0:24 The implication of the first 24 seconds of the video is you'll need these skills to own a Jeanneau boat

[@johnlord7854]

What an amazing trip ! :)

[@paulfenn940]

A good one for sure! Life's too short to sit at the dock!

[@johnlord7854]

Absolutely !
We leave NZ 4 weeks tomorrow, to cruise the Greek Islands on my SO45, which is in Turkey at the moment - cant wait to escape our winter !!!

[@LifeFourPointZero]

Wow ... we have ALWAYS wanted to sail the inside passage and you presented your experience so beautifully! Thank you for this video and for sharing your lifestyle. What time of year do you typically go? Do you wait until part way through the summer so there is enough melt or is timing based on other factors?

[@JeanneauAmerica]

Glad you like the story! Each year, Jim Rard of Sail Alaska departs Anacortes, WA in June and leads a group of about 10 boats up the inside passage of Alaska and back. It's always an epic trip ans you can see!

[@renegadesailors8480]

Wow wow wow!! Gosh we just headed off sailing around Australia with barely any experience under our belt! We just released our first video yesterday! Sailing near ice is definitely scary to us! What a journey! 🗺

[@paulfenn940]

So exciting! Any chance you're sailing on a Jeanneau?

[@daleandersen9579]

When's the next trip and how do I get on the list??

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

Me too! I want to go!

[@paulswan1965]

All these sailing vids the same. A bunch of annoying music from start to finish. Adios
