Smooth Sailing in the Cook Strait (with dolphins!) 

It's impossible not to smile at the dolphins scene. What an amazing experience. And what a difference that wind noise cancelling material made. Thank you!

Hi Dominic, I’m loving all your adventures. Great stuff. Keep going. I just realised that your name for her is actually a perfect response to the one Penny and I gave her, 34 years ago. “Imagine - Yes Let’s.” Bon Voyages et Bon chance, Mick C.

You should totally do a cooking while sailing show - maybe not full-time though. Seems I learn something new in every video. Thanks for sharing!

Another great video Dominic. Keep em comin mate! Love the fact that your Pahi, stood alongside the road for so long, is now doing exactly what it was designed to do, great save. Kudos!

Very nice trip! Thank you. Fun to see two bananas sailing.

Wow, so cool the shot of the dauphins. The wind noise didn't bother me (used to sailing) but it's better.

Great footage of your Pahi. Thanks for posting, please keep it up 👍🏽

Groovy work with the stick thingy and the toupee on the phone thingy also groovy

Loving those shots looking at the boat underway from ahead! My favourite sailing/Wharram channel😀

Thanks for the wind noise reduction! I really can enjoy your videos even more 😊

Pleasant sailing Dom. 💖🌊🐉. Where are you now? Did you see the Auroras last night. Pretty spectacular even in Central Tauranga. But with 8 class flares in the last few days, the biggest yet less than 24hrs ago, the worst is yet to come. I've had reports of Grid problems experienced in the lower south island. Internet is certainly wonky right now. 😬👍

always like watching your show keep it coming Dominic

Quite clearly, the Hot Cross Buns did there magic... Nice passage... I saw you in Nelson on the mud adjacent to the Mai tai river mouth. Next time I'll come say hello...

Glad you had a smooth passage. Enjoyed the sailing footage, seeing how you rig and sheet the sails is interesting.

Nice run up to Welly Dominic!!! The kite repair looks very good, very skilled flying the kite without constantly trimming. You have quite the inventory of kites!!!

Great job on the hot cross buns Dominic!

Hey dominic. Nice sailing, nice scenery. Keep it up, man!

Good stuff. That blue sail looks nice all filled with wind. Nice scenery. I grew up by the ocean but my family never had a boat either. I just received my captain’s lic in the states. I had to work for other people on their boats. Can’t wait to have my own to work/live on. Those rolls look to be crunchy.

Nice work Dom 👍😋 Great footage of the trip. Sorry I didn’t get a chance to say hi this time around in Nelson. Next time brother 😃 Have a safe trip north and good luck with the planned mods to the interior of the boat that you were telling me about when you get up there. Keep up the great work on your videos 🏴‍☠️🤙🏼😋 Kia Kaha 👊

Yes- Let’s - You are not alone when you have dolphins with you! Xxx

Enjoyed your video, thank you. Look forward to the next episode...

Enjoyed your video. Yes the sound is much better. Great! Cheers, Craig

Thank you, it is good to see Wellington from the perspective of sea level. Practically all the times I have arrived or left Wellington is by plane, more often than not it is a bit “frisky”.

That was a great watch mate definitely something I'm interested in getting into offshore sailing

I love your videos Dominic Keep them coming

Great Wharram sailing !

Great upload. More dolphins please lol.

Another great video, I look forward to the next.

Hot cross buns with extra carbon, yummo. My crossing of Cook Straight on the ferry was smooth as, but i have seen really knarly pictures. Your vid proves that cats keep moving even in light breeze. Cruising chute with a sock is the single-handers light airs special weapon.

beeeautiful dolphin shots

Awesome video bro. Great to see you had a safe passage. Mauri Ora 🖖🏾

Thanks for another great video. Very inspiring!

Inspiring mate, thanks for sharing where you learnt. I'm on the fence on a trailer sailer now... Could be the start of something!

You're my favorite RU-vidr so I always look forward to seeing "Yes Let's" sail around the other side of the world from me. Your videos are real and insightful and I'm learning sailing through your struggles, so thanks!! Keep em coming!!

Great planning 👍

Fresh baked goods and sailing. Perfect! The dead cat worked well. Keep the videos coming.

Hunger makes the best chef ;) I reckon we can deal with the fluff, the improved audio in this video is much appreciated!

Nice footage of your trip in light winds. Sometimes difficult for me to hear what you are saying, but the images are very realistic 👍👍

Love all your content but my heart is with Waimea. I am following on the f.b. proa sites. Just got my marine plywood to build my own, but I’m slow.

Great video. The dead cats seemed to work well. Nice to learn a bit about your sailing history, living on a trailer sailer would've been hard! What would you not go sailing without?

Good job mate.

Southerly is definitely one of those confusing terms. It actually means, pertaining to the south. A southerly wind is one blowing from the south. Whereas if you travel in a southerly direction, you are going south!

Love watching you sail, Dominic. Thanks for posting these.

I really enjoy your videos and find it fascinating how you are able to navigate so well. The only negative thing I can say is that when you pan your camera, on my tablet anyway, it appears jumpy and out of focus. But I am still very glad to see your videos and look forward to the next one, cheers.

Awesome video. Cool to here you were liveaboard on a trailer sailer. I am thinking this might be the door to Freedom for myself

Well, you got your wish. An uneventful sail. But we still enjoyed the video 😊 Must be time to go for a hoon on the proa?

At least the tarp held up this time.

More please, great to see you out there doing it

Those Hot Cross buns will keep you going!! Great video

I reckon you are getting your monie's-worth out of that cruising 'shute, it drives you for a good percentage of you're miles. Maybe start looking for a replacement, 'coz you'll miss it when it blows out! BTW, the pronunciation of Beaufort; not sure if its a NZ peculiarity (in which case ignore me) but back on Blighty we say 'bowfert' where 'bow' is emphasised and is the archery kind not the front of a boat. And I wholeheartedly agree that for the sailor who likes to observe and assess the conditions instead of relying on instruments, it is just the right kind of low tech info that is needed.

Some crispy hcb's.

Damn thats a lot of comments here on this vid! I'll add to it.. great video!

nice "dominic drone" footage

again, was amazing to watch :-) ...just like last time. I wonder what kind of activities do you do while sailing straight for maybe hours and days during good weather? do you have a laptop with you? ...seems you definitely have some big solar panels on board

Nice!

More please..

Cool.

👍!!!

Great video mate ,do you have a Facebook page?

Call it Sailing (with dolphins!)

Thanks for the vid. You were complaining about spinnakers and the Bermudan rig, what rig do you think would be better? Junk rig? Having stays might make it tricky 🙂.

How big is your catamaran?

What's your engine set-up Dom? Are you still using that little electric outboard?
