We have enjoyed all your videos. Our favorite was the French Canals and this series is just as good. We enjoy seeing parts of the world from our living room that we will never see in real life. Thank you for the hours of enjoyment.
High frequency are a bit tiny. With wind and adverse condition, it doesn't have the frequency responses of the other mic. It is not that bad though! Just being picky...
I am not a sailor, am pretty much befuddled by all of it…yet I so much enjoy your episodes and commentary. I was struck by your comment about being on a boat gives you the feeling of being ‘centered’. In my previous life as a corporate pilot, every moment off the airplane left me with an unidentified feeling of wondering when the beeper would go off, preventing an ultimate sense of relaxation. But once finally airborne and in cruise ‘above it all’, I knew ‘god’s in his heaven, all’s right with the world.’ Corny, yes, but I think that is quite the same as you felt….cheers..
I'm loving this series in Australia. I've never seen this part of the country before. Everyone sails around the coast but never like this. Just beautiful.
Just remember to do the stimgray shuffle when you are on the beaches around Pittwater. If you shuffle you scare them and swim away, of you stomp you can tread on one. If you do the latter keep the camera close as you will look like Jesus walking on water at a very excited pace.
@@masamuelson And that's why I've heard there's so many critters in Australia that either want to bite, sting, eat, or generally make your life miserable that swimming in ANY water is out of the question. Those little tiny jellyfish that you can't see but the sting is so poisonous that it will kill you before you can get to the Hospital. How does anybody swim in any part of the beaches around there🙄🤔🤔🤔 But I'd still like to see the country and New Zealand.
G’day T & N Not sure if anyone has told you BUT the pink moorings are 24 hour courtesy moorings, Yellow ones I think are National Parks Orange I think are Club & Red are Commercial stay with the Pink ones or just grab one & wait . Now can you tell some of the NON LOCALS that we swim just about anywhere in OZ. Granted far North there are some Croc issues & yes The real jelly fish in the summer months but apart from that NO ISSUES, mind you if it keeps our waters & beaches just for the Aussies then I can live with that. ENJOY look forward to our next catch up
Chris Kubara just stay away from the little blue ringed octopus 🐙 But this is offset by being able to see life no where else available like dugong or sea dragons.
Fell asleep watching RU-vid (it happens) and awoke literally laughing out loud at “I was told there would be bacon”! This needs to be on a t-shirt. Love your videos.
Enjoying it all, the Aussie scenery, the transition to multi-hull, your joy at being back on the water, at home, easier boat to sail , the more relaxed interaction between you two, the fun you both are having.....yes, thanks, it's a pleasure.
I ran into one of your videos because RU-vid suggested it, probably because I'd recently watched a bunch of yacht walk through's and you did a bunch of sailboat walk thru's I had enjoyed. I'd watched other sailing videos sporadically but yours has been the 2nd couple I've actually enjoyed watching and binge watching. The other couple was the Wynns. I started watching sailing videos years ago (intermittently) for the look at strange lands or learning to sail info, but they lost my interest after 2 or 3 videos. Glad you are maintaining the "watch the scenery" aspect of your travel/sailing videos, when others got too involved instead with boring daily life with the family or wasteful self promotion.
Loved the video. I'm from England. I've spent 3 whole weeks in Australia, 1 week in Melbourne and 2 in Cairns. I learned that you need a lifetime to know Australia. I learned that in Queensland (or Cairns anyway) if you want good food get a barbecue. I learned that the rainforest is every bit as amazing as the Great Barrier Reef but no one talks about it. Once again I loved the video. Thank you.
You are trying to describe something that you just can't describe. But, I get it totally. YOU are now in YOUR element. It's like coming home, but even more so. I admit, I didn't notice any difference, but backstory; I had a bad day in the army and lost my hearing for several days and never got it back totally, lol! honestly, I have enjoyed you wherever you have traveled, I feel very comfortable watching you interact between yourselves and in your environment. You are my kind of people!
It's so refreshing to see another tropical location other than the Bahama's... What's even more refreshing is you two... The grumpy face killed me... The sound check was poetry and Nick, if that 9 volt battery was fully charged you'd have an instant Afro...
MOB now has a new meaning ! Lol. From your last Atlantic crossing, the European sailing, and now Australia, the uniqueness of your adventures are absolutely wonderful.
Your Australia series is going in the direction that other top sailing channels seem to be departing from. I love seeing the sailing and discovery of new, beautiful places. I'm not not very into what family life with a baby onboard looks like from day to day. Thank you so much, I've subscribed to your channel.
Yes, thank you, I am very happy to follow this current adventure. To me, both of you seem even more relaxed and content on the cat now than before on #1.
The peace is rolling back some years off your faces. That was what the sailing adventure was about if I remember. Taking the crazy rushed world and slowing it down so we can enjoy life. Happy Trails
I love your vids. And it’s brilliant that you’re in our backyard (Pymble, NSW). Funny about you being at The Basin. My daughter just went for camp there 3 weeks ago and the wallabies broke into her tent and stole her food in the middle of the night! So yeah, we Aussies don’t take the wild life for granted. Shiz is dangerous in Australia. So lovely to have you cruising our backyard. Love everything you do, loving that you’re here at last!
I believe there's something primeval about our attachment to water, Nick. I also find that I need to be on or near the ocean at least once a week as it relieves the stresses that build up. Looking forward to the day when I can make it a more permanent existence...
Been watching your channel for some time now, one of the things you really get right is the balance of talking to imagery/soundtrack. It's really lovely. Well done and as an expat Aussie living in the USA the last 20 years, I'm also loving this sailing Australian waters section. Reminds me of the extreme beauty of the home I've been missing.
Everyone I know who has been to Australia goes on & on about it's beauty. I agree, but the conversation is always based on Sydney. Thank you so much for taking us to AUTRALIA. As usual the music and the banter is spot on.
It is when the borders are open. Sadly the Australian government has a very negative attitude to its citizens overseas and has bolted the borders shut. Only country in the world effectively banning its citizens from returning.
I have to say the quality & footage in this season is amazing & very professional, loved it, well done. And can I just say in Nick's defence that's how we test our batteries, give's you a bad taste in your mouth but that's how we do it!
You guy’s are a breath of fresh air, beautiful couple. Australia is such a special country, and seeing it through your eyes, even more magical, loving your video’s.⚓️🐟⛵️🇦🇺☀️🐠🦞🦀
MOB Drill is always a good thing to practice, executing a perfect 'Williamson Turn" I hope Nick. Australia looks stunning guys. Thanks for this weeks adventure. Fair winds and following seas Ruby Rose.
Great to see you enjoying Pittwater. It’s a fantastic waterway. It looks like you’re at the Basin on a weekday - as it’s generally packed on a fri - sun. For those interested, the Tv show Home and Away is filmed at palm beach, which is on the opposite side of Pittwater waterway. Also, tour further up the Hawkesbury river, past America bay / refuge bay etc, there are countless beautiful bays to explore. And, head north, past Lion island, past Umina Beach and up into Brisbane waters. Another very beautiful waterway. Enjoy!!
Sailing our old home town is making me reminiscent!!! We now live near Noosa but still have a massive soft spot for the sandstone cliffs & bushland of Sydney & the NSW coastline. Great vid team ⛵⚓🤙✌
The Basin is one of my favourite places, love that you cannot drive in there. In summer it’s full of families enjoying healthy outdoor holidays. Reminds me of Australia from the past.
The videos in Australia look amazing. At some point, you need to do a 5 minute video on the upgrade and what tech was improve. Seems like the same great story in 4HD. Can't wait for the next episode.
We are from Canada, never been in Australia. We enjoy your channel and the fact that we are able to enjoy your discoveries with both of you. You are easy going and authentic that is why we always look forward to your postings .It makes us feel happy to see people that follow their dreams.
We use Sena SPH10 bluetooth headsets on our boat when needing to communicate without yelling. They work great for anchoring or setting sails. Well worth the money. If one of us is down below and the other on deck it makes it really easy to talk as if we were both in the same spot.
I just love your channel. Thank you. You seem to be louder on the cheap microphone, honestly ha ha. xx As we cannot travel ourselves due to restrictions and the stresses related to travel, your episodes are keeping me sane! I would just love to be onboard right now. How amazing for you guys.
I enjoyed the part where Nick expressed his feelings about being back on the water. He is in 'his happy place' as we call it. I hope he enjoys 'sailing a catamaran' on the open sea as much, too. That was his concern when you were contemplating the switch from a monohull- the feeling of being connected to the boat when sailing. I have a feeling that it will be 'different but good'.
