Ep3-What Is It Like to Live On a Catamaran at Bora Bora? Are We Crazy?

[@oreospeedwaggindoesamerica6078]

Thanks for the link on how to spring off the dock I’ll be watching a lot of those too!

[@astratton4524]

Bora Bora is stunning! Nice 'spring off' guys. Looking forward to the next episode!

[@nealswanepoel8745]

Good luck on your first voyage. Hopefully it goes well.Love Paige.

[@demers100]

Most sailing VLOG's adventure sail with the ultimate destination being the French Polynesians. You are very lucky to be starting from there... beautiful. Good luck with the channel, you are certainly starting with the right boat, and I'm enjoying the newness and wide-eyed approach to your adventure.

[@jyzilvz]

Yogis smile and excitement was so infectious 👌☺

[@catamaranmentor]

Aww that’s nice 😊 I like it too.

[@RigbyScott]

Looks like you're having an amazing start to your cruising life!

[@catamaranmentor]

[@BRADH-xw8sw]

Wishing you guys safe passage fair seas and calm winds and can’t wait for the next stop and especially the on land adventures!

[@catamaranmentor]

Thanks that’s nice thoughts and feedback. It took us about five years once we really started to get serious about it. But half a life time before that also.

[@pirimusic]

Fair lick of the dunny brush mate haha but in real life I am from New Zealand

[@yeyepp]

Hi, I'm subscriber 315. Half crazy to the prepared side👍👍👍

[@catamaranmentor]

Haha glad you thought so. I suppose if I couldn’t have reached a certain level of confidence I would have had to change the plan. More info on our actions in the next episode. Thanks for subscribing 315! :)

[@philandlyra3365]

Very nice, wish I bet money on what video it was that you watched, haha, the legendary Distant Shores

[@catamaranmentor]

Yes I linked Distant Shores in the comments. Before setting out I watched KZbin sailing channels for about five years. Love Delos La Vaga and Gone With The Whyns.

[@philandlyra3365]

Peter Rollo add Nahoa, Nandji to that list and that’s my top 5 . Really excited for you, it’s also a distant dream of mine,

[@chrisbeesfc]

Great video, you're living my dream, hope to join you in a few years when I retire. We spend a lot of time on the water being from Louisiana, just not full time. Question, why did you have to 'Spring off" when you have twin motors?

[@catamaranmentor]

Twin motors still don’t make Coco go side ways or I don’t know how haha and we had a slight breeze pushing us onto the dock.

[@SailingREHAB]

Hey well done M8. Its GR8 to see adventurous people getting out there. Can u please tell me how u managed to secure insurance for the boat with zero offshore experience ? What was the cost involved ? Thx ~ Paul

[@catamaranmentor]

Hey hey I sent the insurance a list of my previous power boating experience and told the insurance I would get training. We just got three half days training. I had done multi day costal trips in my power boat which taught me a lot.

[@simonkingsamurai]

Hi, just past by your video....do u plan to sail to Malaysia ?

[@catamaranmentor]

Hi yes we plan to go everywhere well almost haha

[@simonkingsamurai]

Once sail by Malaysia let me know ,I join your sail from Langkawi to Penang or Pulau pangkor ....

[@oreospeedwaggindoesamerica6078]

Now I’m like you and watching all of these sailing channels like you did and looking forward to buying a boat. So what’s it like going from the couch to the catamaran after watching for so long?!!

[@catamaranmentor]

Quite surreal at times. And a lot of work running the boat compared to watching on the couch haha

[@oreospeedwaggindoesamerica6078]

Peter Rollo I’ve been watching the Wynns and their vlogs have made me realize it’s going to be some serious work and money.

[@donacardenasHomes]

Just found your channel and I am enjoying it so far. Jealous but happy that you are enjoying your life now instead of waiting. You’ll get the questions often enough about did you get a loan or pay outright for the boat? That may answer the insurance question someone else asked. Also, what was your budget when you were shopping? And where did you get your courage to take a long passage right away? 😂 Good job and travel safe.

[@catamaranmentor]

Going to do a question and answer session in a few episodes time. Stay tuned 😎

[@l3x1enc26]

Did it all go wrong from Bora Bora. Did you guys ever make it. Hope you did

[@catamaranmentor]

Yip we made it to Nz via Tonga. The next episode is up for when depart Bora Bora for you to watch.

[@l3x1enc26]

@@catamaranmentor good to hear you made it. Look forward to watching the next episode. Stay safe.

[@bryanwatt9751]

Nice spring! I think much easier on a (curvy) monohull.

[@catamaranmentor]

Yeah good point

[@tigershark_holic]

Hey bro ,! I know your very new for sailing even if you say once you were fisherwoman that fish your feeding is not kind a like barkuda it’s remora all so please don’t feed the fish you need to lean little bit more about fish life if you wanna be good sailer. Take your time you’ll get there as a tip please install a HD camera on top of your mast so you see far up your head when you want sail in shallow water or passing trough channels Hope to meet you in Maldives

[@jjohnbrown1221]

Look into an electric trolling motor to use as a bow thruster. With that one person could of safely did that launch. The trollimg motor can also be used on dingy to fish mangroves..

[@ullle66]

So where is it??? Your next episode?...

[@jersonjim3605]

Do you have any experienced sailing before?

[@catamaranmentor]

I sailed a little when I was 13 years old. Then a lot of day trip power boating and fishing. Then when I brought a larger power boat that taught me chart plotters and radar. Did a few multi day trips around the coast etc then brought Coco. Thanks

[@AndrewYPTang]
