  1. Hey Guys, great video and awesome sail 🫣. That was an edge of the seat production for sure. Three days of the big waves and such prob causes your bodies to say, “what happened to normal”. Great job managing the sails in the rough seas!!! Wishing for you a Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2024. Cheers 🥂

  2. Definitely the video that portrays your feelings and emotions when the sea is rough .. quite challenging to sit and watch ..lots of negative energy flowing through ..almost depressing..luckily you both share the same energy..it’s double edged sword ..the good times and the bad .. you do explain why you choose to sail .. I guess you show a lot more emotion than most others..happy days 😊⛵️..enjoy your hard earnt work to achieve it ..🌊🌊🌊🌊☀️☀️☀️☀️🌅🌅🌅🌅🏖️🏖️🏖️

  3. I think mentioned a little hardship was justified last time you arrived. Wow, what a place. I'm looking forward to these next few video's.
    Paid for the gain in advance, looks its going to be worth every hardship payed.

  5. I would have opted for a visa to stay much more longer, because Polynesia wouldn't get anymore remote or beautiful. Maybe you'll think about visiting the Gambiers, to whose people a German couple fell in love for as well as for the entire atoll from a divers point of view. They left the Sea of Cortez just a little bit ahead of you and navigated directly to the Gambiers, followed by the Tuamotos and the Marquesas. From there they want to get to Chile, imo still having the Gambiers in mind as their (not so bad) back-up, in case the conditions won't favor the crossing to South America in the long run. In case of failure , Pitcairn and Easter Island might be their alternatives for Chile.

  6. I think you've made the best decision to move along. The seas aren't easy snd you've still got your sea legs. French Polynesia is absolutely huge so there is a lot to see ! I must say, for a small boat, you guys really rock !

  7. The rough runs are no fun, but the with the amazing destinations you are finding and the people you are meeting, the rough days hopefully disappear pretty quickly. Can't imagine how few people in the world, percentage wise, have been the places you have been. Another great video showing the ups and down (literally!) of sea life. Thanks for always being real. Rock on!!

  8. OMG 😱 for you guys ‼️ Another rough few days at sea. Yet…..here you are….The Tuamotu's. I'm curious as to why you only get 90 days to visit this whole area. Not sure how to explain other sailing channels seem to have been in this area for much longer. Curious. Enjoy. See you next year.✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨

  9. Congrats beating to windward through days of rough weather and coming through good to go. The destination looks amazing! Hope you both have a Merry Christmas in paradise! Fair winds and following seas. ⛵️

  10. Great video and helps bring the dream back into reality… I have an aluminum boat and when close reaching or hauling the noise in the forward cabin is insane…. (I cheat though cuz I am deaf in one ear so I put the other one in the pillow). sounds like a bomb going off… but the reward is the safe arrival… I look forward to your next video… we're a year behind!

  11. As someone who unfortunately gets motion sickness really easily, yet absolutely loves the sea (go figure), I watch sailing channels such as this (Delos, La Vagabonde, etc) for a little escapism. As rough as those seas were, it looked absolutely magnificent. I'd have been permanently green and hanging over the rail the whole time had I been there in person, but from my comfy seat behind my computer it was amazing! Thanks for sharing the journey with us. It's easy to see why French Polynesia is on every sailor's bucket list to visit. It's truly stunning out there.

  12. Nice video. Glad you made it to the Tuamotus safely. Sounds like it was quite the roller coaster ride for the first few days. Looking forward to seeing the sights. Merry Christmas to both of you 🎅🎄⛄
