WE DECIDED TO KEEP SAILING! ... but our skills are corroded 😂 ⛵️ | EE 157

[@michellereynolds6290]

So great to see you all back on the water for a nice little "relaxing" sail! lol😉Wow, you really had to overcome a lot of struggles in this one. Made me realize how much I miss your sailing content, but I'm sure you'll be back at it in no time. Great video and hugs to the pups!

[@peterosler9521]

Get two buckets, put some weight in each and hang them over the sides midships and lower them a meter or so below the water. They will act as dampers and stop some of the rolling! Cheers Peter.

[@guymorris7860]

I've heard of people setting the boom out at 90° and tying it. Then, use a halyard to the dinghy lifting eyes off the end of the boom and winch down a little to stabilise the boat.

[@RebelCowboysRVs]

Cereal boxes. The cardboard used in cereal boxes an other food boxes, are great to make those gaskets out of. Open the box up, set it on the part an tap it with a hammer. The shape of the part will mark the cardboard so you can cut it out. Rub some rubber gasket stuff on it if you have it, but it works fine without it.

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

This!

[@Najitaka]

The irony that Brett said "i.e. us" when quoting the sign about the rich visiting and Jade laughs, then not being able to buy many groceries in the store. I also like it when you show repairing your boat in glamorous places like the French Riviera, as we all know, boats are a hole in the water that you throw money and time into. Glad to see you sailing again, though I am also anxious to see the new top completed.

[@brian26x]

You just need to tighten the leech cords on your sails until the leech stops luffing. For the rolling while at anchor, tie a line to your anchor rhode about 1 1/2 boat lengths from your bow, then wrap the line around a stern cleat and tighten until the bow is pointed into the waves

[@stdujer]

Since you've already come such a long way and are so captivated by the Mediterranean, you absolutely should sail to the Croatian coast. With so many islands and anchorages to explore, it's an experience you simply can't afford to miss. I believe you would love it so much, you might not want to leave. You are great. I wish you a good wind at your back.

[@luckybeanzphoto]

I spent 3 years sailing and living aboard in the med. Do yourself a favor and invest in a Fortress anchor to use as a stern anchor, they are super light and easy to set and take out in the dinghy. I use mine on a short chain and then rope rode, can even take it out on SUP. Also in the med it is worth adding a fender to indicate that you have it out, as I am sure you are finding, many boats will try anchor on top of you.

[@nick.caffrey]

Good piece of advice!

[@md4449go]

The one thing I have learned about a lot of some KZbinrs in general. They never acknowledge or ever listen to advice of wiser professionals.

[@Tomm9y]

I use one too, they look too simple, but they work, handy for keeping close to a beach/in a tight anchorage.

[@philc1234567]

Was only checking this afternoon to see if you’d posted recently. I’ve missed the updates. Really lovely to see you guys sailing again!

[@philipborken4328]

Hi Brett and Jade, gotta say ‘Hi’ and add that I JUST discovered your channel and am addicted, and live vicariously through you and your expeditions. I’m certainly not as courageous as either of you; not much of a sailor or flyer, but get around on the occasional winter and spring break. Will probably catch up to 2024 in a few more weeks, but want to share my enthusiasm for you and send my best wishes from MSP. Cheers!!!

[@dustoff1472]

Great wind and thank you for wearing your vests. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing

[@craig1lengyel]

You said in the beginning that "there are a lot of very nice boats around". I think your boat is very nice and I am a fisherman and power boater who does not sail. Usually if I encounter a sailboat I get yelled at for not giving way. Now I have a new appreciation for this sailing stuff. As long as I can troll that beats burning 80 gallons of fuel a trip! Thanks for sharing!

[@stevecrombie5357]

Really really really good to see you out on the water again. I know you have had a marvelous time in Barcelona and I don't blame you for that. Have fun and I can't wait to see where your adventure takes you next.

[@margewilma]

I've been to the French Riviera twice unfortunately not on a sailboat. But I do recommend making sure you spend time exploring the area around Nice.

[@Sharon-hn9wn]

It’s so great to see you guys having such a great time out there. It’s beautiful! 🤩Big hugs for Penny and Dingo. 🤗🤗Thanks for another scenic video. ❤❤

[@stevennaar7464]

As a former long-time cruiser and a retired video producer, I just have to say, you guys are my favorite channel on KZbin. Your editing and content is superb. When I watch content and never think about sound, edits, lighting, or shadows, you have succeeded in producing a quality product above and beyond the top 99% of content. Not only are you the best sailing channel, but just the best channel, period finished, the end. Parlay Revival is a close second sailing wise. You bring me right back emotionally to long passages, deserted islands, and exotic travels. You made me miss the beautiful mindset of sailing. One day, I hope to sail again, but a million thanks, and may the breeze always be on your beam. Sincerely Steven D Naar

[@russells737]

@stevenaar7464 I love this channel too. What I can't figure out is how WeSail doesn't have the same viewership. They are a great couple with incredible videography. They are upbeat and exciting. The only thing I can figure is though they are young they are not in their 20's.

[@kurtisgrant4083]

It's good to see you on you tube again, hope the solar arch is going well.

[@dongreer]

My grandfather used to make gaskets from leather. You can use leather tools to cut, shape, and drill holes pretty easily and accurately.

[@AndreRocheleau-o3r]

you had it right the first time! Côte is pronounced 'coat' ! Happy sailing guys..

[@IEnigIMa]

19:10 You guys! You’re bringing out the memories for me. I had a 1978 maroon Triumph Spitfire. I am 6’3” tall but it didn’t matter to me that my head stuck up above the roll bar 😂. What a great trip. Can’t wait to see the new dodger on Eva. ❤.

[@nigelappleton2963]

So glad you guys are back on the water. Really enjoyed this episode.

[@terrymorgan4537]

If you'd like a spectacular view of the sea, take a cab up to the town of Eze and visit the Hotel Chateau de La Chevre d'Or (The Golden Goat). I recommend brunch on the cliffs overlooking EVA, Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, and the pups.

[@Alain.Helstroffer01]

Hi ! Happy to see you again from FRANCE. I remember when you bought your boat and rebuild it. Very good job and a new life for you and your dogs. To fight mosquitoes, you must put between 5 and 10 drops of sandalwood essential oil in your shower gel. and the same in your shampoo. Plus, it smells good. It was a Tahitian woman who gave me the formula. they do it with scented soaps..

[@ajsmith46]

Love that you guys are still sailing :) hang in there!

[@harrybuckler181]

Add some water purifier tablets to the tank's even if they are not bad just to be safe.

[@phillipmcphail8326]

The easy way to set stern anchor is to put it in bow of dingy and back off boat to where you want ind drop it.

[@mykgrauss9872]

Jade and Brett, another great video. I've been a little worried since we haven't seen you for awhile. Glad your back, safe n sound. I've missed you both & Penny n Dingo too! I can't wait to see your new dodger installed and finished. The sails look great! See you soon I hope. Love n hugs to you all, Myk ⛵️⚓️

[@sailingdonna5224]

Oh this video gives us hope! We had so many sleepless nights anchoring on the french coast this summer and now on the spanish coast😭 Tried the stern anchor whenever we had enough space, but now we know its not just us and we just need to sail to different parts 😢of the world😂

[@JSBriggs]

Permatex 51813. Its an anaerobic gasket maker. Its not as thick as RTV, but it never goes bad in the tube so its good for various jobs months apart. Its worth having on board.

[@donaldhoudek2889]

Permatex makes a spray on gasket for emergencies like this. I used to use it a lot on my race car engines. Always worked great! Just to keep onboard

[@pc3250]

Great video, thanks. And Jade for the great explanation (i know not proven medically) about the allergy and the poisons we probably get in our food. For the windlass tripping, i would check all your electrical connections are clean. Also, it usually helps to have the engine running at about 1500 rpm when hauling up. Can you use a winch handle in the top of the capstan on deck to recover by hand?

[@Daniel_Ankerzeit]

Again a fantastic video. Thanks a lot to share it with us and let as be a part of this great adventure.

[@ElephantEarsPress]

Wonderful to see you both back on deck.

[@JeLLoH1000]

I was in Nice this summer for a cruise. I had the worse seasickness around that area and I was fine for most of the trip.

[@lmarcus8697]

Just realized where you are. Ocean liners ride at anchor on the west side of the peninsula of. cap ferret.. Hope you have a good anchor light.

[@thomasgraham5842]

[@TR-ry1xv]

It was fun to see you sailing again. Got me excited for next adventure.

[@dyspepticcurmudgeon4136]

OUTHAUL! You need to pull the outhaul *tight* when reaching or beating. That lets you point higher and go faster, and (nicely) reduces the heel!

[@krisk9987]

Nice to see you sailing again

[@SlurpeeTime]

Have a mango on us. I'm so happy we got to sit and watch this episode finally.

[@ExpeditionEvans]

Thank you!!

[@paulstuart8676]

Brett, you could build a flopper Stopper, or 2, one either side of the boat in the extremes but then you need a pole for either side of the boat. So Brett you need spinnaker poles or adjustable wisker poles. The secret is to have the FS out from the boat, I am guessing about the length of the standard length spinnaker pole for your boat EVA. BTW wisker poles are usually adjustable in length and held in place with various guy sheets for the purpose of trimming your sheet ropes for deep sailing angles, either Genoa, or Spinnakers.

[@alexryan9869]

You can buy trolls of gasket material relatively cheap and different thickness and types. Don’t trust your boat to a cereal box.

[@RichDavis-b4w]

Miss your regular video posts. Hope you keep sharing your adventures.

[@a.s.clifton544]

The few times I was aboard ships, I made sure I had the highest berth in our compartment. That ensured the most rocking, which I loved! While other guys were getting seasick (which is really awful, but as Marines, we still had to give them grief), I would munch a couple of packs of saltines, listen to tapes on a Walkman I won in a poker game (Walkman cassette player, yes, I’m that old), and just let the Sea of Japan rock me to sleep. Good times. 😎

[@OpusXtr]

Just a thought, but for a stern anchor you might consider a danforth, lots of holding for the weight (the one you’ve got looks like a backup for your main anchor.)

[@captainsensible298]

use the deck winch and a line attached to the chain claw on your bridle, I've had to do that a few times.

[@RichardSwinton]

you guys are freekin hilarious together. luv ya and be safe.

[@ctown6971]

Sure looks like a socket fitting on top of windlass for manual cranking.😊

[@chriscross9083]

In your last couple videos I had fallen in love with Spain 😍definitely in my bucket list to visit. I have to ask with all your experience with sailing what would suggest your standard Sailboat or Catamaran for little more stability.

[@lbb101]

Ehm tip: Fruits are typically priced per kilogram (about 2 pounds in freedom units) in France. So the 13 Euros are not per mango but for a couple mangos - somewhere between 4 to 8 mangos depending on their weight. The Côte d'Azur is expensive but .... still.

[@pixiniarts]

Been wondering where you lot got to...! Good to see you back. Gear box facial had me rolling, a couple I knew were doing an oil change on a old Renault she was playing with the pan 'it's like stars', he chipped in with 'really expensive stars' and then she described it as like diamonds, to which he sighed 'might as well be'.😂

[@petternss4854]

Coming from the airplane pilot, "eee yeah, just like a facial. It's OK, almost new"😂😂 I love it 👍💯

[@lmarcus8697]

Why not a stern line to the bow anchor and pull your self in the direction to avoid the swell?

[@gregm.5960]

Forgive me if I am wrong. I seem to remember Duca and Roberta from odd life, visiting France and found a store that sold used boat parts. I thought maybe that might be an option to get a possible replacement for your windlass. IDK Just thought I'd mention it.

I would put my colloidal silver generator in my water tank for thirty minutes and that would usually take care of any bacteria if I haven’t been running my atmospheric water maker to fill my water tanks. You might also add a UV light to your tanks as well.

[@IanGraham-d1c]

I caught that you said the bottom was pretty good but the prop was bad (with fouling). Have you heard of painting your propellor with egg white? It really works. I’m told it’s more effective in Europe with cooler sea temps than in the Caribbean but it’s ok in the Caribbean too. Our boat is in Greece and its prop gets several coats of egg white every Spring.

[@johnbeck2797]

After you set the stern anchor, it looked like you used the windlass to pull the boat forward. I was taught to use the engine to move forward to avoid overtaxing the anchor windlass. I wonder if you're in the habit of using the windlass to move forward without help from the engine.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

You head to the big supermarkets or the road side stalls for local priced products.. 😂 🧙🏻‍♂️ and the farmers Co-ops for wine ..take your own bottles at some .. Swell bridels and flopper stoppers... In those anchorage's. With flash floods in Europe ..theres more chance of trees making it down from long distances making it into the Med.

We were in Cap Ferat for a week last Sept for a wedding at the Grand Hotel Cap Ferat We love the whole area like Menton, Eze, Villfranche sur Mer, and Antibes. Check out the boat store Mall in Antibes. I would ecpect provisioning in Beaulieu-sur-Mer would be expensive. Get on the bus or train to Nice to find cheaper provisions. Or a few stops the other way on the train and a short walk in Monte Carlo to the Casino for provisions. ( The supermarche Casino 🤪 )

[@Madwheels45]

And so this week Expedition Evans and Sailing Uma are stuck up in the anchor locker. Sweet. "No chunks of metal, just shavings" But you may have lost the case hardening of your gears. So they will wear very quickly. You may want to buy a new one like Sailing Parley Revival did. Or just rebuild like Sailing Uma. Or just get a whole new boat like Gone with the Wynns and Ruby Rose 2 or Sailing Doodles. Or just borrow a brand new keeler like Kristina's Travels did.

Hi Jade & Brett, I love your channel and have watched every episode from the beginning. I was recently on your store page, looking at the selection of t-shirts. They are lovely designs, and I will most likely purchase one of each. This may be inappropriate of me, but I have a suggestion for an additional design. I loved the episode in Barcelona at night, where you, Brett, Aiyana, and your mom painted the logo of Penny & Dingo on Eva. In my opinion, that fun logo would make the perfect t-shirt!!
