Sailing around the Faroe Islands

[@tupaia]

Sorry Wales ! 🤦

[@rnunezc.4575]

Your channel is such breath of fresh air to me. The takes, music, no selfies and endless talking etc muchas gracias amigos!. Keep cruising and filming. Best luck!❤

[@MrMycalifornia]

Life, like the wind, shapes our journeys in unexpected ways. Watching your adventures, I see a philosophical dance between human intent and nature's will. Missing the weather window and circling the Faroe Islands twice feels like a poetic reminder: the path we take is often not the one we plan, yet it’s rich with unseen treasures. May Patagonia gift you the same wisdom-whether the wind is gentle or fierce, it carries you forward, filling your sails with strength and discovery. Bon voyage!

[@thomasconroy4684]

Beautiful cinematography.

[@willmcneill3108]

I often come back to these beautiful videos. Stunning places and adventures, stunningly put together. On a lighter note I like that you've spelt 'Wales' like the marine mammal on your map near the beginning! Also looks like you might have broken your coccyx on your slide down the hillside at the end there! Hope it wasn't too painful. And thanks again for these - I'm hoping you'll have another amazing (and filmed!) adventure soon.

[@tupaia]

Yeah what an embarrassing typo, aha! I had a sore back for a few days after that slide down the hill but nothing serious thankfully! Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the videos! Cheers

[@БертранРассел-ж6в]

Це неймовірно красиво. Я обовʼязково повторю цю подорож! 🇺🇦 It's incredibly beautiful. I will definitely repeat this trip!

Magnifique. Le bateau s'améliore, les marins progressent, les images suivent! Banzaï.

[@nellykinghorn]

Beautifully filmed, edited and scored. Really love all three of your films. Thanks

[@buddyhugger]

Tout est magnifique dans vos réalisations. Le voyage, l'esprit, le travail et les images, bien sûr. C'est de la poésie. La seule chose qui peut vous porter à ce niveau est votre âme. Bravo à vous, bien entendu, mais surtout merci. Merci infiniment.

Absolutely beautiful....again!😍 You have really captured the atmosphere of this wonderful place in all its varying conditions with truly stunning footage...awesome! Hoping to get out there ourselves next year.

[@patmer34]

Magnifique ! Splendide ! Un sens artistique certain, des plans époustouflants et de plus, marins émérites car pour aller dans ces mers nordiques et froides à 2, avec certes, un excellent bateau (dufour 35) mais que 35 pieds, chapeaux bas ! Avec tout mon sens marin, je le dis, vous êtes sacrément "couillus", encore mille fois bravo ! Merci à Brice de nous faire partager votre vidéo et je m'abonne direct... Amitiés marines. Pat

Superbe, toujours aussi spectaculaire vos vidéos et toujours de belles aventures. Et derrière ça de vrais marins ! Peu de navigateurs le ferait. Un peu grâce à vous j'étais allé en Norvège en 2021 avec mon vieux 10m. Mais là je ne pense pas suivre.... Pour moi l'an prochain c'est de nouveau la Norvège. Continuez à nous faire rêver.

That sliding down the hill must felt like great thrill in this stunning archipelago. Great shot, Loved the film.

[@DaleNewnham]

It looked like he hit a rock!!

[@marchingontogether2571]

love the way that you spell wales

[@tupaia]

😅

[@CunningMoto]

Absolutely incredible footage and production one again! Out of interest what gear did you mainly use for the film? Thanks for sharing!

[@tupaia]

Thanks Brendan! I use a Mavic Air 2 for aerial shots and a Sony A7R ii (Sigma 14-24mm and Sigma 24-70mm) for most of the other shots. I also use a GoPro 9 for time-lapses or when it gets really wet, though it doesn't perform well in cloudy conditions...

[@daddyzigo]

Vos vidéos sont trop bien! Quand pourrons-nous voir la prochaine ? ♥️⛵️👍🏻

[@tupaia]

Merci ! On travaille sur la prochaine en ce moment. On espère pouvoir la sortir d'ici quelques semaines 🙂

[@bagbihan]

Bonjour, est-ce que quelqu'un saurait comment généré des cartes animés comme il fait à 02:40 ? Does anyone know how I could generate animated maps as it is in 02:40 ? Merci / Thank you.

[@NiklasKrog]

Just find your channel and LOVE your videos. Storytelling at it's very best. My wife and I have been to the Faroes a couple of times and will go back as soon as we can. Wonderful to see the archipelago from the sea. What kind of drone are you using? And I guess it must be hard to land it on a moving ship. :)

[@tupaia]

Thanks! It was our first time in the Faroes and we loved it. Beautiful landscape and amazing people. We used a Mavic Air 2 for the drone shots. The landing was definitely the most challenging part. I almost lost it after the first shot there (3:37) because of the strong current.

[@NiklasKrog]

@@tupaia I have an Air 2S - that I almost lost trying to land on a moving whalesafari boat (after filming whales). Taught me a lesson about drones and boats. My wife and I watched your three films in a row. A wonderful experience.

[@chriszanf]

Not sure where you got the map from at 2:50 but the country is spelt 'Wales' , without the H! (or 'Cymru', in the Welsh language) Beautifully shot and edited footage!

[@tupaia]

I did the map myself but it was already too late when I realised my mistake 😅 I was so focused on getting the Faroese names right that I completely overlooked the other ones. Apologies to the Welsh people and whales too!

[@jej-uy4yh]

bonjour, c'est toujours avec plaisir que je reviens admirer vos videos, espérant que d'autres viendront prochainement s'ajouter... voulant moi aussi naviguer dans ces coins, je voulais savoir votre retour d'expérience sur votre éolienne, bonne idée ou à refaire vous l'échangeriez contre plus de panneaux solaires ? merci.

[@tupaia]

Merci pour votre message ! Les deux sont complémentaires. Dans ces régions pas très ensoleillées, soit il faut de gros panneaux solaires, soit (comme nous) compléter avec un éolienne qui produit beaucoup quand le vent est >15nds. Par contre la nôtre est assez bruyante, donc à refaire j'en prendrai une silencieuse... Bonnes nav' !

[@UneBoleeDAir_Photo-Tech]

Salut Lauric, c'est Brice du CEFREM. Un énorme bravo pour cette vidéo : j'ai revu les précédentes qui étaient déjà super mais là il y a un énorme step up je trouve, j'en ai vraiment pris plein la tronche ! Les images en elles-mêmes déjà sont exceptionnelles avec bon nombre de plans complètement dingues. Pourrais-tu d'ailleurs préciser le matos utilisé pour filmer (drone et boîtier) STP ? Puis le montage est comme j'aime : sans "chichis" (transitions ultra travaillées, bruitages à outrance, effets de partout) mais parfaitement en rythme avec des musiques mettant superbement en valeur le tout. Bref respect et merci ! Je la partage sur ma chaîne en espérant que ça fasse d'autant plus de monde qui verra ce super boulot.

[@tupaia]

Hey Brice ! Merci pour les compliments, ça fait super plaisir 🙂On essaye de faire un peu mieux à chaque fois mais c'est vrai que ça prend du temps ces histoires de montage ! Pour le matos, j'utilise un Mavic Air 2 pour les prises de vue aériennes, un Sony A7R ii en fin de vie (+Sigma 14-24mm and Sigma 24-70mm) pour la plupart des autres sauf les time-lapse que je fais à la GoPro 9.

[@moonshine3333]

Amazing video as usual but 2:41 … Whales?? 🐳🐳🐳😳😊

[@tupaia]

Oops! 😅

[@pierremoissonnier7659]

Merci pour le partage de ce magnifique voyage, sans un mot, mais plein les yeux. Ayant ce même projet, j’aurais aimé savoir combien de temps vous a pris le voyage en bateau - aller et retour ?

[@tupaia]

Il y a environ 800 miles entre la Bretagne et le sud des Féroé en passant par l'ouest de l'Écosse, donc il faut compter autour d'une semaine de navigation sans escale. On a eu des problèmes mécaniques en cours de route et on s'est donc arrêtés en Écosse pour récupérer les pièces. En tout cela nous a pris une vingtaine de jours pour atteindre les Féroé. Pour le retour c'est moins facile car le vent dominant est de secteur sud/sud-ouest, donc on a tiré des bords sur une bonne partie du trajet. Pour bien profiter des îles, il vaut mieux prévoir large car les dépressions passent toutes sur les Féroé (c'était le cas cet été du moins) ! Bonne nav' et merci pour votre commentaire !

[@pierremoissonnier7659]

@@tupaia merci pour ces informations (rien ne remplace le vécu)

[@allandoyle1809]

Wonderful films. One question, what maps do you use in the films and how do you show your routes?

[@tupaia]

Thanks! I create the maps myself (hence the errors in places names sometimes... [sorry wHales!]) in QGIS and create the animation with After Effect. It takes a bit of practice but once you have it, it's very easy. There are tons of KZbin tutorials to help you out. Cheers!

[@rickpyne]

I am interested in the name of your vessel TUPAIA that is the name of a famous Polynesian navigator, I think taken on board by Captain James Cook on one of his voyages around the South Pacific known and highly regarded throughout the South Pacific islands. Did you name your boat and is it referring to him? Can you tell us more about your boat please? Design, length etc,etc Thanks

[@tupaia]

Hi Rick, yes, we named our boat after the Polynesian navigator. He was from the island I grew up on (Raiatea) but I only heard of his story when I started reading about Cook's voyages... We figured it would be a good name for the boat. Also, it's easy to say and spell on the VHF in any country 🙂 Our boat is a Dufour 35, the old model from '74, when they were still heavy-handed on the fibreglass and resin for the hull! She weights about 8t when loaded with supplies and has a "long" fin keel, so she's maneuverable, tracks well, and can easily be balanced. We won't win races but she's very confortable and secure even when the sea get rough. We've been living onboard for more than three years now and made many improvements and repairs each winter. And now she is finally ready for her biggest adventure so far. We are sailing to Patagonia next week, with a few stops along the way! 🤞Thanks for watching the video!

[@rickpyne]

Thanks for your reply, Why I asked was I have been thinking of renaming my boat, a M&W32 sloop, in honour of this great navigator, but I"m a bit hesitant as I don"t wish to offend any of the peoples on the South Pacific islands I wish to visit, Would that be insulting to these peoples? What do you think? Good luck with your planned voyage , I will watch your upcoming vids. Make sure your boat is bulletproof. Can you make a vid regarding the improvements you have made please? I am just doing a total refit on a bulletproof hull myself and any suggestions would be helpful .@@tupaia

[@Coleen-Love]

So nice! -- QUESTION -- Can I ask how you came up with the idea of recording your sailing and not having anyone speaking? Such a good idea... Also, what is your destination? Are you doing a circumnavigation? Such a great bunch of sailing videos.

[@tupaia]

Hey Colleen - Thank you! We always liked filming our sailing trips but are pretty uncomfortable in front of the camera? Initially it was for family and friends but then we figured other might be interested too so here we are. Also we are pretty terrible story tellers, so it's better for everyone if we don't speak! We were initially based in Paimpol (France) and travelled during the summer but since Sept 2023 we left for good. The plan after Patagonia is to sailing to French Polynesia, stay for a little while, and then we will see...

[@Coleen-Love]

@@tupaia ...well the quality of the video is off the charts good! Can I ask how much you spent on the sailboat and did you have to spend money and time getting it fixed up? Looks just about prefect for what you are doing and would be interested in doing something similar.
