About Us
We are Becka and Zach, a couple who, in 2020, dreamt of sailing off into the big blue. Trouble is- we were in a pandemic, had a university degree to finish, on a student budget, only had ever sailed dingies, oh and didn’t have a boat. The dream seemed not only unrealistic but pretty insane.
However, we worked hard, finished our degrees, worked as many hours as physically possible, saved with all our might, got experience and in March 2022 bought our very own sailboat, Teulu. Having little sailing experience and being a young couple, we have encountered a tonne of hurdles and made plenty of mistakes! but for every downfall, there has always been a reason to dust ourselves off and carry on.
We hope you can join us as we sail around the world and keep #bloodydoingit

I am so thrilled that you shared your adventure with us. I've enjoyed sailing all my life .. met my once wife of 30 years on a schooner vacation sailing Maine USA Penibscor Bay with hundreds of islands. I have never done what you are doing and I am 70 and fighting stage four cancer but I have had this last wish to sail the Atlantic on a 360' beautiful sailing vessel that departs Spain Nov 1st and stops in Gibraltar and Moraco and the Canaries four nights and the a 14 night sail to the Caribbeanm . 170 passengers and 70 crew and it just sounds so epic to do for my kids to remember their dad by... For Life is an Adventure... so GO LIVE IT right ?!!! I hope I can be healthy enough to do it. Not for the partying but for the wonder of Nature at its most beautiful are raw. Thank you All for your inspiration as I've seen many pond crossings on UA-cam but yours was one of the best.😊
Thanks for watching Bill. What an incredible way to meet your wife! I’m sorry to hear that, I hope that you have an great time during your trip and it’s as beautiful and memorable as you hope it to be 😊 You’re too kind!!
Cheer's Bill, my son is 39 and has terminal colon/liver cancer. He get's mad when he sees old people as he will never be old. I hope you had a good life.
😊😊😊😊
@@salembeeman370 Look into hydrogen peroxide therapy.
Hey Bill, you need to fast. No food for at least 10 days. Cancer needs sugar to survive!!! Also start taking Vitamin B17, do coffee enemas multiple times each day to help your liver get stronger. B17 is not legal in the US, but you can get it from Mexico. DO NOT GIVE UP! My mom survived stage 4 ovarian cancer 6+ yrs ago!
Beautiful song at the beginning!
Agree , the music is so apt. All so enjoyable . Its way past my bedtime , but cant stop watching .
Brilliant accomplishment! Love the shanty and Sonja's singing was a lovely addition. 😄
Thank you so much! Glad you loved it 😁
What's the shanty? Please and thank you.
@@imcja2 The shanty was the song that Sonja sang at the beginning of the video. 😃
Rollin’ down to old Maui
Me … didn’t like it so much. Had to fast forward past the intro song or delete the video. Good that I was successful with the fast forward.
Had shivers when becka was reading the poem of her Mom. Truely an inspiration what you are doing and a reminder how wonderful life on this beautiful planet can be. Thank you guys!
Yep, I actually teared up
She is a lovely poet! Thanks 🙏
@@TeuluTribe
Hi,
Fascinated by your experience and the poem at the beginning of the video is so melancholic and beautiful. What is the title of the poem and where can I find the words please?💚🙏
Had
Beautiful singing
What a treat! One hour of Amy and Rory and Teulu TARDIS on a passage!! With friends!!!! Reef early and often indeed…
Seriously so happy for you living the dream- you inspire me…I am 66 and will be looking at a cruising sailboat this month. Hope to be out there in the next few years on my own little Teulu. God bless you for your brave adventure. ❤🎉
Hi Gary 😊 Glad you liked the longer episode of the Tardis adventures haha! I hope the viewing goes well and that we see you out on the water in the next few years!
The last time I watched your channel you were going out on your first sail. And here you are less than a year later you have crossed the Atlantic! I’ve been sailing 55 years and I must say I’m really impressed how far you have come so quickly.
from novices to ocean sailors in less than a year - simply awesome and what an inspiration. Brilliant video too. Someone else has already said it, but your filming of the ocean was so much better that most vloggers manage. You’ve bloody done it!
That means a lot, thank you ☺️
Movies
I can not tell you how I feel, so elated for you, almost tearful. How long have you owned a boat, not one year and here you are. Zac and Becks you are amazing and me, an old man is so envious. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thanks Michael! We have owned her for just over a year now. You’re too kind x ☺️
Oh my gosh, that performance of old maui was beautiful! Gave me goosebumps
Glad you liked it Nathan!
May God grant you success, God willing
Greetings from Germany. Congratulations on this ocean crossing. The accompanying music was spirtual and your mother's poem was pure love. You were innocent children before the crossing. Now I don't think there will be any more tears when the wind pipes up to 25 knots. Looking forward to further adventures.
I’m glad you liked the music and the poem, I think our tolerance for wind has definitely gotten bigger 😅 Cheers!
Only 25 Kts ?? Mmmmmm !
What an episode! Sonia’s singing was great, your true comments along the way about ups and downs, and also your choice of music framed the whole episode. It’s inspiring that you have come so far in such a rather short time (since you got the boat I mean). My boat is being prepared and I hope one day to set off. Apart from some practicalities, being healthy and having at least some savings, it’s most of all a question of making up your mind. You did, and look at you!
I’m glad you liked it so much, Becka spent more time editing this episode than any other episode! Fair winds for your upcoming adventures, maybe one day we’ll see you in an anchorage or out at sea 😊
@@TeuluTribe Well she did very well, I could see there was much effort in to the editing 😀. Yes, I hope I will manage to let go of land one day. Am gradually improving the boat, so I hope to succeed! All the best, and fair winds!
Fantastic, so pleased for you. It seems like only yesterday that you were getting used to sailing Teulu in coastal waters, and making numerous improvements to just about every aspect of her and its culminated ( for now ! ) with an Atlantic crossing ! Again, really pleased for you.
Cheers 😊 It’s crazy isn’t it, it’s hard to believe it’s been a year now!
What an amazing achievement, congratulations. I also loved Sonja's vocals, and the reading of that wonderful poem. You all are truly inspirational.
Just finished watching. Wow, such intrepid souls - never have such sailors been found to face the fraught and find merry. Bravo Zulu.
Outstanding!
Your Mother's poem touched the heart. The music was wonderful.
You two are on your way to becoming "Old Salts" as the sea becomes part of your souls.
So proud of you guys!
Glad you enjoyed it David! Thanks for the kind words 😊
Congratulations and thank you for sharing. One of the most authentic and real Atlantic crossing videos I've seen (and I've watched a lot).
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed!
About a week ago, I found this amazing channel. After watching an episode, It was clear to me I had to go back and watch your journey from the start. So that is exactly what I did. I watched the build up to getting your new boat. Then all the repairs and upgrades that came along with boat ownership. Your infectious positive attitude and drive to make this a reality kept me glued to the TV. I have loved watching this journey unfold in a rather short amount of time. Seeing the joy sailing and being out on the water brings you is amazing to see. You guys were clearly meant to be doing this. I really can't wait to see where your adventures will take you. Be safe and keep being awesome ! Much love from Vancouver Island Canada.❤️⛵️
Such an awesome watch!! Sat though all of it hooked.. Feels a lot more genuine/connecting than other channels... subscribed!!
Killin it guys! Hope you’re enjoying this side of the Atlantic. Keep crushing 🎉
Thank you Mike! We are loving it 😁
Muy bien estupendo
@@TeuluTribedear teulu tribe
could you provide us with the soundtrack of this video this is jus great
Killin
Such an exciting adventure!!! Good on you both for having so much courage!
Song and singing is beautiful
The character development throughout this series is fascinating and endearing. As is the production value. A trajectory toward the stars!
Best 54:11 I've spent in a very long time. Thank you for the extra work involved in a video that long. Great luck with the fishing. The squalls, some of us have been in situations where Mother Nature feels the need to humble us. Where we might feel like crying out....time out, I need a break to just catch my breath, to rest. Good job. I know even more about you now. I'm glad I've taken the time to go back in your journey. ❤🙏
Thank you so much, this took a long while to edit. Comments like this make it all worth it! 😊
Well you bloody did it. Awesome achievement, awesome video you have come such a long way in such a short time. I have seen a lot of videos, but you guys have really captured the essence of long distance offshore sailing, keep living the dream, and well done.
Thanks Mark! It’s nice to know you think that 😊
Right at the very beginning on your first sail by yourselves you said “ yes we’re bloody doing it “ and now you are really bloody doing it, congratulations , I knew from the very onset of your epic adventure that you would both make very capable sailors. Remember keep having fun and keep true to yourselves. Another great video. 👍😎👍
Thanks for sticking around Paul and having confidence in us! 😊
This moment when you know you are close and then you spot it. You guys did a great job. Enjoy every moment. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Wow, another great one. Your transitioning from one scene to another is getting way better! AND HEY, your gonna LOVE the Caribbean. Totally going to be life changing!!!
Thanks so much Scottie 😀
I love the song⚓🔱🪕
Wound up here by way of your Worms Head video... The hour... Er, sailed by, sorry couldn't resist. What a video, what an achievement! Congratulations! This was amazing thanks!🙏⛵⚓
Oh and loved the hats!
Nautical miles really are a big thing: Mindelo (Cabo Verde) to Freetown (Antigua) metric is 3,896.70 km (2,421.30 mi) (says Google maps) and in nautical miles that is "only" 2,104.
sometimes all you need is a 1 hour Atlantic crossing by the teulu crew
Hope you enjoyed it 😁
I love watching family and friends do trips like these over the seas and oceans I've always wanted to do trip like these with my family just work to hard and don't have the means to do it so thank you all for your videos
Her song at the beginning is amazing
Agree!
One of my favorite utube passages yet, and I have watched heaps! When I find videos that bring me pack to passages I made decades ago I count it a winner! Well done gang and thank you all.
Congratulations!! On the crossing and the brilliant video! So impressed with how you kept on smiling and just dealing with the difficult weather, no wonder you have a bit more confidence in yourselves and the boat now - love that feeling when you just know the boat is looking after you, even if life is pretty uncomfortable. And loved seeing it all in one video (rather than strung out over loads of episodes) - it really gave a sense of the journey. A lovely bit of escapism for those of us stuck on land for now!
Our confidence in Teulu is definitely at an all time high! Glad you liked the longer episode 😊 Thanks for watching!
I got a treat when I found you folks. the first thing I noticed about your sailboat is a ketch rig. Way back in the 70s, I bought a new Challenger 35 Ketch, My wife named her "Challenger" as she thought the name was very appropriate. We sailed her all over Lake Ontario and lived on her every year from April 1st till November 1st with our two boys. I was sad in 1994 when I sold her because we moved to the land of shallow water, Florida. I noticed it was quite a while before you hoisted the Mizzen. we loved sailing with our mizzen anytime it was possible. your boat is beautiful. quite a nice seaworthy craft.
A great 54 minutes, so proud of you guys, watching the rolling waves and listen to a great choice of music made it all the better, congratulations 🙏🙏
Glad you liked the music, thanks 😊
What a beautiful opening song. Congratulations on your crossing. You did it! You bloody Did it!
Thank you so much!! We bloody did 😁
What a great voice! Love that song
Loved this longer vlog. So amazing. Ive watchd lots of channels do their crossings but yours just got me emotionally so amazing
Brilliant! Best Atlantic crossing UA-cam I’ve seen, thank you!!
That’s very kind, thanks Robert!
Congratulations to all four of you wonderful people. Very great achievement and a very nice memory you got you there for a lifetime. Love the hats, very nice!!!!!🤩
Thank you so much! It’s definitely a memory we’ll have forever 😌
Now That was an episode to be proud of, Teulu. All 54 minutes and 11 seconds of it. Great to hear the harmony singing at the end. One of my favourite Sea Songs, which has brought back many happy memories of the Plymouth Folk Clubs, during the seventies, eighties and nineties. I see you ventured into the Sargasso Sea, en-route. I bet Teulu's bottom needs a good scrub, before you sail any farther. Well done, all of you. Cheers, Russ. Portsmouth, UK.
Thanks Russ! It’s a beautiful song isn’t it 😊 She definitely needs a bit of a scrub again, this will be the second time in the Caribbean 🙃
Well done. A real baptism of fire (or wind and rain!) You must be very proud of yourselves and your crew. Now enjoy the Caribbean islands and the sunshine. You ‘bloody did it!’
We couldn’t have wished for better crew! Thanks 😊
WOW, you guys I have the highest respect for what you have taken on. INCREDIBLE
Wonderful videos. We had a Colvic Watson 32 and so many details are the same, even down to the identical gimballed cooker, the lazyjacks, coachhouse horse for the mainsheet, navionics, cavernous bilges and dodgy wiring! I sort of felt that I was on board and followed your boat handling with great interest. Then you invested in the electrics/solar big time and have made a super oceangoing boat work really well ... just as well you had a heavy old long keel for the trip across without which life would have been even more uncomfortable. The difference between us is that you made the boat go the distance and we did not venture west of the Channel! Full admiration! Bravo Teulu tribe!!
We would love to see a Colvic Watson at some point! I can’t believe we only got her a year ago. Thanks for the support! 😊
Its official, you two have served your apprenticeship . And passed with flying colors .Now true Sailers,congratulations. Fair winds,ya matey.
Haha thanks bud! 😊
Your best video. You managed to convey, in some sense, what it's like to make this ocean crossing. It's pretty obvious you put a lot of work into this video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Russ, it was a lot of editing 😅
2200 nautical miles in 54 minutes!!!!!!!!!... marvelous... great sail, well done ;)
It was a challenge to get everything into 54min! Thanks ☺️
Moving. Life affirming. 👏
I'm sitting here clapping!!! 🤔🤔 Very well done!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️
That’s very sweet, thanks Paul ☺️
Terrific job all! What a wonderful crew, too. Thanks for the great video & for regaling us with the ups & downs of the crossing. U all may qualify as the Von Trapp Family Singers, Part 2.😉👍
Well done! You've been tested by the ocean and succeeded.👌🤗
Always the one to remember, your first ocean crossing.⛵
Thanks 😊 It’s definitely a memory that we will never forget! ⛵️
Positive emotional environment, lifted my spirit.
Wow, you’re beautiful and love your spirit! Lucky man you have!
Bravo, Bravo, well done
So Courageous for your young beautiful crew. A lifetime of memories. 🙏🏼
That was the most difficult crossing of the Atlantic I have seen. A real wake up call. Thank you! ⛵️
Great film, thank you… every trip needs a guitar and a song … well done Sonja!
Congratulations on your Atlantic crossing. Thank you for not only sharing beautiful and less beautiful pictures with us, but also for sharing your thoughts and feelings. I felt very well entertained. Udo
Congratulations on your crossing!!
Every good mom wakes up at 3 am and thinks and prays for her children. Loved the poem.
Loved the filming and the way you wove your story together.
Thank you so much Kim! 😊
Well done to you. Bit hectic at times. But. You bloody did it. 🥳🥳🥳🥳
We bloody did 😁 Thanks!
To live such a dream this side of heaven must be a great blessing. What a wonderful chapter of your journey!
The best rendition of Old Maui I've ever heard.
Great video, the story telling has been first class and the camera work has captured the journey so well. I have watched you from the beginning of your adventure and it is amazing to see your confidence growing. Look forward to seeing your Caribbean adventure.
Thank you so much Ross, that means a lot to us! Hope you enjoy it 😊
Genuinely one of the best videos I have ever seen :)
Thank you 🙏
Absolutely LOVED the sea shanty & accompaniment. What a lovely voice & a beautiful intro & ending for the video. Love Love Love it
Beautiful poem by your mother. What a wonderful video! Thanks so much for sharing.
Favorite line: "It's my half-way half-made hat." Smiles & giggles
Thanks for your lovely comment ☺️ Haha it made me laugh too!

Congratulations guys, what a great crew. Much respect. Well done to all. U know your stuff and presentation is the best. Real world stuff. Take my hat off to you in respect. Great job done. I’m in envy 🙏👍
Wow! What a journey! This is a dream come true. Wonderful passage. Congratulations. Good winds.
Cheers Jose 😊
You really proved yourselves.
Not just challenging but dangerous and you played it safe and came out on top.
Great job !
Cheers 😊
Sonja”s singing and your mum”s poetry with the rolling waves was awesome .
Wonderful opening song 🙂
I loved watching this! I could never do it, I think I’d throw up non stop, I’ll stick to the big cruise ships if I need to cross the Atlantic!
So much respect to each and every sailor who does it and much respect to Mother Nature!
Everyone is seasick at some point, on the crossing down to Cape Verde I was sick at the start. I’m normally alright, it just happens sometimes 😅
-Zach
Absolutely stellar! Fantastic for you all. Great wisdom and enthralling videography. Keep this channel going folks
Well done on the crossing. Quite an accomplishment, your sailing skills have really developed and you are now doing ‘sailor speak’ with talk of beam reaches etc!
Thank you! It’s all we talk about now 😅
You are very nice peaple, and I am happy to watch this video. Thanks for sharing with us!
That was a lovely poem indeed. Kudos to your mom. 👌👍
Wow well done everyone, take care all, Another brilliant episode.
Thanks Stuart! 😊
Atlantic crossing look amazing place
Beautiful view
Thank you for great sharing my friend
Be careful
I have a cat whose name is Pussidon.
What an amazing achievement. Great video guys and gives a real insight into your crossing and the skills required to “bloody “ do it. Well done. 🎉
Thanks Simon 😁
Fantastic sailing, Folks, welldone! I feel I´ve crossed the Atlantic with you as part of the crew. Thank you very much for sharing this amazing experience with us. Cheers and good winds always!
Our pleasure! Thanks for joining us 😁
Great video!! That girl singing was very, very good!!! Has real talent , keep it up 👍
Thank you ❤
Congratulations on crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Bravo. Stay with your dreams.
Loved this. Was bored of scrolling and happened to stumble upon this, was late but had to watch til the end. What an adventure and looks like a fun crew to do it with. Thank-you for sharing
WOW WOW WOW that was amazing, great footage great crew and you made it well done
bloody hell you made it!!! good on you!! absolutely amazing video!! Thank you for sharing and could feel you, when you said, you didn't want it to end... bonkers man, bonkers!! mad respect for you guys!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
You make drinks with pineapples like that! Nothing a little rum won't fix!
Love Sonya's singing. I was a little daunted by the length of the video, but yet again you kept the story going and I thoroughly enjoyed every part of the voyage.. Well done!
We’ll be back to our normal lengths next week 😊 Thank for watching!
I was fortunate last fall to help my cousin move his boat from the DC area to South Carolina. We hit the tail end of a tropical depression and the swell size was 12 to 15 foot. I just posted a video finally but it’s wild how the video footage doesn’t show how intense and large the waves are. I could tell by your footage you were in some good size.
Unique crossing as Sonya plays and the crew sings Shanty's aboard Teulu. Epic video, one each aboard should be proud to be part. Fantastic, and hope to view more on your voyage. Thank you for sharing this marvelous crossing.
Thank you David! More Caribbean voyages to come 😊
I saw it was 54 minutes long and I said "Oh, that's too long, I can't watch that." Well, I did, and wished for more! Good on ya' you earned your stripes!
Glad you liked the longer episode, thanks for watching 😁
Outstanding, congratulations to all! Glad you arrived safely. You should be very proud of yourselves for what you've achieved, the video captured the highs and lows wonderfully. Bloody did it!
Thank you Philip! 😁
WOW! Amazingly well done documentary of your crossing.
I gotta say if I was going to make that crossing with anyone I would want it to be with you and your crew.
Perfect crew and a job well done.
Congratulations, well done. What an achievement in all your lives. Enjoy what a ahead and take the time to enjoy it. Happy trails.
Thank you so much! 😊
That was FUN thanks for the adventure …especially loved the song at the end … truly ending on a high note you had relatively calm seas. Takes a lot of guts to be so far yet you all had other what memories you’ll carry with yourselves forever
