[@allenshepherd5225]

Thank you for the well-told story! Love your channel and your inventive map-pointer!

[@DonnaByer]

You guys...💗 Got everything crossed for a fish for Josh - loved the rainbow dreamtime story thankyou x

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Thanks Donna! Plenty of fish ahead 😆

[@manueldinoris843]

Great video guys, wow that swell was something else ah, great footage capturing that. Joshy mate your drone skills are top notch lol ha ha, thanks for sharing ur awesome adventure with us KZbin followers😀👍

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

[@Captkris24]

I just found your channel last week and I have been binge watching. I watched today's episode out on my anchor in the Sunny FL Keys. I love your videos!

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey mate! That’s so awesome to hear you’re catching up and doing it whilst aboard your own boat. Thanks for the feedback and enjoy what’s ahead, can’t wait to hear what your fav ep is! Cheers and welcome aboard, Josh

[@torreym]

Fantastic sound track! Beautiful!

[@mattn7415]

What a beautiful part of the world.

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Sure is! Glad to share it with you

[@Stevos_HookedonRods4844]

A great sailing stretch. I Amire that you tell The Dreamtime Story of the Rainbow Sands 🙏🙏 Traditional stories would be great if they could be incorporated through your journey I also like how you acknowledge the traditional owners of that area & their language I hope your fishing & crabbing produces food for your travels Respect to you Both 🙏 🙌

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

That’s great feedback Stevos, glad you enjoy the Dreamtime stories in our videos and we definitely intended to share more as we continue to explore. Cheers mate, Josh

[@Stevos_HookedonRods4844]

👍🙏🙏 @@Thenewkidsonthedock

[@rosscuthbertson2679]

Love the inclusion of First Nations Dreamtime stories

[@peterfrebold]

.... the clips you showed of the disturbed waters at Tin Can Bar sure were something, not for the faint of heart ..... Josh you sure are starting to collect quite the bit of kit for your sea food harvesting endeavors. Good on you .... was wondering if that spoiled fish you got from a mate wood not have been good in the trap ..... thx for the share .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ......

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey Peter it probably would have been great in the traps. I’ll remember for next time! Stoked you’re enjoying the videos mate, I love your sign off by the way 😁 cheers, Josh

[@fireballs1000]

Yeewwwehoooo big love

[@jacana25]

Hey, thanks for the acknowledgment of the video. Glad it was useful. Also glad you had an uneventful crossing of the WBB, unlike the boats I videoed. Common wisdom is less than 15kts wind and less than 1.5m swell and cross it 1 hr before high tide.

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Thanks for getting in touch! Your videos are great to observe the bar and different vessels tackling it. We will only ever plan to cross in those conditions you stated, we have heard plenty of stories to send shivers up the spine. Cheers, Josh

[@colinpryor6590]

Looks like you got pretty good condition to cross the bar. The last time I crossed that bar was in a friend's 47ft Riviera and we had waves crashing over the bow. Enjoy your ventures.

[@lamejohnson5333]

Keep on fishing brother, the big one is coming 🤙🏽

[@cesargonzalez5376]

I love this story 🤙🤙🤙

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Cheers mate!

[@desertchild3550]

Cool video. Hope little goggo-thingy gets a extra snack because her/his tail is used as pointer on the map (LOL)

[@bryanbadger6841]

Love your channel guys. Fraser is on my bucket list. Keep those episodes coming. Atb from across the ditch here in Nz.

[@xianstuff2910]

Great rainbow story

[@cameronbest6380]

So stoked you got a yabbie pump. Yew keep up the good work legend's. Chicken necks work good.

[@waynedahl6904]

Wow great video. I show my grandsons your channel to show them what their lives could be like. But for me I am going to sleep cuddling with a totaly awesome cuddle monster 2 yo boy. Honestly, thanks.

[@bidmac13]

Love the soundtrack and the vid ... just had a week with Rob Maga Luna and now home to catch up on things ... Love you both and sendng big hugs ... Nana Bern xx

[@TheAtma50]

Another fine episode, How is the new diet going, and have ye noticed any changes in your body with the diet? Having childhood memories of holiday destinations are always the best!! Stay Safe & Fair Winds!!

[@stevecrombie5357]

Can't help noticing the variety of sun glasses (sunnies?) you have Pheobe. I take it you do all the editing also? A few more days and I'll be all caught up.

[@cvs8545]

Nice music!

[@suzettebarocci2835]

Cant believe im 1st...... keep up the good work. .

[@davidbamford4721]

I’ve seen a photo of a yacht crossing the Wide Bay Bar where the front half of the yacht was airborne! I kid you not!

[@davidbamford4721]

I loved the tale of the rainbow and the evil boomerang. More of these stories please!

[@aaronnunn5240]

Josh , you got the crab bait and the dog bait mixed up Pal!

[@richscherer1350]

What is the green light on your stern that I see? Great videos!!

[@daveamies5031]

Have you a plan for Cyclone season? north or south, either way I'm sure you'll make great videos about it 👍 "Phoebe gives us her re-telling of the Dreamtime story of the Carlo Sandblow in Rainbow Beach." and she did an awesome job 👍

[@aaronnunn5240]

The story at the end sounds like an interpretation of an asteroid impact, the colour and the bang, a sonic boom looks like a boomerang and is created by a collision with the sky.

[@senatornoam7313]

great story telling & fantastic selection of world music 😎

[@edmundbarrett-lennard6640]

Yay free crap pot!!!!

[@arthurschuler8906]

Don't let your engine run long idle. Carbon builds up on the valves and they will burn!

[@wayneridden2651]

I love your posts. Totally enjoy your show. Just a couple of things I want to ask you, if I may. You refer each episode to the original land owners, fair enough, your thing. Can you explain Bradfield Art? I have asked this question many times but it seems the sensitivities of people prevent them from commenting. I would love to hear your opinion. Also, just a small thing...while you thank the creature you are about to consume for its sacrifice, fine by me, do you thank the creator of said creature? And if I may, by feeding creatures food, eg. Chips to birds, you are in fact unbalancing the eco system. I know, humans mean well, but animals don't eat our food, the forage for their own. Anyway, enough from me. I hope you don't find this offensive, it's not meant to be. It's just an observation. Love your channel. Keep up the good work. (Wayne)

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey Wayne, thanks so much for the words of support. You have touched on a few great topics here. Firstly we haven’t been to the Kimberly yet, having not viewed Bradfield art nor having read much on it we lack an informed opinion. I would like to respond to your question by directing you to a video of Free Range Sailing, who we adore. Their episode ‘What we learnt about the Kimberly rock art’ is really informative and interesting. We completely agree that by feeding wild animals you create an imbalance in their natural systems, and we have to make a conscious effort not to play in to ours/ their desires for connection via sharing food. Before every meal we thank the beings that brought our meal to table, regardless of what you believe in practicing gratitude is vital. Cheers mate, Josh

[@wayneridden2651]

Thank you for taking the time to reply. May the wind be at your back and the sun on your shoulders ❤

[@kenegan7649]

Is the place that bad!? It's all I hear ...the dreaded wide Bay bar

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

One thing we have learnt and always consider is that any place can be bad in the wrong conditions. Don’t be here when it’s happening there!

[@PerthHunter]

Its K'Gari. Calling it Fraser is an affront to our first nations people.

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

You couldn’t be more right! This video was filmed back in early May, a month before the official name change from Fraser to K’Gari in June 2023. In our most recent video we also refer to it verbally as Fraser (because at the point of filming it had not yet been changed) however in the description it’s K’Gari. Thank you for the reminder 🖤💛❤️

[@dirkramer1789]

Okay...is Australia

You need more skin to win

[@paton57]

Wish our bar crossings were that smooth, guys go search NZ Greymouth bar crossing and get some idea why my boxers came close to having shit running out of them on more than one occasion 😂😂😂
