    Beautiful anchorage. I like seeing the dolphins running so far back into the coves. It seems a little surreal.🐕🌬️⛵

    What luck with the crew, what a woman, foredeck gorilla, winch handler and fixing food while the captain is at the wheel. such a dream! Should know that there are many of us who are jealous! ❤❤😊

    My boat would be sailing backwards on that course.

    All your hard labor of tacking, Kate's happy dance, Roxey's nose poking up at the cabin door and finally the dolphins with the pensive music at the end made this a thrilling video on your sailing journey thru Patagonia.

    Did those dolphin racers finally give up? Lolz! They are probably confused by your tacking? Glad you had spare lines.

    As was noticed by @sauerjoseph, I also caught a glimpse of Roxy on the companionwaysteps. Her nose and ears told me (canine bodylanguage transcription): "Hey guys! I smell land. And you are just fiddling around with that metal thing on the bow, ropes and the dinghy. Stop this crap! Get me in that dinghy so I can crap on land. Curtis complains there is no water. I can give him a full bladder of weewee. Come on!"

    You two are amazing. Roxy too. Really like the different camera angles, helmet cams and the PIP. You all are crushing it every week. Cape Horn was epic. The Patagonia videos are a close second. Keep having fun, stay warm and stay safe. Bill

    Hi guys,
    you are now one of the last sailing youtuber I look every week .
    I love your way of sailing: dynamic, always trimming the sails, steering the boat.
    Very few youtubers would have sailed up wind like you do and would have started the engine
    I made lot of races here in France and I appreciate.

    Hello, Vive les J.boat. yours is a Super boat for this way. 23 years, but she is beautiful, like origin ! My boat is J110, have 23 year old too, built in France by Jcomposite. The same of yours, but little (36 feets). I very like yours vidéos, they are my very Best video of every TH-cam. You are regatiers, but make safe sailing in hostile nature. Bonne route. Dont' forguet : Francia look at you !😂😂😂

  • @tvonzweck
    @tvonzweck ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I watch a dozen or more TH-cam sailing channels and have always wished for a channel of experienced sailors that provide a balance showing scenery and personal shenanigans as well as explanations of sail plan, strategy and maneuvers - you guys do it. It helps me to consider what I am lacking in my sailing. Your discussion of polars interests me. After about 11000nm of cruising California's Islands and most of Mexico I have yet to focus on polars, I would not have a clue as to how to ascertain if am sailing close to them or not.

    • @SailingSweetRuca
      @SailingSweetRuca  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Welcome aboard! It doesn’t sound like you lacking anything if you’ve laid 11k miles of track! A good first dive into polars focused on cruising would be on PredictWinds FAQs. Likely if the boat feels good and is sailing fast you are close to your polar speeds at any given angle. We don’t use polars so much when cruising to sail at top speeds, but to plan ahead to position ourselves where we want to be vs a weather system. Cheers!

    Me again. Can't wait for you to get back to warmer water. So if you turn east you might find NZ. I would love to host you. A circum nav of this country would be up your alley.
    On another note I love your sailing skills. It's so nice you share them. Curtis. your darling is nothing short of a trouper. Love you both.

    I agree Curtis is lucky to have such a wonderfu ccrew. For a while i wonderee if his other name was "Bligh" ( muntiny on HMS Bounty). Curtis Bligh redeemed himself setting the lines at the end (or had there been a mutiny? hahaha Keep up the great films of the ultimate adventre.

    • @SailingSweetRuca
      @SailingSweetRuca  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Arrrg! We had to move fast because of impending weather. Curtis is a bit stronger to be able to physically pull the boat around with no engine to maneuver.

  • @lenwhatever4187
    @lenwhatever4187 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    "Funny" thing we had both of those problems this last summer... broken line (jib furling) and kelp in the intake. It happens. Nice sail though.

    • @SailingSweetRuca
      @SailingSweetRuca  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Right on, it happens, normal parts of sailing adventures. The kelp here seems perfectly sized for our water intake and it is plentiful!

    Great video. A boat drug in Porto Santo, landing on the bricks. The community helped, attaching lines, holding him off until the tow-boat arrived, The two boat accelerated with their lines attached, catapulting our mooring neighbor into our stern, braking our Hydrovane. Hopefully we can get a replacement part and be on our way to Cabo Verde.

    The kelp seems to be a definite danger to the propeller intake. Especially in so remote an area.

    Upwind sailing (tackercize) does beat boat yoga for healthy movement. Too bad the time fixing stuff (boat yoga) seems to last far longer than tackercize. Enjoying your adventure, keep publishing!
