I really enjoy your channel. Hands down, the best camera work I have seen! The aerial shots are magnificent! Those drones would be great tools for shark patrolling. Rather than nets that often harm the sharks. Anyway, just wonderful again. You have a FT fan here in GSO, NC!

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Glad you enjoy, thanks for your comment! :)

[@brettkramer]

Whew, was just glad to learn that wasn't Sophisticated Lady who had broken her mooring..

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Nope, not us, but not sure what happened to it

[@jimmyjimmy2075]

When i see this great drone view of Anguilla, believe me Rick i could live there forever, and for that mega yacht is straight from Star Trek!

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Glad you enjoyed, and yes it was quite an unusual ship! :)

[@gregoryhowell]

I love this Channel it relaxes me so much just to watch the awesome videos you post.I love the water and hope someday to be able to buy a boat and live the pirate life.No cares no worries just Good friends,Good food,Good drink and loving life..Keep up the Great work..Be safe and God Bless.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Glad you enjoy, but don't forget there is a lot of work involved to live on a boat... more on that in upcoming episodes! :)

[@FrankGreenway]

Rick, come on your nearly as old as me. we didn't have cellphones growing up. But you're absolutely right about the things we learned to do driving that people today can't imagine. I was driving a tractor at 6-7.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Actually, I had my first car at 17 just after I started my first business, and my first cellphone at 18 installed in same car... at that time it was an Alpine hard wired cellphone built into the dashboard, and even had a horn alert so the car would honk if a call came in while you were away, Lol

[@FrankGreenway]

Maybe you are younger than me. I'm almost 58. Damm I'm old.

[@MrAlley32]

Workin' in paradise is what that is! Good video.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

we all gotta work somewhere, might as well be someplace warm! :)

[@ericperich1240]

That was a Wonderful Video! Outstanding!! You are a Real Pro Rick! Thanks for sharing and a Big Hello to your Crew!!

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks!

Thanks for the amazing scenes...and a FUN bunch of cool people

[@cometjockeydave4041]

That monster at 9:25 is the Earthrace II. Owned and operated by once Sea Shepherd member, and Captain Pete Bethune, It is the replacement for Earthrace later renamed Ady Gil for its time as part of the Sea Shepherd fleet. The Ady Gil sank in Antarctic waters following a collision with a Japanese whaling vessel in January 2010. Bethune and his crew now have a TV show called the Operatives in which they travel the world to address environmental issues that are threatening wildlife, and this boat in the video is their base of operations.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks for info! But I think calling Earthrace being in a collision is a bit soft... more like it was run down by the whaler!

[@SuperMariaone]

Its not Earthrace/Ady Gil. its the Super yacht Adastra a wave piercing trimaran.

[@flamesfromblazer]

@Comet Jockey Dave That's Bogus info , dude - its Adastra

[@donbeckham]

It's worth noting that the look of this boat is not unique. John Shuttleworth designed this one (42.3m) in the video but he was by no means the first to build a boat like this, nor would he be the last. It was launch in 2012. www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/futuristic-trimaran-adastra-launches-in-china--11237 In Aug. of this year Latitude Yachts launched a pair of 53 meter trimarans for a customer in the UAE. that look almost identical to Adastra but have subtle differences. www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/trimaran-superyachts-galaxy-and-galaxy-of-happiness-delivered--30317 The boat that Comet Jockey Dave has mistaken this for is the MV Brigitte Bardot (formerly Gojira and Ocean 7 Adventurer and Cable and Wireless Adventurer). It is 35 m (115 ft) twin diesel engine powered vessel designed by Nigel Irens. Construction of Ocean 7 Adventurer began in June 1997 and she was launched on 16 March 1998. It was originally build to and named Cable and Wireless Adventurer for the purpose of circumnavigating the world in less than 80 days. Sea Shepherd currently owns her.

[@cometjockeydave4041]

flamesfromblazer Oops. You learn something every day. Now's my time.

[@danielroach6190]

Man, that "monster" is cool looking. Looks pretty pricey also.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Yes, I'll bet so! :)

[@sailingxtremeadventures542]

Whoa!! thought there for a minute that Sophisticated Lady had washed up on the rocks but then realised it was click bait instead of fish bait Hmmmmmmm....

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

nope, not us, we're still floating luckily!

[@BrassLock]

+Sailing XtremeAdventures - Yep, I got sucked in by the photo & title. I'm an old fish and should know better 😕

[@MrLikeke]

0:56 This scene is like what I'd draw on my notebooks at school. Of course there is great surf. I'm digging that you've give more air time to the catchy intro melody.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Yes, that is a favourite scene for sure! :)

[@sickjohnson]

Some great shots Capt'n Rick! Hope you get called back to do a video tour of that one Rum plant in Barbados. Cheers

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

yes, could be fun! :)

[@6brettes]

i reckon that futuristic boat had klingons onboard! starship enterprise of anguila!

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Lol!

[@joelibby7739]

Your comment about multitasking while driving: Amen, brother!

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Yes, gotta be able to multitask on a boat! Lol

[@jwrappuhn71]

Awesome vid Rick, keep'em comming Capt.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks, glad you enjoy! :)

[@azphilip1960]

Awesome video as always! Great video! Pleasure watching!!!

[@billypunte]

Capaitan Rick ,watched all so far < Videos > and liked them ALL my small offering THANKS KEEP ROLLING

[@grakirk]

In November 1976, the British band Smokie released their version of "Living Next Door to Alice". The single peaked at number five on the UK Singles Chart[2] and, in March 1977, reached 25 in the United States. It was a number one hit in Austria, Germany, Ireland, The Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland. Smokie collaborated on a parody version(who the f@#k is Alice) in 1995 with comedian Roy 'Chubby' Brown, which peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart, selling almost half a million copies.

[@ZoneTelevision]

Great episode Rick !! . .. I do a fair amount media work myself. . I am seriously thinking of getting into this particular medium with boats. . My primary focus has been motorcycles.. but i think the net is cast to a much larger audience in this medium.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

could be true, anybody can own a motorcycle and operate it, not everyone can live on a sailboat and seems like public curiosity about the lifestyle is increasing

[@ZoneTelevision]

Rick Moore I'm sure as in most cases the enthusiasm runs high in the beginning and there then there is the reality of it all. You're right , yes, most anyone can get on a motorcycle yet after their first crash many leave and never return ... I can see living on a boat poses many challenges not least of which is weather, maintenance collisions etc and just living in small quarters. I never look at anything as a permanent situation Life is a series of temporary situations compiled into an single journey.

[@mazdarx7887]

That tri looks sorta like the same design(but much bigger) the Sea Shepard (being nice) people crashed into the Japanese boat then scuttled

[@Nerd3927]

What you do for work is pretty cool too...

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

It's work, but I enjoy! :)

[@JimFariello]

As always, number one. Love the startup, the film is real good. You amaze me with time. You are a pro for sure. The coffee in the morning , arm chair old man.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks for comments Jim, glad you enjoy! :)

[@JimFariello]

Rick Moore You have a follower for life.

[@mikeferguson2828]

Zthanks for another stunning episode Rick

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Glad you enjoyed, thanks for your comment! :)

[@MrMyvids4you]

Not to long ago, that same futuristic looking boat 9:23 was filmed by an italian youtuber on the mediterranean sea, while he was doing some spearfishing. ( "Darioeolie" video name - Pescasub: Nel blu e tra le rocce )

[@vrccb]

Aaaaaah, lovely. Just what I needed to lift the spirits before going back to mucking the horses out - my bit of paradise for the day. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah. xx

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Glad you enjoyed, thanks for your comment! :)

[@AviatorDark]

@5:30 dealership salesrep be like clean carfax, one owner, perfect condition, low mileage and has all the services done on it and it's ready to go :D

[@bill98465]

beautiful vids. thank you. were these taken after the hurricane? I believe that unusual powerboat has a big history. I believe that when it was first built it was VERY stripped down, porta potty, Colman stove, etc. all the leftover space was full of fuel bladders. I believe it has the record for fastest across Atlantic.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Not sure, but it sure looks like it could hold the record! :)

[@MrCaptbear42]

Another great video,

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks!

[@snowdingo7283]

Jordan is adorable so upbeat cute happy and fun .

[@jacobfreemans8613]

It's amazing what you can do with a housing benefit cheque.I'm expecting one any day now,then its anchors away. Horay.

[@shaunp4trick]

epic!!!!!! did you learn filming by just doing it? or did you go to school/learn from someone? Is filming commercials your main source of income or are you retired from another job?

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

I've just had it as a hobby for 20+ years and kept developing it into something more serious over past 5-6 years.. got better equipment, started working professionally about 4 years ago filming multi-million dollar properties for Sotheby's and others.. and kept making my travel videos along the way! :)

[@Doyle-Nutbush]

The Trimaran is yacht "Adastra"

[@danielroach6190]

That shipwreck is on another video by a different OP here. Wish I could remember who or what. I do remember him saying that it was "lost in a storm" though.

[@jeramssauer9860]

I love all your videos but I always will like more at least on weekend. It is like virtual sailing. Would you please advice me what kind of video camera are you using ? thanks a lot to letting us to share your amazing sailing experience in those so amazing islands

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Get that question a lot so we'll be making an episode to show my choice of cameras soon

[@Burnspot2024]

Always enjoy a new video from the Lady! :D What is the name of that song that's playing from around 2:00; quite the mesmerizing track.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

actually, it's called "Mesmerizing", from SoundCloud, Lol

[@Burnspot2024]

Thanks! Good guess then, lol.

[@HardWayFarms]

Very cool!

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Glad you enjoyed! :)

[@DesertSquid]

Looks like Pinel Island in St Martin.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Yes!

[@mobiltec]

Work... It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it.

[@Ivansgarage]

Nice video work you do Rick, Is there a TV stations in st marten? on line? One more ? what was with the exhaust on the engine water?

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

I'm sure there is, but I have no idea about it, don't watch TV! :) exhaust on the engine water?

[@ravenisracing3719]

Nice to see Nate & Jordyn ?? Are they still with you, confused since I haven't seen them last 5-6 videos.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Yes, sorry I'm messing everyone up with the timeline, but this is the series of our travels down island a few months back from before I went 'real time' as we were running from the storm

[@TBU2012]

great video captain

[@Dromfel]

Great episode :)

[@jonnyw9544]

Love the new intro!

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Glad you enjoyed, and you'll find it at the beginning of all the numbered videos in the series :)

[@brandonevans4142]

great footage!

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks! :)

[@backoff7659]

Rick, you guy's ever get a chance to go metal detecting , and if so, have you found anything worth mentioning ?

[@gogs1468]

Brill, thank

[@robertaderholdt890]

what about that spaceship boat! that is a pretty cool boat but I wouldn't want to try and dock it😂.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

neither would I! Lol

[@ianoliver9307]

Rick Moore

[@mraymus]

What do you guys shoot with? What kind of drone do you have as well?

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Been asked that a lot lately, so we'll have an episode to review my favourite cameras coming up soon! :)

[@baseballDUDE32]

Hmmmmm... I'm thinking its a blast from the past.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Yes, this is the numbered sequence from before we started posting real time during Hurricane Matthew... gotta catch up the two timelines! :)

[@sailingxtremeadventures542]

Good to hear it - quite a few people asking about the saltwater ingress into engine recently - Any updates regarding the cause and solution?

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

I believe we found it, will be in an upcoming episode! :)

[@andrewcrawford4088]

Hahahaha, yes i can identify with your comment about being from an era when one could drink coffee, eat a burger, use the mobile and change gear (use a stick shift) but i got caught as i pulled onto my drive way! what is the African grey called, i didn't see her today? Very uplifting videos especially as we approach our autumn here in the Uk. keep em coming i love your vids.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

African Grey is TIKI, and you'll see her in next episode just released today! :)

[@ve4mm]

hey Rick......do you have AIS? That young couple were always entertaining!

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

no AIS yet, and yes, Nate and Jordan were great onboard! :)

[@brettevans2475]

Videos are fun but your gimbal has a serious roll problem! Can't tell if it's only when panning but you really need to dial that in, maybe check pids

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

That's been an ongoing issue with the Inspire gimbals, have you found a way to correct for it?

[@brettevans2475]

I actually have never flown an Inspire, I fly an s900 with a arris gimbal. I had a very similar and frustrating problem when I had it on one of the follow modes. Not sure how your gimbal controller works but I'd try changing some of the follow settings to see if it helps.

[@therealR.D.]

This is confusing. LOL. We already know Nate and Jordan are gone. And Sasha too, right? But here we are everyone back together again.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

yes, this is back to original timeline from summer when we were headed South... we accumulated tons of footage of the trip but never have time to edit when traveling, so the videos are just starting to coming out again now

[@johnnywilson1616]

that bigun looked sorta like a klingon bird of prey

[@nomobilly]

lucky Dog "i want to be there ,keep up the great vids

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Glad you enjoyed, thanks for your comment! :)

[@niewissen9912]

Good day Rick and family. noticed that that maple leaf is starting to look little faded and worn. Are you able to purchase new ones down there anywheres, or do you need some new ones sent down to you? lol

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Yes, flags where out quickly down here, but we had some new ones arrive finally

[@niewissen9912]

That's good to hear. Was willing to pick up a couple and sent down but guess no need lol

[@alphasxsignal]

[@sm6wet]

Thank you for a Nice video Can you get arrested in St Martin for diving and talking on the phone? That is so stupid... I know some countries here in Europe has outlawed it but only give ticket. Here in Sweden your ok to talk on the phone while driving. Your even allowed to tune the radio while driving.

[@gordon61917]

great vidio

That space ship looking thing was awesome what's that called ?

[@whitecloudgroovin2005]

Thats a first.. I was actually relieved it was click bait.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

I'm surprised, that didn't really cross my mind as the title for me was just what was going on in the video! :)

[@randyvfromtheperch]

Deja vu? Looks like you reuploaded an episode from a couple months ago? Perhaps consider using maps to show your relative location and destination track.

[@urabus7875]

nice

[@6brettes]

prob broke her moorings owner dont know it yet?!!

[@James-pr8tn]

Looked like the boom was gone and the cabin was wide open, so I bet all the gear was stolen. It may not be worth salvaging depending on the severity of hull damage

[@amiedetherese]

Is this pre-hurricane Matthew or post?

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Yes, this is the numbered sequence from before we started posting real time during Hurricane Matthew... gotta catch up the two timelines! :)

[@yeetandskeet]

+Rick Moore u like, copied and pasted the same response

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

if it's the exact same question with exact same answer just saves me some typing time so I can answer more comments! :)

[@HORALE714]

Anyone know what song is playing at 2:20...?

[@R1Kyle]

You boat is flying a Canadian flag. Please Please Please tell me you are not Canadian!

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

of course I'm Canadian, that's not a surprise to anybody, Lol

[@BeachBow]

That click-bait really scared me! Sorry for the folks who own the boat, but glad it wasn't yall!

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

sorry, that wasn't intended, already changed the thumbnail to a different shot

Lucky buggers

[@MrLikeke]

Lots of people refer to luck. But have you ever noticed that these things seem to favor those who work towards it? One might think there is causative relationship between effort and 'luck'.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

yes, you won't have luck if you don't work for it! :)

[@6brettes]

nice sand n water color just like the english chanel not!!!

[@tonyedwards7200]

My life sucks :/

[@andreaslinnet]

Please change you flag. Is not style/fun in the maritime world. And get rid of plants on board. It all makes you look like armatures. Take care and enjoy your great adventure guys!

[@newgtguy]

Click bait! Nice video...lame move...

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

didn't intend that, sorry

[@TheLogneo]

Please change your Flag....

[@TheLogneo]

Ouops Sorry...but i mean change OUR flag because is tears apart...😉....by the way..FANTASTIC video

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

which flag do you mean, the flags are almost new in this video unless there's one I missed somewhere..

[@TheLogneo]

Rick Moore ....ok at the end of the video you do video with small boat and the flag behind you look tears....sorry if i got bad vision...

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

ah, the dinghy flag... yes, that has been replaced since

[@donbeckham]

You definitely got the click bait down!! I like watching your videos but I think you should avoid including your bonehead moves in the final cut... did you forget who has the right of way out there when you are under power? I know you are used having the right of way under sails... but you cut off 2 separate boats and the first would have hit you if he had not changed course. You could tell the couple was not happy with you, and rightfully so. You were completely wrong and put others at risk. Shame on you. Ok, that hurt me more than it hurt you. Go back to having fun and be safe. :)

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

I think you are not paying attention... the two boats are what I was filming, and the couple was my girlfriend and my crew... all part of the extras that we were filming for the commercial that day.

[@donbeckham]

Actually, I did think it looked like Sasha and thought... How many good lookin'' Russian women are on St Martin!! LOL Why did they throw their hands up like, "WTF man?" I knew you were filming them for sure, but I guess I was blinded by how close you were cutting across their bow, AND then Sasha's response. :) You're right... if I would have looked more carefully at the first scene of the group of boats, I would have made the connection. I own a rental company with 20 boats and jet skis and I deal with people doing stuff like that all the time. I guess I am overly sensitive to these things. :)

[@BoomDelaBoom]

Click bate...

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

already changed the thumbnail, sorry for confusion

[@MrDingle77]

I really enjoy your channel. Hands down, the best camera work I have seen! The aerial shots are magnificent! Those drones would be great tools for shark patrolling. Rather than nets that often harm the sharks. Anyway, just wonderful again. You have a FT fan here in GSO, NC!
