- FINALLY, we are off!!! But not having the sunny, nice, warm kind of sail that the Mediterranean promised us. We’re good though. It’s all good training!

This is your best video to date. I like the live action including the trials and tribulations of sailing. Some days sailing I s very Romantic, other days it can be more challenging. You have captured this phenomenon very well. Safe sailing and thank you for sharing your many wonderful experiences.
WOW. great job guys, Ryan and Sophie. and huge props for Sophie recognizing the situation and her excellent cockpit management skills.. well played. defusing stress and keeping the sail as enjoyable as possible. she's definitely a keeper.
Well said ! She’s utterly fabulous. Ryan is a good egg too … but he doesn’t realise how lucky he is to have her !
You're down to earth style and realistic approach is really informative and motivating. I have learned more by watching your direct approach then I have by watching "instructional" videos. Thank you and please keep up the excellent work.
Watching you two is watching real shit happenings love it, nothing staged nothing pre arranged just two people doing everyday ups and downs of sailing.
Thanks Charles! Yep, this is real life, although we wouldn’t be against some postcard sailing one of these days 😆
Great video. Exactly how it can be at sea. Always have some main up to keep the boat stable.🌬⛵😎
Just watched #35 that was a rolling passage.I could tell Ryan was a lil stressed when you left port that morning.The AIS not working probably didn’t help matters either,great handling of the boat Sophie at sea and docking as you came in!!Ive been watching your newer episodes and now are trying to see the older ones you have.I really like your channel and can’t wait to watch more,Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏
A wee tip that works for me... Do not put your foulie trousers inside your boots, the water will run down the material into your boots making your feet wet and cold and it will seep into the rest of you - warm feet, warm soul! Keep the trouser outside the boots and if it is hard to achieve consider some elasticated gaitors to cover the interface between boot bottom and trouser. Not even a wave will fill your boots then.
Also, stating the obvious with hindsight, take some seasick treatment before you leave early on in the season regardless of whether or not you get sick usually - it is just one less thing to worry about - a la Sophie perhaps!
Cheers for sharing the warts and all - great series.
guys live for the moment when they can call out “More power, More power” that capt kirk art imitates life moment. You’re Sailing!!
Ryan is a very lucky man to have such a buoyant crew mate.
Unsinkable Sophie!
I realize I am quite randomly asking but does anybody know a good website to stream newly released movies online?
@David Mark Flixportal =)
@Jasper Saint Thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) Appreciate it !!
@David Mark you are welcome xD
Hi Sophie and Ryan, you have the greatest girl and shipmate any one can ask for, you sound like a grumpy old man, sharpen up and enjoy all moments with such a wonderful partner. You guys are great and do take care of each other end remember every moment in life is precious! Safe sailing :-)
I think this is the most informative and educational video you have made. When I was 13 and sailed my small Sabot sailboat around dreaming of far off adventure. Well at no point did I imagine anyone on board, just me and the sea... far winds
Sailing video of storms are unpleasant for sailors, but as viewer they are fun to watch.
Sometimes it can be fun even for us to sail in different conditions! It’d be nice if we could actually “sail” though 😅 /Sophie
Happy Sailing, well almost. You both have a good attitude regarding the weather conditions. I love the fact that you both wear PFD each and every time you are sailing. Calm seas and sunny weather will soon be with you.
The Mediterranean looks beautiful! Can't wait to get in there, but hope to skip the storm conditions.
It is amazing, and we’re just at its doors. Can’t wait to get to the balearics, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily... but yeah, the weather can get a bit dicey in this neck of the wood :/
Good old Cabo de Gata. Remember the story I told you about trying to make it around that cape at 11:00 PM last end of October beating against 30 knts of wind out of the West?
Fesh Fesh Sailing oh yeah! I’m going to be one of the boats that stays in a harbor until it passes :P
good to see you two back on the water and get the teamwork up and running and did Ryan appreciate your efforts with the lemon and ginger tea cheers .
Yeah, even in poor conditions, it’s so good to be back on the water :) I think Ryan liked my ginger tea! He was back in action a couple of hours later :) /Sophie
That is so good to hear and i enjoy your graphics on your videos thanks for your reply .
@@RyanSophieSailing
Congratulations, I've docked in less than favorable conditions and know how stressful it can be. Seems you handled the stress and the conditions very well. If you can handle that you can handle anything you will be forced to do while at sea. Cool head and quick thinking make you a great captain.
Thanks! Now and then, we like a good challenge! especially when they are the result of a choice, as opposed to unforeseen circumstances one needs to deal with 😅
fun video again......Ryan not having much fun, but anxiety, weather, rain....anxiety of first sail....I get it! Sophie rocks! The Med will throw you many days of unexpected weather....a sound ship, eggs put away....and you will have fun! Great boat, you will have a lot of fun with her, and you two did a great job getting her upgraded and homey! Thanks, Andrew
Sophie is quite the trooper!!! Good work!
Great sailing video, and very enjoyable, well done. I can understand Ryan's frustration with the AIS - you spend weeks doing prep just to have vital piece of kit fail at the 11th hour. You both coped extremely well though.
Sophie..... my respect for you just went off limits! True Captain!!!
Yeah, that was a bit off limits, but I recon these will pushed again someday :) thanks for the nice comment Mikael!
OMG...Sophie is now my favorite sailor girl!
I wish I had a compitant woman with such a great attitude on my boat. You are a gem!
Yes... she really is great... Brock. Ryan
Wow! Sophie, you are great. Thanks for the video.
So happy for the both of you to be back in action. Always enjoy your videos. Nice weather ahead.
Have fun. 💪👍🙏🙏❤️❤️🍷
We had the crazy winds too! East then a day of nothing, then West. Rain that made England look like a tropical paradise! Boat jobs all done and we will be heading your way in the next window. BIG get together Sunday with Haddock and the folks you left behind. Wish you guy's could be there. Thanks for your help and videos that keep it real! Sail Safe. Ant, Cid and the pooch crew.xx SV Impavidus.
Nice!!! What is your first destination?!
@@RyanSophieSailing I think we will do a short shakedown to San Jose or maybe a bit further. Then East and cross to Ibiza :-)
So good to see you out there having a go! If there was only fair weather sailing there would be almost no sailing at all! If you had been going the other way you would have had plenty of wind I think.
Cheers Warren
These days, Ryan is looking more and more westward for that reason 😏
Now that we are approaching the Balearics and that May has started the sailing has been fantastic though!
It's very subtle but the music you've dubbed into the background really helps to describe the feeling of your sail! Keep up the great work!!
Ok you have to admit that was a slight cheeky giggle at 12:03 about Ryan being seasick and not wanting to show it ., of course though after that u went about making him ginger tea to help him out ..👌
Sailing again! You guys are Super Stars! GOD bless. JC
Thanks JC!!! :)
Another great vid.
We like that you capture the'how it feels for me' moments, giving us an appreciation for what you're going through.
And I am keen to learn what the AIS issue had been and what you did to fix it.
Keep up the great vids!
We aren’t sure what is going on with the AIS, but we’ll talk about it in a coming video once we have the answer :)
Two great sailors. Great attitude. Well done
The arch looks great - nicely integrated!
Thanks John! We’re really thrilled with it :)
Your Vanna White is super cheerful!
Hey! I thought you were in the Mediterranean. You look like you're dressed for sailing in the Winter in the North Sea. Ha ha.
Thank you so much for taking the time and filming even under these conditions. Love your work. Manfred
Right?!! I thought so too! We never had so much rain at sea than over the course of this passage 😑
You made me yawn too! Really its infectious
Another great video. New nautical book in works, Sophie and Ryan's conflicting definition of happy waves and sad waves, lol. Felt good to say more power, didn't it Ryan, lol. Now I know difference between egging a house vs egging a boat.
that arch looks great
Such a great attitude, Sophie !!! 👍🙂
Good job guys.....Ryan remember....Barked orders are never well received....
But you have to be heard. It can get loud out there. But never scream. That is just foolish.
Fredrick Rourk It wasn’t a volume issue.....rude tone was more the issue
Lovely B-Roll...well done!
Commentary is always good.👍🙂 love it. So what was wrong with the AIS? Tea with lemon yummm... never understood that put milk in tea.
We’re still trying to sort it out, but we’ll talk about it in a video as soon as we know... :)
Well done! Been there done that. Me sea sick and wet/cold. My wife at the helm for hours guiding us to the nearest safe harbor. Moments you remember and learn from.
Yep, that happens... and it’s no fun :) but it sounds like you can count on your wife and that’s pretty awesome!
You are amazing team!
The new stern rail solar mount is very nice, actually smoking hot ... your solution is less clutter and roomier, I love it, thanks for the concept and great videos
Thanks DV!! We really like it too :)
Ryan you are a very very lucky man your first mate is awesome regards from Melbourne OZ
Sophie is such a Jambon.... love her enthusiasm. Is that a painting of the Titanic behind you???? LOL
Very nice video, well done!
I am really enjoying your channel. My family is going to purchase a boat within the next 6 months to go sailing.
A proper sailing video, thanks 👍🏻
Good job on the tea. Very thoughtful. :)
Sometimes I try to be nice ;)
Just an observation I have noticed since I started watching your channel... there are some dynamics that don’t seem to be working so smooth between the two of you. I am surprised the two of you haven’t choked each other out... 🤔
Fair winds and following seas to you both. Sophie... Belle del la Mer! That’s what I am calling you. Lol
Semper Fidelis 🐾👣
love your wet weather gear Musto HPX........ nothing betterer, Despite the weather, I bet it felt good to be under sail again
Love your videos. Sophie so impressed with you at the helm. You look like a pro!
Thanks Wayne! I’m starting to get the hang of this sailing thing :)
Cabo di gato is a beautiful place... Not juste a point!! I've sailed around there several Times (in bad weather) and also been there in a 4x4 :)
Remember : Every land point will push up bigger waves. Check your tide/current charts... Great video :)
Great video guys.... always lot's of fun
Thanks Cyclomaniac! :)
Why did someone give this most excellent video a thumbs down? They must have had their phone upside down.
Aw thanks Doug! Maybe someone doesn’t like the rain. I know I don’t like the rain 😂
It might not have the best start to the sailing season, but it was a great video! Thanks for sharing.
👍👍👍👍👍👍😍⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵
Aw thanks bill4nier! Always a pleasure to see you here every week!
Take it as it comes.....It's all Good......
Another great video thanks Ryan and Sophie!
Thanks Bob! Glad you liked it! :) /Sophie
You are a gem !
Love your sense of humour and glad Cartagena put on a "firewok" show to welcome you @19:01 ;) Ryan needs to borrow your seasickness goggle glasses!
I offered the seasickness glasses. To my surprise, he wasn’t very keen 😂
Surf the Gnar Dudes !!
Great sailing footage underway!
Thanks! Glad you liked it! :)
May I suggest that the next time you are sailing essentially dead down wind, you pole out your genoa. You will find that you can sail 20* either side of 180* apparent wind without difficulty. Cheers!
You are one tough couple, learning not only how to sail, but how to keep a bot. And keep you and your partner from killing each other. REmber that in the end, you will have mistakes, oopsies, and just emergencies, but that doesn't mean you are failing. Its means you are sailing!
Word! It took us a while to understand that, but it is true :)
Yay, Swedish flag! Hello from Norway ;) Happy travels, and best of luck!
Hello!
More power, more power babe... those inlets can be scary. Think you will get some good weather soon, the weather in Denmark is pretty good now and around 15-19C so it is almost summer in Europe :)
Yeah we’re hoping for some better weather. The weather in the med should stabilize in May!
Looks like sailing on the Baltic Sea 😁⛵
Ryan, as you probably already know, you are one lucky guy.
All the time money and effort put in must be stressful good luck to you both and enjoy it .I know I am xx
You guys have come such a long way in your sailing confidence. This voyage would have been a big deal when you first started sailing, now it is mildly less than ideal, at worst!
Sweet! your out of the Marina. :)
Nice waves reminds me of my mad mates fishing trips in the English channel although waves were much worse ,ice cream is best for sea sickness or dry land.
Oh ice cream.... i like that idea!
Ryan,, deep breaths brother! In Hi Seas & shit weather, if the boat isn't sinking then it does not need fixing, just relax and sail, people have been doing it for hundreds of years without the techno stuff, as an electronics engineer i understand the love and dependence of nav systems, just don't let if steal your joy of the sail!
looks like a light wind spinnaker is in your future. Of course you probably have one by now.
"Nervousity" would be a great name for a sailboat... or a punk band, I guess.
We can name Ryan’s one-man ukulele band “nervosity”. That wouldn’t be quite accurate, but I guess the punk movement was all about irony, right? 😂
@@RyanSophieSailing ...and not learning to play your instruments?
Great work
Thanks! :)
I keep hearing bad things about Beneteau boats. I love the look of them and the modern amenities. Have you noticed that after time your boat tends to fall apart and you are fixing it more than other brands? Everyone I know says no way, however, I can’t help but want one. Fill me in. Thank you.
Beautiful video. Happy to see such increased confidence in your skills, Sophie.
Thanks Diane! :)
I smiled when I saw you handling the jib sheets alone. I’ve never seen a woman jibe so expertly.
Your a good girlfriend Sophie. I hope Ryan appreciates how amazing you are.
Fun episode. In my part of the world I have yet to don my foul gear in anger 😊 a T shirt at most for a little windchill😊
I had not expected to take the foulies out this year 😭
Totally get the trying to get underway part!! And the egg. Try living with a rotten egg! OMG.
Oh thanks god the egg wasn’t rotten and I clean it right away. The rotten egg would have sent me right away in the depths of hell 😷
cartagena is a great city, i wish you nice moments there. i sailed to cartagena january 2016
Yeah we are loving Cartagena, it is a very nice city! :)
If you're too close to dead downwind, use your VMG and head up a little!
Stow everything before you cast off. Dont believe them when they say the rain never happens like that, I lived there for 8 years , January to mid May is the spanish rainy season EVERY YEAR. I had an Oceanis 390 (purchased new in 1989)
Yeah, we realized how misinformed we were about the Med 😂 just joking, we’d been warned. But we had a lovely winter before that rainy week!
OMG is the baby always sooooo charming????? xo
What do you take for seasickness? Couldn’t catch it on the video and didn’t see any mention of it in the comments. Thanks!
Nice shakedown! Can you tell me the name of the seasickness patch you were happily using?
Sophie .... you are amazing... you can make me tea anytime ;-)
Going beyond your comfort zone adds spice to life. Life is too short to be luke warm all the time, but it should be done in measure and safely. I also differentiate between an adrenaline junkie and going beyond your comfort zone. Love your videos, I wish my wife would let me buy a sail boat, but!
Thanks Robert! I can certify I am no adrenaline junky, especially not at sea 😆 but now and then, different conditions can be a good learning experience. It’s especially nice when going out of the comfort zone is a choice, as opposed to all of a sudden finding yourself in a storm with no warning!
No worries yellow sky,but when it's green tornado.
Thanks god, no tornado occurred during this passage 😱
Yes, someone appears COLD xo
Seen bigger waves in my bathtub. I do like your show though ☺️
Upgraded my Raymarine AIS 350 to a 650 last September, 2018. It failed last week, April 2019....
Sophie, if you ever get tired of that grumpy old troll, come look me up. I mean, I'm a simple man, an honest man, a hardy working aussie with modest expectations, but when it comes to women, well, there are a few qualities I have looked for in the past, but could never find them all in the same space, but if you know anyone who just so happens to be intelligent, attractive(preferably a brunette), compassionate, a lover, an accomplished sailor, sound bite editor extraordinaire who speaks with a french accent, I'm available :)
Stormbringer I second storm bringer‘s assessment!
Sailor take warning
Also they say if you can't see the mountain it's raining.
If you can see the mountain it's about to!
Hahaha! Yep, that’d be a true statement :) /Sophie
If we sail we get wet, some fresh, some salty, some sopey. It’s all part of the life.
That’s right!
Loving the Swedish flag!
