Күн бұрынWhat is it like to SAIL AROUND THE WORLD? We spent the last 6 years sailing offshore across oceans through storms and calms, meeting new cultures and overcoming challenges. THIS IS OUR STORY of 6 years at sea, sailing full circle around the world.
Sailing around the world was our dream, this is the story of how we made that dream come true.
We have been sailing around the world for 6 years after setting off from England in 2016 on board our 37ft sail boat Florence. Join us as we share the highs, lows, and challenges of travelling around the world by boat, Sailing offshore across the Oceans and exploring remote locations with our own little tiny house. Boat life out at sea on the ocean and off the grid.

I love how low key you both are, and that you did it in a monohull, not an expensive catamaran. I also love how your focus is on the sailing and exploring, and not creating false dramas just to gain viewers like some of the other sailing channels. I hope you keep doing what you are doing, and do not sell out like the other big channels. Congratulations on an amazing journey!!!🎉

Didn't know how I could put into words how much this video touched me until one of my kids walked into the room, 15 seconds before the very end and asked what I was watching. I said "The best youtube video I've ever seen" and my voice broke while saying it. Amy, so sorry for your loss, but thank you both so very much for taking us along on your epic journey.

Amy , my sincere condolences on your Dad's passing. Circumnavigating the world in a 12 meter sailing yacht is something very few people will ever accomplish. Your tenacity , determination, and courage in overcoming so many challenges is awe-inspiring. Many thanks for taking us along and the hours of enjoyment from following your channel. I don't know what you two will do when you reach England's shores, but you have already left your mark on the world and brought much happiness to people you will never meet in person. Best wishes as you prepare to embark on the final leg of this incredible adventure.

Guys, you deserve everything you have got:.... experiences that most would die for. I've tracked you all the way, and the series is intelligently put together, beautifully shot, and captures the true experience of global sailing. It stands head and shoulders above all other sailing videos. My only regret is that I didn't have the foresight, and balls at your age, to do the same. Well done, and in the nicest way possible, don't come home, because nothing could follow this. Stay safe. Brett

Huge congratulations on this massive milestone. It has been amazing sharing your adventures vicariously - thanks for having us along for the ride. When I first discovered your channel I had to go back to the start and watch all the videos from (nearly! 😉) the start. While your videos have got better and better, you have been natural presenters from the start. Episode 17, the voyage to the Marquesas, is still a great watch, and I was delighted when it passed one million views. The ending feels like the moment when long-cherished dreams came true. All your success is richly deserved. I love to see you enjoying sailing Florence like the true sailors that you are, and how the journey and life has evolved as time has gone on. For what it's worth, I think you made exactly the right decision not to wait but to seize the opportunity when you did. You have enjoyed the experiences in the prime of your lives. Never regret it for the second, despite any sacrifices. I was sorry to hear about Amy's dad. You have spoken before about the influence he had on your life. His support and love is made tangible by The Machine. He must be very proud.

Unbelievable footage! National Geographic take note. We are both ardent sailors and know the feeling while away from home what it means to loose a parent. We are in awe that your accomplishments were done in a 37 ft. boat. (We often feel our 41 ft . boat is too small for extended journeys.) When/if you are going back to England, please stay safe.

What an AMAZING accomplishment ! This is HUGE, very huge! You know you'll never be able to go back to the ordinary life on land. The itch has to be scratched and you know you are a great team! Like myself, so many of us took the safe road and stayed home, ran the daily commute and saved our money hoping that one day "when we retired" we would go on great adventures and do risky things. Only this November I reached the retirement milestone and the decisions to lock up and hop on the next flight to parts unknown is more complicated and tedious now, encumbered by age and health and "things" we grown attached to in our carefully manicured lives. I wish, I wish, I wish. Congratulations you did it and we can't wait to see what's next!

We shed tears of joy throughout this entire video. It's already a magnificent achievement to sail around the world, as you did. But it's not what you did that's so special, so much as HOW you did it. With style, grace, humility, a tiny budget, and spreading warmth wherever you went. Add into that the sheer hard work, dedication and talent required to document it and bring hundreds of thousands of people along with you for the ride, and it's clear that your epic personal achievement has given so much to so many other people as well. Congratulations to you both - you rock!

Along with many others who have commented here, I want to thank you for the thousands of hours you have spent creating the quality of your videos: the delight and excitement you share with us when you reach a new shore, your quiet narration (I love to hear the water, wind, boat & sailing sounds you don't cover up with music), of what you are experiencing...all of these make your videos very unique and you both stand out for all the right reasons. Fair winds as you head for England and all your future adventures, I know I will be cheering you on and wish I could transport myself to the finish line celebration!

Very good job guys!!! I'll watch what ever content you produce, you are the best hosts and excellent videographers and the most amazingly skilled sailors!! Also you keep me with a good vibe through the hardest years of my life, and I appreciate that a lot. Thanks for taking us with you. I'm sure Amy's dad would be proud of both of you. Love from Argentina!

Started watching you during the lockdown from NZ and I’m constantly amazed by your courage. Can’t wait to hear what’s next! Well done

;Matt and Amy, You guys must inspire thousands of venturesome folks. I am well past such thrilling trips; though I must say that I had a taste of it. Born and raised in rural Nebraska, USA, I ventured to Chicago, then Detroit, then California - leaping off to join MOFTEC in China where I traveled to more than 100 cities in every province.. Then approaching 75, I throttled back to Thailand where the anchor dug in. Happily in northern Thailand, its a happy life riding my motorcycle into the mountains and hiking to villages rather remote. Nothing quite like staying with natives in a house above the pigs and chickens and eating an unimaginable variety of veggies, herbs and insects..... Keep on feeding my mind with your at sea adventures... Yes, I did a bit of sailing the Great Lakes - Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, and Lake Huron...... Love your sequels...! Cheers, jerry in Chiang Mai

I picked you guys up when you were waiting for a break in Covid in Indonesia. Since then never missed an episode. This one is fantastic and I want to share with family and friends. Well Done!

I’ve watched your videos for years and at the age of 65 with two more years to work till my sailing adventure in the Mediterranean you guys are an inspiration. I’ve spent 43 years in the airline business so I’ve been lucky to see most of the world but how you two have done it is much much better.
