Second Attempt! Sailing Passage USVI to Grenada | SailAway 121

After FAIL #1, It's ATTEMPT #2! Passage From USVI to GRENADA! Scenic Tour of ST. CROIX!
This week, after a failed attempt at passage from St. John to Grenada due to crazy weather and squalls, we find ourselves sheltering at St. Croix. We make use of our 3 day layover by renting a car and touring the whole island! It was a whirlwind of sightseeing and now we can't wait to go back and spend more time there. Truly beautiful! But finally, it was time to head back out to sea for our second attempt at an ocean passage to Grenada. This time things certainly started of much better!! Enjoy!! And be sure to SUBSCRIBE for WEEKLY CONTENT EVERY FRIDAY! Cheers!!
Thanks for watching SailAway, the travel documentary of an adventurous sailing couple, plus toddler and dog, sailing the world!

[@SailAwayVlog]

Thank you!

[@MobilMobil-kv5ke]

I dig the oldies music cameos. They’re fun.

[@SailAwayVlog]

Thank you!

[@secondstartotheright]

Love the ACSA hat (Alberta construction safety associations)

[@SailAwayVlog]

Ahhh! Thanks! That one is Alum Creek Sailing Association, which is where both Loren and I started sailing in Ohio.

[@mattg8156]

More Zeke!! Nice video.

[@SailAwayVlog]

Lol...will do! Thanks for watching!

[@gregoryh4601]

So glad you guys and Gal are safe, and stay safe enjoy life too the fullest. I so happy to River he will learn so much more with you Too then in our bad School System. Take Care and maybe do one more Live Concert for the People that are like you in Quarantine. God Bless.

[@SailAwayVlog]

Thank you! And I definitely plan to do another concert before we leave Grenada!

[@lootllama8862]

Your vlogs are so good! They're like watching a movie and you have such great adventures and info, like that awesome blue water, wow. It's great to see Rivers having a blast sailing and not getting sea sick. Beautiful sunrise to. That's cause Rivers has those sea legs from sailing so long. Wont be long you'll be boat school the little guy. Eric, self stirring scrambled eggs, a new invention. There it is, land ho. Stay safe you guys!

[@SailAwayVlog]

Thank you! Rivers is definitely becoming quite the sea dog. :-)

[@erichyney6287]

Nice vid. Especially liked the sun rise parts with the deep blue desert as the background.

[@SailAwayVlog]

Thanks! We did get a couple epic sunrises out there!

[@CaraVarv]

I love Rivers reaction of wait, I know this isn’t where we set off to go to yesterday! Lol

[@SailAwayVlog]

Cracks me up every time!

[@jeffbeck9028]

Holy dramatic!!! Your tunes sure made my anxiety ride up a bit! Nice you’re safe in a spot so tropical ... however still a bit disgruntled that I am not allowed in!

[@SailAwayVlog]

Yeah, Loren went cinematic with her song picks the last couple vids! Your birthday was just a month too early! They literally just opened to tourism yesterday.

[@DowneastThunderCreations]

Happy to see you had a safe passage and not get caught in the rougher sea conditions you experienced when you initially departed the USVI.👍

[@SailAwayVlog]

Thanks, us too! Definitely an enjoyable passage.

[@neil.macqueen]

I enjoy them all and this one especially. Miss living and diving on STX. (Hey Lauren!)

[@SailAwayVlog]

Thanks Neil! Say hi to Colin for me!

[@glmaguire]

Loved this episode

[@SailAwayVlog]

Thanks!

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

Nice!

[@SailAwayVlog]

Thanks!

[@sigvardc]

Very nice video Thanks

[@SailAwayVlog]

Thank you!

[@gary5831]

That Q flag takes on a whole new meaning now a days..... Glad to see you arrived

[@SailAwayVlog]

Lol...yep, we thought the same thing. Thanks for watching!

[@KandiSueTheBlue]

Great video. We love that you didn't give up. Rivers is such a happy little boy. How did Zeke go with bathrooming during the passage? Which one of you talented sailors does the editing? Keep up the great work guys.⚓⛵🌬😎🌴

[@SailAwayVlog]

Thank you! Zeke goes up on deck and we rinse it off with a bucket, though he always holds it a long time before giving in. Loren does the bulk of the editing and I do the audio balancing and nitpicky stuff once she's done. :-)

[@humalinelewis1180]

The ocean looks very scary.

[@SailAwayVlog]

It definitely can be. Thanks for watching!

[@bobyandell3898]

try steaming your hard boiled eggs rather than boiling them--it makes it a ton easier to peel them. thought i would throw that in there as i see you boiling eggs a bunch. Thanks for your video's.

[@SailAwayVlog]

Thanks! Haven't heard of that but we'll definitely look it up!

[@timmusolf6552]

Following you as you share your adventures. We have a Hunter41 and need to modify the saloon table as you did. Having trouble finding the episode showing how you did this. Could you steer me to that episode? Thanks

[@SailAwayVlog]

Thanks for watching! Loren thinks that was #77. If not, it's definitely right around there.

[@svZia-Switch51]

Nice job on the passage! By now you have finished quarantine and done some exploring of the island. Are you in St George's?

[@SailAwayVlog]

Thanks! Yeah, we've been cruising around Grenada for a while. Currently in Carriacou, but we've spent a lot of time in Prickly Bay, Woburn Bay and St. George's. Lots of options around here!

[@svZia-Switch51]

@@SailAwayVlog Excellent. Keep an eye out for Opal (Tatyana 52) and Kestrel (IP35). Good friends that are down there with you now.

[@SailAwayVlog]

Hmmm....I think I've seen Kestrel...we'll keep a lookout!

[@tomspiers1658]

It’s probably nice to have an uneventful passage for a change, are you thinking of plans for after tornado season where you’re going next

[@SailAwayVlog]

Yes, very nice! Looks like enough islands are opening up that we'll be headed north through the island chain a d just play it by ear as we go.

[@secondstartotheright]

I dont like patron because they take a cut, please oh please link the XRP tipbot to your youtube and wesite, the whole financial world runs on XRP and Ripple so why don't you?

[@SailAwayVlog]

I'll have to look into crypto more. Frankly, we don't know much about it and wouldn't currently know what the hell we were doing! We actually really like Patreon. They do take a cut, but it's only 5%, which for us is worth it for the organization of our "crew", benefits, simplicity in tracking everything, etc., and they've made their interface exremely easy for creators to use. Though I agree, we need a simpler option for those who just want to offer a small "tip" once in a while. We offer that through PayPal, but they of course take a cut as well.

[@secondstartotheright]

@@SailAwayVlog well dont stop what you guys are doing, love every video and am greatly inspired by your adventure. Paypal uses crypto in the background to make it operate faster and smoother they are a Ripple partner, Ripple created XRP.

[@secondstartotheright]

@@SailAwayVlog if you want to learn more about crypto coinbase has a learn and earn free section. Takes 10 minutes and all you do is learn about a crypto and as you learn you lol well earn.
