We are FINALLY getting out of here! [EP 116] Sailing 350 miles to St Martin
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2024
- Only 3 days after finishing up our rigging we decided to give it a good test… a 360 mile test sail in fact in St Martin.
We were both very excited to undertake e a multi day passage and chose a longer passage mainly for this reason. Our other deciding factor during these uncertain times was finding a place that accepted visitors with minimal PCR tests required. St Martin ticked these box.
After checking out of Grenada, we got the boat ready to leave for a multi day passage.
We were a little rusty while hosting all sails, we got them set and settled in to enjoy the ride. Within our first 24 hours we saw a range of wind and sea states and our first night was a bit of an induction of fire.
Our first 24 hours saw us sailing over 140 miles and as the sun set the afternoon of the second day, we neared Domenica, in the middle of the island chain.

After binging this entire series...Adam...im gonna have to ask you for at least 2 videos a week. Just do an unedited 10minute Q&A along with your regular weekly. I'm now on a 5 year plan to buy a boat and go sailing because of you guys...I cant wait! Question for your Q&A (feel free to dedicate an entire episode): The story of how you 2 met! Spare no detail!
Glad to see, in one of the drone shots, that you received and installed the missing solar panel.
You want to know something I'm starting to enjoy watching you two as much as I like watching adventures of an old Sea dog
good going kids
congrats on leaving after 8 months! Fair Winds from Boston!
Two things I'd really like a sailing channel to focus on are sail plans/changes (drone & deck footage, maybe split screen) and storage containers.
I'm trying to end our use of single-use plastics and very durable reusable containers are hard to find
What a beautiful video. Loved to see you both so excited and happy! Dolphins were an added bonus ! x
How could anyone not enjoy your channel. Infectious enthusiasm and optimism abound. Fair winds and following seas. 👍
Spent the day running around in -4C temps. The awesome sailing footage provided a much needed attitude adjustment. Thank You!
Love it
You guys!..amazing!...beautiful films, beautiful people. Interesting, informative and entertaining all the way through....heartwarming. Have been hooked from episode 1 and during lockdown 2 (England) have binge watched your entire list in an addicted fashion. I have laughed and cried with you all the way.....Thank you so much.....Adam, coolest and kindest nerd ever, don't ever stop explaining the technicality of sailing or shouting at Dolphin....Khiara...a beautiful English rose inside and out ...talk about England's loss and Australia's win eh!?
Love You guys x.......and Milly too of course.
All the best to you both. From a whistful non sailing bloke on south coast of England.....
Make sure you check out Orient Beach on St. Martin.
Awesome vid.
St. Martin is great. Was about to buy a Bayfield 36 in the bay. But as we all are well aware about Mdm Covid and her walkabouts on the planet. Impossible to take a flight from The North to The Warmth. So no adventure.
But now in the house in Madeira. Everything’s even better. Pretty content follow these two wild cats round and about the Salty waters. Yeah!
Congrats to the two of you on making the jump to Saint-Martin, and as always those happy smiles!
Its great to actually see you sailing again! I'm realizing that sailing really means "boat work" and not actually controlled movement by using the wind. I wish you smooth sailing and good health.
St Marten was destroyed by that hurricane and still needs all the help it can get. I know the island from before and enjoyed the food in the French area and drinks and w**d in the Dutch part. The last time I was there was 2002,before too much development was done.
Enjoy sail⛵️ to St Martin 😘⛵️😀 Mike from Missouri
If only I could be there with you. I've seen her when she is mad, I've had to tie myself onto my bunk because the first night I found myself on the deck. Spent manys the night either on watch or at the helm and like you, I'll never grow tired of the deep blue and the porpoise and dolphins and the whales. Whish I was there. Great to see those smiles, even when the seas are boisterous.
Yay! Finally some sailing. I'm also really pulling for you guys to get out of the Caribbean and out into the rest of the sailing world.
Best sailing channel! Thanks guys for sharing
Still #1 of sailing ladies! Nicely done, happy to see you on the move.
0:15 "Saint Martin or bust!"
Brave words considering your luck so far, my friend.
So happy to see the outcome was Saint Martin and not bust.
Outstanding video work and sure enjoy your positive outlook and sense of humor....the entire world could use a bit more of that. Love the fly paper hanging in the galley. Reminds me of being a kid at summer camp!!
Great to see some good sailing👍😁😁
Hello, if you plan on sailing the BVI make sure you register the boat before you get in their waters. Otherwise, if you sail unannounced and the border patrol catches you the fine is $20K. A friend of mine paid it. Just an advise.
So so so nice to see you sailing again....I am so jealous but in a positive way of course...thank you for sharing this wonderful journey with us.
Infectious to watch. Thank you for taking my mind off the day.
Great episode loved the sailing and the dolphins 😁👍👍👍
Cheers to new adventures and wonderful dolphins 🐬. Poor Princess Margaret will be missed I’m sure! Following along from the oldest city in the US Saint Augustine Florida! ☀️
I do enjoy the two of you. I do not say it often enough but I am saying it today. Thank you for putting yourselves out here and I do hope you are well and stay that way. .
Brilliant guys so glad you are on the move. Dolphins are so cool.
Always the same. Always making mondays bearable, no problem forgetting work. Coming home to find a new episode, always what we needed, cheers from Kansas.
Glad to see your on the move again! Fair winds and following seas and safe travels!!
Love watching 2 of you. Hope your travels take you to Mediterranean one day. Maybe there would be chance to meet Millennial Falcon. ❤️❤️❤️
Them dolphins have probably been missing all the sail boats over the last few months, they were probably very happy to ride a bow wave for a bit of fun !
so happy to see you on the water!! love you guys!
Great video
Absolutely . How could you ever get tired of dolphin watching ? :)
Always smiling faces, and even more so this week - off for a good sail. Keep safe.
Happiness is setting sail .... 👌🏽⛵️💯
Well done kids Punt high and follow through
😭😭😭 I miss night sailing!! ... In good, constant, calm weather 😜 Nice one guys, must of felt sooo good to finally leave Grenada! ❤️❤️❤️
thank you loved this all the best and take care......you have taken me to another place from this challenging time....enjoy x
Enjoy your sailing ⛵️ on sailboat ⛵️ after checking out today! 😘⛵️😀 Mike from Missouri
Good to see you sailing again
Good adventure and a good story.
Finally! Sailors are sailing!
Safe sailing Both, been great watching you throughout lockdown in the UK. Look forward to seeing you both soon on the next video x
Awesome to be sailing again. If you head back south at some point, try and make Tabago. It's often overlooked by cruisers, but with Grenada, my favorite Carib island (my wife's also a Trini). Great hiking and waterfalls, and numerous small bays with fishing villages or some with nothing but palm and coconut trees. Check it out when Trinidad opens up.
I had a question referring to a Q&A video previously. When asked about getting into sailing Adam mentioned going to or hanging out at a yacht club, are yacht clubs pretty friendly to noobies typically? I can say I know what a forestay is now lol.
Glad to see you moving again! And happy to be so!
If you can't see the gauges with polarized glasses turn your head 90*. Nice to see the jerry jugs gone from the side deck/toe rail. Your stanchions will thank you someday. If you are getting new sails consider going back to the original Yankee jib which is higher cut so a tad less sail but as you furl it in it holds shape better so no moving the block to optimize the shape. Also kinder to the sail. Nice video. Lovely to be on a reach in the Caribbean.
You both are so awesome 🤩 keep it up 🤙🏼
Nice, glad you're sailing again!
Brilliant episode
Nice video good to see you sailing again
That was great. Millie is zooming. Best wishes, stay safe.
Come to the realization that the biggest trajedy of covid masks is not seeing smiles, thanks to you two for lighting up my screen with your smiles
Smiling Millenial Falcon.
Or where I'm from it hides everyone's snub angry judgment faces ! Ct! And helps me out as I don't where masks !
@@andrewbowlgarte4738 And you also don't do grammar. Maybe a combined problem.
Thanks so much for taking us along on your journey 💞
Congrats mates.
Awesome! Great to see you on the move guys!!
The new cameras are absolutely brilliant, good choices. Cheers
Oh, when do the new sails come in?
Losing the lazyjack line is a rite of passage - and no one can ever explain exactly how it happened :D
Nice to see you off for distant islands again, looking forward to new adventures.
Yay
Dolphins off the bow at sea never gets old, only bettered by breaching whales, stay safe, making good time at 7's 👍
On the move👍👍
Congrats on making it out of Grenada!
Mercury 8 Thats the Great Tohatsu motor underneath that cover...Suprized its long shaft.. Videos very enjoyable to watch..Boat is fast now!! G.T. S/V Silver fantasy
Esta reina es la más bonita de todos los canales de navegación. Guys greetings great channel
'Lovin' your crossing...Highest Blessings
Great trip hope all is well, we`ll be on StJohn starting Dec 5 Love to buy you a drink and dinner.
Hi Guys , Love your Vids , thanks for sharing your lives with us . 🇿🇦
I just bought a Lexus that has heads up display. I just went to the eye glass store a bought a couple pairs of sunglasses. On the way home I noticed that I couldn’t see the HUD with my new sunglasses. The eyeglass store was great. They replaced the lenses to a non polarized one and every thing is great.😎😎
Good to see you out on the water again, as ever, a lovely insight into your lives. Thank you.
Probably been said before now but put your head side ways and you'll see the instruments..
Over seven knots in a Tayana is pretty good going! You must really understand your boats sailing qualities to be able to sail her at that pace!
Absolutely lovely!
Alright..At the 13:50 mark I saw your Midship cleat. A line short enough that it couldn't ever get caught in the Prop. would be good to have boline tied at the cleat base .... to Dock with.... one line...midship line...for instant control...Though seeing you, Miss, racing up and down that dock..well that was of course the highlight....G.T. You could run through the dock cleat when the boat settles and directly back and Cleat Hitch the line. Then just untie from onboard when you leave.
I need to build up the guts to do my first ocean passage. Whenever that happens I will most definitely be making a TH-cam video of it like y’all did, way cool.
Cold and rainey in Holland, nice weather there. Hey and no "oops " from kyahra so keep sailing.
So happy to see ya'll Sailing again. I hopefully will be starting in May from Annapolis... I know, just prior to Hurricane season....I'll be traveling the ICW as a precaution though...headed South. Good on ya!!
Love watching you guys hope to join you for a raft up one day, but I gotta get the boat its coming....
There are only two TH-cam channels I watched every single video on... and this is one of them! (The other is Sampson Boat Co. where Leo is rebuilding the Tally-Ho.)
Then you need to check out Free Range Sailing!
Have a couple of drinks at the buccaneer Beach Bar. I'm sure you'll shop at the Market Garden. Welcome to SXM 🙂
You have to be on a good heel to use polarized glasses with your instruments, that or just tilt your head. :)
9 months at the same place for sailing globe trotters I guess that is eternity...but it's almost the length of the night in the polar regions. 😜
I loved the video! Stay safe ;O)
OMG, "Khiara", you are an English Rose (Tomboy). Could a Man ask for anything more, Lol....."Adam", your some lucky Guy. Good Sailing You Two !
Such fun to watch thanks. For sharing. In Ohio we are expecting 12 inches of heavy snow
Ripping it up 👍
"wire leader" Adam. maybe see you in SXM oneday soon.
140-150 mile days, just trucking along. can't wait until you get your new sails, you'll become obsessed at squeezing out speed and setting daily records. soon?
Oh no you guys are leaving my country 😫😫😫
mince pies n custard has gotta be a treat on the shopping list. better than fish surely he he Is st martin the island with the scary airport?
This channel was a first for me. I like the spontaneous attitude 👍 Never understand the drooling fanboys on other women sail channels. But have to admit, I love a "red hair" 😊
You kept referencing curacao but were super well east of it in Grenada?
So happy to see you each week, but happier now to see some sailing and non-Caribbean destinations!!
There's a website online for pilot's sunglasses. They are not allowed to use polarised for the same reason they're a nuisance on a boat.
Guys, probably has been mentioned but I missed it ... what’s the camera your using at the beginning of this video? Quality of the image was great, perhaps the light.
