- Though the Marquesas Islands had captivated us with their beauty, it was time to set sail on the 500 nautical mile passage to the Tuomotus. When we arrived we found islands that were different from the Marquesas in nearly every way. Turquoise lagoons lined by white sand beaches awaited us, and we found beautiful coral reefs surrounding the palm fringed islets.
Julia is a traditional wooden boat, constructed to the Ingrid design by William Atkin. She was built in 1960 of fir and cedar on oak frames, and has proven to be a capable blue water crusing boat for voyaging the world's oceans.
Our dinghy is skin-on-frame and was designed by Dave Gentry.

Am a blue water sailor myself and this is easily my absolute favourite channel on CZcams. Lovely people in wonderful places. Skilled sailors and no click bait in beautifully filmed and edited programs. As good as it gets anywhere. Well done and thank you.
amen
Yep, great relaxing editing with relaxing music. No onboard drama.
No clickbait, no soft porn, and no dramas. Woodenboat cruising at its best and pukka weathered bronze to boot! Glad to see your subscriber numbers are up, well deserved.
Well said.
They don't know or tell you that water always is flat.
Classy sailing channel…fabulous well maintained yacht and superb videography
This is the best of the best. Also appreciate the music and the classic sailor's journal commentary. Nothing else like it on CZcams!
Right! I am sick of channels showing t&a to get views. It's either good content or not. Great channel!
One of the best real sailing channels on CZcams. Thank you.
Absolutely next level…
Awesome sailing and sights. Beautiful scenery. Very relaxing. 👍❤️
Quality over quantity shows and is greatly appreciated
With such experiences you are blessed from God.. Regards from Netherlands 🇳🇱.
Love the way you show things with minimal talking, giggling or showing off for no reason.
Love your old style classic boat too..!! 👍👏👌😎
Tuomotu are probably some of the best Pacific cruising there is. You do them justice. Just beautiful.
A voyage through the Tuamotu Archipelago is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that promises unforgettable experiences and lifelong memories in one of the most breathtaking corners of the world.
Greetings from Seattle. I love your channel, and I have been obsessively watching for your next episode.
This is my new favorite channel on CZcams. Ironically, despite my extreme care, I contracted Covid after 3 years invictus. So, while at home in the mountains of Rio de Janeiro, I boarded your lovely boat and took a trip in the vast Pacific Ocean. Thank you for the wonderful ride!
feliz dia amigo me embarco hoy
There are no word to describe the beauty you are showing us. Well done, can’t wait for more sailing, diving and exploring
What keeps me returning to your voyage scenes is there is something authentic about the boat you built, the trueness of your sailing experience, and the essential rhythm of your passage making. Thank you so much for sharing!
I've noticed some other comments below and totally agree, this is the best sailing channel on CZcams. I think it is due to the very good narration, excellent use of music, and the footage being raw and to the point - it makes you dream of buying your own boat and setting sail. Many other channels are overly commercialised and focused less on sailing and more on making money - which is their prerogative. Please keep to this format, don't change, you will be rewarded in the long run.
Yours is such an “Underrated” Channel❤️ Continue to Stay Safe and Enjoy 😎
I'm loving this. Living vicariously with you guys. My blue water sailing days are over as I've aged out of this kind of adventure, but your videos are so laid back and fun to watch . Thanks
Absolutely correct comment! I am the same.
Blue colours and soft whispering waves and calm music...soothing on my nerves tonight...not to mention all the fishes
We've been waiting to see this video. Thank you for sharing your adventure of these beautiful islands created by God
Always a treat when Madison publishes
I know you guys are right in the middle of it, and I am sure you have moments that you feel you could capture the beauty of your surroundings better though I don't know how but I have to ask one question. Do you take a moment after you've edited a video and reflect on just what a masterpiece you've created time after time? Your videos surpass my consciousness and touch my soul. Thank You so very much for taking us along. Can't wait for Dad to board! Put him to work! lol 😂Thanks again!......................⛵⛵⛵
By far my one if not the best sailing CZcams channels of all. Thank you again for sharing such wonderful moments in your journey!
I don't have words other than thoroughly, thoroughly magnificent. Happy and safe sailing ⛵️
Hear! Hear! Best sailing channel on YT. Wooden boats are so much more aesthetically pleasing. The narration is great: not pretentious and very informative. Every shot is a postcard
Such a beautiful boat, doing what she was made for, sailing the world. You can almost feel her Joy.
Beautiful islands. Lovely underwater scenery. Most of us will never visit them personally. So nice to have arm chair visits with you.
Great camera work and editing. Nicely put together.
I was going to say the same thing... : ⁰ )
I absolutely fell in love with this beautiful boat. Have a nice and save trip.
I enjoyed this very much…nice footage with nice serene music that gave lots of depth to the nice scenery..
This is real blue water cruising done by a lovely couple..Thanks for sharing..
I was trying to figure out some constructive criticism; couldn't find anything. Absolutely awesome boat and sailing clips. Beautifully done snorkeling camera work. You two put out very good quality videos. Thank you for your effort and thank you for sharing as you write chapters in the adventures of your lives. Be safe and fair winds to you !
Bravo Zulu - I like the quiet, peaceful style of your videos. They have an older “documentary” feel to them.
The comment section has hit all of the points. This is a great channel for its authenticity, videography, and lack of commercialization of the channel. I also find myself very at peace and at ease when watching. I believe it is due to the narration and the personalities of you both. My favorite channel regardless of how frequently you post. Enjoy your travels!
Whitney, you are so beautiful and that smile, wow.... Jonathan is a bloody LEGEND... your narrating is captivating 😊. I love the boat, it's so cool. I'm a new subscriber all the way from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦. Blessings 🙌.
This is exactly the pace that suits me. The images, not too much talk. just perfect. Merci!
Really loving the videos you make. A beautiful format.
I can see from your faces that you are happy.
Keep safe !
Wow how beautiful is that place.. awesome video guys...safe passage.😁👍⚓⛵🇦🇺
You both look so at one with your life. Peaceful. Happy. Beautiful imagery that is allowed to tell its own story. Such a joy to watch. I wish I had known about floating the chain. It would have saved me many problems in the Cook Islands
Muchas gracias por explicarnos sus aventuras, me parecen de otros mundos.....
Thank you both so much for sharing your beautiful experiences.x
Incredible video work throughout. The Tuomotus look absolutely amazing.
What a marvelous adventure!
Best channel for capturing the true essence of sailing and exploration. Well done our surrogate travelers of the mind.
Your videos are amazing 😊👌💖 congratulations
She
Pure class, so refreshing to see this from two genuine and informative sailors.
Congratulations! Your narrative format allows the pictures to tell much of the story- without the irritating, amateur and artificial faux interviews so many videographers rely on.
Another beautiful video. What I love best about this channel is that, technology aside, this could just as easily be filmed in 1963 as 2023. I hope you both enjoy your time in the S Pacific .
Thank you for sharing it feels like I'm there 😎😊🌍😇
Love your videos. Sometimes I watch them twice. I’m a wooden boat owner. Your featuring the boa😢t is wonderful. Keep them coming.
I was so excited to see a new episode from you guys!! Another great one. By far one of the best sailing channels and with a lovely boat.
I was down in Mo'orea this last month and thought I saw your boat in Cook's Bay. Looking forward to seeing the Tahiti episodes.
Yours is the only sailing channel I go back to watch again!
.....uuuufff !!! Impresionante !!! Es un trabajo de joyería ! El muchacho, mínimo es un Oficial de la Marina de algún país del Primer Mundo !! La chica....es una crack !! Hace la segunda mano a mano !! La Mujer Maravilla....le quedó chiquitita !! gracias por tanto !!!
Okay I got a confession , I was the stowaway -- in the spirit I'm right there with you. 😁
Смотрю из Западной Сибири:)
I've watched many sailing adventure videos on CZcams. These videos are the best. The cinematography is outstanding. Well done! Keep the videos coming.
My dream... South Pacific by boat... me just relaxing
Really applaud you do not profane the quiet beauty of the atolls and islands by rowing or sailing to shore rather than buzzing in with an outboard motor. Good on you!
The best 33 minutes I've watched on YT for a long time. Happy safe travelling to you both.
Twenty years ago my wife and I married in Rarotonga and spent 4 days in Aitutaki another atoll. Memories flooded back!
Best wishes from the UK.
The swimming with sharks got me; Doesn’t matter how safe they are I just can’t do that!
Jonathan’s grey shirt with the circle is cool!
Whitney, It's absolutely impossible not to smile seeing you smiling so naturally
Thank you both 😊
The best! Fantastic! 😻😍
How relaxing to watch😊
When you get to the open sea you are truly on your own - it must feel fabulous.
hello my name is castro i'm from brazil, i love waking up every morning and watching your episodes, it's amazing and relaxing, one day i'd like to live this experience too.
you are great. We love you very much. My wife and I enjoy watching your videos. Greetings from Türkiye
Mesmerizing! Way to go!
It's been a miserable winter in the Pacific Northwest and it's not over yet. My cutter rig Ingrid is tied up at the dock waiting to sail the Salish Sea this summer.
Great to see you living your dream!
Thank you for sharing your time and reminding us just how beautiful being alive can be😊🙂💕
It has been a long waiting time but it has been worth!
Thanks for sharing your videos and good winds !!
The only channel where I watch each episode multiple times. The editing is probably the best I've seen, along with Sailing Florence.
Always look forward to your videos and so glad to see a new one! You are easily the best sailing channel on YT. Keep at it! Can’t wait to see what new adventures the Society Islands bring. FWFS.
beautiful❤💙💜 thanks🌴🍌🍍guys🍍⛵⚓🐟🌊
What a joy, to watch your vids, they get better and better......hmmm...I`m dreaming of your boatlife in this great part of the world.
Watched a lot of sailing vids, you both are so natural and for me one of the best, big compliment!
Bernie from Germany
Well done guys... what a great experience..
Absolutely love your segments. It reminds me of sailing the unspoiled Grenadines 60 years ago.❤
My mother is from the tuams ! I miss tahiti and her islands so much… i sailed the other way, from huahine to hawaii and 6 months after, sailed to vancouver. Hitch hiked through usa from port angeles all the way to new jersey took a flight to europe and fonded a family there. Can’t wait to retire back to simple living polynesia
A banquet of tasteful music and scenery, with pleasant commentary. Nice catches of Nibiru on the horizon with it's red iron oxide dust and rock tails reddening the sky. Nibiru's iron rock tails are soon to destroy Earth and the first of them are arriving early March
Love the pre-CZcams celeb style you guys have. So Classic!
You guys have one of the best produced vlog on this subject and a beautiful boat also. Best of luck. Cheers.
Pip makes it look so easy!
Absolutely best cruising video. Well shot, edited and great music. Used to have a gaff rigged schooner. This is the dream. Thank you.
10 out 10… great video. Making my working life unbearable
So beautiful Thanks for sharing
love it, thanks for sharing your journey - dream absolutely a dream
Gorgeous sailing vessel, beautiful nature filming, as well as informative and exciting. Stay safe and stay groovy.
Cheers from Poland!
Wow, just wow what a gorgeous video. I’ve been following since the bandsaw rebuild, but this one blew me away. “Simply amazing”, I’ll say! Thanks for sharing
Lovey, sublime. Somehow the natural wood on the boat makes it more perfect. Sigh… I will sleep well now and put my wave sound generator on and dream of the sea. Fair winds
No doubt you will treasure not only the memories of the Tuamotu Islands, but also those great shots of Julia silhouetted against the backdrop of the atoll, coral reef, sunsets etc. Julia is so evocative of an earlier age of South Pacific trading sailing vessels (OK, they were usually schooners not ketches!). She looks authentic in that setting compared with the plastic cats etc! I bet you get envious glances from some of the other sailors...
Tinned corn beef, tinned New Zealand mutton, cabin bread, rice, onions, bananas hanging in the rigging, pawpaw, pamplemousse, custard apples, Danish tinned butter, catching rain in the mainsail, a lifestyle I’ll never forget. An ocean so blue you’d be amazed. Lucky people.
And a tiller !! Be still my heart!
As another bluewater sailor trainee, I agree with many of your viewers, that it is refreshing to watch a show sans porn, that focuses on quality cinematography and things of interest to actual sailors. My wife and I just subscribed. We wanted to note how beautiful your classic wood boat is. Imagine she creeks and floats like real wood? I remember one of my early night sails on a friend's Cheeloy. Wooden boats just feel right. We (kind of sadly) are stuck on glass. However, the maintenance I do not regret living without. The Tuamotus are about as beautiful tropical atolls get. Nice work, great channel. We'll be watching. Fair Trade Winds and little in the way of any seas, to you both. (Dorian and Cathy)
Great stuff I liked la vagabond. This is far superior, it's like watching this old house of sailing.
Amazing! Thank you so much folks for creating these beautiful videos… watching truly calms my spirit and gives me joy 😊
Huge contrast between the Marquesas and the Tuomotus. -I can survive a hurricane in the Marquesas but enjoy the beaches in the Tuomotus..
Incredible videos, incredible boat. Thanks for sharing!. Love your beautiful classic yacht, and the superb photography..
Well done. My sister and brother-in-law circumnavigated in the '70s and '80s in a Lapworth 36 - another woodie, so I know the work it takes to keep your boat in good shape. Keep up the good work, you've done a fine job. Thank you
I can't believe you have so little of subscribers! Your Videography, nice narative and real beauty of your travel deserve better! Wish you it and 3ft under water!
April already haven’t seen a post hopefully things are well! Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Beautiful visuals. Very nice music. Just the right amount of speaking. Perfect. Thanks.
I find your documentary style very refreshing and informative, no extra drama just the real thing. keep up the great work.
Very beautiful vlog... sailing lifestyle dream 😊
I'm not a sailor... I took a corse n raced a few times.
This March I'm meeting up with a friend , and sailing to Alaska. Then we will see.
We plan on doing a year or two adventuring.
Thank you for sharing
