Awesome video! Lots of stuff you wouldn’t think of that you should do in far off parts of the world. Thanks for the tips on fresh water!

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Thanks TES, for the nice comment.

Mr. E - 5 years ago

I like your videos. The mix of sailing, tips (water testing and chemicals to do so) and short shots of your location is great. For some reason the vast majority of sailing videos do not talk about cost of checking in and out of countries, dock fees and other expenses not specifically related to the boat. Boat expenses depend too much on boat age, size, condition and just how bristol the owner wishes to keep her. Thanks for the videos, no drama, just sailing.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

This is Rebecca. I am writing an article about that as we speak...it’s just so hard to do in a video since a camera in officials face is not the way to make friends and influence people in many countries ;) Be sure to subscribe at http://www.WhereIsBrickHouse.com to be notified when it it released.

Kia E. Gardner - 5 years ago

Great video as always.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Thank you Kia. Your comments are always welcome. I am just now finishing up the next video in this African coastal series of 3. We are mulling when to put it up. Possibly not this coming Friday but the following Friday to start a 3 week schedule. It is getting to be too time consuming to put up a video every 2 weeks and soon we will be hauled out of the water which would add to the time investment needed. We will see.

Laszlo Laszlo - 5 years ago

Thank You for Your videos, Unique and valuable content.

The Mariner - 5 years ago

Great content as always Patrick- knowledgeable & safe- what more could anyone want from a skipper? :)
As a fellow sailing YT creator your videos are a constant inspiration. Safe Sailing! CSM

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

The Mariner, Thanks for the very nice comment and I wish the best success for your channel.

How to Sail Oceans - 5 years ago

I take it the present anchorage is not well protected, so you have to put to sea even with the possibility of getting walloped. I trust you made it somewhere safe by now, fair winds in any case.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Hi...This is Rebecca. Not sure which anchorage you are looking at...but one of them along the way...I think it’s on the video we are editing now, was so unsafe that we left In the middle of the storm! But we are fine!

Clinton Coleman - 5 years ago

1st video to the latest video hands down most real and informative videos on true cruising. Keep it up! Thanks

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Thank you, Clinton, for the very nice compliment.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

You know, renaming is a good idea. Any suggestions?

Dario Vega - 5 years ago

Great videos and very informative! Great to hear about your travels as well. You make others with the dream of sailing take the plunge and go for it! After much research I’m deciding on purchasing a Catalina 30 ft. Question for you. As far as marina fees goes is it that much more expensive to dock a 30 ft boat versus a let’s say a 25 or 27 ft boat on a slip? (Catalina sailboat) If not much of a difference I would take the 30 ft..Love the spaciousness of the 30 footers. Thank you for ur opinion and advice! Keep up the videos !

Dario Vega - 5 years ago

Patrick Childress Sailing Patrick, thank you for your advice!

Dario Vega - 5 years ago

Patrick Childress Sailing thank you very much for your advice! Keep them videos coming. Very informative!

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

This is Rebecca. I know when I went from my 27 to my 36...only 9 feet difference but everything twice as expensive :) The Dock 25% more due to length 25% more...but haul out more because heavier and longer, and the longer the boat, the more money people feel you have for everything else. If you are on a budget...the smaller and simpler you go, the boat will cost less, and everything else will cost less too ;) 27-30 shouldn’t be too big of a difference though!

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Many marinas charge accdording to a bracket of boat lengths so there would be little to no difference for a couple of feet in the shorter lengths. Just keep it below 39'. Go with the 30, that is placial compared to the C-27 especially if you expect another person to stay happy on your boat. I lived on a C-27 for 5 years and crossed many oceans on it. Just be sure to stay in the proper latitudes at the right time of year and keep up on the maintneance.

Returning to sailing after decades being landlocked in Alberta. I will take much with me to Nova Scotia and my C&C 39, all thanks to your very informative videos. You provide a wealth of information so generously. Thank you both.

Richard Jones - 5 years ago

+Robin C Hi Robin, my first sailing season will be quite experimental, to ascertain my physical abilities in handling the boat. If it's a fail, then I will need to sell her. Please stay in touch. If you wish to take a holiday in Cape Breton, please contact me and be my guest on the C&C 39.

Robin C - 5 years ago

Hi Richard, I am in Toronto, Ontario. I own a c&c 35 mark II. I have the 39 on my bucket list, so if you are ever interested in selling, do let me know. Thanks.

milo isnothingprivateanymore - 5 years ago

chloride? that is not very smart to drink.. you chould use colloidal silver, cheap and healthy..

milo isnothingprivateanymore - 5 years ago

+Patrick Childress Sailing "Sodium Hypochlorite is the main ingredient in laundry bleach. It is used extensively as a bleaching agent in the textile, in detergents"
im tryied to help you, u should thank me and defintly not follow FDAs recomendations because they follow pharmas intrests and uses thier own bias studies as guidelines, its a fact.. its like beliving that the waponindustry wants peace.. anyway I should not waist my time- but i do have to correct u, because you are very wrong. and if agry is true, one person would have to drink silver directly from the bottle everyday for many years, and thats not what im saying u should do, you just put som small amount into your drinkingwater, or better yet buy some shugnite if you misstrust colloidal silver- anything is better than Sodium Hypochlorite- think about it, if you get that stuff in your eyes, you go blind.. u shouldnt give this to your friends..

look at the video link.. in the videolink they interwiew some scientists about silver, and they tell the opposit to what u found on wikipieda..

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Read the label in the video again and listen to the audio again and don't try to read anything into it. Sodium Hypochlorite. If you have any concerns, call your local public water facility and they will tell you this is what they use in the public water supply. They will answer any other questions you might have. Below is some easy to find information through Google. Please do not respond to this as I don’t care what your personal beliefs are and I am not here to promote any ones agenda.
“Colloidal silver can cause serious side effects. The most common is argyria, a bluish-gray discoloration of the skin, which is usually permanent. Colloidal silver can also cause poor absorption of some drugs, such as certain antibiotics and thyroxine (used to treat thyroid deficiency).

In 1999 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that these colloidal silver products were not considered safe or effective. Colloidal silver products marketed for medical purposes or promoted for unproven uses are now considered "misbranded" under the law without appropriate FDA approval as a new drug. There are currently no FDA-approved over-the-counter or prescription drugs containing silver that are taken by mouth. However, there are still colloidal silver products being sold as homeopathic remedies and dietary supplements.”

Nice video
What do you think of the no antifouling and regular scrubbing option for cruising?

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

In reality, there has been no option but regular scrubbing, no matter what sort of paint has been used. We will soon be hauling out, here in S. Africa. I will go through all the work and trouble to remove all bottom paint down to primer then will put on Coppercoat. I figure, there is scrubbing anyway so I want to make cleaning of the bottom as easy as possible. I understand, rather than using a scrubby, all that is needed is a rag, similar to the Propspeed, used on our prop shaft and prop. We want to head down to the south end of S. America where the water is much colder than the 84 degree, Fahrenheit, water we are accustomed to here in the tropics. I want to spend as little time in the water wiping it down as possible. Check out our "Hookah, How to Clean the Bottom" video which will show how easy it was to wipe marine growth from the Propspeed and how difficult it was to chip marine growth from the chain or scrub it from the bottom.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Thanks for the encouragement. We will keep at.

Patrick Franz - 5 years ago

We're heading out cruising in a couple of months, so I find nearly every minute of your videos helpful and interesting!! The provisioning and galley episodes stick out in my mind and the editing is fantastic. I like the little glimpses of the places you are visiting, but some of the best sailing channels out there turned into travel channels. Please stay with the tips and tricks, you two have such a wealth of information, and you should know that it isn't falling on deaf ears.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

This is Rebecca...
Absolutely. People have passed us, and we have passed others...we all go a different speed out here...so you are right..it will happen someday! It’s a small world!

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

This is Rebecca....So nice to read your comment..means a lot to both of us to read comments like this! So glad you find them helpful!

Where are you leaving from...maybe we will share an anchorage someday!

Frank L - 5 years ago

Any concerns about swimming in the marina due to possible stray electric currents? Great videos, thanks.!

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

No. While at Ocean View Marina, near Davao City, Philippines, every morning, for the 4 months we were there, a man would swim one long lap around the marina docks. He certainly seemed healthy enough and never seemed bothered by anything. I have never felt any effects from electrical current while in the water at a marina. I would think something would have to be extremely wrong to get any sort of tingling while in the water at a marina. Of far greater concern would be the health effects of polluted marina water. More often than not, I would soon get a sinus infection after working in the water at a marina. Now, as soon as I get out, I take a shower on the dock with dish detergent and use the hose to inhale a bit of water to flush out my sinuses. That has helped.

Jessica Jarneberg Karlsson - 5 years ago

Gerat video as usual! We like the mix of everything you show on your episodes. My husband and I are planning on sailing from Sweden for at least a year and we find your channel very helpful geting into the true sailing lifestyle. Thank you for sharing it with us! Fair winds!

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Always good to hear the videos are helpful. Thanks for the comment.

Rimas Meleshyus - 5 years ago

Great video sailing,many thanks. I am planning to sailing to Madagascar island and to Mauritius island ,located in Indian Ocean. I sailed about 35,000 miles on the high seas already always alone it’s very hard to find a ladies who are brave sailing around the world. That’s why I am sailing alone around the world. All my pictures on my Facebook page. I like your video well done. I am watching as many sailing videos around the world, and always I
Ike it and enjoying so much. On my Facebook page almost 5,000 people following

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Yes, it is hard to find a good cruising lady, at least for the long term. I had sailed around the world once before and worked as a professional captain. I was sailed out and needed no more adventures. Then Rebecca came along, with a Valiant 40, and I became the tagalong. Roll reversal. Now, I can't imagine ever living in a house again. Madagascar was a lot of fun but the officials are a bit greedy with made up fees which they are unwilling to write a receipt for....so dealing with them can be a negotiating challenge. In Madagascar, the people, and especially the lemurs, are great. If you go to our "Travels and Animals" channel, we have destination videos on some of these Indian Ocean islands. It is a new channel, so would you do me a favor and click on the "subscribe" button to help get the numbers up. To have 5,000 followers on your FB page is a very good showing. I will check it out.

Karsten Boye Nielsen - 5 years ago

John Wilbanks - 5 years ago

Hey guys. I love the channel and I almost always put the video in a special folder for when I need it..lol but that being said, great editing and b-roll makes for a great show. B-roll is all the great shots in between the talking that give the story a human touch. showing the sailing life from lots of angles is important. personally Im here to learn what you teach but that doesnt mean that a well put together show wouldnt bring more subscribers.. I hope to see you guys growing alot in the future.

P.s. I would love to see just raw footage of you guys going through some really rough waters. no need to edit alot of that stuff... just good commentary.. take care..

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Thanks, John, for the great comment. I have been trying hard on the B-roll. In the next video, which I am working on now, we do show some stormy weather but not like we had one night. It seems the worst always happens at night. That bit of breeze was just over 50 knots but from the stern so made for a fast run down wind, which is somewhat comfortable. It is, in that weather, impressive for the way the wind rips the tops off of small waves and how fast the boat goes. But of course, being night, I couldn't get the video. I was able to take some lesser storm weather and rework that to look like night while doing a voice over. We will see how that works out.

Alan Vanderhaegen - 5 years ago

Richards bay is great for repairs etc. A lot cheaper and safer than Durban. Spent some time there with my friend Alfie fixing the plumbing on a 38ft cat.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Alan, we were really undecided, Durban or Richard's Bay, for a haul out. We just ran into some cruising friends who are now hauled in Richard's Bay and they are happy so that sealed our decision. Thanks for your input which makes us feel better for staying here in Richard's Bay. We just arrived so eventually we will get geared up to facing all that work ahead.

That is a wad of modeling clay to help keep water from entering the chain pipe into the chain locker. That is covered in one of the earlier videos. Here in cooler climate of S. Africa, the clay is getting to be quite stiff. When are you going to start your YouTube channel. How is it going in Brazil? I think you need a GoPro to help document the nightlife around the world, a new YouTube channel.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Turn your boat into and Airbnb. What a great idea.

Roy Wessbecher - 5 years ago

+Patrick Childress Sailing Nice. My first serious travel was through Africa back in the 80's. Later bought myself a cheap boat and circumnav'd, in the 90's, but up through Suez. I still have the old boat. Trailered it. It's now an airbnb - https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/2643936

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Thanks for joining us, Roy. We knew little about Africa till we ran into S. African cruisers out in the Indian Ocean. They all said we had to go to Tanzania.....and they were right. Spent 6 months there. Now we are just starting to explore the Richard's Bay area of S. Africa.

Thank you, Tom.

SailingPittsburgh - 5 years ago

I like your clear explanations of DIY projects and thought you presented a nice blend of information. I just subscribed so I will be watching more of your episodes. I am always on the lookout for a good sailing channel. I thought Delos episode 102 did a nice job of explaining weather windows sailing down the east coast of Africa and it was entertaining to watch Delos episode 68 on how to check into India. The radio conversations with port control are always interesting and amusing as well. Regards, Bob

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Bob, Thanks for the suggestions. I will check out those Delos videos. I should have thought about recording our conversations with Port Control as we came into Richard's Bay, S. Africa, that would have been a usable converasation.

Sailing Nordic Sun - 5 years ago

That is what i figured. Do you use a HF/SSB to download any GRIB files? Or is that just old technology?

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

+Sailing Nordic Sun A SSB would always be worth keeping as a backup, Not just for GRIBs but for other communications....which of course is becoming rare. Most likely, if it is receiving but not transmitting, there is an antenna connection problem. Start from the radio and clean every connection and check all wires at that connection back to the antenna and all connections going to the ground and that will most likely get it transmitting again. We had to do this at least once a year and often twice a year.

Sailing Nordic Sun - 5 years ago

Currently my SSB is not working. I'm looking for some advice on whether or not I should get it working as a backup for downloading GRIB files. Any thoughts? Note I plan to get an iridium go as you have.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Watch the video "Marine Electronics for Navigation and Communication", the video just before this one on the Patrick Childress Sailing channel. That video goes into better detail about how to get weather information at sea. We used to use the SSB for down loading GRIB files but that has become as useful as a cassette player. PredictWind, down loaded through the IridiumGo, satellite communication, is far more reliable and easier to use. Although we could down load the same PredictWind information through the SSB if need be.

Do you use a stainless steel wire brush when cleaning your stove, if not that could be the cause of rust reappearing.

TOOMENETOYS - 5 years ago

+Nobby Barnes Great stuff ! I use it on my cars underside and panels . It smells like crap so I'm not sure I would use it inside , maybe just wiping some of it sparingly wouldn't smell as bad .

Nobby Barnes - 5 years ago

+Patrick Childress Sailing There is a product called "Fluid Film" here in North America made from lanolin derived from sheep's wool....comes in a spray can...excellent rust preventative.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

SS wire brush, plastic scrubby, you name it. This stove even had rust on the face and other external flat surfaces the day we installed the stove. All these are problems we never had with our old stove which was original to this 41 year old boat. Unfortunately, that old stove had non=replaceable burner parts so we had to get a new stove.

Marcel D - 5 years ago

Brick House crew, I like all of your videos. There is a wealth of information that can be gleaned from each video.
I prefer the sailing videos over the land videos . But it is all part of the adventure so, include them. You are documenting your adventure.

Are your able to use predict wind when you are offshore?

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Yes...that is exactly why we have the Iridium GO and Predictwind...they pair beautifully together! (Rebecca)

Sailing Nordic Sun - 5 years ago

Do you thinking running your engine every few days would also be effective at keeping the growth down?

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

I wish that were so but once the buggers are attached, they can't be shaken off, only wiped or scraped off.

Svein M. Bortne - 5 years ago

Robert Rantane - 5 years ago

I like your show. I think vlogs of sailing channels are basically the same but different - watch Gone with the Wynns, Delos and La Vagabonde. These top three are a course in how to do it. Sailing Sisu did an excellent study early in their channel. The key to success, if you define it by number of subscribers is taking the time to polish your production while maintaining a consistent style/content while listening to your viewers comments, it will take a while to take off, but you can see a snow ball effect after 10 or 20,000 subscribers, watching Sailing Uma will show you how to go from nothing to a very successful vlog in 3 or 4 years, watching Sailing Emerald Steel can help with integrating still images and old videos in an episode. Views can make a big difference on many levels and a viral video will change the dynamics very guickly, however you can't always predict that with certainty. Using clickbait can be helpful but if it doesn't deliver something to your targeted audience it won't be helpful. I think Sailing Doodles is really good at it. That's my 2 cents and it's worth both of em

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Thanks, Robert, for the guidance.

Hans Jensen - 5 years ago

Good morning! First, this was one of your finest videos. You covered technical, local culture, and sailing. Second with regard to the water testing- At what TDS amount would you pass on the water? Has that happened to you before? And similar question with the microbes, how often do you test positive for them and have to treat with chlorine? What about yellow or brown colored water, do you still test or just immediately pass? Thanks again for the content that is not found on other channels!

Hans Jensen - 5 years ago

Patrick Childress Sailing Thank you Patrick! Safe travels!

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Hans, I have never determined an upper limit for TDS before we drink the water. We have taken water from waterfalls, streams, the rain, you name it. As long as it is clear to the eye it is, to me, drinkable, if first the microbes are eliminated. At any point, taste is a determiner. I would think too high of TDS and taste becomes more apparent. 400 PPM is generally the upper limit of acceptability for a yachts RO system as the salt content will then become too high for health reasons. Not checking TDS in a yachts RO water can result in the membrane failing so slowly that the boat owners do not realize just how terrible, and salty, their water has become. In the Philippines, at the Ocean View Marina, dock water, which was actually well water, tested at 385 PPM. It was heavily calcified, terrible tasting water. That was the only water from a faucet, anywhere, that I could not drink. I really show the TDS in these videos so show how there is such a misunderstanding by so many who think city water should be avoided and how yucky it is to drink from a garden hose when it is actually better than what they have been making and drinking on their own boat.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

your expertise is greatly appreciated. thank you for all these tips and tricks.
However, your interaction with the places you visit are also more realistic for the "average" wannabe cruiser, so please, keep giving us clips of the places you visit and your interaction with the locals.

Your channel is very well rounded, and greatly appreciated.

It's an honor for us to be allowed to feel part of your sailing life.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Thank, you non yayet. It is always good to see your comments here.

brandon morgan - 5 years ago

I SAY , KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING. !! There are so many you tube channels here. But yours is TRUE. PLEASE don’t worry about changing it. I love watching learning and dreaming of when my wife and daughter and son and will be out there doing it too!! Thank you PC and RC!!!

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Thanks for the encouragement. Cruising will be a good life for your children.

scat w - 5 years ago

Hey add the story its Your show. I came here for knowledge. Tips and tricks guys And thank you. If you want to show the personal side i will still watch it all. Thank you for the videos! Stay safe.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Thanks for the comment, Scat.

David P - 5 years ago

Thanks for the video. More good information. I'm trying to learn as much as I can. Would appreciate knowing a little about what you do when checking in with customs etc. Also would like to know how you find reliable information about the various marinas/ destinations you visit before you actually go there. Also interested in what reference material you keep aboard.

By the way, although I have watched other channels, yours is fast becoming my go to channel. Slick editing is ok, but that is not what I am trying to learn. It's ok with me if your editing skills remain as they are, it's the information that counts. I still get a chuckle with the vid that says, "Title here" I love it. Take care and thanks again.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Ohhhh geeze, "Title Here". How in the world did that escape us till I saw it already up on You Tube and could not possibly be changed! There is a lot I would now change on those earlier videos but I suppose it does show the learning curve of not knowing how to take a video with my Canon camera to finally getting a little grasp of the process and figuring out this terrible Magix, editing program. Thanks for bearing through all those earlier videos!

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Thanks, Sailing Kiwi, good to see your comment here, again.

glassman51 - 5 years ago

In answer to Rebecca’s questions: the DIY boat tips and tricks are priceless, but I also love the travel log aspect of your videos. Please keep up the great work. Fairwinds and safe travels

glassman51 - 5 years ago

Another great video Patrick, thank you so much. I’m curious why you do not use lazy jacks or some sort of stack pack for your main. I would love to know your thoughts on this as I completely respect your knowledge and skill. Cheers

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Glassman, this is a response I recently gave to a comment much earlier in this thread about lazy jacks: I have used lazy jacks on other sail boats and they only help when the boat is headed directly into the wind and held there till all the main sail is dropped. Short handed sailing like this, such a maneuver is not normally possible. We drop the main on many points of sail, just like the basic sailing instructors teach students not to do. So lazy jacks are more of a nuisance and get in the way more than they can help. Plus they add a lot of chafe if the lazy jacks are not pulled forward towards the mast, when sailing, which means one more thing to deal with always pulling them out and putting them back. Not worth the hassles for the sort of sailing we do. Maybe for day sailing around the Caribbean, lazy jacks might be workable, but it is a spider web of tangles and snags in most sailing situations.

stromgewehr - 5 years ago

Stick with the rich content and your channel will always be fantastic. There isn't anyone out there doing things the way you do, with the depth of experience to back it up. I come here to learn and as long as you're willing to teach, I'll be back

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Thanks, stromgewehr, we will keep trying.

Mario Cooke - 5 years ago

I like all of your videos. whatever you do, I like

Mark Bowers - 5 years ago

Another great video guys. My favorite video? It's hard to pick any single one, but I really appreciated the 3 part Valiant 40 tour. I'm still in love with that swing up boarding ladder, but too cheap to pay to have one fabricated in the States. Found some decent over-the-gunwale stainless ladders though, that can are removable, yet can be locked in place with a pair of deck mounted "sockets". That's what I plan to go with for now.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Mark, it seems materials, like stainless steel tubing, is less expensive in the U.S. than anywhere else but the high labor cost, in the U.S., does make things, like a new boarding ladder, too expensive. As we have been traveling around the world, we get work completed where it is the most economical. Labor in many of these foreign countries is $10 to $25 a day unless they are trying to charge "yachtie" rates, like they do in Thailand; then it is better to have the work done in the U.S..

John Cano - 5 years ago

I enjoy watching the evolution of improvements. Your technical tip are valuable. I am researching before I buy my first boat.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

That is great the videos might help you select a proper boat. If you haven't already, you might want to watch the 3 videos covering the tour of our Valiant 40. There are things I don't like about this boat and things I like which are not often found in other boats.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Thanks, Marion for the great compliment.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Thanks, Eric, for the ideas. I am still new at this video making thing so appreciate all the feedback anyone cares to give.

Folkboat11 - 5 years ago

The dingy vid helped me out :) all of your vids are a help in the brain.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Happy to hear the vids are useful to you.

Tinho Dornellas - 5 years ago

Good job on this video. In my opinion this one represents the good balance between how to stuff and the places you visit. Personally the more I see how you do things, the better.
How did you guys fare with that awful cyclone that hit Mozambique?
Also is that a on demand water heater attached to the rear rail?

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

We eventually got some concerned emails, through the satellite connection, saying how devastating that storm was to the coastal area of Mozambique. Since we followed behind it to grab the associated N. winds, we had little trouble with that storm. We had other localized storms, one with 50 knot winds but it was from behind, blowing us south. I wanted to take down the stay sail but feared, no matter how careful I was, the sail would luff itself to shreds....and the wind generator sounding like an over-revving non controllable Cesena...very dangerous. That will be in the next video. "Water heater", You probably see the white elongated canister mounted on the starboard Radar mast, at stern rail level. That is a self deploying EPIRB.

Scott Mckinsey - 5 years ago

Mrs Childress has certainly come out of her shell, bravo. I like brickhouse videos because there is no one sailing the coast of Africa, and often in pretty dangerous and primitive places. Anyone can make sailing videos about the bahamas, snorkeling, french Polynesia, the med, all so boring. It's when you have to escape/confront the possibility of head hunters, pirates and other exotic primitives and miscreants that entertains me. Think national geographic on a tight budget. Lastly, anyone can make slick videos now with all of the sophisticated editing software available, the last thing I want to see is a slick video where all of the 'reality' has been massaged out. Stay safe.

Scott

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Thanks, Scott, for the very encouraging comment. I like the idea of dodging head hunters. We will be hauling out in S. Africa as I want to get this boat ready for a real adventure sailing down to Uruguay and through one of the channels, Beagle or Straits of Magellan. The biggest challenge is getting Rebecca psyched up for the trip.

Jeff C. - 5 years ago

Why the rapid bug out? Why not stay another couple of days, week, month, year...

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Eric is right. We have already spent a very long time in Tanzania as there was much to see and do. All that touristing has been completed. I want to get to S. Africa and have a very leisurely haul out which will take at least 3-6 months. Many of our cruising friends, who we crossed the Indian ocean in proximity with, are already in the Caribbean or South America. I can't understand their rush. They missed so much along the African coast. We hardly have destinations, let alone ETAs, but there are time the seasonal weather patterns make decisions for us. Just now, Rebecca showed me weather picture off the coast of Africa. If we had not gone when we did, we would not have avoided the now, strong winds blowing north, which will be there for a very long time to come.

Eric Rowan - 5 years ago

He said the weather patterns would change. Just ask captain Bligh. Haha.

David Smith - 5 years ago

Love your videos but as you did with TDS can you do the same with RO. I figured it out but I'm slow.

Ben Gordon - 5 years ago

I did some work on an island off Australia that had an RO water plant. Apparently they kept their TDS a little high as having it too low was unhealthy. Not sure how true that is. It could just be an excuse for having shit water.

James Ford - 5 years ago

+Ben - Exactly

Ben - - 5 years ago

if you drink water with a very low TDS count with a lack of minerals your body leeches minerals to balance things out, which is bad for your health and bones

David Cahill - 5 years ago

Love the informative videos and the tourist bits, especially where you are sailing. Other sailing YouTube videos seem to be centred around the Caribbean and are a bit the same. I personally like the informative stuff it is useful information as we refit our boat. What would be useful information is what paper work/visa you need when entering these countries. Can you just float into a country without first applying for a visa and what paper work they require and cost etc.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

+David Cahill David, that is a good suggestion. In Indonesia, they make the entry and exit process a nightmare as they are always trying to find some discrepancy to "fine" or squeeze money out of a cruiser. Officials in other countries, like Malaysia, are quite helpful and friendly. We just cleared into S. Africa....they didn't even ask for clearance papers from out last Tanzania port; they just wanted to know where we came from so they could fill in the blank. We could have said any country.

David Cahill - 5 years ago

I think it would be useful to see your end of the process even if is just talking us through it.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Thanks... this is Rebecca. Patrick calls me “The Officer in charge of Documents”...you are not the first person to ask. Not sure how to do this in video format since a camera is fairly frowned upon, if not illegal in many countries..many people here are pretty camera shy...

But...I have a good start on an article or blog about this...be sure to subscribe to our blog to know when it comes out...http://www.WhereIsBrickHouse.com

Nice videos !
Looks like your deck is going to need new paint soon. Work never ends, lol

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

That is why so many long range cruising boats are not, and will never be, "marina queens". Reliability and longevity trumps the shine of varnish. These boats are a maintenance tread mill. That is why much of our teak now has a nice gloss paint finish to it.....which, of course, needs to be redone. Soon we will haul out in S. Africa and do all those shiny cosmetic things.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Gosh don’t say that. We just did it last year...not so much cosmetic. But more to be sure we wouldn’t slip on deck, which is working well! (This is Rebecca btw)

Roger Swanson - 5 years ago

As an Arizona desert landlubber, I enjoy your sailing adventures. Love when Patrick goes technical and explains how things work or how to make them work better. My heart sails with you as you cut through the waves and I have no need for sea sick pills watching my desk top monitor. I'm just an envious landlocked admirer.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

I think Rebecca will agree that at times it is best to watch a storm from a comfortable chair in front of a monitor. She does get sea sick.

Deepsea Sports - 5 years ago

The videos are absolutely great!!! I really like how you do 2/3 or so as technical info and tips and about 1/3 showing us all of the amazing places you go and things you do while you are there! Keep them coming!
Hopefully my wife and i will be sailing the world soon. I am currently looking for a boat. A video on areas of the world to avoid, visit using caution, or must gos would be awesome!

Malama Robinson - 5 years ago

The music of Africa is so wonderful.... as are the people! You may be in S. Africa for awhile, as it grows on you....

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

That is an interesting idea. Certainly the southern Philippines is a no go area. We know several cruisers who were kidnapped and held for ransom there. Some made it out and others did not. Of course the Somalia coast is well known as a no go area. Cruisers are still taking chances and traveling up and down the Red Sea and most make it through.....

Reload 'n Charge! - 5 years ago

Enjoyed the video, thanks! Always fun to watch you plan passages with P’wind....a pretty nice part of the world to be holed up for a bit....but nice to get moving when the weather dictates! Thx, Andrew

Reload 'n Charge! - 5 years ago

Patrick Childress Sailing thanks Patrick! Funny....Could be the way people present themselves determines the greeting they receive as they visit some of these remote areas? You two seem to do it right. Richards Bay, always heard fine things, hope they have recovered from the tumultuous storm

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Andrew, originally we were to cross the Indian Ocean and arrive in Durban. We knew nothing about the east coast of Africa and only associated that part with Somalia. Talking to S. African cruisers we met along the way, they educated us about Tanzania. It turned out to be a great place to visit. Although we stopped in the out islands of Mozambique, to escape and wait out bad weather, it was suggested we don't visit the main land, not that it was a terrible place, just not desirable. Now we arrived in Richard's Bay, South Africa. If I didn't know better, I would have thought we were in some coastal city in the U.S.. There are some great places along the east African coast from Kenya south.

Hi it’s Rebecca...working on an article in relation to that now...

tallbikercat - 5 years ago

Definitely show the pictures and videos of the places you visit. Your how-to videos set you apart from most sites and are well done, but the clips at the end help bring it home for why we go through the effort in the first place. And if by chance there are some curmudgeons who don't want that type of video, being at the end they can just stop the video whenever they want.

It would be interesting to see a video of your diesel tank setup

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Hi Sailor Sam, the two diesel tanks are difficult to see. They are side by aft of the diesel engine. They were installed decades ago. If I had been involved with the installation, I would have had them make access ports on top of the tank for cleaning and being able to visually see inside of the tanks.

Michael Mechsner - 5 years ago

The payal tip jar link does not seem to be working. Love all your videos.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

I just (hopefully) made it easier by putting in a drop down list of amounts to choose from, and THEN you click the JAR...Hopefully that makes it easier. Ok..now to go do the translations and cards...We wanted to hurry and throw this up since we haven’t put up a video for a few weeks since we have been at sea ;) So many little details to do that can only be done on arrival ;)

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Possibly you are starting at the dollar sign to put in an amount...So put your cursor AT THE END of the $0.00 and type in 200000 (haha). If you aren’t gettin that far, it may be that you hit it just as I was messing with it. Please try it again and let me know how you make out. Thank you for your support!

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

Thank you...this is Rebecca. We really struggled to buy internet today, upload this video, and make sure everything is perfect...thanks for your help...going there now to investigate...stand by...Just arrived last night after a 3 week passage :)

Mike G - 5 years ago

Noticed you have a cable for the out haul. Definitely strong. Hope it never frays. Love the way you have all the systems set up for real world events. Wish production boats thought the way you do. We have the Tides strong track too. Love it. As always, great video! Really appreciate your sharing.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

The outhaul cable changes to a low stretch line inside of the boom then exits the boom so the line can wrap around a winch and then a cleat. The stainless cable has been there for decades and I see no problems with it so far.

Abdullah Dimion - 5 years ago

Hey guys, the nauticed link seems to have corrupted. I am looking at taking courses through them, so if you get paid if I use your link let me know I'll use it when I purchase the course. If you can get one that works.

Also, all your videos seem good to me, the valiant 40 tour was or is the best in my opinion, but then again.. I have one of those now so I'm blazed. I think this video was solid.

I personally enjoy the fact you guys deliver content and not an overabundance of pictures. I suppose certain types of pictures may help the bottom line.. but the not so picturesque stuff like plastic bags on propellers helps a lot more. Also maybe more shorter videos could be nice too, I have two kids and my wife.. so sometimes it is hard to get 20 minutes to sit down and watch whereas 5 minutes is easier...

Any rate just my opinion, at the end of the day we all have them. Do whatever you guys want, I think I'll be around regardless.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 5 years ago

captainandthelady - 5 years ago

I was wondering if lazy jacks would help with reefing?

Short handed sailing like this, such a maneuver is not normally possible. We drop the main on many points of sail, just like the basic sailing instructors teach students not to do.

Tnk's for sharing!

SouthJerseySound - 5 years ago

It's tough to pick a favorite video since they all have been good. Some are better edited but the others have really useful content. As for content, I enjoy the mix showing some of where you are, but enjoy the informative aspect the most. But don't be afraid to throw up a "destination" type video if you want, just label it in the title so folks know. One good thing to add is even on your non sailing video parts you try to add info on the place and its valuable too. So if you decide to do some on places you go, keep this in mind since most don't and it can be of help while keeping you from becoming a fluff channel.

Nicholas Stevenson - 5 years ago

Love you guys and Brickhouse! Why? Because you guys are real cruisers sharing real experiences. No nonsense fluff!!

Great video, guys! I enjoy watching all your videos, but to answer your question, I'm partial to the maintenance/electronics kind of vids. I find that stuff very interesting. Having said that, I think you should do what you want to do because that is where your passion comes through and we pick up on that - it's addictive. Keep 'em coming! I think you guys are doing great.
