clap clap...well done! well done indeed! I think this may have been one of the most professionally done youtube videos ever. This was like watching a hugely staffed production documentary designed for television. The island and the people were the best topic ever and I felt you captured a true bit of the essence of life there. To the person complaining about the length in comments wanting more and longer videos I remind you this is youtube and even to make such a video of over 20 minutes is quite a task. I can imagine you worked many many hours and even days on this
tazmun@ I was thinking the same thing, it looks like this video was made by a pro. This is the video to watch if u want to make videos, n what kind of equipments did the job.
What a simply wonderful video! Like another commenter, I thought that I was clicking on some kinky story of a man living on an island with 3 wives. Which, in a way, I guess it was. Only not in the way I thought it would be. Instead, it's the story of a man who recognized Paradise when he found it and went on to make small improvements and raise an amazing family that has raised several generations of peaceful people who have flourished on a very isolated yet beautiful remote island atoll many miles from what we have come to call civilization in the middle of the Pacific ocean. What an amazing video that tells the story of some very unique and wonderful people - the Marsters family! Excellent narration, Maya! What a remarkable adventure you have been living!
Very, very well done !! Rely enjoyed this Palmerston / Marsters documentary!! Good work by Mom, Dad & Maya. You are a blessed family with very good values. Your community contributions and interactions are much appreciated by your viewers, followers and the lives of the people you interact with. Thank you very much!!!!
Thank you found you by accident , so proud of you all , the best education in the world travel , respect and freedom , blessings to you all safe travels
Gd bless you for leaving all those books , those will give unmeasurable value to the minds of those people .each book will provide an escape and rad venture they so much deserve .. respect
Well done, guys! If you watch this documentary on a TV, you`d never say it`s not professional! Facinating story, perfect editting, good camera work and last, but not least - heart and soul! Can`t wait for the next episodes! Fair winds!
I love the Cook Islands,I arrived there in summer,it was so beautifull,I hired a bike and rode around the island,then I went Atutaki wow its beautifull,i went to many pacific islands,Tonga,Fiji,Cook Islands,Tahiti and Hawaii,and every place it was summer and something I will never forget,2 weeks on each island,on my way to the US,then back to Tahiti,Auckand then Cairns back in Queensland Australia,I will go back to Tahiti soon,such a Paradise,such beauty.
this is the best cruiser video of Palmerston ! video of daily life and interviews of the Marsters. I really appreciate what you have done. I hope you all continue to do this and stay on the seas...I am departing California in a few years and wpuld love to meet up with y'all. Ivo, you have a good family, my sailing brother. hope to meet you on the seas one day
Bravo!!! a great and excellent job to film the life of the people who are living quite away from all too busy world. They are living a contented life free from political and religious prejudice. They may be simple in their life style yet they have a lot natural beauty to enjoy. Their living on a lonely island is a vital mark of human courage and adjustment for his survival. The best thing is that they have not ignored education and have brought up the young generation with a positive mind-set. Thanks for sharing such a nice experience.
I found this by accident, but was so intrigued by the narration and by the interesting information about Palmerston that I watched it all the way through. It was very well done and I felt as if I was there. What a nice escape from the suburb of a big, east coast city in the U.S. Thank you! Subscribed.
I LOVE THESE ISLAND PEOPLE,THEY LOOK SOO HAPPY,,,,,TRUE PARADISE....IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A DREAM OF MINE TO MOVE TO AN ISLAND LIKE THIS.... AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO YOU GUYS FOR MAKING AND POSTING THIS VID, ..SO CLEAR AND CAPTURED EVERYTHING..aND THE GIRL WHO NARRATED IS AMAZING, IT'S WAY BETTER DONE THAN ANY BIG NEWS OR TV CREWS
Thank you for this video. It is wonderful. I am currently researching the Marsters geneology and the pan of the headstones was helpful beyond words! Lovely donation to the school as well. What a wonderful family.
Wow, what an amazing and unique experience! I came across this video when I saw the name of your boat and recognized it as a Romanian name. The Marsters heritage colliding with the most unusual coincidence of two Bulgarian boats meeting up on an atoll in the middle of the Pacific is just incredible. Well done! Cheers to you all from the landlocked state of Utah! Tiberiu Petrescu
True, Italian name but deeply ingrained in Romanian language. Regardless, it was the name which caught my eye and I am glad it did, great vlog and great narrating job by young Maya! Safe travels.
just found your channel and have subscribed and will support you. Im busy with a special project that I will share with you guys because you care for the people you meet on your journey which is very close to my heart. I will be in touch when we have done trials of what we are developing. Wont be much longer then we will give you motors that will change your lives and the lives of the people you will meet. Eternal power. Thank you so much for this window into your lives! So inspiring! Bless you!
Thanks! I am curious about your project! But keep in mind that after 5 years of continuous living aboard and sailing, we are now in the process of selling our boat and moving on land- back in Canada for a few years. Maya will be going to school and we are thinking about new land-based project of off-grid sustainable living.
i love all your videos but this one was especially great. So informative and so well edited. I can't understand why you are not the most widely watched sailing channel on you tube. Thanks for what you do. Be safe
Very nice! Funny for that many Bulgarians meeting up on a small island. My artwork hung in the US Embassy in Sofia a few years ago. Small world. Thanks for sharing and cheers from sunny Florida!
By watching this video I feel like being almost there in the remotest Island. Got to know of the exotic places and amazing stories of fascinating people. This video is not only informative, educative and also entertaining. You people are really enjoying your adventurous life in the sea.
Great to see a place we missed. Met a number of Ned Marsters descendants when I was working on Rarotonga during '76-'78, they were good woodworkers and boatbuilders. At that time they estimated there were about 1200 direct descendants of old Ned and the three ladies.
I'm a Marsters. Never been to Palmerston but the boy in the yellow is my cousin. I met him last year when I visited Rarotonga. I guess most of them are my cousins though lol
Thank you so mush for sharing your story. I can't afford to support and yet I love this clip... I pray that where ever you guys are in the world that Jesus (my faith) continues to bless and protect you guys. Love all🌻🌱💞
Barry! I guess you like high real estate taxes, congestion, failing infrastructure (got stuck today trying to use the Burlington Bristol bridge) all while the political hacks of the Bridge Commission make hundreds of thousands of dollars. I’d say, start a moving company out of NJ and you could get rich quick.
Palmerston reminds me of the year that I spent in Diego Garcia. A long way from here, but very beautiful as well. Love your channel. And Maya is a fantastic narrator. Look forward to the next one!
And yes, your quality of Video is excellent, not so much because of the technology you put into it, but the heart you put into your efforts. You are excellent folks!
hi maya wow your other video took me here thank you for sharing this video i myself kookie wiuld have never know the history of the masters where part of my family from thanks maya more of this awesome
So many books. Our family is learning to sail. We are writers and programmers. We want to sail the world and write stories and sell them as our job. We are currently creating an Android App that will be a library of our stories. We are upgrading a 1979 Venture 25 to learn sail with.We live in Florida, a great place to learn to sail. Love your video, I will show the family.
1863 when William Marsters arrived is relatively recent, unlike Fletcher Christian on Pitcairn Island. At that time we had many railways, yachting had started and telegraphs were being laid across the oceans. It is about two of my lifetimes.
I really love your video of my ancestor and seeing my homeland. William Master is what we all know him as but the Old Man is actually called Richard Masters. Thank you for your video.
Aitutaki (another island in the Cook Islands is much closer to Palmerston than the capital island Rarotonga. William Masters was in Mangaia (the most southern island in the Cook Islands) for 3 years, got a Mangaian lady pregnant before continuing on to Palmerston. His daughter that was born in Mangaia was named Elizabeth and has many descendants. Great video.
I love so much your video..a lot of f blogger post on line.but your video is one of a kind for me..I start follow your blog..your one of a kind..take care always and your family..we love u...God bless..
You are always welcome. You seem to sail with purpose, unlike so many that tour the world as if it is all their big Disney Land. I'm currently doing a refit on a Colin Archer which is eventually headed to the south seas. A generosity of spirit gives you great insights. Maybe someday we will find ourselves in the same anchorage.

@@williampercival7662 I read about tom neale when i was a kid in the early 80s did not know he was related same with Robinson crueso look up the lost sheep of the royal family
Quintin Marsters Hello Mr. Marsters! I’m so glad you said you all help each other. You all appear to be healthy! I thought I heard said that Christianity came to your island home. I’m hoping it is the Bible Christianity. From the apostles. I’m wondering if the Mr. Marsters that settled the island was a Protestant? The light of truth at that time caused us to abandon the tyranny of Papal Rome. Then came more truth that had been lost during the dark ages. The truth of the biblical seventh day sabbath created in the garden of eden blessed and honored by Jesus Himself. We are reminded in the fourth commandment to keep the sabbath different. Saturday is the true biblical Sabbath day of rest and worship. I wanted to share God’s blessings with you. I would love to be friends with an older woman there. God bless you all.
just found your channel...excellent job telling the history and just the video content in general, interesting!!! definitely one or the best channels I've seen in a while...will be following....favorable winds!

Although in most accounts it is stated that his first and second wives were sisters, this is not correct - the first three wives were cousins. William's Marsters second wife was named Tepou Tinioni, and she had six children, the eldest of whom, Marion, was drowned when the Araura was lost off Aitutaki. The girl Marsters married at Penrhyn was Sarah Akakaingaro, who was to be the mother of nine of his children. During the next few years she travelled with him to various Pacific Islands where he was employed as a overseer of native labour. Their first child was a daughter, Anne, who at the age of two years was drowned in the Vai Sinane River, in Samoa. Tragedy struck again when their second child, another daughter named Elizabeth, died on manuae, in the Hervey Islands of the southern Cook Group, at the age of one year. Marsters first son, Joel, was born in Palmerston in 1860 , according to family tradition, but other authorities say the year was 1863 . When Joel grew up he found he could not get on with his disciplinarian father. Neither did he get on well with his brother William, who spent most of his Life on Palmerston, interspersed with years at sea. So Joel moved on to Aitutaki after being at sea early in life. In Aitutaki he married a woman by the name of Takapu, and spent the reminder of his Life there. The second son , William , who was to succeed to the head position in the clan, was born in 1862 , and in many accounts he is stated to be the eldest son Joel is said to have died in 1918 , but thus outlived his father by nineteen years. The story of the third wife is a complicated one. She was a cousin of the other two wives, and was named Matavia. While serving on whaling ships, William Marsters had as a shipmate a man variously described as a Hindu - Portuguese from Goa, a Portuguese sea - Cook, and a native of the Fernando Noronda Islands off the east coast of Brazil. By all accounts he was dark - skinned, and was probably a Goanese, for many seamen came from the tiny Portuguese enclave of Goa on the east coast of India. By A.S.Helm and W. H.

I clicked the video because of the title, 3 wives, thinking I'm going to watch some kinky action on an isolated island in the middle of nowhere. And @19:00 that green undie killed the view 😂. Anyway, Journey on beautiful people, journey on.
Great video. You guys are very respectful of the people and their culture. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!

We need a video on how to get 3 wives.
And what?
@@amalpsunny one wife is too many for me 🤣 I got divorced and have stayed single ever since 😆
Tom: It's simple. First you buy a boat, then you find an empty island in the pacific, then............. Good luck!!
Yea, 3 wives = 3 times trouble !!
Dont worry, You get 3 wives when you are 70 yrs old. Hope you still have the libido lmao
I clicked the video because of the title, 3 wives, thinking I'm going to watch some kinky action on an isolated island in the middle of nowhere. And @19:00 that green undie killed the view 😂. Anyway, Journey on beautiful people, journey on.
Me and my three husbands think you're silly.
