Dusty WASTELAND or Island PARADISE?? [EP 158] Exploring Canary Islands

In this week's episode we explore Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. This massive rocky wasteland could be confused for Mars and so we set off to explore the most off the beaten path locations here!
While this place is very arid and dry, it is strangely beautiful and

Guys this is phenomenal. "Magnificent desolation" to quote a certain moonwalker. The editing and music is amazing. Thank you so much, for sharing. I could have watched 2 hours of that and the post experience commentary in the car was touching. You've upped your game without a doubt. Stay safe youngsters.

[@johnsanford48]

You could name your next boat "The Road Less Travelled" but what I love is the way you share the adventure with each other and then with us - Thank you !

[@Garryck-1]

"The Road Less Travelled" would surely have to be awarded to Sailing Uma. But these two are another of my favourite sailing couples!

[@dennisfromoz6436]

That location is such an oddity, and something I'd never believe without your coverage...thanks guys.

[@stephenroskilly3737]

That moonscape was just stunning.

[@freedomrider30]

What a amazing year for you two!!! Thank you both for sharing. I don't watch tv anymore. I watch you and the others. Good on ya!!! Legends!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎

[@JoanOfArgghh]

The primordial beauty is gobsmacking. What does one say that is sufficient to describe it? You've done a helluva good job at taking us along!

[@peterdavis2233]

Once again, a great job. Wonderful photography, great storytelling, excellent editing and commentary. So much fun to watch your adventures.

[@BohemianBeatster]

You two are such adventurers. Forever searching for the unknown, unusual, off the beaten path, and sometimes a little scary or dangerous. I love your openness to try something new. This sailing adventure, mainly on land was fun and exciting to follow. The moonscape was brilliant and the Spanish food looked tasty. All and all another great episode. You're just so cute together. Stay groovy and stay safe,

[@RodRosenberg]

Checking in...hope all is well!

[@p-dubya]

Those ‘crop circles’ were fantastic!! The cave was incredible!! Tapas lunch looked delish!! Merry Christmas 🎄 you two!!

It is so much fun traveling along with you. Thank you.

Absolutely STUNNING videography.Took my breath away. Thanks so much guys for your wonderful laughter and great episode x

Thanks once more for letting us travel vicariously through you.

Australia definitely produces super duper fantabulisious ladies. You are gorgeous!

[@Garryck-1]

Well, to be fair, Khiara was born in the UK. But Australia has definitely put the finishing polish on her!

A most undersubscribed and underrated sailing channel. Thank you for another wonderful vid.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Thank you! ☺️

[@markloukko2197]

Thanks for putting a smile of my face. Best Christmas present ever. Keep it up you two.

[@Sailor-Dave]

"Cockies?" LOL! Khiara, you are a wonder. You have the uncanny ability to see a wind-blasted desert moonscape, and make us see the unique beauty of it. Great philosophy at 14:30...getting more juice for the squeeze.

[@sailing_life]

Hope everything okay on your end guys :) seems ages since an instalment of my favourite sailing channel

[@kristaready8812]

You are definitely living your lives to the fullest and thanks for sharing it with those of us who are unable to do so at the moment due to covid, illness, finances, disability, age whatever it may be. You two are great! Thank you for your wonderful vlogs!

[@BillChild2njoy]

"So much more fruit for the squeeze" excellent and I never hear this before. Brilliant!!!!

[@Garryck-1]

I think that was "So much more *juice* for the squeeze"...

A wonderful adventuring couple such as yourselves need not apologize; I'm happy to go to any missed sunset with you.

Trippy place...'love seeing you having a good time in your adventuring dance together...Highest Blessings

I am glad the plug trick is an international hack. Growing up my good friend had a 16.4 meter fishing boat with 150hp outboard. While he sat at the helm manning the wheel and throttle, I would be in charge of pulling and replacing the plug. This was our lazy man's way of bailing the boat after a heavy rainfall. Works like a charm!!

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Haha, good to hear others do this too! I’ll admit that our dinghy is getting to the ‘swimming pool look’ stage and it’s a wee bit harder to get on that initial plane! 😆😬

[@juans3728]

May you both have a Peaceful Merry Christmas, Peace.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Merry Christmas too! 🎄🥳

[@BillChild2njoy]

And "Cockies" maybe an Exclamation i adopt.. love it!!❣

I really love this video. It is so authentic and you have some great footage of some wonerful landscapes. Thank you for sharing your journey and yourselves. I really appreicate you. Joe

Thank you! Reading comments like yours makes me want to film and edit better vids! So thank you for your lovely comment! 😊

[@timothysmith2128]

another great adventure, and yes, you were the first and shared it with the world. yay. On to another.

[@RoyClare]

There I was, thinking: "wow, just wow ... pro level docu making, right here ... ". Then: " ...oh, no, make a U-turn at the next .... " 😂 But seriously guys, you're clearing that high bar, up there with the very best. Have the best Christmas ... and can't wait for your 2022 adventures. 😎

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Haha, I don’t think we’ll ever be able to produce a documentary type video… we have way too many whoopsie moments that we want to include! But I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊 have a fantastic holiday 🎄🎄

[@richardroth8087]

Wow. What an eye-full. Loved it.

[@terrytomlinson8772]

Keep enjoying your adventures - they are a joy to follow

[@truman42746]

Great video! What a strange but beautiful place. It looks just like pictures from the Mars rovers. Great camera and drone footage!

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Volcanic rocks over what might have been older sandstones.. but they are there because of the Geologically recent volcanic activity.

[@MrBobVick]

Spent 4 years at sea working on Black Douglas rented one car & one motor bike in those 4 years, so though sailed to many of the places you have, generally just saw the towns. So appreciate you showing me what I messed 45 years later & no worries about the sun set.

Thank you for sharing those beautiful places

[@1jeffcan]

Wow it’s stunning there. Thanks for the tour.

[@BillChild2njoy]

"There are as many horizons as there are places to stand" Bill Child... I made this up hiking one day far from the trail head and your discussion on of anyone had ever sailed this particular spot of ocean before made me think of it.

[@SailingSunday]

Haha! I know the feeling of the leaking dinghy.. It took hundreds of times taking Jackson to shore at 6am in the middle of winter and dozens on patches before we finally had ours fixed properly.😒😆 Now it’s Bliss!

[@duncan.5228]

Thank you Adam for sharing your beautiful wife with the world. You two were made for each other.

[@yachtlaina1304]

Adam is right, Mont Blanc is also a mountain in France. Did you notice how wind blown the palm trees are. Even on a calm day they are frozen into blowing-a-hooley pose.

[@TheNextLife]

Hay where did you guys go. I loved my weekly update........3 weeks....I'm in withdrawal. I hope your all fine and every things ok.

[@garyfroeschner2523]

good stuff

[@BillChild2njoy]

And yet to continue my quote " there are as many horizons as there are places to stand" ... And yet... there is but ONE Earth on which to stand. When we take ourselves to Earths center and look up.. there is but ONE continuous horizon on the surfaces sphere above and in All directions. This is the new perspective we need first hinted at when an Earthing first saw the full half of the planet from space .. You two are always trying to help us see this same more central perspective from the spheres surface of many horizons sought and crossed ..... And there are certainly more horizons than just found on one planet or star .... I've heard it tell that our galaxy, one of many is on an expanding balloon shape with no real center to stand at. A donut also has no physical center to its dimensions... And thus every speck of place in the Universe can be considered the center. Where we each stand is the center... Not to become to heady about that .. it is pretty cool. Like the Sun shines a path across the water to each of us the samev no matter how many stand upon the shore. Nice right?

[@BillChild2njoy]

The Cosmis as the balloon started from one point and expanded ...every point from the first moving out the same losing just the one as center in the expansion.. thinking on the run here.

you should go for fried octopus on small near the beach town, where locals eat. Been there some time ago. World class.

Are you guys on Holiday ? Or walk about, lol .

[@sanchiaparker3730]

They posted this message on the YT community page a couple of weeks ago! :) "Where have the Millennial Falcons gone you ask! Well, Some time ago over on the other socials we announced the commencement of our Atlantic crossing. This crossing also happened to coincide with our annual "take some time off to get some footage back in the pipe for the new year" break. Suffice it to say we've had a few hiccups in our progress and we are currently on an unplanned stop in Cape Verde for repairs. All is well and we are almost back on track! when we make it to the other side we will get our ducks back in a row and recommence our regularly schedules shennanigans. We've got an exciting year of sailing and projects ahead and we cant wait to share it with you all! Special thanks to those of you who took the time to reach out and check up on us. We feel very loved! In the meantime you can track our progress on our website sailingmillennialfalcon.com/ and see all the behind the scenes discussion over on Patreon. www.patreon.com/Sailingmillen... Cheers!

Well I’ve been missing my Millennial friends. I hope all is well and you are deep into a fun adventure and doing well? If not and things are not well, let us know what to pray for.

[@sanchiaparker3730]

They were crossing the Atlantic! If you go to “community” on their KZbin page you can see they posted that they arrived safely!

[@sanchiaparker3730]

To everyone asking where they are, the posted on their KZbin community tab that they are currently crossing the Atlantic. So I’d say they don’t have any internet service or anything for a while.

[@BirdDog.]

Crossing to where? Are they going back to the Caribbean? I hope so because Sailing in the tropics is so much better the Europe

[@sanchiaparker3730]

They crossed from Portugal to BVS! They actually posted a comment in the community tab on KZbin to say they arrived safely!

The funnels around the plants may be to collect what water there is.

[@richardstott7777]

The vines are growing in fertile soil that was there before the most recent eruption. They are watered by cloud & fog droplets captured by the wall round the pit. Very little rain but often there is cloud covering the peaks. They explain it on the tourist volcano trips.
