Glad you liked it! Are you looking to get a downwind sail?

Thank you for the comment. Definitely come by, if you see us in Newfie.

@ we have many videos about sailing Newfoundland - th-cam.com/play/PLn4U12S5EkhRBDfJNMPTiOfOR51Qs80Ls.html&si=qdKdVCYDYKKkFa_R

Our pleasure! See you there ?

The North Atlantic in December is hardcore - Which route & Stops from the Azores to Cape Town ?

Yes, very sad - a Preventer is a must. Check out this YT - very interesting th-cam.com/video/RQiz2c4iGgI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zxb1fZC0PbdOdy_F

Glad you found the video useful and took time to comment / let us know. The Viking Route is a very cool adventure - surprised not many boats are doing it. There is a group on FB "Viking route" check there for crewing opportunities - Hope you find a yacht

@@Saga47swanSailing Thanks for the info, I'll look for that group!

Hi Jim , Happy you found the video interesting, thanks for watching and the comment. Please note that Newfoundland is pronounced "new fin land", took me by surprise too. - was taught be a Newfie!

@@ml50486965 yes, that’s how Newfoundland is pronounced. Took me by surprise too .

@@Saga47swanSailing Tak for svaret!

Next time! we will be in St John's this summer, so come by for a chat. Pleased you enjoyed the video.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking time to watch it and comment.

@@yamabiru4553 thank you

Welcome aboard! Happy you enjoyed the video - Where in Newfoundland are you based ?

Glad it was helpful! - Welcome aboard, Don't hesitate to reach out, if you have any questions - Did you check out our YT "The Northern route to Europe" ?

Coppercoat - no worries for 10 years. You could meet us in Azores end of May. Terceira has a great safe anchorage.

You are most welcome - Thank you for the feedback. Do you have a weather related topic that you would me to make into a "bite" ?

Thanks for watching! and so pleased you liked - Thank for letting me know, Captain - see you there ?

Cool - Glad you found the video useful. Thanks for commenting. See you there ...

Danke sehr for tor the comment. Will we see you there this summer?

@ I am afraid, not before 2029. You will rather find me fly fishing for sea trout in DK.

Dear Renaud, Thank for the feedback - very happy that you liked the video and it made you consider the Northern route via Nova Scotia. I dont see an issue taking a Multi hull back to Europe via NS & Newfoundland. As with all passage making, you need to make sure that you have time to wait for a good weather window, being on a tight schedule may get you into trouble. I take your question / concern is the sea state. There is plenty of fjords and bay in Newfoundland that you can explore / wait in until you get weather window with calm seas as per your comfort. The passage to Azores is "just" 1200 nm, so you just need a 4-5 days good run, then you are closer to the Azores / Azores high with is usually has calm seas. ( You can get blow here too, so keep a eye on the lows coming from US). I am working on next YT video, which will cover the northern route in more details, incl some recommendations on exploring NS & Newfie - should be out soon. Don't hesitate to contact us, if you have any questions. Contact details in the Bio.

@@Saga47swanSailing fully agree , safe sailing is always about waiting for the perfect weather window

Du er welcommen ;) Happy you liked it

Just testing if people are not asleep ;) Happy you found the video useful - Thank you for watching and taking time to comment

Glad you enjoyed it! and thanks for letting us know.

Thank you - Top net ;)

@sailorcaspar you did indeed:) Hope the rest of the video was “clear as mud” ;)

Thanks - Do what you love and you dont have to work ;)

Cool, thanks! Thanks for awesome feedback - very encouraging. Predicting weather from visual clue is very powerful skill to have. I am working on cover this too, but it is not easy to make it into a chewable bite ;)

Happy new year! - Thanks for the comment and that you enjoyed the video.

Shall include "the Simson" in the "Forecasting weather from Clouds" bite. Thanks for the Comment - very happy you liked it.

Great - Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.

Verry happy that you found the video helpful. Thanks for letting us know.

Hi Akrim, That is a very good and a huge topic. Most sailor, novices to experienced rely on Data , grib file and weather routing software. If you are at sea , offshore , and your internet stop working, then a good understanding of weather , forecasting from clouds, change barometric pressure and shifting wind direction , can tell where you are in relation to an incoming depression, and if you need to prepare for a blow. I shall endeavor to make topics like getting gribfile offshore, , weather offshore, weather routing into "bite" size videos. Thanks for your good topic suggestion and taking time to let us know you found the video helpful. see you at the high seas

Plus 1. :)

Can't hide the viking accent

You are so welcome. Thanks for the comment

That's awesome - we look forward to hear how the crossings are going. Will you take the northern route via NS & Newfoundland back to Europe? We are very happy that you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching and letting us know. see you at the high seas

, I think I’d like to try them both at some point. I think the northern route would be more scenic. As long as it was not too cold and the ocean, too rough. It would also allow me to do the trip in stages. Like take the boat to Boston fly home and work for a week and then take it to Newfoundland and do the same and then take it to the Azores and do the same. At this point in my life, it’s not easy to just take a month or two off all at once. Thank you for your wonderful video

Hi Nick, Thanks for taking time to let us know that found the video informative.

Ja, Jeg er dansk;) Yes, fra Snekkersten, where I started sailing at age 6.

That's a really good question. I am working on the next video in a serie of "how to master". When you say" go to northern europa" do you mean from the Caribbean ?

@ well, I could imagine 3 starting points. Central Caribbean, Florida, NY

Noted. I will cover US east coast to Europe in the next video.

An Atlantic ocean circuit is a real bucket list adventure - Follow your dreams Thanks for watching the video and taking time to comment - very happy that you liked it.

Absolutely :) So many people found this video helpful, which is very encouraging for me to share our experiences and routing tips.

Glad you liked it - you are most welcome. Thanks for letting me know

sweet - So pleased that you found the video helpful & Informative. Thanks for the comment

Please you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment. We will be coming to Newfoundland in June 2025. Going around the north coast to Madeleine Islands and PWE. Any cruising information, your best anchorages and must stop overs, will appreciated. Planning to go to Nova scotia (Halifax) via the Strait of Canso, not exploring Bras D'Or Lake. Hope to meet you in an anchorage for a wee dram and swapping of tales.

@ If you arrive in Madeleine Islands during during lobster season keep a very sharp lobster pot lookout and be careful as some of the lobster markers have line stringing multiple pots together. The Marina and village at Harve Albert was wonderful, entrance is narrow but very navigable, note the isophase light at Pointe a Fox to guide you through the channel to YK22. I sailed around the island of Ile Dentree, as beautiful as the island is the fishing fleet was NOT pleased with my rounding the western side. Recommend the pass between Sandy Hook and Ile Dentree:-). We stopped in Port Hawkesbury after the Canso Lock, nice marine. In PEI we stopped in at Souris Marina, they were undergoing installation of new floating docks friendly staff. I would be careful if dropping anchor during the lobster session. The fisherman make the waters choppy to tell you to find another spot. IF you do decide to go into Bras D’or, phone hours ahead to the Burnt Point Bridge to make sure it’s working. Safe travels.

@@Lawrence_writer Happy that you liked it. Thanks for taking the time to time to watch it and letting us know you liked it .

You're welcome! thanks for taking time to watch and comment

Yes, it is a very viable option - It called the viking route and is an epic adventure. The longest passages are about 600 nm - Labrador to greenland & Greenland to Iceland. One would cross in July - Spending 3-4 months sailing Greenland - Iceland - Faroe - Shetland. You could winter in Scotland, then spend next season exploring the west coast of Norway. Follow your dreams

@@Saga47swanSailing Thanks!

Det var saa lidt;) Pleased you found it useful and informative. Thanks for the comment

Absolutely and I should have made mentioned it in the video. Due to the warm gulfstream, one gets a lot of fog in the spring and early summer in NS & Newfie - Having a radar is a must. That said, we cruised from end of may to end of July and only had the odd day of fog, quite a few mornings were foggy, but it would clear before lunch. Good point - Thanks for taking time to watch and comment

@@Saga47swanSailing having sailed there without radar I’d agree with you!

Noted, thanks - I just got a new microphone and is not used to the settings. Did you enjoy the content of the video?

@@Saga47swanSailing Yes
