Always making me smile. You have the formula down. Your videos are by far the best on UA-cam. Thank you again for sharing your lives with the world. Stay safe.
I enjoy watching several sailing videos of folks sailing around the world and have decided the Sailing Family is my favorite with Sailing Zartara a close second. Elizabeth and Seth do a wonderful job at presentations and the boys appear to be happy. Nice family and I’m sure I would like Seth in real life. Be safe Seth and family!
Yea! I’m first! For the best sailing channel out there. Love the surfing, I’ve been surfing all my life, so jealous. This channel so rocks! I don’t think there is a better way to live! And how lucky are you, Seth, to have Elizabeth as your fellow adventurer for life, just incredible, you guys always leave me without words.
My wife and I are addicted to your video's and adventures. We wished we could have given our son and daughter that kind of life. But it is what it is. Funny thing, we've never sailed a boat, we have no clue what it all means when you describe the winds are apparent, and this and that ... different names of the sails. BUT it doesn't matter. At 70 I'm not about to start sailing (but I do still hike mountains and fly my drones). Thank You and your wonderful family for putting out such perfect videos. We absolutely look forward to each episode !!!
Love your comment! As you say, you really don't need to know, and sailing is really third or fourth, or tenth, in rank of what we are trying to do here. But "True Wind" is what you would feel standing still. But if you walked toward the wind, the "apparent wind" would increase, which is what happens when a sailboat sails up wind too. Since the wind hitting the sails changes, the "apparent wind" becomes the more important measure of the wind speed. I hope that helps!!! ~Seth
@@TheSailingFamily Thank You ! We watch in awe of your voyages. We have sailed many time, but on a Cruise ship. Haha... travelled all over the world, rode out Bicycles Across America... and just enjoy adventures. At 70 I'm back to climbing mountains here in NH. Thank You for all your hard work and time to produce these wonderful video's. Safe travels to you and your wonderful family !
Another wonderful video. You guys are just good people and great videographers and storytellers. Your children are experiencing an amazing start to their lives due to you both. 👏🌬⚓🌴
I like that plan. Keep a lookout for Charlie, the 7ft potato cod (grouper) who resides at the south end of Whitehaven and spent 15 mins looking at Kandi on the swim platform ( see my recent IG posts) He weighs at least 220lb and is a real beauty.
Loving the videos team archer!! In my culture mantaray brings strength and wisdom, seeing that the young boys had seen it, shows a bright future for the 3 lads. Again thank you for the videos, keep it coming sailing family.
I am a UA-cam sailor and love all channels sailing, this one has the best story lines and audio ! , the sound editing outstanding. Even thou I know the ending of your story I can't wait till next week!
Excellent video bro. You and your family surfing some of the best reef breaks on earth?? Amazing. I love that your kids are learning and y’all will get to do it together forever. 🤙🏾🤙🏾 I can’t wait til you get your cymatic … some day.
Let's please pause and be thankful for our health and that we haven't lost our life to this devastating virus. Pray for those that perished and the one living with debilitating COVID conditions. 🙏
Nah Dog, shut the front door! What was that beautiful shell covered Neptune's maiden of the sea looking Hot Mama at the 15:14 mark. Yowza!! WOW!! OK, I will simmer down now, Best Sailing Family Videos on youtube!! But.... Just Wow Elizabeth!!
PS: Seth your boys are going to be shredding you before long and they won't be looking back! The future is looking a little glum there for you buddy. lol
Loved seeing the brief sighting with the sailing Zatara kiddos at the bday gathering… even though your kiddos have an age gap, you absolutely need to do a couple collab episodes - will be a force multiplier for both channels!
I have faith you guys will do well with a berth an I really have faith it's your best choice... An I just adore your family n all your friends. 80ft sailboat was stunning I loved the interior. But xracing boat has everything love it!!! ✌🏻💗😊❣️
Wondered what really happened..... before Australia arriving...... Now i share your frustrations.... Seth and your family.... you guys are awesome!!!! No fear and never give up guys!!!!!
Love watching your videos and watching your adventures. Having them so late takes some of the punch out of them though. We know by watching another channel, we knew you had Halloween in Fiji and then a storm came in. You put Archer in a storm protected berth and did OK. We also know you eventually get into Australia because of your very informative video you did. Hope you have a chance to get caught up. Love watching them. it's great seeing you, you family and your boys have so much fun!!
I watched the refit video of that 80’ Aussie sailboat. They are truly talented people that did a fantastic job. It’s a lot of boat…but it sure is beautiful. With it’s deep keel, it’s not going to fit in the shallows…that’s for sure. Glad you guys made okay. 👍👍👍
Great footage of the surfing, those conditions looked incredible. 12:42 during the birthday party one of the young ladies looked like Kate from Sailing Zatara but I could be wrong as I didn't see her brothers or parents. If you want to see pure joy, put a couple of kids on a tube behind a boat. LOL. My daughters loved doing that.
That was Kate. There was Finn behind her wearing his 'Z' shirt. Also, I could make out Renee talking with one of the mothers in a distance shot. Finn was playing guitar on deck later during the party.
@@marceld6061 Thanks, I don't know how I missed Finn playing his guitar. Now it's going to bug me and I'll have to go back and watch the episode again. Lol. Kate has a very distinctive look and is easy to pick out of a crowd. Good looking kids, all of them.
Yep, that was the Z Crew. We sailed with them in Fiji, especially toward the end of the season. Get ready for a whole lot more of them since we sail together to Australia! ~S
the boys are growing up so fast! very impressed with their surfing and the filming of it! such fun to see them bouncing around while being pulled about too! i agree with elizabeth …halloween is a fun “holiday “ congrats to pierce for winning! hale’s teeth were awesome! rhys' beard almost matching his hair now that it is growing back out! 🦩🐠
Wowzers! Sure brought back memories of surfing in Fiji when I was there in '87. Glad you had a great time. That 80ft. Monohul sure was cool. Nice vessel! Safe travels. 👍😎👍💕
I think gratitude is a good option. You are insured, you are creating memories and a world class education, you are out there. Life isn't perfect here in COVID USA either and a lot of people would trade places any day!
Hi ,last year you were here , did you sail from Aust to NZ then back to Fiji and now it's the plan to come to Australia again. Many boats have been stuck in Fiji for 2 years !
I've always been a sucker for former race boats being restored as cruisers, but I still love living on a catamaran. My only critique of the 80 footer would be the lack of windows when inside. We sailed so far so that we could experience these places and I feel like you miss so much with a monohull. But that aside, I would trade up for something faster and fancier, if money was no object. Perhaps an HH50 or HH55? The older Gunboats were great too, but require a crew to operate (except the GB48). But, alas, money matters and we're pretty much in our dream boat now. Pinching ourselves every day! ~Seth
Safety first! Stay safe Sailing Family!! Beautiful water!! WoW!! Great to see the surfing kids!! Maybe some pro surfers in the making there!?? Awesome! Beautiful Manta Ray!! Wow super cool! Looks like he was feeding of the stuff attracted to the lights??
Peter, the captain, is a shipwright and manages a boat yard in New Zealand. He knows his stuff and took this boat down to the bones to turn her into a cruiser. It's an incredible boat and a really nice family. You can follow them at @camarasailing ua-cam.com/channels/UGHF0HGKWrucXgyG2RcN9A.html
If you were worried about cyclone season (for real) you wouldn't have left NZ. I get the feeling you'll be fine... lots of boats sit out cyclones in either option in Fiji.
Ha ha. That clip was cut. We took the dingy all the way out there and the wind picked up when we arrived. Not every day is photo perfect! It was a fun ride home. :( ~Seth
How are you going to protect your boat from lighting strikes? I just found the first and only video on that subject that I've ever seen and thought I'd share it with you. @
The light indicates a rich source of bacteria attracting zooplankton ergo it attracts the Manta-ray, coat ,shoal devil fish. It as couple of horns peaceful and majestic they glide through the ocean like giant winged birds reaching 21ft when fully grown which can take 10 years.
Greetings try to contact another UA-camr Gone with the Wynns. The hires a agent to help with their paperwork and they were approved for New Zealand. Good luck!
I think if we really wanted to get into New Zealand we could have pushed for it, but truthfully we had our hearts set on Australia. Tune in next week to see what happens!
Not a chance. Miami would require us to sail directly from Fiji, around Australia, south of Africa and across the Atlantic to the US. It is essentially on the other side of the world without stops! ~S
Kids considered crew and are not allowed…you have to love government rationale. You were all in a beautiful place and having a wonderful time. I am impressed with the surfing skills of the boys.
Ha. I'm not sure. All over the place.The two in this video are a trucker hat from Paws Up resort (what an incredible place that is!) and my trusty Detroit Tigers Hat (I've always had one)... Thanks for asking!
I saw another AMERICAN family from the US on a catamaran some months ago force their way into Australia. I was aghast how they publicized their neg attitude about A on utube as guests to A. Imagine some people from NZ enter Redondo Beach harbor and demand entrance and trash the US on Utube. It would be all over the news. The US had total stop of all entering or trying to enter a yr ago.
Cyclone season is not a good time to be living on a boat in Fiji. We’re pushing our luck and trying to enjoy life (rather than give up), and we pay for it. Stay tuned.
@@TheSailingFamily I just want to thank you for posting this new adventure. I remember watching your first adventure videos way back in the day in law school. It was one of the first things I ever subscribed to on youtube.
As a Kiwi I'm embarrassed that they have used this time as an opportunity to introduce such stand over tactics and as for Australia excepting your money and not permitting entry. Both have shown the world they have no compassion or understanding of the ilnes. But then as you say it was a risk you new you were talking but still, what a world we now live in. Live the dream.🏴☠️
I think that showing disrespect toward NZ people and gov publically on utube they dont want you there. I mean I love you guys and all but the channel is public. I am sure people saw your attitudes expressed toward NZ. Being guests made it look really not nice. So forget about NZ. Enjoy. And THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR AWESOME VIDEOS. I WISH you could offer to the people who work at resort to load all yout boats with their kids and bring them to resort. They all done so much for you.
Thanks Cris, appreciate your comments. We are guests, but we also have the right to come and go. We have the right to disagree with how they welcome us, and they have the right to kick us out too. I hope we made it clear that we really appreciated NZ hosting us for the first phase of the pandemic, but that we ultimately decided that for us it was time to move on. It was a risk we took to leave, and they don't owe us anything. That said, I would have hoped more countries would think logically about cruisers and the risk they present when entering. We can comment on those thoughts and share them publicly - as this is basically our journal. This is our life and what happened. It's an interesting perspective, I hope... ~Seth

These videos are so good, so well done. The social life looks pretty fun with that crew. And finally that 80’ mono was SWEET

Wondered what really happened..... before Australia arriving......
Now i share your frustrations.... Seth and your family.... you guys are awesome!!!!
No fear and never give up guys!!!!!
The next two episodes should be dramatic! :) ~Seth
I'm surprised insurance would cover a boat intentionally left in a hurricane/cyclone zone. Best of luck and look forward to the next video.
Us too. We didn't even ask for it, but when we looked we had the coverage. How strange! ~Seth
Ok, if you wanna fast forward to where this family really are!!! Head to ZATARA family ! And you will see that this family is in Australia!

Manta rays gorgeous
Safety first! Stay safe Sailing Family!! Beautiful water!! WoW!! Great to see the surfing kids!! Maybe some pro surfers in the making there!?? Awesome! Beautiful Manta Ray!! Wow super cool! Looks like he was feeding of the stuff attracted to the lights??
Yeah, the lights attract a whole eco system, but it's still pretty rare to see a Manta Ray down there! So good! ~S
Another great video!
That racer turned cruiser had a nice functional interior.. Not a lot of wood hiding it's bones.

Irreplaceable memories for your family - impressive
We LOVED Fiji. What a place!
What a lovely place to get stuck in...🤪🌊🌊🏄♂️🏄🏄♀️🏄🏄
For sure!
H to you - great videos thank you - if i may ask how far behind are these videos, secondly are you coming to South Africa at all
About 8 months behind. But catching up the real time fast!
What about Tonga? Gone with the Wynns have had good luck with Tonga, during cyclone season. Stay safe and God Bless.
Tonga is right next to Fiji, so both in the Cyclone zone. Plus Tonga was closed, and is still closed. Bummer!
Another great vlog but can you help me out with the time line. How close to real time are your videos?
Halloween might be a clue...
Too true 😂😂
Yeah, this was 8 months back. We're catching up! ~Seth
Yewwwww stoked beyond 🤙🏽🌺💙
🤙
FYI did you see that your Fiji brethren won Gold in rugby! Yahoo!
When are you guys to be present or at least a couple Weeks close to the current date ?
Probably in two months we will be current...
You are enough friends out there , buy an island and build your own marina :) he he - Another great video :)
I wish... ~S
Not many can say you got manta rays in your back garden 🥰
So true!
If you were worried about cyclone season (for real) you wouldn't have left NZ. I get the feeling you'll be fine... lots of boats sit out cyclones in either option in Fiji.
We didn’t expect this whole Covid thing to last this long... Oops.

Not even close to being over...
No footage of Elizabeth surfing and if you pause the video at 7:23, I think someone is a bit unhappy..... What did you do?

This is November last year. They eventually made it into Australia where they currently are to this day
I think if we really wanted to get into New Zealand we could have pushed for it, but truthfully we had our hearts set on Australia. Tune in next week to see what happens!
I thought you were in NZ ?
Is anyone allowed to surf at Tavarua if they arrive by boat ? I thought I heard only people staying on the island could surf there.
Yes. The waves are now freed. Anyone can surf.

Who is your insurance company...if you don't mind me asking?

Ok jabbering a terrible time with insurance, who do you use?
We had Concept Special Risks. Really liked them but they no longer cover boats in Australia.
I saw another AMERICAN family from the US on a catamaran some months ago force their way into Australia. I was aghast how they publicized their neg attitude about A on utube as guests to A. Imagine some people from NZ enter Redondo Beach harbor and demand entrance and trash the US on Utube. It would be all over the news. The US had total stop of all entering or trying to enter a yr ago.
Why did you go to New Zealand, and then leave forFiji? And now want to go back to New Zealand ?
it was cold......wtf.
Cyclone season is not a good time to be living on a boat in Fiji. We’re pushing our luck and trying to enjoy life (rather than give up), and we pay for it. Stay tuned.
Sure hope you're not stuck in Ausie lockdown now.
Thankfully not (yet)!
I want to be stuck in Fiji.
Why would you not go to the west side of Papua New Guinea?
It’s closed to non nationals.
A huge thanks guys!
