Im so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for feedback. Really helps me shaping the next ones 🙌

Really appreciate your comment thank you ❤️

We try to just roll with it, we don’t know any better 😄

Well said

Many thanks! Making these videos are a lot of fun!

We are mostly safe but slow sailors, no rush. Slowing down and enjoying the moment is the way for me :)

That’s wonderful to hear ❤️

Thank you, glad you like it ❤️

Thank you! Our boat doesn’t really feel that small but it’s probably matter of perspective 😄

Correct! Thanks for watching :)

🤘🤘 hello to you too from Caribbean ❤️

Glad to hear!

Welcome to our channel! thank you so much! Barbardos was really fun! it always surprises me that complete strangers are watching and commenting on my videos, its really awesome i appreciate that

Hello Latcho! I’m pleased to hear that you like our style 🙏

Thank you ❤️

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😁

Thank you 😊

Ow yes thank you! Wish i had the right fishing equipment for the grassy areas. Only catched grass sadly heheh 😅

That’s good to know. Glad you liked it. Hope I did contribute to your research. In the end you just have to stop thinking and throw the lines and sail in to the blue 💨⛵️

Thank you! Its so encouraging to get comments 🙌

We respect the sea and the sea gods 🫡 ❤️ would love to sail in New Zealand at one point ⛵️

@@sailingfishcake I'd love to see you both exploring the Bay of islands.

Thank you! We’re so happy for this trip ❤️ Luckily we live in different times and can be peaceful 😁

@@sailingfishcake Then trade it is...

Thank you! Its very fun to share. How can we not be positive right? 😁 Just checked out your channel, looks like you also preparing for a big journey. Wish you luck and hope to meet you on the sea one day❤️🙌

@@sailingfishcake I would enjoy meeting you all as well. I'll be sailing Satori in the Pacific Northwest for a few more years then off to the Pacific Islands 😁 . Have a wonderful journey!

Thanks! Oh man, I didn’t even know what tripes was. It was absolutely horrible 🤣

Nope. Nope nope nope.🤣

besides it was inedible for my case, it was quite fun to give it a try 🤣

So glad you liked it! It was mostly plain sailing indeed. I guess we did some stuff right and a bit luck also contributed to our safe journey 😁

@@sailingfishcake It was a lot more impressive than just getting 'some' stuff right + luck! Not sure Finn Möller expected you guys to be cruising leisurely across the Atlantic in his Alo 96 nearly 40 years later! I think he probably imagined that everyone would turn East into the Med rather than West across the Atlantic for 3000 miles when he originally designed them! Although I did read somewhere that it narrowly qualifies for Ocean racing because it has such a good CSF (Capsize Screening Formula) rating of 1.95. Fishcake definitely impressed me... outstanding yacht! You guys should be proud of yourselves too of course... even more outstanding achievement! Crack on and much luck with your intrepid channel! Enjoy paradise too! That gargantuan Pacific Ocean appears well within your sights now! Hoohar! Crack on!

@@Artiz... what a nice, interesting comment! You’ve really done some serious research about this boat and the builder. Very impressive! The boat really feels quite stable and we love it. I can’t really compare to other boats as I haven’t really tried many other boats. Again, thank you for your interesting comment ❤️🙌

@@sailingfishcake Lovely reply thanks back!

@@sailingfishcake Twice no less 😉

Thank you so much!

Hello and thanks! We actually did run the Genoa sheet through the eye in the beginning but it always creeped backwards and got close to breaking. We found this way works better, at least here. I never really took any sailing lessons or sailed with other people yet (which probably shows) so I still have tons to learn. It would definitely handle more. But im very happy we didn’t push the rig too much in the Atlantic because (spoiler alert) we ripped the lower port stay the other day… 😐 Thanks for the advice! 🙌

Thank you! Motivates me even more to do these videos :D

@@sailingfishcake in my opinion you have the editing spot on , plus you a great couple and really captivating couple ,and inspirational . So looking forward to future adventures you have planned.

@@ThomasDoubting5 Thats amazing to hear! Still not used to getting views and comments from complete strangers heheh. I think i re-edited it at least 3-4 times and tweaked it endlessly. Had lots of time anyway during the crossing so edited it as we went. Otherwise my phone wouldnt be able to handle it anyway hahah :D I will keep uploading as i go. Its really fun :D

@@sailingfishcake did you edit them on your phone ? . Anyway may the seas be kind and the winds be favourable .

@@ThomasDoubting5 all the filming and the editing is done on the phone. It’s a base model iPhone 11. Wish I had the newer ones but this one is sufficient enough

Thank you ❤️ a boat is never cheap but I bought this one for 9500 euros 2.5 years ago and upgraded it for around 5-6000 euros 💸💸💸

Thanks ❤️

We’re also very thankful that everything worked mostly. Everything seemed fine before we left.

I’m sure it tastes better NOT out of a can 😅

It’s never gonna be comfy but people have also crossed oceans in much smaller vessels. Same Holmes sailed a 24 footer to Hawaii, which was a great inspiration for me! Hope it works out and you get to explore the world! 🙌🙌

That is super interesting! I might make a short in between episode to try to make that one. Thank you so much 🙌

Thanks! Batteries are actually quite a bit higher than the bilge in the back. The floor boards would be floating before bilge water would reach them. But unfortunately, the water came through the rudder into that water tight compartment where the batteries were 🥲

We got sooo tired in the legs so fast! We had to re-train our walking muscles 😅

If I only knew what tripe was beforehand… it was a funny learning experience though 😅

And it was a true “delicacy”… 😅

@@sailingfishcake 🤣

We learned that after the trip 🙌

Tusen takk! Helt fantastisk her 😁

Konserve olunca olmuyor valla 🤮😆

They are. Otherwise i wouldn’t do that :)

Thanks! Teşekkürler 🙌

Takk 🙌❤️

Ja riktig. Thanks! I dont miss the cold yet back home 😄

No Mahi Mahi for me unfortunately :(

Selamlarrr, hosgeldiniz dediler nerdeyse :D

We couldn’t under sail since the waves pushed the water up all the time. Once we arrived, we waited until it was dry so I could fiberglass around it.

Thats what it was! Thank you 🙌😁

Sailed around 100 nm average each day. We coulda sailed faster but didn’t wanted to push the rig too much

After anchoring at Bridgetown, we simply walked to the customs office which is placed by the cruise ship terminal. Checking in is free. You fill some forms which goes quite fast and then you get a supercool stamp and that’s it. Checking out costs 50US :)

@@sailingfishcake thanks very much , heading that way in December from the Uk in my Nic 32

It’s a Norwegian built Alo 96 from 1982 :)

Thanks 🙏 it is all strapped down and won’t move anywhere. Probably wasn’t visible in the video

I’m showing the reality here. It is not easy to keep it that tidy in the Atlantic in a small ish boat😅

I know right? Yt took it down after some days sadly 😆
