I want to thank you for several years of taking me along on your straight forward sailing videos. A great match for the morning coffee!!!

Thanks Kevin, beautiful looking part of the world

Gusty sou’westahly, fog, rolling seas, just another day on Buzzards Bay, best sailing in America!

interesting that many of you ''sailors'' never tire .of that life. i was always a day sailor on a cruising sailboat . cruising too boring. . a long time ago their was a 16 yr old that sailed alone around the world on return he was older, his hands were huge. he went to live on a ranch in the middle of the USA . far from the sea. . you did tire of no motor. . enjoy............ we enjoy watching.

I chuckled at the end when you said this day started in the morning... I guess it is all perspective. A tough day of doing something you love is still a tough day, but when it comes to sailing the way you are doing it, you have to push through. Most of us can get up and take a breather, so you bring perspective for me. Thanks Kevin and I have a ton of respect for you.

Lovely to see the sunshine and red sails on deep blue seas!

As always. Thanks for taking us along, Kevin. gary in japan.

I grew up in those waters, literally, I was born at begining of July, and we lived next to the ocean, so my Mom,RIP put me in as an infant, just getting me used to the water, she said I'd wriggled like a madman to get in the water even couple months old. It's funny but when I'm on or in the ocean it's a primitive instinct that draws me, maybe I was a fish previously.

Having an electric sailboat I understand the need of having to go now when the wind says so even if you don't feel like it. You are an inspiration to many, and to me. Thank you.

In this video you're showing me some of my local cruising grounds I haven't gotten to yet.

I've really enjoyed your channel Kevin. I ordered a T Shirt to proudly wear.

counter-currents, chop, wind shifts, fog, 5 gusting 20, sounds about right! Perfect Sound sailing.

Great one, thank you! Sail on!

Sorry I did not know you were in my back yard ,would have liked to catch you. Beautiful area!

Your KZfaq channel is great, especially when I’m stuck on the hard waiting for parts! You take care but keep them coming, I need them now more than ever. From a frustrated James.

Thx for this Kevin, one of my favorite videos you’ve done! I always like seeing the charts with the notes about where you are going and why. Could you leave them up a little longer…easier to look at than hitting pause on the video. Also like the views walking around town and of the harbors. Really gives a sense of what it’s like to sail there.

I just sailed from Vineyard Haven to Hadley’s Harbor to Scituate to Nahant. Off the boat to take a break because the wind was on my nose the entire 3 days except for 3-4 hours on the second day when I got blown into Scituate. This is my first time solo sailing a 21 foot L. Francis Herreshoff Gaff Rigged Cat Yawl. I want to thank the gentleman in Woods Hole who saw me got swamped by the Ferry and said to me “Hey is that a Herreshoff?” And told me he owned a Rozinante and advised me to got to Hadley Harbor for the night. It was a great anchorage. The sailing community has been really helpful…..other than the Ferries….they don’t seem to give a damn.

Tune in to WMVY while on the island!

I didn't make Martha's Vineyard last year, thanks for showing that.

Yes Kevin, adventure and the journey make sailing fun. Great production, keep up the good work Captain.

Enjoyed the video, thanks, Andrew

Love those waters! Thanks for the tour!

Thanks for the video😄

Never assume anything when sailing! Well said.....

Thank you, Kevin. We love your videos.

kevin love your adventures. the other option is quisset easy to get into and protected. Also back side of bassets. cheers

The Quartermaster * Hadlys Harbor is a great spot! The only draw back is everybody else knows that! Your right the inner Harbor is pretty much bullet proof when a storm is coming. Each year we'd either take our summer vacation to Cape Cod one year and "downeast" the next. In the long run Maine won out. Too crowded for us! The "gunkholing" in Maine is spectacular👌. The coastline is overloaded with great anchorages and fantastic scenery!

I have thousands of miles in these waters. As a young man, in the 60s and 70s I sailed Bristols and Pearsons out of Westport Point. In those days, Vineyard Haven was the down scale town on the island. The toney place to be was Edgartown. The fish dock and ferry landing were in Vineyard Haven. It still had a little of the working man’s character left over from it’s roots. I’ve spent many nights at Hadley’s. Take Woods Hole on a fair tide.

You are a great storyteller in your own way, great job as always.

Ahoy Everybody. It’s not the destination its the getting there. Always look forward to these. I think Ruthie got a bit excited seeing the Hereshoff the same colour as she.

Your weather cabin is beginning to show a bit of ware along the edge, maybe a lick of paint will stop the rot. Great post as usual, sailing the rig of my dreams! Thanks!

👍👍👍

The adventures are what keeps us sailing...great footage as always! Was Hadley Harbor busy when you were there...one on my favorite places on the coast....

Never give up on a fair tide in Vineyard Sound!

Buzzards Bay has the town of Marion which has "the School on the Sea" Tabor Academy which has a Nordic built 90-foot steel-hulled square-rigged former pilot schooner named Tabor Boy, a training vessel. Summer of 1972 sailed her for 9 weeks around New England including Maine then on to Bermuda. Sailing gets in the blood - unforgettable. Thanks for videos.

I finally had my mini adventure last summer: NY Harbor to Deer Isle Me in a 32' Pearson. Interesting to see the same spots as you head along your way. Thanks for taking us along.

Man, I am home sick for New England.

Loved the violin music. Was that you playing? Thanks for sharing!

i'm in the area right now, but don't have any way to sail.

Going slow. to the cascos bay .very nice.it gets to bé more f'un in lobster country....canada next?

H-12 1/2s sure are pretty and comfortable to sail in with real sit IN cockpits like bigger boats like yours have. It was the first boat I remember our family having and beginning to learn to sail in as a toddler with my parents showing me what to do. Do you ever go into Narragansett Bay? Or is it too crowded with too many boats and not enough anchorage space there now? There are (used to be) so many anchorages and cute towns and cities with shops all water front or within walking distance with pretty Victorian and even colonial waterfront homes from the 1600 and 1700s to sail in front of and of course the Newport Mansions - many of which are also water front you can see sailing along the east coast of Aquidneck Island where Newport is . Nearby there's, Jamestown, Wickford, Bristol - where the Herreshoff Marine Museum is also located. There are the non- touristy towns farther north the closer you get to Providence.

Thank You So Much. I Really enjoy your videos while I’m living in Clown World.

Thanks Captain Kevin for sharing your wonderful adventures. This is absolutely not a criticism but for us that don't know where you are it'd be great with a little chart insert (you done it in this vid) when you're talking about these wonderful places. I do a google map search too but not as good.. Anyway thanks again. Fair winds to you.! Warren s/y Legend

You make the BEST sailing videos I've ever seen. They are original, classic in a good way, reminds me of the good old days....new youtube sailing videos are all about modern effects, drama and more drama but not yours.....Keep up the great work. I have subscribed! :) By the way, how much does a boat like yours cost? Do you suggest to buy something as old as yours or something way newer? I'm new to sailing.

Your classic understatement. "Vineyard Haven upscale tourist town." Playground of billionaires.

It just occurred to me: Ruth Avery is missing a ship's cat 😹

Thanks yet again for another great sailing vid. I do wonder how you deal with having no bimini. I understand it can be a problem offshore. Can I ask for your advice, I am currently refitting.

Oh yas. Adventures are everything.... But then again ...anything for a quiet life. Love your engineless progress. Aspired to such myself ...in another life. You don't want to be married. How did you avoid that particular honey pot?

Thanks for showing the charts! I ended up pulling my copy of Marthas Vineyard to Block Island to see the route more clearly. I am not familiar with east coast sailing, being based in SF, CA, so this may be a dumb question, but why didnt you go from Vineyard Haven to Hadley harbor directly via Woods Hole?

6:05 So is that dark line the middle ground? Or something else? Looks like a lovely place!

Who’s playing the fiddle, that’s pretty clean.

Have you done a video that includes what your reefing system entails? I'm a gaffer and always looking for a better way. My water is many reefing territory and I'd like to know how other do.

I am curious how often you are stopped and searched by the Coast Guard?

💃 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙢

What kind of boat are you sailing?

hiya i'm noob, what nav system do you use?
