Very good Captain! My name is Anselmo Oliveira, I'm Brazilian, Industrial and Clinical Engineer, and I'm following your videos. I am passionate about sailboats and passionate about sailing. I'm studying to have Captain Amateur habilitation. This video looks fantastic, like everyone else, but I do not know why, I felt a greater energy in this. Thank you very much, all good and good winds.

Glad you enjoyed Anselmo, and best of luck with your Captains license! :)

[@BillReitz]

Capt. Rick and crew your video work is getting sooo good. I'm liking the history lessons. Thank you for the hard work it takes to put these together. I bet the outtakes would be very funny.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks Bill, happy to hear you enjoy them! :)

[@SuperLeGaard]

Really love the way you catch the moments. Like feets, shoe, smiles while you throw in some history spiced withe some everyday happiness. I wish I was one in your crew of all of my heat! Lot's of vibes and smiles from a kitchen some were in the middle of Sweden. PS. Your videos means more to me than you know. Thanks for being there! 👍

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Hey thanks Mate, and glad to hear from you way over in your part of the world! :)

[@danielwilson3154]

Good folks making good video's.Thanks so much.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks much to you also for great comment Daniel! :)

[@gaflaview6476]

Especially like the Mavic video and i am always amazed at the number of locales you are allowed to fly, let us hope it continues. Thanks

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

There aren't many regulations in force down here yet, but I'm sure as they follow the US example that will likely change in the future..

[@brianboys9015]

Love the sound of the waves lapping on the shore.

[@onthebeaches]

What a super fun video Rick! THANKS! PEACE OUT!

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Glad you enjoyed! :)

[@teresabreton1453]

You are SO Right DASHA! She was out of control!

[@jimkamm2359]

Great video Rick. The four of you walking away from the dog on the beach was really pro stuff. Can't tell you how much this old dude relegated to wheel chair enjoys your work.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks Jim, always great to hear that our work is appreciated! :)

[@snoozinglion8596]

Very cool Rick, thanks for sharing...

[@rajuncajun121]

Another great video Rick. Martinique is a beautiful Island and love the open markets. Thanks for sharing and sail on. 😎

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Glad you enjoyed Rick! :)

[@jjburns8762]

Fair enough. Rick, thanks for your reply

[@svilenkonac2084]

4:32 mushrooms, mushrooms all over the place :) and on 18:18 Rick got some moves 🕺👍. Cool video.

[@sandifoster8782]

just a gorgeous vid

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks Sandi! :)

[@johnadams2313]

Excellent video as always.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks John! :)

[@chuckmaurice3646]

Rick, Once again you have done it up right an outstanding video, Thank You

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks Chuck! :)

[@theymakeitlookeasy]

Wonderful bands in the French Caribbean. We saw an awesome band in that big restaurant/night club overlooking Deshaies in Guadeloupe a couple of years ago, well worth checking out when they're performing. And St Lucia, Rodney Bay, when the ARC boats come in there are some eye popping performers at the parties!

[@zzzxxzzz4797]

Thanks for sharing 😎

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Welcome! :)

[@hummelsmoving]

You are so right! We were there just last week-- language barrier--some of them try and some of them just don't! We have found this each time we have come here. We try too.

[@mickobrien6360]

Great video, got a real sense of what it must be like to be there, loved it!, I am currently moored in Plymouth UK, which is good, but no sunshine, or sitting out in the evenings, although back home tonight and my boat is 260 miles away. x

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks Mick, glad you enjoyed.. and sorry the boat is so far away!

[@jjburns8762]

Another informative video Rick. Great job. It's nice to see the true costs ( $ US or SCD or Euro, etc.) of a lot of your crews provisions. This helps a lot of people's decision making process on the islands.

[@hibbiteejibbitee]

Fun video

[@josephdavis7347]

lots of fun, Thanks

[@dianerearick9365]

Great video. Very much enjoyed

[@teresabreton1453]

OMG! BAHAA Poor Dasha! That woman mauled her in the street! haha

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Yes, was pretty funny! Lol

[@dashareindeer5905]

Not that funny for me..

[@teresabreton1453]

I'm not sure if Dasha's ready for the translation! !! LOL

[@claytonduguay9617]

If I were visiting French Caribbean islands on a regular basis I would learn enough french to get by. Enjoyed the extended vid!

[@debrasalt3598]

Marigot, SXM used to be like this in the late '70's and 80's.Too bad! Beautiful video.

[@jeffro8373]

Great video Rick looks like a well deserved break ,see you on the next one thanks for sharing

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks Jeff, next one coming soon! :)

[@Zinctwentyone]

Great show. The hippy music opening and all.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Glad you enjoyed! :)

[@aquasurfer9]

Screw the walking, just send the drone up there. Nice salsa music and thanks for visiting martinique after the hurricane and letting us know that people are working their businesses and harbor has lots and lots of room for boats.

[@richieodonnell2712]

The music very much reminded me of being in Cuba! Martinique seems incredible! Thanks Rick + Crew

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

yes, it felt like it had a very Cuban flare to it.. :)

[@randyprimmer691]

Very interesting island, thanks for showing us around. Poor Dascha.

[@dashareindeer5905]

Randy Primmer I get all the love!

[@MrRourk]

Dasha Reindeer I thought she was going to kidnap you Dasha.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Glad you enjoyed Randy! :)

[@914va]

Thanks for the extended vid...great edit job.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks Lawrence, and you're welcome! :)

[@AV-qt2sz]

Appreciate vicariously traveling w u and crew. I appreciate your work. Thanks

[@mickobrien6360]

Ever thought about doing an interactive map? A Google map of where your moored, click on and watch the video? just a thought! Love your work.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Been building the video database with that exact thing in mind for past couple years... now just need someone that can actually build it! :)

[@Jan-ut6hi]

Working on it. :)

[@sri160]

You Guys An Girls are Amazing bless you xxxx

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks Nigel! :)

[@andycarr4847]

Not usually this early, but happy I sure am. ☺👍

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Congrats on 1st Andy, and hope you enjoy the video! :)

[@SV-DEDICATED]

extended is good!!!!!!!!

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks Roger, glad to hear! :)

[@SailingShaggySeas]

So cool that you filmed so much of the cultural aspects of the island!

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Yes, been working to include more and more of that in the videos... glad you enjoy! :)

[@sailingdijan9128]

Awesome! Your videos are the best! Ill be visiting there! Thanks. See: Sailing Dijan

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks, and maybe see you here soon! :)

[@beno2rasho]

Dasha was like...."get me the fvk out of here!!!"

[@stevenlovett8436]

Whoa! Talk about inspiring Island love! Hahaha. She wanted herself a piece of Russian stroganoff. In case you didn't know the American flag flown upside down is a distress signal like SOS, Mayday, or Pon-pon. Great episode guys looks like a grand adventure. Sasha's English is getting better. How is your Russian coming along? Cheers All!

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

yes, I realize it is meant to be a distress signal, so all the more reason I was wondering why they would be doing that on a French beach in the Caribbean...?

[@stevenlovett8436]

Rick Moore Possibly a polotical statement from a person that subscribes to a Liberal American Ideology. Some elements of our Liberal Party see the flag as racist and the government as well and so as citizens they have started to fly the flag upside down. Very disrespectful and sad but , let freedom reign eh!?

[@99davp]

Liberal democrats are the New Communist Party stevie

[@KJ-qd9zb]

The Russian girls rocked it on the dance floor!

[@RubenFletcher]

I'm rather pissed off at the upside down American flag. Being a Veteran and knowing what that means and seeing it on foreign land pisses me off. I wouldn't treat someone else's flag like that.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

yes, not sure what that was about, and why they were flying an american flag on a french beach in the first place...

[@clarencehollowell7662]

They wouldn't have gotten a dime from me.

[@michaelsamuel4159]

Sugar Apple!

[@allanwold9354]

🙋Hay capt rick Kind of windy and foggy going up the hill bad visibility when you get to the top ? How many us in a uro? 😀⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⚓

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

yes, the top of the volcano is almost always above the local cloud level... and wow was it windy! :)

[@chrisphinney6430]

so pretty

[@PackMuleMonday]

How is the Lorraine beer? I hear it's an "acquired taste".

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

I think every beer is an acquired taste, but the Lorraine beer is a nice flavour... unlike most of the French rums! Lol

[@sailingsvteakkeyrandyfryli8206]

Hey Rick just a boat question how many hours on your Perkins diesel and how many hp thanks Randy

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

it's a 90hp with about 17,000 hours on it

[@sailingsvteakkeyrandyfryli8206]

Good motor

[@Phildo8]

Hay Captain Rick just found your channel & im hooked! Love the videos! Just sent ya some $ for some drinks & all the awesome footage! I just wanna ask HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE GALEOCERDO OR AS SHE WAS PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS WALLY 118? HAVE YOU EVER SEEN "SAILING YACHT A" EITHER OF EM IN OPEN WATER OR AT THE MARINA?

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Hi Phil, and welcome aboard! Very glad you are enjoying the videos, and yes I have filmed 'A' and 'ECLIPSE', both at anchor in St Martin.. They appear in a couple videos but the one that comes to mind first you can find if you search "Captain Rick's Picks" and look for the St Martin Simpson Bay edition. Enjoy! :)

[@organicrich]

👍

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

:)

[@celestialskye1]

Loved the music 🎶 it even got You moving there Rick! Wondering if Dasha headed straight for the ocean after her encounter with the mauling that she got ~ eww. Guess ya can't say people aren't friendly there,eh. You didn't say what the food turned out to be. Sure did like hearing JUST the sound of the waves ~ very peaceful. Was this a caught up video? Or we still missing some? Give Tiki a kiss from me and greetings to all. ✨

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

still more coming! :)

[@dashareindeer5905]

Straight for the bar..

[@celestialskye1]

Dasha Reindeer Yup, nothing like some alcohol to remedy anything left over ~ 😉🍸

[@aquaticthumb5193]

I don't know that that womans agenda is , but it was super creepy . I would have pushed her away and checked for my wallet .

[@celestialskye1]

Sam krieger Honestly, I thought that one more minute she was going to jump Dasha's bones! Really weird ~ makes one wonder what she's capable behind a mask during carnival time. 😱😵

[@aztekjp]

Krásná kabelka*

[@jackterry7664]

Anyone ask why they flew the American flag upside down? Bad taste!

[@MrRourk]

They are French

[@jackterry7664]

I like them too!

[@roseannmonaco2981]

Jack Terry upside down flag is usual sign of distress.

[@dennismassie3552]

👋🏻☀️🏝⛵️

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

:)

[@iceman5866]

at about 11:57 , wow that's sad to see them fly the flag up side down. where are you at rick

[@thomaslemay8817]

The market reminds me of shopping in China except everything is much cleaner than it is in China.

[@dashareindeer5905]

Can anyone translate what the crazy woman was saying to me, please!

[@jeffro8373]

It's a Heinz 57 band

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Lol!

[@nocoolname32]

drugs are bad, mmmmk

[@itsmePassportBro]

Hi Rick. What's the name of that drone...

[@mauileighsvtachikazemaru2637]

Dasha ruuuuuun

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Yes, no kidding! Lol

[@mauileighsvtachikazemaru2637]

Rick Moore .... hey Rick really love you guys love all the work that you do and working my way down south as we speak hope to be able to sit down and enjoy a cold one with you this winter. SV Tachikaze Maru Steve and Sargent

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Look forward to seeing you down here! :)

[@dashareindeer5905]

mauileigh SV Tachikaze Maru nowhere to run!

[@mauileighsvtachikazemaru2637]

Dasha Reindeer I sure hope you went and took a shower or scrubbed yourself really good where she was smashing her lips all over you

[@space_coast_snapshots6457]

HAS there been a change in the page name?

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

I just switched it back to my name again... switched it to AmbientRealLife a while ago to promote the brand name, but then I felt it was less personal when talking to you guys, more like talking to a business instead of a real person and I didn't like that, so switched it back... but I'll likely ask you guys what you think about that decision in near future.. :)

[@plstrom]

thats the merengue , right ?!

[@ED7891001]

Why was that American flag flying upside down?

[@flooptydoo1178]

Exactly! WTF????

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Not sure, was wondering if someone here might know why...

[@webbrowne2291]

Why is the flag upside down. That is not cool!
