Small Boat - Big Waves | Starting our South Atlantic Ocean Crossing | Sailing Florence - Ep.129

[@billygrahamyachtsinc753]

I like your calm, relaxed and factual commentary and real video titles. Many other U Tube channel cruising couples, drive me nuts with their, click baiting comments, and video titles. What really gets to me is the " I am so excited" " I'm so excited" over and over again" then....repetition using the word "like" like" like".

[@jwstorey173]

I’ve been watching Markus as well. I love him, I’m on the east coast of Canada ❤️

[@peterfordred1761]

Brings back memories,wife and myself left Cape Town on a 43 ft cutter in 1980 heading for St Helena,Ascension,Fortaleza and on to Fort Lauderdale

[@canadiantraveler6060]

Nice you met Marcus...love his travels, as yours.

[@WM_Partners]

Amy, swallow a frog? Sweet girl, get better soon. Hopefully the sea air will do you right. Beautiful video of an unforgiving coast. Thank you for including us along for the ride. Sail safe and keep each other well. Much love from the States.

[@sails3538]

A touch of a cold or partying the night before leaving...??????

[@kemron94]

I love the giggle when going through the big waves

[@davidpowell6258]

Your videos are so well done it's a pleasure to watch and helps keep the dream alive. With my boat tied at the dock and my 69th birthday coming and still working, I need videos like yours to keep me going. Grand children almost grown up and retirement on the horizon and videos like yours to pull me across the finish line, life is good.

[@graplingurty]

Ding, ding, Florence underway.

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

Many sailing channels comment that they can't capture the size of the waves. IMHO, I say Bravo! You capture them so well I caught myself bracing in my chair. 👏👏

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

Maybe we just go out in bigger waves ;-)

[@rvnomading6326]

Hectic hey? 🤣 You've picked up the slang alright 👍😉

[@boediprasetya2850]

It's getting farther and farther you sail after a few months ago you stopped in Indonesia in the covid19 pandemic season. happy sailing. Safety First. greeting from Indonesia

[@MikeHarrison3266]

Let's not mention the voice. I'm excited for the adventure to come.

[@LaughterOnWater]

My wife and I have _so_ fallen in love with your channel. Looking forward to every episode! Stay safe out there!

[@PNWwonder]

Once again thanks for taking the time to share your life with us. I really enjoyed the guest in this one.

[@suzannechance5876]

I say again, that you two capture big seas like no one else! Dramatic and lovely, always such a pleasure to watch.

[@wardmacintyre1797]

Of all the KZbin channels I’ve been following I look forward to your latest episode the most.

[@ingriddoorn1201]

Same for us

[@william6526]

Out of all the sailing channels I watch you guys are the only sailors I consider sailors instead of the people who sail 50 miles and spend a month playing on the beach or partying on land. You guys are amazing. Stay safe and you are in our thoughts and prayers for a safe journey. God bless you both with his grace .

[@ingriddoorn1201]

We couldn’t agree more!

[@leesydneyharry7958]

Exactly, nice to watch some actual sailing for a change. The rest of the fray are basically influencers and lifestyle channels.😂

[@stephenburnage7687]

We are 1/4 way through a circumnavigation in a 34ft sailboat which we are progressively converting into the perfect small cruising boat.........BUT Moonrise will never compare to Florence. It looks perfect in every way (especially the dingy) 😍.

[@Adogsmate4267]

Lovely to see Florence in the open again. Good score with the rod, looks like pen gear, it will be as tough as nails. Remember, dull day, dull lure, bright day bright lure, good luck. Also good luck on the ocean crossing, I can't wait.

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

Ah that is interesting advice on the lure. We recently had a bright lure on a foggy day and had no bites! Next time we will try a dull lure in Fog. Thanks!

[@jackmarshall9626]

Keep

[@Routesofchange]

Awesome video! Thanks so much for the shoutout and support. You did a great job describing what I'm doing. Hope to see you in Brasil maybe!?

[@MrRourk]

God Speed Florence and Crew :)

[@SailingJura]

Amazing video, I have goose pimples when we begin introducing Marcus. I've been following his journey since he left Toronto, it's amazing to see him and South Africa as his current videos have him in Myanmar. Thanks for sharing, fairwinds from SV Jura - Bayfield, Ontario

[@Routesofchange]

Cheers Matthew. Apparently I'm lost in time...

[@man-with-handle]

Stunning footage of one of the most beautiful peninsula's on earth and great to see you sailing again 👍🏻

[@robbristow]

Great to have found your current position on Marine Traffic. Took a while as there are a number of boats named 'Florence'

[@bertski60]

having another boat in the picture sure helps to convey the wave size. good luck!!

[@jomelnk7899]

I missed you guy's.....you should post more ...You are the real deal ...and you do I real nice job on your videos... Thanks much !

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

It takes us 2 hours of editing per 1 minute of finished video, we prefer to make less videos but take more time over them. :-)

[@tomst9417]

Good to see Florence under sail again as you resume your circumnavigation. Please include some footage of your fishing using the rod and reel , hope you have lots of luck with it so you can enjoy fresh fish dinners!

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

Will do, we didn't catch anything on that short run, but had better luck in the next episode :-)

[@MrCrabbing]

Some spectacular scenery and views, poor Amy I hope you have plenty of Lemsip's aboard

[@sandycurriedashcamera7007]

I love this segment. Beautiful photography, narration and music. I used to race an Alberg 30 and a C+C 27. I live in Canada and used to run Lewmar Marine Limited here. Whitby Boatworks (builder of the Whiby boats) and C+C Yachts were clients of mine back in the 1980s. Today’s segment brings back many great memories. Have a safe passage!!! Sandy Currie, Perth,Ontario Canada

[@MrLebro11]

Back out on the open seas where Florence shines. So great to see you on your way. Thank you for showing the beauty of South Africa. Look forward to seeing your adventures on the high seas.

[@tommussington8330]

Amy I hope you're feeling well you sound hoarse in this video! Great start to heading home.

[@dirtroaddiaries5733]

I've been following Marcus since he left Canada... it's so fun when yall cross

[@Routesofchange]

Thanks!

[@roadboat9216]

You are doing so well! Yes, a break is very important. Glad you got refreshed and on again. Yes I followed Markus on his trip from Hawaii wow, scary with that infection. Thanks for another great production!

[@RoyClare]

Great sailing around the Cape Peninsula. Grew up on that coast. An ocean not for the faint-hearted. Thanks for the interview with Marcus, the lone sailor … what an adventure! Go well, it’s been fun following along.

[@BoatDawg]

Love the cinematic open, good job!

[@beazleteats4031]

How wonderful to see Marcus travelling alongside you guys...I've been following him since he began his long journey. If you can send him a message on the radio please send him my best wishes. Safe sailing guys.

[@Routesofchange]

My radio has a pretty weak signal... haha

[@SailingSteelSapphire]

Yay - so happy to see Florence out sailing again! Love, love, loved the opening sequence music - sets up the Atlantic adventure perfectly. And great job shining a light on Marcus and his crazy mission. As you rightly summed up, Matt, absolutely anything is possible when it comes to chasing dreams so long as you're prepared to work hard and give up some stuff along the way.

[@Routesofchange]

Yeah Steelies!

[@anitatroyer2066]

Oh my i love travelling along with you and seeing the beautiful sites along the way. Being a Canadian.... I loved you talking with Marcus and his journey. Stay safe and can't wait until your next video. ❤

[@tomriley5790]

Another great video! Fantastic to see Florence sailing again!

[@mojoneko8303]

You two are the real deal. I suspect your last leg across the Indian Ocean was a lot more daunting than the crossing of the South Atlantic that lies ahead of you. Well I hope it is.. 🙂 Good luck on the next leg of your adventure. Thanks for the video. Fair winds and following seas. Sail On!

[@MrShabby169]

Another well produced stunning video. Well done you two. Your voice sounded a little husky Amy hope you haven't been too sick.. Take care..

[@ericfleming5522]

Beautiful day for a departure.

[@jonathansmith8691]

The footage is amazing and the way you captured the swell of the sea with Craig's boat is great. Also good to see his view of you! Super episode and stay safe. Hope Amy's voice recovers!

[@stevewhite791]

Amazing adventures, inspired and lazy at the same time watching KZbin instead of walking the dog.

[@andrewbouwer4445]

So glad to hear that you guys had an amazing time in South Africa, and safe travels. Cape Town is a awesome place. 👍

[@stetomlinson3146]

Glad to see you back at sea and re-energised for your long passage. Thanks for the content and fair winds and safe sailing.

[@ianbullphoto1]

I just love your videos and the filmmaking gets more professional-looking every time.

[@stevelambert7496]

Always great to see you on the move 👍

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

Thanks Steve :-)

[@Brianj69]

I absolutely love your videos. Amy & Matt thank you for taking us along on your incredibly journey!🙏

[@omarkn4371]

thank you for bringing all this beauty to our desktops! (+ music choice = 5*)

[@leesydneyharry7958]

Great to see you with a buddy boat. Well done!

[@dragonfly8080808]

Yhanks for sharing

[@braddobson2060]

Great vidio have a good passage

[@bobbenson9789]

Florence looks great.

[@davidcunningham5422]

Congratulations on surpassing 100,000 subscribers!!! A great accomplishment for a great couple and their sailing channel! Looking forward to watching the next leg of the journey.....🎉🥂🇨🇦

[@suedunstan9267]

Great to see you guys back on the move,look forward to your next Vlog

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

FLORENCE! YES! I look forward to another video as soon as the last one ends. Thank you!

[@allanhester1391]

Wonderful, inspiring. Thank you both for bringing us along. Godspeed.

[@stevemellor7989]

I'm sure you two are sad to be leaving South Africa, but the journey ahead is filled with excitement. As always, looking forward to the next episode, and once again great videography!!

[@jilldavidson240]

The rolling waves made me feel like I was there. Loved the music especially the guitar. 😃

[@imscanon]

I admire what Markus is doing. I've watched some of his journey. I thought he was planning to go over rather than under Africa. This guy is really roughing it. Heck of an achievement. Glad he's still trekking. Save travels!

[@Routesofchange]

Cheers!

[@ditchdigger2]

You two are such pure hearts! I’m inspired to gracefully dig enough earth and return to sailing the open blue like you. Wish you both the best always.

[@DD-xx8wh]

bon voyage! another well done video and story telling! as always here's to Florence she takes such good care of you two...stand on!!!

[@lynno.5249]

Thinking, thinking, thinking... hummmm. Thank you... inspired..life is soooo short not to see, travel this beautiful earth...blessings.👣👣👣

[@wesleyduke4546]

Good luck for your crossing. I admire your bravery and envy your opportunity and decision to do what you do. Well done both of you

[@larswetterstrom7209]

I remember this friend of yours from his You-Tube videos from sailing across the pacific on a real cheap boat and then bicycling in the heat along the Mekong river in Lao. I am happy to see him again with you. Good luck! I hope you can mangae the tailwinds better than S/Y Delos who had sleep problems because of the sideways rocking of the boat in the monsoon. But Delos had a couple of nice land visits up the south dry Africa coast.

[@hjo1916]

Thank you very much.

[@webheadusa9377]

51 seconds into this episode and my sense is that you two are pro cinematographers who happen to sail. Your opening choice of music has made this sail quite dramatic! Yeah, nicely played! :) Can't wait to see the remaining 18:40, so away we go :¬) Webhead USA

[@anitatroyer2066]

Ohhh i agree!

[@sails3538]

The opening music is perfect.

[@maartentukker2637]

Hi there, i've been watching your episodes recently, I love the way you share your adventures. I wish you a very nice journey and good luck!

[@nigelmorgan3449]

What a picture to sail with the mountains in the back ground it’s a cracking video

[@capt.redbeard8361]

Your videos are so beautiful! The music, and the film... fantastic. I'm very glad my country was good to you - you deserve it. Happy sailing!

[@patrickoconnor661]

Marcus has an amazing channel called routes of change. Everyone should wanna watch channel.

[@kkay1341]

Love you guys!

[@geoffmaritz3147]

Well Florence, I'm going to miss you. so happy you enjoyed Cape Town, my home town.

[@LITTLEDANCERSADHU993]

As a sailor and video photographer myself, you,re content, the way you film and edit along with great audio,be it narrative or music or both is absolutely bang on!

[@jankykerle9256]

I love these videos!

[@richardsimpson2599]

Stunning work as usual, you really are second to none !

[@mattw785]

It's great you're so in tune with the other.. great channel

[@airbear9445]

Work hard and sacrifice to achieve it" can be in many forms of humanities endeavours.

[@leahrliporada5818]

Take care and God bless watching from Manila Philippines 🇵🇭

[@peterostrom6271]

I really enjoy your videoblog. Thank you. Keep safe and sane. Peter, Helsinki, Finland

[@terancecamille1483]

Good luck Florence

[@jamesadams1064]

Yay, welcome back. Always look forward to your episodes.

[@hughburgess4168]

Gosh…..is it really 3 months since you arrived in South Africa? You both look different, Matt with his Spanish looking beard and Amy with a rusty voice! Scenery, swells, look fantastic. Every episode compels me to follow in your wake!

[@bbraonain]

⛵Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.⛵

[@yvonnekneeshaw2784]

Trust u catch more dinner on your travels … great to see u on board refreshed.

[@Jmmondeau]

Great to see your still at it. I am also, currently in the sea of Cortez. The only change is the boat (number 3).

[@thatflightsimguy]

This had me in tears guys. Incredible video. I have a goal to sail oceans. You are likely the people to inspire me to do so.

[@thomasconroy4684]

Some amazing shots, really enjoyed the video.

[@cathytodd3996]

Beautiful scenery and fascinating insight into the motivations of ocean sailors. Thank you!

[@moderntraditional3172]

Thanks.

[@alanbrookes6637]

Not in hurry to get back to UK then, thought you might sail via Azores rather than Caribbean ….enjoy!

[@Patty-kf4rv]

Another Great vlog very well put together and love them 👍

[@noreenperryman725]

Lovely to see our beautiful Cape from your perspective. Safe travels across the Atlantic. Noreen and Chris Durban.

[@leestephens1]

Continuing to enjoy your journey!

[@robertgough508]

Love yourVoice

[@theubiquitusgastronaut8273]

The inspiration you two give out is truly remarkable. 🙌

[@micheldawes1]

Hey guys! Another stellar episode and I (As always!) immensely enjoyed the actual sailing footage! Amy sounded very crook for the first part of this episode and I wish her a speedy recovery ASAP! I’m sure I’m not alone in struggling to cope with the wait for the next few episodes showing the South Atlantic crossing! 👍👍🤞🤞😁😁😉😉 Take care and enjoy the journeys, as well as the destinations! Cheers, Mike, from Sydney Australia👍🇦🇺😁

[@winstongray9818]

It's great to see ya'll sailing again, those waves are crazy but you guy's make it look so easy, the people you meet are so fantastic to hear their stories make you just want to keep going, achieve your goals, dreams a so rewarding, especially those who follow ya'll are hitching to just live their dreams like you to keep rocking, having fun, be safe lu guy's ❤🤙
