These people stay fit, free, but working their asses off. Nice life if you can do the work, and face uncertainty of weather.

[@billroberts3864]

Your love and affection for each other is evident even when you go shopping to reprovision. You two are an inspiration and we look forward to your videos. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.

[@yorukkizigeziyor]

Very beautiful 😃😍👍

[@FriendM2010]

Troy is a lucky man ... Pascal seems to know a lot about preparing tasty food 🥳🥳🥳. You two looked in your element shopping at farmers market 👍. I’ve been folding my laundry wrong for 50 years 🤣😂🤣

[@countrycoopers]

So glad you got to see parts of where I grew up as a kid. I wondered when you started, how long it would take to get to this point! We holiday there from time to time. I saw on FB when you were organising to have a meet and greet, it would be good to say G'Day, but we are now 5 hrs inland. PS the tall bridge you went under is called the Rip Bridge. The swirls and rips in the water made it an obvious name!

[@gpk7683]

You two are really nice people and fun to watch. Sailing and cooking; most informative.

[@richardmason902]

Oh Man. Why did I ever leave?? Worked as a shipwright in the Pittwater area for years and there you are right there in all the places that I love so much. I just have to get my boat cleaned up and come home. Thank you for the inspiration. I am going to Bookmark this video and use it as my Go To Inspirational Mantra. Thank you Thank you so much.

A sailors least favorite vegetable? It took me a minute to get it but then the light bulb came on. Not only is Pascale a lovely looking lass, but witty too! : )

[@johnkaveski7953]

bloody love that lady mate she is the best as you already know.

[@rorytennes8576]

Well I started looking for a boat yesterday. Living in Texas and close to Florida there is an abundance of pre-owned boats for sale close to me. I am very surprised, happily, at the prices I'm finding. I'm finding a lot of good used boats in the $8,000 to $20,000 range. Quite a few of them are well-equipped and currently cruising or have been very recently. This is giving me a pretty good feeling about joining the cruising Community soon. Ps. I hope I get the chance to sail to Australia. It is a beautiful place with great people.

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

Used boats are a lot cheaper here in the US & it's basically due to supply & demand. A lot of people buy boats here on a whim & then the novelty wears off. Find what you want & drive a hard bargain.

[@rorytennes8576]

@PJ Southpaw cheers! Thanks 😊

[@rorytennes8576]

@PJ Southpaw PS. I noticed you were left handed when I saw you reeling in a fish. Hehe. I fished all my life and always thought it looked difficult to reel left handed.

[@rorytennes8576]

@PJ Southpaw you are all over the place. Well at first I was thinking a catamaran or a James wharram. But now I am leaning toward a monohull. There appears to be and abundance of Bluewater mono hulls to choose from around here. I am learning about which Styles in which Keels are the best for what I want. What is the make of Mirrool? And why did you choose it? Also I have heard from more than one person that they fiberglass boats from the 60s and early 70s are of higher quality material and thicker Hull

[@rorytennes8576]

@PJ Southpaw I was thinking catamaran or a James wharram because of the stability and maybe a little more room. I have had 3 multi-level spinal fusions it actually need another one right now. But I'm not going to do it just yet because it's not bothering me that bad. For instance with a James wharram you can actually Beach the boat instead of having to Anchor all the time. And the same can be done with certain catamarans. Which might help in Risky situations or if I was just too tired or stove up

[@staxter6]

Nice, used to throw a fly into the surf in St Lucia, South Africa..plenty of fair sized Black Tail, turned around once on a hook up and there was a Leopard squatting behind me in on the ridge line..I quietly joined the fishes for a drift down the surf. ;-) Lost the fish but still here.

[@richardmason902]

Wow

I'm with Richarrd-Wow! I've seen a leopard up closer than I would have liked. Very unpleasant.

Pascal, what a glorious name! ;)... a joy watching you guys, always

[@fclopez1]

Hello Troy and Pascale For some time I have been very interested in sailing. Currently I subscribe to a dozen sailing channels. I recently came across your channel and after watching a few episodes I feel you have one of the best sailing channels. So over the last few weeks I have been binge watching you. I am only up to episode 57 now, so I have a few weeks until I am current. Troy, your DIY episodes are excellent. I have learned a great deal from both of you. Your underwater episodes are also very good and your “Staring Credits” are a nice touch. Keep up your excellent work.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Frank and welcome!

[@supershane1960]

Ah, you guys keep doing this to me... Memories... End of 1969, left Adelaide, travelled across the Nullarbor to Perth and then on up to Koolan Island, out from Derby in the Kimberleys. One of the memories that has always stayed with me was powdered milk. In those days I'm pretty certain you could only get Sunshine, I think it may have been a Nestle product. The add was always buy a "Cow in a Can." As a child I didn't drink coffee but always remember loving the taste of powdered milk with Cornflakes. Yummo. Couldn't get milk on the Island so everyone drank powdered, every 2 years we'd fly over to Derby with all our gear, pack up the station wagon and drive back to Adelaide for holidays, camping most of the way. So powdered milk again... Loved it... Saw you bought 4 bags of the stuff, so what do you use it for apart from cuppa's and making yoghurt?? Do you have it cereal?? Great video guys. Looking forward to the next one, cheers for now... ;-}

[@tbonemc2118]

Can't agree with your thoughts on milk powder. I was raised in Port Moresby on milk powder as that was all there was as fresh milk didn't exist and similarly there was no television either. This was about the same time as Mirool had her keel laid. So many new experiences in a life time.

[@GOTMV]

Troy here's a fly casting tip. Don't raise the rod past 1:00 o'clock. This allows the line to "load" the rod as it travels behind you. Then when you start the forward motion the rod unloads.

[@justinstubbs5922]

One of your best videos so far. Don't know why, it just worked. Felt like I was there with you. Well done

[@brianboys9015]

That rock shadow shot is the best ever.

[@bluejeans725]

Spring onions are something you can grow under a window really easily, hospital drip bag type hydroponics in a tiny amount of aged crushed bark and washed coarse sand, cycling very little water so it gets new water/nutrient all the time. Raise the bag and lower the bag to water them, Keep them short cut them like a crew cut :) a 600ml pet bottle with holes cut one side is as big a container as you need and a 300ml pet bottle as the drip bag, some clear carby fuel hose pressed in or grommets if you're fancy.

We completely agree with you about the "intangibles". That is exactly what our YT account gives us.

[@MrOldbanjo]

If you ever need to store fresh eggs for a long time do the following. Mix 1 oz by weight pickling lime with each quart of water and place unwashed eggs straight from the chicken in a container and cover with the mix and put a lid on top to keep water from evaperating we have eaten eggs that have sat on the kitchen counter for 1 1/2 years, the instruction I saw said the eggs would last 2 years, you could put a towel on top the eggs to keep them from moving and breaking.

Goegeous waterways Pittwater and Brisbane Waters. Good choice. The Basin is a nice spot eh? Get some 2-5" soft plastics and slowly bounce them around the bottom on an outgoing tide for a feed of flathead. cheers.

[@danielbuckner2167]

Wow, those petroglyphs were very cool but just cool were the surfaces they were on! That looks like petrified mud! Where in the world did that t-short folding skill come from? I had to rewind and watch it again!

[@dirtywetdogboatsandsailing6805]

I'm really glad that you've taken the time to talk about boat provisioning : at 61 iv'e realised that i'm seriously overweight on a 'normal' western diet and that iv'e really got to do something about it. Iv'e really got to have a major rethink about what i buy and store for the boat. My big change is that iv'e gone from very high carb to low carb and higher fat and one of the major problems iv'e found is that i''ll need much more cold storage volume on my little boat.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Fats include oils which don't need refrigeration for us. Dried meats are great too. Powdered milk as yoghurt and cheese only needs piecemeal refrigeration for a lot of food value.

[@dirtywetdogboatsandsailing6805]

@@FreeRangeLiving just as a quickie....i'm doing 'Keto' with great results : 6.6 Kg down in 5 weeks. Are you using seed oils or olive oil ?

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Both

[@dirtywetdogboatsandsailing6805]

@@FreeRangeLiving do you have any thoughts about the evidence that the seed oils might be highly inflammatory compared to saturated (stable) fats ?

[@FreeRangeLiving]

@@dirtywetdogboatsandsailing6805 I can't say we do much research on it. We eat and see how we feel with it. Our primary fats are olive oil and butter or ghee with some sesame for flavour and grape occasionally. Pascale is happiest with no/low carb, high veg, moderate protein and fat. I operate well on high protein, high fat, moderate fruit/ carb. Informal fasting is just part of the life but I would say it contributes a lot to health and eating mostly what we hunt seems to fit but again, we aren't in a hurry to claim any expertise.

In all honesty guys, I really appreciate the extra effort you go to to insert Latin and common names for some of the flora and fauna you come across (I especially enjoy knowing the fish species you see when diving as I'm hopeless on fish). ... now, hmm.. what kind of Wallaby was that...

Isn't Gosford where Mirool was built by Bruce Fairlie ? My Dad took me up there to look them over with a view to buying but went pffft when he saw the dome over the companionway, which went with a design change, and the u bolts through the deck for the side stays, didnt like the outboard well either which also went, you got a later model than the one we looked at.

There were a lot of changes over the years. Mirrool is pretty extensively remodelled being hull 29

[@raiman432]

love watching your vids. Just a question on your fold away dingy, have you had any issues with it, how safe is it, is it stable in the chop, does it leak and do you think it is robust enough to dissembled constantly and if you had a choice would you buy another one. I am unsure whether to buy an inflatable or that.🤔

[@Potsie]

Rainer - Not sure if Troy will get a chance to reply, but he did a whole episode specifically on the Porta Bote dinghy - (30Sep2018 - between episodes 52 and 53) in which he answered all your above questions as well as a whole lot more; In episode 52 they did some refit work to the dinghy seats etc.. it was pretty interesting viewing.
