That penguin riding that huge wave onto the rock was one of the coolest things I've ever seen any animal do. It was so graceful considering the circumstance. So good at reading the water.
I watch far too many sailing channels which either are in the Med or crossing over to the Caribbean or from the states to the Caribbean and to be honest it’s getting boring watching the same old places just different faces, so what a fantastic breath of fresh air YOUR CHANNEL IS. This is proper sailing with proper sailors.
My wife and I were thrilled to be able to visit South Georgia last February including St. Andrews Bay and Prion Island. When we past Shag Rocks we were treated to a sighting of 2 Blue Whales. I we were glad to be aboard a 100 meter ship. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Hello! It was a great surprise to read that someone has ventured this way and so recently too! We were in SG in Feb so perhaps we were there around the same time! We heard that there had been a sighting of blue whales and couldn’t believe it! Ted Cheeseman onboard was really hoping we would see them! But they evaded us! Thank you for sharing your SG adventure :)) Sophie 🌊🙂
I really enjoyed this video. The albatross dance was spectacular. It's marvellous that you are able to follow you passion. Thanks so much for sharing Mike
Hi Mike, Thank you for your comment and I loved reading that you enjoyed the albatross footage! We have so much but we tried to keep it fairly short! However we will be editing short films on individual specific animals ie gentoo penguins/ king penguins/ wandering albatross etc for the Animal Lovers on here! They will come out over the next couple of months:)) Many thanks again, Sophie:)
I am in awe ,what a stunning ,peaceful place that Larsen Harbour is , I am excited for you and us as we get to share this adventure not accessable to many without your seamanship .
Hi Bill! Thank you for your lovely comment. We were just so pleased to read that you particularly enjoyed the Larsen Harbour scene as that is Chris’s favourite! And one of my favourite anchorages :)) Thank you again for commenting, Sophie 🙂🙂
I love how a day you call good would keep sun seekers in a safe harbor and make a whole video about their anchor alarm going off. Keep up the great work on the videos.
Hello and thank you for your comment! Oh that made us laugh! (But we have also had the anchor alarm going off down here giving us sleepless nights ! 😄). Hope you get to see both episodes out now :)) Thanks for your feedback, Sophie 🌊
I visited The Falklands/Antarctica/South Georgia on HMS Endurance between 2001 and 2003. What a privilege and I'm eternally grateful I had the opportunity. Great memories.
Kia Ora enjoying your videos while isolating with C19; it's the best distraction; the footage of the albatross was especially impressive they are beautiful birds and so at ease in that climate.
Sophie, Cris, thank you for the glimpse at the clearance and beauty of the south. You are contributing another sight on the variety of seas. Reading your comment below I was thinking “No! Don’t keep it short!! I want to see more!” Although I know how much time editing films takes, please let us take part more in the daily life on board. Your sailing skills must be tremendous, letting us take part would not be considered bragging. Is this a Bestevaer you’re sailing? How could you afford such a boat at your age? How does the interior look (loved your excursion to the “fridge”). How much time do you spend on maintenance? How much condensation water does the temperature gap produce? So many questions...
Hello CK! Thank you for your very kind comment! We don’t own Pelagic Australis - that would be a dream if we did! We are employed as Skipper & Mate onboard. Skip Novak is the owner and our boss :)) She is a Tony Castro design and built in 2003 in Durban. Glad to hear you liked seeing the fridge! Initially we were not intending on making films and I only videoed to send footage back to my parents. But after my Dad edited the South Georgia film and we got such positive feedback we decided to produce some more from my slightly dodgy filming. With that in mind- most of my footage was of penguins and icebergs. Since the interest in the films we decided to document more on the sailing side of it too and hope that we can feature that more in future films:)) I hope that all makes sense! Any other feedback you can suggest we would gratefully appreciate it:) Many thanks again, Sophie 🙂🌊
Most excellent, my new favorite sailing channel. And I really appreciate your reverence for nature. You are both so capable and seem to work so well together.
Hi Cris, thanks for your comment - we really appreciate it! :)) I hope you enjoy our next one about sailing to Gough Island hopefully coming out soon 🤞🙂
I came across your videos by accident and though I follow many many people cruising the planet you are unique. I will make sure that I promote your travels as best I can.
Put me to tears seeing the albatross pair's ritual,knowing how precarious their situation is,generally as a species. I'd like to think that humanity will be part of the solution instead of been the cause of albatross becoming extinct. Fantastic film as always and thank you so much guys.🙏🙏👍
Hi Fraser - great comment, in that we love to read others are so moved by the Albatross. To respond to your comment about humanity helping the Albatross… do watch our 2 Gough Island films - where we sail a team of scientists to the remote island as they set out on a well orchestrated quest to save the albatross & other indigenous seabirds… their work is remarkable- I think you will greatly appreciate it:)) And we got some beautiful footage of the Albatross in Part 2:) Thanks again for your comment. It makes our day to hear of so many people enjoying the incredible wildlife :)) Sophie 🌊 🙂
You two are doing precisely the sort of cruising that I would love to do if my age and health permitted. Sadly that is not the case but I can certainly enjoy your experiences vicariously through yt. I really enjoyed the albatross ballet and would love to see any more if you have it! I remember David Attenborough also filmed the beautiful ritual some years ago but I can't remember where now except that it was on one of the Southern Ocean islands. I'm getting bored with the vacuous and seemingly endless supply of accounts of bumming around in the Caribbean without any sign of a purpose other than self-indulgence! But you two are actually facilitating important scientific research and that's both worthwhile and fascinating at the same time. Well done and keep on doing your good work!
Hi David, I hope this reply reaches you (I’m not sure how to tag people in replies?). Thank you for your kind comment. Yes we do have a lot more of the albatross footage- we just didn’t want to overload it on this film. However! We are putting together short films on the specific animals we observed for the wildlife lovers :)) and the great thing about the albatross dancing was the incredible noise they made too! We have recordings of that :)) We hope to have those films out in the next couple of months. The film that is being edited at the moment is our voyage to Gough Island, where we took a team of scientists and conservationists as they embark on a year long programme to eradicated the house mice that have been decimating the albatross population (eating them alive). It was a really important journey- and incredibly we were granted permission to land there and see the albatross nesting! I can’t wait to share this video:)) let us know any feedback you may have once it’s out (in the next 2 weeks). Thank you again, Sophie 🙂 🌊
@@seasandsummitsYes, I received your most interesting message - thank you. You're doing exactly what I would love to do if I wasn't confined to a wheelchair! I'm not so interested in the stereotypical image of the yachtie just bumming around the Caribbean totally self-absorbed in pleasure seeking activities. If I had a live-aboard boat (if only!) I would definitely want to offer it for the kind of work that you're doing! How rewarding to do conservation and research work and esp. with those kind of people! I look forward to the next video about the albatross and getting rid of the mice!
5:45 "Are you really glad you said 'yes'?" Understatement of the century. How fast would I say "yes" if asked the question?...that short a time measurement doesn't exist. How does one make that happen? On the video content, the scenes from South Georgia were beyond breath-taking.
Truly remarkable watching you sail and explore on a level that distinguishes your channel from other content on youtube. Thank you so much for entertaining and inspiring by sharing your adventures. It’s really mesmerizing footage and stories. Can hardly wait for the next video.
Hello Jacob, It's nice to hear from you again on here! Thank you for your kind words, it is very encouraging for us. We are heading to Marion Island in the Southern Ocean this week so our next film won't be out for about 3 weeks now! But I hope it will be worth the wait! Thank you again, Sophie :))
Your films are so informative folks, thanks. Sophie describing the penguins as "tiny but mighty creatures" had me thinking it could be her own epitaph, certainly highly appropriate!
Hi Alan, I’ve just read this comment and your reply to my one in the first film! Thank you! This made me smile and I passed it on to my parents to read:)) Thank you for your supportive comments and feedback and I’m just super pleased you enjoy both films:) Sophie 🙂🙂

We hope to capture a lot of it on film for something to edit later on:) We are super pleased to hear the films are being enjoyed. Thank you for your feedback and reply! Sophie :))
Fabulous videos. Not sure I’d enjoy the cold sailing, but love seeing the awesome (in the old fashioned definition) scenery! Look forward to seeing more of your adventures.
hey..what a fantastic vid mates.. you guys really push the boundaries in any way imaginable,...thx for sharing this..and keep em vids coming ..cheers from Canada !
I really love your videos! They have just the right balance of showing shipboard life, sailing technical skills and wildlife. The explanations and information about the places you are visiting are really interesting. I really like the relaxed pace at which you talk, and the spark between you two is lovely. You might be new to CZcams, but your videos are just spot-on.
Hi John, Thank you so very much for your feedback. It is of great value to us. I’m glad to hear you think it has the right balance as we were a little worried about putting too much wildlife in. We haven’t filmed very much of ourselves talking into the camera as we focussed on landscapes and wildlife as well as sailing. But hopefully there was the right level of that too. What are your thoughts on the music? If you have any feedback on future films as they come out we would appreciate it again:) Many thanks again, Sophie :) 🌊

Sophie and Chris, you have produced an outstanding video. Your enthusiasm is refreshing and great to watch. Luv your ship as well. Thank you for sharing. AL Vancouver, Canada.
Such a wonderful experience seeing the albatross dance like that! If you ever come to the northern hemisphere I'll see if I can hitch a lift from Scotland.
Hi Douglas! We would LOVE to sail to Scotland one day! I hope it happens soon! My dream is to see and photograph puffins on your rocky shores ! Thank you for your comment:)) Sophie 🌊 Ps which part of Scotland are you watching from? 🙂
Huge amount of respect for you two! To prepare, sail and manage a science expedition safely in Antarctic waters is exceptional. And make amazing videos! Well done.
Sunday morning expedition lessons with Sophie and Chris, I love it! Making these areas of fierce winds and difficult nature your "home", showing all of it's beauty, that could not be seen in it’s intimacy elsewhere, is so outstanding! Your footage has greatly improved!! Congratulations!! Well Sophie it is good to wear a hat in the forward section, knowing that approx. 80% of the body heat, leaves via the head, which led to the old hunter’s rule: If you got cold feet, "put a hat on." You both help me to see what for many reasons I can't. Thanks and do stay safe and close. >>I love seeing you both talking to each other
Having been to the Falkland Island on two occasions (military) and lived there for 4 months each time, it was very interesting watching your adventures further south in the Sandwich Islands and South Georgia, loved your videos. Good luck in your next adventures.
Thank you! We’re very glad to read you enjoyed it so much and love the wildlife too ☺️ we have our next film out next week, sailing to Gough Island and here we met some Atlantic Yellow Nosed albatross chicks ! 🙂
Fabulous what a dream part of the world. Is PA steel like my narrowboat. Thank you so much for your kind comments last time. Yes life is pretty idyllic on the canals. We can almost get away from it all but not quite like you guys.
HI Chris, Thanks for your comment:)) PA is alluminium! I would love for Chris to one day explore some of the UK canals- to experience a tranquil way of being on the water:)) You must feel fortuate to be on the water there during the lockdown period. Thank you again, Sophie:)
What a terrific way to continue from Part One! The sailing, scenery and wildlife footages were just incredible. I thought the calmness and tranquillity of Larsen Harbour was an amazing contrast to the breathtaking ocean passages, and yet Pelagic Australis seemed totally at home there. For me, the episode was all the more interesting because of the glimpses it offered of everyday life on board, above and below decks. Watching this (in the UK) has been utterly memorable. I really loved it and know I'll come back to it time and time again. A really professional job. Thanks so much!
Hello again! And thank you for your comment. We do very much value such feedback. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the below decks scene etc. We will endeavour to include more of it:) We are departing for Marion Island deep in the southern ocean in 2 days time- I hope we can capture much more footage :) Thank you again, Sophie 🌊🙂
Hi Marc, I’m so glad to hear you enjoy the wildlife! We have so much footage of it that we had to keep it fairly short! Thanks for your comment- we really appreciate feedback:) Sophie 🌊
Hi Robert, Yes we often wonder the same. MOre so recently when we visited the restricted Gough Island in the depths of the South Atlantic as no one lives there apart from a small team of scientists! Film about this will be out in a few months time. Thank you again for your comment:)) Sophie
Hi Kana, Thank you so very much for watching and for your comment :)) We are heading offshore into the southern ocean on friday and we endeavour to film much more:) Thank you again! Sophie

Hi Stephanie, Thank you for your message. When did you visit Stanley? Was that on holiday? It isn’t often you hear someone say they have visited that part of the world! We really appreciate your comment and feedback:) Thank you, Sophie 🙂🌊
Really enjoyed the pace, joy and wonder shown by you Sophie! Good to see the details of daily life on board, too. It reminds us how much skill and effort it takes to get a boat to and from wild places safely. Looking forward to your next video.

Making these areas of fierce winds and difficult nature your "home", showing all of it's beauty, that could not be seen in it’s intimacy elsewhere, is so outstanding! Your footage has greatly improved!! Congratulations!!
Well Sophie it is good to wear a hat in the forward section, knowing that approx. 80% of the body heat, leaves via the head, which led to the old hunter’s rule: If you got cold feet, "put a hat on."
You both help me to see what for many reasons I can't. Thanks and do stay safe and close. >>I love seeing you both talking to each other
Having been to the Falkland Island on two occasions (military) and lived there for 4 months each time, it was very interesting watching your adventures further south in the Sandwich Islands and South Georgia, loved your videos. Good luck in your next adventures.
Great story telling, made me shiver some! LOL
THX so much for your brilliant clips!!!
Thank you for watching! 🙂🙂
aww how much I looooved this video❤️ Beautiful wildlife, amazing journey! Huge thanks for showing us such hidden parts of the world.
Thank you! We’re very glad to read you enjoyed it so much and love the wildlife too ☺️ we have our next film out next week, sailing to Gough Island and here we met some Atlantic Yellow Nosed albatross chicks ! 🙂
How beautiful...Real sailing and challenging nature makes your expeditions so unique...Keep up the good work and the nice narration..

Fabulous what a dream part of the world. Is PA steel like my narrowboat. Thank you so much for your kind comments last time. Yes life is pretty idyllic on the canals. We can almost get away from it all but not quite like you guys.
HI Chris, Thanks for your comment:)) PA is alluminium! I would love for Chris to one day explore some of the UK canals- to experience a tranquil way of being on the water:)) You must feel fortuate to be on the water there during the lockdown period.
Thank you again, Sophie:)
Awesome videos.
spectacular
Really excellent once again..... Thank you for letting us live your adventures vicariously from the comfort of our warm and dry home!
Hi Paul! Thank you for your comment and glad you sit back and enjoy the journey with us ☺️☺️

What a terrific way to continue from Part One! The sailing, scenery and wildlife footages were just incredible. I thought the calmness and tranquillity of Larsen Harbour was an amazing contrast to the breathtaking ocean passages, and yet Pelagic Australis seemed totally at home there. For me, the episode was all the more interesting because of the glimpses it offered of everyday life on board, above and below decks. Watching this (in the UK) has been utterly memorable. I really loved it and know I'll come back to it time and time again. A really professional job. Thanks so much!
Hello again! And thank you for your comment. We do very much value such feedback. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the below decks scene etc. We will endeavour to include more of it:)
We are departing for Marion Island deep in the southern ocean in 2 days time- I hope we can capture much more footage :)
Thank you again,
Sophie 🌊🙂
Wow guys. Thank you for creating the channel and share your journey. I absolutely love it.
Thank you so very much! Our next film will be out next week! 🌊🙂
Mind blowing adventures and some of mother natures' most awesome wildlife, thank you so much for sharing!
Hi Marc,
I’m so glad to hear you enjoy the wildlife! We have so much footage of it that we had to keep it fairly short!
Thanks for your comment- we really appreciate feedback:)

AWESOME, what an amazing boat and crew thanks. Makes you wonder how awesome this planet was before we invaded !
Hi Robert, Yes we often wonder the same. MOre so recently when we visited the restricted Gough Island in the depths of the South Atlantic as no one lives there apart from a small team of scientists! Film about this will be out in a few months time. Thank you again for your comment:)) Sophie
Outstanding footage guys. Looking forward to seeing your future adventures...Cheers
Hi Kana, Thank you so very much for watching and for your comment :)) We are heading offshore into the southern ocean on friday and we endeavour to film much more:)
Thank you again!

@@seasandsummits A walk through tour of the boat would be nice. 👍🏼
I love these videos. They are so well done. I have been to Stanley and found it so beautiful-the other islands seem magical. You capture them so well & are a lovely pair.
Hi Stephanie,
Thank you for your message. When did you visit Stanley? Was that on holiday? It isn’t often you hear someone say they have visited that part of the world!
We really appreciate your comment and feedback:)
Thank you,
Sophie 🙂🌊
Really enjoyed the pace, joy and wonder shown by you Sophie! Good to see the details of daily life on board, too. It reminds us how much skill and effort it takes to get a boat to and from wild places safely. Looking forward to your next video.
Hi Chris,
Thanks for your message :)) our next film should be out in about 3 weeks:))
Thank you again,
Sophie 🌊🙂

O to be young healthy and able to see such things in person. I wonder if they understand how God has blessed them?
We do feel very fortunate. But we have worked very hard in our careers for 20 years to get here:))
