WIND. All strengths all directions - Free Range Sailing Ep 171

[@PeterCorrigan]

This must be the best small boat sailing footage ever recorded anywhere. Lovely how you make us feel like we're also on board. What a privilege. Thanks!

[@davesmith8286]

Ditto Smokey Ribs...If you love sailing, watch "Free Range Sailing". So nice to see you two smiling more than ever. Thats what sailing does for Real Sailors. Looking forward to many more Smiles and Smiles of Free Range Sailing.

[@vaughangill7288]

The South East trades blow fresh over these ink blue seas, as we adjust our aerofoils to obtain lift from the breeze. Over the huge swells we fly, me on the yacht, an Albatross gliding nearby. I admire his power and grace, as he sails effortlessly across this vast lonely place. We only communicate with our eyes, but there is a mutual understanding as everyday he comes by. Two strange friends are we, out on the Pacific Ocean together, but separately. STRANGE FRIENDS © Vaughan Gill

Love how the VHF with all the bells and whistles is a few inches from Troy's face when sleeping.,. EVERYTHING on Mirool is so well considered.

[@jonathonduhring8245]

Master sailspeople,master boat builders,master youtubers....well done👍👍i apretiate the knowledge you both pass on to your viewers.

[@TasmanianViking]

Bacon, sail changes and great camera angles. That berth does look cozy too, great seeing the trip North.

[@csjmoore]

Love the blue of the deep ocean. Good color rendition.

[@MagniKhan]

The refit looks so great, you must be proud. SALUTE. Way to give her a proper shake down.

[@shaneriehl223]

Fantastic stuff. Thanks for making this video. I love watching your stuff because it’s one of the few channels where I don’t need to watch people who don’t know how to sail learn through the school of hard-knocks. Those are entertaining, but this is truly enjoyable!

[@paulmeredith2054]

Thank you, a channel that actually has real sailing, I watch a lot of other channels but they are more about drama, food or exploring on land, great to see some actual sailing, very well presented vids.

[@327365hp]

Wing on wing is my favorite thing, but that spinnaker is king!

[@tonycook2347]

10:58 the old choc on the shoulder. Be careful Troy, that could be classed as affection tough guy :)

[@miguelpaixao1317]

Today i' ll write in french. C' est vraiment agréable de pouvoir passer un bon moment en votre "compagnie", si on peut le dire. Ce que c' est beau de naviguer à voile!!! Et de se laisser aller même si le vent rugit. Merci.

[@donnakawana]

What a sail what a boat .. what a beautiful thing to watch in motion.. seeing the albatross and dolphins made it even more beautiful.. I really enjoyed this episode.. ✌🏻💗😊❣️

[@kimvanderlaan4120]

I don't understand how you don't have 500 thousand followers. I love your videos, Even when they scare the shit out of me.

[@kevinpunty5838]

Absolutely great sailing! The Stay-Sail and Head-Sail configuration still looked beautiful. And, I love the colors of your spinnaker! All the way from San Francisco, California and I'm so happy and proud for both of you as you really are pure sailing joy to watch! And, while watching, I was actually a tad bit jealous I was not sailing along beside you in a buddy boat. That is what I call an EPIC SAIL from Tazzy to Mainland! Anxiously awaiting your cruise across the bight!!!

[@BillB23]

Rather than add to the well earned accolades below, I thought I'd add a few keystrokes in hopes of aiding your analytics.

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

Having watched the complete refit, I am excited to see everything working well. The hob, cockpit, rigging, electrical, dodger, etc. It's like I'm right there and remembering all your work. Awesome!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

My favorite videos is when there is a lot of sailing, and this one did not disappoint! So awesome!

[@dabbab1]

Watching you two slowly put out sail reminded me of when I started sailing. I thought everything needed to happen quickly. Slow is fast.

[@forwardtumble]

I love that you guys have incorporated some 'this is how we do the actual sailing' segments to your videos. Footage paired with the excellent narration makes it very enjoyable to watch as a nautically impaired citydude (:

[@timhaynes739]

Really enjoyed that one. The tranquillity of just sailing in the open ocean really shon through. Well done and thanks.

[@carenclemmons5002]

Yes indeed. Allows one to contemplate the somewhat seesaw embrace of breathing, literally. Sitting where on a scale of comfort with mother nature’s power? Whew gotsta have some huevos to be willing to meet your maker on this highly invigorating ride with now. Breath taking inspiring and scary as hell all rolled in.

[@rafaelprudentedeoliveira2209]

1,2k likes and ZERO dislikes.... sounds right! Love from Brazil!

[@ralphjansen9205]

The Refit has made a huge difference to your daily lives, as far a comfort goes. She is looking great. Well done.

[@robertbeck4762]

A shipshape vessel well kept. Proves one need not have a 45 foot yacht to cross an ocean safely. Con grats on your well executed rebuild.

[@lionelconnell925]

You guys have an astonishing ability to put us right there in the boat with you. It is truly amazing to be able to experience and understand your love of the sea and sailing though it, always looking for every opportunity to improve the trim of the boat to keep her happy in the conditions. Great to see you guys back where you belong.

[@auman2]

Your back better than ever. You have the most down to earth personalities of all the sailing vlogs I watch . It’s wonderful to see you two over the moon with such joy. You both worked so hard to get to this point, it’s great to watch you both happy and relaxed again.

[@johnwinslow7390]

Thank you, great sailing video! Looks like your refit was completely successful, the boat looks to sail very well. I would appreciate a detailed review of your VHF/AIS radio sometime.

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

You Two are An Epic Breath Of Fresh Air in a World that is Otherwise Full of Harsh Vibes and Bad Air THANK you BOTH for your Never Ending Love and Care that you have for your Home as Well as for Each Other You ARE Legends I Wish I could Come and Visit one day THANKS a Million for Sharing

[@davefoster7770]

Port tack so bed works better. Seems reasonable.

[@AlienX69]

Talk about up close and personal, feel like I'm surfing the waves with you. You don't need polished fancy videos it your content that captures us. True seamanship in challenging seas, no foolishness, an going where most dare to go .... Bravo !!

[@rosslevitates]

You guys have real grit to sail west about towards Perth. Really admire your skills and confidence!!

[@jimwesselman]

Bravo Pascale ! This video was fascinating! I was sailing along with you guys. Pascale back at cooking, Troy gives us the insight on sailing! Has anyone ever mentioned that Troy looks like Don Quixote? Instead of a horse it’s a boat.

[@carenclemmons5002]

Hah, yeah. He’s got the aura for it. Good point. Zen

[@MiQBohlin]

Aye m8’s, I really must say that my envy of being able to spot an albatross from your own sailing vessel, just went to a top notation. 👀

[@jerrybailey3095]

Wow, awesome video guys , really looks wild out there. That windfane really does a good job. Love your video's..Take care be safe! 😎👍👍

[@Jamiehello1]

Great work again . my shout when you bring that old girl back to cairns

[@davidferry548]

I loved the map pointer and hand , sooo Ask tbe Leyland Brothers from the 70 s 😂😂

[@yakekaj]

You guys look so happy to be afloat again.... Can't wait for your next adventures up the coast🤘

[@87sport]

great video, all that hard work and now enjoying the rewards on a beautiful boat. well deserved

[@gobic1319]

Ocean sailing, porpoises and albatross, a well found boat and competent sailors. Sheer delight, thanks for the wonderful video.

[@steveholman3451]

Yay for sailing! This and last issue were Great! Miss the fishing action however... put those lines in! 🐟 It’s ok to show affection 💕too, it’s not all technical ya know! 😊

[@sailingmoonshadow3169]

Love that SH 2200. I have the same radio and it got me a cross the English channel last September in thick fog. Like you say, it gives s great sense of security to be able to see other traffic. It prompted me to fit a full AIS system over the (UK) winter. Now I can be seen as well as see 👍

[@PetervanderPalm]

You are top sailors, it takes knowledge to sail these waters with such a small ship. Also, you must love each other very much to tolerate each other in such a small space and in these harsh conditions. Good luck

[@matt_kildea]

Ok this is video number 48 of my "I want to buy a Free Range Sailing hoody" campaign Cheers Matt

[@andrewburnett2215]

Glad to see you are back on the water - be safe.

[@lightprint348]

I am glad you made it robe, my ex mum inlaw lives there, many happy holiday memories and some big swell looking for crayfish pots. Great to see the sailing

[@whotknots]

Pascale your momentary confusion regarding the 'underground' rather than underfloor fuel bunker made me smile because it reminded me of an old episode of a BBC radio feature titled 'The Goon Show'. I remember the bizarrely silly program starred Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe (what a beautiful singing voice he had) and John Cleese. In it, the Goons were sailing a castle across the English channel when one of them heard a rumor about buried treasure in the dungeon and decided to dig for it...😁

[@wildtimbrown]

We NEVER speak of the "secret underground lair:! ;-) I love Love LOVE seeing the 3 of you out on your real "lair"..

[@sailinggreenpearl2571]

You really are nailing the music on your videos

[@shawnbarnett8366]

Loved the sailing content. What an adventure this trip must have been.

[@philgray1023]

Awesome, no other words work. We have the same radio, and our spare is its predecessor. One great aspect is you can call the ais target vessel directly using a dsc call. The bad part is many folks down here don't know what a dsc call looks like. My mate was going to get the techo in because his radio was making funny noises.

[@snakeeyes4424]

The new suit of sails look very nice and efficient The boat looks like new love your videos

[@adz6494]

Nice sailing footage. Appreciate your indulging vicarious stowaways on MAROOL. Cheers

[@RoyClare]

Great sailors, lovely boat, superb video. Thank you, you two - awesome as always.

[@hukphin740]

Reaping what you've sown....love it when it all comes together!

[@ryan-w]

The wind vane is very solid in its steering accuracy. Another cool episode guys!!

[@TheBeggFamily]

Haven’t seen a video in a while, though I have been in hospital for 3 months! Great to see you guys on the move!Another great fun video!Nice spinnaker

[@chateaubrillantmont]

Dolphins and Albatross...Evocative Spinnaker wave surfing...Epic Thanks for the...Entertainment

[@sailingtwoeazy4292]

Great to see you back on the water!

[@overlandingomar]

Nice to see you back. Living the dream!

[@paulcavanagh9584]

wow all that work you both put into the boat and now reaping the rewards you both deserve with this type of sailing thats living all the best to you

[@justinstubbs5922]

Wonderful. Felt I was with you rather than sitting her in Covid lockdown on our boat. Thanks again

[@robertorzech8922]

One of your very best sailing videos to date ! Thanks for sharing. I realize you spend a lot of time and hard work putting this production together and I really appreciate it! Cheers

[@steamerAE]

So good to see you sailing again. Great video, thumps up!

[@joebrown1382]

Always like what I see. I like you guys are very safe sailors. That AOS is a cool piece of equipment.

[@markgauvain2991]

Beautiful video, a lovely adventure. A Cool place, big water and wind on that passage. Best of luck!

[@hurdurdur7rl696]

Your radio unit looks very practical, thumbs up.

[@marcvaillancourt4670]

Welcome home

[@Mark-tu9mi]

I think you two are nuts. But I really like the videos that you put out. We only hope one day we can meet you two. I will need some boat work done when we do meet, LOL. Stay safe, Mark and Camille from Tennessee USA

[@bobr9731]

Love the foward and aft camera's. It feels like we're crew. The new dogger is doin the bizz. Better than watching the volvo!

[@leeshort1902]

Love watching you both sail. So much to do and look out for. I look forward every week for your vids. Great stuff 😎

[@groopmmex]

Lovely

[@brianboys9015]

lovely sailing with all the new stuff

[@StewartGartland]

My favourite channel!! Fabulous stuff.

[@mhansl]

Nice when the southern ocean gives you a little break.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

A little break is preferable to a big break! (or many breaks)

[@tonywrobleski5185]

Great harmony and team work u guys my favorite channel

[@DONALDMORSE02562]

Thanks

[@deeparks3112]

Brilliant but sneaky Pascale, digging that girl cave under the boat during the refit. great stach on the Troy fellow, give him a cutless for his birthday. Thank you both for another informative/entertaining video! Glad you have the AIS system working for you.

[@Paul_Crosbie]

Wonderful sailing guys, much respect!

[@lachiedarby8812]

Awesome video, love the footage of setting sails and all your procedures. Keep it up.

[@graeme-sailingskeptic]

Thank you - I needed my fix of offshore sailing today!

[@pauljolly9320]

Great following your adventures. Especially this episode dropping into Robe. I’m originally from South Australia and that was a great spot to go camping. I’ve been overseas now for quite a few years, so seeing home again brings back great memories. 👍

[@davidjma7226]

Brilliant! As a yachtie I really enjoy watching this from Oman and as a South Australian I miss the Southern Ocean! Great work. Fair winds and friendly seas, both of you.

[@carolbell8008]

Hi, this video was fantastic!! Fantastic sailing experience; You are good!!

[@scottswineford6714]

Never fails, I always learn something or unlearn something wrong. Thought the wind direction was constant to the south.

[@victorbitter583]

Wind direction is always "from", never "to".

[@MaShcode]

Spectacular perspective. Say that five times fast! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@tonymorgan2813]

Just getting into sailing...this was a fantastic video...keep them coming!!

[@coreybock2066]

Good to see you back on the water again!

[@cornishhh]

Wonderful footage as always. Looking forward to seeing what's changed in Robe; it's about thirty years since I've been there.

[@grogera271]

Awesome vlog as usual and educational, sound track at 12:30 was a perfect 👌

[@cosmicam888]

Good evening guys, great videos. Greetings from Europe!
