Our WORST Ocean Crossing! 🌊 The BIGGEST SEAS we've ever seen! (Ep 212)

i really like that sentiment. it paraphrases the rudyard kipling poem perfectly! "If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, . . .

Sailing up the coast of Somalia is the epitome of taking a gamble 100%!

[@lvi3818]

Absolutely astonished that they took their family through this region. Even a year ago it is one of the most lawless areas in the world. Piracy is rampant, if a couple of gunboats caught you, the boat would sold, the adults might be held for ransom ( or thrown overboard) and the children either ransomed or just sold into slavery. As others have commented, they just don't seem to consider any risk factors. Do you think if anyone went overboard without a PFD (rogue wave) that they would be able to start the engines and turn the boat around in tie to save them? You won't see a thing in those waves.

So envious of the places you've been that I've not but thankfully a lot as looked familiar (Europe, Seychelles, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand). Have the song on my Spotify now and the first time it popped up randomly I can't even describe the actual physical reaction I had, the feeling of happiness thinking I was going to get to watch another episode. It's been a joy to watch all of these. Beyond impressed with what you've done

[@tfmac2011]

There was a fellow sailor on a cat that made that route maybe 10 years ago. He was a dentist from Arizona I believe. He addressed the stresses on the boat (especially cats) with speed. He dragged a line behind the boat with various things (junk) attached to slow the boat down and minimize speed. I wish I could find his site again. Anyway he also had a segment with huge winds on the Red Sea.

It's always a good idea to stuff the hatch with towels or any physical barrier to stop the flow. You can also pump the water into a bucket. You don't want loose water in the boat.

This is great to see - I spent five months sailing in that part of the world back in 1998, and this brings back a lot of memories (most of them, but by no means all, good). Got blown off an anchorage - flat calm to over 40kn in just a few minutes - and chased along the coast for 36 hours, surfing swells almost all the way to Yemen, slightly scary and very tiring but also exhilarating. Beautiful part of the world that's probably more risky, politically, now than it was then. One of my greatest-ever marine memories is a couple of hours sitting with legs dangling over bow in bright moonlight, watching otherwise invisible bow-surfing dolphins making trails through the phosphoresence off the Hadhramaut coast. Socotra is insanely beautiful, and ecologically amazing both on land and underwater. What a fantastic experience of the world for your young people, too. Thanks for this, and well done guys on getting to one of the greatest remaining beyond-the-back-of-beyond parts of the world.

At 9:00 one son was outside the cockpit aft w/no harness or jacket. It looked brief but man it would be awhile I suspect before you could turn around, if you could safely turn around. I assume there must be a ring buoy or throw buoy somewhere but the odds of getting it near a person in the water in those winds looked slim. I know you have lots of experience but shit happens.

I would love to do this, but I get sea sick. It's such an extreme nausea, and I HATE being nauseated. So it's a no go..

Love this show ❤

Could have watched at least 20 more minutes after waiting a week 😞 Still I know seas were rough and just glad you got through them and are safe. See ya all next week! Hugs from Tennessee 🇺🇸

Hello how are you doing?

[@Lisa0fFaith]

As a mother I want to give Renee huge RESPECT. Mama Bear I felt your concern in voice. You handled it damn well lady! I pray you calmer seas. And the Lord keeps a protective hedge around you your vessel and the family. In Jesus name. Amen.
