A massive thanks to Elsa Secco (an incredibly talented motion graphics designer) from elevenkeys.tv, for the beautiful and cute new intro! I met Elsa during my latest visit to Paris, and in spite of being WAY too talented for us, she created this little piece of art for us ❤ Hope you guys love it as much as we do!
This has to be one of my favorite videos. I loved the new intro, great job!! Also, to see to see Ryan’s fun side was great. Sophie you always make me laugh!!
Love your videos! I was born in Osage, Iowa. Lived in KOKOMO, INDIANA, and retired at Delco Electronics in KOKOMO, INDIANA. We live in New Port Richy, Fl. and I've been benging your videos. Loved it when Ryan sang KOKOMO BEACH !!! KEEP up the GREAT sails and videos !!!
If there's an award for lightest/funniest episode on a sailing channel, about waiting for a weather window, not only do you win it, but the award should be called The Sophie
Great Episode. With a wide-ranging emotions from anxiety of having the possibly of a sailboat anchor drag into you, to laughter & fun, Sophie getting "slighty" intoxicated, to see Ryan relax and cut loose with a song & dance. Next it would be great to see him do a little pole dance 🕺 💃. As aways, fair winds, be safe and be real. SV Misty Blue Yonder
Okay Sophie as I don’t drink alcohol I can tell you that there is a downside to my lack of drinking compare to you. As a non-drinker when I wake up in the morning that’s the best I’m gonna feel all day. However, if you’re a Sophie type person who enjoys a drink or two with friends in a safe environment you know and can be rest assured that you will wake up and gradually feel better as the day goes on. Aren’t you lucky in knowing this. thank you so much for your channel is it lift my spirits.
Sophie way to have some fun with the action edits, loved it. Ryan it good to see your relaxed life sofa dancing, and when needed working as a crew to get it done. Great video guys, thank you for sharing.
I liked Ryan's radio test. Sorry for late and missing comments, things are bit choppy with life (it's been hard couple of years). But I always catch up with video and love them.
Lolll 18:13 Good morning.....(sophie your face....priceless) les lendemains de veille au Swizzle inn...jamais facile loll . Be safe for the next adventure, can't wait to follow your progress, and congratulation for this nice video. Bon vent Polar Seal
Poor Sophie, over exposure to rum swizzle! This reminds me of a week sailing 20 years ago in where we had a plan to sail down to Douranenez. The weather shifted and so make a dash for Perros-Guriec, and try and get through the lock while the tail end of a hurricane blew threw. After 48 hours we were all well pickled in Ricard pastis.
Memorable Bermuda hangover Sophie ! Ryan, we have the "Beyond Meat" burgers for a vegetarian equivalent to a steak. What the price of the each PCR test in Bermuda $ ? If the neighbour's boat continued to drag anchor to the point of sure collision do you defend it by placing fenders at you bow or do you cut the bitter end of your anchor rode, place a bouy to mark your anchor and motor away. Then come back to the bouy after the storm have passed, locate the rode end, use a line to hoist it back to your boat ? Great adventures and safe passage. Thanks.
I think that for the three of us, the entire testing protocol ended up costing a little over 200$. "Funny enough" we have been in that situation already, where a boat dragged onto us, and it's really hard to say what we would do, cause it really depends on the situation. What we ended up doing was raising our own anchor, and it was absolutely chaotic. Unmanned boats on anchor during a storm are a nightmare.
Been in St. George's Harbour many times and have been through as much or worse at anchor each time. You have to keep a close eye on the upcoming winds and move in advance to the correct side of the harbour in advance. While YOUR anchor might hold, there are often lots of other boats (as you found out) that drag. No fun to be in that situation so set yourself up in advance to be on the lee shore. There is good holding on both sides.
A lot of boats do not have anchors, they have plows, plows do not anchor - they plow. So, if you do have an anchor - you need to watch what comes down plowing from upwind...
OK I’m looking forward to the point where you get to where you guys pretty much are now I know I guess so much has happened since Bermuda I’m just I don’t know love you
Just catching up on your latest adventure guys. What a fantastic videos. Thanks for your honesty and openness - it does make a huge difference to the learning from your sailing experience and the joy of watching the videos. One question - my Raymarine VHF is 240 E DSC and am looking to replace. What was your replacement?
What a great comment to wake up to Nanto, thanks you! :) We upgraded to the Raymarine Ray90 and are in the process of installing a wireless second station in the cockpit.
8:12 This landlubber learned to avoid lee shores on anchor in storms. But, what's the procedure when "lee shore" is everywhere? 20:05 brilliant show of "Mr. Beach Boy" and his Show Girl!
Rum Swizzle .... yeesssssss - like it, thats life :-) but: "with no ice" hmmmm - that can be the hell ;-) thanks for this Video = a really very good Team(!) mina bästa hälsningar från Österrike
Oooooh that's so cool! I really wanted to buy some merch from the Swizzle inn, but had a really hard time finding a T-shirt my size at their store. We shall be back though ;)
Ryan, you’re not alone when it comes to your man crush on Andy. I was at a 59 North event a few years ago talking with a group of women who all described their husbands as having the same crush. You should start a fan club! Side note: from this point forward, your singing should be referred to as the ‘Polar Squeal’ When going for those high notes, ya gotta want it! Thanks for sharing your experiences and providing inspiration 🙏
Guys, that was totally worth the wait to see that episode. Pitchers of swizzles can't be beat. Brought back some great memories of my last trip there. We cheated though, we were staying at the resort next door and were able to walk back. Kudos for making it back to the boat safely. Swaggering in style!
The memories of our time at the Swizzle Inn still live very close to my heart... I sometimes have cravings for their delicious chicken fingers and honeymustard sauce, with a couple of jugs of Swizzle to rince it out. We shall be back :p
Oh wow.. 16 secs in and I had to back up and re-watch the new intro... nicely done!! Did you create that? How? With what? thanks!!! Did you know that buildings in Bermuda are required by law to have roofs that collect water, and to have and maintain a cistern. They are inspected and you get fined if you do not do what needs to be done. There is also a government run dairy farm so the island has fresh milk.... many interesting things about Bermuda.. like it used to be covered with massive trees, but of course they are all gone now... ;(
Aaaah so happy you noticed! I did not do it myself, a super talented motion graphic designer did it for us. She was honestly way too good to work with us, but did us a big favor and created this cute intro! :) (I have a lot of skills, but motion graphic design is not one of them!)
@@RyanSophieSailing I noticed because I also produce videos for my own channel.. Here is a short and awesome sunset video I made last week,, have a glass of wine and relax watching this .... ua-cam.com/video/FoJIL27gPVM/v-deo.html
Fun! I hope you took advantage of being in Bermuda to buy lots of Stugeron 15mg so that you will never be seasick again. BTW, who was your weather router?
@@RyanSophieSailing Which may be one of the reasons that you don't feel so well when the weather get rough. Try the Stugeron 15mg. You won't be sorry you did.
Exactly zero, I promise you. I know that it will be hard for anyone watching our videos to believe, but life with Ryan is actually like living in a musical! Most times, he makes his own lyrics though. It's entertaining :p
So, were you relaxed to go, or Rum-swizzle-relaxed to go? Just asking. (Skojar bara, men du är aprolig när du är berusad!) /Catta ps - it is a hypothesis that when you get drunk, you tend to show your TRUE self. I just LOVE your "true self". Drunk Sof is AMAZING.)
We were all sort of "relaxed to go", PLUS a new addiction to the Swizzle, hahahah! :D My drunk self is very embarrassing, but I'm glad it made you laugh 😂
Why doesn’t anybody use anchor markers? A marker on a reel that you attach before dropping the hook. It keeps other boats awareness of where your hook is,
Oh how that comes Sophie, a few thinks in 3 weeks, in light winds, are brocken? I wish you get big waves, with schort period of interval time, during 20 days. Afterwards, you may start to understand, for what is made, a blue-watter ocean going s.v. haull.
Dude... Are you telling me that on your "blue water ocean going boats", canvas never rips and electronic equipment never fails?! Cause dang... wouldn't that be awesome 😂 If you want to poke fun at our philosophy about boats, I recommend you go for something a little more structural next time. I was going to wish you a lifetime of looking like a fool in the comment section, but it seems I don't need to.
Governments should spend their efforts teaching the masses what they can do preventing covid instead of just testing for it. There are many things you can take. Vitamin D3 is a big one. Especially since winter is approaching. Good luck people. 👍👍👍
Sophie, why have you decided to start saying A-zores? Why do Americans say A-zores? They have several states, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas and Atlanta, as well as, of course, America. Not one of them is pronounced like they pronounce A-zores. When your American friends say A-merica, A-rizona and A-laska I'll accept A-zores. Sort them out please it sounds ridiculous.
In all fairness, we did not buy that equipment, it came with the boat. Also, by nature, everything that's placed on a boat has built in obsolescence :p

For Ryan’s singing alone this videos gets a 👍. What raw talent has he been hiding.
That was the most hilarious episode since a long time. I just love your way of storytelling, Sophie!
I love drunk Sophie so much! I actually have tears in my eyes from laughng. Thank you X

I guess that is boat life. You guys sure make that waiting for a weather window entertaining!
"We sail sober." Wise words. Excellent. Soyez Prudent.
I really enjoyed this one you were so funny Sophie!!
Was so glad to see the Rum Swizzle again in your video. Just as funny as the first time.

Vegetarian steak dinner is an eggplant parmigiana. The best!
Thanks for a delightful video with so many chuckles!
Eggplant Parmigiana! That's interesting! :) Thanks for the tips! :)
You guys are fun... safe travels... now I have to play Bermuda kokomo song.... thanks
That song stayed in our heads the entire time we were there! :p
There are few things in life, as funny as a French person, speaking English when drunk,
To be fair, I suspect the reverse is much more catastrophic ;)
Wow. I got nervous while watching the stormy seas. I am touched by the courage you have.😀👍👍

I'm laughing so hard at Sophies comment about the bus driver, that I may need medical attention
It was SUCH a crazy ride. Seriously, Space Mountain has nothing on that driver.
This reminds me of my navy days. The time I drank a gallon of cheap wine...Oh the pain...

You were so fortunate to have Anette as a crew member!
Yes, we absolutely were, Anett is and always will be awesome :)
Damn! Drunk Sophie is kinda fun.
I added a switch to my VHF radio from the mast head to a smaller FM radio antenna on the stern. That allows for a backup for emergency
the girls are swizzled out :)
Great video Sophie, There's always shit to fix on a boat, You'll have to be careful with them rum swizzles next time 😋
I knew it from the very first sip: "Strong, but hiding it well".
OK I’m looking forward to the point where you get to where you guys pretty much are now I know I guess so much has happened since Bermuda I’m just I don’t know love you
