If the tanker was moving, she would have displayed navigation lights - red on port side, green on starboard, and two white range lights fore and aft. It's very distinctive, and something to look for when radar isn't giving information you need. Sailing near these behemoths is also a case for an AIS receiver, which will give you their course, speed, and closest approach. Good call on timing for the mooring ball. Ordinarily, best time to depart for Avalon would be late morning, so you can sail at least part of the way. Nice job picking up the mooring in Two Harbors.

Thank you for keeping the video simple

Looks like a “Carl Alberg” design sloop… or at least a design influenced by Alberg.

Greetings from a fellow SB channel sailor. I miss Smuggler's, your reward for beating through some nasty weather at times. So pretty back there.

Nice, bro. When were you out there?

Nice job on the mooring, and hats off to the ladies for sticking with it, despite the long hours at sea and sea sickness! Beautiful cinematography with the drone too! I did a couple triathlons there in Catalina. Nice place to chill Have fun!

Was that boat that round around sv Sancerre, aka "Sail Channel Island", Captain Dan Ryder?

where are your spreader lights? cant figure out if theres supposed to be one on each spreader? theres one light in the center of the spreaders that I see but is there also a light on the mast head?

Nice brother! Love the grill 😊.

"Being present in the now" is a concept I have wrestled with in every phase of my life. Nothing could be more important in life than THAT simple sentence. We owe it to our love ones, our friends, those we serve, and most importantly, ourselves. It reminds me of a powerful quote I read online recently: "Beware of Destination Addiction.....a preoccupation with the idea that happiness is in the next place, the next job or with the next partner. Until you give up the idea that happiness is somewhere else, it will never be where you are."

Hey! Awesome video! I noticed you talked about the Sirius DS40, which I've been thinking of as my top pick for a bluewater boat. You mentioned there's a lot of 'give and take' with it-could you elaborate on that? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

The RWB on the can stands for red, white, and blue?

Another fine vid. I’ve said it before but I really enjoy your editing style. The talk about difficulties being present when you are filled with ambition is something I also struggle with and it’s good to know I’m not alone!

7:18 the balance of away and gone to home base is a delicate balance worth maintaining. I have been a traveler for 20+ years. I feel like I'm finally balanced. My homebase is san diego. I have hitched on sailboats more than once along my travels. Living on a sailboat is a beautiful life.

Dude, that was a fine ass ship!

31ft boat

Oops,looks like you didn't win...

I was waiting for the dramatic ending. Music intensifying, waves crashing, torn sail, 50/50 chance we do not make it back to harbor. Then you went to sleep, something we had to fight you to do when you were growing up. Dad

Ohh Jem This Great Sailboat ⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵🌊

Beautiful bay...sounds like it could be a rough ride in bad weather though! Love how you ended the video!

Wish I was there now

Bro you're hilarious nice meeting you!!!

Woohoo! A yingling runner! Lol

Wish you could get a hard top to cover the nav station.

may be it is a safe and extremely seaworthy boat, but hell it has got one ugly interior ....

I have almost zero sailing experience, but I can understand what you are talking about. Thank you.

We had Water Lily in there a few months ago. Great overnight spot. Definitely check out backside like Coaches Prietos or Albert’s - fantastic anchorages.

What a gem of a cove. Could spend a lot of time there lowering the heart rate.

Love the blue blue water

Awesome! I hope to make it up to Santa Cruz Island soon. Thanks for the inspiration.

I live in Fresno and have been sailing Millerton and Huntington Lake my entire life. I've had Catalina 22, 25, and 27 Plus plus an Oday 25 at both lakes. I haven't sailed millerton lake in probable 8 years the new marina looks really nice. I wish it was in there when I was there all the time..

You should play that background music over the boat's stereo every time the seas get rough.🤑

Love the alberg. I bought a 1965 30. I saved money for 17 of the 20 years in the army. Just retired and living on it. In Seattle and next year going across the pacific and eventual circumnavigation. I didn’t know a thing about sailing but knew I wanted to do it. My boat is stable and slow. I could have got newer boat but the alberg was solid and I set it up how I wanted with plenty of money left over to travel. I found that no matter what boat I got I was going to spend money to set up the way I want. It was between alberg and an island packet 27

hey can you tell more about how you are already retired

Coronado 25, best boat

hey I have the same boat trying to get it back together, did your coronado 25 have a mastcap? looks like nothing there but wires, if not how did you attach nav lights to the top of the mast?

D!ck move by that fishing boat waking you. I've rarely done it, but 5 short horn blasts is appropriate when these guys are asleep at the wheel. Curious about your thoughts on the Cape Horn wind vane. They seem to work well and it looks like you guys had it dialed in. I've seen a couple of vids with folks having chafe issues down below... that would make me nervous for long passages!

I just got into sailing this year. I bought a Compac 19 back in March and it's been at Huntington Lake all summer, since the beginning of June. I have to take it out before Labor Day and I'm planning my next adventure for it. Would putting it in Millerton for September through November be a good idea? How is the wind there? At Huntington we are spoiled with a steady westerly wind that goes right down the length of the lake every day like clockwork from 11-7.

I own an old 1989 ip 27 and love it. Taken it on three ocean crossings. If I win the lottery I’ll own one of the new ones

I'll be honest first time watching I herd family I was struggling to identify who was mother and who was daughter, and I couldn't so I watched some more videos and it clicked. Good for you so upfront I missed it. Enjoy your dreams and be free

Get rid of the irritating “music”!!!

I could watch bow waves ALL day! They are so mesmerizing!

Dolphins....I look forward to seeing them on my bow wave!

Great boat, and accurate review except Whitby boat Works is on the north west shore of Lake Ontario, a couple thousand miles from the Atlantic (east) coast.

I am really surprised the entire crew did not mutiny and throw you in the water instead of the champaign.

A very wise disclaimer at the end!

Yay. Nothing can go wrong now. 😬

How many nights in a row can you do it and feel great. That is the question 😊

Soon, you can show me your California waters...hopefully it is warmer than the PNW!

Crealock's sailboats are distilled blue water design philosophy. Overbuilt in every regard, pragmatic everywhere you look. She may not get you there fast, but she'll likely get you there ALIVE, which most sailors would agree is an admirable quality. Nothing is unsinkable, and the roaring 40s will forver swallow ships, but taking a Crealock 40 or 44 around The Horn is a bucket list thing to me, if but I had the money, and cajones.
