Episode 251
Recently we sailed our tiny home all the way from Florida, 1000 nm to Newport Rhode Island. Along the way we have encountered some tricky paths. From the tight shallow entrance of Ocracoke, North Carolina to bendy, thin waters of Oregon Inlet to the rip roaring cut of Ocean City, Maryland and today we are going to brave The Devil’s Belt. Never heard of that? Well let me tell you a story, as legend has it, the local Sewanoy people chased the devil out of their tribal area in present-day Westchester. The devil picked up huge boulders and tossed them into the sound, using them as stepping stones to make his escape south onto Long Island. Since then many ships have been lost trying unsuccessfully to maneuver around these stones and other rocky reefs in what you may know as Long Island sound.

Beau, 65F is 19C, and that's a pleasant day here in Ireland. If you complained of the cold in those temperatures, we'd be calling you what some people affectionately call their cats!😂... Great video and beautiful sunset. Good luck in the Big Apple. "It'll be fine" ... Stay Safe & Fair Winds!! ☘

[@BeauAndBrandy]

hahaha. thanks for always giving us a nice laugh :)

[@ronkirk5099]

The tidal current running through the Sound really puts up a chop or standing waves at the east end. While transiting these waters and towing my inflatable dingy, the dingy nearly jumped into the cockpit of my sailboat when pushed by the following seas. After that day, I vowed to NEVER tow my dingy again, but to stow it safely aboard while underway.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

YIKES!!

[@donlindell1994]

Like a grilled cheese sandwich with a bowl of warm tomato soup… I feel all snuggly and comfy after watching this episode. You both look almost as amazing as those sunsets, they were simple awe inspiring. Nothing better than when you two let your camera skills run free and there were so many little vignettes that stood out today. Loved the editing.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

aww thanks

[@Grandpacarlreacts]

Port Washington is my home town. I grew up there. Free mooring balls for up to 3 nights plus a water taxi to get you to shore and the grocery store is just across the street from one of the docks.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

We wish we could have spent more time in that area! but it was GETTIN' COLD!! lol. we are winter wimps.

[@Grandpacarlreacts]

@@BeauAndBrandy me too!

[@Grandpacarlreacts]

@@BeauAndBrandy how far ahead are your videos? Are you heading south? I did that trip a few years ago.

[@user-gi3uf6lj5o]

What a wonderfup issue. Thank you for including us in your sunset. Cheers

[@chrismoore5174]

The music and pacing so relaxing and just what I needed this morning. Can't get enough of hearing the water move past Saoirse.

[@oliverjohn5566]

15:00 That's right! It's going to be 21 years since I first visited Long Island sound(Orchard Beach The Bronx summer 2003) My favorite place on the East Coast My home away from home(Peruvian coast, Playa Venecia 🇵🇪⚓️🌊) Thank you for the great video!

[@wsb326]

You must have had a submarine nearby. There is a base nearby. That is probably why the area was kept clear.

[@marcnetterfield3353]

Coming from the desert I totally relate to bundling up an extreme amount. My friends in cold places think I'm insane but my body is just not accustomed to being below 70f. I am always ready to throw on my snow gear and hide from the chill.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

So happy we are in good company! not all of us can handle the frigid temps of 65 LOL

[@karen4888]

Hi Guys. I met you at the boat show in Newport. Being so close to the war college we have some meetings/conventions that have dignitaries from all over the world. I think it was an event with all the governors of the United States when you there. Sometimes we r sailing just north of the Newport Bridge and will have to move due to training exercises etc. being conducted.

[@seanmolony-redstickastro238]

Good Friday Morning! Raining but not 27degrees. Cooking white beans and rice. This is why you save the Christmas ham bones! Peace and safe travels. Sean

[@BoatingJourney]

Right before Beau put the "noodles" in the pot, I looked at scott and said "They're crunchy"; then Beau said it, then Brandy. Lol! Safe travels!!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

🤣😂

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

I'm not a fan of being cold either. Stay warm & safe travels. ❤

[@BeauAndBrandy]

we will be warm SOON!

[@ppumpkin3282]

No one has called it the devils belt for three hundred years.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

fun facts ;)

[@dennispatrick4999]

Learned to sail off West Islip, NY... Beautiful beaches and sailing.

[@scottmarkham9466]

We had a wind chill of 29° last week ! Most rain in at least ten years ! 81° yesterday and the same tomorrow(Friday).

[@kristaready8812]

The city and the moon looked amazing in that last scene! 🤗💞

[@BeauAndBrandy]

it was unreal!! what a teaser on sailing into the city!!

[@craigkepchar2619]

That was great filming and editing!! It'll be fun and rolly, with all the traffic in the bay. I remember watching Uma anchor out by the statue of liberty and the multiply ferries going by during the day.

[@williamralph5442]

Beau looks like Nanuck of the North. In my younger days I spent many hours on the Sound. The Race is known for great fishing due the strong currents. Summers were spent in Branford Harbor. The Thimble Island are worth visiting, tricky no navigate, but fun to tour. Happy sailing. Thanks guys😊

[@jsnowman77]

Funny guys!! 65F is 18Celcius which is basically summer weather up here in Finland. 😂🤗 Stay warm!!

[@smokeitup4203]

looking forward to you in 85 degree water with the scuba tanks on 🤣😂🤣safe sailing 😎

[@BeauAndBrandy]

YOU AND US BOTH! 🇧🇸

[@SaltySailor5050]

65 degrees! That’s what my air conditioner is set at!! You guys should have continued East into Buzzards Bay then thru the Cape Cod Canal. Great part of the world. Sail on… good luck.😊

[@johnrathbun2943]

You got to love it when you pull into some place and you find out that you aren't important enough to go there. Hate it when that happens! You should have told them that you are KZbin movie stars! 😊

[@philpaige9770]

As a native Rhody who now lives in Alaska it was fun to see the bays shoreline which I have nearly circumnavigated in a kayak. Definitely one of the best bays in the world. BTW, most people do not know that Rhode Island and New York share a common border that you passed heading into Long Island Sound. When was episode taking place? I also liked beau's Berber look all bundled up.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

I think that’s one of our favorite parts about traveling learning more about the places we visit. This was in October. We are behind bc we had so much footage of this trip up north.

[@user-dy9it1ey5d]

I don't know about you Beau. You suppose to be a Bo Buck. You are a young tough dude. All bundled up like Bo Doe. Lol. Love the show and the channel buddy keep up the good work

[@lambertodgr8]

I've done my share of cold weather sailing .retired to the philippnes, so now if i feel cold, i just switch off the AC .

[@BeauAndBrandy]

hahaha!! i bet its gorgeous there!

[@ALittleCLAIREification]

I love this. I know this video is a while back. Meanwhile - it was 43* in FL last week and, as a FL native, I did NOT sign up for that. Hubs is from Boston so he loves it You want 43* or 72* and sunny in the Winter?? Fight me. 😂 "It'll be fiinnne". lol Love you two.

[@toniavalon]

I definitely wear the same face cover when I going across the water as it gets really cold, however I’ve thought I look pretty scary.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

i do love how it brings out the blue in beau's eyes haha. since its the only thing I can see.

[@No.L1031]

Awe, I love the history lesson, thats so cool. ❤

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks, it was interesting to learn about!!

[@rickbailey7450]

I guess I'm allergic to big cities. We sailed our Watkins 27 from just south of Annapolis to Booth Bay Harbor, Maine in the summer of '22 (and back). The trip through NYC on the East River was my least favorite part. We stayed in port Washington for several nights also. It's a common-sense anchorage after transiting the East River, east-bound.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

honestly we thought the same, but something took ahold of us when we sailed through the east river. one of our most fun rides... but we still love the BIG BLUE sailing over big cities.

[@jenniferdavis8088]

Calico skies sailing is from new york, Manhattan area they could give you some pointers about the area!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

love those guys!

[@mrsmithdaddy]

You guys are the best. Thanks for the video!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

pearson gang unite!

[@popsoldboats3406]

Still watching your journey.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

you are the absolute best!!

[@bobbybronkhorst7129]

Love u guys, keeping it real as u always have!

[@charlesalcott7885]

Awesome video! Thank you. I'm from Chatham Cape Cod. Love watching ur sail up here in the Northeast.

[@nodogrunner]

Never tell Beau any of your secrets. When is the video of the new boat coming out? We all know on KZbin, that is why you are sailing North. I'm guessing a 40 ft. Pearson.😀

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Don’t we wish. 😎

[@williamoberlander7932]

Hi ! Love ❤️ Ya Guys! The " Real Deal! "

[@wadeshore]

Beau bundling up 😂

[@BeauAndBrandy]

i know...what a Florida baby! lol.

[@HughMcQ27]

Port Washington is where I learned to sail!⛵️ 🙌

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Definitely a nice place to do that I bet!

[@usmarine51519563]

Stepping stone light house.

[@user-dy9it1ey5d]

Lol I will go with sixty degrees it's chilly. I live in south florida right off of Like okachobee . Sixty five is not freezing I'm sure out in the boat though. With the wind hitting you it probably feels a lot colder that thal

[@BeauAndBrandy]

it sure is. we are definitely winter weather challenged though. our blood is use to the Caribbean weather.

[@user-dy9it1ey5d]

I hear your buddy.

[@user-dy9it1ey5d]

And i'm even from up north. And I just can't take that cold anymore Beau.

[@jeffgriglack9624]

Helped bring a friend's boat up from Norwalk, CT to RI with the current against us the whole time. We motored the whole way for 2 days. Next episode will take you through Hell Gate, which should be fun without an engine.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

honestly one of the BEST times we had on that sail!! can't wait to share!!

[@GypsyTinker2012]

Love Manhasset Bay. Enjoy hells gate! Be sure to not bicker and to point where you want the boat to go. There can be some big boils in there, even at the best of times. I've seen boats going backwards and in circles... Yall are probably already through though :D how far behind are the vids?

[@sailorjim7115]

Brrrrrrrr guys. Panama is the other way and warmer. I promise. 😅

[@BeauAndBrandy]

yes. lets get SOUTH now!

[@kimberlygraf5857]

65* is cold when you don't have a dodger and cockpit enclosure. We sailed in Long Island Sound in October, much colder than your September weather.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

we sure do wish we had that dodger and cockpit enclosure for sure!

[@carolwatson3454]

Ahh I loved my Pearson! ⛵️

[@michaellovell9625]

A very nice and relaxing video. That one sunset was just stunning. I enjoyed the blue eyed black hooded skipper. 😅 I would really enjoy a short update video about where you are at. Until next time be safe but have fun. ⛵🇺🇸

[@Bill23799]

Siwanoy is pronounced Sea-Wa-Noy. I grew up in New Rochelle, NY. which was settled on the shore of Log Island Sound which was part of the pathway used by the Siwanoy Indians.

[@isteniasabry4504]

You guys are so sweet ❤

[@moosesamli4569]

Beau, the bank robbers called, they want the headgear back 🤣🤣🤣

[@BeauAndBrandy]

hahaha.

[@jorgegorina3039]

❤🙌🏼👍🏻🙏🏻thank you

[@Inamorata.367]

Could you explain how you make up your bed between the P&S settees? We are on our Pearson 367 and as of now we sleep on the settees.Would like to get back being beside each other.Our Vberth is our garage. Thanks and we really enjoyed your channel.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

we have a removeable stool that we insert to the port settee which makes a C with the settee and the forward bulkhead seat. we then can lower the table down and the cushion along the forward bulkhead lays on top of that. then the starboard settee pulls out. our whole salon is then one big settee. we then put our foam mattress on top to make it extra comfy.

[@Inamorata.367]

@@BeauAndBrandy Thanks very much. Fair winds and safe travels

[@maryjnorwood3962]

Wow….just gorgeous. Thanks for sharing the beauty with us. 😎🥰

[@ducatiparts966]

were you there in october, if so there were some high up navy commanders meeting at the naval war college just north of where you were anchored.

[@dougmarder]

720p max resolution? This deserves better.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

ugh we just notice this...dang it. we switched between programs and in the conversion it screwed it up. thanks for pointing it out so we can make sure it doesn't happen again.

[@jessereedpaintingsvmatador7009]

Need a Spray dodger for up here for sure

We would love to have one!

definitely a pro tip! who KNOWS what we were thinking lol.

Enjoy the silence content, but missing anything from your “pitstops“. Two days in Connecticut and nothing about it you can share? Maybe just a few quick shots and your take on the vibe.

[@la-gl4uh]

I'm new here. My suggestion - take a couple years off, earn some bread and purchase a catamaran. Those cat boats look to be the way to go instead of beating yourselves to death on your current ship. Just a suggestion.
