So good to see Captain Tyler doing such a great job! What a relief it must be to have a second captain on board! Hope you had a few good days of in Miami! Looking forward to the next videos
Wow, Paul’s got his work cut out, the commentary was brilliant, the new “temp” captain was very informative. Well done. On another note, some lovely tanned legs in that crew now, hope they’re not all leaving 😂😂😂.
I get the impression that super yachts are not necessarily the most comfortable places to be in rough weather on the open ocean but there again what boats are? But, unfortunately gone are my dreams about doing a round the world tour or living on my imaginary super yacht. Keep them in the Maldives 😂
There is a lot of paperwork before arrival, and yachts crossing from Europe are a low priority for C&BP. Every now and then, they'll pay us a surprise visit on arrival
sorry you feel that way. The weather is the most important part of the crossing as we watch it constantly, making sure we're in the best conditions possible.
So as a yacht crew crossing the Atlantic you go from pollywog to shellback. In the US Navy I think they have something similar when you cross the equator, in yachting do they have a different thing for crossing the Equator or is crossing the Equator a big deal in yachting?
On yachts, we don't often cross the equator, but we cross that Atlantic at least twice a year, so it's a good fun way for the crew to partake in the traditional Pollywog Ceremony.
I earned my "Shellback" while I was in the US Marine Corps. So 1`m not a Polywog anymore. So I feel the hell those polywogs are about to go through when they cross the equator. We had to travel on Navy ships, so thats when it happened. We were on our way to war with Iraq during the Desert storm war.
@@halfazzini3791 I got lucky I guess. especially me not being officially Navy. I think on that pump to the gulf war, we dipped below the equator just to have that ceremony. that was also my only pump during my six years active duty.
@ yeah, you don’t? Haha -15°f was the HIGH for 2 days Christmas ‘23. Huge fan of yours! Found you via Aquaholic when you first started, been following Aquaholic for easily 8+ years now. Always been fascinated with yachts since I was a kid, I’m a carpenter haha, come snowboard some time?
Did it not make financial sense to do the transit on one engine? There's a penalty on rudder angle and lost effort, but engine running hours/lub oil consumption, together with better load on the one engine usually compensates. Loon is a handsome vessel in transit - that is for sure.
I’m a big fan of your vlog. But I guess they can’t all be winners. Found myself hitting the FF button a lot during this one. Not sure anyone actually cares enough about weather to sit through all those reports. When you just don’t have the content, maybe try shorter Vlogs? Looking forward to a better one next week…

I would work for free on this charter as a chef . What a crew! Proudly South African.
Congrats on the safe crossing.
Beautiful. Safe travels Loon!
Its amazing how Steve can operate a drone with his hands tied behind his back 😋
I do remember watching the sunsets on the crossing.. they were stunning
we were very blessed with some amazing sunrises and sunsets during the crossing 🌅
We did!! Jenny & Trevor Owen Lancashire, England 😃👍
I am watching you from cape town , am a armchair sailor ,good luck SA crew
Strange, have feelings on deja vu watching this, with added sound this time! 😂
Loved the live of the passage. Seeing the stories on the long form are fantastic 😍
Great live stream, always enjoy them and the videos 👍
“Oi look at me!” 😂😂😂😂 How can he look at you with those chiseled t-shirt abs looking back at him!?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Frickin’ hysterical
😂🧜♀️
Happy Holidays from New York! Real feel temp of 25 f. Loving the sunny vibes! Enjoyed the Live. Thanks for keeping the videos rolling.😊
Wow, Paul’s got his work cut out, the commentary was brilliant, the new “temp” captain was very informative. Well done.

Epic Team Loon!❤
Love your videos! Hope you had a great trip and look forward to more great footage from the Caribbean this winter!
Thanks, Sam; the overlay footage was corrupted for this scene, so we did our best. We've got new software now to prevent this from happening again
Jumping from top of Loon is quite the height. I hope you guys made sure beforehand that the water is deep enough
Amazing crossing as always! Live stream was amazing, I look forward to the next live!
Thank you Pengu!
Well done Captain! Who won the Fish & Ships??
love seeing this docked at fort lauderdale, always drive by on my boat
make sure to say hi next time we're in town

21:00 It's called an Italian tune up! 😎 Let it rip!
Can you imagine a couple of subscribers winning a compo joining you all in a crossing ???
Maybe one day.
while watching the Florida docking live, i was surprised you weren't swarmed by customs/TSA as you docked.
There is a lot of paperwork before arrival, and yachts crossing from Europe are a low priority for C&BP. Every now and then, they'll pay us a surprise visit on arrival
When you rinse the boat, is it fresh or salt water? If fresh, does it strain the system?
We never got the update for boats and fishes!!!!!!!!
I've never been far enough from shore to loose sight of land
New to the channel. How often do you see other vessels when crossing The Atlantic?
Ships totals????
Which crew members have actually crossed the equator? (on previous vessels)
Always great videos but sometimes a bit too much weather updates for me.
sorry you feel that way. The weather is the most important part of the crossing as we watch it constantly, making sure we're in the best conditions possible.

What happened to the slide at the midway swim?
in the end, it was decided not to deploy it, so just a quick jump off the top, and then we kept going.
Does the boat have stabilizers ?
yes, we have 2 large stabilizers on each side that do a great job steadying out the boat.
Does the full moon have effect on crossing the ocean dealing with the wind and ocean currents
Who won the Fish & Ships contest?
I think Stephen lost so he didn't want to show it 😂
I earned my "Shellback" while I was in the US Marine Corps. So 1`m not a Polywog anymore. So I feel the hell those polywogs are about to go through when they cross the equator. We had to travel on Navy ships, so thats when it happened. We were on our way to war with Iraq during the Desert storm war.
I was in the USN and still a pollywog after 3 Atlantic crossings, over and back. You become a shellback when and only when you cross the equator.
