That whale song was incredible. Thanks for not putting music over it. The simplicity of that footage with its raw audio was some phenomenal stuff. So happy you captured that. Can’t wait for next weeks adventure. 👍🏽
Well, probably my favourite episode for a long while! An episode of whales and Erica’s amazing whale “problem” reactions! Just brilliant. If everyone had that passion for our beautiful creatures, the world would be a truly better place. Keep it up guys. Love the episodes.
Just a couple months ago I watched Erica in tears because she was so sad to be leaving French Polynesia but I think Ive seen her laugh and smile more since then than any other time on this channel. Cant wait to see what 2025 brings
This is why we watch. Being afloat and afar ourselves what motivates the watching is the sailing, the passes viewed from the drone, the real experiences. Thank you. Sail on.
Wow! Having a whale come up right next to you and then basically swimming with them by your boat. What an experience. One of the first times I solo'd a 14 foot cat, I was out on the trapeze, and a dolphin came up right underneath me. 'Bout had to clean my shorts!!! Fun stuff guys.
Miss my Hobie Cat 14'...1st one in Malibu at the time. Sailed off Zuma Beach growing up. Would sail by Grey Whales and Dolphins all the time. Occasionally sharks too.
I had no idea that you could hear the whales under water so well. This was an amazing episode! ❤ I love the whale footage and watching Erica get so so excited any time she sees them! Love you guys, looking forward to the videos of Greece!!
I bet every time you see whales it feels like the first time, the excitement level reaches a 10... but swimming with whales so close has to be more like a 15 on a 10 point scale! More earthquakes in the South Pacific, Vanuatu has had several in the last 2-3 days, starting with a M 7.3 that took over a dozen lives, dozens injured and they are still diggning through rubble looking for survivors. Did a quick search on your location, the latest update I got was Dec 2nd saying VA was in Whangarei, New Zealand, hoping your next port wasn't Vanuatu! Wishing you both a safe and Merry Christmas!
Yes, we are safe from any earthquakes in New Zealand at the moment, but we have heard they still happen here too. It's a high zone ever since we left Tonga. So scary about the one in Vanuatu too. I can't imagine the destruction there. So sad too!
Thank You for another Great Video 📹. We want to wish you guys a Very Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 and Happy New Year 🎉! So until next time, Aloha from your friends on the Big Island of Hawaii! Aloha and Cheers 🍻
Very good video content. Nice opportunity to be up close with the magnificent whales and witness their audible communications. Beautiful locations. Thank you 👍🇺🇸🚜
Thank you. Comment for the algorithm. Erica, your excitement about the whales is equal to your excitement when swimming with the manta rays in Tahiti, 2 years ago? Love your vids.
While sailing off the south bank of the BVI. In about 1000 feet of water. My depth gauge looked like I was running aground. 50 feet, 40,30,20. I reversed the engines for a hard stop. Dropped all sails. ands then again it read 1000 feet. WTF. Just then a whale breached about 5 feet off the starboard side and looked right at me in the helm. It took a good long look at about 15 feet from me. It's eye must have been 2 feet across. It was huge. Then slipped under and breached again about 100 yards behind us. I will never forget that encounter. Then I slowly motored over to Norman island for a very large cocktail. I was shook, being that close.
Do you guys think that you will upgrade your boat for a performance catamaran in the near future. If so, what catamaran do you want to replace your boat for?
We definitely have dreams of upgrading someday, but for now we are happy with VA. However, when the day comes we would love to actually build our own. Warren is always working on VA, mostly for pleasure too so I think building a boat would be right up his alley!

Warren without his tools is like a day without sunshine. It happens… but no one’s happy. Great episode. Love, love, LOVE the whales.❤

Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.... Wow!
Stunning snorkeling footage! And those whales!
I had no idea that you could hear the whales under water so well. This was an amazing episode! ❤ I love the whale footage and watching Erica get so so excited any time she sees them! Love you guys, looking forward to the videos of Greece!!
Luxury life! Hope it continues !
Wow that was so amazing to have the whales at the boat. Great video guys.

Love your necklace! Happy Sailing/Flying!
Incredible ! I Love yalls laid back attitude ❤
Awesome video. You two do produce the most amazing underwater video of all the UA-cam channels I watch.
On my most recent trip to Maui, I went on a whale watching cruise - amazing creatures. Very humbling experience.
Enjoy the up in the air sailing
He wants to drill holes so badly, made me chuckle "Men" Nature made us this way. :-D
WOW 🤯🐳🐳 I have no words except amazing and thank you ❤
God bless ~ love from Michigan ~
Jamie
Great Video. Thanks! Always use the clutch on the drill whenever doing something with kickback possibilities. (But you already know that.)
Do you think that the Whales know Erica loves them and are just letting her know that they understand????
Very good video content. Nice opportunity to be up close with the magnificent whales and witness their audible communications. Beautiful locations. Thank you 👍🇺🇸🚜
Safe travels. Cant wait to see what Warren has in store for that provisional fuel tank.
😀😀😀👍👍👍❤❤❤ Au some whale footage! Have some great flights and Merry Christmas. Bye for now from Seattle, WA.
Amazing....made my morning.
Groovy episode. A whale of a tail.
Love your music choices ❤
Thank you that means a lot. Music can really
Change the whole video!
Thank you. Comment for the algorithm. Erica, your excitement about the whales is equal to your excitement when swimming with the manta rays in Tahiti, 2 years ago? Love your vids.
Nice!
Merry Christmas to all 😊
awesome good job
He wants you to play with his tool 😁

Hey guys I wished I could support you guys more I really appreciate your videos just wished I could do more 😢
Turn it into a jacuzzi.
Wow!

@@WEsail I'm about to build a Cyber 48.
Is drilling holes Warrens version of bubble wrap?
It really is. The guy can't get enough, almost as much as I can't get enough of the whales!
15:11 Did Warren get the hot water pot fixed?
Who cleaned up the mess when the whales scared you when they popped up next to the boat?😅😅
hahaha seriously! Good thing I was already in the water!
Can you speak whale? Well I can aaaawhoooooooarghhhhhhhh
Working on it, soon I will be trilingual!
Seems like when you are on a mooring for a month you could disconnect your anchor and tie your anchor chain to the concrete mooring ball block...
I only watch because of Erica.. hahah..Sorry Warren.
@robertscranton8293 I love Warren's narration. Brian on Delos, Ben on Nahoa, Nate on Scout... All these fellows do a very good narration.
Where's Nemo?🪸🐚
I think you should make the fuel tank into a jacuzzi. 👍 🫵 🫨
I have definitely thought about that;)
