41 - Fierce conditions on a passage to the Gold Coast, Australia

[@japc4326]

Video is very good, not a fan of the music, but not a music fan anyways. I get there is not much to speak about on a crossing when everything is working. Thanks for sharing and I joined! John

Thanks for following, we do mix up the trance with 80s pop - not a fan of boilerplate/coffee shop/waiting room music you often find on the Sailing videos 😊 I guess you can't please everyone!

[@tonycoutts-smith2663]

At last, someone enjoyed the music! Thanks for following

Good camera work but somewhat disappointing with the crazy music.

[@sailingnaivasha]

Amazing what you can capture on a mobile phone, but it still doesn't reflect the horrific nature of those conditions. As for the music, trance needs to be turned up loud to fully appreciate it - or you can of course use the mute button 😉

Nicely put together. I’m living in Port Vila, from Aus, lots of lovely yachts here for the season. I’ve been wondering how long it would take to get back to Aus by sailboat, now I know. Looks like you came from Santo. Last few weeks the wind has been strong out of the south east, south west, there are whitecaps on the ocean most days and large waves. Looks like you had a favorable window for your crossing (mostly). Nice wan!!

[@Buccaneer1971]

70% favourable, I'll take that!

beautiful boat - you are blessed!

[@Buccaneer1971]

Thankyou, she's our 10/10

Was this passage completed last year towards end of season? I watch another Chanel - their boat is Jaygo and they got caught in similar conditions from Vanuatu to Brisbane.

End of June this year, 2024

music with a sailing background, no bad

[@sailingnaivasha]

We like to mix it up!

[@chrisferguson237]

Enjoyed the video. Thanks. What is your boat? Rassy?

[@sailingnaivasha]

A Hallberg-Rassy 36, see our blog for more details, thanks for following!

[@derekgodfrey5]

You're a long way from Naivasha !

[@sailingnaivasha]

Indeed we are, the boat has had that name since it was launched in 1992, so we decided to stick with it when we bought her 10 years ago, it's a lovely name. Thanks for following

Wait until you get to the Indian Ocean.

[@Buccaneer1971]

Will choose our weather wisely. Thanks for following

[@kazimierasnorkus7191]

Awful sound, music or whatsoever.

[@sailingnaivasha]

Can't please everyone with our soundtrack choices - perhaps use the mute button 😏

[@walking_man]

Good video, but I'd rather hear "...wind howling..." instead of music.

[@sailingnaivasha]

Hit the mute button and open the window on a windy day then!

[@1218omaroo]

Nice vid, and don't listen to the philistines. Electronic music's excellent. :) Kids, eh? LOL

[@sailingnaivasha]

We do try and mix the music up, but you can't beat a bit of ambient trance :) Thanks for following!

[@SV-Valhalla]

Left after 2 minutes due to music

[@Buccaneer1971]

Happy for you to go elsewhere for your entertainment!

[@royupton2031]

Please get rid of the thump thump music,it spoils the whole effect of the vlog

[@Buccaneer1971]

Well, you don't have to follow us, it's your choice!

[@Michael-f6g3m]

Lose the freaking music

[@sailingnaivasha]

Why? It's our video and we produce it how we want it!

[@Michael-f6g3m]

@sailingnaivasha your video, my opinion. I'm not the only one with that opinion, js. That's all. No disrespect meant. Sail on friend
