Bon Voyage Mads. Have a safe and exciting trip. My wife and I love your videos and appreciate the time and passion that you put into them. Can't wait to see the Atlantic from your perspective.
Mads, I want to wish you a very safe trip. In a way we will all be with you on your crossing. I have told you in the past that I was looking to buy my first sailboat. Well, a Cascade 27 Sloop with a very heavy duty trailer fell into my lap. I plan to video my refit and learning to sail it . I have been interested in sailing for a few decades but just never took the steps to make the dream a reality. You guys and gals that I have watched on You Tube have inspired me to take those steps. At 60 , my dream of sailing waters both near and far are getting closer. Hug Jokull for me ( I just lost my friend ) , and before you go. Thank you for the inspiration, and you have done a very fine job of your refit and your videos. I enjoy watching and learning ! Fair Winds, David:
+otagi Thank you so much :) I really hope the videos will turn out okay. It'll be the first time I'm trying to document something like this. Normally it's just me on the camera. Fingers crossed! :)
Mads you are an inspiration. Love your videos and your analytic style. I plan to buy a boat, live aboard, and sail the world in the near future myself and i imagine most of your followers are like me in that they love the little details you provide because they are so informative for us geeks who really want to make it work. Thank you!
The very best of luck on your journey. Really looking forward to the next video packed full of adventure. I'm sure all your fans will miss seeing your weekly updates. Happy Travels.
Fair winds and calm seas enjoy the trip Mads not everyone will do or get the chance to do what your about to embark on will be following your adventure as it unfolds thank you for sharing with all of us
Have a safe trip! I have been watching all your videos (all videos playlist, kudos for creating it, very helpful), it is amazing to see your transition into the boat, all the building videos etc. And also how the production has improved over time. A lot of fun, and it helps smoothing my longing for the next sailing season. Once again. Have a safe trip, with good winds and loads of fun!
So happy for you and this adventure you are going on. I am sure I speak for all of us when I say, we will be here when you get back and look forward to hearing all of the details from your trip and seeing the videos when you edit and post them at some point in the future.
May this coming year be filled with unexpected blessings, and may you have a wonderful and safe voyage and return. Going for 8 weeks without seeing any of your videos is going to put me into sailing vlog withdrawals, but I know that when you get back, there will be some awesome footage from a salty sailor in the making. Bon voyage Mads!
Oh and Happy Birthday and I hope you have a great trip across the pond. Wishing you fair winds and safe travels and remember one hand for the ship and one for yourself. Look forward to the reports as and when you can. Andy
Good luck Mads! and fair winds as they say! excited for you too. Regarding the gas canister, I've flown with my PFD on numerous occasions without it cause security issues. Only once was I asked to remove it ( gas canister) ..... sometimes it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission if you get my drift! Really looking forward to your first broadcast from Fiona 👍⛵🍻
CO2 cartridges are allowed in the US by the TSA. you must have them with the life jacket and you are allowed two, one in the unit the other a spare. It's not a bad idea to print out the TSA specification on it since I have been challenged on the rule before when traveling back into the US. luckily I had the print out with me!
Happy Birthday, Mads! We wish you just the best for your upcoming sailing years and especially for your Atlantic crossing. This will be amazing and we'll stay tuned on all channels! So cool to see all the nifty gadgets you're bringing along. Don't forget your toothbrush! :-) *virtual pat on the back from Kristy*
Happy B'Day Mads ! Looks like you might have put a little thought into preparing for your trip ! LOL I'm getting a little nervous and excited and I'm not even the one going !!! :-) :-) :-) I hope you can get your Iron Sail reinstalled before you leave so when you get back you and Yokull can just relax and catch up without any projects pending. Maybe you can get your parents to walk around and talk to the camera so he will think that it IS just normal behavior what you have been doing all of this time ! LOL Fair Winds to you Mad and I'm sure you are going to have a great time !
Mads, have a good trip to Portugal, safe journey across to the West Indies, first stop. It is best to leave the engine out till you get back, we can see the install and start up, don,t rush things, not that you have ever done.Fair winds and flat seas.
Hi Mads, Have an excellent trip. I crossed the Atlantic 5 years ago aboard the Norwegian tall ship "Sørlandet" - it was a phenomenal trip. I was aboard for 4 months. Have an amazing trip.
Mads, wishing you a safe and fun crossing. I've followed you for sometime and you are a great inspiration to sailors and non sailors alike! I enjoy both the sailing geek factor-mean this with only love and admiration- as well as the message to follow your dreams. Speaking for all your UA-cam fans- we will look forward to watching your crossing adventure once you make land fall our our side of the pod - best regards Rob Towle.
Farewell & safe travels. After finding your channel through the Merry Christmas videos a bunch of you cruisers put together, I have just caught up to real time, just in time to see you go on a long break! (bummer for me). A video outlining your expected itinerary and trip timing would be super! Very excited for you!
Fair winds Mads! I can't wait to see your videos of the crossing! Also I have to commend you on your prep work, going as far as to try out your sea sickness patch is brilliant! Have fun and congratulations.
Well, a happy birthday to you. Must be nice to be so young;) It is good that you are making your first crossing with an experienced captain on a sound and seaworthy vessel. Have a wonderful time and learn much.
It's been so much fun following along with your journey, and although it will be weird not having my Sail Life fix I can't wait to see the content you bring back with you! Have a safe and fun trip! :)
Great adventure coming, soo wonderful. :) A few recommendations if you don't mind. If it gets too heavy, why not leave the bigger headphones home and only use the small ones. And when I've been out in the woods for a longer periods of time, my choice for underwear is always long johns or boxer shorts and t-shirt with long or short sleeves made out of Merino wool. You can use them in cold or moderately warm environment and they don't start to smell bad for weeks. They kind of clean themselves when hang out in fresh air.
Always love following your channel Mads, I grew up sailing a Morgan OI 33 for a couple decades, and sadly have been away from anything with a sail on it for some time! Its great to see you going on a journey I hope to do myself at some point in the future. Wish you the very best! And honestly... TAKE the coin with you!! It could be good luck for your next boat! Best! -Mark
I wish you luck, and a pleasant voyage. It's quite an adventure you're embarking on, I'm both envious and glad it isn't me, I'd be a bag of nerves by now. Fair winds.
Hi Mads, All the very best for your trip hope all goes well and you can keep making great videos. I will look forward to your position reports etc. cheers Steve Higgs Living the dream aboard S/V Cascade of Hamble, Scotland.
you are the first guy I saw that uses playlist extensively to help you viewer to find the required info quickly.
Thanks a lot for all your efforts!
Happy Birthday! Have a wonderful and safe trip! I'm very excited for you and I can't wait to see the videos of your adventures!
