Some kind of YouTube record. Well deserved.
Sailing at its best. Thanks for taking us onboard.

Thanks for showing all what a great little boat the clansman is .

Glad to see your spirits so high. Must be nice to get her on blue water again. We are looking forward to the rest of the crossing.

Magic moment at 17:26 whilst Troy was setting up the staysail, and a huge blue mountain strolled up alongside the boat - it's not often when watching on a screen, that you get much hint of the size, weight and power of those waves, but that captures it. I'm quite glad I wasn't there.

What a fantastic sail, absolutely exhilarating. Really got a sense of the wave sizes; photography was awesome. Thanks for the ride!

[BjrnOttoVasbottenbjovas]

The boat looks absolutely fantastic! That is quite some waves for a vessel that size, you two are obviously very skilled in handling it so well!

A little scary for this land locked 70 year old. So much water and big waves plus a small boat.... I am impressed with you abilities to master those waves.

[roncrawford]

I appreciate your commentary very much. I always learn something from your videos. Thanks so much.

Wow, you guys are true blue water sailors.
The best sailing vids I've seen on YouTube.

[mikegray-ehnert]

Good to see you enjoying the fruits of your labors!

[briandecker]

What I am noticing is no creaking, clanking, in the cabin under the conditions you were in. That shows the quality work you did in her re fit. It's nice see an old girl shine like she does . Good job .

[kevkares]

Love you troy and pasco always nice to see you God Bless you and your journey

[ericauton]

Love to see those precious little gestures of growing crewmanship:passing the winch handle. Without a word and Hairy Whiskers fist pumping his cockpit mate God Bless you both!

Wow, what a sail. You two are legends and I’m *SO* stoked to be a Patron of yours. I’ve sailed the Bass Strait myself, and it’s always a beast. You made it all look plain easy! Love cutter rig - it was what we had in Adventure for the Whitbread Round the World Race in 73/4. Each ‘slot’ providing power, just when you need it, and with a low centre of effort. 👍🏼💥🤛🏽💯⛵️👏🏽🎉
