Fresh water - 100L in tank and 250 Litres in canisters
Diesel - 50 litres in tank and 60L in canisters
Food - lots of pasta and canned tomatoes. Various canned goods. Fresh fruit and vegetables. 10kg of potatoes (shoulda had more)++++ etc.
What a civilised crossing ! No hurry... a pretty standard cruising boat, and a great crew !
Less of a civil crew when saying goodbye. They react as every idiots in a council house...
You two seem like a sweet couple. Live life while your young adventures will never be a regret
I’d rather regret doing it than not trying and forever pondering about it 🙏
I watch a lot of sailing videos and I have to admit both of your content is enjoyable.You both make it inviting
Kudos to you for making it in a rather small boat. Cheers!
Thx! It is a big small boat 😁
Hi guy's just tuning into your adventure its great to see new faces taking the plunge, living there dreams, by the way those are plantain you fry those banners they taste better have a fantastic sailing, be safe 👌🏾
Welcome to my channel! Thats great to hear. We guessed after a while that these were meant for cooking. We just love buying stuff we dont know how to use or prepare and have a go at it :D
Super voyage, thanks for sharing!
you are most welcome
Cool adventure you guys have! We have been looking forward to seeing the crossing! Almost as we were there 😄 Greetings from your friends in Italy
Thank you! Miss you two a lot ❤️
was my first video guys I saw from you and I LOVEEEEEEE.
Thanks for share :-)
That’s awesome to hear! Hope you like the rest too 😁
Suggestion;
Use the flying fish as bait. The stinker the better when it comes to bait.
BTW, I like the way you reduce sail in ADVANCE of weather. Very smart
I will definitely try that next time! Thank you for noticing 😁
Good on ya.
We crossed in a 35 ft boat from the Canaries to Sant Martin
And that was hard enough
Good luck.
Thanks! I bet! Are you in the Caribbean now? Maybe we’ll cross paths 🙌
@@sailingfishcake yes we are in St Martin
Leaving today to sail to USVI
we are on boat, boat goes along, we eat, we sleep, we eat, we sleep, we go along, we eat, we sleep, the boat goes along.
You summed it up perfectly 👌
That's what I was thinking. I thought the video skipped or went back. I heard " so we going to have breakfast" twice. But nope, they were just eating porridge again. 😂😂 P.S then bananas looked kind of funny. Might want to cook with them next time.
Great voyage so far. I just found channel and it super cool .It seems nice voyage. Greetings from beautiful tropical Hawaii islands. Good wind.
Thank you! It’s been great so far! I love Caribbean 😍 so cool to have viewers from Hawaii, maybe one day in the future I will drop by 🌴🙌
Glad you liked the Christmas pud ..better with double cream but you went authentic with the brandy butter. You two always look at life with a smile and im glad you took the time to share this passage with us all. All the best from England. .
Oh it was great! Didnt had brandy so i improvised with dark rum which was fantastic 🙌
Have a great time on your wonderful adventure👍
thank you!
Found your channel today... Wonderful people, looking forward to your videos and life experience on your adventure. From Portland, Oregon USA... Avid sailing fan. Cheers
Cool ship name . always wash up the dishes before drinking alcohol lol 🤣
Thank you! Shoulda done that... :D
Sailing fish cake cool name tks. 4 the vid it was great.
Thank you 🙏
Excellent.. Eat more flying fish excellent use of the coolest fish.. .. Your both sweeties!
Flying fish tastes amazing! Thank you for your comment ❤️
Wow Sailor 👍
Bra film - blir kult å følge dere på ferden.
Tusen takk! Veldig kult å høre 😁🙌
Crossed once Plymouth to Corpus Christi in a GK29, then the next year a Fisher 25 from Chichester to Bermuda. Eleven transatlantics in all, plus five times across the South Pacific. In 2025 I have another 9,000 mikes planned.
great video taking everything in your stride! , for the pudding the next time pour some brandy over it and light delish!!!!- Fair Winds
Thank you! Need to get some brandy and try that next time 👌👌
I love your video guys. It is my ultimate goal.
@@cuabroadnow I hope you achieve it! Glad you enjoyed the video ❤️
Gooood morning Fishcake,
Congratulations, Fair winds and following seas and long may your big jib draw,
herzlichen Gückwunsch, hoffe, die Weihnachtskekse sind noch da,
Tebrikler, iyi yolculuklar,
Gratulerer.
Gooood morning! Thank you so much! It was a fun ride 😁
Great job bro congreat
Thanks!
Greetings from Central Oregon USA!!! I'm a new subscriber and really enjoyed your video! But I must say what torture is must be the two of you on the boat sleeping on opposite couch's across from each other... No hugs or cuddles at night 😭 lol anyway God speed and cheers!
Greetings! We really missed that indeed!
great !!! good wind!! ....please where do you buy your cap is fine!!!!
Bought it in Kristiansand/Norway from a street market. It was some Nepalese merchants who was selling it :). I want to go back someday to see if I can find more of the same hats 🙏
Loved this. Just sailing, good crew. Loved it. I do have a question. Where did you get your awesome shaggy hat from 😉? It’s awesome
Thanks! Bought it at a street market here in Norway. It was a travelling Nepalese hemp clothings shop🇳🇵
Look for us in an IP 35, beige hull, blue Bimini, and sail cover.
SV Finnback…..
will keep an eye out and say hello! :)
They are not bananas they are figs. A stubby member of the family of those fruit. The large ones are plantains.
teşekkürler.
Subscriber number 821 here,,, let’s goooooo :)
Hello nr 821! I’m glad you’re enjoying it 😁🙌
Great video, very natural and real. I couldn't see your autopilot! Do you have a wind/hydrovane or electric autopilot or both?
Thanks! It’s a electronic tiller autopilot (Simrad tp-22). Didn’t have hydrovane.
@@sailingfishcake Ahh thank you. Yes I have one of those too but couldn't see it connected to the tiller on the video,...maybe I missed it.
What batteries are you using ? And what solar?
It was just a cheap set of 2x100ah lithium batteries and a single 360w panel on solar arc +80 w panel on deck. Can’t remember the brand but it was the cheapest I could find
Lucky man
Indeed 🙏
no preventer for your main?
Always had it. Maybe it wasn’t very visible in the videos. Wouldn’t do it without
@@sailingfishcakeso do you use a boom brake and a preventer or just the boom brake ? Thanks
@@grahamatsea3575 We use both at the same time
Are you using a windvane for autohelm
Simrad tp-22 electronic autopilot
Safe travel folks.
Thanks
God seila videre 😀⛵
Tusen takk! 🙌
"not seasick, but a headache"...probably seasick. First symptoms of seasickness: headache, grumpy & irritable, feeling too hot...followed by nausea, vertigo etc
I actually didn’t know that headache was a symptom of seasickness. Always thought nausea was the only symptom 😅
Thanks for commenting! We learn as we go 🙌
@@sailingfishcake I have been sailing professionally for 40 years. My wife - a doctor - often accompanies me. She gives her own seasickness remedy - it's Phenergan, (promethazine) an over the counter anti-histamine which is great for nausea and motion sickness. It makes you a little drowsy so take a caffeine tablet with it, or just drink a strong coffee with each Phenergan. I use the smallest dose I can buy, usually 10mg and that's sufficient for 6 hours for me a 95kg old man. No side effects save a dry mouth for 95%+ of my crew
Hi,. Have you done a monthly average of full time sailing costs ??
i would say around 1400 euros total for both. Its kinda difficult to tell because some months we used more than the previous month. I would say its very possible to do it cheaper depending not much big stuff breaking down onboard.
@@sailingfishcake OK thanks for that..
We don't melt the butter in the sauce for Christmas pudding, instead just whip it up with an equal weight of sugar and as much brandy that will incorporate before it separates.
i have one more pudding, i should try that next time :)
Maybe I missed it but how did you get within a half mile 😳 of a container ship ...WITH AIS?
Nothing wrong with that, as long as you both can see each other or communicate, which we did. Half a mile is quite a bit actually
@@sailingfishcake I feel that it is nice to have radio contact with another trans-atlantic boat, albeit thousands of times heavier. The humans on the bridge of that ship probably enjoyed chatting to another soul on the same journey, especially such a tiny vessel by comparison.
Veldig bra episode. Gleder meg til Part 2!
Hva slags båt er dette? Den virker veldig romslig til å være 31 fot =)
Takk! Det er en Alo 96 bygd i 1982 Tønsberg :) god plass til å være 80 talls båt!
It’s a cooking video!
Cooking IS a big and important part of sailing! We were always grumpy if we didn’t eat well
l love have real is the video.
Thx! I try to show “as is” as much as possible 😊
Firstr 7 min in. Great so far. : )
I’m glad to hear! 🙌
35:17 so that is why the rum is gone
it's always gone!
those are not bananas, they are called plantains, more eaten fried or boiled.
That’s good to know. We had no clue but figured out how to use it in the end 🙈
It is possible you had plantain’s they look like bananas but taste different and are usually fried
yup, it was plantains. we didnt know at the time but figured out how to use it in the end. Martha baked some fantastic banana bread with it
👍
A decent catamaran does it in half that time.
Only if you can afford it yes 🙃
Half The time, 10 times the money. You sail what you can afford. Cheers.
What's the hurry?

Those bananas look like plantains…..
They were! Banana bread turned out fantastic with them though 👌
Part 1 is all about banana banana 🍌🍌banana nananan i dnt know you could make a whole episode on banana.
Mundane stuff does gets really interesting when I’m truly bored 😆
Prost !
🤪 "Promo sm"
do yourselves a favour and sort out your sound !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Naah, it’s good enough. I’m not doing this professionally or for money. But thanks for feedback! ❤️
weirdos risking their lives for nothing
While you are safe on your couch growing older. Enjoy!
@@petermiller114 i will
It literally changed my life for the better. It wasn’t for nothing
I need a life raft so bad 😮
they're so expensive! i bought a second hand one and serviced it to save some bucks. hope it still works...
