  • 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.

  • @gjeess1
    @gjeess1 Год назад +3

    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 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!......................⛵⛵⛵

    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.

    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...
