Alie,take off all your rings when you do maintenance, you don't want to RIP a finger off if you grab on to something if you slipped and caught the rings. Think safety all the time.
That's good thinking
Hell yes as a retired engineer here in New Zealand I've seen some very nasty results from welders having arcing across a ring and basically burned to the bone instantly to having their ring caught in a machine and actually left the guys finger hanging by a bit of skin, all jewelry was band in my workshop
Alie, you’re a MONSTER!!!
- great filming to boot🎉
Watch your main halyard for chafe at various reefing heights (can hit sheave support at top of mast) plus sheet halyards where they ride over pole.
You can buy chafing sleeves sized for various size lines worth their weight in gold on long offshore passages.
Bit of advice on halliards chaving. These simple things getting a halliard from inside the mast to outside will kill any halliard. You bend it a couple of degrees, depending on the lenght of the metal thingy. Chave will occur. Even with dyneema lines. A halliard can come from inside the mast and out to have a straight angle to the winch. That takes two rollers, top one to take the halliard under while the lower takes the halliard on the top of it. To bridge the angle and have less chave. Nevertheless, one should always check for chave. And, what Ialways did.....Buy 5 meters extra length for your halliards. Use swivels on the head and tack of the sail and use a bowline to attached halliard to the head of the sail. Most importantly: When you drop the sail, check for chave at the top end of the halliard. You can also check chave on the bit in/out mast. Thin line on end of hallaird, hoist, and the part that might have chaved comes out.
As soon as you see chave.......shorten the bowline on the head......and you are good to go. And then......repeat. Hope this makes sense.
Thanks Gert!
you guys are so positive and up beat. Strong mental attitude. You guys got this youll do just fine. IM looking forward to following your adventures
A heart felt AHHHHH! I got me some Breaking Waves. Alie up the mast, swinging around, camera in one hand and tying a knot with the other. Another example of having balls without testicles. Hope your illness passes quickly Ben. Have fun and stay safe. ❤🙏
She's got huevos!
just found your channel 1 minute ago. You kids are sailing across the Pacific with not alot of exsperience? good luck guys God Speed
Crazy Canucks! Awesome drone shots! Not fun landing on a swaying boat. Go Oilers!
Go Oil!
Yes you are cool Alie!! And I enjoyed Ben demonstrating that he clearly played team sports with his clapping and encouraging comments early on 😊
Ha yes definitely true
I had two halyards chafe badly and I discovered it was the wind rattling them against a point on the mast that was sharp. Took my mast down and filed and sandpapered every place that was right angled.
Im so happy for you two. Ive been following Calico for years and its so much fun seeing you guys buddy boating now.
Thanks and yes great buddy boat!
Excited to watch your passage!
Lots of Total Boat swag in this one :)

Well done both, just look how far you’ve come from those early yt videos in BC. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you grow the channel and grow as sailers. Your “five year plan” has come true to sail an ocean, what an achievement!
Thanks Lyndon, you've been with us for a long time!!
The cruisers are a special community. Wait until you get to Fatu Hiva. A different level.
Can't wait!
13:20 That is indeed pretty! Fair winds!
Y’all are going to Rock It. Your 1st sail and nothing matters anymore. Keep your head up and stay safe and strong for this great journey. YOUR FINAL GOING WEST YOUNG LADY. Live the Dream. Fair Winds to you both. ❤❤❤

Your camera looking down on the boat got me in my tweener… lol

SV Kiwi Lady Opua Bay of islands New Zealand 👍🏿
Thanks so much!
Hmm. Calico was sick at the start of their passage too. Sounds like someone sick was drinking out of everyone else's glass the night before departure.
Ha that's a good observation
Wow Alie ! You're a sailing freak ! Good dang job. You also Ben. A great team. Thank you for the video work, the editing and mostly, for sharing your adventures with us. Can't wait to see the future adventures ! Take care and fair winds to ya !
Thankkks!
CONGRATS on your pulling the pin and getting on your way and on climbing the mast. What a hoot! Have fun guys. Catch some good waves for me when you arrive.
Will do :)
Fair winds and following seas. Great adventure guys. Cheers!
Thanks pal!
Mafia Dolphin's the best great vlog guys!!!!
Thank you!
Safe passage! ❤
Incredible video up the mast at sea is not easy, I knowI I had to do it once and my adrelin level was through the roof afterwards, well done taking that video while up there!
Very impressive going up the mast while underway well done
Thanks 👍
Thanks for all the great sunset shots
Always generous. Thank you Derek!
My weaknesses are sunsets from your boat and the sound of rain bouncing of your boat . How I miss the sound of rain from your Vancouver videos.
Outstanding drone video!!!
That's what I am talking about my man Barry!!
Fair sailing you two!
❤ from 🇨🇦BC
Alie, climbing that mast at sea is NOT something everyone can do.
Awesome video
❤ from 🇨🇦BC you two
I ❤ u 2. Hello from Hudson's Hope B.C.
You guys are amazing!!!!
Holy hell there is no way I have the balls to climb up there while tied to the dock never mind while under way in the middle of the pacific !! 😳
You are way more badasser than me 💪
Fortunately they didn't steal your outboard 😊
That's true! Would be a lot harder to pul off as ours is pretty big and heavy, but lots of outboards have been stolen in the La Cruz area unfortunately
thanks for the great episode
Great video yall❤ looking forward to the next😊
Coming soon!
Thank you.
Wonderful to watch such a special experience for you ! 😊👍
It really is!
Fantastic adventure to watch. Thanks for shaing.
Glad you enjoyed it
A pair of legends !! Super cool.
Thanks pal!
This is a great edit!
Thanks!
Love watching your progress my favorite Canuck cruisers! Even with your accents when did a halyard become a hailyard?
thank ya! And yes you're right we do say it weird...hadn't thought about that!
Im Canadian also. Moved to San Diego 25 years ago and was constantly kidded about saying 'aboot'.
Oilers Panthers ,,,I know you’re watching
Truth
Nice 😊
At the end of the horizon is a pot of Kimchi.
Yes, air temp especially in the northwest
Oy how and where is Bruce?! Loved your pupper aboard. Did I miss a video?
Ha you may have missed a few. We left Bruce in Canada with Ben's parents for the year when we returned to Mexico. He's getting older and not capable of the type of sailing we are doing this year. We miss him dearly but he's well taken care of :)
@@BreakingWavesSailing Good to read he's okay and enjoying his grey days. Thank you for the new upload.
Still not caught up but wanted to comment..would like if you mentioned the temperature on your videos. Also, what delicious looking foods you are eating.
As in the air temp?
Not only is Ally Absolutely Gorgeous she is bad ass climbing that mast. Woo-hoo 😊
Thank you!
You forgot to mention the funniest 1st mate on the Seven Seas
You do have a dinghy oars work. You didn’t have a tank.
21:22 Opinel love em ?
You bet
YeeèHaàaaa🎉. Safe voyage ❤
Giddy up!
😁😁😁❤️
Sorry I am 1min late LOL!!
Ha first comment though!
My favorite moment is still alie hanging of the peer from her pants. 😂 Also she is alien if you add a n…
Almost 3 M views on that clip now haha
@@BreakingWavesSailing yeah Im just happy it wasnt Ben.. would have got 12M views. 😄 Be safe!
@@nlcke3265lol, Ben would be speaking several octaves higher from that kind of wedgie
😀😀👍👍❤❤
I alarm my ebike, why don't people alarm dinghies. Think it work better then my 200$ lock, its very loud , ROCKBROS 115dB Bike Alarm Wireless Motorcycle Alarm with Remote Vibration Motion Sensor Waterproof
That's a good idea!
Is this guy a real Engineer or like a domestic Engineer???
Hey now Mike
Do you have a twin sister? You look very similar to a girl on Monday Never
We've heard this many times! No Alie and Kat aren't related, but they do look like they could be sisters!
@@BreakingWavesSailingit’s mostly in the mouth and they way they smile and laugh.
Love it, great channel
@@BreakingWavesSailingshe is a perfect lady
You guys need to get your videos😂 closer to real time because everyone knows you completed the voyage over a month ago, so your departure vids are really getting old. From Nuevo Vallarta.
We'd love to.. but sometimes the story writes it's self and sometimes that means we are too busy living that story and editing/posting takes a lower priority.. you'll see what we mean soon ;)
