Great Video. We enjoyed your company here. Best regards from Seychelles Yatching Association family!. It was a thrilled to have you taking part of our sailing races! Best of Luck. Like we say here, "Bon vent"!
We loved racing in Seychelles meeting everybody in the club was one of the highlights of our circumnavigation. :-) Thanks once again for looking after us.
I feel very emotional watching the end part of your video with your patrons….to see you all enjoy each other’s company so much, and all of you knowing what it has taken to get to the Seychelles. It looks a very attractive place and the officials delightful to deal with. How many others are going to be inspired to follow in your wake! Thank you so much. A joy to watch.
Beautiful ❤️ we woke this morning to 1 degree in brighton uk, first morning of defrosting the cars . Such a delight to see turquoise sea and sandy beaches . Have fun & thankyou for sharing your adventure sailing the high seas . Love fridays 💕
I flew a little microlight around the main islands for 13 years - helping the Marine Conservation Society with marine air surveys. Sweet memories the two of you brought back for me. Keep up the great adventures. ;)
Wonderful as always, so pleased that the weather cooperated in helping Steve and Jo have a fine bracing day's sailing with you! Great video, many thanks.
Lovely to see the two of you exploring such a scenic place. It says a lot about the Seychellois that there is no graffiti and even intact glass panes in the abandoned resort buildings. Here in Australia the place would have been covered in tags and all kinds of filth. Enjoy your stay, and thanks for sharing with us.
The hiking trails are the same; very well cared for and very little litter, it was very noticeable everywhere we went. Nice to see pride and care taken over such a beautiful place.
It must have been a thrill having people from home to spend time with, after spending so much time in isolation and then sailing all that time alone. Glad you are able to relax and get boat projects done and explore 🥂🇨🇦
Hey guys, thanks for the hard work in making this amazing video. Great to hear that you have had so few problems with the boat, no doubt a lot of it is because of your care and attention to details. Some boats seem to develop more problems over a weekend at the dock than you had in 4500 miles of Ocean sailing ! (grin) Keep having fun. Best J&J
I was there in '72 and it's way more built up since then. It was totally beautiful then but it was hard to get a reference point. Brings back wonderful memories. .......................... enjoy
Seychelles is beautiful, the reef dive footage is spectacular! So nice that your Patreons were able to bring you supplies and that you hosted them for a sail aboard Florence.Enjoy your stay and we look forward to seeing more videos from this tropical paradise.
I'm absolutely in love with you guys!!! So much fun to watch I hope I too can sell my house and sail round the world one day! Cheers team Florence much love from Central Washington state USA!
Hi guys !First time here on your channel and I'm a local 😎. but it almost 3 years living in the Czech Republic with my wife and son.and you guys just brought me back home thank a lot. im sorry the island it expensive 😔 .and it worse with the covid 19.we lack a lot as a country but it getting there slowly 🐌. I really appreciate that you guys find my home beautiful .I thank all does who support you guys on your journey. Specially Steve and Jo.thank to you guys for letting me go back home. And I can go there any time, when I feel like going home I can visit your videos and feel home. I thank you 😊. Cheers to you and family and the great Britain. For once we where a colony of British people. Which it would have stayed that way.
Glad to see that you have arrived safely in The Seychelles. I think you have the best sailing channel out there. Keep up the lovely videos. And thank you for sharing with all of us
So good to see a sailing channel in our (sort of) local waters! Not sure how I've missed you guys on youtube, but now subscribed and going to check out some previous videos :)) I know videos are always months in arrears, so wondering where to next for you with cyclone season kicking in? We'd love to see and welcome you in Mauritius, but guessing you will head to Madagascar or east African coast? Or north? We've just had our first cruisers in two years pull in here to Grand Baie Mauritius - what a treat :)) Hope to see you too. Edit: Just seen the video with a map of your plan - you must be on your way to or in Cape Town by now :) That's my home town - enjoy the Mother City!!
We had Tom Dymond come ad give a talk about the adventure at the Newbury Yacht Club last night and he said about meeting you in New Zealand. Keep up the great work!
What a beautiful episode. I feel like I am repeating myself, but the scenery and your narration of this magnificent location is just brilliant. You guys are amazing. Can’t wait to see your next episode. 👍👍👍
I just stumbled on your channel. It was in the suggested videos below the video I was watching. I’m so glad to have clicked on it! You guys have me hooked!! I happily pressed the “like” button and subscribed. Looking forward to watching many of your adventures. Hope you both are well and healthy. Cheers! 😃🇨🇦🍁
I really enjoyed this video. I have been living in my 25 foot class A motor home named Xena going into my fourth year with my little dog Tinker bell. Traveling around the western USA filming what I see. Im 60 years old now and am still living my dream. After beating kidney cancer I decided to go for at and live my dream. I love the abandoned resort on that island. I film all kinds of stuff like where I camp for free places I see on my travels but I must say my favorite are the creepy and abandoned. I love filming the wild anmals that I see too! Great travels my fellow travelers! Stay safe and I will be watching more of your travels! 😁
Gosh, when I was in England I had no problem understanding that thick English accent, but together with tin can microphones it's almost impossible, thanks for the video, great photography.
Thank you so much for filming your visit to Seychelles. I and my family lived there in the 1970s - and I could just imagine myself there as I watched your film. Would love to be in that sea :)
It was worth waiting for the new episode after attempting to watch some crappy sailing videos. As always wonderfully done ! You guys are not only expert Sailers but also excellent film makers ! I am watching this episode for the 3rd time and I must admit I am addicted to it ❤️
Great video, well done for completing the crossing. Lovely to see you enjoying the Seychelles and the company of kind supporters. Hope you continue to enjoy your time there and get the boat jobs done.
It's not all that great it's very hot and humid you're constantly being drainedthere's nothing out there sure it's pretty but not their walls the same old same old if you watch this for 20 minutes it's like being there just save your money
Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 I’m 71.. I love sailing., Grew up sailing on Sydney Harbour and lived in Vanuatu . I keep telling myself I’m not going anywhere til I sail somewhere again., and I truly believe it., but have no idea how I cld achieve it., you sound so sad., I hope you are ok! 👍🏼🇦🇺🐨 and I just wanted to say hello!!
Someone should you bring your there for sightseeing...if I could do that I will do for u..I don't have boat yet but if I had..u are the person I would bring to make u feel better.
The "good bits" are fabulous !! Jealous , well I don't think so, my wife accuses me of using sailing term while cruising on my land yacht. "Port tac at the stop sign, in three, two, one. Stay safe you two!!☺
Congrats on your arrival. Seychelles looks amazing! Look forward to seeing it through your eyes. Crazy that huge resort just left to rot. Something eerie about abandon buildings. Is it the fear of the unknown and the possibility of what could of been? Hopefully it’ll get reclaimed.
The economic distortion that a government can impart on a business is not just a ripple. Those in power have no choice but to dominate, destroy, and control. It's the nature of man. In the US our founders attempted to subdue that in our Federal government as much as possible. Sadly, after only a few generations our population became completely oblivious to the rule of law that was designed to "Chain them down". Fast forward 200+ years and the general population has been subdued instead of the government. More than likely, that abandoned resort is a direct result of government interference.
As usual really enjoyed the last 18 minutes 58 seconds. One of the very few places I've wanted to go and have not made it yet. Thanks for reminding me I still need to get there.
I’ve watched all your shows since I subscribed. Even went back & watched a lot of the older ones. The Seychelles looks like a really nice place & I hope you two enjoy your stay there. Shame it’s so expensive

I can hardly stand it! So happy that you have arrived in the Seychelles. Thank you so much for allowing us to join your journey.

I just found you all. Very nice. And the tortoise was really cool. Thank you.
Wonderful as always, so pleased that the weather cooperated in helping Steve and Jo have a fine bracing day's sailing with you! Great video, many thanks.
It was an awesome day
Never been to the Seychelles, and this video showed some of the islands in a honest way - I think. Thanks for sharing your experience
As always - a first class video. Already looking forward to the next episode.

Green with envy for the couple who got to go out sailing with you two lovely people !
Yes we were very lucky that were going to be in the islands at the same time

Thanks for yet another well done video documentary. I really look forward to them. May your excellent journey continue!
The best image was you two standing on the edge of that balcony holding hands as the drone flew over you from behind :) Such a great shot!
Nice video! I really like that boat in front of you while you were anchoring 😁
I'm an old salt and lover of the deep blue sea; watching this now has me wanting to join ye...
Another cracking video Matt and Amy you sure know how to put on a show very interesting thank you

How fun is that hope you guys are still getting along that's a long time on a boat together

Yes, she is a bit of a wheel hogger
Great show Florence thank you!
Beautiful. Thanks for these adventures! )
What a magnificent adventure to be able to just up anchor and go wherever you please I couldn't think of a better way to life.!!!
Beautiful sailing. Great adventure. Stay safe. Greetings from FIJI 🇫🇯

V cool
Awesome stuff, beautiful place, thanks for sharing! ⛵️👍🏻☺️
Awesome episode, great to see you all out having some fun
Indeed we had fun
Always enjoy your episodes. Glad you are now enjoying life under the water as well as above.
Gosh, when I was in England I had no problem understanding that thick English accent, but together with tin can microphones it's almost impossible, thanks for the video, great photography.
Congratulations on such an epic voyage!
Thank you so much for filming your visit to Seychelles. I and my family lived there in the 1970s - and I could just imagine myself there as I watched your film. Would love to be in that sea :)
That was very nice of them to let that couple sell their boat with them what a great video keep up the great work
I always find the colour green of land, grass and trees is so vibrant compared to life at sea. Have fun.
Great episode above and the water! The sea turtle was incredible! The Seychelles seems to be a beautiful place. Look forward to the next episode.
Very beautiful, thanks.
It was worth waiting for the new episode after attempting to watch some crappy sailing videos. As always wonderfully done ! You guys are not only expert Sailers but also excellent film makers ! I am watching this episode for the 3rd time and I must admit I am addicted to it ❤️
Love your channel. Thanks and continued good luck.
Really enjoyed watching this video. It looks an amazing place but a shame for that hotel to be abandoned 🙄
Stay safe both and good luck 👍
Great episode (as always)! The diver that forces the Moray eel out of its hole is an ***hole though.
Wasn’t me
This goes on my bucket list 😎🤩
Great video, well done for completing the crossing. Lovely to see you enjoying the Seychelles and the company of kind supporters. Hope you continue to enjoy your time there and get the boat jobs done.
I'm 69 . You guys do a great job of showing places I'm never gonna get to (ill health) . Nice patreons :)
It's not all that great it's very hot and humid you're constantly being drainedthere's nothing out there sure it's pretty but not their walls the same old same old if you watch this for 20 minutes it's like being there just save your money
Dominic Deponte I've heard from a friend of mine who went there that was hot and humid.
Overrated he said. Pretty in some parts but expensive...

Well done ! What an achievement ! Spotted you both in the background of a couple of SV Time Bandit videos !
Yes that was probably us, it's been great seeing more of them again recently.
I’ve watched all your shows since I subscribed. Even went back & watched a lot of the older ones. The Seychelles looks like a really nice place & I hope you two enjoy your stay there. Shame it’s so expensive
Everything has to be imported
I hope you two have a very beautiful and wonderful adventure.
Best of wishes for you guys from me in Indonesia.
Much love and care and blessings to you two 😇🥰
Love that drone footage, so exciting!
Can’t complain about that vis. 🤷🏻♂️😊
