[@thalarirao8101]

Thanks, guys awesome video. You guys had the best lockdown. 👍

[@sailingpopao]

Haha thanks Thalari, we definitely got off lightly when it comes to lockdown I think 👌👌👌

[@ExpeditionSALTSailing]

So fun to watch the kick off of the cruising season again! Fantastic video as always guys 👌

[@sailingpopao]

Cheers guys, so excited to get to the good stuff finally! Hurry up and get south again 😆

[@mungbean84]

Seems funny to hear about lockdown on the goldy. Feels like so long ago now.

[@sailingpopao]

Yeah we are a tiny bit behind real-time, so much content backing up! I bet the Goldy is looking a bit different now!

[@jacksbackable]

Not if you live in Covidtoria! 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

[@gbachnik]

OK! I love your videos and I would like to ask you to talk more about how to spearfish, like your cooking videos, which are great too but I want to know how you find your spots, pick your targets, what's the range of your guns, what kind of spearguns you use, & why? Just a thought! Thanks!

[@sailingpopao]

Perfect, perfect, perfect! This is exactly what we love to hear Greg, thanks for the feedback will definitely keep that in mind for future videos moving forward 🙌

[@lukebatiste91]

Love it guys!

[@sailingpopao]

Cheers Luke!

[@Blackfish46]

"Is it a Long Weekend." Damm you. 😄

[@sailingpopao]

😂😂😂😂 sorry 😜

[@gary7684]

Nice variety of fish, looking forward to Qld reef episodes Love to try the recipe but I have to catch a fish first

[@sailingpopao]

Haha thanks Gary, catching it is def the hardest part but also the most rewarding👌 can’t wait to share the reef with you 😍

[@TheOceanman290]

Glad you liked the Gold Coast. The QLD groper has stolen a few Mangrove Jack of mine over the years.

[@sailingpopao]

Bhaha yeah he was ‘friendly’ def seen a few divers in his time 😆

[@skyespearfishing]

Good effort some cracking fish there! 👍 Michael I feel your pain with your drone crash! .... I crashed mine today luckly it didnt end up in the water! 🌊🌊🌊

[@sailingpopao]

Ouch! That’s fresh! Ours fell in the cockpit too but the fall broke a few parts. Hope you can fix yours too, Will update you next episode re our repairs 😬

[@bunyipdan]

Looks like you were having fun.....think you might consider DJI Care Refresh warranty (with your next drone purchase) especially with flying around rigging and over water so much. FYI....not to put a downer on your find, but I would strongly suggest you get advice (from QPWS) regarding the collection and possesion of that vertebrae (as it is partial remains of native wildlife especially a CITIES registered animal), I'm not sure how Qld operates but it is better to dot your i's and cross your t's on this one. Cheers guys

[@sailingpopao]

Cheers Bunyip, yep I’ve done the run around with department of environment and also fisheries but no solid answer- surprise, surprise. They don’t seem stressed about me keeping it and didn’t seem to now if I even needed a permit (helpful bunch 😂) I’ve put through a couple of emails so I’ve got something in writing if anything ever came about from it. Funny you say that re the drone... that’s exactly what we did this time 😂😂😂 it’s a great deal but we do have to physically have the drone so hoping it doesn’t go splashing in deep water 😂

[@bunyipdan]

@@sailingpopao Good idea to keep the correspondence, it is a CITES registered animal (part there of) so it will most likely require a permit to possess (red tape, but cheap compared to potential fines and agro). In the NT these are provided by Parks and Wildlife at no cost, but require a permit application, and potential refusal (should be low risk if there is no commercial benifit). Yep, operating a drone around water definitely makes DJI Care is a good idea, but you do have to recover it to make a claim, guess you could cover it in bubble wrap. You can get inflateable floats but this does effect performance, manuverability and are a real hassle so if you have to go minimal......thin foam plate stuck to it so it won't sink straight to the bottom?

[@SailingMallana]

Another great episode guys 🙌🏼 Definitely going to have to try adding the sugar with the salt to the fish 🤤 would never have thought to even try it 👌🏽

[@sailingpopao]

Cheers guys! 20mins before any fish, really brings out the flavours! Where are you now?

[@SailingMallana]

@@sailingpopao awesome! Going to try it tonight 🤤 we are at Goldsmith Island just wanting for the N to kick back in on Saturday then hopefully smash out a few good/long days of sailing! We are going slow haha never want to leave 😂 where are you guys?

[@sailingpopao]

@@SailingMallana nice one, we were on the southern side of Goldsmith last week! Stunning around there. Just at Kepples now, hopefully catch up along the way!

[@alexnichol3483]

Sweet vid guys. It's cool having a view of your lockdown experience now that restrictions have been lifted. Keep up the good work!

[@sailingpopao]

Cheers Alex, we definitely got off lightly that’s for sure 👌

[@alanprice9522]

shark and crock bait, tip sharks make great eating boneless beautiful crummed and deep fried yum.

[@sailingpopao]

So we’ve heard! Hard to target one when there is so many other good fish on offer though.

[@djangotaylor3591]

cheers mate never tried sugar and salt in the egg before will hundred percent try it

[@sailingpopao]

No worries, if you can do it to the fish 20mins before the egg it will be better!

[@richardkaye2228]

Thanks for the video , this just made my day , work is hard at the moment , xmas can’t come soon enough

[@sailingpopao]

Cheers Richard, glad we could help 🤗 Hoping you finish up work for the year soon and you have a great Xmas/new year 🤞

[@richardkaye2228]

@@sailingpopao guys I’m off until the 1st February , I may just get a taste of the freedom you have , is you tube enough to keep you guys afloat or do you still have to work part time , I don’t have any debt but have noticed since we moved aboard full time maintaining the boat isn’t cheap

[@sailingpopao]

Wow that’s a solid Xmas break 👌👌 Unfortunately it’s not enough to live off. We’ve kept costs pretty low with the boat but will be heading back to work over summer to top up the kitty. I had some event work lined up earlier in the year but it all fell through with covid so we’ve had a long time work-free and the savings account is looking real sad 😆 it’s nice knowing we can just drop anchor and work wherever/whenever we need and not have to pay rent or electricity 👌

[@richardkaye2228]

@@sailingpopao sounds like you have it worked out guys , the wife has dropped to 3 days a week and I’m at 4 and a bit , next year we are still deciding weather to work 3 days a week part time and have the rest off and go away for short stints or work 8 months of the year and go cruising for 4 months full time , it would be nice to go cruising and still be able to afford to do dinner and things without having to worry about money so I guess we will see what the new year brings , call in on way back for a frosty one , chow

[@sailingpopao]

Yes it’s always a toss up, money or roam with no commitments 😂 we always seem to choose the later. Cruising seasons work well with taking big chunks of time off but whatever works for you and your line of work.

[@victorbitter583]

How's your scrimshaw skills? Lovin the cookin. I'll try that crumbing method. Too easy and I'm always keen on any process that involves less washing up. cheers.

[@sailingpopao]

Haha id love a whale bone handled knife but I think this bone is just too perfect not to keep in this condition. It’s crazy how light it is now.

[@victorbitter583]

@@sailingpopao She shells scrimshaw on the shee saw. Try saying that after 8 beers. What? I can't even type it lol.

[@sailingpopao]

Victor Bitter 😂🤣😂 next episodes blooper reels 🤪

[@jslowks808]

I want to try this on a parrot fish

[@sailingpopao]

You couldn’t go wrong with this and parrot fish 🤤

[@Luke-ew6ov]

Awesome video guys! How recent is the footage from this? Is it from the first lockdown back in the spring or the reimposed one?

[@sailingpopao]

Thanks Luke, unfortunately it’s from the first lockdown 😬 we’re a bit behind... I think it was around April to May? I remember having Anzac Day there so somewhere around then.

[@Luke-ew6ov]

@@sailingpopao regardless of the timeframe, all the videos are great content, I was just curious. Stay healthy!

[@sailingpopao]

Thanks Luke! We are so excited to bring you guys the reef, it’s been amazing 👌👌

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Soo great! Love what you guys are getting onto! I've always wondered how closely related mulloway is to white sea bass?

[@sailingpopao]

Cheers mate! They are in the same Drum family, distant cousins perhaps 😂

[@Adventureman_Dan]

@@sailingpopao Sweet! Tasty all the same! :)

[@Jacedives]

Can't believe that whale bone was just sitting there!

[@sailingpopao]

Insane hey, we were laughing at how staged it looked but it was 💯 legit! We realised later that the anchor just acted like a big sweeper in the rough weather we had a few days earlier and had uncovered a bunch of sea junk and a few treasures 👌 so stoked.
