Well it's easy to see you are a natural at suffering but I wouldn't take Roxy just yet. Have fun and be safe.

The Bruce Brown movie called Endless Summer is funny because they go to Tahiti to find surf, and everyone keeps telling them “There’s no surf in Tahiti!”. Of course, it’s mostly out around the barrier reef, and a few spots where the prevailing swell can break through the reef and make it to shore, but it’s pretty hilarious to look back on now that the Olympic surfing is being held there.

Coffee with Sweet Ruca. Oh yea. Good to see Curtis being able to enjoy some fun too. Love Kate's teaching lessons in her narration of these videos. Friendly people and smiles everywhere. Keep having fun and stay safe. Bill

If you sail to Western Samoa be sure to go to open air market and of course Aggie Greys. Sail on!!!

You go girl!!! 🤟 Thanks for sharing this beautiful wave in Tahiti, and your fun adventures on the island ! The Tuna looked amazing 😋🩷🩵

Awesome! So cool you got to see the Olympic Surfing spot!

Beautiful🎉🎉😂😂

👏👏❤️❤️👍👍

Just watched women's heats yesterday, July 27th... or was it the 28th in Tahiti? Never watched Olympic surfing before. It was rather wild at times. Thanks for this vid. Always wonderful.

How old is your dog?

Love hearing all the encouragement - sympatico!

It's the tropics! Rain like fog!! Sail on!

I love your boat so much, it's so beautiful!

In Australia we pronounce Atoll as … “At toll”. Love your videos.

It takes some serious courage to do what you do. Stay safe. May God be with you on your journey.

I’ll be the person inside

Hey that’s awesome you are living on the water and sailing. Todd, Newfoundland

Deep down inside, are you really enjoying the journey?

Corriendo el temporal por las aletas

I love getting all the salt off the boat!

You guys need to visit Bora Bora . I've been 2x. Most beautiful tropical place in the world. The Pacific is known for huge waves.you'rethere in time for olympic surfing.

What breed of dog do you have?

There are lots of sailors on youtube who do interesting things. But there are sailors and then there are SAILORS as you two obviously are. The caveat in your comments above is important. Trips of this level of difficulty require a welll outfitted boat, an experienced crew and even then events come up that intensely test the boat and the crew.

Lots of really sweet moments shown ... I especially liked the bread making in a seaway scene ... one nice one piece! Sorry about your bad Hair Day Curtis ... catch you next time?

This being your 70th "long" video I feel this ASMR is a justified moment of reflection. Great idea.

You guys are the best find the best sailing couple on UA-cam. You guys just do it right all the way down to personal flotation devices.

The boat looked like it handled being pulled along by the bow just fine , a bit like sailing a catboat the only issue is the keel never locks in and lifts so it a bit of a rocking horse side to side.

Everything yall do is spectacular. Keep having fun and stay safe. Bill

That is a beautiful sail

What an accomplishment, congratulations. Hoping to cross the Horn myself one day, but that depends on where my job takes me.

67% of your videos - excluding the shorts - now have been played and for 95% watched ;) Great sailing by great sailors. You're making excellent choices at this point in the journey as to redundancy and spare parts (still, I personally, probably would have thrown in a Hydrovane. Yes, some visual clutter, but such a great tool. And the only kind permitted in some of the single-handed around the world races. But you know that already.) I probably would have replaced the working kit by the new arrivals as a way to make sure it all works and store my own working ones as spares. Or is that what you did and I missed here? And as I am here back from the future, knowing what lies ahead, I have to add that a Hydrovane would not have sent you into jibe or tack because of some sensor issue, but a UFO might have ripped it into pieces - I don;t know what and how it can handle such collisions. Oh, do you have an opinion on echo-location (sonar) devices that can e.g. show you where fish are (100 ft ahead and maybe even 300 ft in other directions where they paint a picture of what is out there)? The frequency range these work in must be far above what, say, whales and dolphins/orca can hear. I tend to think that a forward looking depth sounder might be able to warn you of UFOs.

Love your sailing photography, the set up, content and execution is very professional. The narration is concise making the videos enjoyable to watch. Many other utube sailing channels could pick up some pointers from you.

Please this comment is provided purely at your request for feedback on running square with two headsails> Guys - just a thing - when you are flying sails off a pole ( particularly, really good sails as you have) the most destructive thing you can do is not properly suspend the pole - with a topper and a kicker. leech curl ultimately destroys a sail, headsails specifically that is. by allowing the pole to bounce as the sail loads and unloads - will only increase the rate with which the sail wears and stretches the leech. (essentially the difference in static load vs dynamic shock loading)

Dutch!

Light air I'd wing out the main with vang and preventer and poll out the jib.

Please install some soft deck and netting for your magnificent dog. 😊

Thanks!

I’m always amazed that you guys fly the spinnaker at all with just the two of you. Takes guts

Try main and jib -port and Starboard.

Brave,very brave.Excellent video of rounding the horn👍

Well Ya Hoo, Roxy the Sea Dog!!!

Why fly a spinnaker when there’s risk of a squall?

Hi from sunny England, just watching your journey to tahiti the very best thing about your video is the feel good factor you send to us daydreamers just starting on our own new adventure keep yours going 😊😊

Beautiful

Keep on YouTubing for Sailing rather than Sailing for YouTubing!

Wie warm??

Hey guys was just watching this after running across it and wanted to tell you an observation at 12:35-39 minutes/seconds into video the shot of your life raft as you’re filming to stern, it appears to not be secured completely into its holders please double check it! You wouldn’t want to loose it if n rough seas then need it or have the expense of replacing it! It looks like it’s slipping down and out of the binder. Otherwise nice you’re experimenting with different sails etc! French Polynesia is a beautiful place to sail but you need a year to see it all lol! Your dog is beautiful but very very uncomfortable without full length deep cushion under it on the bench in cockpit ! Get some 4-6 inch foam and a nice sheepskin cover for it that zips on and off for washing it’ll keep her/him cool and cushion his/her elbows!! And tip on the bread not rising, wheats that way but wrap it in a dish cloth on the counter instead of leaving it in the pot with a lid !! Great job on the sail out of the pass! DDW sailing is the best lol but yes can be total chop!!

you have to get the earring now!!!! Awesome teamwork.

Nice soundtrack. Love the mix of footage and music. Perfect for the dream coming true of sailing and arriving in Tahiti. Hope the play hard on the island will fill you with great memories.

So nice to see how y’all are enjoying those new places and gathering together with new people, sharing meals and life. Good people attract good people. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
