Great adventure

The ones who built Nan Madol and the Vikings were the same people. Why they had short doors. There was a real account of a large sea serpent/dragon shipment alongside the Fijian Drua canoes from Fiji to West Katau then Katau to build Seun Nen Leng(reef of heaven)/ Nan Madol. That same idea of dragon/serpent boats were taken to Asia, America and Europe. Where the front long neck if their ship shaped like a dragon or serpent. But it was a real account where a real large sea serpent/dragon called Fiti Pul(Fiji Bul) by Pohnpeians., had the log basalt magmetic stones strapped on her back. While the rest of the magnetic stones were shipped by the Drua(Fijian double hulled canoes),from Moturiki reef Fiji to West Katau via Pohnpei Micronesia. Names still lives on Moturiki island Fiji like Korovatu(stonefort), Korobaba(village built with structured fences), Vatulavelavesa(levitated sacred stones), Vatuwaqa levu(stones loaded on a big twin canoes), Vatuwaqa lailai(stones loaded on a smaller twin canoe),Delainawaqaibonu(on top of a serpent boat), Rabakanawa(ancestral name of Davetalevu Moturiki which was also the name of dragon in the Phillipines is Bakanawa)..Nakoronawa(floated village), Naivavada(a part of the Bakanawa canoe smaller im size than the Drua).Burotu( name of the Empire on the reef S.E of Moturiki, where the Nan Madol stones were shipped from). Burotu was also the 1st paradise land on the heart of Bulu(underworld beside Moturiki). Which used to be seen as an island partly physical nd partly spiritual floated at the southern waters of Fiji. But the Burotu stone fort Empire was based on Davetalevu-Vunuku reef of Moturiki..Known as the Pulotu Empire by Polynesian scholars, which once ruled Fiji nd the Pacific islands from the 1st century after Noahs flood till it was flooded and shipped away in the 8th century AD. During or within those decades of their reigned, they colonised the Pacific and the whole world started from Summeria, Persia, Greece, Egypt, Rome and finally to Anglo(England)/America known as the Vikings..Broken ancient potteries were even found on that Moturiki Fiji reef + a big black stone still sits on that reef to this day. Also 17000 ancient potteries were found on dryland Uluibau Moturiki. Which was the highest number of potteries found on all the Lapita sites of the Pacific.Wrongly assumed to have came from Taiwan. But their progenitor was the pre-flood male child rescued by God after the flood at Burotu/Vuniivilevu beside Moturiki island fiji. That was why Moturiki in the middle east of Fiji topped the whole Pacific as the highest number of Lapita potteries location. Instead of 1 of those west Pacific islands closer to Taiwan like Malaysia, Singapore, Phillipines, indonesia, PNG, Maluku(Mollucas islands), Anabau(East Timor), Solomon islands or Vanuatu. But Moturiki Fiji topped them all because they never come from Taiwan, it was some of them who sailed to Formosa(Taiwan) and settled Niumatou site of central Formosa(Taiwan). Niumatou is even a Fijian name at a reef of Davetalevu sea near Nananu(Tailevu), called Niumatou or Namatoutou..You can see the misunderstanding of those white scholars who twisted our history by saying that we come from Taiwan. But we never come from Taiwan, because it was our ancestors who went there and other parts of the world. Not the other way round. That Lapita potteries encrpted with concentric circles nd spiral images can even be seen in the Phillistines Gaza museum. Where the Peleset sea-people settled after their consistent attacks on Egypt, Middle East coastal countries and Greece. By trying to demolished the civilisation that they engineered nd architected. Because local people from those regions tried to claim their(Fijian sea people) works as their own. Out of that 17000 potteries of Moturiki, only 92 resembled the Lapita potteries of Fiji and the Pacific. Within that 92 it had covered the 4 migrational patterns found incompleted on other Lapita sites of Fiji . So that means they were all lived together in Moturiki Lomaiviti, Fiji at some point. The rest of the 1608 potteries found on that 1 single site of Uluibau Moturiki were unmatched. Because they came through the Burotu Empire trades nd businesses from around the world. Moreover there were 89 Lapita sites in total on the Moturiki region. Their 90th site was that Burotu Empire stone fort on that Moturiki reef Fiji. About 60 % of Nan Madol stones were found out scientifically to be magnetic and foreign stones to Pohnpei. While only 40% were taken from the Pohnpei quarry over the mountains of Pohnpeii. Those 60% magnetic stones were shipped from the Burotu Empire stone city of Davetalevu-Vunuku reef, Moturiki island Fiji. So the next time you go to Pohnpeii tell them to stop overcharging you guys. Because Nan Madol was not theirs by origin but shipped over from the Burotu(Pulotu) Empire magnetic stone fort of Davetalevu to Vunuku , Moturiki reef, Fiji in the South Pacific.

Wow very nise travel to Philippines 💖👍🎉🎉🎉

It’s the Philippine governments fault for letting foreigners own businesses establishment in Boracay. They should have strict rules about non Filipino citizen owning a businesses and real estates inside Philippines.

my cousin thomas passed away two months ago... RIP brther

you know the feeling when a girl acts very kind to you treats you well and when things seem going so smooth and you fall in love and she leavs the city thats how i feel. where are you?

A stern hung rudder is essential for an ocean going vessel

Your table would have made a good rudder

I would have used a door from the shower or toilet or even the floor but it pays to carry a spare or marine ply cut sealed and ready to go when needed

Y’all r so lucky to sail this is so beautiful videos ⛵️⚓️

Sad that they seem to have ended their posts. I enjoyed their content. It’s the end of 2023 & I hope they are both doing well.

must be great escape from all the madness that's happening now in gaza , some parts of europe and the rest of the western world.

This places amazing!!!

There were is cold??

Don't eat burger nut make ur teeth come black night l9ss ur teeth??

I was boring that 8sland with my mom???

What a sad dive. All the colors of the sea bottom life is gray and dull. There should be vibrant colors all over the place, instead it shows an increasingly dead environment. So sad.

Wow Sailor 🥳🥳👍

Are you guys finished sharing the adventure?

Are you not sailing anymore?

How and where do you "check-in" with authorities when arriving by sailboat?

Actually that was a jail in the middle of the first structure not a tomb.

He shouldn't have been chewing that disgusting betel nuts especially talking to you guys. So unprofessional.

I admire your adventurous spirit, so brave and skilled. That was almost piracy that you were charged to go ashore! Huh...I lived on ponapae island as a child in the late 60's. There were no roads to nan madol then. The boat trip was rugged, I was told, so I never saw it. Kusaie was my favorite island. I think you'll be treated well there if you ever go again. Thanks for sharing.❤

Thanks for sharing - good learning experience for us all. Those fin keel boats don't track at all without rudder. You were lucky that it snapped where it did and did't end up taking water

It's a Grumman Albatross. The Philippines Air Force used to fly them. Don't know what happened to this one. You were close with the wingspan - 96 ft 8 in (29.46 m).

Hi. What is name of black matirials in tube, that he put on echolot before installition? Thanks

You two are precious. Love the way you explain the reality of challenges at sea and how you handled each situation.

You two are a great Team. Love your videos.

Try Marvel Mystery Oil as a penetrant for nuts bolts and couplers. I have had good luck with it.

Did you see any other sailboats or find marinas that have sailboats?

It makes me sad that you didn't get the full experience of my home. I could have arranged for you to meet with the king and much more.

Miss my home

Thats the rear end of a Mitsubishi G4M "Betty" Bomber.

It looks like gunung Padang in west Java Indonesia

2 years since the last video and they are still collecting from 29 patrons?

Get to the point 👉. I don't care about ALL your other chit chat. I only want to see Nan Madol! DAMN it 😂! *Star review of your trip! In my opinion 🤣

Make history up as you go along. The natives don't know they make it up as well.

That’s pretty sad how you got ripped off! I love Pohnpei, but the last time I was there was back in ‘93/‘94, the people were really nice, and would take care of you, but time has changed. I know this video is 2 years old, but next time check out Palau, Guam, and Saipan (CNMI) 🙏🏻☺️

I check this channel every month or three to see if there was an update. I hope that they are doing well and just said screw it to the youtube thing.

My family have been wondering , what's new with you ? Do you still vlog ? - from PHILIPPINES 😊
