TOO HOT FOR CREW, IT’S JUST US 2! - Atlantic Crossing Part 3 - Ep 171

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

Ahh the joy of sailing long distances, many hours of boredom combined with some minutes of shear terror.

[@mountainmandale1587]

I've been there for both!

[@joshtvg]

Next time you lose the fish, open the bale and let the line back out. Sometimes, the fish will attack your lure again. Great episode!

[@SailingJibsea]

We were hoping for a second bite, it’s happened before!😆

[@paulorientetheluffaranch]

Wow! Pancakes on a passage. That’s a nice treat. Enjoyed the episode…thanks for sharing.

[@SailingJibsea]

Our pleasure!

[@donaldhoudek2889]

Glad I have a "Live" subscription to the non-government optical satellite imagery, the eastern Atlantic sailing vessels are all crystal clear as there is an abundance of sunshine. Oh look....

[@svendickman1643]

thanks for sharing real life even if you think it might be boring, it's great to help me prepare for what may be in my future.

[@dansiwek3593]

LOVELY! I'm so jelly! What a great passage, this is what I want so bad! Smooth seas and light winds , what a dream! Thanks guys, you two are keeping me following my dream of sailing some day! :)

[@Buses2Bikes]

Holy cow. I've been following your channel for over a year. How do you NOT have 100K+ subscribers by now?

[@peterasacker5948]

LOL....risque....now that cracked me up...

[@SailingJibsea]

🤣

[@Life-Dreaming]

Enjoyed your video, a little cheeky all in fun. Take care & smooth sailing. Wow, two Atlantic crossings, you got to be proud???? Hopefully your folks will visit once you get to the Bahamas (or there abouts). 💙🇺🇸💚👍😇

[@RichardSwinton]

Hi from BC. going for a run through the the mountains in the snow. Love Scotland. Cheers

[@biggooseadventures]

Always a nice video to watch

[@makanimike]

About the sourdough bread and it failing.....Take the time estimates in recipes just as rough guesstimates. Better to just look at the rise. The time changes quite a bit depending on the ambient temps (and also humidity). If it didn't rise enough last time, then just leave it longer.

[@SailingJibsea]

That’s what I’ve come to realize, it’s so hard when we’re moving and the temperature varies on the regular! 😅

[@makanimike]

I bet! Even for me in a house that doesn't move, the difference between winter and summer is huge. Rise times in winter can be up to 50% longer vs summer. And it still takes me a few mediocre attempts to dial it in.

[@robertnixon3816]

Pretty nice passage so far. A little more wind would be good but be careful what you wish for! Those pancakes looked good! Food is indeed the highlite of each day. Sail on!

[@brianfields4479]

we love your videos, and yeh slow is not that good, but you got a beautiful boat, and lady for company, your not at the office 9 to 5, and your not stuck in a wheelchair every day like my wife, so c,mon folks smile and enjoy every day we have on this beautiful planet. Soon you will be in paradise.

[@MehmetYüca-y3f]

Süper very nice video thank you so much

[@TravelonlineWalk]

So Sunny , that remember me on Vacation on Kos island

[@dhill2953]

Love your travels - your videos (and quality) are top notch!

[@MrFroglips69]

Groovy episode.

[@dracey1778]

The Pose lol

[@SailingJibsea]

At the end? 🤣

[@dracey1778]

Yup, absolutely@@SailingJibsea

[@jerrysmith4461]

Interesting that your ongoing dilemma with asym. Vs wing on wing. I have the same conversation with myself every time I fly it.

[@SailingJibsea]

Yep 😅 ends up being a lot of dousing and hoisting

[@KeithGray-xb9pq]

So, you can go wing on wing with your Jib, you can do so with the main & spinnaker. If your pole won't reach the clew, you can put it on the sheet to wing it out to weather. You can also (if your angle is deep enough & apparent wind is light) put your main on the windward side. It will accelerate wind into your kite, giving you increased apparent wind in the sail. Very enjoyable video!

[@TammyBillings-qt1ve]

Great video guys. Enjoying your adventures especially from ON in February. Lol

[@Deadseelife]

Jesus christ, Steph. That thumbnail. 😳 I need to get into shape. 😑

[@markamsterdam539]

Nice video

[@ericmitchell5350]

Safe trip! 😀

[@mikefox1332]

You guys are fun. !!!!!!!!

[@davidnichols147]

Did you find out which boat was on the Horizon?

[@MrOvp]

Putting the main up will help stabilize the boat.

[@SailingJibsea]

Yep! but not when dead down wind and the winds aren’t strong enough for the swell size to keep us stable 🫠

[@MrOvp]

@@SailingJibsea I’ve centered it and flattened the hell out of it. It can dampen the rolling.

[@scottjones5221]

Hopefully you figured out how the spinnaker is chafing 😮

[@SailingJibsea]

We sure hope so!

[@pmacgowan]

Enjoy it while you are still young and beautiful ;-)

[@summerfield858]

Great video as always! How is your power consumption when cruising? Do you have ample power, or do you have to conserve at times? Thanks...

[@SailingJibsea]

On passage we turn things off that don’t need to be on, prioritizing our autopilot and instruments. Trying to balance our boat as much as possible and only turning starlink twice a day for weather and brief communication. Especially when it’s a cloudy day

[@roelofcoertze9453]

Let's play a game: How to have a successful sailing channel? Aaaand go!

[@SailingFearKnot]

Great video …. Question … I don’t see you talk about navigation much …. What do you do as far as ship log, logging your position etc.? What’s your contingency plan when your electronics fail? Just curious

[@SailingJibsea]

We have several devices that we log our position. We also have paper charts in the event every device were to fail

[@SailingFearKnot]

@@SailingJibsea be safe!!!!!!

[@DeanColegate]

Hi guys...how come you didn't stop in Cape Verde?

[@SailingJibsea]

We didn’t have a need to

[@martyflannigan5052]

if it's warm enough you don't need any clothes no one is around, just don't get sun burned.

[@dougfitch3649]

Is that a taffrail log you are dragging? Is it tied into the SOG/STW (ie Boat speed) display? I laughed aloud with the somersaulting comment. Haha.

[@SailingJibsea]

it’s just a line we put out for an emergency in case someone falls in there’s a small chance of something to try to catch onto

[@SantiagoPATube]

Could be a little sea sickness. I know sometimes I get super drowsy, not really sick though.

[@rossprentice4975]

One knot = one nautical mile per hour

[@ji8044]

Clearly you lift regularly. How do you manage to do that on a boat?

[@phillippearce9680]

👍

they say they like it that way. Then - Kirkland Signature Daily Facial Towelettes

[@fredericthum4020]

what do you use for internet?

[@SailingJibsea]

Starlink

[@carlcantrell4781]

Get some really long oars and a drum.

[@andreflavell3453]

when i’m under way i only use hand lines .

[@jimwilson4876]

U guys have an OF fans?

[@paulklebaum1682]

Ahh come on Steph! How about pleasing instead of teasing?😻❤️

[@RichardSwinton]

needless to say i would rather have seen the other crew member baring a little. ha ha sorry

[@faircompetition1203]

Wrong cut of spin for dead downwind

[@SailingJibsea]

We weren’t dead down. We always kept the wind on a broad

[@squatch1464]

Not sure which is more boring, the sailing, or watching this video.

[@SailingJibsea]

Not sure what’s more pointless, the comment or the rudeness.

[@grancitodos7318]

No such thing as a knot per hour, it is like saying mile per hour per hour, a knot is a nautical mile per hour.

[@ericmitchell5350]

Knots per hour is a measure of acceleration-if they were going 6.1knots and accelerating at 2.2 knots per hour, after 3 hours, they would be going 12.7knots….they’d have to ditch more than their bathing suits to go that fast in their Hunter 😮

[@SailingJibsea]

haha highest we've ever gone was 11 its in her and that felt FAST!

[@43bobbyg]

1 knot per hour = 1.15 miles per hour approximately I amariner ocean going

[@grancitodos7318]

@@43bobbyg You are talking about one knot, a knot per hour is not used, as ericmichell said, it is a unit of acceleration.

[@boataxe4605]

And two knots are what came loose from her string bikini.

[@thomasgriffith2953]

I wouldn't make it ... this video makes me sea-sick just watching it! 🤢 lol!!!

[@SailingJibsea]

Wait til you see the rest of the way!!🥴😆
