- After 20 days at sea, we arrived in the Caribbean! We came into Jolly Harbour at night but after being the keenest to check in the next day, we were so excited to be surrounded by fruit trees, turquoise water and Caribbean culture.

About Us
We are Becka and Zach, a couple who, in 2020, dreamt of sailing off into the big blue. Trouble is- we were in a pandemic, had a university degree to finish, on a student budget, only had ever sailed dingies, oh and didn’t have a boat. The dream seemed not only unrealistic but pretty insane.
However, we worked hard, finished our degrees, worked as many hours as physically possible, saved with all our might, got experience and in March 2022 bought our very own sailboat, Teulu. Having little sailing experience and being a young couple, we have encountered a tonne of hurdles and made plenty of mistakes! but for every downfall, there has always been a reason to dust ourselves off and carry on.
We hope you can join us as we sail around the world and keep #bloodydoingit
#sailing #boatlife
Forget the big posh yachts, yours is the best in this marina to me. It holds the achievements of two very young and special people who never fail to amaze us all. To us you are like the great explorer’s of the 21st century. Keep up the travels, and a big congratulations 🎉🎉
You’re too kind David! Teulu says thanks ☺️
@@TeuluTribe Wot he said is SO true!
I've seen a dozen sailing channels try to capture the feeling of having crossed an ocean for the first time, but that opening on the dock blew them all out of the water. So awesome.
Thank you so much, it’s nice to know that it came across right 😊
Didnt for me felt kinda forced. But I love your channel and your videos overall! Such great content!
I"m impressed with your level of maintenance and care of your equipment. It shows some really good character.
Cheers, if you look after your equipment it will look after you 😊
Well done guys, little wonder it’s so emotional reaching your goal after an Atlantic voyage. What an achievement 😀👍
It was definitely a bit of an emotional moment for everyone on Teulu. Thanks 😊
Congrats!!! That opening scene reminded me of when I was a kid and used to cruise around the BC gulf islands. I could seriously recall the smells. I’d love to accomplish a crossing like that.
Cheers 😊 We can’t wait to see that coast!
great job doing your first big crossing, been here since the start and can-t belive you guys are already over the pond :) realy makes one want to work even harder to someday get myself a boat and follow your example :)
Thanks for following along, we wouldn’t be here without people like yourself 😊 Do it!!
So cool, when you arrived there was a Steve Dashew designed boat right next to you (Iceberg). He used to design sail boats for cruisers for nearly 50 years.
Iceberg is a crazy boat, we’d love to have a look around it!
Steve Dashew boats are incredible. Not the prettiest, but do the job better than anything else of a similar size.
@@unpluggedkiwi1063 I was lucky enough to be able to visit Beawulf in Vancouver years ago...a 78-foot yacht that had a top speed of over 25kn (Fiji to SF...)
congratulations to you both,,well done..
Thank you 🙏
Huge Congratulations!!!
Quite a benchmark in your sailing experiences. I couldn't be happier for you two!
Cheers David, hopefully the first of many ocean crossings to come!
congratulations guys!!!!!!
i am real impressed with you and i hope in 2 years from today to see each other on blue waters. Again ....congratulations!!!!!!!!👏👏🥳🥳🥳🥳
Thanks Andre! We hope so too 😊
What an achievement, Well done and enjoy your time in the wonderful Caribbean

Congratulations to you! What an amazing trip it’s been.
It’s definitely been the best year of our lives 😊
Awesome, you have spoilt us until now with your video's, now you can spoil yourselves and us as you enjoy the beauty of the Caribbean, may your time there bring you wonderful memories.
It’s our pleasure John! We’ve been loving the Caribbean so far 😄
I’d rather that weather than what we currently have here in Swansea! Well done everyone enjoy and unwind......but not for too long! 👍🏻👊🏻🙌🏻🍾
It sounds like its been a long winter back home. Hopefully spring will be just around the corner 😊 We will!
Yippee for You👍 Hoping Continued Success & Enjoyment in the Caribbean😜 Now the other side of Cruising kicks in…Cleaning, Maintenance, Repairing, & Enhancements(Maybe)…Continue to Stay Safe and Enjoy 😎
Cheers Steven, we are loving the Caribbean! There is definitely some enhancements on their way 😊
What an achievement, Congratulations 👍👍
Cheers Paul!
it's a massive achievement , well done.
Thanks 🙏
Bloody fantastic you've actually achieved your dream of kissing the Dock in the Caribbean l did the same thing when l was 18 the only difference is it was my first trip to sea in the Merchant Navy and l arrived on Oriana. So well done you two for achieving it all on your own bloody doing it 😎😎😎
Cheers John! I imagine it was much the same feeling that we had 😊

Congratulations! 🎉
Thank you so much 😀
the beginning of this video is magic. it really captures that feeling when you get to a new place for the first time, you're tired but you can't sleep and you want to get up and see whats around. love it.
Congratulations! "Jolly good show, old chaps!"
Enjoy the Caribbean! You've "bloody well done it"!
Cheers Rick 😁
Congratulations on the successful crossing ! I bet you didnt think you would be doing that 6 months ago !!
Cheers Robin! We were planning on it, but we both had our doubts at times if we/Teulu would be ready to do it 😅
Well done guys. You bloody doing it 🎉🎉
Cheers Nic!
I was 20 when I sailed into the Caribbean for the first time. It brought back all those feelings and memories. Surreal. Again, congratulations and enjoy.
Cheers James, it was definitely an emotional moment 😌
Ah lovely. Audio was spot on for the video.
Cheers 😊
The editing just keep getting better! The beautiful shots in the opening. Each shot accompanied with a single piano chord is very powerful! Really sets thhe tone for the rest of the episode! Very creative stuff. Congratulations on the crossing & thanx for sharing.
Thanks for the lovely comment, it’s so nice to hear that you think that our episodes are getting better and better 😊 It really means a lot to us ❤️
Love this 🔱🔱💚💙
Thanks 🙏
Not quite as sunny or beautiful as the Gower 😉, Wow you guys have literally come so far, since you early adventures in Wales.
Great to see the channel growing too.
Pob Lwc for the rest of your journey, very jealous.
Ahah the Gower will always be one of our favourite places ❤️ Thank for following along for so long!!
watching your atlantic crossing video has confirmed all my fears 🤣🤣 but also gives me the courage to try it!!! Thank you for sharing.
Haha thats great- it wasn't scary 😊
Your happiness and sense of achievement of having arrived in the Carribean after your first crossing of the Atlantic brought tears to my eyes. I am trying to get there myself one day and feel the same. You bloody dit it!
It must have been such an awesome feeling to get such a warm welcome from the community upon arrival!
SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS!!!! Can't wait to soak up the Caribbean content!
Thanks, hope you enjoy it 😁

Thanks George! It’s hard to believe it’s only been a year 😅
Amazing job guys 🎉🎉🎉 although I was a bit disappointed I didn’t hear a “LAND HO” hahaha

Cheers Paul 😊 Seren, yourself and the rest of your clan are more than welcome to come out to Teulu wherever they want.
Well done you have done so well congratulations to all ❤
Cheers Peter 😁
Congrats on the Atlantic crossing guys ,massive achievement after watching when you first got the boat a year ago Fair Winds and Calm seas !!
You guys are truly an inspiration, although I am only 17 you guys have encouraged me to get a boat when I am older and now I have already started my sailing course!
That means a lot, cheers Bailey 😊 Hopefully we’ll see you in an anchorage or out at sea one day! Fair winds.
La emoción de cruzar el Atlántico se cura cruzando el Pacífico. Enhorabuena!!
Wow, you got to see an FPB (Iceberg). Amazing craft from some amazing old school boat designers.
Johan d Kwikkie greeting you gutsy people, Remember the Lord is with. You all the way. When you believe that you understand that He will guide you the storms! Amen!
through
You're bloody doing it again!! Excellent. ❤🙏
Cheers Steve!
Love your rugged individualism to go for this while young. My wife and I did something similar in our 30s and never regretted it. Cheers
We couldn’t be happier with our choice! No regrets whatsoever 😊

Well done Captain Zach (Sparrow) and crew. A MAJOR achievement.
Cheers 😁
Asome video guys :) In the midst of such a messed up and divided world its wonderful when one of your videos comes out....they are very welcomed indeed!! Thank-you
I’m glad we can provide you with some light relief. Thanks Joe 😊
Love the reaction to Carib prices. Congrats on the crossing.
It was a bit of an initial shock 😅 Cheers!
Living the dream!!!. Would like to sail but cant afford it, funnily enough just watched a vlog from Sailing into Freedom who are giving away their yacht Freedom. Amazing oportunity for someone like me that doesn't have the resources to buy a boat.
That’s an incredible thing to do, what a lovely way to give someone the opportunity to own their own boat 😊
Dreams are now reality! Congratulations.
They sure are 😁
The realness ❤❤❤
A hearty CONGRATULATIONS! An arduous trip, but worth it, IMHO. Enjoy the journeys and the way stops.
What an accomplishment!
Thanks 😊
Antigua!
Congratulations guys!
Thanks Ian!
Congratulations! Quite an accomplishment in less that one year of purchasing Teulu. It has been great following your channel since the beginning of your journey. You will be at 100k of subscribers before you know it.
It’s been a busy year 😅 That’s very kind, we’ll be over the moon when we hit 40k, I don’t know what we’ll do if we hit 100k!
Well done! A lifetime of memories.
Proud of you guys. Massive achievement. Great to see you so happy.
Thank you 🙏
I love Mondays
It’s the new Friday I’ve been told 😉
@@TeuluTribe Brilliant

Isle Of Wight

Cheers Steve, enjoy the binge 😉
Congratulations, that is a massive achievement by all of you.
I hope your friend who pulled out of the crossing doesn't regret it too much. I had the chance to sail across the Pacific in 1985 and am so glad i did it. Now, at 65 years of age I look back and it cost me a job and all my money at the time, but I've had lots of jobs and spending 5 1/2 months was a life altering experience. Well done to you all.
Thanks 🙏 She is a bit gutted, but had to go back for work. I’m sure she’ll join us again! Sounds like you made the right decision, we can’t wait for the pacific!
Absolutely brilliantly done guys, You must be so proud of yourselves. I know, I would be. What an achievement.
Thanks for the support! 😊
@@TeuluTribe Your welcome. I Remember ,when you first started sailing as real novices, and you got upset, when things went wrong,and it was scary for you. You showed your emotions and Someone said,l dont think you are cut out for this. They can eat their words now, and were completely wrong,and should of kept that comment to their self. You showed him girl. Girl power.
It really is the best feeling!
Fabulous video of your arrive in Antiqua after crossing the Atlantic. We can't appreciate how excited all must be after this epic voyage and wish you all the best time ever sailing the Caribbean. Such an unbelievable venture. Enjoy!
Cheers David! We were all very excited to be on land again. However, we are already looking forward to our next big passage 😊
Great job you two. Can't wait to see you sail the illands. Thank you once more for living my dream for me.
Thanks Paul! Hope you enjoy it 😊
Big goal accomplished YAY!! Life's journey is just beginning 🤙❤️
Thanks, more crossing to more 😁

I’ve loved following your journey. Started watching when you were boat shopping. Every episode is better then the last. Keep bloody doing it 🤣
Thanks Lenoro, that means a lot ☺️ We will!
Congratulations on your crossing! Glad to see ya'll safe and sound.
Thank You so much for taking us along on your journey.
Now it is time to explore and injoy life. And who knows maybe you will sail to my island out here in the pacific.
Ok until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii!
P.S. If you do you can stay with us and we can swap Boat stores.
Thanks for following along Bill! Cheers for the offer, we will definitely be sailing by Hawaii at some point 😊
Epic trip guys, congratulations on your arrival safe and sound!!!
Thank Adrian 😊
Well you did it ,good on yah.
Angus
Cheers 😊
You guy’s are a hoot! Congratulations on your crossing…..🎉
Dang. Next to Iceberg, huh? That's probably the safest yacht you'll ever see. It's designed by the Dashews to be a true explorer yacht.
It’s a crazy looking boat, definitely one made for cooler waters!
Congratulations! What an achievement! twenty tough days, but you made it and what an entrance to Antigua. Great stuff. Look forward to the next video.
Thanks Jack! 😊
Congratulations on your first crossing, I'm sure the first of many!
I'm so glad to see you managed to have a halfway swim, one of my finest memories from my own first crossing when I was 18, I and four others sailed a 30m Jongert across for some clients, we had every type of weather you could imagine but the halfway swim was unforgettable, the water was completely still, like a mirror and because we came to a complete stop there were eventually no ripples, nothing at all until we jumped in and much like your reaction, the dark and endless abyss below my feet was a sight I'll never forget, how dark and deep it was from the surface knowing we were just a tiny speck in the middle of the ocean. That was eleven years ago, can hardly believe it sometimes, but incredibly I'm sitting at 14 crossings total now, not all as perfect as the first though ;) Well done!
Thanks for watching! The halfway swim was definitely a highlight for us, sounds like you had an incredible crossing 😊 14 crossings is a massive achievement, I’m sure you’ve seen just about every condition that the Atlantic has to offer. Cheers!
Congratulations on your epic crossing, you guys are amazing. Don’t miss Shirley Heights in Antigua on a Thursday or Sunday i think, great views and steel band and live music - enjoy.
Cheers Stuart! We went to Shirley heights and loved it 😍
🎉well done and congrats on your first crossing 🎉🎉 best of luck.
