When in Doubt, Read the Manual (Beginner Sailing Edition) - Episode 63

[@leehoffman3604]

In a world locked in so much chaos, it is wonderful to watch your kids having so much fun, tackling the adventure, and treating each other with so much respect. Keep sailing. Fair winds.

I like them because their video's are raw, real down to earth peeps.

[@arottie4097]

WOW! Looks like a whole bunch of fun too me! Thanx for the share. ;)

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers josh

This old sea dog loves you two. Your learning curve is sharp and your physical skills superb. I hope you get to share at least the 45 years my Mermaid and I sailed the oceans blue. One thing I can tell you of the future. Every time you go to Sea you will learn something new and face new challenges. After 12 ocean crossings, my last was the most challenging. Thanks for sharing your moments with us.

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey mate Josh here! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and feelings with us. Sounds like a great life! We are always open to learning and always do learn from the ocean! Cheers my friend

Lots of views, not many likes. Come on everyone, give these guys a break. You can see they are doing their best and showing us the story, warts and all. Let's make them famous!

Not to be a nerd, but 1) we don’t mind amateur go pro work, it’s refreshing in a world of overproduced KZbin videos. 2) petroleum is produced by a natural interaction between the core and the mantle of the earth, along with water. It’s not finite in any way, it’s not decayed biological material. 3) you’re wonderful sailors, and we all love you both so much! And Sonia as well!

[@patraic5241]

That's right. Petroleum is created in a deep Earth process. Not a true fossil fuel like coal.

Another great video, good music in the background. Love them all.

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Thanks heaps for the comment letting us know! So stoked you’re digging them. Cheers! Josh :)

Well done on awesome communication and team work.

Gorgeous mermaid with sapphire eyes and a beautiful green top shirt and spectacular angle. Merry Christmas from OsoYolo, Antigua Guatemala.

I officially am looking at boats to buy! You inspired me to go small, and go now! The idea of trying to save up to get the best boat possible was going to prevent me from getting out there for years! However, seeing how well you all do it being novice sailors on a small boat and how much fun you are having has me going ahead and live that dream! Plus the sooner I get out there and live on the boat, the sooner I will get rid of my bills on land and can save up to get a better boat as I learn and have the time of my life! So thank you

[@MISCIFMAKER]

I hear that , turn key search never ending, older the better , one or two owner boat used regular over 27 ft pass sail inspection with today navigation , silo sail around all oceans . Happy hunting. GOOD DEAL OUT HEAR . N PACIFIC where I'd like to start my sailing season.

[@EnriqueDeQuesada101]

It was a great experience!! ❤❤❤

Glad you liked it! Cheers Josh

Great video guys keep them coming

The car jib position controls TWIST in the sail. Ideally all the tell tales will be streaming aft. You can adjust the car position to achieve this, at least upwind of a beam reach. Below that the sail is stalled. Especially upwind this makes a big difference to height, speed and leeway. In general a tight leach gives height so you point higher, and a loose leach (more twist) gives more speed but less height. This is an oversimplification but in general terms its true and also applies to the main. Twist can be used to depower the sails a little when its windy. On my boat easing the mainsheet a little to give the correct twist can give me an extra two knots through the water at times. There has never been a poor Adams design. That boat will do everything right if you let it. And your sails are shot.😊

[@DanFerrantelli]

You two are a joy to watch! There is an amazing spirit in your approach to sailing and life as you try new things and learn on your journey towards experience.

[@dwight_klaus2981]

😁 Nice episode. Good fun!

[@georgebarber1343]

Hoods are nice for keeping rain from going down your back, but nothing beats a sou’wester for being able to feel the wind on your face , and having an unobstructed view. Think about getting one for each of you next time you’re in a chandlery

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey George we would froth some good wet weather gear but being super budget doesn’t allow us to drop 1K to get us both set up! You either have the $$ and no time or time and no $$. I’d rather be rich in time every day! 😁 Josh

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Ps all our wet weather gear so far has been second hand but we have learned that the waterproof lining breaks down on the seams, it sucks!

[@delaray7]

Doing so well. Not amatuer as you say, far from it. Love watching you,. drama or not. Please can you find some islands with goats on? Watching Phoebe having a row with them was great. She sounded pretty convincing, too! Funniest telly I've seen for a long time! Keep safe please and Good🍀Luck.

[@daveamies5031]

Autohelm's are great for inland waterway's under motor where you need to stick to the channel, but for ocean passages under sail what you want is a wind vane, this should be the top of your list of things for next season, whether you buy one or DIY one.

[@GreatOutDoorWorldofMines]

We really like practicing heaving to. We do that a lot just to basically pause if we want to. I sometimes heaveto to pee or grab something while single handing when I dont want to keep moving. It's the first step when a hat flies overboard or when we hook a big fish, and we are both confident we could save eachother with just sails and know how to get the boat under control and stopped immediately even in strong wind and it's not even a big deal. we have roller furling though.

[@stevecrombie5357]

Wonderful. Due to the international date line I believe this was posted on the 10th. But I may not know exactly where the date line is. Either way, the 10th is my birthday and I am 49 years older then Pheobe. And I don't know how that happened. Old enough to be your grandpa. And I love watching you two get to enjoy this amazing adventure. Thanks for the joy in this one and the soup looked excellent. Stay safe. ❤🙏

[@davidbamford4721]

I thought that you might go for The Big Adventure (all the way around) but that can wait until you have more experience). Instead it was There and Back. (To see how far it is).

[@andy050778]

Another good vlog ladies and gents. You might have to keep your leg's closed when you're behind the wheel, YT might find it erotic!!!!!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂

[@Patty-kf4rv]

Did I miss something why the return home 🤔

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

As beginners we know that cruising in the tropics is seasonal, some opt to stay over the wet season and many head into latitudes not affected by cyclones. We thought that would be the best option for us this year! Cheers :) Josh
