Wonderful how you gave us the feel for night sailing. So many of us were right there with you as your well constructed prose brought us right aboard. No shots of the young lady at the helm on watch...is she ok? The boat looks fabulously well cared for. You can really tell how much you love to sail. Nothing like sitting in the cockpit watching the waves roll by. No wonder the famous round the worlder (Moitissier?) just kept going.

[@os5017]

II love sailing, I love the sound of the waves rushing against the boat, and love the sound of the wind running thru the sails, the music background just gets in the way of all that, rather not have any music.

[@martyjouett9949]

I loved being along for the passage albeit you tube. Thanks Rick.

[@audreyseddon9749]

I was on a cruise in 1987 that stopped in at St. Thomas USVI aboard the Royal Caribbean Nordic Prince. It's a lovely place like most in the region; one of the excursions I was on was a snorkeling trip which was fun and educational. I was sad to leave the place behind. It's good to see that it's recovering from the storms. I love your account of the sailing conditions. One can't see much of the stars from civilization.

[@soving]

After so much time spent in a relatively small zone, it's easy to see your excitement. I am guessing it is quite satisfying to have planned and executed a transition from charter operator to videography to be partially supported by your KZbin fans/admirers. What a great time, best of luck in your adventures Rick. Will be watching from frozen, snowy Ottawa :)

[@jeffscherer1078]

Great to see you're heading to new destinations!

[@jamesk8198]

Great to see you in "uncharted" territory! Looking forward to following the journey. Fair Winds! SV Sea Dragon

[@johnlcallaway]

Always enjoy videos of beautiful boats on good seas. Thanks for sharing. To be fair, I also enjoy videos of ratty boats on terrible seas and everything in-between...

[@srqlisa7881]

I know you are havign a good time in Bonnaire, good for you Rick. That was a nice passage for sure. Looking forward to your next video. : ) peace

[@14Marathons]

Great video, Rick. Thanks and Cheers!

[@DaveSabol]

I know that it's late, but I'm superstitious. Fair winds and following seas! I know you made it (obviously) but I always wish it to my sailing friends and the whole time difference thing mess with your mind. Great video ... yet again ... regardless of the synchronicity of time versus reality. You're a natural story teller and I appreciate that talent.

[@craigme2583]

Capt Rick been waiting on some cruisy cruising. Thank you,! I could just listen to you talk about sailing all day. Gentle soul! Keep on sailing dude. Love the funky glasses btw... Kept hearing noises, thought your audio was faulty....eeeer ooops Tiki. I thought the death star must have hit, but know it was there all along. Thanks for taking me along Captain my captain...

[@Maddie-Girl]

Looking forward to your new sailing area will be awesome for sure stay safe cheers

[@jerryfield5815]

Awesome golly I can't wait to get out there.

[@jacque7736]

For some people it's " Where is Bonaire ?"... for others, it's " Where is Main Duck Island ?" :-) Nice job on the passage Rick, always as cool, quality of a good captain.

[@fazzaz31]

True fact: at 6 feet above sea level the visual distance to the horizon is 4.2 NM. No wonder you didn't see Bonaire when you thought you might. And (not to be snarky), but that's why sailing ships before the age of radar had crow's nests. Land a'hoy and happy sails.

[@glenpeters955]

Your already sounding like a new man Rick, I think you have needed a new challenge more than you thought. Stay safe and have fun.

[@petermyers479]

Bless up all. Love watching you sail since I can no longer. May your keel always leave happy wakes behind you. Thanks for another great video.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks Peter, glad you enjoy! :)

[@georgeplunkett6029]

Be safe ,God bless and always have fun . We love your Vlogs they are the best Rick .

[@tonypoulos1187]

Glad to see the safety harness and life jacket:) Scares me that many newbies do not understand how important that is!

I especially like the passage videos so I really enjoyed this video thank you Rick

[@orobiller1]

Yeah!!! Looking forward to the new places you will take us Rick!!

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

Friday night, with the full moon, there were a blue million stars out and the sky was cold and clear. Love the way that feels! You describing your sail and the sky is so relatable. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and I look forward to future SSL adventures.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks Mate, more good things coming! :)

[@billlawmarshall5197]

Nice video Rick. Offshore sailing is something I have always wanted to do. I have been sport fishing about 60 miles offshore but I have never been sailing offshore. I will look forward to watching your new sailing adventures going to new sailing destinations you have never been to before. Hope all is well with you

[@danielprinsloo2917]

All i can say is "Brilliant" - and thank you

[@michaeledwardparker9497]

Love the new feel to you’re great videos captain Rick love and light

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

lots of new travels coming up, glad you like! :)

[@Ralphinsc]

Bonaire! Bon-where? Bon-there!! LOL. Glad you found landfall at that elusive island, Captain Rick!

[@pirateracer69]

Hi guys, best of everything on this new adventure mon Capitaine. It made me sad sometimes to see an old sea wolf sort of ''Blazé'' from 15 years in the same places. Shaking the fleabag was the greatest and certainly the scariest decision to take.

[@catboatadventures7208]

Hi Rick, My wife and I are really enjoying all your adventures, and we are living vicariously through you (not sure if you realize that, but I'll bet everyone that is subscribed to you is doing the same thing). Thank you for showing your pfd and tether earlier in the video. But I do have one beef with you however. As a "man overboard" instructor for the U.S. Power Squadrons, it is driving me crazy that you don't wear pfd's often enough. While I noticed that you do when times get rough offshore, I want you to consider doing it more often. Not only because it will show good example when others are watching your videos, but for your own personal safety as well. I want you (and others watching this channel) to think about this scenario. One of you randomly falls overboard while just off shore. Can the other single-handedly recover you, especially if you are unconscious? Even when the seas are relatively calm, this would probably be a challenge. Especially inexperienced crew members that you often have on your boat. Please think about that, and after you do, do a video about it. I learned this lesson the hard way myself, when I accidentally got knocked overboard. I was embarrassed because I am a pretty experienced sailor. I was lucky. But afterwards, after thinking about different scenarios of what could have happened, now I teach the "man overboard" course to others as much as I can. It is extraordinarily difficult to get another back on board, if unconscious, when you are alone. Then think about the same scenario at night. Pretty scary. I also want you to practice falling overboard while tethered and with heavy clothing on. And try to get that on video as well. It would be amazing to see how well you can recover yourself and get yourself back on board while you are sailing in rough seas and/or travelling at a decent clip. Food for thought. Keep up the good work. I just started a KZbin channel myself, and I am learning a whole lot from you. You are such an extraordinary videographer. Thanks and be safe out there.

Bonaire ... divers paradise. Good to see you’re catching up. Funny I can’t find your AIS on yacht tracker anywhere just to stay current. I’m happy to see some of you venture out into less often covered locations. RAN for example has had a great summer of coverage through Alaska and hitting northern BC. Looking forward to following you south.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

not all of us like to be tracked! :)

Great video Captain Rick, that's one happy bird! Cheer that crew up. When will you meet up with Delos again?

[@86daily]

Bonaire means in French good air. Hence beautiful sky and constant winds. No wonder you could not see the island till you were on top of it. From your shots of it it looked extremely flat. Is it mostly a sand bar? Lots of Love

[@outlaw9232]

Another great video Rick! It must be really something out on the sea for days 100's of miles from any land. I'm a bit sad there was no footage of St. John....I go every year since 2006 and was curious and places you may have visited.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

sorry, we got run out of town by the threat of Hurricane BERYL... turned out to be a non-event, but never know that till after it's gone! :)

Bonaire....aka "Divers Paradise". I have never visited the island but am interested to see what it has to offer on land as well as in the sea.
