Hi guys, I always get excited when I see your videos come up I know it’s going to be a wonderful time. Just love your spirit and how much fun guys have together as husband and wife just so wonderful. Your amazing couple keep up the good work. Really love and appreciate you both Cliff from Logan City Queensland, Australia , and hopefully one day you’ll be down here in Australia in Queensland
Nothing beats making some visual observations and not relying on the predictions all the time. Of course, all that good feeling can be undone when your trying to unfurl a headsail and someone is holding on to the furling line. :)
Cheers! We have always said we will just be ourselves…mainly because we don’t know how to act and it just wouldn’t be fun otherwise. Pleased we get to put a smile on your face each week.
No way! We had started working on a Spotify playlist for fun but it’s super hard to keep up to date. We don’t always pick the obvious music compared to other sailing adventures but it makes us smile. So pleased you enjoy the tracks.
Wow, thank you! We have fun and figure we should just be ourselves. Hopefully everyone hits the share button every so often as that really helps us grow. We don’t do this to be famous but if we were able to get to sustainable that would be such a relief.
Hey! Great to meet you and I hope you enjoy our little adventure. We have had the fun of reliving episodes from the very beginning with some other folk and it’s kind of crazy to think where we started and where we’ve been. Hope you have fun watching back thru. And thanks for finding us 😊
Black Perl’s… That’s like black swans, you don’t realise they exist until you see one. Would love to see one, I never know tell you told me on this vid. You are educating a few of us ..👍🏼
Would you prefer digital controls for the engines, or old stuff. Old stuff you can fix with a hammer and a spanner and a bit of grease. If electric goes down the term goosed comes to mind.
Our Nanni engines are fully mechanical (no digital components about them) for that exact reason. Perhaps you are mixing this up with the additional digital monitoring we had added with Zora? The engines themselves and their ignition system is all analogue, diesel compression goodness, we just added the ability to see their data and set alerts for various aspects within Zora which integrates with most of the things we have onboard.
I had the first built L47..... Had B&G I struments and Hercules auto pilot. Troubles were not coming from the fluxcompass. I. The ap box finally is split in two halfs ..... Two wires , orange I remember, their connectors were half burned, causing the problem. Had that several times. Was sailing solo with guests, how difficult it was that the ship was turning to starboard without reason. Took some time to discover the issue. Hope for you, it is the same error
Wow! The first L47. That’s so cool. You’ll know this boat better than anyone. We will have to check the wiring and hopefully find something like that. Thanks for the tip. I was starting to think the AP was just getting Alzheimer’s
I was just chatting with coworker that I’d prefer to dive with 700 sharks than spend time with a dozen + people. Love your adventures. Donate for a Dream
Don't you have a network storage on board for movies, music and podcasts? I'm collecting movies and music since several years for exactly that reason... You also need a security copy of the video data. Hope there's at least one in Scotland with your family...
We actually have a NAS drive for content and episode editing but we shut it down while on passage to protect the spinning disks. Hopefully some day we can upgrade to the new m2 ssd NAS system and add a few more Ah to the batteries so we can leave it on all the time.
I think I prefer the black pearls now. I don’t know why but, I kept thinking of rabbits, the black pearls they leave all over the place….. oat also ..🤣😂
It’s hard to show on camera as we use a wider Len’s to be able to hold the camera and talk to it but this wasn’t the worst we’ve had to do. Most of the OBS rivals are under the water so it’s hard to show just how tight a squeeze these can be
Yeah we can’t afford rods and the reefs have done us well so far. Altho we haven’t caught anything worth showing recently which is a shame. Perhaps time to try some other lures.
Absolutely. We live in hope. That would make such a difference to our sailing. We might put on a few lbs however. Such an easy life just pressing a button to lift a sail 😂
"off grid" you clowns crack me up. Sailing is always "off grid". Ahe is hardly unvisited. Its one of the most visited atolls as its on the main track througj the Tuamotu. Try going to thr SE end of the archipelago, or to the Australs or Gambiers
Sounds like you, like us, have a love of travel. These days, the most common route through the Tuamotus takes folk through Raroia, Makemo, Fakarava and onwards to Tahiti. That said, more people summit Mount Everest each year than cross the pacific to visit the Tuamotus so perhaps everywhere in these archipelago’s are “remote” to most. 😃 In our time in Ahe, we clocked 2 other boats visiting and were informed that they had not seen many sailors at all this year. Still, perhaps it has seen more boats in the past.

So pleased we could put a smile on your face again. Some day we will set foot on your home turf I’m sure. Can’t wait for the day.
I loved the atoll explanation, the graphic especially, we found our BLACKS in Facarava
Cheers! It’s a challenge to get your head around the idea that there were full on mountains here once upon a time.
Nothing beats making some visual observations and not relying on the predictions all the time. Of course, all that good feeling can be undone when your trying to unfurl a headsail and someone is holding on to the furling line. :)
Best laid plans…scuppered when your crew mate stands on your lazy lines. 😂
U guys r really lively n funny. Luv your videos
Cheers! We have always said we will just be ourselves…mainly because we don’t know how to act and it just wouldn’t be fun otherwise. Pleased we get to put a smile on your face each week.
Good luck on your quest! During our bingefest we discovered that your music has become the soundtrack to our Summer. YAY!
No way! We had started working on a Spotify playlist for fun but it’s super hard to keep up to date. We don’t always pick the obvious music compared to other sailing adventures but it makes us smile. So pleased you enjoy the tracks.
You two are the delight of YT sailing channels.
Aw chucks! Thank you for the kind words. Hope you are enjoying the adventure.
Your vibes are immaculate! Easily one of the best sailing channels. its crazy you have sub 50k subs.
Wow, thank you! We have fun and figure we should just be ourselves. Hopefully everyone hits the share button every so often as that really helps us grow. We don’t do this to be famous but if we were able to get to sustainable that would be such a relief.
Black Perl's can also be found in the Cook Islands
I’m sure. I wonder if it’s a South Pacific thing. Certainly French Polynesia is very well known for their Black Pearl industry.
@@RedSeas yeah I think it could be
Good teachers remains great teachers even in geography❤ take care
You got that right! Bri just has a natural ability to understand how to learn. It’s pretty crazy.
Cheers! You guys make it look GREAT ! All the best!
Cheers for hanging out with us. Hope you have a great week
Good luck with the quest!
Thanks! Here’s hoping we don’t meet a troll or some kind of evil wizard along the way.
Found your channel recently and really enjoy it keep up the great work. I need to find time to go back and watch prior episodes to get the back story

Then Lind leading the blind I’m sure. 😜

Maybe Captain Jack Sparrow can help you with the whole Black Pearl thing…😂
You don’t happen to be a friend of a friend to him do you? He’s not answering my WhatsApp’s 😂
@@RedSeas 😂😂😂. Keep making the great videos!!👍👍👍
Great episode guys!
Thank you sir! Nothing like the fun of a quest!

Can one make a flux capacitor from the flux gate compass?
Something we have been trying to achieve for a few years now. I mean “where we are going…we don’t need roads” after all.
Where did the mountains go? I was thinking volcano crater, and we see the edges of that crater.
Yeah, they basically corroded away over millennia leaving behind the coral reefs
I was just chatting with coworker that I’d prefer to dive with 700 sharks than spend time with a dozen + people. Love your adventures.
Donate for a Dream
I mean you must really not like that coworker 😂
Seriously tho, who would turn up the chance to do that dive!?!
@@RedSeas ha, coworker would be among the few I would want around.
Don't you have a network storage on board for movies, music and podcasts? I'm collecting movies and music since several years for exactly that reason... You also need a security copy of the video data. Hope there's at least one in Scotland with your family...

I think I prefer the black pearls now. I don’t know why but, I kept thinking of rabbits, the black pearls they leave all over the place….. oat also ..🤣😂
You might get some funny looks if you start collecting the rabbits offerings and wearing them however
It does not look that narrow, the path.
It’s hard to show on camera as we use a wider Len’s to be able to hold the camera and talk to it but this wasn’t the worst we’ve had to do. Most of the OBS rivals are under the water so it’s hard to show just how tight a squeeze these can be
you have no fishing rods , only reels ! I suppose a lot cheaper , no parts that break and same result at end of day
Yeah we can’t afford rods and the reefs have done us well so far. Altho we haven’t caught anything worth showing recently which is a shame. Perhaps time to try some other lures.
3 notes…slow day.
Sometimes a little pace is good in life I guess.
I hope some company donates you 3 Electric Winches to make it easier for you both
I wish! That would be amazing 🤩
@@RedSeas you never know , someone who wants some exposure my come along
Absolutely. We live in hope. That would make such a difference to our sailing. We might put on a few lbs however. Such an easy life just pressing a button to lift a sail 😂
@@RedSeas , that's what life is supposed to be like ..... hope you get there
