Mads it surprised me when you mentioned it had been 3 years since you sailed away from Denmark. Seems like just a year, at most. Been tagging along since you parked Athena there my home and moved onto your other boat while you worked on Athena. Times flies doesn't it?
I was going to dismiss Mads as a culinary monster based on the pasta with ketchup horrorshow. Instead, based on Mads' commentary, I now need to write off the entire country of Denmark. An entire country of heathens. Danes: you are dead to me 😅.
I am a Bahamas person too. I have a passage from Mystic and around Long Island to spend a few days anchored off NY. in September, but really looking forward to a boat I chartered in the Bahamas for 7 nights in Nov. I absolutely love the Bahamas water! This time I got a captain and cook. on a 62 foot lagoon. Yep less work for me and my friends. My fav place to island hop.
We once sucked in a few yards of durascrim type plastic sheeting into our prop aperture which did a number on our ability to produce much thrust until it was dug out by a diver. The worst part is that we were still in the "rockpile" part of the ICW near Barefoot Landing/Myrtle Beach South Carolina. We were pretty much dead in the water drifting down towards the Barefoot Landing swing bridge in about 2 knots current. The diver was impressed that we were able to successfully negotiate the last of the rockpile section, make it through the emergency-opened bridge and finally dock at a face dock beyond it at Barefoot landing marina with zero wind for sails and not damaging anything else on our our anyone else's boat in the process. I was propelling the hull through the water mostly by willpower and my driving personality. The plastic mess filled a dock cart when he finally unwound and pulled it all out.
Love this new format!!! It feels so real and relatable. I love seeing the interactions of a couple during “real” discussions for where and how to go about the sailing experience. Awesome work y’all!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I love you guys. I am from Virginia and living in Michigan right now. My good friend Sarah is a lot like Ava. And our friendship is similar to your guys's marriage. You guys are awesome. Have been watching since long before the boat splashed.
Very exciting to see you (on AIS) off the coast of FL and heading north! If your insurance says north of Hatteras that implies you might be headed for Chesapeake Bay! (My home port in Annapolis). I’ll be monitoring closely for your whereabouts! Safe travels!
Cool video hello from Fort Lauderdale Florida I just subscribed to your channel I hope you sail in calm waters with the wind at your back to safe harbors..Cheers
Our french family has eaten ketchup and black pepper on pasta for generations! Yum! We thought it was a Canadian thing, we jokingly call it “french sauce”!
Hi guys - it seems like you were motoring when there was about 6-8knots of wind - or maybe more. I love sailing in this wind but I do have a nice Code 0. Maybe Athena could do with a nice composite bowsprit (a retractable one would be nice) so that you can get her moving in less wind with the sails. Thanks Phil
Sometimes I'm just in awe of the beauty of your DIY labors around the boat. Your galley table/fridge top, is quite the work of art, yet you have really used it as a workbench for most of your DIY and it was starting to show the distress. Now I see that it looks brand new again! Was that a project you haven't yet put in a video? Will you at least tell us the length of the boat you MIGHT get to renovate?
Spanish Wells in N.Eleuthera, Staniel Cay in Exuma are cool and laid back places to visit. Additionally, Green Turtle Cay in the Abacos is very nice. Lunch at the Green Turtle club is one of my favorites.
My guess is you are in the Chesapeake by now, but if not and are passing through NC on the ICW in particular Oriental NC this weekend would love to meet you. Been following since Oblix(sp).
Was sailing Bermuda to Long Island with my brother and had a thunder squall. Suddenly there was a buzzing sound. My brother opined that it was St Elmo's fire. I looked around and located a flying fish in the scuppers.
Huh maybe some sort of pass thru camera view/port for monitoring the prop shaft/propeller doo-dad? Setup in some sort of transparent blister? Or a camera on a pole? :) Glad it wasn't anything bad. Like a bunch of rowdy juvenile orca's causing mayhem.
You guys are getting caught back up with real time again almost. It'll be like old times again when Sunday footage would end up on that same day's uploads. Being North of Hatteras is stricter than even our insurance. We only need to be as far as Thunderbolt Georgia. Right now we are just barely North of Hattaras doing the "Albemarle Loop" in North Carolina but will be looping back down past Okracoke and Hattaras before returning to Oriental and then probably up to New Bern further up the Neuse. It is lovely in the Carolinas right now and not nearly as humid as it can get in the Chesapeake. There is a ton of good cruising here and it would be a shame to have to rush through it. There are a ton of hurricane holes as well if an early storm pops up.
Lucky call on the rope! You mentioned calculating the length of the anchor bridle in your previous videos. What length of 8 strand did you end up needing? Is it 16 or 18mm?
Mads you are not alone with ketchup on pasta. Used to be my favorite as a kids. So it’s at least semi popular in northern Germany as well. Sail on kids.
Ok, I am a HUGE fan, but you did not show video of El Morro Fort while leaving SJ Harbor???? Bummer, my favorite place in San Juan. I grew up 6 miles from there!!!! Also you will likely go over one of the deepest points in the Atlantic on your way to the other islands. Hugs!
14:07 should've investigated that. While not always, it's a good idea to check unidentified items at sea (if it's not life threatening) because it could be wreckage. If you do find something, you take pictures (if you can put a piece of paper or something for scale, even better) and if you find any identifying marks (numbers, names, features) you take pics of those too and you note its GPS and heading to relay to the authorities. Lots of stuff was found over the years by people like this, there's at least three cases that i know of (mostly from documentaries) where it was yachters that found them. Jm2c.
Just curious. How do you run your air conditioning unit, which must be 110v or 230v, off the engine? Do you have an an a/c generator driven off the engine? Or do you have a huge battery bank and use an inverter? Thanks. S/V Inuk, Contest 38s
I am here in Puerto Rico and I enjoy this Island very much as you did. Thanks for the awesome video. Cheers Richard
I love Ava’s energy and enthusiasm!
From giant leaves and fern fetish to water affected by gravity, Matt's wity commentary is Gold.
Whose Matt? Ava's new husband?
@@mr.e7022 Mads must love auto correct almost as much as I do. I should have seen that. Before I pressed send.

Im in St Augustine Florida cant wait to meet you two
lol, don’t worry Mads, I’m from the US and love ketchup on Mac N cheese! Yum. Travel safe, happy trails
I, too, am a Bahamas Person... though I live in the US. I try to visit every couple of years for oh glorious SCUBA!
I hoped the ABYC certification would prevent any sailor from eating pasta with ketchup !
Ahhh! The American Boating and Yachting Condiments regulations!
I really liked Puerto Rico. The people were very friendly, great food and some amazing anchorages

An entire country of heathens. Danes: you are dead to me 😅.
Don't worry, Germany eats that as well and quite some other countries in Europe
Your narration of the sightseeing is hilarious 😂

Hi Mads, I love your descriptive terminology about things like the human soup. Cheers, another well presented video clip by you two. Ian
Love it. Thank you!

Strong.. Mads lives in his narrational magic captivating many an entertained soul. Thanks for the great work everyone!
Love your description of your fluid sleep schedule. We are a couple and do six hours on six hours off but I think fluid might make more sense. :)
I loved my trip to the Bahamas and I'm sure you will too. The residents are soooo kind!!
Our french family has eaten ketchup and black pepper on pasta for generations! Yum! We thought it was a Canadian thing, we jokingly call it “french sauce”!
Ketchup is common on pasta in Sweden as well. Good with meatballs.
Great video
Hi , yet again you crack all your passages ,witty and interesting , thanks for your video .😉👍💅
Stay safe and we'll see you next week.
Nice to see you together afain
It’s very impressive how you rebuilt your ship to such a high standard very few are so capable
Love the fern call......
Ketchup on pasta is awesome. I also have had to defend this quirkiness for decades. lol enjoy!
Great video. It’s so relaxing to watch you guys. 😎🥰
Mats it is called Heinz pasta sauce always the same and ummm good ! We do not complain what they put on theirs !
Yep ketchup in mac-n-cheese for the win. Gotta go with Mads on that one.
Lol, I remember ketchup pasta growing up. I thought I was a genius!

See you👍🏼🤗
Three years already. Wow
I'd love to see some fishing. Maybe when and if you can get anchored up out in the ocean?
My guess is you are in the Chesapeake by now, but if not and are passing through NC on the ICW in particular Oriental NC this weekend would love to meet you. Been following since Oblix(sp).

great video. ava & mads like meatballs & ketchup.great combination ! didn't know the freezer is under the kitchen island.
If you go to Nassau, look up Old Fort Bay Club. Expedition Evans stops by whenever they are close by

Ketchup only for hot dogs, hamburgers and French fries. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Very entertaining.
Ketchup is a form of tomato sauce. I grew up eating it and still enjoy it from time to time. Mads, don’t mind those naysayers
Lucky call on the rope!
You mentioned calculating the length of the anchor bridle in your previous videos. What length of 8 strand did you end up needing? Is it 16 or 18mm?
See you!
The morning fog or dew is full of salt, thats why your stainless keeps getting fouled up......fried cabbage in ketchup is good too...
I was seriously thinking about Copenhagen as next town. But Ketchup on Pasta. Dream destroyed.
Mads you are not alone with ketchup on pasta. Used to be my favorite as a kids. So it’s at least semi popular in northern Germany as well.
Sail on kids.
The Crew of Cara are great folks!
Great folks beget great folks ;)
Are pirates a concern when sailing along Haiti?

Exactly tropical forest is water falls in El Yunque National Forest.
You guys need to show us some of your recipes !!
My Italian phone has just experienced a crash while playing this video, don’t know why though
Probably the ketchup.
Have some conch chowder while you’re in the Bahamas. It’s great!
Mads off the boat is supposedly an anxiety inducing nightmare. Oh Eeyore...
No pasta is complete without the red salt, sugar and vinegar sauce.🤪
Puerto Del Ray Marina, also known as Saint Haag!😂 Well, in the Movie Captain Ron it was anyway.
Absolutely also thing in Finland, you much have ketchup in any pasta/spaghetti/macaroni stuff.
Before you say, “we’re Bahamas people” check out the prices at the grocery store.
💯
Liked.
It seems difficult to re acquire the proverbial "sea legs", usually massive barfing but never-the- less keep on sailing ⛵️

Ketchup on pasta is common Türkiye too.
Does not the foil pocket need to be earthed to protect electronics? Not my field of expertise but what I think.
12:33 that's some serious disapproval there.
Yea, I caught that too.
Time to add a linecutter to your propshaft?
Most reviews on line cutters are dismal. The experienced say that they might work once in saltwater, but you would get better life in fresh water.
Maybe a underwater Camara like cars have rear view cameras
👍
KETCHUP!
😎
I noticed better video quality on this video.
Ketchup is GOOD on almost anything. I used to make ketchup sandwiches as a kid.
How big is your engine, if I may ask?
The beard looks spiffy Ava must be onboard 😃
I have never experienced ketchup on pasta. I hope I never will…
it's fine
@@orlovsskibet I am with Mads on this one!
It’s probably better than crushed tomatoes from a can. We grew up poor and that was a hated meal.
Nasty
@@timmitchell6267 agreed. I’d rather ketchup than a poorly made tomato sauce.
As is usually the case, the sun rose in the morning...
It might be interesting to hear from you which pre prepared meals have worked out, and which have not.
ketchup on pasta..... mads... even mergull raised an eyebrow at that.
1:40 & 14:40 where is your ▼ , can you show it in a future episode? 🙂 Greetings from Germany.
Just curious, what was your route from BVI to PR? Did you go north of St Thomas?
Nailed the Outro this vid :) hahah
Hurricane season starts now and ends around January
Just curious. How do you run your air conditioning unit, which must be 110v or 230v, off the engine? Do you have an an a/c generator driven off the engine? Or do you have a huge battery bank and use an inverter? Thanks. S/V Inuk, Contest 38s
There is a 5kw 24 Volt inverter with a LiFePo4 battery system it gets power from an high output alternator.
Yes and yes.
What What! No Cheese Burgers in the provisioning list. Fish is fine but Beef Burgers are a mandatory survival item required onboard at all times.
You guys ever put chili on your pasta? Thats delicious. Fair winds!
Mads : Need something to do...writing a book about all your idea and whats works on a sailboat!
Yeh. Start with background commentary on all the boat work you two have done.
Y. A innocent question on why Mads didn't poke his head or GoPro to check the prop when he initially noticed the fuel issue.
Because there is some uncertainty in the way I measure fuel consumption and I figured it was just that and maybe a slight head current 🙂
could it have been a mine floating?
Mads has a Hispanic I can say you got Los Pinos on the dot !! By the way it means the Pines
You didn't mention that PR is in the US.
??? It's classified as an “unincorporated territory,” meaning the island is controlled by the U.S. government but is separate from the mainland.
@@vinnyvince23 People in PR are US citizens.
@@vinnyvince23 Ah no. It is a territory of the USA.
You might not be there yet but you can see the sea.
Ketchup?!
It can always be worse, like pasta with milk and sugar
Good to troll some fishing lures by that stuff in the water.
Why aren't those rods trolling.
