  • We're sailing for Fiji! But before we reach these renowned islands of paradise in the South Pacific, we need to navigate low winds (and accept that patience is a virtue when sailing) as well as waters strewn with coral atolls that pose a hazard to unwary sailors!

    Patience! Good passage with some excellent navigation thru those attolls! Moe than a few boats/ships lost in there. New country, new adventures! Thank you for sharing all this!

    you mentioned that from Fiji you were going straight for Australia. How do you feel about it? mixed feelings? Or are you ready to go home ? Whatever it is, i take my hat off for you all. What a journey, what an adventures. Warm regards from us, Jan and Sandra

      Hi Jan and Sandra, we drop into Vanuatu first before Oz. Definitely ready to go home, and get back into using our minds for more than sailing and exploring!

    Hi. I have followed your channel from beginning and notice that you always film only on the deck or on land somewhere but never inside the boat. My personal opinion is that it would give your channel more content to see how it is to live inside your boat.

      Thanks Hannu, appreciate the feedback - guess it's really because we do spend most of our time on deck or on land, and only spend time below to cook and sleep...

    Hi Fil.
    Thanks for the answer on the boom brake.
    How big of a tender did you have ? How heavy was the outboard you stowed on the stern rail ?
    Our 458 is here soon.

    • @Expedition_Tranquilo
      @Expedition_Tranquilo  Рік тому

      Hi Chip, all good! The tender was 2.9m and the outboard a yamaha 6hp, around 25kg. Cheers, Fil

      On the bow, yes it would - hard floor or air floor? Might be worth considering a davit for the outboard at least - made it much easier to drop the ourboard onto the tender once we installed it in Italy.
