1. Where are you guys now? Piriápolis? Montevideo?

2. Was that shackle off the clew or the tack?

3. Great video guys, very interesting about the illegals out there, stay safe on your journey south, All the best, Al

4. I definitely give big thumbs up for that night sailing in strange rough waters while dodging criminal fishermen 👍

5. I know I might have mentioned this before but my name is Kurt. Don’t find too many of Kurt’s / Curtis around.

6. Safe sailing ❤️

7. Tack to gooseneck, clew to outhaul…

8. Had the scare of my life off East cape N island NZ when a bloody great fishing boat came within 50 meters on me Of course its 30 Kts , Big rollers & Solo – Thought i was a mate of his ??? No radio just come over to check up I found out later .

9. Chinese ruining natural resources.. Sink their illegal ships.

10. I get seasick in the bath but your channel is very interesting.
    Roxy is so cute!

11. You guys are great sailors and make first rate videos but you sure can't cook. But who cares??? Very funny.

12. Kurtis and Kate,

    Thank y'all for sharing.
    Cheers!

    Fair Winds and Blue Skies.

    Faithfully,

    James

13. Y’all need siphon hose with a valve you can buy them for like $10 for emptying the jerrycans into the main tank.❤ I hate adding fuel to the main tank at sea it is a game changer.

14. Warm and dry at home in Amsterdam, but your illegal fishermen are still making me angry; a little. Where is a friendly missile cruiser when you need a little help with law breakers?😆

15. Good that you were keeping an eye out. Never put 100% on a chart, paper or digital. Depth at 125' ..lol..submarine or ufo is under you.

16. Within sight on a dark night and no response, then thrown in their bearing is on a collision course with you….enough for me to go lights off and assume pirates. change my bearing and take the inconvenience for what it is. Pirates carry firepower to reach you at a distance to stop you.

17. The southern seas will keep you on your toes.

18. WOW Sailor,👍

19. Do you still have those expedition membrane sails? How are they lasting? How old are they? How many miles? Any mould/mildew issues.

20. Wouldn't that be the tack at the gooseneck?

21. He has no clue about the Clew. The broken shackle was on the mains’l TACK, not the clew.

22. Thought the clew was at the aft end and cringle at the bulls horn.
    But the fix is the same…..

    Fishing boats…..there are many clewless skippers around the world.

23. It's almost as if they were deliberately menacing……well done for evading them.

24. Hey sailing friends! Thanks for watching. We know some of you watch to learn, and at 9:38, Curtis made a mistake when talking about the mainsail shackles. He was repairing the Tack at the gooseneck (front of the sail), not the Clew which is at the end of the boom (back of the sail).

    Why this happened? We don't have a clue why ;-), but likely because of too much fried balogna, excessive instant coffee consumption, and lack of sleep.

    We usually edit incorrect things out, but sometimes because of the time we have to edit these videos we do miss some things. We are glad that you guys/gals are so knowledgable and watch so closely, impressive!!!

25. Fishing boat encounters….. not sure if they still do it but back in the 90's, we did a delivery from Puckett, Thailand to California and had some weird encounters with fishing boats playing "chicken" with us. They would come right at you, lights or no lights at night of course, and at the last second, veer away. You never knew which way they would bear off so you just had to stand on! The object of this maneuver was to cast their "bad fishing luck" off on you! We started bringing an extra pair of shorts to the wheelhouse for night watches!

26. WOW the first American I ever saw drink instant coffee lol I swear to god if an American ever climbed Mt Everest! in the backpack would be a 400AH lithium battery & a coffee machine lmao

27. If those boats are engaged in fishing with nets out! you must bear away!! pass behind them and allow for long nets.

28. the worlds people are beginning to hate americans. The current illegal regime is doing irreparable damage globally. The world loved trump. The world now hates us. Tey are not illegals. They are pissed off people lashing out at americans.

29. mmmm maybe do some swatting of maritime regulations. You may find out that you were the hazard and not the fishing boats. Sailboats generally don't have the right of way at sea against commercial vessels over a certain tonnage. Around New Zealand a skipper has to be very alert as fishing boats sometimes lay a hull at night with all crew asleep and all lights off.
    Keep well clear of any other vessel at sea especially working vessels as they may not be in a position to avoid you.

30. If their fishing net gets your keel , you go under.

31. Another thing you can do is to use the fog horn. As a sailing vessel you have a different and more pronounced set of sound combinations that in my opinion would scare illegals away. Blasting that horn over and over lets everyone know who you are. Most VHF radios have a fog horn combination that can be utilized to repeat the signals over and over. You will need to add on a hailer speaker but its worth it, and you can also use the radio as a hailer.

32. Just FYI, it's fairly common even in US Waters for fishermen to turn off and on their AIS. This is because they don't want other competitors to know where their key fishing spots are. And if they were illegals and perceived you were government officials they would have turned off all their AIS'es completely.

    Perhaps many of us would like to learn more about your sailing vessel and the makes and models of special equipment you have on board.

    Thanks and best wishes!
