SAILOR GIRL’S POOR TIMING DURING ATLANTIC CROSSING (Part 4) - Ep 172

[@ylemoine1]

Love your filming and production style. Regarding the close calls in this episode and the stress that brings…Your AIS is a great help seeing traffic around you, are you also transmitting your MMSI so they know where you are, and are you reaching out to them by VHF to ask what their intentions are regarding course and proximity? Knowing they see you, that you each know the number of people on board, and an agreed route and closes point of approach takes a lot of stress out of passages like this, especially at night. If they had 5 on board doing 2 or 3 hour shifts all night, they might not have even thought that 1 mile was a little close, but for you guys it’s all hands on deck when the alarm goes off. Safe travels 😊

[@williamstreet4304]

Great idea to use the VHF. Late last year, we had a great conversation with Disney Magic about their intentions. They said they had been watching us and already changed course. As soon as we were off VHF, they changed course further to give us more room. As a commercial vessel, they were stand-on. But they chose to give way. Communications makes all the difference.

Your story telling skills keep getting better and it's wonderful you are sharing this sailing journey with us ✅💕

[@fk8marko774]

Steph, I know I say it constantly but your culinary prowess is something else!!!! That looked so darn good. Travis appeared to have high marks for it too hahaha. When I started watching these videos people were saying get used to eating rice and beans LOL, I Have yet to see a meal not fit for a restaurant come out of that galley. How is the sail tape holding up on Big Bird? looked ok to me. That Mahi was a nice one for sure and the subsequent meal....well you know haha. M&K

[@ssnobrakesable]

That General Tsu chicken looked fantastic !

[@scottgordon1781]

LOL , all that sea and you get 'tail gated ' :-) Would have asked them how close do they want to be ?

[@paulklebaum1682]

The Generals chicken is one of my favorites!❤

[@joemckibben7757]

Handy in the galley and with the gaff! She is a f#@kin badass!!!

[@dancampbell8149]

Your videos are getting better and better! You are definitely one of our favourites!! Steph needs to make a sailing cook book!! From one Cdn cruiser to another!

[@SailingJibsea]

We appreciate this so much! Working on it!!

[@lloydbrown9327]

Good to see you are making good time. Also eating good! She is a keeper! Stay safe! From the east coast of Canada 🇨🇦!

[@johnwalker6711]

White or Pink Zinc cream for the nose and face on those long voyages in the sun mate, wow that food looked great too

[@zenstitch9972]

5 Star cooking and sailing!!!

[@pmacgowan]

You such a great chef Steph !, my mouth is watering just watching you guys eat

[@robertnixon3816]

Just love the videos you post! They are so good! This is passagemaking at its best! Good food, fast sailing, making miles! Did I say good food? That was epic chicken! Sail on!

[@SailingJibsea]

Thank you so much 🫶🏻

[@MrFroglips69]

Exciting and very groovy episode. Fantastic food, great cook.

[@davidnichols147]

Steph, we think you should write a Sailing Cookbook, everything looks so delicious. Lets see if we have General Tso Sauce: Rice Vinegar, soy & hoisin sauce, chk broth, white sugar, brown sugar, minced ginger, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, cornstarch. Named after a Chinese leader from the Qing dynasty Zuo Zongtang whose Romanized name is Tso Tsungchug. Chef Peng invented the dish & served in Twain. From this original recipe, Chinese immigrants in the US developed the present day recipe in 1970. Have a safe and fun filled crossing!

[@SailingJibsea]

Workin on it! Super cool to know the history of it! It’s delicious.

[@Tim8mit]

you are so lucky, to see epic stars, now at night in Montreal almost none are visible due to the light pollution....I miss the stars

[@waynocook53]

Exelent teching!🤙

[@markamsterdam539]

nice video

[@HopeOfJoe]

D. A. M. N. ‼️ I got to eat at your house (boat). Mid meal looked fabulous. Seems like some great sailing, guys. Y. E. A. H. ‼️ 🎉 See you next time. ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨

[@scottgillam7752]

You guysareawesome wonderful video keep them coming Love it God Bless

[@thomasbrasse3145]

Good job guys!

[@jonathanscott550]

nice one you two looking forward to next video.

[@trailingarm63]

Beautiful film, really enjoyed it.

[@ES-xc6fk]

Good morning Steph and Travis! Just enjoyed your video and my wife would really love your recipe for the chicken if you are able to share it. We talked a few years ago before about your bread and donut recipe and think we shared some of ours with you guys. I remember on one of your videos way back you had a comment from us pasted up with a few others down in your boat someplace. Jim and Luann here in Traverse City Michigan.

[@Corvette_pilot]

😎🤙🏼 Safe travels my friends! 😎🤙🏼

[@johnlang150]

Love the vid's stay safe ya'll

[@Sam-qr9wu]

I just want to come aboard for the food!!!! 🙂

[@SailingJibsea]

😆😆

[@over-there]

Guys I do hope your in a safe place and not out there in open water due to the nor easter coming out there. if you are I would run south southeast as fast as I can to go under it and with the coming wind to move top speed. Then can return to previous course. Stay safe guys.

[@edchen32]

Did you plan to show this video of cooking and eating Chinese( or at least Chinese inspired) food for Lunar New Year?

[@dracey1778]

That mahi mahi you made would make me give up my vegan ways.

[@SailingJibsea]

😂

[@judd_s5643]

11:33 do you guys have back up water primarily for hydration? Pretty dangerous being out in the middle of the blue pond without water? Distant Shores always carry a number of 2 liter water bottles on passage. Your generator or water maker could fail.

[@SailingJibsea]

Yes we do

[@kathyline11]

New sub here, really enjoying your voyage!

[@brianfields4479]

even out at sea, you cannot pick your neighbours ha ha.

[@SailingJibsea]

LMAO! You said it! Wait til you see the rest of our crossing!

[@matthewmorgan9269]

Epic !

[@scottgordon1781]

Sort of ironic, see some high speed super yachts , might only travel at 8 + knots to conserve fuel And you guys are hitting 9 + :-)

[@svZia-Switch51]

Don't forget the Korean restaurant in SXM as well!

[@SailingJibsea]

Already been there a few times 🤣

[@svZia-Switch51]

Perfect!@@SailingJibsea

[@ivanjoseph959]

Ever had the general Tsao chicken at Hong Shing on Dundas near Bay in T. O.? Maybe as good as yours. Lol Looking forward to next episode.

[@SailingJibsea]

Unfortunately not!

[@acooper7045]

Can I please have your recipe?

[@jimbrady3538]

I noticed fresh avacado with the mahi on day 14. What's the secret for keeping avocados that long?

[@SailingJibsea]

We buy the unripe ones and keep them in the fridge!

[@Thalassophile-ll3ll2kn2x]

Just curious. Are you guys uploading content in the Middle of the Atlantic and if so are you using Star link?

[@SailingJibsea]

We did yes! Used Starlink

[@J.Paul2023]

You should sort of have your life jackets on when you're leaning off the boat at high speed with a way for her to find you when she turns the boat around.. You worried me there...

[@angiescott5575]

Share the recipe, Steph!

[@mikemeazell5653]

Share the recipe?

[@chrismulvey49]

I was going ask what the coating for the chicken was looked delicious

[@williamstreet4304]

I think this is my first viewing of Gibsea. It was some good content and well presented. But way too many boats for an ocean crossing. Try the Pacific. Crossing from French Polynesia to Panama, we saw 3 boats in over 4,000 NM. PS. Some of my friends say that a Hunter 42 cannot cross oceans. I'm smiling at the thought of you proving them wrong.

[@SailingJibsea]

Wait til you see the rest of our crossing! 👀. We crossed the other way from the Caribbean to Europe and saw far less boats And hahahaha this one’s done it twice!😜

[@williamstreet4304]

@@SailingJibsea Wow, that was a quick response. Fair winds and following seas - although I really don't like the boat action in following seas.

[@martyflannigan5052]

compared to Toronto you must be saying where did all the stars come from, you rarely see any stars in Toronto to much light pollution.

[@SailingJibsea]

Exactly!

[@rolandoperkins6350]

What nationality r u

[@jeroenvanrixel7980]

Hauling coke from the Caribbean to Europe thats how you pay for sailing.

[@SailingJibsea]

Also how you can secure room and board for the next 20-30 years lol

[@jeroenvanrixel7980]

@@SailingJibsea also true lol . Be careful the dont parasite your vessel and stick something on your keel . Like the rafiki in 2014 .
