Hey, thanks for taking the time to make some great video when you could have your feet up. Thanks for taking all your meta friends with you on your trip.
being Argentinean your transit of Tierra del Fuego and the Beagle canal is I believe the first time I am seeing that area. Argentina and Chile almost went to war over that channel the Pope John Paul II intervened since both countries were highly Catholic and recognized him as a truly impartial mediator. Like others have said its so cool to see somebody going off the beaten path good luck guys hoping your boat continues to behave !
Curtis did a great job in identifying and going for the weather window. That's where the knowledge and use of weather and planning software pays off. The loss of your camera gear is a disappointment, but you have the rewards, the memory, the experience. It's really appreciated that you share so much of this great journey, with great sailing skill in challenging conditions, and lovely personalities. Seeing Roxy take in the new surroundings, such a treat for her and at a decent age.
Its a strange thing to watch , your faces over the last trip, on watch 24/7 , listening looking , your brain on over drive , then you reach calm waters , see land, Use the vhf. Plan your approach, tie up , and a instant calm , and breath . I did all long trips new places for nearly 20 years and had all of that , 😂😂
It's really cool to see the visuals of the end of the world. I listened to Cape Horn to Starboard not so long ago, and to see video of that place is very cool.
After all of that Roxy & I just wanted to see if you all could walk on dry land. That 10th step with out a step or a turn is a weird feeling. The sailboat I helped to refit, looked like the grey ship on you end shot, yes we had to take the bridge deck house off as one of the mast sat there.
Another great episode. So sad you lost your drone and gopro at the same time , that must really have hurt loosing the footage and the equipment. As if sailing isn't expensive enough without IT wanting to get in on the act and commit to jumping overboard !! What a great weather window you chose, well done achieving so much.
@@rickkwitkoski1976 I don't mean any offense to anybody but I really have a tough time understanding people with accents/dialects (including Southerners and Blacks) or people to whom English is a foreign language (and it is apparent that it is not their primary language)..
Cool! So close now! This is a lovely place. A friend spent the pandemic there, not being allowed to leave and seh fell in love with the place and the locals. Fair winds, see you next week!
Y’all rock! Great job. Glad to see that Sweet Ruca brought y’all safely to the strait and to Porto Williams. Thanks for allowing us to join the ride and to watch the dolphins and whales.
Your adventure is awesome and thank you so much for sharing! The selfie-hug was a cute touch and we ALL love Roxy, the dolphin-dog. Congratulations on your success!
I love Roxy. You are such dynamic sailors. Please be kind to yourselves. You deserve much success. I grew up in MN,. And their is only one thing better than a warm jacket: skin to skin under a feather bed. ❤
Well done you guys. You can see the excitement and sense of accomplishment in your smiles. Great video and what a great adventure, thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see what's more to come.
Well, I was really excited when watching this episode - I can't begin to imagine the level of emotions you must have felt as you came into the channel and then your first port in Chile. I live in Aotearoa, and there is some level of empathy here with the part of the world you are now in, as it is such a major part of the stories of our pioneers here. They didn't come past the Cape on the way out here, but they certainly did if they chose to re-visit their homeland in the old square riggers. And of course it is such a part of the stories of people like Joshua Slocum, David Lewis (a Kiwi of course), and round the world sailors (like Moitessier) and the later Whitbread sailors like Peter Blake. And Chay Blythe and the other yachtie whose name I can't recall, who came around the wrong way like you! Congratulations to the three of you!
@@swamprobin3291 Sorry, no. The bloke with Sergeant Chay Blyth was Captain John Ridgway. They rowed the Atlantic together, and later Chay was the first person to sail non-stop westwards round the world in 1971.
Thanks for sharing that bit of history! Curtis knows about Joshua Slocum and refers to him often whenever we turn on the motor 🤦♀️ thanks for following along. 🥰🙂
Aloha from beautiful tropical Kauai island ,Hawaii. Outstanding footage of The Argentina coast sailing so impressive . I m so glad and exciting seeing incredible voyage.Fear winds. This is so awesome video . Many thanks and good luck .
OMG 😱 WOW‼️ Another fabulous episode guys ‼️ 👍 Gotta say m your inboard pushes you right along quite quickly. Almost there. Enjoy some rest. ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝 👙 🌞 ✨
It's amazing to see how well Sweet Ruca makes progress (>7 knots), with the engine, in these waves. She must have a very well-thought-out hull design. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Cheers.
Way to GO you two I think you deserve a waterproof drone for the recording of Epic passages like this Around THE HORN, by golly you look really Salty!!!
This is such an awesome video. I didn't want it to end. It looks like Roxy enjoying talking to the dolphins. Curtis did a great job picking that weather window. Great choice of music once again. I can't wait to see the rounding of Cape Horn
Always nice to be sailing “just off shore” after being out where you were for two weeks..✅ Always good music 🎶 too, don’t know who they are but am sure you would have like Simon & Garfunkel back in our day..!!! 😎👍👌
Some very nice sailing scenes. Looking forward to seeing some of Chile. I ‘d love to see a performance profile of your D400 wind generator if you have taken any notes.
You both are doing a great job, very inspirational to so many people. Glad to see you are doing well and will be able to round the cape horn. Can't wait to see you again.
Fantastic video. What an epic voyage you all are on. The sights and sounds from down there are amazing. It was nice to see the well-deserved smiles on your faces getting to port after the tough conditions at sea. And Roxy being excited is always funny. Keep having fun and stay safe. Bill
The end of the world turns out to be a pretty magical place, and the sunshine certainly doesn’t hurt! Nice editing touches and some lovely music choices too. We walked around the harbor at Lossiemouth today, mainly smaller day sailers and fishing boats 😎
It's very respectful of you to say Malvinas or Falklands, I love that detail!!!! As always, amazing filming and editing job guys, you are truly showing how beautiful the end of the word is 😂
Beginning to really like this sailboat, and love those long video clips of it sailing through the water. Any chance you could do long sections and keep the natural sounds of the sailboat and the water, without music being added?
I try to add that when I can. I am still lacking the necesary wind microphones, but I appreciate your feedback and will try to incorpate natural sounds where I can! Thanks 😊
@@SailingSweetRuca ...very cool. It will be interesting to see who is the first person to record an entire circumnavigation, from start to finish, and post it online. My understanding is that it has never been done. But the technology now exists. Maybe 20TB worth of storage and a few cameras hard mounted and always on (with sound).

Thanks for the brief history lesson! So much to learn about this amazing place!
Were their native people here proceeding or up & beyond the time of the Pope?
Amazing trip from Uruguay down. Best bit is ; you are so cool!! Both!!
Wonderful 👍🦘
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the music!

Good stuff guys. Oh, and we love your doggie.

Thanks for taking me so far south :)
Thanks for coming along!
Great episode 🙏👍
Many thanks!
Its a strange thing to watch , your faces over the last trip, on watch 24/7 , listening looking , your brain on over drive , then you reach calm waters , see land,
Use the vhf. Plan your approach, tie up , and a instant calm , and breath . I did all long trips new places for nearly 20 years and had all of that , 😂😂
You described that so beautifully and accurately. Thank you 🥰
In all my 20 years in the navy I never got around cape horn. Congrats
Its really a Amazing trip…. I want to🙏, Thanks for sharing 🎁👍
Thank you too
How have you not got more subscribers. We need to get those numbers up
Thanks Greggybread! Feel free to spread the word and share the videos :-)
We agree! Trying our best to improve and stay true to who we are. Be sure to share on social media! 👍🙏🙂 Thanks for the kind words!
I think you guys have the best content on youtube. I learn something new every time I watch an episode.
Cheers for a safe travel across the Pacific.
Wow! That is the goal! Big compliment. Thank you 🥰
Sailing Sweet Ruca You have a very beautiful strong boat and your voyage is legendary Thank you for sharing.
Love it! Thank you!!!
You guys are my heroes, as well as those of my grandchildren. There’s nothing so wonderful as being on a family adventure from afar. Thanks so much.
So cool hearing from Grandma. I hope more family members comment. Cheers.
Wow, idk about heroes but thanks for the kind words! Warms our hearts and reminds us of whats important 🥰
It looks pretty cold? Enjoying following your trip. Fair winds to you both.
It is cold! Thanks for the comment! 🥰🥶
Thanks for taking us on the journey!
Please give a hug to Roxy for me!
She loves a good hug! Thanks!
It's really cool to see the visuals of the end of the world. I listened to Cape Horn to Starboard not so long ago, and to see video of that place is very cool.
Glad we could share! Glad you are also enjoying a "land episode". 🥰
Well done. Congratulations.😊
Thank you! 😃
Once in a life time adventure ! Thank you !
You got that right!
You guys are just wonderful. The sense of adventure and location is so well portrayed. I love this series.
Wow! That means a lot! Thank you!
After all of that Roxy & I just wanted to see if you all could walk on dry land. That 10th step with out a step or a turn is a weird feeling. The sailboat I helped to refit, looked like the grey ship on you end shot, yes we had to take the bridge deck house off as one of the mast sat there.
Had to leave something for next week! Glad you enjoyed. More info to come about that!
😃👍👍👍❤

So true! 🤑 Thanks for the kind words and for following along ❤
Thank you for your beautiful shots. If you anchor in the area again, I have read that it's best to scatter carpet tacks on deck before turning in.
Amazing episode, challenging conditions, stay warm wishing you the best.
Thank you! 🥰
You're an amazing couple. Thanks for letting this old guy sail vicariously with you. Fair winds.
Our pleasure! Thanks for coming along 🙂
CONGRATULATIONS!! 🎉
Thanks!
Communicating on the radio (especially with foreigners) would be the bane of sailing.
Sí. Tratar de hablar con americanos sería especialmente tedioso.

@@cestmoi1262 They probably have trouble in understanding what you are saying given the various dialects within the English language. Goes both ways.
Cool! So close now! This is a lovely place. A friend spent the pandemic there, not being allowed to leave and seh fell in love with the place and the locals. Fair winds, see you next week!
Wonder if we know the person?! Thanks for the comment!
Congratulations job well done.
Thank you! Cheers!
Y’all rock! Great job. Glad to see that Sweet Ruca brought y’all safely to the strait and to Porto Williams. Thanks for allowing us to join the ride and to watch the dolphins and whales.

Thanks for these comments! It's reassuring in the choices I make editing! 🥰
@@SailingSweetRuca You're a very good video editor and I enjoy viewing your episodes. Racers at heart we are... but we enjoy cruising as well.
Thanks Scott! We've enjoyed a few of yours, too!
I love Roxy. You are such dynamic sailors. Please be kind to yourselves. You deserve much success. I grew up in MN,. And their is only one thing better than a warm jacket: skin to skin under a feather bed. ❤
Hehe! Roxy makes a great cuddler! Thanks for the kind words and good reminder 🙂
Smooth radio coms whiskey-delta-kilo...I am glad I subscribed⛵⛵⛵
We are too! 🥰
Words are pale to describe this adventure.
Couldn't agree more 🥰
what an epic journey
Agreed!🤙⛵️
Well done you guys. You can see the excitement and sense of accomplishment in your smiles. Great video and what a great adventure, thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see what's more to come.

Thanks for the nice comment! We enjoy Sweet Ruca 🙂
Well done guys . geez give Roxie a huge hug she has done well too. Loved her barking at the dolphins.
Roxy is a trooper! She loves her ocean friends!
Amazing journey, safe travels. You two are truly living the dream.
Thanks so much!
Way to GO you two I think you deserve a waterproof drone for the recording of Epic passages like this Around THE HORN, by golly you look really Salty!!!
We tried to get one, but they wouldnt ship down here! Maybe next time. Thanks for the nice comment!
So glad you all made it safe. Been a long sail.
Thanks Kurt! Us too 😀
Great video!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
This is such an awesome video. I didn't want it to end. It looks like Roxy enjoying talking to the dolphins. Curtis did a great job picking that weather window. Great choice of music once again. I can't wait to see the rounding of Cape Horn
Curtis is the master navigator!
When did you first arrive(for the first time) in Puerto Williams?
Congratulations,. You 2 are 1 great Team. Once again the films were fantastic. Living the dream.
Thanks Clarence! We always say we make a great team 👍
Thank you for this excellent video. what a story!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Always nice to be sailing “just off shore” after being out where you were for two weeks..✅
Always good music 🎶 too, don’t know who they are but am sure you would have like Simon & Garfunkel back in our day..!!! 😎👍👌
We definitely love Simon & Garfunkel! Glad you are enjoying 👍🥰
OSM as usual Guys... Be Safe... :)
Thank you so much 😀
Some very nice sailing scenes. Looking forward to seeing some of Chile. I ‘d love to see a performance profile of your D400 wind generator if you have taken any notes.
I know they did a good write up on the pros and cons of their wind generator a while back. It's on their website somewhere.
You both are doing a great job, very inspirational to so many people. Glad to see you are doing well and will be able to round the cape horn. Can't wait to see you again.
Wow thanks for the kind words! We are so very lucky to share with you all! Best fans out there😀
Absolutely great work guys! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much for commenting!
Fantastic video. What an epic voyage you all are on. The sights and sounds from down there are amazing. It was nice to see the well-deserved smiles on your faces getting to port after the tough conditions at sea. And Roxy being excited is always funny. Keep having fun and stay safe. Bill
Thank you! Roxy is indeed entertaining! 😂
Curtis: If you sail aroung Cape Horn you have to put you an ear ring.🤣 Which will be the next goal after Cape Horn?
Intrepid sailors! This is exactly why I subbed you. Thank you for taking us along in this adventure.
Thanks Rick! Always enjoy seeing your comments!
I like that last song. What’s it called?
I will try to update the songs in the description when I get a chance! It's called "The End" I remember! Great song!
The end of the world turns out to be a pretty magical place, and the sunshine certainly doesn’t hurt! Nice editing touches and some lovely music choices too.
We walked around the harbor at Lossiemouth today, mainly smaller day sailers and fishing boats 😎
Thanks for the kind comments Kevin! Nothing wrong with a few day sailors and fishermen 🙂
It looks like they have a three boat one design class at the Port Williams marina. Are those J30s?
Hi there question in your opinion, how would a 50 foot catamaran do sailing through the roaring 40s and 50s? Would it be safe?
Great question Marious. We will answer this in a few episodes with first hand experience ;-) Stay tuned.
It's very respectful of you to say Malvinas or Falklands, I love that detail!!!! As always, amazing filming and editing job guys, you are truly showing how beautiful the end of the word is 😂
Thanks Jorge!
I've always heard that sailing around cape horn was miserable and your making it look like a piece of cake .😇
And they're doing it backward!
Definition of miserable is different for all! 🤣😅
Right on! 😆

Bárbaro!
