- NO ENGINE sailing past Table Mountain to Cape Town in the ocean swell. We move to the start-line for our Atlantic crossing and share the story of an inspirational man circumnavigating the world without using an engine.
We have been sailing around the world for 6 years after setting off from England in 2016 on board our 37ft sail boat Florence. Join us as we share the highs, lows, and challenges of travelling around the world by boat, Sailing offshore across the Oceans and exploring remote locations with our own little tiny house. Boat life out at sea on the ocean and off the grid.

I like your calm, relaxed and factual commentary and real video titles. Many other U Tube channel cruising couples, drive me nuts with their, click baiting comments, and video titles. What really gets to me is the " I am so excited" " I'm so excited" over and over again" then....repetition using the word "like" like" like".
Hectic hey? 🤣 You've picked up the slang alright 👍😉
Ding, ding, Florence underway.
It's getting farther and farther you sail after a few months ago you stopped in Indonesia in the covid19 pandemic season. happy sailing.
Safety First.
greeting from Indonesia
Let's not mention the voice. I'm excited for the adventure to come.
Many sailing channels comment that they can't capture the size of the waves. IMHO, I say Bravo! You capture them so well I caught myself bracing in my chair. 👏👏
Maybe we just go out in bigger waves ;-)
Amy, swallow a frog? Sweet girl, get better soon. Hopefully the sea air will do you right.
Beautiful video of an unforgiving coast. Thank you for including us along for the ride. Sail safe and keep each other well. Much love from the States.
A touch of a cold or partying the night before leaving...??????
Your videos are so well done it's a pleasure to watch and helps keep the dream alive. With my boat tied at the dock and my 69th birthday coming and still working, I need videos like yours to keep me going. Grand children almost grown up and retirement on the horizon and videos like yours to pull me across the finish line, life is good.
Awesome video! Thanks so much for the shoutout and support. You did a great job describing what I'm doing. Hope to see you in Brasil maybe!?
Amazing adventures, inspired and lazy at the same time watching UA-cam instead of walking the dog.
Nice you met Marcus...love his travels, as yours.
I’ve been watching Markus as well. I love him, I’m on the east coast of Canada ❤️
We are 1/4 way through a circumnavigation in a 34ft sailboat which we are progressively converting into the perfect small cruising boat.........BUT Moonrise will never compare to Florence. It looks perfect in every way (especially the dingy) 😍.
I say again, that you two capture big seas like no one else! Dramatic and lovely, always such a pleasure to watch.
Of all the UA-cam channels I’ve been following I look forward to your latest episode the most.
Same for us
Brings back memories,wife and myself left Cape Town on a 43 ft cutter in 1980 heading for St Helena,Ascension,Fortaleza and on to Fort Lauderdale
Out of all the sailing channels I watch you guys are the only sailors I consider sailors instead of the people who sail 50 miles and spend a month playing on the beach or partying on land. You guys are amazing. Stay safe and you are in our thoughts and prayers for a safe journey. God bless you both with his grace .
We couldn’t agree more!
Exactly, nice to watch some actual sailing for a change. The rest of the fray are basically influencers and lifestyle channels.😂
Some spectacular scenery and views, poor Amy I hope you have plenty of Lemsip's aboard
My wife and I have _so_ fallen in love with your channel. Looking forward to every episode! Stay safe out there!
I missed you guy's.....you should post more ...You are the real deal ...and you do I real nice job on your videos... Thanks much !
It takes us 2 hours of editing per 1 minute of finished video, we prefer to make less videos but take more time over them. :-)
Great to have found your current position on Marine Traffic. Took a while as there are a number of boats named 'Florence'
I've been following Marcus since he left Canada... it's so fun when yall cross
Thanks!
I love the giggle when going through the big waves
Good to see Florence under sail again as you resume your circumnavigation. Please include some footage of your fishing using the rod and reel , hope you have lots of luck with it so you can enjoy fresh fish dinners!
Will do, we didn't catch anything on that short run, but had better luck in the next episode :-)
Not in hurry to get back to UK then, thought you might sail via Azores rather than Caribbean ….enjoy!
Another well produced stunning video. Well done you two. Your voice sounded a little husky Amy hope you haven't been too sick.. Take care..
God Speed Florence and Crew :)
Great sailing around the Cape Peninsula. Grew up on that coast. An ocean not for the faint-hearted. Thanks for the interview with Marcus, the lone sailor … what an adventure! Go well, it’s been fun following along.
Congratulations on surpassing 100,000 subscribers!!! A great accomplishment for a great couple and their sailing channel! Looking forward to watching the next leg of the journey.....🎉🥂🇨🇦
Work hard and sacrifice to achieve it" can be in many forms of humanities endeavours.
having another boat in the picture sure helps to convey the wave size.
good luck!!
Once again thanks for taking the time to share your life with us. I really enjoyed the guest in this one.
Lovely to see Florence in the open again. Good score with the rod, looks like pen gear, it will be as tough as nails. Remember, dull day, dull lure, bright day bright lure, good luck. Also good luck on the ocean crossing, I can't wait.
Ah that is interesting advice on the lure. We recently had a bright lure on a foggy day and had no bites! Next time we will try a dull lure in Fog. Thanks!
Keep
Back out on the open seas where Florence shines. So great to see you on your way. Thank you for showing the beauty of South Africa. Look forward to seeing your adventures on the high seas.
How wonderful to see Marcus travelling alongside you guys...I've been following him since he began his long journey. If you can send him a message on the radio please send him my best wishes. Safe sailing guys.
My radio has a pretty weak signal... haha
You are doing so well! Yes, a break is very important. Glad you got refreshed and on again. Yes I followed Markus on his trip from Hawaii wow, scary with that infection. Thanks for another great production!
Amazing video, I have goose pimples when we begin introducing Marcus. I've been following his journey since he left Toronto, it's amazing to see him and South Africa as his current videos have him in Myanmar. Thanks for sharing, fairwinds from SV Jura - Bayfield, Ontario
Cheers Matthew. Apparently I'm lost in time...
thank you for bringing all this beauty to our desktops! (+ music choice = 5*)
I love this segment. Beautiful photography, narration and music. I used to race an Alberg 30 and a C+C 27. I live in Canada and used to run Lewmar Marine Limited here. Whitby Boatworks (builder of the Whiby boats) and C+C Yachts were clients of mine back in the 1980s. Today’s segment brings back many great memories. Have a safe passage!!! Sandy Currie, Perth,Ontario Canada
Oh my i love travelling along with you and seeing the beautiful sites along the way.
Being a Canadian.... I loved you talking with Marcus and his journey.
Stay safe and can't wait until your next video. ❤
Stunning footage of one of the most beautiful peninsula's on earth and great to see you sailing again 👍🏻
Marcus has an amazing channel called routes of change. Everyone should wanna watch channel.
Great vidio have a good passage
Love the cinematic open, good job!
You two are the real deal. I suspect your last leg across the Indian Ocean was a lot more daunting than the crossing of the South Atlantic that lies ahead of you. Well I hope it is.. 🙂 Good luck on the next leg of your adventure. Thanks for the video. Fair winds and following seas. Sail On!
Amy I hope you're feeling well you sound hoarse in this video!
Great start to heading home.
Yay - so happy to see Florence out sailing again! Love, love, loved the opening sequence music - sets up the Atlantic adventure perfectly.
And great job shining a light on Marcus and his crazy mission.
As you rightly summed up, Matt, absolutely anything is possible when it comes to chasing dreams so long as you're prepared to work hard and give up some stuff along the way.
Yeah Steelies!
I admire what Markus is doing. I've watched some of his journey. I thought he was planning to go over rather than under Africa. This guy is really roughing it. Heck of an achievement. Glad he's still trekking. Save travels!
Cheers!
What a picture to sail with the mountains in the back ground it’s a cracking video
So glad to hear that you guys had an amazing time in South Africa, and safe travels. Cape Town is a awesome place. 👍
The footage is amazing and the way you captured the swell of the sea with Craig's boat is great. Also good to see his view of you! Super episode and stay safe. Hope Amy's voice recovers!
Good luck for your crossing. I admire your bravery and envy your opportunity and decision to do what you do. Well done both of you
Beautiful day for a departure.
FLORENCE! YES! I look forward to another video as soon as the last one ends.
Thank you!
I'm sure you two are sad to be leaving South Africa, but the journey ahead is filled with excitement. As always, looking forward to the next episode, and once again great videography!!
I absolutely love your videos. Amy & Matt thank you for taking us along on your incredibly journey!🙏
Another great video! Fantastic to see Florence sailing again!
The rolling waves made me feel like I was there. Loved the music especially the guitar. 😃
Glad to see you back at sea and re-energised for your long passage. Thanks for the content and fair winds and safe sailing.
Hello Matt and Amy
wish you fair winds for the continuation of your journey. I just checked that you don't have in your plans to go to the Azores.
I will be very happy to receive you if you pass in Pico island.
Hi Bernardo, We do plan to stop in the Azores 2023, probably June ish... on our way back to England, but we have no firm plans yet :-)
@@SailingYachtFlorence I will mark it on my calendar. 🤩 hope to see you. I'm waiting for you. I'm a big fan of your channel.
first time i watch you when you sailed to hawaii & got stranded
Your videography is utterly superb!!!!
I just love your videos and the filmmaking gets more professional-looking every time.
You two are such pure hearts! I’m inspired to gracefully dig enough earth and return to sailing the open blue like you. Wish you both the best always.
Trust u catch more dinner on your travels … great to see u on board refreshed.
Great to see you with a buddy boat. Well done!
Always great to see you on the move 👍
Thanks Steve :-)
Yhanks for sharing
51 seconds into this episode and my sense is that you two are pro cinematographers who happen to sail. Your opening choice of music has made this sail quite dramatic! Yeah, nicely played! :) Can't wait to see the remaining 18:40, so away we go :¬) Webhead USA
Ohhh i agree!
The opening music is perfect.
I Truly injoyed, this video,thanks, one day, set, course,to Charleston S.C. Our,Holy City, Thanks
Take care and God bless watching from Manila Philippines 🇵🇭
Mat ...I have been following you and Amy and your awesome boat Florence for a year now and surviving so far with inoperable cancer and doing quite well so far I have in the last month been enquiring with many here and on Facebook and Zoom church and other places my ultimate dream to sail from England or Portugal or the Canaries or Azores across the Atlantic east to the Caribbean .. Bahamas, NYC OR Boston which is closer to my present home on the Mid Coast of Maine living in an old 1800s shipbuilders house not far from where his shipyard was... My mothers side came on the Mayflower and is related to Miles Standish and my father's side came across the Atlantic from England to start the Child Dynasty sailing into NY Harbor and Ellis Island in the shadow of the Statue of Linerty. On a Cunard ship of the day and I would really like to maybe sail into either or both of those ports on someone else's good sized sailing vessel perhaps with a walk in berth ..a stateroom not needed. And I would do this alcohol free not caring if the other passengers or crew embibed.. I am an artist and a singer songwriter and will use my time meditating.. reading... sketching and writing lyrics or prose inspired by all the aspects of my growing connection to the sea and people and Earth 🌎 I love so much...Even in Maine living in town the stars are nothing as they were on the Penobscot Bay not far from me or as they must be even more amazing far out at sea. I would spend several nights on deck just watching the heavens.. I bet I will take many photos and videos along the way without infringing on others privacy and maybe make a presentation afterwards for my kids and extended family and friends using many great photo ideas learned from seeing so many of your wonderful camera angles and focus ... I don't know how long I have at 69 with inoperable csncer and I don't have a lot of money though I have a lot of friends who might help me raise the money but I have no sailing ship yet and I f you or Amy hear of anyone or organization I might contact about my quest of a lifetime please could you let me know? I will never sail as long or as far as you three have managed but 2100 or 3,000 miles sounds more than enough for me.. thank you and Wow I am wishing you all the best passage yet to the Caribbean and home again to Englad. WOW or World Of Wonder (waves and wind) good luck... Blessing of Neptune be with you to succeed ♥️😊
I really enjoy your videoblog. Thank you. Keep safe and sane. Peter, Helsinki, Finland
As a sailor and video photographer myself, you,re content, the way you film and edit along with great audio,be it narrative or music or both is absolutely bang on!
Matt &Amy where have you been. Two weeks seems like an eternity. Enjoy every minute.
Hi there, i've been watching your episodes recently, I love the way you share your adventures.
I wish you a very nice journey and good luck!
Have a safe trip. Hope you can also stop at St Helena.
We will be visiting St Helena :-)
Your videos are so beautiful! The music, and the film... fantastic. I'm very glad my country was good to you - you deserve it. Happy sailing!
bon voyage! another well done video and story telling! as always here's to Florence she takes such good care of you two...stand on!!!
Love you guys!
Wow, I have been following Markus's channel Routes of Change since Hawaii, he was still in Asia a month ago per his videos
Yes, he is a long way behind on his editing work! Makes us feel less worried about being a month or two behind...
@@SailingYachtFlorence Well, most of all thank you for sharing Markus's journey, how refreshing. I watch a lot of sailing channels, you guys are Super! Your time in South Africa made me think of SV Delos every time. You guys are doers.
@@SailingYachtFlorence Actually I'm right on time! :) I like this schedule of mine. :)
Florence looks great.
Great to see you guys back on the move,look forward to your next Vlog
Wonderful, inspiring. Thank you both for bringing us along.
Godspeed.
I remember this friend of yours from his You-Tube videos from sailing across the pacific on a real cheap boat and then bicycling in the heat along the Mekong river in Lao. I am happy to see him again with you. Good luck! I hope you can mangae the tailwinds better than S/Y Delos who had sleep problems because of the sideways rocking of the boat in the monsoon. But Delos had a couple of nice land visits up the south dry Africa coast.
Thank you very much.
It's great you're so in tune with the other.. great channel
Thinking, thinking, thinking... hummmm. Thank you... inspired..life is soooo short not to see, travel this beautiful earth...blessings.👣👣👣
The guy your speaking with I remember his Hawaiian south trip. It’s a small world.
Well Florence, I'm going to miss you. so happy you enjoyed Cape Town, my home town.
I love these videos!
I’ve followed you from day 1 …. Just a fantastic voyage:)
thanks once again agreat video you two areare awesome!!!
Gosh…..is it really 3 months since you arrived in South Africa? You both look different, Matt with his Spanish looking beard and Amy with a rusty voice! Scenery, swells, look fantastic. Every episode compels me to follow in your wake!
Yay, welcome back. Always look forward to your episodes.
An outstanding video, it is great to hear from you Matt and Amy! I was thinking today that it is about time for an update! .and it nice that you highlighted another sailor! May you have red sky’s at night! 😁🛫
Another Great vlog very well put together and love them 👍
Hi mate's love your video's i have just watched all your video's over 3 weeks bloody good 👍
Some amazing shots, really enjoyed the video.
Looks fantastic. hope you get good winds. PS I think you'd should have secured the rod with a wire... If a big Dorado or macrill hooks on it'll clean that line strait of... Good lock and safe sailing...
You guys are amazing exclamation poi shouldn't point Matt you have some that's some balls! Photos Amy.
