  • We left the Tuomotus on a 240 nautical mile passage to Mo'orea in the Society Islands. These islands are like a geologic combination of the towering Marquesas and the coral ribbons of the Tuomotus. After a brief visit to Tahiti to pick up additional crew, we explored the ancient ruins and towering views of Mo'orea before another 80 mile passage to the lush island of Huahine.
    Our vessel Julia is a traditional wooden boat. She was built in 1960 to the Ingrid design by William Atkin. She has safely carried us for thousands of offshore sailing miles, and made our blue water cruising dreams come true.

    No click bait titles, no soft porn, no disasters, no overly dramatic music like some sailing channels. just cruising how it should be.

      @secretsquirrel6308 Před rokem

      And no local music. Filizi would feature the local music as did Fata Morgana. The use of local music completes the picture.

      Not cruising "how it should be", because it excludes me... But, yes, that's my problem, not theirs...

      Sailing film makers should consider that there's a sizeable audience who automatically clicks out of that kind of content and will never ever monetize it. Narcissistic sailing channels don't just impair the experience, they offend the viewer. I avoid show-offs. Normal sensibilities turn their backs on them.

    I concur with the others. It's been four months since your last episode, so you had us a little concerned. Julia is a thing of beauty and your quiet depictions of her slipping through tropical waters are a balm for the soul. Please don't keep us in suspense too long as we wait for the next installment in your series.

      Dang…!
      Reading all the comments I realize the my wife and I weren’t the only people concerned that after sailing over the horizon from Tuomotu there was no word from y’all for over 4 months.
      So, we get it, you’re doing what you’re doing because you want your freedom (including freedom from social media). Hopefully you can see from the comment section on this video that there are people who truly care about your well-being! I personally DON’T want to pressure you to produce a certain number of full length cinema quality videos via some time table, but maybe, for those of us who have kids your age, that worry, you could possibly put up a very short (30-45 second) video update now and then in between your full length videos so us “old timers” don’t lose sleep at night wondering if you’re at the bottom of the sea!
      So glad to see that all is ok! Keep rocking it!

    It has been a long time, but it was worth the wait. French Polynesia is such a magical place. I have been there many times when I was living in New Zealand, and fell into the charm of Moorea, Bora Bora and the Marquises. If you head west, don't miss the Cook Islands, Aitutaki in particular.

    Huahine main town looks pretty much as it did in 1973. Glad of that.
    When I was living on Tahiti and traveling around, I found Huahine to be the most beautiful and relaxed of all the Society islands. Men still wore flowers in their hair at work. Happy to see that, unlike Bora Bora, some of the magic still remains elsewhere.

You're simply (and non-pretentious) channel is a relief from the burgeoning Bikini Boat channels that seem to have popped up like feather worms, over the last couple years. We also noticed the USCG jumpers patch. You guys are the best! We spent 8 years involved with USCG Aux, and were proud to lighten the load for the USCG. We're looking for ward to your next post, and appreciate the love you put into your wooden boat! Fair Winds and Following Seas to you both (Dorian and Cathy, Caliber 40 - SV Arcanum)

      We primarily use an Olympus om-d e-m5 III camera. It's not pro level but it's been a great camera for us. As for weather routing, we are careful to avoid hurricane season in the affected lattitudes. Other than that it's just a matter of keeping an eye on the forecasts daily. We use the book World Cruising Routes to help pick passage routes and timing.

    Magnificent!
    It is so nice to see old school cruising, a wooden boat, a hard dinghy, and oars instead of a noisy outboard.
    Fiberglass boats are much easier to maintain but the sounds they make grates on my nerves while a wood boat speaks softly of strength and security.
