Saving a Sailboat before it HITS A WALL…& Why We’re SELLING OUR BOAT - Ep 68

[@jamesallen278]

Nice job guys. The sailing community is full of people who desire to help themselves but don’t think twice to helps others. Great people. Glad you fit in perfectly.

[@SailingJibsea]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@generossano2800]

Thanks for the heads up on the "for sale ads for gigsea. Much good luck. You have kept gibsea in stellar condition with very professional improvements, upgrades and repairs. Anyone buying her would be lucky to get a boat in such good condition. Quote me if you like. Nice save with the rescue of the dragging sailboat.

[@jspice-kl2wc]

Great video, thank you.

[@SailingJibsea]

We’re glad you enjoyed it!

[@donmassey7492]

You guys are awesome jumping in to save that boat. You should be proud i would hate to think how much money you saved them along with the emotional cost. 👍👍

[@SailingJibsea]

We’ve been there! The cruising community is amazing

[@HopeOfJoe]

Always good to entertain expanded horizons. Great episode‼️ ✌️ ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝👙🌞✨

[@callieduval3000]

You both have a very nice boat but it's good to always stay on the lookout for something else you may like.

[@lacfilms8345]

Good on ya- Jibsea. Rescuing another cruiser's boat dragging anchor like that. That got a thumbs up from me right away. Well done Steph & Travis. Yeah it has been a year- it did fly right by for you two. U both have come a long way in that time. It is ok on the possibility of an upgrade to your current boat status to- a bigger home 4 us? I have enjoyed your journey, thanks for bringing us all along. Look forward to your maybe new adventures on Jibsea 2 in 2022? Mast up, keel down with a favorable wind to guide the both of you to new adventures to come.

[@SailingJibsea]

Thank you for continuing to follow along!!

[@BohemianBeatster]

Nice job on the boat save. Canadian heroes. Stay groovy and stay safe.

[@svbarryduckworth628]

I figured that this was exactly what was happening with listing Jibsea. Being in the cheap seats and not riding the first class Patreon cabins I didn't expect to be let in on all the inside plans. It would be good entertainment to watch you guys switch boats and do more DIY fixxer-upper and personalization jobs.

[@SailingJibsea]

We appreciate every view from every seat! 😆 it’s nice to sometimes not have a huge project underway where we can enjoy our surroundings. But then again, a boat is a boat and there’s always a project…the smaller the better though😂

[@theveteran2138]

Those guys were trying to steal it!

[@musicsavesxlives]

Happy exploring is fun I do the same thing! We had 26ft sea ray and looking into a Cameraman soon! Best of luck! Sweetest couple so much fun exploring with your travels!

[@SailingJibsea]

Aw thanks for watching! Good luck with the search!

[@benoitk8882]

tell us more about the "new" (potential) boat...! What model is it???!

[@ssheldon1969]

I saw your ad on "for sale by owner" website and I thought, "either Steph is pregnant or somebody convinced them that they need a full keel hull boat for ocean crossing." Wrong on both counts. May you two keep having fair winds and following seas!

[@SailingJibsea]

💯

[@mikefox1332]

I have followed you from the start, and will continue to. Wishing you good luck!

[@SailingJibsea]

🥰 amazing! We appreciate it !

[@johnbbrose486]

We also like Guadeloupe if you haven't been there. The pastries are great on the French islands. Glad you could help the other cruiser out.

[@SailingJibsea]

Couldn’t agree more! Baguettes and croissants yum!

[@ScottTOFM]

Good for you guys! Keep pushing toward the next dream!!!

[@SailingJibsea]

You know it! 😀

[@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643]

Keeping your options open is always a good idea. While I'm not superstitious, I can't ignore how things seem to happen for a reason.

[@SailingJibsea]

Totally agree. Everything happens for a reason!

[@jamesrhodes6462]

Hope it sells and you get what you want.

[@cd4222]

Great job guys!

[@SailingJibsea]

Thank you!

[@rogerhache4588]

You guys are awesome 👏 👏👏, but for a short second you had me scared 😱 , sell the boat!!!! But now that I know the why , I hope the new one will be a full boat, not half a boat (a Catamaran ) Hope that your plan do comes to fruition.

[@sailingseahawk2012]

Yuck 🤮 cats may be fast on a beam reach but suck upwind. So I hate hearing how fast they are because they really aren’t. And I can’t imagine being out in one in heavy seas.

[@DVolvoguy777-x7o]

Thanks for proving the Passage a capable blue water cruiser. This is one of my dream boats but money is never there.

[@SailingJibsea]

She’s been a great boat! No complaints. Thanks for following along!

[@daneulekowski929]

With 20k subs. in a year there's no telling how far this will take you. Have fun guys

[@SailingJibsea]

Thanks for the encouraging words! ☺️

[@svblackbird]

We're in the same boat so to speak. If it sells then great if not then no biggie. Like the others I'm curious, what are you looking at upgrading to?

[@wayneanderson1641]

I didn't see the advertisement for your boat. Would you like to post it?

[@TheBeatlemanic]

You guys are HEROS !! Wow! Nice open Market. Brandon, I do the same thing you do look at what's out there For Sale and curious. I have a 60 ft. Motor Yacht fully loaded. This vessel is NEVER For Sale market valve keeps going up. However, the Boats I have looking at range 2m thru 9 million. Yes, I would own them both. But I need to hit the damn Lotto first..lol. Hope you get your guys dream boat. I have mine now, but wanting just a little more.

[@SailingJibsea]

Oh wow 2-9m. Floating luxuries I’m sure! ps: I think ya meant Travis 🤣

[@TheBeatlemanic]

@@SailingJibsea Your right Travis, Brandon is your other Lover..LOL.

[@ajkgordon]

Just a small correction. Martinique is a French overseas department rather than a territory. It's an integral part of France and the EU.

[@jimlofts5433]

same as New Caledonia

[@ajkgordon]

@@jimlofts5433 No. New Caledonia is a separate overseas collectvity. It differs quite significantly from an overseas department in that it is much more independent. It has its own currency, is not part of the EU, has a certain amount of independence in its foreign policy, can create its own laws, and has its own president and government. An overseas department is essentially the same as any department within metropolitan mainland France with a few minor differences in political representation, e.g. it's both a department and a region.

[@rainfinger]

Keep you boat, you will be happier.

[@Sailing.Artemis]

great job guys

[@SailingJibsea]

Thank you!

[@JohnPaul-ts8dq]

👍👍

[@raycaydog]

What was the other boat? Catamaran?

[@Da89soup]

Karma is real so hopefully you guys built some good Karma up for the next time you need it. Nice Save! Glad you addressed what you are doing with Jib Sea and why as I have been wondering about it since you posted on Patreon a while back that she was up for sale... Must be a Cat you are looking at as Jib Sea's floor plan with the rear cabin and center cockpit is hard to beat IMO.

[@jackfarmer3336]

Again great video I loved the teaser on the title about selling the boat 🤬 now hope you get what you want big question is what boat are you two looking at?

[@peterr4464]

On thru Panama and over to Australia :)

[@timnoneya811]

What kind of anchor did that boat have and was it a sandy bottom?

[@SailingJibsea]

Believe it was a CQR and the water was quite murky. Sand bottom and potentially some grass

[@timnoneya811]

@@SailingJibsea that's interesting. Lucky you guys were there!!! That's a great lesson and reminder for all of us.

[@itsmePassport]

What's your price.

[@jimlofts5433]

no lagoon 450's

[@itsmePassport]

Could have sold it to me. I have been looking for a hunter 42.

[@brianbell7117]

Does everyone leave keys for engine on boat down there? Heading down next year, but i never leave keys onboard

[@SailingJibsea]

Not sure how many people do it but we were told it’s common practice for instances like this!

[@Adofri-Sailing]

I am happy and I am not them ;-) Hope you guys are around when mine drifts

[@SailingJibsea]

Hope you’re never in the situation but the sailing community is pretty amazing

[@Escapadeaj]

Yeah if you sell a catamaran is the way to go, or trimaran. Lol.

[@davidburnham5411]

The reason Trav you did not get any offers was you did not advertise that "Steph" came with the boat :) Everyone needs a solid first mate!

[@FubarKen]

Sink the boat and keep Steph, she is priceless.

[@bavariasuhl]

hmmm ...change it up guys, find a niche ... other channels have much more to offer .... ..

[@SailingJibsea]

Our “niche” is sharing our journey. You haven’t had one pleasant thing to say the past few videos yet keep watching and commenting…so thank you😊

[@dgasmd1]

have been watching your videos from the beginning. Must admit I did not like the "princess attitude" of this chick, but as time ha gone by it is obvious it has come down tremendously. Less make up, less attitude, far more natural looking, and far more friendly. Now I really want to see the rest of the story...............

[@SailingJibsea]

No idea what “princess attitude” you’re referring to but this “chick” is happy to hear you’ve been following along via all the videos she’s been editing and has been true to who she is since day one iho 🙃

[@dgasmd1]

@@SailingJibsea No offense was intended. We all evolve over time, and you have for sure. First few videos showed attitude, too much make up, "I can't get wet princess attitude", etc. You are pretty without it all, and now it shows even more as a lot of the "city bullshit" has also come off you. Enjoy the journey!!! It was actually a huge compliment even if I am not evolved enough to show it.
