You guys crushed that route, y’all are amazing! Absolute legends, and as for the less-edited footage, it was amazing. My favorite vids are raw sailing content. Talk to the camera and each other, talk about the sail plan and what the wind/sea/current are doing, show your position by pointing the camera at the chart plotter. Keep the music low, and sail on! As a naturist sailor, I appreciate that you show that part of sailing. If we were to look at most UA-cam sailors, the viewer would believe they need a washer and dryer on a sailboat, as the people in the videos change clothes three times a day, and put on a swimsuit to bathe 😂.
You have such an unassuming natural style. It is quite refreshing... Congrats on being engaged...And buying a house... You will always have a home to go to now...
Awesome update Kayleen!! Also huge congrats on the house is AMAZING!!! So appreciate all the time and effort you have put into sharing you and Ty’s lives with us - what a ride eh?? Cheering you guys on for R2AK!! 🤩
So proud of all that you've accomplished over the past few years, and good for you for prioritizing your mental health. Good luck with the R2AK prep. I know a few people who've done it and they say it was an amazing experience and they'll never do it again 😆
Thank you for the Q&A. Thank you for sharing this passage experience! it is also great to see you posting more frequently. Looking forward to future videos on the race. Gave me a kick to go down to the boat and get er all ready! Cheers
Congratulations on your engagement! 🎉...... Thanks for your answers Kayleen, they added to the story of your journey home. Good for you following your gut feelings about life on youtube....... Although we enjoy your videos we respect your need for privacy.... Also Congratulations for 2nd place on the "A Race"! Looking forward to your story on the race to Alaska!
dreaming of having an adventure like yours since i was a child. spent pretty much all of my life landlocked on the prairies. so happy to find your channel and live vicariously through you. amazing footage and incredible insight into what a long blue water cruise would look like!
Thanks for sharing your update Kayleen, i've been wondering about you guys and how things are going. Watching you from Ladysmith BC, Welcome home !! and congrats on the house!
Great video!! I did the clipper route in 2018 from La Paz Baja to the mouth of the Coumbia River, 41 days about 3000 nm, averaged 3 knots, singlehanded, all close hauled. Not likely to repeat it’s tough going.
I guess it would depend on the boat. I don't know if dyneema is the solution, there can still be issues with any product, , the appeal of the dyneema to me is the ability to change it out if needed. But I'm not sure if I'm really sold one way or another, even after this. I've heard of boats with dyneema rigging losing their rig too. If I rerig another boat, I'd definitely consider all options instead of just going with what the rigger suggests.
Yes I like the ability to repair rigging at sea the wgt and able to store enough to do the wholevstanding rigging . But I'm up here in the North East Atlantic in the states so colder Temps can change the rigging . Newfoundland and the whole cruising grounds is amazing, near to what you may have .
I’m a northeastern US inland sailor, when we change out the rigging on our trailer sailor, we plan on switching to dyneema to make it more adjustable and easier to repair ourselves. There’s literally no strain to speak of on a 17 ft boat 😂, but I don’t know if I’d do it on a 40 ft boat. Our pocket cruiser is only 22 feet, and I would have no qualms about trying it out on a lake or a river.

Thanks for the update. It took us a month to watch all of your Mexico vids but well worth it.

You are an inspiration; great video. Looking forward to seeing the race!
That was a great editing style.
Wow Sailor great episode ❤
Wow, you did the whole thing in one take. I could never do that, I speak with rented lips.
Thanks for sharing your update Kayleen, i've been wondering about you guys and how things are going. Watching you from Ladysmith BC, Welcome home !! and congrats on the house!
Thank you!
Wish I could crew on the Alaska race, what an amazing race it is. Give ‘em hell, take no prisoners.
It’s going to be a wild one! Can’t wait!

Wow, yes it’s a tough one and really makes you appreciate the downwind sailing!!
I still can’t believe you didn’t hit any rough weather till Vancouver Island!! 😂
We had a pretty rough couple days about half way, I didn’t film too much but the boat handled it well
You are a badass!
My Santana 27 was a rocket.
Do you think you might look at dyneema standing rigging in the future ? I ask only because I'm thinking of it myself

Marine weather forecast are just like aviation weather forecast … the only weather that matters is what is on your nose.
