We Turn Back for This Beach (Antigua) | Ep. 64

[@ElixifyMusic]

This is so precious. . . The sail, the beach, fire, food, solitude, you can smell freedom blowing in the wind, and a sweet song so gracefully sung. . . What an enchanting evening. Thank you Alex and Lars, you are truly inspiring. . . Blessings. . .

[@NavikaSailing]

Hey Jaiv thanks for your message that's so kind and awesome to hear! :)

[@user-isiberian_wanderer]

Финал шикарный! Прибой, закат, костёр и твоя девушка поёт песни под гитару! From siberia with respect!

[@peterbrasso9704]

Couldn’t help but feel a little envy Alex and Lars - notwithstanding the bugs - as I watched this one on a very rainy Vancouver day. And then topped off with Alex singing to the gorgeous drone shot panoramas of that idyllic place. Chills and smiles. Thank you!

[@NavikaSailing]

Thanks Peter, glad you enjoyed it!

[@gardenofedenfruit]

Great video, glad to see a Vegan bbq, peace, love and fruit!

[@stevecrombie5357]

Alex it would be wonderful if you would grace us with more of your music. Just an opinion:-)) They call those little bugs, no-see-ums for a reason. The joy of not having a schedule, so you just change your plans. Love the channel. Stay safe.

[@captainandthelady]

Oh man. That ending...that is what dreams are made of. Thanks for posting.

[@NavikaSailing]

That was a seriously dreamy spot! Thanks for following :)

[@food4sail]

Loved seeing your beach BBQ. Perfect sound track. Please share with us more of you recipes and cooking. Thanks so much!

[@NavikaSailing]

Thanks! Nice why not, we can share a bit more food stuff too :)

[@johnlaney4855]

Ernest is correct, your little biting bugs are commonly called no-see-up’s otherwise known as Ceratopogonidae. No-see-up’s is a lot easier to remember. Get use to them in the warm months, they’ll be around, especially on the beaches. Thanks for taking us along.

[@adrianmarsh865]

Great job on the video as usual! Some beautiful scenery shots looking ashore on arrival and feom the hilltop. Beautiful song as well. Thanks for the mid day escape.

[@NavikaSailing]

Thanks so much Adrian! Antigua really is one for great views

[@robertnixon3816]

Love this! Free form living at its finest! What you do makes life sooo good! Enjoy!

[@mermaid7775]

Your videos and vibe are beautiful and very well done. I’ve been watching several YT sailing channels for years, including some of the ‘big’ ones. You should have at least 10x more subscribers than you do. I’m sure it will happen. #s seem to jump suddenly for most, then they fly. I’m a fan. 💕 🧜‍♀️

[@johnd4831]

Alex & Lars, I wanted to take a minute and thank you guys for giving us the inspiration to visit a place in Spain after watching one of your videos. My wife & I have been planning a Spain, France and Italy trip for a couple of years and had our itinerary in place. However, after watching your video on Granada we made a change and spent several wonderful days there. You were right in that Alhambra is magical. So thanks!!! And when we get back from our two month adventure, I’ll catch up on your Caribbean travels. Stay safe 😊

[@NavikaSailing]

Hey John, no way that's so cool to hear! So glad that was useful and that you guys were able to go check it out :) Enjoy the rest of your trip, sounds amazing!

[@ElixifyMusic]

. . . blackened to perfection. . . Yeah. . .

[@NavikaSailing]

we have plans to be back in February already 😂

[@ernesteason7305]

The little biting things are called 'no seeums'. Smoke and wind keep them away.

[@thomasdecarlo8543]

Thank you for grilled corn & olive oil education … who knew ….who would have thunk it outside the holy grail box of corn & butter …

[@NavikaSailing]

Righhhht?? Who knew 😂 We had no butter on board but the olive oil stood its own as a solid substitute!

[@littledorrit6819]

Love The Cure. Very nicely done.

[@lukecelt9000]

Wow, guys… that brought back some memories to this old coot - back in 1976, right about where you turned back on your way to Green Island, my little 25-foot sloop was dismasted… returned safely to English Harbour, but that was a bummer of a day… Love your channel!

[@NavikaSailing]

Oh my god!! That's crazyyy haha wow didn't expect to read that. Thank goodness you got back OK, bummer indeed!

[@SailingSunday]

That looks like the perfect beach for Jackson 🤪😊😁

[@NavikaSailing]

Honestlyyy! Pretty sure we thought the same and messaged you at the time like, you need to get to Antigua - there are empty beaches everywhere!!

[@mattdouglas5570]

it's really good when you say ,today we're in ..... and we're going to ..... as sometimes I miss the area so thankyou great narrator I'm thinking, a well put together video fun to watch

[@bethlef5168]

Great video!! YUM

[@327365hp]

Beautiful voice Alex! What a great beach day!

[@NavikaSailing]

Thank you! 🥰 Yeah honestly pretty perfect day

[@John-ps7mk]

anxiously waiting for the album.

[@NavikaSailing]

Hahaha thanks John! Gotta get working on it 😆

[@jimnoise7579]

Great video and beautiful singing!

[@NavikaSailing]

Thank you so much!

[@jasonpacific111]

Everything a sailing channel can be. So fantastic 🎶🏅

[@randywelsh4163]

I think you guys are the best! The way you complement each other it’s like left hand, right hand perhaps the closest I’ve seen. Story line was great scenery was beautiful and the music was very very good.

[@eduardoacosta6199]

Oh my let’s keep The cure unplugged coming. That was great ! 😇

[@NavikaSailing]

Haha thanks Eduardo! :D

[@curtishyde1842]

Yeah it's what we call down there in the Caribbean sand fly a little bitty no seeums

[@sailinglatis]

Very enjoyable. Thank you.

[@NavikaSailing]

[@tedmccullen7466]

[@johnbonamigo5696]

Best island in the world

[@michaelrobbins4730]

You guys are the best!

[@NavikaSailing]

💙💙

[@louis220558]

LOVIT .........AND ALSO YOUR SONG

[@NavikaSailing]

🙏🙏🥰🥰

[@fleurpullen1980]

Loved it! Your videos keep getting better and better ❤

[@NavikaSailing]

Ahh thanks Fleur! That's so cool to hear. It's hard to see when you're making them but I bet if I went to watch some older ones I'd notice a difference! 💜

[@SailingSunday]

Loved this video guys, the music, sailing, your shots, the drone shot was nice! Awesome you guys caught up with Koru again over there too 🤙

[@NavikaSailing]

Thanks guys! Yeah so nice to catch those guys before they headed up North.

[@SquawkCode]

I do corn and potatoes the same way (shit tons of olive oil, salt & pepper 😂).You inspired me to grill corn & spuds the other day. What were the sandwiches you were eating at the beginning? They looked delicious!

[@tylercarder581]

Just found your channel and was so excited to watch every episode. Why did yall quit making videos 😢

[@judywebb8358]

Love the music. Is it published anywhere!?

[@NavikaSailing]

Hey Judy, we've made a Spotify playlist of all the music that we use in our videos here: open.spotify.com/playlist/7xKvsHS9yvvVs3NHPdJQdD?si=e3f072821be24105. Some of my music is also on Spotify under 'Ian & Alex' if you're interested too :)

[@tj7870]

use a bridle on the dinghy!

[@makanimike]

I wish you would put more songs on spotify! :) (unless I have missed more - I only about the Ian & Alex songs)

[@NavikaSailing]

Ah thanks, yeah the Ian & Alex ones are the only songs up there so far - but I'm thinking of working on some more stuff and putting that up! So stay tuned :)

[@makanimike]

@@NavikaSailing please do. Your singing voice is world class. It deserves to be heard more

[@oinatao]

I guess not for the evening, but for the morning trips, couldnt you swim? or take the SUPs?

[@NavikaSailing]

Yeah definitely! And we did, but if you want to take stuff ashore swimming isn't really an option - and the SUP could work but with minimal gear

[@oinatao]

@@NavikaSailing I guess its either swimming or taking all the camera gear und thus we don´t see much of the swimming... a really great video again in any case

[@clarkkent772]

Why do you have a three purchase main sheet block but your only using two?😎

[@HereCHOCYchocy]

Does that dinghy need folding wheels?

[@NavikaSailing]

Yep it's pretty hefty! Wheels would help

[@DaGringoOnStingo]

Am really enjoying your channel. Has your AIS stopped working?

[@NavikaSailing]

Hey John, thanks! Yep it has, it's in for repairs at the moment

[@TheExumRidge]

How do you not have sunburns by now? Disciplined you are.

[@scotty6435]

Yeah, definitely don't be at the beach at sunset unless you want to be dinner for a few hundred noseums

[@NavikaSailing]

Yep, learned that the hard way! 😆 We're still new to the Caribbean ways - don't have noseums in Europe!

[@earlashton1342]

Why don't you sing more but directly to the camera? Love your voice. Not all the time. But to give us a treat.
