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
I am so thrilled that you shared your adventure with us. I've enjoyed sailing all my life .. met my once wife of 30 years on a schooner vacation sailing Maine USA Penibscor Bay with hundreds of islands. I have never done what you are doing and I am 70 and fighting stage four cancer but I have had this last wish to sail the Atlantic on a 360' beautiful sailing vessel that departs Spain Nov 1st and stops in Gibraltar and Moraco and the Canaries four nights and the a 14 night sail to the Caribbeanm . 170 passengers and 70 crew and it just sounds so epic to do for my kids to remember their dad by... For Life is an Adventure... so GO LIVE IT right ?!!! I hope I can be healthy enough to do it. Not for the partying but for the wonder of Nature at its most beautiful are raw. Thank you All for your inspiration as I've seen many pond crossings on RUclips but yours was one of the best.😊
Thanks for watching Bill. What an incredible way to meet your wife! I’m sorry to hear that, I hope that you have an great time during your trip and it’s as beautiful and memorable as you hope it to be 😊 You’re too kind!!
Cheer's Bill, my son is 39 and has terminal colon/liver cancer. He get's mad when he sees old people as he will never be old. I hope you had a good life.
😊😊😊😊
@@salembeeman370 Look into hydrogen peroxide therapy.
Hey Bill, you need to fast. No food for at least 10 days. Cancer needs sugar to survive!!! Also start taking Vitamin B17, do coffee enemas multiple times each day to help your liver get stronger. B17 is not legal in the US, but you can get it from Mexico. DO NOT GIVE UP! My mom survived stage 4 ovarian cancer 6+ yrs ago!
Brilliant accomplishment! Love the shanty and Sonja's singing was a lovely addition. 😄
Thank you so much! Glad you loved it 😁
What's the shanty? Please and thank you.
@@imcja2 The shanty was the song that Sonja sang at the beginning of the video. 😃
Rollin’ down to old Maui
Me … didn’t like it so much. Had to fast forward past the intro song or delete the video. Good that I was successful with the fast forward.
The last time I watched your channel you were going out on your first sail. And here you are less than a year later you have crossed the Atlantic! I’ve been sailing 55 years and I must say I’m really impressed how far you have come so quickly.
Had shivers when becka was reading the poem of her Mom. Truely an inspiration what you are doing and a reminder how wonderful life on this beautiful planet can be. Thank you guys!
Yep, I actually teared up
She is a lovely poet! Thanks 🙏
@@TeuluTribe
Hi,
Fascinated by your experience and the poem at the beginning of the video is so melancholic and beautiful. What is the title of the poem and where can I find the words please?💚🙏
Had
What an amazing achievement, congratulations. I also loved Sonja's vocals, and the reading of that wonderful poem. You all are truly inspirational.
Beautiful song at the beginning!
Absolutely stellar! Fantastic for you all. Great wisdom and enthralling videography. Keep this channel going folks
I can not tell you how I feel, so elated for you, almost tearful. How long have you owned a boat, not one year and here you are. Zac and Becks you are amazing and me, an old man is so envious. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thanks Michael! We have owned her for just over a year now. You’re too kind x ☺️
What a treat! One hour of Amy and Rory and Teulu TARDIS on a passage!! With friends!!!! Reef early and often indeed…
Seriously so happy for you living the dream- you inspire me…I am 66 and will be looking at a cruising sailboat this month. Hope to be out there in the next few years on my own little Teulu. God bless you for your brave adventure. ❤🎉
Hi Gary 😊 Glad you liked the longer episode of the Tardis adventures haha! I hope the viewing goes well and that we see you out on the water in the next few years!
from novices to ocean sailors in less than a year - simply awesome and what an inspiration. Brilliant video too. Someone else has already said it, but your filming of the ocean was so much better that most vloggers manage. You’ve bloody done it!
That means a lot, thank you ☺️
Movies
Loved this longer vlog. So amazing. Ive watchd lots of channels do their crossings but yours just got me emotionally so amazing
Such an exciting adventure!!! Good on you both for having so much courage!
Oh my gosh, that performance of old maui was beautiful! Gave me goosebumps
Glad you liked it Nathan!
May God grant you success, God willing
Fantastic, so pleased for you. It seems like only yesterday that you were getting used to sailing Teulu in coastal waters, and making numerous improvements to just about every aspect of her and its culminated ( for now ! ) with an Atlantic crossing ! Again, really pleased for you.
Cheers 😊 It’s crazy isn’t it, it’s hard to believe it’s been a year now!
WOW WOW WOW that was amazing, great footage great crew and you made it well done
WOW, you guys I have the highest respect for what you have taken on. INCREDIBLE
Well you bloody did it. Awesome achievement, awesome video you have come such a long way in such a short time. I have seen a lot of videos, but you guys have really captured the essence of long distance offshore sailing, keep living the dream, and well done.
Thanks Mark! It’s nice to know you think that 😊
Outstanding!
Your Mother's poem touched the heart. The music was wonderful.
You two are on your way to becoming "Old Salts" as the sea becomes part of your souls.
So proud of you guys!
Glad you enjoyed it David! Thanks for the kind words 😊
I love watching family and friends do trips like these over the seas and oceans I've always wanted to do trip like these with my family just work to hard and don't have the means to do it so thank you all for your videos
Bravo, Bravo, well done
So Courageous for your young beautiful crew. A lifetime of memories. 🙏🏼
Wow, another great one. Your transitioning from one scene to another is getting way better! AND HEY, your gonna LOVE the Caribbean. Totally going to be life changing!!!
Thanks so much Scottie 😀
Congratulations and thank you for sharing. One of the most authentic and real Atlantic crossing videos I've seen (and I've watched a lot).
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed!
One of my favorite utube passages yet, and I have watched heaps! When I find videos that bring me pack to passages I made decades ago I count it a winner! Well done gang and thank you all.
Such an awesome watch!! Sat though all of it hooked.. Feels a lot more genuine/connecting than other channels... subscribed!!
Killin it guys! Hope you’re enjoying this side of the Atlantic. Keep crushing 🎉
Thank you Mike! We are loving it 😁
Muy bien estupendo
@@TeuluTribedear teulu tribe
could you provide us with the soundtrack of this video this is jus great
Killin
Greetings from Germany. Congratulations on this ocean crossing. The accompanying music was spirtual and your mother's poem was pure love. You were innocent children before the crossing. Now I don't think there will be any more tears when the wind pipes up to 25 knots. Looking forward to further adventures.
I’m glad you liked the music and the poem, I think our tolerance for wind has definitely gotten bigger 😅 Cheers!
Only 25 Kts ?? Mmmmmm !
Loved this. Was bored of scrolling and happened to stumble upon this, was late but had to watch til the end. What an adventure and looks like a fun crew to do it with. Thank-you for sharing
Fantastic❤❤ I've enjoyed sailing all my life ..beautiful sailing 💙Thank you guys!
What an episode! Sonia’s singing was great, your true comments along the way about ups and downs, and also your choice of music framed the whole episode. It’s inspiring that you have come so far in such a rather short time (since you got the boat I mean). My boat is being prepared and I hope one day to set off. Apart from some practicalities, being healthy and having at least some savings, it’s most of all a question of making up your mind. You did, and look at you!
I’m glad you liked it so much, Becka spent more time editing this episode than any other episode! Fair winds for your upcoming adventures, maybe one day we’ll see you in an anchorage or out at sea 😊
@@TeuluTribe Well she did very well, I could see there was much effort in to the editing 😀. Yes, I hope I will manage to let go of land one day. Am gradually improving the boat, so I hope to succeed! All the best, and fair winds!
Best 54:11 I've spent in a very long time. Thank you for the extra work involved in a video that long. Great luck with the fishing. The squalls, some of us have been in situations where Mother Nature feels the need to humble us. Where we might feel like crying out....time out, I need a break to just catch my breath, to rest. Good job. I know even more about you now. I'm glad I've taken the time to go back in your journey. ❤🙏
Thank you so much, this took a long while to edit. Comments like this make it all worth it! 😊
bloody hell you made it!!! good on you!! absolutely amazing video!! Thank you for sharing and could feel you, when you said, you didn't want it to end... bonkers man, bonkers!! mad respect for you guys!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
This moment when you know you are close and then you spot it. You guys did a great job. Enjoy every moment. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I love the song⚓🔱🪕
sometimes all you need is a 1 hour Atlantic crossing by the teulu crew
Hope you enjoyed it 😁
Terrific job all! What a wonderful crew, too. Thanks for the great video & for regaling us with the ups & downs of the crossing. U all may qualify as the Von Trapp Family Singers, Part 2.😉👍
Really wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing your experience...
About a week ago, I found this amazing channel. After watching an episode, It was clear to me I had to go back and watch your journey from the start. So that is exactly what I did. I watched the build up to getting your new boat. Then all the repairs and upgrades that came along with boat ownership. Your infectious positive attitude and drive to make this a reality kept me glued to the TV. I have loved watching this journey unfold in a rather short amount of time. Seeing the joy sailing and being out on the water brings you is amazing to see. You guys were clearly meant to be doing this. I really can't wait to see where your adventures will take you. Be safe and keep being awesome ! Much love from Vancouver Island Canada.❤️⛵️
Congratulations guys, what a great crew. Much respect. Well done to all. U know your stuff and presentation is the best. Real world stuff. Take my hat off to you in respect. Great job done. I’m in envy 🙏👍
You are very nice peaple, and I am happy to watch this video. Thanks for sharing with us!
That was FUN thanks for the adventure …especially loved the song at the end … truly ending on a high note you had relatively calm seas. Takes a lot of guts to be so far yet you all had other what memories you’ll carry with yourselves forever
Thanks so much for sharing your amazing adventure!
Congratulations!! On the crossing and the brilliant video! So impressed with how you kept on smiling and just dealing with the difficult weather, no wonder you have a bit more confidence in yourselves and the boat now - love that feeling when you just know the boat is looking after you, even if life is pretty uncomfortable. And loved seeing it all in one video (rather than strung out over loads of episodes) - it really gave a sense of the journey. A lovely bit of escapism for those of us stuck on land for now!
Our confidence in Teulu is definitely at an all time high! Glad you liked the longer episode 😊 Thanks for watching!
Your life-ing it so well. Good joy to see your Atlantic crossing. Will try to catch up to with the chapters you have posted. Thank you for posting. Good health to you all!🍀🌎🙏
Cheers George 😁
Yay! Fabulous videos... you've bloody done it!!! Thanks for sharing 😊🌹
Thanks so much Helen! 😊
Just finished watching. Wow, such intrepid souls - never have such sailors been found to face the fraught and find merry. Bravo Zulu.
That was the most difficult crossing of the Atlantic I have seen. A real wake up call. Thank you! ⛵️
Great film, thank you… every trip needs a guitar and a song … well done Sonja!
Outstanding, congratulations to all! Glad you arrived safely. You should be very proud of yourselves for what you've achieved, the video captured the highs and lows wonderfully. Bloody did it!
Thank you Philip! 😁
The character development throughout this series is fascinating and endearing. As is the production value. A trajectory toward the stars!
An awesome video and adventure, many congratulations and thank you.
A great 54 minutes, so proud of you guys, watching the rolling waves and listen to a great choice of music made it all the better, congratulations 🙏🙏
Glad you liked the music, thanks 😊
Brilliant !!! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this . Great music edit and narration👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Congratulations to all four of you wonderful people. Very great achievement and a very nice memory you got you there for a lifetime. Love the hats, very nice!!!!!🤩
Thank you so much! It’s definitely a memory we’ll have forever 😌
Congratulations on your Atlantic crossing. Thank you for not only sharing beautiful and less beautiful pictures with us, but also for sharing your thoughts and feelings. I felt very well entertained. Udo
What a great voice! Love that song
What a beautiful opening song. Congratulations on your crossing. You did it! You bloody Did it!
Thank you so much!! We bloody did 😁
WOW! Amazingly well done documentary of your crossing.
I gotta say if I was going to make that crossing with anyone I would want it to be with you and your crew.
Perfect crew and a job well done.
Wound up here by way of your Worms Head video... The hour... Er, sailed by, sorry couldn't resist. What a video, what an achievement! Congratulations! This was amazing thanks!🙏⛵⚓

Amazing voyage, thanks for all the footage, what a trip. It makes me wonder what adventures you will have in the future.
My first view of your channel. That song at the start...Great! I'll be subscribing!!
Wow! What a journey! This is a dream come true. Wonderful passage. Congratulations. Good winds.
Cheers Jose 😊
Unique crossing as Sonya plays and the crew sings Shanty's aboard Teulu. Epic video, one each aboard should be proud to be part. Fantastic, and hope to view more on your voyage. Thank you for sharing this marvelous crossing.
Thank you David! More Caribbean voyages to come 😊

That means a lot to us! Thanks 🙏
What an amazing achievement. Great video guys and gives a real insight into your crossing and the skills required to “bloody “ do it. Well done. 🎉
Thanks Simon 😁
Absolute respect for an amazing crossing, smashed it! Superbly crafted video from start to finish too . Well done guys!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Anthony 😊
I got a treat when I found you folks. the first thing I noticed about your sailboat is a ketch rig. Way back in the 70s, I bought a new Challenger 35 Ketch, My wife named her "Challenger" as she thought the name was very appropriate. We sailed her all over Lake Ontario and lived on her every year from April 1st till November 1st with our two boys. I was sad in 1994 when I sold her because we moved to the land of shallow water, Florida. I noticed it was quite a while before you hoisted the Mizzen. we loved sailing with our mizzen anytime it was possible. your boat is beautiful. quite a nice seaworthy craft.
I totally enjoyed this journey with you guys! Thank you for filming it!
Our pleasure! 😁
Awesome episode! Loved it...
Your mum's poem was beautiful!
Cheers Mike, glad you loved it ☺️
Your best video. You managed to convey, in some sense, what it's like to make this ocean crossing. It's pretty obvious you put a lot of work into this video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Russ, it was a lot of editing 😅
You guys are killing it, nicely done. Really enjoying your efforts.
Cheers Ed!
Absolutely fantastic! A huge WELL DONE to all crew members on a great crossing. Now more adventures lie ahead and I am eagerly awaiting the next adventure once you get used to dry land. Best wishes to you all from bonnie Scotland 🏴
Thanks for the support John! Hope you enjoy the next one as much 😁
Great trip very inspiring! Thanks for the video.😃
Thank you for sharing your crossing! Safe travels ❤️
Our pleasure!
Really amazing, what a persistent crew! Well done not getting crazy over those three weeks!
Thanks so much Paul 😊
We have just watched your Atlantic Crossing video, first time we have tuned into you! Well done, great! Look forward to more of your adventures.
Welcome aboard! Thanks for the watching Diane 😊
Congratulations on your crossing!!
Every good mom wakes up at 3 am and thinks and prays for her children. Loved the poem.
Loved the filming and the way you wove your story together.
Thank you so much Kim! 😊
Brilliant! Best Atlantic crossing RUclips I’ve seen, thank you!!
That’s very kind, thanks Robert!
Congratulations on crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Bravo. Stay with your dreams.
Hi Zach and Becka. Thank you for sharing your crossing experiences in this great video. Congratulations on the feat! It brought back a lot of memories of my crossing back in 1988 (no videoing, nor gps back then - but a lot of similarities)😀
Our pleasure Ian! We would have loved to have done a crossing back then without so much modern tech 😊
Absolutely brilliant, your doing just what you said at the start and your fetching us all along , got to say it as you know I have followed from the start “best bloody Chanel on all of you tube “ you deserve every success , gorgeous poem from your mum 😊, just amazing best wishes to you both 😊
You’re comments always make our days Paul ☺️ Hope you enjoy the Caribbean content!
Awesome video,from your first tentative steps in sailing to crossing the Atlantic for your next adventures,congratulations
Thanks for following along!
Huge congratulations - what an incredible achievement. Great video too ⛵
Thanks for watching Caroline 😊
Well done! You've been tested by the ocean and succeeded.👌🤗
Always the one to remember, your first ocean crossing.⛵
Thanks 😊 It’s definitely a memory that we will never forget! ⛵️
Great job, great video.👍👍
You are indeed "Bloody Well Doing It."👍👍
Thanks for watching Mike 😁
Great video!! You all should be very proud of yourselves!! The large confused seas brought back memories of when we did the Pac Cup(SF to Hawaii) in 2016 and had those sea conditions the whole way!!! And no sun till the end! And I felt your emotions at the end, glad to have it over, but bittersweet! And so proud!!! Congrats!!!!
Thank you 😊 Sounds like a challenging trip!
That was a wonderful trip to have watched and throughly enjoyed many thanks to you all! When I used to go just to Penzance we used to come across the huge Atlantic rollers after a storm! It made you stop and really think what it must be like sometimes in the Atlantic! Well done to you all 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌
Our pleasure Nigel! We love it down in Penzance 😊
Epic and awesome 👍
Right at the very beginning on your first sail by yourselves you said “ yes we’re bloody doing it “ and now you are really bloody doing it, congratulations , I knew from the very onset of your epic adventure that you would both make very capable sailors. Remember keep having fun and keep true to yourselves. Another great video. 👍😎👍
Thanks for sticking around Paul and having confidence in us! 😊
That was awesome, well done and many congratulations!
Thank you 😊
Sonja”s singing and your mum”s poetry with the rolling waves was awesome .
