  • Where massive mountains meet deep dark ocean...our little boat glides swiftly along to the head of Princess Louisa Inlet (Swiwelát) - the deep fiord located in the ancestral territory of the shíshálh (Sechelt) Nation on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia.
    🏔Dwarfed on all sides by gigantic granite walls that rise sharply from the water’s edge to heights in excess of 2100 meters (7000 ft).
    Almost completely enclosed, the Inlet is 300 meters (1000 ft) deep.
    There is no place to anchor. No public road, no cell service, no fuel station, no restaurant or store to buy food. The only way to arrive here is by boat or plane. This is our destination.
    Join us this week as we cruise 70nm into the remote reaches of BC's coastal fjords to gaze glaciers from our cockpit ⛵️

    WHO WE ARE
    We are a couple from opposite sides of the world living an adventure based-alternative lifestyle here in the Pacific Northwest.
    Our time is spent split between land & sea - living part time in our tiny home on wheels (a vintage Airstream that we converted completely ourselves) as well as living aboard our tiny home with sails ( a Catalina 30 that we've been restoring while teaching ourselves how to sail!).

    OUR STORY
    • First Step Towards Mak...
    I (Allison, the Newfie) met James (the Aussie) while working on a remote island 3 years ago.
    A decade working in healthcare has helped us both to appreciate the preciousness of this one beautiful life we've been given.
    Viewing TIME as our most valuable gift, we've been feeling an urgency in our lives to Live All Out!
    We decided to make some BOLD moves, hit PAUSE on our conventional careers & work full time, turning our DREAMS into reality.
    The past 12 months we have been working towards making full-time adventure possible. The first step was downsizing and minimizing our lives to fit into a 160ft. Airstream trailer which we converted completely ourselves without any experience.
    Living full time in our tiny home on wheels created the financial freedom we needed to take the next big step, buying our sailboat!
    She's another big project, but we're ready for another challenge. And we're pretty motivated by all the amazing ocean adventures
    that lie ahead!

    Does anyone else have silly but equally serious boat superstitions? For us, NO BANANAS on board, and sighting whales is always a good omen!

    ohhh myyy, how beautiful! I'd think I'd want to sleep out on deck. And what a great capture of the eagle swimming/catching/eating his meal!

    Appears like you’re all alone though. It’s my new Zen video ♥️

  • @bobschick2943

    I've been rewatching your older videos (it's a good lunchbreak activity at work) and I am still amazed at your "story telling" - just beautiful!

    Having lived & worked in Vancouver ('88-'94) I am feeling the pull of the mountains watching this video. You've definitely captured the majesty & serenity. Thanx for reigniting my gratitute for our beautiful country! Oh Canada!

    Great to see the continuing journey. Great food and music and of course the percussion instrument in the back ground, same note and steady rhythm. See you next week.

    Malibu Rapids and area is a magnificent place! Beautiful sail guys ⛵️😎

    Hi, I stumbled upon your channel yesterday, have now watched all of your sailing experience, great videos and looking forward to many more. Aussies are becoming more involved in sailing UA-cam which is great to see

  • @alexjh47

    Yes! So glad to see you call securite going through the rapids. I had a close call with a sailboat heading up Malidu rapids as we were exiting. They didn't hear our securite and didn't call as they entered.

    The shot of the Bald Eagle was fantastic!! My family and I went skiing at Whistler for Christmas long ago. Beautiful!! I’m sure enjoying your videos 🥰

    WOW - So spectacular. What an adventure. I know it was a lot of work, but you have had so many firsts and showed how, when you put a plan into action, you have the world at your finger tips. I loved seeing the eagle swiming with the fish. What is next?

  • @barberamcisaac1633
    @barberamcisaac1633 Рік тому +2

    Wow that eagle. Pulled the fish right out of the water. You guys are so fortunate to live in spectacular sailing grounds. We’re definitely coming for a visit. Amazing!

    Really enjoying these videos, guys. I'd love to see some more footage of the actual preparation for trips like this along with watching you guys handle the boat while under sail. In my opinion, some of the best and most entertaining aspects of sailing videos are the seemingly mundane and regular occurrences during the day; tacking, trimming sails, planning routes, leaving marinas & mooring, cooking, hanging out, etc... (the piloting/mast climbing episode was perfect in this way) I'd love to see more of those candid scenes in with your productions. The quality of your content is super high but I'd love to see more of your thought processes and decision making. It makes for immersive video. :)

    Your channel is truly inspiring! You both are reaping such wonderful benefits from all your hard work and determination. Cheers and congrats. I gotta get out there. So amazing.

    I am dying over the mountains 🥰😍 so many beautiful shots too, amazing job! I shared your last video with my mom and we watched it together. She loves Princess Louisa Inlet (Swiwelát), she used to sail in her 20s but hasn't been. Haven't gotten to that part in the video yet & I'm excited to share this one with her. I'm this close to moving to BC and working from home... I want to visit so bad!
