a lot of him lately with my son, who loves his stuff. Son just set sail yesterday across the Indian Ocean.

[@Jeremy-fy1sz]

Yeah, love these videos. They actually are professionals which is a big difference.

[@Boatyarddog]

Any problems clearing customs or entering with a dog? How many days out without landfall have you encountered?

[@temccarthy9089]

We have watched hundreds of sailing videos and documentaries and your skill sets take the cake on story telling, camera/editing-work and bold sailing…Well done boys…we await your next chapter T&R.

[@KHHamacher]

Rarely have I seen such fantastic images in a sailing video - applause

[@seethelittlethings]

you inspire us, what you made is timeless

[@thetruthologist56]

Hollywood can just close shop now. This is spectacular watching. Thank you

[@arumrunner]

OMG this is spectacular. No white sand beaches, no bikinis, no fancy cocktails at sundown, just a couple of sailors challenging the master mother earth.

[@snowmonkey4863]

Guybrush Threepwood "You know how I know you're gay?... You like Wham!"

[@davidchandler6885]

MANLY????? "say in our buttcheeks" sailing butt naked to together trying to show off in some strange way

[@FluffyWolfMan]

no, it would be gay if the two guys were screwing each other. Of course we don't know the details haha. In a true sailors perception, when you're crossing the ocean its actually considered bad luck to carry women and children aboard for more than 24 hours

[@antoniocastro4371]

I saw comments exactly the same as yours

[@theageingpunker4547]

Alls good but the dog. Sailing across the ocean with a dog. How fuckin stupid is that. And ignorant. Dogs are not sea creatures you fuckin momo's

[@TheWiteshark]

YEWWW! You boys are crazy! I thought a 6 hour upwind beat to Catalina was bad, but 20 days against the trade winds sounds more like a tale from the Odyssey. And to do it with no motor, you all have proven to be closer to Poseidon than man. Congratulations on the safe crossing, I can not wait to see what else you are able to capture.

[@SeaChangevoyage]

Ha! Amazing comment! We all had a good laugh when I read it to the crew. Thanks so much! It was certainly a feat for the books, we look at it training for the more serious Southern ocean..

[@todaysrealhealth8153]

+Sea Change i wish i could sail with you guys

[@g.gordonwoody645]

Seachange - nobody is making video this good. I keep coming back here to see how good a sailing video can be. Please save us by writing a book or something for other sailing videographers to read. You are awesome.

[@richhamel6810]

Gentlemen, that was a great video. Thank you.

[@paulolodicora4471]

There is nothing more spectacular than an ocean crossing in rough sea. Beautiful images.

[@tetraskele9621]

Well done! This is, without a doubt, the first "I am sailing my boat across the ocean" video series on the TUBE that has been shot cinematographically. What a refreshing change. Got to love series like the story of the Vagabonde, but this is a seriously well shot series! All you need now is a young feminine star with the perfect body, and you too could be sailing a catamaran. ; ) I'll be watching. My wife and I just purchased a Caliber 40 LRC, decommissioned her, and shipped her from Maryland to Oregon, only to recommission her in Ilwaco, WA. Not yet correctly rigged, and with a new Yanmar, we took the opportunity to put 9 hours on the engine by powering on up to our home (downriver from Portland), riding the 'autumn moon' flood tide. Hope to be sailing her south into the Pacific by the end of next summer. Great production, guys. Real (sea) life. Here's wishing you safe passage(s)!

[@todaysrealhealth8153]

Please no young girl. Would ruin this story. We want to see the men sailing for real.

[@tetraskele9621]

I was only kidding .... naturally! Eye candy is not needed. The filming is getting better and better. This is a joy to watch. And another thing I am seriously impressed with is the underlying spirituality (as opposed to mere 'thrill seeking') of the crew in their voiced (and unspoken) prayers and respect for the Creation they are immersed in. humility ... indeed. Refreshing. You guys are a solid team! Fair winds!

[@perfectbros2299]

[@rico1648]

I am amazed at how well your videos are crafted. Great stories, smooth editing and flowing music. Keep it up.

[@mrvegardeide]

This video STANDS OUT! Watch it!! 😎 A very nice mix of just about everything in a great story! ⛵️ High quality footage combined with a warm narrative and a tiny bit of Allan Watt philosophy. Dirty dishes, admission of lacking seafarer experience and sweaty smelling bodies . Rain, wind, sun, thunder and crew fatigue with nice music and narration well balanced in between the bashes. All in all a very gentle story put together with a couple of guys who paradoxically claim themselves to be non-gentlemen.

[@justinsilbs114]

so much talent...embodies some of what i love most about the sea. love the alan watts too. cheers to you guys

[@bensteel3944]

Tell you this video was spectacular.. Awesome sailing guys.. Just brilliant..

[@mikeskor6230]

Loved the dog rescue. A splendid video rooted in the eternal NOW.

[@willstence7206]

Absolutely beautiful! Hopefully there's more!

[@SeaChangevoyage]

Thank you so! Much more to come :)

[@bowserbowser173]

Brandon...amazing...wow...im so happy for you!!!...a true sailer..too the edge of the world!

[@SeaChangevoyage]

Bowser! Thanks for all the kind words mate! hope all is well in the west. Keep an eye on us.

[@Bushcaddy620MP]

Now where talking this is how sailing videos should be edited and produced. You guys rock. Actual videos of sailing and sail handling now that's a good concept. Looking forward to following your videos and plane on being out there with you in the near future. Yes I hit the like button and subscribe. Thank you for sharing.

[@Yorks_83]

The best sailing video in youtube with very much difference

[@reeseburns3552]

As a 14 year old whom one day wants to sail the world with his friend, this video is really inspiring (as well as the whole series, but mostly this one)

[@tonyt8765]

fresh air , pure air wow , I miss crossing the Atlantic ocean while in the Navy. I have to admit I do miss looking up at the night clear sky and watching the stars , and the sound of the waves . I miss you ocean.

[@hughtwg]

You've raised the bar for sailing vlogs.

[@syexplorarconmigo8853]

Hugh Caldwell Agreed-- and thankful someone started a NEW TREND.... ~Selah

[@ProteusRising]

Dude. Breathless. These leave us breathless.

[@MrTalkingzero]

Sailing and Alan Watts, your life is now complete. Thank you for this great video.

[@MikeFlyItAll]

This is Awesome work thank you for sharing...Salty cahoonas is what this is...

[@sailingdreams7699]

I know this might be old but it makes my heart sing your dreams and how you present this is inspiring to mankind keep it simple and my life is grand always be there for your friends to give them a hand it'll come back tenfold so they say I love you Brothers in every way.

[@cforlong]

This is one my favourite videos on KZbin. I've watched it several times. It is ... ethereal . So much blood runs through my veins watching it.

[@Robirlam]

Classic footage. Reminds me so much of a time back in '82 when I sailed a 65 foot ketch from Falmouth in the UK to Cape Town, South Africa. Around the bulge of Africa, and also the 'wrong way round'. Thanks for evoking the amazing memories of that trip and life at sea!

[@alisonpritchard7536]

This was one of the videos that inspired me to cross the Indian Ocean in 2019. Incredibly good videography and editing. I can watch this time and time again. Thank you.

[@nataschapermadi2659]

Me too.....

[@tlh1981]

Your vids so good I've watched it multiple times. I'm bout to hike a mtn or something. Gets the adventure juices flowing.

[@cotillion567]

Great job guys. Sitting here in the comfort of my home, as the storm approached, I had the same butterflies in my stomach that I would normally associate with leaving port on a dark night.

[@rosewood1]

This is one of the best sailing videos of a voyage on KZbin. love it.

[@jsigona1985]

outstanding all around... keep at it boys! great share!

[@hobsonschoice8649]

Enjoy it Men !! You don't know how many wish we could be in your shoes. Thanks for sharing .

[@esool64]

Great sailors. Outstanding story tellers. Real men. What a pleasure to internalize this clip with all my senses. Good on you, guys!

[@sokoleoko6539]

WOW you guys are one of the best story tellers i have ever listen to. Thank you :)

[@simondunster2284]

Great photography mixed with an old style commentary , love it !

[@redMaple_QC]

Wow. It's the most visually poetic sailing video I've seen so far.

[@dlsbob]

LOVE that video! What a fun ride! Wouldn't want to do it on a 'lesser' boat. I loved the sound of the water and three quotes that stood out . . . "That's the last time we'll think about reefing early without actually doing it" "And now there is no escape, our asses belong to the sea" "No matter how uncomfortable, this endeavor was spectacular"

[@idksailing910]

You guys never disappoint.....always a delight to watch your videos!

[@SeaChangevoyage]

Thanks for your endless support, idk!

[@ThatPNWlyfe]

you guys are shooting and editing this beautifully. Love it. Thanks!

[@pietvanzyl984]

Guys, a masterpiece. Just keep on what you're doing, you will always get negative people and comments, no matter what. At least you had about 94% positive remarks and compliments. You guys rock. I wait for the next one. Piet

[@arooskidood]

my goodness, the pup steals the show. really beautifully shot with great music. keep safe n

[@SeaChangevoyage]

Peanut is the real captan :) Thanks for watching Alyssa, thoughts if you floating around the atlantic..

[@SarahSchreck]

Man, this was beyond beautiful.

[@mscarey87]

Thank you so much for making these. I have been a sailor my whole life and I have been on trips as long as yours- I have never seen a video that I made me feel more nostalgic for those times. You have so perfectly captured the excitement, wonder, boredom, danger, beauty, discomfort, anticipation.... etc etc. I am so moved watching these films. Thank you.

[@HokieX]

I've been watching lots of sailing videos recently and with this one you guys shot to the top of my list of favorites. Great Job!

[@g.gordonwoody645]

Still the best sailing video ever put on KZbin. Thanks again man.

[@svmoorglade3957]

Absolutely stunning! You've eloquently captured my feeling when at sea ....

[@ronaldwhite5670]

Great photography, excellent imagination giving brilliant visions. Music ......brilliant. And my favourite in this world and my next.....a dawg. The best I’ve seen. Now subscribed.

[@chiefenumclaw7960]

inclement weather & rough seas is my favorite kind of sailing. thanks for the excellent video.

[@danielwampler7375]

This is the best video on sailing I have seen thus far. It's exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks.

[@xTibra]

even the same taste in music it seems. I simply love your movies. Your live, your call!

[@alejandrocaraballo2762]

I laughed and cried watching your videos... what a wonderful dream you are living, boys, and what a well done job showing it like this! I'm a photographer, a post producer and a sailor... believe me, I totally got every second. Be safe, enjoy and keep 'em coming!

[@jandradventures]

Hey guys, amazing cinematography. It really pulls you in and is a pleasure to watch. Loved the raw feeling of it. A++ job. Well done.

[@Mark9743]

Addictive. Take me with you.

[@charlesorcharlenepastore4657]

Ive watched this 3rd video 30 to 50 times and still cant get enough . I love that song ,,, One of these days . And hearing Alan watts on the short wave radio while chopping vegetables

[@Grant-vk6zo]

I could taste the salt air with this video. Nice job capturing the trip.

[@ilonkaroetgerink973]

I love the calmness and coolness you guys have. Am also on the turning point of stepping out of our comfort zone and start living the dream. Your videos are a real help !! Thanks a lot guys and good luck !!

[@thomasconroy4684]

I really admire you guys and wish you safe travels.

[@drmickmahan]

You guys are inspirational! Your story resonantes with a dream I have had my whole life. Thank you and more please.

[@martinibabyrun]

Best sailing video .....no words !

[@SailingPauHana]

Now that's what I call sailing. We only just discovered your channel today, but we are definitely subscribing to follow this odyssey. The sailing, the narration, the music, the video and editing were near perfection. Great job guys.

[@CedarMcKay]

I’m watching this this at sea, the same sea, a hundred miles south of Haiti, also sailing the wrong way. Fun to compare and contrast with our own trip, ours still underway. We are a lot more comfortable and a lot less sexy than you fellows, but still a joy to be out here.

[@mrCharliehurst]

these are some of the best sailing video series I've seen love what your doing. keep up the good work. and thanks for sharing.

[@cb-jp5xn]

Great video guys!

[@dezzie50]

Poetry for the eyes and ears, just beautiful. Please make more videos!!!

[@barrypittman2199]

The dog though! He's always like, what am I doing here??

[@luiscalvo4244]

without a doubt one of the best sailing videos i've seen so far in youtube. Outstanding fellas!!

[@MrWastedSaint]

Production values and concept blow other sailing videos out of the water. Beautifully produced and I enjoyed it emmensely.

[@travisjohng3492]

Happy to finally see professional quality video on sailing. Love your video that allows me to feel the wind, splash, and movement as if I was there. Thanks.

[@rodsteyn5321]

Did the same trip with my son on a 38 ft sloop in sept/November last year. Left Panama just after hurricane Mathew. Sailed to Trinidad via SAN blade, Jamaica, Haiti, and st Martin. A tough sail. Well you guys, great video.

[@jfranti]

These are fantastic videos! I follow a lot of sailing channels, and you're climbing to the top of the list already. Amazing quality, great voice overs, and I love how you're letting the images speak for themselves. Keep going!

[@thearchibaldtuttle]

Sailing myself and this pretty summarizes it all why I like it!

[@jbk1961]

Just love what you guys are doing. Beautiful boat, video, narrative, 'and your little dog too'..

[@louispotvin2029]

Absolutely stunning filmmaking guys. Felt like watching a movie. Some scenes reminded me of Kieslowski, no less. Keep it up!

[@clifflong1203]

This video sucks you in like watching endless summer all those years ago...awesome job boys!😎👌

[@Cosmic__Radiation]

You know, when I was a kid I always dreamed of going on some grand adventure that would carry me many miles. Discover new places (places I've never been) with me and my mates. Then as time passed, in my teens that dreamed has still followed me. Now I've never knew how my adventure would start, nor where it would take me. But I've never really cared about that, I just wanted to go. Now in my early twenties, the sea beckons me to go on that adventure and ride the gales of fate to my adventure! I envy you and crew for the adventure I have not yet sailed. Yet, one day that call for adventure will call for me so hard I will have no other option than to weigh anchor and set sail!

[@jonjobaggins8340]

The dog's face at the beginning, its got "fuuuuck my owners are batshit" written all over it.

[@brendawoods5968]

Enjoyed your video. Brought back my sailing memories across the Atlantic on our trimaran.

[@idksailing910]

You guys are doing an amazing job! Look at how many new subscribers you have (so proud).....you are getting a ton of views! You guys deserve it, and I wish you all the best. Keep the videos coming. Sea Change is one of a kind.

[@svsonora8102]

I saw this video a long time ago when you guys just came out with it. I was looking for it again today. Glad I found it! Fair seas

Wow - excellent footage guys. Can't wait to see what's to come

[@julieta203]

Great video guys, actually its fantastic!. As someone who is new to sailing and wants to learn im sick of seeing these bikini clad click bait sailing BS vids. This is raw, informative, realistic and all sailing! Think found my new fav sailing channel. Cheers and safe sailing.

[@Youggen]

I really like this video. Such an inspiration well done !

[@jtclarke]

Really enjoyed this. Makes me think how much I can't wait for my 6month sailing trip next yr :)
