Chris - recently found your chanel, been working through & loving the back catalogue! Are you doing any training or ocean racing crewing oportunities for the keen but relatively inexperienced in the future?

Hi Chris, great to see these videos of you bringing Spirit back up from Antigua. I also stopped in Bermuda when I took her down to Antigua for the Caribbean 600 race you and I did together with AJ and Viv. I just want to give a sincere shoutout to Steve & Suzanne Hollis of Ocean Sails in St. George's. They are really wonderful people and Steve went way above & beyond in helping me source replacement batteries when the lithium iron phosphates became problematic (the BCU kept shutting everything down and dead-shipping the vessel). Steve also tidied-up the solent batten pockets and bolt-rope with which we had some issues. Anyone needing high quality work on sails and canvass whilst in Bermuda should call Ocean Sails. You might recall me telling you what a fast and furious time my mate Tony & I had sailing between Salem and Bermuda. Top speed was 23 knots and we covered 308nm in a 24 hour period. 560 in 48 hours. After all these years, as Spirit was built in 1990, she is still a fantastic boat to sail shorthanded and never felt out of control at higher speeds. But she is very wet and the saltwater firehose at those speeds made our eyes literally feel like they were bleeding. The little autopilot just couldn't handle the 25-35 kt broad reaching conditions, which was the other consideration (along with the battery problems) that made us want to diverted to St. George's. Thanks for reminding my how much fun we've had on Spirit. I look forward to sailing with you again soon! Cheers, Pete

We need more video's from you. So anything goes

Yes I’d like to hear you interview rout other boats and crews because I’m sure you’d ask very discerning questions.

Love to see your stories with interacting with others!

Oh hell yes do it ,

I’m really enjoying your adventure keep up the good work… I’ve followed that boat for years it’s great to see it still out there.

Visiting other boats and hearing their stories would be amazing!

Not many people with over 300k ocean miles... so ya, any conversation you have with other sailors is something I'd love to hear!!!

My first two trips to Bermuda I spent a total of 3 hours before either sailing out or flying out after sailing in. On the 3rd trip I got to spend a few days enjoying the island and some of the sights. The cave tour is a fun thing to do that I would recommend.

One more thing you don’t need to ask , just go do and film then show us what you enjoy and find , we are already on board ha ha

Yes, Boat tours please. Thank you!

Go for it

I would love to see you go and see how cruisers sail , how they set up their boat , their systems and crew training and compare it with your racing experience, is there anything you can learn and is there anything you can teach to cruisers.

Hey Chris! I was just watching some of your older videos... i was just wondering about heaving to on a race boat. Or, what to do if you need a flat boat in rough weather???

Like wise, id be interested to hear your conversations with other sailers and especially crusers.

Mate I too am an x outward bound instructor and also a sailor at the other end of the spectrum then you I'm doing up and old 90s race boat for cruising if you ever wanted to make a podcast or a video where you talk to someone with less experience so that I could ask you questions maybe other people wouldn't think about I'd be in

Where'd you go mate? what ab't the GSC? Sorry you never made it.

Any updates on your future sailing plans!!!

Always interested in other peoples boats..

where can we find your services ?
