Ready for the most peaceful beautiful shallow sail yet? Ready or not, it's go time! We say goodbye to Calabash Bay is search of new waters, and hopefully some FISH.
Turns out, to nobody's surprise, we are terrible at fishing. We're bound to figure it out eventually, but today is not looking like the day.
Sailing through minefields of bomies only a foot or two below the keel has us on edge...only to find ourselves in one the most rolly anchorages yet. hold on to somethin!

Jade, your smile is infectious! I remember watching the boat rebuild. You where so happy to get it on the water!!! You and Brett are a bit of fresh air to this old land lubber!!

[@brucemasters9132]

Thank you, I am vicariously living the best times of my life through your post! Fair Winds and following Seas!

[@jasonpacific5661]

So wonderful to see the flowing synergy between you 2 and your 2 fur persons. Hope you get to do some more underwater diving 🌺

[@SeizeTomorrowToday]

I can't believe it's already been a year since the boat show!!! Time flies when you are having fun!

[@Anonsea17]

Hi Fishing tip : Get the lures further from the boat aka drop out way more line. Like x3-5 times what u currently are letting out. Enjoy the incoming Mahi ;)

[@Alexechan]

Watching your videos and seeing your dogs makes me miss our family dingo. he made it to 17 until he finally took the big sleep. i love living vicariously through you both!

[@theveteran765]

My little Jack Russell just turned 30 and I don't think he'll make it to 31. Sorry about your dog. Next time don't feed them dog food. Feed them cat food. That's why my dog has lived so long!

[@doyoueatrocks]

@@theveteran765 if you feed cats fresh fish scraps, they become mid sized cats.. like to your knee big

[@hamishesslemont3705]

Great episode and love to see the primal “something” in Jade , as she went into Hunter / gatherer mode 😊👍

[@Helvis23]

I watch you folks as I practice guitar. Relaxing and, even though I do not sail, I am learning a few things. It is a lovely dream that you are living.

[@JjrShabadoo]

Great video as always. Could you guys show a map update as you bounce around? I’d love to see which islands you’re visiting and how far you have to sail between stops. Thanks!

[@chrispomfret8592]

Hi Team Eva, just noticed how you could easily improve your reaching speed & boat balance. When you get the chance I think you could set up some snatch blocks on pad eyes as far outboard as possible. The other thing you could do is turn your jib cars into adjustable cars with purchase systems that lead back to the cockpit. This will allow you to get the clew outboard which opens the slot between the main & Genoa leech. That stops back winding to the underside of the mainsail & takes tension off the leech. It will improve your boat speed dramatically and balance of the boat in the upper wind speeds. Happy sailing

[@nash0089]

I had to look up "clew" and I still have no idea what it means. Could you explain it to someone who has never sailed before?

[@arthansen]

I am finally caught up. It has taken me about 2 months and now the waiting for each episode is going to be rough. I have really enjoyed the rebuild and refit but the cruising is really making me jealous. I still have about 2 years before I can retire and take off on my Jeanneau SO440. I am setting her up for extended cruising and your videos are giving me lots of ideas. Keep them coming.

[@gavinozanne4799]

Same here! Just caught up and I'm dreading the wait.

[@rodneythetall8877]

I know two weeks is not considered a long time, but when your watching two young people sail their dreams in the Caribbean one might become concerned for their well-being. As an old fart watching you I got worried. Glad to see you're alright. Sail on!

[@kenelrod4935]

Great video. The part where you're sailing downwind in that beautiful water with the stunning clouds is awesome. Thanks for taking me along on your adventure!

[@operationexploration9831]

This was a fun episode. Watching your channel has made me seriously consider buying a boat and traveling like you guys are doing. PS if you put wet rocks near the fire they could explode. I am not sure about coral but I know you don’t want to put regular rock that has moisture in it in or around a fire

[@nigelappleton2963]

Love watching your adventures. Stick with the hammock, they worked for millions of sailers over hundreds of years.

[@hidesertmusic]

I feel like I’m part of the family in this video. Thanks for taking me along with you.

[@maxvanbeers4548]

I watched all your video's in the span of two days after watching the 'single hand sailing' video and afterwards I honestly had some withdrawal symptoms. So thanks for uploading again. Your videos are briliant! I actualy bought a hurley 700 this week that was neglected for 4 years and you gave me some confidence that I can fix it up and get it sailing again, so thanks for that! Cheers and kind regards from the Netherlands

[@kenholt8297]

you watch all of them in 2 days?!? 🤔 nevermind 🤣

[@brucehartnett8709]

Ahoy! I love yr videos n how U share yr days with Us it's like we're along for the ride! Can't wait to sail into some of the places you've been one day. Kinda like a cruisers guide vlog. Cheers!!!

[@chasitytate6584]

I hope you guys go to the 2023 Boat Show - we can go then!! Our whole family loves watching “The Boat Kids” as we call you. My 4 year old LOVES when you have video of your dives. Absolutely gorgeous images and beautiful spirits. God bless you ❤

[@gv8001]

Guys! Thanks for sharing this beautiful and inspirational message!

[@zgreyling7340]

Such a privilege to be part of the beginning of all your adventures here. Stay happy!!☺😁

[@jeffcossaboon5012]

Sailing Uma has a great video discussing spinnakers, and other sails.

[@xtransam9970]

Thank you for taking time and sharing your amazing sailing videos with us, we love every minute of your awesome lifestyle Wxo

[@steamenginefan100]

Just finished watching all of your videos from the beginning to the latest one, I thoroughly enjoy watching your progress and can’t wait to see many more of your adventures

[@steveelfers3080]

Wonderful to see your adventure after ALL that hard work getting your boat seaworthy!

[@ottobhan725]

You folks are cut from the pioneer cloth spirit. As I follow your channel adventures I am reminded of how ill prepared/experienced you seemed to me. Think about it. A gorgeous full bloom soft hands with nails and accoutrements including numerous modeling calls to a fine compensation career (with all it’s obvious pitfalls and catcalls)… let’s just wonder for some moments at what we’re seeing now??? Stunningly beautiful woman baiting hooks, speaking ‘boat vernacular’, co-managing sails, anchor and tie down duties is so out of the norm! I want to commend you and the sterling Captain man together. Awesome, tho worn out by Pop nuts society, is the best word to describe my appreciation of you both through this ad-sucky medium. Like a Prince and Princess eloping you manifest a love and ambition that wishes we could emulate in this or a following life. Kudos to you dos wonders, Otto knows these dreams. Thx

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Safe travels! ❤️

[@mikebarron5805]

Brett & Jade, this one is exceptionally & beautifully Well Done. 💚 IMHO, easily one of your top 10 best yet, in all respects. 👍👍 And now, as the imagery campfire in my head fades slowly in the background... Best wishes from the Northern Gulf of Mexico. 🙏🙋‍♂️

[@austinmoseley16]

I was straight up searching the web worried something happened to y’all, happy to see another videos

[@mikewilliams4499]

Oh my, with such shallow water I would be nervous. The sea looked fantastic.

[@J-dizzle2021]

You 2 are so awesome together!!! You guys always make me smile and happy for you!!! Stay safe and keep rocking it out!!! You both do such a great job with the videos!!! CHEERS!!!

[@craigmarson6917]

The two of you are such a lovely couple.😃And your videos always make me smile. Thank you.

[@sibtainraza8673]

Got to know you channel just yesterday in shorts but already loVing the chemistry of u both and you both look so cute together. Hope to see many more from u all

[@dickey5556]

You should always troll 2 lines and stagger them a few yards apart in length so they run different distance behind the boat .

[@yahyadervis4706]

Thanks guys

[@martijnvanbeek4387]

Great video on the ocean, calm and serene!

[@seenospeakno]

You guys rock.

[@BohemianBeatster]

Love following your 'Day in the Life' sailing adventures.

[@rebeccagilstrap3507]

I have so many questions for y’all!! Like, what do you do at night? Do you anchor or switch shifts? Are you ever afraid? How do your dogs deal with the limited space? Are they couch potatoes? How often do you go to land? Is Mr. Evans intentionally long haired or does he let it grow for convenience only to get it shaved off and start again? Have either of y’all gotten sea sick? How long does it take your body to correct when you hit land or there not that much movement most of the time? I’m right there with y’all. I hope y’all have the best experience ever and I’m so thankful y’all share with us!!❤️❤️

[@jkn8705]

I don't know if you've mentioned this in previous videos, but I'd love to know how y'all learned to sail. It always looked so complicated to me, but the 2 of you make it look easy! Thoroughly enjoying your videos! ❤️

[@Dude_Slick]

Great news about the boat show. My wife and I wanted to go in 2020 but they canceled it over Covid. So as soon as tickets for 2021 came available we booked. My whole house was hit with the flu. I held out hope of recovery right up to the day we were to leave, but we didn't make it. This year they can cut me off at the knees, and I'll walk the show on my nubs. Thanks for the code, and see you guys there.

[@ExpeditionEvans]

We can't wait to see you there!

[@Tscaperock]

Good for you guys! What a wonderful life you get to live. Enjoy life that is what it is about.

[@Mantae123]

We are living aboard on Lake Michigan right now until we can join you guys in the Bahamas next summer. We are having the same problem with our depth gauge, make sure you tried scrubbing the transducer with a Brillo pad to ensure that there is no anti foul sticking to it. The copper in the paint can screw things up. You can order a kayak depth gauge from Amazon for like $70 that you can at least dangle over the bow when anchoring.

[@tybach3829]

Our depth sounder started to work intermittently during our recent summer sailing trip. Our first few phone calls to the manufacturer failed to identify the problem other than ‘your transducer is shot and you need a new one.’ Facing back orders and supply chain issues that would see a new transducer arrive in October (not the best time to cruise in British Columbia!) and facing the prospect of missing the beauty of sailing the Gulf Islands in the summer, we started calling around to find a sounder that would get us through the next few weeks. That until one of the stores suggested we pour antifreeze or mineral oil in the in the in-hull transducer ‘tank’ . The depth sounder immediately worked again! Vacation was preserved and the cost of replacing the transducer avoided! The shallow depths of the Bahamas must be nerve-racking - where we sail, depths are thousands of feet and anchoring in 70 or more feet of water is not uncommon. Love your youthful enthusiasm and sense of adventure, and the dogs of course! We too to sail with two big dogs. How do you keep your boat so clean and free of sand….our pups are dirty and messy🤪🤪🤪

[@beverly7526]

Hi Jane Brett You are in Guatemala Boat is being repaired Have you thought of painting a picture on the bottom of your boat?? Now that you are back inspired to paint draw It would look amazing Just thought of it while you were pressure washing the bottom

[@dwk5234]

Beautiful photography and storytelling, thanks for taking us along with you!

[@marileecassidy7393]

Love you four! The hand line reminds me of weed whacker line. Makes me want to take some out of my spool and give it a try🎣

[@projectfamilywalkabout9234]

Excited to see all the boat tours!!

[@bwflnz5310]

Handlines is the way to go we have been catching lots of fish from 1.5m Mahi Mahi and up to 1.5m yellowfin tuna 80kg. No need for the reels to expensive.

[@perryburgess2894]

Beach fires are food for the soul:)

[@robinsmith9734]

Primal-Scream comes to mind, shallow waters run dry, would love to look after your dogs, miss my Black Labrador, "Chappat", of 16 years. I let her Genes do the talking. But the distance from NZ, is a bit, over the Equator, and round the bay of........! And so the song goes! Great vid you two/four.............Clear Waters.

[@deansturm1590]

That looks like fun , and it is Beautiful.

[@deansturm1590]

I have really enjoyed y’all’s trip,My father an a good friend sailed to the Virgin Islands an loved it.

Good luck.

[@MrGman559]

Great videos. Love the vibe and joy you all have. Look forward to watching more as they come. Keep up the great work.

[@kenshores9900]

Sailing down wind will have no heeling effects. Now if you fall off either port or starboard then begin reaching. Further you far off the more you reach and beat. Sailing down wind is the fastest one can sail. The canvas can do miracles. I am envious.

[@johnlawrence7268]

Sorry. Sailing downwind is generally one of the slowest points of sail.

[@swatsullivan]

What an idyllic beach (except the stickers). Happy sailing!

[@LostOnVesselEarth]

Hey guys! Was just thinking in this video you had mentioned sailing upwind, you heel over quite a bit. Just FYI, in case you didn’t already know, when this happens all you have to do is let your sails out a bit more and you will stop heeling over so much. It’s good to know on those days you just can’t take it anymore. Or you have to cook or any situation where the heeling is just unbearable. Great video. Have fun, wish we could make it to Annapolis, one day fo sho! Have a great weekend! ❤️ Nikki & Bobby

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Great video guys. Loved the sailing and the nice fire on the beach. Take care and have a great weekend.

[@josephdeak2257]

It was nice to have met both of you at the Annapolis boat show last year. Looking forward to seeing both of you this year stay safe love your channel.

[@yardarm5]

B roll for the win 🏅 Your canine crew are obviously fun 🤩

[@duanemiller5606]

In regards to your depth gauge one swim under the boat see if somethings may be blocking it. If that’s not the case I said it’s intermittent I’d say look for a loose connection. it could be a sneaky loose connection at one of the ends of the wire that wouldn’t necessarily show especially with heat shrink. This is really check that is using a testing probe with a lightbulb in it. All right it might actually be a diode but you get the point you connect it to one end and then you connect it to another and you see if there’s current going through when the light shines. These kind of probes coming to basic styles one has two blunt ends you just touch to each point see if the light shines the other is a clip on one end of a wire that goes to it looks similar to an ice pic with the light built into the handle so that if you stick the tip of your probe into a wire or touch it to another connection you can tell if there’s continuity if the light shines. An ohmmeter would also work. Just checked for resistance if there’s a little resistance you got a good connection if it’s infinite in resistance you got an open circuit but you probably already know this. Good luck in tracking down your problem.

[@jeffalexander544]

Need deeper waters. Thank you for another great vlog! ⛵️⚓️🐟

[@WSallai]

Started viewing your vlogs about three weeks ago in order, including the shorts, and have caught up completely. Looking forward to new posts.

[@mikaally8111]

I am so inspired

[@tedmccullen7466]

Awesome show thank you!

[@steveroberts9817]

Consider adding a paravane - Excellent for trawling and able to set depth and leaps out of water when fish on (cheap too)

[@naokiando8589]

Thank you for your Greate video. I wach sometime at weekend. Im looking forward to whch your video . I will sail around the world about 10 years later. See you 10 yers later.

[@nigeldlm]

We always use oil on our wood it soaks in better underneath and dosnt really need scraped off or just smoothed with a wee rub with wire wool ...

Good to see you 2 are back we missed you

[@aliciageorge6873]

Yaay! I've missed you two!

[@garrettsadventure]

Haha I use a onewheel to get around when I’m sailing too

[@gregbaskin7795]

When crossing a shallow bank it's dangerous to use auto pilot and plotter. The safest course is hand steering with a lookout. I've sailed that area and there are bonnies very close to the surface. Love your vids.

[@nathaniel2257]

Sorry, only just caught this ep. Pennyroyal, or, pennyrile, is a pink flower considered a Ground cover weed; however it drives away things like flees and no-see-um.. blackflies. They used it in the black plague

Hammock,smart move. On the boat use bungee cords that are based on the weight of the person.. remember always lay across the hammock

[@jaysweeney2032]

If you get a chance check out Brook and Gary sailing on Onelife. Gary has a great set up for catching Mahi-Mahi I never seen a set up like theirs but it works.

[@robg1883]

Hello Evan's When you get a minute or two can you update your Amazon Wish List? Everything you currently have listed was done in early Dec. of 2021. So we don't know how current the need is. Love your videos! Thanks for taking the time to shoot and edit them. Las Vegas, NV. 🌴⛵

[@kenshores9900]

Let out on your main sheet to reduce the heel. You will have to do multiple tacks to achieve your course.

[@krisk9987]

Made my day to see you.

[@peetky8645]

FYI - bungie cords are the most common cause of serious eye injuries in the western world. always wear eye protection when stretching out the cords.

[@seanrice1222]
