Another great vid..happy sailing
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 🥂
You know it's gonna be a good time there, why else would it be such a rough sail to get there…lol
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 ..🌊🌊🌊🌊☀️☀️☀️☀️🌅🌅🌅🌅🏖️🏖️🏖️
❤❤
It's my dream to go there. Can't wait till the next episode drops.
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.
Another great year is coming to an end! Love your channel! You have accomplished so much in 2023 and have conquered all odds and continue to entertain us!!! Keep up the great work you two!

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.
Congratulations on your passage, a rough one at that. Wishing you both a Merry Christmas and looking forward to seeing the Tuamotus.
Have you ever tried fresh ginger, lemon garlic and water? Put all in a pot and simmer .about 10 minutes. Drink the liquid. Just a thought
The mighty Pacific lets you know who’s in charge, many a ships lay in that deep water over 2000’ deep
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 !
what level mathematics do you need to read charts?
Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Brook and Gary! Hope you are enjoying your presence!!
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!!
Awesome video!!!!!!!
love you guys! always a great video. Oh, happy holidays coming up.
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.✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨
As a naval veteran, biggest tip for waves that are uncomfortable, saltines. And fruit. Oranges and bananas. Those are go to. Best wishes happy sailing!
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. ⛵️
Wow guy's what a rough sail you had! One Life handled it like a boss though!!! Thanks for another awesome episode!! Also Merry Christmas to you both and enjoy your day and stay safe guy's!!! Cheers
Great video and have become a fan very quickly. I love so many of these channels for all the varying differences you bring to us and your voyages. Merry Christmas and stay safe. J
Merry Christmas! I am happy you guys had a chance to really fix that rudder in Mexico. NO JINX!
Nothing more fun than beating into the wind with water over the deck. Ha ha. Great video . Merry Christmas and a have a super 2024. ❤
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!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, wherever you happen to be right now.
Hi Gary. You look better with a shorter beard. 😊
Another groovy and exciting episode. Glad your safe.
I have always been told that you should not crank your winches backwards and forwards, yet i see most sailors on Youtube do this. Can this action damage your winches? Awesome video by the way.
He had a wall full of masks so she could wear a different face every day.
Doing 4 to 5 knots in those conditions is good.
Great episode. Merry Christmas!
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.
Merry Christmas Gary and Brook, from your fans in Michigan
If you run into a solo sailor, male preferable but not totally close minded 😂, between the ages of 35-45, give them my info. I need this life
Love the videos. Merry Christmas
Glad you arrived safe and sound. Merry Christmas to you both. Looking forward to sharing your adventures.
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 🎅🎄⛄
