We SAILED 3600 Miles NONSTOP to Iceland [EP 202]

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

This comment has nothing to do with sailing, but of all the couples on KZbin, you guys are just so likable…..

[@georpwl]

Congratulations Adam and Khiara! What an accomplishment in completing this crossing to Iceland. Now, getting around to possibly being clouted on the noggin by Khiara. Women, according to my reading, carry more body fat than men. This is reportedly an evolutionary adaptation related to childbearing. This could, at least partially, by the extra warmth extra fat could contribute to the bearer, explain Adam’s attraction to extra clothing while in the Arctic sleeping bag.

[@SailingSnowGum]

Adam, the Gods were smiling on you the day they decided to drop this beautiful woman right next to you. I have had the same blessing and know that your gratitude will grow until it is greater than you ever thought imaginable. Well done to you both. Regards, Rick.

[@tomcraddock244]

That’s one hell of an achievement!!! Thanks for bringing us along.Well Done Fair winds ⛵️

[@Neilhuny]

"I see it! I see it, they're here" followed by a bottle of fizz, laughter and hugs - it is surely the most romantic, wonderful video on KZbin to date!

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Thank you very much! 😁😁

[@johnpayne3134]

There are several excellent liveaboard video logs out here on KZbin, but you two are the very best of the very best. Thank you for your time and care creating these videos and these glimpses into your lives and travels.

[@barbaralane9825]

That’s certainly a long way from getting grounded going out to Charlotte Harbor on your first real sail on Millie. Has to feel great.

[@garymost6255]

Wow!! The editing, videography, and music on arrival was “Disney-esk”! I could feel myself getting physically drawn into the video. Plus, the commentary on the trip that Adam provided was nearly poetic. Congrats on passing 20k nm, and your arrival!!

[@OMIF1]

The drone shots were amazing. Congrats.

[@arthurdentau]

Hi Guys, I just found your channel a few days ago, I have gone back & started from the beginning. I just watched ep 74 about the turtle, absolutely amazing, Adam you are one in a million m8, that turtle is alive because of you, you care, good onya. besides that, you guys are fantasticly good people. your tenacity & persistance with all the issues you have had, others would have given up. Keep on truckin m8. Cheers.

[@user-retsailor]

What a lovely and glorious day ! Congrats to Adam and Khiara ! So happy for you.....

[@pkane5472]

Congratulations you two! No small feat what you did!

[@ronaldcolby4100]

Congratulations on your voyage. You might remember what they said on the radio, when you told them that you came from the south. You had an epic journey.

[@carlcantrell4781]

Wow, and what a reception! They started up their volcano to welcome you. Oh, so privileged. 🙂 You challenged yourselves and achieved it. Good job. Remember that the bigger the challenge, the bigger the achievement. 🙂

[@qksmith]

Chiara is so cheery all the time.

[@Stephan_01]

Thanks for letting us join you on this journey ♥️♥️🥰🥰

[@TheOlandex]

I'm a bit behind on your videos, but have to say - I am so incredibly happy for you two. I mean, I'm also pretty jealous, but mostly I am overwhelmingly happy for you. What an amazing adventure. You've done with style and grace and always kept that wonderful sense of humor. Oh, I know there were many moments you didn't record that were perhaps not so glamourous, but all in all you've done it, and you can be so proud of yourselves for that. Bravo Zulu!

[@marktaylor484]

Huge congratulations on a monumental achievement, Iceland is a very special place.

[@FatherMarty]

So glad the whales were welcoming and not destructive!

[@crashgilliam5983]

Congrats to you both on a long and safe journey and for pushing forward in the face of adversity!

[@andytaylor97]

Bloody bloody well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍾🍾🍾🎂🎂🎂🎉🎉🎉 Now what?

[@janvanloosen9042]

Great achievement you guys. Enjoy your stay in Iceland.

[@wallywombat164]

Thank you Beautiful people for a beautiful vid. ❤❤❤❤

[@prestonwhite4282]

great job guys! I adore the both of you and the laughter at Adam is so very contagious. Sorry Adam but really her laugh! I do wish you both continued good health and great sailing.

[@bobbieboothroyd8531]

You are very lucky. To be able to see the world. It must be really disorientating to see so much day light. I did smile when I saw Adam with all that gear on I half expected a Scott's man to sail by in a T shirt. No but you are very skillful. Stay safe

[@jaymacpherson8167]

Glad to hear no mal disembarkment for either of you! All that talk about “cold” and the heavy attire, I thought you were at the freezing point. Crikey, the tropics have altered you two 🥶!

[@hendrixerikeb]

Til hamingju. What a journey you just realised...

[@dennismacdonald2003]

Thanks!

[@dennismacdonald2003]

Yw awesome videos just don't do patreon

[@dogfood61188]

Army boy there talking about the whales ejection port, AMAZING. I love you guys

[@chrisyarnold6205]

Khiara, showing that no matter how long she has spent in Oz and the tropics, she is still a Brit! Love it, and you are one a few channels heading for higher lattitude sailing recently.

[@timohan100]

What a great passage. You should both be very proud of yourselves. When on passage you may want to try sleeping with your feet forward. If you hit something, like a whale or rock, the boat will stop dead in its tracks. Your body will continue forward until you hit the bulkhead. Better to break an ankle than your neck. This happen once while racing. We hit a rock at 6 knots and a sleeping crew member ended up with 15 stitches on the top of his head. Lucky that was the extent of the injury.

[@Yachts59]

The best memory of you life I am very jealous enjoy when you can good luck😊😊😊❤

[@danknox9986]

A couple of weeks ago about 40 boats raced from San Francisco to Half Moon Bay. We saw dozens of whales. It was amazing, even for a group of racers. Pretty much every boat made whale watching a priority. I even saw a whale jump out of the water. First time ever. Then a mother and calf. Truly amazing.

[@saintpreferred9223]

Not worth being in CA....

[@RandyMcNeil2]

when khiara starts giggling it is just contagious. Congratulations on the crossing. I enjoyed following every day.

[@MrFroglips69]

Just spectacular, totally groovy. Well done, well done indeed. Whales and Dolphins joining you along the way. Stay safe and stay groovy.

[@Steve-Debs]

That should make it 5 swallows each. Well done guys, that’s one hell of an achievement. You could hear the thinking going through the Customs officers head after you told him your last port of call. Enjoy.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Haha yep, I don’t think he expected to hear ‘the Caribbean’! We are definitely owed some tattooes now! 🥳 Adam is at risk of looking like a crazy bird fan though as his only other tattoo is an eagle… and then we’ve named our boat the Falcon… 5 swallows may be putting him a tad on the ‘bird fanatic’ side 😂

[@grahamatsea3575]

A massive achievement surmounting some testing problems on route, great drone and whale footage. Iceland is a stunning place, hire a car too if you've got the time, get a 4x4 one as the dirt / gravel roads really take you into the wildeness, there are plenty of dirt roads that are easy for a small 4x4 you just need a bit of ground clearance.

[@dereknolin5986]

Glad y'all made it safely! I hope Adam's back gets better.

[@gntsailing4389]

Bravo zulu! 🎉

[@jmtn67]

Blimey aqualubbers you made that look effortless 👏👏👏👏👏

[@rimasmeleshyus9486]

Wow amazing about 3,600 miles nonstop . Congratulations . I wishing fear winds and following seas 🌊 ⛵️ Greetings from beautiful tropical paradise island Kauai, Hawaii

[@MCallsen]

When Island becomes a kitty in the mind of Ben :D You have no idea how much joy this brings to the Mondays you post ♥

[@dadthegrappler4125]

Congratulations!!! It couldn't have happened to nicer people.

[@davidmilner3575]

You;ll love being there in Iceland, my wife and I were there in February and we loved it. Near where you berthed, there is a phenomenal fish and chips place. It looks a litttle divey but the food there is really good. The best place for lobster bisque (soup) is Verbúð 11 very near the place you tied up to. Have fun!!

[@davidmiller6020]

Hi Guys, As usual enjoyed the giggles. Your banter over each others heat levels was greatly entertaining. Khiara it just confirms what I have thought for some years. "You're hot stuff Missus". Well done on the voyage.

[@Vtarngpb]

Adam you'd be better off stripping down to a boundary layer at most... Since that kind of sleeping bag is designed for low temps, honestly nothing you wear underneath it will really help till you start approaching the limit of the bag. Just try it!

[@charliemcgrain]

Oh wow, what an epic sail. And now you are in the north, you will see a very different kind of beauty. Svalbard and the Faroe Islands cannot be missed. Yes, cold up there but it is a once in a life time opportunity to see some of the most incredible majestic landscapes. Well done! And may thanks for sharing.

[@janecme]

An extraordinary achievement. Well done, all three of you!

[@sdroth01]

Thank you for sharing your amazing story. Not sure what is better, your excellent video and editing skills….or your positive attitude and joy. There are plenty of sailing videos floating around the internet, but none have such honest laughter and humor. But, where was that celebratory leap into the water upon arrival? 😊

[@danbarrett2837]

Wonderfull to see your arrival in Iceland. Congratulations on your accomplishment and achievements at sea Thanks fro the ride...

[@thomwerner888]

Hands clap... a thousand times.... good on ya... what a great journey.

[@canvashomesusa8729]

Just incredible! She really tracks well...

[@deancleavesmith]

Fabulous edition of SMF and what an achievement - congratulations!

[@klausmontag2801]

Congratulation, you did an epic voyage. R E S P E C T. Fair Winds and following seas.

[@jakealdridge1257]

EPIC , just bloody EPIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@williamdykes2750]

Bravo Zulu. Well done.

[@jpdj2715]

As to being able to deal with heat or cold - the difference between Khiara and Adam - this is genetic (in the genetic make up of your mitochondria that we inherit from our mothers). There are only between 5 and 10 genetically different kinds of mitochondria in homo sapiens AFAIK. Our energy sources are in all sorts of molecules and the mitochondria play a role in conversion into energy for heat and energy for muscles. You can imagine that Inuit (AKA Eskimo) have a variant that turns most basic energy into heat capacity and a bit into energy for muscles. The dominant variant of mitochondria in the people of the Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia region makes most energy available for use in muscles and no or little heat.

[@chrismalkin4070]

Absolutely fab-bloody-tastic! So happy for you both, and seeing you both so happy. Epic. Congrats.

[@davexvs]

CONGRATS guys what an achievement furthest north for both of you {:-) PAV UK

[@mort-u1n]

God bless you for bringing this epoch to us! Thank you.

[@MikeLoveBuns]

Enjoy your sailing ⛵️ video! Mike from Missouri

[@johnbosworth777]

What a great episode. You take me to a better place and with the amazing whale encounter this one was special.....😊 I really felt your joy and excitement when spotting Iceland for the first time. Well done.

[@Leib33]

👋 Congrats! 5500th LIKE - I love it when that odometer turns over!

[@Robzilla501]

What?! No tea? Ridiculous! 😂 Trying to imagine sailing with a 1.5 meter clearance to the guest whale below my vessel. Would be a bit unnerving while hoping I looked like a cousin or something. Layers,layers,layers,,stay warm

[@christopherforster6555]

Well done on your fabulous sale you are a happy couple love to watch your videos thanks take care ❤

[@AIRDOODOO]

What an accomplishment.."That was one very long sail"

[@JheregJAB]

What an achievement! You just sailed more miles in a single trip than most sailors will truly sail in years. Thanks for letting us be some small part of your journey!

[@brycepeterson7730]

We sailed the Pacific Northwest the wild life in the colder climate far better. Enjoy guys. great job

[@charliesimeon]

Great effort guys! What an honour to be escorted by that pod of whales and dolphins...Thats one hell of a sail... now go enjoy the worlds most expensive beers !

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

The arrival parade was definitely on point! The $12usd beer was not so much..!

[@SirCharles12357]

Congrats!!! Beautiful drone shots with Iceland in the background. It's nice to see those huge whales in large numbers!

[@mattadkins9182]

Congrats! Not to diminish the accomplishment, but I think the best part was playing Marco Polo with whales in the middle of nowhere. That is awesome!

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

That was probably Adams highlight so I’m sure he’d agree with you too! 😄

[@P4ddyC4ke]

Yay!!!!! Glad everything went well. Now, onto repairs and exploration!

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

And that’s exactly how it went when we arrived 😂

[@christianvonleckstergaard1301]

Oh what a journey! Thanks for taking us with you. Love Christian from Denmark 😁

Fantastic! Looking forward to seeing your land tour 🤗💞

[@desolatemetro]

I know, I know, I'm quite a bit behind on my favorite sailing channel but congratulations! Quite a journey. You always do a great job creating content on passages. I like to see what happens during the actual sailing part, whether its big or small. You always make it interesting, and you make me dream of getting out there myself some day. Thanks for such a great channel.

[@rssea814]

That's one heck of a sail, congratulations!

[@waynedahl6904]
