There's some new faces on Free Range Sailing! Yes, we do meet people sometimes even if our first introduction is at 2am in the morning! I recently lost my voice, so that's why we have Troy doing all the voiceovers this episode. Hope you all like this one as much as I enjoyed editing it. Cheers friends, Pascale
What an interesting person Roland is. He looks like animated mahogany wood. Like if he stood in one place too long, he would grow roots and leaves and live 500 years.
I know this is ancient history for you guys but I'm new to your channel so catching up. I'd just like to say thank you for showing others the wonderful indigenous people of our amazing home. That was truly one of the most special moments I have ever seen on YT. Fair winds guys, I'm already hooked on your adventures.
Really enjoyed your interaction with the Aboriginal people. It was neat to watch his search for turtle eggs. As always love your fishing. Your vids are unique. Not just a bunch of sailing and then wondering around town. We love the outdoors, so thanks for sharing your travels.
I agree with how y’all handled the 2am meeting. We all know how sh@t just happens. Situations that do everyone best, acknowledge our human oneness. After all we are all pink inside while ‘living in this dimension’. We non-aboriginals would do well to learn from everyone, especially those whom have maintained their ancestors ancient knowledge by living those ways. Much respect for all is best way.
Roland reminds me of the stick figures depicted on the rocks. Which makes me think the artists found themselves as amazing as all the other parts of their/our natural world. As it goes for all of us. We're born and we go, "What the hell? What is this all about? It's all so amazing!".
Another Outstanding episode of from our favorite free rangers. So good. Chocked full of knowledge, new lands, new people, new & delicious food ideas, fishing and boat gear. All packaged very expertly in a neat video.Thank you so much!
I recently learned that sea turtles sometimes lay spacer eggs that help regulate the temperature of the nest. They don't have a yolk. Perhaps that is what was found. Love your videos. Very cool.
First, you guys rock, thanks for sharing so much of your lives with us. Your honesty and openness is really evident in your vids. Can’t wait to see where the wind takes us next. You guys are the gold bombers of you tube! Thanks for letting us vicariously through you to inch just a tiny bit away from the rat race for a little while each week.
Probably in my top 5 episodes. I absolutely love your channel, keep up the good work 👍👍. You should send those old lures to subscribers /patreons. Good to you guys
Another fabulous view into a better approach of living! Thank you, Thank you,! Was impressed by the loop and safety slip knot. Who'd a thunk it. Great job! Time to hone up my skills a bit. Also a worthy mention to how you handled your 2 a.m. visitors. Kindness goes a long ways and in turn, quite the education..... great trade, aye? As always, hold the course.... living vicariously through you guys!
I loved the illustration on how you get up the mast. Safe and logical. I also enjoyed Pascale's cooking, and her overall good nature. You're lucky to have her onboard...thanks for sharing!
My wife is from Ft Smith, it's crazy to hear you so far away talk about a bait from there. Also, and ashamed to admit it, I use zip ties all the time and never thought of combining them. I could have used that trick a couple of weeks ago. Feel a little dumb for not thinking of it, but you have helped that one soul! Thanks.
I really like your mast climbing gear idea Troy....it makes single handedness a bit safer too. The visit with Rolland (sp) was very interesting and though a man of few words, was a likable guy. More great camera work by Pascale, the Gal with the ultra steady hands! Thanks once again for another interesting episode!!
Thanks Ed. Meeting Roland and Dominique was a real pleasure and while we would have enjoyed more time with them, it was a great way to say farewell to the Northern Territory.
Interesting that your prussic is the same diameter or slightly larger than the main halyard. My training has schooled me to use a prussic rope at least 2 or 3 mm smaller than the main rope, in this case the halyard. The reason being is that the smaller diameter prussic is able to encircle and grab the main line in the event of a fall. I really enjoy your free range sailing episodes. Thanks for making your adventures available.
No, you're right, that is standard practice. For a backup here, it works but for making footloops and really leaning onto them a smaller diameter is required.
Living on a farm, we were up to speed with cable ties! Everything sailing related after that we were at a newbie level!!! Keep the knowledge coming! One day when we get rain and fill up the dam, we can put our new skills to the test!!!
Yeah, y'all have become my Favorite Sailing channel, simply by being REAL.I'm not any sort of a Foodie, but I will sit and Watch Pascale cook, even stuff I wouldn't eat if I was starving.(Veggies! YUUUCK!) I like the fishing segments a LOT, Troy, cause my Dad never had the time to teach me about it.( Always Working). I can CATCH 'em, but what do you do THEN? sort of thing,lol. And I really like your Boat Upkeep segments, and your explanations. I'm VERY Mechanically inclined, so that's always good, just now getting into boats, so I prefer to get MY Learning from an EXPERIENCED Sailor/Mechanic. I was in Perth and Freo back in '85, Loved it. Always said if I ever left the States, look for me in Oz.
Just found your channel today. Very refreshing, real & informative. Please keep passing on the knowledge, no matter how small.... i.e. From cleaning a fish to climbing the mast to check the rigging. PS. Subscribed!
Y'all got it going on! Always better knowing you got each other's back. Retired floating luers make great key floats with memories. Wishing yall safe travels and exciting adventures!
It's not what you know,but who you know with those Arnhem Land permits. It's been said before,but I'll say it again.Pascale,your laugh is infectious,l love it😊And the "raw balls"sound like they are to die for,yummm👍 Troy,I'm going to have to go back and watch again,and see if I can see that knot you used,that's amazing 😊 Another great episode,thanks😊
i love the loop idea first saw a loop in action in new guinea they make a loop out of coconut fronds to climb coconut trees stretched between there feet and leap frog up the trunks
Great work guys! Production is getting better each episode. Thank god some aussies are being natural for a change. Reminiscent of Les Hiddins aka the bush Tucker man! (Gen X and older would understand)
Nice to see the maintenance to the fishing reel drag paying off! Another superb video, it's a shame you guys couldn't get more shore time due to regs. It's not as though you'd be introducing any of the locals to drink!
Oh man I thought the Prussik knot had been forgotten! I just recorded a similar segment going up our mast before and after installing steps and using the trusty old knot for safety! Thanks again for another great episode so cool to see interaction with indigenous peoples and their deep understanding of nature around you even if it means 2am spontaneous conversations
That guy was cool, reminded me of the guy in Crocodile Dundee! You can learn so much from people that live off the land. Sure wish they'd make another one of those movies.
Hi you two, another awesome episode ... you strike a perfect balance - ‘infotainment’ - and generously share your seagoing lives, at one with your surroundings and with each other. Six years in NZ gave me some fascinating insights into ‘first people’ and helped me to revise my own understanding of what transpired when the Crown first arrived Down Under ... and what has happened in the generations since. Can’t change 250 years, but can build new relationships in humility. Your respect for the locals and their culture was evidently reciprocated by Roland. Go, you. Also, re mast-climbing, like many others I regularly go aloft to check on stuff. My mast ladder is a series of webbing loops (‘rungs’) fixed to a rope spine on sliders that is hoisted up the mainsail track on the main halliard. It saves the windage aloft from fixed rungs, though it means I have to take the mainsail luff sliders out of the track first. When I climb aloft I use the main topping lift as a safety line, either tended by my crew or - if alone - I take the tail up with me and secure it before starting any work. And, oh yes, I did know about that trick with the cable ties, but I thought it was *my* Thing. 🤣 Finally for now, really loving Pascale’s chocolate recipe ... thank you! ... and indeed all her cooking! What’s *your* culinary speciality, Troy? Asking for a friend. 😎
Roland was pretty happy we were familiar with a few native plant resources and that we had obviously listened to a few aboriginal fellas about the bush before. He and Dominique were top blokes. Our mast ladder is also another chafe point in broad reaches and running so it is handy but not ideal. I've yet to find a compromise free boat! My culinary speciality is recognising a talented gourmet and heaping lavish praise on each tasty dish. I'm more the take it from it's wild form and prepare it for transformation into something wonderful but I have rivalled Pascale in the gourmet popcorn field.
Just found your channel,and it’s by far the best sailing channel out there, you are doing exactly what I want to do and should be soon as I’ve just bought a 32ft Camper and Nicholson, called Molly Reynolds. She is being refitted in the Uk, ( new rigging ) etc then hopefully setting off around October to sail home to Darwin then around Oz, good luck, can’t wait for the next episode x
Yahoo! That sounds like an excellent way to spend your time. What a great voyage. Well, hope you keep enjoying our show till you cast of the lines- good luck!
I spotted you as a ropey a few episodes ago. ;) Can always tell eh. Trad, sport, aid, industrial roping, outdoor ed, public safety and rescue. Love it all.
Have recently begun watching several sailing adventure series. Yours is by far the most enjoyable, and informative. Thanks for sharing, have learned a lot.
Y'all just keep on making great videos one after another, and I can't wait for the next one , oh by the way Troy I live in Arkansas and you need to send that old Bomber back to Arkansas and maybe they will send you a bunch of new ones you never know. Thanks for the ride along!!
Great insight into some of the locals. Watching him dig for turtle eggs was not something I had thought of. Previously working on Barrow Island we were forbidden to go anywhere near the beach during egg laying season and digging for eggs would have been instant dismissal. I'm heading off alone so I was interested to see your mast climbing technique is the same as what I have come up with. Thanks for sharing.
Just when a lure seems to become a favorite...it gets loved to death by fish teeth. Have you tried Yo-zuri lures? Those and a thing called a Pearl Bomber are the go-to lures for my striped bass charters. They are so effective, I usually remove the forward hook just to make it easier to get fish off and the lure back in the water.
I used to love the Yo-Zuri crankin' shad after a friend showed them to me but they seem to have disappeared. I'll see if your recommendation is in a tackle store soon. We're moving into spear fishing country now.
Hope you get well soon Pascale, I have used the double tie raps many times. Love your willingness to share with the locals. Did they give you permission to scout around on shore?
A seriously serious sailing channel, not as dreamy as the many other sailing channels I follow. I foresee your' channel boooming if you continue with your informative format (fish on the line are always good) love you guys... thanks for the upload.
Thank you very much. Funding this show has chewed into our cruising funds quite a bit so you are making future episodes possible. We hope to keep you excited about the journey. T&P
Another awesome episode this week .. I enjoyed having a peek into the going's on in that part of the world .. very interesting ... We always look forward to every new instalment of Free Range Sailing.... Time well spent i say ,, good luck you two and.... Cheers
I love how you guys map it out for us in the intro ,such great editing. Just curious, who does most of the editing cause you guys are really dialiting in proper. Pascal, you're so funny and the way you really get into things is great as always makes me laugh. Cheers you two!
Pascale is editor in chief though I'll do the how- to vids and we make decisions about each episode together. This one is all her baby as we are in different parts of the country right now.
Amazing again Troy and Pascale. Meeting the locals at 2am must have been a bit scary at first, but what breadth of knowledge they have about the bush. You can just tell how they’ve grown up with traditional knowledge and keeping their culture alive. Now you have a traditionally made spear! I hope there’s a cool spot in Mirool to hang it or are you going to use it (or do both of course)? I must try out that damper recipe Pascale, it looked delicious. I’m looking forward to the Gulf crossing. SFR
There's some new faces on Free Range Sailing! Yes, we do meet people sometimes even if our first introduction is at 2am in the morning! I recently lost my voice, so that's why we have Troy doing all the voiceovers this episode. Hope you all like this one as much as I enjoyed editing it. Cheers friends, Pascale
Get well soon Pascale.
It is different for everyone so we don't really want to give advice on it.
Roland's super cool such great knowledge. Love to learn the local environment from someone who has so much experience .🙂
What an interesting person Roland is. He looks like animated mahogany wood. Like if he stood in one place too long, he would grow roots and leaves and live 500 years.
What a unique experience you had that very few people will ever have. Tears of joy
I know this is ancient history for you guys but I'm new to your channel so catching up. I'd just like to say thank you for showing others the wonderful indigenous people of our amazing home. That was truly one of the most special moments I have ever seen on YT. Fair winds guys, I'm already hooked on your adventures.

What a treat to get to spend the day with Roland and his family!
Didn't hang out with his family but Dominique was a cool guy too. Didn't get to see his spear prowess because Pas had the only camera that day.
Well done Troy, you never underestimate what people might not know, Thank you
Little things can make a big difference.
Another Outstanding episode of from our favorite free rangers. So good. Chocked full of knowledge, new lands, new people, new & delicious food ideas, fishing and boat gear. All packaged very expertly in a neat video.Thank you so much!
Thanks RJ. We were really happy to be able to share our meeting with some traditional land owners. Let's hope it's not the last!
Truly amazing video. Thank you for sharing with us. So much to learn from our indigenous friends.
So authoritative, without once being hectoring or declamatory, as a result of which I am turned on not off.
I am that 1 person you helped with that bit of information!!
first rate adventuring as usual. loved the fishing and not afraid of the mast with all the back-up rigging.
I recently learned that sea turtles sometimes lay spacer eggs that help regulate the temperature of the nest. They don't have a yolk. Perhaps that is what was found. Love your videos. Very cool.
That's an interesting bit of info. I know the temperature determines the sex of the offspring.
First, you guys rock, thanks for sharing so much of your lives with us. Your honesty and openness is really evident in your vids. Can’t wait to see where the wind takes us next. You guys are the gold bombers of you tube! Thanks for letting us vicariously through you to inch just a tiny bit away from the rat race for a little while each week.
Thanks Dan, next vid is the crossing to Queensland (home for me).
Free Range Sailing can’t wait to see her under sail for a few days.
Wow what an awesome and authentic documentary, if Roland became anymore laid back he be lying down!
You’re moving to the top of my sailing channel list quickly. Love the fishing action and the adventurous discovering! Thanks for sharing with us!
Cheers David.
You two are an inspiration to me
Probably in my top 5 episodes. I absolutely love your channel, keep up the good work 👍👍. You should send those old lures to subscribers /patreons. Good to you guys
Haha we were wondering whether our patrons might want an old lure! They've all got their own war stories...
Your videos are a wealth of knowledge. I'm looking forward to your next adventure.
Another interesting video, respect for indigenous people is always good to see. Safe travels. RR
I'm surprised you don't dry some fish, hard to beat with beer....Ocean candy!...I love dried pollack.
soft spoken Roland, so much knowledge. Shared.
Another fabulous view into a better approach of living! Thank you, Thank you,! Was impressed by the loop and safety slip knot. Who'd a thunk it. Great job! Time to hone up my skills a bit. Also a worthy mention to how you handled your 2 a.m. visitors. Kindness goes a long ways and in turn, quite the education..... great trade, aye?
As always, hold the course.... living vicariously through you guys!
Thanks Chip and yes, the world is too small a place to act with anything less than a bit of decency. Pays off most of the time
I loved the illustration on how you get up the mast. Safe and logical. I also enjoyed Pascale's cooking, and her overall good nature. You're lucky to have her onboard...thanks for sharing!
much respect to you both helping the local fellas & being very respectful to their ways!
My wife is from Ft Smith, it's crazy to hear you so far away talk about a bait from there. Also, and ashamed to admit it, I use zip ties all the time and never thought of combining them. I could have used that trick a couple of weeks ago. Feel a little dumb for not thinking of it, but you have helped that one soul! Thanks.
Yes! Glad someone found it useful!
It's a small world after all.
Your life is a joy to watch. You are giving the world a most unique insight into a very special part of Australia and it’s people. Thank you!
I really like your mast climbing gear idea Troy....it makes single handedness a bit safer too. The visit with Rolland (sp) was very interesting and though a man of few words, was a likable guy. More great camera work by Pascale, the Gal with the ultra steady hands! Thanks once again for another interesting episode!!

i have watched a lot of these sailing vids and it is great to see some real Aussie sailing.
Thanks for sharing how you get up and down the mast. It is always nice to see other options.
Great Vid like the input of Roland
Star of the show.
You guys get a thumbs up 👍🏻before I watch every video.
Awesome stuff ! Enjoyed the video. take care and hope to see you on the water one day! Kind Regards Sailing Lady Africa
I enjoy you guys ..
Just found your channel today. Very refreshing, real & informative. Please keep passing on the knowledge, no matter how small.... i.e. From cleaning a fish to climbing the mast to check the rigging. PS. Subscribed!
We're very happy to have you with us, welcome aboard.
Raw Balls ha ha , gee the look on her face was priceless lol . Gee you have a way with words . Take Care , Cheers
Crook jokes are a way of life on Mirrool
Ya ok lol
Great to see the interaction with the locals 👍 and more good knowledge being shared! 👍!! Good stuff guys!
Cheers NICCAT
Y'all got it going on! Always better knowing you got each other's back. Retired floating luers make great key floats with memories. Wishing yall safe travels and exciting adventures!
Hey Troy i am that "one person" you thought of re the cable ties - thanks mate!
Haha. Great!
It's not what you know,but who you know with those Arnhem Land permits.
It's been said before,but I'll say it again.Pascale,your laugh is infectious,l love it😊And the "raw balls"sound like they are to die for,yummm👍
Troy,I'm going to have to go back and watch again,and see if I can see that knot you used,that's amazing 😊
Another great episode,thanks😊
Prussic knot or loop if you want to see it's history. Thanks for joining in.
Free Range Sailing ,thanks Troy😀
Thank you for your authentic adventures. Love ya guys. Maybe someday catch you out there.
Let's hope so! Thanks Richard.
Funny guys awe we all have those nights lol.
Indeed we do.
Best thing on the internet
Your visitors at night made me laugh. I love how you friends can read the land. Thank you for the lessons. Love the video.
Loved the rig check.
i love the loop idea first saw a loop in action in new guinea they make a loop out of coconut fronds to climb coconut trees stretched between there feet and leap frog up the trunks
Something we would like to learn and experiment with for sure.
Great work guys! Production is getting better each episode. Thank god some aussies are being natural for a change. Reminiscent of Les Hiddins aka the bush Tucker man! (Gen X and older would understand)
Les the legend. I loved those series when they came out. (Naturally)
Nice to see the maintenance to the fishing reel drag paying off! Another superb video, it's a shame you guys couldn't get more shore time due to regs. It's not as though you'd be introducing any of the locals to drink!
Thats alright Ted- its always nicer to be invited into someones home. Plenty of open country in the rest of Oz!
Oh man I thought the Prussik knot had been forgotten! I just recorded a similar segment going up our mast before and after installing steps and using the trusty old knot for safety! Thanks again for another great episode so cool to see interaction with indigenous peoples and their deep understanding of nature around you even if it means 2am spontaneous conversations
Roland has an awesome life and so do you two
Thanks guys love your videos thanks for showing great respect to the traditional owners of the land. So much wisdom to learn from them.
That guy was cool, reminded me of the guy in Crocodile Dundee! You can learn so much from people that live off the land. Sure wish they'd make another one of those movies.
He was really cool. Always pointing out flights of birds, little stories, a great teacher. He had a very quietly happy manner to him.
Yea, a great person to know! Hope you'll stay friends with him and see him again.
awesome ,,,,, that looks like a great way to go up the mast ,, I like the safety line on the main halyard ,,,
Works really well. I adapted it from solo sailing.
I'm a bit envious of those climbing steps.
I think the pros outweigh their cons. Very handy but also pretty easy to make.
Hi you two, another awesome episode ... you strike a perfect balance - ‘infotainment’ - and generously share your seagoing lives, at one with your surroundings and with each other. Six years in NZ gave me some fascinating insights into ‘first people’ and helped me to revise my own understanding of what transpired when the Crown first arrived Down Under ... and what has happened in the generations since. Can’t change 250 years, but can build new relationships in humility. Your respect for the locals and their culture was evidently reciprocated by Roland. Go, you. Also, re mast-climbing, like many others I regularly go aloft to check on stuff. My mast ladder is a series of webbing loops (‘rungs’) fixed to a rope spine on sliders that is hoisted up the mainsail track on the main halliard. It saves the windage aloft from fixed rungs, though it means I have to take the mainsail luff sliders out of the track first. When I climb aloft I use the main topping lift as a safety line, either tended by my crew or - if alone - I take the tail up with me and secure it before starting any work. And, oh yes, I did know about that trick with the cable ties, but I thought it was *my* Thing. 🤣 Finally for now, really loving Pascale’s chocolate recipe ... thank you! ... and indeed all her cooking! What’s *your* culinary speciality, Troy? Asking for a friend. 😎
Roland was pretty happy we were familiar with a few native plant resources and that we had obviously listened to a few aboriginal fellas about the bush before. He and Dominique were top blokes.
Our mast ladder is also another chafe point in broad reaches and running so it is handy but not ideal. I've yet to find a compromise free boat!
My culinary speciality is recognising a talented gourmet and heaping lavish praise on each tasty dish. I'm more the take it from it's wild form and prepare it for transformation into something wonderful but I have rivalled Pascale in the gourmet popcorn field.
Just found your channel,and it’s by far the best sailing channel out there, you are doing exactly what I want to do and should be soon as I’ve just bought a 32ft Camper and Nicholson, called Molly Reynolds. She is being refitted in the Uk, ( new rigging ) etc then hopefully setting off around October to sail home to Darwin then around Oz, good luck, can’t wait for the next episode x
Yahoo! That sounds like an excellent way to spend your time. What a great voyage. Well, hope you keep enjoying our show till you cast of the lines- good luck!
Rig for rescue, love it. I'm a big advocate for that.
Spot the ropey!
I spotted you as a ropey a few episodes ago. ;) Can always tell eh. Trad, sport, aid, industrial roping, outdoor ed, public safety and rescue. Love it all.
This video shows respect and i felt so relaxed while viewing it! Looking forward to a new release already! Thanks, Ed
Love you two
You are a very lucky man. Be safe
awesome vlog, just discovered you guys! Really enjoyed to learn how the Aboriginal community search for bush tucker. Wish you guys nice sailing winds.
i LIKE YOUR SAFETY PROCEDURES.
Another great video kids.
You have answered my questions under "Essential Cruiser Reading List" ~ thanks.
Another great, enjoyable video, plus I learned the zip tie trick!
Love you guys. Was fun to meet Roland as well.
Another great video from the best sailing channel on UA-cam! Thanks!
Have recently begun watching several sailing adventure series. Yours is by far the most enjoyable, and informative. Thanks for sharing, have learned a lot.
Great episode.
Y'all just keep on making great videos one after another, and I can't wait for the next one , oh by the way Troy I live in Arkansas and you need to send that old Bomber back to Arkansas and maybe they will send you a bunch of new ones you never know. Thanks for the ride along!!
May be worth a shot- they got a bit of good advertising here that's for sure.
Excellent as usual,!!
Great insight into some of the locals. Watching him dig for turtle eggs was not something I had thought of. Previously working on Barrow Island we were forbidden to go anywhere near the beach during egg laying season and digging for eggs would have been instant dismissal. I'm heading off alone so I was interested to see your mast climbing technique is the same as what I have come up with. Thanks for sharing.
We wish we had more time with those two but they had somewhere to be and so did we. I came up with that climbing method during my solo days.
Just when a lure seems to become a favorite...it gets loved to death by fish teeth. Have you tried Yo-zuri lures? Those and a thing called a Pearl Bomber are the go-to lures for my striped bass charters. They are so effective, I usually remove the forward hook just to make it easier to get fish off and the lure back in the water.
I used to love the Yo-Zuri crankin' shad after a friend showed them to me but they seem to have disappeared. I'll see if your recommendation is in a tackle store soon.
We're moving into spear fishing country now.
Thanks for showing me the ropes.
Snap
Joining cable ties, yea we all know that, but climbing the mast.....now that got me thinking. Love your videos keep them coming 10/10.
I use braid on 1 of my spinming rods. Try using a blood knot, I haven't had any issues with this knot.
Thanks for another fine video could watch your videos all day
Cheers Alan.
Nice to see how you interacted with the locals, Too Many people miss out on that . Thanks for another well done video. Watching from the fl. Keys
Hope you get well soon Pascale, I have used the double tie raps many times. Love your willingness to share with the locals. Did they give you permission to scout around on shore?
Roland explained the boundaries of his part of the island and invited us to come ashore whenever we liked.
Another awesome video. thanks. Stay safe in Tropical Cyclone Marcus - although you may have already moved from its path.
Thanks Ron. We're safely over on the top of Queensland right now.
Very interesting, glad you two have each others back. Fair winds
Another awesome video
Great video thanks for sharing
Fish on baby...!!
A seriously serious sailing channel, not as dreamy as the many other sailing channels I follow.
I foresee your' channel boooming if you continue with your informative format (fish on the line are always good)
love you guys... thanks for the upload.
Cheers Andrew.
Naturally, another superb video.
Another great episode guys. Keep it up.
Nice Vlog guys. Felt a bit of a Croc Dundee moment at one point. Fair winds.
i think it is cool that your gov. looks after then who came 1st. to this land. over them who came later, cool videos cool stuff love your show.
and i must say the life of the them who live off the land be it the old one or then neww ones it is the same,
Yes, Roland wasn't set to die of stress any time soon. You could see he was perfectly at home and content in that land.
You guys are doing such nice camera work... might it be possible to do a short short on your equipment and how you use it?
A very enjoyable visit with both of you. Thanks
So impressed with your consistent content! Just signed up thru Patreon! Thank you!
Thank you very much. Funding this show has chewed into our cruising funds quite a bit so you are making future episodes possible. We hope to keep you excited about the journey. T&P
I know you made this video along time ago, but I still enjoyed.
Another awesome episode this week .. I enjoyed having a peek into the going's on in that part of the world .. very interesting ... We always look forward to every new instalment of Free Range Sailing.... Time well spent i say ,, good luck you two and.... Cheers
I love how you guys map it out for us in the intro ,such great editing. Just curious, who does most of the editing cause you guys are really dialiting in proper. Pascal, you're so funny and the way you really get into things is great as always makes me laugh. Cheers you two!
Pascale is editor in chief though I'll do the how- to vids and we make decisions about each episode together. This one is all her baby as we are in different parts of the country right now.
Amazing again Troy and Pascale. Meeting the locals at 2am must have been a bit scary at first, but what breadth of knowledge they have about the bush. You can just tell how they’ve grown up with traditional knowledge and keeping their culture alive. Now you have a traditionally made spear! I hope there’s a cool spot in Mirool to hang it or are you going to use it (or do both of course)? I must try out that damper recipe Pascale, it looked delicious. I’m looking forward to the Gulf crossing. SFR
No ones very scary when they sing out "hello- excuse me- hello?" I like hanging around with people like that.
Again, an AWSOME video. I learn more from what your videos then I do from all the documentary on PBS (our Public Broadcasting Service).
Thank you Geoff, it's nice to know our work is doing some good. (Boy, PBS need to lift their game!)
