We leave Nassau harbour and Philippa gets soaked in choppy waters: Episode 19

[@carlray7224]

Found the recounting of your efforts to obtain the US visa amusing - I'll bet Philippa remembers all the important dates lol! As regards the Maccas "what can I do", just accept the reality of the situation as in nothing & 80% is not a bad score actually. Narration is 'top shelf', very entertaining.

[@douglasburch2320]

I've enjoyed watching all of your videos, though I'm not sure why this video was dubbed with Italian subtitles. God's speed, fair winds and following seas!!

[@SailingAequus]

Thank you Douglas, oh that is strange will look into that..

[@puertola7186]

Looking forward to the new episode!

Thank you Ben

[@wesanderson7918]

New to your channel, absolutely love it. Good job. Safe travels.

[@fortza11]

Fun to follow you guys. I "stumbled" upon you by chance, we are going ourselves and are considering taking a few years out of the calendar and going out sailing. I was wondering, as an "old" sailor, that you never wear a life jacket or have a lifeline around/connected to you.

[@harrysheffield624]

Thank you, you two for sharing this with us . . . very enjoyable, but keep safe and keep a clear head.

[@SailingAequus]

Thank you Harry

[@sarascott2217]

Another great episode I didn't realise you were so far behind in video compared to where you are now x

[@SailingAequus]

We are catching up..Thanks Sara for being here

[@steetonsales1]

Enjoying the vids and as owners of a 56 we fully understand what you go through sometimes! Well done

[@RobertoLopez-qd1sb]

Thanks for sharing another new video, I hope that all that was solved, pleasantly, I mean, and without major problems. I look forward to your next adventure ...

Thank you Roberto..

[@daneulekowski929]

Episode 20 will put your channel of 10k Subs for sure. Glad to see you guys are well. Also, Phillipa walking up stairs is definently a treat. Have fun guys

[@SailingAequus]

Haha.. thanks Dane

[@roberthoward9100]

Guys really looking forward to your next video???? When’s it coming?????

[@ricorichmond8214]

So good to see your post! Was getting worried :) Love seeing Aequus perform in the Ocean! Maybe we will get to see you guys at one of the Boat shows?

[@Neilhuny]

Agreed! It really IS a good looking boat when it's sailing!

[@SailingAequus]

Thank you Rico, yes that would be lovely..

[@Neilhuny]

There's always a delay between when the episode was filmed and the present day but I was surprised you had to be so far north (Chesapeake Bay) by 1st June, so I downloaded an app (Marine Traffic) and found out where you are today. Shocked, I am, quite shocked! Lovely episode, as always

[@SailingAequus]

Thank you Neil

[@johnburke7253]

I don't know if the Americas are ready for Phillipa and her new found beer swilling habits. James you are a brave man.

[@freyja4954]

Lol Up North (New Hampshire) here we can swill with the best of them. She would have a great old time and fit right in.

[@SailingAequus]

I am actually likeing the beer thing, though one is enough and not in a pint glass!!! That is taking it tooooo far!! lol....

[@freyja4954]

@@SailingAequus I drink mostly dark beer. So one is enough mostly the time. My other go too's are a good desert wine or small glass of grappa.

[@hamishesslemont3705]

I was becoming worried at your “disappearance” , but so pleased to see you again ! Looking forward to more catch up news in the next video 😊👍

[@mikg7783]

Having to get a us visa because of some of the places I have worked, I feel the pain. Still at least like you I now have I have it - loving the video as always and looking forward to seeing what you get upto as you head to the Us

[@SailingAequus]

Hi Mik, it is defintiely a thing, thank you for the meesage

[@allanmoore7790]

Thanks for the explanation of US Visa situation! Hoping Aequus and everyone stays safe during Tropical Storm Henri’s arrival on Long Island Sound. What a “Bummer” - to sail all the way from the ABC’s to avoid hurricanes only to find one in New York. Growing up on Long Island my family spent our Summers in Southampton. Please let us know that you made it through safely!

[@SailingAequus]

Hi Allan, living it now, episode to come ;)

[@chrisdickson9965]

I too share the guilty pleasure of a McDonalds sausage + egg Mcmuffin. Just the right amount of sugar and salt but good for the soul !

[@SailingAequus]

Great Chris... enjoy ;)

[@79ferret]

Talking about the insurance explains why you guys have been showing up around Annapolis. All the red tape is a right faff on when it could all be done online. Philippa you can't say it's chilly in the Bahamas, You seem to be forgetting what its like back here in Blighty. I even had to put a coat on in Newcastle haha

[@Neilhuny]

What?! Nobody in Newcastle owns a coat... are you a southern ferret, used to warm burrows?

[@SailingAequus]

Haha... I know, you get spoilt lol

[@SailingAequus]

Very funny...

[@courtyc2464]

What camera equipment do you guys use? Such epic quality!

[@SailingAequus]

Thank you, we use a few but we love our go pro hero 9

[@freyja4954]

That burning rubbish smell is one of those smells that lingers in the air and it actually gives me nightmares. I would have moved up wind because I wouldn't have been able to sleep with the smell.

[@SailingAequus]

Hi Boomer, you are absolutely right, sadly after already moving which took about 2 hours in total we couldn't move again or risked trying to get in somewhere safe in the dark, been there done that... lol... great to see you here

[@freyja4954]

@@SailingAequus true, maneuvers at night can be dangerous and time consuming. Looks like made the best of it though.

[@michaelbundy3867]

80% as good as the real thing is pretty good. I would definitely stock up on those for breakfast at sea.

[@SailingAequus]

Haha love that Michael, think James is in agreement lol

[@ultrarekt5114]

In general: I would like to thank you for the sharing of your honest and clear information. Very helpful!! I have a question for you: do think it's worth the money to buy a more expensive yacht for example Hallberg Rassy/Amel, over Bavaria/Jeanneau? Taken into account the depreciation, build quality and so on. From an economic point of view I understand the calculations but love to see your view as an end user.

[@kbeilers]

Question: Would you still have chosen your big monohull over a 45 or 50 ft catamaran? I’m loving your videos! Just rewatched the one where you review the commissioning process and cost.

[@SailingAequus]

Very good question, we have never lived on a cat so at this moment we couldn't say...

[@frankityy]

A conex question with the previous...After several years sailing your Bavaria 57'...Do you think it has been a good election the boat size?

[@chriszanf]

How far behind are these videos as Dean said you're in New York currently?

[@SailingAequus]

A little way behind.... they take time to edit lol... ;)

[@jamesdesmoulin3912]

Philippa is not too impressed with McDonald's breakfast menu James is having.

Hi another James, not impressed at all.. lol
