Our Home on the Reef - Free Range Sailing Ep 57

[@tomharrell1954]

Stunningly beautiful living coral reefs! With the beautiful Pascal! Fantastic!

[@mightyblues7]

I love how you don't worry about sharks or take any precautions, you just jump in!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

The precautions involve knowing what are safe conditions. There's probably a lot going on that the camera doesnt convey that is second nature after being a working diver for so many years.

[@bennuballbags2]

Oh my god...coral trout is divine!

[@NotBob223]

I've been diving (both scuba and free) for over 40 years and I never knew that clear the snorkel trick - makes perfect sense but I've always done it the other way (which can be fun when you've exhausted most of your air). I guess you also want to face the waves when you do it. Great video as always. 25 and 20 metres is very impressive - that's about 82 and 65 feet for our US friends. Three atmospheres of pressure down there. No wonder you needed the lights to brighten up the coral colours! Pas's bum has been getting a lot of screen time lately (not that I'm complaining!). Troy, you're going to have to catch up for the ladies! :-)

[@johnwebsterwallace4884]

Man! That cooked fish looked delectable. Torture...but I loved it. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Great episode.

[@mmoore102]

I only have one complaint-your videos end too quickly. So look forward to each and every one of them. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share in your adventures. Love to see the care you both take with the sea and coral you visit. Fish looked yummy...👍👍👍

[@restinpiecesfliesfpv5891]

If you crave lemon. Look up salt lemon. Its basically lemon in salt. It ferments and gets a nice mild flavor and last for month! And the best... it gets better with time!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Pascale does make that to a Moroccan recipe. Crazy flavors

[@sharptokill7594]

Really great to watch while In lockdown. Feeling like I'm on board with you & experiencing the whole journey, Cheers

[@percival3830]

As always, the laid back approach and gentle narrative pace sends me.

[@overlandteahouse1273]

Jeez, I have to remember not to watch these just before dinner. That fish looks soo.. good. LOL I'm on my boat in the Pacific Northwest with instant ramen left. Anyways, much love and grats for taking the time to create these.

[@mllawhorn5584]

Still binging 3-5 a day. Absolutely love your channel. Oh, and that fish looked delicious; in the class of my favorite seafood (grouper and sea bass family.)

[@ramabamaboomboom]

Sailing and diving, especially free diving go so well together. The freedom, the grace, and the thrill. All combine to provide a special calm when you have a still moment. Thanks for sharing the beauty.

[@somedaysailor7913]

Great tip on the snorkel. I guess I'm a little slow since I never thought of that ;)

[@sawingate]

Beautiful video. And beauty of a coral trout. Love what you do, Troy and Pascale.

[@barbaradando9508]

The underwater camera work is noticeably superior. Way to go!

[@garyharyett5776]

We never know what you will bring us in each episode but we do know that whatever it is, it will be inspirational and thanks once again for delivering my weekly glimpse into your unique perspectives.

[@tamaskiss1930]

Amazingly beautiful video again thank you

[@horstkotte6114]

nice one! A note on charging stuff: while inverters are quite efficient nowadays, most chargers for 220V/110V sadly are not. Often it's much more efficient to get DC/DC chargers, especially for power hungry equipment like laptops. DC chargers also vary in efficiency, a good one is like 98% efficient, on comparison a bad wall charger can be around 70%. rule of thump: if it gets hot, it's inefficient.

[@barrydeacon3551]

Amazing scenery and life on your boat.. The underwater photography out of this world👍 Really enjoy your channel big time… I live vicariously through you guys!!!! What a way of life!!!! Question: Major work was done to the boat. Your objective was to sail around Australia. Did you Accomplish that task and Are You Still Sailing Together on another Voyage???? Amazing couple👍 B Deacon Brandon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦

[@eTaurusXXL]

The new wind generator blades are just amazing! It was a quite unnerving sound the old ones made. It made it hard to listen to your first videos.

[@celticat61]

Watching your posts gives me such a sense of peace. Thank you both.

[@davidgiles5030]

This brought back fond memories of several dive trips to the reefs off of Cairns in the early 1980's. Thank you.

[@steviefordranger198]

More Pascale & Troy, yeah! How sublime to be out on the reef eating freshly caught Coral Trout and with lemons no less. Beautiful work.

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

Beautiful underwater shots thanks for sharing them... Also very good info on diving gear,,, My day of underwater are over age and your body have their way of letting you know... I never got to dive salt water but did my share of fresh water VERY COLD fresh water... LOL... Great video over all. Thanks for the time y'all put into making it... I sure do enjoy watching your videos as I lay here in this bed... Be blessed... BBE..

[@peteraustin9728]

Another Great Vid, Excellent film, Music and the location awesome. Thanks to you both.Water very clear.

[@HopeOfJoe]

Absolutely fabulous !! The underwater coral colors in shallow water are totally amazing. And the fish meal ..................... I wanna get invited to that meal. Noting like flaky white fish in butter and garlic. A few greens will keep you doing this longer, Troy. Just a quick health tip. Pascale is the queen of this show for sure and perfectly suited. Love it and you both !! 😊✨⛵️⚓️✨

[@SailingInfidels]

Really happy we've found your channel. You guys are really doing some great vids! Cheers!

[@jimstanga6390]

Ciguatera....larger fish have more. “If it’s longer than your arm, it’ll do you harm”....that was the rhyme I was taught. In the Bahamas, they toss a silver coin in the pan with the fish. If the coin turns black, they say the fish is poisonous.....

[@FreeRangeLiving]

I like the rhyme but I think the coin trick has been disproved.

[@bradyfilm]

Underwater footage was amazing! Another great Ep. Thank you.

[@geoffgelow4241]

Wow, your videos get better and better. Fantastic!

[@sailingonchallanger4024]

Most exelant. Being an old diver I love the under water footage. It brings back good memories. Thanks Dan

[@symphonyfarm2009]

You guys are STOKED! Sure beats head to weather sailing day after day!!

[@solarsail56]

25 meters! You must be part fish. Love your videos - nice balance of information and natural beauty.

[@Richdudevids]

So good what a show I love it , you all do the best videos . Thanks for sharing.

[@richardscudds4753]

As usual , another great vid , the water clarity was magic . and watching you eat that fish made me ever so hungry , great work guys

[@opsecchief8184]

You never disappoint. Great episode.

[@tullysika]

Great footage as usual, I find I'm playing parts of it over and over, just to make sure my eyes don't lie.

[@staxter6]

Stunning, absolutely beautiful. Lying in my scratcher at 03:06 salivating thanks to you. Enjoy the ride.

[@timreeve5829]

In many of your vids there are reef shark. Do you ever eat them as Flake/shark is a staple of fish & chips. Very tasty.

[@nickhopwood8112]

Yet another top class video. I love how Troy always gives a lesson about something, as well as the fantastic images. Troy - I've said before you are one of the luckiest men alive. A partner who is beautiful, fun, intelligent, great cook and sailor. What more can a man want? Does she have any unattached twin sisters ?? !!

[@mistercoffee8872]

Wow! Another great video. Pascale is a sight for sore eyes! You're one lucky guy, Troy. You're really made for each other. :)

[@4amwaj]

14:43 thats when you know you have been diving in Australian waters, when you swim back to the boat with the fish as high out the water as possible haha! hows goods Holmes for spearing aye! Think the vids are getting better guys.

[@jimnickles2347]

Glad I was eating Supper when I watched this, that fish Fried Up FINE....And Pascale Checking the conchs for Suitability, lol...I've often wondered when a shark swims By her if she doesn't visualize them with dotted Cut Lines on 'em,lol...

[@tedrenard472]

Another beautiful video, great music too! Watched on Friday evening in the UK, and the village chippie (fish & chip shop, not the joiner!!) is just too far to walk in the rain...damn.

[@jbburton5928]

Oh man that was great vid you lucky bar stewards what a back drop,ya fridge must be full luv the free dives also the coral looks in good nick too encore

[@brynnsta8054]

Guys we loved this! Hope you are both well :) Brynn and Jade from England

[@c00lhand2469]

Awesome dive videos. Thank you.

[@niccat7051]

Beautiful snorkelling there!! Spear fishing; no need for bait....apart from the click bait of course 😉 Nice one guys 😎👍

[@philbox4566]

I had Coral Trout last night actually. Mmmmmm, tasty. Wrapped it in alfoil and cooked in green ginger wine.

[@FBall-im8ui]

Always very enjoyable! Thank you, From the Great White North! Canada Where th snow has already started to fall.

[@MrRJBooth]

Just loved it all . Great footage and great narration ,ooo n Pascals butt footage . I could cope with a lil more o that . ,lol. Cheers guys ;-)

[@toms4123]

That was a great episode. Just came home from the recent purchase of a 30 footer currently on the hard - what a great way to get reminded of why I do all this work.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Great news! Congratulations

[@pauleohl]

Very nice underwater photography. Next time you need a snorkel, try the Head snorkel with the little extra piece of silicone that fits against the roof of your mouth. It is very comfortable and the mouthpiece lasts forever. The tube end that is at the waterline has a stupid notch in it. I ran some Tyvek tape over the notch and the same tape has been in place for 3 years.

[@cyclomaniac9086]

Spectacular ... you never disappoint.

[@ricknelson3607]

Great music. Thanks for the videos GB.

[@sandstoney]

A pleasure to watch and learn thanks

[@crushedcranium]

Haven't seen all of the video yet, but it's great! 😊 yup! It was all amazing! Such beautifully clear water, corals, sharks, fishes... food... you get the idea lol maybe in the future I will upload some "Oregon coast snorkeling" 🤣 "visibility 20'! Amazing!"

[@rodneygoubert6281]

Great video Guy's can't wait to try your snorkel trick out. never seen that before and I'm only 57 this month. Id love to get that deep. fair play to you both

[@amarieshearer7613]

Love the coral, it’s beautiful! You made me hungry the fish looked so good!

[@dougfairweather]

Another great episode... Thanks!

[@Mr.Stacey-L-SCC]

Very impressed with the images coming out of that camera, and as always the edit on this was fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

[@buletpoint]

Beautifully done thank you

[@gordonsmith352]

Awesome videos. So relaxing to watch. Pascale has beautiful skin. LOL

[@skyebluesailing5398]

Thanks for another great video guys. Wondering what the specs are on your diving fins?

[@petermcnaughton9031]

Another super super video , I have watched it twice so good and informative

[@andymoss3132]

Enjoyed as always. Keep living the dream guys. I'm sure it ain't perfect all the time but you two seem to make it seem to be. Cheers

[@MrPisces67]

Thanks for another informative video, great music accompaniment while diving on the reef, especially with headphones on. Is it true that white tip reef sharks will generally be too well fed to bother with humans? Once again, thank you both for sharing...I apologise for coming in so late but have only recently discovered this fantastic chanel :)

[@nidhas1881]

Awesome job on this episode guys, the editing and music choices were perfect, love your channel, fair winds and following seas to you always :o) x

[@mattpower8394]

I love your diving videos!

[@vingreensill]

Beautiful camera work!

[@dougcampbell3268]

just ordered my FRS T-shirt. Thanks for the very informative videos guys! They sure help me to learn a lot on my new (to me) Cat27.

[@MajTom-wd2yt]

Better & better👍⛵️

[@Stevie671]

How do you stay down so long?.Is there a trick to it?Thanks.Oh, and great and soothing entertainment.

[@OleNavy]

A bit late watching these last two videos. Laid up in hospital since 10/17. Cleaning branches from some of the trees in my yard and made a misstep on the last one. Fell off the ladder from five feet at foot level. Six broken ribs, two non-displacement fractures of the pelvis, bruised and lacerated right lung, and a broken thumb. Never a dull day, but should have stayed at sea, ehhh??? Wonderful videos once again and, I ordered a s sweat shirt. Have fun guys and I’ll keep my feet on the ground under doctors orders!!!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Be careful guys- we dont want to lose you!

[@OleNavy]

Free Range Sailing Back up and kicking like it never happened. Not even a cane anymore to steady myself with. Not too bad for a 73 yo geezer!!!

[@jginmt]

You might consider ordering an underwater color filter. Big lights that go off to the side really helps quality too.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

$$. In time when we have more funds

[@jginmt]

Thanks for not keeping my email public

[@rondejoux8006]

A feel good video.Thanks

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

FANTASTIC

[@donkinzer5718]

Phenomenal, again!

[@TodSackett]

Another winner !

[@SteveWrightNZ]

I never understood big-bore snorkels - like breathing into a plastic bag, blurgg... The hardest thing to find was a snorkelling buoyancy compensator - essential safety item around the rocks, and not one to be found anywhere! Two beautiful and amazing creatures at 17min 20, aren't they wonderful.. Highly recommend the frame-by-frame plugin.

[@CesarGonzalez-kt7vp]

Ready for some critiques? If Not Skip This :-) Really like your skill at giving instructions, and getting direct to the point without lengthy introduction on what you're going to talk about, the lack of background music is good too, but I do find and I don't know if it's only me but, when the music minus the voice comes on, it's usually twice louder as the voice portions, why this is I don't know but I end up turning down the volume every time and it is annoying, like I said this not only on your videos. Your underwater footage is good too, Sony seems to have a pretty good stabilizer, but I find stabilization software can be an added plus if needed. Also, adding a red filter for the deeper dives really helps add color, but you can also color correct within a good video editor, down side it is adds an extra step. Cheers Guys!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Not sure about the sound. We watch each video before it gets uploaded and we don't notice such a dramatic volume change. We haven't heard of this in the comments until now. It's baffling.

[@robertevans6481]

Great video,love the underwater shots..

[@robertserisier5413]

Hi guys... Love the videos...keep them coming.. A few weeks ago you showed how you received weather fax details via your radio... Could you give some further technical details as to the setup you used...? As an expat Aussie...having not lived in Aus for 20 Years (curently living in the Canary Islands) looking at your episode's make me think about sailing back home.. Who knows, one day I may... Keep up the great work and relaxed style of the productions... Cheers for now.. Roberto

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Have you seen our episode 'Ghosts of Australia's Past'? There's a fair bit in that one.

[@robertserisier5413]

@@FreeRangeLiving sorry for the late reply of thanks...been in the middle of the Sahara working...heading back to the canaries tomorrow and straight to the boat..love your work. Cheers

[@fissh29]

Damn Troy...your beard grows fast...LMAO...another awesome informative vid...love you guys...that trout looked delicious, what does it taste like? One day I'm gonna show up in my boat, really!!! Favorable winds!

[@RoyClare]

Awesome. Again. 🥂👍⛵️🎉

[@skwyrz1]

that fish looked like Halibut after cooked and ya even cooked it the way I like em YUM.

[@twblaw]

What kind of wind generator do you have. Sounds quiet compared to some. Thanks

[@alvin1984fiji]

Hi..which brand wind generator do you or would suggest..safe sailing

[@horstszibulski19]

25m just by holding your breath? Hell..i guess i would die by 5m... 8-o Big respect to you both! Thx for the vid ! :-D

[@forwardtumble]

Yep, going to sleep postponed for another 20odd minutes!

[@Viper_Poker]

I saw an Episode where you were having issues with braided line. Here's what you need to know about braided line and saltwater. If you do not rinse your real thoroughly with fresh water the salt water will crystallize inside the brade and it will just cut the shit out of it within the braided line itself. I learned this lesson the hard way and it wasn't until I put the line under a microscope so I could see what was happening. I had my suspicions but I needed a microscope to confirm my theory. I hope the this helps you in the future. Waven four fingers an a big ol thumb from Salem Oregon Salem Oregon BAT SHIT Crazy USA😊

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Yup, just going to stick with mono.

[@tentimes4]

Great job. I noticed right around 21 minutes you shot some corals that were migrating through a pre-death bleached phase when they were purple. Do you remember what temperature the water was at that point? It looked like you were no more than 2 meters depth.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

No but any bleaching would have been triggered by a fairly quick change before we got there. There is a lot of damage north of Cairns caused by a big warm pool of water moving in from the pacific. Holmes reef probably got some of it.

[@nicjacobson8477]

Heading your way Wednesday where will you guys be? Would love to catch up for a beer

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We in Airlie beach now

[@sideswipper]

fantastic episode thanks.

[@riaangibson]

Great episode again any reason why the top corals where so purple is this normal?

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Sunlight penetration is better in shallow water. The warm end of the light spectrum gets knocked out of light quickly by water. That's why the video looks so blue down deep.

[@dondevine5129]

nice video thanks

[@Dutch_off_grid_homesteading]

heya nice vlog again

Yes we love that little camera.

[@bandulasri]

Nice snapper mate ~ mate , is there opehi over there ?

Not by that name. Maybe by another?
