Can you please help me by telling that I have to go from Fiji to New Zealand. I only want a cruise ship from Fiji to Samoa and Auckland. Please note that Apia Samoa (Not American Samoa) . Fiji, Suva, Apia Samoa and finished Auckland New Zealand. Please reply me. Thanks for your video ☺️

Safe that Marshall islands flag, that will make a great souvenir frame it with how many miles blown on double trouble

Why are these guys building boats out of plywood? THats idiotic. Use real wood seriously.

you could avoid nanoplastic polymer paint and instead use sand with agar agar or starch and car's ceramic nanocoating for waterproofing. also you can avoid expoxy and glass fiber with flax, jute, hemp, etc fibers and some natural glue as well, or use instead flexible skin-on-frame sof with those fabrics

Don't you guys have a spinnaker?

Being vegan and sailing blue water could only happen in the 21st century. Completely opposite to all native cultures.

What a dream run 23 to 30 knots tailwind. Mainsail down,storm jib up and averaging 8 to 10 knots .Beautiful.

Yay Saint Rob😇

It is not "aotearoa" as some people refer to New Zealand as. The Maoris arrived from the north and when they landed at Great Barrier Island ( which they called Aotea ) they climbed to the top of a hill and saw another island in the distance, covered in white clouds. They called that island "aotearoa" and some people incorrectly say that it means "land of the long white cloud". Unfortunately, there were many similar meanings for the same sounds that made up the Maori's speech, as they had no common written meanings such as the english alphabet systems of unification of speech sounds and meanings. Aotearoa actually means "another good island" and when both the North Island and the South Island of New Zealand were explored they gave both islands separate names. They did not name both Islands as one place such as in other cultures that could do so, ( with a written form of word meaning ) until modern times, when some Maoris decided that New Zealand was called "Aotearoa" by the first Maoris to arrive here, and so they claim that the name for New Zealand should be "Aotearoa" and not "New Zealand". The Maoris communicated sounds with movements ( their haka and other singing dances a good example ) and never had a symbolic recognition written communication which makes their non-european verbal communication tribal related. This led to confusion and many wars between each tribe, and the construction of communal tribal 'Pa's" ( villages ) were surrounded by barriers to invasion by another tribe. In today's times the Maori tribe that settled in the South Island ( Ngh Tahu ) call the South Island the same name they have been calling it since they arrived, and have said that it will never be called "Aotearoa" or anything else. The current push for Maori names and road signage is just a political ploy for the Labour Party to get the Maoris support as voters, and it is just another type of election bribe.

That is a clean marina I can verify that

3:34 you are teaching them the Morden way

wakkak rukok naan ne ej kontaak jikka ,lol

Amazing video! Thanks so much. Why is the main hull of the traditional proa rounder on the windward side and flatter on the other?

G'day Doubble Trouble. What's happening! Have you given up sailing and KZfaq?

Aibojoj wot, (Beautiful)

We are preparing for this crossing for the first time, great informative video. Did you guys went west as much as you could and then SE towards NZ?

Mauri & Welcome to our Small Nation. Thank you for showing our flags. Hope you meet the biggest heart of I-Kiribati's people.

It’s always raining in the Marshall island

My country Kiribati, thank you for visiting and posting your video

Thanks heaps for sharing!🙏🏻..frm the coughing fellow camper parked next door

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abuSlsKIttC8kqc.html Is this your white wall?

Interesting Wall. Looks like previous civilization built that wall. )))

I'm just wondering if you've ever encountered a rogue wave.

Boat building is the best way for many to overcome so many personal challenges. We have been building many Optis and saw the changes in peoples lives - we actually using boatbuilding and sailing to build LifeSkills. Too bad that too many schools stopped their work shops, a big loss for children. Well done guys. For me it's most rewarding

Hello dears, so nice to have news from you. I have just bought a FP Lipari as well to move to live aboard. I have a question regarding the anchor: I’d like to buy a Mantus or a Rocna, what weigh you suggest on the base of experience? 25 or 30 kg? Many thanks. All the best!

What's the brown goop they were spreading on the base of the boat at about 3 min

very horrible in the bottom of ocean.

Saw you in the creators group. Just subbed. And heart breaking about Squander.

Kat and I enjoyed you latest production, Bravo. Hopefully we will see you in an anchorage soon. I will PM you.👍🇫🇯🇨🇦❤️

Hi guys, great to see you back on the water. If I can ask what are your rough plans? Hang around Fiji? As for us off to pick up our FP in Greece in May after 2.5 yrs. All good being back on the water. Cheers SV Rukus

To echo some other comments, its great to have your videos again! After you recover from this passage, it would be great if you could share your procedure for heaving-to. Also, I think you covered this once upon a time, but do you carry (and ever deploy) a drogue and sea-anchor? Would a drogue, or even trailing a warp of line, have been sufficient to slow you down in this situation (to allow the bad weather to pass)?

Good to see you back and posting. Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid.

Thank you for sharing. Have missed your videos. Love OAKS

Nice to see another episode.

really good to see you two, it's been a while. great views as per usual, all the best for 2022

Hey guy's, great to see y'all. Really enjoy the videos, and film with dolphins never gets old. Thanks again, we always enjoy your videos. 👍🏼👍🏼🐾

good to see another film crew, miss ya.

Thanks for sharing. We missed your vids. Really appreciate them. Regarding heaving to…. I’ve often wondered if cats do a good job of that. Did you see the ‘slick effect’ upwind? The smoothing that sometimes happens to the waves? I’m writing before finishing viewing.. hope you didn’t answer in vid. :) I’m hoping you’ll show how you drifted and speed over ground etc. Many times I see people on KZfaq slowing boat down to arrive at port in daylight. I’ve never understood that. If you can heave to it seems to me best to make good speed while the wind blows. Heave to 10 miles off. Better than slowing and then the wind dies and you aren’t where you hoped. Or am I missing something? (I’m an armchair admiral so I suppose it IS possible. :)

It's great to have you back. I've missed you! As always another great video.

Enjoyed the video and some leads on a couple great dinners. Thank you.
