If you want your potatoes to last 11 months, don’t get them from the store, buy them from a farmer fresh. Then let them air dry for a week. After that, keep them away from every light source, in a very dark place. They will last for your entire trip and more.

[@USAsportsmanIdaho]

If I may make a suggestion about boat handling, when navigating through shallow water at low speeds it is safer to only use one motor for propulsion and trim the other all the way up. If you collide with a hard object only one motor is subject to damage and it’s easier to navigate a very narrow channel. In the middle of nowhere one perfectly functioning motor could be a life saver. Keep up the good work, love your camera expertise and identifying the different sea life.

Fran telling Jack to watch out and saying sorry to the turtle 😭 I love you Fran

[@californiakayaker]

Very hard to nail down the actual location. Google Maps calls it Waua Islet with Dowar Islet right behind it. Another name for the island behind it is Daua Island. About 118 miles at a bearing of 45 degrees from the North tip of Australia where it stretches out to Papua , Not where I expected it to be ! The biggest island near by might be called Mer Island or Murray by others. You might be able to get supplies as long as it is still Australia ? By the way, it took all the tools I've got to find this, doubt I could do it again !

[@jamesbaber3775]

Took me 2 minutes on google maps 😂

I have watched several of you catch and cook videos...and noticed you cook the coconut cream...I was taught to cook everything and put the coconut cream in last. Has a much sweet coconut flavour than cooking the coconut cream with with everything else.

[@jc-cf2ks]

At 5.30 mins in it looks like nativs and giants ❤

[@cmrdude]

Wow, so beautiful! What a great spot. How do you decide if it’s safe enough from crocs to sleep on a beach? 16:04

[@aju4333]

super Fran

[@JK-zi1rg]

Oh man that water color! The fish and the coral just pristine! Not trampled like so many reefs these days. Just beautiful. Thank you so much for this incredible content!

[@strickandfran]

Thanks so much for coming along mate

[@dianapurdy7755]

HI, love your white bikini Fran and of course you look so good in it. I am amazed that you can both stay under the water so long, I've always loved diving and the coral and fish gardens under the sea. Your photography is really good in this video and the place is amazing. Keep safe and see you on the next one.

[@captmulch1]

Fran saves the day!

[@mbtornado2476]

Another great video!!! Fran love the new suit!!

[@factanonverba6169]

Hey, the aerial shots at around the 27/30 sec mark, were those ancient stone fish traps in the water??

[@MikeB-68]

Man that is an incredibly Beautiful Island!

[@Leosarebetter]

For anyone wondering Mer or Murray Island was where the small township is and the two islands are Dowar islet & Waua Islet - the latter having that cove/horseshoe like cove.

[@TheTradingCFO]

[@Fairplayer43]

This is one of your best videos yet.. my grandmother had a name for women like Fran. This is a woman with hair on her chest. 😊 She stole the show my friend! Cheers and much love for the two of you! Loved the video mate! Thank you!!!

[@paineintheass233]

I wouldn't bread fish so fresh. try poaching if you tire of plain grilling or over open fire

[@brianerlandson5338]

What a beautiful and courageous adventure. Very inspiring and thank you both for inviting others into your journey. Stay safe, enjoy, and thank you!

[@NOJSIP]

LOVE to see you guys posting. WOW great episode!

[@frodosadventures8757]

Wow! I've looked at that Island on Google Earth and thought that that would be a good place to visit. With those palm trees against the black rock it looks more like French Polanesia than Australia.

[@curtisnixon5313]

New Zealander here. I'm finding it funny how you have fish called Māori Wrasse and Māori Sea Perch since the Māori people are indigenous here. After thinking about it the Pacific peoples came out of the area you are in now and some language is common (kai=food here, in PNG kaikai = food ) And māori has a meaning apart from the name of the indigenous people here and means 'common' or 'ordinary'. Some species of animals are called the common xxxxxxx. I hope I explained that right, please correct me anyone if not.

[@francisfenton7061]

Same here Was trying to figure out how and why . But we are roamers of the sea and most definitely must have stopped in and shared our knowledge

[@marcellussabatino5091]

Not wrong there, brother! In the Torres Strait Islands, where they both are, we speak broken English as well, which is similar to the PNG pigeon. Kaikai in Torres Strait means food/ eating. Torres Strait may be a part of Queensland, Australia, but we have a strong Melanesian heritage.

[@curtisnixon5313]

@@marcellussabatino5091 Stay strong brother or as we say here Kia kaha! It's a beautiful part of the world your in.

[@marcellussabatino5091]

@curtisnixon5313 I'd say the same thing about Aotearoa brother! Koeyma Esso (Big Thanks) to you...

[@tarawaukeri8928]

I'm often wrong but...I don't think Māori were referred to as such until colonisation.

[@maniachill3069]

Great video, I know it's a lot of work, but PLEASE put out as many videos as possible. I'll watch them all! Hello from Maine, USA

[@jameslanning8405]

Ah! That's the life! Delicious fish, a pretty lady to keep company... Even crabs in your tent! LOL Fran deserves a medal for all she does... From hunting the fish, catching them, cleaning them, cooking them... "By the way, is the crunch 'breadcrumbs,' or sand?" The reefs there are always so full of life, and colors and beautiful clear water! Count every day as a blessing Strick! You got way more than most people, who, 'like myself,' toil at the daily grind for peanuts that the tax man thinks are his!

[@strickandfran]

😅 thanks so much for the nice comment mate 🍻cheers to the little things

[@cory_hugs7850]

Can’t imagine what heaven’s oceans are going to look like, I bet just like this. What a spot to enjoy with your woman 🤙🏼

[@WestTXRedneck1972]

I really love watching y'all's videos. I have to admit I started watching because of how hit Fran is but while I kept watching it reminds me of when I was a kid watching Jacques Cousteau on TV.

[@stevealkire7626]

*Am I the only one who gets nervous when people start swatting away on a coconut with a machete...* 13:20 🥥🌴

[@Martin-ef4xh]

She's a keeper!!!! Gets off the boat to push you to deeper water? She's amazing!

[@HuyFishingVlog]

Amazing . The place where you two are is as beautiful as paradise. really like you two. always wish you both good health

[@Mrbuckaroonie..]

That Waua Islet near Mer Island is absolutely stunning.

[@jeffreydean1032]

Love watching your shows. This has to be one of the most magical islands yet. Awesome 👌

[@williambhoe]

What was the song, when you were drinking out the coconut in the sunset?

[@richard_n]

Talk about living in paradise, what a truly special place to be.

[@douglaspiccinelli2630]

That boat you found with no one on it did you find the owner

[@daveburnette5106]

I hate when you skip a week but I’m sure you put the time to good use. Another great video!! Thanks 😍👍

[@strickandfran]

Yes so sorry, life has been catching up but we are back at it every Sunday 😉 thanks for your patience

[@albert418]

you seem to miss out on much great fish parts,why?

[@DingleBerryMTB]

Impressive at how long you guys can hold your breath!

[@MrEvarias]

wow your videography above and below water are excellent and your background music matches the action. Also of course Frans lean muscle hourglass figure is exceptional as always... consider doing a full-length adventure movie like two hours and selling it on DVD. I'd buy that many would.

[@mistywallace820]

Yay! A new video! Can’t wait! My 10 year old granddaughter and I love watching together! We’ve both learned a lot! She absolutely loves Fran! She’s ask me to try to get a tee shirt from your merch and have Fran sign is that possible? ❤ hugs from Birmingham Alabama USA! 😊

[@mistywallace820]

We both love you too jack! 😊

[@strickandfran]

Thanks so much to both of you Misty 😍 of course. We ll have them available soon 🥰❤

[@sittinandthinkin]

Is there a turtle breeding season or do they just nest as needs be?

[@TheCrazycrab2]

Super special! I don’t know if most of the KZbin people can appreciate just how awesome it Tis to legally catch a Māori wrasse . Fingers crossed this doesn’t make some amateur think he needs to taste one but hey you can’t control what others do.

[@TheGlobalTravelr]

I’m sitting here saying “wow….wow….wow” to the view…the sharks cruising through the bait fish….the Māori perch. This was epic!

[@pchinnIII]

I really enjoy your videos. Everything is just better, thanks

[@Slaktrax]

Love watching your adventures. What a life!

[@kellywilkins8043]

Beautiful area! Thanks guys!

[@charleswilliams9647]

awesome video guy's. Shout out to Fran for her culinary skill.

[@marcobottenheft913]

Hi there, Enjoy those beautiful islands. We did almost the same tour, from the tip to almost every island till we arrived on Waua We stayed 2 weeks on Waua and Dowar, we where there in 1991, and it looks still good.

[@bigboss-tl2xr]

Absolutely gorgeous! I love starting out my Sundays drenched in beauty!!! Thank you.

[@sparkplug0000]

“Hopefully the sharks don’t bite me….. WEEEEEEEEEEE!” Yep, that pretty much sums up Fran’s personality.

[@stevehammond2016]

Well hello again , thank you for sharing another excerpt of the beautiful areas that you keep finding . I hope all is going well for you and I'll see you next time .
