- Maloelap Atoll is such and interesting place to visit! There is hundreds of WW2 relics, everywhere. There are canons, houses, bullets, aircrafts on shore and such interesting snorkeling on old war ships. If we had more time we could probably spend months on these motu islands and still see new fascinating things every day.

Wow this was really cool.
Great video, thank you! No need to apologize, things happen and you just have to carry on. Anybody who can handle losing their rudder at sea certainly knows that!!
A beautiful documentary of what we’ve done to each other thru Hate.. We fight not knowing that we Are all sisters and brothers who are destined to leave this world going out the way we came in no matter what we’ve Tried to take from one another... (we leave here with nothing except if we leave here with Love in our hearts! That is the ONLY Thing we Can Gather that we Are Allowed to leave this Earth with... I just hope those men who Died in these wars who fought each other in these mighty ships and plane that they’ve left behind here in these waters of sea were Blessed to Have LOVE!)
this is the coolest Job ever on earth. Keep safe to both of you.
Very beautiful 😃
Thanks very nice and inspiring video this one.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Mrs. Hilma, great job describing what happened during the war your well spoken! 🙏🏻
The inhabitants and relics were worth enduring the less then ideal sailing conditions to get here. Good one!
Thank u for the beautiful video... A sad reminder of what humans can do when at war. Shame all this can't be preserved some how better for future generations...
Awesome video, sailing in these very remote areas is very challenging but immensely rewarding. Well done.
Thank you for a great video with excellent content and narration. Keep having fun and fair winds.
Great video guys, its amazing to think that that kind of fighting took place on such a beautiful island.
Great episode ! :) thank you,
What a great video, Thank you.
Take care.
Kwajalein atoll in the Marshall Islands bigges atoll in the world , why not..

Wow looks so fun!
It was! Fascinating and interesting but also sad. Strange feeling when you think about it. We hope you’ll go there too and think you will find it as interesting 😃🤗⛵️
My first look at one of your videos, very nicely done!👌😊
Thank you and welcome! 😀
very nice!
Thanks for sharing guys,sometimes the wind and the current are against you no matter what you do,but you got there in the end,and more importantly,safely 👍
As much as all these relics,the gun installations,bunkers and fortresses,busted up aircraft,and sunken ships are very interesting to explore,war and it’s atrocities are a sad reality,as I’m sure you agree.Best wishes for 2020🙂
Yes, sometimes the weather and the ocean is tricky but there is not much to do than to be careful and patient.🤗
Yes, we agree very much. War is always sad. 😞 best wishes back to you!
Many people didn't know Japaneses did just same as Germany did in Europe. Very sad but interesting video.
Cool episode 👌
Nice
Thank you for posting these! They remind me of my days in the US Peace Corps. I was based on Tarawa, and in your Tarawa video, you actually drove past where I lived and worked !! I hadn't seen those places in years . . .
I would like to make a very strong safety recommendation : I notice that you wear open toed footwear: flip flops when you are climbing around sharp surfaces, like coral and wrecked boats. Please, please, please don't do this! In my 2 years out there, I saw many colleagues scrape or cut their feet - ever so slightly. In that climate and with the tendency to go in and out of the water regularly, it is a great way to develop a serious and very painful infection that takes months to clear.
I saw this happen again and again, and I was gasping and wincing watching you guys climb over all that rusty sharp-edged metal and coral.
May I suggest very strongly that whenever you are ashore, you wear something that covers your feet and toes - a reef runner type of shoe. Something that will protect your toes and heels from being scraped. Your skin is the battle ground, and your feet are precious. You can't sail if you are limping around with an infected foot. If you break your skint, in those latitudes, you MUST cover it and treat with antibiotics immediately before things get out of hand, like I witnessed many times. Up in the high latitudes, (North America, Scandinavia) you can get away without doing this because the cold water keeps the bugs down. Tropical waters are breeding grounds for them.You can get scrapes on the outside and back of your foot that you don't see or choose to ignore in norther waters, that will most certainly become infected and very painful in tropical waters. Then you're out of action for days.
I know it's time consuming and frustrating to put proper footwear on each time when you're eager to get ashore, but compare that to the time and pain of mending a cut or seeing to an infection, and it's really a sensible investment of time.
Very rough ! How deep was it generally ? I enjoyed the tour of the island and the children so sweet
Most of the atoll had 60 meters of depth, which is about 180 feet (I think) so in general it was deep. Many of The coral heads are just by the surface though so that’s the scary thing. In the pass we had almost 30 meters but on our sides it was only 3-5 meters (9-15 feet) so we stayed in the middle and then we took the route that seemed to have less coral heads according to the charts and google maps, which is really great in the Pacific! You can actually see a lot of the shallow areas there. :)
mainsail under reef may balance things ? easier on the helm...
The penetration holes in the concrete roof structures were probably not made by aircraft bombs but by 40 cm canon shells fired from battle ships. Maloelap Atoll wasn't invaded like Tarawa. After being fully military neutralized and totally cut off it served as naval target practice area for the US Navy. Most of the Japanese that weren't blown to bits died of starvation before Japan surrendered in 1945.
Nice video! I imagine it would have been a beautiful spot before the Japanese overtook the place
For a long time there was no video from you. sometimes you don’t even know who cares about you. I am very worried about you, although I am in Russia) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you)
We do care but it takes a long time to Edit one video and we try do keep them coming as fast as we can.:) Now we will sail for serveral weeks again and we will try to release a new one when we reach shore. Thank you for thinking about us.🤗 we have Facebook, Instagram and our HomePage too and there we post things more often. 🤗 take care!
@@HilmaSailing In Russia, on the night of January 17th, we always swim in the ice hole, where it works. This is called Krschen bathing. for Christ was baptized on the 17th. I normally bathed at night in the cold) energy charge for a year in front! what I wish you)
seven feet under the keel) and never again break the rudders
Äntligen video med segling o inte massa promenader på öar, tummar upp
Norwegians?
So basically USA took a big dump on the Island shocker
No nimrod, the United States preserved your right to make asinine comments....😏
@@clifflong1203nothing asinine about the truth.
Your comment shows either ignorance or disregard of the history. The Japanese had militarily colonized through much of the Pacific and treated the native populations quite harshly. The islanders were used as slaves (an other unmentionable uses) even shipping them out to other places to be used as slave labor to support the Japanese military onslaught. Because of occupation, the Marshallese did know why the war came to their islands. It was not only the U.S. but the Commonwealth countries which fought to wrest control away from the Japanese. The Allied forces were kind to the islanders.
