You’re passion for adventure is unsurpassed, Mathilde and Nick. I couldn’t have done that sail boat crossing but appreciate having been taken along with you. I’m almost sea sick having observed the process. Photography is phenomenal, as usual! Glad you had a safe transit.
I wanted to jump in so badly with you all. Tropical beaches and snorkeling...whst a life, what an adventure!!! welcome to the southern part of Turtle Island.
I have been lucky enough to get to sail a lot and found that the more I sailed the better I enjoyed the open ocean ,( but like you not at first ,it grows on you ) great video again you two . Enjoyed it very much thanks again for sharing your your wonderful travel memories with us all your over landing friends . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) 🌎🍻👍🏼😁
Thanks for sharing! Yes mathilde sailed several times and really enjoy it. It was a first for nick so maybe in the future ! Have a good weekend Steve !
That is a very appealing trip. Wow, that is definitely something I would sign up for. One more amazing adventure to add to your already impressive trip.
Great episode! Loved the underwater shots with all the fish - and sharks! 😮 Nice way to travel around the Darien - a change from flying. Slower pace, even if it involves having to take anti seasickness pills (that would be me, I get sea sick very quickly!!). All the best for your South American travels. Hope it’s fun! 😊
The Caribbean takes in a large area and includes a lot of countries and Tropical Islands. The weather is warm year-round and the water is always warm and beautiful. I spent many decades swimming and snorkeling and traveling the various Islands from South Florida, the various Caribbean islands to Caribbean Mexico and no matter where I was it was always stunning with the most beautiful beaches. I bet you did not know that Florida has over 5,000 Tropical Islands off the coast and most everyone of them is uninhabited with palm trees and turquoise Waters and White Sands. The Caribbean is one of my favorite places on Earth. 🌴🌴🌞🌴🌴🌞🌴🌴
@@NextMeridianExpedition Yes you must go to Florida and Louisiana, New Orleans has fantastic food, French Creole cooking. Florida has great beaches and some of them are secluded. There are also a lot of beautiful Crystal Springs with manatees. There are many secluded areas in the keys where you can camp. South Carolina is also really nice and so is Georgia. The Appalachian Mountains are Lush Green Mountains they go all the way from Canada all the way to Georgia. Someday you will do it
What an amazing experience. Glad you guys are great swimmers. Beautiful seas. My son's goal is to buy a sail boat and explore the Caribbean Islands. So happy that it all went well. Gracias a Dios. Enjoy💞
Wonderful way to travel, tho not so sure I would have jumped in so enthusiastically with the sharks, but I think you arrived with the same number of people on board so I guess they were ok. Very surprised that you arrived before Albo who set off before you. Was he visiting all the islands too? Interesting that you were almost all Europeans on the boat.
Hahaha yes we counted we were all there ! Can you imagine … so the funny part is that albo comtainer arrived the same day. The difference is because it takes time to load the containers and unload them. So it is a 2/3 days crossing but 2 weeks process because of loading and admin
Howdy N&M! What a great trip across the beautiful beaches and islands! A very creative way to avoid the Darien Gap and also see more culture that the Alby would not allow! So now we wait a whole week to see what surprises you will spring! Y’all really make my Saturday when the next clip shows up! Travel safe! Ride On! ❤
Howdy Stuart !!! Yes we thought it was the optimal place to try some sailing! Ooooh Colombia first adventure was … a lot hahaha we show you that next week! Take care!
Great video! Awsome adventure! Thanks for sharing! The gorgeous color of the ocean and the white sand beaches, and the underwater footage.. Super cool!!💙💙💙
Awesome experience!!Feels like I am also in that journey with you two!And what a great way to meet new friends !!Thank you for always delivering such great videos for us to enjoy!God bless you both more !😊😘🙏
What a nice nice adventure, thanks for showing the boat tour i had a lot of questions and you explaned so good! We enjoy the video and we are happy for you guys BIG hug from 🇨🇷😘!!!❤
What an amazing adventure on the beautiful Caribbean waters in a luxury sailboat. Those Tropical Islands we're Paradise. Then to be traveling with all those other young people your same age. How was that ever set up? I don't think you could have had a better experience getting around the Darien Gap. I would think most Travelers don't have anywhere near this good of an experience. You are both very blessed. I will be watching for your next video. Thanks for sharing this Fabulous Adventure. 👍🏻👍🏻🌞🌴🌴🙏🏻
Yes we were lucky! The captain rents his boat for crossing through a agency called blue sailing. We tried to find a boat to crew on but it was not the right season so we booked that journey with him through a company called blue sailling j
Beautiful video from making new friends, to swimming with shark, underwater video was lovely, the food and crew amazing!! Glad you are in Cartagena 😍 see you soon ❣️❣️
Great video. The islands were beautiful and the food looked delicious. I would have liked a little more about the indigenous people there and where where you left from Panama but I know you didn't have much time there. Was the cabin hot to sleep even with the fan?
It's OFFICIAL: I'm jealous. Wish my body wasn't rusty. ☺️ I crossed the Pacafic from Japan to USA when I was 5. Done sailboating on lake which I didn't like. Too much work. But boating in the Caribbean... I'm jealous. I think Nick misses his Albie. 😊 I miss Albie. 😊 Here's ur angel for the next adventure. 👼
@@NextMeridianExpedition I have a big memory from the boat. Every night they would buff the hallway. It was very slick. Our cabin was across the hall from bathroom. I would slip and slide to bathroom. This was not a cruise ship in 1960. People crossed Pacific by boat as PanAm was just starting. We did fly back to Tokyo a year later. So glad when we got to Seattle. It took about a week. Ugh! I'm surprised the captain made y'all take sea sick pills. Wow! No cleanup svc. So glad y'all had safe trip. I can't imagine ur parents worrying. I worry and pray for y'all and we've never met. I'm adopted so y'all r adopted. I live in Choo Choo City. Do u know the city? Try to guess before GOOGLE it. Lol
Wow that must have been a crazy journey… the captain did not force anyone just recommended to people who were not sure they would get seasick. No … we don’t know … the only thing I can think about is the train sound but that is not super helpful hahaha
@@NextMeridianExpedition a train sound??? That's a tornado where I live. Went thru a tornado and it sounds just like a train. Very weird. The next morning we had underwear and trailer parts hanging from trees around us. We had to reproof our home. I have seen water spouts but at a distance. So glad y'all r safe.
Hahahaha as Europeans we used to not be big fans of AC ( fan/AC get the joke ? 😅). But since Central America and the unbearable heat we love it … hahahaha
@@NextMeridianExpedition Everybody in the United States loves AC. Most of our states are very hot and warm right now. We need AC or we will suffer and get overheated
Yes definitely need ac in the US. I dont know how they survive the heat in Central America. My husband from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 loves the ac now and complains about the heat and not sleeping when he visits Costa Rica.
It is your second continent, America is just one continent, if you ask everyone from Spanish speaking countries, they will say that America is just one continent, dividing it into 2 continents is a gringo thing and of some English speaking countries. Don’t be rude to the American continent peoples.
Hello, thank you for sharing your point of view. Mathilde learnt five, Nick learnt seven continents. We did some research and it seems to really be dependent of countries where you are from and how a continent is defined. What is a continent is a big question and you reach different numbers if you change your definition. We also raised it with other friends from South America who did not seem shocked by any of those. We understand there might different interpretations. It is not meant to insult anyone and it seems no one else so far has felt insulted either by choosing to refer to 7 continents. We thank you for following the journey and we hope you understand our point of view.
@@NextMeridianExpedition You are very right, from Mexico all the way to Argentina it is 5 continents and the continent is just one, that is why it’s funny and sometime offensive that gringos call themselves American (gringos are only from USA), have a safe travel and enjoy this wonderful continent, you. are good people.
You’re passion for adventure is unsurpassed, Mathilde and Nick. I couldn’t have done that sail boat crossing but appreciate having been taken along with you. I’m almost sea sick having observed the process. Photography is phenomenal, as usual! Glad you had a safe transit.
Thanks a lot Heather! Have a great weekend
I wanted to jump in so badly with you all. Tropical beaches and snorkeling...whst a life, what an adventure!!! welcome to the southern part of Turtle Island.
Yes it felt a bit out of this world hahaha.
What an adventure! Great video
🦈🦈🌊🌊🌊🌊
Thank you Patricia! Happy you had a good time watching it
Nice sailing crossing video. Very pretty Island stops and snorkeling. Always looking forward to your next video.
Thank you Paul! Yes big change of rhythm but back to the adventure soon
Awesome video as always Nick and Matilda. That was a awesome days on the water.
Thanks Christopher! We really enjoyed it. Hope you have a good weekend

What a wonderful boat trip!
Yes it was a very nice sailing experience especially in this context !
Very inspiring & enjoyable experience 😁👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you 😍
Very good video, what a great way to pass the Gap, so much fun, thanks for sharing this.
We thought so too! Hahaha definitely most relaxing way
Pretty amazing quality for a travel UA-cam "blog"! 👍
Glad you think so! Thanks a lot!
That is a very appealing trip. Wow, that is definitely something I would sign up for. One more amazing adventure to add to your already impressive trip.
It really is! Do it ! It is not so long either. Only 5 days
Wahoo third continent is a charm!
Hahaha yessssss
Great episode!
Loved the underwater shots with all the fish - and sharks! 😮
Nice way to travel around the Darien - a change from flying.
Slower pace, even if it involves having to take anti seasickness pills (that would be me, I get sea sick very quickly!!).
All the best for your South American travels. Hope it’s fun! 😊
Yes we found it an amazing alternative and we had time anyways! Thanks a lot Geoff! Yes South America starts soon soon !

What an amazing project! He ll certainly find a lot of people interested to crew on his boat
A nice little side adventure without the Defender. Looking forward to you being back on the road.
Yes us too! It made for an interesting change of rythm though
The water was so inviting!
What a cool mini adventure within the big adventure!
Happy Travels.
Yes that made for a nice change! But not ideal for fidgitters hahahah

Really is. And it is quite a change for us!

Glad you enjoyed! Hahaha yes mathilde is up for more sailing, Nick would probably do max a week or so!
I love your videos. Amazing ❤️
Thank you so much! It really makes us super happy to read you

Great video. The islands were beautiful and the food looked delicious. I would have liked a little more about the indigenous people there and where where you left from Panama but I know you didn't have much time there. Was the cabin hot to sleep even with the fan?
Good point. We were told not to film them. Only the old man with the coconut gave me permission. They are called Kuna if you wish to seek more info!
Honestly it was fine with the fan. Better thsn the car as there is just more wind at all time
@@NextMeridianExpedition I wondered if they might not have wanted to be filmed.
Exactly. The community is quite organized and strict with external comers ( that s very fair) as they try to preserve their way of life.
