Sailing to the CLEAREST WATER EVER | Episode 197

[@charliebrown8278]

I love that you guys will sail for a few hours to go 10 miles, rather than fire up the diesel. Tack a whole bunch and just go with the wind. It’s not like you’re in a rush, right? STUNNING underwater footage. How nice you can swim there without messing up the coral. Once again… two thumbs up 👍👍. (If I had more thumbs, they’d all be up).

[@WEsail]

Haha well THANK YOU!! It’s an amazing place for sure, and we do worry about the health of the coral with all the traffic it gets, and there must be a LOT of inadvertent touching and rubbing with novice swimmers, but from the looks of everything in the area, it’s somehow managing very well, or people are more careful than they appear… either way, thanks for watching and commenting!!

The beauty and pure serenity - not much more to be said, just incredible underwater shots! Donate for a Dream

[@peterfehr4612]

Look at the creativity the universe has.

[@somadevo]

I'm convinced you have arrived in the best this planet has to offer. The South Pacific is TOPS!!!

[@wellDunn1]

Who’s better than WE Mutha Friggen Sail?!?! No one! You guys produce the best, most beautiful, most modest, most sincere and some of the best edited cinematic content on KZbin. I truly look forward to WE Sail Wednesdays and I appreciate your point of view, the effort and the content you put into your videos. This is why I’m a Patreon and support your channel (hint to all). Keep up the awesome work. Cheers!

[@jordan0brown]

Had an absolute crap day then this video was waiting for me. This channel is the only real sailing channel as far as I am concerned.

[@WEsail]

Wow, did we just become best friends lol!! Man, thanks very VERY much!!

[@miketelfer3024]

Personally I do not know how you guy's honestly get better every single time 🤷🏻‍♂️ the filmography is leaps and bounds ahead of Soo many. Please just keep it up and the fruits of your labour will pay off. I can't wait to do what you are 😁

[@davidnichols147]

Taha's tropical aquarium, I must say your master's at photography and the audio was magnificent. We are most fortunate that you shared this French Polynesia video with us and are sooooo jealous that we couldn't be aboard to experience the natural beauty you have captured with expertise, your so kind. Enjoy your travels together and each other along the way.

[@RNVOS]

As retired Dive instructors for over 25 years you two are great ambassadors for the aquatic marine! Love your videos and thanks for sharing! Rob & Nancy vancouver BC 🇨🇦 ❤

[@randysailer9172]

Warren/Erica - It would be nice to see some bloopers at the end of the video's like you have in the past. Thank you for sharing your life with us!! Can't wait till next week!!!!!

[@annafraley5388]

Have watched a Lot of under water filming, but THIS was Fantastic, for sure, some of the prettiest scenery and Clearest water EVER.😱🤓👍 We would just Have to Stay…!!!

[@mbrut56]

That underwater video was incredible! The colors and uniqueness of the fish and corals are beautiful! Thank you

[@kooz840]

Another fantastic video. One of best sailing channels out there!!!

[@WEsail]

Wow well THANKS BUDDY!!

[@loripeaceandlove6391]

Wow! Absolutely Heavenly! This video was amazing. I felt like I was looking into a huge beautiful fish tank at the aquarium. Wow! You both are so talented-Thank You for sharing your amazing gifted talents. I honestly felt like I was in Heaven. PeaceAndLove Lori

[@jjansen987]

Keep them coming. Great channel!

[@arun_kumar0]

Those are some Beauuuutiful shot i have ever seen guys... hey can you just do a video like those ASMR... would love the experience, hear and feel the nature like how you guys experience every single day out there... no music, no talking... just the visual and audio of wind, water and birds...

[@rogermace4516]

WOW the colours on those fish were just amazing. Talk about livin the life .........well done

[@brynjenkins7412]

Thanks for sharing the dream life with us above and below the waterline!

[@WEsail]

Absolutely, our pleasure!!

[@jdfish9955]

I am a longtime (envious) follower and this video is amazing! You and we as humans are truly blessed to be able to visit and enjoy such natural beauty 😊

[@WEsail]

Well thank you, seriously!! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!!

[@mford9029]

The adventure continues. Thanks for sharing and the spectacular underwater footage.

[@nevillesaunders1916]

How awesome was that? Almost unbelievable. Thank you.

[@ronstacy6054]

Thankyou both for all your awesome video above water and below. Please don't ever stop. I believe you have found, in Polynesia, the garden of eden.

[@WEsail]

You bet, thanks for a great comment- we agree!!

[@LarryKindret]

You have a lot of adorable beautiful fishies to play with and snorkle with and i love it. You two are just beautiful great people with great videos. Thanks

[@billskelton3701]

By the way, your bathing suit was the perfect match of colors of the coral and fish. You 2 are simply killing it. You should have many more subscribers.!!!!!❤❤

[@chasepuzon6893]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. U2 are very beautiful happy people keep up the videos. I get excited every time I see you wanna come up

[@ericpelletier9291]

Man that place looks like a dream come true! Great video again guys.

[@ALL_For_His_Kingdom3224]

Simply breath taking. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. ❤

[@rayb3117]

That snorkel was simply out of this world beautiful.

[@WEsail]

Thank you THANK YOU!!

[@kristinwest832]

Your videos keep getting better and better!

[@brentstafford9736]

I enjoy not only the content you send our way but the supportive attitude you share toward each other!! I'm sure there are off camera moments that will stay that way so......thank you for being good examples!

[@BohemianBeatster]

Bora Bora and the surrounding islands are without a doubt Paradis on Steroids. Amazing free range saltwater aquarium. You two capture beauty and almost undesirable magic of a world that is frozen in time, and only read about in romantic novels of the secret seven seas. Needless to say, another very groovy episode of a dream world that you bring to all of us. Stay safe and stay groovy. PS If I were you guys, I would perinatally move there, sailing around to the various islands and just grooving with the locals.

[@WEsail]

Haha that’s so funny, we have been considering just that!! Wow, thanks for such a. Great message- very appreciated!!!

[@thorsten5610]

Again. Best Video Ever!!! Regards Thorsten

[@jimcooper1790]

Fantastic !! Definitely one of your best . The underwater work was amazing

[@philnewman9552]

Just want to thankyou guys for such great episodes you manage to take me away dreaming of swimming in such clear water miles away from such cold, wet, dreary weather here in the UK. I look forward each week to drift away with you escaping from my reality sorry I can’t afford to be a patron but I click & ring every week please keep going you both have become so professional with your filming & editing as the vlogs flow so well not jumping around like others I’ve watched, well done. Xx

[@tdiddle8950]

Electric blue giant clams? That's a new one for me. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

More underwater footage please. Thank you for this vid.

[@snezanagavrilovic5908]

Thank you for the wonderful video. Greetings from Serbia 🥳

[@richardbecker5614]

OMG! You make me miss my 40ft trawler even more. Beautiful video, thank you!

[@SVSeaChange]

I have been enjoying following your travels through French Polynesia, having sailed a similar route last year, but with only a three-month visa I had only a month in the Society islands. But I got to drift snorkel that amazing coral garden on Tahaa and visit Raitea and all the other islands. By now you are surely well along the way, but just in case not, I'm sure you have learned that when checking out in Borabora they give you a week to leave FP, which is perfect for visiting perhaps the two most wonderful places, Maupiti and Maupihaa, and as there are no gendarmes on those islands you can even push your stays there longer. And for places beyond FP there are of course many guide books and other recent YT channels, but perhaps you would find my amateurish ones useful, especially for Beveridge Reef and Fiji. Any way, thanks for bringing back good memories for me!

[@sven-0]

Magnificent! Thanks, please make many more episodes!

[@MrFroglips69]

Always a very groovy episode with you two. You rock.

[@abcc02]

Damn jealous.

[@bravofighter]

I think we all need to share your videos on Twitter to help you guys grow your channel reach.

[@WEsail]

Ohhh yes please! That would be great.

[@PaulBKal]

Ahh, the coral garden of Tahaa. We were just as delighted by it as you were. We couldn’t get out of the water and went back time and again, day after day. Likewise the people of Raiatea, Tahaa & Huahine. The friendliest happiest people on earth. We can’t wait to get back in our own boat and experience it at leisure. Thanks so much for building our dream again.

[@WEsail]

Ya for sure- completely agree! What a spot!! Hopefully see ya out there sometime!

[@deniseguajardo3511]

Another incredibly beautiful video 🐠♥️

[@williamarblaster4220]

Well, happy April 4 Warren and Erica. As always thank you for another great video which I thoroughly enjoyed. I’ve put off watching it for a few days because I’ve been caught up in the NCAA basketball tournament one of my favorite things each year and I have had a lot of work to do. Semi retirement means I’m still working. It’s wonderful to see you guys. Happy and healthy and then love doing what you love. Seeing Bora-Bora in the background was nice as my son is. Been lucky enough to have been there twice. I wish you both all the best love

[@tammyfaulkner7428]

Once again absolutely beautiful! Bora Bora is definitely on my bucket list! Thanks so much for sharing with us. Safe travels! ❤

[@cooterguy4867]

They were by Tahaa not Bora Bora.

[@laurapitre5797]

Bora Bora was in the background.

[@PaulBKal]

Tahaa is way better than Bora Bora. So beautiful, laid back and gorgeous

[@timmitchell8784]

I’m so looking forward to setting off on our own trip. I’ve kept saltwater fish for the last 50 years and some of the fish you’ve shown I’ve never seen. Gives me hope to see them all.

[@WEsail]

Ya do it!! We love it more than anything!!

[@srrosie5534]

Incredible scenery!!! I am certainly going to have to visit this area of the world, for it has everything I could ever want

[@treskir]

Just another one of your incredible videos! Thanks for making them.

[@slf994]

Very cool. Thank you

[@jefftimko5818]

spectacular underwater views........

[@carolynl615]

Thank you (from Colorado) so much for this video. I stayed at Le Taha'a four years ago and thoroughly enjoyed spending hours in the Coral Drift Garden. French Polynesia is a magical place and it has left an indelible mark on my soul.

[@Cptstokes]

That city dock is way cool. I stayed there for about 6 days checking out the town, last minute repairs and going over to the culture center winch is 1 block away.Plus buying extra diesel cans at the marine store.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[@my09ultra]

AWESOME video mates - too short actually. Loved it loved it

[@laurapitre5797]

Great video it brought back lots of memories! You can take your dinghy right up to the airport there for guests or a shipment of boat parts. Try circumnavigating Bora with the dinghy on a calm day.

[@bradpeterson5299]

Amazing water. I remember being at this very place back in 2009. It was so challenging trying to snorkel with such a strong current, but it was worth it. It was also my first experience seeing an over-water bungalow.

[@WEsail]

Yep mind blowing, all of it!

[@hisierra95]

You guys are Awesome! I really enjoy you’re aerial drone shots.

[@WEsail]

Thanks buddy, very appreciated!! CHEERS!

[@SailingwithScott]

Fun and relaxing. Måururu roa!

[@michaeljamesclarke]

Just loved all those fish!

[@WEsail]

The best!

[@forsuccessforlife7441]

Soooo fun - “S/V Xplorer” Saona 47 Papeete - was just there in Taha - then went to Fakarava /// epic diving! If we see you we will say hello!

[@CynthiaLeBosse]

We enjoy so much all your videos full of beauty, joy and love.❤🎉😊 Thank you guys for sharing these amazing moments 🙏

[@therealnewjorg]

you guys.. such an inspiration!!! ❤

[@WEsail]

Well thank you!!!

[@jayschafer5385]

Great channel. You guys really do a wonder job sharing your adventures through your vids.

[@billskelton3701]

Once again the shallow water shots were incredible. We get to see all the colors and it was brilliant. AS Plucky says, top notch people. Love you and your show.

[@craigerss3926]

Wow! Nice fish tank!

[@WEsail]

Haha RIGHT!?

[@MinuteMan76]

Really enjoy watching the two of you and your travels. You really inspire me in so many ways. I know that there is no real "paradise" (although the islands hold so much beauty) but together you have something so much more than sun, sand and palms could ever give . It's such a pleasure getting to know you. Looking forward to the next one. Who knows maybe one day my wife and I could set sail with you.😊🏝

[@christophermaneri6978]

Great stuff, felt like I was aboard with you. Thanks

[@annescott9502]

Your underwater video is some of the best I have ever seen. We are enjoying catching up watching all of your videos. Is there a video where you discuss the cameras you are using and lens to get this phenomenal video?

[@sailingmorningstar4036]

Here in BC Canada experiencing our first three days of sunshine in a row this year and 40 degree weather - don't feel too sorry for you guys on rain days LOL

[@rossmain4142]

Fantastic video, well done

[@WEsail]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for commenting

Excellent!!!!!!

Heaven on earth. Please, some Ukuleles. Maybe a little Pate Pate.

[@lucashillier]

Amazing spot

[@bradynixon8900]

Your videos are fantastic. You’ll get stalkers and fan geeks soon enough. Next minute - autographed t-shirts and floating sunglass range called Va le Spec!

[@richg3555]

Amazing underwater footage, what kind of camera and housing are you using, I need to upgrade from my GoPro. Any recommendations? Thanks

[@TammyBillings-qt1ve]

Wow

[@tdiddle8950]

Was that a nautilus? OMG!!!

[@tdiddle8950]

Those are some AMAZING anemones. Did you know that the clown anemone fish is only immune to the anemone's sting because they constantly bath in the anemone's poisonous sting? In medieval and renaissance times, poisonings in European courts were so common that apt persons took small amounts of typical poisons so as to be immune from their effects. This is a real and verifiable historical fact that is the exact same method that the clown anemone fish uses.

[@WEsail]

T diddle I love your facts. So interesting and who knew. Thank you for sharing that, I never knew that humans did such things! I really do love watching those guys swim in and out of the anemones.

[@tdiddle8950]

@@WEsail Nature is SO amazing. I give you guys my energetic support that you're out there and doing it. I very much enjoy these messages.

[@jroxena]

We keep hearing about the " Climate Emergency " and the worlds reefs are doomed because of rising sea temperatures. What are your thoughts on this topic? Are the sea levels rising also? Are these atolls at risk of rising sea levels? I love your videos!

[@WEsail]

Hey Jeff!! Ya we think about it daily and hear about it weekly… just about every spot we visit, the locals are aware of and discussing all of that- they have seen coasts disappearing, reefs definitely disappearing and weakening, fish populations dwindling, etc… it’s pretty clear from where we sit, I’m sad to say. It’s part of the reason we are doing what we are doing, and as we grow larger and learn more, we hope to be a bigger voice for awareness, or anything we can do to use our platform for positive movements… anyways, thanks for your comment and questions! Please stay tuned, and in touch!

[@Debgattas]

Is this considered Bora Bora? I’m a travel advisor and I’m actually researching this area and I would love to know the name of the resort your friends stayed at.

[@WEsail]

Yes basically, same same but different LOL... they are something like 30mi apart, absolutely beautiful for SURE!

[@thomasthornton5737]

😄👍👍👍❤

[@SamuelKTennis]

Didn't you see their 'Diver Down' flag!?! ;-)

[@WEsail]

Haha right!?

[@rosiegreddogyachts4135]

Vaipoiri

[@tdiddle8950]

Here I am again. Do you know why those birds are congregating/predating over that area? It must be because of some underwater predator...likely dolphins...is/are hunting and driving the fish to the surface to catch them more effectively, and the birds know that this happens and are there to take advantage. This also happens in Alaskan waters with humpback whales. I saw a video where a group of humpback whales pack-hunted herring, driving them in a circle and to the surface, and then they breached (quite dramatically) to predate the catched fish. Interestingly, when the humpbacks breached (by like ten feet), they took both the herrings AND the gulls that were congregating near the surface. Who knew that humpbacks eat gulls?

[@WEsail]

Oh wow! I would love to actually witness that! I guess when you are a mouth that big, anything will go in! Pretty amazing things happen out here on the water.

[@tdiddle8950]

Are you seriously saying that these people are happy without Burger King, Chipotle, Home Depot, and the now defunct Bed Bath and Beyond? Come on...seriously? Please feel the dripping sarcasm.

[@tdiddle8950]

Isn't it that to feel alive one must be connected to that which brings life?
