Thank you. we are not interested in VPNs... but if you get any offers for boating stuff, like sails or batteries, sola, or water makers. Jump at it. we'll all be happy to watch, if your getting real benefit from it :)
Fair play for not doing the ads. If you're able to continue the lifestyle without it that's great. But if not, then no one will think any less of you if you do some selling with the sailing. Personally, I'd like to see more of your interactions with people on your travels. Let your personalities shine through.
We are ok for money at the moment as we always stick to a very tight budget and anchor everywhere. Just want to avoid having more ads on the channel. We will try and film more interactions with people on our journey ✌️😁
I really appreciate your views, however I think most people watching this channel would be OK with some adds. The channels I follow have sometimes promoted items that you know are of no interest to them, stick to stuff you would buy yourself and you'll be OK..
I admire your reaction to the advertising, but don’t be to afraid of it, and if you do decide in the future to do an ad for some one, just make sure it’s for something or some company that you trust and believe in. Keep on enjoying yourselves, and thanks for taking us all on the adventure with you. 👍🏻😁😉
Maybe if it was a cheese sponsor or something sailing related that we believe in then maybe we would. It's an absolute pleasure having you all along with us ⛵✌️
Loving it lads 🏴👌🏻 You can tell the type of lads you are by you not accepting that VPN Advert just for the money like other UA-camrs 👌🏻 As far as the merchandise pricing goes, It is what it is 👍🏻 Two down to earth lads from Barry, Keep doing what your doing lads, your doing amazing and inspiring people everyday,
No one wants to listen to us Babylon about advertisements when UA-cam play enough adverts as it is. The merchandise is expensive but yes it is what it is is. We will keep on smiling and being honest ⛵😁
You ARE the best sailing channel and your viewers appreciate the honesty and sincerity of your channel. So, next time someone offers you $500 for a 60 second video, do it, but tell us, like, starting now we are doing a very exciting advertisement for X VPN, then do it. We can skip it (or watch it) and you get the $500. We want you to have the money so we'll skip an advert, no big deal. I also love how you don't just tell us what you are doing, you show us and talk as you do it. The engine mount episode was awesome as you walked us through the process, Thank You. You guys do an awesome filming, content and editing job. Thank You for all of your hard work!
Thank you so much we really do appreciate that 👊. We have had many offers for advertisements but always turned it down. The money would definitely help especially if it was sailing related 😉
I love your innate authenticity coupled with your unbridled enthusiasm. You both are quite adept at transmitting your emotions through the lens. Well done, great channel!!!
Been watching you for ages (your newer stuff) and decided to go back and binge watch your travels so far!! You two are amazing and it's great to see your honesty and openness. You were right not to accept the ad revenue for the VPN provider, but it would have been so funny to watch you two trying to explain what a VPN was!!! Fair weather and following seas to you both!
Funny as when this was made I took a photo of a tornado forming near the Angel of the North ...Living in Nashville for years Im not afraid to say I sht myself as I never thought I'd see a one here in Newcastle. Take care fellas and you definitely need a Cheese sponsor deal after all Adam is close to Edam 😂😀
We were worried to say the least. If we got hit by a tornado it would have been the end. We would take up a cheese sponsor as it's something we are passionate about ⛵😁😎
Don't think I've commented in a while lads. Loved this one, Atlas was whipping along there. Just brilliant !!! My t-shirt arrived last week, its great quality. I appreciate you turned down the VPN ad. I think most viewers would find it acceptable if a supplier sent you sailing gear in exchange for a review though, it could happen some day, you never know. Mrs M really excited to see NY episodes. Until next time then, fair winds Brothers ⛵️
Hey Jonathan 👋. We had such a good sail in this episode ⛵. Really got to hear the t-shirt is of good quality. Sailing gear or a cheese sponsor would be more appropriate 🧀😁. Luke has been editing the New York episode today Mrs M 🤘
Always wondered what sailing in the Chesapeake would be like. Thanks for sharing. I see you guys got another mention in this month's Practical Boat Owner magazine.
Good on ya for recognizing why people watch sailing channels. 500 quid is a handful of dosh. Maintaining the integrity of your journey speaks volumes about you both... Good decision...
You fella's are having more fun than you deserve! That was a cracking sail. Sad that your time in the US is going so fast,but the adventure continues nevertheless. Two of the best sailing channels worth watching on youtube, are yourselves and Waxwing.(Peter Lawless). Keep em coming.
We are having an incredible time Craig it is is fantastic to have the chance to visit all these amazing places. We have been chatting to Peter on his rival 41 ⛵
Nice to get your impressions of the Cheaspeake Bay 👍 and yes, tornadoes do occur on the East coast of the USA! And really do respect your decision on the VPN advertising, it takes integrity and willpower to stick to your beliefs 👍👍. Thanks for sharing, sail safe!
Fantastic sailing in Chesapeake Bay. Bit scary with all the thunderstorms around and the tornado warning. We want to keep our channel as clean as we can 😁⛵

We do have patreon and coffee which keeps us going. Our patrons our lifeline. We also have a merch store available. Super happy you enjoy the videos ⛵😁
Chesapeake Bay sailing is great - except when it isn't. I've been sailing my S/V Rocinante for a few years and I still haven't figured it out. Sorry you weren't planning to stop on the way up - Annapolis is a GREAT place for sailors. Cheers!!! PS - yeah....the advert BS....thanks for not selling out!!!
We really enjoyed our time in the Chesapeake Bay, some incredible sailing and some not so. Didn't have time to stop anywhere as our visa is taking away! Keeping the channel real and the less adverts the better ⛵✌️
Well done for not selling out to the advertisers. You need to follow Foresty Forest. He refuses to do ads. He has 320k subscribers and quite a few very loyal Patreons who keep him going. I think he's doing ok without adverts. You make really good footage. Beautiful boat the Rival. Classic lines.
We are keeping the channel as clean as possible and real Alex. I wish we had 320 k subscribers 😲. We love our patrons they are our lifeline. Thanks for your lovely comments 👌✌️⛵
There absolutely HAS to be a Welsh cheese company who would be happy to supply some product and £500 for a 60 second taste test and review !!!! Common boyos, help the lads out!!🏴
Love your stance on not accepting the Queens shilling regarding advertising... yours is a proper sailing channel done for the right reasons. I find it strange how some so called sailing channels seem to expect others to fund them beyond their You Tube content... soulless.
Our channel is about to keep in it real life, honest and just having fun sailing. We started the channel so we could share our sailing adventures with you all! ⛵😁
If you are after stable bowls with high sides, have a look at the bowls available for pets. We used big plastic dog bowls when we sail in the Irish Sea and it keeps everything inside the bowl and not over you, the table and the floor ;)
We had a fantastic sail, really enjoyed it. Didn't realise it could be so good. Can't imagine what it would have been like if a tornado touchdown 😲. Nice to hear of you Snowy Owl ✌️
do not think like it's not for you guys, we all needs and we all are working for it. this is not work for you we all know but that 60 sec we can sacrifice for you guys getting better and right equipment's for your safety. i would be ok to watch 60 sec. and im sure you guys will be natural and not fake for that advertise too. so go for it...
Thank you for your opinion we really do appreciate the feedback. We want to keep the channel free from ads as much as possible and we are doing ok on our budget at the moment as we anchor everywhere and it's free 😁
I appreciate your choice on advertising, although it would not affdect my viewing if you had taken the money. Great sailing again, that and your honest and down to earth attitiude, is what keeps me following.
Hi lads, if you're looking for some nice deep bowls, try some stainless steel dog bowls. They'll be great for your type of meals on the high sea's. The videos are getting better now, I'm loving now, stay safe.
Yes, tornadoes are seen around the Chesapeake Bay especially during the spring & summer months. They also get heavy weathet systems like tropical storms that come up the coast & turn inland. I use to keep my sailboat in Deltaville, Va. We had a horrible storm blow thru one year. Hurricane force winds and extremely high tides. Stay on the watch when NOAA sends out warnings. Cheers, love your channel. ♡
I can see why you can get bad winds like tropical storms and tornadoes in the Chesapeake very scary as it gets quite hot in the Chesapeake. Hope you're boat didn't get damaged.
Thanks for not taking up the advertising idea, for what it’s worth I think you are right it would not suit your style of sailing which is basic good seamanship and not full of all the unnecessary electronic gizmos that many channels seem to be addicted too which are not needed to sail well. Keep up the great work guys and enjoy the voyage.
You’re good sailors lads. Love the channel & if you want to have a little chat about a VPN, do it. We can always FF for a minute & if it gives you guys a couple of extra quid, go for it👍😊 Fair winds Warren
Hey boys fantastic sailing and thanks so much for sharing the commercial trap with us, I stopped watching other utubers because they've become actors. Remember the great lakes are just around the corner love to see you in them
Hi Gail. We want to keep the channel as clean as possible and not fill it with pointless annoying adverts that no one wants to hear about. The Great lakes sound great 🤣🤣😁
Chaps, great to see your doing well. I have heard because of the design dog bowls being used so your food doesn't spill, just an idea. A question for you both; what are your 3 best places to visit in Wales? Cheers 👍👍
We have been looking in Walmart for dog bowls but they seem overly expensive. Going to try a dollar store 😁. 1- the Gower peninsula, 2- Fresh water West in West Wales and Brecon beacons for hiking
Late seeing your post. Nice, thanks for sharing. Years ago I was on Chesapeake Bay! Stay safe.......... from the houseboat on the lakes of the Ozarks, childfree
Brilliant as always. Merch prices are fine . Advertise if you need to . I always watch the adverts because I like to think I am helping fund your adventure. Videos like yours are better than TV. x
That is really nice of you to say so Christine we really appreciate it, "better than TV"😁✌️. Wish we could lower the merch prices a little but it is what it is
Nice one! Well done for sticking to your morals and turning down something that you did not believe in. Shows true character and integrity. Like others have said, I'm sure you will get offers that align with your interests and beliefs. Better to hold out than sell out! When I lived in Cyprus I saw tornados on the coast and at sea, sea spouts, you definitely don't want to be around one of those! Stay safe and keep doing you.
Hi Pete. We want to keep the channel clean fresh and honest without too many annoying adverts. Maybe it was something like a cheese sponsor or sailing gear 🤔 don't know what we would have done if a tornado touched down in the area 😬✌️
Very Well said Luke 🌟 good for you both! So refreshing! Absolutely Loving your American 🇺🇸 adventures, keep safe, fair winds, new bowls and an abundance of cheese always ⛵️🧀🧀🧀❤️
Thanks Cara. We have absolutely loved the American adventure but it's coming to an end soon as our visa is running out 😭. Canada is calling 😁. And dog bowls
@@TheSailingBrothers haha, I love you two! I hope you can go back to America on the route home maybe? Canada 🇨🇦 is going to be so amazing though, you really will love it! Your journeys make me so happy, thank you so much for sharing them with us all! My heroes ⛵️🍾✨
Loving the videos, When I go out sailing I find you cant beat good old tupperware boxes for eating out of, if you need to stop and adjust something you can put the lid on your food and know it wont spill out :)
Just brought a sailing brothers mug, I don't think it's expensive, I see it as a contribution to your adventures 👍 keep it up guys can't wait until next episode thanks
I commend you guys for resisting the temptation to do the ad. But, if Mantus anchors ever calls, take the offer. Their anchors are great! G. King, SV Intuition
Thanks for being honest about monetising your channel. I think your channel is your primary business asset and you should maximize your asset when possible. I LOVE that you don't want to create random ads but perhaps there's ways you can make that work. For example a product you actually use, that you can review or discuss in a way that doesn't detract from your episode? Also product placement... If B&G or Highfield for example want to give you gear, why not?
Thanks very much Adam. Yes maybe if it was a cheese or sailing related sponsor, something that we believed in 🤔. The channel is our only income and and we live on a very strict budget but we anchor everywhere which is free 👊👊. We just do it for the adventure and and been able to share the experience ⛵
Love your stuff lads. Dog bowls are the best dishes to have on a yacht. Used them on a trans Tasman trip years ago. Rough as but we never spilt a drop. Plastic, aluminium or stainless steel doesn't really matter. Don't tip over and don't slide around. All the best. 🐟
We are on the lookout for some dog bowls Richard. Went to Walmart the other day and they wanted $7 per bowl😲, no way. Where's the nearest dollar store 😁
An excellent job lad's... Well done done for the having a litte change of some different sailing in land.. Why not.. And a. Massive respect for the money offered.. And that's wy we love ya blogs..onits. I treat my self to a Cup or shirt. I was unaware that you lads got so litte for sell of the items.. A friend pointed that out.. Anyway fair winds and safe sailing from the Isle of Wight 💪✌️💜⛵🧀🧀⚓🧀
Hey 🖐️. Turned out sailing the Chesapeake Bay was a great idea. We want to keep the channel clean, honest and free from ads much as possible. Yes we get very little profit from the merch. It's just nice to know people are happy they have a slice of us 😁😁
Nice one boys,some crackin' sailing right there. With regards to the adverts; I totally agree with your sentiments regarding doing ads for any old company that pops up, but, if it was for a product that you do or can use, or test out for a company, I certainly don't see any issues with that. Like someone commented below, where are the Welsh cheese companies? Talk about missing a trick. At the end of the day, your decision to not do the VPN ad is respected, but I think you have a loyal crew of followers who would not begrudge you doing a few ads to top up the coffers. All the best boys.
Hey Jack. We certainly did have some crack in sailing. Maybe if it was for a cheese company or or something sailing related then maybe, just maybe but I don't know, maybe not 🤣🤣. We do have a very loyal fanbase it's quite fantastic the support we have
Another great video lads haha like Luke's fishing hat thank you for not doing the VPN rubbish lovely sailing that's what's it's all a bout you put your left leg in and shake it all about hay I've been through some sad times in my life feeling down about life been watching since Wales lovei g the sailing always makes my day 👍👍
Hi Matthew. Luke got his hat in Walmart 🤣🤣. Want to keep the channel as free from adverts as we can, it's all about the sailing. Sorry that you have had sad times. Hopefully we bring a smile to your face 😁
@@TheSailingBrothers haha Walmart not depop lol yer definitely makes my day when It pops up with new video of you guys I'm from Cornwall has been so hot here lately
Never a dull moment for you lads, thunderstorms, lightning and Tornado warnings, enjoyed the sailing footage of Atlas flying along the Chesapeake Bay , great to see you enjoying the ride. hmm £500 for 60 secs is maybe worth reconsidering its a nice addition to Atlas sailing budget im sure viewers can handle it once a week anyway Happy Sails have fun !!
It was the perfect day sailing, really fun fast and a scary bit at the end. Going to stay away from the ads there is too many on UA-cam as it is. We are doing ok on our budget and anchor in everywhere because it's free 😁
Well done lads it puts me right of sailing channels when they start doing those cheesy advertisements half way through I didn’t pay for UA-cam premium to have to watch adverts. Keep up the good work dudes you guys are the real deal and don’t worry the subscribers will come trust me.
Thanks Alan best comment we have read. We are so grateful for 11000 subscribers, we never dreamed of doing this well, we would like more and do wonder why it goes up so slowly.
Love your attitude to advertising, your dead right to take this approach, I watch a lot of sailing channels and just wind on the advertising, to many see their vlogs as a business, which takes the fun out of it , of course I’m not against subscribers helping out , loved your vlogs from the start
That is exactly right David. We want to keep our channel as clean as possible and not full of annoying adverts all the time like all the other saying channels are doing. Anyway onwards and upwards 🙏✌️
Both. I understand the temptation to take money from advertisers. To be honest, I get used to switching off when the adverts arrive and if it was going to help you continue your adventure and sharing it with us I wouldn’t mind. I enjoy your down to earth, realistic commentary and especially the navigation narrative. Thanks and keep it up.
Thanks for the message Hayden ✌️. We are doing ok at the moment. We have a very strict budget we stick to and we never visit a Marina, anchor everywhere it's free, except for the occasional wet dinghy ride to shore 😂🤣. We want to keep the channel as clean as we can ⛵😎
Great sailing through inland America, guys! So glad you dodged a tornado...but that is a right of passage, a feather in your caps of a typical summer day in the U.S. Here we debate which is worse to be in, a hurricane or a tornado. I've leaned towards hurricane because of the ability to evacuate days prior to landfall. Tornadoes give only moments. Fair winds and have fun!!⛵😎🇬🇧🇺🇸
Really enjoyed sailing the Chesapeake Bay I would recommend it to anyone. Since we have been in the US we have experienced lots of thunderstorms. They are very rare in the UK. The tornado warning did scare us 😬
Tornadoes can be pretty much anywhere in the US. Watch for spinning clouds and greenish colored.. They are usually in the eye walls of hurricanes too.. Stay safe guys! 👍👍
Shallow waters, steep breaking waves. Lots of surfing at high speeds with growling waves running up on your stern. Very familiar scenes like my racing days on Lake Erie. Like the race they sent us ashore with no wind then called us out. Ended the race seeing 3 water spouts and winds at the Detroit River Light were clocked at 110 kts. Good on you mates!
We didn't know the wind speeds on the race course because the annemometers on all the boats were blown off of the mast heads so we took the Coast Guard's speed at the lighthouse near where we were sailing. LOL We didn't win 😜
That Bay passage looked rougher than some parts of the Atlantic :D I hope the Tornado was passing by without making any trouble. Always so nice to see you 2 :D
Great video,real not like some doing it just for the ads they get paid for. Keep safe,wear your life savers and harnesses it only takes a second to get washed overboard. Keep safe.
Fair play lads.. Definitely do it if its sailing related as would love to see your honest thoughts on equipment or tech might happen at some point. Atlas was going like a steam train.. See your using my sail again 😂😂😁
Hi fellas, first time comment ,but you might want to try dog bowls, they have rubber on the bottom to stop them sliding around. You can thank Barry (adventures of an old sea dog) for that, that's where I saw it. Take care out there.
Welcome Chris. We have been looking out for some dog bowls. You can get two nice ones in Walmart but they are $7 a piece 🤨. I think we will look for a dollar store 😁. Good old Barry
The shallow conditions, wind against current and long fetch will produce some big waves in the Chesapeake. We have similar conditions here in Long Island Sound. It's now just a week before your US visa expires, I hope that you're only a week away from northern Maine and New Brunswick province in Canada. Sorry we missed your passage through Connecticut. Hope you were treated well here. Catch you next time you pass through our way again. Fair winds!
It all adds up to some incredible sailing ⛵. We will be by checking out of the US in Boston and then making a passage to Nova Scotia. Had a fantastic time sailing down Long Island sound, were treated very well thanks. Hopefully catch up next time Cathy ⛵😁👌
@@TheSailingBrothers I should have expected that you'd be taking a Blue Water route offshore between Boston (a very European city for the States), crossing the Gulf of Maine (not for the feint of heart), and arriving directly at beautiful Nova Scotia. Brilliant plan - but watch for a favorable weather window - safe travels!
HiYa Bros, well what a cracking video 👍👍👍you both can be so comical and naturally amusing. when yer have those little conflabs, which turn into Brotherly gibberish yer go into fits of laughter and I go with you. You would have to go a very long way to beat the quality and content of your "Productions". I love being one of your Viewers 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Maybe in the next "Episode" you could tell us what was causing that engine noise. Maybe mucky fuel or mucky water filter/strainer. Re: the Lightening, in Greece, it's quite common to have 2/3 days of it but strangely NO thunder Weird. Kind Regards Lads, Barnacle Bern SW Wales UK. 😎⛵
Hey Bern. If we weren't sailors then maybe we could be comedians 🤣🤣. I work productions, you make it sound like a television series. It's the same here we get lots of lightning but hardly any thunder. I'm guessing you're still in Greece on holiday? 😎
@@TheSailingBrothers I was trying to add to the bit where Luke said something like “never mind that, let’s get back to our viewers” to which you replied Viewers ?? Your trying to make it sound like the telly, their our friends and followers. Or words to that effect. Watch out for those flies & mosses. Bern 👍👍

If you are after stable bowls with high sides, have a look at the bowls available for pets. We used big plastic dog bowls when we sail in the Irish Sea and it keeps everything inside the bowl and not over you, the table and the floor ;)
We are currently looking at getting some dog bowls. Someone also mentioned tupperware boxes 🤔. I think a visit to the dollar store is in aid 😁
Fantastic video as always. That sea was amazing . I’m glad you didn’t have a tornado. Well done you for turning the advert stuff down x
We had a fantastic sail, really enjoyed it. Didn't realise it could be so good. Can't imagine what it would have been like if a tornado touchdown 😲. Nice to hear of you Snowy Owl ✌️
do not think like it's not for you guys, we all needs and we all are working for it. this is not work for you we all know but that 60 sec we can sacrifice for you guys getting better and right equipment's for your safety. i would be ok to watch 60 sec. and im sure you guys will be natural and not fake for that advertise too. so go for it...
Thank you for your opinion we really do appreciate the feedback. We want to keep the channel free from ads as much as possible and we are doing ok on our budget at the moment as we anchor everywhere and it's free 😁
I appreciate your choice on advertising, although it would not affdect my viewing if you had taken the money. Great sailing again, that and your honest and down to earth attitiude, is what keeps me following.
Thanks for your honest opinion we really appreciate it. It's nice to have a channel that's not full of advertisements ⛵😎
Hi lads, if you're looking for some nice deep bowls, try some stainless steel dog bowls. They'll be great for your type of meals on the high sea's. The videos are getting better now, I'm loving now, stay safe.
We are looking for some stainless steel good value dog balls. Much better than the China ones we are currently using. Thanks for the feedback Hilary 👊
Yes, tornadoes are seen around the Chesapeake Bay especially during the spring & summer months. They also get heavy weathet systems like tropical storms that come up the coast & turn inland. I use to keep my sailboat in Deltaville, Va. We had a horrible storm blow thru one year. Hurricane force winds and extremely high tides. Stay on the watch when NOAA sends out warnings.
Cheers, love your channel. ♡
I can see why you can get bad winds like tropical storms and tornadoes in the Chesapeake very scary as it gets quite hot in the Chesapeake. Hope you're boat didn't get damaged.
Looking good boys. Stay honest, be true to yourself and if you don't want to sell out to advertisers, you get my vote. Nice one.
Thanks we really appreciate that ✌️
Brilliant as always
Cheers Jamie 👌
Don't worry about the prices of your shirts, you're not forcing anyone to buy them. Sailing looked great fun, looking forward to next week's serving!
The merch store is just an option for people 😁😁. The sailing was amazing ⛵
Tough call on the advertising, the money would be handy, but I think you made the right decision.
Looking forward to the next episode, stay safe.
The money would show come in handy but it's not for us ⛵✌️
Thanks for not taking up the advertising idea, for what it’s worth I think you are right it would not suit your style of sailing which is basic good seamanship and not full of all the unnecessary electronic gizmos that many channels seem to be addicted too which are not needed to sail well. Keep up the great work guys and enjoy the voyage.
Want to keep the channel free from Adds if we can Richard, there are way too many on UA-cam. We are about sailing having fun and keeping it real ⛵✌️
Awesome.
Luke 🙏
You’re good sailors lads. Love the channel & if you want to have a little chat about a VPN, do it. We can always FF for a minute & if it gives you guys a couple of extra quid, go for it👍😊
Fair winds Warren
Thanks very much Warren ✌️. Maybe one day if we get a cheese or sailing gear sponsor 😁
Hey boys fantastic sailing and thanks so much for sharing the commercial trap with us, I stopped watching other utubers because they've become actors.
Remember the great lakes are just around the corner love to see you in them
Hi Gail. We want to keep the channel as clean as possible and not fill it with pointless annoying adverts that no one wants to hear about. The Great lakes sound great 🤣🤣😁
@@TheSailingBrothers your always welcomed to come to the great lakes, their is the great loop. Check it out. Thanks so much for sailing to America
Spent holidays along the Chesapeake, including day sails but never appreciated how lively the bay could become.
I think it could be pretty dangerous in a strong Gale with wind over tide 😲
Love it that you refuse the commerciele from the vpn company, and you are right we love to see sailing not adverticements , respect to you .👍👍
Thanks very much Anton. Keeping it real as always ⛵✌️
I’ve seen people using dog bowls for their on passage food? Another fun video, thank you.
We are on the lookout for some decent dog bowls Richard ✌️😁
Well said Luke..
Chaps, great to see your doing well. I have heard because of the design dog bowls being used so your food doesn't spill, just an idea. A question for you both; what are your 3 best places to visit in Wales? Cheers 👍👍
We have been looking in Walmart for dog bowls but they seem overly expensive. Going to try a dollar store 😁. 1- the Gower peninsula, 2- Fresh water West in West Wales and Brecon beacons for hiking
I really do enjoy your videos. Thank you for taking the time and making the effort x
It's our absolute pleasure Fionna ⛵😁✌️
You were flying guys I envy you watch those cyclonic equals but cheers n beers Marty Australia
Hey Marty. Atlas was trying to take off cheers me hearty 😁
Late seeing your post. Nice, thanks for sharing. Years ago I was on Chesapeake Bay! Stay safe.......... from the houseboat on the lakes of the Ozarks, childfree
Thanks Shirley. Chesapeake is lovely I can see why you went there are. Have fun on your houseboat 😎
@@TheSailingBrothers I adore this houseboat. Woohoo.
You guys want large bowls. Sounds weird but dog food bowls are ideal as they are anti slip. Perfect!!
Dog balls seem to be the theme ✌️⛵
Brilliant as always. Merch prices are fine . Advertise if you need to . I always watch the adverts because I like to think I am helping fund your adventure. Videos like yours are better than TV. x
That is really nice of you to say so Christine we really appreciate it, "better than TV"😁✌️. Wish we could lower the merch prices a little but it is what it is
Another great vid lads!! , love your honesty 😎👍🏻
Cheers Ryan ✌️
Nice one! Well done for sticking to your morals and turning down something that you did not believe in. Shows true character and integrity. Like others have said, I'm sure you will get offers that align with your interests and beliefs. Better to hold out than sell out!
When I lived in Cyprus I saw tornados on the coast and at sea, sea spouts, you definitely don't want to be around one of those!
Stay safe and keep doing you.
Hi Pete. We want to keep the channel clean fresh and honest without too many annoying adverts. Maybe it was something like a cheese sponsor or sailing gear 🤔 don't know what we would have done if a tornado touched down in the area 😬✌️
Very Well said Luke 🌟 good for you both! So refreshing! Absolutely Loving your American 🇺🇸 adventures, keep safe, fair winds, new bowls and an abundance of cheese always ⛵️🧀🧀🧀❤️
Thanks Cara. We have absolutely loved the American adventure but it's coming to an end soon as our visa is running out 😭. Canada is calling 😁. And dog bowls
@@TheSailingBrothers haha, I love you two! I hope you can go back to America on the route home maybe? Canada 🇨🇦 is going to be so amazing though, you really will love it! Your journeys make me so happy, thank you so much for sharing them with us all!
My heroes ⛵️🍾✨
Loving the videos, When I go out sailing I find you cant beat good old tupperware boxes for eating out of, if you need to stop and adjust something you can put the lid on your food and know it wont spill out :)
Thanks 👍. That is a really good idea. You have got a stinking now 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😎✌️
My respect you guys to reject the offer..... definitely you are in the right path for what is share the experience....
Keeping the channel as clean as we can Raul ⛵👌
Just brought a sailing brothers mug, I don't think it's expensive, I see it as a contribution to your adventures 👍 keep it up guys can't wait until next episode thanks
Thank you very much Andy really do appreciate that. We hope you enjoy the mug 👍😎
I commend you guys for resisting the temptation to do the ad. But, if Mantus anchors ever calls, take the offer. Their anchors are great!
G. King,
SV Intuition
We have been looking at getting a bow roller and upgrading our anchor as we have the old CQR which is pretty good but doesn't always set in hard sand
Shaving the epic beard... 🤣😂👍👌
Got to trim that beauty 🤣🤣
@@TheSailingBrothers 👍👍
Great video again!! Always look forward to it. My favorite no BS sailing channel. Keep it up guys 😎
We try to keep it real and honest as always 😎
Thanks for being honest about monetising your channel. I think your channel is your primary business asset and you should maximize your asset when possible. I LOVE that you don't want to create random ads but perhaps there's ways you can make that work. For example a product you actually use, that you can review or discuss in a way that doesn't detract from your episode? Also product placement... If B&G or Highfield for example want to give you gear, why not?
Thanks very much Adam. Yes maybe if it was a cheese or sailing related sponsor, something that we believed in 🤔. The channel is our only income and and we live on a very strict budget but we anchor everywhere which is free 👊👊. We just do it for the adventure and and been able to share the experience ⛵
You picked an exciting time of year to sail the Chesapeake! You can't always see the storms coming when the humidity is high. Happy sailing!
There was plenty of them around us. I was tracking them on the lightning map online when I had internet 😲
Great episode! It’s always fun to watch you guys. I don’t think the t-Shirts are overpriced, they are good quality. I love mine 😊
Thanks Petra 😎. We hope the t-shirts lasts a very very long time ⛵😃
Well done guys, your morals are worth much more than money£$£$£! Thanks for another great episode. Go Atlas 8 knots! A
Ps do you know any good VPN suppliers? Lol
Love your stuff lads. Dog bowls are the best dishes to have on a yacht. Used them on a trans Tasman trip years ago. Rough as but we never spilt a drop. Plastic, aluminium or stainless steel doesn't really matter. Don't tip over and don't slide around. All the best. 🐟
We are on the lookout for some dog bowls Richard. Went to Walmart the other day and they wanted $7 per bowl😲, no way. Where's the nearest dollar store 😁
An excellent job lad's... Well done done for the having a litte change of some different sailing in land.. Why not.. And a. Massive respect for the money offered.. And that's wy we love ya blogs..onits. I treat my self to a Cup or shirt. I was unaware that you lads got so litte for sell of the items.. A friend pointed that out.. Anyway fair winds and safe sailing from the Isle of Wight 💪✌️💜⛵🧀🧀⚓🧀
Hey 🖐️. Turned out sailing the Chesapeake Bay was a great idea. We want to keep the channel clean, honest and free from ads much as possible. Yes we get very little profit from the merch. It's just nice to know people are happy they have a slice of us 😁😁
Nice one boys,some crackin' sailing right there. With regards to the adverts; I totally agree with your sentiments regarding doing ads for any old company that pops up, but, if it was for a product that you do or can use, or test out for a company, I certainly don't see any issues with that. Like someone commented below, where are the Welsh cheese companies? Talk about missing a trick. At the end of the day, your decision to not do the VPN ad is respected, but I think you have a loyal crew of followers who would not begrudge you doing a few ads to top up the coffers. All the best boys.
Hey Jack. We certainly did have some crack in sailing. Maybe if it was for a cheese company or or something sailing related then maybe, just maybe but I don't know, maybe not 🤣🤣. We do have a very loyal fanbase it's quite fantastic the support we have
Another great video lads haha like Luke's fishing hat thank you for not doing the VPN rubbish lovely sailing that's what's it's all a bout you put your left leg in and shake it all about hay I've been through some sad times in my life feeling down about life been watching since Wales lovei g the sailing always makes my day 👍👍
Hi Matthew. Luke got his hat in Walmart 🤣🤣. Want to keep the channel as free from adverts as we can, it's all about the sailing. Sorry that you have had sad times. Hopefully we bring a smile to your face 😁
@@TheSailingBrothers haha Walmart not depop lol yer definitely makes my day when It pops up with new video of you guys I'm from Cornwall has been so hot here lately
Never a dull moment for you lads, thunderstorms, lightning and Tornado warnings, enjoyed the sailing footage of Atlas flying along the Chesapeake Bay , great to see you enjoying the ride. hmm £500 for 60 secs is maybe worth reconsidering its a nice addition to Atlas sailing budget im sure viewers can handle it once a week anyway Happy Sails have fun !!
It was the perfect day sailing, really fun fast and a scary bit at the end. Going to stay away from the ads there is too many on UA-cam as it is. We are doing ok on our budget and anchor in everywhere because it's free 😁
Well done lads it puts me right of sailing channels when they start doing those cheesy advertisements half way through I didn’t pay for UA-cam premium to have to watch adverts. Keep up the good work dudes you guys are the real deal and don’t worry the subscribers will come trust me.
Thanks Alan best comment we have read. We are so grateful for 11000 subscribers, we never dreamed of doing this well, we would like more and do wonder why it goes up so slowly.
Love your attitude to advertising, your dead right to take this approach, I watch a lot of sailing channels and just wind on the advertising, to many see their vlogs as a business, which takes the fun out of it , of course I’m not against subscribers helping out , loved your vlogs from the start
That is exactly right David. We want to keep our channel as clean as possible and not full of annoying adverts all the time like all the other saying channels are doing. Anyway onwards and upwards 🙏✌️
Both. I understand the temptation to take money from advertisers. To be honest, I get used to switching off when the adverts arrive and if it was going to help you continue your adventure and sharing it with us I wouldn’t mind.
I enjoy your down to earth, realistic commentary and especially the navigation narrative. Thanks and keep it up.
Thanks for the message Hayden ✌️. We are doing ok at the moment. We have a very strict budget we stick to and we never visit a Marina, anchor everywhere it's free, except for the occasional wet dinghy ride to shore 😂🤣. We want to keep the channel as clean as we can ⛵😎
Cant you give us two videos aweek guys.
Look forward to watching them.
We would like to but it's so much more work, filming, editing, proof watching, rendering and paying for the data to upload to UA-cam 😭
Great sailing through inland America, guys! So glad you dodged a tornado...but that is a right of passage, a feather in your caps of a typical summer day in the U.S. Here we debate which is worse to be in, a hurricane or a tornado. I've leaned towards hurricane because of the ability to evacuate days prior to landfall. Tornadoes give only moments. Fair winds and have fun!!⛵😎🇬🇧🇺🇸
Really enjoyed sailing the Chesapeake Bay I would recommend it to anyone. Since we have been in the US we have experienced lots of thunderstorms. They are very rare in the UK. The tornado warning did scare us 😬
Tornadoes can be pretty much anywhere in the US. Watch for spinning clouds and greenish colored.. They are usually in the eye walls of hurricanes too.. Stay safe guys! 👍👍
Now you're just scaring us! Only kidding 🤣🤣 I will definitely keep an eye on the sky 😎
@@TheSailingBrothers 👍👍
Shallow waters, steep breaking waves. Lots of surfing at high speeds with growling waves running up on your stern.
Very familiar scenes like my racing days on Lake Erie. Like the race they sent us ashore with no wind then called us out. Ended the race seeing 3 water spouts and winds at the Detroit River Light were clocked at 110 kts.
Good on you mates!
3 water spouts and 110 knots 😲. Bloody hell!. Glad we didn't encounter any of that.
We didn't know the wind speeds on the race course because the annemometers on all the boats were blown off of the mast heads so we took the Coast Guard's speed at the lighthouse near where we were sailing.
LOL We didn't win 😜
Big respect guys for turning down that vpn ad. Cheers
Thanks for your comment ✌️
That Bay passage looked rougher than some parts of the Atlantic :D I hope the Tornado was passing by without making any trouble. Always so nice to see you 2 :D
It's got really choppy in the bay but it was really good sailing. Luckily no tornado in sight 😲😎⛵
Great video,real not like some doing it just for the ads they get paid for. Keep safe,wear your life savers and harnesses it only takes a second to get washed overboard. Keep safe.
Thanks Francis ✌️. We are doing it for for the love of sailing not the money 😁. We really should wear our life jackets and harnesses more
Stainless steel dog bowls are the ideal thing for eating out of in rough weather.
Perfect Geoffrey, that's what we are looking to get 👊
Fair play lads.. Definitely do it if its sailing related as would love to see your honest thoughts on equipment or tech might happen at some point. Atlas was going like a steam train.. See your using my sail again 😂😂😁
Thanks James. Maybe if it was he sponsor or sailing gear then 🤔. But there are so many adverts on UA-cam as it is. Always 🤣😁✌️
Hi fellas, first time comment ,but you might want to try dog bowls, they have rubber on the bottom to stop them sliding around. You can thank Barry (adventures of an old sea dog) for that, that's where I saw it. Take care out there.
Welcome Chris. We have been looking out for some dog bowls. You can get two nice ones in Walmart but they are $7 a piece 🤨. I think we will look for a dollar store 😁. Good old Barry
you have my permission for the 60" for the VPN guys :)
I think we will give it a miss 😁
@@TheSailingBrothers for 60 " ? come on, big mistake guys
Great episode, best wishes to you both.
Thanks very much Malcome 🙏
Dog bowls work!!
Dam right
You need some plastic dog bowls lads. Large, deep and don’t fall over! 😃
We had a look in Walmart for dog bowls the other day but they were too expensive. We will try a dollar store 😁
Looked like some amazing sailing. Another great video. Loved the camera angle from the bow looking aft. I really felt like I was onboard.
It was some really exhilarating sailing. We love the way atlas surfs on the waves 🌊😁
The shallow conditions, wind against current and long fetch will produce some big waves in the Chesapeake. We have similar conditions here in Long Island Sound.
It's now just a week before your US visa expires, I hope that you're only a week away from northern Maine and New Brunswick province in Canada.
Sorry we missed your passage through Connecticut. Hope you were treated well here. Catch you next time you pass through our way again. Fair winds!
It all adds up to some incredible sailing ⛵. We will be by checking out of the US in Boston and then making a passage to Nova Scotia. Had a fantastic time sailing down Long Island sound, were treated very well thanks. Hopefully catch up next time Cathy ⛵😁👌
@@TheSailingBrothers I should have expected that you'd be taking a Blue Water route offshore between Boston (a very European city for the States), crossing the Gulf of Maine (not for the feint of heart), and arriving directly at beautiful Nova Scotia.
Brilliant plan - but watch for a favorable weather window - safe travels!
HiYa Bros, well what a cracking video 👍👍👍you both can be so comical and naturally amusing. when yer have those little conflabs, which turn into Brotherly gibberish yer go into fits of laughter and I go with you. You would have to go a very long way to beat the quality and content of your "Productions". I love being one of your Viewers 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Maybe in the next "Episode" you could tell us what was causing that engine noise. Maybe mucky fuel or mucky water filter/strainer. Re: the Lightening, in Greece, it's quite common to have 2/3 days of it but strangely NO thunder Weird.
Kind Regards Lads, Barnacle Bern SW Wales UK. 😎⛵
Hey Bern. If we weren't sailors then maybe we could be comedians 🤣🤣. I work productions, you make it sound like a television series. It's the same here we get lots of lightning but hardly any thunder. I'm guessing you're still in Greece on holiday? 😎
@@TheSailingBrothers I was trying to add to the bit where Luke said something like “never mind that, let’s get back to our viewers” to which you replied Viewers ?? Your trying to make it sound like the telly, their our friends and followers.
Or words to that effect.
Watch out for those flies & mosses. Bern 👍👍
Yes I said viewers as in me Adam 🤣🤣 , oh dear🤭. There's going to be lots of mosquitoes in Canada
Sports Direct should be sponsoring you!
Don't we know it! 😁
Oh.ya delicious!!😂

Another great vid! Literally best watching off the week every week so joined you on patreon so you can stock up on 🧀🧀👍🏼👍🏼 fair winds
Super glad you really enjoy the videos James. We hope you got the welcome message we sent you on patreon ⛵⛵
