19 | Sailing The Yasawa Islands of Fiji
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 06. 2024
- Setting sail in our classic wooden boat, we cross nearly the entire breadth of Fiji to cruise in the Yasawa Islands. Leaving the lush forested island of Makogai, we sail the famous Bligh Waters to the drier leeward side of the Island group. In the Yasawa and Mamanuka islands we find friendly villages and spectacular coral reefs.
With the seasons changing, we start to think about another big ocean passage, looking to find safer latitudes to ride out the hurricane season.
Julia is a traditional wooden boat, built of cedar and fir on oak frames. She was built in 1960 to the Ingrid design by William Atkin. Her tender is built skin-on-frame to the Annabelle design by Dave Gentry.

You guys have the BEST sailing channel on CZcams by far, and I patiently await for each new post. I’m going through some rough waters, navigating life at a later stage, disabled, divorcing, and not so well off. Your videos are inspiring and uplifting, and bring joy and hope. I thank you both so very much for sharing your lives and adventures. Live life to the fullest, appreciate each other and what you have, and stay adventurous!
Bravo Zulu. Madison Btwks is the best.
Thanks for the video. Great to see the sailing channel focused on sharing the journey, not churning volumes of click-bait content. Thank you. ❤
Love your blue water vessel. With its wide decks, lots of handholds, small cockpit and low cabin top it is a proper blue water sailing vessel.
We are happy to find your channel. Simple sailing no advertisements. No drama or showmanship just sailing. We are your fans. Now we are watching you cross the Pacific
Your videos have a nostalgic quality reminiscent of when travellogs were produced with film.
This and the slow pace leave the viewer left with a feeling of living a life that was missed there our own lives.
Looking forward to the next sail.
When I see her anchored offshore in the silhouette of a setting sun, she is a thing of beauty. Beautiful lines, classic.
best sailing channel content i've seen, the videos are a great pleasure to watch
I love the calmness, thank you for taking me with you on your journey from half way across the world!
What an absolute treat when a new one of these comes out.
Nice to see another update. Thanks for the efforts made in shooting, editing and sharing your adventure with us.
I've watched every episode you have made since you started this journey and you two look younger than you did when you began. Seriously, stress is lifted and you look truly rested and joyful.
This channel is so life affirming. I built a wooden sailboat (just a skiff, really) with my father about 50 years ago, and I miss it. Watching your channel has inspired me to charter a wooden sailboat for a short cruise in England in September. Keep up the good work!
As I watch you use your tools for navigation, I can see that it is so nice with modern tech to not worry about winding up in the middle of nowhere without knowing which way to go, or missing an island because of a slight course error. Avoiding bad weather is easier too. Thanks so much for sharing your adventure. The views above and below the surface are amazing.
Thank you! The only sad part is they have to end. A truly beautiful place that you have captured with stunning photography! Continue living the charmed life and sail on!
Hi guys! LOVING your content (Especially the extended sailing footage and views of the boat sailing along, with minimal camera movement!) You guys are now officially my favourite channel and I eagerly await the day (Hopefully soon!) when your channel explodes for you and you end up with over 200K subscribers! Keep doing what you're doing and that day will surely arrive! Your narration is very soothing and relaxing and the overall vibe is one of beauty and tranquility! Thank-you for being you!
Usual excellent video of a very wonderful trip...
Stay safe...
Your music is sublime and greatly enhances the video content.
Again wonderful video. Thank you🇫🇮
Another video from you 2 .... that makes for a great day!
so beautifully crafted videos. peaceful
Great video, thanks for sharing 👍 ⛵️ amazing beautiful islands .
Always worth the wait for the next video! 👍
Beautiful video, thank you!
FIJI is truly a beautiful place to sail. You 2 are very lucky. I enjoy your videos.
Such beautiful films.
Lovely to see you again, great video and music.
Have you ever tried the old sailors and settlers trick on preserving fresh produce? A cup of white vinegar in a washing up bowl of water then let your veg, fruit air dry it was what was used, vinegar was used on everything, cleaning etc. I do it on my fruit berries and veg, everything lasts for weeks in my fridge, there’s no taste. When you look at the old manifest lists of the quartermasters boarded they took gallons, as much as wine, rum and beer. In pandemics the settlers would scrub their cabins. Lovely on Plantain fries too! Fair winds.
Thank you for showing us your journey.
Wise words!
With your beautiful videos you capture the essence of sailing life en exploration, wow!!
You guys make such wonderful videos and they always make me happy! Thank you and stay safe out there!

My wife is from Mazatlan, and I've been following you two after randomly finding your Mazatlan video before you crossed. I love your content. Your narration skills are beyond excellent, and the vibes of your videos are truly amazing. Safe passages to you.

Great vid. Fiji looks amazing.
Such a totally brilliant sailing channel.
Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks
Thank you for the nice videos. 👋
Magnificent!
Such a beautiful boat as the star of the videos with beautiful people to co-star makes your videos so different from the other sailing channels I also follow. A wood boat with wood masts and a rowing/sailing dinghy takes me back to my cruising days long ago.
Excellent editing, music, and commentary as always.
Thanks for letting us sail along with you.
Another beautiful adventure. Your videos are the best. The beauty of the destinations and of the sailing life are captured exquisitely.
Excellent video, thank you
Best channel on CZcams ,thanks for another true adventure story 🙏 Best regards from Colin Archer 🇧🇻
Fantastic, thanks for sharing.
I know we must be coming to the end soon, leaving Julia in Tasmania. I will miss your wonderful videos.
It would be wonderful if you made a final "what we learned, what we would do different" video now that you have had time to look back at your adventure.
I hope some day you get to do another incredible journey.
So wonderful to see you again. Beautiful as always. Thank you for sharing your journey with us as most of us will probably never get to go out there.
It is great to see healthy coral. Thank you for talking me somewhere I would not otherwise be able to go.
Wow! So amazing
You have a gorgeous little boat
Thank You for the newest episode, charming as usual. Love your boat.
Thank you for posting this. It brings me back to a lot of memories. I lived in Fiji from 6years old to 18 years old. I am on my own 42foot sloop rigged boat on Bainbridge Island these days with the ultimate goal of eventually making it back to Fiji for some exploring as an adult.
Fantastic episode guys! Thanks for shearing. Best regards from Jarle
Great video. Thanks for sharing your adventures :)
