[@cbthomas9577]

Your videos have soul! Honesty and a purity that is second to none.

[@Afraidinct]

good to see you back out there, billy and seirra are ver7y good people they will watch your back

[@johnswanson6994]

My favorite sailing vloggers on KZbin: Wes, Kate and Lola. You guys are so chill and genuine. I feel like I could easily hang out with you. You inspire me to one day make the leap and buy a sailboat.

[@soving]

"Putting people on the news" is the best. Fresh vid, great music and eats, spirits high :) wtg.

[@beachbum333]

You are getting good on the conch. Fair winds. Stay safe. Stay happy. Peace.

[@dww0013]

Come on. We need a video. We hung in there with you guys through all the other stuff, and now that you have a nice new boat...umm. Well. Just miss all the excitement. You were one of my first sailing subscriptions. Hope all is well.

[@tamaskiss1930]

Cant wait till you guys get back to them beautiful blue waters. Been a while.

[@WickedSalty]

Can't wait!

[@nssdesigns]

[@teddyjohnson7863]

[@kennethzielinski6233]

My bucket list trip: around Manhattan with a side trip to Perth Amboy, NJ. Safe trip home...

[@UnknownPreacher2]

Hello wes and Kate. I enjoy your videos. I watch a lot of sailing videos. All the information they put out is great, but what I enjoy most is the sailing part. Getting to see the Atlantic and different ports and the people. Good job keep the videos coming. Happy sailing. 😎

[@WickedSalty]

Thank you so much!

[@ParisBosserman]

if you guys made a daily vlog, ID TOTALLY WATCH IT! you guys are gems, so much love for ya! Come to LA and ill take you out on my Newport 28!

[@sc1212able]

I must of missed a bunch of your videos, you guys have a different boat now, Kate's food looks really yummy, we are off the water for awhile, bought a new motor home and took it to Alaska for the summer, We sold are Privilege 615 catamaran, my girlfriend was offered a teaching position at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, so we well be living in Nashville for 9 months and 3 months in Key West, we did buy another sailboat, she is a Dana 24, we are only on her for 3 months during the summer, so its fits are needs just fine, very pretty boat, lots of teak, huge and spacious cabin, very blue water capable, very easy to sail.

[@martinmcquaide4807]

Glad the rudder is holding up, good progress. Give a mechanical work update on boat projects. Keep up the good work!

[@WickedSalty]

held up well! now we're fixing it before continuing on. Thank you!

[@johncollins2038]

Stonington, CT is one of my favorite places!

[@SailingPauHana]

Been looking forward to seeing your next vid. Thanks for posting

[@EmptyNestOutdoors]

Awesome! Sorry I missed you guys, I work on LBI. Up in Barnegat Light checking out sailboats during my lunch breaks all the time, heck I might have even seen your boats and didn't know it. Fair Winds!

[@ryanreighn8690]

Where did dock the dinghy at Barnegat Light? Van's? Heading there in a few weeks and want to go ashore for dinner.

[@jessereedpaintingsvmatador7009]

I worked at the house on the island at 5:44 Its North Dumpling Island.. Cheers and Fairwinds, come up to Maine !

[@allynonderdonk7577]

Woo Hoo a new view!! I didn't know Lola had her own Instagram. I have to check that out!!

[@Jakfilm]

[@johnnukecop]

Great to see my two favorite sailing vloggers together again! But a team member is missing . . . where is Jetty?

[@gregpallett1839]

It’s like the wonder twins unite and combine powers for extra awesomeness!

[@TheMorganMonroeShow]

[@pretzel9000]

[@shipskepr1]

ah stonington I love that place

[@bobbygee5334]

I love watching you kids do what I could have done...should have done ..40..ok 50 years ago

[@gogs1468]

Great video, thinks it time to get an anchor winch,

[@R.E.HILL_]

What's up, saving up for new adventures, or did life in general keep you guys away from the cruising lifestyle?

[@johnnyohness]

You should post your friends Sunset Run's link...would like to follow them.

[@jwrappuhn71]

Good vid ya'll.

[@AlsinoFerreira]

awesome guys :-)

[@scottstevens5628]

Awesome, going up the Hudson?

[@reelchaoscharters3605]

Wish I New you guys were in Barnegat.. would have taken you guys out for dinner on LBI.. next time

[@timerickson2141]

Dude your screwed lmao. When Kate screamed there is the rainbow she sounded just like woolowitz's mother from THE BIG BANG THERORY. I DAM NEAR PISSED MYSELF LAUGHING

[@barbiesboats4522]

I'm just wondering why you just didn't keep your original Ericson 30 plus. That was a good boat and you would have avoided all the problems.

[@expresscruiserlife]

8:03 Next on your shopping list: Windlass

[@billkimbell6190]

[@SVImpavidus]

Nice Vid guys. Ant & Cid xx

[@TedMcCaleb]

good job with the edit

[@raynic1173]

Hey, good to see your proceeding north to your destination. What did you guys do about the rudder shaft slop? In the last vid. comments you made note that you bought a repair kit and washers, did you get it squared away? Also, I'm sorry you didn't have any NYC east river and 'Hells gate" footage, that cant get pretty gnarly if you catch the tides wrong. Anyway, cheers.

[@WickedSalty]

We just hauled her out and were dropping the rudder, getting rid of the growth whatever is in the tube and waxing the shaft and applying the epoxy kit. Taking care of it now!

[@rickt1866]

you can't mount the cam and hit record ? two three different cams should cover the whole boat??

[@MichaelRankin70ad]

1:32 there is a really nice 46ft Nordhavn....

[@sailinstyle]

Nordhavn 46 under the rainbow at 1:32

[@Sailboatstory]

I think I might just change our channel name to "Wicked Sloppy". -B

[@rickt1866]

this ch is all about what not to do..

[@moejaime2654]

No videos in two weeks guys !! ?? Are you still floating ?

[@wkw4095]

Wicked Salty, I could be doing this trip soon from Hampton VA. back home to the Hudson River ( Haverstraw Bay). Maybe you can help me. Due to it being a "new to me boat" I may have to avoid the outside passage and go up the entire Chesapeake Bay from Hampton VA. , C&D, down the deleware to Cape May and then to Atlantic City. If I can include Barnegate after Atlantic City, this would make the passage much better. Is Barnegate bay a better option than Manasquan inlet??? Is a draft of 4'10" an issue entering the Barnegate bay??? hELp :/

[@WickedSalty]

Barnegat is not that bad just follow the marks and favor that starboard side once you are in the breakwater. If its rough out I would watch out for opposing current and wind direction, I feel it was a mild day leaving but the wind was against us riding out with the current and the waves got steep and short and was hectic on shoaling but not a problem. We've been through on Parity which was a 5' 7" draft and now whisper 4' 10" we have not been to manesquan so I cannot say much on it

[@wkw4095]

Thanks! I will look at active captain too although it's not as good as it was. Reading reviews and forums can make Barnegate sound scary! Don't you have a 3'10" draft on your Catalina 30???

[@unclebob6728]

Re: 4'10" Draft on Barnegat Bay. You should be alright, if you understand and pay attention to the markers and stay in the sometimes narrow channels. The section on the north end between the Mantaloking Bridge and Bay Head can shoal up to under 5'. The bottom is generally mud or sand and is very forgiving. a grounding rarely does any damage, just back out. Oyster Creek Channel can be intimidating in low visibility when you can't see the next mark. Pre GPS I would wait at a channel marker and follow a big sport fisherman to the next marker. Entering Mansquan inlet can be dangerous in heavy weather esp. during weather from the NE. Both Barnegat and Manesquan can be turbulent with washing machine seas when the wind and tide oppose. The Manesquan railroad bridge is very narrow and can be scary when the boat traffic is heavy and the current sweeping you into it. Good Luck on your cruise!

[@chrisobrien5103]

I just did a run from Ocean City NJ to Barnegat Bay in October 2019. I went from OC to AC outside and then ducked in through the AC inlet when it got choppy/unpleasant. The ICW from AC to Barnegat Bay (to Oyster Creek channel) was a pleasure (vs going head on wind in ocean!). I have C30 tall rig/old shoal keel with a 4'6" draft and 48 foot mast/antenna and had no issues with bridge clearances or groundings. Stay in the channel and you will be fine. Active captain was useful. I also called towboatus (local) and they were very helpful in giving advice on some specific markers and confirming that part of the ICW would be fine for a C30. BTW-love the wicked salty videos-they are really helpful and entertaining.

[@millzee60]

Wes, you do know a sighting compass isn't for shaving right? :)

[@WickedSalty]

i guess I missed that part in the instruction manual! XD
