It’s always great to hear from other sailors who’ve had a good time in these areas. All the resorts were very welcoming as you say, Captain Hooks Bay was one of our favourites with waterfalls, fireflies, underwater statues and a great restaurant with tender tie up!

lol, it's a lovely look hey!! Now you've got me worried

The fish life was great to see, and proving why some marine parks are necessary as most of the waters here are fished out with almost nothing left to see.

Thanks for watching, Going through the rip into Port Phillip Bay was exciting for us!

Working in the hot humid weather is definitely not easy to portray, but running around with no shirt isn't a good look! I'm sure you can relate to the conditions though

Swimming through the kelp forrest was lovely, unfortunately the gopro video failed and we didn't get much footage!

Thanks for following, we have plans to enclose the cockpit in a similar design to No Regrets 1, giving us another huge dry area. We think that ours shades are better designed too

I'm waiting to hear from you about how it's surviving, but I can not believe how I didn't think of using PVC cement to glue it together until you mentioned it. After 3 months it is looking very goog still, I'm hoping that the paint protects it long term

Thank you, we're pretty happy with our result too

The first mate always cleans up the mess. 😉

We activated our Starlink in Australia and flew it over with us. We started with the 50G plan (AUD $80) and have now changed to the global roam $197 unlimited. It has been working since September. I did speak with someone who said theirs did not work, but cannot confirm if they activated in Australia or their home country first. Ours is certainly working well.

Thanks for watching and glad you liked it

We optioned for the Starlink cable to be prewired and supplied the ethernet cable, but then we had to pull through the new power cable for the mini. Seawind offer to leave to pull string so that you can do this easier yourself, and funny enough we did excatly that on another 1370 today! If you don't get a draw string, it is possible but from the targa roof you need to turn 90 degrees from the wiring hold and feed along the channel. It is possible, but would be a little challenging.

Lol, PILES everywhere!!

Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you, we watch a lot of those channels too. Delos and LaVaga inspired us MANY years ago, and here we are on our 7th Year!

I hope you get a chance to have a swim with them, it was amazing and we were glad to see the elephant happy and playing in the water

We hope you guys all had a great Christmas and New Years. Can't believe it's been so long since we rounded WA catching us with you guys last!

Jo certainly isn't a fan of going into 30 knots, but reefing down and having minimal sail slowing the boat makes it tolerable. Luckily there wasn't really any swell to make it worse. We hope you have just as many memorable experiences of your 1260 as we did on ours as well.

I hope you guys are having a great time down there, elephants coming in tomorrow's episode!

@@SailingNoRegretswe were having a GREAT time until this morning, in winds of average 25 and gusts of up to 30, our SARCA EXCEL No. 6 started dragging after 10 days of no problems: we thought we'd done everything right, 35 m of chain in 4 m depth, but no, what a bummer! We're actually at Chai Chet, the beach one over from where you were. Guess back to the drawing board, reading our anchoring advice book :-)

Thanks for watching. We are joining the Sail Malaysia rally and heading towards Borneo, then likely Indonesia, then we will see what calls. But yes, Suez is off limits if going west.

Thanks Phil, the superb handover training made our transition and familiarity so easy, and the 1370 is definitely a fantastic well designed boat

Thank you! We hope you do as well

What I'm finding is that I used to stand on the step and lean outside with my head above the roof looking down the side on the 1260. The roof extends a little wider on the 1370 and you can't do that. However this gives us better protection from the sun and rain, the instruments and gauges are better protected. I rarely looked up through the glass window above the helm on the 1260, so I am now using that which is fine. It's just about changing behaviours to suit the new design

She's been pretty good, only minor warranty issues, only a couple extra in the 3 weeks since we made this video

No we have always had salt with no issues. We always flush a full bowl of water to keep waste pipe clean, after 7 years on No Regrets 1 it was still clear of scale build up. If you leave it sitting for weeks unused, then that hydrogen sulphide smell will be present in the first few flushes, but we live aboard so no issues

Subwoofer option through Seawind

We are preparing to install the bum gun soon

Is the sound system the SW upgraded option? Or is it an aftermarket post delivery install?

@@SailingNoRegrets , great to hear ... a hell of a lot of boats don't which stumps me

Yes, but most people know where Pattaya is, but have no idea where Jomtien is. We try to interchange it so new viewers have some idea of location

@@SailingNoRegrets , I'll let you off this time 5555 , I go to Bang Saray and moving there when I've sold my house ... about 15 minutes south of Ocean Marina ..... tiny hick fishing village , hardly any bars

Thank you! We are enjoying the new boat so far.

No, I can accept them and put up with it during daylight hours, but don't use us as a turning buoy just missing us.

Handover is in Vietnam, from there we will head through Malaysia and back to Thailand into Phuket

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it

Ah the Broadwater... certainly I place I try to avoid!

Thanks, we really try to resist buying bottled water, there's so many floating on the ocean and in every bay that we just cant support the stuff. We have been refilling our few bottles we have with the water maker and taking them with us, or we use our stainless thermos type to keep it cool. But Jo always has to have a Soda Water which causes she should ask for Soda, then they are fine.

Thank you, we find "soda" works, but as we speak too fast "sodawater" gets lost

That's our fear, there's lot's of Russian's and European holiday makers that think our yacht is really there as a turning marker buoy ,and they are speeding past us and turning at our boat barely a jet ski length away. A few have panicked and throttled off which of course loses all steering and that's come very close to hitting us. We've taken to standing on deck pointing and waving at them to move away and play elsewhere, holding back what we really want to yell, fortunately most have got the message.

In Thailand as a foreigner if you have an accident / crash with a Thai it is automatically your fault because if you were not in Thailand there would not have been an accident
