You guys should have a couple hundred thousand subscribers! Love your videos

[@dozer1642]

You are a lucky man Garrett. ✌️

[@hansslob6749]

That smile when setting that anchor, great! His total face expresses proud!

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Garrett's smile @20:12 and Ruth's sweet voice throughout speaks volumes. ⚓️💨⛵️

[@SteveeCee]

You two just get happier and more mellow. Ruth, you have a glow.

[@nathansharp3193]

I hope you watch your old videos of you working in the snow dreaming of the life you now live. I am so happy you are living the life you dreamed of so many years ago.

[@tyroneporter8998]

It’s like being part of the family I never had… blessings always

[@davidnichols147]

Amazing, first time's bring on the joyous feeling of accomplishment aboard Rediviva. Not only do these accomplished sailors hove too, they also anchor under sail.

[@stuartnicholls1569]

Another useful sail trick is to use the main's topping lift to raise the boom to 'scandalize' the main, to depower it when maneuvering but to keep sailing. Ideal when having to maneuvering round other moored craft when anchoring. Probably it an old trick you have used for years, just love your channel well done you two for all your hard work.

[@keithwignall1428]

I'm an old man, but I sailed from childhood.... I know the feeling.

[@taekedevries7086]

Very nice to hear about the deeper considerations behind Garrett's choices to sail so carefully. Personally, I think he underestimated himself in terms of the proper execution of everything during construction.

[@thomasarussellsr]

There's always more to learn as you meet new situations, especially with a new boat or new equipment. After years aboard a boat you'll still find yourselves learning something new occasionally. Nice anchor set, under sail. Love the openness to still learning. That's part of a healthy life mindset. See you guys next week.

[@MCP53]

That was such a refreshing episode 🙂 Meanwhile, on an English canal, our way is barred by a broken lock and CRT, our Canal and River Trust, were very quick to bring in a floating crane to investigate. Stop planks have to go in and the lock drained, and then the diagnosis and repair can be decided. Meanwhile, I can watch you guys sailing around the Sea of Cortez - like I said, very refreshing 🙂

[@rayjohnson9781]

I always love a glassy day. 🐮🤙☮️I like slow.😊

[@barrygrant2907]

I think this video tops the list for crew smiles.

[@shaunroberts9361]

Just Outstanding.

[@archstanton9206]

I remember watching when those first videos hit, from up in the forest. That seems so far away now. Extract every moment of happiness you can from the now, for these are the best of times...

[@moopurce8973]

As a carpenter (retired), I have enjoyed your channel on many different levels. Thanks for taking us along!

[@claudehopper9813]

Viva ! Rediviva and the Crew that sail her ! Great job anchoring under sail . For years we sailed motorless and always sailed into the slip ( upwind of course ) . When you only use wind & current your sailing skills really get honed .

[@georgehorning7027]

As a very occasional sailor from Indiana I continue to be amazed by the complexity of a sailboat. Witness Garrett, a very experienced sailor, continuing to explore the characteristics of Rediviva after sailing her for a year.

[@bobflores]

Very nice episode. From the videography to the well written voice over and to the pure joy you are experiencing as you learn what Redaviva can do. Thanks for the episode.

[@billlippincott3937]

Another excellent episode. Ruth your narration is so professional and enjoyable. I always enjoy your life's wise observations. Best from Boston.

[@zerofox7347]

Redaviva would look cool with another short cabin top at the stern. Then a Longer tiller reaching over so the helm would be between the two cabin tops. It would give you another double berth at the back, A Captains cabin! 🤩

[@davidcogan9163]

Looks like your almost full circle on your gorgeous gaffer you should be very proud of yourselves best wishes for your first 12 months David Australia 🦘

[@TheOverproof151]

It's amazing what you can accomplish on a sailboat without an engine. I've backed the main to set the hook many times in my day. 😁👍

[@wornoutwrench8128]

Got up, grabbed a Tee Shirt out of the drawer and threw it on. Flipped on the computer to see what was new on YT. Oh look, new S&T episode, best have a watch while having my coffee. It was at this point that I realized that I had my Salt and Tar Tee shirt on. How fitting. Great episode, I caught myself smiling several times. I was wondering how much I would like the sailing channel compared to the boat build channel. I'm loving it.

[@davidbrooks1378]

Red is a nice color on Ruth. 👌

[@patbenzo]

I'm following from day 1 and still enjoy every episode, love your opportunisme.

[@jonathanscott550]

Nice video nice sail congrats on dropping anchor by just sailing in that's an accomplishment. You know by not giving her sea trails is fine as you were sure in your workmanship. This now makes sailing around always a new day as you get to try different things with the boat. see you later next video

[@omna826]

Nice to see that a year later you still learning how she handles

[@eralko]

Ruth you do some of the best narration of all the channels I visit

[@SaltandTar]

Ah, thank you so much! R

[@pedropenduco3180]

Wow! Where has that year gone? Seems like only weeks. 😮 Nice to see how content you are, with the boat, with the place and with each other. Thank you for sharing.

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Second watch to boost the YT algorithm pennies Thank you Ruthie and Garret.

[@alfredpinkham4321]

The first time you get her in a real blow and see how well she does with mizzen and staysail you will be very happy.

[@markwhittingham5270]

Nice to see you guys enjoying the fruits of your labours, well done.😊

[@Mumbo_Jumbo_Kiwi.1]

Awesome to see the conference & how delighted you guys are after a yr handling the boat. Deserve a cigar.

[@jademurray376]

Pleasure 🙏 as usual.

[@oliversmith9756]

Every day's a school day. So cool.

[@olronholleran1310]

Gramps here, Love the sound of your voice. Your nsrations are like a pome, and make me feel ilike was there. thanks G

[@mileakin2689]

Watched you off and on almost from very beginning of your build it’s really nice to see you both out there enjoying yourselves.

[@frankreed8610]

Sweet! Nicely done 🎉👍

[@MrFroglips69]

As always, a groovy episode. Your ship is a dream boat of beauty.

[@rayb3117]

You guys are awesome and thats why I love this channel.

[@glennpace9230]

It's cool to see how well she sails

[@benshore7357]

Good times 🎉 I think I need a sailboat ha ha🎉

[@davidm6553]

Great anchoring! Love the smile!

[@davidamburgey9398]

Love you guys!!!!! Keep living the good life.

[@svglorious]

You guys are having too much fun 😂😂👍🤣

[@michaelgraham85]

Time is just a figment of our imagination.

[@ronaldwarren5220]

Just beautiful!

[@derekwilkinson7939]

Another great episode, thank you. 👍👍

[@paxwallace8324]

It's nice to see you both demonstrate the real value and life enrichment of a "Labor of Love"

[@keithproctor6380]

I have been watching you two for awhile now and the boat you two built is incredible. You guys are so blessed...you have an exceptional Woman that is not only capable but Beautiful. You have a great ship and I do wish I had money, because I would buy your Sails if I could.. just to watch a real sailor do his thing. Stay safe, have fun...and by the way, I'm a Woodworker and have been for 54 years, so I know how you feel about that call to build. Can't wait to see your new build.

[@richb313]

It's hard to believe you have been sailing her for almost a year both of you have gained experience but more importantly it is the confidence has increased and willingness to adapt has increased.

[@johnkc413]

Sailing is always a awesome constant learning experience. Even better when enjoying life while learning and sailing.

[@mitsstim2664]

Really enjoyed all the sailing skills.

[@johnoconnor4941]

For those how don't know (to use google), beam reach, right angle wind on a port or starboard "beam". Firstly, you mentioned it and secondly I needed to know what that meant so googled it. Thanks for the edumacation...and the vicarious joy..

[@beniank9091]

Awesome guys, just awesome.

[@delmanicke9228]

Love the music. You guys look like you're having a great time, and it's a very cool video. 👍

[@clayz1]

13:56 Beauler would love this. His designs are world worthy.

[@pierremariecordier6365]

Quel grand plaisir d'être invité toutes les semaines dans votre voyage !!!! BRAVO, BRAVO et BRAVO !!!!!

[@steveknight7680]

😅It is hot in Texas 110 or so and staying under a/c. Always waiting on Thursday s too catch up on you two love birds.THANKS! What a boat you 2have built! Living adventure through you two. Steve rhome tx

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

Outstanding!

[@johnnyrevel5545]

Always look forward to your video. So natural and not staged.

[@sartorst3376]

Love to see her sail

[@whitneylake2107]

Getting better all the time ! So much joy, beautiful vistas and cool background music which all fit together so nicely !

[@Davidcallard]

Red Aviva has so much character! ❤ And she's just starting to get her own patina which only comes with use of the boat. She is the ideal craft for you guys! Hurricane season for 2023 may be a fairly quiet one for the EastPac if your upper level wind shear keeps on ɓlowing the tops off your t'storms! Here's hoping! ❤

[@2Moza]

From that old tent and crane lifting the Engine in love it. Stay Safe Guys.

[@boooshes]

Yep, that was a good one!

[@nigelmorgan3449]

Hi guys nice sail bute looking yacht

[@AngusJohnson-ei1kk]

[@rosesrambler]

Man the way you were ginning I know your cheeks are hurting 😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@markbryant5099]

Just amazing. Love every bit of what you do. All the best from Cairns, Australia

[@guizzmohsam1571]

... becomming one with the boat ... 😁

[@johnwhistler9380]

You guys are awesome!

[@ronrancilio2274]

As usual another venture in paradise. The scenery is a bit stark but the blue ocean balances that out nicely. BTW Ruth you look stunning with your glasses on. Are they new? I don’t remember seeing them before. Fair winds and following seas my friends. Until next week.

[@billrudgard8101]

Oh my god! Has it been nearly a year since leaving dock! Feels so much less. Stay safe. Luv you guys ♥️♥️

[@Fantic156]

That feeling when you're making bow waves and lean out to watch ... 🥰

[@robertmiller3987]

Enjoyed the video - very much!

[@JeffJensen55]

Love seeing how happy Garrett is when he accomplishes something for the first time. You guys are an awesome team! ❤❤

[@gregoryhanson971]

Great Job Guys!

[@defel1]

Your opening shot of the boat made me realize what a beautiful vessel you've made.

[@president2]

Love it keep it up as always 💘

[@JagLite]

Great sail!

[@ckbass32]

Great video as always, guys!

[@keithh3463]

great sailing love it

[@scotblack1386]

Nice job you guys, I started watching when you went south from Washington.

[@Billestlà]

I have felt that Rediviva was often used more as a motor cruiser so this episode was particularly joyful. :) All ImagesVideos

[@krockpotbroccoli65]

Man, what a treat it is to see her out under full sail! Rediviva is truly a beautiful, capable ship. Cheers!

[@jackdaley7495]

Another gem. Both you guys have amazing skills.

[@fireantsarestrange]

Wow.. you guys up late uploading. I already got it at 5am over here in Florida this morning 7/20. Thank you guys so much for posting up.

[@t.tarkowski6653]

Thanks for another great episode! You really have great content, very well made!❤

[@thomasthornton5737]

😃👍👍👍❤ You guys are looking good from here in Seattle!

[@peterasacker5948]

You will love the radar on night passages...

[@jakeoddmonic2956]

Learning your boat looks like so much fun ! your both so epic ,I can feel your happiness. 🤘🤘🤘⛵️

[@pfalzgraf7527]

It is good to see that you would love your boat even if you hadn't built her yourselves!

[@SevenBates]

My first episode was your Napa launch video! Woohoo 🙌 13:30 - that's some serious wind noise. If you guys know which windsock fits your external microphone, throw it in your Amazon store. I'd be happy to get it for you. I've been enjoying this channel for nearly a year and I'd love to contribute! ❤

[@josephdeak2257]

What a great channel.

[@roberthumphreys7494]

Another great video
