The whale and dolphins were welcoming you to the sea! I would consider your boat to be officially blessed.

she does make good videos, that probably why im still watching since the build is pretty much done

So happy for you guys. Your little tagline, "you're coming, too," is right on the money. Sitting here behind my computer screen all day, your videos are a such a welcome escape for my brain!

It feels like a privilege to be able to watch this journey after seeing just a small part of the hard work you've put in, it was already a magical vessel you've created but the dolphins blessing her bow made this an incredible thing to watch.

One of the first videos I watched was when you loaded up the hull on the trailer for the trip to Cali. Since then I've watched 99% of your videos! This one was my favorite! That smile on your face Ruthie was priceless! So happy for y'all!

More or less the same here ...

The VoiceOver and soundtrack were amazing as always. Please, please, please don't feel pressure to get closer to real time releases. You're doing amazing with a two month buffer and it could go out to four and we'll all be right here on the edge of our seats anticipating the next weeks adventure. Fair winds!

It’s so enjoyable to see y’all settle into life on Rediviva. When you said” it’s so quiet, well except for the motor” I totally understood…. One can be on an open piped Harley on a close forest road but when it’s just you, it’s your world and yours alone. Cheers! Mark

ALRIGHT!!!!! You two make a 70 year old man cry with joy just watching how your doing what was meant for you both to do. The build was extremely fun too watch but this sailing is the best. Like I always say keep loving each other.

What I still call home is Santa Barbara even though Ive lived in Virginia for 25 year now, the phrase " late night and early morning fog" will forever be ingrained in my mind.

Thank you for taking us along. Your pride in what you have accomplished is well deserved!

Now you can see how balanced she is, well built you done more than a terrific job on the build

Ruth, another great video with good camera positions and interesting talking. I am so happy that you don't have to keep your hand on the tiller and let her self-steer.

Fantastic to see you enjoying the fruits of your labour ❤️

So great when you know a boat down to the rivets. "I think it's the beginning of a beautiful relationship..."

To be propelled across the ocean by a vehicle built with your own hands must give you guys such a happy feeling! Heck I get a that feeling just by watching!

It is great to see you on the open ocean...

I’d love to see hand rails on the coach house roof, one day 🙂.

Ruthie, when Garret insisted you clip in, it's because he doesn't want to loose you.

Your rigging is very well sorted. It looks tidy and organized.

Beer battered fish tacos ala Ensenada are the best. Watching for 5 years now.

I just wanted to let you know that I went back in the archives and watched the video you posted, Salt and Tar, the First Year. The two of you are some of the most industrious individuals I have ever seen. (Excluding Mike Patey who get 2-3 hours of sleep a night designing and building airplanes). After watching that video I can only imagine how excited you are. Fair winds and following seas on your adventures. I am so glad you took the time and got that engine running like a Timex.

Good to see Rediviva out in the blue where she belongs. You two have so bloody earned it! And ol'George: sittin' up there on his cloud being proud of her going so easily and precisely under Your caring command. Thanks for sharing!

Dolphins at the bow never gets old. A few weeks ago, we were coming into St. Pierre, Martinique, and were met by a pod of large dolphins. My fish-crazy cocker spaniel had never seen dolphins before (beeg feesh!) and I made the mistake of pointing them out to him. He took off forward to our port hull bow like a little tawny rocket ship to see the feesh. He only barely got the brakes on in time to skid to a halt and prevent himself from becoming a dolphin playtoy. Dolphins at the bow never gets old.

Am I awake? Is this a dream? Well? It has been for so many of us, including both of you, for YEARS!! Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! Man I will y'all had some perfect wind and could just sail! But we'll get there. EPIC EDITING, Ruth!! You're a gifted talent. Spectacular video. I'm so EFFING HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH!! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

She steers well because she knows where you want to go.

what a joy youre laugh brings !! thnx

I’m really enjoying this transition to a sailing vlog. Interesting material and great editing

This Australian couple, who now have 'swallowed the anchor'. He was a commercial fishermen at one time. His buddy, a fishermen too. Told him to troll his lure about, eight meters out, and one meter deep. Fish on! Most every time.

I was starting to go throw withdraws missing some salt and tar. Good to see everything going well.

You did such a fantastic of building her it's really cool that she handles herself as if she's on the water for a lot longer than she has. I wish you both continued happiness

Lunch time here is AUS. 🍻🌮

You two are legends in your own lifetime 😀 Been following you since the start of the build. 😀 👍

Ruth you deserve this! You have waited a long time for dolphins off the bow :)

You have such a well balanced ship. I have to admit I had some reservations about a tiller to steer. I had visions of someone having to be on the stick 24 hours during a sailing but HO ! you have a built in Auto-Tiller ! What ah deal makes me want to crew for you seeing you out and about. I grew up around the water on the East Coast. William Adkins was my dad's surveyor and his wife was my art teacher in Tokeneke Elementary School. GOD, how I miss those days.

Hi there, I've been following your channel for a couple of years and I'm stoked to see you finally living the dream. Your hard work paid off. Such a fine little ship. I look forward to seeing your adventures. I grew up in the Canadian North West and love the ocean. Take care and best wishes, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for taking us along! Just…wow! You guys are awesome! 💕😎💕😎💕

I’m convinced that all that none steering was when Garrett was putting the rudder on and was fine tuning the pintals with a grinder to get it to swing just the way he likes it!🤪

Hehe you know it!

So, this doesn't really count? Because it is just the transfer trip from wharf to home port? It is so nice to see the joy and satisfaction in your eyes! Finally at sea with the boat you built yourselves - what an achievement! And the dolphin visits are the icing on that cake! Thanks for sharing the happiness!

So happy to see you two on the water.

The only time I've ever been violently seasick was out of Monterey Bay while on a whale watching tour... and dozens of dolphins were surfing our boat's wake. So cool while also SO sick. LOL

It is neat to see you skulling with the rudder to gain position! Very few know of that technique today! 😁🛫

The look on your face Ruth as you turned from watching Garrett sleep on deck and looked into the camera.... that my friend is love! You continue to bring an unsolicited smile to my face, thank you!!! It is amusing to me that before I read your disclaimer about the dolphins, while I was listening to you giggle at them, I couldn't help but remember my now 23 year old daughter as a younger girl making the same giggles as we played in the waves... never loose that, stay young at heart and be happy.

@Salt and Tar Perhaps you could rig up a sheet to tiller system for self steering so that you would not have to always hand steer. Once in place, the topic would be good content too.

I've been catching up on your build over the past week. What a whirlwind to watch, even though it was 7 years of your life! It was really quite the crescendo to show up at your channel now, to find that you've just really set out on this next phase of your adventure. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. Bon voyage!

Your craft's sailing abilities are proven, but it is also a very good thing that you can motor very well when you must. Good motor like a good dog, sleeps a lot of the time.

It's been a long time tied to the dock, She is a happy boat.

Those dolphin were as excited to see you as we are

From landlocked Colorado we are loving the Denver coffee cups. 😂

Now you struck the marine mammal lotto on this one. Wonderful vid! You built an instant classic sailing vessel!

Very sensible, to clip on. Too many sailors have disappeared while on a solitary watch.

Those look like Dall's Porpoises. They are super fast.

It’s really surreal to watch you just sailing along. To think I watched you pour the keel and set those masts…. It so amazing.

I always enjoy how you tell your location,where your heading and landmarks you pass .I just hit google earth and zone in !! Thanks for another wonderful episode!! Fair winds ⛵️

Very cool video!! So excited to see you on the open ocean now and the boat is doing great even the motor!! Great editing makes it even more awesome to watch!!

Garrett and Ruth, I posted two comments and was typing another and they all disappeared. KZread must be deleting them. I loved the video. You saw more marine mammals, in a one day passage, than a lot of people see in a lifetime. Cheers! Blue Skies, Fair Winds, and Following Seas. Faithfully, James

You people are looking so happy😊

An absolutely stunning sunrise you captured there across the bay in Monterey. It’s so calming watching you guys sail thank you

Those so-called dolphins looked black and white in color to me and more like orcas than dolphins, lol. Loved seeing so much sea life on your first long passage. I would say you are officially blessed and fulltime seafarers now. Its such a great feeling after 7 years to finally see the dream become reality and to be sailing on the open seas. Rrrr Matees, welcome aboard!

I so agree with you, nothing batter than the naked horizon over the bow .

Happy to be aboard for these sailing days (and nights). Fair winds and following seas, bon voyage!

I have enjoyed every second of you building that lady, I somehow feel invested in watching her take her maiden voyages!! I feel like I am there with you; somehow it matters to me as much as it does to you? I don't normally see your video until I wake on a Friday, but tonight I get to see you late on Thursday .... Awesome content, love you Both!!!!!

Congratulations on setting out! Remarkably balanced helm/sail plan. Have read of such boats but never seen one so able to keep her course. Amazing.

After watching all these years. Beautiful well balanced helm.

Morning from Siesta Key Florida

Something to think about is getting a couple of bean bags to sit on while your on watch. They make all the difference. Your back side and back will thank you. Congrats, fair winds and fallowing seas.

I went to Morro Bay on my first visit to the USA. A lovely little town.

The whales and dolphins are majestic

Glad to see you guys living the life after all those years of hard work building your ship

nice view @16:50

I built a 17' sloppy gaff rig and there is nothing cooler than sailing your creation - good on you guys!! Following seas!!

She looks really nice with all Sails up.like to see more shots from another boat or drone.Beautiful Job

Redaviva has a mind of her own to stay on course..doing her part to help you two..

It was a wonderful morning for you but also for me it was 07.00 morning I have seeing your weekly video music water your boat lovely ❤️❤️👍👍beautiful.

It is emotional to watch Redidiva stretching here legs🤩

I lived in Santa Cruz near the pier and rowing club operated out of the harbor. I used a single racing scull using a compass and mirror as you face backwards. I regularly rowed out to the one mile float.

So happy for both of you. Congratulations! You have deserved this moment for all the work you poured into Rediviva.

You guys did a great job building that baby... Outstanding on the build for sure.

Nice motor sail. ⛵ Dolphins and whales are a plus. 🐬🐳💙

Even sitting here, watching all your work and finally seeing her come to life on the water, is a thrill. I'm sure, for you, its a great feeling.

That just means that you have yourself a well-built boat

Nice. Being in the coastal waters normally means motoring a lot, more than sailing. She's doing well there. Pity about the wind though. Would love to see you sail the open ocean.

19:24 Yes, on a boat, we end up sitting down.. and on the ground on the deck, it's not terrible in the long run... you still haven't provided any benches, as all sailboats have...!!

Hooray 2nd "at sea" episode done and looking forward to many more. Now that I've watched all the past videos I anticipate each weeks new video. You folks are my favorite sailing channel.

SO happy for you on your Dolphim christening!!! Great to see the high Seas adventure begin- you more than earned it!

It's fun watching you both reap the rewards of your many years of hard work.

I will never ever choose to own a boat ike yours but I'm super impressed with her balance. You did a great job.

It's so cool to see you sailing with your Boat! I spent so much Time by watching you work on your Dream, and now you are travelling with her. That's pretty awesome!

Been waiting for update

Dolphins never get old......

I was watching your video I’m working here in Santa Cruz on a crane and I told the wife I’m getting out of here in three hours I’ll jump in the truck and come down and buy you guys some breakfast or cocktails or something then I watch the rest of your video and you left sorry to have missed you glad the boats working out you guys look like you’re having a wonderful time. luck….

I’m so happy for you two. It’s really nice seeing and hearing landmarks that I’m familiar with. Good luck with your travels.

looking good….nice display by the dolphins….stay on course!

Remember man is the dream of the dolphin ( Enigma )keep having fun and enjoying life you only get one go at it so don’t waste it but I think you know that right 👍😊

That’s got to be the coolest thing ever! pulling in the marina with such an epic boat🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻⛵️😎

Nice to see those shores. I was training at Ft Ord in 1967 and would go down to Monterey Bay, hang out and drink wine while watching the seals and otters. My Granddaughter just got married in Big Sur this summer. Beautiful place!

What more could you ask for? A couple of camp chairs... lol

Good lord, this is the post I’ve wanted to see for all these months! My hair is standing on end watching this. You two did this. You two built this! You two can sail the seven seas on a boat that you built, it blows my mind. I’m so proud of you guys. I know it wasn’t easy, and it wasn’t quick, but you two did this. Rediviva is such a beautiful tribute to your hard labor for these years. She is the goddess of the sea that’s finally released in the open water. I’m so proud of you two.

Well Ruthie , you still made it by a few minutes to post on Thursday ( Eastern time ) 😹😺 now my day is normal again 😹😸

love seeing your boat under sail,,,enjoy watching you guys working on the boat but seeing it open ocean is what i've been waiting for,,,GOOD JOB,,,you guys.!!!!!

That boat sails as well as I thought it might.
