Sailing Steep Swells and Hand Caught Lobsters - Free Range Sailing Ep 182

[@davidharlem6824]

To all the other sailing channels out there, this is how you do it!!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thank you David!

[@justforfux]

51 seconds into the video.........you two are a very well matched couple.......I envy you both - a long time viewer.

[@mickmccrohon]

We are anti sadists, we know you are enjoying your 'suffering' more than we are enjoying our daily lives. Your channel is the most authentic sailing channel on UTube. And the underwater/food/swell/pure sailing footage kills it!

[@rogerstone3068]

"They're delicious too, which is unfortunate for them..." - yes, that's what I'm here for. Go, Troy and Pascale.

[@benhorner8402]

My absolute favorite sailing channel!

[@BrassLock]

At my advanced age, I don't envy your shenanigans on, and under water. But I do have a very satisfying feeling that you young-uns are living great lives into the New Milennium. For those that seek it, the _Good Days_ aren't just in the _Old Days._

[@johnwebsterwallace4884]

The steam coming of that soup...Psychological heaven!

[@hanknaclek9747]

Love the sailing sequences and am constantly impressed with how swift and well balanced Mirrool is, watching how light the helm is. Reminds me so much of the boat my Dad had built in 1960 and the shape was almost the same as Mirrool, just slightly bigger at 34'6. We kept her for 46 years as she was such a joy to sail. Mum only sold her because she was 78.

[@darrylfisher4640]

This is what I like fishing, calm bays, , diving, and warm weather. Thanks

[@michaelromer7115]

I have always preferred the videos where you catch your food and cook it. Keep up the good work.

[@robertgephart7190]

I am so happy to see you sailing again. Thank you for taking us along on you adventures.

[@lylenesvold167]

I just love Pascals giggle.

[@michaelvanwinkle7919]

I admire you two choosing to sail off shore in a tiller steered boat of the size you sail. It is good to see a couple productively living off the sea.

[@johnproudlock1085]

It is not that I want to see you two suffer. It is that you two really sail.!

[@oceanictranquility7782]

Pascal and Troy, I don't know whether I've been following you guys for to long and have now become attached to your style of video making and sailing Marool, but to see you both sailing, diving and shopping for dinner is both exciting and a bit emotional. I am so glad you've decided to go back to sea and make great programmes. The sailing and sea state sequences are so real. It's clear you both enjoy life at sea. Personally I find your work both inspirational and encouraging. Thank-you for letting us into a great way of life. Soon, however, that'll be me! David

For a nice stock. Carrot. Onion. Celery. Fresh is best but powdered onion or celery will do. Half to a full teaspoon of pepper. Fresh ground is best but pre ground will do. Cover with about 3-4cm with water. I usually don't need to add salt there is enough in the meat and bones. Boil for an hour to one and a half hours depending on volume. Depending on the size of the pot makes 2-5 quarts of stock. I like a big stock pot so I get more like 5+ quarts. For meats. One or two filleted fish carcasses. A couple of lobster heads, legs, and remnants of the tail. Beef or pork bones. Leave any trimmings on as well as the fat. Lots of flavor in the fat. A well picked over chicken carcass. Half a turkey carcass. There are to many dishes to name that the various stocks can be used in. Home made stock does need to be used reasonably quickly but will keep in the ice box for upwards of a week. Btw it's nice for a warm up just heated up in a mug all by itself. I prefer chicken or beef for that. one of the really nice things about stock is you use what would be otherwise be cast off from the meats you have on hand. So you get at least 2 and up to 4-5 meals out of one batch of stock. Now That is efficiency.

[@miguelpaixao1317]

Hurra!!! Sailing, fishing, enjoying AGAIN!! and surfing waves!!.. i do miss it!!! One of the BEST feelings when sailing. Like everyone says: it is contageous! I am positivly jalous from you!!! Thanks

[@Garryck-1]

My second thought... at the 13:00 mark. "Wow.. so even Troy sometimes fails to get a headshot. He's mortal after all!"

[@FreeRangeLiving]

The shame...

[@percival3830]

Loving the way you navigate your life and adapt to changing conditions.

[@richardp4544]

Glad to see you two back on the move. I'm sure you enjoyed the break but it seems to me that you are both happiest when on the boat. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@jamieminton172]

A spacious rain locker attached to a 40 gal water heater, a washing machine and dryer would be coveted. I had to chuckle at the "Home Cooked Meal". Thems crocodile tears. LOL

[@LarsBocher]

What a great intro. Your enthusiasm is totally contagious. The real beauty, however, is in all the details: Securing a preventer without leaving the cockpit. The image of the hand resting on the stanchion. The pretty and very functional little swing at the end of the tiller. Sailing so fast that the wind generator stops. I could go on, and I'm happy that you are too.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Cheers Lars! So good to be exploring our home state once again.

[@Blueybob]

Fan-tab-ulastic. Portrait of two people relaxed and happy with each other, their chosen life and gorgeous conditions.

[@markc3717]

Glad to see you two set sail , even though it got lumpy. Saw this somewhere - an African proverb - smooths seas do not make skilful sailers … I reckon you’ve had more than enough non-smooth seas to refine & build your skills - time for some enjoyable cruising. Thanks for taking us along.

[@beniank9091]

Got my navy tee, man the waves were huge great sailing guys.

[@billyhinton9155]

Hay guys what a wonderful small sailboat with a wonderful young lady to help you out when you need it... I like your video's so much keep them coming ok???

[@goxsha791]

One of the more entertaining videos we have seen in awhile on you tube. Thank you both for sharing.

[@rexstiger6090]

Great to see you on the water again! I look forward to continuing with you in your adventures! Thanks

[@zerofox7347]

Hey guys I’m looking forward to seeing the next round 😆I’d love to see lots of fishing and more shots from the stern seat of Marrool👍

[@thomasspainhour1112]

Breathtakingly beautiful

[@solosailorsv8065]

Look at You; Season Two !! Boat looks new and so do You (just the smile-lines are deeper !!)

[@davidferry548]

You have done a great job with the refit, sometimes the best boat to buy is the one you already own

[@svbarryduckworth628]

You do have to start with something with good bones though. You can't polish a turd.

[@philipritson8821]

You may not be able to polish a turd, but you can roll them in glitter!

[@t1corvette]

Thank you guys for continuing to deliver amazing content! As usual, this has been the highlight of my week!!!

[@nealmcdaniel2619]

Loved the Spanish lobster (spiny lobster) roundup - nice size carpace - good for grilling as kabobs skewered with peppers and onions between - little salt and pepper and drizzled with honey / butter melt while cooking -- yum. Same as we do it here in the Bahamas

[@buffalobob2002]

Great video! Delivered everything as promised. Cameras can't capture the magnitude of waves, but that was the best capture of the sea state I have seen.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Bob!

[@justforfux]

I was going to say something to the same effect.

[@bryanbadger6841]

G'day folks. Calling in from across the ditch here in Nz. It's just great seeing you heading away. I had a good feeling about this episode. Sailing. Fishing. Diving. All the ingredients for a great adventure. Back to "Free Range Sailing." Take care folks. Atb from over here.

[@HopeOfJoe]

Great episode guys ✌️ 🌞 ✨ ⛵️ ✨ When I can see nothing but sky from your cockpit, I know you have some big swells going on. Great photography for sure. ✨🌊⛵️🏝👙🌞✨

[@deankoch7305]

Hi. I saw you on Izzy's channel Sailing girls for a brief second at the end one of her videos. Nice to see you 2 again.

[@stevev5510]

Loved seeing Troy put on that preventer... Shows how well prepared and well though out Mirool is. No point going forward in a 3m sea when you don't need to.

[@Bruski68.]

Hey Guys, great to see you sailing again, I half expected you to sell your boat and become landlubbers, glad I was wrong about that.

[@barneyscott8634]

It's great to c your under water shots , I love the the West coast even though I am from east coast but spent 5 years over there and u can't beat the fishing keep going and c u soon

[@ralphy101112]

Fabulous video, as usual. Always a peek into the sailing life . Fishing, drone cam, floundering panchetta, sailing, cooking, diving and lobstering. Thank you for letting all of us tag along on your adventures. GR022. New boat registration numbers?

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Yup. WA rego

[@skipper9400]

really good vid guys...I think the thing that impresses me the most is that you two seem to make the difficult look normal, and the rough stuff look fun......I would guess that's why you are sailing, instead of sitting in a marina somewhere....you guys are REAL Sailors, not amateurs playing at sailing. I enjoy your vids more than you can know, as I'm now close to 74 years, and cannot go sailing anymore...my Wife is a Semi-Invalid, and needs constant care......your vids have really given me a great amount of enjoyment...THANKYOU...OnWard....

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Give our regards to your wife and thanks for joining in.

[@shieldaigbencher]

Thank you. Great news you are continuing into a second lap. Loving it.

[@shawnbarnett8366]

Great to see out sailing again.

[@sasfish1966]

T-shirt ordered and I'm happy to support such a great endeavor.

[@rickwatts7885]

It’s truly wonderful to see you both back on the open sea! You both look relaxed and back at home! Thank you for your offer, I just ordered my long sleeve shirt for the coming cooler weather. And I ordered it in Navy blue. I looks like it will match the color of the water just off the coast of Perth. Have fun and stay safe!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks for the support mate. Navy is our favourite colour!

[@matthewprather7386]

Best scenery, seafood, and sailing video in a long time! I'm guessing some of your mental bandwidth is restored after completing the refit, somewhat hurried shakedown, and good family visit!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Definitely enjoying a much slower pace as we cruise up the WA coast!

[@rp37027]

An amazing video… wonderful job filming and editing. Already on par with the very best sailing channels on KZbin, they still get better with every posting. I especially appreciate the little touches that show your personalities, the love for what you do and for each other. Thank you for the hard work to let us experience your adventure with you, although vicariously. And thanks for the FRS gear! ⛵️

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Ron and thank you for your generous support! Pascale

[@chrisxz7210]

Love this channel! ❤️ I also love Sailing into Freedom - ep. 333 - left me smiling for hours

[@charlesseymour1482]

Great sailing vid clip. Fair winds and following seas for you two lovelys.

[@shaunglendinning]

Glad you are back on the water! Loved the video, especially the underwater footage. Looking forward to what's next. Cheers for now.

[@Gold_Hunt_Australia]

Hello Troy and Pascal. You are both looking so wonderfully healthy. I am hoping that you will continue sharing your adventures for many years to come. I have been going over some of Malcom Douglas's Kimberly adventures and couldn't help but draw parallels with the love that you all have for nature and remote living. I could really see land based video documentaries in your futures. Your ability to share your knowledge and enjoyment of all things free range are inspiring.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks so much Steve for your kind words and comments. Who know what the future holds!? Hope that vintage caravan is coming along nicely ;-)

[@Gold_Hunt_Australia]

@@FreeRangeLiving yes it's coming along fine. Lots of rot to get rid of so it's taking a little longer. All now replaced, insulated board and first cupboards going in. Water tank goes in tomorrow. Then the floor. It should nice alone nicely from there. Cheers

[@deeparks3112]

Dread pirate Pascale was handling that tiller like a champ, the two of you seem very relaxed, and oh my does Mirrool slide across the sea!

[@Tomm9y]

I hadn't noticed before how Mirrool is so canoe shaped. She's more like a 25ft boat with overhangs. A sea kindly boat.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

yes she has a very narrow beam and an "almost" canoe stern! We love her overhangs. She looks a lot like 27' wooden folk boats

[@spiritflower6640]

Yep 😊all the good stuff in one video! What a magical place, these islands, and, you guys sure do eat well I say yay for some easier sailing... you still get surprises along the way no matter! 😁🤙i just bought my first frs merch! 👏🎊

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@butsobutso]

Great to see you back on the water. I'm curious to see your lobster catcher. Could you give a brief demo in an upcoming video? Seems an easier way of catching rather than using a spear. Cheers Pete & Sue.

[@gymcoachdon]

Great video! Keep this up! I just ordered a T-shirt, happy to help out that way.

[@Dutch_off_grid_homesteading]

heya yes you are sailing again and doing your thing

[@sailing.jabiru]

My Missus and I love your provisioning guide. Shirt ordered to say thank you. Thanks guys.

[@townsville69]

I used to get a sea urchin and mash it up. Then watch all the baldies swim up to the burly trail. Really quite amazing stuff.

[@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643]

Dang, even on camera those swells looked big, and cameras rarely do them justice.

[@edl617]

Loved every second of this video ! Great to see you off on your travels again 😊👍

[@paullewis6612]

Beautiful to see you back on the water. It’s not a case of watching to see you suffer, it’s because we wished we could be there with you 😁. Fair winds, Good people. 🇬🇧

[@justsomeguy6474]

21:11 that is what seasickness looks like.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Not here fortunately

[@justsomeguy6474]

@@FreeRangeLiving Following seas make me queasy.

[@oldbloke204]

Great quality video there guys. Gotta say I love the look of the Abrolhos islands, something different. Personally I much prefer the videos when you guys are fishing, diving, exploring or explaining the history of different places. Each to their own I suppose but a nice relaxed cruise to various places would seem to be the nicest way to do things. Thanks for the video.

[@FrostyDog9186]

Fish heads, fish heads, rolly-polly fish heads, fish heads, fish heads, eat them up, yum!

Very enjoyable video! It fully lived up to your opening statements. Fishing, snorkeling, drone video, great sailing on cool seas! All we could ask for.

Gread to read from you, I can´t even imagine to have fish soup for breakfast, if I would have that for breakfast I´ll feed the fish, within a second, I´m more a Bacon an Eggs or Hardroll and Marmelade Type. Enyway you´ll have a Fan in Germany, I´m looking forward to your next adventures.

[@suzannechance5876]

Fish chowder or even soup on a cool morning is so delicious. Your catch was big and the filet is nice and clear, kudos to both.

This last few videos have resulted in a very happy satisfied smile. God bless you two. I will contribute vis PayPal. Looking forward to more videos, just catching up. I had just missed the tshirts. I signed up to be notified if you do a second run. Take care.

[@PreacherwithoutaPulpit]

The refit is just so amazing and she just really dances across the waves now. You and Pasky both seem so much more relaxed now knowing that Marool will get you through whatever may come. This was another excellent episode and I thank you so much for sharing. With a special needs son the wife and I may never get out there but thanks to outstanding channels like your's we get to share in the experience as much as anyone can without being their. Those Lobster looked amazing as did the fish and just so gracefully harvested with nothing going to waste as is your way. Safe Travels, Fair Winds and God Bless...

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks so much for the kind words we are so glad we can bring you a little of the experience, without the seasickness and sleep deprivation :D

Cant tell you what a highlight when your vids come out, cheers me up no end seeing you two free birds doing what you love. Got my order in for 5 hoodies and 4 tees for me - her indoors and the fam, missed the last run around xmas.

[@svbarryduckworth628]

I hope things are not too sticky there in Australia regarding travel between districts and such. I suppose leaving to right now would be difficult as all the typical waypoints to go across to SA and eventually the Americas are difficult and could close up at any time. Here in the USA we have been able to travel pretty freely up and down the East Coast on the Atlantic side the last year and a half without too many issues as we migrate with the weather . Finding open marinas with available pumpout facilities have been the only difficulty and that was really only last year. Things have opened up pretty well in 2021 so far. So many new cruisers out right now here. I wonder if it is the same out there. We see as many newbies out as a Experienced cruisers these days in the US. I wonder how many will still be cruising in a couple more years?

[@FreeRangeLiving]

hard to say. We are pretty lucky here in WA it is a massive coastline with currently no closures between regional areas excepting certain aboriginal communities in the far north.

[@svbarryduckworth628]

Sounds like a good place to stay until things clear up with this pandemic eventually. Can you sail year-round there or is there a storm season that drives you out to somewhere else safer like we have on the East Coast of the US and Caribbean? We just migrate north and south a couple thousand miles each season to keep in comfortable temps and stay out of the hurricane zone for summers. It's too hot down there anyhow, way up north it is much nicer, especially without aircon in a simple sailboat.
