Our Wild Sail Across The South Pacific: 12 DAYS AT SEA (Expedition drenched S1 Ep. 4)

[@ExpeditionDrenched]

If you love it give it a thumbs up 👍 ⛵️We are trying to figure out where to go next.... if you could go anywhere in the South Pacific. Where would it be? Or where have you been that is a must?🌊

[@ThatYoutubebloke]

Expedition Drenched forget the heat and boring places; sail to Canada’s west coast..... once you experience Desolation Sound, you well never want to leave. I will talk the wife into getting you free moorage for a week at the resort

[@ThatYoutubebloke]

PS lots of Second hand stores here for Ocean

Tuvalu before climate change makes it uninhabitable.

[@randygilmour]

Expedition Drenched Your one of the best dive channels on KZbin. That’s should be your next destination, the closest great dive. 😎

[@pudd1nG]

@@fvanheest1 This is the answer without going very far east from where you are now. Plenty of great stops along the way too.

[@ShaschaZolochevskaya]

Oceane! You're a soldier! Drama occurred with you, but you have the most calm eyes and face! I hope you're healthy and cheerful! Hugs!

[@tdonachie]

You’re still my Hero, Oceane!!

[@oldtriumphrider3514]

Thinking of Oceane ! Hope she will continue with Sylvia ...

[@tomwilliams8675]

I second that thought. She's too valuable to let go.

[@englishmaninfrance661]

Sylfia bro. :)

[@maxmillion4216]

Get well Oceane!! Hope you will be able to continue when you heal, because they need you.

[@randygilmour]

Wow what a trooper Oceane is. Keep us posted about her recovery. All the best to all the crew. 😎

[@Richardsmith5280]

That's living! And when your still young. Doing it backwards. I applaud you all.

[@randythorne4401]

Thank you Thank you for putting the date time and location on your video's, the closer to real time the better. Something about videos that are 6 months behind takes away from mentally joining in the adventure. Fair winds my friends, I'm green through and through watching, I hope to sail and complete a passage some day, I'm 67 now and just became a widower, so it moved up on my bucket list. Cheers Mates!

[@agc812]

I and hundreds of others wish you a speedy recovery, Oceane.

[@davidc6510]

The video shots of the sky at 3:45 am were amazing! Great camera gear you all have. Nate what an amazing time you got to spend with your mom! A wounded crew member in the middle of no where is rough. So glad it does not appear to be life threatening! Get well quick Oceana

[@christinestange4813]

Yes ...... Amir has summarized it perfectly. Takes a high level of emotional intelligence. Time for shear, complete frivolity is over. Please keep us posted on Oceane's progress in healing 🙏

[@SteveWrightNZ]

You are right, but the chance of escaping frivolity on that ship is near nil, dangerously..

[@christinestange4813]

@@SteveWrightNZ It's a learning curve 😐

[@SteveWrightNZ]

@@christinestange4813 I don't think that is the current road map. Having said that, I'm pretty pleased I didn't buy this ship after their little demo of it.

[@dustman96]

Best wishes Oceane. Hope you are still going to be sailing on Sylfia, you are my favorite person aboard(everyone is pretty cool). Thanks for another good episode.

[@jedi201]

Awesome vlog, hope Ocean's injury is not to bad and she heals soon. Greetings from South Africa.

[@defel1]

Congrats on your first passage! At one point poor Nate looked like a rag-tag wookie. Sorry about Oceane’s injury.

[@hippiehillape]

Wookiee... had to be that guy

[@whyno713]

Watching Sylfia under way in the open ocean under roughish conditions is quite a sight. On the one hand, she's forging ahead like a champ, and on the other she's keeping you guys&gals warm & comfy inside.🌬 ⛵🛌

[@errolG68]

Just wanted to tell you I noticed you guys had used a candle. Please guys an open Flame 🔥 in yacht that rolls all over the place is extremely DANGEROUS. Enjoy safe sailing Thanks your videos are great

[@buffalobob2002]

No thumbs up until we get a full report on how Oceane is doing.

[@allenshepherd8705]

I appreciate the logbook entries.

[@CorwynGC]

I was hoping you guys would get some more experience before the inevitable life-threatening situation came up. Be well Oceane.

[@marting5508]

Oh no! Poor Oceane! I hope she'll recover soon and continue sailing on Sylfia.

[@MaShcode]

With experience comes a truer understanding of each individuals contribution to the arc of the mission. Y'all are changed.

[@horizonized]

Thanks for taking us with you.

[@MrK2nn]

I hope all the best for Oceane, and a speedy recovery... May the wind be forever in your sails!

[@doncarson5887]

Never a dull moment!! I enjoy all the different personalities on board.

[@patricesavard366]

Prompt rétablissement Océane! 2 crewmembers down :(. Hopefully, everything will get better! Enjoy your stay at the far end of the world!

[@billvandenouden7302]

Awesome video as always so cool the adventure you guys are taking I'm still not understanding why anybody would give you a thumbs down I guess they just don't get what's all involved in doing what you guys are doing peace Vegas bill

[@ceschias3733]

Guys, you need to video more dives and places, there is to much inboat life in videos without soap opera, that's good but not to be a large %'s. I am saying that because I love you guys and I want to see that subscriber number go fast to 1 million viewers. Love from Antigua Guatemala.

[@ExpeditionDrenched]

Oooooh we agree The next 6 episodes all have diving in them

[@paulnewson3425]

waking up and watching this was almost as good as waking up in a hammock on Sylfia.. Get well Oceane! thanks for the video and congratulations to all of you.WOW what a passage!

[@Mr12A13]

Followed the Drenched team leave Delos to start this adventure. I feel you guys have shown great courage to follow a vision/dream. You’ve invited some true characters to join and have created something encapsulating true adventure into the unknown. I eagerly await your episodes so please keep sharing the full spectrum of crew and perspectives! Good luck and trust what you do is appreciated and admired! - remember life is to enjoy not endure!

[@MissJudyJetson]

Hope Oceane is okay! Other then that another great video. Can't wait to see the next one.

[@Jeap1969]

the photography on your videos is exceptional!!! i like it a lot

[@thechaplain9906]

“Motley Crew Part Deux: The Misadventures of Sylfia; Oceane getting injured, Will chopping at a coconut with a machete while in his hand, the Mrs. getting trapped in the cabin(hope there’s an emergency exit elsewhere in an emergency), Grandma “driving” not piloting the vessel, and we won’t mention that “diesel thang”...😂 Thanks for the entertainment. We’re watching while peeking through our fingers. BE SAFE Y’ALL

[@Jon-Jon-Jon-Jon]

Amazing episode as always guys! I can only imagine how satisfying and relieving it must feel to reach land after a trip like this!

[@pmnmd62]

Wow, looked like it was really painful for the whole crew those last few days. Glad Ocean didn’t get hurt any worse but it must have been very scary knowing that there was no way to get help if you needed it in an emergency. Whew!

[@ExpeditionDrenched]

It was a roller coasters of emotions for sure She’s doing great 🥰 -Nate

[@M-Swede]

@@ExpeditionDrenched Hopefully, the crew is interested in learning basic first aid if they haven't already. My wife is a Nurse and has mended more than one gash on my arms and legs. Best wishes guys!

[@ExpeditionDrenched]

M Swede Jordan & Nate are emergency First responders 🚨 & Dee is a former nurse. The doctors said we did a very good job immobilizing it, icing and elevating. Would of been great having a doctor or nurse on board for sure 🥰

[@padraicmchale]

Congratulations on the first of many successful passages. It is a delight to be able to follow along. Hugs to Oceane, get well soon.

[@juanvargas2776]

Oceane, wet well soon and hope you return to the crew! Papua Guinea!

[@kennyteague173]

Great video! I love the little taste of everything...mystery, danger, suspense, joy and sadness. This one has it all!

[@saucygoose1821]

Look after your vessel, then your crew, then yourself - and learn the protocols, rules and regs for being at sea. Keep safe, keep your crew safe.

[@rogermarks1110]

@Oceane Please let us know you are okay ! You are amazing hope you stick around !

[@G3niwis3]

Hope Oceane's hand is doing better, it happens to the best of us. Wishing you calm seas and steady breeze.

[@frankd2301]

I don’t want to nitpick but when using 24 hour time, you don’t need “am/pm”. It’s just 14:21; not 14:21 pm 😉

[@Vidar.m]

Elegant sailboat wow !!

[@dogpatch75]

I just love reading all the advice from the armchair quarterbacks who have gleaned all their knowledge of Oceane's mishap from an edited video! Shoulda, coulda, woulda is always easy to talk about after the fact. Although they are young in their experience, Jordan and Nate are very intelligent, learning fast, and are doing a great job. I'd go blue water sailing with them anytime!

[@randyprimmer691]

Wow what a trip and experience for sure. i hope Oceane's going to be alright and continue the trip. What a terrible thing to have happen. Just wondering how Nates mom is dealing with it all at sea. It's been a lot to take in over such a short time for you all.

[@ExpeditionDrenched]

Dee did pretty well, was a bit reserved and quite for a couple days as expected. She got home in time for the service and all is well -Nate

[@rollinrock6696]

Oceane! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jacktaylor1030]

What a Crew, Y'all need to run some Safety Courses on how to be careful around Dangerous Equipment. Looks Like Every ones having Fun so far.

[@jb9090]

Beating into the wind sucks. Be mindful of pinch points and climbing the mast without a harness. Healing vibes your way.

[@mikeevenden4211]

My poor petite Ocean, hope you’re ok!😘

[@PacotheBostonandEspitheFrenchi]

Started watching you when you showed the boat. I love your boat.

[@bubbagail7450]

your little pirate oceane will mend and be tuff as ever. hate that happened so it shows that you always have to be very careful. hope your stay in niue is very rewarding and safe.

[@kevanwithaneh5171]

Oceane! my thoughts are with you. Great team work from everyone aboard. Kevan from Canada

[@GrantArdern]

Another great video guys! Just FYI in this part of the world you can get 8m waves and 60knots of wind not uncommonly. Hope Oceane is ok? Had a chuckle you sailed to Nuie to drink New Zealand beer... 😅

[@jettynz]

Awesome work!!! - bet it felt amazing to achieve that. You can do anything now :)

[@fraserguthrie4692]

Are you guys looking at increasing your rolling stability. How heavy are those masts? If they are heavy they will affect your righting moment. Is there opportunity to increase your ballast to lower your centre of gravity. With a bit of careful work you might be able to increase your comfort levels

[@somadevo]

Congratulations on completing your first crossing...hoping Oceane's injury is not too serious

[@JoshuaSeed]

You guys seriously need to put more lead in your ballast keel. An extra ton or two, as low as you can get it, bolted on to the bottom of the original.

[@antonditt1661]

Alternatively a carbon rigg.^^

[@JoshuaSeed]

@@antonditt1661 Yeah, that big steel mast is likely contributing it's pendulum, but she seems to sit high, even on full lean. Lead would be cheaper!

[@robertforsyth2010]

Congratulations on arriving and achieving a destination that can be challenging. Where's the beer!!

Good job you made it. Wishing you good times and safe sailing.

[@Oladavol]

Wow Oceane I hope you're relatively alright?!! Glad you guys made it!! Sit back and enjoy now :) that was one hell of a maiden voyage haha. It could be cool if you guys had a Sylvia info/history page on your site too

[@Jfwr2010]

What was the diagnosis for Oceane? Would have been a great episode if you could have given closure to the accident

[@seafodder6129]

Terribly sorry to hear about Oceane's accident. Glad to see in the other comments that she is healing well. How severe was the injury and is she still aboard or is she recovering ashore? I'd hate to see y'all lose such an experienced sailor. Have to put that one in the Lessons Learned category: Yes, the cosmos is actively trying to kill you. :-)

[@philbox4566]

Nuiea had a cyclone a few years back. It was so massive and intense that the waves picked up huuuuuge coral bombies and lifted them up and over onto the top of the cliffs and destroyed concrete houses. Swept them away from their concrete foundations. The forest was also destroyed for hundreds of metres inland. The cliffs were 12 metres above the ocean. Man, the power of the Pacific Ocean eh.

[@2Qwk2C]

You know - the biggest event in this episode was Oceane and her accident. You've left everyone here hung out to dry! From Jordans first teary report to landing at Niue very little on her and her condition was related to us hence most of the comments below regard Oceane and her well being. Everyone would like to know - how is Oceane and is she continuing on the trip. This episode would have been more complete with a little more input about Oceane and how she was/is doing instead of leaving everyone worried for a whole week. That inclusion would have made this the top vid..........................:)

[@jcf1978]

Move those VIP flags to the Port halyard.

[@HopeOfJoe]

Happy to read Oceane is on the mend and the crew onboard attended to her well. Each soul is there for a reason. As to Sylfia in somewhat heavy weather, and 30 knots is not too heavy for a 75' heavy steel and provision laded down sailing vessel. You guys should be able to plow thru waves like a military naval boat. Yes, you will heal a bit more and you will need more power and you will learn to sail balance, sail quantity and trim more before you get it right...........but you will. l believe in you. Although S/v Atticus (KZbin Project Atticus sp?) is only 30 feet, they have learned well how to balance mizzen sail and headsails for heaver weather power. May want to watch a few episodes. You can do it !!

[@HopeOfJoe]

Thanks for the 'highlight' yet I corrected some spelling and lost it. No matter. Those who mattered got it !! Best wishes.

[@sammorrison6773]

Congrats guys!

[@ExpeditionDrenched]

Thanks Sam 🙏

[@rickfucci4512]

Fotitude . Nice

[@antonditt1661]

I have seen two fingers, that rode a retrieving anchor windlass sprocked underneath the chain. Luckily the finger pushing the button belonged to the same person. ;-) It was only a 10m boat, so the remains found back together fairly well eventually. Try that on Sophia and you only need to clean 8 fingernails from there on. Hope the furler was a bit more gentile. Get well, Ocean, soon it's just a story to tell and a sharpened instinct.

[@californiakayaker]

Nothing laid back about the pacific, its very alive. This Island looked like it had a very small cove but possibly not large enough. And a beach, quite far away from all of the shops in the little town, and steepness on land above it. Sure glad it has moorings because its fairly rugged. The shops sound cool in Alofi , Crazy Uga's Cafe, Jenna's Cafe, Nur Bakeries, The Yacht Club, And of couse, Wok on the Rock and Kaiika ! And even a scuba company, Magical Sea Scuba Adventures . The Island is 21 kilometers north to south, 13 miles, and a little less wide. Have fun guys .

[@TitusLivy777]

I hope you won't mind if I offer a couple of friendly suggestions: (1) please improve the audio. To be frank, it's pretty atrocious. One minute the music is drowning out the voices, and the next the music can hardly be heard. When music is playing while someone is speaking, the voice is the most important component. (2) finish the story...so the most dramatic incident in today's video was Oceane's injury. And the conclusion (or at least the current state) of the story is...we have no idea. Is she dead? Was her hand amputated? Has she left the boat? The segment in which Oceane explained how the injury occurred should also have given us information about the current state of affairs. Example: "it hurt like hell, but I don't think the injury is too serious. Still, I'm taking pain meds, and I'll see a doctor in Niue." What were the actual facts? Dunno...cause you left the viewer hanging. I hope these comments are helpful. Your video footage is generally pretty awesome. Just remember to tell stories: each with a beginning, a middle, and an end. Every vlog should be a complete story: beginning, middle, and end. Good luck!

[@rmannayr2129]

OMG 12 DAYS?!

[@hyrocket]

5:31 I hope Oceane is doing better, update? Will she continue or not?

[@kb1esx]

Did I see Flux Capacitor behind Nate in the technical area?

[@iamgroot7147]

9:53 What are you worried about the arrival time when the flux compensator is right behind you.

[@joshuataylor1642]

So what happened to the injured crew? Expected an update at the end.

[@smokedoliver1]

Best wishes to Patrice 😊

[@shanekonarson]

Reality hits hard . It’s not all beer and sunshine. WTF was she doing trying to fix a Furler at night in heavy seas ? That could have been a fatality. I admire those that want to go to sea and seek challenge and adventure. However never forget that big moving blue wavy form of energy your floating on will Kill you if you aren’t on your game . Nate and Jordan you are great people, but you are responsible for all those people. And I think you lack some of the experience to make the calls out there , but how do get the experience? You get out there and do it right . So please Please be very very careful. I would hate to see your dream become a disaster. . This is not a Personal attack or anything just some constructive criticism. Stay safe guys.

[@colinmurphy4985]

Best wishes to Oceane, hope she recovers quickly. Also, maybe you guy's can get school children around the world to plot your course with lat. and long as a project, probably have to go through board of education in different countries. My brother did it for NASA, I could find out how he did it if you like, cheers.

I think Tonga has a resident humpback whale place where lots of sailors get to experience diving with these amazing whales.

Oh no! My little see food galette got hurt 😳...she didn't seem too bothered by it though...that girl is though as pink granite!!! What's the damage to her hand though? Anything broken? Anyways, is there an address where I could send stuff out to you guys? Massive hugs to Oceane and the rest of you guys Erwan

[@andybrands1883]

Millport before global warming puts her under a wonderful place the wildlife is fantastic some lovely scenery and you can go to Ahmeds special Tandoori night, all you can eat for a tenner and Guinness promotion night one that shouldn't be missed by all cruisers s if you are in the area!! PS I can still ship those size 11 baffies out to Tonga?? Hope Oceane is ok too luv guys and a strong wind from your rear xxx

[@mgmcd1]

What is the medical supply situation aboard? I am assuming a full kit, but not sure what a full kit is comprised of for a crossing like that. Glad you were able to take care of Oceane for a time.

[@goulash75]

Hope your hand is better Oceane. Question, that thing behind Nate's ear at the 10:00 mark... flux capacitor?

[@ExpeditionDrenched]

Hahaha yes, yes it is

Had a dickens of a time figuring out what Oceane was saying.

[@jamescarey6559]

[@rmannayr2129]

LAND HO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mitchpender8113]

A genoa furled more than half becomes ineffective as the centre of effort moves further away from the centre of the boat unbalancing the helm as well as most important the roll of the furled sail spoils airflow , a storm jib or better yet a sail on your inner forestay usually increases speed and load on the rig and rudder ...

[@luksikaguendaraju6845]
