[@GeneRossano]

How wonnderful. Being invited in for a beer. and, being shown a good anchoring spot. You won the lottery.

[@alr2656]

Three cheers for Marco!

[@jameswesthart5873]

There you go, man Keep as cool as you can Face piles of trials with smiles It riles them to believe That you perceive The web they weave... And keep on thinking free

[@KandiSueTheBlue]

You are a wonderful young couple. Your videos are amazing, great storytelling, drone shots and photography.🌬⛵⚓😎🇦🇺🦘

[@Dreamtimesail]

What a great spot to have discovered.

[@Godzilla9]

Hats off guys, you are a fabulous couple !

[@sal_e._mander5151]

KZbin needs a Heart button, a like button isn't quite enough to show my love for your videos!

[@chantallabelle6573]

Gorgeous! Your videos are always a pure pleasure to watch. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

[@andrewmullen4003]

Glad you guys are ok, and have a safe haven, a lot less stress than last week, take care

[@Oceans_Sail]

Brilliant...i have watched every single video and i must say that they have become professional standard - amazing! Thank you so much for making the (considerable) effort to produce these and share your incredible experiences.

[@earthangel8730]

Perfect music accompanying a fabulous video of some exhilarating sailing in Paradise (with a beer)! 😍 A beautiful escape.

[@sa1laway]

Amy, that is the best use of a Master Card on a Master Craft. ;-)

[@stevelambert7496]

Yeah it's a Florence Friday

[@stevelambert7496]

You pretty much know any episode starting off with a creature from the jungle is going to be a good one. Just glad this one didn't have Matt searching for the Sumatran tiger 😬

[@immostlyharmless]

Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks, as always, for taking us along!

[@IrishLegend64]

Cleaning Florence looked satisfying hahah

[@MrRourk]

Marco is a Legend! Now that guy is a great host and friend to have.

[@MrCrabbing]

Great to see you getting some R&R after the stress of the last episode

[@Maman-Setrum]

15:04, that "kantung semar" plant or Genus Nepenthes, Tropical pitcher plant in english

[@mrpmessina]

Oh my goodness! What breathtaking place. The views are to die for. Better than here in the cold miserable lockdown Uk. ;-) Thank you so much for bringing the sun and your journey to us. Very much appreciated the amount of work you put into these videos. Well done. 👍👍👍

[@anasrulbks270]

Bengkalis island of riau was present . Share your track is in rounding Indonesian Arcipelego especially Sumatra. Good bless you both.

[@gavsintasmaina]

That boat work never ends !

[@makan7]

Outstanding videos, greetings from East java

[@averysullivan1348]

Nice cliffhanger!!!!!! Great to see you guys being able to move about.

[@Johnnysunami]

Paradise 🌺

[@sailingmoonshadow3169]

You guys are getting so professional with your film making now. Some of those transitions were spectacular! That fast pan at the beginning was awesome! Amazing that you had all your rode out - how much was that? Great to see Amy actually doing some work for once instead of just lazing around looking gorgeous! Haha, just kidding - about the lazing around, not the looking gorgeous. I'll stop now before I dig myself in deeper! lol.

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

Thanks, We have 60m of 10mm chain and 20m of rope. That has been enough but only just in Indonesia. Before Indonesia we didn't bother with the 20m of rope on the end! Put down your spade...! ;-)

[@sailingmoonshadow3169]

@@SailingYachtFlorence actually, I was interested in the windlass arrangement on Florence. Is that standard on the OH37? Moon Shadow has a similar chain locker but I have a manual windlass mounted on the deck just aft of it. I want to get an electric windlass but I've been scratching my head about where to mount it.

[@jan-willemwolters7191]

From the freezing cold in the Netherlands, thanks again for sharing. Cinema already has found the means to add physical elements to the experience.... We will just have to wait until heat and sweat comes with KZbin 😉😓. But even be without, your story does bring back warm (and hot) memories! Can't wait for the next video. I really appreciate all the effort you put in.

[@georgemoore7196]

This has been a fantastic in depth look at western Sumatra. Fantastic!

[@luckyfire878]

Beautiful Video , like this Island Exploring and Sailing Videos , its a Dream Life , enjoy it

[@Ron-zr6se]

Seeing this area of Indonesia, I have set plans to sail there once things are opened up so that I can do so. Thank you for another wonderful video.

[@earlashton1342]

The fly trap you mention is a member of the Orchid family. Called a Slipper Orchid & does in fact catch flies.

[@man-with-handle]

Another cracking video - always worth waiting for!

[@DeanColegate]

Thoroughly enjoyable episode guys. A very nice fillip for a cold a dark winters evening!

[@beazleteats4031]

4:40: Having lived in SE Asia for many years, the lights are mainly used to attract squid...not "fish into their nets". To quote Nat Geo: "The offshore illumination comes from fishing , which use enormous arrays of bright LED lights to attract the plankton to the surface. The squid follow their prey toward the surface, where they are easier for fishermen to catch with jigging lines."

[@MarcAubry]

Those boats attract small fusilier fish named localy ikan tri (anchovi like) the same kind of boat is used further up north in thailand to attract squids.

[@stephaniewaite6833]

Oh ! Yes I know your British and I do enjoy your clips of your travels.

[@rogervanstone6375]

Great video. Thank you for sharing

[@ekovalentino3549]

Thank you for coming to Padang, I hope you enjoy this please 🙏

[@micheldawes1]

Wow! Can’t believe that episode went so quickly! Wonderful scenery guys and think of all the toxins you’re sweating out of your system when you do those hikes! 😉

[@IrishLegend64]

Great music great shots absolutely LOVED this video! Very relaxing to watch by the window as it’s snowing here in Ireland!

[@Early8Q]

Great video! Thank you! And kisses for Florence, I know that feeling, thanks for the reminder!

[@johnswan6759]

Good on ya Marco. Looking after our favorite sailing couple. I also watch Adventures of an old seadog. I love both of your channels. Great that you both released a vid the same day. Im here in dreary Dublin lockdown. Your videos are sunshine. Oh... and how often do you hear your girlfriend say " Did you bring the machetti?😃 Stay safe guys

[@jeremymlane]

Nice drone shot through the trees at the beginning! That one must have been fun!

[@alr2656]

That place is beautiful!

[@pkdog5236]

The plant looks like Nepenthis ( monkey cup). Back home monkey cup is a favorite exotic houseplant

[@indrapurnama2377]

I'm indonesian and sorry for such bureaucracy 😭,hope soon, you all coming back to my country 🙏

[@jwph610]

Glad you had beers to enjoy after that hot mountain trail! Lovely views and good work on her bottom! (Florence’s)

[@chinoodin4735]

Perfect! It’s fun just tagging along. Thanks for sharing the wonders of the moment. 🥂

[@fransdriesen1311]

Outstanding video, a nice balance between sailing, maintenance and exploring...you seem to master these video narrations...keep up the good work..

[@nigelmorgan3449]

Another cracking video. Thank you

[@mosstd]

happy friday florence

[@stephenburnage7687]

We are about two years behind you (now in southern Mexico). If you go slow enough we might catch you up! We watch all your videos as a passage planning guide. You guys are impressive cruisers!

[@fgansell]

Great episode. Love footage when sailing along.thank you

[@erichyney6287]

I disagree. What a beautiful view. Who cares about the humidity. It's not about the destination. It's about the journey 😌....

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

I really enjoy your videos! Humm what teaser for the next video! 😁🛫

[@guledhirsi4279]

Halo favorite couple

[@dakardad1]

You guys are awesome. I love your vids.

[@scr5051]

Buenos vídeos guys great greetings

[@TheAncientMarinersBlog]

Loving it!

[@Muratshayev]

As always interesting and informative ) Thanks!

[@6r4metroman]

Great panning shot of you rowing :-)

[@mikehortin9964]

What did you use to wash off the rush stains? What ever it was it did a great job. 👍👍

[@richardsimpson2599]

Love this channel !

[@km33adv]

WOW!!!

[@MrSarumaha]

Bagus 👍

[@kevinmacdonald9849]

Are you happy with your Rolly Tasker sails?

[@clark7662]

I’m enjoying watching this while enduring -0 F temperatures here. Lol. That’s -20 C. Sounds even worse that way though. Ha!

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

Wow, it was +40C here yesterday! We're not sure we could cope with your temperatures after spending 5 years without a winter.

[@jargero8203]

Same...KansasCity

[@simonwilson9610]

Excellent. You must have increased your video resolution or got some new gear. The video's are stunning. Well done.

[@briglnai]

beautiful episode... keep it up!

[@nealeburgess6756]

I have just found you. Great video. Of course, now I have subscribed. Amy, when you talk you remind me very much of my friend, whose accent is from the Leicester area. Is that close to where you come from? I look forward to joining you for the rest of your journey. Best wishes to you.

[@susiesmithe2475]

First of all love your videos! I do have one request/suggestion. Please don't spin your maps (see 1:54 mark). It is very disconcerting and hard to follow. Otherwise, your vids are great! Fair Winds and Following Seas!

[@micheldawes1]

@10:30; Hey guys! Just watching Amy kiss the transom highlights how fantastic the topsides are! How long is it since they were painted (And what sort of paint did you use?) Also, please investigate Silicone antifoul! I have some first hand recommendations from cruising yachties who swear by it! (Initially very expensive, but very low maintenance and incredible durability! UP TO 4 years between applications is not unusualness!!!)

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

Hi Michel, Florence is still the original gelcoat from 1985 when she was built! For our next antifoul it will be what ever we can get in either La Reunion or The Seychelles, as one of those places will be the next stop for us where we can haul out and we desperately need antifouling!

[@CorM1]

I could have told you that the bureaucratie in these country's are terrible. Certainly during these corona epedemic! And Matt looks like very stressed. I can feel with you pal;) But you two have time and thats a privilege!

[@tetraskele9621]

Thanks for all your inspiring videos. Not merely commercial "youtube sailing show" clones, we'll send you a little donation. We're all struggling here in the US. Sadly, when the US goes down we ALL goes down (and this is coming). Perhaps having spent SO much time living out there on little, you will be more prepared to live disconnected. I guess we'll all find that out. We're preparing to leave on our own trans-Pacific cruise, and our boat is being readied. We are learning for ourself the WORK side of Cruising. Perhaps we'll run into you two someday? We're the Arcanum, a Caliber 40 LRC. You two are an inspiration. Keep it up! (Cathy and Dorian)

[@Tyler-sv4sw]

Visas 3 months? Then you gotta get new ones? How you do that sailing?

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

We have to be at immigration for one week per month at the moment, difficult to explore far away and come back. In May we plan to leave and cross the Indian Ocean.

[@jjaus]

I think that plant is a pitcher plant. They eat insects, frogs and even small rodents.

[@searscr1]

4:00 you look a little red, too much sun?

[@fguerraz]

I didn't know I could use my trusted Halifax Mastercard CC to clean my hull. Noted.

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

Either you work in this ATM or I use you to scrub the hull.... as we are in Indonesia probably more time spent scrubbing than actually working in an ATM!

[@bradsmgads1302]

theres got to be a way to engineer an outward force converted down and in, and mums the word - boat algae squeegie

[@billygrahamyachtsinc753]

Why didn't we meet Marco and Dominique, give a plug to their resort? That seemed rude of you two.

[@donanderson2264]

You chimed off the name of the resort and the owners too fast. Can you spell it out here? I will be making my way that direction.

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

Cubadak Paradiso Village, the link is in the video description :)

[@itemgamers7762]

Now what is ur age?

[@franciscogil6798]

There are tigers over there

[@patrickneff7846]

What is "this"?!?!

[@Flavius-Tech]

Man, no improvement in your girl's skills to cut your hair :)

[@roybeattie296]

Do crocodiles swim inn Salt water ?
