2023 Island hopping on a sailing kayak EP 1 

Good to see you back!..:), .. stay safe and l Look forward to the rest of your trip.

Love your videos mate, I'm watching it for the second time now. It is amazing how fast those beasts goes. I also carry a lot of stuff on my camping trips... My yak does't have that huge load capacity ( Siren XL by Dream Kayaks) nor that stability, What worked out for me were those blue barrels that stores imports grains and supplements, you can find them cheap and they really keeps everything dry. My playground here is the west coast of the south island in NZ... it can be very rough so I frequent go for a swim, can't afford have my sleeping system wet in the winter. I use those three barrels that are lined up next to my hammock when camping , like a bench or a bed side table, food, electronics, tools ( don't forget the pee bottle) everything there to maximise recovery/laziness. Got this idea from Shug ( YT hammock guy) when i saw him making his breakfast without getting up from the hammock🤔🤯. I do recommend it😁

Love it. Like the bow shots. Keep the videos coming!

cool stuff

Wohooo! He is back :D

I love this mate. Just got a sailing kayak of my own and keen to do trips like this.

Great trip. Nice video.

Heyyy There,,, Your Back! Great News :)

Happy crow somewhere- one took my bacon breakfast right out of the frying pan. I went without breakfast that day. bucken funch of crows.

Was just thinking to myself, when is he gonna post another video! Great work.

The Man is back !!!! 11 days trip sounds super awesome, looking forward to the next episodes of that expedition! Take care brother!

Glad your Back! Great video! Can't wait for more. 😊

Great jump in production quality.! Very entertaining. Keep it up.

I live vicariously through this channel :) I wish I could find a used AI or TI in good shape ;-P

Great work, Mark! Would love to join you on one of these trips now I've officially retired!! Do you run through your current camera setup on a later video? Looking really sharp, as others have said!!

I used to work for a company that made front spray skirts for TI’s and AI’s. It looks like they would have been great for this trip.

Great stuff. Always enjoy your videos.

Im still amazed that you are able to take that much gear on your sailing adventures. Good to see you again my friend.

Love your channel! Looking at a 2022 Hobie TI for sale $6200 with trailer. Hopefully I can take some video of some lakes here in Nebraska. Fair winds to you!

Awesome, I can't wait to see the rest of the trip! I don't think I've seen the black profile frames on the akas before, did you fabricate those to hold the solar panel and other gear? Any chance you can post pictures / specs / weight?

New camera? - colours look more vibrant this trip

Love your work Mark . You have a fantastic channel. It’s a shame it was such a rough start for the others . Man those boats look close to there load limits. What sort of weight are you at ?

there's a lot of your face appearing all the time in the video instead of filming track, nature and the landscape if you want to admire yourself buy a mirror or change the title of the video to filming myself and a little bit of other things
