Setting Sail on an 1800-Mile Adventure: American Samoa to the Marshall Islands! [Ep. 171]

[@bos6782]

Safe travels, good to see some content from you both.

[@SailingSweetRuca]

Thanks & great to hear from you!

[@stubby2822]

Really good video. The drone shots along with your other videos while you were there showed just how beautiful American Samoa is. And the people you met were amazing. The smiles when you are sailing says a lot though. Keep having fun and stay safe.

[@SailingSweetRuca]

Thanks Bill and Celia! We always look forward to your nice comments 🙂

[@jpdj2715]

Nice. Three months Samoa - time flies when you're having fun.

[@SailingSweetRuca]

Right on! 👍

[@johnmalenchek6597]

Good to see you back! After a month without a new post I was getting worried. Good luck on your passage. See you in the Marshall Islands

[@SailingSweetRuca]

Glad to be back!

[@nancygladieux7598]

Great video, great hoist on the kite. My favorite is the drone footage.

[@SailingSweetRuca]

Thank you!

[@FernandoOliveira-oy4gy]

Howdy y’all! Glad to see y’all back and doing great. Hard to say goodbye to some friends made along the way, but good to know that the journey continues and it will bring new experiences and many more nice people to build y’all’s memories. Thanks for the great episode. Safe sailing ⛵️

Another Sweet Video! Fair winds.

I can tell you one thing,you’re not missing anything State side. It’s good you are making lots of memories now. You’ll have lots to talk about later in life. ❤️

[@gertboerman3666]

Your sail trim is great. Still racers cruising.

[@SailingSweetRuca]

Thanks!

[@TheSWRProject]

Oh more Cooking with Kate... Course Bagels Count... ;) Be Safe... 🙏

[@SailingSweetRuca]

Bagels count when you're fighting the seasickness 😆 haha thank you 🙏

[@HopeOfJoe]

Ooooooops. Missed this one somehow and watched the newest one before. 🙂‍↕️ Both are easy going great sailing episodes. Again, Roxy is looking great. Pro Tip: water alone is not the best hydrator. Put some salt (pink or Celtic is best) as you are also loosing electrolytes and they need to be replaced as well as fluid. ☺️🥰 See you next time. ✨🌊💨⛵️⚓️🏝️👙🌞✨ 🎄

[@SailingSweetRuca]

Good call about the hydration!!!!! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video!

Hi from REDEMPTION sorry I didn't get to say goodbye. Thanks again for the info on Chile will be looking at your earlier vids Jackie says hi to Roxie.

[@raylawes8938]

Hey guys, did you get to visit minerva reef? Maybe i missed that one. Roxy would have been one of a very few dogs to step ashore.

[@captainjimolchs]

That's a bit out of their path.

[@SailingSweetRuca]

We skipped Minerva reef on this pass.

[@raylawes8938]

@@SailingSweetRuca thanks for the reply, would love to visit myself one day, best wishes and hugs for roxy

[@allynonderdonk7577]

I saw you pick up a big bag of dog food. Is it harder to find dog food in the Pacific? Seen any cat food? Asking for a friend...

[@SailingSweetRuca]

Haha definitely cat food everywhere! But options are much fewer than in the states, obviously. Hope the Bed is doing great! 😉😻

[@csafdari]

How does it work with a dog, what are the requirements for a trip like this?

[@mattdouglas5570]

Did you consider New Zealand I'm sure you thought about it

[@SailingSweetRuca]

We did, but it’s quite an expense with a dog unfortunately.

[@mattdouglas5570]

@SailingSweetRuca you are very wize

[@petermcgraw7759]

@@SailingSweetRuca Are you coming to Australia, they have strict quarantine regulations similar to NZ!

[@SailingSweetRuca]

We choose not so subject our 14 yo dog to that. It would not be in her best interest so while we have Roxy, we probably won't come to Australia. I've also read most beaches and parks to come ashore aren't pet friendly so it's not ideal even if you do get checked in?

[@arthurme1911]

All country’s In The world need to give back the land to who it belongs to

[@ChileExpatFamily]

I always hated Customs and Passports. Dogs should have License no humans. Hey it is just money eh? Jim in Chile

[@SailingSweetRuca]

Part of the reason we are sailing straight to the Marshalls... fewer countries, fewer customs...

[@mxblyxky]

Roasting food in a tefal pan is crazy as it overheats and becomes very toxic. Many years ago I threw away all my tefal pans because it is an artificial and toxic product. Better to toast over low heat in a special iron skillet like a French de Buyer.

[@jackechan1311]

[@ainord1]

Why if you are sailing around the world would you miss a whole continent like Australia. Doesn't make sense

[@SailingSweetRuca]

It does if you have a dog.
