Beautifully shot, really enjoyed journeying with you through the Whitsunday's...

[@SailingKokoro]

You both are going to put National Geographic out of business. Your videos are so calming and entertaining. Love the music. We depart on our circumnavigation next year. Your inspiring.

[@CatGreatcircle]

I hope you’ll enjoy it like we do!

Stunning part of the world. Thanks for sharing.

[@alfreddaniels3817]

Lovely sailing. The droneshots from the manta are great. 👍👍

[@nj1nj169]

Manta is absolutely beautiful, one of my favorites

[@BrotherMichaeloftheCross]

The mantas are so graceful :)

[@robertmagrini]

She is so big that the remora looks like a nurse shark! Ehehehe

[@stevelawrie9115]

What a dirty trick to film her while she was enjoying a beer. :)

[@rayb3117]

I do not think my arms could reach from each end of that ray. It is huge. Beautiful but huge

[@CatGreatcircle]

You wouldn’t want to have arms like that 🤣

[@brettgraham1966]

Great video 👍 How come you guys are talking about a new boat already? This one is awesome 😄👌

[@CatGreatcircle]

Yes it is! We sold her already years ago per end of 2024 though. I am pretty sure the next one might be at least as awesome

[@el_capitan__]

Still in the outremer family? A gunboat?😳

[@EricVanDerValk_sv.Falcon]

👍

[@tonyfromaus7855]

Lovely shots. Really appreciate you sharing the voyages. Can you tell us what the short lines tied to the starboard stay are for please?

[@CatGreatcircle]

They’re just to break the airflow and thereby the resonating of the stays by certain wind speeds and angles

[@tonyfromaus7855]

@@CatGreatcircle ah thanks. I’ve seen that elsewhere as a spiral up the stay. Yours provides handles so I suppose that’s an extra feature! :)

[@mariepain5489]

Hi guys love your work , just one question do you use the engines to charge the batteries or are you solar panel’s enough,noticed how you use very minimal engine hours ?

[@CatGreatcircle]

Normally the solar panels are enough on anchor but not during sailing as the sails cover the panels too much We have a genset to recharge the batteries when needed

[@rogerdilley4359]

Kia Ora team, it’s a shame that you had to rocket up the coast from Airlie Beach as there are so many places worth a visit between there and Cairns. Just remember life is all about the journey not the destination! Rog

[@CatGreatcircle]

Imagine how may places there are between La Grande Motte and La Grande Motte 🤣🙈😇

[@jeffzana4907]

merci

[@thomasthornton5737]

😃👍👍👍❤

[@gregmorgan8900]

I am curious, how much faster do you think you sail per hour than Blueaway, e.g. 1 - 2 knots? Thanks

[@CatGreatcircle]

Saga (O55#1) and Blueway are pretty close now between Rodrigues and Mauritius, Saga goes 3 knots faster. That’s our experience as well, going 50 to 80% faster
