1. You did a great job by using the 2 – stoke oil. Any oil would work, but your correct that the low viscosity oil is closer to the fluid in there. Great job! From a retired Mechanical Engineer in Florida. I love you guys. Maybe one day we can meet up. I just closed on my new Prout 38 Catamaran. Old men need a stable platform. LOL

2. FYI viscosity is the resistance to pouring. The higher numbers are higher resistance. So you got it correct. :). Gear oil is typically around 80. automotive between 20-50 depending on temperature. Just find the leak and you are good to go. I do not think it will damage anything.

3. Amazing watching you all across the Atlantic!
   Please watch some training on how to gaff a fish so that you can be more successful and nobody it will get hurt. The short version is that you want it under the water before the fish gets to the boat and then make one smooth pull up into the boat. Enjoy and best luck!

4. olive oil IS vegetable oil 🙂 🙂 🙂 Two stoke oil can be sythetic, and destry your o rings. Will see.

5. Nice pretty fish great colors man maui way up there thats great. Brett no way finding in this video went to day six to see where your at 12 knot winds ahead. Jade your a jewel. Be safe puppers

6. ur sister is soo beautiful😊😊😊

7. Dont put brake fluid in any thing but brakes it dose not mix well with other fluids.

8. Guys I watched the boat restoration every episode. I kinda drifted off with the sailing, I'm sorry I did, this was just lovely to watch, thank you. Looks like heaven to me. The raw fish . . . Not so much 😂 Please keep up the videos, they are great 👍

9. I've always had the ability to 'remote locate' myself, into places I can see into, whether this be watching the otherwise unknown houses I've looked out at from trains I've travelled on, or watching 'live' news reports from faraway places around the World, which I will likely never visit in person, but from which I gain a strong sense of 'what it's like to be there'.

   While I grant, this my be the illusory product of an over-active imagination, I nevertheless experience a distinct qualitative difference between locations seen in movies or TV, and places viewed in, or as close to 'real time' as possible. I do not mean to suggest, I can consciously bilocate, like some unseen psychic spy; more that I experience sometimes weaker, sometimes stronger 'feelings' of 'placeness': the scent and temperature of the air; the sound of wind and waves; and even an almost bodily sense of relative motion, etc.

   This being the case, I am ENORMOUSLY enjoying following your epic journey, in real time, watching your progress on 'PredictWind' and second-guessing your various course and speed changes, from the observed wind patterns. Despite that we will likely never meet (unless you happen to dock in Brighton Marina, just down the road from where I live, in which case, "Hi! I'm Stef."), I have (doubtless in common with many others) become personally familiar, in a totally non-creepy way, I promise, and insofar as this is at all possible, with so 'one-sided' a contact, with you all (dogs, of course, included), & have developed a profound affection for your precious floating World-challenging home, Eva.

   Loving your increasingly braided 'Viking' look (regardless that Vikings didn't spend a great deal of time in bikinis). Apropos of which, I used to participate in a Viking re-enactment society (battling in toughened leather armour & steel helmets, with steel swords and axes, shedding moderate amounts of real blood, in the process) in which context, I once spent two weeks in the Isle of Man, in 1979, funded by the Manx government in the course of their millennial celebrations of their Viking parliament (the Tynwald'); and even volunteered to help crew a (third sized) replica Viking ship, setting out on an ocean voyage (to Denmark, I believe). I was not accepted (as most applicants were not) but did have the chance to look over and step momentarily aboard, the beautiful vessel.

   Confessing my enormous envy for the adventure you are embarked upon, I wish you nothing but the very best on all your travels, with fair winds, and happy landfalls throughout.

   If the BBC ever pays me what they lawfully owe, for their forty-six year criminal arrogation to themselves of my late father's undisputed World famous I.P. 'TARDIS' (of which I am nevertheless, the sole lawful owner, my online portmanteau 'monicker' 'GUITARDIS' deriving from the thereby conjoined facts that I play guitar moderately to occasionally very well, and own the 'TARDIS' acronym/character name), I'll be in the market for my own 'blue water' sailing boat. In anticipation of which, I already checked out (and wandered virtually around) Horta marina, on Google Earth, and look forward to seeing it heave into view from your perspective.

10. Brett, that was a very helpful discussion on your daily power consumption, specifically breaking down how much you’re using, what systems you’re using it on, what solar is replacing, and how often you have to run the genset. My wife and I are saving to replace our dated electrical system in our old girl and trying to work through how much battery, solar, etc. we will need.

11. This crossing series is top notch and fun to watch !! Thank you !!

12. 2:13 Somehow cushion the boom during tack?

13. What are your ages???

14. I used to make two loops in the fishing line, lay one on top of the other to form a clove hitch, then wrap that hitch around a soda can that is slightly crushed. When you have a fish on, the soda can crushes and makes a distinct noise.

    I did that one time on an Atlantic crossing, dropped the lure in, let the line out until it was taut, turned around to go forward and I heard the can crush. My first thought was the can crushed prematurely. Return aft to find it caught a mani-mahi that quickly. I call that my 10-second fish story.

15. Thought about heaving to?

16. Moving Sidewalk, a human conveyor would include escalators, elevators, trains, planes, automobiles & boats.

17. Just imagine being able to hang out in your bikini/swim trunks all day 😃 Sweet!!

18. Thankyou for explaining sailing . I’ve never known , please give us more terminology and explanations .

19. Regarding oils, there are 3 types: 1 Vegetable i.e. brake fluid, caster, canola, safflower 2 Mineral, (hydrocarbon based) i.e. motor oils, (anything designed to go with petrol) and 3 Synthetic oils. Some synthetic oils are compatible with both mineral and vegetable oils. Using the wrong oil can lead to the seals swelling, failing and even melting. It is the seals that determine what type of oil is to be used.

20. A dog eating with chopsticks? Really? Love you guys!

21. Look into bleeding the fish and a Japanese technique called ikejime. It is pretty simple and more humane. Taking the blood and adrenaline out of meat. It will taste much better. Will become high quality sushi meat basically.

22. You two are fantastic as entertainers with these vids. Thank you. Good stories. THAT takes a lot of time and effort to do and a lot of learning.
    These daily ones are good because you have also learning how to talk to the camera. Not much need for clarification voice-overs.
    And learning to sail… that's also not easy. You have done that very well.
    Brett has a natural mechanical ability by the looks of things.
    I haven't watched your re-build vids and don't want to. I've seen way more than enough of that stuff already. However, with you now embarking on actual SAILING!!!
    You have me subbed.
    Do you scuba dive? If not, please get certified because from the vids I have seen, you will make wonderful underwater vids too.
    Cheers.

23. OH! SAFETY!
    I watch many sailing channels. MOST people do not wear life vests on deck as you are doing. PLUS clipping yourselves in. GOOD!
    I cringe every time I see people out on the blue not wearing a life vest and most especially WALKING THE DECK without one or clipping into jack lines.

24. Those are awesome looking chef salads. A full meal in a bowl. Great job Aiyana!

25. Is the boat insured? If so, do you get different riders or policies based on the places you travel?

26. Been following you guys since the beginning. You do a fantastic job in bringing us along on your journeys. I know to do a everyday episode of the crossing is a lot of work and sometimes not much different happens between one day and the other. If I’m being perfectly honest I would like to see more of a blend between how you edited your older and the “raw” productions. At times there’s only so much I can watch of your dogs doing the zooms or your meal making before my interest starts to lessen or I start to drift off.
    Just thinking that altering between the two styles may keep me more engaged. Don’t get me wrong, Love following you guys and thanks for taking us on your adventures!!!

27. I'm a total power nerd lately, but THANKS for the rundown on the power balance and management Bret! For a non-sailor and someone who came originally for the rebuild, that was a lot of fun to hear how the solar, generator, and usage balance out. Stay safe out there!

28. All of you are doing a remarkable job. I love how you all have such a wonderful, upbeat demeanor and very interesting conversations. Whether you are just joking around or talking about planning your daily sailing, it's all great. Aiyana, your food preparation and presentation is very impressive. Stay safe and keep the great content coming.

29. I can confirm the Guatemala meat situation. I was deployed down there like 10 years ago and we got some "ground beef" it was some type of low grade meat, like canner meat or something. When we cooked it it stayed largely pink and had chunks of chipped bone in it still. We all gave it the moniker of Guatemala Fighting Dog burgers, regardless of what we were attempting to make with it.

30. When you are tacking does the boat tend to be pushed “over”. Ie, does the tip of the mast tilt closer to the surface or doesn’t stay perpendicular to the surface of the sea. Thanks in advance and have a safe voyage.

31. The UK is insanely strict about knives! If you go to Britain, do yourselves a favor and don't bring your pocket knife on shore. My mother's ~3 inch pocket knife was confiscated by port security (as "illegal in Britain") even though the captain was willing to allow it aboard. 😢

32. My wife and I enjoy your videos. We watch them religiously early on Saturday mornings over coffee. I appreciated the longer more raw footage you use rather than just 15 min. Over edited stuff that other channels do. Thanks!

33. Love the daily videos. I'm always amazed at how upwind you can sail in a sailboat. My only sailing experience was trying to windsurf in Hawaii. I did great with the wind behind me. Not so much at getting back against the wind.

34. FWIW…mahi can carry parasites. Sushi that you get in a restaurant has been frozen under FDA guidelines. -35 for 15 hours or -4 for I believe at least 5 days. I see it all the time on sailing channels where people eat instant sashimi, but it isn’t very wise to do so. Perhaps the stern spew was related…

35. ❤❤🥰🥰

36. Was that fish ate raw?

37. Have you tried the tack option with the autopilot on?

38. How is it that you don't use a fling over alternator for charging, or build it into your hull. Wind power may as well be driving an alternator, forward movement equals generation. Wind and water combined, how cool would that be?. Don't miss an opportunity. As far as the food in concerned, it looks beautiful, go wash your hands and dig in mate, chopsticks? far too civilised, fingers taste better. Just getting to know you, I liked your video, fair winds.

39. You guys have definitely mastered the art of the thumbnail teaser.
