Sailing Across the Pacific - A month at sea - Sailing the Pacific Episode 17
In this episode we sail 4210 miles non-stop from Panama to Fatu Hiva in the Marquesas. A journey taking over a month, our biggest challenge yet.
We are a British couple who set off from England in 2016 to fulfill our dream of sailing around the world on our 37ft sail boat, Florence. Along the way we share the live aboard lifestyle with the highs and lows of travelling around the world by boat, our own little tiny house. Boat life out at sea on the ocean and off the grid.

One of the loveliest couples imaginable, and an absolute inspiration to potential cruisers.

@papanono2463 4 года назад

1 millions views on this video & only 50 something thousand subscribers. Come on folks let RU-vid pay these folks. We get to travel by video for free. Hope to meet you guys one day. Great work & fun. Awesome job with videos.🙏

@xenu-dark-tony 3 года назад

Totally agree mate, RU-vid is yet another colossal corporation fleecing ordinary people and probably paying peanuts in taxes. The world is growing very sick of the deeply sinister and constant flow of these corporations that appear as if from nowhere, and nearly always come from Silicon Valley.

I just enjoy you loving two. If I am not 84 , I love your adventure in my dream. You make me feel young at heart again. Just beautiful.

The wildlife of the world won't be happy until you two have finished your trip. You walk, ride stealth bikes, sail your tender and boat and quite frankly the wildlife are sick and tired of having the bejesus scared out of them as you sneak around. Fantastic video. Thanks guys.

Just finished binge-watching all your videos. Nice to see a young cruising couple that actually knows how to sail. Great, well-edited, no non-sense videos, with lots of sailing. Sailing dinghy? Brilliant! 😃

I LOVE it !! i am preparing to leave in 2 years, its so refreshing to see someone sailing at my "pace" i like that you are doing it without this HUGE budget or sponsored sailboat , keep up the awesome videos !

@SailingYachtFlorence 6 лет назад

Thanks, although if you know of anyone that wants to give us a huge budget or sponsorship we are all ears ;-) Truthfully, being self funded sets us free. No requirement to make regular videos or blog posts so we just make them when we want to (hence the current break from videos whilst we have been focusing on just living this amazing adventure). Good luck with your preparations, you will never feel completely ready so just set a date and make sure you actually set off. It is so worth it. M&A

@edrosenberger6947 6 лет назад

Nicely filmed passage.....I enjoy these long ones. I liked that you two took your time and didn't try to rush thru the doldrums by running that engine, like a stink boat. I also enjoyed this adventure more due to the loving way you guys treated each other.....thank you for this neat video.....

@SailingYachtFlorence 6 лет назад

Hi Ed, Thanks for your kind words, we are lucky to have such a good boat which sails well even in light winds.

@jeffvw1994 3 года назад

@@johnesposito6068 A drifter tacks down on the bow and doesn't need a pole to hold out as apposed to a spiniker.

@johndonaldson5126 6 лет назад

These are my favorite types of cruising videos - at sea. I live on land and have traveled quite a bit so cruisers videos of their time on land are much less interesting. I'd live to make a long passage like you made. Good job on the video editing.

@SailingYachtFlorence 6 лет назад

Thanks John Donaldson, glad you enjoyed it. The next video runs through a day at sea during our crossing so hopefully you will enjoy that too. We live on a boat and haven't visited the majority of places we are seeing so still find land pretty exciting!

I contracted bucolic when I was seven. It can be quite dangerous to a little boy, but I was told it was best to get it before you go into publicity.

@user-hb8be5wb4q 4 года назад

I admire your skills, both of you. This is a great feat you have accomplished. I’m just not the sailing sort. I’ve had a few boats, but nothing I could sail. And thus is my love of flying, in my younger years. Now, at 75 I’m not going to five up my electric recliner. But, I am grateful that I have the opportunity to sail with you. I’ll sub, high five, and off we go. Thanks for the video and more that you shared!

@niceguy2171 6 лет назад

Very cool, and glad I've come across your channel, that is quite a crossing, and have always wanted to get to the Marquesas as she said, have friends who have, and friends who are going on a 51' next spring. Please film a lot at the islands, thank you, and fair winds and following seas to ya!

@SailingYachtFlorence 6 лет назад

Thanks niceguy217, I hope your friends enjoy the Marquesas as much as we did (although the rest of French Polynesia is incredible too). We would definitely recommend making landfall in Fatu Hiva. We have a couple of videos coming up about our time in the islands.

How did it go?

@RobertLarsonSF 3 года назад

@@count7340It was a memorable event for me ... wonderful. It took us longer than anticipated at 39 days. We just didn't get the needed winds. Three of us crew altogether -- strangers as well. The skipper is Swedish, I'm American, and we had a Norwegian on board as well. I even celebrated my 70th birthday on the journey. Doesn't look like I mentioned in my original email, but the boat, Yemaya, is on youTube channel Knot Vikings.
