Watching the two of you work the sails and manage high winds is like listening to a finely tuned symphony. I admire you guys seamanship and skills.

Not really, and when she says "baby" as in "it's Cape Horn day, baby". She sounds like a dude which is grotesque.

Congrats guys...that's a huge achievement. I've been around Cape Horn too, though I was on the helm of USS Nimitz. We spent 2 weeks tying everything on the ship down. We were expecting seas of up to 60 feet, but got lucky and went right in between storms and seas were around 30 feet. Still, we were frequently taking water over the bow when we rolled I'd see nothing out the bridge window but grey sea in one direction, and nothing but grey sky in the other. I remember explicitly our captain coming on about 24 hours prior and stressing "If you fall overboard, the motor lifeboats are out of the question and the helo is on a 1-hour standby. Your life expectancy at this water temperature is 13 minutes. We will not stop." I cannot imagine doing it in a small boat.

Congratulations Curtis and Kate. Wonderful achievement.

Exciting, exciting, exciting. If there's an award for great sailing you would win hands down. Is the best of ever seen. You are tough cookies, I can't believe almost sixteen knots, wow. I love the line , we were almost knocked down but nothing to it. What are you gonna do for an encore l o l. Great filming, I'm going to watch it again. What a team. Thank you for taking me along.

Now that was worth the wait!!! Great video

Risky; basically everything and everyone had to perform as planned. But I think J Boats owes you a free boat; or a sponsorship. Aside from the risks taken, that was a relationship and, well, a how-to-be-a-good-person, skipper, and mate video I will watch again. If I’d seen it 20 years ago, it might have made all the difference. Well done.

The peaceful flow of the water and the jaunty make the water seem deceptively harmless. Almost like therapy
