Sailing across the Bahamas Bank to Hope Town Ep.49

[@NorbCat]

“The girl is back”! Good to see you again, Terysa! We’ve missed you ...

[@FunnyVideos-lt9xr]

How don't people love this channel. Not only does he have the best videos on all of youtube, he replies to comments almost as soon as they are posted, definitely subscribing, liking, sharing, and putting on post notifications.

[@TheWaddups]

Love your channel. The info on sailing, safety, tools, preparing, and planning. You go into detail and provide some of the best info to those that are seeking to enter the sailing lifestyle or to those already in it. You are usually the first channel I seek to watch after your posting of a new video. Keep up the great videos and thank you for all your time, dedication to the videos, and recognizing your followers and supporters.

[@seatravel8536]

You two have a truly genuine channel with pure honesty and we are the ones to Thank You for sharing!

[@CaptainOdark30]

well said...

[@QXZ9027MKII]

That sunset is magnifecent, took a screen shot. Outright impeccable. Thanks mate, really appreciate the time, effort & sweat you guys endure documenting these voyages. 🙏👌👌

[@klouism1]

Your caution on the boat is so very smart. A life Jacket & other measures you take are admirable. So many people think something won't happen to them, all it takes is once. Stay well & happy.

[@dlrgreenfield]

Welcome back, Terysa! Nick's hilarious and all, but we missed you.

[@XDL944]

Good to see you two back together. Social aspect in boating is ok but spending time together is really what it's all about.

[@lisahanlin5317]

Nick it is so nice to see you being cautious and using safety gear as it is intended. Good on you mate.

[@peterfraker7647]

You two are my favorite sailing couple. You never know what Nick going to say next. I love it!

[@waynefederico9396]

I won just watching you guys what a treat........ Can't wait til Sunday 1 Pm.. I think I got hooked way back when you talked about why you sail. Heart felt & true..

[@randythorne4401]

It's good to see you 2 back together and such a great vibe now that your sailing again. Safe travels, I don't need a prize, you are the prize when I get my notification you posted a new video. Cheers mates!

[@SeanMcChannel]

'Here's the thing... You guys are just awesome!' I have been following you guys since you started the KZbin channel and your videos are always so entertaining, informative and enjoyable to watch... Just makes my day when I see new video uploaded. You guys are the best!

[@dcochran111]

Just catching up on the older videos. What a wonderful job and very sensible safety precautions. One of the best crew members I ever knew was a retired dentist we referred to as Dr. Pick. He would show up with a travel packet of no longer used dental tools. He would spend his off watch hours using them to scratch out every last bit of grit in the places we lesser crew could not venture. Perhaps a little OCD is a professional asset? 😀

[@actually_it_is_rocket_science]

As someone who wants to sail one day you guys are an inspiration.

[@johnmurphy6366]

Welcome back to the boss,Nick,that was a beautiful sunset,as always,thanks for bringing us along.

[@dalste2]

Hey Ruby Rose! Well done on another great video! Great to see T back on the boat and well done solo sailing Nick! You're my hero and handled that like a boss!

[@theroliver9138]

So funny about old toothbrushes, I do the same. Man do they come in handy when really cleaning things!

[@aaronanderin]

The cinematic bars at 3:41 look so good! You guys should use that more often!!

[@aaronanderin]

Literally Binging you guys. I came across y'all after following Delos, Uma, Atticus, The Wynns, Zatara, Drenched and La Vagabonde. I wish i would have found you sooner! Can't Wait to meet y'all on the water one day soon!

[@mynhardtsaayman1]

Your sunset view is spectacular, no wind and perfect climate ...... nice.

[@oldtimergoalie1]

Great video Nick and Terysa!! I so love the music you choose. Thank you for sharing your sailing adventures with us. Every episode gets better and better.

[@frankrice5364]

A smiles is a BEAUTIFUL peace with in the soul.you spoke through your heart ..thank you for sharing

[@campingboy9213]

Nick, I commend you on your focus to safety. And being unashamed of telling us why you wear your PFD. Two thumbs up. Thanks for the stunning sunset. It distracted me from the melting snow in my front yard. Good luck as you prepare for your crossing.

[@stevenfeltner1373]

I have to say that you are one of my favorite video blogs. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos, particularly the technical videos. We just bought our Hylas 47 and are about 3 years behind you to throwing off our bow lines for good. I hope one day our paths cross and we can buy you both a beer! In the meantime, we'll continue to enjoy your videos and follow along on your adventure. Fair winds and full sails!

[@Kanlihn]

Reunited and it feels so good! Glad to have you two back together and looking forward to more of your wonderful content.

[@DrJohn493]

Brings back some good memories of those sailing grounds!

[@MattJStrange]

My savings are growing and you keep me inspired. I will get my boat next year (maybe sooner if circumstances allow). Looking forward to meeting up and buying you guys a beer or too to say thanks for keeping me going. Fair winds - Matt

[@gking5522]

What a great place to start a new season. The Abacos are the best for cruising, especially in a swing keel boat. Fair Winds. G.

[@gaterboy1369]

Great offer guys love the channel, love the videos and simply everyone loves swag! Lol. Have a good one guys.

[@victoriarobinson.5256]

(The beautiful blue water's is what made me want to watch the video!!)Wow, those waters are Sooo BEAUTIFUL, what a Blessing it is that we live in Paradise!!! Continue to use the cautionary procedures you use, better to be safe than sorry!!!

[@bladerman]

Glad to see the whole crew on board. Love watching you guys. I’ll salute you with a cold brew and wish you safe travels.

[@ivantodorov9136]

Nice to see you back together guys ! Cheers !

[@chrisjennings5926]

I've been watching your channel nearly since you started it. There's snow in the forecast (Great Lakes) this weekend, but sailing lessons start in two weeks. Thanks for doing what you do from a inspired midwestern guy. Truly. I'm coming for that horizon. I'm coming for that sunset. Cheers!

[@ratwynd]

Awesome giveback. I have been watching for some time and want to thank you both. I am new to sailing but the inspiration I have received from your channel and a number of others have brought me to a point of a life decision. After studying the idea for over a year I purchased a 44ft cutter lying in the Keys. We got our first week aboard in March and it has been life changing for both me and my wife. We are counting the days until we get back to her. Perhaps one day we will cross paths in a lovely anchorage somewhere and share a bottle of nice wine. Until then, continued success to you both from us on the s/v Ravenwing.

[@Fro_Low]

Win or not, I’m still watching your channel. You’ve helped me prepare and think about what I need to do and be ready for when I start sailing. Would love to buy you a couple beers (in person) sometime.

[@robertintress2155]

Love the channel, setting out on our own adventure in about a year. Getting our boat ready now. Hope to see you sometime in the future. Fair winds!

[@kristyduvall9814]

Love this competition to kick off the 2018 season!! Keep up the good work... your videos provide me so much inspiration for getting my own boat...

[@hawaiianpool]

We enjoy your genuine look and creative work . Fair winds for all on SV Ruby Rose.

[@alchik1]

Cheers and glad to see you guys back together again! Fair winds!

[@stuartfoster3067]

It was great to see you meet up with Billy and Sierra. With your love of surfing, I thought Billy would have you kite boarding.

[@wilmaruginski6108]

I love you guys!! Just getting a hat would make me so happy. I love watching your videos, so inspiring. My other half and I live on a 41' formosa which we saved from a certain boatyard death. She had been on the hard 18 years. We fell in love with her instantly and have spent the past 3 years completely refitting. Relaunched and moved on this is July. Some more work to do and then we plan to set sail for who knows where. Hoping someday we end up in the same place as you two so we can buy the beer... Cheers!

[@millzee60]

Terysa's Aussie heritage is more apparent after a spell down under :) Nice to see you together again, looking forward to following you again this season.

[@davebrady8430]

Commuting on a yacht in the Bahamas sure beats a commute on the Underground.... Regstered via KZbin. Good luck to all who've entered.

[@rogermace4516]

So lovely to see you both back together.

[@csranch2000]

Great to see you back Terysa.Really like the watch Nick, It does seem to be a way to move around the boat and keep an eye out. Great sunset! Love watching you guys!

[@richardmcdaniel5837]

once again you have done a great job love all your videos so down to earth fair winds and fair winds

[@rickvance1863]

The Ruby of the Rose is back. Great video and congrats on the 2018 season. Looking forward to all the new places. You Guys are tops in my book.

[@joelhardy6347]

Great idea and a great way to give something back to your community. My girlfriend and are currently land locked in Manchester (UK) working hard and saving up to buy our own yacht so that we can too, travel the world. Maybe one day we will bump into each other, not literally that would be terrible, obviously.

[@marymckenzie4174]

love this video - and the crack about the messy boat ( my husband would say the same!)

[@palmtree5544]

Nice to see you back in warm weather.

[@toddtraynor3558]

Another brilliant episode- time alone is ok for a short time. Thank you for sharing the sunset it looked awesome.take and eagerly await the next.

[@jonathancontre1420]

Love love love the channel. Thanks for getting your fans involved!

[@christophercook7926]

Awesome video. Glad your chica is back to keep you company.

[@timohan100]

Another great episode. Thanks for taking us along and showing us what it is really like to be out there.

[@dtrotti2610]

I truly enjoy all of your videos, glad to see you are being cautious during your solo sailing.

[@svvictory4379]

Just got back from a three day solo sail,I agree PFD etc always,I even slept in mine at anchor due 28 knots of wind.An easy trap to fall overboard in the night when rushing to reset a dragging anchor.look forward to your next video.

[@j.s_cabin]

and I'm waiting the sea to open up in here in cold Finland. took the time to get things done so I could go to the warm south. I love your videos

[@denisemiller-hurst3154]

Dreamy life...All the hard work looks like its all worth it and more..one of these days Im gonna attempt it...

[@jimmyb227]

We really enjoy your channel- it's nice to see you both so enjoying yourselves!

[@BobWiersema]

Yay Terysa is back. Nothing personal Nick.

[@richardturpin7910]

Fair winds, keep up the great work you have been doing.

[@corujariousa]

Nice to see the couple together. Have fun.

[@margaret4778]

Thanks for sharing your amazing views! Have a safe and fun sailing season!

[@christopherhaley8661]

Another great video, taking the time to show those polarizing glasses was incredible, the difference completely surprised me ! Stay Safe.

[@tabbi1359]

Thank you! Glad to see Terysa will be back soon... I don't think I could sail on my own but good on ya, Nick. Glad you're using extra safety precautions. Liked on Facebook and Instagram :-). Fair winds. Tracy & David S/V Another Dawn

[@Tzalaf5731]

So Very Nice Of You Both To Offer Such A Generous Give Away.

[@ToastandJam52]

That watch you have is a good idea. Getting boat info wherever you are. Sadly, I hate wearing watches (and haven't done this century!).

[@philbarron1148]

Great video and prizes. Thanks Nick

[@numidian5191]

Very nice video, watched it while sitting at my desk up here in the north.

[@RoyClare]

Awesome episode ... I do a fair amount singlehanded when Sarah can’t accompany me. Echo your thoughts re pace and checking ... and PLB and PFD. Good to see you’re back as a twosome, it all feels more complete, but I reckon the channel is richer for the fresh perspectives you’ve brought lately during your time apart ... happy sailing ⛵️

[@trevorbrasch4595]

What a great start to the 2018 season; totally looking forward to following your adventure as always. I love everything about your videos; unpretentious, honest, informative, funny and with the perfect amount of bad language, lol :) Thanks for teaching us some stuff and for sharing your journey. Fair winds and following seas, my friends :)

[@CaptainOdark30]

Hey Nick, another great episode, thanks for sharing; Terysa welcome back; looking forward to following you two on your adventures for 2018 and beyond; safe travels...

[@bayareablues2255]

That looked like an awesome sail!!! And such a beautiful workshop you have for yourself! Thanks for another fine episode.

[@corybrown994]

we have never meet but I have been following for some time and your advice has been invaluable to me , I was in the prose of buying a fairly new benneteau 40 how ever I did not I decided to but a boat that I can work on and refit to my needs , 40 Formosa and she was inexpensive and the refit is going well I'm not sure when I leave but soon (Phinney Bay Bremerton WA.USA.) but how you and others like you and you advice has helped me fit a sail boat I know and love /trust. thanks too the both of you .

[@Hawkeye252]

Really enjoy your videos, both for the scenery and the helpful information. Having lots of fun with the 'so here's the thing' drinking game. Cheers ;) sheri

[@chiefcliff]

I can't wait for the new season to really get rolling. Love you guys!

[@52rajesh]

nice dear you are back your guy was alone . As I told you earlier i had been to Melbourne at my daughters place and this time she had arranged east coast trip upto Dain tree. Next time it will be Adelaide uo to Darwin .Australia is Really a most beautiful place an people are very very very nice . I love you all Aussies .Happy sailing

[@kennymcclymont2066]

Great video and good to hear the comments about safety and solo sailing. Too many sailors think it's not macho to wear a LJ and clip-on. Easy way to lose your life if you don't. Keep up the good work and fair winds for your forthcoming Atlantic Crossing.

[@snakeplisken4278]

Mantus Rocks! Got two of their anchors now.

[@aaronlinville7974]

So jealous of you guys! Small world cause this last week my wife and I were actually planning a yacht charter and sailing school combo to start off our dream of sailing the world and I was just reading reviews of the Mantus scuba equipment and would love to get my hands on some of it. Plus it was my birthday this week so winning would be a great present! Thank you guys for a super enjoyable channel to follow!

[@wendyrizzolo9091]

Actually thank you both for such great videos and sharing your knowledge with us!

[@veannewillson]

Another great vlog. We want a catamaran but u certainly help us with sailing general information. Thanks

[@alinthekeys]

Glad 2 c u back on the water! Looking forward to season 2018. Watching from the Fl Keys.

[@svmagnolia]

Great video, nicely done. Looking forward to doing some solo sailing myself shortly!

[@darrylbeattie737]

That is a very kind offer guys ....As always I enjoy your show :) Safe Sailing!!

[@NickLea]

That Garmin watch you had was really cool, I didn't know that they did anything like that. I just googled it and it seems to be the Garmin Quatrix - is that the watch that you've got? It seems a tad expensive but actually a really good idea and I think that I might get one myself. On the other hand - Ray-Bans, seriously? OK, so I have a pair of Oakley sunglasses so I can't really talk. Although one thing I would say to people is that companies like Ray-Ban, Oakley etc all do really good prescription sunglasses (including varifocal) which are also polarising. Another thing to perhaps think about is when you are filming. Polarising filters on your camera have the same effect as polarising lenses on your sunglasses. It makes a huge difference if you ever want to film dolphins or anything else from above the surface. That short clip you did of holding your sunglasses in front of the camera shows what a polarising filter does for a camera (without having to hold your sunglasses in front of the camera all the time)

[@Lokisword]

You guys rock!, Cannot wait to see what this season brings

[@johnreuteman2724]

Abacos Island are a great place. I chartered there a long time ago as part of a SAIL magazine flotilla. We had the smallest boat but the fastest sailors. Hope you got a chance to visit Man-O War Cay. I bought a local made back pack there and I still have it. They had the best goombay cooler rum drinks, and haven't been able to find any place that makes then as well. Great channel and keep enjoying those sunsets.

[@Smanch667]

Appreciate the hard work, and the footage. Where were the anchorages you were in? I think you mentioned Great Sale (is that where you were?), what else. See I make note of these for when we do the Bahamas, so I’d love to know or better yet have you mention in the vlog. Agree with others. Good to hear and see the safety aspects. We stress PFDs too.

[@budsvjourney2919]

Beautiful and sincere vid N.....and welcome back T

[@justlooking2222]

"Here's the thing...." and then talk about the bridle on the dingy. The "girl" is back, where did you sleep that night, Port or Starboard settee ? Watching Tula's endless summer it doesn't look like they allowed themselves to be corrupted by you ! Another nice video, nice to see Tyresa !

[@veannewillson5546]

Another great vlog. We want a catamaran but u certainly help us with sailing general information Thanks

[@mattf49006]

liked ..already subscribes and will keep watching because doing so makes me laugh ,think and wish i was there.....thanks Nick and Terysa

[@dancoleman9958]

You guys are awesome. Already recommended your channel to my friends!

[@freeduc]

It's really great to see you back on the water. I know this sounds pathetic, but I was really sad when your season ended last year. (I got over it) Anyway, it's great that you are back and sailing again. Look forward to following your adventure. Cheers! PS The brakes are starting to go south on my car so I could use a good anchor! :-)

[@simoncousin3241]

Well I am in the competition your channel is great straight talking,people may think you over do the safety especially the solo I think not respect the water and it should respect you ,dont take anything for granted ,wont talk to much as the job list will not get done !!!!!!!!!!!

[@sailingdijan9128]

Awesome stuff! It’s going to be a great season this year! Thanks for taking us along. Enjoy! SV DIJAN

[@ningpo6924]

thanks, your canopy looks great !!!

[@bill4nier]

Hey Nick, that was awesome! In some way, I can relate to that sunset. I recall being on a Navy ship serving as a U.S.Marine. We're down in the Philippines, and there's this incredible sunset. Although I did take in the moment, I was still too young to really appreciate it as I would today. Here's to a fantastic 2018 season. Fair winds. 😍⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@soving]

Boat stays cleaner eh? Keep that up and you will get more of the lonely feeling ;). Be honest T is the backbone of the channel :)
