- Join us on our sailing journey as we explore the beautiful holiday destination island of Martha's Vineyard. Our good friend took us on a tour of the island, and the highlight was the Gingerbread village, with its charming and colorful houses inspired by the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel. We also had a chance to see the golf course where former president Obama often spends his time. We faced challenges too, such as running from a lightning storm and finding clean water to run our water maker. But the reward was worth it - Sisu got a much-needed wash!

We are two crazies from South Africa, Frik & Petro. We knew absolutely nothing about sailing, but the ocean has always been calling. So we got rid of all our stuff, bought a Leopard 45 Catamaran, and set sail. Follow us as this story unfolds! This is a sea-life adventure captained by a couple of nomads who have built their lives on doing what inspires them in the moment. Join us and see how we break free of the traditional lifestyle, creating videos of our journey, adventures, life on board, and lessons learned along the way. It will be super rewarding if we can be an inspiration or contribute in any way to anybody wanting to fulfill their dreams.
SISU (Finnish concept) is a grim, gritty, white-knuckle form of courage in situations where success is against the odds. Taking action against the odds and displaying courage and resoluteness in the face of adversity, in other words, deciding on a course of action and then sticking to that decision even despite repeated failures. - Розваги
That potato salad looked divine! Not even to mention the braaibroodjies!!!
True SAFFA style, it was delish Melanie.
like the sky scene at the end
Pretty cool to see the lightning in action
Interesting destination
Very cool place indeed Sissel
Happy days
We try to make each day a Happy One, not difficult on a boat hey ;-))))))
Intrigued by the title. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Noone for watching
nothing like a bath to cheer u up
For sure Alice . . .
Hi Crew, nice vid, thx. Regards from Germany
Thank you so much for watching, really appreciated
Oooo Sisu looking sparkly ! Nice ! Chutney, I like, a rare one I used to be able to Get, was made to a Victorian Recipe - Green Tomato and Ginger Chutney. So nice, I keep hoping to come across it again, or, find a recipe to make it when I have a Boat Galley I can Cook in again. I bet there is a recipe online, if there's a selection of Spanish Gazpacho Soup recipes, there must be that Chutney Recipe too. Thanks for the video, you guys keep me going. Martha's Vineyard was the last place I anchored for a good night's sleep, before heading out of USA Territorial Waters, the following morning, heading for Bermuda, though I didn't go ashore, as Id had a very long day betting there from Mattappoisette pre Dawn that morning. A nice day to remember. Oh I think I've settled in my next boat, unless things intervene badly. An Island Packet 439, it ticks almost all the boxes I need, with a standard options Construction, only a few expensive extras - like the Hard Forayhood, and Hard Rear Cockpit Arch for Solar Panels and dinghy Davits, plus a connecting Bimini to connect them for Sun and Rain Protection. Now all I need is the Silver Price to Take iff, and fill the Piggybank. Best Wishes and Fair Winds. Bob. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️✨️
Thanks for your kind comments as usual Bob, always a good read. I actually also Googled that Gazpacho recipe when we left Cabo Verde, and I still make it on board. Such a nice dish (we love our beans),. You will find a lot of chutney recipes, and I am sure your one will come up. It sounds very interesting, maybe I will Google it myself. I grow chillies on board, so might add that in . . . Sounds like you have a lot going with the new boat. Hope everything falls into place and that she carries you safely across the ponds.
Hi Petro thank you for the update. Greetings from SA
As always a huge pleasure David
New subscriber, looking forward to seeing more ⛵️⛵️⛵️😊
Thank you and welcome on board Kathleen, glad you enjoy our videos. We try to post every second week at this stage, so keep on watching :-)))))
Nie barbeque nie, braai :P
Geniet julle videos, baie dankie
Ja . . . ons BRAAI altyd op Sisu heheheeee
👌 mooi man🥰, julle vanoggend ondek. Bewolkte reen sondag oggend op die bank in PE. Geniet dit...👍👍
Welkom Basie, dis net so bewolk hier in die Bahamas, en regte Baai winde op die oomblik, in 37 kts geseil gister 😳
Aitogi, ja ons ragetta ook op hold gesit tot verdere kennis. Ek race maar die 1mtr klas rc seil bote😁
Mooi dag vir julle. Anker maar goed👌🥰
Hello!!! I found you finally! We met twice once in SA (you didn't sail yet) and once with the two of you in Tuscany. So happy to be able to follow you😊
So happy you found us Vanessa!!! Welcome to our channel 😊. Please tell all your friends and family to also subscribe, it will really be appreciated ⛵
@@SailingSisu of course
Thanks guy’s😊
Cheers Trev
Thanks for the vid, as always loved it, can't wait for the next one....sail safe and be good
Thank you for always watching our videos, you are a great supporter Norm!
The water outside the harbors is fairly clean there. No reason not to make water. The reason it looks turbid (not clear) is because the bottom is mud and the current is strong.
Yes, we could start our watermaker. The water around the watermaker intake was fine
Awesome video.. So jelly your living the life 🙌🏽
When are you sailing through Australia 🇦🇺 specifically Sydney 😉
PS I'm Zanders good friend from OZ, ❤
Thank you so much Kirstin!!!! We will eventually get there, most likely 2 to 3 year's time :-). McBride, mmmmmm. Your dad from SA? Alastair?
Just at the beginning and noticed the main has way to many wrinkles in-her too loose halyard. Tighten that up = better sail shape and probably 1-knot faster. 😊
Yup we noticed and sorted out shortly afterwards ;-)))))
Nice ending shots of the lightning. That dingy dock that had all those double parked dingies was a sight! Cheers from Winnipeg.
Nature's show at it's best for sure Peter.
Great video. Cool electrical storm! ⚓️🐟⛵️🍻😎
Thanks Jeff, glad you enjoyed it.
Brilliant video! Was awesome seeing you go through the hoops and I think Sisu could make an ASMR video of rainfall as well.
En my goeiste, braai broodjies! Dit lanklaas geniet. Ek hoor mayo op die buite kant werk ook goed. Sal beproef voor ek dit aan julle voorstel.
Hey Zan, jip ek en Frik het nogsteeds die debat oor botter binne of buite hahahahaaaaa
@@SailingSisu hehe... ai ai.... Maar ja ek sal die mayo ding try en julle laat weet. Ek het nie 'n braai soos julle nie. Gaan dit in air frier doen en beproef.
En kyk uit vir die Scorpion chilli seeds wat Frik bring. Daai vat mens nie lightly nie. Gloves en sulk is nodig saam met bietjie gaan baie ver.
Haha
Love your vids…. great stuff. Lekka man. :) How do you keep your isinglass helm enclosures so clear? Any special trick?
Thanks Tony!!!! The front window we replaced the other day with strata glass, so no more wobblies. There is a product, like a polish, that you can get from most chandleries, then just add some elbow grease, and there you go :-)
Great to find your channel, and so nice to hear SA accents. And a great SA boat, although I wonder what you make of the Aussie threesome on SV Liger, YT channel Travel Sketch, as well as LabMariner, who have had seemingly endless issues with their Leopard 45s? I transited the Panama canal last year rafted up to a massive Leopard 48 called Wild Tribe and they seemed largely problem-free, albeit an older boat, and easily made it to Fiji like me. Also, are you aware of any other SA UA-camrs? I did put up 7 amateurish videos of my Pacific sailing last year, but completely different style, being solo on an old monohull.
Hi Hugh, thanks for discovering us! We have met LabMariner, actually buddy boated with him in the Bahamas. As with all new boats (irrespective of brand), there will inevatibly be issues, so yes, we also had our fair share of problems, but Leopard had absolutely no hesitation sorting us out, the after sales service was excellent. All issues were addressed immediately. We are very happy with our choice of boat, she sails like a dream, an absolute tank on the open seas (and we've been in some pretty heavy seas with her), she never failed us. SA UA-camrs I know of is Sailing Lady Africa and there is a new one . . . can't remember the name
Sisu....but no sauna 😮
LOL, thanks for watching Hanna
Its great to watch how strong you guys are. I want to travel too but dont have ideas. I want to travel from cape town to suriname or carribean. Any help please
Hey, will you be sailing?
@@SailingSisu yes definitely. I would like to go and explore the world
Suriname is definitely worth a visit, I would stop there if I were you, and then head up through the windward islands of the Carribean. Loads of places to see (bearing in mind our SA Passport), then work your way up through the Bahamas. But the world is your oyster and you will have all the time in the world, so take your time.
So you sail by my house and you don't even wave!
LOL !!! Thanks for watching Dilip
Question for you guys. You’ve spent a fair amount of time now in both the Mediterranean and on the East Coast. Which do you prefer?
Hey Richard. A very difficult question and we get asked this a lot. It totally depends on what you are looking for. Both have their own uniqueness. The Med is awesome for cobblestone towns, history and general scenery. USA is better sailing conditions. A bit of history, but nothing that can compare with the Med. The islands however (Caribbean, BVI, USVI and of course Bahamas) totally different picture. Awesome sailing and amazing sea life, swimming, snorkeling and diving (which you don't have in the Med - all sealife and corals are dead)
👍 for your channel. As for 'O your mama' don't come back to Hawai'i (Waimanalo). He & his wife, are NOT welcome 😡
Thank you so much Steven :-)
Fortunately, you only have one voice, one vote. You do not speak for the majority. 44 👍🤗👏
The worst president ever... but you guys are nice🏋🏻♀️🤟🏋🏻♀️
Thank you so much, we just loved Martha's Vinyard, such a quant "all organic" island
44 was the best ❤
45 the worst 🤮
