I know nothing about sailing. I have only watched videos of intrepid spirits like you guys cross oceans. Fantastic. Yours is the "rolliest" boat I have ever seen in any of all the videos I have seen. Thank you for explaining why.
Don't just let these moments glide past. Life is about collecting memories. A bucket list is only worth your time when you realize you need a bigger bucket.😁
Wow. A sailing channel that shows sailing and sail adjustments rather than just talking about them. Show more actual sailing. Thanks. Liked, subscribed and belled!
That was an awesome video showing the challenges and rewards (working toilet) of a long passage. Nice shout out to Gary for the successful repair. Beautiful spinnaker too. Have fun, be safe, and enjoy One Life 🇺🇸🙏👏🏻🚜🤗.
I sailed around the world in the early '90s. A boat almost same size and configuration as One Life. Also had a very very similar philosophy and approach to blue water sailing. All this makes it super fun to watch your videos😊
That has to be a mood destroyer crapping in a bucket on the high seas. I just could not muster the courage to do something like this but I love the story.
We found sailing with just spinnaker, without the main, it was very rolly. When we hoisted the main, we found it was much more stable. Thanks for sharing your videos.
So is altering course a point or two. More comfort, less roll, Better VMG, The main can be used for both propulsion and roll damping. What's not to like?
It's great to see you guys interacting so well together, it can't be easy in such a small environment. ... all I can see is that its truly a relaxes team effort. I'm pleased to see both of you using safety kit when working with sails. I wish you continued safe sailing.
Glad you got into the ocean groove. Did the Atlantic South and North 4 times in the late 1990's and the ocean passages were the best. Time exclusively for yourself as we were max 3 people at a time.
Made my morning coffee when I saw your video! Nice spinnaker. Glad it came down safely. Enjoying your passage videos. Looking forward to the next. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Just love your channel! Your videos are so raw and real. ( I don’t have a boat, or know anything about sailing) You show sailing in the real world! Stay safe guys!👍🥰🥰🏴
It's great to see ypu are both feeling better and all is well! You're both in my prayers for a safe journey to the other side. Thanks for sharing your journey! ❤ ⛵️
I watched a few scattered videos and how I ever stumbled across these videos I'll never know, but I went back to video 1 and binged watch this and finished 9/30/23 central time, Missouri and realized you two are in the pacific ocean at this time, wow! I feel like I'm right there with you. I wish you 2 all the best and cannot wait until the next video. Brook, you really do a great job with the videos. Gary, I can relate to you fixing everything, and Brook does her share, too. Safe sailing to you both.
Glad to see you two healthy and still chugging along, mucho courage out there. I'll stick with my coastal cruising thank you. Some years back one of my sailboats had two heads. Always wanted to remove second one and make tool storage/sail locker out of it plus would get rid of a thru hull. But after seeing your trouble that might be justification to leave second head in boat. Good luck, of course great video.
Hey Jack! Thank you! We always thought having two heads would just be more things to fix....but when we were without one, we certainly wished we had two! Grass is always greener... 💚
Best boat hack.. Remove the old toilet pump, us a maciator on the out side and a saltwater pump for the in. Each on their own switch. This will change boating for you.
Wow! Great filming and content. We are a sailing couple as well, rarely have extra crew, so while we are 20 years ahead of you in age, you are about 20,000 sailing miles ahead of us and your videos are extremely informative as well as entertaining. Well done.
the romance of a broken toilet and 5 minutes too late reducing sail . . . as jimmy sang, "its for the stories we can tell." keep on telling. it is truly romantic in a way few will ever know like you.
Hey! Good to hear from y’all! I can’t imagine fixing a cra**er in the middle of the ocean!🤣 Prayers, blue skies, and smooth sailing for the rest of the way. Looking forward to next episode!
I think Gary should call Home Depot to see about endorsement for their nice Orange buckets😂 great video about the fun of Ocean passages and head issues. ❤❤
Great video you two hope to be where you are in a few years can’t tell you how much inspiration I get from watching these videos along with Delos and a couple others so thanks for what you do
This documentary of the crossing is definitely in the top echelon. Good story telling and cinema, you got me I’m going back to episode one for a binge, wahay.
Enjoyed the video showing vairioius issues and challenges you guys are facing. Interesting to hear about the different sail configurations you have considered and tried. Through this you guys continue to show a positive attitude and outlook. Thanks for sharing with us. All the best...
Good seeing you again this week happy to see all is going well. All good here in OBX, dodged a couple potential storms and fingers crossed our luck continues. Hope the same for you guys. Ed
Great video, appreciated Gary's sail setup explanation while going dead downwind. The question just entered my mind and Gary explained. Great video, nice editing.
Love your videos guys, I seem to learn more from you guys than any other channel and it is very helpful as we are looking to set off next march up the east coast of Australia. I also love your boat works series as well. If you get to Australia maybe you could look us up. Keep the awesome videos coming, they are great.
Hi there! We are happy to hear you are learning some things from our videos. Good luck to you on your future journey. We hope to make it to Australia at some point! Maybe we will cross paths one day. ⛵🙌
I love the videos guys!! Every time you threw one of those Chicken Dolphins back in I screamed...nooooooo!!!! That's fresh meat and tasty too. No way would I have done that but I am a bit of a rogue at times...lol! Enjoy the sailing and the time together!!!!
So glad to see this update. I was getting very worried but found you on Instagram, so I was happy to see you got to French Polynesia! YAY! Great videos and I really enjoy watching them. I have to suggest to buy some eyeglasses chains/straps to wear. I lost my favorite sunglasses while sailing and my dad lost his eyeglasses, which was really bad as he has Astigmatism and made it harder for him to see. You both stay safe!
Hi Nancy! Thank you! Yes, our videos are behind real time. We are safe and sound! Appreciate the tip on the sunglass strap. Gary has one that he uses for his sunnies but we need them for our glasses!
Thanks guy's! I'm absolutely loving watching your pacific adventure and the day to day struggles you have along the way! Take care and safe travels guy's 👍
It’s great to see and hear all about the day to day life on passages. Thank you for not rushing through this and spreading it over more than one video!
Every boat I have bought...I always buy new heads...haha...solves some of the toilet drama..who doesn't hate boat head drama..hahah..Gary's face after the fix...hahaha...what can I say..hahah (love all the effort you all do like the drone shots and all of that)
Just started watching this past week and I'm hooked, thanks. Also, my wife has the same type of spinnaker story on Lake Michigan as I was just like Gary and a bit slow on listening to her. I have learned my lesson. Keep up with the wonderful videos and be safe.
Not on the boat, but at 31:46 with that sky in the horizon, I thought that why are they putting up the spinnaker, well yeah. Glad nothing bad happened. Thanks for the video!
Straight over the rail… drag a wash cloth behind on a rope, use it, drop it back in. Then you don’t mess up the bucket. Don’t worry, you’ll find the right perch.
Baggy wrinkles are not suitable for running rigging. Sisal and hemp being in short supply, inexpensive plastic boots are available for use on spreader tips. For my money, I would have simply relocated the preventer a notch or two.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice ride guys 🎉 You did pass up some sweet trading Mahi. Oh well. Thanks for a great episode. 👍🏻🙌🏻 See you next time.✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨
Brooke and Gary - you guys are rockin’ this sh*t !! This was a fantastic episode ! Your current editing style is excellent. Can’t wait to see the conclusion of this epic first time Pacific Ocean crossing. And speaking of which, CONGRATULATIONS as not only did you achieve this huge milestone but you two are now Shellbacks 🤙🏼⛵️ You two are rapidly becoming one of my top 3 sailing channels. ( and sorry, I’m not saying who is in which position of my top 3 ) 😊
Hey guys - so cool that you are out there - shew you have done great - well done man.. Nice scuba diving ahead of you in FP... please what are your night watch shifts - and how is satrlink worong out.. So happy for you.. When the boss says reef - reef..
the only problem with Composting toilets is where do you keep all that Biomass for them that they need? A Seawater toilet you bring in the Water, flush and dump, or holding tank while at Anchor. Only Reak issue is urine reacts with Seawater, and the pipework starts to build up a calcium lining, so soak them with Spirit Vinegar regularly to clean that off the pipes. I have heard a number of people saying to soak with bleach prior to doing the Vinegar soak, Sounds OK, but I haven't had a chance to try it myself yet. Spirit Vinegar is nice for removing scuffs and stains from Non slip decks as well, just brush on with a deck brush, leave to work then rinse off. Spirit Vinegar can be really cheap to stock up with, and if you close the seacocks, can freshen up the sink piping from Galley and sinks in heads too. Chlorine in Bleach (especially the weak standard stuff ) normally is gone really fast too. Friend's wife, ex Waterboard employee, cleans up chlorinated tap water by filling a jug, and popping it in the fridge overnight, and in the morning, Chlorine free water. 👍 Safe Travels and Fair Winds. Bob. ⛵️✨️✨️✨️❤️
@@brownnoise357 storing the media to cover is a definite consideration, but with a low powered fan to vent and a stirring function, it dessicates pretty quickly and you don't need a huge amount of media for a couple of weeks.
Good to catch up with you guys. I love how you handle all situations as a team. Safe passage. All the film of the caught mahi-mahi makes me want to run up to the Sandbar for some fish tacos.
@@SailingOneLife Actually, as I was going out the door, a friend called and said she was heading up to Grills at the Port to hear another friend of our's band play. So we ended up there. I'll save the fish tacos for another day. 😁
I know nothing about sailing. I have only watched videos of intrepid spirits like you guys cross oceans. Fantastic. Yours is the "rolliest" boat I have ever seen in any of all the videos I have seen. Thank you for explaining why.
Hey Sam! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this video!
Most authentic sailing couple on YT right here folks.
Ah, thanks Andrew!! 💙
the crapping in the bucket was hilarious. bring me a newspaper lol
💩🪣
Don't just let these moments glide past. Life is about collecting memories. A bucket list is only worth your time when you realize you need a bigger bucket.😁
100%💙💙
Keep using the bucket? 😜
Love seeing just the three of you sailing across the ocean. Brooke, Gary and Gary’s epic beard.
Love you two! 💜
Wow. A sailing channel that shows sailing and sail adjustments rather than just talking about them. Show more actual sailing. Thanks. Liked, subscribed and belled!

Hi Lisa! Ah very cool, thanks for sharing! Happy to hear you are enjoying watching our journey!
Loved the sail plan talk, Gary! Thank you for talking about the rig & not being able to go wing-on-wing.
Good to hear you enjoyed that! Thanks!
That has to be a mood destroyer crapping in a bucket on the high seas. I just could not muster the courage to do something like this but I love the story.
Haha the bucket was not ideal but things can always be worse! Thanks for coming along with us!
We found sailing with just spinnaker, without the main, it was very rolly. When we hoisted the main, we found it was much more stable. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Good to know! Thank you :)
A wet cloth under your cutting board will stop it from sliding. You guys are living my dream!
Thanks for the tip! A couple others recommended that as well!
So is altering course a point or two. More comfort, less roll, Better VMG, The main can be used for both propulsion and roll damping. What's not to like?
Best wake up video on the internet. :)
Hahaha thanks, Gibb! Glad you enjoyed it!
It's great to see you guys interacting so well together, it can't be easy in such a small environment. ... all I can see is that its truly a relaxes team effort. I'm pleased to see both of you using safety kit when working with sails. I wish you continued safe sailing.
Hi Laurie! Thank you! It is definitely a team effort! 💜
Omg Gary is soooo funny!!!!
Thanks, Donna!

Hi there! Oh wow, that's incredible! Maybe we will cross the Atlantic one day!
Thank you for sharing youre journey with all of us, may Neptune be mercifoul on you forever.
Thanks for coming along with us! 💙⛵
Made my morning coffee when I saw your video! Nice spinnaker. Glad it came down safely. Enjoying your passage videos. Looking forward to the next. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Thanks for having your morning coffee with us, Lois! 💜
I wsas getting a bit worried, a long time with no commo and a big passage! Glad to see your smiling faces! Be safe, looking fwd to the next video.
We are safe and sound! Just behind on editing with all the sailing! Cheers!
Just love your channel!
Your videos are so raw and real. ( I don’t have a boat, or know anything about sailing)
You show sailing in the real world!
Stay safe guys!👍🥰🥰🏴

Hey Scott! Enjoy some of that cool fall weather for us. It's very hot here!
The man knows his shit! great video B n G..
Nothing like a little poop storm in the middle of the ocean! Captain Gary to the rescue! 😂
Loved it! Lol at the bucket 😂
Hahaha the bucket. 💩

Yes. Take the wind where it wants to go. Make it comfortable in the general direction. Its not the destiation its the journey.
It's 100% about the journey indeed!
Wow.. so much going on.. stay safe peeps x
Thank you! 🙌⛵
Monday I left Split, Croatia on a 50' Bennetteau. Hit Vis, Brac, Korcula and today at Havr. Been awesome all week.
Hi Dennis! Awesome, we hope to get to that area some day!
@SailingOneLife I have Sailed in the Bahamas and there are 1200+ islands to visit here too.
And on Tuesday I just left. like one really cares that is a pm. Make another’s work about you. Can’t make it up thank you.
Best boat hack.. Remove the old toilet pump, us a maciator on the out side and a saltwater pump for the in.
Each on their own switch. This will change boating for you.
Ah good recommendation, thank you!
I sure do like the dodger you made, Brooke. All the strata glass is awesome! what a view. I really do enjoy the videos
Thank you, Harold and Joanne! It was a group effort! We are really happy with how it turned out!
Wow! Great filming and content. We are a sailing couple as well, rarely have extra crew, so while we are 20 years ahead of you in age, you are about 20,000 sailing miles ahead of us and your videos are extremely informative as well as entertaining. Well done.

Hey! Good to hear from y’all! I can’t imagine fixing a cra**er in the middle of the ocean!🤣 Prayers, blue skies, and smooth sailing for the rest of the way. Looking forward to next episode!
Thank you! Yes, Gary was certainly a legend for fixing our toilet while underway!
So rolly, so glad I've started to build a Catamaran, but enjoy watching😊
Haha we may have wished we were on a catamaran a time or two during our crossing! 🤣🙃
Another fantastic video! What a great start to the video 😂 glad you got the toilet fixed!
We promise we won't make you fix the toilet 😂
great video... well done... you're doing great... keep it up!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! Happy to hear you enjoyed this video!
I think Gary should call Home Depot to see about endorsement for their nice Orange buckets😂 great video about the fun of Ocean passages and head issues. ❤❤
😂 maybe Yeti will give us a bucket with a lid!
That was in bad taste. They should be living in a trailer instead of a boat.
Funny to me. When we stop laughing at ourselves, that is a big problem.
Great video - we appreciate the sailing info you share. It makes us feel like we are out there with you. Maybe one day!
Hi there, thank you! We appreciate you coming along with us!
Great video you two hope to be where you are in a few years can’t tell you how much inspiration I get from watching these videos along with Delos and a couple others so thanks for what you do

@@SailingOneLife thanx
Love the tool drawers! Nicely organized!
Seriously that is really cool.
Thank you! Gary spent quite a bit of time getting his tool area how he wants it!
Simply amazing Part 2 vlog. I am so looking forward to your next one. You are almost halfway through...Thank you
Hi there :) happy to hear you are enjoying our Pacific Ocean Crossing series! We look forward to sharing our next episode.
Good job, sailors this is certainly the real deal adventure with very beautiful places to experience awaiting your arrival. Highest Blessings
Thank you! Looking forward to sharing French Polynesia with you!
the joker valve change is my favorite pastime
Always a good time. 😂
So glad to see this update. I was getting very worried but found you on Instagram, so I was happy to see you got to French Polynesia! YAY! Great videos and I really enjoy watching them.
I have to suggest to buy some eyeglasses chains/straps to wear. I lost my favorite sunglasses while sailing and my dad lost his eyeglasses, which was really bad as he has Astigmatism and made it harder for him to see. You both stay safe!

Thanks, Danny! Good to hear you are enjoying our crossing series! Hope you have a good weekend!
Gary repeat after me “Brooke was right we should have taken down the spinnaker” 😂
Gary repeat after me 'Brooke is always right' 🤣💙
One of your best episodes! You look to be handling the challenges very well.
Hi Joe! Thank you! We are happy you enjoyed this one!
Well done , I appreciate your explanations of sailing techniques , I enjoy watching ,but have never sailed . Thankyou 😊
Hi Robert! Good to know you like those segments! Thank you!
Love your videos been watching for a while just went back to start them from video #1 keep them coming Thanks
Hey there :) thank you! Happy to hear you are enjoying our channel! We really appreciate you going back and seeing our journey from the beginning!
It’s great to see and hear all about the day to day life on passages. Thank you for not rushing through this and spreading it over more than one video!

Great show....

Wonderful video. Made me feel like I was with you.
Thank you! Happy to be able to take you along with us!
Thanks for bringing us along , i enjoy watching your adventure, be safe guys
Thanks for the comment and for coming along with us out here!
Every boat I have bought...I always buy new heads...haha...solves some of the toilet drama..who doesn't hate boat head drama..hahah..Gary's face after the fix...hahaha...what can I say..hahah (love all the effort you all do like the drone shots and all of that)
Haha, Gary was certainly wishing we had a new toilet after this! 💩🤣 And thank you for the compliment on the drone footage! We really appreciate that!
At least a couple of those mahis were keepers. The last one for sure!
In hindsight, we should have kept the last one!
dang, great work folks! 7 mins in watching him fix the toilet was UUUGGGG but i appreciate you guys keeping so REAL!
Haha yeah good thing we had a bucket! 💩🥴
Just started watching this past week and I'm hooked, thanks. Also, my wife has the same type of spinnaker story on Lake Michigan as I was just like Gary and a bit slow on listening to her. I have learned my lesson. Keep up with the wonderful videos and be safe.

Thanks for watching! 💙
Its all fun and games till the toilet breaks !!!!
That's right! 😂💩😳
Hey I appreciate your thoughts and explanations on your actions and sail choice under different conditions!! Fair winds!
Glad you liked that part! Thank you!
Straight over the rail… drag a wash cloth behind on a rope, use it, drop it back in. Then you don’t mess up the bucket. Don’t worry, you’ll find the right perch.
Haha love this approach! Save the bucket!
Your journey has been an absolute joy to watch. I look forward to your next episode. Stay safe out there.
Ah, thank you! We appreciate you coming along with us and we look forward to sharing our future journey with you!
Love your videos they are real
Thank you! Happy to hear you are enjoying our videos!
I was eating a Blue Bell Fudge Bar when you went after the head that second time.
Thanks guys.
🤣🤣 too funny!
@@SailingOneLife Timing is everything they say.
I gotta say. The fish must really love the 2 of you, always throwing them back.
Fish karma for the big ones!
Had to be the funniest opening with poor Gary sitting on a bucket. Bet that was rough repairing the toilet while sailing.
😂😂 we laughed so hard replaying that clip! Glad you found it hilarious as well!
Awesome video guys! Way to show the reality of life at sea.
Thanks for watching, friends! 💙
When you talked about chafe protection, the word “baggy wrinkle” popped into my head.
Ah yes! They remind me of mop heads! 😂
Baggy wrinkles are not suitable for running rigging. Sisal and hemp being in short supply, inexpensive plastic boots are available for use on spreader tips.
For my money, I would have simply relocated the preventer a notch or two.
What an amazing adventure! Thanks for sharing, you two - your story is a shed-load of great fun! ;-)

Hey guys - so cool that you are out there - shew you have done great - well done man.. Nice scuba diving ahead of you in FP... please what are your night watch shifts - and how is satrlink worong out.. So happy for you.. When the boss says reef - reef..
Hey Dirk, hope you are doing well! Starlink has been working wonderfully. Certainly a game changer. Our shifts are 4 hours each 24/7.
Of all the many sailing chanels I watch, you all seem to go through many of the toughest seas by far. Great to watch!😎
Happy to hear you are enjoying our channel!
I like the simplicity of sh!tting in a bucket. When we build our boat, composting head it is.
Quite a few of our previous buddy boats have composting heads, much less to go wrong! Gary refers to them as the kitty litter buckets. 😂
the only problem with Composting toilets is where do you keep all that Biomass for them that they need? A Seawater toilet you bring in the Water, flush and dump, or holding tank while at Anchor. Only Reak issue is urine reacts with Seawater, and the pipework starts to build up a calcium lining, so soak them with Spirit Vinegar regularly to clean that off the pipes.

@@brownnoise357 storing the media to cover is a definite consideration, but with a low powered fan to vent and a stirring function, it dessicates pretty quickly and you don't need a huge amount of media for a couple of weeks.
Not having a black water tank opens up a vast amount of storage to store bricks of coconut coir ;) for the #humanlitterbox 🤣
@@BeauAndBrandy that's a great point B&B
Good to catch up with you guys. I love how you handle all situations as a team. Safe passage. All the film of the caught mahi-mahi makes me want to run up to the Sandbar for some fish tacos.
Hi Dan! Thanks for the comment! Hope you are having a good weekend.....did you end up at the Sandbar for fish tacos? 😂
@@SailingOneLife Actually, as I was going out the door, a friend called and said she was heading up to Grills at the Port to hear another friend of our's band play. So we ended up there. I'll save the fish tacos for another day. 😁
