Discovering 110 year old technology used in modern day Americas Cup boats - Report 25
This week we sail further down into the Bras D’or lake system to Baddeck. A quaint and beautiful town that embraces its heritage, history and - tourists. Its a fantastic stop and we stepped back into time to the late 1800’s and dive into the birthplace of the Telephone and the life of Alexander Graham Bell - an extraordinary man that has a rich history far beyond the invention of the telephone - which is what they conventionally teach you about in middle school. We LOVE learning the history of the areas and places we visit and we love sharing it with you. This week we take a little more time to share with you the incredible spectrum of Bell’s inventions and life here in Baddeck Nova Scotia. Living on the water - Bell had a fascination with sea faring far beyond anything we previously had known. Nearly everything Bell designed was FAR ahead of hist time. His home (still kept in the Bell family) was clearly visible to us as we passed by “Red Head” on the water - and even that edifice is a sight to behold!

Crossing the Cabot Straights - Saying goodbye to winter sailing and Newfoundland! Report 24
Переглядів 1,5 тис.Рік тому
We FINALLY depart Newfoundland bound for Nova Scotia. This was a trip we intended to do way back in November December last year - but alas the weather gods decided we would be better off in Newfoundland and the North Atlantic for some winter sailing! And boy what stories we were able to share! Living off grid of the coast of this remote feeling island was an exceptional experience and one we wi...

We are about to say goodbye to Newfoundland - finally.... After spending 6 months sailing around the island in winter, we are ready for some warmer temperatures further south.

We made our final preparations for crossing to Nov...
Best anchorage in Newfoundland - Report 22

Lucky for us - the swells were too rough in our intended anchorage and forced us to move around the corner to the spectacular "Cul De Sac" amphitheater!

Beyond the drop dead spectacular scenery we found yet another old outport just barely noticeable after the years and Mother Nature have almost reclaimed...

We have shown bits and pieces of Hakluyt in previous videos - but here is the overview of Hakluyt's main features.

She is a mix between a live aboard and expedition style sailboat leaning mo...
Rough sailing - day one back on the ocean again - Report 19

We finally get sailing again after 6 weeks of doing repairs and making modifications to Hakluyt. We didn't mind letting Mother Nature blow some of her last breaths of winter while we were tied up in a safe harbour. Our first day out however was a rough one - but it ended up being fortuitous as we discovered one of our (now) favourite anchorages. It feels great to get going again - but that firs...

We sail to an amazing white sand beach that would otherwise be mistaken for somewhere in a much lower latitude. The fjords were frozen up so this was a great little gem to stumble upon along the south coast of Newfoundland. Surrounded by frozen lakes and waterfalls - winter still has its grip on the anchorage. But that doesn't stop Judith from taking an icy cold plunge in the beautiful water! A...

After retreating from Grand Bruit back to Burgeo to dodge another series of potent storms, we eventually find some peace in winter's first spell of "calm".

Luckily we were invited to stay at the Coast Guard dock and th...

    Hi guys , i’ve just watched your video And loving the idea of going 100% electric. I am in contact with Wayne Peters from Ocean Volt . I’m thinking about the same setup as you have just smaller. I’m looking to purchase an island trader 38, which I intend to sail singlehanded from Portsmouth UK, around Ireland up the West Coast of Britain, up to the Faroe islands then Iceland, and Greenland before going down for Antarctica. But the issues that you guys seem to be having with regeneration !! Would be a big problem for me on such a small boat. I know have lots of videos to catch up on. Wishing you “Fair Winds and Following Seas”.❤️💙😘😘🙏 ,

    Just finished watching your series, and am hoping you guys continue. I've been to NFLD many times, but have never appreciate it the way you guys presented it with all the scenic coastline drone shots. Especially the winter ones. I'm surprised tourism NFLD doesn't sponsor some of your content. NFLD could be a mecca for this type of cruising. My dream was always to buy a boat and sail N. Pacific and Alaska, however, you've convinced ne NF is a more logical start seeing as I'm already in eastern Canada and have family in NF. I'd love to explore all the fjords an inlets as the are now, at least before they start erecting massive wind turbines along the various pristine coastlines. Anyway, love to see some sailing up the coast of Labrador and the Arctic. Fort Conger would be an interesting destination. Good luck with your ventures.

    My Grandfather was from Grand Bruit. He met my Grandmother there. She was the teacher and moved to Grand Bruit from Woody Point to teach school.
