Navigați cu valuri mari într-o barcă cu pânze de 28 de picioare
(having fun at your expense) Isn't the answer, "We need a bigger boat!"
Nice job y’all!!
Great video and glad you’re safe. It was scary to watch!
I also want to know how you feel now about sailing and did it take any of the fun out. You seem like cautious people who plan a lot. In hindsight now what would you do differently and what did you fail to anticipate? As a novice sailor I’m hoping to learn from what you went through as I can’t imagine what I’d have done in your shoes. You both kept it together and carried on.
I think you're gonna need a bigger boat 😊
I don't think that 28 footer is big enough to handle the size of your balls lol! Impressive feat in a coastal cruiser, uncomfortability and all.
Wow, that looked very scary. When I go sailing, I am white knuckling it all the way and then I watch my footage and it looks so calm and easy. Knowing this, you two had a wild ride, for sure! Rename the channel to Survival in Paradise!! Haha.
It Soucks to get knocked down by a wave. It will happen a lot though and it looks like you can deal with it pretty well. My Catalina 30 has a really wide companionway so if it gets a wave it fills fast. Pretty much too fast to stop. So we run with the hatch boards in if we can….at least one or two boards. You obviously know to just close it up even if it is a little hot during rough weather, and you are tethered in which is a good safety thing. I put a recessing D-ring with a backing plate on the side of my locker as a tether point. You really want an inboard tether and inboard down the centerline jack lines. Otherwise you run the risk of falling over and being dragged. I've also put a waterproof usb jack on the pedestal. Our radios also have those coiled wire things that tether objects attached to the pedestal and tablets. We keep three tablets up all with different mapping technologies, and at least two different zoom levels. One close and one farther off. Usually something the same on the last one. You see the issue is on the maps is that one company might know something another doesn't. A good example is obstructions. Also the zoom level can be a killer, as you can't see issues because they don't appear at certain zoom levels. You can buy tablets that will do the job with waterproof cases for as low as $50. The tablets are typically much more handy than a chartplotter especially if they can integrate with an autopilot for instance. Usually they can't but, you get the picture. It sounds like you have a Raymarine autopilot as it sounds like mine, or at least a similar brand.
Oh invest in some Man OverBoard devices so you can go around and pick your partner up if the can. The AIS kind and the PLB kind.
I think you guys handled this like pros and are a bit too hard on yourselves. Godspeed!
Sorry to hear about your phone and radio. Any chance insurance can help with the replacement cost since you "lost" your it? Glad to know you make it safe back home. That will be an adventure story for the books.
Good job you guys it is beautiful to see what the little boat can do.
Can I suggest a few things? If you haven't got one,get a third reef in your main. In those conditions try dropping your main and sailing on headsail alone, you can furl and unfurl easier and sometimes better to be pulled along by headsail than pushed by main. Have a paper chart and plot your course every couple of hrs or at least write your positions in a notebook. If for some reason you lose electronics at least you know where you are. Too late now, but never leave anything loose in the cockpit you're not prepared to lose.
Baptized by Poseidon himself, your a sailor now. Very good video, you must have spent hours in post-production. Thanks for sharing
I really enjoy your channel. You and your wife should be proud….weathering boisterous offshore seas that most coastal sailors will never encounter. Your little O'Day 28 and her likeable crew deserve a toast! I look forward to many more videos. CHEERS!
I’m sure others have said it, but has this experience (that y’all handled like bosses, btw!) got you two thinking about a true blue water boat?
After owning a O'Day 272 and O'Day 28 I'll would take my bristol 27 in those sailing conditions anyday but I shore like to have that interior back lol my O'Day wouldn't leak till it flexed in sea similar
What an adventure! This series deserves millions of views. Some of the best sailing I've seen in a while.
Agreed, you guys ate bad ass !
Are bad ass
Hell yeah, you guys finally did some goddamn sailing! Welcome to the wet spreader club. So what trawlers are you guys going to be looking at in the next episode? 😀
I just got seasick!!!!!
You guys did just fine. I'm humbled by your toughness.
You have to sail with your companion way boards in, that's how boats go down
Good job, won't be that bad next time. That gulf stream can be tough.
Dude, you gotta close the companionway hatch. In bad weather, sinkings happen when hatches are open and lazarettes are not clipped shut in a knock down. You’re lucky not to have sunk.
You both did amazing, crying is definitely ok! I have a Paceship26 very similar. Wanderingstar has a windvane self steering, (I haven’t steered in years).She also has a new 4 man offshore life raft, Epirb, and the best harness/ life vest, and tether money can buy. The main wants to round the boat up in those conditions. A little jib poled out will help balance, or just the jib and no main. Rigging the pole before should be as easy as putting in a reef. Sail to the waves not the destination. Good luck in the future I really felt for you.
Death defying episode, sailing aboard an ODAY 28 in the Gulf of Mexico under reefed main, Force 6 weather conditions. A must see adventure of to relatively novice sails taking on the thrill of a lifetime. Thankyou so much for sharing, we hope your Insurance may help with the loss.
