Wow, loved it! The best! As a US Sailing instructor, teaching mostly around and out the Golden Gate. The N pacific can be quite similar to this. We do our best to avoid conditions like This but it happens. I sit and watch this and you two are TEXT BOOK right on! Love your communications and team work. This is where the magic happens. This video should be required viewing for some of our more challenging classes. Your procedures and executions are so right on! And on top of all this your videoing all of it!! I just have one thing that kept bugging me. The open companionway. I kept saying “close it close it”. Ha ha. Obviously no roguish or freakish waves made you regret it. But if you were going to find one (even a smallish one), this might be a good place! Yes, guilty, had a number of gallons come in. And wiped out some of the nav station. Again, thanks for this wonderful version of this passage. I’ll keep watching with a grin on my face!

Now that’s a sailing video!!❤

Hi there! I am Dorian (S.V. Arcanum). My wife and I started following your exploits when you made it to French Polynesia. In reviewing your 'rounding the Horn' episode, out "hats are off to yas' on this epic adventure. You two pulled off something no other couples or 'pop' cruising KZbin channel family/group has attempted; to my knowledge? Not gonna get you into Guiness' records, but you it will certainly be one of those struggles, and accomplishments you will never forget! Wow. Just watched your arrival in Pago Pago. Another feat. Fair Winds and safety to you both, from a slightly older couple (65, 69) who may not have the remaining muscle for something like repeating Slocum's journey, but we are looking to head straight SSW from the Oregon Coast for some fresh coconuts. Peace! (Cathy and) Dorian

Fuuuuckin A !! Superb stuff. One of the best sailing videos I have ever seen. ❤❤

Wow superb compliment. Thanks so much!

[@SailingSweetRuca]

Awesome! We are happy to hear you enjoyed the ride!

[@nealchristensen1793]

Wow most flipping amazing adventure you guy just love for the undoable pure adrenaline !

[@1sheinz]

Attached a girl Roxy , you're likely one of less than a handful off dogs too have ever set eyes on the horn. GREAT EPISODE GUY'S , what an amazing achievement to have accomplished. It is so Great that you brought us all there with you, a place I'll mot ever see in my life, so THANK YOU CHEERS AND FAIR WINDS Steve h.

[@SailingSweetRuca]

Cheers & thanks Steve!

[@WillN2Go1]

This is absolutely amazing, even more amazing this second time. This is indeed what sailing is. (I love music but I don't 'hear' music in my head when I experience or remember sailing.) I've been under sail far from land, but our max winds were about 35 knots, and not Cape Horn. (If Google was run by smart people they'd send you $100k for recording an absolutely incredible experience made by people who actually know what they are doing. Then they'd tell the world about it.) Let's see if I can kick in.

Thanks for the comment!

[@samssungs4495]

Outstanding job in hairy sailing conditions! You've got a reason to celebrate, few have rounded the Horn with that kind of class to be able to make that claim!

[@gertboerman3666]

Epic.

[@philipwright7186]

One for the sailing officianados. It's all we need, no music or stunts, just the reality of what you achieved. Great stuff and congratulations again for making it safely round.

[@williamsecor7745]

You are both a little crazy. A little crazy is good

[@jpdj2715]

Impressive and great sailing. I watched the video with more voice over and music but this one beats it. An old architect once said that "less is more" ;)

[@Capt.sierra]

Enjoy every minute like I was there, after 140,000 in my log book , is one of the experiences, I never have Crossing Cape Horn 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

You guys never stop amazing me. you are the epitome of teamwork! You guys never quit smiling. That j46 is one hell of a boat

It's not always easy to sail as a couple but we are loving it!

[@earlashton1342]

So good. Good to see again. Love your sailing.

[@colinedwards7367]

You two are true sailors choosing Cape Horn and not staying between Cancer and Capricorn and circumnavigating via the Panama canal and the Suez canal. I trust you plan to go around the Cape of Good Hope my home town. I Salute you both.

[@SailingSweetRuca]

That's the plan. Will see where the wind takes us! Thanks for following along 🙂

[@FernandoOliveira-oy4gy]

Awesome. Thanks for the no-filter footage. Team work makes the dream work. Y’all da legend! The best 2-person & 1-dog sailor crew ever. What a nice partnership under extreme conditions. Thanks for the special edition episode. 👏🏻

[@dilligafwoftam985]

For sailors the wind, the waves and the whine of the wind in the rigging are music ... 😊🇦🇺

[@billjeffery2419]

Great video, when it's time to sail you two work as a team very well.thanks fir sharing

[@GlendaMixer-jz7vc]

How exciting. We are so proud to be your patrons. 15 knots and sideways wow

Cape Horn the most temperamental of meetings of seas, oceans, and winds quite an accomplishment!

[@SailingSweetRuca]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Purrington]

Congrats!!

[@Mafiakitty]

We gotta do this someday; it looks exhilarating! Not sure our boat could handle it right now, though. And I don't think our cat would be very happy 😆

[@chefjono]

Thanks. Has a similar vibe to when I'm tearing up the miles in my old sportscar for hours up the mountain roads. After a while the journey is a comfort, you get into a zone. Hard to stop, just keep on trucking.

[@mpdsailing]

Thanks for the re-mix!

[@sandyestabrook3898]

I say again Magnifico !

[@lisaharper1827]

Great battle! Love it raw!

[@stubby2822]

Epic. Best sailing video I have ever seen on KZbin. Original or Re-mastered it's still the same heart pounding adventure. Very elite group of people you all and Roxy joined. Keep having fun and stay safe. Bill

[@alanluscombe8a553]

It must be quite the feeling knowing you are about to go through Cape Horn

[@cestmoi1262]

Without the music it was more like real life/ being there. Thanks.

[@OldSchoolDo]

That was incredible footage ...the level of competence is high , communication , key . well done ! Personally we dont have this ambition for cape horn or even crossing the Atlantic , i'll stay home and sail our home waters " Sthlm Skärgård" -> Stockholms Archipelago and the Med :D CHeers

[@jpdj2715]

You're in North-North Atlantic territory there. Cape Horn is 56 South and in the Northern Hemisphere 56 gets you to Edinburgh latitude. London-Amsterdam-Berlin already at 52N. The Atlantic can be wild and its North Sea branch may get to even wilder sea states incidentally. That makes rounding Cape Horn no less of a mean feat. Great watching material.

[@Paraphen]

Some of the footage looking aft from the camera mounted by the companionway almost looks like it was filmed on a greenscreen (I mean that in a good way, it really captures how unreal it must be…)

Curious whether you get to pick the ads that are shown on your channel or do they just appear?

[@SailingSweetRuca]

Definitely not! They vary from country to country and likely are based on a variety of videos you watch or whatever demographic information they have on you 🙂🙃 Hope you had some funny ones!

The Cape of Good Horn is world famous for being the most dangerous waters for boats. Why would you take such risk?

[@SailingSweetRuca]

It’s all a matter of perspective. Got to get out there and enjoy the world.
