[@nickbenfell4327]

You were particularly bubbly in this episode Elena. Both of you have fun and continue living the dream.

[@TwoGetLost]

Just beautiful! The Caribbean is calling us! Love your white dress too Elena😍

[@havemotorhomewilltravel1154]

Wow what a beach absolutely stunning

[@Glyn69]

Lovely location ,thanks for posting

[@dreadnoughtb3364]

Looks like a beautiful place all things considered. You two are looking like the Caribbean is good for you.

[@williamlewis8741]

hello Ryan and Elena..... wow, first again. your introduction has frighten me. i'm watching the video and more comments to come. be safe

[@SailHosailing]

Elena, this white dress suits you perfectly.

[@goleafsgo8496]

Agreed Elena always looks great and Yes the white shows off the incredible tan, lucky buggers!

[@Oceans_Sail]

Fantastic water - brings back happy memories. Get better soon and keep smiling :-)

[@janiceworkman7144]

Really enjoyed your music with the shell Elana!🤣👍 Y’all are so funny!

[@goleafsgo8496]

LOL, the only channel that I hit the "Like" button on before I even watch the video. Have now watched all of your videos back to the OG Kittiwake days, I'm sort of relieved you upgraded to Skua before you crossed the ocean. Betting you both are as well? Without people Happy Island looked a little sad ......

[@nonaparker564]

Lovely episode.Such a shame everything was closed.We were there this time last year and Happy Island was full of Happy People !

[@rorkesparks2598]

Wow that sand😳😳😳😳😳 so much to see!!!!

[@myjeepzia]

You guys are awesome, the video is great by the way outfit look good on you . Thanks for sharing this video.

[@kevinsaunby982]

My permanent desktop is an elevated picture looking down over Clifton. Really worth the climb up to the fort and then over the hill to walk the north side where there are great beaches.

[@jimgates4801]

Took a Windjammer Cruise in ‘97. Stopped an anchored off shore. Palm Island wasn’t very much to see. It’s a private island.Very small. Was least favorite stop. Found the French islands to be the cleanest.Dont forget to get some “Jack Iron “ rum. (Bootleg rum). Pretty good high test rum.

[@kathyfann]

It’s beautiful certainly

[@Boatsidebbq]

When you make it to Puerto Rico we can make sure you 2 are welcome here

[@Channelterror117]

If you ever swing by DR, I'd be happy to show you guys around or at least suggest some places to visit.

[@johnocallaghan9252]

Your videos are fab keep up all the good work.

[@zoukwe]

Beautiful. In some ways you've benefited from being in the Grenadines during hurricane season & pandemic because you've had the place more or less to yourselves. Bays like Salt Whistle are sometimes impossible to get into during the high season, with too many yachts around. I've always felt that the summer is a good time to explore (as long as you keep a weather eye on any possible storms) - the gentle breezes are a relief from the full trade winds of the winter months (when seas build up & the passages between islands become a bit of a romp!)

[@barbaralane9825]

Loved the video. Hope Elena is recovering well. Thinking of you both as have some first hand knowledge of how challenging Dengue can be.

[@rasheedmasthan6779]

Hai Ryan and Elena ♥️👍

[@haighaj]

Another amazing video guys! I love Ryan's morning coffee mug, I keep trying to catch all the words on it! Palm Island looks fab like a picture postcard such a pity they were so rude and unwelcoming ☹️

[@gardgarland5293]

Thank you for turning down background music and allowing it to set the mood while the scenery and story takes center stage.

[@nigelgriffiths259]

Looks wonderful. As always may you have fair winds, tides and currents.

[@junemartin1475]

Elena how are you feeling? Beautiful beach!

[@barbaraburdick1333]

Beautiful video stay safe!

[@marclawyer2789]

Even a guarded beach beats lockdown part two here in England. Feel for the locals who are not making any money during this nonsense. Enjoy yourselves whilst you can 👍

[@SailingKittiwake]

This video was filmed in July 2020.

[@marclawyer2789]

@@SailingKittiwake Thanks for the reply. How open is everything now? Some places seem busier than others. We're looking (virtually) at some boats out that way. Take care and have fun 🌅

[@SailingKittiwake]

It all changes weekly. They opened back in October after 7 months of closed borders but are already going backwards.

[@marclawyer2789]

@@SailingKittiwake Sorry to hear that. I hope you guys get stuck somewhere spectacular (if things do close down), where you can also get jobs done ! 🏋️

[@SailingKittiwake]

@@marclawyer2789 to be honest, we have not. If I were you, I'd stay in Europe until things are settled (do any boat work there because here ordering parts is either impossible or crazy expensive). Just my personal pov.

[@ojhawkins]

Cool. Very cool

[@pejoly2]

Just trying to imagine what it must be like to take the journey you guys made, and then have all the destinations locked down. At least there are no crowds, and you get to stay on great spots, but it was desolate on some of those islands.

[@SailingKittiwake]

It was great at the beginning, now it's less so. Not because of the lack of people but because they close countries down for way longer here. Grenada had borders closed March-October. It's not cruising.

[@cecilpacetti1491]

I think your video work has improved a lot since you first started. Cheers. Hope you can get to a point where your videos are a little closer to "real time " . Keep up the good work.

[@SailingKittiwake]

Thanks a lot. We cannot get close to real time or we would never release anything. 4 months behind, like here, is as close as we will ever get (only because we have no choice). Like we said many times, this is just what we do in our spare time and it takes a huge amount of time and effort to put it together. We are still in the rainy hurricane season in real time, so I see no problem.

[@rlsailors7007]

At least there weren't any pirates! 😆Is that pink yacht in the background Audrey's 'Little Miss' (think she sold it)?

[@diyoregonnowtexas9202]

Now that you've had the Tiana 37 for a while, how do you like it? Is it comfortable and suit all your needs? Ive been watching for them coming up for sale. I would like to hear your thoughts on it since you own one.

[@SailingKittiwake]

Hi, why don't you send us an email? Easier to type a long opinion on there. [e-mail]

[@philipfreeman72]

Question , how many people would Skua be comfy with , I have grandkids .

[@cousinjack2841]

You should organise a cruisers rally and all descend on their beach at once.

[@slowpoke1]

Definitely the words of a non traveler. You are in a foreign country where rules are different and responses could be different. These guards are doing their jobs and some tourists don't respect limitations put upon them and think nothing of going exploring farther in.

[@cousinjack2841]

@@slowpoke1 It was a light hearted comment you fool. I am quite well traveLLed thank you, and I also have dual nationality and spend quite a bit of time flitting merrily between two continents. Yes, the guards are just doing their job, but I don't remember anyone saying they weren't....

[@johnocallaghan9252]

Would ye do a video on the differences between sailing the Caribbean and the Med.

[@SailingKittiwake]

Will do. Keep an eye out.

[@ernieklepp265]

Hey Ryan: Lighten up mate. I sense a bit of tension with your wifey when she just wants to enjoy every little thing possible. Love on her, bro

[@SVImpavidus]

Happy island closed? How are the locals going to make it through this madness? Cid said where did you get that lovely white dress. She wants one! Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

[@SailingKittiwake]

Everything has been closed since March here. I doubt they'll open much for the season. The only way they can - by upping prices for the cruisers and making Covid testing very expensive. Thanks. Go to any Made In China cheap shop and there you'll find one. Haha. Cheers.

[@Shroedinger73]

Lol 😂 whistling at the water 💦 And rightfully so.. looks sexy and warm 😎👍🏻 Carpe Diem.... Cheers 🥂 🖖🏻

[@davidwalker2781]

Question.... why did you Anchor next to "happy island"...when you narrated that the area was basically empty and there lots of empty mooring balls seemingly available for ya to utilize.??

[@SailingKittiwake]

We were simply following the guide books' tips. They were local moorings, not commercial ones. And had they been commercial ones, we didn't want to pay for one, as we knew we'd be on our way within an hour.

[@jsonnichsen]

Is that a Highfield dinghy you have?

[@SailingKittiwake]

No it's a Zodiac Cadet. It's an aluminium RIB.

[@jsonnichsen]

Mine is a Highfield with an aluminum bottom. Very similar to yours. I have not purchased a motor yet. Do you like the performance of the 5hp?

[@josephkennedy3541]

anybody being creeped.....THAT's CREEPY@!!! Stay Safe!

[@jamestheotherone742]

Can't have the plebes soiling up their private beach ya' know.

[@andreflavell2689]

I to live on a 1977 yacht. . Nice to see people believing in old yachts

[@dabruscar]

Woooooow I am so so jealous

[@docholliday3150]

It must have been the hat.

[@Mike7O7O]

Elena. Are you originally from the UK? You don't sound like you are. Just curious.

[@sailingceltic1911]

Whats up with Ryan beautfull islands with beautfull beaches not to mention a beautfull wife and he stays on the boat COME ON RYAN

[@Sailing_Aquarius]

100%

[@sailorman607]

When you are unable to firmly set your anchor under high wind conditions, someone has to stay with the boat on anchor watch.

[@tonyhill5418]

Heart set on pizza and end up with a bowl of rice, that's not right.

[@shaenj]

I really haven't seen anybody here that has looked at the Islander's point of view. Think about being on a little island with unknown people sailing to your front door. And you don't know which has Cov. Certainly some do! If it was me I would not let ANY body in.

[@SailingKittiwake]

That's inaccurate. To sail to and around this country (like any) you need to be Covid negative. This was just a case of guards keeping strangers away from a luxury resort. That's what they do, Covid or not Covid. PS SVG had 0 active Covid cases when we were there.

[@Ortopedija1989]

You don’t have to sail the Caribbean to see the beauties of the sea and oceans. It is enough to sail into the Adriatic Sea along the beautiful Croatian coast, full of miraculously beautiful and exotic islands
