Was it worth 2 WEEKS AT SEA to get HERE? | Sailing Florence Ep.166

[@yvonnekneeshaw2784]

In the midst of news of ongoing wars … THIS footage allows a reprieve from the heartbreak to focus on some absolute beauty this world still has to offer. Thank YOU so much for taking time to create/edit for us to enjoy ❤️🇨🇦

Wow guys. Your videos could be a national geographic production it’s that good. You take me to places that I know I’ll never get to. I have traveled all over the world and seen things that are so beautiful words can’t describe. You know how to through your videos and for one, want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@Wapa1945]

Well done. Thanks for taking us along. I’ve always intended to retire to the Azores, now at 80, I don’t travel at all. From the south of the U.S. of North America.

[@harrysheffield624]

You two are just superb Ambassadors for the UK; you produce such excellent work, and portray the best the world has to offer, with a total absence of gripes or winge-ing. Respect !!

[@squirejinx]

Your polished narration, stunning videography, and masterful editing, the best of the sailing vlogs, have found a worthy subject in the Azores! Superb!

[@davidmontgomery1016]

I have been following you since the beginning and you quickly became one of my favorites. The content has been incredible with a good balance of sailing and touring. But I have to say, your skills with the camera have increased incredibly over the last 7 years. Saying these views are stunning is an understatement. Looking forward to the next adventure after the refit.

[@williamtownsend3279]

Amy, your editing and cinematography is absolutely incredible. Maybe the best I've ever seen. ❤

[@morecowbell20]

I came to leave a comment saying everything that everyone else seems to have already said, so all I'm left with is ... that was jaw droppingly perfect. Flores is pretty nice too!

[@EdToml]

Nice. You consistently have some of the most spectacular footage of any of the many sailing channels 🙂

[@AfricanFlightStar]

Absolutely stunning, every moment of it. I've watched a good number of videos about the Azores from other sailing channels, and although those were certainly good, none of them have done it as well as you have. You two never fail to impress me with the quality of your episodes, and they way you present the world to us all. Thank you so much for doing & being all of this, for us, your loyal viewers, we greatly appreciate it. 🙏🏻

[@gavinwhindus2932]

Beautiful work, your videos are the best viewing one can get. Just love your adventures!!

[@suzannechance5876]

Marvelous episode! Goosebumps for me. Love you guys. This is so beautiful!

[@soggybottom3463]

Just gorgeous, guys, bless you, thank you xx🤗🤗

[@ILoveSeaweeds]

Thanks so much for offering the views here of Mother Earth in her glory.

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Spectacular!!! I LOVE your videos. You two have improved so much over these past years. You really started to shine in Naminis but even before that the quality of your productions was getting so very good. I think that 2 week intervals between your vids gives you the extra time to really polish them. Thank you for taking us along.

[@carolbopp7736]

your videos and adventures are among the top and it confuses me as to why you don't have a million subscribers?? I have loved your documentation since the beginning of your journey. You are an amazing couple. Best wishes and safe sailing.

[@MrMichaelcurran]

FLORES: Your videos are so becoming making this Island a true point of interest. I can't help feeling that you are already home with family in England. If so God Bless You, if not soon, very soon!

[@stevelambert7496]

Very beautiful place you saved one of the best for nearly last on this lap. Excellent work as always Amy and Matt

[@stevemellor7989]

Breathtaking videography! I just love seeing the world through your lens.

[@imscanon]

All the waterfalls! Wow. That place was otherworldly beautiful.

[@shabbydoris]

What an epic travelogue! Thanks, Matt n Amy, great job!

[@lotusdolphin]

Oh my gosh, you guys the cinematography on this was incredible! I can’t believe there’s such a gorgeous place on earth. It was like a total paradise. Thank you so much for bringing us with you. I can’t tell you how much it made my heart soar! Sending love to you both along with Fairwinds at your backs 🤟🏻💜😎🐬⛵️🇺🇸 from LIZ in California

[@AngusJohnson-ei1kk]

A place I wouldn't mind living at ,thanks for sharing. Angus

[@patriciathorp4911]

Amy, I believe a girl cannot have enough clothes, but I'm wondering where/how you stored all your lovely outfits on Florence. On a more serious note, thanks for another lovely video. Whoever named Ireland 'The Emerald Isle' obviously never even saw pics of where you are. Hope you both are settling back into land life without too much difficulty...looking fwd to the homecoming episode. 🍀

[@twentyrothmans7308]

I'm delighted that you made it in there with the marina closed. It looks amazing.

[@donaldk21]

Happy you made it safely to the Azores.I believe after following your adventures around this upsetting World we live in, your trip has given your many viewers a respite from one reality to one all sailors especially appreciate because it gives you a peacefullness and view of another World. We, your audience,so appreciate your wonderful views, knowledge and cinamatography and love of all nature applaud you. FWCS Fair Winds Calm Seas,🇺🇲 ⛵

[@lesourire511]

Completely spectacular. That fast boat ride footage gleaned from the 360 camera. 😮 wow. And everything else in the video is such a juxtaposition of different beautiful styles. Truly inspiring. Congrats. And then the music adds to wow even more. 👌🏼

[@bdphourde]

Everything you do gets better and better exponentially! I'm sure you could make money from your boat, by teaching others to do what you do so well. It may improve other's videos which would be a blessing to the whole YT community! We really appreciate your talents and attitude!

[@howardwinrow62]

Hi. You guys are thé best videographers on KZbin; the content, the commentary, the quality of the footage. You've got it all. I know you are back in the UK now but congrats on doing so much more than sailing round the world. It has been an education and a pleasure to follow you. Thank you.

[@Thomas-eu6fj]

Mesmerizing ! I hate to call your videos "Vlogs" These are brilliant short films.

[@nanlog4303]

Amy is as pretty as the gorgeous scenery!

[@flymac]

Stunning views, great episode. Also great choice of music as always. Thanks!!!

[@tommyc9237]

Another phenomenal video. Your sailing skills coupled with your videography is truly remarkable.

[@anthonywalton4423]

thank you guys best sailing videos on youtube

[@paulstephens5229]

The quality of your videography is just beautiful with an equally superb musicality, thankyou.

[@ainord1]

Absolutely excellent video videography again. A joy to watch.

[@mikeriddell176]

As usual, the most fantastic photography. Over the years, you have really become mega professionals of fascinating film making. Thank you

[@SailingSteelSapphire]

What a beautiful love letter to Flores. Unforgettable!

[@garyevans5905]

You both have created THE best sailing channel. You have set a bench- mark , that others must follow to keep up. Fantastic episode. Thank you for sharing and taking us with you.

[@iainhunneybell]

The waterfalls and cliffs remind me of Iceland … only warmer 😊

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

Interesting, we are thinking about sailing to Iceland in the future!

[@tomst9417]

After watching this video I decided to add the Azores to my bucket list. You have visited so many exceptionally beautiful places in your circumnavigation, but for my money Flores' natural beauty is unmatched. Hope you've been relaxing and spending time with family and friends now that you are back in England.

[@rogerbayzand4455]

Thank you for taking us to the Azores, it is one of the places I would have loved to visit but is unlikely ever to happen now we live in Australia.

[@Sailing_Antrice]

Fantastic scenery beautifully captured. Your videography just gets better and better if that’s possible. It was great to be able to accompany Florence to Port Solent where I first met you both 8 years ago. Wishing you good luck with the refit.

[@annafraley5388]

What can We say that Others haven’t…🤷🏻‍♂️🤔 ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT…..1!!! 😎👍👏🥳✅

[@tomcraddock244]

Your videos are just incredible! Thank you both for bringing us along!! Fair winds ⛵️

[@andyjamesable]

Staggeringly professional as always .. beautiful filming, editing, dialogue and always such perfect music .. thanks so much guys .. as many contributors suggest this, and so many of your previous episodes, could easily stand up there with any national geographical production.

[@JayBee-cr8jm]

I only have time for two sailing channels and yours is my favorite.

[@ourv9603]

Was it Worth it? Years from now, when you guyz are both old & aged you will recollect these days you spent aboard Florence. You will come to realize there are 2 things a value cannot be placed upon. Memories & Experience. These days you will cherish. !

[@billthomas9036]

Thank you for taking me to Flores! Amazing place!

[@Dicky-the-Driver]

Superb creativity, scenery, narration and videography. Second to no one and fit for Nat Geo to put together in a long docuseries. I sure am anticipating your new adventures to come. Truly marvelous for the eyes and ears guys💕

[@Stuart.Mckenzie]

By far the most professional and fascinating travel video I’ve had the pleasure of viewing for many years. Right up there with Michael Palin’s series IMHO. Well done Matt and Amy.

[@westpacificmarketanalytics2384]

Congrats on making it home safely!

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

An assault on the senses, indeed! The flora and fauna, waterfalls, caldera, black beaches, high cliffs and friendly cows would make this a hard island to leave. Thank you for sharing all that mother nature offers on Flores.

[@hansh8071]

Thank you for sharing, sitting at home, not going anywhere, you two make my day with these places i will never see in person. Grtz from Holland

[@larssolem2507]

Love to see Flores again, was there in April of 2019 and we had really stormy weather, with cludy and two overcast days before heading for Lymington. It was amazing to see the huge breakwater that used to take the supplyships in rubbles! Can't believe the forces that it must have taken to destroy that! As always I commend your great footage, which means I know have seen more of where we where on Flores. Looking forward to the journey onwards.

[@john5726]

OMG What an amazing production, the composition of music and stunning scenery your so talented both, world class 👏well done.

[@jakobusphsteyn3500]

Also one of my more favorite islands. Have been there in the early 2000's and still cherries the memories. The bacalao was supreme.

[@doekle-janhaisma3508]

stunning cinematography amazing work and what a beautiful place!!

[@roadboat9216]

One word for the drone work………….STUNNING! Very nice video. I have sailed to many places. But not here.

[@MarkConnolly]

Camerawork, production values and editing is stunning. THE best sailing vlog at the moment. Have you considered putting some short insta 360 clips up on KZbin VR. They would blow people away!!

[@ianhogarth4214]

Great stuff some of the best scenes in a wonderfull journey you have had. Sad to know you are close to finishing this part of your adventures but look forward to your future plans after you have rested

[@richardbell5792]

Extraordinary videography and editing. I've been following "the big few" sailing channels pretty much from the start of the genre, and subscribed to your channel quite a few years ago now. Your work has gone from good to top-notch excellent and could teach the big guys a thing or two. And you're two of the best sailors out there to boot. Respect.

[@JohnResalb]

Every island you've visited seems to have been very different in their own ways. Perhaps you might like to make a list one day, or an edited video edition depicting "Matt & Amy's top 10 favourite islands".

[@hughprice2310]

A really nice vlog. The brown birds are Cory’s Shearwaters. This Autumn has seen unprecedented numbers off Cornwall and The Isles of Scilly, South West England. The birds are attracted to the large number of fish shoals. Very keen birdwatchers visit Corvo every Autumn as being so far West, it attracts North American birds blown across The Atlantic, by low pressure systems / hurricanes.

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

The Cory's Shearwaters make and absolute racket at sunset, it almost sounds like they are rapping!

[@chrismalkin4070]

Always the very, very best sailing channel. Stunning in every way.

[@sausage5849]

Your guys are great videographers! I agree with the Nat Geo comments below. Just epic!

[@patsymartin3634]

AMAZING! THIS Planet is AMAZING! Thank you for taking us with you.

[@alwaysworking2789]

Fantastic. What a beautiful island, brilliant filming really set it it all off .

[@macktruckergirl6049]

WOW! I just happened upon your channel about three videos ago and I am MESMERIZED! This place is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! And is now on my travel bucket list.

[@pnwcruiser]

Brilliant production! And what a stunning island. Thanks for sharing your experience.

You two are a awesome couple. It does my heart good to watch your video. I wish the best for you. I can't wait to see your next adventure

[@derekwaudby5899]

[@twostevensinau]

I love the videos guys, Matt you look really really tired; maybe take a little time to rest as you are pushing really hard. God bless you both.

[@luckymacy]

Flores is absolutely world class amazing!!!!

[@jonathansmith8691]

Wow just wow!

[@larryrichards9418]

[@gregorydamario7977]

Agree with lots of the comments below. National Geographic quality. Have you considered contacting NG? I think you should, seriously. Also, it is so cool to see that people were transported (Star TreK style?) on and off the boat, apparently while it was speeding between and through basaltic outcroppings. Scotty gots mad skills. 🤪

[@davidmcbee814]

Beautiful videos from a special sailing couple.
