Unfinished Business with a Reef... Returning to where it all went wrong!... Ep 186

[@paratyshow]

Congrats on 100k!!!!!!!! You two deserve it, keep up the great videos and stories.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Thanks!

[@curtjankowski3305]

More than returning to face your fears, clearly the fact that you returned the equipment to those young men probably restored their faith in humanity. As well as giving them the relief of knowing you are well. Good karma ❤️🤙

[@ralphjansen9205]

When this whole thing went down. You said that none of the Yachties came out to help you. DONT let that change who you are. You would have gone out to help someone in your situation. Keep being who you are that's why we love you guys.

[@jacksbackable]

What a great Bloke, people prepared to help others they’ve never met before are very rare! I’d love to buy them a Few Beers🍻 I’ve done it plenty of times in my local waters, it’s a thankless task! 😎🏖🌴☀️🇦🇺

[@charonstyxferryman]

quote: "help others they’ve never met before are very rare" Maybe on land, but fellow sailors help each other, because: It could be me.

[@CaptMarkSVAlcina]

You guys put a smile on my face when you went back to the reef to give back the equipment to the guys that help you.

[@leshodges4800]

That’s how genuine people take care of help received RESPECT stay safe and well 🍀

[@jacksbackable]

Les Hodges very well said Sir! 👏😎🏖🌴☀️🇦🇺

[@mitchpender8113]

What a lovely bloke ! He was just as pumped as you two!

[@mikeraymond9088]

Good job facing the reef again and thanking those who saved your boat.

[@tarivard]

I sailed there with my buddy Tristan (from Perth) on his Bruce Roberts 44. We anchored offshore on a sandy bottom and took the dinghy into this awesome resort. It was at high tide. We were amazed how much the tide lowered and we quickly went back out to the boat to move it further out into deeper water. I’m always amazed by how much the tides can change the water level there. Good on ya on facing your fears and going back to see your rescue helpers.

[@joem3556]

The surprised look on the Thai man when you returned was priceless. The genuine exchange of love and care and gratitude.... returning was a gift to the ppl who helped you. I could have watched hours of this... thank you for sharing. Best wishes from Canada!

[@SVImpavidus]

Nice touch going back to thank the guys. Trust the Manson Supreme best anchor ever! Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

[@mvcharisma]

You guys are awesome, this will definitely be a memory that you’ll never forget. I know I wouldn’t have the guts to stay the night at the same anchorage

[@dave.willard]

If everyone faced life as you guys the world would be an even better place. Good on you two!

[@bobswezey7452]

good to see you back on the water nice you returned those items your good people …

[@HeidiandFranny]

Awww,... That was so sweet! The look on the lad's faces. So cool that you went back. Speaks volumes. Safe Travels!

[@BoatingJourney]

You guys are truly an inspiration - the sea is nothing to mess around with and you have overcome so much! Thanks for another great video!

[@000001willy]

It's always good to get on the horse that bucked you. Well done Yosh and Bonita. Onward and upward.

[@creativecutter]

I had no doubt about you two... it does my heart good to see someone do the right thing and thank those who helped them in a time of turmoil. May your future be filled with good fortune! Fair winds and following seas Nandji! All the best to you both!

[@fredthornes5087]

Kudos for tipping your hat to the guys that helped with the recovery and congratulations on a well deserved 100k subs! 🍻

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Cheers!!

[@danw1030]

Good on you for going back and making closure on the horrible event. Also good on you for seeking out the men who helped and showing your appreciation for their help. Safe travels!

[@kevincarey1076]

Well done facing your fear of "THAT" reef Yosh & Bonita !! Great to see the sails up again! Fair winds and following seas Nandji!

[@frankandrews58]

How uplifting is this vlog. So much crap in the world and this should have been on the National News in Aus. Well done for taking the time to do it and must be a great feeling to return the gear. Love you guys.

[@richardcomeau57]

Way to face the fears! Fair winds friends.

[@dalenelewis9110]

I’m glad to see you guys got the boat fixed .

[@Jbeliski]

Still amazed at what you and Nandji went through and to come roaring back strong as ever is very inspiring.

[@offtherichter7]

You guys are amazing. Stoked you put her back together and went back to say thanks. You two truly are legends :)

[@lydiaajohnson]

Aside from returning to the dreaded scene to return equipment, I am so proud of you for making that journey.

[@chrisdunn5924]

Respect, going back to thank the lads ,thats why you are one of my regular watches 👍👍👍

[@Rspri10104]

What a great reunion. It's nice to know they were thinking about you and were wondering if you made it safely.

[@jamarie1972]

Going back to the reef and checking your anchor is something you always do now I expect you’ll always check a mooring buoy. Once bitten and all that. Nice to see the people who lent bilge pump / anchor to you and return it Still keep safe you pair of crazy Aussies, can’t wait till I get that ping and its a Nandji video. Cheers from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@MagivaIT]

i like your story telling, it has a raw realism to it, it makes me skip now and again but only because i want to keep dry eyes (sometimes).

[@atschris]

Think we felt as nervous as you! Great to see the guys who helped you out again, good karma. That’s that done, move on and put it behind you.

[@oreospeedwaggindoesamerica6078]

Man I love Thailand and love seeing you go back to thank them and bring their gear! Made my day!!

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

These are the good stories and great to see people returning items that others have graciously lent. Stay safe.

[@sonnybrooks264]

I agree on the way y’all showed so much appreciation to the folks that helped you.

[@parkerfilms1]

Nicely done! Good to go and face the fears straightaway. Now, on to better, and much happier, things!

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

We are all for happier and fun times!

[@annewinning9723]

Always keeping real you two - absolute legends!

[@ctccsi]

Great to see you back on the water.

[@jasonlockhart4647]

Scrolling through KZbin and what do I see sailing nandji. My day just got better congratulations on the 100k guys!

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Thanks legend, if your scrolling though, sounds like you need to hit that bell and subscribe!!!!! Cheers mate

[@extremelydave]

So good to see you safely on your way to who knows what............ it will be interesting to see how far you get before you're "grounded" for the "situation" timeframe.... hope you got lots of provisions and fuel to tide you thru....

[@davidc6510]

So awesome how you went back to returned borrowed goods and pay respects to the Thai lads that helped you save Nandji. It was clear the one lad you talked to most was pretty emotional to see that you not only survived but came by for a personal hello. Good on you both mates. Well done! Great epilogue to "The Scenario".

[@gasguzzler69]

you two are legends. faced the fear and over come it , return the gear and see the guys that helped. that was a awesome emotional moment caught on camera. don't know what else to say, just that's tops / gold m8's cheers davo

[@brewmagoo589]

I completely agree, Yosh and Bonita (and Marley) are the true legends they often profess others to be. Returning to the accident site to thank their helpers and show that both the boat and passengers made it back to port safely was a small act of kindness that clearly had a big positive effect on the guys. It also is good that Yosh and Bonita were able to revisit the site, take the accident as lesson learned and close that chapter of their journey.

[@srqlisa7881]

I can't believe you anchored right by the reef how nerve wracking for you, I would have booked out fast too. I see you hit 100k subscribers congratulations. Be safe guys and take care. : ) peace

[@IsThisAvailable550]

Facing your fears *head on.* That's the way to do it. I did 'well up' a little when you met with the guys to return the gear they loaned. Well done for your brave actions. It's a chapter you can move on from now, with no regrets.

[@patrickarchibald6787]

You guys are awesome. You have such courage and resilience, I have a lot of respect for you both. Maybe one day we'll see you here in Broome! Sail well!

[@larrymacaluso9051]

Back again, terrific job, well done with commitment and determination not to be defeated, congratulations to you both, What a heart lifting moment when you took the time to return and thank the folks who worked so hard helping you during your time of need. Fair winds and safe travels.

[@trongod2000]

Good on ya mate. good to face your fears and now you can move on.

[@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643]

You two are rock stars. Returning the gear was a must, but geez I don't know if I could have stayed the night there. I'm sure that was tough mentally.

[@TheBubbajuju]

Just a great episode. Godspeed you two.

[@EdmundRobinson]

So very happy for all of you. I mean, I couldn't imagine a world where Marley could not run free on deserted island beach with the husk of a mauled coconut in his maws. Keep sailing.

[@joelenepreising7436]

Yea Nadji's back and the adventure can continue, good-luck and fair winds, love ya

[@patrolrider]

You guys are the best great attitude thanks for the ride along safe travels from Missouri USA

[@toddms41]

It could’ve been anywhere, but it’s always good getting over your fear. Cheers guys!!!

[@bubbagail7450]

I don't know if you would call that bravery or just crazy what ever it was good on ya. Fair wind and following seas guys, you damn sure deserve it.

[@aaron230185]

What a ball ache this whole thing has been for you. You did so well to get the boat back to safety and fix everything in that time. Well done and I hope you are doing ok with the current COVID ball ache😕

[@jessedax7333]

Great! Fantastic to see you on the water again. Good on you to go back to the scene and thank the good people that helped you. Awesome! Now stay safe an GO! ❤

[@1datsunlover]

You two have amazing attitudes. Back to face your fears, bravo!

[@digbybaxter1550]

Very well done you two respect.Safe sailing.

[@gilcore5245]

i am crying. Yup no allergies or onions. Love you guys!

[@andrewthompson2380]

Well done to go back and revisit your nightmare reef👍

[@duncan.5228]

Great to see you go back and thank the lads. They were so happy to see you, shows what kind of folk you are, scary as it was.

[@micheldawes1]

@2:11; Yeah, just pick up the same mooring as last time. Just take the dinghy in to the beach, collect the mooring float, take it back out to Nandji, attach it to the Samson post and go down below for a snooze. Job done! ;-) Seriously though guys, well done in deciding to face your demons and a great way to bring closure to a very regrettable chapter in your cruising lives! :-)

[@jimself8214]

As true "Legends", you have shown us how it's done: Make all necessary repairs, return to the scene of the incident to face your fears, and thank those who graciously helped you. YOU DID IT! Just a side note: Does that bathing suit actually glow in the dark? Cheers, Mates!

[@youngypaul]

It's amazing the amount of work you achieved in such a short time at the boatyard. Legends!!

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

I think we are too stubborn to let set backs like this to affect our goals. A little bit of hard work never hurt anyone. Cheers

[@jeffslaven]

So good to see you thanking the emergency heros. I got a bit teary on it.

[@rocket262626]

That was the right thing to do! Hopefully those young men will continue to help those in need. You are legends! Luvya! 😊

[@shelaghegar6083]

This video made me so happy. You two are the best!

[@SoulTonicLife]

So great to see you fixed hull and your hearts. ♥️ Fair winds and following seas👍

[@glennhertel1165]

Hey Glad to see you back

[@2Moza]

Good to see you went back to the Reef and stay the night , And loved what you said about being aware of Other Country's Rules and Regulations fair winds and sailing stay safe lol from Thailand Sawadee Krap

[@sonoman00ify]

You guys rock. This is the best, by a long shot, sailing channel on the web ! Thank you for the hours of enjoyment and sharing these videos. I can't wait until you have the 1 million subscribers you deserve. I always look forward to your next videos. I'd also like to thank you for not being a political sailing channel. I wouldn't watch if it was. Thanks for everything and I hope you do it forever or at least until you feel like doing something else. Peace guys..froth coming soon, it is well deserved.

[@adrianwightman9518]

Awesome content guys you guys an sailing into freedom the best Aussies KZbin channels absolutely awesome keep up the vlogs stay safe you 2 much love from Australia

[@rumblechick73]

Brave confrontation of your fears, good for you!

[@meyburgh]

Beautiful edit, thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@martinc9867]

therapeutic achoring !Great job,great captain,great team !Enjoy the reef from far ; )

[@BrassLock]

I was nervous about your "unfinished business with the reef" announced last episode. I thought you'd demolish a few square meters with a hammer 😬. But you applied _psychological de-sensitising techniques_ like a good therapist would have suggested on the comfort of their couch. However you went one step further and did it _"in situ"_ and that takes a lot if courage for you both to do that. Amazing episode folks - you're both *legends!*

[@klouism1]

Good for you, you went back you saw the Beast and in your hearts you conquered it. Plus you saw old friends. Now you're sailing on do great things and great adventures. Thank you for the video.⛵

[@robertnixon3816]

Such a really good video! It was hard but facing your fears head on like that gets the bad event behind you and builds confidence in what you do. Good on you! Also kudos to your seeing and saying thank you to the guys who helped you. It says volumes about who you are! Sail on Nandji! Its getting closer to Indonesia and beyond!👍💕💕🤗⛵🌏

[@sausage5849]

Aww wow, what an uplifting turn of events!

[@ayayron7776]

Was here first July 5 on my favorite KZbin channel!!!

[@HARDHAT223]

I got a little choked up there.

[@rik8809]

I’m glad you returned the equipment you borrowed, as it was the right thing to do. The whole “facing your fears” thing seems a bit overly dramatic though. If your car got into an accident, would you return to where it happened right away to face your fears? I suspect most would not. In any case, safe travels!

[@chroniclesofashlee951]

What a wonderful way to end that experience, it sure is a beautiful place.. and congrats on 100k 🥳🥳🥳

[@bertski60]

damn.,,,i thought you were going to dynamite the reef. i kid...i kid. : ) great people those thais. that's why i love living here. glad it all worked out and it's time for moving on. you're better for it. thnx for another dandy bit of entertainment.

[@TheBeatlemanic]

What wonderful way to end this particular adventure. You two are the best and God Bless you on your journey. March 2020 has been hard on everyone, but not to match yours, we know it was rough. Cool that you got to get rid of the fears and got to say thank you to those how had helped. had to be a great feeling. Still trying to catch up on previous ep's from a year ago. My parts finally arrived a 3 weeks ago and have been very busy, but, have not forgotten. Take Care and will be watching.

[@realwheelman]

So great coming back. Very courageous!

[@eightpoint]

congrats on the return well done

[@smithysmithy1]

Goin back just to show that Nandji froths again!

[@cliffbenford]

walking back into the fire eh? Freakin' awesome, admirable and brave! great going and thanks for another great vid x

[@daled8221]

Soo glad you guys are through with that chapter & repaired safely !!! Full speed ahead !

[@lodragan]

Happy to finally see the end of this trial and tribulation. As they say, there are only two types of sailors: those who have run around, and those who are going to run aground.

[@scottswineford6714]

You two are class acts! Just really good folks. God bless 🙏

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Great video guys,thanks,made my day to see you heading off safe .Sail on.Ross

[@johnchristie6195]

Interesting story and enjoyable video. Yachties please note vhf channel 16 is not for conversation ,after contact you must both switch to another channel ,preferably channel 6 or 8.. channel 16 is the emergency watch channel for vhf radios .

[@paulberry811]

Top effort and nice to say thank you and meet your fears

[@angelsspirit335]

i am so proud of both of you from USA! God bless on lifes journey!

[@neaptidevlog3732]
