1. HAVE A NICE REST !

2. Great vessel and very interesting videos. Bravo

3. Congrats. Enjoy your time in the Canaries. What is leaking in the bilge? Good on ‘ya Grand Large for the first class service, Awen deserves it with their commitment and goal of showing in Miami for sure.

4. I admire all of you. I made two trips back in the 80's from Tampa Florida to Panama city Florida. One 62 hours and one 45 hours on old boats with hand steering. I can't sleep on anything moving it seems. I will never do that again without an auto pilot. Just two of us on each trip. I got so tired i swear the clouds on the horizon looked like trees and even looked green. Never slept a wink on either trip. I might be able to afford a boat like yours some day but it will just be a very expensive day sailor. Thanks for all you do to share with us. They don't make sailboats like toyotas. I have 4 of them from 2003 to 2019 and i have not spent much more than 1000$ all of them together. They seldom ever break. I would love have a sailboat engineered like that. Never happen.

5. Really enjoyed it! Thanks for taking us along.

6. Weather is always only predicted not guaranteed great Vlog thank you very enjoyable

7. 😊

8. Congratulations on completing your first leg of the passage!🎉 You two did a wonderful job with the daily vlogs. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

9. One thing is the relatively mild swell surfing Stephane was doing on the day of the steering failure. So a cotter pin sheared off or fell out and the pin was bent while being dislodged? That seems very unusual and beefing that up with plenty of replacement parts on hand is essential. As you guys know, big ocean swells are really large and can be fun for Multihulls. It is scary at first but once you get into a groove, and as long as the sea state isn't confused it's a hoot. My guess is Stephane has the surfing bug and he will be riding the wild surf. 🙂

   A live video session would be great!👍

10. Thank you so so much for sharing your journey! Leg 1 Wrap awesome!
    Yes please do a live session!
    Quick question on the tiller steering with the broken or bent pin. Did you have full functionality at the tiller or was it impaired as well?
    I'm very curious about how having these two different systems may create redundancy for safety. Thank you so much again!

11. Top ! Tres content pour vous. Toujours autant interessant. Merci à vous deux.

12. Hi Guys,
    Congratulations
    I have a few questions:
    1. What is the weather model for the Med you said was the best?
    2. Was there any discussion with Outremer about the need to gimble the oven and stove top?
    3. I prefer the electric cooktop to gas for several reasons (e.g. safety, cant refill gas in the middle of the Atlantic) but many many cruisers still use gas. Was there any discussion on Awen or with Outremer about gas versus electric?

13. I’m really enjoying this concept of the daily passage updates, now made possible by that amazing Starlink technology. As a keen sailor wanting to the same as you both with my wife (also a slightly nervous crew😅) Outremer is definitely on my short list of boats, so this makes it even more interesting. Hope you continue this on the next leg, good luck to you both.

14. Thank you Holly & Stephane for your reports on what happened during your Med crossing Gilbraltar and the details of your technical data. It's very interesting to get to know some of the issues you had to deal with, the wind conditions, the lost steering and the gear shifter. Happy to hear you had the best service from Outremer shipping new spare parts and crew next week for your boat, that's perfect !
    Good to know that Keith from Zatara confirmed the technical problem, and was supporting you early in the morning in the Canaries. What a shake down ! Hopefuly, you can relax over the sunshine for a few days….visting the area and nice beaches. Looking forward to see also how it goes with the spanish people in the Canaries prior to leg 2…..

15. Thank you so much for letting us ride along. It was fantastic. YES please a live stream. Any footage of the pin issue would be good to see. You guys rock.

16. Enjoyed the series, just shows what can go wrong with a new boat. Thank you for showing it's not always plain sailing

17. Excellent series, Thanks heaps for all the detail and humanity!

18. Thank you so much for these daily videos🙏. I appreciate your humility, which is a great sailing quality (there are so many people who explain that it would be better to do things differently…). You make a great team (and couple🙂) and your sharing is invaluable!

19. We love to follow your adventure and
    ,as a couple
    , we are thinking about the same kind of experience. If we are not mistaken, Holly, you mentioned about books you read that helped you to prepare yourself, may I ask which were these books and what was your préfère one? Enjoy your break in Canaria islands!

20. Great video series. Looking forward to your atlantic crossing!

21. Hi
    Thanks for the videos, interesting for me because we have the 52n03 and I'll check the steering better if you make videos.
    Sorry for my English we are French 😅.
    Good winds and enjoy your trip.
    Thanks a lot.
    Marie and Martial

22. many thanks for the feedback. wish you a good rest in the Canaries

23. Awesome recap! Live session sounds great.

24. Love the content and humility. Raw and real for all of us planning our adventures in your footsteps. Yes live session would be perfect. Would love it!

25. Jeez you think you spend the kind of money to buy outremer and you have a steering failure.

26. I guess Fontaine Pajot would have said your warranty finished as soon as you left LaRochelle!
