21 | Sailing New Caledonia

[@MichaelMechsner]

You guys are my favorite “sailing channel.” Great video - BZ

[@ChristineMcfarlane-m3z]

THE BEST sailing channel by far!! Not too much talk over and just the sound of the wind and the water past the hull is magic . Huge thanks from Australia 👍😊

[@Digiphex]

9:08 that is a great shot with rain on the deck while a sailboat is in the distance.

[@stevenplancich6449]

Your Episodes are truly a “Cut Above” most others I Follow👍…Continue to Stay Safe and Enjoy 😎

[@njbaskipper]

I have to be honest, your channel is the only one I see of all the ones out there splashing waters. What I really like is the simple narration and the description and display of what really interests me. Wow, it is of very good quality and simplicity. I CONGRATULATE YOU and encourage you to continue along those lines. A hug. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@javier2008]

So many channels full of people frustrated with broken boats. Ultimately we are here for the sailing!

[@JagLite]

Magnificent! Beautiful boat and crew but it is your editing, shooting angles, and music that make it so good. Certainly a video that shows what cruising used to be like. A wooden boat, a rowing (and sail) dinghy, filling water jugs ashore and so on. Everyone else has a plastic boat, a fast inflatable with outboard motor, fresh water maker, radar, chart plotters and autopilot, and even air conditioning. It's a different world now, better in some ways but also something is lost. Few even know common sailing terms and show no interest in learning. They have kitchens, bathrooms, upstairs and downstairs, floors and roofs. But they are sailing so that's good. Thanks for making such wonderful videos and reminding me of my cruising years, 50 years ago...

[@Tearlaich64]

This remains the best KZbin that I subscribe to and amongst the best Television that I watch. Thank you for taking such care to produce such interesting work.

[@tj7870]

excellent video, thank you!

[@Bill_Bobbie]

Your videos, narration, subjects, music (especially the music), etc all come together to make a very enjoyable and immersive experience. Thanks. So. Much!

[@denvermartin5360]

You guys are amazing yet so humble. You channel is a joy to watch.

[@glenhatchell5635]

Always ecstatic when I see a new video. Julia is such a beautiful vessel!

[@user-fe8gl2zs7p]

You two make quite the team, beautiful boat and beautiful couple. Have fun and keep posting.

[@robertgold2643]

Always a special day when you two post an episode 😎

[@hansslob6749]

15:48, she’s so beautiful! Nice underwater footage, wonderful world! Save passage!

[@stratchoker8765]

Good to see you back again..Always a pleasure to see your vlogs. Thank you also much. Fair winds.

[@simongee5879]

I sailed twice across the Pacific back in the 70's and have really enjoyed revisiting with you some of my favourites even though many of them are now unrecognizable to me, As always, looking forward to the next leg

[@humblestever24]

How on earth did you manage? Was it VHS or Beta ? Seriously, a great achievement. Its very different now. Technically far superior, in other ways...well...

[@wmustafatube]

Your journey is now my dream. Lovely old restored wooden boat

[@johnharris2337]

Lovely to see you both again, looks stunning. Fair winds.m

[@peterstanistreet603]

Well now,! once again you have both excited and settled my soul. Your "storytelling" continues to be nothing short of awesome...🙏

[@allenrees3456]

We absolutely love your videos! Of course we are biased for a number of reasons...we, too, are Ingrid sailors and because we were on your boat long before she became the "Julia"! In fact, it wasn't until we bumped into to Brian in the chandlery did we realize that your boat, and the wonderful storytelling that we had been watching since the beginning of your voyage, was the boat that we were on at his yard...the boat that was to become the "Julia". So, on that note, thank you again for producing such wonderful videos that are reminiscent of the travelogues from another era.

[@MadisonBoatworks]

That's very cool! The boat has such a rich history.

[@Rudolf.Aigner]

You guys always make my day with a new video. Thank you for taking me to so many outstanding places. Stay safe and enjoy every minute of your long journey. You will need all these inspirations later in your life to keep you above misery and guide you through tough times. I'm waiting patiently for the next video. ❤❤❤

[@alexpeattie2042]

Another beautiful chapter! Always a wonderful surprise when your videos are posted. Looking forward to the next!

[@rasitcavcav4979]

Yet another great episode which i loved to watch. Looking forward for the next one.

[@ricorichmond8214]

Always wonderful to view your videos! The true basics of wooden sailboat and rowing dinghy exploring the South Pacific islands truly magical to experience ! Thank you again for sharing!

[@clausgiloi6036]

Incredibly well done video and totally worth the wait. Thank you!

[@sytzeriemersma]

I enjoy your peaceful videos, well done. Keep them coming.

[@Karen_richwillo]

Lovey lovely video. We are in Australia on the South East Coast. So looking forward to your next video. Thank you for your sharing your beautiful work with us.

[@gordonipock9385]

Your new video made my day. A delight.

[@jimstewart587]

Best sailing channel period!

[@davidzaharik5408]

Absolutely lovely video and my heart aches to get out there again! Stay safe ... prayers for both of you and the glorious ship.... Love your videos.

[@kodywilson5242]

Amazing video as always guys. Some of the best on the you tube

[@steveschwartz6138]

Another masterpiece.

[@kpp4492]

Always a treat to see one of these vids pop up.

[@jamessandman3708]

Amazing as always. Thanks for taking us along..

[@FreeSpiritOz]

I just love your commentary and ease of sailing. I know it's not always smooth sailing. If you get down to Sydney, give us ahoy!. I'll introduce you to the wooden boat people of NSW. Cheers from Free Spirit.

[@bviyachtsales]

Lives of dignity and self-determination !

[@chrisherbert2922]

Lives of dignity and self-determination, beautiful.

[@jorglange2666]

Just awesome! Thank you for the videos, you really capture what it's all about. Looking forward to the next one! Cheers 🍻

[@naturalcosmeticsreviews]

Can’t wait for the next episode ❤

[@BoatDawg]

Beautiful boat, great episode!

[@winelover1355]

Excellent vidéo and interesting comments too. I love New Caledonia, visited twice and sailing too. Wonderful grande terre and Le isle Amédée. Lets hope France contuines to grow the ecomony and ease the troubles. Viva la France ❤🇫🇷🍇🏖⛵️

[@californiakayaker]

I know of a guy who has done this passage solo, in fact, a couple guys. I would think that they would avoid that type of weather even more so being solo. It was hard enough for the two of you ! I'm really impressed with how well you care for that boat.

[@donland-zu9ul]

Another great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@rogerjohnson2031]

I just can’t wait for your new videos!

[@JeffreyValloric]

Honest sailors and the real deal,,,sailing the real deal

[@HoferAdam-xz9xz]

Beautiful boat ❤❤❤

[@ronaldwhite5670]

Excellent, visually beautiful, very relaxing 😅, an experience. Thank you 😮

[@robertnixon3816]

Another excellent video! You both have gone "tropical"! It would be hard to be dropped back into the PNW at this point! Beautiful photography, editing, music, etc. makes you feel you are right there!

[@markusvlasits3937]

wonderful episode. congrats and greetings from Brazil!

[@gefginn3699]

[@harryistdraussen]

Love your Channel 😊

[@brianclarke7169]

Just found you. Excellent filming. I will tag along. Thank you.

[@Andre-yu3qs]

Fantastic, thanks for sharing.

[@adwest68]

Top video, as every time

[@viktorm9986]

Thanks for the amazing views!!!

[@JenkinsBoatWorks]

Brilliant video. Thanks!

[@humblestever24]

Wow, so many nice looking yachts. Harbour full of them. Monohulls and catamarans. And this on the other side of the world. If I see any more dolphins cavorting off the forward pressure from the bow of any yacht at any time ever ...I'll call Eric Cartman.

[@DanieOosthuizen-l1x]

Wow Sailor, great epesode

[@itonuoro3813]

nice video, thank you!

[@SCOTT-vm5nj]

Great video!! I’ll try to find a video on your channel regarding the building of your dinghy or just a description. Really a nice boat too! Thanks, Scott

[@brianturner2197]

Hope you 2 are OK, looking forward to an update. Stay safe

[@jwrappuhn71]

Excellent.

[@fokaspetrogiannis]

Excellent 👌

[@johnmajewski1065]

Nice video, I have sailed there as participants in a race, a few decades ago, the marina has expanded dramatically from my time there as per your video. Before we sailed back to Australia we anchored at Amedee lighthouse for our last cup of coffee before leaving for home, I wonder if the cafeteria is still there? Now I'm in Pittwater enjoying my time there through your video. Many Thanks SV Skoiern IV

[@curiousnomadic]

Your videos are always pleasant and mature. I'm just so amazed at your skills in building everything you built right down to the self propelled dinghy. It's so perfectly analog, if that's appropriate to put it that way. Do you come from a boat building family/history?

[@richardblair919]

My dad was on a destroyer in WWII. A lot of naval records were lost in a fire - I know they were in the South Pacific, and I know some of the island names. I wonder if the seas you are experiencing were seen by my dad also. Take care always.

[@jpdj2715]

Lovely video, lovely crew, lovely boat. Today I doubted my earlier classification of Julia as a ketch but paying more attention stuck to that. Do you use the mizzen a lot? While having seen all your videos, I don't remember.

[@MadisonBoatworks]

Yes we use the mizzen constantly. It goes up and down depending on the wind and helm balance.

[@lewbarrett]

Just found your channel and so glad I did. We restored a 1938 fifty foot Monk cruiser in Seattle some years ago and are well familiar with the challenges involved in making the old girls work as they should in their second lives. I think I knew your Ingrid in the days before you had her. Is it possible that she was previously owned by Sue and Tim Regan (Tim the “corker”)? Regardless, I am delighted to see you are still posting relatively recent videos and that she is holding up under hard use so well. Fantastic stuff! Subscribed.

[@vg7226]

Fantastic. I guess your chech in gonna be in Cairns? Fair winds

[@TheSalMaris]

Another lovely video. Thank you so much. I've a few questions regarding your tender. Skin on frame, right? Your own design and build, or someone else's? Looks like the way to go, as it is light and easy to launch. Thank you again.

[@MadisonBoatworks]

I built it to the Annabelle design by Dave Gentry. It's been great.

[@TheSalMaris]

@@MadisonBoatworks thank you

[@elviopereira]

Fantástico

[@glenhatchell5635]

No cred for two comments in a row, I know. I'm in my final night at my place in Tampa before evacuating in the morning because of Milton. Music isn't helping me stay calm and then I remembered that Julia would be able to. Thank you again!

[@morrispenick9831]

Really enjoy your sailing adventures did you make it to australia?

[@bradleylaford1526]

Beautiful! How long before 22 is ready? A Recent Sequel? I love the scenery. In childhood I had a Stamp Collection with South Pacific Images such as these!?

[@bradleylaford1526]

Gee.. that's Beautiful

[@aimtb]

Hey ... where are you people and when is next video to be published .. have you people reached Australia safely ?? Wishing you a safe sea voyage from Pakistan.
