Giant Tarpon Feeding & Paradise Found at Virgin Gorda - S1:E29

We arrive at Virgin Gorda in the BVI and find paradise there. We do some hiking with spectacular views at the Bitter End Yacht Club and swim with giant Tarpon at Saba Rock Resort. We also encounter a swimming goat!

Megan has such a positive attitude to everything. Both of you guys are absolutely amazing. Found out about this channel yesterday and already on episode 29 season 1

[@whiterabbit2786]

Sometimes, I imagine Megan in 30 yrs, all settled down in a mundane routine life, reminiscing to her nieces and nephews about how she left the amenities and comforts of home and sailed the Caribbean for a year. Of course those kids would be so jealous of her grand adventures.

[@vickiwhite6374]

Love this video!! So nice and easy. One of my favorites. Have fun and safe sailing (and hug my granddogs for me)!!

[@BradColemanisHere]

Love this video. This one really sums up Sailing Doodles up to this point very well. It has a little bit of everything! The only mystery at this point is whether or not Megan is just a "good friend" or more. :)

[@bronsont7280]

Love your pups, and your travels! 😊

[@BeachBow]

It's obvious that Megan has way more control over those dogs than you do. LOL!!

[@Sailingdoodles]

+BeachBow haha for sure!

[@FlyIndy]

Fantastic! Thanks for the video. Always enjoy them.

[@treadhead7651]

another great video. megans giggling whilst filming the tarpon killed me. safe journeys.

[@Sailingdoodles]

+Douglas Surber hah she is a very happy person!

+Arian0027 haha yeah she enjoyed that!

[@MeganBinkley]

I'm not far behind ya and will hope to catch up to present-day videos soon and maybe even reach out to ya to fill you in on what I'm working on for the Cruising Community to make your channel and life soooo much more easier than it currently is now. Cheers to ya Brother.

[@naivanmladic9404]

[@bobblack6816]

Goat!! That's funny!!!

[@waynekwoods2799]

Hi , Today June 22, 2017 and you have over 33,000 subs. Keep the videos coming.

[@Hauler24]

12:51 The true side to Megan.. HAHAHA!

[@corbysherman4710]

Love all your videos. I wish I had the balls to give up everything and do what you're doing. I've visited a lot of the places you've been so far so it's cool to see them in your videos. I love the Caribean got married on Grand Cayman. It didn't last though. The tropical storm we got two days after my wedding was a sign of things to come. Wish you guys all the best from Syracuse, NY.

[@Sailingdoodles]

+Corby Sherman hey it wasn't balls that made it happen. It was just circumstances. I never would have done it if it hadn't been basically forced upon me. Super glad it happened now though!

[@johnrichard6802]

The island beyond the small one you pointed out is Nekker Island owned by Virgin Airways, Richard Branson. It was wiped out in one of the recent hurricanes.

[@SvdiscoveryCat]

We loved Saba Rock and your drone shots are amazing! That's our boat at 3:44 (the catamaran to the left with the rear sunshades down)! Had some technical difficulty with our drone so know what you must be going through now. Any chance you might have more footage of SV Discovery? I was able to wave to Megan on our way out... and regret not stopping to say hi. Lost my shot at selfies with youtube famous... maybe next time.

[@Sailingdoodles]

+SV Discovery ha ah too bad would have loved to meet you! I'll go back and take a look at the footage to see what I have of your boat.

[@MeganBinkley]

SV Discovery Nice to see you either way! Hopefully we'll cross paths again!

[@silasmarner7586]

Goose: "I'll bark at it. That'll change things"...

[@Sailingdoodles]

+Silas Marner yeah that's his philosophy alright

[@MartyD4u]

Another cool Video, interesting, informative, fun, hiking was cool too. Request: Consider challenging other cruisers to a live Beach Volleyball game, might be fun.

[@Sailingdoodles]

+Marty Dufour hey megan would totally be up for that!

[@MeganBinkley]

Marty Dufour I would give so many things to have a day full of volleyball out here! Crossing my fingers.

[@MartyD4u]

Get out there and challenge Rick More and other Cruisers you run into. Put an open invitation you will kick anyones ass in Volleyball for a beer., Make it a fund raiser event.

[@MartyD4u]

Come on Megan put it out there to kick ass in Volleyball, I got a feeling you would be awesome at it.

[@Sailingdoodles]

+Marty Dufour haha I like it! Open challenge!

[@JohninCle]

Funny, sailing actually made me reconsider a flying career. Great videos as usual. Hey, second video in a row I noticed you have a slight spelling mistake in a title "videos" at 52 seconds.

[@Sailingdoodles]

+S/V Dulcinea doh! Thanks a bunch! I'll get it fixed for the next one!

[@stevekaluf2708]

Guys, I've sent a message to a friend of mine that works for the company that manufactures your drone. They are one of the top companies in the business. If he is not traveling out of the country, he should be able to get in touch with you regarding your problems recently. I've given him your FB page and YT channel addresses. I'm really enjoying your videos, you are one of my favorite sailing channels on KZbin.

[@Sailingdoodles]

+Steve Kaluf oh wow that's awesome. Thanks! I sent the flight logs and data to the company but have not heard anything back yet. The data seems to suggest motor failure but it has been a Great drone

[@howiefelter22]

Awesome

[@Sailingdoodles]

+Guy L. Thanks Guy!

[@Schnot]

Whatever floats your goat!

[@Sailingdoodles]

+Schnot haha !

[@jamesjoyce5611]

BVI wow

[@markgotham5372]

I'm sure it's a Lot of Work....But it Really Shows up in your Video's...... ;-) Mark S.F. Ca.

[@Sailingdoodles]

+Mark Gotham hey thanks a lot Mark! Still learning how to make better videos

[@kennethparker1032]

You already do a very good job of telling a story with you videos. With your skillset and ability to learn quickly I am really looking forward to watching you get even better. And I will happily help in any way I can. Love to discuss editing (the process and the tools) with you at some time. Has Bridge (her real name) from VideoBlocks/GraphicStock contacted you yet? If not let me know and I will remind her.

[@kellyjohnston8399]

❤️

[@jackwmoody]

Another great video. Nice to see the dogs having fun, too. When you leave them on the boat, are they inside or up on deck? Are they good guard dogs?

[@Sailingdoodles]

+Jack Moody well, if we are going to be where I can see the boat I will let them run around as they please but if I can't see the boat I keep them down below. They have never fallen off the boat but I don't want to take any chances. Most of the time though we take them with us unless dogs aren't allowed. They are more security monitor dogs... they may not guard me but they will at least alert me and any potential thieves don't know they are big babies

[@chuckrothy]

Bob, I am SURE that if they saw you in real "trouble" they would "step up". I am positive that I would NOT want to be the one laying violent hands on you with the dogs around.

[@bryonensminger6802]

I'm not sure what that boat was called but I seen one lije it on a boating show on tv and the deck would hidrolicly extend out over the pontons on each side to make a large fairly stable party deck had coolers and a grill bult in

[@LifeatSixKnots]

Whats up with resorts not allowing dogs? If the owners are responsible, it shouldn't be an issue. Love how happy dogs are when they get to just run on the beach. Katie would do the same to the goat. She wants to say hi to everything. Very cool swimming with the tarpon. Cool fish.

[@user-ki8ls5fl9d]

Key words "If the owners are responsible". Many are not and I have seen an idiot yelling at someone for making a small wake in a dingy while their dog is shitting on the beach where kids are playing. Throw in a couple of dog fights and some barking and it is no wonder the resorts ban dogs. There is always someone who ruins it for everyone else.

[@LandoLeavesLand]

great shots in the beginning of the video bob... did you get the drone working again? sorry if you made mention of that already. Love watching everything you are doing that I will probably be doing next year unless I just jump across the pacific. Really helps. - Lando

[@LandoLeavesLand]

also, I feel like megan wasn't sure about doing this boat thing for a while and now she is full throttle .... am I reading that right? She seems happy that she fully decided on doing it.

[@LandoLeavesLand]

I guess I should have watched more at til after 5 mins when you spoke about the drone...sorry

[@Sailingdoodles]

+Lando Leaves Land yeah she I happy about it! It's a life changing thing. Yeah I will test fly the drone this weekend to see if it still works... here is hoping!

[@rickfrazier1148]

I'm surprised that goat didn't head butt the dogs. Goats can be ruthless!

[@chuckrothy]

I was thinking, "Oh shit! Juuuust about now....." Glad it didn't happen

[@MeganBinkley]

rick frazier Oh she made Goose see Tweety Birds for a little while. Lol I don't blame her!

[@LEE-wj3sz]

Great video. In 1 month I'll be there myself. Bobby, I met a pilot from Meacham. Is your dad a pilot also? He says he knows who you are. Somehow we started talking about Gulfstream operators at FTW and your name came up. What are the odds. Cheers.

[@geocruiser2.0]

you should try sometimes visit Philippines, especially palawan 🤣

[@svfreakitiki]

LOVE IT! Message me when you guys can talk, something interesting has developed. Cruisers Cove is expected to have around 650 members within it's first week.

[@Sailingdoodles]

+S\V Freaki Tiki cool we are sailing right now. Another 2 hours or so to go

[@jimmarshall5453]

Episode 30 disappeared also?

[@olhemi1]

😎👍

[@niceguy2171]

That Tarpon feeding is just wild to see, have fished for them before, but to see them feed like that up close is another experience all together! Another great video, and the dogs wondered about that funny looking dog in the water?? "what dog looks like that and has horns? funny looking critter, think we'll bark at it"

[@ericvialla7270]

posting your video on my fb ...👍....

[@Sailingdoodles]

+Eric Vialla hey thanks so much Eric! That's awesome!

[@ericvialla7270]

lost my account on fb cause of haters and jalous peoples but i m rebuilding my friends. my old fb account was hot ...4600 friends

[@dketcham-sparky]

Who was first Megan or Laura?

[@jerryallen8086]

All right Bob...we need to talk Sir! Can't seem to enjoy or participate in your and Megan's spontaneous "live feeds"...can't have that Bob! So I have GPS in my tractor...just not GPS guidance...so no text and drive, let alone a video from the BVI and Miss Megan in a bikini ;-) So I had an epiphany...and we need to talk...how can we accomplish that? Love the video by the way...and Megan..your laugh is nothing short of intoxicating. Well Done Again!!

[@chuckrothy]

This makes no sense

[@Sailingdoodles]

+Jerry Allen great! shoot me an email at [e-mail] and we can start from there .

[@MeganBinkley]

Jerry Allen We'll definitely try to give a more extended heads up, BUT then would it still be spontaneous? 🙃 I hope we get to chat soon! And thank you! Something about Bob getting the crap scared out of him makes my day. Lol Cheers from Culebra!

[@jerryallen8086]

Chuck Rothy Understandable

[@jerryallen8086]

Megan Binkley You are correct Young Miss. Sent Bob an email...I look forward to your thoughts! Cheers?!? Missed the sound of clinking glasses ;-)

[@zzzxxzzz4797]

If I win the trip on the boat someday Megan will write my name over and over again 😋

[@rasselas36]

I noticed you have 4 flexible solar panels attached to your bimini. Would you share your thoughts about their performance, the brand and wattage? Thanks for considering my question.

[@Sailingdoodles]

+Perry Mc yeah they work well and a lot cheaper than building a structure to put solid panels. I get around 13-15 amps of charge on full sun. It doesn't keep up with what we use but helps some. They are 100 watts each. Total 400watts I think I need more like 800-1000 watts to handle our daily load.

[@rasselas36]

Thanks. Would you share the manufacturer of your panels?

[@zzzxxzzz4797]

Bobby , at the start of each video you tell us that you had a stroke that ended your career as a commercial pilot . You sold everything and bought a boat, then you point your little finger at the 📷 camera . Was that part of the results from the stroke that you point like that ? 😀

[@chetfoster6836]

Tarpon are good game fish...I think? Are they good eating????? Good ep.!!!

[@Sailingdoodles]

+chet foster I've never eaten one but I've heard they are not good eating. A lot of bone apparently

[@jimbeck553]

OMG such a good looking woman. Captain what is wrong with you? Marry that woman!!

[@mrrichards6007]

Why?

[@jasonbradbury5073]

Hi Megs!! I have to say I have watched from the start and Bobby was a little annoying with the facial hair lol BUT he has come a long way and def has grown on me...( a judgy, picky, female) I think maybe this sailboat story could turn into a love boat story for you and Bobby??? ;-) we hope so..Love and Wishes Amie & Jason B. PS We know Goose will always be your first love

[@christopherjuntti5511]

I think someone threw up on your hats. Do you need me to send you Astros hats to replace those?!

[@rickhayes4090]

Hey guys , hello from so. mo ozarks. I got a ?? Are tarpon very good to eat, just asking. Love your channel. You need a rum sponsor or beer sponsor, save some money.

[@Sailingdoodles]

+Rick Hayes two great sponsors to have! Maybe one day. I've never eaten tarpon but I hear they are not good eating and are extremely bony

[@joeszcz5678]

first

[@Sailingdoodles]

+Joe Szcz thanks Joe!

[@Fernandonandonator]

to much not to like+ and then all the other stuff. Thanx

[@dirtroadsailing6418]

I've heard that human calves taste like chicken to Tarpon, beware.

[@jbhann]

Wonder when cruisers will start buying jammers to prevent these drones from flying over their boats and intruding onto their privacy?

[@wkeil1981]

jb hann this feeds my KZbin appetite. Thank you

[@charlesbake6647]

Your dogs are guests and should be told to respect all natives.

[@daddyrabbit835]

Man... you guys are going to need new livers.

[@timsommers5987]

Yeah....im gonna send some milk thistle and tumeric

[@anselb2000]

All dogs should learn the word "NO" and the consequences of ignoring it. Many problems solved!

[@jimmyz688]

Actually like your aviation stuff. Doubt FAA will ever let you return....which is sad. What is really sad is they might let you be a single pilot GA....but will never give you 1st class even with a second pilot needed flying big corporate iron.

[@marktaylor484]

An own goal, that is disappointing to see, and you should have been responsible enough to have avoided, rather than filming (and providing documentary evidence to the local regulatory body SPCA etc) you should have been a responsible owner who stepped in and took control of "worrying dog's", for example UK farmer's shoot (legally) dog's worrying livestock and this would have most definetly not made for a good KZbin video. An apology admission and an promise to control the puppie's in future must be an absolute minimum for this viewer to subscribe to this channel. It is so disappointing that your travelling companion had to be the one to step in between, whilst you continued to film and then decided to publish such content. So disappointed....

[@stevetrouble7080]

From the footage the dogs were not aggressive but curious and the goat was not worried as it did not run or attack. They were not "worrying" as defined in NZ, Australia or in the USA maybe it is different in the UK and they did call and remove the dog's.

[@jerryallen8086]

+Mark Taylor. Everyone has their passions...and I really dont want to admonish yours, but really? Two dogs barking at a static goat releiving itself in the ocean...far less stressed than the average human stuck in traffic....and you come unhinged? Put forth your voice and passion on CAFO..or perhaps the Agricultural Giants that pollute the earth with glyphosate...a hundred other far more worthy targets of your animal rights welfare position than 2 dogs barking at a pissing goat. And before you decide to reciprocate in kind.... I have a 45 year degree in agriculture.....you cannot lecture me on a single thing I don't already know. Perspective Mr. Taylor...Something the you and the world needs a whole lot more of.
