A daughter of a Merchant Sailor who never wanted his little girl to go to sea. At 54 I realise I have a dream to sail, to test myself and at the very least to TRY. Life gets in the way but after watching this I know my time will come, I know I will get my chance its just a matter of timing. This made me cry, it was humbling and the crew were simply amazing. The narration sent shivers down my spine as did the filming. I would say this video would give anyone who wants to go on a sailing adventure a pure, no cgi, no editing just an honest view of what you can expect. Well done to everyone.
I cannot agree with you more I am only 20 but my entire life I’ve dreamed of sailing on a boat like this with a crew I can call family and just to see the distant sunrise coming over the horizon as we wake up on another day on the big ocean I just hope I get to see it one day that’s the only way I’ll feel accomplished in life and yet I’m watching this a year late it still warms my heart that there is hope that one day I will make my dream a reality
@@ITopSoTI DO it you have nothing to lose. I’m a mum I am the responsible one - a child doesn’t ask to be born, it takes two people to create a life,unfortunately only one person understood the concept of being a parent!!!! I wish, at TIMES, I could have put on my jacket and left. I stayed. IF I was 20 & had my time again!!! Ha ha ha yup I’d make mistakes but damn they would be MY mistakes & I would be a force to reckon with! She’s there still she’s just buried deep
The Voyage film- is for everyone! The Voyage itself is not. "People tell you where to go, they tell you where they've been- but till you get there yourself you never really know." - Joni Mitchell. Hard is the voyage with a crew who are divided or contrary. We may never know the full dynamics of this crew but what I see they were fantastic! An excellent peek through a keyhole into a great lifestyle as big as the Atlantic. Only in stepping through the door can one really know a rabbit hole or stairway to heaven.
Great job, crew! I did a short delivery on a 40' ft sailboat from Hawaii to Seattle about 40 years ago. I always wanted to be on the sea again. This is the real deal.
Dear Richard! A huge big thank for publishing this film from this very unique voyage. Honestly, this is my first ever long-range voyage "on" a tall ship (though I'm an experienced yacht racer. ) I've loved every moments of the film. What makes the film experience even higher is that I have had sharp memories of the fears and of thouse late-march days of 2020. We, landlocked people tried that time to get out of the scares of this sudden pandemy madness. When you set sail from Ushaia, e.g. parallel we concluded, so we would stop the continuous fear from the disease, and we had to do hiking tours to mother nature, just in order to leave the closedness behind us. Your voyage is more then rememberful and charming: bark Europa might have provided you with the safest little island on Earth. It is great to see the various moments of your onboard life, how excellently you could cooperate together. From seeing your film I was able to realize, why I loved sailing so much! Thank you and the entire crew for the experience I received with following your days. And special respect for taking thouse high seas so safely. Just seeing on screen how a big hull cuts the waves, is a breathtaking experience. I hope so all you are well nowadays, and I wish all the best, and -the mostly- fair winds to the crew and to you! The Voyage is a great film of your advanture!
Excellent film, beautiful camera work. 80 plus days at sea would certainly have some trying times, but most definitely a trip of a life time . Well done Captain Eric and Crew! Nice to see a few familiar faces. Vlad Cape to Cape '17
Thanks for taking us along on your adventure. It’s great to see real people doing real things instead of sitting in front of a video monitor pretending to do real things.
Speak for yourself if people enjoy sitting in front of a monitor and it's what they enjoy doing there is nothing wrong with that. We ain't all the same.
Sure the best video ive seen on youtube, as marine master with always a persuiting dream of getting chance to master a sailing lady, being a sailor since i can remember it really touched me! THANK YOU!:)
I came across this through your question the Neale James. this is an excellent film, beautifully shot, and the rawness and connection to the people on board comes through in your words. Superb photo of the wave also, well done
What an epic journey! Sailing is a tough job that only looks easy on pictures, but it's so much rewarding and unique experience. Freedom ♥️ well done Crew!
A really fantastic film to watch as a landlubber - not something at 82 I will be doing, altho I did make 2 transAtlantic /Caribbean voyages many years ago on some of the last transatlantic liners (1962, 1968), very enjoyable, altho not something I wish to repeat ! Very courageous of all the sailors, and I am just so happy you all got back to your port safely !
Wonderful sail on a gorgeous ship and a really cool crew whom are sincerely friends for life now, I enjoyed watching, I'm also a sailor and I single handed a 1000 nautical miles myself....
I sailed on the Ice patrol ship HMS Endurance in 1981 our journey started in the uk and down the South American coast to Antartica on the way back we stopped in Ushuaia and Punta Arenas a journey I will never forget, this vlog brings back many memories.
Wow, just wow! Male and female crew all doing what used to be considered men's work. Epic adventure. And the videography, no camera crew, producers, just you. Great job!!
This has got to be one of the best of the best films of how we the people can work together we live together my hat off to the crew God bless all of you and thank you .
I followed every step of this epic journey online, and it's nice to see it on video as well. A great adventure in some ways, but it must have been hard for the crew who were expecting to fly home to their friends and families. A real testament to the dedication, skill and masterful seamanship of the Europa crew (and nice to see a few familiar faces too).
Really enjoyed this doc...some beautiful shots and well put together congratulations to all the crew for taking care of an old girl! Hope there will be more Voyages!
A fantastic film. Thankyou so much for sharing. My short time on Europa was a life changing event. I will treasure my memories of her and my fellow shipmates for the rest of my life.
what a Voyage and what a nice video! i love it. once.....i don't know when but once I will join for a trip, not that long but a shorter one...... once I will join....
What amazing film Richard ! Excellent capture of life of sailors on the sea. I was doing sport sailing the whole my life but this is beyond any experience I had. Fantastic photos, I loved it. Great job, I enjoyed a lot !
Great film, Ricky! We were lucky (?) to be able to get of the ship just in time, whilst the world was shutting down and you were starting the adventure of a life-time. This film captures really nice the feeling of being on a sailing ship in the middle of the ocean, with this amazing crew! Camerawork was - as expected - excellent. Hope to be able to sail on this magnificent ship once more ... Antarctica '20
What an adventure. I'm sat in my van looking out over the Lincolnshire Wolds having watched your journey and it was the perfect meditation. I hope one day to experience something similar 🙏
I work on schooners in Casco Bay and Penobscott Bay, and we never get far offshore. I'm stuck on land for school at the moment and this made me cry thinking about sailing again.
What a fantastic film! Even though this voyage was out of the ordinary, due to the circumstances, I'd love to do a voyage like this some day. Way out of my budget, though! One can dream.
I heard this mentioned on the Photography Daily podcast and was intrigued. Lovely film, really enjoyed it. The voiceover was authentic, I'd say perfectly suited. You have me inspired.

Go to sea and fulfil your dreams!!, I have been at SEA for more than 40 years and i dream of more 😀
I know it is often said. But go now.i have just returned from 8 months away on my boat after cancer.no symptoms - you just never know.
One of the most impressing videos I ever saw on TH-cam.
Same
My favourite thing on TH-cam! Really high production values - great cameras, shots, editing, pace, music, tone, script and narration. Well done.

A great voyage and film. I'm sure those young sailors will remember it for the rest of their lives.
Thank You Captain, Thank You Crew, Thank you filmmakers, and everyone else connected with telling this tale of the high seas! Absolutely riveting!
I came across this through your question the Neale James. this is an excellent film, beautifully shot, and the rawness and connection to the people on board comes through in your words. Superb photo of the wave also, well done
So beautifully presented ….love to all the crew
Expertly filmed, edited and narrated.
Absolutely loved this! What a ship, what a crew, what a voyage... and what a video! Bravissimo!
One of the best things for young people to do! From an old sailor.
Well, it's also doable if already older. All the info is on they're website. :)
I've just finished my first week of sailing on the Eendracht and am planning my next trip on the Bark Europa. This is a perfect introduction!
Fantastic effort by the Captain and Crew. I sailed on Europa in 2010 and long to be back.
What an epic journey! Sailing is a tough job that only looks easy on pictures, but it's so much rewarding and unique experience. Freedom ♥️ well done Crew!
Brings back memories. Europa has the best sounding & loudest horn ever!

Hello Richard 🙋🏼♀️
Thank you very much for this experience!
Love ❤ and greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 to you, the crew and of course to the ⛵️ EUROPA
Great film. I really enjoyed it.
I sailed on the Lord Nelson in the Tall Ships 2000 race. I remember seeing Europa and admiring how she looked under full sail
Oh to be young again, fantastic voyage, brilliant ♥️
Amazing photography.
Loved the video . Great teamwork and fantastic life experience for all of crew . I would have loved doing this 50 years ago.
What an excellent film.
Awesome!! What a great passage! Congrats to you all
Boatswain, aye. Thank you for sharing your joy for life.
Great film. It's cinema quality document. Well done 👏
Fantastic footage and narration, thank you for sharing !
Just a wonderful piece of adventure. God bless and following seas..
What an adventure. I'm sat in my van looking out over the Lincolnshire Wolds having watched your journey and it was the perfect meditation.
I hope one day to experience something similar 🙏
Truly an Epic trip caught on camera... one that I'm sure never to be forgotten. Safe travels.
I work on schooners in Casco Bay and Penobscott Bay, and we never get far offshore. I'm stuck on land for school at the moment and this made me cry thinking about sailing again.
We are all stuck ashore now I am afraid.
The sombreros! That was super cute.
prekrásny dokument chlape! ... slzička na konci :)
Tak to som naozaj rád, že sa to páčilo a aj že si to našlo cestu na Slovensko :)
Hell of a way to get somewhere. But that ship ! That ship !
Beautiful documentary...just beautiful...thank you very much for sharing this extraordinary journey!!!
Amazing film!
Amazing work! This is truly something else!
Oh guys! You're just crazy! It's incredible trip! I'm so impressed! Thanks for sharing!😍👍
Thank you for a wonderful video.
WOW, IM DAZZELD, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR AMAZING EXPERIENCE : VERY MOTIVATING !!!!!
What a fantastic film! Even though this voyage was out of the ordinary, due to the circumstances, I'd love to do a voyage like this some day. Way out of my budget, though! One can dream.
20:00 definitely the most entertaining part of the documentary.
An unexpected Oddesy. I'd say one of the BEST COVID experiences in the World. Welcome home from the cruise of a Lifetime. Well Done. :-)
I heard this mentioned on the Photography Daily podcast and was intrigued. Lovely film, really enjoyed it. The voiceover was authentic, I'd say perfectly suited. You have me inspired.
Bravo....... All of u....

Such a nice and wonderful travel across the ocean. Like the old days.
What an adventure!!!
Beautiful crew.
Beautiful vessel.
Beautiful seas.
