Exploring the Cities of Colombia and Sailing the Coast of Tayrona Park - Episode 47

[@darrellhendricks8225]

I just want to say thank you for showing us places most of will never get to see.

[@SailingOneLife]

Thanks for watching, Darrell! We really enjoy making this videos and sharing with everyone. 🍻

[@arkansasboy45]

I love the underwater shots. The reefs and aquatic life look amazing.

[@SailingOneLife]

Colombia is just a beautiful place all around - land and sea!

[@mikeandmar9046]

I love how positive you guys are!! Your mindset is very inspiring to just take things as they are and make the best of each situation. 💕

[@SailingOneLife]

Thanks, Mike & Mar! It sounds so cliche, but life is too short not to try to make the best of everything! Some days are definitely more challenging than others but we try to stay upbeat as we are so grateful to be out here having these amazing experiences! Cheers guys!

[@arottie4097]

Hey guy's, i'm thinking the two of you just discovered, an undiscovered HOT SPOT!! 21:14 Ha! Well done! Thanx for the share.

[@SailingOneLife]

Hahaha yes maybe! Thanks, A Rottie! It's good to hear from you!

[@mikeandmar9046]

Wow live al the art work!! 😍

[@SailingOneLife]

The talent of those artists was absolutely astounding. The way the murals bring vibrancy to that neighborhood is really unique.

[@edkleinstuber2119]

another great video, thanks for taking me along

[@SailingOneLife]

Hey Ed! Thanks for coming along with us! 😍

[@MrPaulcm1]

Wow, Medellin looks so good. Love the wall art. You guys always meet some fun people. Glad you had a good sail and some much needed downtime. Love the vlog :)

[@SailingOneLife]

Medellin was certainly a highlight during our time in Colombia. Well just Colombia in general was one of our favorites! Such a beautiful country with lovely people.

[@Chris-zo5ze]

Late to the party but commenting for the algorithm... That coral looked amazing!

[@SailingOneLife]

Thanks, Chris! The coral was so healthy we were shocked!

[@braddobson2060]

Very enjoyable and interesting thanks for sharing, good luck with your windless

[@SailingOneLife]

Thank you Brad! We can't believe the windlass just ripped out of the deck like that! 😳 Boat life!

[@backAtCha9132]

So funny to hear Brooke talk about falling down the rabbit hole, been down that same hole a few times. I have a blurry memory of walking the streets of Malaga Spain at 5am trying to figure out where I left the boat.... Happy sailing guys!

[@SailingOneLife]

Hahaha the rabbit hole is a slippery slope!

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Gorgeous! Lovely dive footage!

[@SailingOneLife]

Thanks, Rick! The diving in Colombia really surprised us! Good stuff!

[@michaelnotary5205]

I was in Medellin 3 years ago, it was very crowded in the train station. Big difference with the virus. And yes, the whole city is incredibly clean.

[@SailingOneLife]

We can't imagine how busy it must have been pre-covid! One of the cleanest cities we've been to!

[@joephillips7612]

Wow. This was amazing!

[@SailingOneLife]

Thanks, Joe! We absolutely love Colombia! Such a great place.

[@richardelder256]

Great to see Colombia through the eyes of North Americans who don't have pre-conceived ideas. I lived in the mountains in Colombia for two years 40 years ago. I'm always blown away by the contrast between the modern second world Colombia today which in many ways surpasses the US (health care and transportation for example) with the impoverished third world country I knew only four decades ago.

[@SailingOneLife]

Hey Richard! You are absolutely right. It is such a shame people still have a negative outlook on Colombia. We really enjoyed our time there and agree it surpasses the US in many aspects. We hope more people will visit Colombia and see how much the country has progressed. We can't wait to go back!

[@allengma10]

So nice to see Medellin's recovery from its sordid past!

[@catspaw3815]

Wow, what a beautiful coastline. And fantastic underwater footage! Thanks, guys

[@SailingOneLife]

Thank you! Colombia continually surprised us! So much to do and see!

[@BohemianBeatster]

Showing today's Columbia with its safe streets, scenic beauty and friendly people is important for the world to know. Many people still think of Columbia as filled with dangerous drug cartels, and murderous gangs everywhere. Thank you for your exciting video.

[@SailingOneLife]

Thank you so much! We have been socialized to believe it is a dangerous place but it has changed so so much and it's truly a wonderful country!

[@markbuskens6070]

Dang that was fast ,Gary ☺️

[@Richard-R-S]

Always good to keep one's "bottom" clean, aye (chuckle)?😉 Nice trip coverage, again, kudos on the editing. Someone is getting better all the while, I'd say👍🏻. God Bless 🙏🏻⛵🎞

[@SailingOneLife]

Thanks, Richard! We are learning more editing skills with every video! Awesome that you notice the improvement!

[@btrent9244]

Great video with a glimpse of the many facets of Columbia. Nice to see all the local areas that you visited. Massive piece of pizza 👍. We all seem to migrate to the burger and fries on occasion. I’m with you on that one too. Wonderful seeing you two enjoying your One Life together. Cheers 👍🇺🇸😎...

[@SailingOneLife]

Thank you, B Trent! It seems like pizza was actually pretty popular in Colombia. This particular slice had potato sticks on top! 🤯 And.....we are suckers for a good fast food burger occasionally....who knew we'd crave McDonald's out here?! 🤣

[@sandysroka2823]

Really interesting video showing the local life in Colombia The artwork was amazing. Thanks for sharing😃

[@SailingOneLife]

We love all the street art! We bought a couple prints for the boat but not sure where to hang them yet.

[@wesm3848]

WOW finally shaved!!!!! Looks so much better. Was getting to look like Tom Hanks in Castaway.

[@SailingOneLife]

Hahaha. The beard has a mind of its own! It grows so fast!

[@OldManGibb]

Once again you put out a great video, Thanks a million. :)

[@SailingOneLife]

Thank you, Gibb! ❤️ We look forward to sharing our next adventure with you! Have a good week! 🍻

Thank you!

[@josepmassot4696]

Enhorabuena por vuestro viage a Colombia. No me canso de recomendar a los que navegan por el Caribe que v aprovechen la temporada de huracanes para visitar Colombia y Venezuela con poco éxito por cierto. Si aprovechan para hacer excursiones por el interior descubrirán que son junto con Ecuador probablemente los países más bellos del mundo

[@SailingOneLife]

Visitar Colombia sigue siendo uno de nuestros lugares favoritos a los que hemos navegado.

[@nathen4021]

You should sail the Norwegian fjords. You would love it by boat.

[@SailingOneLife]

Thanks, Nathen! We've heard it's beautiful there, maybe one day we will make it there! It's very far away from us now!

[@ianfirth-clark5975]

Another really good episode and great to be able to see the changing face of Medllin and Columbia. I hope your windlass is not as big an issue as it looked. Thanks for sharing

[@SailingOneLife]

Thank you, Ian! Colombia is a beautiful place and it is so cool to see how many advancements they have made in a short time! The windlass......stay tuned! 😁

[@jorgegorina8358]

Omg I hope I would have known u guys where going to Medellin. I would have set it up for guys. We have family over there. Glad u guys got to enjoy it. Awesome video.

[@SailingOneLife]

Oh no! That would have been awesome!! Bummed we missed out on that! Medellin is such a cool place. We stayed in Laureles and it was wonderful. We loved the vibe there.....and the Aguardiente! 😜

[@beagssss1]

Omg, no beard. Another awesome vid.

[@SailingOneLife]

Thanks, Doug! Don't worry, captain brown beard will be back! 🏴‍☠️🧔

[@todwilkinson2649]

You guys are great and love your channel!! But.....your 3 desserts from the bakery were each in individual single use plastic?

[@SailingOneLife]

Yup, guilty. It's virtually impossible to eliminate all single use plastics in our lives. We reduce it as much as we can, and even go as far as washing and reusing Ziploc bags for food on board. Plastic bottles that food or drinks come in get washed and reused for leftovers first and eventually for boat projects. Unfortunately where we travel food products almost always come prepacked in plastic containers. We wouldn't dare claim to be single-use-plastics-free, but are doing what we can.

[@deankoch7305]

Great video. Thanks.

Thank you, Dean! We appreciate all your support out here! 🏝️🏴‍☠️

Always appreciate your land based adventures. The rock was a natural stair climber, no doubt. Great scuba video! Who was that un-masked man? Enjoyed that guys!

[@SailingOneLife]

Thanks, Vern! We love exploring on land as much as by water! Life is all about balance, right? Glad you liked this one! Look forward to sharing our next one! 🍻

Hi Guys : can I ask why you had to change taxis , numerous times to Try get to the Airport…..?

[@SailingOneLife]

Hey Paul! Wow, great question! The taxi drivers in Colombia are not allowed to operate outside their 'jurisdiction' no matter how much money we offered. So we had to taxi hope several times to get to the airport.

[@jpate1103]

Medellin has gone through a lot of changes since the Escobar days. Hats off to the Columbian government for committing to excellence. It wasnt easy. After Pablo was killed, his cartel fractured, and many tried to reestablish the cartel, but the government anticipated that and kept the city flooded with police and military for the next 20 years. They had a few prominent businesses invest in the city as well, which provided jobs, gentrification, better education, and you can't even recognize it if you were there 30 years ago. Almost the perfect storm. Instead of murder, gang crime, and kidnappings, you have expats actually coming in and never knowing it was once like that. Its quite the transformation, for sure! Glad you were able to see and witness that. They still produce coke there, though haha... mostly on the outskirts of the city. Very low key and underground but they dont dare expose their operations because unlike before the penalties are pretty severe. Makes me wonder why we dont do this kind of thing in the rough parts of American cities. Medellin should be the model you can copy. Anyway, thanks for the tour and keep making videos.... they're amazing! 💯🔥🙌

[@SailingOneLife]

We couldn't agree more. We are happy we got to experience Medellin. Colombia is still one of our favorite countries!

[@larrymills4223]

OMG - you look thirty years younger with no beard. Who is the older woman you are with?

Hahaha 30 years younger?! 🧔->👶

[@douglasburch2320]

With all do respect, a bit of constructive criticism. As a first time visitor to your channel, there is no introduction as to who you are or anything about your adventures. Most successful channels offer a brief introduction so that newcomers understand who you are, and what your story is.

[@SailingOneLife]

Thanks, Douglas! We appreciate your feedback. We've had two different intros and we are considering putting one back in. It is our hope that any one new to our channel will watch an episode or two and then decide to go to our first episode to learn more about our story and continue watching from there. Cheers!

[@douglasburch2320]

@@SailingOneLife Here's a few different intros from other sailing channels to check out: Odd Life crafting, Sailing Yaba, Sailing La Vagabond, Sailing JibSea. Their brief intros allow any new viewer to immediately have a brief history of their story. I hope this helps.

[@SailingOneLife]

Thanks! We will check these out.

cool area, the whole mask thing drives me nuts. why bother if your going to wear it like that.
