Great video!!! Most sailing channels focus so much on the diving and the destination. It's so much more enjoyable to see what you're doing on a passage. Weather, sail handling, talking safe and common sense strategies .... etc, make me want to come back for more. I'm glad I ran into your channel this morning! I'd love to learn more about how each of your sails handle different conditions.

Stumbled upon your channel, loving the mix of planning, analysis, diy info, stats and music trivia. :) Love Morrissey! Please keep up the great work. Your weather insight and explanations are fantastic. So glad I found you guys. Safe travels to Maine.

Nice to see the PFDs being worn on a cat. So few peeps on cats seem to do so.

The fantastic thing about YouTube is there are so many great channels, featuring a variety of interesting content. Please don't think you are boring your viewers with rich, technical content! I think you add so much value because of your background and I look forward to learning from your future videos!

Great video! It's nice to see sailors sailing (and what's really involved) rather than creating sailing videos based on entertainment value. Keep up the informative work!

Nick ... Awesome video mate. Loved the simple, articulate explanations. Really educational - more of the ‘boring weather talk’ please. Thanks again mate.
