    So serene in the south pacific. There's a tranquility that washes over you upon seeing the islands. It doesn't matter how many times you visit; it's always present. Beautiful videos and Julia is just as stunning. Are you stopping in the Solomon's? Looks like a great place to explore reefs and WW2 wreckage but believe you need diving equipment? Cheers..

    So beautiful! So lovely sliding through the water so gracefully.
    Your wife is very attractive also but the boat is absolutely stunning.
    A sailing dinghy for exploring instead of a noisy inflatable zooming around disturbing the tranquility is my way of cruising.
    The subtle sounds a wooden boat makes is so much nicer than the squeaking of a fiberglass boat.
    Thank you very much for putting the time into making and sharing your trip.

    You are fantastic in so many ways. I love your wooden boat and how it seems like another character in your journey. You include video of the lovely Julia at anchor at each location, which shows admiration and respect to her. It’s like there are three of you on this voyage! You are wonderful photographers/video journalists too; perhaps the best of UA-cam sailors. It’s like watching a ‘National Geographic’ documentary film! Superb; simply superb! I’ve found myself worrying about you when you haven’t posted in a while. I would like to see more about Julia’s history, how you got her, and more about your dingy too; what design, what is she made of, did you build her, etc.? I heard a reference to seeing more of Fiji on a second circumnavigation in this segment! Great! Thank you for sharing!
