Loving getting to see this footage! As Joachim's niece, I've heard some stories through the family and seen photos but this is the first time I'm seeing the videos they filmed of their big sailing adventure.
It is great that you are doing this. It is a story I would not have found otherwise. Given the overwhelming interest in sailing / cruising as of late (broker's don't have enough boats to sell in the U.S.) I would think The Campes' story would gain hundreds of thousands viewers eventually.
Yeah its the same in Australia, 2nd hand boat market has gone nuts, boats selling way above their value now. I hope this series will attract many viewers as its pretty great.
Fantastic. Thank you for sharing this material with the world after so many years. For me, seeing such footage from decades ago puts everything that we do today into perspective: we tend to think that the world today is more connected. But in reality, people have always traveled, have experienced and tested themselves. Joachims Family are a fantastic example. Thank you, thank you.
Vernon, heard you on a podcast today with David Howes from 2018. Your mantra “learn by doing” is something my wife and I have adopted in my return to sailing after many years away from it. And we’re are learning to face our fears and do it anyway and embrace the nerve-racking thrill of it. I’m interested in seeing where Joachim’s philosophy takes the family in coming episodes.
Hey man, thanks so much for uploading those old videos. You have no idea how much I enjoy them and appreciate them. This is an incredible family. I don't think many would realise how difficult it must have been back in the 70's to quit everything and board a boat with 4 small kids and go around the world. Looking forward for EP5. Thanks once again.
Thank you so much for posting this! Brings me back to my youth. I remember watching this documentary in the '80s on public TV. Each Sunday a new episode.
Joachim & family are legends - can't think of a better way to dive into an adventure back in the 70ties. Vern: Cheers for sharing mate, awesome entertainment and idea to reanimate this footage!
It is interesting to see how attitudes change. I would guess now most children and also adults would be tethered in such weather. But I was about 10 at the time this was filmed. Being driven around in cars with no seatbelts or any other safety equipment. Impressive waves captured on film. Thanks for sharing as always.
Those were the times when adventures still required some risk taking. How amazing those kids grew up healthy despite the ongoing risk of falling over board! What was the secret? I think their parents thought them to obey and how to be smart about the dangers of their environment and quite obvious they did it with success. Maybe we should find back to those proofed methods of raising kids! Isn’t it also nice to see and realize how easy technology has made sailing and roaming the world nowadays? And isn’t it comforting to see how this family successfully conquered the world, despite having to do it with the very basics? NO GPS, NO IRIDIUM WEATHER UP DATES, NO SATELLITE PHONE, NO SOLAR PANELS, NO WIND TURBINE, NO AUTO PILOT, NO WATER MAKER, NO FREEZER! Great video - A MUST WATCH!🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👍✌️✌️✌️⛵️
It was very simple back then you are right. All those things you mentioned also never had to be fixed, now that's freedom. I was lucky enough to grow up in a similar way, not sailing but with parents that didn't watch us too closely and that didn't wrap us in cottonwool.
@@SailingLearningByDoing This is awesome Vern! Yeah, I was really thinking that the boat looked very advanced and ahead for it's time... almost futuristic even! Looked so well equipped. I'm looking forward to the episode where, I think Joachim's eldest Silvestre... fell for an island lass! he mentioned something like that in your chat with him! He regales on how he stays in the crows nest for hours because he missed her so! You can't write that stuff man! Cheers again for these hidden gems of footage! Also cheers to Joachim too of course, when or if you see him!🤙
@@Yelnats87 yeah it’s very impressive. Two engines, two generators, two different battery banks. Also the fin keel was quite a new thing mid seventies.
Those domes were rather common in those days...moitessier had one on joshua, willy de roos had one on williwaw etc...it was a way to have inside steering without having to build a proper pilothouse i guess.
Very interested the second episode. I would definitely go crazy with so many kids around me! 😂 funny note, a priest blessing the boat and then the people giving a drink to Poseidon! Lol. I’m really loving the story! Cheers.
Tell Joachim that i still use the goiot winches he had on the mast. They still work great😂 Hope he gets better soon and on his feet,stronger then before. Beautifull family and it is such a treat to have the chance to watch this trip now. 👍
Absolutely awesome ! big thing for me is the fact that there is absolutely nothing that they are lacking in comparison to todays standards, if anything the quality of there equipment seems of a better standard, although I must say that young fella near the edge with no harness had mer on edge !
Gripping stuff . Imagine doing that today with no roller furling, AIS or GPS. No mention of second thoughts when everyone seasick. Must have been a tough chore to also keep up with the film making. Nice shots from handheld 16mm.
Thanks for the second clip Vernon. Must be hard work translating. The effort of filming with heavy vulnerable 16mm gear in such conditions with correct exposure and steady shots was impressive. We today are used to quick short edits from very fast adverts. People are not familiar with long takes, considered and contemplative. Really good development of the individual characters in a rare adventure documenting their thoughts. Wonderful.
This is an excellent family story, thanks for posting it. It does seem like they were just winging it at first but I'm sure there was a lot of thought and preparation involved. Also the boat seemed to be well fitted out.
Another fantastic video. Sub titles were great. Sailing that route was a brave move. Taking the trades west would have been easy. Newfoundland can be iceberg territory. Cant wait for next week. Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.
I was wondering also about any sea trials with the boat. Those first two weeks were trial by fire for the whole family and Dagmar. I wonder if Captain J planned the toughest course first to test his mates metal and baptize them in salt water !? It would be great after this series to follow up present day with a interview with each of them and what they gained by this experience. Thanks again for your efforts 👍⛵️🌞
Yes, there are many questions. I plan on interviewing Joachim again to wrap up this series and will be asking you all to submit questions you might have.
What I enjoyed seeing not in any particular order: No self tailing winches of course. So each winch with a cleat and then you can't use the winch for anything else. The globe protector for the inside helm station I presume. I bet they didn't use that often. No autopilot so all the adults were working 24hr days on watch. A slave to the helm. The bell is for fog, again if in fog, someone was ringing that bell every few minutes relentlessly. Always a fan of navigation by sextant. They used the ShortWave to get the noon reading once per day. And the remaining 23 hours they go by compass, estimation of currents/horizon with the stars/ and winds. Much respect. Hank on sails with no self furling sails. Lots of muscle involved and with no showers for 30 days....... And last, the teacher had her berth up front. I guarantee that she did not sleep up there most of the time but in the main saloon. On a 45' boat/14 meter, those seas would make you airborn every 30 seconds. A joy to watch!
Hi Mark, glad you like it. You are right on almost all. Joachim said that the inside helm station was never really used as you could see almost nothing from the Dome. They had a wind vane and that did most of the steering after the first trip(think they had some issues to begin). Hank on sails and mostly 4-5 sails up. I was also thinking about the teacher up front, worse place on the boat. Tune in every Sunday
Fantastic story, lucky you to step into it and well done to channel it through Learning by doing. Different times indeed. Reminds me of when with family we stayed some 3 years in Africa me and sis we were little kids and no safety measures at all. Question: is Joachim still on same boat? I am refurbishing a boat same age to soon auntie the lines and see where she takes me. All the best wishes. I'll chip in some $$ for good old Joachim!
@@robertomarazzani4377 They are doing amazing things on different continents. I’m holding myself back so that you can get to find out with right timing as far as the series.
Great video - as almost a kind of artistic one. Incredibly real and this zest to look for meaning in life... Or creating one. Very enjoyable watch. As we are all the youtube voyeurs , I really wonder how the rest of the team are doing today... Tried to google it but my nose is too short. Would it be too rude to ask Joachim about their lifes' paths Vernon?
Thanks Konrad, glad you enjoyed it. I'm hoping to Interview Joachim again to wrap up this series and will ask him your questions(many are wondering this same thing)
Just to reiterate from episode one...a real gem of a find, if only for how it was to do filming and then edit it into a coherent story. And all get a voice of some sort as this first set of crossings plays out... And good for you to try and beat the goo-goo translate into some kind of sense. My auf Deutsch fled as I did out of high school before these guys ever started on the boat escape....only thing left is my horror at having all the verbs pile up at the end of the sentence...but there you go!
Yeah its a lot of work, google doesn't like Zee German much. Takes between 4-7 hours per episode. Joachim is fine as he speaks slowly and carefully, the kids are the opposite but I'm hoping that will improve as they get better at it.
Hi Vernon, feed back: I watch the video just now (I am in the US), not one subtitle was displayed ! But is not a big problem to me, I lived in Germany for three years in the 80ths.

@t.
How could we contact Joachim in Lombok or visit him?
Loving getting to see this footage! As Joachim's niece, I've heard some stories through the family and seen photos but this is the first time I'm seeing the videos they filmed of their big sailing adventure.
Ah that's so cool! Really happy that you can see all these episodes.
It could be great to have some news of the rest of the family? The children must be around 50 years old.
Do they sail?
Friendly, Pascal
Utterly astonishing!
Wow, what a story!
It is fantastic to see the children smile while being tossed around by the sea. I like the lantern set on the table & it never moved.
Yeah kids are pretty adaptable, maybe more back then even.
What a treasure! Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure!
Wonderful! Thank you so much for uploading this.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I am lost for words. These guys are unreal. Joachim is quite the poet- at least in German. Can’t wait for the next installment.
glad you're enjoying it
Well done Vernon for putting this out there. A very real adventure with no gps or experienced crew - truly ‘learning by doing’. Thanks!
Much appreciated!
What a wonderful report about his family and the journey! Unbelievable compared with the equipment what he used in 1977 to produce such a movie!
Yep, was a bit different back then for sure, pretty easy now
very injoyable
Some wild waves, much more than anything I’ve seen online.
Wonderfully presented! One of the best...
Thank you kindly!
Fantastic. Thank you for sharing this material with the world after so many years.

You're very welcome
Brilliant, thanks for sharing. the children talking about the waves and the wind is poetic. You almost yearn for calmer seas for them
Absolutely
Am thoroughly enjoying it. Thank you
You are very welcome
The real MVP is Dagmar! What an amazing voice to make to travel with them. This is a great story. Thanks Vern
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing- thanks for sharing this. What a different world it was then, proper frontier stuff! No hi Tec help, hats off to these brave souls!
Couldn't agree more!
Merci Vernon !
This is an awesome project! Thanks!

Good for you guys, failing and learning from it is really winning.
Loving how the kids viewpoint is expressed in the video!!! Hope Dagmar received a teaching award!!!
I hope so too!
Awesome! Thanks much for sharing

You can do it!
It is interesting to see how attitudes change. I would guess now most children and also adults would be tethered in such weather. But I was about 10 at the time this was filmed. Being driven around in cars with no seatbelts or any other safety equipment.
Impressive waves captured on film. Thanks for sharing as always.
Yeah exactly, different times and attitudes. Very relevant in the decisions being made during the last 12 months.
First video I've seen that really captures the rough seas. Probably still doesn't do it justice but I got the sense of the roughness.
Yep, was for sure rougher that it looked.
Did he have camera on some sort of gimbal?
Fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
You bet!
Real adventure - so nice to watch - thanks Vernon...please share 🖖💪👍😂

Lots of French-made boats have navigation domes. It is cold up there.
How did he do his photography , to keep the camera steady. Wow . So brave.

Thanks so much Bert
The 31 year old teacher left her husband behind to teach 4 children on a boat on a 4 year voyage? Can someone explain that to me?
What needs explaining? I guess Dagmar herself would be the only person able to tell you her reasons.
Wow great see Englisch sub, very good , so more people can follow
You found it, enjoy!
😍
Wait. What happened with their dog?
It went to another family close by I think
23:38 Hold up, I thought Marie was his mother? o.O And he calls her by first name
Haha, thought that too. Apparently some upperclass French do call their parents by their first names.
22:28 No life vest o.O

Agree, only minor mistakes. And my german is pretty decent ;-)
