Tarka is a 1973 Albin Vega 27 (8.2m) that I bought sight-unseen and without sailing experience on the island of St. Martin in April of 2017. I was thrust head-first into ocean sailing as I got Tarka safely south from what would become the most devastating hurricane seasons on record. We are now working our way west towards the Pacific.
I am sailing Tarka around the world in part to raise money and awareness for coral conservation by supporting the Coral Reef Alliance. You can learn more here:
www.theadventur...
or visit their website directly:
www.coral.org
If you make a donation to their website directly in Tarka's honor, please send me an e-mail copy of your receipt so I can keep track of Tarka's fundraising. You can forward to:
theadventuresoftarka@gmail.com
Additional support for Tarka’s sail for CORAL (The Coral Reef Alliance) comes from contributions by:
Soylent - Healthy provisioning for the long offshore passages
Sta Lok - Swage-less terminals for portions of Tarka’s rigging, making it an easy DIY job and allowing for easy inspection
Victron Energy - Providing monitoring solutions for Tarka's batteries, to ensure we always have enough juice to do what we need to.

Man! She did a great job!!!!! with the boat and the video!!!
your so lucky to find an amazing woman that has taken to the sailing life so well. Amazing content :)
Sorry for your loss:(
Well I’m gonna jump in late here, but you chose to start on a sailing adventure on a very small boat by most experts opinion. And then you chose to do it on your own! A true loaner, just happy to be sailing. And it must of been the luckiest day of your life you meet this beautiful Swedish girl and she is an expert videographer and she wants to sail with you in this tiny boat! I hope that your relationship is as good as it seems on these videos! She is a keeper and you are a keeper too! Great match!
Ok, less than five minutes into this video and it's clear...you'd better hope this girl keeps you.
She is a keeper
Dude! You can grill your flat breads! Also a lid for the frying pan will make pizza more epic....although the blow torch. Genius.
You are a lucky man! A cute dutch girl that maintains your boat while your away! KEEPER!
Loved hearing Noustha's commentary too. The ins and outs explained really makes it reality. Cannot wait for next episode. Appreciate too, the mention of passing of your father and my husband. Love!
Jo - our deepest condolences. Find a time to break from your routine to visit Tarka, crowded as that might be.
Condolences on your loss. The two of you managed it well together. The lovely and charming Noustha kept the enterprise going and captured some great content for you.
Nice to hear Noustra talking on the video.
Have a safe trip.
One of your better episodes.
Nice work you two!
Man, you scored out of your league, a cute dutch accent AND she cleans and upgrades your boat? Keeper!
I thought I heard wedding bells in part of this video
Nobody is out of nobodies' league.
@@nestorbenavidez694 I have to agree with Nestor that I'm kinda sick of dumb comments like that...
@@mcbrite I never even knew there was a league to begin with..
@Keepadagroov exactly .. Who is the prize here?
Loved the new voice on the commentary! Fair winds to the two of you.
SHE SPEAKS!!! Super nice accent too! Easy to understand, yet different enough to be exotic! Photographer, traveler, diver, and now sailor. Any more like her at home?
Job site pizza, you would be amazed what food can be cooked with just a torch ;)
Perfect balance of information and entertainment. Thanks for the fine channel.
Nushta is a gem!!! Cherish her skipper...she's pure GRACE!!
I really enjoyed this episode guys. Nice to hear Noustra's narration, She did a great job! So sorry for your loss Captain.
Beautiful footage guys! Glad I could contribute with one of my tracks ✌🏻
Thanks Ikson! We are really enjoying them :).
@@TheAdventuresofTarkaYou would have been better off if you had bought/made hammocks. Boat mattresses ae notorious for being thin and not very comfortable unless you can pile a few together when needed. I used to work for Marine Projects in Plymouth, England. And they used the same for 26 and 28 Ft Speedboats, 30 to 65 Ft Cruisers and Moody, Sigma and the other one 30 to 46 Ft. I have nt worked there for some time and hope that they now use the Memory Foam Mattresses?
A lot of women would have sat there ass in a bar, Noustha, love her accent, is a keeper. Great upcoming channel.
So good to hear your "voice" Noustra (do I have the spelling correct?). You are so much like my Sweetie of 40 years, I smile whenever I see you in the video. Keep up the great adventure.
11:48 love it!
top tip, when you inflate the PFD's in future use a pump so the air is not from your moist lungs.! this moisture will eventually ruin the PFD.
Oh no! The ending had me in stitches. But seriously, this was a great video and you both are beautiful together. Take care of each other and safe travels as you venture farther westward.
Excellent!
use a lid with the frying pan and the pizza will cook fine.
Sasquatch: Yes exactly. Turn down the heat and cover
Haha, I did -- that part just wasn't filmed.
Well little lady, dive master, excellent under water photographer, painter, seamstress, you are a woman of many talents. You are also there to help a friend in need. From all outward appearances, you two work very well together. You have a lovely voice and it's nice to hear it.
Fair winds,
Heavy Dutch oven for the stove top to do pizza or lighter folding stove top oven used when camping
It is so nice to see the both of your back together on Tarka. Have a safe sail to Columbia and will be looking forward to your next video.
Nice vid.
Great video guys, I want a flamethrower pizza for dinner tonight now.
Notification squad! I'm loving following this journey, I've binge-watched all the episodes!
Thank you a lot for your videos, I think it is one of the best and purest youtube channels at the moment. I am sorry for the loss of your father. Greetings from the Netherlands
"Final Prep and we're off" more like "Noustra the wonder woman" . Love your contribution, go girl!!
You've replaced Sailing Uma. Keep up the great work, you two are down to earth and enjoyable to watch. :) Best wishes for your future!
Josh Perry, same, I used to watch sailing uma, but when i found Tarka I switched over immediately
@@hg172k9 I actually just unsubscribed yesterday. It took a long time to get to that point. I guess I hoped they'd turn it around. Anyways, onward and upwards!
@@JPerry-jw9ik Same here.
You’ve just given me the push I needed to unsubscribe to Uma. Stay humble Tarka!
@@stdenisbros same here. Sailing uma: how two talented, down-to earth peoply turn out of themselves after some minute-success on youtube.
Just adding to what has already been said, YOU FOUND YOURSELF A GOOD ONE!!!
Another great episode so well done, full of interesting things as usual, thanks for making the vids, lots of inspiration too in every episode. UK
I love watching you two. Thanks for making such awesome videos.
cool Video, thx for sharing. I have a Albin Accent on my home lake in central switzerland. Love the Albin boats. Build to last. Very strong and solid sailors. Starting our circumnavigation now on a bigger one:). Best wishes for you guys and save travels. Paz y Amor, Familiaporelmundo
Elcino, capt rick the other guy i just forgot his name good guys and good friends to have.
Love the blowtorch pizza. Wish you smooth sailing!
Really good underwater shots! Fun show! THANKS!
Sincere condolences to you and your family on your loss. Now, as you set off on further voyages, the two of you are establishing a new, much higher standard for your videos. Big congratulations ... most enjoyable narrative and an empathic partnership ... fair winds, good luck. 🤙
We'll do our best to meet the new bar!
God bless you amigo and your girl stay safe
Cemedine Super-X 8008 in black will fix that rubber. It's from Japan, but you can get it on eBay. Also works on dive suits and a million other things. It's like a liquid rubber that is also a very strong adhesive. Dries like rubber.
nice teaser to next episode :P
Do you also take the labels off at your home? NO. It's just a myth it helps against cockroaches. Everybody stops doing that after 2 years cruising. Hope this helps :-)
Your t shirt is just perfect
I wonder how well the dinghy patch kit would've worked on that pump. Might be a consideration if no replacement seals could be found. Tire repair kits might be useful onboard in emergencies too.
totally binge watching your channel atm, great content, well produced.
18:10 did you just push against your OWN sea rail? hahaha great video as always!
I think I was just pushing against the toe-rail, but it's hard to tell.
Love the reaction when the spinakker went down at the end😂
Turtles are so cool. Like birds of the sea. Fly through the water, breath air, and lay eggs 🥚
When yanks say " that's really good" . What they mean is. " that's really nice".
In laughed my ass off when you fried your pizza with a blowtorch :p
Have a Nice trip to Colombia
Groeten uit Nederland ;)
Beautiful underwater photography.
OH MY GOD HER NARRATION WAS SO GOOD! so cute!

So sorry about your pop.
Great job with the video!!!!!
You guys have arrived!!!!!!
Sign me up!!!!! Lol
Will you be doing a video on finance? How do you afford to travel around the world?
Eventually I hope to do video that covers the financial reality of all of this.
Wooo, Noustha! I think that hairy guy is hampering your social life. And you cleaned up his boat. Dutch girls rock.
Consider dating those cans in the future. AWESOME VID.
Most of them have printed dates on them, which saves us some work.
Sorry about your dad I am sure he is watching over you. Stay safe and have a great passage.
Bummer on the Spinnaker halyard at the end. Can't wait to see what happened. I really like your videos. Godspeed to Colombia
Love the new intro
My friend tasted the bilgewater and it was from the holding tank !!
Lol, oh no...
fyi some ports are much happier if you dress like the capt you are when go into customs and such. things go much easier.
pizza isn't cooking, pulls out blowtorch
Leif Nyland Do you think he could be related to red green
Boat life necessitates unique problem-solving techniques.
Nice video! man keep it up! ;)
Sorry for your loss. Nice haircut!
Great job once again! Glad to see you are off and on your way! Oh... about pizza making on a sail boat.... I learned from someone else that you should first toast / bake both sides of the dough then add the sauce, cheese and toppings. They did seem to come out better for me this way. Add a lid on top of your pan to help melt the cheese. I use my propane grill to make our pizzas. I plan to upgrade my batteries and you have me thinking about two 6 volt golf cart units now, thanks!Best of luck to you both! Fair Winds and Seas!
Regarding the pizza, we do all those things now, and no longer use the blow torch method, as fun as it is.
Solar oven?
Great video u 2
Watching this is increasingly making me want to get my own boat.
Condolences but life goes on. Great video!
This Series inspired me to get my own small boat and “live” on during the Canadian summer. Thanks for the great series so far and good luck on your journey to come.
Im east coast 🇨🇦.
Got stoked myself last summer and got a boat for me and my kids - we are sailing lake champlain
Symphony Farm Lake Champlain sailor here also ✌️
Where do you sail out of?@@stdenisbros
Symphony Farm out of Malletts Bay
Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss bro. Hang in there!
Nice vlog! I see the same boat as I have at 7:45 and dream about adventure... But I'm stuc in a polar erea for the moment. Take care end keep on vlog and sailing.
We've sometimes thought about what it would be like to have Tarka in a cold place. I think it would be a nice change... for about a week :P.
Max one week :) I live in the western part of Norway.
Hate to say it but you guys need a bigger boat. One with room for tank compressor and dive tank storage. A 35ft might work.
Would certainly be nice :), but it is what it is.
You can have too many toys.
Just asking do you have a grill? if yes you can use that as an oven. : ) peace
No grill, and our stove is alcohol-based, so if we did have a grill, we'd also have to carry propane.
holy shit that boat is clean now. cutest accent too
Groeten uit Nederland. Nice video!
Nice couple , keep on keeping on .
I hate when that happens (spinnaker head rips out).
Seriously... every time.
Hope it doesn't happen to you ever time you put up the spinnaker. It has only happened to me once and that was when it was blowing hard and the spinnaker was old. Let me tell you I was really moving when it blow out. Now I take down the spinnaker long before I think it my rip out. Love your videos.
Seasons come,seasons go,and so do we. Tomorrow is promised to no one. In the end,I hear, our lives pass in a flash. But we all have a promise. When you find someone more valuable than all of the treasures of the world...keep her. I did. God bless you two and be safe.
I would agree . But what is a single woman doing hanging out around yachties? But then again..I don't know the back story.
