You are a brave young couple. NIce to see you crossing an ocean with a Ben 36 and Hydrovane combo. I had a Ben 40 with one as well. One tip on how to land the Mahi with two people, don't use the gaff. Put gloves on and pull the line in by hand the last 20 feet and just pull it into the cockpit. Stay safe out there!

I'm seeing a resurgence of your earlier video style.. A hold shot, focus time... I love it. Looks like the stress of the journey is abating and the pleasure of the journey is taking over... Outstanding... A calmness has befallen the crew of See The Little Things... Isn't it great...

Totally agree with Colin Boniface. Lots of smiles and positive energy. Editing skills are fabulous ‼️ Can't wait to see your arrival footage. ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝 👙 🌞 ✨

Love you guys so much

Well done guys

Absolutely incredible editing & imaging. Excellent color saturation with superb cropping put me @ the waterline. How wonderful ❤ the composition of movement. I had serious kinetic effects. Bravo

Thanks Daniel ! So happy we managed to convey that feeling :):) and you enjoyed it 🌹

Great video thanks. I really miss being at sea. Hopefully within the next year I will have my boat, at least I am working towards that end. I really enjoy Levi he looks like he is having fun. I dreamt about sailing as a kid. My dad took me sailing when I was 5 years old, I really did not want to get off the boat! I am 70 years old now and miss the sea.

Maybe you should start a line of STLT homemade baby clown lures. Never have I seen such fishing luck with homemade lures. Legends you are. A fillet knife that bends would help with fish cleaning. Your video documentation of the trip is great Alex, the videos just keep rocking, you guys are in the groove. And that Levi, OMG he is just precious.

We have indeed thought about that hahaha. We were so surprised too! Sometimes it took like 45 minutes for the fish to bite 😂 Thanks Mike, he becomes chubbier and cuter by the day 😁

Another wonderful video. Some thoughts on your reefing setup: I am nervous that you have the reef line attached to an eye strap on the boom. Risky. I suggest you loop the boom with the reefing line and attach it with a buntline knot, not a bowline. Secondly, the reef cringle is far away for the boom. That is likely because you tightened the main halyard before you had fully tighten the reefing line. Reverse the order. If you loosen the main sheet first, then lower the sail and then tighten the reefing line (which will result in the reef cringle being right at the boom) and then tighten the main halyard and finally tighten the main sheet, you will have a neat and safe reef. When it is blowing 50+knots, you'll be happy that you did.

Great underwater shots with the mahi fighting for its life and finally escaping. And the LA idea is quite nice!

Another fantastic episode. Love the lures! Fair winds & following seas!

Like the idea of a survey. Well done. Keep up the good work. Baby is getting big. 😍 cute.

Outstanding quality of this video. Love the pool noodles. Try chafe covers on your Genoa sheets. It's amazing where things chafe and how quickly it happens on a down wind, rolly passage. Consider using a low friction ring for the reef line instead if a block. A lot less weight on the sail. I get you were on passage and tried what you had but the low friction rings work very well and can be easily put on with a dyneema soft shackle. would also work on your jib/genoa sheet chafe issue. They can also be used as barber haulers to help better shape the headsail when running.

1:00 brudi, meine gedanken sind schlecht. Und doch muss ich sie teilen: Ich finde es sehr sympatisch, dass ich nicht der einzige Papa mit krass müdem Blick bin. SCNR, geniesst die Zeit mit dem Kleinen ;)

Great video guys, love the pool noodles 🥰☺️

I gave you some $h!t a few weeks ago about not catching any fish . So glad you overcame that delima . I love the home made lure you been using . The Maui seem to love it too . I think the reason you lost that last fish was because Andy may have let the line slack for a second. A good tip is to always keep tension on the line so the fish can't spit the hook . Great job nevertheless . So good to see you all smiling and enjoying the crossing .

Great video. Hydrovane is the best, having used on our circumnavigation in the 1980s, using one now on our planned crossing to the Azores from the USA.

Loved the video!

Hey Richard! Will publish all the modules and topics soon. It won’t be a sailing course, we would not dare to be sailing instructors. It is mainly content about how to live on a boat and make liveaboard life comfortable and easy. But whenever it’s sailing or boat handling, we will likely have specific examples from our boat but the idea is to be able to apply the knowledge generically.

How far behind the boat do you leave the lure

@seethelittlethings

2 жыл бұрын

It depends and we had a lot of time to experiment. We noticed that generally we got more bites the closer we trawled the lure. It seemed that the boat caught the fish’s attention from farther away and the lure was the prey they were looking for
