Groovy episode. Well done on the stern anchor guys.

I love how vibrant colors are in this video.Such a scenic view looks great....thank you so much for a wonderful sharing!!!!🥰😍

Orpheus island looks amazing! Well done getting that anchor up - loads of mud! Always useful having lots of beers to hand out when traveling in Oz:-)!

You guys are handling things like really experienced yachties already. It impressive.

Have been binge watching your videos. Just can't seem to quit watching. 3 am and I need to stop soooooo, guess I'll finish Wayfinder tomorrow. Love your vids.

Nailed it guys! 🔨🔨

Great tips gain thanks guys, love watching you both!

You guys are certainly coming into your own now. Love watching your weekly adventures. Hope your future is a bright one. 👍

I watch several sailing couples and families. One thing Ive noticed is that sailing is a constant learning experience. Well done on the stern anchor in the middle of the night. Lol

Great episode this week 👍

Another amazing episode. 😁😁 Looks amazing guys.

Am a bit of a newbie myself but already come across a few skippers that get kind of cranky if you come within about a mile of their swing radius. Like you, I've found that a kind word and a cold beer works wonders and makes you a lotta friends. Fun learning with you, good stuff!

Way to go guys getting that stern anchor up 👍👍👍

John is such a groover...really enjoy your storytelling and music

Good vid. Thanks for sharing. Life is good~

Me and my wife we really enjoy your guys's video, learning along the way so cool 👍👍👍👍

best ep. yet!!!!! 💙⚓

Hello Kristina!! I so enjoy your videos.. love you guys

Another amazing island adventure, we live in a beautiful part of the world.

Hi from Florida. Be Safe and Thanks.

I'm guessing your videos were in my "suggestions" because of the ones in Spain. We've been and plan to move there, so I loved your contributions. Oddly, you two are so compelling that I spent the last day and a half binge watching all of your videos, and now I'm a happy subscriber! Can't wait to see where else you go.

BRILLIANT, much love from England

todo en ti es siempre hermoso, siempre estás bien arreglado y hermoso

When you set a stern anchor, to make it easier to lift, put a line and a float (a bleach bottle or small fender) on the stock. You will be able to weigh the anchor from the dinghy, as the flukes will slide backwards from the mud, and the float will serve as a marker since other boats can't see your stern anchor line. Great stories. Lessons learned

Boat is looking good. Take care of it and I will take care of you.

Really enjoying your channel guys

Really,really enjoy your show

Anchors get stuck in mud all the time, and you handled it perfectly. I understand the reef proximity was a bit scary, but otherwise just float above and inch it in bit by bit. The rocking of the boat is your friend, it will gradually rock the anchor up out of its mud.. If it wasn’t for the reef you can take the bow anchor up first and finish with the aft, then you can motor slightly back and forth above it to increase the rocking/bending.. Power winch or power windlass (aft - yes, the do exist too) is great help, but can fail too if very stuck..

You guys are true ambassadors for Australia. Keep up the good work. I hope to sail around Oz some day after the Med & a few othe oceans 1st. Happy Easter from the Northern Hemisphere.

You should carry a 1 to 2 metre length of heavy chain so you can loop it around your stuck anchor chain/rope and shackle the ends together. Tie another rope around this loop and using the tender let it all slide down to your stuck anchor manoeuvring away from your yacht. Use that rope to pull the end of the anchor backwards out of the hole it has dug itself into. Comes out easy that way.

Almost like the days, I had as a kid sailing on the Humber estuary...as I say Almost! keep up the great videos, Love you guys!

Way to build the suspense at the beginning! I thought you guys ran aground for sure! 😂

This one gives me some good laughs. At 11:35 John's mellow dramatic response as Kristina comes flying from the wood's trail screaming about a "Massive" spider web frantically patting herself down, as if to be eliminating any possibility of arachnid invasion to her lovely form. So what consoling remonstrations does dear John have to provide for his precious bride's moment of panic?: "You got your gypsy earrings on I don't think they can bite you.", as matter-of-factly as to be no doubt of this revelation... Question for Kristina, was the coconut chia pudding your recipe? Thanks for sharing guys. This is the last episode of Kristina's Travels left for me to watch. I watched the infommercial advisement type ones before starting on the sailing ones. My system is start at either end and word toward the middle. My sincere hope and prayer is you will acquire another sail boat for world adventures. Keep us posted please. God Bless and take care John and Kristina🙏🏻🕊💜

Great I'm a bit from a different story, but in a similar style. Travel to travel! And music is music, It is with you, it is with me. I like it! And most important thing. We have Passion, which some will not take from us! Greetings from faraway Ireland - Lazy foot. You will come to me when you have time for a good rest and fun. Peace 🇮🇪👣 cheers

🙂 There should be a spot to attach a line on the back of any anchor. This is to add a line & bouy for easy retrieval.

Good job kids.

A sounder on your tender would make the scouting job a bit easier 😜

I just saw your instagram story, hope you guys are good and healthy! And as always very nice vlogs and beautiful views! 🙌🏽

Keeping me sane whilst working 650m underground. Looking forward to seeing what I missed out on in your next ep

🙏🏻...

That anchor is the perfect one for mud and sand where you need good holding do not be afraid of using it as it is designed to dig in hard and deep. You are now learning from a Kiwi so there are three ways to recover these style anchors the Easy (not your way) the even Easier (even more not your way) and the very difficult (your way). *Lecture mode on* So the easy is to lift your anchor first by dropping the stern anchor line (tie the loose line up and add a buoy so you can pick it up), you can then pick up the line at the bow using the boat motor to pivot the anchor (twist it) loose from its bite then use the windlass to haul it up (Snubber the chain and let it out a little to remove the chain from the windlass). The Easier is when you use that type of anchor you have a second line on the anchor with a float basically straight up attached to the end of the anchor that digs into then sand or mud (opposite end to where you attach the line to the boat). You do the same as the easy (drop stern and bow anchor first) but when you go to collect the anchor you hook up the vertical line to the anchor at the bow drive the boat to push or pull in the opposite direction the anchor dug in (or somewhere close) and it will come free and up to the top of the mud/sand. You can then haul it up backwards and recover the stern line. NOTE: With the easier be wary of the line in the water and your prop I have seen others use a dingy and sea anchor to know where that line is or like me pay attention. Lastly if you are using this anchor on the bow lift the chain off the mud/sand then you can power over it to have the flutes change to an up direction, flop the anchor on its side or ideally come loose and lift out, loose is great the other two its dig direction is now out of the mud. In a storm that is the anchor I would trust in sand and mud as it will keep trying to dig deeper than the newer designs unless direction changes but that is where the length of chain comes in, newer designs instead only go so deep then start dragging in bad conditions or under sized but are easy to recover and fine in most conditions. *Lecture mode off*😀

Is that a coiled up octopus you are pointing @ here? 12:31 Thanx for sharing!

👍

Hinchinbrook you described it to a “T” Jurassic Park those great big dinosaur (Crocs) that lurk 🥺🐊

Thank you for your videos. i will catch up. Any vids underwater with the reef fish? How to cooking. and when do you resupply?

You are a sweet couple. I wish you all the best!

Shout out from PH

But very interesting

Be great to see you guys in the San Blas Islands, Carrabean. I'm on the border of Colombia and Panama.

Great video showing the ups and downs of sailing. Do you shoot video in raw first ?

Fortress anchor's can dig down as much as 4ft into mud in rough conditions

We camped out at hinchinbrook island for 2 weeks, it’s very dark, better in day light. I shit myself and hardly slept. You should try this once in your life. Dinosaur paradise. 1 tip, camp at the top of the hill at night.

Thank you for sharing the fun and anchoring lesson. I see your..Jeanneau 50. Have you found the double helm useful? Found 95% of the time not using the port side helm. What's your Experience?

Solid advice for ALL, I 🙏🥰❤️‍🔥🌎🤲 may you have fair winds, good health, wisdom , safety and financial increase so saith the Lord 🥰❤️‍🔥 my 💦😇💦🙌👏🙌👏, Amen & Amen.

Or...Feed your cranky neighbors beer until they smile at you and make a pass at your lover !!!

Getting yourself out of a shitty situation, goodonya NUG. 😎😎

Congralations sister your dream come true sister may i join your team it was my dream to travel sailing cruise

A suggestion. When showing scenery use longer edits. Let the viewers soak in the view.

No disrespect but put an 8 mm line and bouy on the anchor to ease it out.Safe sailing guys.

Um…. Are you guys selling Tucana?

Do you plan on numbering your episodes?

Why are you selling..?

Just saw Tucana listed for sale! What gives?

Do you have a toilet on the boat or what If you Need to pee. For Boys it could be easy but Girls?

Please don’t play music when you are talking. It is extremely hard to understand you. Love your accents but in the states it is somewhat of an issue to understand you.
