MAYDAY Rescued at Sea | 82 Beau and Brandy Sailing

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thank you for watching!! If you would like to grab your very own tshirt and help make Saoirse STRONGER THAN EVER, grab it here: www.bonfire.com/help-put-saoirse-back-together-again/. Thank you so much for your support!! xoxo! B+B

[@twdarcy]

If you need serious aid, I may be able to help.

[@kevingrimbeek2106]

Is there no very sticky tacky marine tape (something like duct tape) one could place on the outside of the crack?

[@djurodjurakaruci6773]

Beau you are some tough cookie, you held it really well together. The stuff that the fisherman gave you, maybe everyone in the sailing community should consider to have some on boat, wonder what that was.. Brandy you are sweet too :)

[@lightningmcqueen181]

Probably a stupid question @ about 9:41 minutes into the video.1st hour 64 miles out by hour 7 your 63 miles out .@ some point in those 9 minutes u were 60 miles out..For a boat that has a crack in it and being a time critical, mentioning in the beginning of this where the inital explanation of waking up and realizing its leaking hope to pump it , stuff it while bolting to shore, a couple of shots with both of ypu deiving and manual pumping simotaniously - why are you still 64 miles out when at one point you both had pumped most of the water out? Appears you guys didnt have a whole lot of emphasis on getting to land.... By the way, I know absolutely shit about sail boating..Ski boats yes, sailing No.. Just boggled about the wasted time

[@belialzed2244]

Hi guys!i really sorry about what happened...What hull material you have?

[@Borealis_Astro]

Seeing the dog having a life jacket was such a relief, I’m so glad you three made it out of that situation :)

[@kathyburnett2343]

This is why you always need a gas motor for backup. Praise all fishermen for being there as soon as possible after hearing a mayday call.❤

[@johan8724]

That sticky stuf u got from these fishermen is amazing stuf. I'd buy them a couple of beers and a meal when back on shore👍👍👍

[@tjwalker960]

After 28 years in the Coast Guard and having served aboard three Cutters, I learned a thing or two about damage control (just from doing drills - no actual incidents thank God). You all would have benefited a lot by having some plugs and wedges on board. Could have slowed that water a lot and would have kept the towels in place. But that green goo patch seemed to work pretty well, also. So happy for your outcome! God Bless!!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thank you! Yes we had plugs, but not wedges! So grateful for the fisherman and their underwater epoxy!! Hope others learn from our video.

[@timrollins1015]

Thank you for serving in the Coast Guard! It is a comfort to all boaters that when things go really sideways we can call on the coat guard!

[@sailingdream7491]

It was anxious to watch. The fishermen were angels who rescued you.

[@johnlynch6589]

What a lady. Every guy should have a lady like you. Amazing. You are simply unreal. Super strong.

[@midwestlakelife]

Tears in my eyes observing you both working relentlessly to salvage the situation. The fact that you are so real is what makes you both so likable. People are starved for authentic people who not only share the good, but also the bad. I'm so grateful you are ok and grateful Oona was calm during the chaos.

[@benjaminscull7713]

My Dad is a Retired Sea Captain for an Open Ocean Tug Boat Company! During one of his trips to Hawaii and Back, on the Back Trip 1/4 of the Way back they Sprung a Leak the Size of a Silver Dollar. My Father was the one that was able to pound a Wedge into the Hole and Slow down the Leak. But the Seriousness of it all, was that if they had been even an Hour more out(7 knots per hour) they would have Sunk. I total Understand the Stress and adrenaline you both were on!!! Lots of Respect for Not giving up!!! Good Job!!! Love the Shirt as Well, when I get a bit more money, I'll definitely have to get one!!!

[@catlynnwittie]

I know this is an older video but I literally in tears. Amazing! Glad y'all are safe!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thank you so much! It was pretty intense, happy we made it through. so grateful for the kind fisherman that brought us that goo!

[@chrisfusco1108]

...her voice. Bless that man.

[@AStanton1976]

A few pointers to increase your pumping capacity. Put in valves and plumb the raw water intake for your inboard to your bilge so you can use the engine to pump out the bilge. If you have pressure fresh and/or salt water in your boat, slice in a valve with a line to the bilge from both. For almost no money, you can double or triple your bailing capacity using systems you already have.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

We have an electric engine, so no raw water intake. We have to make sure we have extra redundancy, since we don’t have this as an option.

[@cw2gtc]

Thank God that you were blessed with guardian angels that know a thing or two about sailing and emergent boat repair. Know every day. I mean really know it in your heart, that God chose to spare you. 👍🏼Glad you & Tilly are ok👍🏼

[@hd-xc2lz]

Super impressed with Beau. Mostly smiling through it all, even keeled, no sign in video of losing his temper, and physically fit enough that he could work that manual pump for long periods. Essential for getting through such crises is taking great effort to maintain a positive attitude.

[@garyduncan2048]

Thanks to these Grenadian fishermen that lended a helping hand🖐. Hope you guys enjoy Grenada 🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩💯

[@davidc6510]

Awesome job Beau and Brandy! This is about as real as it gets. Beau you were a real cool under the immense pressure. Brandy the level of concern was written all over your face and you held together pretty well. Glad you and Oona are OK and thanks for sharing this because it helps the sailing community on how to prepare and react to an event like this! Best wishes!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thank you so much David! We do really hope that our experience does help others be more prepared.

[@robertadamsmetaldetecting6324]

You stayed relatively calm and didn't panic. That is HUGE in survival situations! Great job getting it in to port. Stay safe and keep Living your Dreams!

[@Jimjettrain333]

Really appreiciate this documentry of what could have been a catastrophe. You told the story with honesty and no BS. Well done.

[@gerrymataia7554]

I love the positivity during damage control.

[@earthangel8730]

I am blown away by your composure and supportive teamwork. I hope your rig can be repaired too. So happy you are ok!

[@ccpederson1769]

You held it together with out panicking, number 1 rule of sailing, I'm proud of you both, good job. Keep on sailing

[@williamwright2183]

Thank goodness for not giving up and Awesome fishermen ! I feel wore out just watching

[@lancesmith7235]

I thank you guys for sharing such a powerful video. It's not all sunrises and rainbows, it's real and perilous. If I was you I'd wave at every fishing boat I pass and shake hands with every fisherman I met on shore. Beau and Brandy, what a wonderful team. I'm an old man, 67, and I watch the adventures of you and other cruisers who share their experiences on You tube. I live vicariously through all of your channels and fall asleep hoping you are all safe and waking up looking forward to seeing the red bell telling me you and other cruisers have adventures to take me on. I will never meet you but I admire the people I've come to know. Beau and Brandy, what a wonderful team!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thank you lance! What kind words! It’s truly people like you that make this experience for us even better than you know. Your support means a lot to us and we are happy to have you along on our adventures!!

[@daneatherton7886]

He lance, I'm 70 and cruising solo. Come on in the waters fine, you dont need to watch from afar! Find a lake or anything, get going, you never know were it will lead

[@lancesmith7235]

/ /v /////v/@@daneatherton7886 Dan. I appreciate and admire your spirit. I would love to be able to take your advice but my circumstance doesn't allow me to do more than witness what others are doing. I'm good with that. I'm grateful for getting to go along and even getting a reply to my comment. I live in less than a modest home that I christened The Silver Lining. I'm on a solo sail too.

[@thesailingkiwi]

Bravo Beau and Brandy, you guys did extremely well to save the boat, yourselves and record a bit of the process - Margaritas all round

[@michaelweston7748]

That goop stuff is priceless, would be caught without it, and thank God for those fishermen!

[@toddabrahamsson1797]

The fisherman are true hero’s, there are good people out there !

[@lisaann2744]

Completely agree.

[@johan8724]

Thats why i eat a lot of fish

[@katja8321]

💜what a day! Happy to know you're safe and still sailing

[@EnglishLawyer]

What can help in these situations is to have a hose pipe ready so that you can disconnect the raw water intake feed to the engine and feed the pipe into the bilge so that the engine picks it up and spits it out the exhaust. It may not be the panacea but every little thing helps.

[@huskidawgs]

Excellent idea. In fact, set this up as a ready-to-go bilge pump by preinstalling the new hose with a valve that you can turn to activate the pump action rather than raw water intake. Then in case you need it, the turn of a valve (or two) will instantly change the engine to a bilge pump,

[@mirasablik7942]

Thank you for remainig me of this solution. I will install it on my boat very soon. Tegarfs from pto Williams

[@MeanJoeNSGA1]

Loved the video. When I was in the US Navy I took a damage control class. You did what they taught us, stuff anything in a whole. aaaagood job to both of you

[@LovingAtlanta]

🙏😇Those fishermen were ANGELS!!! 💝 As poor as they are, they gave you guys that expensive Splash Zone (green goop) to repair your boat and they stayed close by and literally watched over you guys....it brought me to tears!! 😢😭

[@Verradonairun]

Poor? What are you talking about?! They eat better than you do and they live in a country that other people pay good money to spend a week in.

[@LovingAtlanta]

@@Verradonairun - 👍Understood 💝

[@lifelife1616]

Grenadians are the nicest and most helpful people on earth. They would never leave you out there alone.

[@MrLebro11]

My heart was racing with you. Love to fellow the strangers that came to the rescue. There are so many kind & caring people out there that are often overshadowed by negative news. Thanks for sharing this with us & keeping it real❤️

[@dankotz722]

Absolutely amazing. I am so impressed with the way you handled this emergency, filmed it, and told the story. Well done!!!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thank you so much! 💛

[@parishbull]

So glad you guys and the sea pooch are ok. Grenadians, salt of the earth a very special place.

[@richardwall7385]

Well done on staying focused on the two most important things staying afloat and reaching safety. We'll done to the fishermen for helping and staying around. Good luck with the repairs.

[@Michael-cf9lf]

Thank God.. Well done guys looking forward to the hull getting a proper inspection and some solid repairs. Cheers Thumbs up to those fishermen as well.

[@CFC_44]

I admire how you guys stuck together and kept calm. A very scary situation but you both showed exactly how to handle it. Well done and congratulations!

[@WesternArcticAlaska]

Thank you for bringing us along on the peril of the high seas, that sure was harrowing! Glad you will be stronger, in the long run, seeing there sure are plenty of things to learn along the trail we all travel. Shalom!

[@mikemacinnes6120]

You guys stayed so so calm that is why you made it safe. Hats off too you for way everything went. By the book you guys are

[@elcyd220]

The dog looked scared under the table. I'm sure he felt the tension. So glad you guys are safe- we need a follow up of you guys meeting those cool fisherman again.

[@Sommers234]

Great job keeping your cool and huge props to the fishermen!! Their kindness and terrific supply of goop makes for a beautiful story. And lesson learned.

[@seatravel8536]

What can one say except, wow. Glad your safe! Bless the fisherman!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

we will forever be thankful of those guys!!

[@seanward4602]

The green goop is called "splash zone", hardens under water, developed a long time ago by the navy. Last forever, and hardens like a rock. 2 part patch putty

[@ratballs007]

Navicote sir !

[@GotrekGurninsson]

My whole boat is made of that and epoxy putty... every rivet leaks(ed)... still going strong... Of course I only use it on my pond not the ocean :)

[@norml.hugh-mann]

Amen, they would have been unconvinced, but sailing home

[@MontyGumby]

toxic or bad to the enviroment ?

[@ThePinkPanth3r]

@@MontyGumby dont eat it but its not going to harm the environment

[@GerardoRIOSGARCIA]

I am so relieved that you are ok and your boat pass the challenge. The communication and mutual support was incredible. You are a wonderful couple. Love you guys.😍😍🥶🥶

[@hughosborn7292]

Great video!! I am glad you are safe and appreciate the "behind the scenes" of how you handled the emergency. We get to see the beauty of sailing but not always the perils you could experience !!

[@stargatepioneer]

Looking forward to this and how you saved yourselves and your boat. Thank you for sharing these harrowing moments with us.

[@tidalwavenz]

Thanks!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thank you!

[@Diver420420]

So glad you guys made it safely. Love your channel. You guys are an inspiration to all couples working together to get through a major problem!! 👍🏻

[@JibeTalking]

Thank God you are both OK. Way to get after it, and not giving up. That's exactly what has to happen during an emergency, remain calm and work through the problem. It's hard but now you have been through it you can manage anything that is put in front of you. Great Job, you should be proud of yourselves.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thank you so kindly Rob!

[@tata011670]

God, I feel like I’m watching my own kids! My heart is racing, I’m praying, and hoping as hard as an old man can hope. Be safe kids.

[@glenncurtis6577]

That was heart wrenching, a nightmare at sea. I'm so glad you guys were able to make it back to safety!

[@jasetheace71]

Wow....just wow man. Fantastic job, well done to the both of you. Pleased you're both safe. Strong sailers don't even cut it....💪👍

[@kristaready8812]

Great job on continuing to film through such a difficult time! You guys handled that like a BOSS!

[@colinboniface194]

That's a baptism of fire. you've got enough advice on here... I agree with the green goop stuff. Find it... A portion of bendy ply can shape to a hull and back and strengthen a running repair like that with the green goop. Hind sight is priceless isn't it. The main thing is you two didn't panic and loose your marbles... That's the most important thing. You worked through the issue and hell, you made it. Outstanding...

[@michaelthomas4156]

You two are amazing. What courage you both have. And what a great couple. Best wishes to you both! God Bless.

[@00708046]

I'm glad to see you safe ! The ocean can beat the best ! It took everything you had and you didn't give up and that's why you made it !

[@leeh.4453]

That was good work, and good working together. It could have been a panicked cluster, but both of you kept it together really well. In fact, admirably. You're a strong team, and your pup supervised well....

[@somadevo]

Incredible!!! 'Giving thanks you made it to help. Going through this is the only way to see how you would handle this level of challenge and you excelled. Highest Loving Blessings

[@donnakawana]

Soma Devo I agree with you. It's in the stressful points where u can find yourself. Life or death has a way of making you grateful for each new day. ✌💗😊❣

[@googlemate2587]

I love people like you who are going to sink and still have time to install the go pro, press the button record and explain their strategy ... amazing hahaha love this nextflix movie

[@phoenixmyers2933]

WOW! Just WOW! Congrats in making it to port/anchorage! I only hope that when I begin my cruising life I never have to deal with this, but you both did amazingly better than I ever could! God bless you both!

[@donnakawana]

Hon when u start cruising luv u must account for every possibility even those things u don't want to think of. As u see in the blink of an eye things happen an all ur Nevers become lessons or u let them destroy u. Team work, level headedness, an clear communication is key as we saw here. ✌💗😊⛵❣

[@stephenadams674]

The engine cooling water pump can be used to pump water from the bilge, but it's good to have it set up and ready to go by installing a valve that can be switched if needed. But wow! You guys are amazing and so fortunate!!

[@bengtkorswing5279]

WOW! What an adventure. You guys are are true sailers, keeping on going. God bless you and keep you going. I learnt a lot from this video. I long to go sailing again, my boat sank in a tropical storm in West Africa 30 years ago. Maybe when i retire I can get off shore again. I love your videos, keep em coming.

[@jamesgrigsby8201]

Beau & Brandy, OMG!! I’m just now seeing this as I’ve recently started following you. I knew you survived from newer videos, but I was still so afraid for you. This video really speaks to never giving up & to the wonderful people on the water with you! Thanks for sharing. R/Jim Grigsby Virginia Beach

[@tonymorgan2813]

Thank God for the Grenada fishermen' that were pretty close and most of all you guys made it into the harbor safe...great video!!

[@SVDiscipleShip]

Keep on sailing! You both kept your cool, at least on camera 😊, and worked like a team!

[@joesmania]

I noticed it before in a couple of your normal days doing whatever, but a major thing you guys have going for you in a situation is that you're a great team together... You're both very fortunate in that regard each & every day, especially the peaceful uneventful days. Enjoy your youth, & rejoice in each other. You are each other's strength & weakness.

[@williamobrien2107]

OK you guys showed your total bad assness with how you handled that situation so I subscribed. Many folks would have turned on each other under that stress, glad you didn’t. When you get it on land and exposed I would love to see pics of the crack and the repair. Hope you get it fixed quickly, safely and economically. Hang in there.

[@mikepech6822]

On the water, people who can help always will. But kudos to you guys as well. Just got down to business and work at the problem and no one freaking out and screaming and crying we're gonna die.

[@flatron4288]

You guys are incredibly brave. 👍👍

[@boatnutz7726]

Glad all worked out. A crack in the hull will grow larger with every flex of the area. In the 80's many carried odd sizes of plywood to screw to problem area to add strength.......or rip off a piece or two of trim. Then apply splash zone or similar product. Great job on keeping your cool and getting through it. Look forward to more of your adventures.

[@jasonmathews8741]

Glad you guys made it safe that’s awesome you and the boats ok.

[@TheMtns4us]

Enjoyed your video and experience....will be watching

[@billberry557]

Sorry to hear of the problems. Glad you were able to make it to Granada hopefully an inspection will that that is the only weak spot in your hull and not others that may fail in the future. Would think maybe a couple of backup bilge pumps just in case might be in order. Definitely stock up on the green goop the Fisherman provided to you. Be safe, and yes I just ordered one of the shirts (anything to keep the Boat Afloat).

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Definitely going to have gallons of that precious underwater epoxy, plus a heavier duty backup bilge. Thank you SO much for your support!! We appreciate it immensely!

[@texasrednspeck]

I would recommend flex seal tape and more of the green goo as emergency repair in the future.

[@tommygunn1901]

🤦‍♂️😂 OMG I was thinking about the flex seal commercial with the boat

[@SvMobyduck]

Flex seal is no lie good stuff. I had a client with a fiberglass pool take the light niche out and shove flex seal over the hole. It held for over 2 years. I dunno about the friction of moving water over it, but in a static situation it held back 3 ft of head pressure and the hole was about 10" wide. Had a few pieces taped over each other by 2 inches. And maybe 4" overlap. I know it stays on my boat.

[@edherwick6995]

Wow...one of the most riveting videos I've ever watched.......props to you both.....

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Appreciate that Ed! Thank you!

[@xiav2008]

[@verynearlyaboutsailing8114]

Well done you two...well, three actually...I think Una was also a hero. It is amazing that you managed to film anything whilst this was going on. I think everyone who watches this will go out and buy some green goop - even if they don't own a boat. I'm sure you could do a sponsorship deal with the green goop company ;)

[@crashkahuna]

Great video! Your teamwork fantastic, no yelling or panic. You are strong sailors and couple. Everyone should carry that goop!
