Oh yea. Coffee with Sweet Ruca. The teacher in Kate comes out with the narration of these videos. Excellent. Sure is a nice and relaxed life yall are living. Beautiful scenery and people. Keep having fun and stay safe. Bill
The South Pacific Islands are one of the most beautiful on the planet, also friendly people, and really peaceful. I wish you a fear of sailwinds and following seas 🌊 ⛵️
"Gelembus" in our language in Kalimantan calls the contents of the coconut. Good to eat. We usually use old coconuts to make coconut milk. The delicious coconut water is young coconut water.
Y. E. A. H. 🎉 nice to see you guys sharing and learning at your new location. 🙌🏻 Always good to mingle with the locals, have a meal (or more) together showing brotherhood and friendship. The S/v Sweet Ruca crew do this sooooo well. B. R. A. V. O. 🤗 See you next time. ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝️👙🌞✨
So nice to see how y’all are enjoying those new places and gathering together with new people, sharing meals and life. Good people attract good people. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Nice video. Did you have to leave Roxy on board? Did you sail into the atoll? I saw two passage ways into it on the G-maps. Yes, it's a pity how little respect many people have for other humans, their livelihood, and nature of themselves and others.
Last weeks video showed the entrance to the atoll, we motored in just to be safe (no need to take unnecessary risks in the remote areas). There are two passage ways, but even the locals only use the one closer to town.
Your content courageously explores uncharted territory, bringing viewers along on an exhilarating journey to a once-unvisited dangerous atoll. Each video showcases your bold spirit and commitment to sharing unique experiences, highlighting the challenges and wonders of this remote location. Your ability to capture the essence of adventure while maintaining safety and respect for the environment is truly commendable. And I am Floating Village Life
That booze bottle was more than likely thrown overboard from a Japanese fishing vessel in the area. Micronesian Atolls are littered with Suntory Whiskey bottles.
Nice to see you document your travels with such enthusiasm. I might suggest (as a filmmaker myself) slowing down all moves underwater. I suspect you are only snorkeling, and so this is a lot harder than when you are a feet under. However, the 'shakey cam' like footage you caught here is almost unwatchable. The trick is film at 60fps or better if you can and then you might be able to isolate better shots in post. My wife and I should be heading your way soon, and I am fascinated by the remote Tuamotus, as well as islands even further south like Gambier and Mururoa. Did you ever visit these? They seem easy to access, but I suspect - with so much open areas sans protective reef - anchoring in any one place for long there might be a challenge? Have you talked to other cruisers who did visit there? You two stay safe and watch out for those bommies. Thanks for the inspiration to follow you down. CZcams cruising video channels continue to crop up like bommies. I hope you can keep up with the demands (and sacrifices) of regular filming. Warmest regards and Fair Winds to you both (Cathy and Dorian, SV Arcanum)
Watching you - my meter for your older than this video is at 50% now - means the algorithm does its thing for other channels. Not naming names because of etiquette, I just watched a review video of a navionics alternative that is based on its own GPS ultra-precision receiver, and integrates as 3rd party product in your current "bus" network on the boat. The video captures 1 year experience of an ocean going sailor and its acquisition was not sponsored. I have no idea what it would cost. It integrates all sorts of instruments to the gentleman's large format iPad or a much brighter waterproof still working in sunlight Android tablet computer from this reviewed system's brand. Gives polars and polar performance, and integrates sonar maps in coastal regions. Can remotely control autopilot. Gentleman now uses it as primary system. The GPS receiver also measures the boat's heel and can on/off control wind-based control of the autopilot. My guess is with you and two laptops at the nav-desk, that you fucnctionally already have all this. But this combines - first face impression - "everything" into a thin almost A4 size tablet computer. Maybe you would feel however that it does not integrate "everything", being very smart users of all the information sources out there. Comments under this video imply there are a few limitations, but I get the impression that someone from the brand is replying in there with "we are working to add that" comments. For a complementary system I think there's nothing critically missing. Without an idea of price, I cannot comment on value for money. If you have no clue of this product and want to know more details on video or brand/product URLs, reply ask and I can delete that again if you ask me to.

@@SailingSweetRuca - so sweet of you to answer. Well, I watched that video, but I had not connected this weeks video to that. Thank you.
It shur is nice to see you in a warmer place. Thanks for another wonderful video.

😀😀👍👍❤❤
I love this video. Wow, only 200 people live there. It's so beautiful . I wish I was there making a hat with you
Why did you avoid Pitcarins island.?
I really want to know.
(You probably have reasons)
I asked the exact same question, said not favourable wind conditions and not a safe anchorage
@@raylawes8938 thank you 👍
Right on Ray! Thank you!
@@SailingSweetRuca thank you, i hope i didn't speak out of turn
Did they come from Japan or Japanese fishing boats.
We can’t be sure? There was lots of stuff with Japanese markings. Could be fishing boats?

Hi Cathy & Dorian, thank you for the underwater filming tips! Check out the videos before this for the Gambier islands.
Well done!
lol. so brave
Did you guys stop at Easter Island? Did I miss that video?

Still amazed at God's creation!!! What a experience that must be there ❤

If there is no letter in the bottle, it's just trash 😅 From Japanese trash(lol)
Listened for 3 minutes…..sounds like she is reading from a script she has never seen before. Can’t handle it!
