Very cool, kind of like a modern day Pompeii.

You guys are great, really enjoy your videos. Don't mean to pry and maybe I missed it in the earlier videos but why was it so tough in French polynesa? What happened?

*Stuck in French Polynesia: Embracing Plan B and Dealing with Unexpected Challenges* * *0:00** Change of Plans:* Holly and Ray, after initially planning to leave French Polynesia, face an unfavorable weather window and have to check back into the country. * *0:54** Unexpected Delay:* Their plan to sail to New Zealand ahead of cyclone season is thwarted by the sudden shift in weather, forcing them to stay in French Polynesia for a longer period. * *1:30** Accepting Plan B:* Despite initial disappointment, Holly and Ray make the best of the situation and enjoy their time in Bora Bora, including watching a local outrigger canoe race. * *2:40** Exploring New Anchorages:* They decide to move to a different anchorage in Bora Bora for a change of scenery. * *3:40** Hawai Kiva Race:* They witness the Hawai Kiva, a 3-day Polynesian outrigger canoe race, where teams paddle 80km across open ocean and lagoons. * *5:16** Leaving Bora Bora:* After two weeks with no new weather window, they officially decide to stay in French Polynesia for the cyclone season and set sail for Maria. * *5:30** Insurance Deadline:* They explain that their insurance required them to be in New Zealand by December 1st, making the trip to New Zealand too risky with the remaining time. * *6:19** Difficult Sailing Conditions:* They face challenging sailing conditions on their way to Maria, with no wind and scorching heat. * *7:12** Engine Trouble:* They experience problems with their starboard engine, discovering water in the sail drive. This forces them to seek a place for repairs. * *7:53** Spare Parts:* Luckily, they have spare seals on board, eliminating the need to source parts. * *8:35** Rough Night at Sea:* They endure a rough night with rain, lightning, and no wind, making for a challenging passage. * *9:17** Arrival in Maria:* They finally arrive in Maria, drop anchor, and plan to contact boatyards for repairs.

@2:37 You guys... Sabado is just stunning! Tuesday, 11/12 I'm putting my deposit down on my boat. Yachtworld and look for Wild Things. I hope to see you guys soon!

I would think cautious sailors live longer and have less stress….

That's my exact attitude about everything. I do not feel good being rushed. I plan out my travel for a reason. If I feel rushed, either mentally or in reality, I don't go because bad shit happens. I'm sure you have your reasons for posting short videos, but I'd truly love longer episodes. Your approach to sailing (and just about everything else) is pretty much how I go about my daily life, and I enjoy your videos very much.

Thank you.

OH My Gosh ‼️ Another bunch of days in paradise. Can you handle it? Of c.o.u.r.s.e. 🎉🎉🎉 Nice to see you guys are safe and tucked in. 🙂✌🏻Bummer on the sail drive. 😢 See you next time. ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝️👙🌞✨

just started my binge watching from the oldest video posted. Exciting. Nice to meet you Holly and Ray. Greetings from New Jersey. Currently researching 42 to 45 foot catamarans.

Watching from Aotearoa, always exciting finding channels sailing over here, we keep an eye out for you all in Opua 🩵🌊

You guys have been on the move for so long. Enjoy staying put and slowing down

In the long run, you may be glad for the extra 6 months in paradise.

Such a great accomplishment. Congratulations. 🎉

Might want to move the water maker intake near the keel so that it stays underwater the whole time. I use an AC intake for it and it is directly above the keels. I can't tell from your solar diagram how your panels are laid out in terms of shade. I have 2 panels per side on the arch 540Watts each) and each pair is on a 85A MPPT and then 2 540Watt panels on the hard top that are on their on mppt at 30A each. I upgraded my batteries recently to 1200AH and with 3100W of solar manages to fill the batteries on a daily basis and even allows us to run the Air Conditioning off the solar panels (they don't even use the batteries during the day.

Where were you going to haul out in New Zealand?

Really cool video.

I'm slowly catching up on all your posts, but I thought you lost your dingy, did you do one on getting it back?

Should have showed us how you made that banana bread French toast . Love the video , thank you .

I did guard duty for 1 month in the army doing 3 hours on, 3 off while stationed in egypt. The team started falling asleep in chow lines and at post. 3/3 isn't recommended.

Just remember holly you would look a lot better than ray in a bikini

can you talk about the "hard on us" part?

Thanks for the video! I would love to hear a lot of details about your reverting back to the old setup of your reefing lines (what changed and why reverting?). Perhaps also include that with some video in a future video.

Good video. 👍

Thank you.

Just set sail for Motherland Africa.

I love banana breadand I love French toast I've never heard of banana bread French toast thank you so much that looked so yummy I think you're a genius

Oh Yeah! After watching Parlay in NZ I am looking forward to your adventures going and being there. Crazy you cant check out so easily in some of these places. I hope your passage is going smooth and safe. Also, Holly you should ask for a raise 😉

What Lagoon Is That Im curious I Wanna Get Something Similar

how much diesel fuel did you start out with ? how much did you consume on this trip ? VERY interesting !! I sailed my 10.8 meter sloop from San Diego, Ca. to Ft. Myers Fl. mostly alone. AN ADVENTURE !! Lived on board for 8 years.. SINGLE !!

I would think with a dyneema topping lift and enough mainsheet tension, provided your boom is aligned 180 degrees from the load of the spin halyard, you would be able to run any headsail you need.

I had open cpn on a new samsung android in oct 2024 for 10 minutes. It locked up numerous times and the menu layout is crude. I got a refund. This guy is spouting nonsense. The app is unreliable.

Mini marshmallows will help with moisture. Great for brown sugar and spices. Anything that gets hard

I've never heard that about bay leaves. Interesting

Hmmmm - watch out for us “Bareboat Charter Captains”. Parr 4 the Course leaves Croatia tomorrow and will be in Tahiti in 2 weeks!😂

Something I frequently wonder about is what do you sailors do about sunblock? Do you put it on every day in order to lessen skin cancer risks? I've definitely seen a lot of people who don't apply any at all and they look like 20 years older than they actually are after only a few years of constant sun exposure

I'm very new to sailing. At present I only have a sailing dinghy though I'm planning on getting a pocket cabin cruiser. I've also been a Linux user for 3 years. You have no idea (or maybe you do) how happy it makes me to seeing Linux used this way. You're so awesome!

So I am binge watching your channel, all the crewships - amazing shot. PS: You are living my dream life.

What anchor do you have? Thanks, Josef

Hi, regarding safety, is there times when you'd rather be in a mono-hull?? extreme wind and weather? Or catamarans are safer than I thought ?( I'm a novice sailor)

Great set up. Nice to see that more and more boats use technology to monitor this. I have a similar anchor watch setup on my boat and the warning goes on all Sonos speakers which is great and can’t be missed. My problem is when off the boat the pushover notification might be missed as it only makes a bing. How did you make it play until acknowledged?

Love this content… this is why I watch TH-cam for. The more you can show about the software setups the better.

I would love to see a video doing a deep dive into all your electronics and monitoring systems! You guys have a killer setup and I've been incorporating lots of the same stuff into our Passport 40. What type of GPS antenna are you using to make sure you're getting the most accurate position data?

What is the name of the 2nd anchor watch product you demo'd? Great content. Appreciate the tech demos you guys are doing.
