As a deep sea fisherman in Hawaii as we go interisland often, I have only one suggestion to add to your safety equipment. I Always have a vertex standard vhf Pilot Transceiver. To be able to communicate with a plane flying over within line of sight is always an extremely comforting. FCC laws allow anyone with capability to communicate on any frequency when life and limb are at risk. The "Guard Channel" being 121.5am can be a life saver. All commercial aircraft are required to keep a separate vfo tunned to that frequency in all times.

@Cycle9568 3 ай бұрын

The radios have a switch position for both what your primary frequency is and guard. The standard position is both so that we can always monitor.

@matthewgriffin8442 3 ай бұрын

Marine Vhf radios do not have the ability to tranceive on AM. It requires a separate radio to do so unless you have a multiband radio. I imagine more sailors have them these days.

Your BEST effort ever! When my wiffe, son, and I visited the Marquesas for the 1st time in 1980, the native culture was less effected by the outside world and communications were very limited, but they were the same wonderful, generous people. They always wanted to share their way of life with strangers. You guys are fantastic, but your kids always steal the show!! Great video!!!

The kids are having fun, learning things that those land lubbers do not get to see or experience. Keep up the education of your kids this way will give them a healthy lifestyle once they are old enough. I should say not only the kids learning but you 2 and all your followers as well.

Hi guys. I have been watching your channel since 2017 or 2018. You are among those that inspired me to get a boat and set sail. I have been live aboard cruising for almost 2 years now in the Caribbean. I hope one day to circumnavigate. I have loved your channel because of content like this video. You both, like myself, love to really immerse yourselves in the places you visit. You truly love to meet and learn from local cultures, take in the beauty of the natural environment, and in my opinion it really comes through in your videos. It is so refreshing to be reminded of all the beauty in this world outside of the hustle and bustle of “modern” life. Cheers and best wishes to you and your families.

I just stumbled on this video. The Marquesas are beautiful but the trip you are taking reminds me of the couple from the book "all in the same boat". A Toronto couple who sailed around the world many years ago in a custom 30ft junk rugged sloop with just like you 2 children. I still have the 2 books and reread from time to time. Having children with you also opens more doors to the local people. Have a continued great journey.
