You Two remain our all time favorite sailing couple to watch on TH-cam 🥰… fantastic episode! A taste of everything… friends, diving, gorgeous photography above and below the water, cooking (yum! 🤤I remember💕) … & sailing, sailing, sailing. Thanks for sharing so much with us. Hugs to you!
Joan, you’re the best! We have so many great memories from our Pacific crossing together, and having you with us made it unforgettable. So glad you enjoyed the episode-always awesome to hear when we hit the mark!! Sending big hugs to you and Fernando!! 😊😊😍😍❤️❤️
Again, Kristin, another real life few days in the life of two wonderful explorers ‼️ Your voiceover philosophy continues to inspire me. “ The sea is indifferent to our struggles or problems.” Best wishes in conquering your new steering system refit. See you next time. ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝️👙🌞✨
I recognize the sick coral from our own personal coral reef tank that we used to have in Colorado. That's tragic! Thanks for bringing it to our attention. The more exposure; hopefully, we can work together to help these sort of issues.
The Magic Carpet bleaching 😥 can't believe the difference in a year! Also had no idea that the knobhead wrasse eat the crown of thorns! Thanks for a great video!
Since our knowledge of livespan of marine life is limited, we could only speculate about the cause(s) by watching what has changed recently. As the sea's are one connected body, it should not surprise that all we put into the water, can be found somewhere. E.G. a recent study showed that persistent UV-blocker, as used in sun cream, and known as harmful for those ecosystems, can even be detected in whitened corals now.
You’re correct-we’re still learning about marine life and there is a lot of guesswork. Thanks for watching and for your comment. It’s clear that what we put in the water affects ecosystems everywhere, and that study on sunscreen chemicals showing up in corals really drives it home. Appreciate the reminder!
Great video! Love all the Diving. I hope you video All the Steering upgrades and refit. Ok until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! Aloha and cheers 🍻
Beauty of the underwater! Sharks wall is stunning! Compilation and BGM super ! Dolphins are almost recognizing the catamaran everywhere ?! Beloved so much😊 Fabio cooking always reliefs me
By now you should be in the middle of the refit. I am so glad that you are getting a new steering assembly. Big job but I am sure you guys can handle it. Looking forward to seeing the new setup.
Loved the voice overs Kristin!! This was an awesome video with a lot going on. It was crazy to see the bleaching of the coral let’s hope it comes back. The new spinnaker is beautiful!! Fabio is an amazing chef!! I’m happy Wanderlust is getting the steering fixed looking forward to hearing more about that. You two are an amazing team keep up the great work and be safe out there!
Thank you for the fascinating National Geographic introduction about coral sea life and its impact on the ecosystem and those who rely on it for their livelihoods and natural resources. I must say, Fabio is truly a culinary master. His passion for food is evident and resonates deeply, perhaps because food has a unique way of bringing people together in both social and personal gatherings. I’m eager to return to Tahiti someday. As someone of Polynesian descent from New Zealand, I find our cultures to be very similar in language and history. I particularly enjoy staying on Moorea rather than the mainland. Thanks again for the vlog-I thoroughly enjoyed it. Wishing you all safe and happy travels!
What a wonderful comment!! Thank you for taking the time to watch and express your reaction!! It’s really great for us to hear what our audience thinks about our videos! 😊😊😊🙏😀
What wonderful comments you two are getting as you travel with the ocean, appreciating that it cares not a jot that you are there. The gains' being more subtle as you realise the folly. On a practical note have you been chatting to Paul Badenhorst about the Oxley?
Thank you so much, receiving comments is wonderful on its own, and when they are positive we find energy in them to continue our creative efforts. Being able to express our thoughts with our audience is a great gift, but we are humans and positive reinforcement is always appreciated, cannot deny 😊😊🤩. Fabio is in the Oxley group on FB and reads posts form Paul who seems to be extremely knowledgeable about sailing and this sail in particular. Would love to meet him sometimes.
Diving vids are awesome. Great sharks and all too much bleaching. I’ve seen it on several dive trips over last few years. Glad to see you are getting the steering fixed…it’s kind of important. Donate for a Dream
Fantastic!! Nothing like the smell of freshly baked bread, the crunch of the crust, the soft, steamy and airy crumb. Looking forward to hearing how it tastes! 🤩
I would not worry yourselves or fret when you see coral bleaching events in areas that you were diving around the world ,as corals have shown that they have a real hardiness and ability to cope with such seemingly disastrous occurrences. As you know, Australia is boarded by the Great Barrier Reef in the northeast and west coasts. The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) has been worked on by numerous scientists over the last 50 years. A renown scientist called Dr Peter Ridd has been studying the GBR for 40 years and published a number of papers on his research. He correctly counters all that the mainstream media puts out regarding the doom, gloom and ultimate death proposed for our GBR by governments and mainstream media outlets. And when you think about what he is saying he is factually correct that bleaching events are rare, localised and able to renew growth shortly afterwards. I'll put a link to one of his latest videos regarding such claims. The waters on the GBR range between 26º and 28°C and yet in places like Asia and Micronesia corals excel in their growth in 30° plus waters, so clearly, temperature alone is not the only cause. In addition Recent coral events in Australia has been followed by miraculous growth, reaching levels not seen in a long time. Clearly these events are cyclical and possibly more linked to rapid changes in temperature rather than just a 'rise' in temperature as many will posit. The link to Peter's recent post. I can't recommend his channel on YT. th-cam.com/video/gs93w1_27m4/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUNZHIgcGV0ZXIgcmlkZA%3D%3D Fair 💨's and following 🌊's!
Thank you for the very knowledgeable explanation!! We are mere observers who were shocked by the difference we saw in the coral one year after our first observation. We truly hope that the coral will bounce back in the Magic Carpet and regain its health as you so eloquently describe in your comment. 😊😊😊
We don’t. There will be different opinions in the comments. It important that we keep an open mind and respect each other while disagreeing. We are truly concerned about the environment and want to document what we see without bias and prejudice. It essential to be able to understand an opposing view by approach it with curiosity, thorough research and engage respectfully.
Exactly. People love to think that the earth is a "constant". It isn't and never has been. Coral comes and goes. Hard corals die off and soft corals replace them. Unfortunately, the money is made from fear, not commonsense.
@@southernfriedkiwi7726 Well that's the thing isn't it. They have to keep saying it's (the reef) is doomed or their research funding dries up. If the Reef was in great shape - they'd all be out of jobs...

Sierra is a super cute and bright child!! We are grateful that Brian and Karin let her babysit Fabio when I go diving 😊😊🤣
Thank you.
Thank you for watching and for commenting 😊😊😊
Love the cooking you guys always do. I would love if you would add in video or in description the details of the recipes. Thanks.
Thank you😊😊😊!! That’s a great idea, we will find a way to add to the description or to our website with link. 😊😊🙏🙏
@@HarborsUnknown Yes, would love Fabio's recipe for that amazing bread dough he makes.
Thank you!! We will try to find a place to put the recipes!! 😊😊

Thanks guys, Fabio that Stromboli looked amazing. GO YODA. 👍🏻💕🐾🍖
Thank you 😊😊
That’s a great sail.
Thank you!! 😊
Lovely vlog, not sure reefies count as apex predators though, even in those numbers 😆
🤣🤣 you are correct and the only one who picked up on it so far!! Mid level predator at best 🤣🤣. Thank you for watching

👍, I’m going to start baking bread this fall.
Fantastic!! Nothing like the smell of freshly baked bread, the crunch of the crust, the soft, steamy and airy crumb. Looking forward to hearing how it tastes! 🤩
❤❤❤Thanks for being honest about the coral bleaching.
Those responsible , fossil fuel industry, need to stop killing the planet❤❤❤
😢😢🙏
Beautiful under water video
Thank you! 😊
hello there are nice pictures of the fish and you have good company in dingy,
