The drone, Photography, video all exceptionally beautiful. These TOGEAN Islands are paradise. Glad to hear you spend good amount of time at these places. Wouldn't be worth a 2 or 3 day stop as so much to see and do. Great to see ELI enjoying himself and definitely a free ticket for you and Marie for having him around with you. You said not a lot of people know about this place or places like TOGEAN Islands and that's a good thing I think. If you start getting to many tourist coming and going it would definitely take away the beauty of this place. Again a wonderful video and a great story line cheers. Catch you next video
Yeah this sort of places deserves a longer stay for sure. We did meet another cruising couple though that only stayed 3 days then moved on. Long way to sail to then see basically nothing. Each to thier own though. Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks mate. Most people go to the Toga's for the diving. We did go underwater a lot but didnt film anything as our last GoPro died a couple weeks before we got there.
THx for the educational video. All new to me re Togean. Glad to know you guys are sticking fat with sailing. Videos are definitely improved. Will keep an eye open
I don’t often get the time to watch YT (you know what it’s like) but I’m so glad I made time for this episode today. It was a breath of fresh air ~ peaceful, cinematic and heartwarming 🤎 Such a beautiful episode. Loving this chapter of life for you, you both look like you’re in your elements! Eli is getting so big! How fortunate he is to be be growing up with so much culture and love. Thanks for sharing, guys! 🤍 Phoebe
@@Thenewkidsonthedock thanks Phoebe, yeah I feel ya. Finding time to watch other sailing videos when I should be editing my own… YT algorithm didn’t like this one at all so it’s good to hear you enjoyed it. Have fun you guys, give Josh a hug
@@SailingLearningByDoing Yes YT algo has been a bit of a dog lately. I hope this vid finds those that are yearning for a peaceful, picturesque vlog! It really was so bloody relaxing, felt like I was there along with you. You’re so talented, mate, and super inspiring for us. Hope to link up with you again soon and meet the new crew!
brilliant video-- amazing place-- it's on my list. Alas my 27 year old is no longer a baby, so I'll have to think of another way to interact. I do like your cat, it is in many ways the perfect cruising boat. Phil
Thanks Phil. Eli is our little golden ticket for sure. We could probably get away with bank robbery by holding him up, they all be like “awww, he so cute!!”
Dear Marie Vernon and Eli, again another great Utube Thanks. Your skills of Videography shows. In the spirit of Learning (my education) I have searched for people sailing in the Bismark Sea but have found none. Have you ever thought of visiting this area? Are there any reasons why not? Is there anyone you know of that has produced videos of this area? What are your comments please. Good health and fair winds to you all.
Hi Rick, glad you liked that video. I sailed through the north east parts of PNG back in 2018. I stayed in Kavieng a few days then sailed west along the top of PNG. Not many people sail up there, only a handful of boats each year. There have been some violence towards sailors in the past and that scares many off.
Nice vid! Great to hear you loving life and exploring together.Some beautiful photography in this episode, loved the blue flowing water and the drone shots. Sounds like the drone is also a useful navigation aid in the shallows. Nice seeing you embed into the local communities and give us a flavor of their lifestyle !
@@deemad2180 we felt the prices were fine, slightly more than the mainland but that’s normal as it all needs to be shipped out. $26 for a weeks fruit and vege? We get the same prices as everyone else.
Beautiful place i was there a few years ago . But was disappointed about the condition of many of the coral reefs. Unauna island is really cool , are you heading there ?
Hi from Türkiye.We love you. 🥰
Thanks. Greeting from Sulawesi

Thank you so much
siick drone shots!
@@dimml0r thanks!
No drones or babies' chins were harmed during the making of this film. 😅 Enjoyed it very much, Vernon, Marie and Eli!
Eli has escaped injury on his adventures so far, I can see some bruises in the future though. Drones have so far this year stayed dry
Absolument magnifique !
🙏❤️
Merci beaucoup ! C’était vraiment un chouette archipel et on était contents de retrouver des journées ensoleillées ☀️
@@marie-morganerousselin2352 J'imagine oui. Gros bisous à Elichou le plus beau des bébés, la mascotte locale, qui refuse le 4 pattes !
Love you, Eli! ❤️
You are back to many beautiful photos again, great tank you.
@@matslindblom3368 cheers Mats
Hehe yes, this can of landscapes are definitely inspiring for Vernon
The shots of Marie and Eli on the wharf are really good...
Thank you! Yes I love them too! Thanks for watching 😊
Come on, both of them are basically models, hard for me to mes that up. 😁
Eli is such a blessing. Little man puts a smile on my face
Ours too! He’s a good wee chap.
He is a cutie ☺️
The production on this was superb. I love the commentary and camera work. You’ve really put a lot of effort in. Thanks!!
@@AdventureYachtSeaMonkey thanks mate. Looking forward to editing the Ruang video.
Those islands are incredibly beautiful and Eli definitely is your golden ticket!
They are! Eli is a star for sure but that can be a bit of a hassle sometimes as well. Indonesians are incredibly nice
Fantastic drone footage. Amazing work
Thanks, I try.
very nice episode
🙏
Switched it up on us Vernon. More time on land, absolutely epic, fantastic video and thank you for editing and sharing.
I appreciate it.
Thanks mate. Most people go to the Toga's for the diving. We did go underwater a lot but didnt film anything as our last GoPro died a couple weeks before we got there.
12:45 wow youre good. I can see the photographer in you
Thanks.
Spectacular scenery. The advantages of a boat, the way to go in places like that. We’re glad you had some enjoyable time there.😄
We agree! There was some really nice places on Malengi Island that we couldn't visit though as it was too exposed and way too deep to anchor.
THx for the educational video. All new to me re Togean. Glad to know you guys are sticking fat with sailing. Videos are definitely improved. Will keep an eye open
Thanks Timo.
Thank you for watching 😊
that really looked something different and beautiful, never heard of the area, such good photography
@@hthring thanks! We tried a little less vlog style. Glad you liked it.
Indonesians are some of the nicest people.
It is so true !
@@kodiak7 that’s for sure. Love the people here.
much love
I have to say you have amazing footage. What an amazing lifestyle for your son.
Thanks Tammy. We want to bring Eli up with an appreciation for adventures, different cultures. Only hope we can continue until he can remember it.
What a great inro. Still watching, but had to stop by comment real quick.
You all touch the adventure side of me.
Thank you for that!
Our pleasure!
Very nice production fascinating cheers
Many thanks!
Another amazing video such a wonderful area to share with us! Thank you!
@@ricorichmond8214 thanks mate, amazing place.
Thanks
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
Wow, nice of you! Thanks
An excellent video... very much appreciated.. 🙂👍
Oh thanks for watching
We appreciate your time. 🙏
awesome place. thanks for sharing.
Thank you, we really enjoyed our time there !
Youre welcome
Beautifully shot, edited and narrated, guys. Thanks for the update.
We are glad you liked it 😊thanks for watching
Our pleasure
Those groceries in the USA would cost about $100
Yes, and it is the price from a place that they have to import everything from the mainland, so we can’t complain for sure !
@@marie-morganerousselin2352 Is the USA ripping us off then? What are grocery prices in Australia compared to the USA?
Yeah I reckon thats about right.

Pet 🐓😅
This is so cool ! The only pet I would accept aboard 😂
Eli...😘
Abit pricey for the shopping. Do you find they rip you off because you're not a local or is it the same price for locals?

Beautiful place i was there a few years ago . But was disappointed about the condition of many of the coral reefs. Unauna island is really cool , are you heading there ?
Yeah the coral we saw was in pretty good condition but a severe lack of fish, turtles etc.
