[@paulwilfridhunt]

Four thousand miles sailing on the Thula they are ready to hula, land ho, land ho, what a way to go. Two shipmates with dolphins saying we know you’re alright when you’re out of sight in Germany, remembering all those magnificent sights. Those amazing creatures are wonderful teachers. They teach us that God exists though many insist saying nay nay no way. But in a way its not God who finds us it’s we who find Him, sometimes at sea if we have wise eyes to see . 💒

[@ThulaSailing]

Wonderfully said. Thank you!

You are undiscovered pearl channel.Amazing .Those dolphins are showing off like tenagers.

[@christanzer]

Good job , toll, gemacht !! Cool Vidio! Thanks for sharing !!

[@gardnep]

Great vlog. Helicopters at sea are from tuna boats and have short lifespan because captains are only interested in tuna worth ‘0000’s each and will leave helicopter stranded to catch them. Helicopter pilots buzzing touring sail boats are only interested in sunbathers.

[@larrylegg8245]

Good Job Thula, good job.

[@DonaldFBooth]

Wonderful video, Thank you very much.

[@robertscranton8293]

I love your real sailing videos. You all are such a nice couple and work together so well. Wonderful..in a word. Thank you.

[@ThulaSailing]

Awwwe, thanks! 🙂

[@paratyshow]

Hi Guys, nice video of a long trip! The helicopter is from Panama and is a civilian registry model Robinson R44 Clipper I. The range of these is only a couple hundred miles at most so must be from a ship. I agree with the guy who commented on leaving your winch handles in, watched a lewmar fall out, skip across the deck and into the atlantic once. Expensive lesson to learn. Fair winds!

[@rogeranderson8763]

And, if the pawls break, the handle will break 'whatever' it spins around into. They're only held in place by little springs.

[@philipchandler330]

Glad you made it safe and sound

[@huepenbecker7369]

Danke dafuer ! Fair Winds !

Was für ein tolles episches Video. Herzlichen Dank für die Impressionen dieser langen Passage. Habe Euren Kanal umgehend abonniert und reise gerne weiter mit Euch.

[@h.s.5425]

TOP Video, das Anschauen hat super viel Spaß gemacht. Erstaunlich für mich die vergleichsweise geringe Zahl an Aufrufen im Gegensatz zu ähnlichen Unternehmungen, die aber noch längst nicht so weit gekommen sind wie ihr beiden. Kompliment und viele Grüße aus Kiel, dem Start Eures tollen Trips.

[@ThulaSailing]

Vielen Dank für das Lob und Südseegrüße in die Heimat :)

[@ThulaSailing]

Wir machen nicht viel Werbung für unseren Kanal😉 Aber wer uns findet, den haben wir gern auf Reisen dabei. Uns geht es auch eher darum schöne Erinnerungsvideos zu machen und diejenigen an unserer Reise teilhaben zu lassen, den die Videos gefallen. Schön, dass du so viel Freude am Mitreisen hast!⚓️

Good Sailing 👍 and cool vid ..don't leave the winch handles ..on the winch ..you don't want to lose them ..there are important ...great repair job on the gen set..and a good milage everyday...👍..Best regards from SV Mary Lee⛵

My favorite part...When you catch a fish big enough to make you revert to your native tongue. Lol Loved it. Great videos guys!

[@karencurley4293]

Enjoyed your vlog very much! Love the dolphins!❤️ Came over here through your friends, Sailing Bacchus Home. Looking forward to your future travels!

[@Valden23]

Thank you for making this sailing video. Well done on your crossing. And well done on the generator repair - excellent work! :-)

[@ThulaSailing]

Thanks! Unluckily it flew apart just after our arrival at the Marquesas. But we found a good solar solution.

[@rasheedmasthan6779]

Fantastic 👍

22:40; the flag you found in the ocean we call in the Antilles a “palanka”. They use it for long line fishing.

[@ThulaSailing]

Ah, alright! We didn't know.

congrats on a safe crossing

On the Mahi... the rounded head is a female, the blunt head is the male. Great videos, thank you!

[@lunes-1]

Great video,keep it up!

[@RaeuberHotzy]

Danke für eure tollen Videos ⛵️👍🏽 ich finde bei euch kommt das Gefühl fürs Segeln in den Videos super rüber. Allerdings glaube ich, es wäre noch etwas besser, wenn ihr die Videos auf Deutsch machen würdet. Euer Englisch ist super aber in der Muttersprache ist’s noch mal was anderes. Ich freue mich auf viele weite Videos 🎉⛵️🎉

[@XenKoa]

Klasse Video ! Warum esst Ihr die fliegenden Fische nicht ? Schmecken lecker und kann man wie Heringe zubereiten. Tolle Aufnahmen, Danke !

[@leojoseph6385]

Great job of sailing 4000 miles despite taking 40 days....at least you have a flexible schedule and stayed safe! That was an inspiring generator repair and sail recovery repair! What would you add in packing your provisions for future Pacific crossings? How much water did you bring and how much was left? Thanks!

[@rogeranderson8763]

I was on a different boat back in 1981-82, (A Herreshoff Marco Polo 'Valkyrie) and we had 200 gallons of fresh water. There are plenty of rain squalls in the trades....so we arrived in the Marquesas with full tanks. That was the year of the first recorded El Nino....and there were 7 hurricanes....there had not been one in the area for 40 years. Friends of ours were lost on the trip down to Papeete, we had left the Marquesas a week earlier than they did, so had a nice sail down. Took two direct hits from cat 2 storms while we were there, one of which we were one of only two survivors in the anchorage....everyone else broke their 3/8" chain and went on the beach. Being a larger boat, we used 1/2" and did ok. Blew all the paint off the fronts of the masts though. Sure would like to know where Valkyrie is these days.

[@ThulaSailing]

We had 400l and used little bit more then half of it.... for the next time a bit comfort would be nice like a freezer or more storage!

[@thedysarts2772]

great video at crossing the pacific ocean

[@SuperChriscunningham]

Many years ago we visited Perlas islands and I had the worst sunburn ever

[@josephlai9759]

Found your lovely channel and subscribed. Thank you for sharing your life at sea. A little request - show us what lures you use. You are very good at catching fish. We hope to sail like you one day soon. Cheers.

[@ThulaSailing]

We actually use octopus lures, nothing special :) The ones with glitter worked best! Keep up the dream, make it true. It's truly worth it.

[@andershallberg6668]

Great achievement and great video footage.

[@ThulaSailing]

Thank you!

[@sannebast]

He guys, thank you for your incredible footage. Would be even nicer if you would leave the fish in the water :). Fair winds and all the best wishes!

[@ThulaSailing]

Thanks! As you have no fresh veggies left after 1.5 weeks and the body needs quite some energy doing night shifts all the time, one fish or two won‘t hurt as we only take what we need. Also for us it’s not easy killing a fish but it‘s also really challenging if you have no supermarket around the corner. I guess the big illegal fishing fleets are a slightly bigger problem 😉

[@petten20233]

Love to watch.6 month a go I but un Albin Vega 27 and hop one day , do some serious sailing.. but the motor brok down .the mast compression problem. And so one and so one . What to do? I love your enthusiasm is motivated me to keep going . And one day, I will live my dram. Fair wind. Bye bye Mario from Nord Holland.

[@mustarpendekar5859]

GOOD LUCK Be safe

[@urfuturo6467]

Well done! Which baits did you use? Tips? Seem to have been very successful at fishing😂

[@ThulaSailing]

Thanks! Mostly octopus (rubber), so specific color. We let it trawl quite a while away.

[@stevehislop]

Das ist ein Video wie ich es mir wünsche: Einfach nur segeln und ohne jedwede moralische Belehrung. Kleiner Tipp von Eric Hiscock: Eier halten ohne ausreichende Kühlung mehrere Monate(!) , wenn man sie mit Vaseline luftdicht einschmiert. Nur für den Fall das Ihr noch mal so einen langen Trip unternehmt:) Dazu das Thema Generator: Es ist kein Fehler den Motor hin und wieder zum laden der Batterien zu nehmen, denn die salzhaltige Luft findet ihren Weg ja auch in den Antriebsmotor. Alles in allem ein fantastisches Video. Gibt es einen besseren Test für eine Beziehung? Ihr seid spitze!

[@ThulaSailing]

Das stimmt! Leider mussten wir den Generator teilweise zu oft laufen lassen, da keine Sonne und nur wenig Wind war!

[@Ajeman845]

Congratz. fkn awesome trip. i m happy for u

[@manuelgarrido3087]

Ok guys. I've benn watching your trip from the very beginning and I've arrived this far. I have a question for you: Are you really doing this on a 33 foot wooden boat???

[@ThulaSailing]

Yes, why not? 😉 No the boat only has a wooden superstructure, the bottom is GRP.

Hey ihr zwei, sehr schönes Video. Hatte zuvor das aktuelle Video der Segeljungs gesehen. Zufälle gibts. 😃 Ist euer Schiff eine Vindö 40 und so um die 9 Meter? Liebe Grüße aus Osnabrück. Jörg

[@jarosawkwiatkowski4353]

9 Meter sind 30 Fuß

[@jorgrusenberg7539]

@@jarosawkwiatkowski4353 das ist bei Vindö anders. Die benennen die Schiffe nach der qm der Segelfläche. Die Schiffe können trotzdem unterschiedlich groß sein.

Do you know Holly who is sailing her 27 foot sloop named Gecko?

[@ThulaSailing]

Yes we do, we spent some time together in the Polynesian isles (see teaser)

[@tyroneforsyth1680]

Great video. I'm curious to what the boat is.

[@eelectrocamel1741]

Looks like a Vindo 45.

[@donyashakiba8373]

That's right

That fish was a huge thing. How many meals will it make?

3 days and some more salted and dried!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@customflht]

Nice video - if you did it again how would you do it differently ?

[@prank-o-mat]

a faster boat!

[@ThulaSailing]

Yes faster and bigger, but for that we have first to work a bit!

[@TroyaE117]

When there was no wind at night, I just let her drift with no sails.

[@UserConn]

2000 dollars to just stop at the Island in the Galapagos ??? Is that an average price for stops???

[@ThulaSailing]

This is how the cookie crumbles nowadays in Equador. You pay over 800$ for National Parc fee, the agents are quite pricey (you need to take one), we would have needed extra technical equipment, your hull must be clean&your boat fumed (if you call it that way) with certificate. All this adds up to quite a bit. Some fees are quite understandable to keep the special environment intact, with some fees you ask yourself if they are really fair rates as you can hardly move your boat around the islands anyways. But for sure it will always stay a unique place, maybe better to be travelled to by airplane though?
