Love your channel! you asked for feedback: 1- THANK YOU for numbering your episodes... wish other channels did the same. 2- would like to see more of how you guys plot your charter and things you consider for passage timing. 3- we’re sailors in training, going through our ASA certifications, etc... we’d like to hear more about what “scares” you throughout your adventures. High seas, freaky storms, worrying about the anchor hold as you attempt to sleep in wind, etc. 4- security while you’re away from the vessel? One of my concerns is both of us being too far away during provisioning trips etc. how do you manage those concerns? Thanks again guys!
Hey Doug we love the feedback, all great ideas that we will absolutely work on covering on upcoming videos!! And actually, it will fit nicely with our upcoming videos because we are working very hard right now planning for our upcoming passage across the pacific!! Stay tuned & thanks again!!
Hi guys, we’re huge fans of your channel. We have both retired early and have decided to take the plunge and buy our first boat. It’s a new Seawind catamaran which has been shrink wrapped in Vietnam since last March. We’re desperate for Covid travel restrictions to lift, so we can get it. Anyway - content? I’m scared witless at the thought of having to carry out boat maintenance and fixes as I have zero experience of electrics, plumbing, motors etc. Some ‘how to’s’ would be invaluable to me to increase both my knowledge and confidence. Thank you for allowing us to sail virtually with you. I can’t tell you how desperate we’ve been having a new cat, but being stuck in the UK. Hope we enjoy the experience as much as you do ;)
Hi Paul!! Man, welcome and CONGRATULATIONS!! Man that’s an exciting time, and by the sounds of it, incredibly frustrating too!! I would be flat out LOOOOOSING IT!! Man we really hope this all ends soon, especially for you all!! Anyways, ya the maintenance can be daunting, and unfortunately having a new boat isn’t always an out for that either, and often they actually need MORE attention, but I assure you- YOU GOT THIS!! And what’s more, the sailing community has GOT YOU!! We are constantly helping one another, and every where we have gone so far there are strings of people everywhere that are there for questions, tool loaning, and often even physical assistance! So we will continue including how-to’s, and definitely consider dedicated videos as well- great idea!! Ok well keep your chin up, and thanks for watching and commenting!!
Filming and editing life is not easy! We really enjoy your episodes and appreciate the effort you put into them. Thank you for sharing with all of us. The boat work on your new boat has been interesting and look forward to your travels on it.
You’re right it isn’t easy, but honestly it’s comments like these that keep us going when we get down so, thank you, really… cheers and stay tuned, we are finally sailing and have some fun episodes coming ups soon!!
Always more Erica...lol........ I love the way you talk to the camera, as we are there, adds a great dimension to your vlogs. We really do feel like we are there sometime, awesome in these shitty times of no travel, or hard travel at best.
Can’t wait for the next video! I find myself checking to see if you uploaded anything throughout my work day just so I can take a break 🤣 Stay safe and be blessed!
Wow thanks SO much, we love getting messages like these!! We are hoping to have extra Friday videos periodically, want to call it “Five Minute Fridays” stay tuned and stay in touch!! Cheers Denise!!
You asked about what we would like to see in upcoming episode's.... I miss the "Bloopers" you used to have at the end.... Besides that.... Outstanding boat and life!!
Open up the clamp and cut an aluminum can into a shim. With the added space from opening the clamp and the pop can shim you should take up some of the slack until you get a new piece. (Although by the time you get this the boat is out of the water already 😂😎) cheers!
Sometimes just a change of scenery is enough to recharge the batteries. I'll often start a new project before finishing one just to keep interest. Regarding the steering arm slack, a section of rubber hose or something similar would take up some space and may even improve "gription". As far as content suggestions, would love to see a tour of VA's systems -- nav, water maker, solar, etc. I'm a sucker for nerd stuff.
Great vid thanks. Idea: put a two minute segment in each vid about just one system in closeup. Eg where does plumbing go…. close up looks at the channels and holes the pipes go through and connections…. just how all systems have details that you need to gradually get familiar with so you can fix later. Close up and detailed but short time 2 or 3 mins. Short enough no one gets bored, but interesting to future captains. Also.. drone video of water…. always be up sun (unless you want the reflections) especially sea life footage. Just suggestions, what you do is fantastic and we love watching you guys living a great life.
Awesome we love hearing stuff like this!! Good ideas btw and we are actually planning on doing something like a “five minute fridays” or something like that! Cheers
Man I have been waiting for you two to get back on the water this is so exciting. Question do you ever worry about other boat pirates or security when you're boating? You're a living a lot of people's dreams great video. ⛵⛵
Hey hey guys!! Ya we have worried about that in the past, it’s really very dependent on the area… in fact, when we were first sailing in the Caribbean, it was wild to us that one island (country) would be safe as a sandwich and the next one we had to really watch our shit… then from there it was hit or miss really, and it didn’t always follow the public view of an area, for instance- Cuba was SAFE!! Then Belize was a place where we locked everything, then Mexico, SAFE! Colombia, SAFE! So it just depends, and there usually a bunch of online resources for cruisers to learn about such stuff prior to visiting…. Cheers and stay tuned!!
I have been following you both for a while now, and by a landslide the best channel on TH-cam. I like the suggestion of incorporating boat systems into each segment so we can see how your boat works. Do we get a tour of your new vessel or did I miss it? Keep it up guys luv it! Cheers
RON!! Man what an awesome message!! Seriously made our day!!! And no you haven’t missed it, it should be one of the very next videos, maybe even THE next lol!! Cheers and thanks much for watching and commenting!!
as i started watching this morning I was thinking love the 'real stuff' in your video's and so it was kool to hear you speak of such... Tip for Warren... when Erica mouths/says it's ok... ITS NOT lol... Take care Guys love your Videos'
Hi both, another great episode of your adventures, you both compliment each other really well! Looking forward to seeing the next episode. From Mac in Wales GB
was curious what the deciding factor was for staying in the sea of cortez again this season? get used to the new awesome boat before setting off in the pacific and closer for friends and family to come tag along for short trips or combination of the two is what im thinking but curious to hear from you guys.
Hey Jeff glad you asked!! So it was purely because we AGAIN faced too many hurdles to cross to the South Pacific island, they were still closed down but are slowly opening so this will be our last season in the Sea of Cortez! We cannot WAIT!! Anyways cheers!!
Lol! So funny!!! I can tell you if I did that Robin would nock out my other Eye!!!! Lol !! Loved the video. And you may want to have the shaft made out of stainless steel. You would not believe how much Torque that arm is under. Ok until next week Aloha from your friends on the Big Island🏝 of Hawaii 🏞🍹! Oooo!! I allmost forgot, the last three nights we have ben Hearing the whales. Our neighbors saw thim from there lanai and of course we wasn't home .
Hey Johan it was the 2014 Fountaine Pajot Lipari 41 and now we have a 2015 Fountaine Pajot HELIA 44… we are putting together a walkthrough video very soon
Another great video. Thanks. At 24:08 when you were saying that the engines were off and you were sailing, it looked to me like the throttles were in reverse. On the F-P Helia that we chartered, there was a note on the throttle housing saying that the throttles should be positioned like that when sailing with the engines off. Do you follow that practice? Also, I found that the absence of cluthes for the headsail sheets was often inconvenient - requiring that the active headsail sheet be secured to one of the winches. Have you found the missing clutches to be an issue and will you be adding them?
Hey Don thanks for watching and commenting!! Yes we do keep the throttles in reverse and the reason is that with fixed props (what’s supplied from FP from the factory, any boat with folding props is an add on) the sail drives still turn while under sail, IF the motors are in neutral… when put in reverse the props and thus the sail drives stop, saving a ton of unnecessary wear and tear on the gears and whole sail drives… also, agreed it’s kind of weird to not have clutches for the active sheet but honestly, now that we are used to that, probably wouldn’t add them even if they were given to us… we have that one dedicated winch for the jib sheet, and the other two can easily cover all our other needs…. Might be a different story IF we raced, and therefore might be flying both the main & jib combined with one of our spinnakers, then we might need that third winch freed up… anyways thanks for asking, hope that helps!
BTW that steering arm may hold, but by opening that gap to tighten it onto the steering shaft you may/will have put more stress on those cracks,... suggestion; either replace it with a new one or take to a machine shop have them replicate one or at the very lest have the hole refilled and re-drilled and cracks welded up... there would be a cack load of force going through that arm (depending on seas, weather, speed, sailing conditions etc) meanwhile still loving your Vids eh. Ned
Man I completely agree, believe me!! It weighs on my mind every time we sail, luckily our miles have been short and the seas calm, but I am looking to do it ASAP! Finding a place that can weld aluminum (WELL) is challenging 😥
Hey Ray!! No haven’t missed it, we are looking forward to including all that in upcoming videos but honestly, we haven’t truly had the time aboard or sailing miles to accurately report the difference…. But it’s coming- I promise!! Cheers man!!
I would like to see the real We Sail, the ups and the downs as it always looks like it is party,party, party, but reality is different. The ups and the downs would be nice. I love watching you though
Absolutely Mark, we hear ya, and certainly will/do try to capture as “real” a view as possible but also know there is always room for improvement! Thanks for taking the time to message us!! Cheers man
good to see you back on the water !! over xmas new year was you cat outside of cabo ??!! wasnt 100% sure it was you guys ..... also still would love to know the dif btw your old cat and this one . oh and sorry to say but that steering mechanism / setup got to one of the worst in the industry !? ( just tubs and bolts ..how old is that boat ! ) didnt think anyone made them anymore w.out heim joints !! guess i was wrong !! you should look into an steering linkage upgrade asap ....
Hey hey!! No it wasn’t us, we have never been other than sailing by Cabo last year on our way to HI… but anyways, cheers and we will absolutely be covering the main differences between cats soon!!
@@WEsail March 2024 for me. I am getting my boat in September in France. Do you worry about your weight? If you ever wanted to make a video on what you need to have and what's optional that would be interesting. I have a feeling you're not that weight conscious am I wrong?
Haha you would be correct! I mean we know about our weight and know that it all slows us down, but everything we have on board serves a purpose, either safety, comfort, or pleasure so it’s all acceptable to us! We are VERY excited for you!!! Stay in touch and ask anything!!
Well damn, we have had this comment from time to time and lately have been really trying to pull it together, even to the point of watching it with different devises to evaluate the audio… but we really do appreciate the heads up, and especially on a nice way like you did- THANKS!
Here’s a question I’ve always wondered: how thin are the walls? Like the boat next to you, can you here them talking when they are inside? Sometimes that could make for some “interesting” moments.
Haha ya it would!! Well to answer, you have way more likelihood being annoyed by the slapping water (and even sometimes fish!) on the hulls than you will be by neighbors… tue hulls are thick enough for safety but you do get a fair amount of noise transfer from the outside, mostly base from party’s or sea noise
Your videos are great as they are, don’t need to change anything. A few more shots of Erica in a bikini never hurt anyone. The bloopers / outtakes are always funny. ✌️
After watching two beautiful people express their passion for life love and the exquisite beauty of nature around them, who wants to watch restrained actors and actresses repeat canned text on TV? Throw us segments of all your ideas, everything you like to do boat life and see what hits! I would rather watch you play poker with friends than a stuffy shirt on TV anytime!
Hola, chicos es muy difícil cuando editan los videos poner subtítulos en español? Creo que muchos más los podrían seguir. Gracias y me encanta los videos
Hey Carol first thank you, and second sorry - we have had occasional comments like these (especially lately) and I swear we are paying attention to sounds editing more than ever and for whatever reason, cannot get it right!?? We even watch the videos on different devises before exporting them just to verify, but even that doesn’t seem to be working all the time… very frustrating… anyways, thanks for watching and commenting, would love if you sent us a message anytime you notice messed up sound, and maybe even let us know where so we can go back and see what is happening during editing?? Just a thought, if you had the time… CHEERS
Many problems I see in boats were built into them when they were built. An engineer that rebuilt Japan after the war said make the repair better than the original design. Stand back and look at new materials, and designs. Dyneema rope is made of the same plastic found in the milk jugs yet it is stronger than steel, and floats. It would take over 4,300,000 lbs rip apart a cubic foot block of aluminum, but the same 166lbs of bamboo would take over 35,714,285 lbs to rip apart. They make bamboo boards, and marine plywood. Top loading freezers, and refrigerator don't dump out the cold air bath that the food is in. Check; Ooops... yacht into tiny beach house / Sailing mangrove charlie this is a cool design, and he researched marine bamboo.
Just a very swedish question - why do you need TWO bathrooms for two beds you basically never use? I mean, people CAN share bathrooms for a week or two. They will survive. BUT, a really good storage room for you...? Yeah. Need instead of want. Be practical. /Catta from Sundsvall!
Don’t you think it’s about time you learn how to set your sails? That spinnaker looks terrible… The problem with a lot of sailing channels is they don’t learn how to sail…. It sends the wrong message to hopeful cruisers..
Well, do you think maybe we are dealing with something you aren’t aware of, maybe? For instance, our only spinnaker is the one we brought from our older, smaller boat, and it’s all we have for right now, and it’s undersized, so we make do with what we have…. but thanks for sending us a kind message, cheers.

Well thanks Nathan, man we appreciate such kind messages, really keeps us going!! Cheers bud
Love the videos, keep up the great editing work. Your joy is infectious!
Awesome Chas thanks very much!!
This was an exceptional episode Warren and Erica! Your work is greatly appreciated.
Well Chuck thank YOU man!! Really appreciate it
Real raw stuff, boat work, everything in between 👍
It was great seeing the boat in Martini cove. A close friend of mine from San Carlos, his ashes were spread in that cove. Many good memories there.
Nice Jim, ya we love it there!!!
Congratulations on the new boat. I am anxious to see the new adventures on it.
Ya definitely buddy, they are a comin’!!! Spoiler alert- we are gearing up to cross the pacific in just a few short months so stay tuned!!! Cheers
This was my first episode I have seen, now I need to go back to the beginning. Really enjoyed this one!
Awesome, thanks, and welcome!! Mouth more coming :)
Awesome, thanks, and welcome!! Much more coming :)
Congratulations on the new yacht! beautiful ending montage....
Can’t wait for the next video! I find myself checking to see if you uploaded anything throughout my work day just so I can take a break 🤣 Stay safe and be blessed!

You asked about what we would like to see in upcoming episode's.... I miss the "Bloopers" you used to have at the end.... Besides that.... Outstanding boat and life!!

Awesome idea!! Wow thanks!!
Love your channel! Thank you for all your efforts.
Tradesmen start at 7.30 or before, so the job gets done and you can go sailing, Erica!!
Yea-YA!! Thanks!!
Erica - I felt you so hard with the boat project noise before coffee! 😂
Haha right!?!? THANK YOU
Thanks for the great video. Love watching beautiful couple living their best life. Amazing.
We thanks- we really appreciate that!! Cheers!!
Great tip on the drill bit depth gage👍👍
Ya great, I’ve learned to have some hard plastic straws on hand around the boat…
So happy you are off the dock and making adventure videos again. Enjoy the voyages ahead
Hey Michael ya man we are having a blast again!! Cheers and stay tuned for some sailing and MOVEMENT again!!!
Good Job Warren!
Enjoy the life on our new boat. It‘s a very nice one.
Hey thanks!!!
Sometimes just a change of scenery is enough to recharge the batteries. I'll often start a new project before finishing one just to keep interest.
Regarding the steering arm slack, a section of rubber hose or something similar would take up some space and may even improve "gription".
As far as content suggestions, would love to see a tour of VA's systems -- nav, water maker, solar, etc. I'm a sucker for nerd stuff.
Haha you get man, got that video coming up very soon actually!! And thanks for the idea on that arm!! Cheers Dave!
Amazing!
Thanks Edson!!
Awesome video!
Always a joy to see what you two are up to. Nice to see you are nearly ready to hit the road, or is that the high seas? Stay groovy and stay safe.
Haha, ya either works, high seas for us soon, just saying :)
Always love your Vlogs!
Hey thanks very very much!! Cheers
Great vid thanks. Idea: put a two minute segment in each vid about just one system in closeup. Eg where does plumbing go…. close up looks at the channels and holes the pipes go through and connections…. just how all systems have details that you need to gradually get familiar with so you can fix later. Close up and detailed but short time 2 or 3 mins. Short enough no one gets bored, but interesting to future captains. Also.. drone video of water…. always be up sun (unless you want the reflections) especially sea life footage. Just suggestions, what you do is fantastic and we love watching you guys living a great life.
Awesome we love hearing stuff like this!! Good ideas btw and we are actually planning on doing something like a “five minute fridays” or something like that! Cheers
Excellent video. Happy to see you guys sailing on the new boat!!
Thanks very much, we are STOKED!!!
Very excited for you and your new Cat. Looking forward to more adventures through your lens. Cheers 👍🇺🇸😎...
Well sit back cause we got nothing but good stuff coming your way!! CHEERS
So excited about series 4, in new boat :)
Ya hey thanks Richard!! We are SO EXCITED and have some fantastic stuff coming up!!
Sweet 😃
Thank you thank you!!
Hello guys y'all inspire me to do some improvements in my boat thanks ..
I really enjoy watching Erica out fish Warren lol! Lets see more of that.
On it!!
Man I have been waiting for you two to get back on the water this is so exciting. Question do you ever worry about other boat pirates or security when you're boating? You're a living a lot of people's dreams great video. ⛵⛵

Don't want to over do it with the projects? LOL, good one...
HAHAHA RIGHT!??! Lol
Hi guys, great video. What was the make and model of your previous boat and what do you have now. Looking good!!
Hey Johan it was the 2014 Fountaine Pajot Lipari 41 and now we have a 2015 Fountaine Pajot HELIA 44… we are putting together a walkthrough video very soon

Why not full hoist on the spinnaker halyard??
Good catch! Ya it’s our old spinnaker and pretty undersized for this boat…
👍👍👍👍👍
I’d like to know the improvement the new boat brought specs are bigger I assume usability?
Hey Tom you bet, in fact we have that video coming up very soon!!
I would like to see the real We Sail, the ups and the downs as it always looks like it is party,party, party, but reality is different. The ups and the downs would be nice. I love watching you though
Absolutely Mark, we hear ya, and certainly will/do try to capture as “real” a view as possible but also know there is always room for improvement! Thanks for taking the time to message us!! Cheers man
Maybe get a can of coke and cut it into strips to pack out the steering arm. Cheap fix to take out the play in it
good to see you back on the water !! over xmas new year was you cat outside of cabo ??!! wasnt 100% sure it was you guys ..... also still would love to know the dif btw your old cat and this one . oh and sorry to say but that steering mechanism / setup got to one of the worst in the industry !?

Hey Carol first thank you, and second sorry - we have had occasional comments like these (especially lately) and I swear we are paying attention to sounds editing more than ever and for whatever reason, cannot get it right!?? We even watch the videos on different devises before exporting them just to verify, but even that doesn’t seem to be working all the time… very frustrating… anyways, thanks for watching and commenting, would love if you sent us a message anytime you notice messed up sound, and maybe even let us know where so we can go back and see what is happening during editing?? Just a thought, if you had the time… CHEERS
Many problems I see in boats were built into them when they were built. An engineer that rebuilt Japan after the war said make the repair better than the original design. Stand back and look at new materials, and designs. Dyneema rope is made of the same plastic found in the milk jugs yet it is stronger than steel, and floats. It would take over 4,300,000 lbs rip apart a cubic foot block of aluminum, but the same 166lbs of bamboo would take over 35,714,285 lbs to rip apart. They make bamboo boards, and marine plywood. Top loading freezers, and refrigerator don't dump out the cold air bath that the food is in. Check; Ooops... yacht into tiny beach house / Sailing mangrove charlie this is a cool design, and he researched marine bamboo.
Hey Rick thanks man we agree and will check that out!! Cheers man
Tossin out a comment for the bots.
We we got this one :)
Just a very swedish question - why do you need TWO bathrooms for two beds you basically never use? I mean, people CAN share bathrooms for a week or two. They will survive. BUT, a really good storage room for you...? Yeah. Need instead of want. Be practical. /Catta from Sundsvall!
It’s a good point/question… we do have quite a bit of guests tho… either way thanks for saying hello!!
Please please please , NO MORE BOAT PROJECTS ON THE VLOG ! I want my time spent watching your videos be like my vacation ! No more work !
Haha we hear ya! Stay tuned for 99% fun!
:-)
Hey Alsino!! Looks like we get to reunite fairly soon!!
Don’t you think it’s about time you learn how to set your sails? That spinnaker looks terrible… The problem with a lot of sailing channels is they don’t learn how to sail…. It sends the wrong message to hopeful cruisers..
Well, do you think maybe we are dealing with something you aren’t aware of, maybe? For instance, our only spinnaker is the one we brought from our older, smaller boat, and it’s all we have for right now, and it’s undersized, so we make do with what we have…. but thanks for sending us a kind message, cheers.
