I totally agree with the other commentators - I admit I watch a number of RUclips sailing channels (probably too much) - yours is one of the best - Bravo Zulu - keep them coming.
I've figured out what is so unique about this sailing channel. Everything feels boat age and era correct. Captain and First Mate have magically become a couple in a home movie being shot in the 1950s or early 60's. Very moving, and a little mysterious how you two get into the character of the boat.
Just love this channel! Cannot seem to get enough of Julia under sail. Every aspect of this video is so well done. I can just feel the enjoyment of you both and the excitement if every new discovery! Sail on! I for one will be waiting!
I very much enjoy your videos for their authenticity, as it is a welcome change from glitz and battery discussions. Keep her so and enjoy your time on a fine old boat. Fair winds.
Thank you for posting always look forward to them that has to be one of the most beautiful boats I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. Fair winds and following seas
This has to be the best sailing/cruising RUclips channel. I think by not posting heaps of videos you keep us wanting more. And of course there's the boat too. Years ago there was a UK couple cruising the world with an engineless Falmouth Quay Punt built in the late 1800's called Curlew. They always referred to the 3 of them, the third being 'Curlew'. They spent their last few cruising years in Antarctic waters. Tim and Pauline Carr. I think you 2 are the next Tim and Pauline...... when your engine dies!! Beware of having kids. We had only 1 and he never went to school, he hated boat life but now in his 30's he appreciates his sailing years and he turned out to be a very worldly young man. Thanks again. I turn 80 this year and still sail solo offshore.
Julia is such a fine vessel! I would love to hear something of her origins. Can’t wait for the next episode. When you do the work of voyaging the rewards are great. Thanks.
I'm always waiting patiently for the next episode, and it's always a pleasure to watch. Thanks for taking me to all the wonderful places. Wish you a safe and pleasant journey. ❤
Hey guys. Your traditional wooden boat looks so amazing and at home in Fijian waters, You clearly spend some time up the spars recoating them, not many wooden spars still have varnish on them as long as you have been sailing. What an amazing story and so nice that you are doing this while you are still young. Keep having fun. J&J
I think its more enjoyable the way you post... no hurries no worries. I had an Atkin Eric and truly loved her. Now on a 50ft cat as we charter. Thank you for posting when and as you do... All the best and looking forward..😊😊
Your videos of your travels are amazing! All the sailing books I read as a child and even now as an adult come to life in your videos. Thank You for sharing and Whitney's smile is infectious.
Hello, I'm from Bahia-Brazil, and I've been following your vlog since they you were sailing off the coast of the United States, each episode has been very enjoyable. Here in Bahia we also plant cocoa and produce artisanal chocolate on our farm. If one day the good winds of this trip take the S/V Julia close to the coast of Abrolhos and Caravelas in Bahia, it will be an honor to show the place. Many blessings!
The Abrolhos are also off the west coast of Western Australia, the state being part of the nation of Australia. (i.e. unlike the US which has no nation). Believe it is Portuguese for "watch out" We also had great respect for the Dutch who discovered the country long before our English ancestors.
@@humblestever24 Exactly my friend, Abrolhos means in Portuguese, "open your eyes", because the archipelago was hidden by waves and fog during the navigation to discover the coast of Brazil. However, currently, boaters passing through the area, thanks to new navigation technologies, only need to open their eyes to the beauty of the region. The SV DELOS channel has an episode showing Abrolhos in Brazil!
@@humblestever24 Another vlog about Abrolhos (this time in Portuguese + Subtitles) about Abrolhos, made by a Brazilian sailing channel, excellent content. (...) ruclips.net/video/CyIhC0iitZM/видео.htmlsi=F7GTpGdjF4_0KeS-
Woo hoo, another video. I first found your channel when you were in San Francisco and ended up binge watching all of them. Love the way you put your videos together. I'm in Snohomish County, WA and plan on building a Cyber 48 to sail around the world. I think that my favorite spot will end up being where your at now in the South Pacific but who knows, I haven't seen it before with my own eye's yet. You should get some spear fishing equipment. It's amazing how you made all of your brass fittings yourself.
Thank you for another cinematic tropical adventure! I watch several other sailing channels on RUclips and your channel is arguably the best. You’re so underrated. May I ask why no patron page or ways to give? Wouldn’t that help out and enable you guys to get out more videos? I could watch your videos on a nightly basis. You guys really showcase the land and the people, not adding in any drama or hype, that I really appreciate and think is one of the things that sets your channel apart from the others out there. Keep living the dream!
@@humblestever24 unless you pay for ad free RUclips it’s still free. The money is like a donation to the content provider. It’s not that you are mandated to pay RUclips to watch their videos.
@@molassescricket6663 Very true. Except Americans once longed to be free of money and donations. And I would question how free Y'tube is. How about you? No answer required.
@@humblestever24 well we do have to pay for the internet connection. We have to buy the device. But at least we’re not paying for the content. Otherwise I agree, not much in life is free these days. My point is though that these guys make great videos, and if donations would help them to get more out, we would all get more enjoyment. And I for one am all for that!
So beautiful. As I think I've mentioned before, when I come from watching other sailing channel videos and watch one of yours, it's as if I've stepped out of the frantic activity of a house party, and into the quiet beauty of nature in all it's glory. You three, and now you two, do that for us. We appreciate it a lot, so thanks for sharing your journey in your own special way. 🙏🏼
As I catch up with your videos, I'm always amazed at the quality. Thank you for your supreme effort in making these and for sharing. Stay safe and happy sailing to you.....
So jealous, that's a beautiful boat, the destinations are magic but the time spent sailing to them must for the most part put a big silly grin on your faces?
EXCELLENT Video as Always, in ALL areas.✅ Probably our favorite one of all the sailing channels we watch. We imagine you would have 200-400,000 subscribers if you posted more often…!!!
Ahoy! We have been eagerly awaiting your next salty travelogue. Saving it for a bit later in the day cuz its cold and snowy her in PNW, and I have to get in some extra firewood. Thank you.
Made my day to see your latest posting of your continuing adventures! Brilliant work framing your journey. I was hoping that the next installment was coming soon and here it is!
Yowzaa I must be old. I traveled from Suva on the local ferry to Taveuni via Savusavu in 1986! That boat was awful but my visit with the Fijians is full of wonderful memories, arriving in Nandi airport to yet another coup with the scariest looking but nicest military guys with AK47's you'll ever see, of drinking kava in a circle well into the night with the island of Baga just offshore, even dancing in a Disco (yep!) in Suva with a Fijian woman maybe a foot taller than myself. Priceless. I enjoy your adventures immensely. Thank you for taking us along and sharing the memories you too are now making. 🙏 Namaste
I really enjoy watching your episodes and look forward to the next one. Continued safe travels and will wait patiently for your next chapter of you travels.
Your videos and narration are superb. Thank you. About 1980 my wife and I sailed to NE Fiji via all the places you shared in this video. We were on the way north via Kiribati and Tuvalu, as you might be. If you go that way, Nukufetau and Nanumea are beautiful, very friendly, and rarely visited. Be careful in the pass at Nanumea!
Just found your channel. Very excited to find another Atkins wooden boat. I have helped, as a volunteer, build Arabella in MA with Steve and crew (Acorn to Arabella) Look forward to your future adventures on a very cool boat! Cheers, Bill from Boston.
Thank you for the wonderful videos. I tend to cringe every time you raise of lower a sail while not pointing into the wind. It looks like it works for you though.
I've been waiting months for this your channel is seriously underrated thank you for taking the time to document and share your experiences with us
Ditto
Same here from Whidbey Island
I totally agree with the other commentators - I admit I watch a number of RUclips sailing channels (probably too much) - yours is one of the best - Bravo Zulu - keep them coming.
Bravo Zulu - the naval phonetic for the letters B Z - it was a naval flag order that indicates “Job well done.”
Thank you - again - from Finland also. Agree other that your channel is that what I like to watch.
I've figured out what is so unique about this sailing channel. Everything feels boat age and era correct. Captain and First Mate have magically become a couple in a home movie being shot in the 1950s or early 60's. Very moving, and a little mysterious how you two get into the character of the boat.
Love the flow of your videos. Colors, waves, sunsets...all beautiful. Also enjoy the respect you have for the places and people while sailing.
Absolutely. The colours and shapes of the ocean and clouds are unbelievably beautiful and even our fellow humans don't look too bad. :)
Just love this channel! Cannot seem to get enough of Julia under sail. Every aspect of this video is so well done. I can just feel the enjoyment of you both and the excitement if every new discovery! Sail on! I for one will be waiting!

Don't want following seas. Not with my new club med aft.
Beautiful places, and you are so gentle and peaceful people, its a pleasure!!!! Thanks!!!

The best channel out there . A hard working couple ful filling their dreams . Beautiful People.
Happy to see your new video. Enjoy and blessings !

Thanks again for the efforts made to share your adventure. Great cinematography and narration as always and a gorgeous boat.
Do you only "Heart" praise rather than interesting comments or is it just the "Algorithm"
A Fan.
Always love watching your quality sailing episodes
So happy to watch a new video. I confess I watch the earlier ones over and over. So refreshing

I feel as if I am in a dream watching your amazing videos. Can’t wait for the next, and like everyone else, wish we were sailing with you!
Magnificent!
I love to see cruising as I lived it. A classic boat with beautiful lines and a rowing dinghy.
Thanks for the memories.

Best sailing channel by far (I appreciate the family friendly content).
Many sailing channels have tanked the more money they make on RUclips. SO thank you for your continued authenticity!
Once again, thank you so much. It‘s great to be on the trip with you. Wondering, what‘s coming next. Happy journey!
