I feel as though I’m there with you, great job capturing the sights, sounds, emotions and I wish the smells and taste…supper looks great. I can also see Drake’s mind racing with the responsibilities for a safe journey and Mo’s thoughtful calming presence for balance…great teamwork guys. Thanks for another excellent episode.
A few years back on the 46m navy museum vessel, when I had to keep watch in the engine room, I always had something to act as a pendulum / artificial horizon to give my brain some feedback of the ships movement. That really helped a lot with sea sickness down below.
I enjoyed the video Drake. Personally, I really like the head-mounted action cam shots showing how you do things and move about the boat. It's so interesting seeing all of the differences between our Westsails. Those rope bags on the aft deck look super handy. Thanks for the video guys! -Ben
LOVED the long format!!! Again so cool to see all the ins and outs of what a real sail looks like! Fantastic! Hope you both are happy and safe in Scotland!
That recipe looked delicious. I'm going to try it. Great to see ya'll back in the saddle. Monique not sea sick thank goodness. You two please stay safe and see ya in the next one. '
I just noticed the white catches you have on all your drawers and lockers , I got a really bad bruise on my back last week when I sat down and cupboard door feel open at same time, Iove the little hacks you have come up with
I get such excitement seeing you two cast off in Paragon for a new trip! So happy to watch this video. Hoping someday to retire on Vancouver Island and putter around in any vessel I can make seaworthy. Your videos have taught me so much over the decade+ I have been watching you guys!!

I am assuming that the reason you are running such an outdated operating system is because of the expense of updating to something newer. What all would you have to replace ? Everything? How outdated are the other things in your overall system? Are the charts that outdated too? I have been watching since before your Carolina days. There have been a lot of changes over the many years but still enjoy watching the two of you. You are an amazing couple.
Nowadays we use our iPhones and iPads with the latest charts and apps for most of our navigation and voyage planning. But we definitely rely on our Furuno in the cockpit for the radar and for seeing AIS targets.
The videos must be really old…..these two must be in their 70’s now living on land and their son Ion must be in his 50’s…lol….just kidding guys….be safe…
Hi Mark, thank you for the feedback. You’re also not the first person to tell us that the head mounted GoPro footage can be a bit jarring, and I’ve been thinking a lot about way to improve on that. I think that from now on wherever it’s appropriate and whenever that’s possible I’ll film with the camera on a stationary mount to reduce the jarring footage. Many thanks again for the feedback.
AM and PM, i know what that means, but u have been so long in Europe - i think u must be talking seven in the evening, or 1 past midnight. Could be a spot where Europeans just skip your video when talking AM/PM. Nice video said the Norwegian Jan....
Hi, I just scanned through the video, but I’m not sure which part you’re referring to. Could you please tell me what minute in the video has the shouting? 🙏

Great to see your videos again, I loved this episode, it captured real sailing along with the little snags that need sorting

Time lapse actually worked pretty ok for the tack correction sequence. All around great video! Thank you!

Fantastic episode, well done! This is why I love you two, you keep everything so real, the good and bad. Love the cliff hanger ending...FABULOUS!

What recipe app was that you use offline?
Hadn't checked in for awhile and was surprised the Hydrovane isn't installed yet. Did that project get pushed onto the back burner?
You guys need a wireless intercom!
Cheers

Do you have a spinnaker on paragon and if so when would you use it?

Why are you ignoring the red, white and, blue windex on your stern? I find that mine works in a pinch.
Wov, no I understand what live onboard mean. Thanks a lot.
Im with Mo, "too many snack". Not in my vocabulary either.

You have electronic communication but there is an awful lot of shouting going on, beginning to feel sorry for Mo on the helm
