Ahoy Plukky! 🏴‍☠🔱

[@user-zd7fi1fh6r]

The effort and talent of Margarida is amazing. You're both amazing. Hang on to each other.

[@oceandrew]

The Berkeley river canyon looks amazing... what a glorious spot. Add to that the salt water crocs, waterfalls, rock art and climbing walls and it looks like a chunk of heaven. Having a companion, crewmember, partner in crime like Marguerita along is just the cherry on the cake... boy, her smile just lights up the place. Good on ya, Plukky.

Poor Margarida, Peter may break your bones but he will never break your heart! Cheers from less hot and rainy Florida!

[@stevecrombie5357]

What an awesome place. Margarita is like an energizer bunny, she just keeps on going!! Things seem to be progressing well with Jules out of the way. Thanks Peter.

[@irench]

And what exactly was wrong with Jules. I've nothing against Margarida but there isn't and wasn't nothing wrong with the blondie either. She was probably some of the best spirited crew he's ever had.

[@srqlisa7881]

I can only imagine that waterfall during rainy season it must be a great thing to see. What a great place to camp for awhile and explore. the canyon is fantastic so many beautiful colors. :) peace

[@richardjackson6922]

Catching your videos a little late but I love them and the fun free spirit!!! I wish you both the best in your future trips! God’s speed with your adventures!

[@scoobydo6454]

Awesome location and the rock pool at 13:30 is stunning ! :) Best wishes to Margarita for a quick recovery.

[@alvincay100]

"I'm not filming" LMAO

[@evankolacki8950]

Beautiful video. I liked everything about this one.

[@btdga]

That's some nice looking rock.

[@heavenonearthislove4734]

this is brilliant. another amazing sailing channel on youtube. 100% :) m.

[@rawwhide]

Great rock formation at 13:30

[@RangaPirate]

Who's filming tho?

[@robertbaker1707]

super cool, thanks for the video, nice drone wok!

[@jorgenvanseters7092]

Great episode!!!

[@Rocco0331usmc]

those are some very nice rocks at 6:32

[@mmafan4livet536]

What a beautiful life that must be and you sure make it look easy 🍻

[@velocita8842]

Absolutely beautiful place!

[@geraldinepluyms5935]

You were definitely dumbing down with Margarita. Lisa stimulates you. This was a sign actually of the future

[@rj7411]

Excellent documentary footage Peter. Your eye for beauty is outstanding. Thank you for sharing that cool waterfall, the crawling through the rocks and injured bikini girl on your back scenes with all of the nature lovers out here. Faaar Out!

[@clemyp]

🤣🤣🤣 "how did they talk the wallaby to hopping up there and putting it's paws and "prrfffttzz" that cracked me up big time!! 😂😂😂 good one Plukky 👍 Margarida... mamma mia 😍 Keep up the great work u 2 💪

[@maxellison55]

Margarida is fearless....... And beautiful, which doesn't hurt ;>O

[@craigme2583]

Another great vid. I thought i was the only one who says far-out all the time. Ha ha shows your age. But i godda say thats the only thing that does. You sure keep living like a teenager, dont stop! God I love how Margaretta just keeps on being adventurous. Wow! V rare!! Fun loving fareless girl. Where is she originally from, I should move there. 'Im not filming'. You crack me up. Such a beautiful place, and rare 10 000 year old art in the rocks. Keep on doing what you do Peter. Look after that girl, and fare winds in yr boat 'freedom'.

[@steelem422]

You had a really nice boat it’s too bad you lost it can’t wait to see you in your new one on the water!

[@RocNoggin]

I so want to cruise the Kimberleys. They've been on my "to do" list for a while now.

[@BastienKoert]

Damn, Peter, that is some impressive scenery

[@centuriontunnel]

What a beautiful place. And a few other places 🤣

[@itsmePassportBro]

So tight.

[@SuperJlonergan]

she is such a knockout

[@tbev3363]

I've visited Australia, gorgeous country. Also....no WAY would I go in that water! CROCKS!!!!!

[@friarfox]

After careful thought on the potential of puns on the subject of rock climbing in this case I plead the 5th. Happy trails

[@SailingAquarius]

Great video, awesome views, sorry to see Margarita to get hurt 😞. Get well soon!

[@jdavis.fw303]

Margarita has good taste in music! A quality upgrade for the vlog, didnt mind no music too much but it's a nice addition.

[@garymyers6638]

if you have to tie a harness, don't use the figure 8. There's no waist support and it has a habit of falling down. Do this, take a strap about 12 feet long (for a big guy. a little less for smaller people), find the middle. Tuck the middle into you waist band just enough to hold it. Both trailing ends go down and between your legs. bring each one around to the front of each leg. Weave them under the strap as tucked in the waist band, pull through and go around your back on the same side you weaved under. cross them over in the back and come back to the front. Tie them together with a reef knot (square knot) but not directly in the center (off to one side about 6 inches is fine because you don't want to carabener into the knot area) Grab the around the waist bit and the tucked in the waistband bit together and click in with a carabiner. That's your harness and it won't fall down. This is the old style that the mountain rescue used in the alps before harnesses were widely available. If you need to see it, I can make a video and send it to you.

[@garymyers6638]

what?

[@GregHartSk8er]

Holy cow Gary - yeah I think he must buy some proper gear and a decent helmet or two - delivery for the mail order might be a little tricky however ;-)

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Thanks Gary. A circular strap right?

[@garymyers6638]

SAILING into FREEDOM I typically use flat woven straps for a hasty harness. About an inch wide. But you could use a round strap but normally I'd call that a rope.

[@06Trdrew11]

Great place to visit. Awesome video as always mate 13:30 was an eye opener haha

[@irench]

She's had the google eyes for him since boarding.

[@alvincay100]

Great video. Beautiful place.

[@marklapierre5629]

This is wicked awesome. Again Margarida finds a way to hurt herself.

[@terryzammit7605]

Amazing

[@rstevens3221]

Nice Drone shots!

[@MarvinSn]

Do you think you are able to get Back to The Place where you left „Long Reef“ and Maybe Search her? Just to have a Look what happened to The Beautifull Ship... Very Sad Story. Wish you The best with your New Ship. Greetings from Germany

2000jago Ok. Thank You✌️

Great video

that is some nice water 13:27

[@tomriley5790]

Climbing in jeans is hard - Margarida's got so much guts :-)!

[@brentspang9092]

Great episode! Other than Margarita getting hurt of course.

[@gazoo-pl4nx]

6:38 too funny!

[@hameggs4837]

Great.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Great mate woof woof...getting the hint

[@Jonny_The_Organism]

Crocodile Dundee Territory 🤪🤣😎

[@LAIRD.59]

did anyone see Margarida jump on Peters back topless...ALRIGHT!!..progress!!!..lol

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

WE usually cant film most of the time becuase we are both naked

[@GregHartSk8er]

Seeing those gorges my first thought was yeah!! Deep water soloing paradise - then my second thought was - CROCS! But then with you leading the expedition crocs are the least of Marg's worries mate!! Please get a harness for her or at the very least construct a proper waist belt so she doesnt flip upside down and fall out of the makeshift one. Stick to the orange rock - it looks a LOT more solid, test holds before applying too much weight to them and get yourself a helmet. You two seem like cool people - would hate to see either of you go splat! Its super important for the belayer to wear a helmet at wild crags like that (ones that have not seen climbing traffic and been previously cleaned of loose rock) a mountain guide friend of ours died recently when he fell dislodging a rock that killed his belayer - and then of course there was no-one to stop his fall. Oh well your guardian angels were looking out for you this time (as they are wont to do when we learn things) - take care in future. All the best with your travels - from a long time South African rock climber.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Good advice. Amateurs all the way and a level or 2 below that mostly. Need to get gear. CHeck

[@davidmedley5970]

Love the adventures. Sorry about Longreaf! Who is filming you and Margarida swimming off at the end? What happened to Jules?

[@baronvontourettes]

Looking more like Keith Richards every day

[@frankwyndham9478]

Beautiful footage beautiful girl lucky guy I'd follow that yeah

[@jimmychanga4130]

Was margarida flying the drone at the end?? Lol nicely done

[@cq7415]

Beautiful river rocks at 3:40 in Australia. Pictographs too at 6:00. Thanks.

[@okeanos467]

too bad other girl is gone. but still awesome views.

[@ericdavidson4616]

That's a great women right there

[@mustangsally5901]

Margarida is happily bouncing around those rocks, but isn't there a lot of critters in Australia that will kill you? I had a guide tell me once its faster to go over the critters that won't do you in than to list the things that will do you in. Still it's a beautiful place, did a number of biological studies there in the 1980s. Love the channel thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

[@willphelps6715]

I think we need to have Child Services interview Margarida. These "accidents" are happening all to frequently.

[@somewheresalty]

Aboriginal grinding stone missing???? From Casuarina Hike??? just behind the Boab tree???

[@michaelsenior7858]

Crikey ..my heart was in my mouth all time watching this video ...I will have to give it a try swimming in a river with a 5 metre Croc ... well I might let the mother in law go first ....

[@grancito2]

Send mine with her.

[@kbe7368]

Their swimming in freshwater no salty crocs

[@grancito2]

KBKAN. Salty crocks live in fresh water miles from the sea, it is the best place to catch animals that come to drink.

[@kbe7368]

Croc Dundee said it in the movie !!! Tis written, there for TRUE !!! Nah jk, but they not in the pools on top of waterfall ? Climbing crocs ?

[@grancito2]

You are probably right, so long as there is no croc track to the pond.

[@garymyers6638]

Did Margarita ever get her ankle examined? The swell in a ball shape like that suggests a bursa rupture but could also indicate a bone fragment separated from the main bones.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Bugger!

[@wanambi8553]

Plukky you are they most happiest getting a wife or girlfriend like Margarida. Did you really marry her as you told several episodes before. If not you should do it. It's nice to see one good side of the Desaster. As I know that you love the Germans there is one old saw in the Cologne area, "Nothing is that bad to not be good for anything". All the best Tom

[@divebigblue]

Awesome. Stop hurting the wife dude!

[@robertlaird6746]

What brand is that aluminum dinghy and how much does it weigh?

Are we there yet?

[@mounfred]

Where you are?

[@frankd2301]

What a f•••ing beautiful spot. What's it like in rainy season?

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Hot and wet

[@DavidBrown-uv5ht]

How did you get the aerial footage at the end Peter? The drone was tracking you in path and picture but no-one was on the remote. Does it have a 'follow me' setting perhaps? Excellent episode btw. How on earth can 6 people 'dislike' it, I'll never know.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

I am glad it follows cos i would have lost it about 12 times by now

[@jeffreysearle2996]

It's swollen alright, her foot too

[@runemartinguldberg9056]

No goodbye scene with jules.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

YEah we stuffed up..it was all rushed

[@GuyCruls]

without image stabilisation on your camera/smartphone the image is choppy, and we can’t focus on the rock art; at least linger on one single image for a few seconds!

[@steviefordranger198]

The large dog like painting looked like a Thylacine.

[@craigme2583]

Stevie FordRanger were there Thylacines that far north?

[@thomasanderson1783]

Im a new sub. Do you have any vids with crocs in them? Sightings or what not

[@brentspang9092]

A few videos back they spotted some crocs

[@mounfred]

I like your catamaran he s fun What s tous price ?

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Not worth anything now I am afraid

[@runemartinguldberg9056]

Apparent or true wind speed?

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Apparent

[@glensR33]

Sailor found a wife ;)

[@RobertPowell3]

Wait, so y’all can record the boat sinking , but not of jules leaving ? Does she have an IG?

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

It was a bit rushed and I was distracted

[@RobertPowell3]

The boat sinking didn’t distract you. Does she have social media ? Does Jules have social media ?

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

At the time she left we were rushed and I was distracted then at that time. Complicated obviously

[@RichardGetzPhotography]

why are all your vids 720p and not 4K?

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Because my computer is old as f..... and it cant handle anything else...it just seizesup....Your next question may be why don't you buy a better one.... it is on the list my friend but there are many things on the list

How does one know where they can swim without being eaten by an animal?

[@ivanflego8106]

Dorkchop , the saltwater crocs can't climb up the waterfalls

[@kennypowers17]

Ivan Flego Right, but can they be coming from on top? There were several pools.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Get someone else to go in first

[@kennypowers17]

SAILING into FREEDOM Makes perfect sense!

[@JointFive]

Why are you swimming, but won't climb above a lower ledge?

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Why not its all good

[@Pfsif]

How do you know that the water falls you bath in and drink aren't polluted by running through a town without proper sewage treatment?

[@tim_bbq1008]

Or a dead kangaroo in the water 1000m upstream?

[@MrSmithToday]

Thats why people have helmets.

[@runemartinguldberg9056]

That climbing harness was totally unsafe. Dont take easy on things you dont know how to manage.

One long selfie after another is an enormous ego booster but bad for likes and subscribers .

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

YEah we need to buy equipment to fix that but some thing bad happened and we lost all of the rather ordinary equipment that we had. Maybe try another channel with more equipment

[@tomellis5683]

SAILING into FREEDOM Or maybe you could just turn the camera around.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

OR maybe I could get Margarida to do it. I am working on it but thanks for the advice
