Solo Sailing searching for waterfalls. (Learning By Doing Ep 84)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- I go in search of a waterfall! Sailing 20 miles over to the Island of Batanta I then spend the day searching up and down rivers and mangroves swamps meeting locals along the way. I didn't find the waterfall but had a great day none the less. Next day I sailed over to Sorong in order to fill my australian gas bottles. Anchored there I witnessed an amazing sunset and met some cool local Doom islanders.

"Life's too good to be feeling miserable, if you can help it in any way" That's fantastic - going to remember that one! Thanks for feeding my wanderlust with your videos. Great work!
You are so welcome!
I feel good when you feel good
Cheers great video . One of my best experiences was sailing into a Solomons village to pickup some rotariens after a cyclone had devasted their village . They were rebuilding the infrastructure. The locales mainly children paddled out in their canoes and came onboard they had never heard a stereo . A great day thanks for the memory
Unforgettable experiences with real people.
Vernon, I know cruisers who would hoist their dinghy out of the water, alongside at night, for security. In the morning, the engine would be gone. It is at a very convenient height to row up, cut the lock, and ease it into their own boat. In one case, the owner was sleeping in the bunk right next to the dinghy! It would be nice to have a crane at the stern to hoist the engine onto the stern rail and lock it there. But if you made it through Sorong without losing anything...good on you! We lost nothing in Sorong but I saw the jerks milling slowly by drooling over our 2 outboards on the stern rail of out boat. I left the cockpit light on and had alarms set.
Hello Patrick! @patrichchildresssailing like to watch your video’s to!
This is quickly turning to be my favorite sailing channel. Sean Penn does a really good job at showing an honest representation of the daily life of a solo sailor.
Ha... thanks. Yeah I got so sick of the Hollywood BS lifestyle and peaceee-d out. Feel free to share
What I like the most about your videos is that you don´t strike me like a selfish narcisistic individual like some (most) youtubers. l feel that you do these films to either remember the experiences in the future (my motivation) to share them with your family and friends and to inspire others, so there is a lot of the places and sailing that you do and just enough of you to tell the story. Good, balanced and mature content right here, congrats for it and looking forward to the next one whilst I sit inside this four walls waiting for my time to get out there and have my own
Thank you Charles for the thoughtful comment. You're pretty much spot-on, I make the videos so my family and keep up with where I am, to have a personal memory(never was good at writing a diary) and mostly because I really love filming and creating. It gives a reason to be curious about the people and places I'm visiting. Enjoy the upcoming videos, I'm pretty happy with the next 3 and look forward to your comments.
I’m with you !! sounds of sailing are magic.The bubbles out the back the sound of the boat moving through the water and the sound of the wind are awesome!
Love the smile on your face and the excitement in your talk since you got back to the boat after the winter. Cool approach to dingy “rail meat”. Been bing watching while riding my indoor bike for the winter break. Almost caught up. Cheers!
Thanks man and stoked you've been enjoying a few videos.
After 7 sek, i thought, this is a perfect day for sailing....⛵👍
Perfect indeed!
Aaaah man that spot just speaks to my soul, I'd love to spend a few days just decompressing from the world's BS right there.
Right on the nail.
nice Audrey Hepburn Look (glasses and hat...). Good to see the smiling people again - have fun and thx for the relaxing 20min.
Glad I cold provide some decompression Karl.
I’ve subscribed to many channels, yours tops them all mate. I love the down to earth “this is what it is” type of videos you do and no over the top pushing the Patreon thing. Well done mate, great vids, great guy.
Thanks a lot Greg, means a lot to me.
I love what you're doing mate. I watch with interest. I'd put your channel up there with the best. Especially with you doing all the camera work etc yourself. Well done, keep it up mate. Andy, Plymouth UK
Thanks a lot Andy, I love the camera work, filming etc, still getting up to speed with the editing and audio.
Awesome. Thanks for the reply. It's great. From the very little I've done so far I see how difficult and confusing it can be, especially at first. It's looking pretty professional to be honest, and above all,- real and not over-produced/polished. I like that
Thanks man.
your feeling good , because your living outside the matrix , living the life you want to live ( maybe the doobie was good too) )))
Hi David. Yeah of course, I'm feeling good cause I'm living the life I want to live.
Awesome mate i feel inspired thx
Thats great mate.
Great content, keep them coming.
howdy Mate - your happiness is contagious - be blessed
Thanks man, glad that vibe comes across.
Love your boat mate, sticker looks great where you placed it
Thanks Geoff
Best way to travel is to get lost! Love your work bro. Your one lucky f#*cker. :)
Cheers Dan. Luck might be a small part of it.
You're killing it!
Another great video.
Love it! You're amazing!
Thanks Lisa, I think you are one of only 2-3 girls who watch so I'm happy you liked it.
Choice 🤙🏼
Love them Dinghy Davits
very good video. very good content. i spend a lot of time in W Papua but haven't seen Raja Ampat yet
The opening statements sounded like the lyrics of a song, perhaps it should be 👍🏼
Thanks
Another cool video mate!! Congrats on 10k subscribers!
Ah thanks for that! Stoked to reach that little goal
Choice video, love your style👍👍 Would it be possible to incorporate a map so we can see where you are in the world?
Thanks Andrew. Yeah I've done that in the past but sorta decided to stop. Some of the places I visit I would really hate to see visited too much. Also for those that do end up visiting they will have a real discovery.
What's the best time of year to sail from say Cape York to West Papua/ Indonesia.....Winter months? Loving your videos Vernon!
Tradewind season will get you up there fast. Go now!
Hey man, I love your videos👍 I want to start in the snowboard photography scene too. But after writing a lot of pitches, I didn't really made the cut. How you got in in snowboard photography and what are your tipps and tricks to get a job?
HI Jonas. First you have to be really good, then you have to shoot with good riders. Send me an email and we can talk more. info@vernondeck.com
Vernon, the link to your tshirts doesn't work.
Cheers
Clinton
Sorry mate, should be good now, changed it.
So what language did they speak? I looked up Indonesia and there were like 3 languages listed.
Bahasa Indonesia is the commen language in the whole country. There are many many other languages and dialects spoken too in raja ampat their local language is a form of Papuan
Crocodiles?
Yep, some around for sure
i wonder if you could use an off line google translate thing/app for basic communication. i tose kind of situations. i would enhance the experience without having to study to much of the language
yep you can..as i am on line thought id check it out support.google.com/translate/answer/6142473?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&hl=en
should have watched the whole vid . before commenting...haha feel like a bit of a dick now.
Haha, no worries. I use it offline but its still not like a real chat
"The woods" you been in Europe too long, try jungle .... or at least bush..
Haha, yeah true, its not really Woods at all in the tropics.
