[@WEsail]

Same here, Welcome to WE|Sail Mike! Thanks for watching

[@marcstefan5780]

Very nice video

[@peterfrebold]

..... that sure was quite the eventful , what was it three days and two transits, well three with the train .... looks like you made the most of it and had fun .... think it was the next video where you had a ton of excitement fishing .. wowzers .... sorta was wondering if you could have used a net and just dipped it beside the boat .. anyhow quite amazing to say the least .... thx for sharing a peek into your adventures ..... never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .... have fun be safe, save our oceans .......

[@WEsail]

Hey there Peter, thanks for watching and thanks for your comment. The transit from the first passage to ours was 4 days total, but we did spend time in the city before getting back to our boat right away. The train was super cool and a great way to get from one coast to the next! We so totally could have used a net or even a gaff, but sometimes we just get so excited and Warren thinks he can catch fish with his bare hands.

[@peterfrebold]

@@WEsail ...... chuckling ..... does Warren think he is a fish whisperer ..... I hear tickling their bellies is key .....

[@WEsail]

@@peterfrebold might have to give that a try, but I usually catch and then warren releases...mostly on accident! hahaha

[@peterfrebold]

@@WEsail ..... you had pretty good success with the gaf when your Dad was there .... remember when I was a wee tyke going fishing with my Dad off of Vancouver Island and a fish would not get lifted out by the line, that was a big No No, they were always lifted out with either the gaf or the net ... that has always stuck in my mind .... Laughing .... catch and release, it is always the ones you don't want that the hook does not come out ....

[@kevinbuggie3808]

Nice video and commentary. Surprising you guys dont get more views, your putting out videos on par with channels with many times the viewers. Great image quality but a good mic with dead cat on all cameras would help maybe

[@WEsail]

Thanks so much Kevin! That's really a super nice comment. WE have been working hard on making our videos better and better and trying to grow our channel. Still new so maybe that's why but feels great that you think we are par with the others out there! WE certainly are always trying to improve and the sound quality is one we have nailed just yet! WE have a dead cat but sometimes we end up using the phone or the gopro

[@secondstartotheright]

That was awesome !!! Did you guys see sailing waveriders on the pacific side?

[@WEsail]

Thanks guys! No we didn't, what boat do they have? We were able to cruise a bit with Parley Revival for a bit which was fun!

[@secondstartotheright]

@@WEsail they have a lagoon 450 and a youtube channel too. I use to work with Andrew and now he's living the dream like you guy! They also met parley revival and ocean fox

[@flybird141]

Very Cool in one day. I saw the camera and it looked like a 60D but what was that lens? It looked very large in size.

[@WEsail]

THanks! Its a 5D camera, the lens is a 14-35 I think... Its pretty hefty, and so is the added battery pack. Makes for hard blogging sometimes. Looking to get a smaller vlogging camera, my left arm it a bit bulgier than the right!

[@ski69]

Subscribed......Question? OK.....the blue lines you guys were tied up to in the canal...are they yours or did they provide them? Also, wish you (everyone with sailing/traveling channels) would post how much everything cost? I understand the prices change, but at least it would be a great base to judge to make own plans in the future ;) I would love to know how much it was so hire an adviser, how much for the passage with your 41' cat...how much for the hired deckhand....how much gallon of diesel....did you tip anyone for their help and expertise? Sorry, I know it's alot of questions. To you might be an everyday life, to some or most of us following you is a dream and wishful thinking....it would be nice just to know maybe how much longer we have to save to maybe run into to one day? ;) Love your travels and the way you film/shoot.....Keep em coming!!!!

[@WEsail]

Wow thanks for a great message, questions are always welcome so here we go- yes they were provided along with the buoys, it was part of a package we paid for with the agent we hired (sorry I hear ya about prices- we always wondered when we were beginning this dream while watching other sailing channels LOL, and I was sure we included prices and details in the video?? If not than I’m SURE we put additional information in the description!) I remember paying right at $2500 for everything (Minus fuel, food, marina stays, etc) and I am sure that it was right at $500 for the so the canal passage was $2000... we had to hire one line handler so that’s $100, diesel is usually $4-5/gal, and ya we tipped our “pilot”, not required by any means but he was awesome... really hope that helps, anything else feel free to email us directly [e-mail]

[@ski69]

That was fast!! Thank you sooo much for this info, that's gold in itself.... Again, thank you.

[@meganstorm8393]

Very cool. What happened to Sam? Love the help sporting the Le Ski Lab shwag

[@WEsail]

Sam went on to a bigger boat! Haha. He is a dive medic for a big beautiful expedition yacht, but we hope to see him soon. Old school swag for sure!

[@familyupgrade]

I dreamt about yall the other week, after the last episode(full moon does that to me). It was a pain in the butt. SO many cameras and stuff.

[@WEsail]

WE|SAIL dreamin!!!! Right on. Full moon do the same to me too (Erica) Oh cameras, go pros, phones mounted everywhere! It was like an Easter egg hunt when we finished, just hoped we found them all!

[@mutestyles]

Was that a Gunboat in front of you guys at the second locks?

[@VIDEOAC3D]

That's what I was going to ask lol.

[@WEsail]

I think it was an HH. It was called SV Moondoggie. Not sure if it was a gunboat, but either way it was BEAUTIFUL!

[@VIDEOAC3D]

Just slightly out of my budget.... :( lol

[@VIDEOAC3D]

Ahh, I thought the name was familiar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z32ZpqavbrOfbc0

[@francook9871]

Did y'all have to rent those special orange bulbous floats for the sides of the boat?

[@WEsail]

Yep but luckily they were provided by our agent that we elected to hire!

[@robertlaird6746]

What type of catamaran was that in front of you in the last lock just before the Pacific?

[@WEsail]

Hi sorry for the lag in response- ya she was absolutely beautiful, we are sure she was a Gunboat

[@fitoparedes232]

You guys back to Guatemala for Pacific Ocean.

[@WEsail]

Not going back to Guatemala on the pacific side unfortunately. WE couldnt because of the COVID lockdown. Sad, but we will come back to your beautiful country!

[@mrdave22]

you made it through in one day, twice in a week, so, you think you're better than me?? huh?? good vid guys, keep posting more subscribers will join your floating party. thumbs up

[@WEsail]

Naw not better than you DAVID! Never! Thanks bud for watching. We are getting there thats for sure and loving every moment! Cheers buddy!

[@AmyBethHerman]

I hear you are in Grand County!! Would LOVE to meet you as it would certainly fulfill a dream of my husband to nerd out over a drink with you two about sailing around the world on a cat! Sent you an Instagram message!
