Once again, you two rocked it. Thanks for picking up the trash.
Thanks, MA Yandle! Happy you are enjoying our videos! 🤩
Great work guys, and setting the good example as conscientious cruisers👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻...
God Bless🙏🏻⛵🕊
Hey One Life. Great video content. Very sorry about your drone taking a salt bath. The underwater video was awesome. Cool ole ship wreck. Clear blue water 👍. Thanks for your efforts in helping clean up the plastic. I’ve taken on a new appreciation for reusable containers and such since subscribing to your channel. Thank you!!! Carrying a half gallon Yeti thermos full of clear refreshing ice water from the tap...ALL THE TIME. Cheers...👍🇺🇸😎...
Hey B Trent! 😎 Yeah super bummer about the drone but we've got a new one heading our way. It should arrive in Panama any time now! Love that you use your yeti with tap water! So good to hear! The shipwreck was very cool and rusty! Haha cheers for now! 🍻
Quickly has become my favorite channel. Keep it up, and thanks for bringing us along.
I enjoy Brooke's voice over detailed explanations of the video content. 6 mpg in a boat is really good. The underwater footage and Gary climbing the mast. was a decent substitute for drone footage. Take care you two.
Thanks Mike! Happy to hear you like the voiceover. Good news, we have a new drone on the way! Hopefully we will have more drone shots for you soon.
Awesome video, beautiful views. Drinking coffee ☕️ from a straw 🤔🤣
Hahaha the straw came with the lid!.... Thanks for pointing that out! 🤣
This ferry used to be the grand manan 4 , it was a great boat we sure miss her ❤️
Ah how cool!! Thanks for the comment!
Yeah, I used to take that boat every summer to see my grandparents.
Loving your videos! Watched a few recent ones, and now watching from the beginning. Great content, you should have way more followers! Keep up the great work 👌
Hey Darryl! So happy to hear you are enjoying our videos! Thanks for coming along with us!
Kind of cool to see you two exploring the same wreck as RUclipsr "Sailing Into Freedom" at around the same time. They met with the locals and found out that the currents bring in trash from every direction far away. The locals pick up as much of it as they can and I am sure they appreciate your help.
Ah interesting that definitely makes sense about the currents. We actually met Pluckey! What a cool dude!

Awesome video, See ya all Next week. be safe.
Thank you, Gibb! We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🍻
@@SailingOneLife Thank You, Back at you. :)
Panama is an amazing country! Have fun there exploring.
We love it here! So far we've only been in the San Blas area but we are looking forward to exploring the mainland as well!

I really love your channel, I’ve learned a ton since I started watching it. Just a comment on the Panama situation. I’ve been to Panama a number of times and my daughter actually lived there for several years. I found the trash problem to be alarming. Littering does not seem to be something that is enforced or even really thought about, and I’ve seen the results of that everywhere. I hope that they begin to affect some change in terms of that. It is such a beautiful country 🇵🇦
Hi Morna! Thank you! Very cool that your daughter used to live in Panama. We see our trash problem everywhere but Panama has been an extreme example of how bad it is. 😥
I lived in Panama in 1995- 1996 and visited the Sab Blas Islands for a long holiday over the New Year and there was a lot of trash in the water then. Some of which I was told sort of drifted there with current and would come from shore during the rainy season. Trash was much worse in Bocas del Torro.
try sailing through the Norwegian fjords. Absolutely spectacular by boat!!!
Unlimited 3G data..WOW..3G. LOL, we have faster data over here in the Middle East where I'm deployed. Just a fun poke, that that area ought to have 4G by now. Also, I noticed in one of your shots that you moved the boom out of the way of your solar !. Good for you. You would not believe how many channels I watch where they are at anchor and have there boom casting shadows on their panels. Great video guys !
There is some 4G coverage around here, but service is very spotty out in the islands. Sometimes it's nice to have no data service at all, forces us to disconnect from the digital world and really soak in what's around us. Where are you deployed to currently?
Even the slightest bit of shading makes a huge difference in solar production. Tedious work moving the boom side to side as the sun and boat moves, but worth the effort!
@@SailingOneLife , Kuwait 🇰🇼 , with jumps up north when needed 😎
I love the adventures you both have, and it was really good that you picked up rubbish in the ocean. I'm thinking it's a combination of what you said, and perhaps from cruise ships too?
Hi Di! Thank you! It is so sad to see all the trash everywhere. We honestly didn't realize how bad the plastic issue is until we started sailing. So heart breaking to see.
Looks to be a Caribbean whiptail stingray. Nice find!
Ah cool! Thanks! We can't remember seeing one of these in the Eastern Caribbean.
@@SailingOneLife According to the fish book, uncommon other than a few pockets around Cuba and Utila. I'm jealous!
@@drydoc5778 What fish book do you have? We have one but this guy wasn't in there and of course we didn't have wifi to look it up at the time. We are looking to purchase a new book, any suggestions?
Love y’all!! Are y’all so amazing!!! Keep living everyone’s dream! Have fun you cool kids lol
Thanks, Georgia Airborne! 😎🤙
You guys are awesome love your Chanel
Thank you so much, Saemi! We appreciate you following our adventures out here!
Losing a drone seems to be a common problem of operating a drone from a boat. Sailing Ruby Rose in Australia also just talked about losing a drone to the sea.
Hey George! Yes, unfortunately losing a drone out here is just part of it. We have a new one on the way! Just not sure when it will get here but maybe in a couple weeks!
Dude, you guys filmed UAPs!!!
Watch closely 1:12 - 1:35
Orb lights Flying in v formation
Holy Shit
Oh weird! 😲
Hopefully not intentional dumping or littering, Amazing how much recycling blows around in our neighbourhoods after being put out for pick up, most people mean well i think and do as well as they can, well done on being part of the solution and filling a bag!
Hey John! Yeah I would certainly hope no one does it intentionally. I think there is just so much of it around and no where for it to go in these remote places. So like you said, storm comes and it blows out and ends up all over the place. Such a shame. I guess all we can do is our best and pick up whenever we can. Thank you for commenting and watching!
Safe sailing
Thank you, Danie! ⛵
You might enjoy stories that Jim Brown, the creator of the original SeaRunner trimarans tells of his trips including with his wife to the San Blas Islands and Rio Dulce way back before they were well known to cruisers. He's got tons of great stories as podcasts on the outrig media website. Very enjoyable hearing his tales about sailing and multihulls.
Ah cool, we will have to check some of those out!
Some People Believe, especially the Natives that Everything has .a wait for it a ( Lifeforce)!! A Living Entity as it were!! The Ocean and Everything in it will Love for Respecting. It and removing the Trash!! Water they can set on Fire and everything is Vibration and Resonance!! I Subscribed!! Dean( Soul) Toronto
Hey Dean! Thanks for subscribing and the comment! We hate seeing all the trash out here. We try to pick up as much as we can but in some places it is just everywhere! And there's no place for it to go. 😭
Would love to see what it takes to check into different countries can you video that for us
Ah good idea! We will work on this one! Thank you!
always enjoy your content. seems like all the sailing channels lose drones and man that has to sting.
Yeah definitely a risk we take flying from a moving object!
Great job with the clean up effort. Sailing channel " Breaking Waves sailing " has a huge clean up going in BC. Channel " Four Sheets to the Wind" also had a very nice episode of their beach clean up. Hope you get a chance to check those channels out. Sorry for the long post, but it's cool that you ran into Plukky. Have fun guys
Hey Dane! Sweet, we will have to check those channels out. Love a good beach cleanup! 🤩 yeah it was super cool to run into Plucky and we also met James from Zingaro! 🤙Two cool dudes and their crew!
Hopefully you got to meet Colin and the Parlay crew while at Linton?
We had a brief convo at the Linton Bay bar but unfortunately we were heading out and didn't get to really chat much. But we will hopefully be seeing each other again on the Pacific side!
I’ve got a new ( for now ) nickname for Gary as I watch this episode…
Captain Brown Beard-Wisker Pole … I’m sorry, not sorry… just had to 🤙🏼🤪
Oh that's a good one! 😜
Sorry you lost your drone, I think it's part of the course for the epic footage that is always going to happen eventually. Good on you for collecting some ocean trash and highlighting it being so bad these days. I don't think its any one particular group of people just simply people who are only just starting to learn about the impact we are all having on the oceans.
Hi Ian! Yep, definitely a risk we take flying the drone out here. Good news is our new one is on its way! Hopefully we will have it in the next couple weeks! You are absolutely right, we are all just starting to learn what the impact is on our planet. Unfortunately, everything comes in plastic so it's hard to avoid using it. Anyway! Thanks for following our journey out here!
You should stop in and see sailing parlay boys they are in lynton bay with there boat in the boat yard
Hey Troy! We actually just met James (Sailing Zingaro) & Pluckey (Sailing into Freedom). We are headed to Linton Bay in a couple weeks to pick up some friends flying in so maybe we will meet Parlay as well!
Me and some friends are thinking pf going there in mid November do you guys think the weather will be ok then?
Hey John! November is rainy season in the San Blas Islands. We were there in November and it rained non stop for a straight week. 😬 The lightening is also pretty intense. Just our personal experience.
00:57 Is that Colin and David I see in the background?
Hey Chris! Yep sure is! Both their boats were there while we were. Unfortunately neither of them were there at the time so we didn't get to meet them.
Thats pretty good price for unlimited data. Was there a hotspot restriction on that like they have in the US or not? I only seen that in the USA.
I dont think the trash comes from the sailing community. Usually, cruisers care about the nature they want to experiance. However there is a lot of people that dont know better that drop trash wherever they go.
It's a great price for data! One of the cheapest we've come across! We agree, we don't believe the trash comes from the sailing community. Since this video we've done a bit of research on the trash problem in Panama. Seems it's a little bit of a mix between a poorly run government and people just not caring or understanding the consequences.
Can you tell me what kind of camera equipment you use planning on leaving this year hopefully from Puget Sound Washington saline Misfits are 50 ft motorsailer
We use our GoPro's for the majority of our filming. We left with a HERO8 but just got a new HERO10 too. We also have a Canon 800D that we use for vlogging and wildlife shots. The drone is a Mavic Air (the original one.) We don't have anything extraordinarily fancy or expensive, but it gets the job done! Maybe we will run into you on the Pacific side next year!
Great video as usual. Unfortunately, the trash issue, is mainly due to two factors: Lazy sailors and dishonest locals. You will experience locals rowing their balsas over your boat, offering fruits, fish and even clothing for sale. While this is perfectly normal, most of these merchants will also offer to dispose of your trash for a minimal fee, usually a couple of bucks. While it may seem convenient, what truly happens is that they will carry your trash away and illegally dump it in one of the many small, uninhibited islands within the vicinity. It's the fastest way to make a buck. This has become a major problem for Panama . You will see trash floating after every rain storm. It sucks.
Thanks, Sal! Ugh it's so sad but you are right most 'boat guys' willing to take your trash for a couple bucks just dump it somewhere. 😭😭
@sailonelife Hi guys I happened on your channel and I am now this far into all episodes. I would like to request something. I am hard of hearing and when gary was explaining what happened to the drone I couldn't make out what he was saying because the background music was so loud. Love the channel, I grew up sailing on my dad's boats. When I was 12 I single handed a Vangaurd 33 from Marina Del Rey to Catalina Island (Aprox 37 mi crossing) and that was a huge thing for me at that time. Keep up the great adventures, I am very jealous! Dane E.
Thank you, Dane! We are working on our audio and music, etc. Hopefully you notice a bit of difference as you continue watching our channel. We appreciate your feedback!
Good for you picking up trash
Thanks Tom! Unfortunately there's so much of it out here I'm not sure our tiny efforts even put a dent in it. But better than nothing!
GARY, IM CURIOUS HOW DID YOUR VOICE CHANGE TO NOW HAVE THIS SEXY, ROUGH, TONY ROBBINS VOICE? 😉
The secret everyone wants to know!
It's such a shame that there is so much plastic floating in the oceans.
We know....so sad. We never realized how big of a problem it actually is until we saw it with our own eyes. :(
