- Our arrival on Saint Helena is magnificent. With the rising sun on Barn Rock it just looks like it has been polished the day before. Very special this rock in the middle of the ocean, 1300 miles from Namibia and 1750 from Recife. I guess they wanted to be sure he didn't come back to Europe again at the time.
We will only stay here a couple of days as we want to be in time for Brazilian carnival in Olinda just north of Recife.
I`'m enjoying your videos so very much. I love your unpretentious way of sharing your wonderful journeys and I also love that you are aware of the specialness of your adventures on our beautiful planet. - That being said, on a technical and artistic level your videos are getting better and better. Jay❣ What a treat❣🥰
Agreed, if CZcams ever decided to create an Awards Show, Mark's video production would be worthy of top honors. I've worked on 115 movies in 34yrs with some of the best Directors in Hollywood and Mark's talents are right up there with theirs. He's no slouch.
You keep saying that and we’re not the only sailing channel you’re following. Stop it now, you make me blush 🥰
I believe in giving credit where credit is due. You're a real film maker who's cataloging your experiences unlike 99% of the other CZcams Channels. I'll knock it off now and stop with the flattery, just know that it's well deserved and we'll leave it at that. My spouse says that you're a Saint, but I am not going to go there, Saint or not we appreciate you.

What a beautifull videoimages of that manta. 👍👍😀😀
Yeeeessss, I shortened it a bit in the final version but could watch those magnificent creatures fly through the water for hours. We did have even better manta material in an episode in the Marquesas with the son of Joost (Thomas) but somehow this is one of the worst viewed episodes. The mantas seem to love the Ham family though
I would definitely like to attend the Marc school for singing and dancing!
Really liked the video - St Helena has long been on my list of places to visit.
😏😎😂
Great video. Always!
What a wonderful island, great filming and narrative, excellent once again. Looking forward to the next episode. Thank you😊👍❤️
Absolutely great video
Love it and love the spirit,
Looking forward to the next one.
Keep them coming please.
Beautiful video❤
wow the mantarays are beautiful, exquisite videographie…..amazed and mesmerized by this…..en genoten van het feestje!!!
Afterwards I was told by Saga, who was there after us and saw it swimming around their boat, that it’s actually not a mantra but a Chilean devil.
WOW, what an incredible place and you've captured it so well. Thanx so much for making these videos.
Beautiful see, we plan pur sail around Aadores
It's always a treat to see Manta Rays! We had several swim around our boat in Huahine and Raiatea.
So gracious ❤️
fabulous
Nice video
Love this channel fantastic island your filming is tops!
I too love love your videos, so beautifully edited with the right balance of music, talking and video footage.
I saw you guys in the bay of islands March 2023
Thanks Annie, help me where did we meet?
@@CatGreatcircle we didn’t meet, we just saw your fabulous cat and others moored at the Bay of Islands.
Great content, but I wish videos would be 4k@60fps. Would be even greater experience of sailing around the world from my couch.
Maybe now we have Starlink it’s an option as the final video size is less of a problem to upload in remote places but still storage of the raw material is a bottleneck
😀👍👍👍❤❤
it is a big ocean but there is a chance you could see Solo Ocean sailors from either the "Global Solo Challenge" or the "Arkea Ultim Challenge" There are trackers for both available online. Much of the fleet only just rounded cape horn and they are going to spain.
If Caudrelier really comes that close to Recife we might see him on our arrival
Maybe they forgot to tell you that Napoleon is in fact buried in Paris, in the Invalids. Louis Philippe retrieved his remains the year of his death.
Yes the told me. I was also told that there are several opinions whether this is true, but of course the same goes for the landing on the moon. I don’t think it would really matters once you’re dead but before that I would prefer the peaceful spot on St Helena way above being transferred to Paris but hey I understand that he had to have a different opinion
Because St Helena is British, and in our (french) history books, Napoléon is à hero. They couldn't let him rest on British soil!!! If in Paris, you have to go. His casket in the Invalids is outrageously over the top impressive.
@laurence9695 I think the house in Longwood and the Tombe are even officially French territory within the British island or did I get this wrong
touche on Jacob's Ladder !!!! ;)
Napoleon was not moved to the ultimate house by his choice, but by the choice of his captor. The climate in his final holding villa was far worse and he hated it.
Didn’t look too bad to me and I thought I’m spoiled 🤣
Wat een mooi avontuur weer heb er weer van genoten het is echt mijn donderdag avond dingetje. Die echte oude disco muziek echt top. Zit mij wel eens af te vragen hoe de water temperaturen daar zijn?. Drone beelden zijn ook echt mooi vlieg zelf met de dji mini.
Top weer mensen🎉
Iemand zei 26 graden, we hebben de hulls schoongemaakt en dat was goed te doen
Hi, have a nice trip . Just a question please why the red ropes on the ringings ? One life catamaran
Reduce resonance on the shrouds
Thank you for asking, I'd be wondering too. Fascinating reply!
the ladder? Stairway to heaven.
Quite a climb for a lazy sailor
likely a Th. Jefferson story evolves. His kids with the native.
Welcome Cat Greatcircle
Thanks! Welcome where? 428 miles to Recife…
No, welcome to our home
great white shark in the Northern Atlantic might be 400 years old. A female shark.
We were already discussing that the deep ocean might have much older creatures down there in the dark and the cold
sssshhhhh
the sailor is a notorious lonely guy. lol
St Helena looks boring... the contrast from beautiful Africa to that... cinematography is amazing thou....
Africa is beautiful. And before Africa we saw a lot of very special places too. For us the beauty is also in the variation in all the different stops we make. That makes us enjoy different places like Saint Helena and Christmas Island as well
@@CatGreatcircle thanks... your stay in Namibia was short.... there's Etosha and different wildlife areas for Elephants, Rhinos and lions etc... there's the landscapes of Damaraland I can go on and on.... maybe next time....
@nas6587 yes Etosha looked great, a more natural environment than the parks we visited before in South Africa
@CatGreatcircle that's great... I've been watching your travels for a while now, and I was happy/surprised to see my friend Raymond taking you for dune surfing... safe travels ro you guys...
@nas6587 you have a very nice friend, we loved it
