⛵ SAILING IN THE FURIOUS FIFTIES PART II, SOUTH SANDWICH ISLANDS - JAN 2020 - S01E04

[@TheSwampdoggydog]

I watch far too many sailing channels which either are in the Med or crossing over to the Caribbean or from the states to the Caribbean and to be honest it’s getting boring watching the same old places just different faces, so what a fantastic breath of fresh air YOUR CHANNEL IS. This is proper sailing with proper sailors.

[@dustman96]

That penguin riding that huge wave onto the rock was one of the coolest things I've ever seen any animal do. It was so graceful considering the circumstance. So good at reading the water.

[@rerolley]

My wife and I were thrilled to be able to visit South Georgia last February including St. Andrews Bay and Prion Island. When we past Shag Rocks we were treated to a sighting of 2 Blue Whales. I we were glad to be aboard a 100 meter ship. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@seasandsummits]

Hello! It was a great surprise to read that someone has ventured this way and so recently too! We were in SG in Feb so perhaps we were there around the same time! We heard that there had been a sighting of blue whales and couldn’t believe it! Ted Cheeseman onboard was really hoping we would see them! But they evaded us! Thank you for sharing your SG adventure :)) Sophie 🌊🙂

I really enjoyed this video. The albatross dance was spectacular. It's marvellous that you are able to follow you passion. Thanks so much for sharing Mike

[@seasandsummits]

Hi Mike, Thank you for your comment and I loved reading that you enjoyed the albatross footage! We have so much but we tried to keep it fairly short! However we will be editing short films on individual specific animals ie gentoo penguins/ king penguins/ wandering albatross etc for the Animal Lovers on here! They will come out over the next couple of months:)) Many thanks again, Sophie:)

[@ck7973]

Sophie, Cris, thank you for the glimpse at the clearance and beauty of the south. You are contributing another sight on the variety of seas. Reading your comment below I was thinking “No! Don’t keep it short!! I want to see more!” Although I know how much time editing films takes, please let us take part more in the daily life on board. Your sailing skills must be tremendous, letting us take part would not be considered bragging. Is this a Bestevaer you’re sailing? How could you afford such a boat at your age? How does the interior look (loved your excursion to the “fridge”). How much time do you spend on maintenance? How much condensation water does the temperature gap produce? So many questions...

[@seasandsummits]

Hello CK! Thank you for your very kind comment! We don’t own Pelagic Australis - that would be a dream if we did! We are employed as Skipper & Mate onboard. Skip Novak is the owner and our boss :)) She is a Tony Castro design and built in 2003 in Durban. Glad to hear you liked seeing the fridge! Initially we were not intending on making films and I only videoed to send footage back to my parents. But after my Dad edited the South Georgia film and we got such positive feedback we decided to produce some more from my slightly dodgy filming. With that in mind- most of my footage was of penguins and icebergs. Since the interest in the films we decided to document more on the sailing side of it too and hope that we can feature that more in future films:)) I hope that all makes sense! Any other feedback you can suggest we would gratefully appreciate it:) Many thanks again, Sophie 🙂🌊

[@stuartbrown5783]

That was just terrific. Marvellous. Thank you.

Hello Elizabeth, Thank you for watching all the way from the UK! :))

[@Amanaki]

Fantástico !!! Me encantaría ver a los pingüinos tan cerca ! 😄 🐧 Excelente video !!!

[@Davidcallard]

You two are doing precisely the sort of cruising that I would love to do if my age and health permitted. Sadly that is not the case but I can certainly enjoy your experiences vicariously through yt. I really enjoyed the albatross ballet and would love to see any more if you have it! I remember David Attenborough also filmed the beautiful ritual some years ago but I can't remember where now except that it was on one of the Southern Ocean islands. I'm getting bored with the vacuous and seemingly endless supply of accounts of bumming around in the Caribbean without any sign of a purpose other than self-indulgence! But you two are actually facilitating important scientific research and that's both worthwhile and fascinating at the same time. Well done and keep on doing your good work!

[@seasandsummits]

Hi David, I hope this reply reaches you (I’m not sure how to tag people in replies?). Thank you for your kind comment. Yes we do have a lot more of the albatross footage- we just didn’t want to overload it on this film. However! We are putting together short films on the specific animals we observed for the wildlife lovers :)) and the great thing about the albatross dancing was the incredible noise they made too! We have recordings of that :)) We hope to have those films out in the next couple of months. The film that is being edited at the moment is our voyage to Gough Island, where we took a team of scientists and conservationists as they embark on a year long programme to eradicated the house mice that have been decimating the albatross population (eating them alive). It was a really important journey- and incredibly we were granted permission to land there and see the albatross nesting! I can’t wait to share this video:)) let us know any feedback you may have once it’s out (in the next 2 weeks). Thank you again, Sophie 🙂 🌊

[@Davidcallard]

@@seasandsummitsYes, I received your most interesting message - thank you. You're doing exactly what I would love to do if I wasn't confined to a wheelchair! I'm not so interested in the stereotypical image of the yachtie just bumming around the Caribbean totally self-absorbed in pleasure seeking activities. If I had a live-aboard boat (if only!) I would definitely want to offer it for the kind of work that you're doing! How rewarding to do conservation and research work and esp. with those kind of people! I look forward to the next video about the albatross and getting rid of the mice!

[@threedot141]

I really love your videos! They have just the right balance of showing shipboard life, sailing technical skills and wildlife. The explanations and information about the places you are visiting are really interesting. I really like the relaxed pace at which you talk, and the spark between you two is lovely. You might be new to KZbin, but your videos are just spot-on.

[@seasandsummits]

Hi John, Thank you so very much for your feedback. It is of great value to us. I’m glad to hear you think it has the right balance as we were a little worried about putting too much wildlife in. We haven’t filmed very much of ourselves talking into the camera as we focussed on landscapes and wildlife as well as sailing. But hopefully there was the right level of that too. What are your thoughts on the music? If you have any feedback on future films as they come out we would appreciate it again:) Many thanks again, Sophie :) 🌊

[@threedot141]

@@seasandsummits Thanks for your reply! The music is lovely and suits the atmosphere - sometimes adventure - sometimes peaceful. With regards to the balance of wildlife/sailing etc, I have seen some KZbinrs put up a poll asking their viewers which categories they prefer. Anyway, just a thought..

We are employed by Skip as Skipper & Mate. Pelagic is not our boat but we have been working for Skip for about 20 months. Prior to this we were both working as Skippers for Clipper & other freelance gigs. I hope that answers some of your questions!

[@fraserconnell21]

Put me to tears seeing the albatross pair's ritual,knowing how precarious their situation is,generally as a species. I'd like to think that humanity will be part of the solution instead of been the cause of albatross becoming extinct. Fantastic film as always and thank you so much guys.🙏🙏👍

[@seasandsummits]

Hi Fraser - great comment, in that we love to read others are so moved by the Albatross. To respond to your comment about humanity helping the Albatross… do watch our 2 Gough Island films - where we sail a team of scientists to the remote island as they set out on a well orchestrated quest to save the albatross & other indigenous seabirds… their work is remarkable- I think you will greatly appreciate it:)) And we got some beautiful footage of the Albatross in Part 2:) Thanks again for your comment. It makes our day to hear of so many people enjoying the incredible wildlife :)) Sophie 🌊 🙂

[@avidviewer1]

What a terrific way to continue from Part One! The sailing, scenery and wildlife footages were just incredible. I thought the calmness and tranquillity of Larsen Harbour was an amazing contrast to the breathtaking ocean passages, and yet Pelagic Australis seemed totally at home there. For me, the episode was all the more interesting because of the glimpses it offered of everyday life on board, above and below decks. Watching this (in the UK) has been utterly memorable. I really loved it and know I'll come back to it time and time again. A really professional job. Thanks so much!

[@seasandsummits]

Hello again! And thank you for your comment. We do very much value such feedback. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the below decks scene etc. We will endeavour to include more of it:) We are departing for Marion Island deep in the southern ocean in 2 days time- I hope we can capture much more footage :) Thank you again, Sophie 🌊🙂

Making these areas of fierce winds and difficult nature your "home", showing all of it's beauty, that could not be seen in it’s intimacy elsewhere, is so outstanding! Your footage has greatly improved!! Congratulations!! Well Sophie it is good to wear a hat in the forward section, knowing that approx. 80% of the body heat, leaves via the head, which led to the old hunter’s rule: If you got cold feet, "put a hat on."

Again stunning, i was interested to see how far the glacier had melted i thought you might have shown that, going from glacier to where it used to be on the old shoreline. Didn't look like there was much of it left. Do you ever take crew?? in a past life i crewed on anaconda 2 a hundred footer that was an old sydney to hobart race boat all around the Whitsundays taking english backpackers out to the reef for 3day trips did that for a few years. You guy's are fast becoming my number 1 sailing channel real sailing around the wild southern ocean and it's magnificent animals and islands, fair winds and following seas

Hello! It's great to have a message from a fellow sailor and it sounds like you have spent quite a bit of time on the water! We do sometimes take on a 3rd crew member- however, the coming season down in Antarctica is all on hold due to covid. Chris and I also work for other companies that take on crew too! Yes it was very hard to see that the glacier had restreated so much. We had the head of the Climate Change department at Maine University onboard, Paul Mayewski (he has a few books written about it). He was running the glaciology project onboard. Thank you for your comment and feedback:)) It is greatly appreciated! I hope you keep on sailing:) You have sailed in parts of the world I would love to experience! Sophie
