[@simply.healthy]

Love your honesty. keep up the good work. Looking forward to next video

[@catamaranmentor]

Thanks

[@catamaranmentor]

Next video is the first day of the month

[@PopsGG]

I could have gone without seeing a bucket full of vomit, but the rest of the video was pretty good. Thanks!

[@tonycottier]

Me too, Yogi’s face and the bucket were enough to paint the picture 🤢

[@GeoffreywBlee-qs7zu]

Peter your living my dream, always wanted to do it but age and money are beating me. So I’m watching you and living it, thank you.

[@catamaranmentor]

Thanks that means a lot glad to help out. Welcome aboard to our Couch Crew 🤗 look forward to going around the world with you thru technology.

[@atdepth]

You guys are great. I find your videos far more realistic than many other such channels here on youtube. I am enjoying watching as I am serious crusing the world on a similar Cat as my next phase. I love the real life view.

[@catamaranmentor]

That’s cool, have you purchased yet?

[@glenpeters955]

Your first overnight passage is a huge event and one that you will remember forever. You will soon learn that food always tastes so much better when you are out cruising. Congratulations on your travels so far and the many more miles to come. Stay safe and have fun.

[@garryjones7893]

G'day Yogi & Pete! Loving your fun in the sun. Great video! Your China plates, Gaz (the Aussie) & Minerva (Nubian queen). You guys are learning fast. Cheers!

[@catamaranmentor]

Haha it’s funny what people notice, China plates. Some real glasses have already been broken and replaced with the nice version of plastic. Thanks for watching

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍Thanks for sharing. 💝 Makes me realize I will have to have help...I won’t be able to do it alone. 😔

[@catamaranmentor]

Solo passage making is possible but only for people who want a more extreme level of adventure and hold massive amounts of experience and self reliance. Coco could even be sailed solo.

[@LovingAtlanta]

Peter Rollo - 👍Good to know, thanks.🤗

[@IsThisAvailable550]

Building memories..... As time goes by, you'll reflect on these videos with a big smile on your faces, I'm sure. Fair winds & safe passages.

[@catamaranmentor]

It’s even crazy looking back when editing later but imagine watching the videos in 30 years time...,

[@sailingsvsalacia8398]

Cool stuff right here. We're in the beginning stages of starting a similar journey of our own. I would encourage Yogi to grab a camera and just start talking to it when she's on watch so other couples aspiring to go sailing can get the woman's perspective. I know my wife would like to see that. As you know it can be a little wierd first starting off filming yourself. Just reassure her you're not going to use 99% of what gets recorded. You guys are doing great. We hope to see you on the water one day!

[@catamaranmentor]

Hi thanks, that’s a good point. You will see a lot more of Yogi coming up when she takes the lead presenter when we go cooking with the locals in Tonga 😎 see you out here

[@michielvandiermen9754]

Great to see, go for the adventure! Full in! Ejoy!

[@petersmith8134]

Just subscribed and started watching your vids. Your going great. Looking forward to the next one.

[@qatarsailor7727]

Nice episode, nice couple, congratulations for the boat well done 👍

[@matthunt3930]

Great stuff 😀

[@sailingdiscoverypassage]

Subscribed! I love your straight-up honest videos and look forward to the next one. I've recently got the sailboat bug, but my wife suffers from motion sickness and she's also claustrophobic, so I'm living the dream through your travels!

[@catamaranmentor]

Thanks great feedback. That’s what we are here for. And a little secret couch sailing can be better than boat maintenance and weather decisions and lack of sleep etc...

[@nickgillon2625]

Hi guys , Just watched your travels to date and subbed. I'm liking the rawness of your determination to set out for the wide expanses of the ocean with limited experience and learning as you go. It takes a brave person to do what you two are doing. Good luck and fair winds .

[@catamaranmentor]

Or a little crazy, we did do a lot to lesson risks with being newish which I will cover in future episodes. Thanks for joining our Couch Crew at home.

[@garyhawkesford2253]

Hi Pete & Yogi oh! Sorry the wee one too lol Hope your all well just watching this upload again and wondering when you'll be back on the water again?

[@catamaranmentor]

Hi Gary, we are on the water and filming and just have a editor starting so all going well we might be able to do weekly videos. Lots of action coming soon.

[@garyhawkesford2253]

@@catamaranmentor Glad to know your all safe n well. Look forward to seeing you on the water again.Thanx Pete

[@nealswanepoel8745]

Well done !

Just subscribed! I look forward to watching your adventures. Good luck, from California.

[@catamaranmentor]

Welcome aboard to our Couch Crew

[@airplanetalk]

Just subscribed. I’ve watched your other episodes and enjoyed them. You too are very nice. Just a suggestion for attracting more people who either sail or wannabe sailors or just plain interested in sailing and/or traveling, please consider changing the name of your channel to sailing...maybe the name of your boat or your partner even..sailing yogi! Those searching for new channels to watch will find it easier on search. I’ll try to share with my friends as well. Take care and cheers you two. Look forward to your next video. Fair winds and following seas.

[@catamaranmentor]

Aww such a nice comment and thanks for helping build the channel. Naming a business or a brand can be quite hard. There are many very successful businesses brands and KZbin channels named after the creator /founder and maybe helps people know me as me. However I like the sailing Yogi suggestion. Yogi does have a cool name. Will keep your suggestion in mind. Next episode coming this week:)

[@amitchakraborty1757]

Peter, your videos are quite basic but I've hit the subscribe button just a way to show my support, and to tell you that you are doing a great job of keeping a vlog, considering how new you are to this whole sailing thing. Like everything else, in time you and yogi will become great sailors and videographers and I look forward to awesome videos shot at awesome locations. Love from across the Tasman.

[@catamaranmentor]

Thanks welcome aboard lots of adventures to come.

[@Sawasdeekat]

Great video! We're just a little bit jealous, the views are fantastic.

[@catamaranmentor]

Thanks you will be out here soon enough.

[@Sawasdeekat]

@@catamaranmentor we certainly hope so. There was a cat in Australia we liked but were already on holiday in Thailand. Sadly they wanted a contract signed and deposit paid before we could fly from Thailand to look at it. We couldn't raise the deposit whilst on holiday so couldnt. Shame as we really liked it. It sold a couple of weeks later.

[@farzana6676]

@@Sawasdeekat Thailand is such amazing place to retire.

[@jyzilvz]

You learn manual steering really quickly when your auto pilot does shit itself. Then you make sure your auto pilot never craps out again, especially not without some sort of back up 🙄😂 Am loving hearing the STRONG kiwi accent!

[@catamaranmentor]

I was quite nervous about having the autopilot fail. Going fit a second one as back up before I depart Nz. Sailing short handed we really do rely on it.

[@catamaranmentor]

Lol the Kiwi accent we can’t really talk proper english....need to go back to school eh bro

[@b.p.7794]

I just finished watching your video what it's like to live on a catamaran. I enjoyed it it seems like you just started Sailing by your videos about 6 months ago. A few questions I'm thinking about doing the same thing buying about the same size boat as what you have. I've driven motor boats 20 feet long. And I did that for a number of years but that's the extent of my experience in the water. I've never ever sailed. I'd like to know what it's like the bird to manoeuvre a boat that size in length and and width.

[@catamaranmentor]

First 15 times birthing in a marina or fuel dock friggin scary! Feeling better at it now.

[@marciavanniekerk671]

Love the app you used to translate, please let me know which one you used. Thanks

[@catamaranmentor]

The google translate 👍

[@anilmadgavkar6769]

great job, considering you were complete novices. Well done.

[@catamaranmentor]

Thanks will talk about the experience in a more interview style episode coming soon.

[@lipsee100]

There no better sound in a morning then bacon cooking,,,, Tell Yogi to go back to bed ,one hour is not enough... Good luck and well done

[@catamaranmentor]

Yes not a lot of sleep at times with only two on board but we also got to give and take a bit when one of us really needed rest. See you in the next episode

[@SailingREHAB]

Luv your Leopard. What year is it ? And what sort of money do u pay for a boat like that ?

[@catamaranmentor]

2013 they range from 500usd upwards

[@b.p.7794]

Check out boat dealers.ca. from there you'll find others. Just Catamarans in Floida comes to mind. They'll range in price depending on the work you want to do. Or are willing to do. Happy hunting.

[@bobwalker8029]

you go you good things you kia kaha

[@danielsailors6644]

Don't forget to put jacklines on your boat, women are afraid to have you on deck at night and fall overboard. She wakes up and you are gone

[@catamaranmentor]

Yes we have those and sailing short handed I use them as very scared of that risk. You will see that in the next episode.

[@theturnerfamily3758]

Probably a stupid question but i'm not a sailor why don't you anchor at night and just travel in daylight?

[@daveatticus1018]

When on passage its not really possible, because the water is too deep. Most boats would not carry much more than 100m of chain for their anchor and given that many areas of the pacific can be up to 4000m deep. Technically they could "heave to" which is a way of setting up the boat so it drifts in a certain way against the wind. The down side of this is that you go downwind, meaning extra days to travel to get where you are going. Most sailors would only heave to, in a storm as a safer way to survive and reduce sails that are likely to be ripped. Generally sailors want to reduce their time at sea, because it reduces exposure to storms and inclement weather. Additionally there are things like food stores & fuel to think of. Hope that covers your question

[@catamaranmentor]

Thanks Dave better answer than I would have given. Mark happy to have a non sailor watching. You might like the Tonga episodes more coming soon as that’s focused more on travel location.

[@theturnerfamily3758]

@@daveatticus1018 That was great thank you

[@HalfmanHalfmarsbar]

@@daveatticus1018 Helpful, non snarky comments on You Tube! Love it! I'm also just commenting to help out the algorithm. Well done guys.

[@farzana6676]

@@daveatticus1018 I see one of the main problems all these boaters have is looking for a nice anchor location and protecting against the elements and having enough depth not to run aground. It is constantly on their minds and sometimes they drift with an anchor at the bottom and need to change location. I wonder if in future, they could design some kind of bow thrusters etc, and a computer just works constantly to keep the boat at a single precise GPS coordinate without any anchor required. If you know about aviation, the F117 nighthawk, due to its stealth design would simply fall out of the sky without computers making thousands of constant adjustments to the control inputs(even during pilot operation) to keep it in level flight. I wonder if something similar can be designed for marine vessels to keep them in one place?

[@rossgibson3631]

Hi did you guys do a skippers course before leaving NZ ? And what about boat insurance was that a mission. Ross

[@catamaranmentor]

No we did not. We got three half days training in Tahiti after purchase by a local charter captain dude. Insurance was happy with that plus my pre existing power boating experience. Will talk about this all a lot more in an episode some stage soon.

[@mynomadxperience5380]

What app were you using to translate?

[@catamaranmentor]

Just google translate app

[@graemepiper7425]

You should change your channel name to say, "from down under to wounder" or something like that. Ps no music while you are talking or very low. Cheers
