Yes! Great format!

I agree very good format

[@meadowsbbqkitchen1970]

Honestly, this KZbin channel straight up is the best I've ever followed and proud to be one of your first followers. I know better when you say you suck , you know Who You Are and that's just being real people living a dream. You don't have to be perfect at it. Thank you, GBU!

[@LiftRanger]

It's your personalities and the chemistry between you two that makes GBU my favorite channel. Keep up the great work!

You guys don’t need to make any excuses for your videos they are great. You guys really tell a great story and try to be as real as you can with out showing to much ! Please keep it up, love the videos !

[@toddabrahamsson1797]

Please don’t lose perspective, you guys are really doing such a great job ! I have been in the boat business my whole life now own a 40’ J Boat and hope to see you both in the Caribbean. Keep up the great videos and keep up with your honesty and no BS in front of the camera.

Hey guys! There was a question about your success giving you big heads. Your answer to that question was why I love to watch you channel. You are honest, down to earth, don't propolitical or social agenda, you are hard working, funny and entraining. You guys are adventurous and were unafraid to tackle remodeling the Double D. Keep it up.

[@treasuretravelers5558]

You guys have put together the best channel, you should do these Q & A’s more often! Thanks for being my go to sailing channel.

I like your channel because, as I'm sure others have mentioned, you are genuinely pleasant and down-to-earth. And that you don't put rose petals on everything, if something doesn't go your way or doesn't turn out the way you planned, you don't hide it away, and that you take it mostly in a good mood. and I like your sense of humor. It would be fun to get a glimpse of what your production is like and a blooper episode. Have a nice day will see you in the next episode😊

[@ylemoine1]

Love the honest answers to some crazy questions. I couldn’t stop smiling throughout the vlog. You’re a beautiful couple and you don’t need a license to prove you’re committed to each other, have kids, or buy rings 😉. Keep it real. Fair winds and see you next week.

[@brucecarothers441]

You guys are the cutest couple! You really hit on the right formula with this Q&A--I loved that you took us around the sights as you answered questions, rather than just sitting on your couch the whole time. I look forward to spending more time with you two.

[@WW-on6bo]

I used to watch sailing channels and quit 3 years ago. My mom died a month ago and I haven’t left my home since. The last thing I wanted to see was a sailing video, for some reason the algorithm suggested you guys refit video and for some reason I clicked on it and I haven’t stoped. I sailed every place you guys have been and that’s nic, but what really warmed my heart is you two and how you are approaching your young lives together. Blessings to you. Thank you for making me feel less lonely with my grief.❤❤🙏

[@jeffkettler4712]

My Sunday morning is not complete with out watching you guys. Love what you do, it looks natural and unscripted which for me is priceless. Thanks guys for keeping it real!

That thumbnail!! Gulp... let's be honest for many of us it was the thumbnails that originally attracted us to the channel... but what keeps us here, and I subscribed at under 10k, is the sheer fun and enthusiasm you both bring, especially Matt's comments and random nonsense! The fact you kept viewing figures so high during the refit without a bikini in sight proves that.

[@mikeraymond9088]

I love the spontaneous joking and the laughter with you two. I wish you all that you wish yourselves.

You guys are the real deal which is why your channel is so great!

[@sailingman7709]

Matt, I admire your refusal to get an anchor winless… i’ve been sailing for over 30 years and have also refused or simply have not felt the need for one… However, if I may suggest for your own comfort… You don’t have to necessarily use a full chain rode, you can shorten your chain to 10 feet and even less …. And you can also use a smaller chain size which will be much lighter to haul-up and a lot easier on your hands and your back… another option is to use your heavy chain rode only in rocky or rather iffy anchorages and use your lighter rode the rest of the time which would probably be more than 90% of the time… LIVE SLOW AND SAIL FAST ! Capt. Bill Fleming Fajardo, PR

[@jimbetzing3587]

You two are the "real deal"! Your videography has really come a long way and the content itself is wonderful! Really looking forward to following along on your next adventure.

[@johnmayer3433]

I generally concur with your attitude towards windlasses acted like you for twenty years. But then came this morning after a stormy night when my SQR anchor had buried itself half a meter into the clay bottom (after lifting it the whole shaft and a little bit of chain were still covered with clay) and I had to work literally for hours, I was underway single handed, to get the anchor up, completely exhausted. Very late I got the idea of attaching a rope around the chain and leading it back to a sheet winch and that worked out great. But after that event I purchased a used manual windless that really serves me well. Think about it.

[@ibismpm3655]

It was great to hear about your decision to do the You Tube thing. Back in Key West you tried a few things, like the comedy skits and they were entertaining but not a solid long-term format. I assume you just started shooting videos and then put them together. Whatever it was, the format you have now just works. Its real, honest and entertaining. Sailing GBU is the only sailing channel my wife will watch. She says she feels included and like you are talking to us and not the camera. Thanks for sharing your adventure. BTW: You were going to do a long-term review of your dingy. Looks like it has held up well.

If you measure life by the price tag of everything then Sailing GBU is pretty insignificant. If you measure life by the character and personality of the people you meet then this channel is one of the best. So don't beat yourselves up about your videos, you've got everything that's important.

[@thesailingrode1817]

I always makes me nervous watching you two ride on the stand up scooter together. My wife and I did the same thing for a couple years as it was a great compact solution to keep on the boat. Then one night in Key West while going walking speed, we hit a rough spot in the road and we were on the ground before we knew it. No helmets. My wife's eyebrow was gone, 20 stitches , I had a big bump on the head. Sold the scooter immediately. It seems safe at slow speeds but from a standing position it is almost impossible to catch yourself before you hit the ground. We were very lucky that it was not worse. The emergency room doc did a great job and her eyebrow grew back beautifully.

[@benduckx9367]

Matt and Kristen. Great video, thanks for sharing your lives. One nit-pick that bothers me concerning safety. A captain on another sailing channel also threw caution to the wind as the two of you often do. He also had an electric bike and never wore a helmet. On one of his stopovers, he was scooting down a street and hit a road rut and went down face-first into the road. In your vid today, you were cruising down the road and ran over an object that jolted your bike. Sadly, neither of you was wearing a helmet and it could have ended in tragedy. The fellow that fell is still on the mend after several months and does not have full use of his hands. He may well have had a concussion. In any event, you may want to be a bit more cautious and at least wear helmets. Stay safe, not sorry.

[@merlinbroaddus]

OMG! Matt!!! I haven't heard that phrase since I was in the Air Force. A ring won't block no hole!! And that's true!!! It comes down to TRUST, and after watching as long as I have, you two TRUST each other, deeply!!! THANK YOU for showing other men that IT CAN BE DONE!!!!
