Steph is a dream come true. The quintessential Asian beauty with the brains and work ethic to match. Travis is no slouch either and his skill set and intelligence is mighty impressive. Great food selection and good luck and fair winds on your upcoming passage

[@SailingJibsea]

Thanks for the kind words. I know it’s meant as a compliment but I feel race isn’t necessary to include when defining beauty. Beauty is beauty 🙂and I have to agree, Travis is pretty amazing! 😆

[@John-cq1ti]

@@SailingJibsea Since I live in Thailand and married to a Thai sweetheart I am preferential to Asian woman. I forgot you are a liberated woman so I will refrain from any further compliments and direct them to the countless beauties in Thailand who appreciate the compliments and thoroughly like them.

We have held out breath in tunnels for years! My friends thought I was crazy when I told them to do it on a recent road trip. We are all in our 60’s

[@SailingJibsea]

Haha no way! Amazing!🤣🤣

We like the longer videos, with sight seeing, shopping and all that stuff.✅

More to come!

[@MrFroglips69]

A very groovy episode. This is going to be an exciting crossing.

[@SailingJibsea]

Heck yes!🙌🏻

I thought Canada was metric and it was only the yanks that still use the old imperial units.

[@SailingJibsea]

It’s weird because we use both depending on what we’re referring to

[@PurelandQigong]

All the love and blessings for a safe journey.

[@soupheiress]

All those sailboats leaving reminded me of migratory bird flocks. It was a beautiful show. Glad you made it back to warm waters safely. As always, the videos are great and I love the intro song now.

[@SailingJibsea]

Yes! We called it the great migration. As we headed closer to the canaries, we saw so many more cruisers all making their way to the same place 😆

[@jerylabrams8408]

Great video, never too long, your passion is sincere, especially provisioning. I too love cooking, creating meals, we amaze ourselves in the space we have. The propane is great, but we are going with induction. We have the solar, and seeing other sailors, they use that daylight to use their instapots, and possibly baking in that convection oven. I have been doing research and my propane stove is old, so technology will help in our quest of gourmet meals. Yeah that hammock is big, but, it does work, I am hanging mine in the main head, not over the toilet. Smells great in there, and it’s cooler too! Be safe in your passage, Fair Winds, S/V Far Niente 👍😎⛵️

[@joemckibben7757]

You guys seem like the kind of people I’d like to have as neighbors. Love your content!

[@carlray7224]

Escapism at its best! Certainly better than television😂 Very impressed how Steph is so much across the provisioning aspect. Is confident in her planning and no chance HER boat is going to run out of food. Much enjoyed!

[@SailingJibsea]

Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

[@mikejelinek1413]

As a Phoenician, it does look like you are driving in Arizona looks nice there. Good luck with your Atlantic passage.

[@SailingJibsea]

Thank you so much 😀

[@svbettybelle]

roll tinfoil around the banana root, dont mix with other fruits, store separate. rinse all fruits with fresh water once its on the boat. remove package of food and store in containers. saves waste and garbage. includes pasta, cardboard boxes, etc.

[@SailingJibsea]

Thank you for the tips! We did make a habit of washing produce bc of all the potential bugs!

[@JN-mr5rd]

First rate again guys. My humble opinion, don't change your recipe. It all works perfect, great content, polished storytelling and exceptional videography. Sailing and seeing the world on a budget relates with your viewers. It keeps you authentic and obtainable from our, the viewers, perspective. Your salty growth shows through the lens building your reputation stronger and stronger in the sailing community. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us and making it feel like you've taken us along. I tip my hat to you both. Always look forward to Friday's vid drop. Stay safe and salty on your journey. 😊

[@SailingJibsea]

Thanks so much. We do what works and is true to us so it’s nice to hear the positive feedback

[@ptatton]

You two are so impressive. Have a safe and enjoyable passage.

[@SailingJibsea]

Thank you!☺️

[@dansiwek3593]

I just love you two and your zest for life, always smiling. I also love these vlogs where I get to see Islands in the middle of the ocean, thank you so much for creating, I was waiting for this video! lol :)

[@SailingJibsea]

The islands in the middle of the Atlantic have all been some of our absolute faves. So rugged and different

[@timherzog6720]

I love watching crossings. Safe travels you guys.

[@SailingJibsea]

Perfect because we’ve got lots of crossing footage coming up!

[@karendunn4140]

Love your videos but I must admit I struggled with the sound ? Not sure if it’s my old age !

[@SailingJibsea]

Sorry! May be from the wind/engine at times

[@jonathanscott550]

very nice video. And I was surprised those two tanks of propane will last you approximately 8 months. I think your food purchases were well thought out. With the produce and fruit, I've seen a lot of boaters hanging outside the boat, but the same number from the inside. Sometimes in and out. As time goes by, you'll figure out where exactly those hanging produce and fruit will finally go. Personally, for me I do think where you have it hanging in this video will be getting in then way. Hope the weather window for you leaving was a good one. Catch you next video.

[@SailingJibsea]

as in that’s a long while or short while?😅 it’s nice to know even though we cook so much, we don’t need to search for a refill/new tank every few weeks

[@TurgutKalfaoglu]

Very nice video, thanks. Have a safe crossing. Btw, sometimes we are having trouble understanding your voice. Could it be your microphone? Canaries looked interesting.

[@SailingJibsea]

Sometimes that could be an issue with wind/the engine on. Hopefully you could still make sense of what we were saying 😣

[@RichardSwinton]

Hi fellow canadians. I m from BC. thought i would subscribe and follow u across the Atlantic. Never get tired of watching a sailboat move throgh the ocean. Be safe

[@SoItGoesCAL34]

Wow, that dinghy dock wasn't there when we were. I don't know about now, but 30 years ago we went to the market in town to get produce. They were experienced with cruisers making the crossing and would give you green and not qutie as green tomatoes, and other veggies that would last a long time. Plus we wrapped stuff in brown paper. It was free delivery to the marina, too. We had a lot of popcorn for evening watches. It was a great experience.

[@SailingJibsea]

Def helpful for the cruisers! I bet lots has changed since then for sure

[@fk8marko774]

I can see what time has done to those Dinghy chaps man oh man, i had to stop watching Jibsea videos to watch a Jibsea video hahaha, I love this longer format, like a mini movie!! Those sand dunes were super COOL! Hopefully no more canned Green beans hahahah, old Jibsea joke from the Bahamas 🤣

Thank you!

[@brownnoise357]

I’m prejudiced, I don’t think you can beat Propane for cooking tbh, but my next Sailboat I’ll have enough Solar plus wind with good battery storage plus a high output alternator on the inboard diesel engine, so it will be really worth getting one of those portable induction hobs, and use that to get everything up to cooking temperature before finishing cooking with Gas, which should save a heck of a lot of Gas. Electric does work well with slow cookers/ Crockpots, as well as with Bread makers.I think it’s the appliances and cookware that I like, which have forced me into getting a bigger boat tbh.Bob . PS Damn, almost forgot the Toasted Sandwich Maker. 🤣🤣🤣

[@SailingJibsea]

Hahaha it sounds like you e got all the appliances!! Wish we had the space for all those, but I guess it’s a good thing the propane burns slow and we get lots of cooking time with each tank

[@brownnoise357]

@@SailingJibsea Unlike Butane, Propane still works in extreme cold too, and the frost on the Tank works as a level indicator for how much Gas you have left.🤣👍Bob. ⛵️❤️

[@brownnoise357]

@@SailingJibsea Well tbh, they're the ones I've had, and made most use of, another really good to have on a boat, is a pressure cooker, and the nicest ones I've had so far, have been a small and medium sized zstainless Steel ones I got from Amazon in the USA. The very worst appliance I've bought, was an alcohol Cooker I bought and installed - Never Again, the times I got burned and the Alcohol it Consumed was far from good. Best Wishes. Bob. 👍🌟🌟🌟❤️

[@BrianStDenis-pj1tq]

Your video is so good it made me watch your shopping. As for provisioning... I didn't see nearly enough rum, beer, whisky. Are you sure you can make it?? :)

[@johnrathbun2943]

I'm very curious about your boat. You said your boat is a Hunter 42. When ever I see a Hunter it reminds me of a Catalina. But everyone talks bad about Hunters. What are your thoughts about the Hunter boat? What do you think the Hunter needs? The Catalina doesn't get bad reviews but the Hunter does. Everyone says the reason why they are so cheap is because they use really bad equipment and undersized gear. Can you give me your input? I noticed that you have a keel stepped mast. Catalina don't have keel stepped masts. But I do like the inside of your boat.

[@SailingJibsea]

Not sure where the bad rep for what seems to be only towards Hunters came from but from our personal experience with our model, we have no complaints. Everything is solid, hence trusting her ability to carry us across the ocean now twice and over 20k nm

[@GordointheCreek]

I already use PIA 😁 thanks tho. I also recommend it lol 👍👍💛✨
