Nice quality video- minimal shake and pretty crisp! The audio is also very good, especially considering you're SAILING!!! Congrats, enjoy, thanks for taking us along.

Great to see your hard work paying off and both of you out enjoying your boat.

You guys are great. Looks like fun. Again great video.

👏👏👏 so awesome! Thanks for sharing the experience!

Beautiful sail. Glad to see everything worked as planned.

Great Job Guys!!! So glad to see you guys on the water again. I really like your logo and shirts.

It's wonderful to see you guys back on the water under sail. The boat is looking great!

Great job! The boat looks good and you are seeing the reward for all of your hard work.

Thanks for sharing your adventure!

What a beautiful boat...I'm really happy for you.

Got it Katie thank you.🤩

Really enjoying all the videos, you both put in a lot of hard work. Great to watch videos done here at home!

We just watched your channel for the first time, you earnd our subscription . We are Leaving Saint Margarets bay on the 2nd of June Heading for Saint John New Brunswick as first time sailors.. I have lots of boating experience, but not much sailing experience so it should be an adventure.. Looking forward to watch more of your sailing videos keep them coming.. Tim & Amanda

Good job crew, lovin being on the water!

"It's been 5 days"......😂😆😂😆. A very enjoyable video.... Thanks .... I love the humour 😁

Great to see you sailing .... finally HURRAY!!!

Wow, just found you guys and subscribed! My boat is from Mahone Bay :) So happy to see others sailing this beautiful area, I am a Nova Scotia native so I never tire of it! Hope to see more from you guys, Fair Winds and happy cruising! :-)

Impressed by your perseverance and the result, you've really turned this one into a beauty. Looking forward to new adventures, keep up the good work. Greetings from NL.⛵️⚓️

Good luck out there! Fair winds, safe travels

Just ran across this video. Good to see another Hunter owner out there! We have been very happy with our newer Hunter 320. We've done some "serious " sailing in some serious weather and she handled it well. A very comfortable boat as well. Keep up the good work!

Love it.

Really nice video. Great sail.

Looks like fun. Nice to see Atlantic coastal sailing scenes.

Came for the refit stayed for the sailing. So glad to see some more northern channels! We were on Cape Breton Island last year in September and were blown away by the beauty. All I could think about was “wow, I’d like to sail that.” Keep on keepin’ on!

what a great anchorage. Nice job. YOu both put alot of work into this. There is sweet that goes with the bitter.

Loved your channel!!

Looking forward to seeing you both in the Med, some sunny day, good luck David, England

Keep going guys all will come good with more practise

Good on you, guys. You are launched!

Nice!!!

Love the dingy swap comment. I'm gonna use that one someday! Sorry for your sea sickness. As much as I love love love the sexiness of a mono-hull...I have to go CAT!

Congrats on your first over-nighter away from your slip. It looked pretty nice and you made it over and back. Sorry about your linkage issues. It's always something! That hot stew sounded like the perfect dinner after a long voyage. Yummo!

Freaking awesome :) :)... I'm jealous :))

another great video! Thanks :-)

Looks like fun Chad!!

Nicely done guys! Not only did this brief intro show the costs, but also pointed out some very good ways to save cash on materials that work well ... For instance, pex plumbing and alllure flooring from home depot. I just did 3 rooms in my house with Allure, and thought to myself that this would be a great marine product since it doesn't rot and has only a mechanical bond so it won't deteriorate from salt or moisture, and is 100% synthetic. The pex tubing ... it lasts in homes for an estimated 40+ years. again, synthetic so it doesn't rust, and is easy to replace. Thanks for posting guys, you have jut been added to my lst of interesting sailing shows, even more interesting than Vagabond on their 42 foot cat!

Nice video!

Hey Chad, pretty sweet trip, you sure earned it! We're on a parallel course, but in a much smaller Hunter 23.5 You're mastering the boat from bottom up, giving yourselves the best chance for what's to come. That's how we're doing it. So after a few times out now, I know I definitely need a checklist for getting the sails up and down because that's where I make all the mistakes with mainsheet, vang, reef lines, and topping lift. I'll definitely need another one for trim, but that will be next year.

Nice work!

Great channel! I plan on doing some kayaking in chester soon. beautiful.

Great first sail video guys. The boat looks fantastic, such a difference from dealing with all the work in a freezing boat covered in snow to swimming and sun baking. You better be careful you might get a tan🤣😎. Hope the mal de mare is only temporary.

love u guys!!!

I'm new to the channel and a instant fan so i subbed for more from what ive seen so far i like so keep up the good stuff and ill be checking out all ur other vids as well thanks so much

Congratulations! Sounds like you had a wonderful and successful first overnight trip on your boat! Sorry to hear that you got seasick it's happens to the best of us (never me!) LOL! When I was in the Navy years ago my best friend got stationed on the ship while we were in the shipyard for a year. So the first time we went to sea for sea trials after the yard period he was sick from the minute we pulled away from the dock till the minute we got back. He was so severely sick that the Navy offered him a sea-duty waiver which I never heard of before. But he stayed and over came it. A year later, he was never sea sick again a day in his life. So good luck I think the more time you spend at sea the easier it gets!Good luck and can't wait to see the next trip.....girls don't poop???? Yeah! they just explode LOL!

Thumbs up, 👍

Nice vid. Thanks for sharing. Good to see sister ship out. Steve aboard the 1984 Hunter 34 "Persistence" out of Osprey, FL. Sail her down for a visit.

Good ~~~sailing

Delos Tribe ahoy!!

Nice!

Great Job - and I would say a very successful first sail - you will be more expert after each go. I have been sailing for well over 20 years - and a session in the engine compartment while rolling around would definitely have gotten to me. I love - "it can't be one of our videos - no parkers." Keep having fun.

its nice to see someone in the same boat (kind of lol, I had to reinstall my head door recently, I'm learning to cruise my Kenner Privateer 26 around the great lakes before setting out on my adventure to gulf of mexico and eventually Seattle.) Glad I'm not the only one chasing this dream down without massive amounts of disposable income! Keep it up, if our paths ever cross, first beer is on me, fair weather and following seas!

Good sail guys! If the wind dies down next time, but there is still a light breeze, motor sailing slightly off the wind makes the boat smoother and faster so you you have more time to drink more beers at anchor!! (Very important) Cheers!

great video

Once you get some experience plan a trip to Bras Dor Lakes . Made that trip many times , so nice there and a great way to get some offshore experience . Loving your videos , nice to see local channel and scenery. Cheers

Just found this site; great! :)

Welcome to the Hunter 34, an oldie but goodie. - Michael and Suzanne Poulos aboard the 1984 Hunter 34 "Friendship II" out of Wilmette Harbor, Illinois

I enjoy your videos as much as those of Christian Williams, whose videos help me sleep (compliment).You are a more normal version of his poetry. You mention being inspired, yourselves, by SV Delos: I think you're better and much more down to earth. Thank you for that, and thank you for sharing your videos. You are, if nothing else, a relaxing and adventurous glimpse into a reachable dream. Keep sailing and keep posting.

Hey nice vid. A meal at the rope loft will get you a spot at their dock for the night.

A trick i use to combat sea sickness is as soon as i can i go below and as often as i can and when i start to feel the queezieness coming on i tell myself to "stop it, it's just the movement of the boat" but you have to believe it will work and it has every time for me. I little mind over matter goes a long way but if you think you are going to get sick then you will, mind over matter the other way. Know it, believe in what your saying and you can make it go away, sounds stupid but has worked every time for me.

Hi guys like your videos Great lifestyle

You guys are so funny, and courageous! Congrats on the new boat, beautiful. I want to try the stew. Watching the rest I see it wasn't that smooth a sail and I'm sorry you got a little queazy. I hate that. I was a cabin boy and deck hand on a 40" sloop at 16 in San Francisco bay. Loved it and hooked for life. Safe travels you guys loved the video. Tod

Vancouver, BC. My back yard so off. I'm on the Fraser River in New Westminster

That is funny you mention Delos I have been watching delos 4 a couple years

Hi Guys, good to see you enjoying yourself. You put the hard work in now go play. Also like what you said at the 14.26 now you are beginning to be sailor. Also you need to take out the Slack in the headsail, you need to pull it up more. I know it can not always be avoided but try not to stand in the anchor well out with all that anchor line around your feet .

Motoring sucks. We had to cut our 4th of July trip and motor back in a rain storm. Not fun. But the sail up was fantastic! Great to see you both out on the water living your dream.

I like when her hair is down, looks the best

Don't forget the Dramimine!!

Too cold...you can keep it!

Nice shakedown cruise! Always nice to share the experience with a friend. looks like an awesome cruising area up there...looking forward to your next adventure. what are your plans?

Looks great under sail, looked at a hunter horizon 23 before buying mine and they are well built British boats. Didn't really like the small self tacking jib on it but could see the appeal due to the ease of sailing but the sail was so small. Mine is 150% and where most of the sail power comes from.

thumbs up

You have a lot of work to get that boat ship shape.

Wow you guys are pro's now! My 13 yo son and I just got back from sailing from LaHave to Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and Big Tancook Island in our Alberg 30. It was our first time on the ocean - ever - so a bit scary. We made it though. We had an engine issue too when the engine failed to start coming into Big Tancook. We had to pick up a mooring under sail. She started right up the next morning. I think there is a vapour lock problem. Hopefully we will see you out there sometime. Phil

nice

I love your kitties

3:45 it looks like your forestay is blowing in the breeze. Might want to check your rigging out and see if its properly tensioned. Cheers from the left coast.

Dont listen to these hunter bashers. Same as the dock master who told me a hunter couldn't go offshore. Proved him wrong. Took my 28.5 out in 30 knots and 6-8 footers. Went a few miles offshore and returned with no problems. You'll have a great time cruising her!

So, so green (and I don't mean seasick). Enjoy the learning curve.

What the fog is going on, lord I hate that stuff, especially if I’m out at sea. A good radar unit is well worth the cost, one that has a warning system that will sound off if your solo and asleep.

'magine!

Subscribed! You had the pleasure of seeing and feeling what a tippy production boat is like. 34's are fast in light winds but that mast height and high concentration of ballast weight make them a bit uncomfortable.

Thanks for a great sail guys, I can't wait to sail with you both again. Did you get your slip back? How about your mooring in Northwest Arm is it free now?

Another great video - consider installing a 12V socket at the helm - its one of the best things I've added to my Catalina 320MKII - You can then plug in a dual USB charger and charge your phones and tablets while under way (also great if you use Navionics etc.)

currently in quebec but... sambro forever yo! shout out to crystal cresent and the sause boss mishoo!

Shakedown sail is meant to find things that are likely to fail. Well done for fixing problem. Now deliberately really look for more problems. This might save your lives next time. Autopilot is not infallible. Run regularly without it. Love you guys. ROD UK

The anchor ball is supposed to fly in the middle of the fore triangle and not off your cross trees. But at least your using one, most don't seem to bother anymore.

A @GoalZero solar charging system is great for the phones and small electronics! Skal!

To bad you did not swim and film the sunfish under water!! I never knew they where in the north I thought Sunfish where tropical!! Cool video!!

Hey guys! Just found your channel.. amazing stuff!!! We're also from Nova Scotia in Hali. I honestly thought there were no other vloggers here ;) Well there are a few but not too many. Most of our content is elsewhere but I think it would be great to connect at some point. Looking forward to catching up on all your vlogs. - Trevor

Hey. A cure to seasickness, is to take over the helm and steer the boat. Maybe its not a cure, but it helps. Fair winds to you

That Michael guy sounds like an urban legend

I was seriously thinking of getting a boat, but this video talked me out of it. I guess I will just stay here in NYC!

Subbed ... Nice Video

Whatcha gonna do if there's ever some waves while you're out?

nice vlog. which camera do you use? I love the quality of vid.

RIP Freddy Lombardo

What was the final resolution to the prop vibration?

Chicks got moxie

This does not sound as though it would do anything to stave off the queasiness, get some ear plugs, the squishy to fit type but not sound elimination. It does something for the eustation canal and reduces the brain signal to get ill. (Especially when going down below to work on anything.) and they’re cheap so get a handful. Continuing.......
