Dude, you have really picked up on your game. I have seen some of your ups and very hard to watch downs. This video was by far one of your best! Up lifting and inspirational. your on screen presentation absolutely top notch. Keep it up.
Congratulations on the great, successful sail. That said, it was a little nerve wracking watching you hanging off the boat without a tether or life jacket. You don’t want your boat to show up at your destination without you.
Joel, I would hate to see you reported lost at sea. A Jack line or at least an inflatable PFD Please! In the cockpit is one thing, but that flailing boom is going to toss you over sooner or later. Safety, Safety, Safety. You will get complacent at some point, aggravated by fatigue and the associated decline in reasoning and dexterity. You ever tried to get back on her from the water while underway. Lost at sea is no way to end the legacy.
I found that when pulling anchor in crowded sites or when wind and/or tide was pushing us into danger, I could just walk the anchor rode back to the cockpit and continue to raise the anchor while still being able to steer and operate the engine controls. It wasn't the best for the decking and made a dirty mess, but it got us safely underway and we could always break out the buckets and mop when in the clear... And, any word from Thomas and Linda? 🤯
I noticed the "we" thing too, but I didn't want to say anything about it. I figure if people who aren't going anywhere can call themselves leaders and say they're on a journey then there's nothing wrong with you using the editorial/royal "we." Thanks again for taking me/us along with you.
Soon we will be seeing you taking on a good crew so you can put out safe sailing adventures. You know single sails are not the best thing to be doing you need a crew. Have followed your travels and love your videos, Keep up the good inputs to UA-cam and stay safe. ⛵😋😃😃
You are crushing it! Sailing is what I’m here for. I’m not a sailor and I can’t sail a boat although I have a pretty decent concept about how it works and have tried sailing. I’m learning with you.
I’m always happy to see a video from you, I have to say I really enjoy these with you back “home” & you seem happier too! The Engine sorta has always made me feel like I was cheating, besides I’m starting to think that it’s the smell of Diesel that makes me feel seasick. So are you planning any trips or Crossings any time soon?🍀
Joel, can you 🙏🙏 Please show how you get the dingy and motor in and out of the water, I know it’s not easy and I always looking for tricks and ways to do this, there are not videos with our setup on this. Thanks Jo Mo⛵️🙏⛵️
Dude your journey has been nothing short of a roller-coaster.... Glad to see you back sailing 🙏 Also since its just you find a leash system to follow you up and down the boat, if you go overboard foe whatever reason its gonna be a disaster 😅
Thanks! I do have a leash and harness but move like a cat. I’ve learned to few out the conditions and prep accordingly from the last few captains I sailed with. Felt very comfortable in those conditions. Also get like being on the edge a bit. Sorry to give you a scare.
@@MrRourk for her size I am proud of the speed she can do. Especially with how weighted down she is. Chak Matay wasn’t designed to be a live aboard cruising boat. I would love to see Chak sail with a light load!
This video is so chill ,i could put this joint away and feel the same..... BUT I WON'T 😂😂 thank you for projecting your vibe outward those of us receiving it ate very grateful
Captain auto is great
It’s not weird, at all, to say “we.” James on Triteia says it all of the time. It’s you, Joel, and your awesome boat. We. 😎🥰❤️😎🥰❤️😎🥰❤️
Another great video, thanks Joel! I really enjoy sharing in your adventures.
Back on the proverbial horse! Go baby!

BOOOOOOMMMM!!!! that looked very fun!! And the PVC pipe is really what ties Chak's look all together!!
Man everything is going to get better and better one day at a time.Great day sail, good to see you on yo boat sailing
Another great video, thanks for sharing, I really enjoy. Learning a lot from your experience! 👏🏽💪🏽⛵
Good to see you back out in the saddle again. Any time you have a great sail is always refreshing to the soul.

You are so fun to watch! I love your positive attitude... Plus, you are looking so good! ♪
When you took off and the sails were were sooo tight, good sight to see Joel 😄 have fun man,a lil mother nature push
Good job Joel.🤗 ⛵ 🐬 🌴
Thanks 😁
One suggestion, when hauling up the main, find a clear spot, point the bow directly into the wind and go as slow as you can if things are tight.
Man I love the zaniness and contagious attitude. It's WE! we we we we we!!! I just went for a sail! thanks
“Look!! I’m not hangin onto nothin!!” Never a good idea for a solo sailor :-)
Yup! One hand for yourself and one hand for the boat.
I was thinking the same - don’t go overboard mate
Great to see you back on your boat and sailing!
Good on you Joel, l love sailing too. Just got home from a big day out myself, but here l am!
you're so much more confident under sail, and in life generally... Very nice recovery Joel... What are you learning, to be happy again, I hope...
You're hilarious. So glad to see a good sailor sailing. 😊
Always a great day when bums puts out a video.
Well done. Single handed suits you. 😎
Good to see you getting back to your old self Joel. Look forward to the coming adventures
Great video Joel! Can't wait to see what's to come!

Feels like the first time. Good song .that's what it's kinda like I've been a long timer on your voyage through life.
Yeah brother safety is crucial sailing solo. Be aware
You and your boat for sure = WE!

Great to see you out there. Keep up the good work moving forward.

yeah great . keep up the good work
ON ON !!

Looks like you got it All under control Joel.
I’m not excited, I’m waking up, watching you get excited! 😝
I don't want to be "that guy" but after you pull anchor I suggest you put on a pfd since you are solo sailing.
JOEL! You are a solo sailor. PLEASE PUT ON A PFD..
great video. stay safe, be patient.
Thanks!
The we is us on the ride with Joel keep up the good work we need to find u a first mate 😊
lol!..... @ 9:48 now I'm kkccccaroooosing at about 5 1/2 knots
Joel, can you 🙏🙏 Please show how you get the dingy and motor in and out of the water, I know it’s not easy and I always looking for tricks and ways to do this, there are not videos with our setup on this. Thanks Jo Mo⛵️🙏⛵️
Lol it isn’t pretty! I life the outboard up by hand and haul the ding up using a halyard.
When do you wear a lifejacket and where is the boat's lifeline?
I have many miles but I have zero miles solo at sea. Must be nice.
I was wondering what happen to you! Glad you are back
Are you reminded of your great sailing times on Thomas boat when your boat flies along?
Dude your journey has been nothing short of a roller-coaster.... Glad to see you back sailing 🙏
Also since its just you find a leash system to follow you up and down the boat, if you go overboard foe whatever reason its gonna be a disaster 😅
Your Genoa looks like it is in good condition.
Have you looked into a electric motor conversion? They use a hub motor. Not expensive at all.
I have not…Yet!
@@Bumsonaboat you'll trip.
Good job ya Bum. Do you have lifelines on board?
Thanks! I do have a leash and harness but move like a cat. I’ve learned to few out the conditions and prep accordingly from the last few captains I sailed with. Felt very comfortable in those conditions. Also get like being on the edge a bit. Sorry to give you a scare.
WooHoo!!!
So where are you going Joel? What is your plans?
Let's gooooo! 🎉🎉🎉
Wahooooooo!!!🎉🎉🎉
JOEL YOUR ON FIRE NOW ?
Whats funny is your boat is cleaner than mine! Which makes me an actual boat bum..
🤣
@Bumsonaboat I'm in the Bahamas. My video Dirty Boat bums got 130k views in only 4 days. I get it. I know what it means to be out here..
So.......why is the PVC such a great idea?
Because it has stood the test of time and is totally functional!
When your sailing USE SAFTY LINES
Does she sail faster now than before the repairs?
About the same but it’s all very new doing it solo. It is just nice to finally have a working auto pilot which is a must now.
@@Bumsonaboat Carters had a reputation of being fast
@@MrRourk for her size I am proud of the speed she can do. Especially with how weighted down she is. Chak Matay wasn’t designed to be a live aboard cruising boat. I would love to see Chak sail with a light load!
Get an inflatable life vest. Keep your phone in a zip lock bag so when you fall overboard you can call someone to catch up to your boat.
Hasn’t your buddies back got better yet?
You should sail alone for at least a year. Learning to be a man standing on his own.
This video is so chill ,i could put this joint away and feel the same..... BUT I WON'T 😂😂 thank you for projecting your vibe outward those of us receiving it ate very grateful
Lol enjoy 💭
Making it look easy bro you got this
