We Sail Into Heavy Weather Way Offshore! / 1300 Mile Passage Pt 2 Ep 136

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Hello All We are off in the open ocean! We shall read and answer your comments when we get back online Thanks all and Enjoy

[@JOATMOFA]

I wish I was there with you guys! As a matter of interest, do you guys perhaps have 2 x PCs/Laptops on board - reason I ask is because one can have a fantastic LAN gaming setup against each other to while the time in calmer conditions!

[@goofy4birds]

@@JOATMOFA no they have limited internet, computers, and cameras. they are very simple in their lifestyle. if your watching a pass it means they have already crossed to find internet on shore

[@JOATMOFA]

@@goofy4birds A LAN connection does not require internet! You do not need an internet connection for LAN games! In other words - you only need 2 x PCs and a small LAN cable to play games against each other.

[@gratefulant2489]

ive said it before you guys are by far my favourite sailing channel. Poetry + Beautiful shots another Amazing episode. 👊🏼👍🏼

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Wow, thank you! 👍😊😊

[@alexanderjbeeston8580]

Adam, i think you really need to make a compilation of your poems both on paper and also recorded. They are really impressive.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

The sailing Brothers poetry book 🤔😁

[@shaungillingham4689]

Blimey sai lor & poet, a sort of Dylan Thomas of the high seas! Shame all that rain falling into a ocean, wasted really, its very soft water ,good for making tea with, good opportunity for a shower I would have thought.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Rainwater is the best for drinking, saltwater it's more buoyant it should stop you from sinking... I'm a poet and I didn't know it 🤣🤣🤣

[@MikeSantis]

Guys up with your spirits. It seems like you are focusing so much about your destinations. Yes it is natural to focus on the destination. But sailing it is not the destination that is always the most important but the journey. As it is with life. Accept all a trip offers you, ups and downs, and enjoy the ride and bring the spirits higher. I was watching Sailing with Thomas, sailing solo, the other day sailing from Tahiti to Tonga and he was all the time on high spirits and positive enjoying the ride not caring if the trip could take more. Actually loving it if the trip was longer. Sailors in the old days have been sailing without all the technology we have today at all!!! And you are two on board not solo. The boat is safe and sound and none of you have suffered any serious injuries. Don't make it so hard for your selves psychologically. Cheer up.

[@goofy4birds]

I find myself daydreaming of sailing when watching your action videos. in love with atlas

[@TheSailingBrothers]

If you do get to go out sailing do it in a Rival 😉

[@markthomasson5077]

Best thing about this video is it makes me so pleased I have a catamaran

[@TheSailingBrothers]

You lucky guy Mark 👌

[@richardayres2949]

Another great video guys, thanks. I was walking round the marina today walking my dog Captain and stopped to chat to a guy in the yard who was working on his 39 year old Rival, same as yours, after chatting for a while I asked him if he watched the sailing brothers. Yes answered enthusiastically and went on to say you inspired him to buy and do up his Rival. See what a great job you are doing 👏😀

[@TheSailingBrothers]

That's absolutely amazing thanks for sharing the story. Really good to know we have inspired people ⛵✌️😁

[@wu3705]

I know the events in this video have come and gone. And I wish I could have said the following statement during your time of despair. I would say to you during your time of disappointment when you lost your AIS antenna...Do not despair my friends because you have a great boat and an awesome crew. You guys will get through as long as you are faithful to yourselves and your boat. I am sure you guys are long past that moment but remember my statement. Be safe and thank you for sharing your adventure. May the winds be at your back and Godspeed gentlemen!

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Thank you so much really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a fantastic message. Will always remember your words 🙏

[@Shownup007]

Hey guys! Just noticed on sailing with Thomas that he found downwind sailing wire out parts on the mast head. So he sail on a tack off the wind and ya hat stops the rock and roll and the wearing of top standing rigging. He showed exactly this in his last video . And he did 40 plus miles more than wing on wing straight down wind. Works for him maybe you too. All the best!

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Very interesting thanks for sharing this 🙏🙏

[@Sailing_Antrice]

Don't be down guys - it could be worse - you could have been infested by cheese mites. Now thats got you worried. But stop and buy an emergency antenna as well as replacements for the AIS and VHF ones. That way if your aerials take a dive into the briny then you plug in the emergency one and carry on. Great poem by the way.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Can't imagine getting cheese mites on the boat and losing our entire stock that would be the end of us! Great idea about an aerial as a spare 👍

[@dale6349]

Twin back stays are a good idea!!

[@roadboat9216]

I have had passages when the sun finally came up, we could see the size of the seas and thought, oh crap, I think I liked it when I didn’t realize how big the seas were! I made a lot of passages before AIS, radar, chart plotters and GPS. Had to use a sextant. And you REALLY had to keep a watch! And yes, you do have a very nice boat. Beautiful and squared away. So is the crew. Ha ha.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Thanks for the message Fred really appreciate it. You are a true sailor much better than us with our modern technology 😄🙏⛵

[@ddouglas3687]

Nice poetry, well done! Sailing really begins when the rails are in the water! You should buy a spare antenna along with a 20' coax cable. Connect the antenna to one end, then switch the other end at the back of the radio/AIS. Run the antenna out and temporarily secure it as high as you can safely. 👍

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Yes you are right it would be great to have a couple more spares on board. Thanks for the advice Doug 🙏🙏

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Thank you very much indeed 😄 It's awesome to get such amazing feedback 🙏🙏

[@edwardfinn4141]

Guys Regarding your sail selection. 1. twin heads great idea. 2 main halyard attached at the stern, good idea, you are right with twin headsails there is a lot of stress on the mast , all at the top. 3 did you consider running the mainsail with two reefs but Centered tightly amid ships - where it holds little or no wind… … Sheeted tightly amidships in this way, the mainsail balances the force of the two headsails, and takes a lot of strain off of the mast…? Just my thinking…

[@neilquigley1030]

Good thought, Ed. But, unless there was reason not to trust the backstay, the halyard run aft wasn't helping - and would have torn out that little cleat if any significant forward masthead pull occurred. The Bro's said they were trying to stop pumping - the only way to do that is with a running backstay attached about 2/3 - 3/4 of the way up the mast. A reefed, centered main, and very tight mainsheet, can offer that protection - essentially the leech of the mainsail and the mainsheet serve as a discontinuous running backstay.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Never even thought about that but definitely worth a go thanks for the advice 😃👍

[@ooweesaler]

Awesome passage. Love the poem where did you get it? Running back stay but you already have topping lift to end of the boom and boom through main sheet to the hull.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

I wrote the poem myself (Adam) 😁 I don't think the Mast gonna fall down anytime soon 😄

[@TheSailingBrothers]

It was a pretty bleak time as you could tell. Glad you enjoyed the poem snowy 😊

[@Bill-wz6tw]

Id say your navigation tablet is more important than an AIS but the AIS does offer a peace of mind so you can rest better when you are off watch

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Yes you are correct. Feel quite naked without AIS after relying on it

A fantastic video, footage is amazing. my passage from Tahiti to Tonga 35 years ago was almost identical. Storms and squalls and headwinds for a week, we ended up heading to Nieu which turned out to be a magical place to stop. Without the dark moments you can’t appreciate the light.

We have heard from other cruisers it can be quite a tricky passage. To be honest I think we were quite lucky. Very true about the dark moments appreciating the light 🕯️

Thanks Wayne 😄 It was quite the blow losing our in antenna and AIS. We think a bird hit it. Thanks so much for your very kind to message 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@stephenburnage7687]

That looked to be more like a proper depression or even a (moderate) tropical storm, rather than a regular squall, given the time it took to pass and the changes in wind direction.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

We found out later from one of our weather people it was an approaching cold front

[@johnlawrence7268]

One of your best videos. Loved the poem, brilliant! Rain on waves is interesting. Once I had rain so heavy that it looked like we were sailing over snow dunes, all the sea was white. For me, the worst thing about heavy weather was the wind screaming in the rigging, it might be very uncomfortable when the sea is chucking the boat about but the wind noise is terrible. Looking forward to the next one.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Thanks for your positive feedback John ✌️ The rain makes the sea look really odd and flat. We can deal with the waves being thrown around but yes the noise is the scariest thing

[@sailingsheriff3349]

Hi Guys, sorry you had to go through that. Weather looked awful. Love the poem Did you write that Adam? Love it. You guys have learnt so much and become amazing sailors let alone entertainers.

[@simon7790]

Lovely to watch - a good challenge well met. We got seriously smacked in that area too. Once on the way to Suwarrow, and then again from there to Samoa. The second storm was 3 days long, with evening peaks of 55kts and monster waves. Nothing like that forecast. We lost the transom steps to a wave and ripped both sails. I was getting very tired by the end from helming as the wind vane or autopilot couldn't cope well with the cross seas and we span out a couple of times. Fun times!

[@gilray1977]

I am just starting into this video and probably should make my comment(s) afterwards but here goes: I was very surprised to see you put that second head'sle up, for down wind sailing the way you did so. Personally I would never unban the whole sail back at the mast. No worries dead down wind in moderate air, but others wise asking to have a sail turn into a 'ball gown' turned sea anchor. Suggestion: when you bag the sail, do it with all the hanks still on the fore stay, bag it up and leave the clew readily accessible to the bag opening, then take all the hanks off and stow her below. The next time setting the sail all the hanks will be stacked in or close to in order. You can hank her up and attach the halyard and sheets before the sail ever comes out of the bag. This is a great way to prep a sail ahead of time in a slowly dying breeze. You can take your time prepping and if you don't set for an hr or two, the sail is not going to go any where or threaten to cause an inadvertent issue. Same for dousing in a freshening breeze where you may want to set it again in a few hrs because the wind died or you bore off etc.... ;)

[@TheSailingBrothers]

It did get pretty sketchy and I have been suffering with my nose recently seems very bummed up all the time. We were a little deflated losing our antenna and AIS 😭

[@sailingmoonshadow3169]

That double headsail set-up works a treat doesn't it? I use the same on my Atlantic crossing but I don't have an inner forestay so I rigged the #2 genoa on the second (port side) track of the furler foil with its own halyard. No worry about an accidental gybe!

[@TheSailingBrothers]

How did that work out for you have in the twin head sails on the stay ?

[@stephenburnage7687]

My sailing buddy always discouraged me from sailing with twin headsails, on the basis that the rig was not designed for such a load. That probably depends on the boat, but a good idea to at least run a halyard aft, to resist some of that load.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

It's good practice just in case. You are right about the rig not being designed for it 👍
