I loved the moment the wee girl took Adams hand gives you a nice feeling that there is still some innocents in our world. Great video lads.👍😁

Your little guide was a cutey and tough too walking over that coral. It was nice of you to thank her with some tins of ham and tuna but you held back the cheese? Of course you did. 😂

She had really tough feet walking on those Coral rocks one tough cookie! We didn't mind the tins over but not the cheese 🧀, oh no

I have traveled to Fiji 6 times and my legs look similar upon each return home. I believe mine were from sand fly bites. You are correct about visiting a Doctor abroad..On our last visit my son needed Dengue Fever tests along with 3 IV bags, medication and antibiotics…overnight in the Emergency Room in Nadi all for $250 USD. I hope you both heal up quickly!

I heard that Olive oil works too. The sandflies get stuck on it and can't maneuver to deposit their eggs which causes the rashes.

[@dracey1778]

Thanks! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a waterfall filmed just that way.

Thanks Dracey. Really glad you like the episode and thank you for your contribution to the cheese. Yeah thought I would do something different with the waterfall just stick the camera under

Hi lads we did that walk to the waterfall and through the bush.

We Were guided by one of the woman from the village. I forget the name Of the plant which is unfortunate. A very beautiful.

The scurvy suggestion would be less likely because two cases have arisen at almost the same time which would be unlikely with scurvy. I'm no doctor though.

[@EdwardSeatonSailings]

if I had to guess, I'd say ya'll got chiggers. It seems to pop up when you've been on a massive hike in the bush. A chigger, is a tiny bug that burrows under your skin. Some folks don't get them, or rather, some folks aren't affected by them, just like some folks aren't affected by poison ivy or poison oak. Again, the reason I think its chiggers is cause it always happens when you've been smashing around the bush. Next time ya'll go for a hike, use a decent bug spray repellent on your legs. Might work. Great episode boys! You 2 are an inspiration.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

It turns out it was a staph infection. I have no idea where I got it from could have been somewhere in the bushes 😕. I suppose you can catch anything in tropical climates Edward

[@EdwardSeatonSailings]

@@TheSailingBrothers staph infection? that sounds like medical speak for, "we don't know wtf it is." I'm tellin ya, it looks exactly like chiggers. I've had them a hundred times, in every climate. Try bug spray next time you go for a hike.

Is there a way for us to see your tracks, currents etc? curious about why you choose to take particular routes and would pay for a subscription to see more in depth info. Love your channel way more than TV.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

There isn't really a way unless we had a website to put them on I guess 🤔

[@SVSeaChange]

By now you will be long gone and probably in Australia, but just in case not, you really should make a not-quite-legal stop in Chesterfield Reef inbetween Vanuatu and Australia. It is controlled by New Caledonia but the French there are well occupied with unrest so cannot be bothered by someone visiting the reef system. The anchorage is obvious and the birds are off the charts. That's what I did. Just don't stop in any Australian territory on the way across, they don't like that. I checked into Bundaberg, and if you arrive early you can anchor next to the marina, but be sure to email the ABF or they will be unhappy with you, as they were with me and subjected my boat to a 2-hour intensive search.

[@hanstinekevangorcum9718]

Every now and then you look like an bickering couple. Luckily, you always mange te patch up😊. We loved the episode. Glad you’re both keeping your legs.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

We do argue like a old couple sometimes 🤣🤣🤣

[@andypdq]

Do you do old school celestial navigation? If you don't, you should, it's not too difficult, and explaining it will give you a few extra videos. If all your electronics crap out , it's a life saver.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

It's something we could definitely learn Andy 😜

[@andypdq]

​@@TheSailingBrothers I'm self taught, I recommend a book, : Celestial navigation for yachtsmen, Mary Blewitt, and also KZbin channel, Practical Navigator, celestial navigation playlist. One of the most satisfying disciplines I've ever learned. No GPS, no problem.

[@philgray1023]

​@@andypdqI'd like to learn that. I have a good sextant but no horizon within an hours drive. We normally carry ten devices with built in GPS. We have two mounted GPS antenna and one spare. But you never know. However when I was doing my Coastal Skipper training the candidates all had to take compass bearings and manually plot a position on the chart. The range of positions was up to 5 miles different. Noteably the training was all done without access to electronic charts. Very worrying when you find yourselves about to run into a sea wall at night because of confusion about adding or subtracting variation.

[@andypdq]

@@philgray1023 You can practice on land, Google "Sextant artificial horizon" you can buy one or make one, I made one out of some plywood, two pieces of glass and an oven roasting tin, which is filled with viscous gear oil. If you use water it's prone to shimmering if there's any wind getting in. You have to divide your observed sextant angle by two to get the correct altitude. On land I can normally get within half a mile of my true position, the doubling of the observed angle makes it more accurate than you would get if you use a sea horizon. At sea I am normally within four miles, which is more than good enough to avoid hazards or make a safe landfall. All I'd say is you need to practice often to avoid making mistakes when applying corrections and doing the calculations, I don't mind because I'm a geek and actually enjoy doing it. Good luck!
