FINALLY !! a youtube channel where fish is cooked not only deliciously, but with respect for the fish. Soooo many people (badly) fillet the fish and throw the head and bones back into the sea. My grandfather taught me from a very young age - catch it well, dispatch it well, cook it well, eat it well. Thank you for a great channel.
Thanks for the compliment! I (Fabio) grew up eating everything from the fish. Nothing went to waste. Sounds like you had a similar upbringing. You may enjoy this video where we make a pasta with the meat from a tuna head. ruclips.net/video/sKHmJPk3wS8/видео.html
@@HarborsUnknown oh that just makes my heart sing . Thank you so much . Wonderful . I’m 1/2 Italian and grew up cooking with my grandmother and grandfather . Two simple thing tell you how authentic a pasta dish is before you even look at the ingredients . 1. Was water from the pasta used to enrich the source ? 2. Was the pasta added to the source for the last minute or so of cooking ? Bravo Fabio , bravo .
Not only inspirational (my bread and butter) but very humbling! All the things we (city slickers) take for granted during our daily living… By sharing your experience we get to remind ourselves of the value of what it takes to get the reward of such an amazing life. The value of cost and rewards. Very grateful to be able to live it through you guys! Keep chasing the life of your dreams, its all worthy! #theskyisthelimit
Wow, what a beautiful comment. Thank you so much for watching our videos and for your very appreciated input. We’re looking forward to doing more of this and to read your commentary!! ❤️❤️❤️
You’ve certainly found close to a tropical paradise there , Fresh fish and locally growing fruit and veg , topped up by the floating green grocers , I totally love the idea of the boat delivering your veggies . The plastic problem is alarming , even though we try to recycle as much as possible these days , I suspect much of the damage from discarded plastic is already done 😢. Thanks for sharing your adventures 😃🍻🍷
Thank you David! Kuna Yala is definitely a tropical paradise and has much as we hesitated sharing the plastics issue we felt that it was a good opportunity to share the reality of this problem with our followers. Thank you for watching!
It really is amazing there. Plus without internet you can truly disconnect and live in the present moment. Unfortunately you’re probably right that a lot of damage from plastic is already done but any change in the right direction can’t hurt. Thanks so much for watching Dave! We look forward to your comments each week. 😊🥂
Trash is a HUGE problem all around the world. I've traveled to Ghana, Africa's coast line and have watched locals throw bags of trash on the beach so the surf can pull it out to sea. Beachfront was treated little more than the local landfill. Very sad.
You should see any of the water under a microscope, even if it looks so blue and clean, it’s full of tiny little pieces of all kinds of plastic. But you’re right, it’s so much worse in third world Countries or Countries without much infrastructure. I assume you went into the towns and saw the way they are living too, that’s even sadder & it’s understandable why there’s so much sickness and disease associated with no sewage treatment or system to speak of. Many of them realize & would gladly help if they had the knowledge & financing.
Hi Guys, Another great video. Great story telling at the beginning and the cinematography is getting so good! Loved the description of the water with all the orange colors… really great and inspirational!
Such an important issue to highlight, it’s so sad how we are treating our beautiful oceans. Single use plastic is the scourge of our planet🥺 Love the floating grocery shop and seeng Yoda on the beach❤
Enjoyed the video, I agree about the plastics, I see it everywhere, I really hate the Mylar balloons that I even see in the middle of the oceans ,who even needs that ? As an ASA instructor I try and convey the impact that plastics have to new sailors. I will recommend your video. I enjoyed visiting with Fabio at the tent in Annapolis and maybe will see y'all in the pacific next year. Take Care
Thank you so much for watching the video and for the comment. It was great meeting you in Annapolis. I hope that by sharing our experiences and showing people how plastic pollution is a real problem we can stir up some conversation and hopefully inspire change. Hope to see you out there!!
Your best episode so far...... Re: Plastic waste: what amazes me is that the solution is not technology but actually pretty simple.... In many Nordic countries, you take your empty bottles back to the shop and they pay you a little for it which comes off your grocery bill..... imagine expanding this out a little to pay these people for the plastic they bring back.... and then expanding it a bit more to legislate the producers to force them to take the same amount of waste back as they produce... OF course they will not do it for free and ultimately the consumers will pay but that's not a bad thing to change our behaviour. I really don't believe that these complex cleanup machines are the answer other than a one off attempt to clean the ocean.
Thank you! That sounds like a great step in the right direction. The ocean cleanup machines are helpful to clean what’s already out there but aren’t a long term solution.
Plastic, plastic, plastic. As you become more aware of our spirituality and connection as humans with our beautiful planet, is imposible ignore this issue. I don’t know with could be the solution either, but collect some human garbage (the only one) for sure make you fell a little better. Very thanks for that message. Every small action count. Love the vibes you connect to, and how you share it.
Thank you for your wonderful comment and for watching our videos. We are so happy that we can meet likeminded l people like you. We hoped to spread a little awareness about the beauty of our world the sadness of plastic pollution. We are so fortunate to have such a spectacular planet and hope we can all learn to take good care of it.
Kristin and Fabio, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this incredible video, bringing up a very important topic which is plaguing every single person in the world. 🌍🌎🌏♥ Thank you for sharing your everyday life and what you do every single day, in order to live and thrive, meeting wonderful new people and exploring as you go. In an off-topic question, I was wondering how many LPG tanks you have on board, and if you've had to keep a variety of them with different filling nozzles, for when you refill them. Thanks again for a new installment and I'll be thinking of you as you continue on, learning and teaching as you go.
Leon, we’re so glad you enjoyed the video! We felt it was important to discuss the garbage problem because even though we all know it’s an issue, in most 1st world countries it’s not staring you in the face on a daily basis. We have 2 ten pound aluminum US fitted LPG tanks onboard and here in Panama they fill them as they are. Before we go to the Pacific we’ll need to figure out what nozzles or adaptors we need. 😬 Thanks so much for your support! ❤️
Hi Guys love your work, regarding the plastics problemI have been working on a solution by making a plastic granuliser that will mulch plastic into very small bit (stage 1) then you could use a solar furnace to heat and form into bricks that could be colected and use to recycle. I also have been thinking of things you could reopurpose the plastic like makeing fishing lures. I am sure there are many things that could be made that would be of value for indigenous communities, with the thought if you can make it of value it will be colected. There are several organisations doing this on a bigger scale. If you google you will find easily. Hope to meet you in the drink. Greg & Vicki (SV Aqualibrium)
Hi Crew, thx for this great video. We are killing our planet! When I see these pictures of all the waste we are producing...its a shame... Greets from Germany...
After you collect the beach trash, then, what do you do with it. In all cases, if it is not recyclable or subject to deterioration or burning, one just keeps shifting it to one place to another.
Sapevo del problema della plastica, ma vederlo in dettaglio nel vostro video fa davvero dispiacere. Comunque complimenti, sempre immagini bellissime e contenuti interessanti. Continuerò a seguire le vostre avventure. P. S. La papaya garba poco anche a me😁😁😁
Kristin and Fabio, thank you guys for sharing important topics of garbages… Even in such small islands… I rethink my life with them Always you guys provide me some kind of life text book. Heart felt adventure movie again ! Thank you and keep up!
One Way to help clean up the plastic is to turn it into Bio Diesel..if the islanders could learn to process it would not only help clean up the islands as well as make them fuel...Melting plastic makes great fuel..I do it and use it to run my truck and heat my home..
Wow, SO off grid! Scary to think that even though you can fish and catch food from the sea, you really do need others to help with more necessary foods that help mitigate scurvy and help keep you healthy. And the wonderful thing is that people everywhere are so keen to help and can make a good clean living helping others. Such symbiotic relationships everywhere. It's is great to see you supporting all these islanders, and taking care of their environment too! Congrats to you for doing that. If you could keep a small shredder on board you could compact all the wast down till you get to the next harbour or town and then recycle the plastics, But I understand that this is costly and would weight down the boat, so it's not practical. On the bright side there is now a move to clean up the plastics in the Pacific Ocean, so hopefully in a few years the amount of washed up plastics will reduce significantly. I'll keep you in my prayers and thoughts and I wish you sailing free of drama.
Thank you so much for watching our videos and for your comments which are always on point and very thoughtful. I agree with you hopefully soon we will find a solution to this very troubling problem of plastic in the ocean
@@HarborsUnknown I love watching your journey! Personally, I think that the problem starts with people. We have to acknowledge that 'our' behaviours need to change; stop throwing things away (out the windows of our cars, etc); find a bin or take your rubbish with you and not be so lazy as to just discard things we have used; and to pick up after others. It comes down to HAVING to change our attitudes towards plastic and rubbish in general. But you know this, I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. But the world needs to get to know this, intimately...
People definitely need to change those behaviors but we’ve been in a few countries now where there is no infrastructure for waste removal on a larger scale. So even if people put it in a bin it doesn’t get taken away and processed. It seems to be a very complicated issue.
@@HarborsUnknown Ah OK. I forgot that you had mentioned that. Seems to be a very large problem then. You would think that might give one of these large waste companies an opportunity to make a fortune and clean up (excuse the pun), quite literally!
The only way to combat that polution is to reward the collection of it. If a company is willing to setup recycling infrastructure in the area, and literally put at a call to arms saying they will reward for any plastics handed in to their "weighing centre", maybe even a boat that goes around. The locals would quickl;y find all the plastic and hand it in, and not throw it in the first place, just directly turn it in to this model. Not sure% what mechanism of recycling, and what the finances look like, but surely, if the raw materials already exist, it has to be cheaper than producing new plastics from oil, and if it isn't, it should be made so.
The people would definitely respond to an incentivized recycling. In fact our friend Tobias took the empty beer cans we had onboard to give them to his friend because they are able to sell them. I assume they’re being recycled. So if there was something like this for plastic bottles it would be great!
Garbage is a huge problem, not just in remote islands but world wide. We cannot blame the companies who produce the packaging, the biggest problem are people and their shitty attitudes like the world owes them and they can do whatever they want. Land based garbage is even worse than ocean based garbage. Only by creating garbage awareness in marinas and harbours, can we hope to reduce ocean garbage.....enjoy your sailing adventures, wish I could afford a boat as well.
Thank you for watching our videos and for your comment. I agree with you, yes, people have the greatest responsibility and it is often surprising how our individual behavior can add up to create a large problem by little increments. Drop one candy wrapper on the ground and soon there will be a mountain of garbage. Unfortunately in some parts of the world lack of education and above all lack of infrastructures make it very difficult to change habits. Unlike Europe or the US, Panama has a very feeble garbage collection program, no garbage bins and nowhere to deposit your refuse. People get used to seeing trash on the ground and dropping the wrapper becomes a normalized behavior. It takes generations to change habits and to nudge humans in the right direction and we hope that government and industry may help with immediate countermeasures in the short term. In the output side, by setting up robust disposal and recycling program and on the input side by minimizing plastic and improving the biodegradability of packaging material. Thank you for your giving us the opportunity to start such a stimulating conversation.
I watched this with my kids, and my 8 year old son said, "Papa, some of that trash could be ours." Recycling in Korea is rudimentary in my opinion, but far more advanced compared to the US. I'm glad he's thinking about the global impact of not recycling, plastic damage, etc. Thank you for including this in the video. 🙌
Love your kid!! How heart warming! You are correct, in the US only a small part of plastic is recycled. We owe it to the next generation to clean up our act. Thank you for watching and for your comments
