Tarka is a 1973 Albin Vega 27 (8.2m) that I bought sight-unseen and without sailing experience on the island of St. Martin in April of 2017. I was thrust head-first into ocean sailing as I got Tarka safely south from what would become the most devastating hurricane seasons on record. We are now working our way west towards the Pacific.
I am sailing Tarka around the world in part to raise money and awareness for coral conservation by supporting the Coral Reef Alliance. You can learn more here:

or visit their website directly:

If you make a donation to their website directly in Tarka's honor, please send me an e-mail copy of your receipt so I can keep track of Tarka's fundraising. You can forward to:
theadventuresoftarka@gmail.com
Additional support for Tarka’s sail for CORAL (The Coral Reef Alliance) comes from contributions by:
Soylent - Healthy provisioning for the long offshore passages
Sta Lok - Swage-less terminals for portions of Tarka’s rigging, making it an easy DIY job and allowing for easy inspection
Victron Energy - Providing monitoring solutions for Tarka's batteries, to ensure we always have enough juice to do what we need to.

What a fun time. Thank you for showing...
Your opening music is one of the most enjoyable of all of the sailing vlogs. Very catchy and dream-like (similar to the life you live). Some do a rock anthem that doesn't seem to fit the cruising lifestyle. Yours is perfect.
Thanks! Early on I had something tropical-house-y, but it just wasn't right. I've always been a big fan of Delos' opening music. Every time I hear that song it takes right back to the moment I realized that the dream could be a reality.
Thanks for highlighting some of the environmental issues with the Carribean along with its beauty!
You videos are Excellent. Thank you .
It’s wonderful to see you two, a wonderful couple sailing on a normal boat in paradise. I understand why you don’t want to move.. Nousta’s smile is amazing. Love this channel.!
Warren s/y Legend
Thanks you for sharing another great video with us. Wish that you were still sailing because I consider your channel as one of the best on TH-cam. Good luck on what ever adventure you undertake and will be still watching for any new videos that you might sharel
Are they not sailing anymore? Where are you getting that info from?
Hey that was some amazing kite surfing ( I am obviously talking about Bryan's endeavours not Noustha's ;-) ) THANKS as always for taking us with you !
some very good filming! Enjoy your videos every time.
The return of fearless Noustha.
That end shot pulling the boat 😎
Wanted to show more of that, but had to leave it on the cutting room floor.
You two are GOOD at making videos!
Another great video! Very well edited!
13:59 - I appreciate your superscript on top of the blurring. And you didn't get any of the whining that Delos got ;)
Beautiful sharks💙
Another great video!
Przepiękne miejsca, przepiękne ujęcia jak zwykle... Tylko tak dalej :)
Thanks for the video
Last time you mentioned that you were selling Tarka and would explain in this episode....or did I miss one? I'm surprised no one else is curious.
I wondered the same thing. He is living the dream now with a beautiful and sweet girlfriend. I hate to see him go back home. I get it, it is hard when a loved one dies...been there. But his chance to live his life is now. His Mom will understand and hopefully agree.
@@bud1971 Every loss is a personal one. I understand from what I read on another site that his loss was particularly difficult. I hope when there is enough healing, that we all can enjoy one of the most calming voices on TH-cam again, with the adventures of Tarka 2.
I think everyone is a bit curious, and Aaron provided a good answer without getting into too much detail. First understand that we publish on a significant delay, so the content you see now is about 4 or 5 months behind real-time. This is for practical reasons, as we don't have the resources or reliable internet to publish in a just-in-time format.
Second, it is not our intention to deceive anyone about our plans. The video content tells the story as it happened, even if we're editing it in the future. Thus, we will discuss the reasons for the change in plans in detail in a upcoming episode.
Sorry for all the confusion, it will all be clear soon!
@@TheAdventuresofTarka The thing is: it's your boat, your life, your bags to carry. You do what you have to do! I (we) can and do appreciate you sharing these experiences with me (us) as much as you choose to. And we have no say in any of it!
At some point, I'll have my bucket and I'll go where I want and nobody is going to tell me what to do.
ps. after reading the above, before hitting "post", I note that it sounds harsh. Sorry if that is the case. I wish you all the best!
Once again amazing 😍
Nice picture
I wonder if part of the coral reef problem isn't related to the over fishing of sharks. Much like the demise of Yellow Stone when the apex predator (wolves) were wiped out. It wasn't until they reintroduced wolves to the park that it began to recover. Great video! Hope all is well with your family. Sailing is in your blood now, I know you'll be back at it once you get your family situation settled. Best wishes!!
Keep working on that water start. You are about an hour of work before you have it. She on the other hand , is darn good. You should tell us what you need and where to send it. I would have been good for any type of sunglasses your heart desires.
And yes, our Watkins leaks when under heavy rains from the main (Only) hatch up front, and the other 4 smaller side windows also leak under heavy rains. New weather stripping coming soon. Along with haul out, for complete bottom work. 👍💪🤞🙏
Man I hate to admit this but I’m a little hard of hearing in certain tones and even though I have followed you since your second or third episode and told you your sailing this old mans dream, I have yet to understand what your lady friends name is. I have read comment and tried my best to hear it. Is there any way you could post her name and no not cause I’m weird just frustrating that you mention it a few times in the episodes and I can never quite catch it. Sorry I’m on old sailor (US NAVY), Texan and evidently more deaf than I thought! Thanks for all the adventure sharing and I hope you remember every moment when you get old. Those will keep you smiling for years to come. Thank you son. Enjoy!
Her name is Noustha.
As per narmal awsome vid! When you hit Bribie Island Quensland Australia let me know i am also a kiteboarding instructor if you require a few tips ☺
Great videos. thanks for the content.
Save the "favorite island" till you make it here in the South Pacific.
What did the lionfish do to you? Sick!
Sweet life
Those nurse sharks are like large catfish
Do you think you guys might eventually make it further from the equator, and explore the cold?
Maybe on a boat with a heater and warm clothing ;)
Abiut reducing plastic use: I started taking a little stainless steel screw top container with me when I buy meat from the butcher so that I can avoid plastic, and just get vegetables slung into a reusable bag. Probably not that easy in Panama living on a boat, but still....
Indeed it's tough when we don't have much selection in our food. Everything in the grocery stores around here is in plastic. But your ideas are good, and its something that more people should consider
The Adventures of Tarka I just chartered a boat for a week in Thailand recently and the shops in the quiet bay I stayed in were the same. Basically a 711 and not much else. Meant that as sharing an idea, not judging. Enjoy!
Curious to see what they run into out in the Pacific.
👍great!
Hey mate! We are soon to hit the big blue on a 27 foot, 1980 Watkins sailboat. We are new to sailing, I have a thousand questions, but can only think of 2 for now, how did you used to get up the mast, when you were solo, and, what’s your average/top speeds on Tarka in knots???
I used to have a Watkins 27. Great for sailing around Florida and the Caribbean. Not really blue water. Beaching is not recommended. However she can get into some shallow water. Expect 3 to 5 knots tops.
Well thanks for the info Fred! Truly appreciate that. We figured because of size, and the amount of people we have board, not a good idea to try anything major. But Florida and the Caribbean for now, which we are still learning to sail, till we get a larger vessel, it’s perfect for us, we do know she does very well in skinny waters, and we learned the very hard way, NOT to beach a Watkins 27, (Horrifying Experience)
Regarding the mast climbing, check out our videos, we have an "extras" video on this exact subject.
I didn't think you were allowed to kitesurf in San Blas
True. Most of San Blas you are not allowed to Kitesurf.
Maravilha!
I heard that youre selling Tarka? Hope everything comes together for you personally and you will continue on with your YT series albiet on a larger different Tarka? Are you still accepting patreon donors? Peace.
👍👍
shark fin soup is awesome
Have you change yours plans? pacific or selling tarka?
Hi Marcos, plans are unchanged.
What do you use for your editing software?
what are your plans for getting thru panama?
Spoiler alert, we already did it, and we'll talk all about it in great detail.
@@TheAdventuresofTarka badass!!! so happy to hear about it... safe travels.
Nice..🌎😍😚⛵💑🎊🎉💐
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🏻😎
What proof do you have this fish is invasive? How do you know sharks are declining? Curious aboot your fact checking standards. Thanks.
Why don't you eat the Lion Fish? I heard they are tasty.
you could say lionfish are....grrrrreat!
lionfish are grrrreat!
We do eat the lionfish, but this time we let the sharks enjoy it. :)
moon tide, hurricanes, shifting shoals = boat graveyard
second lol
FIRST! Jaja!
Does she speaks the videos? Your voice is or how you speak is very monotonous and this makes at least this video unfortunatelly boring, sorry I want only help, that you can have may be more followers ;-) Any way good luck on your way
