- We explore one of sailing’s most sacred stops and leave our mark! We also anchor by drone, feed sting rays stranded in a decaying resort pool, witness the migration of butterflies, avoid military target practice, sail into the Whitsunday's and Pierce turns 8! It’s a jam packed, sailing packed, episode to bring 2021 to a close.
This will be our last episode for 2021 so we can spend time with our family over the holiday season. But don't worry, we will be back in 2022 with more adventures in the Whitsunday’s and beyond!

ABOUT US: We are a family of five sailing around the world on a performance catamaran named "Archer" and sharing our adventures in family-friendly episodes every Tuesday!
OUR ROUTE: We departed the Boston area of the United States and sailed south to the Caribbean and then west through the Panama Canal. We have dealt with massive repairs in the South Pacific, the Coronavirus lock down in New Zealand, a Category 5 Cyclone in Fiji, and now we are cruising in Australia.
OUR PAST: You may remember us as "SV Honeymoon?" Ten years ago ("before kids"), we sailed a Lagoon 380 named Honeymoon halfway around the world to Sydney, Australia. Along the way we shared our experiences via RUclips and, by happenstance, created one of the very first "sailing channels." We also realized what an incredible experience we were having and that someday we wanted to do it again, only this time with kids.

I have never seen butterfly's that large so good.
Seth makes me smile. His love of sailing is obvious and he is proud of his sailing skills and repeats “Its fun, its cool” several times….LOL…His enthusiasm makes me feel good . I like the man and hope his boys learn to love sailing.
I find myself laughing at Seth quite a bit because he so often talks about the speed and performance of Archer - kinda like a teenager boasting of having the fastest car.
Merry Christmas Sailing Family. And a BIG Happy birthday Pierce . Your children are at the age when it is the most fun to do things with, so quickly they grow up. The Best times I've had with my children was when my boy's were 5-12 years of age. At that age You are their hero and the purvier to adventures untold. CHEERS AND FAIR WINDS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS Steve h.
Wow views are beautiful
Happy Birthday Pierce!!!!
You got him a massive zebra? 👏🏼😜🥳
Your boys are the best - good job Mom and Dad !!!
Love your family adventure sorry that my kids are all grown up. You are living the dream so proud of you guys to show your kids the world through sailing. Merry Christmas to you all.
Hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas and New Year
You too!
Good episode! I have followed a large number of cruisers for years and you are the first one that I have seen using their drone to avoid coral reefs of bombs. That is very good thinking. Keep up the great videos.
I swear I'm gonna go sailing some day...in the meanwhile, I'm really happy for many others to be living the dream. Oh yes!
Google sailing in your area. They must have a lake or ocean near by.. If that fails, look for a sailing computer game, it will teach you all the points of sail and beyond.. Good luck ~
Wow your kids are so lucky. Happy birthday 🎂
As always another awesome video. Glad the boys are all having amazing birthdays in their sail boat. Memories that will never be forgotten. Stay safe and looking forward to next episode.❤️❤️
Happy b day Peirce. Hope you had a wonderful day young man...
Another great video, love seeing the new places. When I need a smile, I just re-watch your channel. Love the energy of the boy's.
Happy birthday Pierce! Enjoy your holiday with family!
Always a groovy sailing adventure with you guys. So real, a day in the life look at your personal sailing life. Love it. Stay groovy and stay safe.
Happy Christmas to the Archer crew and have a wonderful 2022, look forward to sharing it with ! 🍾🥂
Million thanks for the videos!!!! Wish you and all awsome family happy holidays!!!
Cant wait for the next one!!!
I am amazed at how Seth and Elizabeth manage Archer with three rambunctious rascals- so impressive! The boys are adorable and seem genuinely thrilled with each new adventure. Happy Holidays to the Sailing Family- thanks for sharing your adventures.
Good video, as always !!! Have a Merry Christmas and wishing you the best in 2022. from France
Красавчики 👍👍👍
Happy birthday Pierce!
Love you guys!!!!!
Great episode. Dad says "this is pretty sketchy"; Pierce "no it's not" and jumps up and down on it! Reminds me of taking cub scouts to CN tower with glass floor 1500 ft up. Adults gently tapping at edge, kids run and jump on it with both feet!
Excellent episode! Thank you.
Love the mark you left 👍🏼❤️
Had to be red. :)
@@TheSailingFamily yes has to be red.
Super video.have a wonderful Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🥰🥰

amazing. pierce looks so happy
Happy Birthday, Pearce! What a beautiful location. One of my dream locations is the Whitsundays. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas break.🎄 See ya in 2022! 🌏
Seth has this competitive edge in him but being in the forefront isn't always advisable. Hey! A little competition is good for the spirit
Thanks guys for sharing your adventures in 2021. Your channel has been a much needed escape & respite from the ups & downs this year has bought. So glad you finally got yo the Whitsundays. It’s magically. See y’all in 2022.
Happy new year!
Great episode guys!

🦋🌺⛵️🌸 Seth you should just buy the island 🌴 and call it home 🏠🌴🌴🏖🏝
From my family to yours we wish you a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic new year 🌸💖🌈🌴
Looking forward to seeing you in 2022 .🍺🍺🍷🍷🇦🇺🇺🇸👍
Osterville!! Have family there. Have spent many of summer weekends there. Dowses Beach all the way!! I live in Mass so always down the CAPE
Happy holidays guys!
Started in the 40’s …..wow 🥳
A Cape Cod Christmas ~ wishing you the best of life, add a little snow to make it perfic ~~
I have found that flying from a moving boat turning off all sensors works better because it does not want to do its own thing. You have full control all the time and you get more flight time with sensors off
Great episode as always. FYI. The native pine trees to the area are Hoop pines. They are very beautiful I think, and its a great pity they wete so heavily logged on the islands to be replaced with non indigenous palm trees just to please our "idea" of how the tropics should look. Yes it naturally looked like the Pacific Northwest, but warmer weather. I remember also being shocked approaching this area for the first time in the 1980's that it did not look how it was sold to everyone on the brochures. ( especially the Whitsundays). Australian developers can never seem to be able embrace the natural beauty of Australia, they want to change it into something else. Anyway its still really gorgeous and looks like you are loving Australia 🇦🇺 💕
I love the birthday enthusiasm. Happy belated 'Eights' Pierce. It's gonna be the best year of your life! Hey, you almost did lose that drone. I have the same one - and several other DJI copters. It is always better to hand launch in that situation. I'm actually surprised you did not get magnetic compass interference by launching off the solar panels, buy yeah, practice hand launching a time or two on dry land, and you'll find it's a snap - almost like they were designed for it actually. None of my copters have ever made contact with Terra Firma. For me - a land dweller - it's about keeping dust and whatnot at a minimum, while for you, it's about not losing the drone. Otherwise, great flying by the way!
Thank you, great video, always enjoys wathching you guys. Cheers from a Canadian living in Thailand.
Thanks for watching!
Greeting from denmark , another lovely video and wish all you nice people a MERRY CHRISTMAS :)
Same to you!
20 mill that’s cheep. I found that in the back of the sofa… 😜😂🤣
Well, well, well, we'll miss you guys when you're on "vacation!" Still, it's been great to see your travels as they unfurl. Great use of the drone to guide yourself into the bay. I'm surprised that nobody has uploaded a video where they used a submersible drone to "dive" on the anchor. You might want to look into that as you get up north in the crocodile infested waters. See you guys in 2022!!
Wow, how friendly are those birds? Wonderful
Rainbow lorikeet’s are very friendly to muffins. 🌈 🦜 🧁 ❤️
@@FairleyTrashed me too🤣😂😝
Very cool I've been to Hamilton Island and loved it i all so sailed there on a 🐈
Thanks for sharing in 2021 Seth & Eliz - Looking forward to 2022. Stay Safe and enjoy the Aussie Hot Xmas! Put a Scampi on the BBQ!
Thanks, you too!
"See you next month"?!?!?!?!?! What am I going to do with with my Tuesdays for the next 3 weeks? 🤪
hahah Seth you so planned leaving late so you could chase em down :) Cause thats what i would have don lol
Hamilton Island was actually first bought and built by Keith Williams when i worked there he was still there and he had a amazing Motorbike collection
Great episode once again and I belive you should of Sailed back into Sydney today ??
Hill Inlet cant wait so wanted to take our Bareboat 40ft Lagoon in there but we werent aloud lol
Another great episode, thank you. How cool would it be to draw a track on your drone controller screen whilst you are flying the drone overhead and have it download onto your boats Navi / autohelm system! The boat then follows that track. DJI and the big three or four marine electronics makers should collaborate on that one. Are you listening B&G? DroneHelm!
That would be cool!
wow at this rate you will be needing another larger boat or a towable toy shed lol .
keep an eye open for crocs now
The Basics of Australia. Everything is big.

Are you having FUN yet?
The baby photo bomb😂
Those boys are sure keeping the tooth fairy busy.
Missed E and the kids by minutes near my place 2 weeks ago. E was doing yoga while the boys were on the jumping pillow, so I didn't interrupt.
Raced home on my bike to get a jar of Christmas Mango Chutney I'd just made for gifts. Got back too late, saw you in the tender. Oh well, second time I'd missed you. Merry Christmas see ya in 2022😁🧑🎄🇦🇺🥭🎄🎆
Oh no! You should say hi. We love meeting locals! Merry Christmas! Seth
Happy wife happy life as they say
That’s the Monarch Butterfly migration, I think 🤔...
I love your stuff, not sure who told you Oatley developed Hamilton Island (perhaps just beause it fitted the narrative :) ). It was bought originally by a guy called Keith Williams in the 70s. He did pretty well all of the development (marina, Resort you are sitting in, Airport, infrasture etc etc) in the 80s and 90s. Bob Oatley bought it in 2003 and has developed things further like adding a golf course on Dent Island, however very little of what you actually see Oatleys developed. Areas like the main resort amazingly havent seen much love since Williams. Just saying. BTW, its our favourite place in the Whitsundays.
Two or more boats going the same direction = a race
Saw Archer in the background at sail GP coverage final race interviews
Hi Seth, Liz and boys. You do get around. Saw you today. Enjoy your trip. Might try to catch up tomorrow.
Dale
Such an amazing comment. Thank you for your contribution! 👍
Sounds good!
@@TheSailingFamily Say around 1:30-2:00pm. Do you like mangoes?
Hi Seth,
Sorry we missed you. Have a great day. Might see you again some time.
Dale
Haven’t heard anything from the sailing family. Pray things are ok.
We're all good!
@@TheSailingFamily Glad to hear 😃
No repercussions from the eruption near tonga?
Hello there sailing kiwis hope you're doing good there looks like you're having a blast happy birthday to the young man and I love you have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year coming up God bless all of you and be safe and that Island look pretty cool I had the money I wouldn't mind owning that anyways enjoy your holidays whoever you're at watching from Roseville California USA Ray Garrett and it's raining here a lot the last few days next week it'll be raining too
Hey guys, we're American!
If cruisers took the plastic beach wreck eye sores, and melted it down with a hot metal grill they could make letters, and signs, or art work that would last , and be beautiful. Also bird baths. and bird houses. I saw a man making bar stool tops out of bottle caps on the internet, and another man was making colorful bowls that gave me the idea. These camps could be every where.
Great episode but we all know your secret... Archer is painted red for a reason.. everyone knows red goes faster!! :) hehe 👍👍
That's true!
You need to paint a plank with Archer on it in red. You gotta do it to leave your mark
Looks like their boat is for sale. Hope the journey's not over for them.
The journey is never over!
Keith Williams who also started Sea World on the Gold Coast set Hammo up before Robert Oatley acquired it.
I would buy that island and live there isolated from everyone
Was that a cameo appearance on the SailGP coverage of a certain red boat …? Hope you enjoyed some exciting racing.
Yes it was! We love that!
Smart use of the drone, but a lesson to better prepare.
Very true.
Hi sad to see you go....i'm 70 and a little late for to venture out like all of you have done. Something i would like to know is why the boating industry often hides their prices. They should have a packaged complete boat. I'm wanting a monohull or catamaran or trimaran. reasonable docking is very hard to find here and after hurricane Michael destroyed most all the boats. I can't travel much on a boat i cannot sleep traveling in any kind of mode really. Docking will decide for me the sailboat i end up with. i hope to afford a condo or house with deep water dock and then my last years i can get sailors to take me with the on my sailboat or theirs. I sold my boat just before the hurricane so i hope to get back into sailing.
You heading to or in New Zealand? I hope I win the lottery, then I could buy a boat exactly like yours.
Keith Williams built the resort and the harbour and really kicked off the tourism in the area.
Filmed in June, no wonder it was cold.
We are now a few weeks into summer but due to it being a "la nina" year it is wetter and cooler than normal. I suppose nature has to make up for the extreme heat and bush fires of 2019-20 somehow :)
Haven’t heard from you guys in a few weeks. Hope you’re all ok.
Hey didn’t you guys spend some time in Tonga? Any updates on the communities you spent time with?
No, we did not visit Tonga on this trip. We hope they are all safe.
