What is BOAT LIFE like in the VIRGIN ISLANDS ? | 111 | Beau and Brandy Sailing

[@chgofdsteve]

Nailed it again!! Great stuff, you three!!

[@friarfox]

Kicking it with that hat Brandy letting your hair down. Now we need Beau in a dew rag and we get Pirates of Granada. Try baiting the hook with tartar sauce and see if that works. Fair winds guys.

[@TraumaSurvivorCynthia]

Thumbs up #94 for Beau🌊, Brandy🎀 and Oona🐾.⛵ The mooring ball looks like Wilson🏐 from the movie Castaway!! Lol🏝 #davesandersstepdaughter 🦋

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Nice underwater filming guys. Love it and the sound track. Thank you for sharing another nice day in Paradise. Take care and have fun.

[@fjtorrestv]

Hi, Puerto Rico is ready to welcome all boats... 😉

[@380Scania]

Great underwater shots guys. Loved the sleeping shark shot and the corals

[@f5debris]

That was great footage....

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks Greg! That sleepy shark was sooooo awesome. Love seeing those guys around.

[@darinbarnes2951]

Beautiful! Wish I was there!

[@klouism1]

⛵ Thanks for the video.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

You keep watchin’ we will keep makin’ them 🎉

[@toddabrahamsson1797]

Beau & Brandy, I love your videos you both are always so up for anything. You both are always so happy. Keep up the great videos, good luck on the passage to Grenada.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thank you so much Todd! We really appreciate it!

[@herbm8709]

Once again the underwater footage rocked! The music fits the footage and I found myself holding my breath! Keep them coming and stay safe!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks Herb!

[@Michael-vo8db]

I know Megan's Bay is in this video. What other bays are you in? Great channel! One of our faves!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks mike! So far we have been to red hook and lovango. we really love it here. How to see more of St. John too. And st croix.

[@rainfinger]

The Grenadines get occassional hurricanes, suggesting Bocas del Toro, Panama. It is 100% out of the zone, and an easy downwind sail from the V.I.

[@badcat4707]

Sounds like Jiminny the cricket is thrilled to be going to Grenada !! ;-)

[@russellegge9006]

At 11:00 when you said it was only a 2-hour sail the theme song from Gilligans Island popped into my head.

[@djurodjurakaruci6773]

Beau you've got to be in a stealth mode when youre spear fishing, try to be 'part' of the rock and wait, once the fish is near and in range, you shoot :D Dont follow the fish to obviously, no quick movements.. 18:18 Beau is cool like Harry Belafonte 😂hehe (Brandy you cool to :D) See you soon!

[@qballsadventures4952]

9 more months till I'm out at sea I hope to meet you all and hang out me and my wife are excited we can't wait

[@BeauAndBrandy]

🙌🙌🙌🙌 come on!! see y’all out here!

[@mariemorrissey9378]

Sometimes it is easy to make lemonade out of lemons! 👍👍🐾🐾

[@glmaguire]

Another great video

[@paulsmith3652]

Great video you 2. Enjoyed the snorkelling. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next video.👍

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thank you Paul!!

[@IslandSpirit35]

Great job, as always, I like your underwater clips as they are so peaceful. We are still in STT and Long Cove, Calm is coming and we may move back around to Red Hook in a couple of days.

[@maryetdave]

Wow, really nice spot to be in, much better than being stuck on land during quarantine, keep up the videos it makes us dream of things to come 👍🏼

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks for watching guys!! Yes we are super grateful to be out here for sure! Hopefully one day we will see ya out here!

[@joesharp5602]

I lived in the USVI for nearly five years and I am sure you will like it there. St Croix is very different from St Thomas or St John. Worth the trip because of the different marine life. There are some areas around St Croix that have amazing Sea Horse habitat. Amazing and take a camera with a macro lens for some worthwhile pics. Enjoy,,, Joe

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Oh YES! We have plans to get to st croix and see hose sea horses!! Haven’t seen one in the water yet! Bucket list for sure.

[@f5debris]

My son is still laughing about the pom pom and catching a cheerleader...He said he can't wait for the next episode to see Beau try to reel it in...lol

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Haha! That would be hilarious 😂

[@alejandrovanags4948]

Really nice underwater footage. Go around St Thomas it will be nice to see the anchorages

[@rons9197]

Glad you are heading South the season is upon us. Should be interesting in Grenada. Peace

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thank you! We sure have our positive vibes on for a cool and calm season there.

[@mikebatterham4970]

If you put your hand or foot in a large plastic bag when you put on your wet suit it’s way easier

[@djurodjurakaruci6773]

hey the two are back!! good to know youre staying healthy!!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thank you so much!!

[@jpiz224]

Man it's so peaceful down there.

[@GS-kx1ys]

Down there? n Naw, they are at least 6000 Km north of here! Loving perpetual summa!

[@vallond1973]

Hi You Two!! Best luck and well wishes with your journey to Grenada. You made mention of Curacao as a possible destination?? With Hurricane Season being in its early days, you may want to give a lot of consideration to Curacao (and the other islands in the ABC group)as it is located well below the hurricane belt. If a hurricane passes near the worst that they will experience is a lot of rain, lot more wind and rough water. Being on Curacao will put you in close sailing to Aruba and Bonaire. Keep up the great work with your videos. And thanks!!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Hey! Yes we would love to visit the ABCs for the hurricane season , but at the moment the A & B are closed and C is under 14 days of quarantine on land at your own expense and we have friends that have done it. It’s expensive.

[@markzelinski4434]

Love you both! Makes me wanna go back to the Caribbean stat! Shout out from Chicago

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Hey Mark!! Shout out to chi town, sending some Caribbean vibes 🌴☀️

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

On Grenada a lot of unused charter boats have been placed in hurricane holes, to make room for the flotilla of boats coming to Grenada. Don't know if you are underway or already there but Grenada would be where I wanna go.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Yes we are in the works to go to Grenada. We spent last season there and really enjoyed it.

[@captainbob406]

You guys are cool! Love your vids. Beau, have Brandy head up when you raise the sails. Unless you really want a work out! lol Stay safe!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

I think she likes to give me a workout on purpose 🤣💪

[@TheAtma50]

Hi Guys, was it goodbye mooring ball or goodbye Wilson ? maybe they could be first cousins and what kind of trouble will you be in for your Cheerleader joke but it was a good one !! Keep them coming Guys, Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

🤣😂

[@billregan1981]

Beautiful water! What watermaker set up do you have?

[@adi19671129]

Whenever will you sail down to Grenada.... Just stay safe !

[@BeauAndBrandy]

We sure will!! Thank you!

[@otroargentinocamioneroenes5805]

I like you guys one of my favorite channel!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

HEY!! What a FANTASTIC compliment!!

[@sailingsomeday5975]

wow....i dont think i would ever leave....

[@Q-ey2jk]

And the video was lovely

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks Tony!

[@nomadrver2069]

love it

[@jessejamison3994]

Where can I get a book on how too fold a sail on deck. We watched the video’s. Thanks

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Not sure about that 😬

[@bradstultz4894]

Just curious why you all don’t take small sting rays for meat as well. I’ve watched from beginning of ur channel plus sailing uma and project Atticus all from beginning. At least it’s a good white meat in Tampa Bay Area. Almost a flavor of shark or scallops to me. Just curious.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

just a personal preference 🙌 thanks for watching all the way from the beginning!!

[@snapstring3134]

👍

[@bmwchefbmw]

I noticed that you have a spear gun in the USVI, but know they are illegal in the Bahamas. Can you carry it with you through the Bahamas, or did you have to buy one in the USVI?? How do you juggle that with customs?

[@BeauAndBrandy]

We actually didn’t have it in the Bahamas. Picked one up in Grenada. Some places you just have to claim it. Haven’t had an issue with it at all.

[@jojoerider5828]

How often do you wash your boat down with freshwater? Only after traveling or every day?

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Pretty much fresh water wash down only happens when it rains.

[@MythosGandaar]

ayy MSI gaming

[@frankrice5364]

You guys worry about the storms

[@Q-ey2jk]

In do you take precautions

[@jpiz224]

Heyyyy

[@kennethmiller6158]

Water maker sound like its gonna throw a rod

[@roncanizares9966]

What is your autopilot? Clearly this item will be important if you sail non-stop to Grenada from the USVIs.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

We don’t have an autopilot at the moment. We have sailed 1.5 years so far without one. Should be getting one soon though. Will make the sail to Grenada easier for sure!

[@roncanizares9966]

You likely did not sail long, non-stop distances in the past 1.5 years, so if you have big adventures planned then a good autopilot will be essential for sailing double handed. I'd recommend a good (used if possible) wind vane. The harder it blows, the better they steer. A "wheel pilot" won't cut it is big weather, and a below deck unit will be just as expensive as a wind vane, will eat energy big time and be more likely to fail.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

We have done 6- 9 day passages more than once, including our sail from PR to Grenada last seasons Being all electric a wind vane would be ideal. It’s not in the budget at the moment though. A friend is sending us an auto pilot. So hopefully we can used that until we can get a wind vane, if not we will hand steer.

[@roncanizares9966]

Wow! 6-9 day non-stop passages hand steering for two people is a real challenge. I'm not sure if I should say: "Good for you guys" or "You guys need to see a mental health professional". Hope you get an autopilot soon!

[@kennethmiller6158]

You need to roller furler

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Would that be nice. It’s on the wish list.

[@louisianasaltwater405]

Too many ads. 6 this time. Not pop up ads but video ads.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Unfortunately we don’t control the ads, KZbin does that. Sorry they put so many on it. Hopefully next time you won’t even see them! Thanks for hanging with us. ✨

[@Q-ey2jk]

Do you ever worry about sharks

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

Why worries about those amazing creatures? There are only a handful considered dangerous and even those sharks only attack humans when they are really hungry. But most times by mistake because they don't really like the taste of human.

[@DougVarble]

I have to agree with the Dutch Globetrotter, very few sharks to even worry about in most places, but I live in STL

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

@@DougVarble Please enlighten me where is STL?

[@BeauAndBrandy]

No, not unless we are spearing. We haven’t really seen any bigger sharks here. Just nurse sharks and reef sharks. They tend to keep their distance.
