We're glad the boat is steel...Southport to Steiglitz - Episode 3

[@JamieNicole729]

I say keep the parts of you picking up the plastic. Even if it’s uncomfortable for people to see, it’s bringing awareness to an issue. Keep doing your thing, you guys are awesome!

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Thanks for the comment, Jamie. That's just the reassurance we were hoping for. Awareness is everything!

[@rickc303]

Much ado about nothing with the fucken plastics, either pick it up and show it or leave it behind (ew) but no need to waste minutes blabberin on about it

[@svharmsway2501]

I’d say definitely keep showing picking up plastic and trash, only would offend people that are putting it there to begin with. You both are so much fun to watch, entertaining and keeping it real.

Thanks, Adam! We appreciate your comment :)

[@rosscuthbertson2679]

Love your work. Great humour. Picking up trash is cool. I do it where I find it. Love your message and action.

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Likewise, Ross! It's one thing to talk about it, it's another to actually do it. Loving how many people are in support of this. Keep it up!

[@Generalpickaname]

Yeah I vote to keep as much as your comfortable in these vlogs. Picking up trash may only be a snippet but it raises awareness and hopefully others who don’t, will start too. I think content wise, I’ve seen a lot of KZbinrs struggle overtime because they think they have to keep topping content and providing more of what they think people want to see. But I think people lose sight of the fact that you guys simply become the content people come for. Not in a pressured creepy way. Yes sailing, (or whatever core channel theme a channel has) but lifestyle in general covers a lot. People love to chill and watch cool people doing cool shit. It makes me happy seeing guys living this way. Seeing you guys live your life the way you do is interesting to those of us stuck in ‘traditional’ lifestyles. It’s an escape. But as us viewers get to you know you through what you and other channels share, there’s an appreciation for just virtually chilling with ya! Whatever that entails. YEEEEW!

Aaron, Very Well Said.👍 You've solved my issue of how to word a proper comment on the topic. TY 🙏

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Yeah Mike, we second that! From our own experiences watching YT and other vlogging platforms, we find ourselves returning to the channels that we feel connected too ~ through their personalities, the relationship with the people they're sailing with and the value they provide. We hope to create the same environment here, with subs who feel like mates! Super grateful for your comment, Aaron. Thanks for dropping by

Hello again, yes include it, the world needs to see and know. I did the same as you at each place picked up what was visible. And in some places many boaters got together for a general clean up followed by a beach gathering together. Love you videos very much. Enjoy your adventure...

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

We LOVE this idea, Matt! Will absolutely be adopting this ritual once we find ourselves in an anchorage with some cool crew. Cheers for the comment!

[@bencampbell2407]

Hey kids, welcome to the gc and shallow bank's and stink boats throwing huge wakes! A handy tip when you hit bottom is to push your boom out and hang off it or sit on it, making the boat heel and motor off, also you'll need a shipload of bushman's at steinglitz! Try and source your materials at coomera as it's cheaper, horizon shores tav does great meals, cheers thanks for sharing

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey Ben, bloody oath all great recommendations and things we've figured out from our time there. Next time (and god forbid) we're on a bank, I'll be experimenting with your suggestion. Cheers

One of the cardinal rules of travel, camping, or boating. Leave the places you've been or stayed at cleaner than when you found it. So good on you both.

[@greghorne8678]

You guys are funny. Nice work on the garbage content. Not nearly as boring as drone footage or snorkelling montages, and the comedy bits are good value. I heaps love a cruiser and some tomatoes on a beach but I’d never leave my trash. Next time you hit a sand bar remember that you can reduce your draft by heeling the boat. There are many ways to get off, all very specific to the individual conditions, but you should be able to get yourselves off without paying for it, of sandbars. Kedging with a halyard lifting up your anchor line is a good one for some pulling and heeling action at the same time. Thank you for the quality videos and good luck on your adventures!

[@seawench555]

Hi interbloom, great to see another good sailing channel from Oz. 🤘🇳🇿🌈 how great is Our Country. Keep it Real, raw and natural. So nice love u too mum. Im suprised they didn't lift her when u got the survey.

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Cheers, our friend! When we bought her, it was rightttt at the beginning of all the covid restrictions with crossing borders. The boat was slipped for the survey report...we just couldn't get up there to see it. So it was very exciting for us to see it in the flesh!

[@leemelbourne3297]

Really cool how the tender folds up. And interesting to learn there is a rescue service that can help with things like getting stuck on a sand bar. These are the things about living and sailing a large boat that are interesting to learn. It would be great if you can include that sort of stuff in your videos (I mentioned this on your first vid). Extremely sad that people cannot clean up after themselves. Great that you highlighted the problem. If everybody ignores it, then it continues (and is likely to get worse).

[@tonyf7997]

Great vlog guys, keep it real! You will find more and more trash as you head north and what we have done is gather as much as possible and light a fire to burn as it is impossible on a small yacht to store and dispose of . Good on you guys, remember slow and steady to take in whatever you can along the day! Love it!

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Thanks for the comment, Tony! We've heard this from other yachtys too, we've been trying to work out the best way for us to manage the rubbish we find when bins aren't available - as 35ft doesn't allow for much space for rubbish...not comfortably anyway. We appreciate the tip! :)

I had the same attitude to rubbish, however there was just no way to pick it all up, store and dispose😢

I would say, showing you doing part of the process of cleaning it up would be fine. I don’t know if I would wanna watch 10 or 15 minutes of it but yeah highlighted a little bit I think that would be perfect. Oh I’m talking about cleaning up the beaches yes

[@georgelueder309]

You guys will do great on KZbin keep it up, some one might tell you hopefully that shot blasting your hull is the best way to go, it sort of roughins the steel surface so your paint will have something to anchor to, using a wire brush will to clean the hull will reduce the chance for the paint to stick to

[@stevet647]

Next time you run aground (because no-one doesn't touch), if you use a haliad on a tender to pull the mast over then the yacht engine can drive you forward.

[@ctown6971]

Atleast its sand nice and soft. Might have to check the paint though.

[@annedelahay857]

Just a suggestion, invest in good quality UV Sun glasses, firstly for eye protection(had 13 stitches for skin cancer very close to my eye) and you will be able to see the shallow depths in the water as you move around.

[@peterfrebold]

Hey you two! ... new here, YT suggested you, have watched all of your vids to date and love your attitudes and the exclusion of the drama thing, rather the "there are just solutions" making you problem solvers rather than being on the slippery slope of doom and gloom .... Yes show the picking up of plastic and placing in bin, maybe speed those segments up sometimes. But never belittle the fact that you are picking up. There is a stigma about picking garbage and those that see you doing it may be swayed to also join in. I am in the camp of plastic is a good thing, the problem is where it goes after use of which the first step is disposing of properly and not doing the I am finished with it, hand opens and it is dropped and no longer my concern attitude. Don't get me wrong, this goes for all garbage and the "you take it in, you take it out" is paramount. .... lucky Dude getting a pedi .... Like having my feet touched, not sure if this has some relation to the pressure points in our feet that are used in reflexology. Foot massages are also way cool .... may want to look into how to connect hashtags to your vids, all about driving traffic .... thx for the share Phoebe & Josh .. as always .. never stop dreaming, ust dream bigger .. have fin be safe, save our ocean .... Have done the suby, likey, Belly, Thingy ....

[@Davidcallard]

There is so much trash and it seems to be so widely distributed that it got me thinking with the result that it occurred to me to ask is this all domestically produced or could there be another source in addition to ourselves? This led me to the only other source that I can think of at the moment viz. offshore shipping? There is a continuous convoy of international shipping running up and down our Eastern Seaboard and is anyone keeping a sharp eye on it? That would have to be a high intensity operation so I doubt it. So this probably leaves us reliant on the goodwill of overseas shipping companies...hmmn.

[@willyde4789]

Haha, love the look at the end of the pedicure scene. Being festival goers, I'm taking the name innerbloom comes from Rufus du sol? Lovin the vids by the way, keep doing what you'se are doing.

Hey Willy! Yes you're totally right ~ Innerbloom holds a very special place in our hearts, the song of our story - our opus so far. It's also a hommage to Aussies and Aussie artists. We listened to Rufus Du Sol back when they were still Rufus. Super stoked you vibe with it too. Big love!

[@CesarGonzalez-kt7vp]

Wonder why I keep running into so many Aussie sailors? You guys are Great! I've seen that dinghy before and it's got more minus points then positive in my book. Good starter but save $ for future upgrade! My 2 cents 🖖😊

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

There's heaps of us around! It's heartwarming for us to see :) We actually love our Portabote! We had a poly tender previously which didn't serve us well. The portabote folds up into a single plank which can be easily stowed by the handrails, so it doesn't take up too much with the limited deck space we have. It's also incredibly buoyant and durable - we did a grocery run with over 40kg of groceries, 2 fold up bikes, the body weight of both of us and our outboard in a strong southerly with lots of chop, and it managed really well. Pro's and con's for most tenders, but for as long as we're on this boat we're going to have something that takes up minimal space. And we love our sugar scoop so davits aren't an option. Thanks for your comment, mate! We always appreciate input from viewers :)

Hey Chris! Sonya lives tank-free in this little sailboat. Our old Beardie, Vicky, who passed from old age also lived in this boat tank-free for 2 years. They both loved it and it's incredible to see how different their mannerism and behaviour is being free range compared to living in a tank. We make sure Sonya gets regular and consistent sun for UVA and UVB, she also has a heat mat that runs off the 2000W inverter. Glass was a dead set no go for a sailboat, so we're happy that she's happy with this arrangement. Have you got a reptile?

Probably the most used word in everyday life of Australians and/or Sailors lexicon. To edit or not to edit, that is the question.

[@coezi]

No problem with the environmental comments and showing the rubbish was/is a good play. People should be shamed for it. Maybe tone down the Australian centric insults though, and the digs at men. Creating rubbish isn't unique to Australians, nor men. I know it's in our culture to put shit on each other, your audience may well become global though. Hopefully you'll get to leave Australian waters one day, and when you do you'll realise you're amongst one of the cleanest and most environmentally conscious cultures and people on earth already. Don't take this negatively, you're doing great!
