I’ve been feeling pretty low and down recently and struggled just to want to be alive. One of the few things I have looked forward to is your videos and they’ve kept me going. I will be back out on the water in the next year max and have so lovingly enjoyed seeing you realise your dreams and it gives me hope I will too. Moreover, your personalities and characters make you so likeable. Seeing your happiness today and positivity brought a tear to my eye and I can’t wait for the next instalment. Thank you guys. X
Just like these guys, don’t give up, keep pushing for those goals. No matter how bleak, life is so worth living even at the most daunting if times. Hold strong and get back out there…live long and prosper 🥰
We are rooting for you! Keep on chasing those dreams and we know we will cross paths with you out here one day! Thank you for such a sweet comment. Comments like these motivate us to keep making these videos. Thank you for coming along with us on this wild One Life! Sending lots of hugs your way! 💙
@@ginagalvin9020 thank you, it means a lot. I’ve never been open about my feelings but I’ve felt so battered and broken I feel I can only be honest but it’s so lovely to see support from other humans and it does mean a lot. I’ll get back out there x
@@SailingOneLife thank you so much, it means so much to hear from you, it really does. I genuinely aspire to one day cross paths with you guys, a genuine inspiration and reason for me to keep going. I’m coming to buy a 26-30ft boat next year and get back out there. Please head to Europe one day soon!!! X
I’m 62 years old and I’ve learned how precious each day is. Time slips away and the two of you are living each moment to the fullest. That’s the one part of the world I haven’t seen yet but you have brought it closer. Thank you. Wow I wish I was there. For now Florida is home so no complaints lol 😊
The joy of sharing moments with locals off the beaten path is an experience like no other. It just reminds us that the world is filled with genuinely good people.
I think Jimmy is one cool dude . It goes to prove that money is nothing , but if you have something to trade , WOW you could get almost anything . Fair winds guys and stay safe .
The green prickly fruit is Soursop (Annona Muricata). It has a thick creamy like white texture with black seeds, and has a flavour of a mixture between apples, strawberries and citrus fruits.
I must have "visited" this anchorage 100 times following various channels and it never gets boring. Seeing the same island through different eyes is extraordinary. Thanks for taking us along.
I live Offgrid in the Arizona desert and out where we are I do a lot of bartering with neighbors. At times I very much like a good barter vs cash. Great to watch this happening in other countries. The freedom it provides is terrific! Soon I’ll be sailing also. Spring I hope. My boat has to wait in Michigan 1 more winter and we are off.
My father always told me that the adventure is ALWAYS in the journey. The destination is just the cherry on top. Looking back you might have some great memories of the places you’ve been, but there is no argument that the best memories will be of the journey. Good or bad experiences, when looking back they will all be good memories. Even better when you have someone to share them with. Just don’t blink because before you know it, they will be gone.
So proud of you two and all the hard work that you had to do to cross the Pacific Ocean. Your videos are very beautifully done and I LOVE the footage and the informative narrative. I hope you enjoy your time on these Islands because you've earned it!!
Pamplemousse is French for grapefruit. There’s been two or three groups of sailors who have said the same thing but I guess living in a country that has French is the second language. We know a few things here us, Canadians.
You guys tell such an amazing story. It is so heartfelt. Im watching it twice. Love how you get into getting to know the locals and actually take time and show us viewers. thank you😊❤❤
Great video. Great cinematography. So incredible to see you swimming with the manta rays. Wow. So exciting! Lots of great fruit. Enjoy. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to the next video, as always. 💗
I watch of channels like yours about 10 different couples and families ,every week and by far yours is the most authentic and real feeling you are now my number 2 every week, to watch and dream by, as most of us in y-tube land are dreamers not doers like you two good luck keep it up, stay real just do what you are doing don't add anything except maybe more islands
Hey there :) oh, wow! Thank you so much! We really love sharing this journey with everyone and happy to hear you are enjoying it as well! More islands coming your way!
@13:05; It's fantastic to see that you have a fully-battened, in-boom furling mainsail! So much better than in-mast furling for decent sail-shape on the breeze (And reefing and reaching and running etc, etc...)
Great video!! Thank you for sharing your voyage and adventure with us. This was my dream until at 29, I broke my back. 72 now. Love each other and be safe. Regards, Myk
Oh you guy's what a wonderful amazing place that you are in!! The local hospitality and the mantras on your door step you'll have to pinch ya self to make sure it's reality!!! Enjoy guy's and safe travels
Hey Danny! Yeah, I just couldn't get over those manta rays! They are so HUGE and it was so fun being able to jump right off the boat to swim with them. Hope you are doing well and as always, thank you for commenting!
To interact with the locals makes the entire video seem very special. It looks like you made out very well in your trade deal with Jimmy. Great video Gary and Brooke, TY. The waterfall was SPECTACULAR. The island scenery reminds me of my trips to Oahu, HI when I was teaching fiber optics to the Navy personnel on Ford Island. The pictures and video just do not convey the full magnitude of the beauty. So happy for you guys getting to experience this adventure to the Frnch Polynesia.
the spicky fruit is soursop(dont eat the seeds) it is one of the best fruits in the world and one that people that have a plant wait for it to ripe. The one on video is a large size and just perfect, you guys are so so lucky.
Hiva Oa was our favorite port in the Marquesas (1984), keeping in mind that French Polynesia is part of France, having all the benefits of the European Union for local citizens.
Hiva Oa is a beautiful place! Unfortunately the main anchorage is packed with sailboats making it a tough place to 'get comfortable'. In our next video we visit an anchorage in Hiva Oa which is less crowded and we absolutely loved it!
Pamplemousses is grapefruit and the red ones are the best. It is sweet and a little tart at the same time. Here we cut ir in half, cut the edge around the peal and using a spoon pull the sections out to eat. Another similar fruit is the pomelo. If they have it it is also gorgeous fruit to eat.
Since this video, we have had quite a few pamplemousse and they are indeed delicious! We will be on the lookout for the red ones. We haven't come across those or the pomelo's yet!
I went to marquesas Islands this passed July 2023 and noticed how clean all the islands were with no trash. The waterfall was spectacular! The people there are awesome. It was mostly cold and rainy. They told me that the weather should be warm and not be raining like it was. So happy you were able to visit the islands!!!
@@SailingOneLife I guess Bora Bora and Moorea . The people were so awesome. What about all the dogs there, they were all so chill. I went to that waterfall and it was amazing! I went on an 8 day cruise on the Paul Gauguin which I wasn’t expecting however I was invited to go so of course I said yes! Me having a 70’ was like holly cow now I’m going to have to wear shoes. I never wear shoe on my boat, anyway sometimes I would just take my shoes off when I was walking to get on their tenders😳
Sounds like an amazing time! We never wear shoes either but I guess on a boat like the Paul Gauguin going barefoot is frowned upon! haha, good for you for kicking yours off for a bit!
@@SailingOneLife of course we are boater’s first…. Lol Love watching you both. I’m now getting my 3 yr old granddaughter Liv to drive my 15’ tender. She’s like a mini teenager and quick to learn. Love to share my love with other no matter what age they are.
Hello from Chile. What a fantastic video. I enjoy it so much. It's good to see you can meet good people like Jimmy everywhere. I ate that kind of fruit when I was in Mexico once. Thank you for sharing your sailing experience.
Thank you for coming along with us all the way from Chile! Yes, Jimmy and his family were wonderful. We have been so blessed meeting so many wonderful people from all around the world.💛
Pompamuse is Grapefruit! Riley n Elaina (LaVagabond) taught me that way back when they had a Monohull! Welcome!! Glad you made it...and BLESS you 2 for bringing us along! BLESS ONE LIFE and her Crew!
You all are such a nice couple. It is such a pleasure to watch you travel and grow on your trip around the world. Hey, your drone footage isn't all that bad either..hahahah..there's more... but I'll hold back...who knew Gary was a juggler..hahah
I really appreciate the authenticity of your videos. How you don’t sugar coat how you feel. Crossing an ocean is a slog. Thanks for sharing. You guys are beautiful and lucky to have each other.
That fruit is called Soursop! Or guanabana. It has many benefits including medicinal. It was suggested to me by the locals when I got sick in Costa Rica. You peel it in a way then squeeze the pulp to create a juice then add a small amount of sugar. I had noticed restaurants offered it as a common beverage in Costa Rica 👍👍Enjoying your videos! ❤
Haha, yeah that's how we thought we would be as well! But ended up that getting some rest, eating a nice meal and getting our little home back in order was priority. Funny how that works!
@3:57 I saw a wakeboard! You can’t tease us like that…I want to see it deployed…as it were! I’m taking it as a promise and looking forward what you do?!!
Hey Pete! The fruit was so delicious! We have found fishing supplies and personal hygiene products as simple as shampoo and conditioner to be the most sought after! Hope you are doing great!
Aagh guys - so happy for you - it is the people you meet that makes it worthwhile - well done - stunning manta shots - we paid a fortune to fly to the Maldives to scuba with them and our viz was not as good - how spectacular going off your own floating home -hopefully by now you will be in the land of the long white cloud.. well done ...
Hey Dirk! Yep, we agree the people make the place! We hope to dive in the Maldives one day! Surprised to hear the viz wasn't that great. And yes, we have arrived in the land of the long white cloud, safe and sound for cyclone season and....finally time to catch up on editing!
Wonderful channel. Pressed subscribe right away. Also liking every video my 👀 sets on. Nice to find a channel that’s been active for a while, lots of videos to watch! I send you both ❤️, peace and happiness
Hi there :) Thank you for coming along with us! Happy to hear you are enjoying our channel and we appreciate you subscribing! Many more adventures to come! 💙
@@Aharon.Robinov Now the whole state is a war zone. If you mean the front line, then no - I'm not on the front line. However, drones and missiles are flying everywhere
New subscriber. Truly enjoyed following your Pacific crossing. Great job showing the highs and the lows...not just the highlight reel. Kind regards, ~Doc Frisbie S/V New Beginnings SAILING PSYCH
Biscuits and sausage gravy... Heck yeah. That's one of my favorite meals. That waterfall....? Spectacular. It's like you anchored in the Garden of Eden. And swimming with manta rays and making new friends... Awesome.
How beautiful. Amazing. Interacting with the locals is so awesome. I see the excitement in your face Brooke. The excitement of adventure in such a beautiful place. Enjoy guys. ❤❤
Wow! The area is so lush and beautiful! Loved the waterfall and hike. Jimmy is an incredible example of the generosity of a local. Thanks for another great video!
I just returned from Nuka Hiva and Hiva Oh via sailing to Panama and flying home. I am simply lost in the Pacific islands. The Cook Islands, the Marquesas, Tuamotus, and Society Islands. I haven't visited them all. But I must. So far this year, San Blas Islands, Cocos Islands, Galapagos, and Marquesas. I need a boat.
Oh wow how amazing! What was the name of the sailboat you were on? We may have seen you! We missed Cocos and Galapagos but hope to visit via liveaboard dive boat one day!
@@SailingOneLife I was on "Break of Dawn" an Oyster 485 that has a YT Channel Sailing Zingaro. During the passage, we rescued 3 sailors from a disabled Bavaria 44. I am so envious of your freedom to choose your ports. When boat maintenance and weather become oppressive, remember the freedom, the destinations, and the joy of fair winds and following seas.
@@williamstreet4304 ah so cool! We met James in San Blas and we watched the rescue videos he put out. What a wild experience that must have been. So glad you guys were there to bring the sailors to safety. Kudos!

I really loved this episode. People don't often get a chance to see life on these islands
Thank you! Happy to hear you enjoyed this one!
The joy of sharing moments with locals off the beaten path is an experience like no other. It just reminds us that the world is filled with genuinely good people.
Ah, thank you so much!! 🌎❤️
6:56 Wow. A freshwater swim must be painfully refreshing.
💙 refreshing indeed!
13:18 Ain't nothing like putting to sea again. The feeling is amazing.
Always good to get underway again!

Amazing to see how hospitality used to be. Not afraid of the stranger, of the traveler. Great lesson. Iaorana Amis tahitien.

So proud of you two and all the hard work that you had to do to cross the Pacific Ocean. Your videos are very beautifully done and I LOVE the footage and the informative narrative. I hope you enjoy your time on these Islands because you've earned it!!
Thank you so much! We are pretty proud of One Life! Seems like just a few short months ago, we were without a rudder and replacing a major bulkhead.
How cool is that! Beautiful video. Great editing.
Thank you, Scott! The Marquesas are a stunning place!

There are not enough superlatives to describe the beauty of that island.
We agree, Ray! So gorgeous!
Now I have to go back to see the Marquesas! What a beautiful place and what a rich experience meeting and trading with Jimmy. All the best...
Thanks, Steve! The Marquesas are one of a kind! Hope you can make it there!
@13:05; It's fantastic to see that you have a fully-battened, in-boom furling mainsail! So much better than in-mast furling for decent sail-shape on the breeze (And reefing and reaching and running etc, etc...)

Yes, so nice to be able to take a refresher before continuing on!
the spicky fruit is soursop(dont eat the seeds) it is one of the best fruits in the world and one that people that have a plant wait for it to ripe. The one on video is a large size and just perfect, you guys are so so lucky.
Yes you are right! Thank you! After a bit of research we found it. So delicious and good for you!
The manta rays so beautiful! I didn’t know about to see homemade biscuits and gravy?!? This country girl would have totally requested those for sure.
I can't believe I didn't know this about you! Next time we get together guess what I'm making us!!
WOW WHAT AN AMAZING BARTER TRADING! YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOU WILL BEFRIEND ON YOUR JOURNEY!
Yes! It is so awesome how quick some people are to befriend strangers. We will never forget Jimmy's kindness.

I went to marquesas Islands this passed July 2023 and noticed how clean all the islands were with no trash.
The waterfall was spectacular!
The people there are awesome.
It was mostly cold and rainy.
They told me that the weather should be warm and not be raining like it was.
So happy you were able to visit the islands!!!
Ah so cool that you were able to visit the Marquesas! Which island was your favorite? Such a bummer that the weather wasn't good for you!
@@SailingOneLife I guess Bora Bora and Moorea . The people were so awesome.
What about all the dogs there, they were all so chill.
I went to that waterfall and it was amazing!
I went on an 8 day cruise on the Paul Gauguin which I wasn’t expecting however I was invited to go so of course I said yes!
Me having a 70’ was like holly cow now I’m going to have to wear shoes. I never wear shoe on my boat, anyway sometimes I would just take my shoes off when I was walking to get on their tenders😳

Jim the Fruit Guy was awesome! Nice waterfall.
Thanks, David! Jimmy is the man!
the green fruit is a sour sop, great fruit !
Yes! So delicious and good for you!
That last big fruit its call Guanavana when ripped it is great
Thanks! We found out later what it was....so delicious!
You had me at " biscuits and gravy" ... French Polenisia looks amazing... cheers guys🎉
Haha, biscuits and gravy for the win! Cheers!
Hello from Chile. What a fantastic video. I enjoy it so much. It's good to see you can meet good people like Jimmy everywhere. I ate that kind of fruit when I was in Mexico once. Thank you for sharing your sailing experience.

Thank you so much, Mike!
Wow great video thanks for sharing your 1 st in the exoctic Marquesas Islands. I never get bored when I see this beautiful part of the Pacific Ocean
Thank you, Jonathan! Happy to hear you enjoyed our first taste of the South Pacific!

So true.

Hey Doc Frisbie! Thanks for coming along with us! Hope to cross paths with you out here one day.
Biscuits and sausage gravy... Heck yeah. That's one of my favorite meals. That waterfall....? Spectacular. It's like you anchored in the Garden of Eden. And swimming with manta rays and making new friends... Awesome.
Thanks, Larry! Biscuits and gravy after a long passage for the win! Even better than bacon!

Great soccer field.
Coolest soccer field we've ever seen!
I just returned from Nuka Hiva and Hiva Oh via sailing to Panama and flying home. I am simply lost in the Pacific islands. The Cook Islands, the Marquesas, Tuamotus, and Society Islands. I haven't visited them all. But I must. So far this year, San Blas Islands, Cocos Islands, Galapagos, and Marquesas. I need a boat.
Oh wow how amazing! What was the name of the sailboat you were on? We may have seen you! We missed Cocos and Galapagos but hope to visit via liveaboard dive boat one day!
@@SailingOneLife I was on "Break of Dawn" an Oyster 485 that has a YT Channel Sailing Zingaro. During the passage, we rescued 3 sailors from a disabled Bavaria 44. I am so envious of your freedom to choose your ports. When boat maintenance and weather become oppressive, remember the freedom, the destinations, and the joy of fair winds and following seas.
@@williamstreet4304 ah so cool! We met James in San Blas and we watched the rescue videos he put out. What a wild experience that must have been. So glad you guys were there to bring the sailors to safety. Kudos!
