[@joelenepreising7436]

Hi, Impi is hands on the best, the footage are sensational and the story line exiting, where some of the other sailing blogs stagnate or even deteriorate Impi is gloriously leading the pack and setting the tone, lead on my friends I am always on the lookout for your next posting, love and best wishes from Joelene.

[@CatamaranImpi]

Thank you Jolene - it's so great to know we can share what feels like an ordinary life for us and others appreciate the sharing. We are meeting so many people all the time through our videos and social media and this is something we really treasure! I hope you are having an awesome weekend.

[@steviefordranger198]

Fabulous episode guys and what a wonderful advertisement for Tassie.

[@CatamaranImpi]

Thank you Stevie! Tasmania is one awesome place ! We decided to duck back into Australia at the end of the year - one amazing country!

[@mikeferguson2828]

Another great episode guys 👍

[@Michael-el8xl]

Thanks for showing us places no other sailor has!

[@CatamaranImpi]

A pleasure and I must admit that we struggled to find footage on sailing Tasmania when we googled it.

[@majesticmark6054]

Awesome stuff.. So looking forward to more.

[@CatamaranImpi]

Thank you Mark - I will try get another out soon 'ish. Our son Terry and daughter in law Yola are busy sailing with us for 3 weeks so a 'little off the grid' at the moment. Cheers mate !

[@Michael-el8xl]

Well done you've never picked a tune I didn't like and man what adventures ...luck and fair winds!

[@marketheridge6802]

What a great video unbelievable well done. !!

[@tlowe2502]

[@gholmes654]

Catamaran Impi Take care mate. Loving your in depth inspiring insights and detailed travels. Perhaps we can one day catch up on a sea or anchorage.

[@CatamaranImpi]

Thank you Moz - so great that after all these years you are still with us and commenting! I hope everything is great with you!

[@roadie3124]

Wow! That is a very big horn :)

[@CatamaranImpi]

LOL - Philip had to stand down the stairs to play it - a real Swiss horn and apparently very difficult to play.

[@chrisjarvis8146]

That was awesome, we love it , you guys rock and roll like true sailors . Thank you 🙏🏼 Big Cheers from SV Breezy 🌬⛵️🌏🇦🇺

[@CatamaranImpi]

Aye Chris on SV Breezy - thank you! We love being rock n roll sailors in the land Downunder! We should be cruising there again at the end of the year. Cheers mate

[@pearadisevlogs7467]

Two thumbs WAY UP!! So good Brent, thanks for sharing!

[@CatamaranImpi]

Thank you! Always a pleasure for us and especially so with awesome comments like this.

[@seatravel8536]

Excellent video, those bright genuine smiles tell the story! Nice touch "Big Badass Cameraman". Hope your visit with Jenna was wonderful!

[@CatamaranImpi]

Thank you Sea Travel - Much appreciated and yes, we really loved Tasmania and the locals gave us plenty to smile about. We miss Jenna now that she has left the boat - her brother Terry is now sailing with us which is great! We asked Jenna to join us again however she is busy with moving to another country so some bug decisions on the go in her life at them moment. Cheers and have a wonderful weekend !

[@morrifam]

Yet again a fantastic video. Thank you.

[@CatamaranImpi]

Thank you for the compliment morrifam

[@DoubleUThings]

Thanx again for the video, and greetingz! Wim

[@CatamaranImpi]

Aye Wim - always a pleasure to hear from you here and our other social media ! Greetings and thank you for commenting here too!

[@toru7a]

Second that! Excellent video. Must get there sometime. Fantastic view from the lookout.Good job on the drone shots :)

[@CatamaranImpi]

Aye Don - how's it going in NZ mate! As an Australian living in New Zealand, you should really try get down to Tasmania - it's simply an amazing vibe and great place to visit. The drone skills are improving S L O W L Y but I did crash it recently loosing all the sensors. Still - its flying and capturing great shots - just not quite as stable in the air. Cheers mate - have a great weekend

[@rogerbarker165]

Loved it guys. You are both wonderful and uplifting. The music was brilliant as well. Tassie is about to be hit by a big front tonight. It should beva big blow. Catch ya next time!! Rog

[@CatamaranImpi]

Hi Roger and thank you ! I can only imagine that big front coming in - the wind sure knows how to alter ones hairstyle down there :) Cheers and hope you have a great weekend

[@craigbartschi4990]

Great video, I spent some time there some 30 years ago. Still as beautiful as I remember it. Thanks for sharing your adventures

[@CatamaranImpi]

Thank you Craig - I would have loved to see it 30 years ago! Always a pleasure to be sharing ! Cheers for now ... Brent

[@JonBrotherhood]

Love your footage guys. Thanks so much for sharing. inspirational.

[@CatamaranImpi]

Thank you Jon and always a pleasure for us. It's great to think we can still be inspirational. Cheers mate

[@philbox4566]

I love Tassy. Mt. Wellington is awesome to visit. I have climbed on the cliffs below the lookout. Excellent climbing area. So many great places to go to in Tasmania.

[@CatamaranImpi]

Phil - I am totally 'with you' - Tassy is awesome. After Jenna arrived we went up Mt. Wellington again - the weather was not as kind and hopefully I can share that in the next vid. Cheers mate

[@magnussparkes3376]

Awesome video! Hobart looks like an stunning place to visit.

[@CatamaranImpi]

Thank you Magnus - Hobart is steeped in history and truly has vibe and charm!

[@laurentfroggy6631]

Another great video Brent. It brought back memories of Tasmania. Thanks and best from typhoony HKG. Bisous a Ana et votre fille

[@CatamaranImpi]

Aye Laurent - thank you my friend from typhoony HKG - I hope the weather has settled a bit over there ! Ana sends her love !

[@martinkeller8290]

Your intros are the best. But nothing beats your intro with "Into the Mystic."

[@CatamaranImpi]

Aye Martin - thank you mate! And Yes, 'Into the Mystic' is a great song

[@Michael-el8xl]

EXCITING VIDEO GOOD TUNES....MAKES MY BLOOD RACE THANKS!

[@CatamaranImpi]

Thank you nonslave - really pleased we got your blood racing there mate! Cheers for now - Brent

[@paulrise5284]

Another brilliant video.

[@CatamaranImpi]

Thank you kindly Paul

[@dennisrichmond9874]

Love your taste in music ! Great video !!!

[@CatamaranImpi]

Thanks Dennis !

[@itsmePassport]

Your lady looks happy.

[@CatamaranImpi]

Yes Stuart - I am a lucky man to have a lady who loves sailing, exploring and values every day we get to live it. Every day feels new and exciting for us and I really hope it stays that way. Cheers mate

[@dancordellsailing]

Aha, not just Brent narrating anymore! This was a great video you two!

[@CatamaranImpi]

LOL - great comment Dan and yes, I must admit you guys must be pretty bored with my voice by now :) - I think Ana is starting to get more into the video vibe which up until now I think she wondered why I was bothering. I think meeting so many amazing people on social media and then from social media in real life has been so rewarding for us and makes us want to get more involved. Cheers mate - have a great weekend

[@SailBeforeSunset]

Great vid! Gave me something to watch as I tend to my first batch of alcohol out of our new still.

[@CatamaranImpi]

Aye guys - that new still sounds awesome !!! I hope my vid hasn't driven you to drink though ;) Keep the videos up guys - live the dream!

[@alexandertaranenko2811]

You are the Best

[@CatamaranImpi]

Thanks Alexander - you rock!

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

Soundtrack is right up my alley. They just don't make music like this anymore.👍

[@CatamaranImpi]

I am so pleased you liked the sound tracks - I listen to this type of music all the time - makes me feel really happy and alive !

[@donnadickson1451]

Its really great to see our own backyard on KZbin. Hobart really does have some of the best anchorages. (Even when it's blowing 40 knots.... like right now!!) I hope Catamaran Impi and crew are safe and sound. Inbox me if you want some local knowledge of where to visit/anchore etc. We have some 'must visit' destinations to share with you. Have a devil of a time :-) Regards Donna and Scott

[@paulnaylor3301]

I enjoy your sailing , the intro is awesome then you kill it with the music the natural sounds of nature brings one to the place .. if I may make a suggestion try making a video with just natural sounds it puts the viewer there to .. as with most sailing channels they ruin it with music .. the sounds of hustle bustle of the cities the sounds of wind and waves are more natural than someone screaming over the top of it ...and keep showing sailing footage I could watch and listen to the waves rolling by for hours ..thank you

[@CatamaranImpi]

Hi Paul ! Thanks for the honest comment and nice way in which you word how we can better it. I have this quite often, and I must say that I struggle to capture great sound. The natural sounds do not come out nicely with wind whistling through the microphone and scratchy sounds - I literally use socks, multiple cameras, foam, and even egg cartons to record sounds etc. when sailing. I hide cameras under the patio roof, in the stack pack, on the stern steps and all over the boat so I can share the best sailing / ocean sounds with our viewers - it takes me hours and hours to align the sound to the clip in most cases because wind seriously screeches through the microphone. Sound is probably something I need most to work on, but I capture a lot of what I do whilst we are on the move and we do not 'set up our shoots' - we kinda 'point form the hip' because we are that busy with exploring and filming is secondary. Actually, I often find myself lagging behind Ana trying to capture the perfect shots, but as she reminds me, we are exploring and living our traveling lives, so if folks can give me some pointers as to what equipment I can get to suit this type of random recording lifestyle, I will try my best with future shoots to capture better sounds. I am thinking I have managed to get it right on the boat with wind and waves but now I need to get it better done on land. Cheers my friend - hope you having an awesome weekend. Brent

[@glenpeters955]

Here's a new question on an old subject for you Brett. As you probably know Beneteau have just announced that they are going to produce a new catamaran design specifically for the full-time live aboard cruiser. So here is my question for you, if money was taken completely out of the equation what would be your perfect boat for travelling the oceans - new or used, power or sail. I have pondered this question many times and I must admit that given the choice I would probably go with something like a Nordhavn 68 or 76 trawler rather than a 50 foot cat. Which way or boat would you choose in a money is no object situation ??? Take care and keep having fun. (and tell Ana to behave herself)

[@CatTiki]

Yes yes yes Impi is still alive 😉

[@CatamaranImpi]

Lol - yes, barely but still kicking Cat Tiki :) Thanks for encouraging us onward

[@ToddHaden]

You Guys may be having too much Fun?

[@duncanmaxwell1481]

Ripping it down onto a thumb drive to take to the farm tonight. We don't have the satellite downloads speed to watch it out there. Will give you a like in advance. Respects Duncan ' My mother might want a Lagoon now, no longer happy with the small mono...worse things could happen hey :)

[@CatamaranImpi]

Aye Duncan - I hope you enjoying the farm mate ! Sorry about the Lagoon mate - lol - so many folks have bought them after visiting us, but - B U T - we hear they are releasing a new series all carbon fiber fast cruising catamaran later in the year I think - so that's something I'm looking forward to seeing. You may want to wait and see what they put out there! Cheers mate - have an awesome weekend

[@scenefromabove]

You guys keep lifting the bar as regards video excellence! Of course, that stunning intro helps a lot, and I have not once watched without going back and repeating it a few times. Was the salt water shower cold mate? Ana's foredeck yoga was a perfect bookend too!

[@CatamaranImpi]

Aye - Thank you Tony! We get mixed messages about the intros - sometimes too long, bad music and so on, so it's nice to get your comment encouraging us on. The reason I run intro's like this is because I like to share some of our greatest sailing moments here. We are a sailing channel - this is our passion so I like to capture the vibe of sailing for others as much as possible so it's quite sad for us when we get negative comments around the intro, but we also understand we can't be everything to everyone and we feel we need to be true to ourselves because these are also memories we are capturing. Actually, the salt water shower was awesome - I feel incredibly alive on the front of the boat pushing through the oceans, the wind, the waves, the speed - it's incredibly exhilarating being there and trying to capture the vibe on camera. Of course my favourite part is is the hot shower afterwards :D I'm pleased to hear about the great ending with Ana's yoga - she is so disciplined and does yoga every day, seldom allowing me to capture it, so this was a rare moment - lol. Cheers my friend and have a great weekend

[@alexandertaranenko2811]

What and where you are?

[@CatamaranImpi]

Hi Alexander and sorry for the slow response. We are South African and sailing full time for the past 'almost 8 years now'. We consider ourselves as citizens of the sea, and are currently sailing in the waters of New Caledonia. Cheers

[@Michael-el8xl]

I bet you guys were wishing the horn man would pass out haha

[@CatamaranImpi]

lol

[@glenpeters955]

If I have said it once I have said it a thousand times - "Don;t ever make fun of a man playing with his horn",,,,, it just isn't done.

[@CatamaranImpi]

LOL - Glen - you are funny man! I had to let my humour escape me a little there - when Philip told Ana he was going to play his horn everyone just packed up laughing - apparently - because of the expression on my face :D

[@glenpeters955]

I don't think I have ever seen Ana loose control like that, sadly the more he tried the more Ana lost control. A very funny moment.

[@CatamaranImpi]

Glen Peters - Ana says she felt so bad but Philip was playing along too so it was a great fun filled evening

[@peterward8349]

Bundy will do that Brent, full of Bundy the average bloke can fight a bag full of wild cats (in his mind) medicinal purposes only (Snake bites etc)

[@CatamaranImpi]

lol - Yes - Bundy will certainly do that! Philip was very quiet and subdued until the bundy got him :D

[@cptnscarlet]

Why do sailors drink so much?

[@CatamaranImpi]

Great question! They say it's usually the lonely sailors that drink a lot, but I guess it's all in the socializing and taking life with a pinch of salt. We very seldom find ourselves with 'drunk sailors' - usually folks are just having a good time together and drinking a glass or three!

[@cptnscarlet]

:)
