The Nature Island: Landfall in Dominica (Sea Change - Chapter 4)

Having our limits tested by the Caribbean and rising to the challenge was exhilarating but exhausting. We were ready for soft, cool earth under our feet. We were ready for landfall, and Dominica was our promised land. The comforting beauty of the landscape and the open hearts of the locals on the nature island were a treat we’ll never forget.

[@DeeperImageAutomotive]

I follow at least 20 sailing channels and finding this one, at least to me, was the equivalent of finding gold!!! Absolutely amazing quality and delivery of the story. I can't wait for the next one. This channel should have 10 million subs already. Thank you so much for sharing, safe travels!

[@driesoliver7972]

Words can not bring justice to the awe I felt when watching this, truly what I would love to live!

[@SailingTranquilityBay]

Proof that the EC is not ruined. We love Dominica and loved your beautiful depiction of it!

[@perfdavid]

If Emerson, Cousteau, and Nat Geo had a hybrid baby, it would be channel Sea Change. Best sailing/exploration channel out there. And your production level is bar none! Awesome!

[@leslieholt813]

So well put perfervid- Sweet!

[@SeaChangevoyage]

Wow, honored!

[@tylercompton7985]

For a long time I have been a disciple of other channels with inexplicably larger followings than Sea Change. But Sea Change has set a new standard. Production quality aside, Sea Change offers a cinematic eye that is unmatched by other sailing channels. While I still enjoy other channels, they mostly serve duty as something to have playing while I work; something that is more listened to than watched. Sea Change gets my full attention. Sea Change, you are more than reporters of life afloat, you are truly makers of cinema.

[@dwongu]

My wife and I just love your stuff - the cinematography, the narrative, the experiential storytelling (not to mention, the pooch). Brilliant stuff, inspiring.

[@idksailing910]

We need more "Sea Change"! Your audience has an addiction with your channel and we need more!

[@passmeby9398]

Well done. Ruffles seems to blend with his world. Beautiful.

[@etma01]

ludicrous mode filming/editing; incredible

[@SeaChangevoyage]

We'll take it! Thank you!

[@KotoriOnWheels]

Smiled the whole time I watched! A wonderful respite from the storm and long run to Dominca! Bravo!!

[@Will-nn3pb]

I love the way he brings his dog everywhere. Its true passion

[@billturner2360]

Captain Peanut is fearless fellows....... The leap off the boulder, the sprint across the log bridge and the Oh shit look on his face in the roaring rapids..... fearless little killer ! lol Great vid as always

[@billturner2360]

Oh and the boat chore thaughts...... priceless !

[@leslieholt813]

I totally agree Bill he just doesn't realize he's a lil' peanut i suspect!

[@billturner2360]

+leslie holt I have peanuts almost twin... lol same size, same face.... just mine has a brindle coat. Oh but mine jumps in my lap when the thunder rumbles. So... my little guy WANTS to be a killer but I don't want to hurt his feelings.

[@leslieholt813]

lol adorable.

[@nijerk13]

It is rediculous how relatively little views you guys get. The quality is insane. Keep it up and your channel will explode!!

[@KotoriOnWheels]

spread the word!!!

[@Ihavebeenwatchingyou]

From little things big things grow.

[@peterfranks7996]

It will explode.

[@Gamecockinnc1]

nijerk13 not only the quality the realistic quality of their lives and adventures.

[@markstanford3869]

Have not seen a video lately. Is everything ok?

[@bassism]

[@jenniferdesormes998]

By far my favorite Caribbean island that I've visited. It's just breath taking. Great video.

[@SeaChangevoyage]

Easily our favorite as well!

[@jimmcdonald9244]

Another brilliant instalment. Best narrative of Dominica I've ever seen, and there are plenty out there. Man, I can't wait for the next one.

[@SeaChangevoyage]

Kind of you to say, thanks so much!

[@whigmullins5636]

Fantastic content. You guys show the Dominica I remember.

[@azib958]

Your production value is off the charts! Keep up the great work!

[@Vandivervida]

You guys are awesome!! I'm a fellow sailor living in the Florida Keys & love what you're doing! Your videos, the cinematography, are amazing!! Thank you for allowing all of us to join you on your journey!

[@radwansabri1788]

So much hope and joy felt just by watching your journey! Your videos are a constant reminder of the freedom and majesty all around us, I hope you guys realize how important and powerful your impact is/will continue to be. Sending light towards you wherever you sail, we're with you for the long haul.

[@SeaChangevoyage]

Ah, thanks so much! We'll do our best to keep the stories coming. We appreciate the support.

[@hkm_865]

Honestly this is the best video quality I've ever seen on KZbin

[@simonbaker6072]

[@ChadKovac]

This visual poetry is going to explode... keep them coming, you're going to have a huge following.

[@journeyistheway]

wow! just wow! vagabonde and delos were my top, but you surpassed them by a lot. You'll deff grow in no time! Amazing content with splended quality of thee camera and not just the quality but the way you portray it and narrate it! (you better start harnessing your dog and putting a life jacket on him under rough waters, would suck to see him go overboard)... Thee dog, a mans best friend, keeps you sane out there in sea huh.

[@journeyistheway]

Mike L, I already seen it as soon as delos announced it, great film indeed. He is sailing in peace now.

[@laquanedwards7366]

Yess way better then delos and they actually get to know the ppl as well Kudos fellas

[@billbaxter2914]

Super editing. Look forward to your next video. Thanks

[@brickleberry7829]

Amazing video production. Thank you for sharing your adventure with the world.

[@svshabooms7513]

We absolutely love your videos. The production value and cinematography is through the roof. Eagerly awaiting the next video!

[@SeaChangevoyage]

Very much appreciated!

[@tagecom]

So I've followed your story from your first upload, checking each and every day to see if a new chapter has been released. I subscribed for the quality of the production but I'm now drawn in by the depth of the story you are sharing as you go. We are all out there with you and I can't convey how lucky and fortunate we feel to experience a small part of this. Thank you for your generosity and creativity. In a youtube saturated with unsteady hands and horrid audio, you are a breath of fresh air. Its like that satisfying inhalation after a hard rainstorm. Keep doing what you love. Great things will follow!

[@SeaChangevoyage]

Really appreciate this comment. It's one thing to capture a pretty shot, but our main goal has always been to share compelling stories. And hopefully inspire a few people along the way. Thank you!

[@craiggrocott7559]

A masterpiece! I too am amazed at the small following so far, just remember, like in field of dreams, if you build it, they will come, keep up the great work guys. Cheers from OZ

[@thenewfoundlander3929]

Waaaaay better then the garbage on National Geographic TV. Keep it up!

[@vica5184]

I have subscribed to many sailing channels and have seen this island and some of the same spots over and over but not like this. Your editing really captures the natural beauty in a way I have not seen before. I can't wait to see more!

[@SeaChangevoyage]

Thanks so much Vic!

[@beachboardfan9544]

Your stuff is awesomely filmed, fairly new channel but you guys keep it up I bet this channel grows fast.

[@MrTatts64]

Loved it! Excellent filming and footage. That guy Raffles, or Ruffles or whatever... He could teach a person so much on how to live for so little expense. Fantastic video, thanks guys. Keep up the great work!!

[@Babbelbob1]

This deserves way more views than it has.. good luck on your voyage, wish I could join you guys :)

Amazing video quality guys! Keep up the excellent work! I look forward to the rest of your travels. Stay safe!

[@SailingwithDogs]

I just love your work so much. The story, the beauty, the wonderful way you portray your subjects - each other and those you meet. I'd been saving this one up to watch when my little barker was sleeping (she'll bark at any dog on screen). Thanks for sharing your journey and amazing talent. Can't wait for the next. Maybe I'll go watch 'sailing the wrong way ...' for the 4th time ...

[@05llydude]

You guys make the best videos! Keep them coming!

[@rehtorbF03]

This channel is like SV Delos and SV La Vagabonde meet the production value of the BBC's Planet Earth. Brilliant and so glad I found you, keep up the great work!!

[@benfromn.z6430]

What a great video. Balance.

[@SeaChangevoyage]

Balance. Thank you!

[@MrZrryan2]

Balance, exactly. So glad you worked in some sailing and boat maintenance stuff, not just a film that is all-about-the-stop (even though the stop was, awesome). Thought provoking filmmaking, without being over the top. THANKS!

[@justincoleman2740]

Now that was well done. Tastefull amount of dialogue. Thank you.
