Going from Bahamas to the Caribbean is like saying youre going to travel from Kenya to Africa.

Distant Shores TV - 5 years ago

Most sources agree the Bahamas are in the Atlantic Ocean and not officially in the Caribbean Sea. We have always subscribed to that theory.

MrGentlebutfirm - 5 years ago

Your boat is new, and you are changing batteries already! Did you mistreat the original battery bank or did it just fail on you for no apparent reason?

I would love seeing your 12-day provisioning list. I always get something out of the way others provision their vessels for lengthy passages.

thanks for taking the time to explain concepts you present in good detail (i.e beam, etc)

Barbara Mcdonald - 5 years ago

It was wonderful sailing with you hope I don’t miss any trips with you guys . Thanks for sharing .

Zeki - 5 years ago

Can you tell me if it would be possible while running downwind in heavy winds and seas, with an in mast furling system, to pull in the boom and furl the main sail? I know you should head up into wind but I'm thinking in heavy seas that might not be possible. so how would you reduce sail area?

Wayward Films - 6 years ago

Hey Great informative show! I'm producing a video documenting the transport of a Pirate Ship "Devil's Gauntlet" from Stockton CA to Roatan Island. Any advice on camera angles, tips on timelapse, GoPros? Ever do any drone shots?

What is beam sailing?

Distant Shores TV - 6 years ago

I mean sailing with the wind blowing on the side of the boat instead of from the front or back. Sailing with the wind on the beam is usually the fastest a sailboat will go.

The Stimpy - 6 years ago

Can't wait for my chance to get a boat and sail the islands!

CHRIS198490 - 6 years ago

nice boat thinking of sailing in near future what boat you recommend for blue water under 100k and what size why you did not buy catamaran ? also why not aluminium boat ? GRP is weak when whale will hit you or you hit reef safety no 1

Hi Guys, I follow The other big sailing Channels, And I'm gonna say it. You film much better than all of them, Even Delos. So really appreciate all the different camera views, setups. And the Narration is so profession, WOW. Can't wait for the new boat also. Brilliant stuff !

Joseph Johnston - 6 years ago

Does the weed ever pose a problem....fouling the rudder(s), for example?

bill hanna - 7 years ago

don't you just love it when the plan comes together ,Once had a sail from NZ to Tonga 6 days & didn't touch a sheet, auto all the way 15 to 25 just arft of the beam..enjoy. I used 'wind direct'

bill hanna - 7 years ago

had a brain freeze Predictwind not wind direct,rums getting to me .

Distant Shores TV - 7 years ago

We've been using Predictwind and receiving the data for it while at sea using the IridiumGO - so we can get updates 2 days out and on longer ocean crossings... check out our blog on that here...
https://distantshores.ca/boatblog_files/predictwind-weather-routing-forecasting-review.php

bill hanna - 7 years ago

Yes ,used it for some time , found them to be very accurate, still 2 days out your on your own so what ever comes , comes and ones just got to deal with it. The hardest sailing iv found is coastal deliveries , every thing can change so quick & of coarse you have those hard things called rocks ,Ocean sailing really is mush nicer , relaxed once you get into the rhythm of watches, cooking & reading. All ways been impressed with your yacht ,shallow draft, well protected cockpit & excellent workmanship . I'm afraid the price has all-ways kept me to Bennys & jenneaus witch are ok as long as you reef early, not pleasant banging to windward in 30 kts still we shouldn't be doing that at my age. Follow the wind, pleasant sailing.

Distant Shores TV - 7 years ago

Sounds like a great passage Bill. I haven't heard of "wind direct". Is it a weather routing service?

GodIsAlive! - 7 years ago

Where are you from guys in Canada? and by the way your website doesn't work

Paul Hitchings - 7 years ago

Is there a device a sailor can wear that will alert the crew should they fall off? The most scary part to me would be falling off while at the beginning of your watch and having the other crew member wake up 3 hours later to find an empty boat...

Rykehuss - 6 years ago

Yes there are several different types of Man Over Board alarm systems that work automatically, and are attached to the PFD. Also everyone with half a brain will tether themselves to the boat at night watches, and in stormy weather day and night.

Ryder Steves - 7 years ago

What a nice vid, the ship seems almost indestructible, I,m learning a lot of things with your vids, besides they are very entertaining, I don't know if my English gets any sense, but anyway thank you very much from Gijón, Asturias,Spain

Joséalse - 7 years ago

I am sure that you will love the northern coast of Spain, you can make fantastic navigations and see small beautiful ports like: Luarca, Cudillero, Foz, Ribadesella, Llanes, Ribadeo, etc., etc. I think you will like it very much, you will always be Welcome to Spain, I wish you the best and that you have good winds.
Greetings from Gijón,Asturias.

Nice video guys! I have to tell you the contagious nature of your show on AWE inspired Judi and I to purchase a Pearson 40 on Lake Texoma. We are going full circle. As newlyweds 41 years ago we lived on a small boat in Florida. Now the kids are grown and on their own, so we are like newlyweds again! We plan on trucking "Slithy Tove" to Florida soon, on to the Bahamas... and maybe beyond. Thank you again for the inspiration... for lighting the fire! I hope we cross paths someday!

Richard Collins - 7 years ago

Great video, thanks for sharing. How do you access the internet, I assume you need to be on sure to do that?

Distant Shores TV - 7 years ago

We use Iridium Go for (slow) internet access for weather and email while offshore http://www.distantshores.ca/boatblog_files/iridiumgo-review-for-cruising-sailors.php

Ted Hernandez - 7 years ago

Fantastic video! Thank you Distant shores TV. I'm retired now still at the young age of 66. In good shape too. Was thinking of sailing the Caribe as my first venture to those southern shores. Hopefully I can get over the idea of seasickness. Did the Hudson canyon on a fishing trip twice, way back. Not a happy camper. Most of the crew were sick.(Partying the night before) No wonder. However I stayed aboard the boat and watched TV. Hence yours truly was the proverbial "Capt. Bligh". Tho we had a ball out there. Power boating is ok. However I'm told that sailing is quite the experience. I hope to try it some day soon. Thanks again for this wonderful vid.

Ian H - 7 years ago

Great video Paul and Sheryl I love your books and video series and have been a fan for many many years now. I noticed you didn't release the clutch when you were sheeting in the genoa is it designed that way? I put on Ronstan, but I had to release them in order to winch. What make do you use?
Regards, Ian

Ours are Spinlock. they can be left closed while winching... Glad you liked the video :-)

Jennifer Adamek - 7 years ago

Hi guys, nice video and I have to say you guys are well one of the originals and THE BEST!! When did you guys get another boat and what kind if you dont mind me asking? I love the videos!! Happy Sails and Safe Winds!!

Distant Shores TV - 7 years ago

Hi Jennifer, Soon I'll post more details on DSIII :-)
The Haber looks interesting - sort of like a Fisher but with the addition of centreboard and dropping mast!!! Would be amazing in the Med with access to the canals ... we made a lot of programs on the Med back in our early Seasons 1-5 with our first boat. DVDs and downloads available here http://www.distantshores.ca/sailingdvds/catalog/
Some of the early Southerlies were somewhat similar to the Haber like the Southerly 105 or 115 (37 ft).
It depends on what your planned cruising grounds are ... from Long island sound you can enjoy sailing down to the Bahamas by the excellent ICW :-)

Jennifer Adamek - 7 years ago

Good Morning guys, is DSIII a Southerly? Me and my boyfriend are getting into the cruising seen as well, we are looking for a pilothouse, we were looking at the Haber Pilothouse 34C4, they just like DSII has a lifting keel, and that is something that we are really interested in, where we can beach the boat in the sands. I am affraid I have to say with the bulb keels.. I do have to say the Southerly's are actually very nice as well. My boyfriend was thinking of a cat, but as you mentioned in the link added about the new boat talking about your hypothesis about the cats, yes I feel two motors and in heavy seas I feel the size cat he wants is not that great.. I think a single engine and monohull is excellent for traveling up and down the Atlantic and across the pond. But I have to say the Med and the canals is where we want to go in 2017, and possibly the Great Loop next year as well. Just a thought, have you guys ever thought or maybe do you have plans on going westward like Pacific Ocean way in the distant future? Like I said you guys are THE ORIGINALS!! LOVE YOU TWO!! And besides even though I live in Long Island Sound and and hour from the Hudson (near Poughkeepsie, NY as well) ocean or river I Love boating and you guys just offer more of the "GET TO KNOW BOATING" scene, and you make it very informative where others well it's just recording vlogs which is ok too.. Where can I purchase your DVD's?? Thank You again for getting back to me.. Happy Sailing and Safe Winds guys!! Take care and have a great day!

Robert Kowalski - 7 years ago

Hi guys hope you made it okay. Look I don't mean to be rude or mean but do you have much sailing experience? It's just I'm about 5.5 minutes into this video saw your knot and wind displays then the shot of your trim was there a time, and wind change? If not might I suggest watching some videos on reaching and sail trim.

Distant Shores TV - 7 years ago

Thanks for your comments. We have over 100,000 sea miles and 7 Atlantic crossings over 28 years voyaging. Perhaps you got confused with the editing of the film, it is difficult to document the procedure while also sailing just 2-handed.

Buena Vista - 7 years ago

Awesome!,,

Roszain Claassen - 7 years ago

What food is concerned, do you's also take a very good measure of frozen pre-cooked meals with? And how about an onboard desalinationer [hope I spelled that correct] instead of tanking up on fresh water every time at a stop?

Thanks for the upload :)

Roszain Claassen - 7 years ago

Thank you! Warm South African regards :)

Distant Shores TV - 7 years ago

We do bring our trash ashore at our destination. We have very rarely had a problem with this. Cheers

Roszain Claassen - 7 years ago

Thank you for such an informative website! :) One last thing...what do you guys do with your garbage/rubbish after a sailing trip? Surely not all small ports favour the idea of every ship docking there dump their trash there also?

Distant Shores TV - 7 years ago

Glad you enjoyed it Roszain! We do take frozen food but do not depend on it in case the freezer failed. Here is our webpage on Provisioning http://www.distantshores.ca/news_files/category-provisioning.html

Distant Shores II carries 545 litres of water so we didn't install a desalinator, but we will have one on the next boat!

We have a rule on long crossings. You don't leave the safety of the cockpit unless someone else is in the cocpit. You are always tethered at night, regardless of the weather conditions.

What software are you testing? I imagine you need your boat's polar and it overlays it with the gribs coming in to calculate the best course?

what is that wing under water called?

o0bananaman0o - 7 years ago

wings under water are called foils, they increase the righting moment to leeward of the centre of lateral resistance. DSS made foils for the 100 foot supermaxi Wild Oats XI and some of the vendee globe IMOCA 60s use proprietary foil technology to achieve boat speed in excess of 30knts

Wilfred Darr - 7 years ago

zrRyan2 Thanks I would have said wing keel because of how it looked on the wide angle lens on the camera, it looks like it would be, but after reading your comment, and looking again, you are absolutely right!

zrRyan2 - 7 years ago

All Southerly yachts have twin rudders, which are set a long way off centre and canted outwards about 15 degrees or so... what you are seeing is one of these rudders, viewed from the top, peering down into the water.
