As someone has already said, “..... that was a sailing video”. One of the best I have seen! Keep safe.

Really cool night shots, with the wind howling. That gives the viewer a first person view of true conditions. Great video

I loved this video. I was particularly struck by the reality of a northerly crossing at 29:00. Ben is off camera and Nicki is describing her life in the rear cabin. While she is talking I look up at all the nice artwork on the bulkhead and realize that this is their home. They are sailing their home around and the loose items are telling a story of the rising and falling of the swell and less than a meter from the back of her head is the sea, with all those steep waves. But their little ship is keeping them safe, holding them close and carrying them east. It has a poetry to it, when one is sitting in the comfort of a chair watching it all unfold. Thanks for sharing.

What it must be like without the moonlight to reveal those monsters...know they were even bigger than they look and they look really big! Nice capture.

How exciting those seas are looking!

Still one of the best sailing videos. Going to miss watching them.

Again a very good episode. You guys need to get back on the water making more videos like this... 😊

Rolla Coasta ...rock'n rolla.. sailing a horse across the water

WOW! Another fantastic video. I love the fact that you don't cover up the sound of the wind and waves with music.

You two are the best. Across the spectrum you two best exemplify how it should be done. Hope you continue to come out on top, sincerely.

My favourite couple , I've been waiting for this leg for what seems like ages, superb and bloody inspirational.

Please update your blog and post another vid fast, I’m hanging on worried sick about my new favorite adventuring couples safety. I found you two a few weeks ago and you’ve become a great part of my life following your adventures and admiring your teamwork. Good luck!

What a great story and video of a really put together couple who sail the boat in a totally professional manner

Omg be safe you guys.... you are a couple of fearless sailors

What a fantastic video. Really gives a good impression of what you are going through. Well done! Great info from the planning stage too. Like it. Will watch more. Well done on the cooking in such difficult conditions. Galley needs a ‘bum strap’

Its always said that a camera doesn't do a waves size justice but often from a Cabin Port Light where you are at near sea level you can get a good idea of their height.

Now that's proper sailing. Bravo.

WOW what another great video, please let us more often see how much wind knots is and how you’ re sail are rigged, rifs and so on. Love all you’ re vids. Can’t wait for the next one.

Great vid. Looked like quite the rough trip so far. Looking forward to your next one.

got worried about you both tonight...hope all is well...looking forward to / anticipating your next video...no pressure...again, hope all is well...

You guys are really taking a beating with this storm. Hope it gets better soon. 👍👍👍❤️

Good luck, guys. Great real vídeo !!!

Fantastic video. 30 pus knots and only one reef... you're making good progress., and you make it look easy. Flip flops and no life jackets, that's the advantage of a nice safe enclosed cockpit and good planning. A lot of boats would be slamming badly under these conditions but yours is taking it in it's stride. Traditional keel shapes work, and no sea sickness!

" What are you doing Ben"? I am so intrigued by that opening line! Have a lovely time , and be safe!

Toilette paper too in the survival bag.

well done guys looks like a hard sail

Excellent provisioning and grab bags, and a great video.

What's on the menu today Elizabeth? Looks like all is well, and that Captain Ben has the vessel shipshape!

Absolutely in awe of you two. It’s always worse than forecast 😩 Stay safe.

Have safe sailboat ⛵️ sailing Atlantic Ocean crossing ! 😀 ⛵️ 😘 Mike from Missouri

I like listening to your safety ideas. I was told that my backup needs a backup up plan so I rigged three coolers with some emergency provisions tied together and ready to toss overboard in case I sunk. My lifeline was attached to them so if I fell over I had enough to eat and drink until the sharks or Coast Guard showed up. It will be at least a year before I am back on the water. You are a good teacher

This was great, I can't wait for part 2. Please release it soon. Thanks 4 sharing you two:-))))

Great vid. The night shots were absolutely great!

Brilliant video , first time watching you guys will be glued in to your next video. Fair Winds stay safe

Great sailing and photography, which is better than quite a few other sailing sites who potter around the Bahamas etc. You guys and Free Range Sailing and Ran are my top three 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Great show. I like when you show the gauges and tell us what sails are up and how you’re running. Also whats on the Mizen too. The lack of music is fantastic as the boat sounds are much more entertaining. I also like the vids of the boat sailing with no commentary. . That said your on camera bits are informative and interesting. Two very photogenic people just being themselves. I am nearing 70 and my health sucks. Sailing along with you guys is like a giant elixir.

It is a lovley peace of floating and i absolutly love your three afts portholes in your aft cabin. Absolutly lovley, to be a single hull that is.

Another superb episode. Definitely prefer quality vs quantity but I wish you guys could post slightly more often 😀

wow guys

Ingenious chair. Hurry to apply for a patent application before somebody else does. :)

haha...this video is SO good I had to watch twice to take it all in... you both do sailing videos right by (somehow) editing down all this into a 30 min video that really takes one into the REALITY of sailing... I'm learning so much and enjoying every minute!!

An experienced old salt suggests eat your food out of cheap stainless steel dog bowls when on a passage. Very stable on the table or your lap! Nice hammock chair on the helm. Oh at night you should have red cockpit lights on!

I love your yacht and the way you prepare and that was an excellent video! Look forward to the next one ! Thankyou

Is it wrong to be excited to see a video on KZfaq? Outstanding as usual, my best from Canada!

Great sailing ⛵️ sailboat video, plus all safety equipment, etc! All water and diesel fuel ⛽️! Plus all food supplies onboard! 😃⛵️😘 Mike from Missouri

What are you doing in there Ben? That just cracks me up!

Wow, good work folks, great start to an eventful voyage. Looks like you thought of everything and some :) I hope the rest goes a little smoother for you but from what I remember of the sailing I did with the wife - way back. The worst times are the ones you remember the best and look back and smile at. I am sure you were a little apprehensive being left to the whim of the weather. Guess my butt would pucker at that too. Look forward to the next Vid on how you conquer the North Atlantic and shared it with us. Good luck troops

Excellent video guys. Ant & Cid x

Finally..good to see you guys again!

Good to see you both back at sea.

I’m still here July 2021, rewatching, best sailing videos in my opinion. I wonder what they are doing now?

ZBeen thinking of you both. Lovely video, well done.

Best ocean footage by far thank you it must have been a mental challenge to film in those conditions. Also thanks for reinforcing my resolve to add a permanent hard dodger/pilothouse.

Brilliant vid! Loved watching your preparations, grab bags etc. See you managed to find all the lumpy bits! I remember watching this bit on your predict wind, thinking, this will be "challenging " :)

I have found the approximate position of the Corner Seamount, as follows:- Latitude 35 degrees 22 Minutes North - Longitude 51 degrees 21 minutes West.

Started with sun, provisioning and a gentle cruise. Ended with an injured deckie and a shot of Mother Natures power. Epic upload NB: Please advise crew member the stern is not too wide. :)

Thanks for sharing. Great footage as ever.

Great Stuff! Looking forward to the rest of the trip!

Hi folks, I would love to see an episode about instruments and electronics that actually work. I am impressed by the stuff on Bora Bora.

Fantastic episode can’t wait fir the next 😀😀😀😀

WOW what a sail

You guys are amazing.

Top team, well done guys xx

I was just thinking about you two yesterday! Your channel was my favorite, you’re so smart, tenacious, funny, adorable and sensible! I was just about to thank you both on Facebook for taking us with you on your journey then...here you are...so strange! I just about got sea sick watching that, you’ve obviously made it but what a horrendous tumble of a time! Fantastic job on the grab bag, I think you’ve thought of everything. Ben, wonderful job on that alarm too, good thinking! Looking forward to the next video, how exciting! Hope you’re in a wonderful spot now, you’ve been the absolute best!!! Nena California

totally amazing,best watch,talk about bottle.!

There is one very important thing missing from your ditch bag that could save your life fire starter is huge for any ditch bag

Excellent vid ya'll, looked fun out there....lol.

Bloody hell mates!!😔 Hopefully weather will get sorted soon!!🙏

Tense and exciting!

😫that’s looking really uncomfortable. Hopefully it gets better. Stay safe you two.

Awesome video guys. Well done.

ye solid vid... hope you guys are all good..

Hi guys, just discovered your channel. Reaally enjoyed it! And love your boat, I´m looking for a 40"ish liveaboard cruising yacht myself and this has very much of the things I´m looking for in a boat. Ready for some bingewatching this weekend:-)

Ye are so BRAVE....those waves !

I used to sail. I remember cursing the Gulf Stream. It was like it was an animal that had grabbed me by the ankles and was dragging me away. Purple mounds.

Well done .... 👍🏻👍🏻

Seems like your adventures are about..or have ended. Enjoyed you guys... Always great sailing footage.

Great Show so Far But when you Have some Down time Please Polish the Brass on the Boat Like the Bell ECT

brutal...wow

Good on you

That looked absolutely brutal and cannot wait to see the next episode. Your preparation was awesome!!!

Those turbulent seas are Ok during the day..... but not at night!

Safe passage guys

Love your Vids

I liked this video. New sub. from Norway. Fair winds ,,,/),,,,

hope everything is in order?! looking forward to the next episode!

Now that was a sailing video. Things happen. Be safe looking forward to the next one. Thank you

This made me nervous!

I beg your pardon Elizabeth should be Nikki! My mistake!

I’ve watched waves crash over the bow on an aircraft carrier USS Ranger going through a cyclone. We had 21 chains per F-14 tied to the steel flight deck. We were off the coast of Taiwan going through a cyclone on the way to Desert Storm Dec 1990 USN 89-95 VF-1 Wolfpack. I hate to ask this but have y’all been hit by a rogue wave? That thirty minutes just flew by it’s almost like a movie and hate it when it ends! Thank you for sharing such an amazing odyssey back to England. If the AIS alarm goes off do y’all turn the motor on and bring the sails down or is there not enough time to bring the sails down? I can’t imagine a supertanker doing 23 knots in that sea state heading directly for you and having to avoid a collision. Do y’all avoid the shipping lanes entirely or can you? Sorry, I’m just trying to put myself on the boat while watching since I spent a lot of time on the ocean in a bit larger boat. We love and will be heartbroken if y’all retire from the channel it’s by far the best! Liz&Matt Houston, TX.🇺🇸🇬🇧⛵️⚓️🍺🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Amazing how you risk sailing that small boat on those seas..

Great video 👍 I don’t know why but you two remind me of Tom and Barbra Good from the Good Life on British TV. Living on the water rather than on off the land. Are you going to work through the British winter and head off again into the blue yonder?

its great

watch out for lorenzo, its expected to it us here in the azores next week..

You 2 are awesome. Very inspirational... When are you doing the Pacific Ocean and heading to New Zealand?

How about a VHS radio in case you have to communicate with aircraft/ BOAT, spare batteries.

Are you sure about that depth over the corner sea mounts? I though it was 800 to 900 meters at the shallowest?

Some proper sporty conditions there. Wind against current with those wind speeds would have been a nightmare instead of a bit uncomfortable. How did the wind vane manage on keeping your course?

I'm from Newport. Hope you enjoyed the city by the sea. The harbor was empty- this must have been in May or June?

Great video- safe travels! Novice question: Most sailing ships have a dingy boat incase capsizing main vessel or worse. Most practice emergencies in calm waters. If the main 40’ boat was compromised in terrible weather what actually is a tiny dingy going to do in exact terrible water conditions? Again, my guess is it’s better than being in water but can it remain afloat?
