    Really enjoy watching your vids as I work away in the office. I always dreamed of buying a 30 Ft + sailboat and living your life, but my life got in the way. Now at 69 with a pacemaker, I have the $ to buy a sailboat, but I just couldnt do it physically. I now live vicariously through you two. I prefer your vids over the others, because your video's make me feel the most like I am there, your "go cam" sways to neutral as the boat pitches back & forth and I almost feel like I am sailing with you. I dont watch the click bait sailing vids , and the others dont have your signature. Thanks for posting your life ongoing.

    We are all going through something that our world has never seen before. It has brought out much good and some bad. Your videos give us a relief from it all! Many of us have been touched personally by this, including me. Thank you both for the break from distancing, constant sanitizing, no hugs or hand shakes, and staying at least six feet apart. Plus, looking at anyone who coughs or sneezes like, do they have the virus? Knowing that many show no signs. But we are finding creative ways to deal with it. Make lemonade out of lemons! It's what we do! Tomorrow is Easter. We have two teenage grandchildren living with us. We will have an indoor Easter egg hunt for them! They are excited about it! My husband and I are necessary workers and still work with the public. We take all of the precautions that we can and pray for the best. Staying positive and helping community when we can!

    The stress of just working a normal job is almost overwhelming. Going to get groceries once every other week then coming home and cleaning it all before taking it in raise’s the anxiety level so high. You wonder if you done everything correct and safely. So today I decided not to worry as much and go cruising a bit around Australia with you guys. I pray for the ones on the front lines dealing with this pandemic. Thanks guys. It was a great video as always.

    If you have space for a 5l still on board you can make methanol ( wood alcohol ) from wood or paper scrap in water through distillation. Also good back up to distill sea water to fresh drinking water.

      Completely agree. I'm sure editing the video is the last thing you want to do, and remembering to film things must be a drag, but it is so appreciated by your viewers. Those last shots with the drone were just magical. Is that a new purchase?

    I had to laugh when you mentioned the gannets fancying your lure. I’ve never had much luck fishing but one of the first things I caught when dragging a lure was a seagull. Like flying a kite off the back of the boat. When the boat speed picked up one of its wings would fold under the stress and it would pirouette down and then fly back up when the speed decreased, the seagull repeated this several times until It finally let go or became unhooked. Poor thing ! Great videos. Keep up the good work.

      From two former first responders and fire fighters, we are thinking and praying for all of you who are on the front lines! Our hearts are SOOO with you all and we have cried for you. We have an idea of what you are going through since we dealt with hurricane Katrina here in the south. But it was on SO much smaller a scale that what you are all dealing with now. Just know that there are MANY of us who have you all in OUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS! May you ALL stay safe! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!! If there is something that any of you think that we can do to help, PLEASE let us know and we will try our best to make it happen!!!!! MUCH LOVE from LOUISIANA HERE!!!!!!!

  • @leemelbourne3297

    Wow. Impressive footage. I always find swells behind the boat unnerving as they throw you around while you are typically looking forward. I could not imagine doing that for 4 hours on the tiller at night in Bass Straight. But the company of dolphins and eerie green glow must have been amazing.

Saw it a few times long ago when I worked on a two man gill-netter fishing for sockeye salmon. Has to be experienced in person for full effect. Just amazing.

    Have you considered using a solar shower? It's a 20 liter black bag you fill with water and hang up in the sun. Even on a mild day, the water is hot enough to shower in a few hours. At 2 lpm, that's a ten minute shower, longer if you turn it off while scrubbing.
