13 | A Voyage Through the Tuomotu Archipelago

- Though the Marquesas Islands had captivated us with their beauty, it was time to set sail on the 500 nautical mile passage to the Tuomotus. When we arrived we found islands that were different from the Marquesas in nearly every way. Turquoise lagoons lined by white sand beaches awaited us, and we found beautiful coral reefs surrounding the palm fringed islets.
Julia is a traditional wooden boat, constructed to the Ingrid design by William Atkin. She was built in 1960 of fir and cedar on oak frames, and has proven to be a capable blue water crusing boat for voyaging the world's oceans.
Our dinghy is skin-on-frame and was designed by Dave Gentry.

Am a blue water sailor myself and this is easily my absolute favourite channel on RUclips. Lovely people in wonderful places. Skilled sailors and no click bait in beautifully filmed and edited programs. As good as it gets anywhere. Well done and thank you.
amen
Yep, great relaxing editing with relaxing music. No onboard drama.
No clickbait, no soft porn, and no dramas. Woodenboat cruising at its best and pukka weathered bronze to boot! Glad to see your subscriber numbers are up, well deserved.
Well said.
They don't know or tell you that water always is flat.
Classy sailing channel…fabulous well maintained yacht and superb videography
This is the best of the best. Also appreciate the music and the classic sailor's journal commentary. Nothing else like it on RUclips!
Right! I am sick of channels showing t&a to get views. It's either good content or not. Great channel!
One of the best real sailing channels on RUclips. Thank you.
Absolutely next level…
Awesome sailing and sights. Beautiful scenery. Very relaxing. 👍❤️
Love the way you show things with minimal talking, giggling or showing off for no reason.
Love your old style classic boat too..!! 👍👏👌😎
Tuomotu are probably some of the best Pacific cruising there is. You do them justice. Just beautiful.
Quality over quantity shows and is greatly appreciated
Greetings from Seattle. I love your channel, and I have been obsessively watching for your next episode.
There are no word to describe the beauty you are showing us. Well done, can’t wait for more sailing, diving and exploring
With such experiences you are blessed from God.. Regards from Netherlands 🇳🇱.
What keeps me returning to your voyage scenes is there is something authentic about the boat you built, the trueness of your sailing experience, and the essential rhythm of your passage making. Thank you so much for sharing!
Yours is such an “Underrated” Channel❤️ Continue to Stay Safe and Enjoy 😎
I'm loving this. Living vicariously with you guys. My blue water sailing days are over as I've aged out of this kind of adventure, but your videos are so laid back and fun to watch . Thanks
Absolutely correct comment! I am the same.
I've noticed some other comments below and totally agree, this is the best sailing channel on RUclips. I think it is due to the very good narration, excellent use of music, and the footage being raw and to the point - it makes you dream of buying your own boat and setting sail. Many other channels are overly commercialised and focused less on sailing and more on making money - which is their prerogative. Please keep to this format, don't change, you will be rewarded in the long run.
I love the tone of voice. It reminds me of the documentaries of Jacques Cousteau. No nonsense or overproduced, overedited. Well done.
Lovely scenery in those reefs as you scuba dive. Scared of the seas as I can't swim but appreciate the scenery and interaction. Adoring South African. Thanks for sharing 🎉🎉🎉
Great camera work and editing. Nicely put together.
I was going to say the same thing... : ⁰ )
Wow how beautiful is that place.. awesome video guys...safe passage.😁👍⚓⛵🇦🇺
Your videos are amazing 😊👌💖 congratulations
I know you guys are right in the middle of it, and I am sure you have moments that you feel you could capture the beauty of your surroundings better though I don't know how but I have to ask one question. Do you take a moment after you've edited a video and reflect on just what a masterpiece you've created time after time? Your videos surpass my consciousness and touch my soul. Thank You so very much for taking us along. Can't wait for Dad to board! Put him to work! lol 😂Thanks again!......................⛵⛵⛵
By far my one if not the best sailing RUclips channels of all. Thank you again for sharing such wonderful moments in your journey!
Blue colours and soft whispering waves and calm music...soothing on my nerves tonight...not to mention all the fishes
Beautiful islands. Lovely underwater scenery. Most of us will never visit them personally. So nice to have arm chair visits with you.
Incredible video work throughout. The Tuomotus look absolutely amazing.
Really loving the videos you make. A beautiful format.
I can see from your faces that you are happy.
Keep safe !
Bravo Zulu - I like the quiet, peaceful style of your videos. They have an older “documentary” feel to them.
I enjoyed this very much…nice footage with nice serene music that gave lots of depth to the nice scenery..
This is real blue water cruising done by a lovely couple..Thanks for sharing..
I absolutely fell in love with this beautiful boat. Have a nice and save trip.
Thank you both so much for sharing your beautiful experiences.x
We've been waiting to see this video. Thank you for sharing your adventure of these beautiful islands created by God
Such a beautiful boat, doing what she was made for, sailing the world. You can almost feel her Joy.
You both look so at one with your life. Peaceful. Happy. Beautiful imagery that is allowed to tell its own story. Such a joy to watch. I wish I had known about floating the chain. It would have saved me many problems in the Cook Islands
I was so excited to see a new episode from you guys!! Another great one. By far one of the best sailing channels and with a lovely boat.
I was down in Mo'orea this last month and thought I saw your boat in Cook's Bay. Looking forward to seeing the Tahiti episodes.
Muchas gracias por explicarnos sus aventuras, me parecen de otros mundos.....
A voyage through the Tuamotu Archipelago is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that promises unforgettable experiences and lifelong memories in one of the most breathtaking corners of the world.
Always a treat when Madison publishes
Absolutely love your segments. It reminds me of sailing the unspoiled Grenadines 60 years ago.❤
What a joy, to watch your vids, they get better and better......hmmm...I`m dreaming of your boatlife in this great part of the world.
Watched a lot of sailing vids, you both are so natural and for me one of the best, big compliment!
Bernie from Germany
It's been a miserable winter in the Pacific Northwest and it's not over yet. My cutter rig Ingrid is tied up at the dock waiting to sail the Salish Sea this summer.
Great to see you living your dream!
I've watched many sailing adventure videos on RUclips. These videos are the best. The cinematography is outstanding. Well done! Keep the videos coming.
This is exactly the pace that suits me. The images, not too much talk. just perfect. Merci!
The comment section has hit all of the points. This is a great channel for its authenticity, videography, and lack of commercialization of the channel. I also find myself very at peace and at ease when watching. I believe it is due to the narration and the personalities of you both. My favorite channel regardless of how frequently you post. Enjoy your travels!
It has been a long waiting time but it has been worth!
Thanks for sharing your videos and good winds !!
Whitney, It's absolutely impossible not to smile seeing you smiling so naturally
Thank you both 😊
Wow, just wow what a gorgeous video. I’ve been following since the bandsaw rebuild, but this one blew me away. “Simply amazing”, I’ll say! Thanks for sharing
You guys have one of the best produced vlog on this subject and a beautiful boat also. Best of luck. Cheers.
The best 33 minutes I've watched on YT for a long time. Happy safe travelling to you both.
Twenty years ago my wife and I married in Rarotonga and spent 4 days in Aitutaki another atoll. Memories flooded back!
Best wishes from the UK.
Always look forward to your videos and so glad to see a new one! You are easily the best sailing channel on YT. Keep at it! Can’t wait to see what new adventures the Society Islands bring. FWFS.
Gorgeous sailing vessel, beautiful nature filming, as well as informative and exciting. Stay safe and stay groovy.
Absolutely best cruising video. Well shot, edited and great music. Used to have a gaff rigged schooner. This is the dream. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing it feels like I'm there 😎😊🌍😇
Love your videos. Sometimes I watch them twice. I’m a wooden boat owner. Your featuring the boa😢t is wonderful. Keep them coming.
Your videos are really superb. Thank you
Hear! Hear! Best sailing channel on YT. Wooden boats are so much more aesthetically pleasing. The narration is great: not pretentious and very informative. Every shot is a postcard
Another beautiful video. What I love best about this channel is that, technology aside, this could just as easily be filmed in 1963 as 2023. I hope you both enjoy your time in the S Pacific .
Your journeys are magical. Thanks for taking us along !
Great job ,keep up the good work. I love your videos.
No doubt you will treasure not only the memories of the Tuamotu Islands, but also those great shots of Julia silhouetted against the backdrop of the atoll, coral reef, sunsets etc. Julia is so evocative of an earlier age of South Pacific trading sailing vessels (OK, they were usually schooners not ketches!). She looks authentic in that setting compared with the plastic cats etc! I bet you get envious glances from some of the other sailors...
I love your videos. Great job. All the best.
You both are so wonderful and present such a beautiful view of your world. Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing your travels.
Amazing! Thank you so much folks for creating these beautiful videos… watching truly calms my spirit and gives me joy 😊
you are great. We love you very much. My wife and I enjoy watching your videos. Greetings from Türkiye
Beautiful as always!
Outstanding.
Beautiful, as always
I'm so grateful for these wonderful videos! I can't get over how beautifully done they are. Such quality videography, the lovely sound track, the mellow thoughtful narration, and of course the spectacular subject matter,. As well as the fine boat, the attractive crew. A chance to share in a long time dream that will not become a part of my reality. Yet here I have a chance to enjoy and share in your adventures vicariously. Thank you so much.
Yours is the only sailing channel I go back to watch again!
The swimming with sharks got me; Doesn’t matter how safe they are I just can’t do that!
Jonathan’s grey shirt with the circle is cool!
She
Pure class, so refreshing to see this from two genuine and informative sailors.
Just beautiful
When you get to the open sea you are truly on your own - it must feel fabulous.
Love the pre-RUclips celeb style you guys have. So Classic!
Stumbled upon your channel and love your unique sailing experience between islands. Thanks for sharing glimpses of your journey. Enjoying the ride and looking forward to checking out your other adventures too!
Stunning scenery. Beautiful video.
Brilliantly put together. The journey continues…
Incredible videos, incredible boat. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful boat, beautiful sailing, beautiful music, gorgeous islands - I love following your voyage. Thanks for bringing us along!
Thank you!! Amazing footage.
New to this channel and now an absolute favourite. Thank you !
Thanks. Great video. You two are crushing it.
Best channel for capturing the true essence of sailing and exploration. Well done our surrogate travelers of the mind.
I don't have words other than thoroughly, thoroughly magnificent. Happy and safe sailing ⛵️
It is a privilege to view what you guys are doing. Thank you!
Oh how I truly miss sailing ..!!! TYTY for posting your adventures
A great journey, well done!❤
What a marvelous adventure!
The best! Fantastic! 😻😍
Beautiful, thank you so much for sharing this with us. Made me weep...
.....uuuufff !!! Impresionante !!! Es un trabajo de joyería ! El muchacho, mínimo es un Oficial de la Marina de algún país del Primer Mundo !! La chica....es una crack !! Hace la segunda mano a mano !! La Mujer Maravilla....le quedó chiquitita !! gracias por tanto !!!
Thanks again for another fantastic episode. Really loving your channel.
Mesmerizing! Way to go!
Love your beautiful classic yacht, and the superb photography.
Loving the storytelling and beauty of your episodes
Thank you for your videos. They are enjoyable and excellent in every way.
The only channel where I watch each episode multiple times. The editing is probably the best I've seen, along with Sailing Florence.
You guys make such lovely videos where the scenery and journey speak for themselves- and they do. I wish you’d have spent more time in the Tuamotus, but hey, on to the next adventure and I’m looking forward to that. Thanks for taking me along.
Thank you for sharing your time and reminding us just how beautiful being alive can be😊🙂💕
Just beautiful. I love the pace and of course the real handmade boats.
Really applaud you do not profane the quiet beauty of the atolls and islands by rowing or sailing to shore rather than buzzing in with an outboard motor. Good on you!
Whitney, you are so beautiful and that smile, wow.... Jonathan is a bloody LEGEND... your narrating is captivating 😊. I love the boat, it's so cool. I'm a new subscriber all the way from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦. Blessings 🙌.
