I met you guys just south of Marsh Harbor as you were fishing in a blue hole. I was on Georgia Song and in the dinghy. We were anchored off Snake Cay together. Have followed your journeys and love your dedication to sailing and cruising. Both of you tell it like it really is. Hope to cross paths again. I'm berthed in Loggerhead Marina in Vero Beach and headed back to the Bahamas this winter. Safe travels and thank you for sharing. You guys are a great team, keep up the excellent work. Bill Creadon SV Georgia Song Hunter 456 Passage
Omgosh!! We remember! That was one of our favorite anchorages. Hope you are doing well and we do hope to see you again one day!! The stories we could share 👏😎
Yes swam with the alligators. Grew up in Ormond Beach use to ski thru Tomoka Park with the gators. My experience, they were always more afraid of us than we were of them. Love ur videos. Ya'll be safe.
I did my first lock in the ICW, Grand Lock, single-handed...hanging on the bow and stern lines sitting in the mid point of my boat. It was scary, but I did it. I'm on my first big adventure up the East Coast to Maine and Nova Scotia, single-handed. I'll be 69 years old, and my sailing vessel is Blue Dancer, a Pacific Seacraft Crealock 34, cutter. Love watching your adventures. I have been following for a number of years. ❤️⛵️❤️
@@BeauAndBrandy just finished the canal trip from St. Pete to Melbourne in a 40' Prout Cat. - 1st anchorage was Bird Key and we followed your path. One Highlight was passing by you and waving in the ICW as you were heading south by Vero Beach. (Bella Ku'koa - mermaids on the bows) Thanks ⛵️
Well happy birthday to me! I was really hoping you all would drop a video. That was great, I enjoy listening to your commentary. Thank you and i can't wait for the next one nose.
👍👍 really like the behind the scenes episodes. To answer your question about swimming with alligators. My father swam in the okeechobee when a plastic bag got caught in the water intake for his engine and he had to clear it. Another reason to have an electric sailboat.⛵☺
Can’t wait for the videos of y’all doing the work to the mast!!!! I hope all goes exactly to plan but we all know how that goes most of the time 😂 plz be safe out there we love y’all’s videos!!!!!
Not many sailors know about the Florida skunk ape lol. You guys sailed right past my house in fort Myers unfortunately I didn't know about your trip until way after you passed. If you're ever this way again give me a heads up and I can make restocking your boat a lot easier.
We did Palmetto Fl to Georgetown SC via the Okeechobee over the spring of 2021. Such a great experience! The trip we made this year was Georgetown to Coco and back. I find it hard to find non washed eggs along the way, I assume it is easier in the islands.
I made that exact trip with a friend of mine in a 36' Beneteau he had just purchased. He asked me to go because i lived on a boat for 2 years and sailed the Bahamas. Before we left I told him "you know sailing is hours and hours of pure boredome with moments of pure terror" We got through the locks in Moorehaven and were on the rim canal aroundthe lake and our motor quit. I had been watching the weather and a bad front was due to come through the next day. It hit us that night with gusts up to 80 mph. It knocked us down and we dragged anchor for 1/4 mi. When it stopped my buddy said "so let me guess. That was one of those moments of pure terror." Do you all do the Okeechobee Limbo to get under the fixed bridge outside of Indiantown?
Good luck not bottoming out. Great maneuvering through your first lochs and canals. Keep it up I'll watch all your videos. ?? What's the size of your electric motor?
Enjoyed your trip. Probably not as much as you guys did. It was wonderful. Just what I needed for tonight. I live in Nokomis Fl. I used to sail Lake ontario, NY & Canada, April 1st to November 1st with my wife and 2 boys 7 & 11 years old. In Florida I took up kayaking in a Current Designs Sea Touring Kevlar Kayak in Sept 20004 til health took me out of it in @016. I love watching you both as you are so very good and nice to each other. Sail, sail. sail ! ! !
Wish I had seen this early, I would have tried to see you both,for Sarasota is where I live and would have liked to see which bridges you were at . Live by three, Venice, Nokomis andSarasota bridge ! Wishing you the best😊
Fun video... Yeah, you guys traveled in the springtime. As our southern waters don't freeze, we have merky water. The microorganisms don't die off each winter so they come out in force in springtime in our waters. It'll clear up by mid summer.. guessing you never grew up on well water or freshwater fished much. It's a southern thing... Also, we, (my brother & I) would sneakout of the house (through the window), to go swim and reclaimed golf balls at the local course at night. Never minded the gators in those ponds. They like small things that fit in their mouth. Or, old rotten meat. They have strange eating habits! They never paid us no mind... But don't step in mama's pen, that we knew would be a bad day! 😅 I've never spent the night on the river. Many times in the Glades, but never on the river passage. Looks neat. Would I ever do it again, oh you bet. But,, not during rainy season. Your trips timing was great. Out in Moore Haven, every afternoon rains were miserable😢. Then came the sunset bugs... So Beau, "bad at pronunciations" ya looked at he back of your floating house!!! 😊. Thanks for the ride. 🎉
Hi guys, what ask you a strange question do you think your relationship between the two of use is made stronger since you’ve been on the boat together?
Another Masterpiece! ... I watched this video for 15 or 20 minutes at a time over the coarse of a day and enjoyed it immensely. While I was watching the original videos I remember wondering what you guys must have been thinking at the time ... and now I know! The pronouncing of the name Saoirse was funny but in that video you never explained what Saoirse means or how you picked it. Being Irish I know what Saoirse means but I wonder how many others do? It was lovely to to see Oona again if only for a glimpse, and be reminded just how far you guys have come. Good luck with stepping your mast and looking forward to how seeing that goes. Stay Safe & Fair Winds!!
So funny you mention this! we actually discussed it, but it didn't make the cut. NEXT TIME :) Happy you like this format, its nice to hear! We can't wait to do another!
I've done the ICW a lot and the okeechobee route once, westbound. My understanding is that any sailcraft without an auxiliary cannot navigate under any bridge. If you think about it, every bridge restricts the amount of boats that can cross, increasing the chance of collision. I've gone through under sail but always have the motor started and ready, Several times I have had the wind go dead or reverse itself right under the bridge. You'll be going sideways before you know it. Your electric motor is ideal. No delay starting up, it's always ready. Last, you CAN get in trouble in a lock if you're near enough to a gate. The water flow can get severe. Loving the series.
AHHH!! good to know. I guess if you don't have power you better fit under the bridges without them rising then. I think we will always try to shoot for the back of the lock, just to be safe.
Actually Beau wasn't far off with his definition of dirty wind. In racing your wind can be affected by another boat which will force you to tack away for clean air. When that happens you will say "we're in his dirty air, we need to tack." So in sailing terms Beau was right.
I live on the treasure coast. I don’t think people realize how nasty the algae blooms can be. It’s like inhaling a noxious gas. It makes you choke. Not to mention it stinks.
when i win the lottery and buy one of those mansions on Siesta Key or Bird Key you can dock your boat at my dock and stay in one of my 12 bedrooms LOLOL
You might want to add three more tiers to your Patreon, you seem to have one of the lowest levels of the many sailing channels. Keep up the good videos.
It is unfortunate but in the last two years, the waterways around here have become extremely packed with new boaters, and they don’t know or don’t care about boating, etiquette rules and regulations
Every yachting family I follow, and I follow several, all have depth gauge and/or sounder, do that you always know your waters depth. How could anyone run aground as often as you guys, I wonder? It looks like you both must work harder then others I watch, every time you venture out. Have either of you taken sailing lessons and standard safety lessons? If so, it couldn't do any harm to take refresher courses. I get frustrated watching such lame sailing techniques and decision making.
She explained ir, lots of shoaling and shifting sands due to the hurricanes. Depth sounders indicate depth UNDER the boat, not ahead. There are no sonata available to sailboats that can detect depths ahead. And you're not really a sailor until you've touched bottom. Plus in the ICW, it's extremely frequent.
Never get any hurry when you step in to the home and the real world. But be aware. It is diffent all over the world. But this inland ways are much as same canal system kinda. But here cabal goes all over and all shipping all ways 🎉🎉🎉 But even now i am in the heart of european most travel routes/canal. But still there is places of the zittys around all over. Ok many uses matinaes. But we more long traveling People gets in to a marina maby 1 time amonth ore so max. So love to see your get more and more time at water. It is many world wide that see delos ore uma here at UA-cam. Just see their numbers and subscribers. Topp life and so many dreams about this life. Thats so enormouse
I done 300 lock 2023 alone locking european waterways whit 15 tonns yacht. Be prepeard whit the gass. But ur propeller ???? Have you bean seen in to propeller effects ??? Much happening there now this days ❤❤❤

Thanks Larry!!
Hey guys! Forgot to get over here and bump up the algorithm for you. A second watch is always a good time. Take care and best wishes for a great week.

That was great! I am sure it too some time to put it together! Thanks 😊
Thank you! and boy oh boy did it take some time! lol. ;)
With ny husband a pilot, I have heard the phrase dirty air or dirty wind. Sailing and flying are very similar. You had it just about right 👍
You can say, "You'll be risen up." like Beau said or you can say, "You'll be raised up" or like you said, you can say, You'll be lifted up.".
😀
We will employ levitation

This was relaxing and this ‘second take’ was enjoyable. I like getting both sides of what was happening personally, as well. Thank you Soooo much.
Thanks for joining us Donna!! :)
I love these!!!!
YAY! we hope to keep doing more and more!
❤❤👍 love you guys

We did Palmetto Fl to Georgetown SC via the Okeechobee over the spring of 2021. Such a great experience!
The trip we made this year was Georgetown to Coco and back. I find it hard to find non washed eggs along the way, I assume it is easier in the islands.
much easier to find in the islands! we couldn't even find refrigerated eggs even if we wanted to in guatemala!
I made that exact trip with a friend of mine in a 36' Beneteau he had just purchased. He asked me to go because i lived on a boat for 2 years and sailed the Bahamas.

16:36 so many of them, remember them are at work and dont wanna be on work.
So many dont talk at all
You guys are rocking it - I hate bridges especially Simpson bay in st Maarten
Good luck not bottoming out. Great maneuvering through your first lochs and canals. Keep it up I'll watch all your videos. ?? What's the size of your electric motor?
Thanks. the motor is 10 Kw
Heyy 😊
😘😘 hey sis!
Thank you guys, this was really interesting! Thank you for sharing!
Get a good cordless drill with a fitting on the manual windless

Jerry Reid wrote a song called Amos Moses, about swimming with alligators.
Hi guys, what ask you a strange question do you think your relationship between the two of use is made stronger since you’ve been on the boat together?
most definitely!
So now that you've been sailing a while on a Pearson 35, what are your thoughts on that boat?
Another Masterpiece! ... I watched this video for 15 or 20 minutes at a time over the coarse of a day and enjoyed it immensely.

Is your mast deck stepped?
YEP!
Which is a clear indication their boat is NOT designed for blue water cruising.
@@laurence9695 never have we claimed she is either ;)

Hi
HEY!!
Where does your family live
all over florida :)
Lock. Then ur locked in. But mass movment of water.
Smart not lock any rope inside dock. I saw that in video too 😉
🙂.
Okay did I miss something did you get your mask on your sailboat fixed
The term is "dirty air".
when i win the lottery and buy one of those mansions on Siesta Key or Bird Key you can dock your boat at my dock and stay in one of my 12 bedrooms LOLOL
DEAL! lol

Me miss a video ? hahahaha

We have a place on Treasure Island and the Red Tide was disgusting.
It is unfortunate but in the last two years, the waterways around here have become extremely packed with new boaters, and they don’t know or don’t care about boating, etiquette rules and regulations
Unfortunate. It’s really more about just being respectful right? Even if you don’t know the rules to a T, just be nice. 😎
not a john boat thats a vhull john boat is flat bottom squared front
