Sierra’s joy and enthusiasm is so sincere it brought tears to my eyes. Incredible.

[@todddunn945]

One of the most beautiful cruising areas in the world. Great to see it with you.

[@FreedomForce100]

The dog 🐶 is sooo cute! I love Billy and his kind nature. I love Sierra's voice and her soft character. This is such a perfect set of people with a lovely dog 🐕

[@svrufus8979]

I try to be envious of no man but I have certainly fallen short here... Bravo

[@rd9028]

The best way to see it? You guys are the ultimate way to see and live it all!!! Perfect boat for those areas, so blessed 🎉❤

[@jessebradin8992]

Wow! I’ve watch you two from the days of pulling a whaler behind your smaller trawler. Amazing, inspiring, courageous, and down-right bad-ass! The definition of a class act. Thank You❤❤❤

[@Sommers234]

I'm still blown away by the beautiful results of your year-long restoration.

[@michaelphilip3919]

So happy to see how much you enjoyed my home turf 😊

[@MiloYellowknee]

Greetings from BC. Do this kind of boating all the time. Here’s a tip- pay for the floating rope for your shore tie. Loop it to something on shore like a tree. Lots of the spots up there have steel rings on the rock. Yes even that remote. Single point is fine. When you’re done you should be able to untie from your boat and pull it all in from that same spot, with no need to go to shore when you leave. Then all you need to do is break your anchor and you’re golden.

[@johnh.5779]

You guys are rockstars! The passion, hard work and excitement is palpable to the viewers. The scenery all around you guys ain’t bad either, eh?

[@Pcj74049]

I love how these two allow the boat and the adventure to be the focus/star of the episodes but we end up loving them as a loving couple. I hope these two realize they have something special

[@aquatictn]

Astounded you don't have a depth sounder when in unfamiliar waters, they are not expensive or difficult to install. You are brave!

[@clayfan408]

Love your comment "if we'd have waited for all that stuff we'd have never ben here" Like my Snowmobile Buddy always says, "if we wait for the weather, we'll wait forever" Enjoy your West Coast Canada visit and Welcome to Canada!

[@MZderf]

I would never cruise without a depth sounder. At a minimum, maybe a portable fish finder with the transducer hand held over the side or stern. Wowzer.

[@dmack1827]

Thank you for sharing and showing off our beautiful coast. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@patrickfitzgibbon2888]

A couple equally adventurous and equally willing to sacrifice and labor to achieve the next adventure is not only beautiful to watch but extremely rare. The fact that you found each other is a miracle. Most people are, myself included, fortunate to find a genuine good loving companion, but lacking the constant calls to explore. I hope you both thank the forces that be for guiding one another to each other. I haven't watched a video in a while. Honestly, I think since y'all were on the trawler in Fla. Tula? I am happy to see life is providing the means to continue smiling instead of life eventually putting out the youthful fire inside. I was fortunate enough to travel from 18 to 29 before starting a family. Including a trip up the inside passage from Seattle to Sitka on a commercial salmon trawler. Basically got paid to explore sunny southeast. That was actually my last real seat of my pants, no specific plans adventure. Took a bus from Fla to Seattle and somehow got on a salmon boat with no experience. That's unheard of. It was a blast. I hope you both continue this until you decide to finish, whenever that may be. Cheers, family man in Florida.

[@Sushi2735]

Love your boat! Be careful, treacherous water and hazards! Enjoy!

[@richardp1522]

Tula: Greetings from Alberta Canada. Just amazing work on your $1 Trawler looks like a million bucks all the endless sanding and painting and pristine engine room well done. So glad you finally found your bears. Great you enjoyed your visit please come back anytime. Safe travels on your way back south it will be sad to see the trawler sell. But what a perfect project while you wait for the cat delivery. See you next week.

[@WW-sj7zk]

A kind suggestion and a must have: Don & Reanne Douglass “Exploring the West Coast of British Columbia “

[@WW-sj7zk]

This guide is a must have as depths in a lot of these inlets can reach depths of up to 1200 ft within a boat’s length from the shore. Also the tides around here can produce extreme currents and in some places rapids. Knowing this and along with the willewa’s there is a lot to know here to stay safe. ☮️

[@moosenbeans903]

Welcome to the pacific rain north wet west windy. We for the most part get that weather from AK. It is so cute to see people see things that are normal for me.

[@kristianhawkins9856]

We met you guy up in desolation sound we where in the small 22 ft sail boat the viento. Been a fan of the channel ever since

[@mariemorrissey9378]

What a adventure! Yes! Your sweat equity truly paid off!!

[@colbystensland2508]

You guys are really awesome I love the energy and courage to adventure Great inspiration!!!

[@johnnybarbar7435]

Guys, You can buy a $40 to $100 fish locator/depth finder and use it when not going full speed by mounting the transducer on a tube that you can lash or clamp to the rail. There are alkaline battery and 12v options.

[@martinjames9250]

Amazing! All of it. 👍

[@wcgolfpro]

Great times guys !!

[@wcgolfpro]

Your new boat ready heard your selling the trawler?

[@patrickfitzgibbon2888]

Adapt and overcome. With a smile. I love it.

[@daveward2620]

Looks like fun! Sow griz with triplets is a sign of avery good habitat.

[@janheywood]

Wow those bears were awesome…good luck with the sale and can’t wait for the continued adventures 🤗

[@stevefarms7494]

I would never thought you would sell the boat that fast after all the work you all put into it.. I thought you would enjoy the boat for a few years first... But at least you saved the boat and gave it a new life...

[@diverrite]

Wow what an adventure. Congrats the hard work has paid off. I bet it would be sad to sell the boat that brought so much to y'all.

[@rybren6172]

Now imagine if Covid never pushed your delivery date back for your new Cat. You’d of never had this whole experience! Strange of sometimes great things come from a bad circumstance. I enjoy the content, so I’m glad you got to experience it all. Hopefully one day I will as well!

[@rickharris5485]

So awesome.

[@bsanders51]

I have cruised that area with a marginal depth sound. We just used a sounding line which is just a thin line with the weight on the end and I’m not tired every 6 feet to a great way to tell how deep you are. That’s exactly how they all ships used to do it.

[@timgreen4137]

Ingenious tie off in the cove. Remember, if the bears start chasing you, you don't have to run faster than the bear. Just faster than the person you are with.

[@Mrflynlow]

Without a doubt this is my favorite channel. You guys are grea!!

[@Seafariireland]

Well 6done guys, Ute showed the way! Can’t wait to get up there, sometime?

[@johnnyj9531]

Great video thank you both

[@ALittleCLAIREification]

No words - this is all just breathtaking!! xo

[@BeauAndBrandy]

What a specular experience! mama bear and her cubs 🐻🐻🐻 !! yalls faces say it all 😁

[@selahwaylivinthedream7505]

Wow, wow, wow!!! The wild west adventure of a lifetime. We have loves our trips to BC, but this really tops it, you guys. So proud of all you've accomplished - just amazing!!!❤

[@earlsnapp5209]

Well said

[@patience8884]

Y'all should be proud! Seriously! Amazing to have reconditioned Mountain Mist.

[@janzuidam2892]

It's like watching a Sir David Attenborough documentary on National Geographic or so, you guys rock!

[@steveking6204]

Excellent.

[@williamkhatchell620]

Very cool!

[@jillianswaine4298]

Mamma bear with triplets! That’s amazing. 🤎🤎🤎

[@seawench555]

Wow u three, I'm in tears of joy, watching this special incredible adventure of a lifetime, ur lifetime. The beautiful smiles on ur faces were reward enough for me. Well done and always remember u did it yourselves what an achievement. Im sure Mountain Mist is already sold, she's a credit to u both and as I've said a Grand ole Lady. 💙💜

[@mpwoops]

Living a dream. Great job you guys.

[@leebenson4874]

That was the coolest spot ever. Thank you for that. God Bless you two! Wait Three!! Sorry.

[@tomcat58rtc]

Beautiful !!!! And so are you guys.

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

What a lovely place. I am not really into those Arctic waters at all, but it sure is beautiful. You could buy a handheld depth meter, as the ones divers use. SV Delos used such a thing for years, actually going ahead in the dinghy often, before they sailed into very shallow places, and they cost very little. Probably not much more, than you would burn off in diesel in that boat in a couple of days anyway, just to get some perspective.

[@bradpritchett3161]

Just amazing! I love it!

[@bokendrick6553]

my favorite word... FREEDOM!!!

[@josa9902]

Incredible scenery. Thank you for sharing.

[@BehindtheseEyes]

Breath taking Beauty and Adventure....Thank you. Wish you'd keep Trawler, though😢. Best to you sailing forward.

[@timgore1487]

Awesome

[@williamschlorb738]

Great content on the willderness

[@Dan-McG]

Great video. You both are so inspiring. Thank you so much for always making quality content that never fails to motivate me toward my dream of sailing the world.

[@rebeccadunn1690]

Hello from southern Indiana USA!! I totally love watching your channel. Its a joy to see your experiences for every new firsts that you have, they are great!

[@suziq5293]

I just love how adventurous and brave you both are. Loved this adventure! Be safe!

[@TRAVIS-L]

I thought you guys went to Yellowstone and saw bears 🐻 🐻‍❄

[@stephenoshaughnessy2279]

Congrats on having the adventure of a lifetime. The scenery kept reminding me of Norwegian fiords.

[@robbmanchester5747]

This was special - I’m talking top 5 of your episodes ... would love to see the cutting room floor videos linked up in longer episode - Enjoy the Day !!!

[@edgarmuller6652]

Thanks for tanking us along. Good luck on the sale of that yacht that you guys gave a second life. Hope it finds are caring owner as you are.

[@Shotgun-rider]

It sure is beautiful there. It's like your in a whole new world. I seen other u-tubers travel through Canada. But never anyone in a boat. Great job captureing all that beauty guys. Oh I love the drone shots too 😊 Seeing mama bear with her cubs was awesome. That's just one bear I wouldn't want to run into 😆

[@Jeanetteinnes]

Tidal differences are amazing 😮… still so beautiful

[@80884bpresley]

Awesome video guys!!!!

[@donkee120]

you definitely should be sponsored for "Tourism Canada". stunning

[@josephgaydosh7300]

What oh my goodness what about the videos if you sell it are you getting a new boat so that the adventures continue I love watching

[@ElviraDavidova-q2m]

hi my name is Gracie and my sisters name is Evelyn we loved your video thank you .

[@jamesconger8509]

You can get a portable depth sounder for about $30. Look for a fish finder. They also display depth.

[@kenwilson3549]

Fantastic scenes. Thanks for sharing. Just can't believe your selling your boat so soon?

[@lauraaz3015]

Really enjoying watching you two have so much fun! The views are just amazing too!

[@VonBluesman]

Does Jetty have a brush ? It would be cool if she had a Manuel treadmill that could roll up the anchor line on a drum when she runs on the treadmill. LOL 😂 👍🙏😎✌️

[@_billythekid]

The outflow winds and weather up Bute inlet can be pretty fierce. Pretty special spot with not many places to hide.

[@captbobsadventures4420]

I have been following you guys since the beginning, that was one of the best ones yet.....besides your wedding, that I watched live..:)

[@saxbychaplin1112]

Awesome video as always guys, Thats some gorgeous places yall got to experience this trip!!! Take care and enjoy till next week!!!!

[@chrisnielsen4241]

GOOD JOB

[@waderoberts1090]

Truly Badass! Mark Twain. And his name was Sammel Clemmons, and he wrote The adventures of Tom Sawyer. Feel really stupid telling you this,but Mark the twain was how they knew the depth of the water in the Mississippi river. A weight an a rope will tell the depth. And how much for the boat?

[@williamwoolcock]

Your dog is such a great watchdog!

[@irishwoman3975]

Living the dream, love it.

[@starfishsystems]

I live within half a day's slow sail of Desolation Sound. If you want to cruise in this part of the world, you need some accurate means of measuring water depth to at least 10m or thirty feet. YOU DON'T NEED A DEPTH SOUNDER. You do need something that will serve as a lead line. A large shackle tied to a length of cord will do fine until you can get a proper sounding lead. Total cost is nil, and having it may save your vessel and even conceivably your life. Stitch bits of marline or seine twine into the line at 1 metre intervals. (Except in the US, chart depths around the world are marked in metres.) Toss it over the side and feed out the line, feeling the weight pulling it down. You'll feel when it stops pulling. If in doubt, bounce it a bit. Now retrieve the line, counting the marks as you go. How hard was that? Now you accurately know the depth of water at a given position and time.

[@sailingoceanstrider5845]

My dream to do the same one day keep it up maybe we will meet out there one day!

[@tonymiller4744]

Fantastic amazing journey and what a boat. Sorry to see your adventures end on it.

[@MrJerobona]

That was beautiful ! Congratulations!

[@samuelpegg3115]

Great video!!

[@nolemons]

So inspiring. There is a cheap grand banks in Victoria tempting me to follow your example. Seeing you hoisting the old anchor with that huge rock on your finger reminds me of when my wife’s stone fell out of her ring and was miraculously found digging through the garbage. 😅

[@srperk6163]

The switch by the door was so you could turn on a light when entering a dark boat.

[@willay747]

Stunning scenery! This was best video yet! ❤

[@anthonymiller8989]

Tony & Susan here, Fun video , too cute

[@ElainCorrine]

Ok, to be fair, no radar is doable, but in the Pacific Northwest, you REALLY need a depth finder. Rocks can spire up from depth and you won't know w/o a depth finder. You can get by with a relatively inexpensive easy mount fish finder as well, but a dedicated depth finder would be the best option. Other than that, awesome video, and welcome to the PNW, land of liquid sunshine.

[@RIP911sc72]

Hey you two. Have been watching you both since the very beginning. Congratulations on heading up Bute. It is our favourite place in Desolation Sound. Like you we found it difficult to get an anchor set between the very north end and the entrance. Great holding at the top of Bute with lots to explore and totally isolated. We will be going back. Admire your adventurous personalities and drive.

[@williamcollins4344]

That is so awesome. Y'all are awesome. Good for you guys how cool❤❤

[@wjhann4836]

Your areal view of that anchorage looks so crazy. On one side you told, your anchor chain is not enough but from the height the water looks shallow - what is obviously not true.

[@n2091m]

You guys seem to have maybe found a new home. I’ve never seen you guys smile bigger.

[@stevecrombie5357]

Great that you finally saw the bears. I'm so glad you were able to do this journey. I watched the Breaking Waves crew sailing around up here for a couple years. I always thought a power boat would be better for access to some of the places. Just stunning scenery and places to explore. Your hard work paid off.

[@we-can-do]

That was undoubtedly pretty impressive. Good luck to you both in your future adventures.

[@richb313]

You guys are doing great on your own as you are seeing all you wanted to see. If you ever decide to add some electronics go for the depth sounder first one through hull fitting and various models and capabilities to choose from.

[@carljohnson5006]

Another great adventure. 👍 keep it up. I can't wait for the new cat and the next chapter.

[@donpablo2170]

I F'n love this channel. Best thing is Sierra isn't used as click bait in bikini's to get views. We travel vicariously through you two. Thank you.
