Is It Safe to Sail to Papua New Guinea? Navigating Rumours, Visitors, and Remote Waters | S3 E30

[@brentmcdonald1105]

Having had 4 children ourselves I am amazed the energy you both give your children very generous the gift that you give them daily

[@sailingwithsix]

Thanks! It's certainly a full life 😎

[@keithb2338]

Your family defines what making lemons out of lemonade really means! Choosing to turns a rainy passage into an opportunity to clean the decks was genius! I'm relieved that your unexpected visitors were just curious. It must be worrying though, being so isolated out there on your own. You're definitely a brave and adventurous lot! Stay safe and happy sailing! ❤🙏👍

[@sailingwithsix]

Gotta love a little rain dance 😀

[@georgmichelitsch9915]

Thanx for the Film. Great. Greetings im Austria Vienna. George

[@sailingwithsix]

Many thanks George 😀

[@tcoker6616]

Thanks for sharing the Bougainvillea story, I had no clue.

[@sailingwithsix]

It's a wild story isn't it?!

[@tlowe2502]

Thanks guys for another great video. Congrats on the nice Maui. You're throwing me off calling Finn Ted. Stay safe y'all. 👍🏻💕🐾

[@sailingwithsix]

Yes he goes by Finn and Ted

[@HarrysHappenings]

I am an amateur oil painter and I love seeing those amazing cloud formations and insane sunsets. If I painted a sky with those reds people would not say it was real. Love being with you all on your journey.

[@sailingwithsix]

Thanks for sharing! I've seen enough sunsets now - I would believe you. They're incredible especially after a storm 😊

[@MichaelRhodes-w3k]

I really enjoy spending time with your beautiful family, and look forward to every episode xx

[@sailingwithsix]

Thank you so much 😊

[@NiclasLinden]

24.20 minutes with a big smile on my face. 😁 I am not going to repeat myself.......well, yes I am actually.... I LOVE watching your videos! Your family emit such a fantastic energy that goes straight trough the screen into all the people watching. As always, give each other a BIG hug from me in Sweden. 💙

[@sailingwithsix]

Thanks for the HUGs 🤗

[@dennismatthews6660]

Thank you for your journey.

[@sailingwithsix]

You're welcome! 🗺️

[@christinnamichel1889]

It's so cool that you have seen something unknown. That looked pretty cool.

[@sailingwithsix]

Bizarre right!

[@rinkrude1]

Some stunning shots at Sunset when the noble gases ignite to give us a spectacular display. I did note the globe at the table...as a sailor, do you believe in the Globe?

[@sailingwithsix]

Yes we do believe in the globe - we are able to sail around the worlds oceans because they all connect and we haven't found the edge yet so it must be a sphere. No?!

[@FrankJamger]

Well, this turned out to be a lovely passage. Beautiful skies 9:24, 10:57, 15:46. On the handline, it's a better catch the second time around- nice! Love that bird who welcomed you to Papua New Guinea. This place has a good market, handsome trees, accommodating people. No worries... Ted will get that fan working I'm sure.

[@sailingwithsix]

Stunning sunsets 🌅 Ted certainly fixed it! Thanks for watching to the bitter end 😉

[@leastcoast5606]

So nice to watch your videos. A happy family enjoying life traveling, couldn't ask for more. I'm sure everyone has their moments like everyone but it sure seems like the kids love doing things together. Thank you again for improving my day.

[@sailingwithsix]

You're welcome. ☺️

[@simonlangevin6779]

Another nice fish 😋

[@sailingwithsix]

Delish!👌

[@Sgt_MoDog_USMC]

Man, that sky at 9:33 is SPECTACULAR !!!! Always been curious why you guys don't use regular fishing poles instead of the line on the circular keeper? Is it a "Saving Space" type of thing? How often do you guys enter a new country and Kris just gets stares from the locals because of him being 6'7" tall? LOL Another great video from one of my Favorite families out on the Deep Blue! 😁

[@sailingwithsix]

We use these fishing reels because we haven't invested in any big fishing gear and initially this is all we had to work with - now we just like the ease of the setup so we've stuck with it. Gotta love the sunset and giggle at the stares from the locals - looks like he has 5 little kids following him everywhere too 😂

[@JasonYoung-m3p]

Thanks for the forecast! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@mattcarroll106]

If it comes down to pirates, bear spray. And loaded spear guns, might deter an attack. Just a thought to protect your family.Im quite sure you have already thought about this and have your own plan. Love the videos!

[@sailingwithsix]

Yes unless they show weapons we will always take a friendly approach 😄

[@Randyet62208]

@sailingwithsix Have you seen anything at night or day that you can’t explain during your family’s travels?

[@sailingwithsix]

Initially I saw Elon Musks satellites flying all in a line one night when they first launched and I had no internet to be able to search it so thought it was a space phenomena until someone explained it to me and washed away my amazement 😂

[@js7127]

Venus in the sky.

[@mattcarroll106]

Venus usually has a twinkle of red and blue. I don’t know if it could be beetle juice, and some astronomers say it will go super nova soon. Others say could be up to 300 years.

[@sailingwithsix]

I think it must be a planet 🌟

[@Alan-R1971]

I recently watched a video on rebuilding those fan on another boaties channel Ted will knock it out in no time for sure. 👍

[@sailingwithsix]

Yes - Spoon drifters? I saw they put that out recently. Gotta get those items onboard.

[@denisecole6128]

Do you make fish stock for fish stew.

[@sailingwithsix]

We have done in the past but at these latitudes its too hot to cook inside so we minimise making extra things on the stove or oven.

[@joannesutherland]

❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@sailingwithsix]

😀

[@jimshanks9495]

i realized that three channels i watch have a son named Finn!

[@sailingwithsix]

A popular name for sure! Our Finn doesn't mind going by Ted 😄

[@waltervanderboor]

Can you share where you cleared in into PNG?

[@sailingwithsix]

Sure thing - Kavieng, New Ireland. Sorry, we will add a map in the next episode so you can see.

[@CarltonTweedle]

I miss seeing the stars, when at sea you could see billions of stars. On shore so much light lucky to see the moon. Also the sunsets and rises.

[@sailingwithsix]

I know the sky lights up when you're remote - its so special 😀

[@jonlowing7907]

Ahoy, the mariners! (I'm not one, btw, so this question comes from the perspective of the uninitiated!) I'm assuming, perhaps erroneously, that you have identical engines and props per hull and I'm wondering whether you have to compensate for diagonal drag when running on only one engine. If so, does this not affect fuel efficiency and create stresses in the vessel's superstructure?

[@sailingwithsix]

Hey, great question. No we haven't had diagonal drag from running one engine. However, we have experienced this type of 'crab walking' with ocean currents and we will run the opposite engine to try and mitigate the sideways movement.

[@jamesbillington5058]

I'm guessing that bright light was the planet Venus, the third brightest object in the night sky. It's just a guess, though. Cheers.

[@sailingwithsix]

It must be a planet. 🌟

[@garycody1929]

Barries are the biggest disappointment when fishing

[@sailingwithsix]

They sure are. Thankfully we hooked the mahi mahi 😄

[@xkarzorakx-ms6de]

The light could have been a helicopter, but that's far from land. Maybe you saw a ufo?

[@sailingwithsix]

A UFO - Possibly?!

[@xkarzorakx-ms6de]

@@sailingwithsix Maybe not an alien craft. But possibly an experimental military test.

[@richmeister1960]

Venus

[@sailingwithsix]

Yes it must be a planet 👍

[@garycody1929]

Isn't betel nut aftermath disgusting

[@sailingwithsix]

Totally gross!

[@RAW-y2s]

Ball lightning is a rare, mysterious phenomenon that appears as a luminous sphere of light that can range in size from a pea to several meters in diameter. It's often seen during or after thunderstorms, and is usually associated with cloud-to-ground lightning. Here are some characteristics of ball lightning: Color: Ball lightning can be red, orange, yellow, white, or blue. Duration: Ball lightning usually lasts only a few seconds, but can persist for several seconds. Movement: Ball lightning can move unpredictably, levitate above the ground, or move regardless of wind. Sounds: Ball lightning is often accompanied by a hissing sound. Smell: Ball lightning has a distinct sulfurous smell upon its disappearance. Damage: Ball lightning has been reported to cause damage by burning or melting, but is usually harmless.

[@sailingwithsix]

Fascinating! 🤨 I wonder if this was it?
