North Atlantic record run, Iceland & Arctic Circle voyage

Here’s the North Atlantic record run part of Thunder Child II’s northern voyage. I made a little documentary covering the full journey. Hope you enjoy it.

[@kiwidiesel]

Loved the sound of those CAT engines. Ear candy.

[@miketee2444]

Driving and navigating at night is tough at ten knots. When you kick things up considerably faster and it's just draining on your senses. My respect to you lucky folks. You've had the opportunity of a lifetime.

[@AtenzaSaseko]

Simply THE BEST boat of the world ! Love from Italy ...

[@allensandven0]

The drone shots are absolutely amazing with the icebergs in the background ! Stunning

[@Crsf84]

absolutely outstanding. Having worked in some of those areas onboard a trawler I can relate to how volatile the sea is . That has to be one of the best looking boats with the happiest crews i’ve seen. Well done all. 👌🏼

[@gratefulot360]

Truly amazing footage. Incredible boat and crew!

[@123boat]

Really can’t get enough of your fantastic videos 👍

Another great adventure. Phenomenal scenery, wow! It’s quite a long way to go for some ice in your drink 🧊🥃. I think you should bring Thunderchild 2 to Australia🍺🍺🍺🍺🇦🇺

Truly inspirational and congratulations on your record. Many people have various records but I'll bet there aren't many that designed and built the vessel they used. Now how much for a thunder child jacket? I'm only in Wales, a quick hop N.E of Cork 🤣👍👍

[@jonathanevans9257]

Its good to see you have considered seriously ergonomics in the help position, something overlooked on many motor boat designs for many years.

I have enjoyed your presentation. One suggestion next time wear a clip on mike fed into your camera. This coming from a recording engineer. 🙂 it will make your video even better. 👍🏻

No cabin for the crew to rest in such a beast?

watch out for those shipping containers, some kind of sonar ?

@@g.marinestation3236 actually, I transverse haulover inlet about twice a week in my 24’Grady White , Boynton Inlet is actually much more unpredictable and narrower. They can get more dangerous.

They’ve just crossed the North Atlantic. Lake superior would be like a pond compared to that. Have you ever seen the conditions they test their boats in?
