Hey there! We're Nick and Terysa and we’ve become completely obsessed with the idea of sailing around the world and sharing our experiences and information through our sailing lifestyle videos with others.
We met travelling around India, and quickly agreed that rather than “settling down” and doing what most normal people do, we wanted to travel and have adventures! We moved onto our 38 foot monohull in 2014, sailed across the Atlantic twice, cruised the Caribbean, Bahamas and Europe, before buying a brand new 45 ft catamaran!
We hope you enjoy what we do. Please subscribe, like and share.

Much respect! Your thumbnail clickbait game is strong. And you did it without any T&A. There should be an annual award.

[@sundownerbuild6708]

New ship rule. Sausages on bread can only be consumed when at least one crew member is wearing the appropriate Bunnings hat. 😂

[@warrenpowell6570]

Great episode. Looks like it was a low stress passage through the straight. I had fun watching! Thanks for taking me along again! 😊

[@williambremner9022]

Strait. It’s the Singapore Strait.

[@warrenpowell6570]

Darn autocorrect 😅

[@defel1]

Good to see you two sailing without something critical breaking. A benefit of smooth sailing....

[@user-pn6pk6qu6o]

It was great to see a positive you and a positive vlog, brilliant and well done.

[@mikethomas2138]

So calm around those huge vessels !

[@krionic]

good choice doing that during the day. I absolutely hate shipping lanes/channels at night. I'm curious why you don't lower your lazy jack lines when raising the sail. that would probably allow you to raise the main using auto pilot. loose the main sheet and let the boom naturally point in to the wind to compensate for any auto pilot deviation. Its what I'd do if I were raising the mainsail on your boat. It will keep your battens out of the lazy jack lines and put less stress on your winches and other gear.

Are you guys going to check out (or already checked out) Ikaria? I have a Greek friend that says it’s a place you can’t miss. It’s a Greek island off the coast of Turkey…. Supposedly in a blue zone.

[@taraodonnell8929]

I love your channel and am so happy that I started following your journey after watching you 2 with the Wynns. You guys are amazing and your videos are great too. I could listen to your accents all day long. Love and light from the East Coast of Canada.♥

[@MrJohnBos]

Without Starlink, think of all the extra video content you will have to thrill us all when you get to the Med and get Starlink installed on RR2.

[@J30Vampire]

you dont need starlink in the med... they have 5g... and unlimited data for about 30 euro per month... its cheep compared to starlink... and its great

[@deborahcrowell7043]

Now that was cool!

[@shannonmize2307]

What a great episode. I love seeing you get settled into your beautiful home.

[@Its_a_boat_thing]

Fab episode, we have followed you guys from the start (RR1), and actually just launched our own channel (for motorcruisers), taking a lot of inspiration from what you do. I have a new found respect for the huge amount of work you put in to the editing and publishing. Brilliant stuff

[@colinboniface194]

I've been waiting for this episode... What an experience... Damn those takers looked close... well done...

[@bubbagail7450]

All your vids are great to watch and it's always fun to see what you two are up to but this one was really interesting seeing how you maneuvered the Singapore Straight. Well done guys.

[@idiotinakayakrayarratoon9930]

so cool to see you guys again, happy days, and much love

[@nigelparkin]

So nice to see that your plans worked out and you arrived in the med.

[@georgemason4083]

Nice relaxing video, thanks. Looking forward to your Med adventures. Best GM.

[@pbear6251]

Great video . I thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks!!

[@windmedic]

Still loving every episode!

[@ThePricipleOfParsimony]

So interesting, all of this!

[@davidprado9630]

Nick looks like a kid on Christmas morning. 😮😂

[@user-mv3vu7bu6p]

Love your adventures tyvm

[@keithmny]

I log you as being in Marathokampos Rhodes Close to the ABC Supermarket, but that was 2days 13 hrs ago. Have fun. 🙂

[@laurapitre5797]

It's a little more exciting when you actually cross the shipping lanes from Indonesia!

[@richardcamp8301]

Singapore is very ordered so finding the straight run in the same way isnt a surprise.. I know Nahoa found it tougher in poor weather so glad it stayed fair for you. Sorry the boat got dinged in transit to Turkey.

[@i_am_am_i]

Not sure if timing was the same - hard to tell - and the distances are a far but you, the Wynns, SV Vaga, and Nandji were all in SE Asia at similar times it seems. :) What a meetup that would be eh?

[@bubashalom8274]

Exciting show.

[@SuperPirate100]

Nice vid , always enjoyed the straits , busy but enjoyable . The big bulker you wondered why it was so slow , it may have been making a bunker stop so approaching a pilot station or anchorage

[@chardon73]

Or they can't get on the jetty just yet so they slow down to prevent having to anchor.

[@Racerman27410]

Comment for the algorithm. Nice to see your smiling face Terysa. Was wondering where yesterdays video was. I think in your position Starlink would be a sound investment. Cheers!

[@waltervanderboor]

I was used to the busiest shipping area in the Netherlands and Singapore isn’t that much different. The ships are just a bit larger. Luckily they all have ais. In your route up north you’ll find tons of fishing nets. Just go in the middle of the two flags, and you’ll be fine. Have a good trip. Yes you’re allowed to take over or be overtaken. Most sg Rules are not much different from colregs. Just give enough space for those larger ships, which often travel at 14+ kn

[@jamielee9350]

The English Channel is the busiest ocean shipping lane in the world, used by more than 500 vessels a day. The Dover Straits are just part of it. Malacca might not be as busy as the English Channel , but it is a far more dangerous place to be sailing. Some of the pilots have had very little training.

[@hanssolo4ever]

Once you get to Europe it would be nice to see a video of what you missed out on and wish to do over.

[@saildreamer]

That container ship is a bulk carrier!

[@ejs6010]

Safe travels.

[@thebemusedone1901]

I was born there, hope you had fun.

[@stevemarks9360]

You should try the Channel, far mire difficult, and more large traffic.

[@Spoon279]

Imagine having to go through that in a dense fog.

[@hectorcyre7664]

Exciting episode. Hope you are enjoying Turkey (sorry about the outdated spelling). Just a thought on rigging your topping lift. The square toppedded, extefully battenend,

[@KLEINMUSCHIPAUL]

3x honking is a greeting

[@peterherd5982]

Sorry, 3 blasts means "My engines are turning astern"

[@davidlevitz3119]

great

[@PaulBKal]

Both engines in overdrive?

[@frankstocker5475]

Now it gets expensive.

[@billhendricks3143]

🎉

[@janaferreira8882]

❤

[@stevejones9788]

All of that information the police wanted is on AIS assuming you updated your destination when you set off !

[@sunshinecatcher8779]

Party time in falariki

[@danielmclellan7762]

Straits of Mallaca

[@sailingrubyrose]

Exactly

[@paulfitzgerald1466]

Shouldn’t need a topping lift if you have a rigid vang…

[@craigseeley2135]

The bulk carrier you were overtaking was slowing to take bunkers at anchor the give away was the bunker davit being boom up just fwd of the accommodation Starboard side. The anchorage to the West of the TSS is the usual location for this.

[@robbnutter4665]

Is that the busiest shipping lane? It is today.

[@TheAtma50]

Am I first? ☘

[@garyr1522]

think you might be

[@sailingrubyrose]

🤣

[@antonygill5104]

😂😂

[@PondoSinatra680]

What did he win?

[@thomascallaghan5988]

Great video and good to hear you made it to the ship for the boat transfer…..I can sleep at night now,I’m always four hours early to everything much to the annoyance of my wife

[@garyr1522]

Am I second?

[@sailingrubyrose]

You are

[@Roskellan]

The English Channel - the busiest shipping lane in the World.

[@Kevin-zz9nc]

Sorry mate. It's the Irish Sea LOL....

[@Roskellan]

@@Kevin-zz9nc The Irish sea - a bit too shallow a bit too bumpy for my liking - maybe I picked the wrong day (night) 🙂

[@IceglacierArnar]

I am confused? Who were in Singapore strait, and then you are in Turkey?

[@markeaston7353]

I always get a chuckle out of how even not so fit looking English guys don't mind flashing the flesh. It's very brave so good on them!

[@hanssolo4ever]

It would have been nice if you could have spent more time in Asia and travel with your boat before you decided to ship it.

[@sammypitts7851]

Bloody nerve racking

[@sailingrubyrose]

It was a little

[@J30Vampire]

ok... this was not too close... you seen them... they seen you... please no dramatic thumbnails.... see you in Greece on our boat... less drama.. more fun

[@ysesq]

lol. shut off ais to avoid vts bs

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

I could do with a day off. Really? You said that. 🤦‍♂️

[@sailingrubyrose]

The audacity of me to say out loud that I could do with a rest day!

[@ysesq]

lol. shut off ais to avoid vts bs

[@sailingrubyrose]

Yeah but we really want the cargo ships to see us! 😝
