We never expected life in our 20's to look like this, especially when we were initially intimidated by even crossing the English Channel! However, the San Blas islands have us under their spell. Could you see yourself living a simple life on a sailing boat?
As a recently widowed, fairly fit 72 year old, this is still on my bucket list- get a live-aboard catamaran and sail round the Caribbean and maybe further. You have to have a dream…. 🤔⛵️
Becca and Zach, truly amazing footage, you both fit right in with the local's. Congrats on spearing your first fish, Becca! Marvelous, simply delightful you could share.
I don't think I have ever started on a sailing channel and didn't drift off from it, even some of the most popular lost my interest. None of that with your two. It's a good watch and you two are the sweetest humans
They are the sweetest couple for sure. The Hunter and the Gatherer. I think Becka’s the electrician and Zach is the carpenter. All the rest, they do together. I knew nothing about sailboats or sailing before I started watching this channel and I think I’ve learned so much vicariously.
North Wales cook tip for the best cooked fish on the beach. 1) Dig a hole in the sand 2)Make a fire and put hand size rocks in it. 3) Add a layer of leaves/grass at the bottom of the hole, add the hot rocks (use a stick) then covet over with grass. 4) Place fish in the hole(cover the fish with grass/foil) 5) fill over with sand for 40 minutes. The meat fall off just by running your finger over the fish... Best way to cook a fish 😉
Only just found you guys in the last 48 hours and have been binge watching ever since - what great content and vids. San Blas looks like utter paradise.
From Papua New Guinea, commendations. Your videography is truly mesmerising! You must feel enormously proud of your achievements since you bought into sailing. Wishing you safe passage always.
I don't know if you have ever watched "Plukky" of Sailing into Freedom, an Australian who ended up spending so much time in the San Blas islands that it became pretty much his home away from home. He is currently building a new boat, but I think you can be sure that if you ask ANY of the islanders if they know Plukky, you'll get an enthusiastic yes! He became a bit of a legend around there.
such a beautiful area you are in San Blas. So much under water life you could just eat all your meals from the Ocean. Plus you've the coconuts and other vegetation that also edible on land. Becca congrats on spearing your first fish. Sea Crocs even there wow! Hopefully they stay just in the river systems and not out into the ocean. Enjoy you two catch you next video.
Amazing to believe you’re having so much adventure for the initial investment of the price of a small camper van. Certainly buying that sailing boat was the best and right thing to do. I’ve been following you guys right from day one and I’m amazed at how much you’ve seen and done in such a relatively short time and I’ve certainly enjoyed the journey. 😊
HI. I'm so glad you had such a good time in San Blas. As just an observer at home I have watched so many people have a wonderful time there, my fingers were crossed that you would find it just as charming. Someone once said it was glorious. Love you guys and your adventure. Thanks and stay safe. ❤🙏
This is truly a special place to experience what sailing life has to offer. In my cruising days circumnavigating had no appeal. Finding the best tropical places to live was my goal. Highest Blessings
Spearo tip: scale and gut fish in the water before getting out. I usually do it with in seconds of shooting a fish or at the end before steaming back home but back in the water so scales and guts remain in the water.
So glad you stopped. I lived in Aruba for a year and there were always boats heading to and from the San Blas. Could be really easy to get sucked in for a year!
Paradise. I remember walking a beach on Aruba and it started to rain. From London-Amsterdam-Berlin latitude, my reflex was to run to under a few palm trees as shelter from the rain. After two jumps, I halted, looked up and said, thank you someone. The water was as warm as the atmosphere (35C = 95F). The fresh water on the salty skin, though was welcome as a shower and for adding coolant to the skin. What about the Panama region?
We love it when it rains for a bit, it gives us a chance to clean Teulu and get the salt off her. It also cools everything down for a bit 😊 Its about 35C in Panama too.
Geez Louise…Crocadiles☹️ in the Caribbean…First time anybody ever mentioned😜 Hoping someday, somehow ya Folks can get yourself a Water-Maker…Continue to Stay Safe and Enjoy 😎
In that area, the American crocodile is prevelent. Inland in Venezuela the Orinoco crocodile and a few types of caiman are found. Although not aggressive to humans, they will readily defend themselves if you approach them.
They are found inland and the American croc is found in mangroves in brackish waters as well. The only "salt water crocodiles" are found from N. Australia through the Malay archepeligo, along the south east Asian coast into parts of India. The Salt water croc and the Nile croc in Africa are the 2 species of crocodilians known as "man eaters". This leaves 21 species of crocs, caiman and alligators that are normally shy around people (like bears) but as soon as people start throwing them food, they lose their fear, and just wait underwater for the next splash, expecting more hot dogs or chicken bones. Unfortunately, about 10 times in the past 100 years, that splash was a kid or pet in Florida, causing authorities to pass an ordinance: 2000.00 dollar fine for anyone caught feeding alligators in Florida. That was in the early 90s, it may be more today. Although some are man eaters, we still have the big brains and can learn how to avoid them. Only those with small brains insist on poking the bear until accidents happen. Or croc in this case.
Only just found this channel and binged the whole adventure in the last week or two . Love the videos and can’t wait to see the next part of the journey .
Nice one Teulu. Yes, I could happily give up civilisation for a life on the ocean waves, but age and ill-health make it impossible. As it is, I had my share of travel when I was a child, due to my father's occupation with the British Admiralty and his frequent postings abroad. Fair Winds.
Congratolation you are made it for the beautiful islands its tropical paradise island 🏝️ ⛵ I m sailor from Hawaii islands, I was living 36 years in the garden island of Kauai one of the most beautiful island on the planet ,many pictures 🖼️⛵🌊 sailing and not sailing on my Facebook page.I recommend to you guys to sail to Kauai island,also to Fatu Hiva , Tahini and Juan Fernandez island , Robinzon Crouse island ,this are three islands the most beautiful on the planet, believe it and I recommend strongly ,antather islands not so much .Also Salomon islands beautiful and friendly people ,Tapia, island ,Soloman islands Also Savaii island in The western Samoa island , . enjoy you guys islands , the best life only islands , I island noy ,I love island I m friendly and for me is good .I m not interested in s big cities , because people in big cities not so friendly
A young Japanese snorkeler was grabbed by a Croc off Green island a couple of years ago. It actually released her. But left her with some lifetime scars on her legs and thighs! Be wary guys especially close to rivers!
First found you guys back just after you'd finished uni - I live just up the road and was looking at what others were up to - now you're halfway around the world and loving life. It's really great to see.'?$£££E>:;;;;56 Sorry, decided to keep that last bit in - seems my cat agrees.
Don't the magnets in those iPones wreak havoc on your compass when mounted on the binnacle like that? Do y'all have any advice on sailing a ketch vs. sloop? Be careful down there in Colombia!!
"It does not taste fishy". When the fish dies and its metabolism comes to a halt, after some time it starts to smell "fishy" because reaction chains (metabolic pathways) continue but are no longer supervised. The fishy means it is not "fresh" any longer. The initial fishy smell will probably disappear when you heat the meat enough. Beyond fishy it starts to smell like ammonia and this does not go away in cooking. The ammonia will damage your mucous membranes and you want to prevent that (by not eating such a fish and by not even trying to cook it).
Absolutely stunning video The quality the editing is just top notch kudos to you. Just curious how much do the locals charge for a lobster like in US money. Safe sailing God bless can't wait to see your next video next week
It looks gorgeous, and I've followed you from the early days, but I can't be bothered with the 30 second adverts every 2 minutes or so, so I'm going to bow out now. I hope fair winds and good times find you wherever you go!

I must admit Zack you sounded so posh with your description of the "anal tract" whereas I've always referred it as the "poop shute" keep up the great work i love your channel.
Seems like you two are into the higher cuisines above fish and chips. The snapper must have been delicious. Seemed like a barracuda swam through the frame, but not targeted. Is this an awareness of these being very high up in the food chain and potentially not so healthy for humans to eat? Shark ... generally leave people alone as long as they do not make splashing noises. Splashing noise triggers the hunting instinct as evolution taught that the individual doing so must be having problems and consequently is an easy snack. Shark 2. Does it taste like ray? They're not all the same, I know, but restaurants here occasionally offer ray and it tastes really good (because of the absence of less attractive hunches). (I don't have to explain a marine biologist, I think, about the ray/shark nearness in the taxonomy.)
In the San Blas people don't tend to eat Barracuda, I'm not too sure why but we've always been told to eat what the locals eat and you'll be fine. I imagine it would as they are fairly closely related but we would never target one for numerous reasons.
@@TeuluTribe - from the interwebs "Barracudas may harbour ciguatoxin. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) places barracuda at the top of its list of predatory fish, consumers ought to avoid. This is because large, predatory fish that live near reefs, like barracudas, have a greater chance of passing along ciguatera fish poisoning."
Ciguatera fish poisoning (ciguatera) is a foodborne illness caused by eating tropical reef fish, which have accumulated a naturally occurring toxin or poison called ciguatoxin. Small sea plants, called dinoflagellates, which grow on and around coral reefs, naturally produce ciguatoxins.

Similar to peppers, the green snapper is less ripe, the yellow almost ripe, and the red snapper is completely ripe!
I had no idea, thanks for the tip!
Crocs and gators sound like frogs at times. Also they hiss.we currently have a gator in the marina.love the videos
