Avocet looks so lovely with her new mainsail. Can't wait to see more of the shenanigans from Catalina! Hi guys, looking forward to the adventure that lies ahead!! 😍 What a beautiful yacht! You're looking good! I don't think you want to chill out for a week, you want to warm up! Keep embracing the journey and keep those amazing videos coming! Fair winds and smooth sailing, my friends! ⛵️🌊😊

[@sailingavocet]

My new fav sailors!! Thanks for the great video! Fins up and fair weather to you both! As a solo sailor of over 40 years mostly Atlantic, caribbean and European waters i can tell you your eyes will learn to discern that kelp etc at night lol it comes with time 👍🏼💙

[@sailingavocet]

Ahoy! thanks for watching - more videos on the way!

[@This_da_life]

Been watching you two for about 3 weeks now , your channel is great Marissa is so beautiful and articulate, Chris your really smart and I’ve learned a lot from your channel , you two are a great couple ✌🏽❤ From : SF Bay Area

[@sailingavocet]

Awh! Thank you so much! Thats so sweet. More videos on the way!

[@pacifico4268]

I own a Mason 43 that's in excellent condition. Which perhaps is why I also admire your boat. I see you've really put a lot of thought and quality improvements to her. Sail on!!

[@sailingavocet]

Chris’s mom has a Mason 43 - Sea Castle :)

[@pacifico4268]

We're in La Paz, maybe I'll run into you down here@@sailingavocet

[@mattdouglas5570]

That new main looking great certainly flies up the mast looks effortless, great work Marissa getting up there early morning

[@sailingavocet]

CHEERS!

[@mandygibson272]

Loved learning about your new sail plan! Very cool😎⛵️and John was stoked to see his wetsuit getting some use😂

[@sailingavocet]

Hell yah! Still going strong 5 years later 😝

[@kirkfelmar2944]

Have a good crossing.

[@sailingavocet]

Cheers!

[@summitconstruction8257]

GREAT VIDEO!!!! I loved the new style!

[@sailingavocet]

Thanks buddy!

[@David-k9h2t]

A long time ago.... Sorry your stay in Morro Bay was trying. It's our home Port and yes, the weather that time of year can be quite discouraging. Carry on!

[@sailingavocet]

No worries!

[@thatsharksfan__5891]

Looking forward to this one!

[@sailingavocet]

:)

[@AthelstanEngland]

Love the video although personally I'd remove the music especially when the engine is off. Yours is my favourite yacht of any sailing channel (think I may have mentioned that several times before!!) and I'd love to just hear the creeking and the ocean. Oh and 16:19 "I made that my...self" was pure Forest Gump!!! :)

[@sailingavocet]

📝 thank you!!!

[@kindsailing]

We love your story and are looking forward to the next episode. Loved the description of the changes you made in the main design. As we said on the last video, more please!

[@sailingavocet]

more videos on the way!!!

[@joemiller8029]

Love your video! Thanks so much for making. I'm jealous! I prepared for my own trip for the last 13 years, and in the course of that "rescued" some kittens that became 9. I love them and can't bear the thought of sailing with them (the thought of losing one) so we cashed in on our boat and bought a cat house instead. So now I live my adventure through your videos. You guys make some really outstanding videos and I am really happy for you!

[@sailingavocet]

You are a saint! Thank you for giving the kitties a home 💕

[@appick01]

It's always a pleasure to put up a fresh sail and feel the difference a properly shaped sail makes. Also we don't really care what you look like while out on passage, Most of the time its under way with hair in our faces and 2 day old clothes soaked with sunscreen and sweat. We know its not the glamorous side of sailing, just embrace it an be your charming selves on camera, perfect hair and makeup be damned.

[@sailingavocet]

You are too kind 💕

[@adrenazanetti3660]

Exactly! Heart of a sailor! 💙👍🏼

[@kkots]

Such a good episode guys! I love the overall vibe and the presentation style. Seeing the docks in Ventura reminded me of when we first met you guys parked next to the Mason! I’m digging the new main too. After trucking down to Mexico with it how is the sail performing?

[@user-retsailor]

Thanks for the lesson on sail design ! The new sail looks fabulous. Who did the rope work on your helm wheel ? Absolutely awesome ! I'm retired Navy and haven't seen great line work like that in a long time. Forgot to mention how good the bulwarks looked after Marissa did them in Santa Cruz. Be safe you two......

[@sailingavocet]

Our pleasure! I (Marissa) did that :) it took the better half of two weeks and I actually show a clip of it in our boat tour video that was posted recently. We JUST oiled the bulwarks again! Its a yearly endeavor now, but much easier down here south of the boarder to throw on a bikini and soak up the sunshine while doing it :)

[@user-retsailor]

@@sailingavocet ropework on the helm absolutely lovely. Good job !

[@sailingavocet]

HAPPY 100 YOU COCONUTS

[@kevinwayne7546]

Fun!

[@sailingavocet]

cheers!

[@debbydhill]

I missed your Halloween content. I realize it's hard to do while your sailing, just wanted you to know I enjoy them.

[@sailingavocet]

OH DEBBY!!! Thank you for saying that! So sorry we didn’t make a video this year, we were actually on land for the holiday!

[@DowneastThunderCreations]

👍👍👍

[@sailingavocet]

As always, thank you so much for watching!

[@russbowlus]

What happens to old sails? Are they recyclable?

[@sailingavocet]

Great question! Old sails can be recycled in a few ways: they can go to live on some other boat (if they have some life left in them), you can send them off to companies that use the material to make bags and accessories OR donate to foundations like Sails4Shelter which use old sails to create shelters for the homeless.

[@russbowlus]

@@sailingavocet awesome, thanks!

[@briandale8386]

Was that a Budweiser flag . Pretty cool . And a new sail . Life’s good.

[@sailingavocet]

Good eye 😉

[@christophermetz9196]

Hi marissa how was your Halloween

[@sailingavocet]

It was great!!

[@chriskid8775]

hot tip from chris. pour warm water down ur wet suit before u get in water.

[@sailingavocet]

good tip!

[@Baylessfishes]

Why aren’t you trolling for blue fin tuna?

[@sailingavocet]

Well Marissa doesn’t eat fish and Chris hates blood on the decks 😅

[@Baylessfishes]

Y’all gunna starve! Lol. Have fun. Born and raised fishing SoCal / Mexico.

[@sailingavocet]

Marissa comes from a family of anglers and lived by the sea her whole life - we are all confused as what happened haha been in Mexico for 5 months and can confirm she has ate at least 3 fish tacos.

[@Baylessfishes]

I swear the word fish is what gets them….. lol. Catch up the videos! 5 months!

[@Baylessfishes]

Ceviche? None?

[@sjeffreyw]

[@sailingavocet]
