What an amazing reception! I feel like a few of the "more civilised" countries could learn a thing or two from these beautiful people. Another great video from you two, thank you.
Once again your videos are done so well ! It’s like you’ve brought us along with you . And that’s why I can’t wait for the next one . New countries are so exciting especially with a welcoming like that ! The world needs to see more of all the friendly people greeting you and know that in the real world everyone really wants to be good neighbors . Keep up the good work , and stay safe .
Stunning, just absolutely stunning 📷👀💙❗️. Fair Winds and Following Seas to you ❗️. What a breath of fresh air you bring to the world 😍. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing with us ❗️
Most people do not know the amount of planning, thought and post processing time that goes into a quality video of this caliber. (And the tears over the video footage that didn't make the final cut... and only you get to enjoy. But wait, no time for that because you are already working on the next episode.) Congratulations on your finely tuned skills. Really enjoy your videos, narration and production. Stay safe and God bless. (You ever notice sometimes it comes out even better than you planned and magic happens?)
Such a colorful and heart warming reception from lovely people with amazingly generous spirit. You both looked right at home in this Indonesian paradise. I love when you sail your dinghy too. Matt and Amy you are a cut above! I love your channel 🥰.
Thank you for your VLOG of your journey so far. It’s refreshing to see a couple like you doing the sailing around the world on TH-cam thing. Others I find, its more about them and not so much the journey and what you encounter. Thank you for doing the later.
awesome video guys! So good to see cruisers changing the wrong perceptions of these regions. I have found across Asia that ALL people are super friendly and helpful. God bless you!
😳 what a reception and sail there. Love how you two have evolved as vloggers and how you share your enthusiasm. Fair winds to both of you and know you are inspiring future full-time sailors.
time seems to slow down for me between your videos.... I love you two guys.... My current situation does not allow me to patronise, but make sure if win the lotto big prize tonight, I'll get you the yacht of your dreams... I really like everything about your adventure. From the approach to culture, people and wild life, to the sailing, the economy... everything. The video editing is very entertaining and enjoyable.... You can't see me, but most of the time I'm there with you two, very small, in cockpit, quiet but feeling all the same as you two do... Well, your videos make me feel that... Thanks...
Hey guys very good vlog along with filming and music. There were some scenes that looked right out of Hollywood. Well wish you guys a very safe journey in your destinations around the world.👍⛵😎🌎
sad to see you leave Australia, but i love that you visit the less seen parts of countries!!!! and instead of heading to a Zoo to see the animals you you look for them in the wild!!! keep up the good work, waiting for the next video
Really good film, thank you. I really do mean that, reminds me when I went to Syria when it wasn't on the tourist route, well before the current troubles. Alepo, Palmyra etc, then unspoilt, now very different.
What an amazing reception. In my limited travels around the world I have always experienced amazing warmth and welcoming gestures. Still remember visiting a city in central China, doing a bit of hiking and coming across a group of young children playing, maybe 8 or 10 years old. When they spotted me they all ran together and lined up. Then they all bowed in unison and loudly exclaimed in English: Welcome to China!
Thanks so much guys. You're video made me smile from start to finish. Excellent editing, great angles and cut to"s. Nothing too long but flows well. The people of indo seem so friendly and proud of their culture. Great skills shown in all your work. Thanks very much for the vicarious adventures. Glad we were friendlier than the kiwis said we'd be!! Lol.
I stopped at 9:35. It was just mentioned about a rally of boats? And easier with than without. What is a rally? Is that like a large group? I just got my US25 two months ago, my first boat, and I'm a complete novice. Learning the lingo.
Aren't those Hamilton Jets on those ferries designed and developed in New Zealand just amazing? Every time I watch one of your vids I am amazed at just how wonderful you both are and how much information you bring to the world. You two are simply great. BUT I'm afraid the All Blacks will probably win the Rugby World Cup! LOL. Hope you can watch it tonight. With much appreciation and love.
thank you for visiting indonesia, i watched you when the episode of panama and the canal. I recommend you to stop around the Jakarta Thousand Islands, before heading to the island of Sumatra and Bangka
Hi there,your decision to sail here,and at this time seems wonderful,I think I prefer the places less traveled,or off the touristy ways,hopefully you enjoy the more touristy places as well. Florence is sure giving you some memories that you’ll carry with you for a long time 🙂
Fantastic video, really lifted my soul, may I ask how you hooked up with the Rally? was it arranged way in advance? and any idea often rallies call in?
Hi Pete, Thank you. We contacted Raymond Lesmana who acted as our sponsor for checking into Indonesia, he also runs the rally, it happens each year although the route sometimes varies.
As you continue westward, are you planning on sailing the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. After all you are headed in that general direction. You two are excellent ambassadors for all of us in the western world. Thanks for taking the time and effort to show all of us all of the less traveled places you have visited.
Hi Robert, Thank you. We plan to go round South Africa, we're not to happy about the potential pirate situation on the red sea route. Also Madagascar looks like a great place to visit. :-)
Brings back many fond memories of my voyage from Canada to Thailand. Am currently in Phuket, Thailand. If I may be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact.
Great video. Congrats. You both seem very confident sailors. Have you been sailing since a young age? Have you done any of the RYA stuff (Competent Crew/Day Skipper/Yachtmaster) before embarking on your adventure? They must ask at least for an ICC in many countries. Thanks
Hi, We have both been sailing dinghies from a very young age and Matt has raced yachts. Before setting off we both completed our yacht master theory course, we felt we had enough practical experience not to need the practical course. Matt spent a day doing the ICC exam just in case we needed to show a certificate but we have never ever been asked to show it. M&A
I’ve gone through all your videos during the late nights with my newborn baby. Very much enjoyed them all, and an inspiration to go sailing! Are you aiming to head back via the suez or around the south of Africa?
Mirrors my experience traveling eastern Indonesia. A beautiful corner of this planet and amazing people! Any reason you are leaving out Raja Ampat / Papua from your itinerary? Anyway, I hope you enjoy your stay in Indonesia at least as much as I did! Love your videos!
Raja and Papua didn't quite fit from a timing and weather season perspective. There are so many beautiful places in the world that we can't visit them all.... Or maybe we are just saving them for the next lap?...
Foreigners (i.e. us) so that they could take their photos! ;-) They were just doing their jobs quickly and politely with a friendly smile. Indonesia is paperwork heavy and each department needed a representative...
The fastest and most well spent 16 minutes on TH-cam!
What an amazing reception! I feel like a few of the "more civilised" countries could learn a thing or two from these beautiful people.
Another great video from you two, thank you.
Lovely Video. Unlike many other sailing videos on TH-cam you guys visit some of the smallest islands and it's wonderful

You are the perfect goodwill ambassadors. Thank you bringing us a wonderful look at that part of the world.
I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this vid - one of the best I have seen!
Bagus sekali, this is so great, you are doing so well to publicise the warm and colourful reception available in this little visited part of Indonesia
Thank you for your VLOG of your journey so far. It’s refreshing to see a couple like you doing the sailing around the world on TH-cam thing. Others I find, its more about them and not so much the journey and what you encounter. Thank you for doing the later.

So inspiring...must get my own yacht!
Felt like I was with you guys on this one. Thanks for posting. VERY interesting indeed!
Wow what a welcome! Indonesia looks like it will be fabulous. Great video 😊
Great video! What a sensational welcome!
You've probably seen more of Australia's coast than I have.
I hope to see more of the coast soon.
Cheers Gray Brisbane Australia

Excellent show. Loved it, what a nice welcoming party
Looks like you had some fun and good times!

It is those kind of people and moments that will stay with you for ever.
Another great episode! Well done!
Sure beats tootleing around the river crouch in my Sadler. Totally green with envy but so inspirational. Thank you.
Once again, the filming, colors, subjects - well done! Thanks for the imagery! :¬) Webhead USA
This one made me drop a little tear, to see this in times where we let people die cause they come from a certain country gives some hope.
Just discovered this video. I'm thinking of starting sailing. Need more sources before I start
Wow, awesome place!
Alright you guys! Living the dream....better than reading a geography book... always good to be informed 1st. hand. Sail safe!🤗

Thanks Alan, looks like it might be our turn for the rugby silverware though ;-)
@@SailingYachtFlorence Mmmmm.... looks like you are right. A very well deserved win. England will be the next Rugby World Champs. Well done.
Great vid. Enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing. 😃🐟🐟🐟👍

Hi Pete, Thank you. We contacted Raymond Lesmana who acted as our sponsor for checking into Indonesia, he also runs the rally, it happens each year although the route sometimes varies.
I just found you on the interweb ! I am now on board !
How are you guys NOT over 100k subs? Love your content and how you deliver it to us.
As you continue westward, are you planning on sailing the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. After all you are headed in that general direction.

Cracking Video. Started watching a few other sailing videos and found myself noticing how much they were motoring... very annoying🤣.
All the best👍
Brings back many fond memories of my voyage from Canada to Thailand. Am currently in Phuket, Thailand. If I may be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact.
Can you tell me the name of the song at 13:00 in the video? I love it!
I hope you will finish your journey... i started watching your video from atlantic to pacific.. now heading to indian ocean,, if im right..
Hi Richard, Yep, Indian ocean next year, round SA, up to the Caribbean and then back to England in 2022. At least that is the current plan :-)
Ever thought of having a meet up somewhere in the world?
I couldn’t quite make out what you did to expedite checking in to Indonesia.
Great video. Congrats. You both seem very confident sailors. Have you been sailing since a young age? Have you done any of the RYA stuff (Competent Crew/Day Skipper/Yachtmaster) before embarking on your adventure? They must ask at least for an ICC in many countries. Thanks

@@SailingYachtFlorence Thanks for your reply. All the best. I love your videos.
welcome in kei island
im sad youve left Australia! the Kai Islands people seem to have a beautiful culture
What a welcoming :))
Hey guys love the content, really nice opening too! We're a fellow sailing channel/couple, hopefully see ya out there! Cheers!
I’ve gone through all your videos during the late nights with my newborn baby. Very much enjoyed them all, and an inspiration to go sailing!
Are you aiming to head back via the suez or around the south of Africa?
Hi, We are planning on going around South Africa, returning to England in 2022 so a long way to go yet :-)
Massive improve on the video quality, the new go pro is doing a good job. Which one is it 7 black?
Thanks, yes it is the 7 black
3 and a half years away.. Wow that's amazing. What about your passports? won't they expires soon?
We have a while yet thankfully!
Good job guys :)
Mirrors my experience traveling eastern Indonesia. A beautiful corner of this planet and amazing people! Any reason you are leaving out Raja Ampat / Papua from your itinerary? Anyway, I hope you enjoy your stay in Indonesia at least as much as I did! Love your videos!
Raja and Papua didn't quite fit from a timing and weather season perspective. There are so many beautiful places in the world that we can't visit them all.... Or maybe we are just saving them for the next lap?...
Amazing reception. Wouldn't know how to act if given such a welcome. Guess I'd feel unworthy
What were those 11 officials on board your boat expecting to find?
Foreigners (i.e. us) so that they could take their photos! ;-) They were just doing their jobs quickly and politely with a friendly smile. Indonesia is paperwork heavy and each department needed a representative...
❤️
You must must must visit raja ampat Not that far from kalo island
At sironjong
I heard a bit of Australian in saying "Wakatobi". Don't know how you'd feel about that.
ha ha :-) Our accents are going to be completely scrambled by the time we get back to England!
There were a group of Aussies have been working in the area near Wakatobi last 15 years
👍🌊🎣⛵💯
im indonesian raised and born... and still doesnt know that there are so many prople using boat coming to Indonesia
Must be nice being celebrities!!
For about 10 minutes it is a novelty, but that soon wears off! Very friendly people here though :-)
