The photography is amazing

[@wunderlostbc]

Wow, is that water ever clear!! lol 28:29

[@peterasacker5948]

The comment Chris sent is actually spot on. I think that is exactly why we enjoy your videos. You show the good and trying times of sailing life. Thank you and keep safe and of course looking forward to your next shared video

[@WEsail]

Thanks Peter!! Well said! Cheers

[@jjansen987]

I love the repair videos too! What a great mix of both repairs and gorgeous water and much more. So glad I found this channel.

[@Trooperuss]

Ditto, Have a request actually. As a fellow tinkerer, can we get some more in depth upgrade/repair vids, I especially love clean installs Warren does. By far my fav was stealthing the solar wires in the poles. When I saw you were upgrading the solar , I says to myself "Oh I hope he runs the wires clean through the poles, I know it's more effort, but it'll be so Schmexy." Thanks Bud, you did not disappoint!

[@jjansen987]

@@Trooperuss check out some of there earlier videos. They do a lot of work to the boat.

[@WEsail]

Haha I try!! Well you got it, we are doing those new Five Minute Fridays (ending up more like FIFTEEN Minute Fridays LOL) and those would fit perfectly there!! (Actually here is a little insider info- we have one filmed already and might be posted this Friday)

[@WEsail]

Thank you Justin

[@richsander1118]

Wow, the still photos are great!

[@Debgattas]

Maybe it’s because I’m not a guy, but I don’t love the repair videos. I think you guys do a fantastic job and are one of the best channels out there, you should have more followers. They are missing out.!!!

[@malicus01]

10:48 could be the workds coming out of my mouth or from any of your viewer guys. I really love and appreciate what you do!!!!

[@WEsail]

Wow Mauizio, VERY appreciated!! Thank you so so much!

[@MontanaCabanalivn]

this was the best episode....I went from walking on the icy streets to sitting down and seeing this...perfect. I love this channel.

You found the grooviest place to party with friends. Great dance music and plenty of hard booze. I'm a little surprised you guys could drive back to your boat. LOL!

I love your videos and Chris nailed it. I so look forward to getting a new issue to see what you are up to. The photography is incredible, Warrens projects are always interesting and informative, and Erica is so beautiful, what's not to like!

Wow, so very appreciated- all of it, well said!! Keep those coming LOL

[@brentstafford9736]

9.9 on the dives Erica. A little too much splash on entry. 🙂I love your channel as well and agree wholeheartedly with Chris! I love that you guys love what you do. THANK YOU for sharing!!

Thank you THANK YOU!!

[@doogl2331]

Your stills of the sharks and rays were absolutely stunning and loved the way you integrated them into the video.

[@WEsail]

Thank you very much Doug!! cheers bud

[@bravofighter]

I second Chris’ sentiment, you guys freakin’ rock. I’m a naturist, and love that you guys are not ashamed of your bodies and celebrate the natural beauty around you, it’s. VERY inspiring. My wife and I love watching your videos and we’re down to see whatever you guys do, from boat repairs to whale dives.

[@WEsail]

You’re amazing, thanks very much for the kind message!! CHEERS!

[@OurCabinInThewoods]

Every thing Chris said he is spot on. My dreams would be able to do this but i could never get my wife in a boat heck not even row boat. We are what i call modern homesteaders and have kids and grand kids that keep us grounded. But by enjoying your weekly videos keep me a happy camper. I am living my dream watching these videos. Thanks for keeping it real and always smiling. be safe and have fun. ✌ 5 Stars

[@WEsail]

Wow thank you, it’s always amazing getting your messages!!

[@jilldaugherty6959]

Loved this episode. Walt always cringes whenever you go up the mast to repair something. Beautiful scenery!!

[@WEsail]

Haha first thank you, and second- man we get more messages in this than anything else! It’s all good, we know they all come from a place of love, but I do have a background in rock climbing, mountaineering, rescue and recovery, and I’m very comfortable with my setup, I’m safe I promise!

[@kevinzunker1386]

I have the best time enjoying the journey you are on. Thanks for bringing us with you. There is no doubt why you have found French Polynesia so special. You have some awesome shots with the sharks and rays, what a beautiful and amazing place to see through your eyes. Keep safe always. Looking forward to more great videos.

[@WEsail]

Thanks Kevin we really appreciate it!!

[@aniabrandt7]

Agreed 100% with Chris comment. From the biginning I thought your channel is underrated. The quality of your video's and the boat u r on I think much more people should noticed u. I think is starting for u. Remember not long ago when u had only few thousands view's on each video and now u have even one video almost half a million and that's how it starts. Soon one video will reach 1 million view's and then I hoping for u to have hundreds of thousands view's on each video. Soon guy's!! Cheering u up. Your channel is much appreciated especially when am battleing long covid and stroke I want to be ok again and follow your footsteps. I meat my soulmate last year and we want to get married and travel the world. So thank u. U r inspirational

[@WEsail]

YESS!! So happy for you! And man we love your messages and kind words!! It’s all very appreciated, keep your chin up and have faith, it all works out! CHEERS ANNA!

[@peterfrebold]

... bonus on the Radar ..... loved the underwater shots and the drone of the wave breaks ... see the reef is right there, but have to ask have you witnessed braking waves from underneath. Have not seen it personaly but have seen footage where there was also strong rip judging by the movement of the underwater foliage .... great episode ... thx for the share .. as always .. never stop dreaming, ust dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....

[@krista7722]

Gosh this video was the perfect balance of inspiration and information. Really couldn’t imagine how anyone could do it better. I’m impressed and motivated. Also your reaction to the nice comment was a great moment it made the viewer feel the gratitude and I feel like that’s pretty rare here on the tube. Keep up the awesome work!

[@WEsail]

Wow, thanks! Really appreciate you taking the time to message us!!

[@troysmith629]

Hey guys, just found your channel. A mate of mine has a Helia 44 so clearly KZbin has been listening to me. 😂😂 I love your eco friendly and light footprint approach to life. Your positivity is refreshing in a world that focuses on and promotes the negative. If I could give you one word of advice from one yachty to another, when you go up the mast, never rely on a shackle always tie a bowline and always use a second halyard as a safety line. I had my heart in my mouth when you were grinding the top of the mast around the main halyard in this episode. Stay safe guys, enjoy and keep up the positivity it’s bloody awesome.❤

[@WEsail]

Awesome message thank you! Ya we get SO MANY messages about the soft shackle, more than anything else!! Rest assured that I am very experienced with rappelling, rock climbing, mountaineering, and feel completely safe with my setup, but we know all these messages come from a place of love, and we really do appreciate them all- thank you

[@jefftimko5818]

Warren drinking his beer in the background made me laugh and those still photos were off the charts amazing!!! Love watching yalls adventures....

What a fun episode! Warren you gotta try that wingfoiling stuff! it's so fun and it's like crack! Addicting! We do it Colorado but the water ain't so warm! With the dingy you'd figure out the foil part quick.

[@mrjbbarker1947]

Chris said it more eloquently but the overall quality of your work is so great. I know from my diving, filming and editing, it doesn't just happen. keep up the good work. Great episode.

[@WEsail]

Much appreciated! True, it’s tough, but messages like yours keep us going! Thanks Gerald!!

[@williamarblaster4220]

Well, Warren and Erica how very nice to see another excellent video. Love you guys working playing taking a Saturday off to try to crash the party. Certainly looks like everyone enjoyed up having a good time even though you didn’t have any tickets. Warren was waxing a bit philosophical at times during the video about how you guys deserve this like you’re living. You worked really hard to be able to make your dreams come true. Very happy for you.Bill

[@loripeaceandlove6391]

I absolutely love how you humble yourself and you both asked a question every day. How did we get so blessed. Honestly I feel that I am so blessed that I found your channel. You both work so hard on filming and editing and putting together amazing content that is full of beautiful scenery and the amazing beautiful animals in the ocean. Honestly, I’m so blessed that I found your channel so I’m able to see how beautiful these special places that you travel to in the world are and to see all of God’s creation, the trees, the sunsets, and sunrises, and the rainbows and the beautiful palm trees blowing in the wind, and of course to be able to witness and see in such a beautiful way so much of God’s animals that live in these beautiful areas. It’s truly just breathtaking. So thank you so much for sharing your blessed journey with us. PeaceAndLove Lori

Wow Lori, this is a very special message, it has warmed us the same way Chris’s did, and it’s incredibly appreciated! May be the next one we read LOL! Cheers Lori, our love goes out to you and you kind soul

Hello. Je partage totalement le message de Chris. Bravo pour la qualité de vos épisodes. Quel talent ! Vous m’inspirez depuis 2 ans et j’ai décidé de partir en déc 2023 pour les Antilles. Ce petit en Français car il y a beaucoup de Francophones en voyages, et un petit en Français de Madame serait parfois le bienvenu ;-). A très vite.

[@WEsail]

Well thank you!!!

[@Ninja_Sloth]

Awesome, awesome, awesome. Love the bubble lens cover for those above-yet-below shots. Hey, Delos called you guys out on episode 399 for sending them charts for hurricane holes in northern Baja. Brian basically said you saved them. I agree with others, you need to add a safety line when going up the mast...you Colorado folk should know better. We love you both too much not to say anything 😧

[@WEsail]

Awesome! Thank you! We get SO many comment about this soft shackle!! HAHA more than anything! So I also have a long history of rock climbing, mountaineering, and also and I worked in the construction field for decades, often needing PPE and fall protection working at heights, and I am not 100% sure what the breaking strength is of that particular soft shackle (I have many on the boat) but its in the TENS OF THOUSANDS OF POUNDS, so I really do not understand what has people so upset about (no you are not alone on this, like I said it seems to bother everyone!) Thank you for saying all this, we really appreciate messages like this! I'll stay safe I promise! CHEERS

While not as erudite as Chris, I have to say that he expressed every feeling that I have for your channel and please understand, as I say to my dear wife of 62+ years, even though we have been in many places over our married life, this lovely couple is showing us the part of the world that we have never had the privilege of visiting and sadly, never will. Thanks to you both.

[@WEsail]

erudite!? Wow well done, you are certainly more erudite than us, we had to look that up LOL! Anyways, THANK YOU!! Man, very appreciated

[@DaveBrandt96]

@@WEsail I must admit that I use a Grammarly program to ensure that I don't make a fool of myself. Regarding losing drones, there are several available that are waterproof and float. Admittedly, they are usually more expensive, but you don't have to lose many before that added cost is covered.

[@rolyoly100]

Such a fun video! And great water shots too!

[@WEsail]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you Olin

[@kentfletcher8539]

Great job on the video, your content is improving all the time! I, too, have to urge using a second line for safety. Also, if you look at the video at about 8:18, when you first mention the spot of chafed halyard, it's on the standing part of the line, just down from the knot, so that portion of the line may never get pulled into the masthead and over the sheave. As that's your spinnaker halyard, being chafed at that point may be due to contact with the genoa foil or forestay.

[@WEsail]

Hummm nice catch!!! Well thank you!!

[@happycampers6701]

Very cool photos, never seen anything like those. Ditto what Chris said, couldn't have said it better myself. Keep up the good work and lots of fun to come.

Right on, Well first thanks for your concern, this is something that gets more comments than anything else! But rest assured, I have spent my life rock climbing (most in the field never use a second or backup safety line), mountaineering, and working in the construction field which required safety harnesses and being tethered to roofs very often, so rest assured that I am quite versed in the field, and quite comfortably with the gear I use- like that soft shackle, it’s rated to several thousand pounds of strength, and tightens on itself under pressure, so well within the demands of my 165 pound frame! Thanks tho, very appreciated!!

Some of the stills from your encounters with the sharks and rays are downright spectacular. If you can, then I think you should consider selling them as prints out of your swag store. Put a WEsail watermark on them and offer them up to your fans. I know I'd hang a poster sized print on my office wall in a heartbeat, I mean how much more incredible can the South-Pacific get.

You are definitely an underrated channel. I watch several that have 20K - 50K subs. All of you do a good job. But how to boost yourselves to 200K or more? Don't know. "Roiley" (La Vagabonde) it just Happened for them. Delos... a LOT of hard work and excellent stories. They STILL have the best theme song! Thank you for the sharks and rays. Consider an episode of "slow TV" with just those for 30 or more mins. I would love that and other than capturing the minutes... it shouldn't be too difficult to put together. Thank you. I wish you the best for your future.

[@charliebrown8278]

Moorea-Maiao has to be the most gorgeous island on the planet. (That is where this was shot, right?). I follow you guys, and not the other big KZbinrs because somehow your videos feel so intimate. Just you, me, and 31,000 of your other friends. Those numbers should be so much higher because the quality of the videos and the adventures are both top shelf. Chris’s comments are echoed by many of us. So many of your shots have become screen savers for me (don’t worry… just the scenery. None of you. That would just be creepy). Rock on dude and dudette.

[@WEsail]

Haha man AWESOME note you just sent, it made us snail and LOL, seriously! Well done sir, keep those coming!! Cheers Charlie, have a GREAT DAY

[@RobertThompson857]

I ditto what Chris wrote to you wonderful folks. One more thought: We have Apple TV and their screen saver videos are excellent. However, your drone footage puts Apple's to shame. Maybe you could market some clips to them to augment your sailing funds. Sail on and keep the videos coming.

[@pbear6251]

I agree with Chris as well. However I noticed you didn't do what other sailors do , which is doing a mast inspection while you up the mast doing repairs and did you replace or fix that chafe in the line at the top of the mast?.

Hola! I agree with everything Chris Said! Just Curious what was your profession for you both before setting off on the Sailing life? 🤟❤⛵️

[@davel9130]

I know those boat jobs are long since done, but you might think about replacing phillips head screws with Torx head or even flanged hex so you can get a ratchet on them. Turning a screwdriver in tight spaces is a pain. With the radar, it could also have been a minor corrosion issue (it was hard to tell from the video), but you might want to slap some marine grade dielectric grease on that bad boy next time you're up there. Of course, you may have thought about/done all this already...

[@WEsail]

Hey Dave GEEAT ideas honestly- I absolutely use the dielectric grease, good call for sure! And the torx is tough- they clearly have better grip but they HAVE TO be 304 or 316 stainless steel and that my friend, is hard to find… unfortunately

Your halyard and block that you used for your bosun’s chair looks a bit sketchy. Never rely on a shackle when your life literally hangs in the balance. Tie your own knot and always run a backup safety line, nobody wants to see a splat on the deck

@@WEsail truly love your attitudes and awesome videos. Re the halyard/bosuns chair. I guess most of us armchair admirals just see that there is only one line. One point of failure and all is lost.

[@alexanderlenina4203]

Hello. When you're at anchor for so long, what do you do with your black water tank? After about 8 days it should be full. You don't sail an extra 3 nautical miles out to empty it. What are the other sailors doing with smaller tanks? Thank you and take care.

[@WEsail]

Awesome question, we rarely get that from viewers but always from guests… almost everywhere we have gone, and this includes most everyone we know of, does not adhere to the three miles out rule… now, this may seem pretty disgusting, and it definitely did seem that way to us at first, but really it’s a drop in the bucket, for MOST anchorages… most places, especially where we have been the last year, has SO MUCH natural flow from tides that once you flush, you never see it again. that being said, there are some really tight, small anchorages that you just can’t operate like that and we close everything down, but otherwise it’s right into the ocean… thanks for asking

[@Thislife360]

Haha yep it’s AMAZING!! Okay so it’s a fav spot of ours just off the north side of Mo’orea, it’s just know as Sharks & Rays, everyone on the island knows about it… every tour operation goes there, and it can actually be swam? swum? to from a semi public beach as well… many near by vacation rentals have kayaks and or paddle boards to use as well

Loved your personal message, and wondering how you've been able to develop your life. You also mentioned that it's probably an unanswerable question. Allow me to take a shot at an answer.....from my experience, as success leaves clues. . You both have an appreciation for the same dream. Don't know how, or if it was simultaneous, yet it is a 5% level. Perhaps you had a few breaks, however, I call it blessings as you both seem pure in intentions, especially with others [that is a condition for blessing]. A 5% level. Everyone has obstacles, yet you both discuss, share ideas, come to a conclusion and make a decision. A 5% level. I could go on painting my picture, yet this is about answering the question posed by you. . To finalize, you both communicate about issues, not at each other, whether good or not so good issues. It is always the issue, not each other. A 5% level. Bottom line, many, perhaps all, are presented with ideas / opportunities all the time. 5% people see the idea / opportunity, and ...........

Wow, love you back!! Actually we have always loved your comments, I hope you know how much we appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment, you’re one of our favorites!

Another great video guys!

[@jimlofts5433]

Hope you were nowhere near that radar when it was turned on

[@WEsail]

Ya unfortunately I was, il admit- I honestly did not know it was that serious… I knew it shouldn’t be mounted where constant exposure would occur, but momentary? Just didn’t know

Hey you two crazy beautiful peeps! What is the flooring in your dinghy? Kinda sounds inappropriate lol. Sorry.

[@WEsail]

Haha ya kinda LOL! It’s some soft rubberized foam-ish stuff that we got in Tahiti, I’m sure a very similar product is available stateside (I assume that’s where you are?)

[@rickhofbauer3661]

Great vid once again. But please have a sperate safety line with a rope grab as you go up, I do have high angle rescue certs and 20 years as a construction safety advisor so now my shit folks LOL, You guys have way to many fufture adventures to share with all of use. Or I wont buy any more T-shirts LOL.

[@WEsail]

HAHA Deal Rick!! Hey we get more comments on this than anything, and I also have a long history of rock climbing, mountaineering, and also and I worked in the construction field for decades, often needing PPE and fall protection working at heights, and I am not 100% sure what the breaking strength is of that particular soft shackle (I have many on the boat) but its in the TENS OF THOUSANDS OF POUNDS, so I really do not understand what has people so upset about (no you are not alone on this, like I said it seems to bother everyone!) so maybe you can explain it to me? Also I know that its possible to use a second line when ascending, but I have never rock climbed with a second line? Thank you for saying, we really appreciate messages like this!

[@rickhofbauer3661]

@@WEsail Several ways of doing this im not getting into a long answer, many many YT channels on safety stuff for sailors or rigers will have ideas im sure a riger doesn't trust a unknown line going up a mast on every boat they go up on now i wouldn't lol. its a one time get it wrong, no comeing back from that fall. And words of wisdom dont take the chance cant happen about sums it up.

I’m sure you know what you’re doing or perhaps there is more to what we see in the video but couple of things raised my eyebrows. You replaced 30a fuse with 60a, using soft shackle with a block, while you are up there your partner hits the transmit button for the radar exposing you radiation. Essentially this was a “how not to” video 😂

[@WEsail]

Wow very observant, well done! The electrical system is supposed to have 60A fusses, not sure why I had used 30's originally or why I didn't catch that while filming... Man the soft shackle- NOTHING gets more comments than that!! I am not 100% sure what the breaking strength is of that particular one (I have many on the boat) but its in the TENS OF THOUSANDS OF POUNDS, so I really do not understand what has people so upset about (no you are not alone on this, like I said it seems to bother everyone!) but yes I do know what I am doing, I have been a rock climber and mountaineer my whole life, and I worked in the construction field for decades, often needing PPE and fall protection working at heights, so I am perfectly comfortable with my set up... the Radar, honestly until this video I had no idea that it was harmful, that may be ignorant but I'll own it, no excuses, I just didn't know.... Thank you for saying, we really appreciate messages like this!

[@Tevfik_A]

Firstly, this was the first video of your channel that I watched and I am surprised that I missed your channel in the past 8 years that started watching sailing/boat videos. I guess mea culpa. Second, I watched 10 more videos after this and I really liked them especially the ones that you worked in the boat. Third, the content and video quality etc is really top notch (and not pretentious 👍🏻). Fourth, so as you are the expert from now on I will be using a soft shackle and if I die it’s you 😂 (seriously though you might want to research this a bit further). Good job guys

[@WEsail]

Haha deal- I’ll take a second look into those shackles! Thanks!!

[@SailingwithScott]

Another great episode...still cant figure out why some sailing channels have hundreds of thousands subscribed and you guys have 31K. Whats wrong with the algorithm?

[@kahllackey5619]

Hey Warren, please bud, don't ever go up the mast again with that soft shackle in your line. As an ex-climber we weren't even allowed to join an organized climb if you didn't have all locking gate carabiners, and now auto locks. Being out in the south pacific away from any immediate medical attention, pleas get yourself some auto lock carabiners and a second line with a belay device. Might cost you a 100-200, but it's better than being dead or paralyzed for the rest of your life. Take care, and great job on the quality vidoe production.

[@WEsail]

Hey THANK YOU, I’m not being argumentative buuuut…this is something that gets more comments than anything else! But rest assured, I have spent my life rock climbing (most in the field never use a second or backup safety line), mountaineering, and working in the construction field which required safety harnesses and being tethered to roofs very often, so rest assured that I am quite versed in the field, and quite comfortably with the gear I use- like that soft shackle, it’s rated to several thousand pounds of strength, and tightens on itself under pressure, so well within the demands of my 165 pound frame! Thanks tho, very appreciated!!

[@WEsail]

I do like the idea of a locking carabiner!!

@@WEsail Warren, I'm glad you're open to suggestions! My comment was from a place of concern for you sir, not trying to be judgmental in any way, and I'm glad you didn't take it that way. I spend my days as a healthcare provider and may be slightly biased, as I get to care for the sick and injured on a daily basis. I hope you will consider your own safety a priority.

[@Hotzenplotz1]

You know X-ray is really harmful? Never get in front of the radar while it's on. There's a angle of 15 degrees in each direction to stay clear of. Hope you switched it off at least when you went up the second time.

[@WEsail]

Wow Thank you- the Radar, honestly until this video I had no idea that it was harmful, that may be ignorant but I'll own it, no excuses, I just didn't know.... Thank you for saying, we really appreciate messages like this!

[@Hotzenplotz1]

@@WEsail Thanks as well. You're absolutely welcome. The radiation is just the same as it's used for medical X-rays. But probably even a bit stronger. That's another reason why a radar should should not be mounted on a antenna arch aft of the cockpit. With the 15 degrees down most accommodation lies in the field. Apart from that the range also becomes better when it's mounted in the mast like yours.

[@WEsail]

Wow we see an alarming number of boats (mostly monohulls) with radars set on the aft arch as you just mentined- eek!

@@WEsail oh its probably a mix of inexperienced nervous nellies, but also bad experiences from riggers and veterans like yourself. Not the strength but the insecurity of those soft shackles.
