I'm so happy you guys have that roller furler now, it's great in those situations! Such a relaxing video with the wave sounds. 🤗💞

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Us too! 😍😍😍

[@robertbiron]

Wow this was a multi adventure episode and so exciting, it's a fishing show, it's a sailing show, it's a storm chasers show lol I'm exhausted. Great loved it.

[@sherlockholmes6990]

Cooking show too.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Hahaha! Now you know how we feel 🤣😂

[@deborahdoyle6743]

Amazing you got him onboard.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

We were stunned that he ended up in the boat. 😳

[@vickiwoelfel5689]

You guys are so special. You are courageous and skilled. Your faithful little sailboat brings tears to my eyes. Thankful you all 3 are safe. Blessings ❤️

[@BeauAndBrandy]

You’re so sweet! Thank you 😘

[@michaelrobinson8915]

I only have Good days and better days. Almost never a bad day

[@Lunadoglokicat]

“Just when you make it thru, the storm finds you”. That is the best metaphor to describe life in general. ❤

[@claybornlewis276]

I totally understand the lightning thing... Especially when you're out in the middle of the ocean. With a 40' lightning pole sticking out of the middle of your house. Make A good reason to be nervous My dear..... I remember the last time you guys had a scare that the boat was going down... What's the big hole in your boat.... You guys hang in there you don't do fine the lord's looking out for ya'.....

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thank you!! We have been pretty fortunate in our journeys so we will always be grateful!

[@wadeshore]

I watched this episode with headphones on and the sounds were spectacular along with the always beautiful video

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thank you so much! We really work on making sure the sound is as good as we can get it 🤗

[@hookednrolling2009]

Landing that bull almost made freedom. I would have been crying if fell back in. Good job Beau not losing him a lot of meals and yes taco Tuesday too. JT Hooked N ROLLING OFFSHORE.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Oh we would have been crying the rest of the way to Guatemala!

[@johnmagnan759]

Like I always use to say "a shitty day at sea beats a good day at work every time."

[@BeauAndBrandy]

EXACTLY!! (but I wouldn't mind if lightning wasn't a THING. hahaha.

[@paulhellewell9468]

Two factors contribute to the cogency of this saying. The first is that weather systems generally travel from west to east in the mid latitudes. Because the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, a rising sun in advance of an approaching weather system would illuminate the approaching mid- and high-level clouds to create a red sky in the morning. Alternatively, if the sun is setting as a weather system exits and high pressure is building, then the departing clouds would be illuminated. This would create a red sky at night with fair weather to follow.

[@donaldbrown9437]

Lots of excitement 😮

[@Building_Bluebird]

There was so much going on during this episode. Wow. You really captured all the moods from excited to inspired to nervous. Well done! I'm amazed you got that big Mahi in the boat.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

The most epic fish save ever!

[@milanomaker]

You are two brave souls

[@jasonrarick4649]

Beau that was some excellent freestyle unhooked fish wrangling there. Multifissimo- Unlike the one sailing guest girl let the one being prepped for supper slip over the edge into the patiently waiting shark. 😔 I just told that story when you were noodling under that rock and above you was a circling she - shark. I say he not at risk of being bitten shark doesn't have arms its waiting for another hunter to catch something. I still see that fish plop over the edge.

[@SVBingo]

Damn! That's definitely the biggest Mahi Mahi you've caught 🏆.. crayzee thunderstorms 😮. Well done on another successful sail.... loved the episode

[@BeauAndBrandy]

THANKS! Seriously can’t believe we actually got it in the boat!

[@SVBingo]

@BeauAndBrandy yea, that was a luck.! I thought you'd lost it. Well done, you guys have become real good fisherman

[@HANZELVANDERLAAY]

Just incredible the camera work..and the editing....soo cool...enjoy ur travels

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks so much we appreciate it!! 🤩

[@mikep8058]

Glad to see you guys again. Hope all is well. You missed a wicked storm

[@BeauAndBrandy]

It was a doozy for sure!

[@jorgegorina8358]

Nice catch guys. Glad u guys made it safe. You guys really need to get a hard top for more protection from the weather. Do we see a Project coming?

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Yes we do 🤣😂😫

[@Baylessfishes]

What a save at 6:30ish.

[@jefflloyd394]

Always good, thanks guys. Valkyrie III (Pearson 35)

[@paulhellewell9468]

Depends how much celantro is mixed with tomatoes, more tomatoes and lime, lessens the strength of the celantro.

[@bunnygoil]

awesome imagery of the cargo ship, so neat to see the massive wake it creates. and i lol'd at beau's face when brandy asks "what's the recipe for that" he's like.... um... camera's rolling lemme say something in response here 🤣

[@BeauAndBrandy]

He never follows recipes 😂🤣

[@TammyBillings-qt1ve]

What an amazing catch.

[@somadevo]

Whew!!! Good job sailors.

[@SMOKEitUP42O]

How long will you be staying there? Your videos from last time there were great...going now to watch them again 😂😎

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Well at the moment it seems like forever 😂 but hopefully until Jan

[@christip20]

Wow! That was exciting, Beau was determined to keep him though! I was holding my breath and never realized it until I was gasping! I think it’s the biggest one I’ve ever seen, that probably filled the ice box and you guy’s have meals for over a week!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

This big boy could last us weeks! Still can’t believe how big he was!

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Great video guys. Glad you made it into Guatemala safe and sound. Good catch on the mahi, Beau. Have a great week you two.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

What an amazing sail it was. Quite the adventure!!

[@thebirdlady4304]

7:16 thats insane !! 😮

[@24hourtravellers]

I wanna catch a Mahi toooooooo wow!!!! Squalls and lightning ⚡⚡⚡🌩️ 🌩️🌩️🌩️ common on the equator here in Malaysia too during the South West monsoon 😅

[@donlindell1994]

And in the midst of our trials, the Guatemalan Dolphin Navy arrived just in time to accompany us toward the coast with joyful fanfare which provided a renewed sense of comfort and purpose to our journey.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Lol!! YES!! That GFN pod was amazing 🤩

[@laurierodriguez1432]

Wow...I felt like I was with you...alllll the emotions✌️💙

[@jmsubtley1310]

Oh my god it’s Kenny 😂

[@mrsmithdaddy]

I love seeing you guys share these experiences together! I'm inspired yet again. :)

[@robertabarry7675]

I'm glad you are both safe it looked very scary and rough, I don't like lightning, so on the water it would be unsettling, to say the least. Take care of yourselves ❤.

[@travelingdoggs]

Love you guys. Getting my boat ready and hoping to run into y'all someday!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Let’s GOOOO!! See you out here!

[@californiakayaker]

I remember that first trip and the ending and it did the same thing to you ! I hate lightning, especially if your under way and can't unhook your electronic gear.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

YES! this corner of Honduras loves to throw out Lightning storms

[@brevardfencecompany]

The save is real😂

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Seriously!! can’t believe it made it in the boat, but we sure are happy it did!

[@mikestevens9455]

Get Talos lightning detector, it might help relieve some worries. FYI some passagemakers leave port when 30 kts predicted, get a grip your boat can handle it.

[@MonkPetite]

It’s lighting around you. That’s good. Deep water below you that’s even better. As long you move and your boat is damp on the outside it’s no worries about getting struck. All the BS lighting preventers are no use to any boat. Static electrical charge build must dissipate to be equal to the surroundings. Rolling thunder as you experienced is horizontal discharge. 95 % of thunder and lightning is horizontal. Deeper water is less likely to take on a strike. The feeders / leaders will not reach up that far up. Leaders are rising form the Earth upwards to meet a discharge form the cloud.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

This is all so Interesting, thanks for sharing. We love watching it from afar, but when it’s right on top of ya, it’s not fun. 😳

[@richardclarke8585]

Great stuff, you capture the spectrum , thanks from a retired sailor :-)

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed! 😎 it was quite the sail that day!

[@mikesteinacher1450]

Safe and sound I hope

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Yes indeed

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys, wow what a crazy , Beau. was talking about being in the nuddy. I’ll be in the nuddy all the time on the trip so free on the ocean. Enjoy your video from Australia.

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Love you guys! And am always glad to see you catch your own food. Great job, beautiful fish! Safe travels. ❤

[@BeauAndBrandy]

That catch though 😂🤣

[@mikehamilton3833]

Great job guys. Followed the whole trip. Enjoy your adventure.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

We appreciate you following along, and we're glad you enjoyed it! ⛵️

[@bryanb1259]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@hodadyou]

Man, that was some NFL receiver hand work bringer that bad boy in.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

😂🤣

[@MyriahD]

WOW

[@droningaround417]

love ur vids

[@dianne.murielrobidoux9008]

Wow great moves! It's in the boat congratulations you're cooking in stainless 😅 so that mahi is healthier

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Love the stainless! He was tasty

[@deborahdoyle6743]

Great video guys

[@CJ5EVOLUTION]

I was a little worried if you guys were far enough from where the hurracanes that formed in the same route you guys where on.

[@johnveal6401]

Nice mahi!

[@bearitraeb]

12:51 there’s the mate 😂 decided their mate wasn’t worth that

[@saemijonsson2055]

❤❤❤

[@freedomwanderer]

Nice Mahi.

[@2011mendo]

Come on ,, going by Belize,, didn't stop by the Great Blue Hole!!😮

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Well…we had only a short weather window. We plan on visiting 🤗

[@2011mendo]

Copy, can't wait to see your footage from there. Bucket list for most, but, you need to have a boat..

[@seanmolony-redstickastro238]

I’ve always found that people love cilantro or they hate it. No middle ground. Me? I Love It The Mahi Mahi here in Louisiana run a 100 miles off the coast along these kelp beds. It’s crazy to see it. But we just troll the edges and destroy them!!!

[@lindafett1826]

I like fish tacos especially with Cilantro 😋Cilantro does not taste like soap

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Love cilantro, so sad for those that it tastes like soap 😳

[@AlsinoFerreira]

😎

[@garyseven777]

Hey Brandi! You know who I love B & B sailing so trust me when I say- do not take the cover off the knife until you are ready and stable to hand it off. You almost stabbed Beau in the head…if the roll had been harder. Also hold so the handle is presented to Beau not the blade! Love and Hugs 🤗 Gary

[@patrickjames1080]

Made me cringe - that was crazy time - they work so good as a team .

[@BeauAndBrandy]

You’re right!! I was too excited 😆

[@artsmith103]

Was the lure one of those rubber stringy squid type? What color(s)?

[@jpiz224]

Heyyyyyy

[@curtschu]

You guys need to watch some Darizzle fishing videos. The have a much easier way of using the planer.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks for the tip! We'll check them out 👍

[@EvanLoewen]

FIIIIRIISSTSTSTTTT!!!!!

[@tnllifeunedited9165]

🤠👍

[@lyngilbert2589]

How long you in Guatemala for? Beautiful country. Lots to explore.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Until Jan probably

[@Baylessfishes]

Close to 20. For sure. Dang they look heavier. My 14yo caught a 60lb on the scale. I got a 47lb on the same floating pallet outside of jaco, Costa Rica.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Honestly it felt heavier. Wish we had a scale. 46lb!! Heck ya.

[@brassring5524]

WOW...landing that Mahi was so intense when it got off the Gaff and Beau hauled it in by hand beast mode I was super impressed but it sure looked like the Gaff got pretty close to Beau's Back..scary. Oh, the things we do to get food from the Ocean..lol

[@BeauAndBrandy]

It was pure chaos and the fact he ended up on the boat is still a mystery to both of us.

[@hvulin]

the saying about sky color isn't just a saying... sun rises in the east and if the sky is red that means light had to go through particles that filter light (water) and you end up with red sky... since the earth is rotating towards east you are going to go through that particles...

[@thomasthornton5737]

😀😀😀👍👍👍❤❤❤

[@jojoerider5828]

What lures do you use?

[@deandyrr9681]

How the heck do you land a drone while under sail and rocking & rolling that much?

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Many years of video games lol. And then lots of practice while sailing.

[@sv.alannah]

WOW! Nice catch. You guys are going to be eating fish for weeks.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

You better believe it. Mahi in every different way possible!

[@SirAdamMeek]

Am I the only one that says to themselves, "A very strange bird is the Pelican..." every time they see one?

[@BeauAndBrandy]

They are quite strange!

[@SirAdamMeek]

Soap? Someone must have had their mouth washed-out with Zest at some point in life LOL

[@burtisbills1668]

One of the best eating fish you can catch. Good job

[@BeauAndBrandy]

We agree, they are amazing!

[@36offshore]

You need a different tackle set up 😂😂😂

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Tell me about it 😂

[@elvenstars9248]

Cilantro-haters for whom the plant tastes like soap, the issue is genetic. These people have a variation in a group of olfactory-receptor genes that allows them to strongly perceive the soapy-flavored aldehydes in cilantro leaves.

[@budyeddi5814]

Bacon bits taste like soap to me 🧼

[@BeauAndBrandy]

That is interesting. I did not know that.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

WHAT!! Oh no!! That’s awful

[@JonMadsen70]

:)

[@squatch111]

Hey bros, you see any ufo's yet?

[@BeauAndBrandy]

We thought we did a couple of episodes ago lol. But we have seen some weird things out here.

[@SirAdamMeek]

He was a biigie!!

[@natangell8470]

It tastes like soap to 100% of me

[@BeauAndBrandy]

So crazy how the body works.

[@bearitraeb]

Poor baby losing it’s color. Wonder where it’s mate is

[@paulhellewell9468]

I copied that for you out of Scientific American. Always thought there was a scientific explanation for it.

[@SamuelKeala-j7q]

👍❤️🙏🏻god bless
