Well, just finished this episode, right after the one from last week. That was the first time in a long time I was late, and only because of the motivation Nick gave to buy a smaller, more manageable boat now instead of waiting for 'The Dreamyacht', the first of which I sailed for the last 9 days to her new homeport. Point of it all is: You're not only changing your lives around, but also motivate other people to work on changing theirs too, mine included (and are most probably letting numerous others forget about this crazy world for 20 minutes a week). So, it sure is bittersweet to leave a great home, but you're both on to a continued and even bigger adventure. I wish you all the best and will keep on cheering you on while making my own sailing adventures (Cheers Nick, you're mostly to blame and are, together with Terysa, a true inspiration;))! Have a good one! Gerrit
@@sailingrubyrose Thank you guys, I do appreciate that! But I couldn't argue with Nick's logic, so steps were (mostly) swiftly taken. I won't be sailing the Pacific on her, but if I see you on the AIS (or you find yourself around The Netherlands at some point), you should come and try to drown that ulcer into submission with some Dutch beer;)
@@onyva3256 Haha, well thank you! But how could you say no to such logic and excellent motivation?! Most of the time Nick is spot on (also in his Technical Tuesdays). It's not always easy to take such a step, but right now i'm getting into a world of adventures (really, 'doing it') of which i've only dreamt about up until a week ago. Nick's seems to be a great, level-headed guy who went through the same process quite a while ago. So not really anything that could go t*ts up there and a great rolemodel in that respect!
Hi guy's, another great story. You and Sailing Uma, RAN Sailing, Captain Q, Odd Life Crafting, Sailing Yaba, Expedition Evans and Sailing The Far Side has inspired an old sailer to take up sailing again. I just bought a nice 35 old 33 foot sailing boat and will start setting her up for some local cruising in the wonderful Danish Archipelago. Just a huge thanks from here and best of luck with Ruby Rose 2.
You guys are doing something I have wanted to do since I was a child. I've enjoyed living vicariously through you guys since I found your channel. I hope you guys continue to make videos with your new boat for years to come. You guys are in inspiration!
I managed a petrol station in the United States, and we had to manage the diesel sludge there as well. Frankly you are in a better situation with a Sail, than a motor Lorrie or trawler with no propulsion. God bless your journey.
Means a lot to many of this to be a part of the journey. Fun to learn, even better to share in the emotions! I miss the boat, and I was never on it. I feel sorry for Nick and his ulcer, and I never met you. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. ;-)
You’ve just made me remember scuba diving the Alderney Race. It was like what I imagine to being in the spin cycle. I had to physically hold the regulator in place from the turbulence. I did it once, discovered Adrenaline was brown and my dive buddy & I have memories to last a lifetime. Thank you for the show, good luck with RR2 & don’t be sad parting with RR, she did you proud.
Nick/ Terysa i have been on your journey with you both for quite awhile.. It is sad to leave Ruby Rose i am sure.. She looked after you for a long time.. I so look forward to joining you when Ruby Rose II SPLASHES .. oh joining you from my home... Be safe rest up and will keep my eyes open for your return.. And ty for the memories.. Brian
Yes nick should be much closer to Alderney to get the back eddy. We motored in a beneteau43 at 8 knots and made 2 knots over the ground when we got it wrong!. Would have worked if you did it at springs
No Booze, no Cheese, and the last sail aboard Ruby Rose, WOW Nick its a TRIFERCTA. Hope you are feeling better soon! Last sail is VERY bittersweet. Thanks for all the adventures aboard Ruby Rose guys and look forward to the next chapter aboard RR2. Fair winds and following seas Ruby Rose.
Just a quick story. Several decades ago, working for "Red Stack Tugs" in the S.F. Bay Area, the tug that my captain and I normally worked on had a shift with a new hire engineer. He used fuel from a tank that we normally never used (this was an old YTB) and contaminated the operational fuel system with the bacteria. The boat stopped and when we were "ameliorating "(thanks for the adjective) the situation, I can still see clearly, Harold, just pouring in biobor , from a 5 gal. can, straight into the sounding tube of the port, for'd tank. I told him that it was too much. He looked up and said, "chief, if a little is good, more is better." There was a lot of filter changing, but we eventually got the situation straightened out. I'm glad to be retired, but I do miss Harold and some of the challenges of being a marine engineer.
Well.... Chapter Next! Can’t wait to see the birthing of RRII.... Will be quite a change for you’s guys... Oh and there’s the matter of Matrimony... hoping we get a few pics of that launch as well! Best Always to you all... Although I’m not a wind burner I have thoroughly enjoyed the reality and educational aspects of your travels and the fine art sailing with the wind as your best friend. Bill
Sad to see the end of the French coast and the channel islands. I will also be sad to see you get off Ruby Rose for the final time. That being said, I can't wait to follow your new adventures leading up to taking delivery of Ruby Rose II and new explorations after. Nick, hope your ulcer has healed so you can enjoy a pint now and then.
To Ruby Rose, Thank you for such magical times as you sailed around the world with Nick and Terysa as your crew, I'll be sorry to see you leave them but I'm very excited to meet your younger sister Ruby Rose II. You have given us so much joy and pleasure with your adventures that it is hard for us to see you sail away with new crew, I'm sure you'll look after them with the same gusto as you did Nick and Terysa. As for your younger sister I hope you advised her of Nicks Sense of humour and all that he says is mainly just fun and tongue in cheek as for Terysa I hope you told her that she is possibly the kindest and gentlest crew a boat could wish for. I hope your new crew treat you and keep you in the custom to which you deserve. Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!!
always a good bitter sweet feeling to get home after such a long adventure. welcome home. i wouldn't have been able to sell the boat though. probably just grab provisions say hi to some family and friends and cast off back into the blue. i think the ocean was trying to tell you don't get rid of the boat.
I always go east about rather than west about as many times people turn back at corbiere due to the strong tides and nw wind colliding. Usually leave 3 hours before to get the float all the way to Aldeney, then use the back eddy to get through the race. We live in St John’s and enjoy the scrabble down to the beach. Wise decision to turn back. We went in a force 7 at night once just put autopilot on and put on a scopoderm patch went to talk to the great white telephone for an hour then was fine. Dr James N
Probably one of the hardest areas in the world to sail which is probably why the RYA use this area for the day skipper/yacht master theory passage planning etc. Anyway, glad you got through- I realise this is an emotional video but to lighten the moment - nick with the mirror in my head I was like “ and open wide, please”
Love your story, and yes a little sad to know The next chapter of this great story closes the book on Ruby Rose. However, I know that sadness will change to an eager anxiety to open the book on Ruby Rose II as your story continues in the Pacific. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us. May each day bring happiness, love, good health, safe passages, and welcoming harbors.
I watched this show after watching your last show on Ruby Rose. You were so busy on the last one that it is like this one you had more time to be emotional. Also, I was reading the comments here. You have inspired so many people to seek their dream, not wait to afford the dreamboat that it is amazing and I think a true service to making people take that step. Ruby Rose and Uma with "Don't buy a Couch" have the same theme about do it now with what you got. Maybe tomorrow will never come. Happy Trails & Bless You
Last hours on Ruby Rose coming up. That must be a bit of an awkward feeling mixed with great gratitude. It gave you guys so much. Not only to you but to your viewers as well. Thanks for all the beautiful videos on Ruby Rose and the voyages made.
Thank you for sharing this fabulous journey with us. I have enjoyed being with you both and living the dream with you. Best wishes from Perth, Australia 😎
Love the program. Bittersweet to see the transition to the Ruby Rose II, but understood. I donated my boat of 11 years and it was very rough to part with her! BTW- Universal Health Care is not "Zero Cost", it actually costs a LOT in taxes, but I'm glad your ulcer wasn't serious. Fair winds!
I mean, I know Ruby Rose is in new hands, and has been for quite some time, but I still feel a bit bad for both of you, giving her up after five or six years. I'm looking forward to updates on Australia, whether or not you've actually had the wedding yet, and any information on Ruby Rose II. I really want to thank the two of you for helping me to stay sane as I try to rebuild my life. I look forward to your adventures, your life, and the things that you do that give me hope.
Just think - I,, along with thousands of others have been following your travels aboard RR each and every week for all those years as well. Did you ever imagine that over 130,000 strangers would be so involved in your life...... Here's looking forward to RR2.
Five years ago you set out on Ruby Rose not knowing where all she would take you. You started the chapter with nothing written on any pages, they were a blank sheet waiting to be filled with adventures, hopes and dreams. As you return home Ruby Rose has done her work and returned you home safe and sound her work complete. While you close this chapter Ruby Rose has handed the baton to Ruby Rose II to start a new chapter filled with adventures, hopes, dreams and destinations only she can take you.
Living vicariously through the adventures of you guys and most of the other sailing vloggers out there. Absolutely love the way you present the sailing life. There is a raw honesty to how you are feeling at times that can be missing on other channels. Can't wait to see Ruby Rose 2 in action.
You guys were my very first sailor couple/family I started follow, well after Jacque Cousteau, that is. Now I follow 10 sailors and I'm bloody hooked with gratitude. I might be next. Thank you so much for sharing your growth in this life.
Although this could be viewed as a sad ending episode, I was pretty happy to see you all return to England. Now we get to "stew" for awhile as you prepare yourselves and us for Ruby Rose 2. :)
When one door closes another always opens. So sorry to see Ruby Rose go to another adventurous sailor but I know that you two have some new and marvelous adventures up your sleeves. Best of luck in the future!
I just read the Forbes article. Very nice, once again. Of the multitude of little things not mentioned is one my dockmates have problems understanding, "I am working". Many cannot grasp that one can really work while on a boat. Ah, but something has to pay for boat parts. Keep on the struggle to get through the COVID.
When you heard the May Day call it would have been nice if you grabbed a paper charter and plotted the coordinates and then showed us your coordinates. We all love a hero.
Hello Nick and Terysa, I came across your channel and have binged watched from the beginning, what a fantastic adventure you have both been on, it’s captivating and inspiring, I’m looking forward to following you both on Ruby Rose II, wishing you a safe passage back to blighty.
Wow, These last few episodes, Have I enjoyed them immensely. Perhaps more so because I am from jersey. I was always down the harbour and playing in and around boats since I was a young child. Just brings back so many memories for me. My father worked on many local ships and I went on so many trips to France and the Uk. I miss the real ocean seas so much. Good luck Nick and Therysa with the new cat. We all cant wait for the big splash.
It must be interesting for you both to see the episode that we are now all watching and reflecting on your penultimate sail - having been here for a couple of months. It’s sad for us now of course. I wanted to watch this this morning but I had some things to do. So good to see the end of the (your) journey KNOWING that, as you are now here in Australia, RR2 is well underway and that the episodes of the build are now not far off. (Whew what a sentence that was). I hope you guys escaped much of the weather we had up here in Sydney (and everywhere else)...Apparently, it stretched from Melbourne all the way to Townsville!!! We are recovering here in Cronulla, Sydney. Are you guys any closer to doing a sail around these parts? Pop in here at The Port Hacking River if possible as it is a great holiday and anchorage, with access to The Royal National Park, The Sutherland Shire and surrounds. Good shopping, facilities, surf beaches, etc. etc. I can lend you a car if you’re about this way for a few days. Hoping you can pop in as it is a great spot with so many secluded areas for overnighting in! Or, if you wish, I could possibly organise a sail in this area if you are interested sailing around Sydney (twilight sails on Wednesdays, weekend sails on Saturdays and Sundays). Ok, wishing you the best of weather and coastal cruising for the coming weeks/months. Cheers, GB.
Wow guys what an adventure you guys have taken us on with ruby rose. I feel honoured to have been a voyeur into your lives. Thanks for sharing guys and bring on ruby rose 2 . I raise my glass to you both. Cheers
Can't believe it's the end of the current journey! Feel like part of your family (not a stalker!!) cannot wait to see what you do with the seawind. Keep going as there are so many of us wishing you a speedy onward journey. Bon journee.
Loved the episodes, locations, the boat and your sense of humour. After months of sailing the beautiful French coastline the thought of sailing to Blighty would give me a stomach ulcer too 😬
Another great one, had the same problem with the 'race' a few years ago, I was told that it runs differently on timing in the neaps from the locals and they are probably right from my experience,
It must be a bitter sweet moment to tie up for the last time on RR1... What did Winston Churchill say, "this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning"... Many sea miles and adventures are to come... Life is great...
Super excited for Ruby 2!!!! Thank goodness you vlogged great memories on Ruby and will always have that!! Onward with new adventures!!! Thank you both💖💖⛵
Nick you have to stop worrying so much about things that you cannot control. They are the Most stressful and definitely contributing to your stomach condition. Less stress = more wine and cheese Cheers
At the end you really don't just ride off into the sunset like in the movies. Every day life is a challenge and that is the way it should be. Great vid guys.
It’s been great watching your videos. The way you both present, it’s like I’m in the boat with you. It must be hard being back. Do you have any plans for the future?
Nice to see you and glad you made it! I am very curious about the new RR! A nice extra is that watching your trip is entertaining but also very educational. Thanks! until next time. Marty
Wait!!! I’ve only watched a few of your episodes, and this one popped up tonight… To say that you are selling and leaving Ruby Rose?! I’ve appreciated the few episodes I’ve watched… I still may go back and watch more. I’m starting my adventures in Tahiti on my Jeanneau 53. You’ve inspired me to be sure I tell my story on UA-cam as well. Hope to see more episodes and your good storytelling ahead.
As you guys have found out, you need to update your digital tide charts frequently. The accuracy goes down as time goes on after an update. They are only predictions, this is somehing that as a charter boat captain depending on the tides I also had to learn the hard way. I found that some are accurate up to a year in advance, some seem to lose their accuracy after 2 or 3 months. I am in cook inlet which has a 35 foot tide at times so I think the problem is also magnified slightly here. It seems that high current zones are just more unpredictable.
Wrong tide: - was it the different time in St. Hellier? - on the other hand, without doing a deep calculation I'm not sure if that passage could fit - I assume, you cannot leave St.Hellier at any time due to a sill? - if you are lost, Alderney is also sooo lovely 😀 ----- Oh Terysa that was very bad: Estimating to a better arrival time normally calls Mc Murphy on the plan 😂 --- I also feel wired that this is your last sail on Ruby Rose. Fine boat!
It's been interesting following your travels through the Med, the canal and the east coast of France - I am interested in visiting the east coast of France in the future, and I look forward to seeing the next chapter in your story.
I admit I spent a few nights trying to justify selling a house and mailing y'all a check ....i'm on the great lakes and eastern seaboard ...she'd have been a great Caribbean retirement home ...best wishes and fortune with the new boat...
How apropos of Dr. Nick to use a giant mouth mirror tool to work on hard to see spots on a cruising yacht. That may be one of your finest contributions to the sailing tool kit inventory. BTW have you been called upon to provide emergency dental care to fellow cruisers during your voyages ?
Well, just finished this episode, right after the one from last week. That was the first time in a long time I was late, and only because of the motivation Nick gave to buy a smaller, more manageable boat now instead of waiting for 'The Dreamyacht', the first of which I sailed for the last 9 days to her new homeport. Point of it all is: You're not only changing your lives around, but also motivate other people to work on changing theirs too, mine included (and are most probably letting numerous others forget about this crazy world for 20 minutes a week).
So, it sure is bittersweet to leave a great home, but you're both on to a continued and even bigger adventure. I wish you all the best and will keep on cheering you on while making my own sailing adventures (Cheers Nick, you're mostly to blame and are, together with Terysa, a true inspiration;))!
Have a good one!
Gerrit
Mate, that’s Amazing! Genuine congratulations on taking the step. Fair winds and following seas and we’ll see you on the water soon.
@@sailingrubyrose Thank you guys, I do appreciate that! But I couldn't argue with Nick's logic, so steps were (mostly) swiftly taken. I won't be sailing the Pacific on her, but if I see you on the AIS (or you find yourself around The Netherlands at some point), you should come and try to drown that ulcer into submission with some Dutch beer;)
@@gerritstorm6924 Deal!
I remember that early episode and Nick’s advice is 100% spot on - brilliant that you’ve followed it!
@@onyva3256 Haha, well thank you! But how could you say no to such logic and excellent motivation?! Most of the time Nick is spot on (also in his Technical Tuesdays). It's not always easy to take such a step, but right now i'm getting into a world of adventures (really, 'doing it') of which i've only dreamt about up until a week ago. Nick's seems to be a great, level-headed guy who went through the same process quite a while ago. So not really anything that could go t*ts up there and a great rolemodel in that respect!
Happy birthday Teresa
Hi guy's, another great story. You and Sailing Uma, RAN Sailing, Captain Q, Odd Life Crafting, Sailing Yaba, Expedition Evans and Sailing The Far Side has inspired an old sailer to take up sailing again. I just bought a nice 35 old 33 foot sailing boat and will start setting her up for some local cruising in the wonderful Danish Archipelago. Just a huge thanks from here and best of luck with Ruby Rose 2.
Thank you for sharing the dream!
You guys are doing something I have wanted to do since I was a child. I've enjoyed living vicariously through you guys since I found your channel. I hope you guys continue to make videos with your new boat for years to come. You guys are in inspiration!
Great video Nick & Terysa. Sad to see this was your last sail on Ruby Rose ....look forward seeing you both on the new Ruby Rose 2 ❤️ xx
It has been a fun journey with Ruby Rose and we hope to see more adventures later on 💖
I managed a petrol station in the United States, and we had to manage the diesel sludge there as well. Frankly you are in a better situation with a Sail, than a motor Lorrie or trawler with no propulsion.
God bless your journey.
Yeah fair point
One of your best and welcome home.
Great video. I love the passage planning and then watching you handle tides and current. Bittersweet sail I’m sure but exciting future ahead.
We're all a bit gutted to see the end of your life with Ruby Rose. But we're all very excited to see Ruby Rose II being born!
Thanks mate
@@sailingrubyrose Could you provide updates on the RRII? Do you track the progress?
Means a lot to many of this to be a part of the journey. Fun to learn, even better to share in the emotions! I miss the boat, and I was never on it. I feel sorry for Nick and his ulcer, and I never met you. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. ;-)

I so look forward to joining you when Ruby Rose II SPLASHES .. oh joining you from my home... Be safe rest up and will keep my eyes open for your return.. And ty for the memories.. Brian
One of my favorite episodes. You guys do a great job of showing us the real emotions you go through. Looking forward to seeing your next boat.
Ah thanks mate
Thanks for letting me go along on your adventures. I can't wait for the ones to come on the new boat.
Yes nick should be much closer to Alderney to get the back eddy. We motored in a beneteau43 at 8 knots and made 2 knots over the ground when we got it wrong!. Would have worked if you did it at springs
No Booze, no Cheese, and the last sail aboard Ruby Rose, WOW Nick its a TRIFERCTA. Hope you are feeling better soon! Last sail is VERY bittersweet. Thanks for all the adventures aboard Ruby Rose guys and look forward to the next chapter aboard RR2. Fair winds and following seas Ruby Rose.
Such a great episode! Really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing.

Well, what was was nice and you lived it. Now there is a new chapter to open, a new boat to decorate, an new story to be written.
Nick, that was your best intro ever!
Pat yourselves on the back guys. What An amazing adventure
I expect that we are all messed up to see the end of Ruby Rose. It just feels sad. Best wishes for dealing with it!!
Probably one of the hardest areas in the world to sail which is probably why the RYA use this area for the day skipper/yacht master theory passage planning etc. Anyway, glad you got through- I realise this is an emotional video but to lighten the moment - nick with the mirror in my head I was like “ and open wide, please”
Love your story, and yes a little sad to know The next chapter of this great story closes the book on Ruby Rose. However, I know that sadness will change to an eager anxiety to open the book on Ruby Rose II as your story continues in the Pacific. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us. May each day bring happiness, love, good health, safe passages, and welcoming harbors.
Great stuff. Love the balance on your channel of sailing knowledge, travel info and personal info. Really enjoyable. Can’t wait for next episode!
Thanks mate. Spoiler alert, it’s a tear jerker
Thank you Ruby Rose................ I have LOVED your stories!!
I watched this show after watching your last show on Ruby Rose. You were so busy on the last one that it is like this one you had more time to be emotional. Also, I was reading the comments here. You have inspired so many people to seek their dream, not wait to afford the dreamboat that it is amazing and I think a true service to making people take that step.

Last hours on Ruby Rose coming up. That must be a bit of an awkward feeling mixed with great gratitude. It gave you guys so much. Not only to you but to your viewers as well. Thanks for all the beautiful videos on Ruby Rose and the voyages made.

I still get a giggle up when I remember you guys trying to land that fish from the back of your boat.
Classic Ruby Rose.
Just think - I,, along with thousands of others have been following your travels aboard RR each and every week for all those years as well. Did you ever imagine that over 130,000 strangers would be so involved in your life...... Here's looking forward to RR2.
It’s nuts isn’t it? Yeah we can’t wait for RR2
Every time you said "last time on Ruby Rose" I got emotional. Don't know how your keeping yourselves together.
Hahaha. Wait until the next episode mate . Still upsets me
same hahaha. Wonderful how one can "connect" with people and follow their journey, and somehow end up "emotionally invested" in it.
Fantastic, the closing of a chapter. Ruby Rose has done you great service. I will miss her too!
Five years ago you set out on Ruby Rose not knowing where all she would take you. You started the chapter with nothing written on any pages, they were a blank sheet waiting to be filled with adventures, hopes and dreams. As you return home Ruby Rose has done her work and returned you home safe and sound her work complete. While you close this chapter Ruby Rose has handed the baton to Ruby Rose II to start a new chapter filled with adventures, hopes, dreams and destinations only she can take you.
Bitter sweet, sad to leave Ruby Rose but exciting to be getting Ruby Rose ll. All the best, and welcome home 🇬🇧👍
Awesome guys, thanks for posting 👍
Living vicariously through the adventures of you guys and most of the other sailing vloggers out there. Absolutely love the way you present the sailing life. There is a raw honesty to how you are feeling at times that can be missing on other channels. Can't wait to see Ruby Rose 2 in action.
Us too. End of the year though
That was a great video. Thank you😎🌬⛵⚓🦘
A sweet, yet, melancholic tribute to her final sail. Strong winds ahead, for Ruby Deuce🥃
I know it is mixed emotions...I hope the new crew of RR are enjoying their adventures and you’re ready for your new boat....cue Boston Don’t Look Back
Covid bug, diesel bug, stomach bug, bugging out... Just need to dance the jitter bug and you’d have the full set! 😄
Bon voyage, SV Ruby Rose.
Haha, thanks mate
Bittersweet. Take care of yourself Nick. Hope you are all sorted now.
Enjoyed sailing with you on the Ruby Rose!!
Awesome ending to this chapter! Looking forward to the next one with your new boat!
You guys were my very first sailor couple/family I started follow, well after Jacque Cousteau, that is. Now I follow 10 sailors and I'm bloody hooked with gratitude. I might be next. Thank you so much for sharing your growth in this life.
Although this could be viewed as a sad ending episode, I was pretty happy to see you all return to England. Now we get to "stew" for awhile as you prepare yourselves and us for Ruby Rose 2. :)
Thanks mate
If you run the engine for a while at the pontoon it should take up some of the bugs as fuel circulates then check filter to see how bad it is
They only get thrown into the filters in rough seas, which is normally when you really need the engine to be working
@5:10 An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, it's clear that Nick lives by this adage 👍🏼Wise indeed.
So enjoyed the French coast and lovely villages you have been sharing with us, you will miss it!..new adventures ahead.
Great video, totally enjoyed the ride♡ being out on the waters is the best
Its being so cheerful that makes a great video lol 😂
When one door closes another always opens. So sorry to see Ruby Rose go to another adventurous sailor but I know that you two have some new and marvelous adventures up your sleeves. Best of luck in the future!
I have a feeling that the future is friendly and the new ⛵️adventures are going to be wonderful. 🌎

When you heard the May Day call it would have been nice if you grabbed a paper charter and plotted the coordinates and then showed us your coordinates. We all love a hero.
Been 'with' you since the start, enjoyed every episode. Enjoy life post RR and looking forward to seeing more of RR2 and your new adventures.
Ah thanks mate, and thanks also for sticking with us
It feels a litle bit strange to press the "👍" button. Thanks again, looking forward to see Ruby Rose ||
Hello Nick and Terysa, I came across your channel and have binged watched from the beginning, what a fantastic adventure you have both been on, it’s captivating and inspiring, I’m looking forward to following you both on Ruby Rose II, wishing you a safe passage back to blighty.
Ah thanks mate. Appreciate the support
Epic and worth the wait. Safe and sound is the only way to go! Looking forward to New chapters!
Wow, These last few episodes, Have I enjoyed them immensely. Perhaps more so because I am from jersey. I was always down the harbour and playing in and around boats since I was a young child. Just brings back so many memories for me. My father worked on many local ships and I went on so many trips to France and the Uk. I miss the real ocean seas so much. Good luck Nick and Therysa with the new cat. We all cant wait for the big splash.
Thanks mate
It must be interesting for you both to see the episode that we are now all watching and reflecting on your penultimate sail - having been here for a couple of months. It’s sad for us now of course. I wanted to watch this this morning but I had some things to do. So good to see the end of the (your) journey KNOWING that, as you are now here in Australia, RR2 is well underway and that the episodes of the build are now not far off. (Whew what a sentence that was). I hope you guys escaped much of the weather we had up here in Sydney (and everywhere else)...Apparently, it stretched from Melbourne all the way to Townsville!!! We are recovering here in Cronulla, Sydney.
Are you guys any closer to doing a sail around these parts? Pop in here at The Port Hacking River if possible as it is a great holiday and anchorage, with access to The Royal National Park, The Sutherland Shire and surrounds. Good shopping, facilities, surf beaches, etc. etc. I can lend you a car if you’re about this way for a few days. Hoping you can pop in as it is a great spot with so many secluded areas for overnighting in! Or, if you wish, I could possibly organise a sail in this area if you are interested sailing around Sydney (twilight sails on Wednesdays, weekend sails on Saturdays and Sundays). Ok, wishing you the best of weather and coastal cruising for the coming weeks/months. Cheers, GB.
Wow guys what an adventure you guys have taken us on with ruby rose. I feel honoured to have been a voyeur into your lives. Thanks for sharing guys and bring on ruby rose 2 . I raise my glass to you both. Cheers
Thank you so much mate.
Can't believe it's the end of the current journey! Feel like part of your family (not a stalker!!) cannot wait to see what you do with the seawind. Keep going as there are so many of us wishing you a speedy onward journey. Bon journee.
Hahaha, stalk away mate. Just stay out of the bedroom and we’ll be golden 😉
Maybe that's a new camera angle!! Stat safe and can't wait for your new adventures!
Nice positive video. It was interesting to travel with you.
Don’t know why but I teared up a tiny bit at end. Cheers.
Loved the episodes, locations, the boat and your sense of humour. After months of sailing the beautiful French coastline the thought of sailing to Blighty would give me a stomach ulcer too 😬
Another great one, had the same problem with the 'race' a few years ago, I was told that it runs differently on timing in the neaps from the locals and they are probably right from my experience,
It must be a bitter sweet moment to tie up for the last time on RR1... What did Winston Churchill say, "this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning"... Many sea miles and adventures are to come... Life is great...
Your attention to detail is commendable, sir!
Thanks mate.
Hope you feel better soon mate
Super excited for Ruby 2!!!! Thank goodness you vlogged great memories on Ruby and will always have that!! Onward with new adventures!!! Thank you both💖💖⛵
You two make a great team and great videos! Thank you 🌎
Our pleasure!
Nick you have to stop worrying so much about things that you cannot control. They are the Most stressful and definitely contributing to your stomach condition. Less stress = more wine and cheese
Cheers
It was fun watching your adventures! We hope you don't give it up completely, but after five years, a break on terra firma is deserved.
At the end you really don't just ride off into the sunset like in the movies. Every day life
is a challenge and that is the way it should be. Great vid guys.
It’s been great watching your videos. The way you both present, it’s like I’m in the boat with you. It must be hard being back. Do you have any plans for the future?
Nice to see you and glad you made it! I am very curious about the new RR! A nice extra is that watching your trip is entertaining but also very educational. Thanks! until next time. Marty
Thanks mate
Wait!!! I’ve only watched a few of your episodes, and this one popped up tonight… To say that you are selling and leaving Ruby Rose?! I’ve appreciated the few episodes I’ve watched… I still may go back and watch more. I’m starting my adventures in Tahiti on my Jeanneau 53. You’ve inspired me to be sure I tell my story on UA-cam as well. Hope to see more episodes and your good storytelling ahead.
Well - that diesel problem - in my eyes you were very lucky. Even if you had not such a mess in the tank - but it could be.
As you guys have found out, you need to update your digital tide charts frequently. The accuracy goes down as time goes on after an update. They are only predictions, this is somehing that as a charter boat captain depending on the tides I also had to learn the hard way. I found that some are accurate up to a year in advance, some seem to lose their accuracy after 2 or 3 months. I am in cook inlet which has a 35 foot tide at times so I think the problem is also magnified slightly here. It seems that high current zones are just more unpredictable.
So sad it’s the last sail... looking forward to Ruby Rose II.
Great video as always guys.
Wishing you both good health and can't wait for your new adventures on Ruby Rose ll.
All the best.
Cheers mate
Wrong tide:
- was it the different time in St. Hellier?
- on the other hand, without doing a deep calculation I'm not sure if that passage could fit - I assume, you cannot leave St.Hellier at any time due to a sill?
- if you are lost, Alderney is also sooo lovely 😀

Oh Terysa that was very bad: Estimating to a better arrival time normally calls Mc Murphy on the plan 😂

I also feel wired that this is your last sail on Ruby Rose. Fine boat!
Congrats. Nick good health, get well soon.
What a looonnng day trip it's been ! Thanks Nick & Tyresa
Our pleasure!
Looking forward to the new adventures!
Thanks mate.
It's been interesting following your travels through the Med, the canal and the east coast of France - I am interested in visiting the east coast of France in the future, and I look forward to seeing the next chapter in your story.
You should! really worth the trip
I admit I spent a few nights trying to justify selling a house and mailing y'all a check ....i'm on the great lakes and eastern seaboard ...she'd have been a great Caribbean retirement home ...best wishes and fortune with the new boat...
Thanks mate
How apropos of Dr. Nick to use a giant mouth mirror tool to work on hard to see spots on a cruising yacht. That may be one of your finest contributions to the sailing tool kit inventory. BTW have you been called upon to provide emergency dental care to fellow cruisers during your voyages ?
No dental care, but a lot of advice
hope you continue to feel better M8 ......much love to you both
Ah thanks mate
