Per your request for what type of ship that was - (based upon my diving on the remains of several sunken clipper ships in Puget Sound, Washington) - the remains of your newly discovered wreck match up perfectly as an old clipper or packet sailing ship built in the 1800's. Those old sailing ships were put together with huge bronze rods and spikes - just as shown in the video. (the high cost of bronze meant that material was not used in big ships much after the 1880s - being replaced with less expensive black iron - so that helps us age identify this vessel as one most likely built prior to 1880). There was no sign of engines/boilers/bronze tubing which also helps identify it as a sailing ship and not a steam ship. If you could follow the anchor chain, I assume it will lead to an anchor, and the type of anchor often helps narrow down the age of a wreck. Fascinating discovery! I hope you can follow up by identifying the name and history of the ship.
Fran IS, without a doubt, the finest example of the human species.❤
Fish life is amazing and so is the mermaid. Thanks for all the mini vacation . Enjoy your youth. I'm 70 and I will never be able to do anything like what you are doing. Thanks again from the Pacific Northwest
1.24 million. I know you never expected this kind of a response when you started this adventure. But here you are. Working your asses off, but getting to live this amazing life style while doing it. I'm very glad for you. Thanks for sharing this wonderful journey with us. Stay safe. ❤🙏
Agreed! 🙂
As a life long fresh water and road camper, this doesn't look like work at all, but living the dream life! We had to work between trips before YT made the life style so much easier to live full time... Now old, but at least retired, we have camped in every US state, Europe, Australia, and the best of them all, Panama!
19:45 Octopuses are quite unusual and intelligent creatures! Fun to see them in the wild!
Greetings from Maine, USA! We tend to stick to fresh water up here due to the cold year round ocean temps.....at least in my part of the state. Love your videos, as I have a fear of the ocean which will never be conquered....so to live vicariously through you two is a blessing I will not squander. I am both envious and grateful.
A fear of the ocean can easily be overcome even if it seems daunting. So long as you can swim and know how to spot riptides you’re 99.99% all good. Except for sharks obviously lol
The only channel on UA-cam I like before even starting the video
Also from Maine and love their videos
So jealous of those huge mud crabs they have down there!! Definitely don't see anything like that here in Maine!
Another Mainer here...when I'm not hitting the lakes in my bass boat I'm waiting on the next B2B video 👍 Spent many a year fishing Casco Bay as well 🐟🎣
So glad you guys never quit the adventures
Fran is such a good soul.
they both are
You two have been a Blessing in my life since the beginning of your channel! The adventures I've experienced with you have been Amazing! Luv ya both! ♥
It’s uplifting to watch two people share the love of nature and sea life. And always so upset when the episode ends. It just leaves me wishing for more. But, the format is so compelling, I can’t wait for the next week’s adventure. Go safely wonderful couple 👍
Oh my god. Cobb of corn.
Great no look shot Fran with the corn on the cob! You both have the best life!
Can you imagine the videos, stories amd adventures these guys will share with their kids in 15years time...
The shot of the manta ray swimming next to the shark was amazing, you really get a true sense of the size of these majestic creatures. Keep up the good work guys! All the best from U.K.
Wow that's awesome so many memories, the drone shots are amazing 💜 the underwater shots are like being in a aquarium it so clear ,you guys are 5 out of 5 all the way!! You can hold your breath for a long time, both of you, great success 💐🌹 can't wait to see more . Northern California says Hello 🤗💜 again this is the BEST channel on UA-cam B2B second best channel! Thank you for taking us along for the ride , 🦀🦀🦞🐟 to a New species
I could watch this all day. The cinematography, the amazing sea life. What a dream to experience this..I can smell the ocean. Thanks to you two. Also, the subtle but important message of conservation.
A walk through memory lane! Great times watching y'all! You two are just the best! Blessings and much love always! 🙏❤
People here sarcastically answer the question "How are you Doing?" with "Living the Dream"
But I think of you two when I hear that.
The best ever advertisement for your beautiful country. Amazing videos. Love it ❤.
I could watch you two all day. Best show on YT. Thanks for taking us along ❤
Always, love you guys, thanks for taking me along on the adventure
Thank you both for helping
Petting an Octopus! So cool Fran!! 🥰
My girlfriend is from Thailand and recently introduced me to salmon skin chips and they are amazing! Never thought I'd love snacking on fish skin. 😊
The octopus and the shipwreck was incredible! Aside from Fran, the highlight of the video :-) !!
Love B2B. Always plenty of surprises. Thanks for sharing folks.
I love how you guys are putting in more preparation to how you guys are cooking your catch
Yes, I agree that watching the meal prep and seeing you eat it adds depth.
Now, you have old stomping grounds everywhere…
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Kicking back on a tropical island watching Fran Fish, doesn't get any better than that❤
And the Mermaid in the water is Stunningly Beautiful 😊❤
We thank you guys for sharing your wonderful adventures with us. ❤ 🙏
- For a while I didn't think you guys would catch anything. Good job ! 👏🏽 ❤
This channel makes my day complete thanks...❤❤
Wow that was so cool seeing once again were it all began,I remember watching the two of you building the hut and as time went on Fran was decorating the walkway and hut what a great trip down memory lane.thanks for bringing us back☮️😊
Great episode! As always, I'm grateful to the two of you for sharing a part of your adventures.
It's a privilege to have been along for such a long while.
Fran, if you love octopus, you must watch a film called “My Octopus Teacher”. Absolutely beautiful. But be warned, have some tissues ready for the end. A beautiful, but sad ending.
Love your work guys!
Have you ever tried "Roasted Corn in Husk on the Campfire"? Tinfoil Not required, we alway use this cooking method when camping works great. 🙂
Great videos keep up the good work!
Another incredible adventure. Fran tickling an octopus. Thanks for bringing us along.
I love that you were back to the same beach. What a great trip down memory lane. I absolute love that shell bathing suit Fran wears, she is adorable.
Awesome video! Nice to see your old “home”!
So glad to see you two looking good....I' have watched you since the beginning so it's like seeing old friends every week, way cool!!
Fran that was amazing with the octopus.Love you both. All the way from UK .Yes I'm still watching ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
always and adventure....Thankyou for your post...Be safe!!
I stumbled across y'all's shows and I'm a big fan now. My husband started watching with me and we're both hooked! I know y'all scuba dive but we're still trying to figure out how in the world do y'all hold your breath so long. Whew and swimming with those sharks. Wow
It's nice to go back to the camp spots and find them like a time capsule
It's been a while since I watched these guys. No wonder Theyve got over a million subs. They both have the bodies of Greek gods. Amazing determination to keep filming after all those wasps! I would have absolutely been DONE. An amazing footage of an octopus, followed by dolphins. Ending up pretending to be a cooking channel.
I don't want to but it seems a pity that people like this can't stay young for several hundred years. Reality is we all know that it's really short. But it was AMAZING!
PRETTY COOL
Been watching from the beginning , pure Gold, amazing how far y’all have been, you Both soooooo Blessed! Thank you for sharing! y’all Keeping it simple and basic! Beautiful
Those table corals are absolutely massive. Looks like a species of Acropora with Montipora mixed in
WHEN IT'S WINTER OUTSIDE, WHEN IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE, WHEN THERE IS SADNESS IN MY HEART, THEN I WATCH YOUR FILMS. THEY ALWAYS BRIGHTEN MY DAY.
Yell it to the crowd😮😂
Your channel is amazing! Educational content, beautifully shot! Camera quality is next level, guys! You deserve your own outdoor adventure show! Cheers!! 🌊
Crazy so much life in the water, a year that's crazy, thanks legends
Every where you go is so beautiful ✨🔱⚓. Thank you for the adventures
Crazy how far you have come in one year! I'm so happy for you two success couldn't happen to a nicer couple. I truly enjoy your content as yous side of the world really intrigues me. So watching you guys travel and have fun is amazing and thank you for making your episodes informative and entertaining at the same time. The little details do not go unnoticed like little arrows point at things , telling us information about different creatures as well as putting the actual type on the screen so the viewers know what they are looking at . So thanks guys for letting me feel like I'm right beside you on all your adventures! ❤️ Michelle from Ontario Canada
Ooh! Fran you had such an amazing way with Octopus 🐙 🎉😊
Hi guys, beautiful video, love 💕 the contrast between the island and water. Love the water 💦 fishing footage. Thanks so much 😊
I absolutely love your shows guys they are my favourite things to watch. You guys obviously love each other but Strick you don’t seem to show a lot of affection to Fran I’m sure you do but I would like to see and hear you tell her you love and adore her like we all do ❤❤❤❤👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽. You guys are awesome I would love to be able to do what you do. 😜😜
Captain Jack's ship from England
Or from mobbie-Dickinson novel is the wreckage in the waters
26:07 - a couple tips from both the very white part of my family that owns corn farms, and very Mexican part of my family that loves elotes: no need for foil, just throw the corn on the fire in the husk.
then once it's cooked take the husk off.
after that if you want to go 1 step further and get an even better flavor, stab a stick in the cob and hold the corn right over the fire/coals until you get a tiiiny bit of a char.
you can add the butter and salt either before or after you char the corn.
you can also add a little chile powder or tajin if you want something really special.
(tajin has salt already, so skip the extra salt if you add tajin)
you can thank me later lol
You two are truly soulmates. Many more blessings to you two.
You both deserve all the support in the world!! Much love from the coast of Maine 🤙 ❤️
Wow, so cool to see the old camp! Might have to go back and watch those episodes again! Thanks for bringing us back!❤
That is great you planted coconuts !!
Huge smile on our faces when we see your videos pop up, happy vibes always from your edits/videos ❤🤙🏽🌅🙃
You guys are great thank you for another fabulous video. As always Be Safe!
Full circle! Excited to check out the episode. Can't believe it's been this long (and yet it feels only like yesterday) since you started this journey. Cheers to both of yous!
Came over and subscribed from Sailing LA Vagabonde, and very glad I did!
Hi Fran & Jack absolutely beautiful spot, amazing. Love Sundays so I can watch your next adventure. Cheers
Incredible sea life! That Octopus! My highlight too!
I've followed you two from La Vaga . Definitely will continue. Fantastic video. ❤from 🇨🇦
nice to see you using the coconut bowl and fork, We bought those a while back. still use them.
We appreciate your dedication and commitment. Keep working hard.
Nice to revisit the past.. good luck in the future & many more adventures 👍👍🙏🇬🇧
Awe!! Y’all need to rebuild!! Love it. ❤
I really appreciate what you guys do together you guys make a great team a good couple. always enjoy watching your adventures. I've never been able to enjoy the ocean so it's really fun watching you guys interact with nature. thank you for what you provide.
So fun to see you guys back at the beginning. I'd love to know how much the rest of the island may have changed over the year you've been gone. And Fran, the way you got that octopus to come out was absolutely amazing. I loved every minute of this, can't wait for next week.
I remember those episodes, seems like yesterday 🎉 Your videos are the best thing on YT
I was about 15 years old, fishing about 10 miles into the Atlantic at night, off the Florida Keys. 😮 A giant turtle surfaced on our bow anchor line. It made a huge breathing noise before I saw it and it scared the hell out of me. Resembles a large fire rocket launch 🎉
Great memories for some of us fans too! Thanks for taking us all for a wonderful ride from location to location. You two are a pleasure to watch every weekend. Ok, enough reminiscing...you two need to keep it going and keep us fans watching!?* lol...Have a great weekend; stay safe! duck
Wow… so surreal seeing the old digs 😱🤓❤️
Just want to say ,Fran ,you are gorgeous ,and we dont have a problem with your accent. Your personality is a beam of light. Ive watched almost all of your videos and i admire your beautiful character. Both of you handle difficulties with such a positive outlook.
(Negative aspect but plz read ,im not hating on anyone ,just expressing my gratitude for your methods)
I was complaining to my partner afew days ago about how you should have more subscribers. If anyone deserves the most succesful sailing channel its you guys. I mean (no hate on la vagabonde - love them but...) it seems unjust that they have all these views when in my opinion , their channel isnt even real sailing anymore ,its just a houseboat. They shop for groceries but you guys live day to day ,working hard for your food ... for years having to set up camp on beaches ,facing elements and animals. You have both experienced ultimate discomfort and yet you persist in being positive and you stick to what you love... but la vagabonde makes videos complaining about how they cant do it anymore ,when they are ridiculously spoiled etc. (And i have watched them from the beginning btw)
Again no hate but la vagabonde is the richest sailing channel and i think its unfair. Complaining when theyre on a luxury boat ...when you and fran JOYFULLY face constant discomfort and challenges.
The point is , i love your channel. Your videos are peaceful. Your videos inspire me to do something that i love and not to give up when its tough. Your videos inspire me to be appreciative of what i have in the moment ,focusing on the positives. You both inspire me to respond with solutions ,rather than negativity.
These are traits that i have noticed in your channel that OTHER CHANNELS LACK. So i want to say , again , Fran...please dont be insecure about your accent ...because your voice ,your positive words ,your positive attitude , your beautiful character ...is what draws so many of us to watch this channel. You are just such a lovely human and you deserve the best...both of you. Jack ,you are super cool ... love your survival videos and MANN some of them were hectic. Well done. You are perfect for eachother ,two beautiful souls ❤❤:)
May you both have PROSPERITY AND ABUNDANCE!
Love u guys ❤ Tash
Another wonderful episode and it brings back memories for many of your fans too.
That was cool going back. Glad you were able to catch another bone fish there. Being a fly fisherman you can't believe how highly regarded that fish is, almost a religious icon for flyfishing
I watched La Vega for many years until it became unwatchable , you guys are making great content!
I remember that island and the uniqueness of that first adventure very well and it had my imagination and a subscription from the beginning.
Brilliant guys thank you. Love Fran's corn cooking technique 😲.
Great show thanks.
So awesome! I thought we were all done for a while. UA-cam stopped putting these vids in my feed for the past month or so.
Hey you two , another episode of " not knowing what to expect " . The fillet of trout was a beautiful piece of fish . I know you were , or it sounded that way , hoping for mud crab , crayfish was another nice choice . Either or the other you couldn't go wrong . Surely a nice location .
What would an episode be without a few sharks to make a visit . I've noticed how docile they are / can be . Surely a situation where " you don't mess with me , I don't mess with you " . Alright , good seeing you both , take care .
Amazingly Beautiful Guys! Love the Octopus!💙💙
Love it! I love the refreshing water you can swim in every day. I now live near Lake Huron in Canada, and I’ll need to get a snorkel, too!!
Gidday guys like other comments we came across you guys again via LaVagabond. You did have another channel we were watching where you towed your boat to Ashmore Reef so this new series appears to be similar, though it could also be a tropical version of Alone Australia run on SBS. We take it that you in the Keeling Cocos group of islands? Would be to good prior to your adventures to sit down and talk to the subscribers about what your intent is what you have with you( equipment etc) obviously you either got dropped off their or your new boat(if you still have) then we the subscribers will be able to fully share this experience. Loved your shop and the natural beauty of the shells used in your apprael. Good luck and we better head back to series one to enjoy this cinematography masterpiece that you have been known for. Be safe, take care and thank you for allowing us to be of you adventures. 👍😇🙏🏝️
Wow that turtle and those corals were huge!!!
Strick, you are one lucky guy! All this adventure and Fran too!😊
Watching you from Annapolis Maryland USA… I look forward to Sunday’s so I can watch your next adventure.. thanks for taking us along with you, the drone footage was incredible..
Beautiful video, beautifully filmed! Thanks for sharing! Much ❤ to you both! Happy and safe adventures! 🙂😎
that looks spectacular. thank you for sharing
Un petit bonjour de France 🇫🇷 où je regarde vos vidéos avec beaucoup d'envie. Petit changement de sujet pour nos amis américains, canadiens, anglais, FFL, résistants, etc. Que ceux que j'ai oublié me pardonne. Nous venons de passer la date du 6 juin et du débarquement de Normandie. Cela a été un moment très émouvant. Nous n'oublierons jamais les sacrifices des soldats. Ils resteront à jamais dans nos cœurs et nos mémoires. 👍👍👍💞💞💞 Après ce moment de recueillement nous pouvons retourner dans les îles paradisiaques...
Glad to see you are back, greetings from 🇨🇦
I thought you guy's were done !.... hard to let go of paradise 😊
I like your videos because of the ocean & sceneries. Keep up the good good work guys...
With love,
Derrick
Malaysia
I hope all is well with Ms. Fran. Look forward to your adventures with Warren & Erica 🎉
mi admiracion y respeto por ustedes ,,me encanta lo q hacen y su manera d hacerlo con humildad ,desde argentina un saludo los felicito buenas vibras forever
Put a slice of raw potato on the wasp stings or any bug bites to suck out the venom. It works great!
I love watching your videos! You two are so sweet. Sending love and hugs
Love your channel, but Fran, sea level hasn't risen 3 meters in a year. Strick provided the answer; storm surge from cyclones.
Congratulations on 1.24M subscribers. Great content -- you two deserve it.
