  • From 0 to cruising full-time: Back to where our sailing adventure started!
    Three years ago, when Ryan and I had just met on Tinder and he came up with that crazy idea that we should quit our jobs and go sail the world, we had no idea what we were doing.
    Our friends more or less laughed at us when we first told them about our plans, and our ambitions raised a few eyebrows.
    But we had a plan, and that plan started by 1: learning how to sail.
    When asking ourselves: “how to learn how to sail”, we thought: “take a sailing course is a good start!”. With that in mind, we contacted a bunch of sailing schools around Europe. Only one responded, and it sounded good enough that in January 2016, we flew to Gibraltar for a two weeks sailing course.
    This week, we go back to where our sailing adventure started, to the very place where we learned how to sail: the Ocean Village marina in Gibraltar. This time, we sail our own boat!

    Still binge-watching my way through season one and loving every second of it. Of all things, the one thing I find the most impressive is your editing skills and the choice of music, especially from someone who's primary job isn't related to video editing and that's from someone who works in VFX. Can't believe I have 2 more seasons ahead!

  • @moriver3857
    @moriver3857 4 роки тому +2

    Well, you guys are very courageous to take on sailing the world so young, and obviously having the means to buy your boat. I started sailing dinghies up north where you don't sail in winter because lakes froze solid. After almost 10 year gap and no sailing, I bought my current boat, 33' sailboat and now after 5 years on my boat, I'm taking formal training, because I want to take the boat to the Caribbean, and cruise. So I'm doing a refit, preparing my boat and myself for self sufficient cruising. Thanks for the video, though a bit old, I'm still catching up. Follow your dreams. Fair winds.

    Ryan, take it from a "grumpy old man". Sometimes, you just have to let Sophie fling some champagne all over the decks! Thank you both for living and sharing an adventure.

    Sophie - dream in progress. Visiting Amiens France from the USA. The people here have been absolutely adorable and very kind. We struck up a conversation at the bus stop yesterday morning that was just precious. My French is a complete wreck but everyone kindly waits for me to grind out my ancient vocabulary. Incroyable.

    • @RyanSophieSailing
      @RyanSophieSailing  5 років тому

    celebration on the deck with you Sophie shooting the champagne " all over his deck " and all
    the little tells like that makes me wonder. If all your audience is laughing along with you
    why isn't Ryan.

    Hi guys!
    Next week on Tuesday, we’ll be Live on UA-cam from our winter spot in Almerimar, from 7:30PM GMT+1 (Central European Time). We will share with you what we learned from our first year of cruising, our plans for the coming season(s) and of course answer your questions!
    The season is off for us, and the videos won’t come on a weekly basis until we start sailing again in 2019. We still have some good ones in the making for the winter (one of them involves Ryan’s lithium batteries expertise…) so stay tune! :)
    /Sophie

      @MrFurriephillips 5 років тому +1

      Ryan & Sophie Sailing your videos continue to uplift me - thanks xx I learned to sail by reading Swallows and Amazons, and by watching my Dad & his friend doing it all wrong on a hired windsurfer. Dad had no clue & his pal was a sailor, but wasn’t very agile. I waited until they’d both given up & I stepped on and sailed about a bit, came back & stepped off. They were proud/annoyed/jealous :). I rekindled my love for sailing, in 2005&6 by taking a 2-week RYA Competent Crew, then Day Skipper course, in Lanzarote & Fuertaventura. I met a rich lady & she invited me to crew for her family, on a cruising holiday, sailing a 56’ yacht from St. Martin, to Antigua & all the islands in between.

    Happy Anniversary on your Return to Gibraltar. Hopefully the End of Sailing Season means the Beginning of Refit and Repair Season. I watch the Sailing Channels mostly for this, the Sailing is just the Cherry on Top. Well, also I do admire the QUALITY Ladies I'm seeing aboard these yachts. Not JUST Beautiful or pretty, a girl who lives Aboard has to Work, and Be Fairly Courageous, or the Sea will send her screaming in panic...I find this Refreshing, as I was never able to find such a one...

    It was great to see your affection for Gibraltar. My wife and I arrived there in 1991 on a trimaran (via Culatra!) with 3 very young kids, heading for Florida. But Gib kinda absorbed us and we stayed for 10 years before moving on to Sydney (by air!). I know how you felt when you tied up in Marina Bay ;-) Grinned through the whole video. Thanks! Now pondering an Oceanis 40 based in Gib....

      Do it!!!! Gibraltar is a fascinating place... When we first arrived in January, we had not expectations whatsoever on the place, as we were just learning how to sail I . Coming back this year in the indian summer, I really loved the place... it isn't the last time we'll stop by Gibraltar! And YES, you should absolutely get an Oceanis 40 and dock it in Marina Bay :) /Sophie

If it is a DSLR camera check the manual for censor cleaning or maybe get a professional to clean it. Love your videos. Tino.

    Just a little interesting point - I noticed that when you raised the Gibraltar courtesy flag, you didn't have a Q flag going up with it. The reason I find that interesting is that Gibraltar is part of the UK, which is not part of the Schengen area - so, shouldn't you need a Q flag to enter?

    • @RyanSophieSailing

      That’s a good question! We’ve seen no other boats enter Gibraltar with a Q-flag, so we didn’t really think about it 🤔

I live in Paris, but happen to be in Algeciras at the in-laws right now, as I watch you sailing along Tarifa and through the bay of Algeciras. Funny coincidence ! Also, out of curiosity regarding your process of selection for a sailing school: have you considered Les Glénans at all ? As a Bretonne, i'm sure it crossed your mind :) Can't wait to watch the 2019 season of your adventure! Fair winds! Rémi
