All aboard the Vomit Comet! 😂 [EP 117]

[@Wedontwantnowarnomore]

Soo sweet. Soo happy 😂 Two cool cats on a passage. A fair fight. Casualties still no prisoners. In other words, a real happy party as always 🤪

[@MikeLoveBuns]

Oceans 🌊 looks great while your out sailing ⛵️ sailboat! 😘⛵️😀 Mike from Missouri

[@goulash75]

9:15 "Oh look, Turtle!" = Water version of "Squirrel!"

[@marcosanches7628]

I love your adventures a hug from Portugal Lisbon

[@barbaralienhard3490]

Great video, appreciate your honesty and showing the real part of sailing. I knew when you did you put down the winch handle..... It's happened to all of us!!! Glad to hear you're safe in St Maarten now. Merry Christmas!!!

[@jeremiahcarson8712]

Savage bit...induction by fire....vomit comet....first mate spewy.....#loveit

[@grantpeachey6908]

you guys are awesome, you always make my day a bit brighter and always a good chuckle

[@tvonzweck]

You guys wholeheartedly deserved a glorious passage. So far, in my first year of boat ownership I've lost a cell phone and a boat hook. The hook was harder to take than the phone as I did not know the phone fell out of my pocket until well after it happened. The boat hook however happened whilst bringing in the flopper stopper, even though I had thoughtfully placed it in a place where it would not fall over. I was anchored, it fell in when I moved a line, it looked up at me and said good job buddy. One is left in a quandary when your device for retrieving shit that falls over, falls over. The water temp was in the 50's so I paused, reached for a spare halyard to toss over it and draw it closer... The hook sensed what I was up to, put it's nose down and dove like a submarine to 65'. I'll buy one that floats to replace it.

[@stubluesjhb1]

Lovely to see two very happy smiley sailors. You did make good time on the trip.

[@hazzargooleypunch5805]

The most joyous chronicle of casualties I have ever heard. Good stuff.

[@primemover1937]

I was also going to say, one of the most pleasant sailing videos I've seen yet!

[@TheNickthekid123456]

Thanks for the sail. Too cute! Lovely episode.

[@steveyost5530]

"Weather with Ben!"- Too funny Khiara!

[@mattWallJsy]

After a very stressful evening the best way to relax is by watching my favourite sailing channel! 😁

[@nonaparker564]

Such a happy happy episode.... Loved the ‘vomit’ part !! Hahaha xx

[@nmsspacedude1793]

Your delight at being actual sailors again is just so lovely to watch!

[@ddyck8389]

Vomit Comet!!!! That’s awesome!

[@WilliamDenneyJr]

I love you two! You make a great adventure show.

[@billparker4211]

I really liked Adam's way of checking out the tender on deck. In the navy we used to call it skiving off or spine bashing.

[@jeremiahcarson8712]

"Weather with Ben" I almost spit my coffee out! You guys rock!

[@ThePetejb]

You need a locking winch handle and leave it in the mast winch. Great video .

[@SailingPivo]

Good episode! I love how you laugh off the small problems that happen on a sailboat. Keep on keepin on.

[@dougwatson821]

So glad that we were all spared the footage of the "Vomit Comet" in action! Glad that you're both back to your healthy, cheerful selves. Always love your episodes.

[@waynemcphail7825]

The two of you make a beautiful couple! Great video.

[@richardgooding498]

After a great couple days of sailing Kiara says to Adam. Are you sniffing me. Lmao to funny

[@joecucch8261]

Nice to see a transit without some major malfunction. All that maintenance is paying dividends now.

[@suepeck2772]

Awesome sail!.. and think how awesome it will be with new sails. Ours from #precisionsails are still very new and "crispy".. Love the sound of them!

[@glmaguire]

Awesome episode- I really loved it

[@nirlivni9062]

Great Episode. A good moral boost. Also it's either 2AM or 2 in the morning. But not 2am in the morning. 😄 LOL

[@desolatemetro]

Can just tell how happy you guys are to have been sailing and made a passage again! I must admit I am extreeeeemely jealous of the nice warm weather and blue sea as I sit up here with the first snowfall of the year.

[@d4ve587]

Looks incredibly stressful boat life 😆fish sauce drama and the fish that chomped ya line 😲😁need to chill

[@desbuckle6907]

After my epic binge watch I am up to date and loving every minute, just here today to wish you both a Merry Christmas and a Fantastic 2021.

[@atschris]

Geez, so much destruction, good job it was only a two day passage and not a forty day pacific crossing!

[@ed_richards47]

Great vdeo, guys. That was a dream of a passage. You deserved it after all the hassle you normally encounter! Happy New Year to you both and I look forward to following your continued adventures in '21.

[@itsverygreen532]

Arghh!!!! COMET! ;) Great to see you moving again though!

[@scubaseas1]

Nice passage. Hard to beat a beam reach in calm seas and warm weather. Good on ya for rigging the gybe preventer. Not sure I would trust the midship cleat for it though. The bolts on mine ('85 V42) looked a lot like your bow cleat bolts. Find it easy to rig a preventer using line each side of the boom meeting a line from each side of the bow tied with a bowline. Leave the loose end at the aft shrouds. But to each his own. Looking forward to the new sails.

[@worldsapart1101]

Another great episode guys!

[@lasivianleandros3558]

I would not only suggest not cleaning the dinghy, but I would make it *look* WORSE! The outboard too. Remember when you found the dinghy on the beach after it "floated away"? People steal boats that look good before they take ones that look crappy. ;)

[@jennibaker3444]

Excellent!

[@michaelcaraway2305]

Glad to see you travelling again. Happy some places have handled the pandemic well and are able to accept tourism from low risk areas that have also handled it well.

[@ChrisSzulwach]

I am literally experiencing 10 ft seas and fish sauce in my imagination right now. Thanks. Hahaha!

[@stephendavenport9869]

Comedy of errors, brilliant, all done with a smile :-)

[@ryanh4889]

Great episode! I have never heard of 'fish sauce' and I don't think I ever will look for it again.

[@mattjohnson1715]

You guys make it look easy and fun. Merry Christmas

[@johnSmith-vf5tj]

You guys are my new favorites. I love the process you guys go through as you solve problems on the fly and really thats the part I love about sailing - Its the constant challenge and solving it- sometimes things get complicated (As you well know) during your solution and then you adapt again. Looking to go cruising myself but I will most likely be single handed as I haven't found a first mate

[@salnichols94805]

What a bloody hyper chatterbox!

[@TwoGetLost]

🤣 why does everything always go wrong at once! We did a great MOB for our floating winch handle once...understand your frustration!!!

[@lasivianleandros3558]

Glad it was a good run! This of course means that the next passage will be in a hurricane. ;D

[@romulovinhas5725]

I have a similar story with a rotten mango sorbet 😂😂

[@theshakajournals5113]

Mmmmmmmm ... your description of the fish sauce makes me wanna pour some on my burger.

[@macmacmedia]

Stick with me on this one - my best mate tells me that letting his kids watch Disneys "Frozen" is like giving them a 1/2 a gram of cocaine each!! The go hyper! In this episode I am convinced you have just watched "Frozen" 🤣 You are buzzing!! Awesome stuff

[@bigunone]

Congrats on successfully leaving Grenada

[@davidgaeta5266]

I love watching your adventures. You two are my favorites of all the sailing tubers. Khiara you are so full of joy, even while on the "vomit comet". How old are you two?

[@divebigblue]

Oh, is it that time already :) Hello wonderful people x

[@sundancer3700]

I hope you visit Orient Beach while on the island, always some crazy sights to see on this clothing optional beach.

[@IbangedYaMama]

I wonder if they're restricted from going to the french side of the island !?

[@PhilLemoine]

Wonderful episode! What advices would you give a crew readying for their first overnight passage?

[@olrasnod]

Glad to see that you have now spelled "comet" without an "i"!

[@englishmaninfrance661]

Blackadder "Miss Spewy McPuke " :) You actually eat that fish sauce ? :)

[@gogogaga7441]

Silly question: where do you guys get the national flags? Do you buy a set before setting off, or purchase one upon landfall at a new location? Wishing you smooth sailing!

[@daneulekowski929]

Really enjoyed this episode. New Sub.

[@benc.8103]

Bish bash bosh, I like it.

[@GypzyJack]

The "steel leader line" is called 'trace', red *grins*

[@richardroth8087]

Adam, how is your back holding up? I have sciatica and often run into problems onboard. It can be quite uncomfortable and even interfere with sleep when bad. The v-berth is usually the only place I can do my yoga stretches, which I know is a problem since you guys use that for your shop. I recommend, at minimum, trying to get on all fours and alternate between a child's pose and an upward-facing dog, going back and forth between the two, slowly at first then more quickly. I also recommend trying tennis balls to pressure and release the chakras that run up the spine. Lying on your back, fit a ball underneath close to the spine. Lean into it. You will feel an achy feeling if you are doing it right. After a few seconds, you should feel a release. Work your way up both sides of the spine, starting with the glutes. I recommend trying to keep up a stretching regimen daily, if you can find a way to do it onboard. A sandy beach, of course, would be perfect. Good luck. I feel for ya, mate!

[@jtmcphee4591]

On that lost winch handle, why not park it in the dorade that’s right by your flank? Done that on many other boats. Just a thought.

[@michaelsebastiane4454]

Congrats on your latest landfall. What is your traditional arrival breakfast? Waffles & bacon perhaps?

[@phillipgriffin5144]

Watching to much Delos lol

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

After arriving here, it’s croissants!! 😆

[@twiceknightly1391]

Sending Good Vibes! Could have been a barracuda on the line? My guess.

[@davehayes9648]

More reanctments please, especially with sounds effects as the winch handle went over the side. 👌

[@joshcarlisle6792]

I had my first sailing class (something called ASA 101 here in the states) a couple weeks back. On my first tack of the class (and ever!)I was fumbling a bit because it was also not a self-tailing winch, we were heeling a lot, and I'm a complete noob. The winch got caught in the lifeline and kind of acted like a bow and launched our only winch about 15 feet out into the waves. It was supposed to be a floating winch but it did not. I told the instructor we should give them a bad review on Amazon - he didn't think it was too funny lol. He had similar choice words as yours lol

[@sailingsvtesla9052]

You guys are amazing. You've been a HUGE inspiration for me for the past 2-3 years now. Well... it's all paying off. I (sorry, "We". I have a new 1st Mate) set off this Sunday. Yep in 2 days (OMG) I can't believe it's here already. I've been awaiting this day for over 3 years. Anyways, so Adam, do you mind if I ask how you found out how many amp hours your boat uses? I need to purchase a temp inverter (due to budget cuts) but I'm not 100% sure to how to test for that amperage output. I did try my multi-meters (both of them) to no avail. any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks RJ and Chantal.

[@barrymatthias7551]

gotta be one for the diary and memoirs

[@keithbradbury6203]

Hi Love your videos, while you are in St Maarten don't forget to go see the planes land and tale off at Maho beach as I did on my only day there during a cruise vacation, However I did get to do the Americas cup yacht's. a bucket list item for me. Keep up the great videos its lovely to see the world of which we cant travel too because of covid19.

[@chuckleber3484]

I wish you documented more of the sail in the storm.

[@jvbemmel]

welcome to the Netherlands!!! just ping when you need a dutch translation ;-).. Also don't forget to stock up on Hagelslag and Stroopwafels when visiting the local Albert Heijn

[@mofosamo]

When I was working on a yacht, losing a winch handle was a cardinal sin. I hope Khiara punished you good and proper.🤭

[@patbanta]

good music

[@earthstick]

Have you ever sailed through any of the great pacific garbage patch? Can you post some video of it?

[@SuperSnaky]

Hey both, send me a dm, I will be more than happy to send you some metal lines for fishing. We use them here with all fish that can chew up a normal line. Loved the episode.. vomit comit🤣🤣🤮🤣🤣 Regards, Gijs

[@kenshores9900]

The vomit comet is an airplane used to simulate weightlessness by taking 10-20,000 foot drops.

[@SpiralDiving]

don't give up, you've not pulled the dynema taut yet. If its still too short use dead eyes instead of turnbuckles?

[@SilentStorm_5]

Rhymes with fore.....like more, door, ect.. Or did it rhyme with duck maybe??😂

[@davidd3377]

Like buck, chuck, luck, suck, puck, muck, tuck, yuck?

[@bowlbboy]

you guys deserve more subs than you have...

[@randalsmith2713]

Go to the Palms. Great food and people and right down the street from McDonald's.

[@randalsmith2713]

Just missed you. Left December 3rd.

[@gvndual84]

Just love you guys. I wondered if you still (ever) got seasick. I’m a professional pilot, and I no longer get air sick, but put me on a boat in choppy seas and yikes!

[@RYBAT]

Yea!!

[@fishingamerica8008]

You are glowing girl...????

[@auricgoldfinger8478]

Great channel- first time watched. Small concern from a life long sailor- Kiara needs hats and beaucoup sun tan lotion. The sea and sun are not kind to red-heads. Skin cancer is no joke

[@paulmeredith2054]

Wow you two can talk ! And talk you do very fast , take a breath!

[@richmorpurgo5554]

You fixed the spelling! 👍

[@Soundguy79]

AM means morning. 2am in the morning is redundant.

[@Fairchildflyer]

marry that girl.

[@hazzargooleypunch5805]

Last night I paid the deposit on my first sailboat with a kitchen. New first rule: Fish Sauce stays home.

[@ian-c.01]

Sauces should go in the sink when under way, sauce bottle in a plastic cup in a plastic bowl stuffed with a tee towel and stood in the sink is pretty safe

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Smart move! While most lessons are good to learn yourself, perhaps just take our word for it this time 😊

[@searscr1]

Are you going to be in Florida after the first of the year? We will be there, hopefully closing on our boat. We would love to get together with you.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Probably not, it’s a bit of hassle to get visas to USA. Congrats on the boat closing though!

[@whisper7373]

6:00 Adam talks to it while he's flogging?? 🤫

[@patrolrider]

Yuck fish sauce is OK to cook with although I don't use it much it does really stink.

[@TwoCents690]

Fish sauce...burp..🤤

[@Grasshoppa65]

Is Khiara Australian? Can't tell if she is from England or just really well spoken Aussie.

[@triggerhappytony]

Finally caught up after a week of binge watching! I was just wondering: the cockpit seats that your mum very kindly provided, would you recommend them? The coaming in my cockpit is only about 20cms so no back support and I think they would be nice for some lounging. Also, I have only sailed with white sails and always think I'm missing out without the spinnaker. Is it worth it or are the gains insignificant for daysailing? Love the channel by the way, the content balance is excellent 👌

[@vandbaxelrad6902]

Just a quick one. Please choose one: "AM" or "in the morning". Either, or. Not that it really matters but you know... it's like saying I'm currently busy right now. Or I have it as well too. 😉

[@carbidegrd1]

Gotta ask, why use fish sauce if it smells like ...

[@islandonlinenews]

♥️❤️
