Best sailing channel on KZbin! We were THERE in this magnificent episode. You both have an impeccable skillset at filming and narration. The video editing is 💯 and you insert music in small doses that is spot on to whatever part of the journey you're highlighting. No other channel that I follow even comes close! I follow about 20 channels too 😊

Greetings from New Jersey, USA. I would just like to say that after only two days, I am addicted to your channel. So satisfying and fascinating to watch, and videos so well-made. You both are awesome. Boating is something I very well could have gotten into, but small boats and me do not get along very well because I get deathly seasick. I was 17 or 18 the last time I was on a small boat for a fishing trip off Cape May. I thought I would be ok. It was a mistake. I'm 52 now. Everything is for a reason. God bless you both and stay safe in your world travels! Cheers! ❤️

A handy way of avoiding bits of the winch falling over the side is to use something like a cardboard box. Cut a hope in the bottom so that the winch sits nicely in the hole. And then if anything does come loose inadvertently it just falls in to the box.
