Getting Wrecked on Palm Island
Palm island is an Aboriginal community northeast of Townsville full of plane and shipwrecks from the past world wars. After a quick stop in Magnetic Island, we were soon captivated by this beautiful place.

Yeah such a crazy start to life and a journey to make it to adulthood 🐢
Love the spontaneous song, awesome!
Hahah yeah was laughing so much 😂

No, not homeless, they live on their boat, sea gypsies!
Fabulous episode, I loved the wreck dive, that was spectacular!
Hey, I see that you guys know Sage, I was following his videos and enjoying his adventures and then he suddenly disappeared about a year ago. There’s been nothing from him since , could you encourage him to do an update?
❣

I was born in Townsville 👍 Great place to be on the water.
Awesome! Yeah some beautiful islands and reefs off of Townsville 🪸🏝️⛵🐋
yo this looks like a horror scene from a movie with black stuff shooting up. You dont know where its coming from but it cant be good. when you have a bunch of black stuff just shooting up.
Hahah far out it was funny but yeah a bit of a horror scene for the white boat 😅
Great episode, you kept us guessing, who’s the kid! Your nephew sure knows how to catch a lot of fish !
Yeah that's my nephew, the only person more crazy about fishing is his father ! 🎣 Keeps him out of trouble and a fullfilling feeling being able to provide food for your family 🐟

Your videos are fabulous, the cinematography is awesome, underwater shots and drone footage alike, just excellent. I love having these vicarious visits to the great barrier reef and glimpses into the sailing life, what a treat. I am totally amazed that you don’t have thousands of viewers!
Wow what a special comment 💙 Thank you so much for the support and lovely feedback 🙏 We love what we do and are enjoying sharing it ⛵ We have lots of awesome new content on the way that we are really excited about and hope you enjoy 🏝️

Hey, thanks for the tour, I’m loving your videos and your chill vibe. What a great boat, can you tell us what brand and what size she is?
Hey so glad your enjoying our videos and we really appreciate the support 💙 The boat is 10.95 m a Whitehaven and a Mark Pescott design. Amazing boats with a great design that makes it quite fast ⛵
We used to do the eucalyptus thing 40 years ago when I was a kid, great to see you giving it a go, brings back great memories when I was Young. 🙏
Yeah works so well, my mum used to always do it with the oil when we were younger so was nice to do it with a fresh harvest 🌞
Every time you guys drops a new video i refer to the channel as horny Tawney nurse shark channel to the missus😅. Thanks for the videos🤘
Hahaha 🤣😂 that's fantastic! Thanks for the support and glad your enjoying the channel 🤙
I’m loving following your adventures, your mellow pace of life and your enjoyment of the natural world are really refreshing!
Glad you enjoyed the video 💙 Yeah it's amazing witnessing the positive effect having more time in nature has on people, including ourselves 🌞
This is surprising. I thought you guys would be eating fishes that you catch from the boat all day! Are you vegetarians?
@@Windward535 Yeah we definitely eat fish and other seafoods, I guess you would call it 'Catchatarian' 🐟
So stoked I came across you legend's channel. That was a rippa of a climb to a spectacular place for lunch🏞🙌
Awesome to have you aboard ! Thanks for the love we really appreciate the support 🙌 Lined up a few more peaks we would like to do on that beautiful island 🏝️
You are really beautiful honey😘😘
@OnceUponAReef Guys, you are the guides, presenting life and nature and practical knowledge of science in a way of “Intertwined Worlds of Adventure” etc. Following your video, finding that sharks could live around 400 Years!! I would compare this to Lauren Roerick, Scot Manley, Tibes, Marques Brownlee, Stefan Milo, Thao Huynh, just to name a few people like you, giving those intertwined, practical and inspirational hints and views of, let’s say, “What a Wonderful World”, but also demanding efforts.. y’know. I personally would never give the hope up to go to Antarctica, in a meaningful way. Sometimes, it’s not the place, but the ways leading to such places, different approaches, just little steps … what to do, how to deal with different conditions.. Kim Stanley Robinson f. e. is showing in his Sci-Fi that in a not so distant future many people would take part in such technically challenging situations, like you’re representing… I patiently waited a Year and was glad to see you continuing to work out these artistic ways to future lives; respectively diverse living beings, animals and plants, always necessary to pay attention, mindfulness 🧜♀🧜♂🏝🥂🌏🌎🌍⛵🛰🌌
Great video, Please be careful. 🙏

LOL get down brother!

We would definitely have to make some modifications to the boat. Where do you have in mind ? 🤔

Beautiful place 👍
Yeah we love it here and so much to explore! Nice lagoon you can hide your boat in too for bad weather
This place looks so peaceful.
It really is such a special place and a great social event when there are other yachts in the bay ⛵
where is poppy?where is jordan
Hello there from Kansas USA
@@lawrenceforbach2627 Ahoy there ! 👋
Do you have plans for sailing out to further away destinations? Eg Fiji French Polynesia and Hawaii?! Plenty of reefs to check out around all those islands
Yes would love to ! It's been such a great training ground in paradise along this coast. Learning the boat and how to fix everything as well as saving up to do more remote international trips ⛵ Have you been to any of those places ?
Calling that reef "decent" is a major under statement. The corals there look like they are on par with the great barrier reefs
Yeah we were blown away by the fringing reef on this island! Being a near coast island it is constantly faced with natural and anthropogenic influences but has fared better than other areas on the coast. Comparable to some parts of the Great Barrier Reef for sure 🪸
hey, poppy
Hello 👋
You two are cruisey sailors a nice relaxed style about yez I’m going to follow you I was around there not long ago nice vid
@@georgedrager-bluewaterdreamer Such a stunning spot, so glad you got the pleasure of visiting there ! Thanks so much , heaps more awesome videos coming your way !
you certainly do know how to show the best coast line and underwater shots . I would guess this is all done on a shoe string budget , which makes it all the better . You don't need a million dollars to be able to have your life style . Yes it would help , but I truly believe you are loving all what you do . This channel will get better and grow into a beautiful life . God I can waffle , all I'm trying to say is , great episode , truly look forward to your next episode .
@@bobbrown5529 wow thanks so much for sharing 🙏 yes we love this life style as it incorporates freedom and adventure with lots of challenges and learnings. You're so right, we don't have much money and just work at usual jobs along the way but this channel is for the love of it so truely appreciate the support from people like yourself. ⛵
If sharks could walk..
Not sure we understand this one ?
@@OnceUponAReef Exchanged experiences, or close encounters - like in the movie Avatar - you guys getting so close to them, I mean to the sharks.. (with all respect to their behavior ). So, if they could do such things, they would probably like to have your experience out there… in millions of years to come, who knows where evolution and mind would, could lead us.. without our very distant ancestors we were not here also :) :)
Cute turtles
Such an amazing start to a life journey ! So blessed to have been there when it began 🐢
Dream place
I can't wait to go back here ! Maybe next time you come !
