- Can't believe you guys are still watching! What a stunning place to prepare for our final passage back to NZ. We try to get our heads around the weather for what is renown as a pretty challenging piece of water while spending our last few days exploring paradise. Thanks for tuning in.

This series has been so well done in every way. Similar to any good story, I hate to see it end. Hoping for a sequel.
Thanks J! We’re hoping for a sequel too 😉
Hello guys, we have got totally sucked into your story. We have two girls, 3 and 5, and we have binge-watched the Carabian onwards.
We took them through the French canals from Falmouth to the Med over 3 months when Betsy was 3 months, and Bonnie 2 years, now starting to think about the next adventure when they are a bit older and UK to NZ is top of the list.
Thank you

Wow guys, that’s super exciting. The planning part is such fun, so many options and opportunities. We hope to see you down these ways sometime, or perhaps we might even cross wakes. Who knows! All the best for you next adventure!
What a brilliant couple and channel. I've enjoyed all from the beginning. Such a mixture of emotions, feeling my selfish desire for more of the fantastic entertainment the two of you have brought into my life, doing battle with the great relief that you've made it home and done so safely. If you do wind up doing another CZcams series, how will we know? Cheers to you both and thank you!
Thank you so much! We’ve really enjoyed documenting our journey home and are also feeling similarly bittersweet. If you subscribe to our channel we’ll let all our subscribers know if we go for a ‘Season 2’ All the best!
I just found my type of people. No daily uploads, no shine or glamour. Just as it is. From all i've seen - I bet you're the happiest. It's your journey - not ours. You did smart, that's objective. Good, would be subjective. Enjoy it! Most inspiring couple i've seen so far - after scrolling irrational long through boatlife videos. Thanks for those little bits and pieces I learned a lot from
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
looking forward to the final episode.. merry Christmas!!
Great episode. You could feel and hear the emotion of nearing the end of an incredible journey mixed with the challenge of the final passage -- with a dash of almost being home. So glad I found this channel. Much needed inspiration in these times.
Cheers pal :)
We are graybeard sailors on Jersey, Channel Islands, sailing mainly France, Bay of Biscay down to Spain & Portugal. You guys have become such a part of our sailing life even though you are thousands of miles away. We are really going to miss your videos, they have all been, without a single exception, bloody brilliant. When you post your last Bachus video it will be a very sad day indeed.
Thank you! Hearing from people like you from across the world really makes our day, and it's the best part about having a CZcams channel. So thank you for watching, and we wish you fair winds in your cruising grounds up north :)
D&A
Happy New Year. Wishing you both well on your passage home. Safe travels and God bless you.
Thank you! Happy new year to you too
Love your adventure. Viewer suggestion or request would be to pan the scenery while you narrate instead of selfie perspective.
Hello Dani and Asher, Thanks for the ride. It has been beyond awesome to travel with you. Cheers and warmest wishes from a fellow Kiwi, Wellington, Aotearoa. 🐬💙
Thank you for joining us!
My wife and I started watching about a month ago, although we didn't start at the beginning!! After watching your Atlantic crossing and some of the Caribbean, we got hooked and have now gone back to the start and will work our way through. Thanks for making our Canadian winter a little brighter during this crazy pandemic!
Thanks Dan!
Hey guys been watching all your Tahiti sails, loved it so much, l miss it since 2016 we been there, you guys have been an inspiration as we look into buying our boat from Turkey to sail it to NZ, and we learnt so much from your experiences, thank you, may you have a safe enjoyable sail back home! We are glued to youtube sailing with you from our sofa 😉😍
Ahh, that's great to hear. We didn't go into the Med on this trip, but would love to sail Turkey one day. Bon vent!
I think I am having the same feelings as you two are. I feel like once you get home we will lose touch and that makes me very sad. Not how I wanted to feel at Christmas. Thanks so much to the both of you for helping to make this crappy 2020 a little more bearable. I am putting out best wishes for a safe passage on your final leg. I imagine it is already over and you are safe at home at last.
Peace to you both.
Thanks Mike, really happy to hear you enjoyed the videos. All good things must end though :)
I shall miss your sailing adventures. Merry Christmas to you both.
Merry Christmas! Glad to know you are truly on the way... couple #3 that made it. 👍🙂
Merry Christmas Guys.. Hope you have a fantastic time down under.. 🎄🥂
Thank you! You too!
You do have Vunda point in Fiji A really safe marina & the inner harbour in Tonga as a stop over with Minerva reef (North) as a reasonably (Better then outside) place to dodge the big ones . Merry Xmas & fair winds , Welcome home.
Monstrous mosquitos at Vuda Point from memory... Great bar at the yacht club makes up for them though!
@@sailingbacchushome944 By night time i never felt them ha
Hope it was a good Xmas for you. Thanks for sharing great scenery and adventures
Loved following your journey
👍
Thank you so much 🙂
could take another lap around the planet
Commendable efforts guys, looks like you succeeded in achieving your dream. Safe sailing on the final leg. Is it back to work or are you carrying on?
All will be revealed in the next episode 😉
Awesome series guys and still more to come I hope, you've just completed my dream trip, hopefully I can do next year. Keep up the pink zinc!
Cheers mate, and best of luck getting away on your own trip :)
Nice laundry hanging in the background!!
Safe Travels 👍
And from here in Aotearoa, Merry Christmas. Not sure about this, but was it Bora bora where the film South Pacific was actually shot.?? Looks like the fictional island of Bali Hai. All the best for NY 2021.
Happy Christmas Guys xxx
Of course we are still watching! I started watching to see how a newer production boat would handle a trip like this. I am in the learning stage, but the wife and I plan to retire on a boat, and head to the Caribbean. I think I know the answer, but what are your thoughts on the boat now that the trip is done? Positives/negatives?
She's a great wee boat, it's been hard to fault her. As a Caribbean cruiser for two, I reckon she's perfect :)
Really enjoy you 2......safe travels....
Thanks! Glad you've enjoyed the videos
Merry Christmas korua 🎅🌞😁🥳 thank you for the gift of such fascinating and adventurous content! Ngā mihi xXx
Thank you, and a Merry Christmas to you too
Merry Xmas guys and have a safe passage back home , cheers Alister in Australia.
Cheers!
Wonderful guys love your vids
Thank you!
👍🎈
I hope that you had good following winds all the way
Haha, I wish that were the case!
What am I supposed to do once this journey finishes?
Mery chrismes
I might have missed that but once home, you will stop the sailing ?
That's the plan - build a house and enjoy the benefits of land life for a while
You’ve got the Nandji hair cut mate...
No point in blaming bad vibes or mystical doings for the rain ingress, just blame the silly pillock who did not close the porthole properly.
Yes but then I'd have to blame myself... No, no Dennis, that won't work at all!! ;)
@@sailingbacchushome944 Good Answer lol
you didn't seam to worry about fees whats your budget gross to make the trip or is it the Ufund me channel?
Budgeting for this type of trip is a massive topic so without going into too much detail we lived off our savings and budgeted 1500 GBP ($2000 USD) per month for all our living expenses. We don't have a Ufund me channel but we get a little but of income through Patreon and CZcams which we put towards epic activities like snorkeling with Humpback Whales and going on a homestay Marquesan experience.
