ROUGH SAIL - BEATING our way across the BAY OF BISCAY - Ep 140

We're sailing from Country Cork in the west coast of Ireland, crossing the Celtic Sea and crossing the notorious Bay of Biscay before making landfall in Spain. We encounter big waves, a lot of shipping traffic, large swell and rough sea conditions from the Atlantic Ocean as we sail upwind.

Great video with some rough water sailing, thank you.

Travis I've been with your channel since the beginning & when I subscribed i though "OH", I don't no. But here I am & I went back & had a look at you guys back then.
Oh boy have you grown. Congratulations on that your channel very much worth watching.

[thomasbrasse]

Sorry you were feeling bad Steph. Travis kicked this sails' ass. Nicely done and good catch on that rigging.

[nancyschindler]

Yay for Jibsea and her crew! You all are amazing! You inspire us and educate us!

[jonathanscott]

Nice video taking
wow that was a rough go in the Bay of Biscay. You had an experience I don't think my stomach could handle. Hopefully you are now in much warmer weather and smoother waters. Safe sailing looking forward to next weeks video

[margaretyeung]

❤ love you video. Amazing how you captured the rough sailing part which contrast to the serenity of sunrise. I watched your video over & over. 👍👍

You guys are amazing! Your channel stands out amongst many of the other sailing YouTubers. You’re doing a great job and it’s a treat to watch your adventures. Thanks for taking us along. I can’t imagine how unpleasant this sail was and you are a great team. Steph, you’re so lovely😘.

Great video, the notorious Bay of Biscay!

[brianfields]

Hi guys, great video with a real sense for us non marinas, of just what endurance is needed for a trip like that. As I was once told, always remember the bad times will come, but eventually the sun will shine again. Can't wait to travel through the med with you guys. Give yourselves a big pat on the back. Best wishes from nz.

This passage is otherwise known as the Rolley coaster for sure. Glad you’re safe.

Ugh. I’ve hated the Bay of Biscay since getting stuck in a Force 10 plus and Huge Seas for over 3 Days, with being really Seasick, and no use to Man or Beast right through it. Had one okish crossing after, but since I head down well on the Continental Shelf and just Offshore, the French, Spanish, and Portuguese Coasts and able to get into nice places for shelter, and make use of Weather Windows. Yes it does take longer, but it is a great Route to Travel on with great places, great food, and lots of historic places ❤ it. Safe Travels and Fair Winds. Bob in Wales.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⛵️🌟🌟🌟

[pmacgowan]

[klouism]

Well done

Hi Steph and Travis. Thanks for posting this video. I hope you don't mind if I make so bold as to offer a couple of suggestions. The first one is, have you tried using the North Up setting with your chartplotter for long enough to experience the benefits? The point here is that sailing is all about the wind and the direction it's coming from. If the world and the wind direction keep spinning around the boat on your chartplotter display, as happens with the Heading Up setting you're presently using, maintaining situational awareness relative to the weather is so much harder. I accept that the Heading Up setting can make it easier to take a symbol from the chartplotter and then look in the right direction relative to your bow. There's pros and cons.
Also, it appears from the chartplotter that the boat's radar is not on, is or not integrated into that display. Radar is a great way to see fishing boats, bouys, standing waves, rocks, ... even fishing pots. We often picked up objects worthy of our attention using radar. Also, radar is real time whereas AIS is somewhat delayed, vessel dependent. This can make a difference.
Thanks again and regards, Rick.

[Outrageousconduct]

Yeah the bay of Biscay always hated that water congratulations on your successful voyage

[HopeOfJoe]

cool. Know it was bumpy and sea sickness crept in, yet cool that you two are making it. And a summer in the Need is exciting. See you next time. ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨

[svZia-Switch]

I know you guys were happy to have that passage behind you! I’m curious what ever happened to the staysail you put together back in SXM? That would have been a great sail for this passage and then a little bit of Genny in conjunction. Maybe the dink was in the way since you stored it on deck.😊

[gawebm]

Great video. I really felt the discomfort of this passage. I think I got a little seasick just watching it.
