Good-Bye French Polynesia; Sailing to Suwarrow, Cook Islands | Episode 264

[@russells737]

Congrats on 50K. It's been a long time coming. Honestly the algorithm must hate you as your channel is the total package and should have more than 100K subscribers long ago.

[@pb0231]

First episode with you all after your time with Delos. Great video, I look forward to more!

[@ianrabie1737]

Love that big yellow and white sail of yours. It's just like you two bright and sunny.

[@maccant4707]

Thanks for the lesson on how to eat toast 😂 Wazza learns something new everyday.

[@robertscranton8293]

I just love the braids in Erica's hair.. Awesome.

[@davel9130]

Congrats on what is apparently the smooth part of your passage. Sounds like the copper bottom is paying off.

[@HopeOfJoe]

Hey, guys, such a lovely, freedom enhancing and easygoing episode. The best sailing. 👍🏻 See you next time. ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝️👙🌞✨

[@WEsail]

Ya hi hi!! Thanks!!!

[@bobbycvi]

congrats on 50k! keep it going!

[@WEsail]

Thanks! Will do!

[@nevillesaunders1916]

Another awesome video. You two are a great team, working well together. I have really enjoyed your time in French Polynesia but probably not as much as you have. 😂. I hope you are coming to New Zealand. You will love it here.

[@lindamedders6700]

I so want to be you guys. That is heaven on earth.

[@havewheelslovesailing]

Love that footage going out the pass

[@Vince_White82]

Hard to leave FP on your FP after making so many memories. I think I would have imported my boat and just stayed! Hahaha. Warren had a good point about there being other new and exciting places to see.

[@karlswope2331]

And what a beautiful view you have...enjoy

[@williamarblaster4220]

Bon voyage mes amis. I know you’ve already made it to the Cook Islands, and who knows where you are and never have been able to figure out how to track you in real time. Looking forward to every video in season six all the best

[@MrFroglips69]

Another groovy episode. Lovely shots of the world around you. yummy crab lunch.

[@DJ-tu9td]

You guys are so cool!

[@juliazentner681]

Oh man I love C. S. & N Seen them 3x in concert with my dad b4 I was 19. I'm 52 now. Boy I miss my dad!

[@WEsail]

Oh man ya I bet, glad you got that time together though!!

[@billskelton3701]

Only show on the net that makes passages pleasant to watch!!

[@marcusharvey4369]

Our boat( monohull) was originally designed with a cable halyard, we replaced it with a new line without cable and discovered we were chaffing through the new line. We ended up going back to the cable. I’m not sure if that helps, but you might look at adding a partial cable system where you seem to chaff at full sail.

[@wellDunn1]

Love it! Ironically, as I was watching this video I opened a bottle of ice tea and the cap had this message on the bottom… “A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for. - John Shedd”. Very apropos. ❤

[@hilljime]

Hi Warren and Erica, from India, while Searc Fin is getting new SD60’s. Great video. 44+44 waterline qualifies 😂.

[@Philanderthal]

As for the main halyard……some things you just can’t explain ! Until you dig a little deeper…..you are really competent man !

[@DualMagnums]

since this is you guys latest video, i told Brian on sv delos that yall derserve a sub for the rip in the sail. this is me keeping my word, looking forward to the content. beautiful people on a beautiful boat!

[@KIRALYW]

Wonderful sailing. For all the C S& N fans out there, I strongly recommend you take a listen to The Little River Band & check out their greatest hits. I guarantee you’ll know at least one of their breakthrough songs that found fame in America… “Reminiscing”. Australia was loving this band when C S & N were gaining popularity in USA. These 2 bands are always compared with one another, because they compliment each others work across this globe. Happy listening. Please get back to me with your thoughts. We love music therapy in this house. 💗

[@truckerallister9080]

Absolutely one super video from you guys, keep it up, W.S

[@WEsail]

Thanks! Will do!!!

[@Joe-zt7ef]

Excellent Video :) you two were meant to do this :) safe travels.

[@liya9159]

another great episode. Fair winds....

What a nice way to say good-bye to French Polynesia! Love you guys and safe passage.

Southern Cross, best song ever!

[@Capfka]

Well, you got a couple of days of downwind sailing ... count your blessings! Love your channel, guys. Keep it up!

[@federicomaisch8019]

Safe travels!

[@colinboniface194]

Magnificent sailing... All is well...

[@chrisnielsen4241]

GOOD JOB

[@rjgillens2637]

the phrase is champagne sailing I do believe... thank you!;)

[@rosiegreddogyachts4135]

New coppercoat bottom is good for speed. We have that and have been clean and good for three years. Did an inspection haul and powerwashed almost nothing after 2 1/2 years. Best thing we ever chose in the whole build. Smooth like a racer

[@freedomwanderer91]

I know it's bitter sweet leaving but the beautiful destinations are waiting. Wind in your sails.

[@ray6659]

I would enjoy that "view" all day long 😁

[@stevea9604]

That sandwich PDA was sweet…I think it adds so much to your journey and ours 🤩😍😁

[@robertlemoine3500]

Thankyou 😊

[@dennispatrick4999]

Safe sailing. Great videos.

[@juliazentner681]

The moon shots were so pretty!

[@OurCabinInThewoods]

Your channel should be well into 300k subs. Great video and i will be waiting for the next one thanks for sharing.

[@WEsail]

Aww thank you! Sometimes we feel that way too. Just wondering what we can do to get that to happen?

[@OurCabinInThewoods]

@WEsail just asking without looking, "Do you do lives. Homesteaders people do and get great response. I need to start doing them also

[@Rouge_7]

This was a nice, calm video. Thanks

We took the exact route in 2017, so similar

[@WEsail]

Awesome!! So cool

[@sandyestabrook3898]

Looking forward to seeing the home of Tom Neale

[@WEsail]

Oh I think you will find the next few episodes interesting. We read his book and we also had the whole island to ourselves! Spoiler alert

[@-hopskinny5865]

@@WEsail If you go on to Rarotonga, you can find Tom's grave in what used to be called "The Brych Yard". I think Tom ended up a patient of Milan Brych at the end of his life, hence his burial with a lot of other patients of the notorious "Dr".

[@craigc.494]

@@WEsail Great you read the book. Find it good reads download I mentioned, only place I could find? What I meant earlier about the alcohol tax was it helps along with your respectful demeanor, with the rangers allowing diving a certain reef, since protected.

[@WEsail]

We decibel to plan to. The list just gets longer and longer hahaha

[@californiakayaker]

Kirsten Neuschafer was able to win the Golden Globe round the world race by using Wing on Wing primarily. She lost some speed at the final stretch because she lost a pole but Wing on Wing won her the race ! I must say though, sailing live on board life style has gotten a lot easier with the advent of better solar power , especially the batteries , the advent of great 12v fridges, a lot of things have gotten easier. I can remember Delos having to run their Generator close to 247 to keep up ! They had to replace it in South Africa ! Ask them !

[@WEsail]

Oh wow did she? That’s amazing. When it works the configuration is pretty nice. Living aboard now is certainly not what it used to be. We think about those whole sailed even without any motors. The Pardys sailed over 28000 nautical miles without them. Blows my mind, and we have so much to keep us comfortable and remote for so long.

[@craigc.494]

⁠​⁠@@WEsail I agree, especially under sail entering port. I asked many questions of the Pardys when working with them selling books and at silent auction with Bob Bitchin raising $$ for kids local sailing program. So humbling. Guess we are all fans. Happy for your great passage.

[@Cantorsenang]

Men should handle the anchor

[@Cptstokes]

Spaling of southern cross. myself, mouse and another gu, turoist party on his boat in Avalon which is where ilived. And the chi chi club is where he made the phone call in the song. : From a noisy bar in in Avalon I tried to call you". He stay in Avalon for about 2 weeks before he headed south. We all be pretty amazing when the song came out. And I do mean party!

[@WEsail]

Omg what a story!! Wow thanks for sharing this!! CHEERS!!

[@Will-cf8hc]

Nice video,when you poured your drink at the end ,you had some palm trees outside your window not the great big ocean?

[@WEsail]

Nice catch!! We did rob some footage from our upcoming arrival, spoiler alert 😬

[@brianc4917]

There are a few issues, one being how you attach the headsail to the car. This distance is too far off the mast. Second, the turning block is too big. Look at something like Custom Series 30 halyard block from ronstan. Some use a piece of line that tights as the sail is raised and loosens as it is lowered so that the battens lay flat when it is on the boom. You have to reduce the angle at which the halyard is coming out of the mast so it doesn't rub. The closer to the track the better or check out the Doyle sails system kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHLIm5RpmLuJbpIsi=c13CNgab6c7BSx6o Oh, one more thing make sure you pump up Erica's Wing to full pressure (there should be a number next to the value) it will make Erica's winging even better! Don't hate me I'm jealous of you both!

[@WEsail]

OMG that is such a slick system!! It’s very much like the Karver Gaff Hook, maybe a bit better!!! Only problem is that you have to have THEIR sails… anyways, thanks very much for the information, we really appreciate you taking the time to message us like this!! Cheers!!

[@richardbecker5614]

OMG wht a great passage. You both deserve the down time. And yes Warren, we did enjoy the view of beautiful Erica.

[@WEsail]

Ahh yes, you’re welcome 😉

[@Gbesase1]

Could it be the sheeve up at the top? It’s plastic, and if chipped or cracked it will chafe your halyard.

[@stephhart7893]

Quickly, and from a bit of a distance... from what I see, and past experiences, don't think the chafe is from the sheave - tho that's possible - looks like the oddly large triangular cheek pieces - the sides to a block that hold everything together - are what is causing chafe. And again, from my experiences, that is more likely to chafe worse as the block gets closer to the mashed. YES, one more instance to ask - how could designer/ builder do something like this... the archeology of boat life - that block is quite likely not original. Look at the cheeks, that might be yr problem.

[@jeremymiller7993]

I would give anything to live this life. How do I get a ⛵️ sailboat? Any advice? I don't want to break the bank. I just need a good starter catamaran. Please help. Should I start with a go fund me account?

[@WEsail]

Haha that is one way of doing it, it may at least get your foot in the door!! There are so many bargain boats out there, just gotta really look around!!

[@claussealbert7203]

Terrible audio guys! 😕

[@WEsail]

Hey thanks for letting us know. Can you you tell me we’re you watching on a computer or Tv? Trying to make sure the audio for the next ones are better but need to know exactly what it is

[@jgdorado]

@@WEsail audio is good on ours. PC connected to TV. BTW - We love finding out about you guys. You do a great job on the videos and story telling. I can't wrap my head around why you don't 700k subscribers. The editing and music selections are capturing. - Thank you for sharing your adventrures

[@claussealbert7203]

@@WEsail I use a good Koss headphone, on my Mac. You lose all trebbles with your action cam/reflex cam. It is very clear on last Delos’s video! Each time your gear is used, the trebbles disappear. No issues with Bryan’s gear. Same thing happens When you overdub your voice on top of your video, there is a clear change of tone. Overdub voice is clear, action cam sounds as if a Hipass filter is on… All your S turn into F! 😬 One last thing, pay attention to your « P’s» and « T’s » When you overdub, you speak a little too close to your Microphone, (is it a Shure Sm7B?) So they turn into small detonations in the ears. Set it around 30/40 cm away from your mouth 👌and use a Compressor to even your audio signal in final editing. I love your videos, you are living the dream so thanks for sharing it! 😉 Best regards, keep it up! Al.

[@kadenstorm544]

We watch it on our computer every time. When we pull up KZbin on our TV to watch it the audio is not good.

[@meganstorm8393]

Also, this is Meg. But apparently Kaden was logged into my computer/KZbin, so we got ya some extra "likes" and watches in there :) So glad y'all are making it to NZ! Time to start planning our visit! Miss you
