Sailing from Tahiti to Moorea | Episode 181

[@SailingwithScott]

I can't figure out why you only have 30.1K subscribers...as you're definitely one of the best KZbin Sailing Channels...PERIOD! End of Story.

[@WEsail]

I bang my head on the desk too! I don’t really understand it. We’ve checked all the boxes when it come to production, consistently posting, solid content, even Granby thumbnails but somehow it just doesn’t grow at the rate we thought it would. We’re up for any ideas! Oh and thank you thank you Scott. Thank you for acknowledging and thank you most of all for following our adventures. You are the reason why we keep making content and sharing this wild ride with you!

[@Trippinonsixwheels]

I have wondered this same thing! Definitely my favorite sailing couple on YT!!

[@Superbobstar]

People always ask this on the cool channels with relatively low views. The sailing space is super crowded these days. How much advertising do you do others platforms or other channels? Are you just relying on the you tube rec engine? What demographic that is watching these? I really don't know but the commenter above is absolutely right you guys put out super good content with a solid positive vibe.

[@HigherGroundMoving]

da best!

[@hookyhoward2594]

@@WEsail hope you take this as constructive yet positive criticism, but you're not ticking all the boxes. You do a great job on the surface but there isn't a huge amount of depth to your content. It's a very well put together travelogue, in the old fashion sense of what you'd see on TV in the 90's and 00's. But, there's no sense of a story, you don't really teach us anything, we don't get any insight into any place you're at. And your music is just a bit cheesy. take this episode, Moorea - one of the jewels of the Pacific, and what did you teach us? It could've just been any island, anywhere. There's a 1000 channels just like yours, have you done a deep dive into what makes you different? As others have mentioned, your production is good. Although, you tend to use the drone way too much, and your spoken word audio quality is very inconsistent - especially in this episode. Another thing to consider is what you are sailing. Cats (no matter your actual budget) give out a certain vibe about how the trip is being funded. People want to dream and have something relatable to aspire to, something with a sense of adventure and grounded in what they might actually achieve. You guys sometimes come across a bit aloof as we don't get anything but tiny glimpses into who you are as people. Keep it up. You're living a dream only a fraction of people will ever experience, keep that in mind.

[@jasonpacific5661]

All of us who love your channel need to tell other adventurous Earthlings about it's magnificence 🌺 You guys are living the dream in Moorea

[@WEsail]

Thanks Jason you rock!! Spread the good word!!

Thank you for taking me on this wonderful explore.

[@WEsail]

Happy to!!

[@jeremypfau]

Wow!!!!! Amazing views

[@thenomadtexan5640]

Hey guys! Another great video! FYI….the shark spot on southeastern side of Taha’a will absolutely blow your mind! It’s much better than Moorea!

[@OurCabinInThewoods]

Wow nice place thanks again for 5 star video

[@WEsail]

So nice of you!!

[@JeromeKrehbiel]

Another great video! Keep it up. So jealous.

[@WEsail]

Yea buddy! Thanks much!

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

This should be episode 181. Wonderful place. Thank you.

[@yahyadervis4706]

Thanks to you guys❤💙💙💜⚓⛵beautiful⛵☀🌊🏆🥇We love you❤

[@580Outdoors]

I don’t understand it either this is one of if not the best sailing channels out there. Should be well over 100k subs imo. This channel is the channel that got this okie interested and almost talked the wife into buying a cat when the kids are grown. Still some work to do there lol but your videos certainly help in the convincing! Keep up the great work!

[@WEsail]

Yea buddy!! Well thanks and keep at it, she’ll come around :)

[@sergey_sovetsky]

WEry good! Absolutely beautiful! Fair winds! )

[@BohemianBeatster]

Always groovy following you guys. So nice to have your dad with me.

Hey hey ya!!

Wow Sailor 👍

[@my09ultra]

Mo'orea - what a place! Good luck in LA Warren! 🤙 Looking forward to next update🤞

[@HopeOfJoe]

Perfectly wonderful episode, guys ‼️ 👍 Loved the music specifically during the rain storm. Nice to meet your dad. Such a beautiful place.✨🌊💨⛵️🏝️👙🌞✨

[@WEsail]

Well thanks, love your positive attitude!! Thanks for the comment and feedback!! Cheers Richard!!

[@paultabone2010]

When you think you have just left a beautiful place 🐬🦋🏝 And you just find another one 🏔🏝🐬🐬🍷🍷😎

[@WEsail]

I know right! These islands just grab you. We have been really captivated by Moorea and all its magic!

[@paultabone2010]

@@WEsail This place is just stunning 🦋🐬🦋 have a wonderful week ⛵️🍷🍷

[@malicus01]

Have a safe travel Warren!!!I would love to see some boat jobs :) ...Btw looking forward for your videos of this stunning area!!

[@annafraley5388]

Incredible scenery there…!! 😎👍✅

[@bradpeterson5299]

Moorea is my favourite island on the planet. We cruised around the island on a ship, then stayed at the Sofitel resort for a week. Incredible snorkelling there.

[@WEsail]

Agreed, paradise for sure!

[@graemewilson5772]

Hey cool place, Nice water, gotta try harder on the NS but I love your work as always

[@TRCAdventures]

That opening scene WOW! looks like a magical place

[@rayb3117]

Moorea is for sure a beautiful place. The sharks an ds ray swim was spectacular

[@nanb.8953]

Sailing so close to the Rays makes me nervous because I always think of Steve Irwin's death by a sting ray in the heart. Please be careful.

[@WEsail]

Agreed, we think of that often!! Will stay safe, promise

[@fourpressmedia2674]

First! We get excited for a new video from you!

[@WEsail]

Awesome! So glad you guys tuned in to see this weeks episode!

[@brucesafreed3877]

Awesome video! Beautiful Place! I’m curious what did you two do for jobs before starting sailing adventures? ⛵️👍🏝

[@charliebrown8278]

We’re planning on visiting Bora Bora in 2024 but I think we might go for Moorea instead. It looks a little less commercial… although everything is getting busy these days. Blown away with the shark/ray swim and I too, am surprised that no one seems concerned about the stinger on the stingrays. I know some places trim them so they’re not an issue but those ones looked full size and ready to rumble! Great video… yet again.

[@WEsail]

Hey thanks very much, and I would absolutely agree- moorea has WAY more to offer… people who know Bora Bora call it Bora Boring LOL

[@karinamartinez4673]

Omg I want to be able to live like you 😮❤

[@robertlaird6746]

Second. I like the South Pacific Islands.

[@WEsail]

US TOO!!!!!

[@richardbecker5614]

Looks like you found a bunch of amorous Rays on the trip.

[@geoffstrebel2808]

@1:29 Learn Thunderstruck by AC/DC! It's wicked on the yuk!

[@WEsail]

Goals :)

[@chrisrabbidge]

hi guys...been following some of your videos for info for our own travels. imagine our surprise to see our boat in the background (at 'Ōpūnohu Bay, around 7'55"). shame we did not meet up ! we have very similar situation with long stay visa...got to tahiti...decided we never want to leave so now getting the LSV. intrigued if you are able to get such in a week...ours is going to take longer. anyway, hope to catch up in february - where will you be ? cheers chris & debbie / sv jabulo

[@WEsail]

Hey there! So Warren was able to get his LSV. This was back in August when he flew back to the states and about a month later is when he got the visa in hand. It was a lot of hard work but it finally worked out. Hope you get yours because this place is a dream. We are planning to sail up to the tuamotos in February. Sea you around!

[@chrisrabbidge]

thanks...glad to hear you got the visa. our application went in 2 weeks ago and thinking to get it next week (🤞). shall look for you on AIS !😎🥳🏝

[@briankatz7885]

Great video. You are fun, authentic and your cinematography and story telling are captivating. I found your channel through watching other sailing channels, and I suspect you will continue to find subscribers that way. BTW….Warren, sorry for not knowing the back story, but why do you only need to go back to the U.S. for a long stay visa and not Erica? I assume she has some immigration status you don’t have, so was just curious. Thank you for continuing to share your stories and adventures!

[@WEsail]

Wow Brian thanks man, really!! So ya no worries, Erica is half French from her father’s side, so she can stay indefinitely (lucky brat lol!!) thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!!

[@stevesteel6066]

How do you afford this awesome lifestyle? Could you do a video about this? Awesome couple, May fair winds always be in your sails. Much love to you both ❤

[@southernfriedkiwi7726]

They did a video on this a while back. He sold his construction business and they had a house that they did up and rented and then eventually sold it.

[@freddywulf2024]

Hey! We Sail, Capt James @ Sailing Triteia is in Moorea....of course, that depends if your Timelines are synced

[@G00neyBird]

👍How long can you dock around Moreau ?

[@ejsol4004]

Love your video guys ❤ , have question 🙋‍♀️ regarding restrictions over there for sailors?

[@WEsail]

Thank you so much! Oh what regard for restrictions? As far as anchoring?

[@rosiegreddogyachts4135]

We have been after the same LT Visa and have been told that it must all be done on-line. This is from the consulate in San Francisco. It would be great to do it in person.

[@WEsail]

We were able to do most of it online for the application but Warren still had to go to the French Consulate in Person for an interview too.

[@barrycashman7001]

Sorry Warren when a stranger is onboard, just wondering is he a Patreon or family member ? Leaves to wonder who he is?

[@thomasthornton5737]

😃👍👍👍❤

[@DonaldIversonII]

What are you wearing at 11:30? When you dive with the sharks and rays? I want that for my wife.

[@WEsail]

Oh it's a zip up rash guard from Billabong. I love them, 1mm keeps me slightly warm but also good protection from the sun.

[@Ninja_Sloth]

Sooooo jelly you guys!!! I am more excited for you than Erica gets for passage cocktails 😜. Can't wait to see more shots of the French Poly islands. I hope you guys have a safe time over in Bora Bora. A few other sailing channels have mentioned that Bora Bora is not very accomodating to sailors. One channel (The Sailing Family) had their boat tear lose from a French Poly gov approved mooring. Their Outremer 51 Cat got smashed up and the Gov blamed them. They were told that the moorings are your only option and dropping anchor is not allowed. Inspect your moorings! Check out their video of the damage kzbin.info/www/bejne/in_WlWesZbSlbbs

[@WEsail]

Ya I totally remember that happening!! Scary stuff!! Okay well stay posted, we’ll get to those videos at some point LOL! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!!

[@CM-wd7bo]

At 3:25 in the video you say it’s an asymmetrical spinnaker. But isn’t it a symmetrical spinnaker? Sorry, I’m not trying to contradict, just trying to learn.

[@WEsail]

Ya all good- it is actually an asymmetrical but they are so dang close in appearance to the symmetrical…

[@messaoudhajji7471]

Hi guys, thanks for letting us see these heavenly places. Doesn’t Erica need a visa, or maybe she’s French? I noticed she speaks French without accent, and she looks like a very beautiful French girl please let me know. How I would like to keep her compangy during your trip to L.A. Keep us dreaming, I love you all. Here is some vibs to keep you in the mood : kzbin.info/www/bejne/npfZe4KCZsyjn8U

[@WEsail]

Haha thanks!! And ya she’s French on her dads side, so no visa necessary! You’re very sweet, thanks for the great message!!
