Great shiow, very well presented and educational too. And after all that hard sailing, she was still the belle of the ball at the Barbie! Don't know how you do it. Slim looks after you very well, I reckon, even with all his duties on the boat, he keeps one eye on you at all times. A good man indeed.
This was SO well done you guys!! Top notch production. Especially interesting for me (Allison), since my grandfather on mums side is actually a Houtman of Dutch decent. Long history of seafaring ancestry I suppose😅
I am so happy to see you again! As a newer subscriber, I have been binge watching past episodes. You both and Myles have won my heart. Your happiness and optimistic mindset are inspiring. I hope to see your beautiful country one day. I look forward to the next episode.
As a Hollander I loved the Batavia story. I knew about it but for you both to actually be there on the island and tell us more made it that much more real. You are amazing story tellers. Keep them coming!
Hi Soph and Slim, just a quick word from the city of Gouda - Netherlands (yes, from the cheese). The brothers 'Frederik and Cornelis de Houtman' where born here, just a couple of 100 meters from our house, history is sometimes so far away and also so closeby. We have a nice statue in the park over here. Keep up your channel - we really love it! Frank Jan and Yvonne
As a born Nederlander, I would say "Batavia" the way you have. As to the explorer "Houtman," you are going "hootman." I think it would be closer to "Howtman." Amazing how many Dutch names and terms have survived the centuries in your biggish part of the world. And Amazing how persistent you two are in your circumnavigation, given the hurdles you have had to overcome. Cheers!
Awesome! And oopsies for the Houtman pronunciation...Yes, they made a serious impact in the history books! Pretty incredible stuff. And cheers, always just gotta push through! 😁
What a great video. Incredible tales/tails from history and the Crays. I look forward to seeing you next week. I always enjoy your efforts to produce interesting vlogs while studying for your Degrees.
Such excellent story telling Soph. Your uni studies might be in lost with this great skill you have and are developing. Thank you both for taking us on a journey with beauty, adventure and learning.
The cool thing about crays is you can keep them alive for extended time and do not need to use your fridge. So, a boatload of Crays before a passage would be really good ! There is a 23 episode of Batavia on UA-cam ! It isn't acted, but read, with lots of illustrations. Absolutely beautiful video, Amazing , Thankyou !
Great story, thanks for the education. That lobster cook looked like a ton of fun. Glad you guys got a break and some socializing. Thanks for the video!
Awesome vid, what a brilliant adventure. Those crayfish look absolutely delicious. It's fantastic when good people team up & become friends while adventuring around the planet. I used to live in Oz, always dreamt of returning by yacht from England's south coast.
I am subscribed Slim and thoroughly enjoying the West coast episodes. Popcorn crayfish eh? That made me salivate. Keep up the great work. See you in Fremantle.
Thanks so much guys.Love your channel .Renovating a 1985 30 foot Miura and you give me hope to be brave and just go for it.Once again thanks and keep up the good work .😀
Fascinating story of the islands . I have recently read about Matthew flinders and George bass and their circumnavigation of Australia ( 1798 circa) I am finding your Vlogs on of your voyage just as intriguing and fascinating. I sailed the world on merchant vessels but never reached the antipodes. Keep the UA-cam videos coming
Thank you Slim and Soph. A great episode. As we do boat jobs before heading on our next adventure, we love the way you are able to share with such generosity and skill.
Thanks so much! So glad you're enjoying the videos. Hope the boat jobs are going well! 😊 We know exactly what you're going through, the adventure will make it all worth while 🙌
Aweeee, thanks so much. Really glad you enjoyed it! And appreciate your kind feedback. You never know how it's going to hit, so I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the watch🥰
I did a trip on an oil rig from Bass Strait and up the west coast to Bali (travelled between Lombok and Bali volcanoes). Tow was scary the seas down there can be nasty. We got blown backwards for 3 days, lost the tow and nearly got helicoptered off. I was the Radio Officer. We averaged 3 knots....took weeks!!! Great channel.
Slim and Soph - this was an EPIC episode ! I LOVE the history ! When I was in Tonga many years ago I bought a book that was essentially Captain Cook's logs of his time there and it was absolutely fascinating.... I have already ordered Fitzsimons book on Amazon and I am really looking forward to reading it. Brutality on the open seas was just a fact of life back in the day - I don't relish that but it sure makes for interesting reading... Thank you both for being such spectacular humans and providing me and so many others with a window into your lives... I SO wish I could be doing what you do. Take care and be safe ! Fair winds and moderate swells through WA ;-)
Wooohooo! So so so glad you enjoyed it! Hope you enjoy the read, it's truly fascinating and gruesome stuff! Cheers legend, appreciate your kind words and we're looking forward to sharing the next one with you!
An other cracking episode guy's , love the intro to the history of the first Europeans to discover Australia. so envious of all the crays that you dined on, oh I'm pretty sure that would have been Thousands of $'s worth of cray's and that excluding the setting.
Cheers! Yes, we are certainly lucky that we can access an abundance of fresh crayfish, although we've poured thousands into the boat, you seem to forget about that. The saying that sailing is the most expensive way to get somewhere for free is truly bang on 😂
Congratulations and thank you for an incredible insight into the history of this area. Oh, those crays! I assume there are rules around how many you can take. A book you may be interested in perusing is one called "The Savage Shore" by Graham Seal. He gives a good insight into early maritime voyages of discovery to Australia (back in the days when Australia was known as "Southland"). Cheers and safe travels.
So glad you enjoyed the story. Yes, there is a bag limit for crays, it's 8 per license holder. The max we ever took in one day was 3. We only ever take what we need for one day 😊 Awesome, we will have a look into it! Cheers!
Thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed it! We're about 90% sure we found the well, however, there was no water in it at the time so we didn't include it in case we weren't correct😊 Cheers for tuning in, appreciate it 😊
Just drove from Perth to Broome and back down the western coast in a big loop. I can say that the wild coast is what you Aussies say is heaps better than the interior route by road. Love the channel. All the best from the US
Oh awesome!! Sounds like an epic trip! I think if we were to do it again it would be by road along the coast 😅 Glad to hear you're enjoying the videos! Cheers!
Reading the Batavia book, I've nearly got to Cape Town. Under impressed with the author's grasp of the maritime stuff so far but he's spinning the human story well. See how it goes with the mutiny, wreck & sex slavery! Keep up the good work! Mike
Cool! We haven't heard of that one but we will have a look into it. The only reason we read the Peter Fitzsimons' Batavia is because it was given to us by a friend. Otherwise, I don't even think we'd known the story existed 😅
Yummy, I miss our cray fishing days tho we used drop pots, as not good at diving. We owned our own boat, which , needed. The story of the Batavia mutiny and the coins discovered on the ship, everyone that could dive ,scored. Well narrated
Fitzsimons Batavia is amazing…I worked in Perth…met with Hugh Edwards of Abrolhos fame…..may have seen an artifact or two (allegedly)….great story. On my 40’ cat but a long way away! Thanks, Andrew
Slim and Soph, we love you and enjoyed your expedition to the shipwrecked island!!! Slim we’re also very glad to see you using sunblock!!!! Your face is too cute to have it get cut up due to cancer! Take care and look forward to more of your adventures
Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed it. Hehe, don't worry about Slim, he reapplies sunscreen like a thousand times a day 😂 He's pretty onto it. Cheers, see you next time!
So glad you read the Fitzsimmons book .. what a story eh! And they have a museum in Perth (or freo?) with stuff from the actual wreck. Loving the videos.
Wonderful video and great summary of a great story. But you’re right, there’s so much more to it. Hope you stayed inside the catch limits for the crays there. The fines are horrendous for going over them. Including forfeiture of your boat!
❤ Brilliant! Thank you for the history lesson. Hey! Key West Waterman channel took the week off and published a daily series about spearfishing! Not that you two are novices, you're legends! Just remember... there's always something more clever than yourself. 😉 Much ❤ and respect from Central Texas. ✌️❤️🚀🤠 ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
Hey guys. Great episode. Where RU in real time now? Just now looking outside and the weather is terrible atm (Just South of Perth). Hope you are tucked away somewhere safe. M
I caught a glimpse of a dirt landing strip that looked suitable for a bush plane at 22:33 on the upper left. It must be comforting to know you could still summon emergency services if necessary.
Interesting you say that; as over the radio, in our time there, we heard a horrific injury had taken place on a commercial boat of one of the nearby islands. The injured person was in fact airlifted to the mainland within a matter of hours
Slim….UA-cam won’t let me subscribe a second time. 😊🫣🤭 OMG 😱 you guys, what a great story and episode ‼️ Loved the group interaction and of course, the meal time 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 See you next time. ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝️👙🌞✨
We have not been jealous once watching you guys getting bashed by the west coast - until now. We read Fitzsimons' excellent book when it was released and would love to walk those islands like you did. Thanks for doing it for us. Cheers!
That was quite an informative history lesson. I have a question: Does Nakama use AIS? We had a look to see if we could follow your journey across the bottom of Australia, but the only Nakama sailing vessel showing up over the last few weeks says it's moored near Hobart. We wish you fair winds and pleasant skies. ⛵️
Haha, these are the rewarding moments that you truly have to soak in so when sh*t's hitting the fan and we want to sell the boat, we reflect on those awesome moments with friends eating fresh crays and it's gets us through 🙌
Slim & Soph this was an excellent video history lesson. Very Very interesting. And wow all those cray fish and also looked like a lot of eatable fish in the water also. The big cook up you had at the end made me hungry. You seemed to have a great bunch of sailer friends amongst you. Cheers catch you next video. And yea that Wallaby was cute. Do they have teeth and would they bite if they were cornered so to speak. I googled this "People who make the choice that the only red meat they eat will be wallaby, based on all the ethics behind it." A spokesperson for the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia says kangaroo meat, including wallaby meat, is one of the "healthiest and most sustainable red meats in the world".Jun 18, 2023 Catch you next video
Thanks legend, glad you enjoyed the story! Yes lots of fish in the water, unfortunately, while we were there there was a demersal fin fish closure so we couldn't take any fish although it wasn't terrible only having to eat crayfish 😅 And yep, super fortunate we found a great group of people here, it truly keeps you going having a sense of camaraderie around you 😊 Cheers legend, catch you next time!

You have the correct pronunciation: Batahvia (I am dutch). and Houtman would be pronounced as the guy below suggested but I would add that it's a hard 'n: Howtmann
We are 90% sure we found the well, but it was dry at the time did not include the footage as we were not 100% sure, there is a museum in Perth that has all sorts of amazing finds from shipwrecks along the coast including the batavia that we will be checking out in videos to come
PROBABLY THE PROBLEM WAS MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT WERE ON THAT SHIP 400 YEARS AGO COULDN'T SWIM SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN JUST HOW MUCH FOOD WAS UNDERWATER
We think we found the well but could not be 100% sure so chose not to include the footage incase we didint have our facts straight, but 90% sure we found the well and interestingly it was dry at the time

Really enjoying your journey. Hope that maybe I'll meet you both in Hobart at the beginning of January. Safe sailing. John
So glad to hear that! Cheers!
It is Batavia, as you say it. Cheers, Jeroen from Holland (Batavia)
@@jeroenvanraalten372 amazing! I needed a Dutch to confirm this for me! 😁

Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it!
That was a really great episode
Thanks so much!
Reading the Batavia book, I've nearly got to Cape Town. Under impressed with the author's grasp of the maritime stuff so far but he's spinning the human story well. See how it goes with the mutiny, wreck & sex slavery! Keep up the good work! Mike
We found it was a bit of a slow start due to the backstory needed, but once things start unfolding we were hooked! Hope you enjoy it
@tileuxPalsearts account is more factual and interesting. Peter's writing is a drudge.
😀😀👍👍❤❤ Thank you both. Great editing as always, indeed!
Thanks so much! Always appreciate it😊
Excellent video thank for sharing the great story
'Islands of Angry Ghosts' by Hugh Edwards is the go to book on the Batavia.
He was on the team that found the wreck and is a excellent author.
Cool! We haven't heard of that one but we will have a look into it. The only reason we read the Peter Fitzsimons' Batavia is because it was given to us by a friend. Otherwise, I don't even think we'd known the story existed 😅

Wonderful video and great summary of a great story. But you’re right, there’s so much more to it. Hope you stayed inside the catch limits for the crays there. The fines are horrendous for going over them. Including forfeiture of your boat!
Well and truly under, bag limit is 8 per day, we took a max of three in a day🙂

great underwater footage at 15:23 !
Ahoy Slim & Soph, great work. If you think the wallaby is cute wait to you get to see the Quokka's at Rottnest (Rat nest named by the Dutch also)
Hehe, yes the Quokkas are so awesome 😀
Been fascinated by the Batavia, since I learnt about in 80s
Brilliant episode. Maybe you should get some royalties from the book sales because you've inspired me to go buy a copy!
We had an Amazon link but they were sold out there I think 😂 Hope you enjoy the read!
That was quite an informative history lesson.

Most awesome, I’m trying to catch up.
What a struggle! Having to survive on crayfish, cooked every which-way. It’s a rough life, but someone has to do it!
Haha, these are the rewarding moments that you truly have to soak in so when sh*t's hitting the fan and we want to sell the boat, we reflect on those awesome moments with friends eating fresh crays and it's gets us through 🙌

When are you guys going past Sholl Island or Fortescue Island?? Ill shout yu dinner!
The wallabies are called Tammar "Taymar" a small wallaby species. Tammar's are also on Garden island south side of Perth
Cheers for the heads up!
You have the correct pronunciation: Batahvia (I am dutch). and Houtman would be pronounced as the guy below suggested but I would add that it's a hard 'n: Howtmann
thankyou !
Did anyone ever find the the loot from the ship? I heard it was silver. Did you ever find the water on the island?
We are 90% sure we found the well, but it was dry at the time did not include the footage as we were not 100% sure, there is a museum in Perth that has all sorts of amazing finds from shipwrecks along the coast including the batavia that we will be checking out in videos to come
@@SlimandSophSailingNakama Cool. I'm looking forward to seeing that video.
So where was the water found, and why was it there? That is the important part of the survival, and story.
Sahara's wallaby taste❤😊😊
Well done guys.

Cheers legend
PROBABLY THE PROBLEM WAS MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT WERE ON THAT SHIP 400 YEARS AGO COULDN'T SWIM SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN JUST HOW MUCH FOOD WAS UNDERWATER

Did you find water on that island?
We think we found the well but could not be 100% sure so chose not to include the footage incase we didint have our facts straight, but 90% sure we found the well and interestingly it was dry at the time
It’s an amazing story and it’s said 2 were put ashore near Kalbarri and the DNA of local inhabitants of the time is another story 🙏🤙
Yes! How interesting, wish we could have delved into it more but it would have turned into a 2 hour long video 😂
