[@trevorcavanagh5843]

Well edited, nice choice of music, our area we live has a multitude of adventure , only restricted by your imagination and health. I've been doing this kind of activity for 40 years here.

[@Sail2spear]

Don’t ever stop mate , we are super lucky to live in this part of the world 🌎

[@RobsBushcraftandAdventures]

First video I've seen of yours. I've got to say it wasn't too bad at all. 👍🏻

[@Sail2spear]

Outstanding mate... Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸

[@Sail2spear]

Love the positive feedback , especially when it’s from another country 🙌 to Spain 🇪🇸☺️

[@paultaylor3856]

Brilliant video. I’ve really enjoyed this series, you never disappoint.

[@Sail2spear]

Thanks a lot Paul , great to get comments like yours mate

[@ron9543]

Incredible as always! I'm a long time fan, and I've seen a lot of your videos. I'm from (the more wild, Northern) California, USA. As a newcomer to the sport, I'd be interested to hear and see more of your habits and experience regarding the relevant skills (like safety, navigation, communication, and meteorology/tidal knowledge). Your procedures for radio checks, how you are able to determine weather or tides without using the internet, sailing maneuvers and how to tack, how to ride currents,. I've also noticed the camaraderie you have with your kayaking friends... it's hard to explain, but whether from my personal experiences, or the cultural differences between my geographic location and yours (California and Australia), I am inspired by just how friendly, relaxed, and down-to-earth you and your friends are. I have a dream of seeing (or even sailyaking) the Great Barrier Reef, and seeing some whale sharks up close!

[@Sail2spear]

Super cool to hear you’ve been watching the channel for a while , I like to think the videos are getting better ha ha I will take in those comments and endeavour to talk more about those things in future videos , also just drop me questions in the comments anytime , I always try to reply as soon as I get the time Thanks again for watching and the support

[@TomKirkman1]

Looks like a great trip. Well done.

[@Sail2spear]

Cheers Tom , yes loved the trip , can’t wait to do something bigger

[@perfdavid]

I really like and enjoy your videos. I know how much work goes into them. I sold my AI and got a TI. I am a bigger guy, around 280lbs or 127kg. I wanted something I could carry more gear in because of weight and have room to carry gear in the front part where the other person would sit….plus I like day sailing with friends. Have you contemplated getting a TI after seeing your friend’s TI on this trip? Just curious.

[@Sail2spear]

Absolutely , I was toying with the idea of either , in the end I decided with the AI due to it being lighter and easier to handle , usually by the time I reach the islands I’m buggered and being that bit lighter makes it easier to pull up the beach , sometimes it can be 50 meters plus of distance I need to pull my kayak up , I do wait for the tides if possible but sun light can be limited in the arvo

[@cornelius-u4c]

How do you keep some of your gear (mirage drive) from rusting? You are mostly in salt water & no clear water to rinse the salt off,...or maybe it doesn't rust that fast

[@Sail2spear]

@@cornelius-u4c I’ve had no issues with rusting so far , I normally give it a good wash when ever I reach a good water surface as o do with all my gear but the longest it’s not been washed is about two weeks , have you had trouble with the drive rusting ?

[@cornelius-u4c]

@@Sail2spear Good to hear, thanks! I haven't had any rust issues, I've only done day trips, haven't been out for more than a day. I usually wash mine with soap & a good rinse. Was curious about the longer journeys as you have been doing. I plan to do longer trips in the future sometime. (Philippines island hopping). 🙂 Thanks for the reply! Happy sailing!

[@q9920867]

😮Just come across your channel. I'm looking to buy either an AI or a TI. Is there any reason you dont use splash tarps/ guards on the front of your boats, as I would imagine you would get splashed every wave?

[@Sail2spear]

I live in the tropics so being splashed cools me off on hot days , if I lived in less warmer conditions they are something id consider, what's your temps like ?

[@experienceaustralia2023]

Hey Mark do you live near Mackay i have an island and would love to catch up sometime. Cheers

[@Sail2spear]

Sure do I’m out in the valley , sounds great , didn’t know there was anybody else in Mack town with a hobie , be good to do some trips

[@jordmiller84]

Hi Mark! Love the videos. Are you still sailing? I'm in Mackay and am soon to receive our Tandem Island. Your adventures get me excited about what's possible. Just have to work out how far I can push it with the kids. Cheers.
