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

Thanks for hopping on board with us this week! Could you live your life at sea? And if you couldn't, what would be holding you back? Also, if you enjoyed this video, please consider sharing it with someone you think would also find escapism from it.
Living life at sea is the dream! My main concern is seasickness. I have had it a couple times, and been perfectly fine others. Neither of you seem to struggle with it at all. Any tips/tricks/magic solutions that might help me put it away for good?
Captain: "What is your offering to Neptune?" Zach: "My dignity"
lol
Great video. This old man (80) can only dream about what you feel. Thank you for sharing.
Our pleasure, thanks for joining us!
You definitely deserve more recognition for this!
Becka & Zack: I've been following your channel for several years and I must say, the episode's keep getting better and better. The material, story telling, cinematography, sound and editing is right on smashingly elegant. We are so Happy, crossing another episode off your bucket list is what we all should be doing. Shellback's for life!
Thank you so much for your kind words and continued support! We're thrilled that you're still here and enjoying each episode. Cheers David 😊
Well done! The effort and passion are evident.
Crossing ceremonies never get tired. Special indeed.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
As a humble monohull sailor, who has, I have to admit, disparaged Cats for years, seeing life and comfort on that floating apartment has been an eye opener .. another superb episode, great storytelling, superb filming and editing, and also as always, and unlike many other YT channels, really good episode length ! Thanks so much, my Mondays have changed for ever !!!
It seems the "floating apartment" has won you over! Cats might not be so bad after all ahaha. Thank you Andy, we work really hard on putting these longer episodes together. Comments like this make it all worth it 😊
The amount of knowledge you have gained in your travels is immense. I imagine it is a pleasure to be on a boat that is super equipped. Hopefully you can up your game as you travel further in the Pacific. You guys are definitely role models.
Thank you for your kind words! We're constantly looking to improve and gain our knowledge. Cheers 😊
@@TeuluTribei agree. I wish you’d share some of those tidbits for those of us curious about how things aboard work. Such as the spinnaker; what makes it different and why it’s used at that time instead of another sail. Like how you talked about the different nav screens. Absolutely enjoy your channel, thank you for sharing your adventures for those of us stuck at home on land. Keep up the great work.
Its a Monday again which means.. Teulu Tribe whoop whoop !!
Enjoy the vid! Let us know what you think 😊
@@TeuluTribe Loved this really funny ! But Wow those Dolphins 🐬 amazing Becka
LOL! Ian was having too much fun with that flour and eggs! Congrats, Shellbacks!
He sure was 😂
is Bekka the the coolest woman on you tube right now , yes she is
I couldn't agree more - Zach
Yall
I stopped the video halfway through and went and worked on my boat!
Thank you for the inspiration 🙏.
-Cliff
❤❤❤
Love you kids! I sooo appreciated Becka's idea of Zach wearing her bathingsuit bottoms. We need thumbnails of that. Congrats on becoming Shellbacks! That spinnaker is gorgeous, isn't it. Safe travels. ❤
You guys will get your navigation equipment through sponsorship, without a doubt. Your adventures are fast becoming the best sailing circ stories out there. You're well deserved and we look forward to lots more...
We are currently working on some upgrades for this summer. Thank you for the kind words 🙏
This was a great episode! Love living vicariously through you all. Cheers!
Cheers Dan!
Take care you two . You are Absolutely Brilliant. Xx
Ian 🥹 YOU are absolutely brilliant for following along!
WOW! The 360 camera at the end was just amazing. Good job Becka. So in the last video I warned you about the allure of a catamaran after you've sailed on one, especially after a passage. The room, the comfort, the speed, these are all so different from Teulu. I know you love Teule but I would be the last person to try a predict your future. I just love your channel. Stay safe. ❤🙏
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the 360 camera footage. It was a really different way to do a passage. At the moment we have no plans to change Teulu, she absolutely perfect for us and we have a really big season planned next year for her. But never say never 😊 Cheers Steve!
@@TeuluTribe Hanging on your coattails to see where we end up and what adventures you share with us. I am a faithful follower. ❤🙏
That's quite interesting Zach wearing your bottoms Becca. Lmao 😅😂😊
Congrats and kudos to you both on becoming Shell backs! This might be my favorite video yet....which even though I say that all the time, I always mean it! lol Already looking forward to the next installment on your journey 😊Have a great week, guys!
This was the best for yall to sail on a different boat and find out what it’s like. Great equator crossing and the ceremony that was done and to funny. On a different note loved the podcast yall did with Ocean cruisers yall did amazing. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! We had a blast experiencing the equator crossing and the ceremony on the different boat. We also loved doing the podcast 😊
Beck did you get a new Turtle Tattoo? What a wonderful sail ⛵️. Love this episode. 😀
Just a temporary one 😂
@@TeuluTribe lol gotta try it out first. Smart. Love you guys.
Congratulations on 100k onwards and upwards
You are Such a refreshing Pair of Sailors
All the very best to you from us in Southwest England
Easy on the eyes
We still can't believe it! This community is amazing ❤️ Thank you 🙏
Nice Sail on Cat…Good Amenities…Easy to be Spoiled😜 But Very Expensive…But OK for Experience👍…Continue to Stay Safe and Enjoy 😎
Very easy to be spoiled on a cat, it was definitely good for the experience 😊 Thanks Steven!
This was a feel good video and you know what? It felt good. Very nice. As to the birds, maybe have a super-soaker water gun on board? The one kids play with? You probably don't have to fill it with fresh water.
We are glad that it came across like that! A super-soaker would have been a good idea, it's just a shame they were trying to land on the one place we couldn't let them land 😅
Such a beautiful time to remember for ever! Great friends = great times! Enjoy this please guys!
Radar and navionics upgrade for Teulu? ... Becka's bloody doin' it! Loved this episode and seeing more sailing, and your comparisons with Teulu ❤ . Have a great week both of you!
You read our minds Paul 🤫 Cheers!
Apparently "polliwog", says Oxford Languages, is North American dialect for "tadpole". Which gives rise to understanding at one level and rise to concern at another: this case of British sailors
Becka your 360 views with the dolphins at the end was wonderful footage! If you dipped it in under the surface do you think it would frighten them away. I bet not, they don’t seem the skittish types?!
Totally awesome again, thank you.
Loved seeing you guys with Ian!!❤️ Great episode and capture of the crossing! ❤
Thanks you two! We loved our time with him again 😊
That was some impressive videography well done
Good vlog. Sounds like you need an upgrade on instruments, especially if you’re thinking of a spinnaker. True and apparent wind speed as well as wind angle essential. Suggest a cruising shoot rather than a spinnaker as more versatile and easier to handle when short handed. Also cruising shoot generally needs less kit so less expensive. Keep sailing!😊
Shellbacks ahoy!
Each time I watch these days there is a new accomplishment, TY for making my day every time. :D
Get a BB-gun (pellet gun, whatever. Once the damn birds claim your boat as their turf, nothing less will do.
Wow! Just wow!
Thank you for sharing!
Fair winds and following seas from California! 🧡
Thanks for bringing us along!
That was so beautiful!!!! I am dreaming of joining you all on the open seas, land locked in the middle of the north america. It is possible and one day we will see!! Thank you all for your amazing story!! Keep living Just WOW!!
Enjoyed this video a lot! A tour of the boat would have been great. I love catamarans.
Looks like you were having a wonderful time! Thanks for sharing. :-) Richard (UK)
Life is good out here! and thanks YOU for watching Richard!
I love watching you guys sail
Thats an inspired bit of footage at 40:15, very cool.
Great Vlog guys!!!!
I loved this episode!
Breath taking as always ❤
Thanks for sharing
Loved this upload per usual
Thank you 😊
these videos could be 24 hours long and I wouldn't get tired
Awww thank you ☺️
A lot to unpack on that one.. (Zach in budgie smugglers !! Good work). Awesome video again, and i loved the casual throw in of the dolphins at the end, what a fantastic moment.😎
Very enjoyable video! I also love sailing in wallowing seas Becka, especially that superb feeling of total osmosis with the ocean and nature, Cheers
Beautiful cat, and stunning blue water.
Congratulations, your bloody doing it, and on a very nice Kat with lots of nice toys ie: radar etc.
Keep having fun and fantastic videos
Cdn. Dave
Very good well done love it 👍
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I really really love this video of your journey guys. Becca, you are a most excellent narrator with the way you set the scenes we are about to watch. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
You are too kind Ken, thank you 🙏
Your channel is just fascinating to see your trips but! For me it is the total difference compared to when I did this with my parents in there boat! I cannot remember the name of the autopilot but it was a good one and that was just great fun! The radar was a genuine tube type! LOL Oh the difference is just stunning! That trip looked stunning! Thank you for doing it and thank you to your friend that you helped! 😊😉👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌
🔥GREAT VIDEO GUYS 🔥
Fun loving time out there enjoy great friends 😊
Laughing- loved Zak in your bather bottoms.. congrats to the new SHELLBACKS 🐳🐬🐢🐢🐢🐬🐳
Brilliant!
Cheers!
Great Odin’s raven! That is one dandy big tortoise!
What is amazing is to think navigators like Cook went around the globe several times with no charts and no electronic help whatsoever, they dealt with the weather as it occurred
That’s great, and we have a lot of respect for them, but that’s simply not what we want to do, just as people embrace car and mobile techonology, we too embrace the technology which helps keep us more comfortable and safe on board 😊 p.s Cook was on 105ft boat, which could, without a doubt, handle unexpected weather better than a 40ft boat
@@TeuluTribe ..the comment was meant as a comparison not a criticism..
Looked a cracking sail welcome to the club a few to go before catching me. I think I'm ten times crossing the line.
Another great video.
Thank you Ken 😁
@@TeuluTribe you are welcome. I love watching you. BTW, it’s Kennis (female), not Ken. With that said, at 68years old, I am used to the assumption. 🇺🇸 living in 🇬🇧
That is so cool. 👍🍻
Becka, that catameran looks oh so good on you. Sounds like a channel fundraiser required to get u new electronic gadgets on yr boat. Anything to make life easier and safer. The 3 of u made a great team
The turtle.. damn! 😂
What a beautiful crossing. Looks like you guys had so much fun. Who knew boobies made so much mess. Then that stunning ending where Becka was sitting on the bow with glass calm seas and dolphins swimming by. Thank you for bringing us along.
wow sailor great episode
Absolutely brilliant.
I’m a huge fan of glass, it makes you sail so fast, you might think you’ve installed a turbocharger on your SV!
How awesome Keanu Reeves let you sail with him 🙂 He's got a nice boat too!
Gorgeous Thumbnail :):):)
Thanks!
Thank you so much as always Dan! 😁
My pleasure!
Becka you've got to try grilled cheese w/dill pickles or dill seasoning. Then dip it in ketchup! It is the best! Almost the same but different
Loved the video. Thanks! Maybe it's mentioned somewhere else, but what kind of cat is this?
Thanks for your signal Becka and Zack. To answer your question, yes I could have lived at sea, but what is stopping me is mostly too many birthdays (I am now 84, and feeling every day of it). I also could not financially afford it.
Great stuff guys, Im not sure about catamarans myself, they can be extremely efficient but I think I'd rather be in a monohull in heavy weather.......Loved the Neptune ceremony!!
Hi Becka and Zach. Great episode. Nice to see you enjoying the new experience of sailing on a Cat, with a Spinnaker for power. Sounds to me, that all your future upgrades to Teulu, are going to be somewhat expensive. Also sounds like you wish you'd bought a Cat, instead of a Monohull. Maybe a few years and a couple of Oceans later. Russ. UK.
Thank you Russ! We might just be getting one very soon 🤫 We have no regrets about getting Teulu, she has been and still is the perfect boat for us ❤️
super fun u2
Loved this one a lot! Does Zach have a channel?
I just watched the part where you said you were “ joined by some bids, eight of them altogether” but I heard “joined by some birds. I ate them all together” and did a double take. 😊
You're getting some muscles there Bec
❤❤❤
Thats a very high tech parrafoil spinaker ... Light air optimum sail ...but dont snag it.😉
It definitely was a fancy bit of kit!
That must've been the first sunlight contact in years
❤
Awesome sauce as per usual.. there's a special place in my heart for monohulls but I have never experienced a catamaran in the Open water what did you guys think
8:31 got a nice view there pal, huh!? 😅😜
There you go you're finally getting those thumbnails down😮😊
Still can't believe a U.S. warship ran into a freighter a couple years ago. wonder if the shipping lanes have any restrictions near ports for even deep water recreational boaters. I thought boobies had blue feet but then they did have blue beaks. Wonder what cruise ships do to discurouge the birdies coming to roost 🤣🤣🤣 I'm guessing Birdies remind you your part of the earth 😊
Beautiful sail. Nice CAT your friend has. Does this make you want a CAT now or stay Mono haul ?
That was surprising how fast the authorities of the Galapagos wanted you out after their exit inspection. I know people who have been to the Galapagos 30 or so years back. They say it is totally built up and to many people live there now. It's no longer a sanctuary for the marine life and animals that call these islands home. Looking forward to next video
Just remember that Birds of a Feather Poop together… so if you like cleaning up poop you are headed in the right direction…
In the U.S. Navy during WWII, sailors had to shave their heads at their first equator crossing.
At 30:28 on your video something jumps out the water on your left hand side our right hand side.
You should read a book a called 117 Days Adrift by Maurice and Maralyn Bailey. You not very far from where that happened. I read it a day out of the Galápagos heading to Panama in 1984. A venturi kite is unusual, good on cats but a bit more troublesome on a mono
Sailing with John Wick how cool is that !!😅
How do you like the catamaran vs your boat?
“ I love it when birds join us!” 5 min later…….. “ the boobies pooped all over the solar panels…. Stupid birds” love it! Becka is so funny!
Keep the alinement stripe lined up with the leading edge of the sail.
Nice video, love your channel. Birds, they poop on everything and we humans have to clean it all up because of them or suffer from seeing an smelling it. Yes, to those who don't know first hand, it does stink Bad.
I was just thinking about sea and ocean salt. The fresh water makers most boats have now remove the salt from the ocean water so we can use it, so what happens to the salt it removes. Can you pour the extra salty water onto a dryer table to keep the salt crystals and make your own table and cooking salt. I know salt from different countries seem to make different colors and different tastes than regular salt that comes from the ground in deposits deep underground in the mines. Does anyone know what the water maker does with the extra salty water because I'd think it would be sent overboard as waste, but think if you could actually capture that salt. If we could save it and by the time you got to your destination just think about being able to sell or trade it for food or cooking fuel, like propane or white fuel. I think if, an this is a big if, if you could run the discharge salt water waste to a drying table and to save space what about putting the drying trays under the solar panels because the solar panels will help keep birds and other stuff away from the trays while they are drying up the water and leaving only the salt behind. Just some idea i was thinking about here almost at 2am. Ok good night and good luck. Keep your eyes pointed to the front and see where you go next. Good luck and stay safe. Share the Love, it's the glue that holds everything together in our Universe. That is the Truth.
Oh wait, Another question, I've only been on one catamaran many years ago and I was wondering is a double pontoon better or is a triple pontoon better as far as riding the waves for a smoother ride. I know you have more living space having the third pontoon under you. But does it ride better or worse having the third one under you. Thanks from Missouri USA.
On a Cat I assume you do not need a spinnaker pole? Makes life so easy for two!!
