Buy a Sailboat, see the World, It'll be fun...🤣 You guys are such a fun couple to watch.🤙
Lovely deep blue ocean color when watching the dolphins 🐬 💙
🐬🦋🌸💖 Don’t forget your bad days are our good days 🍹🍹🌺⛵️
Have a wonderful week beautiful people 💖🌸🦋🐬🌺
One very good thing is that you always seem to keep up your very high spirits. Or is there perhaps another thing off camera?
I remember my first crossing back in 1990. 30 feet boat, 30 day crossing, I celebrated my 30:th birthday at sea. No sat nav, no weather reports. No modern stuff.
The boat was very very good though. One thing, the exhaust was leaking. Not nice to take on saltwater when you don’t know were it’s coming from. Found it after a long searching and fixed it. We didn’t see a single boat on the entire crossing. Only two whales, one was swimming right under the boat and was a lot bigger than the boat. The other followed us just behind the stern for hours, this was on christmas day. Santa maybe?
You guys are the best! Hang in there👍😃. Your videos are excellent!
Down stairs = below, Maps= charts, floor =Cabin sole, sorry just had to say! You guys doing a brilliant job, safe travels.
Lmao, Behave yourself Barry! :)
Haha, 4 years later and I still forget to use the correct lingo! 😁 fair winds!
You the man Adam, I have full faith in you and full faith in Kiera to keep a close eye on you. Ha. All the best.
I just love the constant laughing in the face of adversity. Kiara falls off a chair & hurts herself & laughs about it on the floor & telling the story and Adam relates to sail problems with no charts with a huge smile on his face. I think you guys got spoiled when you crossed from west to east without any problems. I hope for you that after Verde, all will go smoothly.
"Self-inflicted adventure." Well said. Well done.
Another great episode, thanks for sharing all the trails as well as the good times!
And this is real sailing: fixing while underway or getting to port safely. Coverage of this and showing or telling us your problem solving makes you the best!
You guys are so uplifting when matters go south lol So glad I found you - on so many different levels. ^^
Bummer on the furler! Kinda feel bad liking the video with the challenges you guys ran into. Glad you had backup maps and good luck with the furler...
ATTITUDE: the difference between adversity and adventure! ;-D
You two and Sam seem to be the only ones actually sailing.
There's enough real life drama simply being off shore that doesn't require any contrived BS.
At FOUR different points in this episode, Dev and I looked at each other and went "THAT is a great idea. Let's do that to our boat". I know you're taking some hits but from newbie sailors like us, you guys are doing such a great job and laughing your way through it all. Great job you two!
Long Term...Short Term. nice way to get perspective. May Neptune and the Dolphins bring you Luck.
Ahh the joys of being a skipper... Adam you voice so much of what goes through my head when getting underway (and perhaps as much when repairing stuff when no ashore). Wish I was as chilled as you, though that could be clever editing by Kirara.
Keeping level heads and smiles on your faces is something you two always seem to do, (mostly). Stay groovy and stay safe.
If it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen out there. Way to keep your wits about you, analyze and solve the smaller problems that make up the bigger problem.
Where would the drama and adventure be if everything worked? I am very glad you are progressing reasonably well. Thank you and good luck on the rest of your crossing.
You say cursed I say I am impressed with your ability to handle non-smooth sailing with emotional stability. Cheers to you two. Thank you for including us in your adventures.
I loved the way you shifted your perspective at the end there. It’s not just an obstacle you’re presented with, it’s also an opportunity;)
Fab and exciting episode !!
Hey Adam, did you forget to plan your alternate port? Mindelo? Only joking mate. Love what you and Khiara are doing. Fair winds and following seas.
It will be fun, they said!
I enjoy your channel, you have great chemistry. I noticed Kiara places her hand and fingers very close to the winch drum, which is very dangerous. keep your fingers at least 6 inches from the drum, to avoid an accident.
Lmao, Adam up front chasing mystery noises. Khiara - munchin' down some cookies! Love it!
Great episode, It is so good to see you guys having a challenging sail that brings the BEST of both, The positive attitude shows how experienced you both are, and makes the journey so exciting! Thanks for showing the process and adventure in such a balanced way!!
Great that you are wearing your safety gear. At one point in the film you film your turnbuckles, it appears that there is no pins to secure them. Hope you have pins. How do you meassure the tension in your stays? Do you use a tension measurement tool, like spinlock ? Khiara is a super boat fixing master - she can for sure fix the furler with a banana, sunlotion and umbrella.
Hi guys, sympathy for your "Smooth" sail... hope you have better luck on the rest of your journey. Greetings from Perth, West Australia. Cheers, Frank.
It's a good thing to sort these things out before hitting the big transit. I could listen to that young lady explain things all day !!
Shew - bummer on the Profurl - our Profurl died after crossing the Indian Ocean - Perth to Durban. They told me not to use a winch on it to get it in... guess what I did -whe na squall is coming and you over powered you get it in...so I know how you feel. John Kretschmer on a webinar said beef up your furler - like your anchor ... funny that all the riggers I have met asked why would you want to do that - they have not sailed an ocean - thats why. Good luck with the furler..
Gah, no fun! Glad Adam's backup chart setup worked. You never want to have to rely on the backup, but it does feel good when something you set up long ago comes through in the clutch. Good planning!
One is excited and the other is anxious......pairing the two is a marvel. Keep working so well together.
Popeye and Olive would learn alot from you. just super how you work together to make things come together.
Life is an adventure!!! You're still smiling. Hope it is an easier fix. Prayers, love and hugs my very dear friends.
Sorry about all that happening!! You guys got this though. 👍
Another awesome job folks!! I’m particularly enjoying this crossing, only because I missed doing this leg with my group in January. I went from Mallorca to the Canary Islands but hopped off there. Then I watched as they struggled their way across the Atlantic, with similar bad luck. Lost their engine, and had squall after squall for days. Then had their main-sail halyard jam, so someone had to go up the mast, twice. Then lost their chart-plotter and auto-pilot, so they had about 5-days rationing water and food, and sailing with their compass. Man, I wish I would have been on that leg - serious ;-) cheers!
You guys make almost every issue look fun!! Still my #1 sailing vlog! Great seeing you and fingers crossed
Reminds me of loosing an engine on climb out, or an Emergency Decent do to loss of pressurization at flight levels.
Oxygen masks and Regulators on & 100%, call ATC n tell them we’re Coming Down, ask them for a suitable place to land... only your not going M.84 though, but still..🤭 Kevin explained this Really Good in his latest video, “How to Sail Oceans” from 3:15 to 5:34..!! He’s really good.😎👍✅
The "subscribe" call to action works better if it's on the top right of the screen instead of the top left of the screen. Try it and see if you don't have better results. Have fun!
Great show! Why rush if you can...............
I like the way you handle problems and keep you spirits high. I am sure there were choice words but overall you guys are smiling.
I know you would have been thankful to have stopped at CapeVerde as a similar thing happened to us after friends dismasted on the way there from Grand Canary. We stopped on the way to St Lucia to offer moral support, and it was amazing!!
I would highly recommend it as a stop over for sure!
Loving your videos, Shelby and Luke who you met in I think Grenada or Carriacou recommended your channel😊
Tuff stuff... sailing the Oceans 🌊. Your doing fine..!! 😎👍✅
Glad you did all that prep now? Well done chaps! Good luck with getting the furler fixed.
damn you furler!!! great to see the harnesses and jack-lines out and in use.
Not that I hope it happens, again, but if you run into a spot of bother on your way to the Caribbean, you might find quite a few super yachts as on coming traffic to wave down to get some help! And I hear most are devoid of guests on board!😉
Thoroughly enjoyable. Loved watching you two dealing with the problems of the passage.
What a bummer, (pun intended). Hoping you get sorted out soon and get on your way.
Yow! Bit of a cluster there… but good that it happened before you passed your emergency port. Think of it as just an extended shakedown cruise! 😜
You guys are brilliant, I love watching these videos! It's nice to see the new winches are working well 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You two are always so positive even in the face of adversity! Great video!
By now you will have figured out it was nothing you did, the bottom bearing on your furler simply fell to bits. And the extra rope wrap/s under the furler was a consequence not a cause. It’s what they do after 10 or 20 years. All of them, not just Profurl. But the good news is you can replace the bearing without replacing the whole furler, like I did the first time it happened, and contrary to everything every furler manufacturer says. A reasonably handy fitter or mechanic can do it for you. And the bearings are remarkably common.
Arrghhh! Good luck, guys. Hope you get all fixed without many delays
My mates and I have a rule, problems can snowball that's fine but when we have 3 totally unrelated and unexpected problems even if we are able to overcome each one individually we bin what ever we are doing and head for safety. Before we put this rule in place or when the rule was just a joke that we didn't take seriously the day always ended in a hospital. Call it superstition, coincidence, guardian angel, what ever it is we don't mess with it any more. Its a more reliable indicator that things are about to go sideways than we like to admit but we all agree that when the world speaks to you its best to listen.
Always remember - #1 rule of cruising - NO SCHEDUELS...You crate a plan and Mother Nature/Neptune/Poseidon/Fate/...Insert your choice here.... say "hold my beer!" It really does not matter because the two of you seem to have fun no matter where you end up - Thanks for taking us along
Enjoy this week sailboat ⛵️ sailing video as do shake down cruise! Have safe cruise as crossing oceans 🌊! 😘⛵️😀 Mike from Missouri
Awesome episode as always. looking forward to seeing the furler fix.
I enjoy your video’s!!!! When a women is blessed with natural beauty you can tell its real when she is still beautiful without makeup and that is Adam’s partner Kiara!! Two attractive and intelligent people on an epic life journey who know procrastinating when sailing is risky thus I recommend Adam’s procrastination on marriage is risky….. Make it happen Adam !!
You should do a detailed rebuild on your furler! I’m about to need to do one on my Profurl which also happens to be on a Tayana 42.
Keep smiling you two.
good stuff
I saw @9:20 that the head stay was somewhat loose... It was a good decision to stop in Mindelo to fix the furler situation prior to crossing the big blue. Cheers
Like to learn more about the furler. We have the same one. We used a slightly thinner line on it than the original and works well so far. Try to minimize the friction on leads aft.
Awesome video . Nice to see the goods and bads of sailing
Excellent episode!
Safe trip.
Love y’all, keep on keeping on 💪🤙
Love you guys, keep on smiling, just another incident.
You'll be ok, I have faith in u 2
It's only a problem if you can't fix it and can't continue without it. You got this ....
Older Profurls are known to have bearing problems. Hope you get it sorted without too much delay and grief. Sailing deep downwind angles wing-on-wing with a following sea tends to be quite rolly, particularly with double ended boats without much form stability aft. To understand why, ever tried to stand mid point in a canoe with the bow resting on a river bank and the stern in the water? That's analogous to what the wave trap is doing to the hull. But fortunately there are things that help. When running deep, try a sail setup with about 2/3 of your total sail area with the mainsail to leeward and about 1/3 total sail area poled out to windward. For most boats this will be much less rolly than equal sail area on both sides. Twisted open leaches when running wing-on-wing also contributes to rolling. So, vang down the mainsail to close off leach twist and lower the outboard pole tip to close off jib/genoa leach twist. Note that rigging to pole bridles to the pole tip will reduce the risk of breaking the pole since it avoids adding bending moment mid point on the pole. Hope the rest of the crossing goes smoothly!
Self inflicted...... You are going straight to the heat zone which is the equator . Red heads need not apply for that job. 👍👍😅✌️ Trust me, I am One. 🤩
You all are wonderful!
Didn't read comments but I'm guessing someone probably already has suggested simple bearing failure. Once the bearing collapses it gets ugly in there, but the fix is easy back at shore. Bearing kits are available from Wichard with new bearings, circlips and seals. Needs to be done every 10 years with the NC/LC 42 and 32 furlers. Otherwise profurl units are dependable and robust. I have 2 on my cutter. Sorry this happened out there. You didn't do this, the wrap happened because the drum raised by the width of the bearing that disintegrated. The seals probably failed a while back and the poor bearing has been suffering seawater and washed away lube. Wait until you feel how easy these furl when the bearings function!
Exact same thing happened to us. We also taught at the beginning that is was because of the wraps under the drum but finally realized that the breaking of the bearings was the cause of all this. Sailing on a cutter rig was not so dramatic, it ended just going slower for the crossing.
You subjected the poor dolphins to the Jackson 5? A better point is you have the Jackson 5 on board!
Spent ages looking in to and contradicting a comment you made before realising I had go it wrong: I misheard.
15 mins later ... "Hey, great video, guys! Love it, as always" (I'm a tosser)
Loved the discussion and banter at the end! (16:43 onwards?) All of humanity is the same - OK, except for the freaks
good it happened before you were half way to Martinique
Put the spinnaker up!
Glad you all are safe, Sailing Sunday mentioned you were in Port with them, I guess that was Cape Verdi. Or is that channel Monday Never. Well lots of people pop up on Their Tube.
Great video, thanks!!
I knew the original boat that Tayana was conceived from. Can't remember her name now - I believe it began with the letter K. She was wooden, in Shilshole Marina in Seattle, grey hull - lovely. She was for sale 2 years ago at the Port Townsend Wooden Boat show. Don't know where she is now - but great history which you probably know. Love your videos and the interactions with other TH-cam sailors. Lived aboard in Seattle on an Alden 33 - wooden boat sailor and fan. Raced T-Birds, and had a wooden Vashon Island Cutter (Bill Garden) in Sausilato.
Remembered the boats name - Bolero, a Garden design.
good call on the divert gang!
Great 👍 episode
Living the dream
You’ve got this .good call
👍👍👍👍👍
Lately I’ve seen and deal with lots of Profurls with the same problem. A bit unreliable after 10 years… usually the bearings just give up the ghost and fall apart…
We got into that same problem in our way from Hampton to Guadeloupe. It broke exactly like that. We do have a cutter rig so we could continue on and change that whole button part in Martinique. Looks like a problem with Profurl.
Ah! You two have gotten all your bad stuff over and done with. Only good stuff left? Right! 😉👍
Goodness me there sure was a lot to deal with!
👍
Maybe you need to get another Christian priest's blessing for the yacht . Look what happened last time you did this, God looked after you; everything came together; and you had a great voyage! Cheers and beers.
As it is at sea the land rule of hitting it with a heavy hammer seems to not apply, oh well.😉😄
Hi there adventurers, enjoy the Cape Verde islands ! You mentioned that you downloaded charts of the world for Opencpn for free . Can you tell me where I can find these on the internet ? I’ve been searching for a while but none of them free … feedback is much appreciated. Good winds and save crossing. Jean
Good thing I have these 3 apples Amy gave me
Love the adventure. Looks to me like that strangle on the bottom of the drum popped the snap rings that hold the bearing and all the goodies in place. Profurl made these out of carbon steel and are prone to corrosion. I suspect you are going to have a fight on you hands to get it apart now.
Delmas are for solving. We have confidence in your skills.
I believe your title meant to say "300nm", not "300mn"
what's wrong with mautical niles... (from over here in the dyslexia section)
Another channel I watch also had furler troubles. Seems to be going around.
