Island hopping, oh yeah! Got bananas? A little Rugged Coast gear I believe there Alie. You'll find some waves Ben, heck you might already have. Take your time on this part of your journey guys, you worked a long time to get here. ❤🙏
Happy Birthday Allie! Your celebration with friends on a beach with pristine water is a gift in itself! Congratulations on your landfall across the pacific!! You and Ben are having the time of your lives on your Big Adventure!🌴⛵
Great video!! The last couple of episodes have been full of amazing shots - waterfalls, rain forest, local culture and of course your smiles and enthusiasm!!! Thanks!
The supply vessel is the Aranui 5, it is a cruise ship in the stern and supply vessel in the front. We have taken that voyage to most of the islands. Fantastic trip.
Hi guys. I am from the west coast of BC and spent a year travelling the coast living on my cabin cruiser buying and selling to the native villages up to where Alaska starts. Spent alot of time in the Great Bear Rain forest. Love seeing that Canadian flag on your boat. Cheers and be safe
Awesome job guys. Hope the waves will treat you both soon. Chase your dreams. Spoiler alert!!! The coral reefs are changing as you go west. BEST TO Y’ALL. ❤❤😊😊
Fantastic video guys some awesome scenery of those islands and Alie great footage of the reef life there, you did a good snorkeling and filming and this is only the beginning of your adventures just keep those videos coming please 🤣🤣 till next week enjoy your selves 😊😊👍🇳🇿
omg, I just came back to Utube . I remember when you were in Naniamo, we just missed you in desolation. We lived with our small kids for 2.5 years based out of victoria harbour, however did over 500 miles each summer. Ended up in Powell River as the kids were growing and the boat was not. Stay safe, you guys really did it!
Allie and Ben: truly amazing to see your island life has begun. After all that hard work you both did prior to departure you both deserve fun and the unique tropical paradise. Love the cinematography and splendid editing. Hope your search for the perfect wave is close at hand. Love you guys! Enjoy.
Congratulations on your sail thus far . My first sail on the Dash 34 Balderdash was awesome , at one point between Sooke Marine we were sailing 7knots with a 35 knot SW on the way to Oak Bay marina the first day . Motored the next day between Oak Bay and Maple Bay . Going out to the boat this weekend .
Beautiful scenery video. Make sure you really check the banana's so you don't bring "visitors" onboard. I know what light I'm getting for my dinghy. That's for sharing.
I really like your voyage, and wish the best to both of you. One suggestion you are half way around the world, if you see something like a unique ship ( which was purpose built) or the impact of religion on the local culture, and you don't know what the story is ? there is a simple thing to do, its to ask a local then tell your watchers what you have learned. I hope you enjoy the waves and the sun.
Weird question, at min 11:22 I noticed the tow harness on your boat. I have a very similar Highfield RIB. I recently bought one of those. I noticed when I get up on a plane the ss clips on the bottom smack around on the hull and make all kinds of racket. Is that racket something that doesn't bother you or did you find a fix for it?
We have since changed it to a single Floating painter line clipped to the center. We don't tow much anymore with the davits installed last year and our bridal was near it's expiration date. But had we kept it, yes agreed the rattling is a bit annoying we would probably have changed out that connection for something different.

i just love watching the two of you.
3:29 The ship is the Aranui 3. It's both a cruise and cargo ship that traverses French Polynesia.
thank you💙

I love you guys, also from BC. Currently in Whistler Village Working. I'm truly envious
Whistler is so lovely too
3:23 Those ships are designed to carry cargo and passengers not one of the other. It makes sense between islands like the Marquesas.
thank you💙
So fun to ear and understand what you're saying underwater😅 unique yes ❤
hahaha

Ola Ben. I saw a similar ferry/ supply ship in Europe. The cruise ship section is for passengers and the rest for cargo.
It's the Aranui, it was built that way. half supply boat, half cruise ship. Great videos!
thank you💙
100% van isle guy. What a lush and beautiful island ... I wonder if they log it . 😂😂😂

The state of the ports could likely be WWII. Lots of concrete in the South Pacific.
true good point
