Too hot to handle - Icelandic Edition 😂 [EP 208]

[@michaelcaraway2305]

I love seeing your child like excitement when you see wildlife. It's so refreshing to know it still exists.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

This year there has been large numbers of whales and dolphins of all sorts off the Welsh coast of the UK... Even the deepest diving species of beaked whales.

[@Steve-Debs]

Khiara thanks for the giggle, “ I can see it’s skin” Adam thanks for the great drone shots.

[@TheOlandex]

You guys just make me smile. Literally the whole time I'm watching your video I'm smiling. I think that's a gift.

[@RoyClare]

Been in your virtual crew since forever. Thanks for sharing your adventures so beautifully throughout, and especially now. These recent vlogs are award-winning in every respect. 🎉 🥇 😊

[@sietuuba]

Despite the conspicuous lack of puffins, a perfect video! Thank you for sharing the experience.

[@caromarco6315]

What an incredibly beautiful place! And the whales were just a bonus!

[@nick.caffrey]

I love the joy you seem to feel in nature! Also you seem so light, like you are fully perceiving everything, not trying to translate it. Keep going, you two, you are special.

[@eucmaninshorts]

To move your cars while under sail, Adam, attach a line from your toe rail to the headsail clew. Make it taught. Slack the sheet, transferring the clew to the new line. Adjust your car then take up on the sheet. Remove the toe rail-to-clew line. We keep a length of 3/8" 3 strand with a snap shackle on one end in the cockpit just for this. You can use the lazy sheet for this, too, but that takes a few more steps.

[@geraldtribbe6363]

Once you get past the Icelandic conditions, the raw beauty of that part of the world is simply amazing.

[@johnbosworth777]

Milly looks amazingly at home against the backdrop of the mountains. What privilege to experience nature so up close and personal.....thanks for sharing.

[@08Barclay]

Lovely views and camera work, you two! Iceland looks amazing! 👍🏻❤️

[@Neilhuny]

This whole Iceland series is absolutely top class, perfect video

[@Neilhuny]

Mind you, we didn't have a yadder yadder yadder ooh, puffin yadder yadder yadder moment. Perhaps some of the best sailing video ever made!❤❤

[@ronaldcolby4100]

Beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing. Such memories you two are making.

[@haffih6241]

Love it when you talk Icelandic, 😅

[@HeyMichaelLeo]

21:20 I think it's a squirrel 😂

[@thomasthornton5737]

Drinking game rules: Drink when you say fjord, chug when you say Marina or bay 😂

[@ianscott3180]

Awesome, in the real meaning of the word ❤.

[@larrymacaluso9051]

The natural beauty of nature can never be captured on film IMHO, but you two are doing a great job of describing what's in front of you and all around. What a wonderful site to see land as it's been for centuries, untouched and perhaps some unexplored. Thank you for sharing.

[@KevCampbell]

We just returned from a cruise around Iceland, and can’t wait to return. Such a stunning land, and such wonderful people. Loving your travels there.

[@brian7261]

You Guys didn't pick-up a can of anti-kelp spray, sold at all fine stores in Iceland... 😅 kidding. Another great vid, beautiful footage, thanks 😊 PS; you forgot Mr. Bubble(s)🫧for the hot spring 😳

[@eliciahalterman1961]

Looks awesome & to see the whales too, amazing!!

[@stevespell9634]

Thanks guys, I’d forgotten just how hot. 🤭. Fair play. 😍

[@Sailor_Greg]

Amazing, beautiful place! I could just watch the land going by for an hour.

[@pgh1973]

You two always give us a good laugh in the films, one way or the other 🙂

[@foonyor]

Favourite episode so far - amazing scenery, and really top quality camera work. Bravo!

[@thesophiagibson]

Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us. We have watched every episode over the past few months. and feel like we are on your crew. Love your energy, openness and warmth. We'll done you two

[@jamesvickers3689]

Great to see you having a good time.

[@davidmedley5970]

Love the adventure. The drone footage is amazing. Safe sailing.

[@erichyney6287]

Thank you. God bless....😊😊😊😊

[@ian-c.01]

It's great to see your excitement and enthusiasm and also to see how much fun you are having but you are kind of making me nervous because I'm half expecting to see some really bad cold weather sweep over you ! Hope you get away before the cold sets in properly !

[@chrismalkin4070]

Great video. Love your enthusiasm and excitement. Very well edited.

[@chrislgriffiths]

Brilliant, guys, just brilliant; well done indeed.

[@richmeister1960]

Thank you for sharing.🙂

[@martinross5496]

Thank you for taking us along with you on your adventures. You both are so amazing and fun to spend time with!

[@danjones4748]

I have seen fog spilling out of valley. It is an awe inspiring sight.

[@SBoots29]

Stunning scenery. You both are so lucky to be there and enjoy. Thank you for taking me there with your great camera work. Cheers

[@JCAJCA3]

You guys when you're old and gray will look back and think "oh what a life i have lived".

[@DebbieBarwick]

What you guys are doing is so special, thank you xx

[@richb313]

Just happy to see you two are still doing well and enjoying yourselves.

[@Early8Q]

I was thinking about when you were boat hunting in Florida, and then you found Millie….. and then here you are now. What a wonderful journey! And then you said it too! Fantastic!

[@leehoffman3604]

Thank you very much for your beautiful videos and your excitement and laughter. It is so nice to watch such a loving couple enjoy life.

[@mikeh720]

Have to ask Adam, why are you always rowing "backwards"? I always understood that it's more efficient to pull yourself than it is to push. I have, of course, only rowed boats designed for rowing, not a dinghy.

[@jpdj2715]

Watching a few older episodes because of the algorithm and it's still as much fun as the first time. This brought up the question, how did you experience, post-Hydrovane-installation, not having to be at the helm and finicky course/wind adjustments all the time? Especially on the long crossings.

[@rickk3658]

You seem to be enjoying the best local Icelandic beer.

[@tristanthedestroyer]

Ahh!! Mr Clippy!! If you know, you know 😉

[@trevhedges]

Fjord 🍻! Playing your drinking game 😂

[@anthonyexton7243]

Great place ,, think you mist cloud fog earlier going over the hill 😎

[@qksmith]

this is by far the coolest series you have done, a brilliant adventure.

[@nonaparker564]

An absolutely amazing video ….loved the wildlife in the waters ….once again loved the laughter x

[@MrFroglips69]

An amazing episode, so groovy. You two are so lucky.

[@ronprince1478]

You’ve got to have fog, if there was no fog where would the trolls hide?

[@floathi]

You two are the real deal!!!!

[@MCallsen]

Amazing landscape and waters :3 You 3 seem to be able to adapt to anything the sea throws at you ^^

[@richardnorthover8995]

Hi Both, time for an upgrade to a moveable snatch block with swiveling quick release shackle for easy toe rail sheet angle adjustment. BTW you are doing a great job.

[@howardwhite9773]

Justice or not, your videos are most enjoyable. Many thanks.

[@TTM-GEB]

Yes - Awsome place... We were on a cruise there last month. But your up close and personal experiences are such a treat to watch. Thank you so much!!!

[@tomriley5790]

Love watching these videos of Iceland! Brings back lots of memories of a trip I did driving a 4x4 around the coast years ago (sticking as close as I could to the coastline) I remember going past that hotspring! Definitely remember the fijords being much bigger than you might think - that 20mile deep one would have meant a 40 mile drive :-)! The whale was a humpback, no interest in rudders - only Krill :-)!

[@jaymacpherson8167]

Great shots of the humpback whale! 😃

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

The scenery and the whales are just amazing. What a trip. However, while Iceland keeps on commercial whaling, I won't be visiting.

[@PaulBKal]

We have no jib cars, ie zero, nil nada on a 47’ boat with 55’ masthead rig flying a 135% 57m2 genoa but get on just fine with very simple 4:1 “handy billy” purchase downhaul arrangements using reasonably light Ronstan blocks, 8mm line and Wichard soft blocks to capture the sheet. From the winch, the sheet goes aft around a large turning block and out through the lifelines to the headsail clew. Between the turning block and clew, we put the soft block over/around the sheet and simply haul down to a pad eye or stanchion base on the rail and cleat off to a horn cleat near the cockpit winches. Even with half the headie furled in there’s not that much weight on the line that the 4:1 can’t be hauled in by hand. Very simple solution that for once on a boat, didn’t cost much. The same handy billy can be used for all sorts of things, from lifting the outboard on board to barber hauling spinnaker sheets and dragging the boom way off centre at anchor. Don’t make the mistake of buying blocks with clam cleats built into them as we did initially, they’re really hard to get uncleated and you have to leave the cockpit to do so. The specific blocks are RF40500 & RF40510 or RF40200 & RF40210. The second set are side by side double blocks that will pull closer together, but twist the line more easily and are much dearer. The part numbers ending with a 10 have a becket to anchor the line to. It’s also worth buying a spare becket pin or two (RF41010) as these sometimes go missing. The Wichard soft block is likely MXLEvo 12 Part no 21105 for 12mm sheet. Buy two of everything as you WILL want one on both sides and you find yourselves using them all the time! What I really love is that it’s so easy to always have your headie setting right, especially when reaching when the leach otherwise falls off at the top.

[@jonathanscott550]

Epic video beautiful Icelandic scenery WoW!! I don't know how long ago this video was taken, but I guess the season is close to an end in Iceland as winter's on the door step. Looking forward to next video cheers

[@mattmeiners985]

Love your show...

[@bryangoldthorpe8906]

Great episode ❤

[@moebeing1190]

Hot pools are art, Did you guys get your body temp way up , and then run for the cold water and see if you can " get there" , loving the cold water cooling down the body for some time. Spend 3,4, or 5 hours playing with this idea next time, if you're so lucky to have cool-cold water close by. That looked like the spot.

[@johnburgess5534]

You have perforated side rails. Block with a shackle will fit anywhere along this rail to give you infinite leads for fore sails. Capt John

[@gordieconnelly5844]

try setting your blocks for full Jib and add two snatch blocks forward for shorting sail that when you need to change attach the lee side to the snatch block and than tack

[@carltontweedle5724]

I think Iceland is the most interesting place on Earth. Volcanos hot springs glaciers. WOW.

[@jonunya3128]

I like the music at 3:39.. fits the scene really well

[@simonmaton]

Love your work! XXX :-)

[@joelpeterman7046]

Thank You Both!!

[@MikeLoveBuns]

Enjoy video this week! Mike from Missouri

[@affboy-ft1lh]

She is quite lovely but Adam is brainy and capable and calm. Guy is quite knowledgeable and like his engineering skills.

[@faenorsjewel5618]

* pounds fists on table * MORE SHIRTLESS ADAM! MORE SHIRTLESS ADAM! MORE! SHIRTLESS! ADAM!

[@davidnormandin5428]

Seals and walrus are the only aquatic animal that needs a bath when it gets out of the water. Don' let it get close enough to jump onboard. lol

[@hedleyjackson5131]

Just a joy to watch

[@damiant5876]

Thanks for sharing your adventures. The vision is spectacular even through the camera. Can only imagine how much better it is in real life. Bugger the pony I won't even be able to "Cart Horse" it up to get there unfortunately but watching this is better than nothing. Cheers and keep having fun.

[@darrencoile]

Fjord-SKÁL!(hic) I’m fine🥴

[@scubaseas1]

@2:30 , When I moved up to Maine I stopped using my Mantus because roll bar anchors have this problem with kelp. False sense of security as you think you're dug in but it's just the kelp holding you. Anchors like Delta, Excel and Spade work much better in heavy kelp and not as much cleanup also. Excellent videos. Stay dry and warm. And avoid the fermented 6 gill shark at all costs. Now jumbuck pizza...

[@EnriqueDeQuesada101]

It was great kids!!

[@maxxmartini]

Never stop and ever make it to Dominical, Costa Rica look me up...

[@billjeffery2419]

GREAT VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR ADVENTURES

[@Scottish_Kiwi]

Are you guys going head to Scotland and do the West coast, if not, you'll be missing out, such a wonderful place.

[@mort-u1n]

Love you guys

[@daveyoung3880]

Look into what's called a snatch block. You will probably need 4 the allow the line to be removed and then transfer it to the other without moving the block. It actually opens

[@jerrymacvaldosta]

Amazing video and photo's . Not possible from the land, Thanks

[@DAWGnROADIE]

Amazing.

[@yachtlaina1304]

How much kelp that WAS on the seabed....all on the anchor now

[@stephen6378]

Great video

[@nickbenfell4327]

Does anyone else notice how the black label on Khiara's beanie moves around?

[@jorgeaguiar959]

Cool views, keep up the good work!

[@csjrogerson2377]

That must be 104F, ie 40C. What is hot about that? My swimming pool is 35C. The hot water in a house is set to 60C. I was once on top of a running boiler box in a steam driven ship and it was 160F/71C for quite some time. That was hot.

[@terrytomlinson8772]

I've been watching the Midshipmen boat reviews - what is your Kraken grade?

[@rboston33]

Love your videos

[@bobbates7343]

You should try to get on with some of the off road auto's . They are a big thing in that nation

[@lynkkillby4360]

Come to Newfoundland Canada

[@RonaldJHElzenga]

👍🤩🥵😅⛰️🐳🦭❤thank you..

[@drcandor]

Ahh the beauty of Iceland, thnx 👏. . . :>/

[@MartialLoreNZ]

And Iceland is about to resume whaling... : ( I'm disappointed that my extended family's nation is not more enlightened. Imagine if Iceland were a whale safe haven, and how much it could earn from providing tourists more opportunity to experience such wildlife encounters (like my home country New Zealand.)

[@herberthahn6964]

Hi, was the music from blu hole AUS ? My drink is still full.
