Wonderful to see you back online with sailing videos. Really nice and refreshing for a cruising video that allows one to appreciate nature, where the sound of the wind in the sails and the ocean slapping against the hull have not been replaced by music soundtracks. Brings back memories from my sailing from Cape Town to USVI. Thanks John.
Welcome back John, as for the youtube comments on how you do things wrong etc. I just like to say to you that you are doing it your way as many of us who are cruising are. I usually watch channels like yours to learn about destinations, hints and forward planning of where to consider to sail to next. Mind you its been 18 months since we started and we are still in the med.. Thought we would be further in the journey, but so much to see and do if you do not do too much planning and just flow with it. We are back in OZ for the European winter and family things and will head back soon to continue cruising and bouncing / flowing around. Can I ask you what's the biggest change you have experienced so far. to us its that time schedules mean nothing but its all about being in the groove of the environment you are in. The weather, location, people culture. Enjoy .. and keep cruising..
Not kidding at all. Followed you since you bought the Lipari. YOU were the one that convinced me that FP was the best for us. We are going to start our liveaboard later this year. I didn't get an FP, got a Lagoon. I like your channel cause it is about you and sailing. You give good info. Like taking pics of all your docs, and DL them BEFORE departure from the USA (or wherever you are departing from). It is I that thanks you. If you make it here to Dominican Republic, give us a shout.
Awesome Nate....You can not go wrong with Leopard, FP and Lagoon......Good choice with the Lagoon and wish you well....Comments like that make it all worth while doing the videos......
So spoiled with Pats. Grew up in Barnstable and was a big Celtic, Sox and Bruins fan - but B&B are making history! Not sure where in the Bahamas I’m going yet. Maybe start at Bimini and head North ... if the wind will let me - as I’ll be coming over from the Keys.
Fantastic video! Of course you beat us there. Great tips on clearing customs. Made that look easy..even with the bad weather early on and those drone shots well under way..skills. We will be right behind you. Eyeing the next window.
Plan on going from Rodriquez to turtle reef to gun cay possible check in at Cat Cay Yacht Club but I like the way you went. Either way want to head towards the Berries. Next window isn't at least until the 20th. Where do you think you'll be?
Ha, they always tell you that you're doing something wrong. As they sit behind their keyboard in their mom's basement. Keep up the good work! 2 thumbs up!
Enjoyed the video. One thing I can't resist saying though. Please tether your dog. I have my dog aboard and cannot imagine how bad it would suck for him and me if I lost him overboard. Looking forward to your vids. Fair winds. S/V. Sea Dragon
Thats a great point James......Abby is tethered in 70% of the time next to me at the helm or she is in the saloon, but I can do a better job...Sometimes when shooting video it comes across as she is running around freely. Thanks buddy...

"For most people sailing is the destination, for me it's the journey"
Just beautiful!
I would just replace word "sailing" with "life".
TheUglyGnome that’s a good word too.....
You're the best John! No one goes hungry on your boat. Keep up the great work. Cheers, Ted
S/V AIRPOWER I will go to my death with a full belly.
