If We Don't Get This Right We'll Be Sailing BACKWARDS! NYC by Sailing Catamaran

We are finally back in the water after a long few weeks dealing with our shipping insurance claim and it feels so good, even if the weather is less than ideal! We head to New York City and through the infamous Hells Gate. Come with us as we do our best to get the perfect conditions on our sailing catamaran in a waterway that is known to be very dangerous!

17:16 "Just got to anchor better than them" haha, fair enough.

[@craig1lengyel]

I really love your boat and I don't even sail. But I like the concept of cats and not healing over like a mono hull! Thank you for sharing and hope all the boat repairs went well!

[@chhindz]

Often heard people unscathed, don't think I ever heard someone say they were scathed.

[@JosePedroEspinosa]

Guys, with that rain, you two just missed the opportunity to sail a catamaran down Fifth Avenue!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rickcreel3657]

When Captain Sully landed in the river with the Airbus the rescue ferry boats should have pushed on the tail of the airplane so that it reached the bank of the river. I know that the NYFD would have known what to do and the current is less near the bank.

[@timhardman4764]

Loved the pace of this Vlog with interesting dialog and great videography....you guys have got this down! So happy to see you have your boat back after the shipping repairs.

[@lotusdolphin]

What beautiful view of New York. Have to be honest with you guys. It made me pucker you guys going underneath the bridge. You guys are so cute 🥰. Sending love from California.🤟🏻💜🐬⛵️😎🇺🇸

[@MarkSnop]

Why don't you guys, and the dog too, have on your inflatable life jackets? Just wondering.

[@RedwonMactamhais]

No The Statue of Liberty is definitely not in New Jersey. There is a Statue of Liberty State Park in New Jersey. Perhaps you saw this online and became confused? But the Statue of Liberty is on Liberty Island which is technically neither owned by NY or NJ. It is one if the Federally owned Islands is run by the Federal Park Service just like Ellis Island. But though a Mutual Pact Agreement made between the states of New York and New Jersey a very long time ago, Liberty Island, Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty fall into the territorial jurisdiction of the State of New York in New York Bay.

[@steverichardson2627]

Hey Billy, saw you modeling in the Landsend online Catalogue. Very handsome dude. Sierra, are you going to be next?

[@ALittleCLAIREification]

What a great way to see NYC - thanks for taking us along!! xo

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

You've just got to anchor better than them. Billy's advice to live by. 😅 Sierra, you look so cute in your orange and black. 🎃 Thank you for sharing.

[@grizzle251]

I am so happy for you two, you are deffinately living the dream. Thank you for sharing your experiences on KZbin and for being a positive influence all the time.

[@christophernoto]

Congratulations on persevering through a tough time and some very challenging circumstances! ❤❤❤

[@kcsunnyone]

Dang too many long commercials 😮

[@waltsailing2009]

Nice video! Depending on the mast height, you can do the great South Bay and the ny state boat channel. You can at least go in to a few of the inlets. We did the loop around li a few years ago and did the great south bays, it’s a sailing adventure place that most never go. It’s crazy shallow, but it can be done. Incidentally, the solution to the UN closures, which we had during the day, is to to go at night. We put up a video of this, food for thought should you want to go that week in the future.

[@davidshafer1872]

Okay, this is a nit pick, but whatever. Part of Liberty Island belongs to New Jersey. The part that matters because it has the gift shop on it. The rest of Liberty Island is an enclave of New York which both the states of New York and New Jersey agreed to in the 1800s. This agreement gave New York the island and a handful of other islands in exchange for New Jersey getting her piers back. Hat tip to CGP Gray for the education on this topic. See the video entitled "Who Owns the Statue of Liberty?"

[@stephenoshaughnessy2279]

Remember when you guys bought the $100 fishing boat in Oakland, CA. As you probably know, a lot of piracy and theft is now taking place in Oakland harbor. Docking a small boat anywhere around NYC seems sketchy.

[@susanl435]

Next time, you might anchor at Sandy Hook or Atlantic Highlands. Sandy Hook is where Tania Aebi anchored the night before completing her circumnavigation.

[@MichaelBean-h1s]

Jetty makes me smile. Spinnaker included. Sorry I wasn’t able to get to Annapolis, having to work sucks. Keep up the great videos! 💗

[@cmoreoverland6739]

The Sound was my home water. North Shore of LI in Cold Spring Harbor / Oyster bay. Woot, Woot! Best place to learn to sail, waterski and fish for blues...Oh, and the cherrystones are to die for.

[@garagestuff9653]

In Texas you can pull 2 separate ( vehicles, boats, trailers etc.) behind your vehicle only in daylight. Have you ever pulled 2 behind your truck? I like riding around with you.

[@ionecuff6323]

I think the most beautiful scenery you have ever shown was when you two sailed through the inlets & Prince William Sound(?) areas on the west coast of Canada. I don't like cities PERIOD. I much prefer all the natural beauty in nature.

[@cmoreoverland6739]

Super fun. Cruising under the Brooklyn Bridge, past Miss Liberty and into Sheepheads Bay makes me long for home. Recently a land lubber on the City shore just where you were. Love it.

[@paulfrillici2398]

Loved seeing Penfield lighthouse😊 my childhood stomping grounds!

[@PN_48]

Greetings from sunny Grenada! Looking forward to doing the same trip through NYC next summer👍

[@caseymerritt5525]

Enjoyed when rebuilding on a budget. Don't care about you buying or sailing a new boat. I unsubscribed today. Thank you for your previous videos.

[@patreilly4293]

Another great video. I grew up sailing and boating on the Great South Bay and I suspect we know many of the same places!

[@36offshore]

Don't know how you guys can stand boating in that miserable cold damp weather! Thats when I use to put mine in storage, thank God I moved to Florida 😁

[@Mars_Life_and_Beings]

I'm from Westbrook, CT which has the most number of boats per capita of any town in the world. Mostly due to Pilots Point Marina and the smaller boats used in the Sound. In other words, lost of small pleasure craft.

[@weavingthruthewash]

Wtf!! The Statue of Liberty is not in New York???? Mind blown 🤯 thats for that fun fact

[@dahveed284]

Great news. I'm glad to see you sailing again. And I agree with your point about staying out of city's. Too many people. And this is good information because I'm planning on sailing north next spring/summer. Where did you anchor after passing through the city? Any suggestions for places to visit in the sound?

[@Supanova70]

Just binging your vids playing catch up. Did you guys eat at Boca oyster bar? also Captains cove next port west is a great time. we go there alot from my home port in Port Jeff. Also you passed my fathers tug boat company on the way to hells gate great shots guys... Safe travels...

[@tony6261]

Great video, I have an app called Marine Traffic, but in a search for Seawind does not show your vessel, do you have an AIS transponder?

[@seawench555]

Jeddy is so gorgeous, such a sweet soul. Thanks for sharing this journey, very informative and fun. I now ill never see NY in the person, so this is awesome, Boats looking fabulous, be safe and enjoy life. 💞🌈🌞🐕🐶

[@ElleKendra]

Billy is so funny with his love and appreciation of whatever food is set in front of him. Makes me laugh every time.

[@annaherlinger6316]

I prefer the city from the water also, and I live on Long Island LOL! Sorry we missed seeing you in Annapolis!

[@Sommers234]

I saw your beautiful seawind at the annapolis show. And then I saw the two of you scooting along the dock. Big smiles with a mission in mind. Looking good sporting beautiful tans.

[@clairepapadatos1116]

Ps But why isn't Jetty wearing a doggy life jacket?

[@dspatchin]

New Yorkers HATE that lady liberty is in NJ.

[@susanl435]

Who told you the story about the United Nations building? The story is not true! I've been past the United Nations building on the East River a dozen or more times.

[@jabjab1010]

I thought the main point of catamarans is being able to inside in foul weather!! LOL. Safe travels.

[@kennethpole2439]

FWIW I have a number of friends in the Big Apple who refere to it as Hell's Gate.

[@Tom_fromMySpace]

The Statue of Liberty is in the border of New Jersey but is actually cut out to be part of New York. It has a New York address as well.

[@andrewjones3606]

In the winter, how do you keep the boat warm inside when sailing, Is it your Aircon/heatpump that provides you with heat

[@bobjones8864]

Thanks, it’s the only way I would care to see NYC. I grew up in a city and hate them.

[@cliffart7398]

so you publish on October 19 to tell use you will be at the Annapolis boat show. the sail boat show ended the 15th. so what boat show are you going to be at?

[@williamtaylor9025]

I agree about cities. They’re best avoided if possible.

[@clairepapadatos1116]

Stop at 0.39 Why are there no windscreen wipers on a boat? You can't see a thing when it's raining 🤔

[@MarinePigVa]

Passed you guys at in a tent right as the show opened Friday by Compromise Street. Good to see ya there. Happy Sailing.

[@WaterfrontJustin]

I just realized it's Jetty on the spinnaker that's awesome

[@jenateer2518]

I have never sailed in my life. So please explain why you keep changing sails and would you ever use all your sails at once??

[@conradlogan5201]

My first transit of Hellsgate was about 1974 aboard a 90’yawl (Gitana IV). Quite the memorable experience Just add some Gershwin/Copeland for added flavor ! Thanks for bringing us all along!

[@Drew-C-]

Its so crazy, I just happened to be on the New Jersey side by statue of liberty on the same day you were there. The rain was on a Thursday and I was there on Friday. Bet you went right by me

[@timlyons5320]

Y'all REALLY like to say SCREECHER !!!!!!!

[@joesphbest3120]

Good seeing you three today.😜❤❤👍🐕💑🌹🌹🌹

[@djwilliams4714]

Egg sandwich? We call them bacon egg and cheese 😂. On a bagel, I usually use toast!

[@francescasabbatino7287]

We hauled a 19 foot flat bottom boat across 42nd Street… bets part, no one turned to look, as if it was just a normal thing to do 😂

[@christ.8547]

so refreshing to see u2... many blessings...💙.

[@jstjohn04011]

Missed you guys in Annapolis, but I did get to check out your sweet new cat!

[@dexterplameras3249]

The bridge in your thumbnail is one of the inspirations of the Sydney Harbour Bridge; pretty fitting considering your on a Aussie Sailboat 😊

[@MichaelRhodes-w3k]

Love watching your vlogs, as even when things are not going to well, you seem happy and spread the joy. Looking forward to the next one. Xx

[@RoscoeCreel]

if your going though hells...gate keep boating

[@nickweiss-el2ni]

good trip, I Grue up in Whitestone all my young boating there. The tide splits between the throgs neck and Whitestone bridges. one day Maby we will meet on the water. I did most of the same boating in the early 1990.main to Bahamas. we will be in the Bahamas on the hook for three months. Janie D is our boat. Be safe.

[@martinbowers852]

you guys are cool couple, glad sailing up the river is way cool, have fun guys

[@Janespony]

Sorry I missed you guys at the show. I did see your boat, Nice!

[@michaelbrannan4864]

Nice sailing movie Billy Sierra and jetty girl

[@kennypool]

I grew up a few blocks away from the hellsgate, i used to run along the river side. And the hellsgate waters looked treacherous.

[@lisa.fernandez]

Astoria park 80’s fun!

[@Weyni77]

Wow, I'm new to this channel... What a treat!

[@rickcreel3657]

use the outrigger as the dingy love the outrigger

[@bryanmitchell5790]

Glad you guys are back on the boat, and you’re right that’s the best way to see New York is from the bay

[@RogerM2404]

Great vid, as always...brought back memories of going thru Hell Gate with some friends in a 19' Bayliner. A smooth ride down the Hudson from Tarrytown, then all HELL broke loose. Never saw such confused waves. Took one over the bow, much to the dismay of Rick and Ann. But an amazing adventure, South Street Seaport, Statue of Liberty. Going past Yankee Stadium on day when message board announced, "Today Tom Seaver goes for his 300th win". Good stuff. Also, when i lived, worked in CT would always check out that boatyard when i drove past, to see what was up on the hard. Would see some serious ocean going ships. Best part about Bridgeport is the Port Jeff ferry and Captains Cove for a plate of clams. Both of you in the foul weather gear, lol.......where did all the muscles go??

[@mlsims10]

Billy- what was the worst part of towing the Whaler ?

[@kleinbiker1]

The boat show already happened though.

[@kdub7641]

I’ve just spent the last 3 summers on my formula 34PC at Atlantique every weekend as a new boater. Been watch you guys for 2 months, didn’t even realize Billy was from right here! I’m in Bay Shore. Boat in West islip, and Fire Island is Long Islands crown jewel. 💎 Gotta BS about Long Island a bit. Im a little older than you guys, at 48, but watching you guys sail is fascinating. Billy is one salty skipper. Great teamwork. Tonight I’m watching the Hells Gate episode. That water way is no joke! I want to make the run from the GSB to The Statue of liberty 🗽!! Where did you lifeguard? Ocean beach, or a smaller community?

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Atlantique 😉

[@tom519az]

I hope boat repair is done better than any RV repair I’ve seen.

[@MrDuckmallard]

who's driving the boat?

[@jeffw.6821]

May you find fair winds and followings seas.

[@juliazentner681]

I really enjoyed this one..

[@dallasmitchell2484]

Yall are awesome yalls boat is badass!!!

[@mikeanderson1330]

Great trip. Wondering where you guys were in relation to the nasty wx out there. Anchoring looks way easier than with Adrenaline. Good workout weighing anchor but must be a relief to be able to have a power windlass.

[@TOMMYTANKERB32]

Best way to see the city....agreed

[@davidgriffin14]

Sierra looks so cute in her glasses.

[@dcallan812]

I stayed with friends in Pennsylvania and drove up to NYC for a few days. I live in a small sea side town in the UK, so seeing the skyline at about 13:20ish just brings back so many memory's. Thanks for a blast from the past. 2x . 👍

[@diane8885]

I grew up in New Hyde Park!

[@stevecrane4325]

Remember it is Hell Gate, no s on Hell.

[@andrewruble7706]

I have cruised by the Statue of Liberty a couple times and it always a great view plus the city skyline. I agree that is the best way of seeing the city!! Thanks for sharing.

[@michaelblythe9739]

Great video, love the Grundens

[@80884bpresley]

Awesome video guys! See ya next time.

[@rickcreel3657]
