    Wonderful drama free crossing - great to have you back. Just a quick note about why so many people think you are the best. Have you noticed on many other sailing channels, many of the men are either monosyllabic and curt or a little smug or incompetent or (and this is the biggy) just plain old infuriatingly OCD - it's their way or the highway - and they run their boat like a mini fiefdom with their partners just agreeing to keep the peace. The both of you are down to earth, a great team, you obviously respect each others skills and attributes with out much ego or preaching to the audience. That's why we like you guys... I hope you don't stop you tubing. Big respect.

    I have to say I always throughly enjoyed traveling with you two!I hope you are both very happy now and every now and then I will watch Bora Bora like you are still out there cruising around.All your episodes are very good and I never get bored and want them to be over.😊

    For the past 3 years I have been recovering from a pretty serious illness. There have been countless times where I have been curled up watching your adventures and smiling from ear to ear. Thank you both for sharing what I think are the most genuine liveaboard videos on TH-cam. You have helped me get through some pretty dark times and with all of my heart I thank you. I wish both of you the best of luck in your future endeavours. When I put Killarney back in the water in May I will raise a glass to Bora Bora. ☺🍺

    Don't you find life ashore rather boring now after all your adventures together at sea? Such a wonderful sailing couple and miss you being out there allowing me to live an exciting life vicariously through your day to day adventures

    We are also full time cruisers (in a much smaller and lighter boat) and for my wife and i, you two have been the ultimate cruising couple with the ultimate cruising boat. Will never forget you changing a thru hull mid Atlantic - watching that gave us the confidence to change one of thru hulls (without hauling), mid marina :). Similarly, we will never forget you guys baking over a hot oven in the tropics. Wishing you both well.

    As most people have said below, it has been such a treat to ‘travel’ with you both over the last three years.
    Bittersweet, I am sure, coming home.
    I followed your track as you came back across the Atlantic last summer, and I’ve deliberately put off watching your last episode as I didn’t really want the journey to end... Took a lockdown to finally do it.
    Stay safe, you lovely couple.. Thankyou

    Rarely do I feel a connection with strangers posting videos on TH-cam. Thank you both for providing such wonderful content over the course of your trip, for sharing the good and the difficult and for sharing yourselves with all of us. I will truly miss seeing both of you!
    My very best to you from Canada, you’ve made me smile more than you’ll ever know, brilliant job!

  • @NZL50505
    @NZL50505 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Please don’t let this be the final episode! So keen to find out more about the arrival home, how it felt and your plans thereafter. You guys have been the best sailing vlog by far - sadly I found you too late but I promise I’ll be a gold sponsor / patreon if you decide to go cruising again (and I so hope you do)! Your content and editing has been perfect for my tastes, lots of sailing, a bit of ashore time, not too much music and plenty of inter-personal insights without being cheesy. There are 100s of other sailing channels but none as good as yours. Please don’t forget how much enjoyment you’ve brought to others as well as yourselves...

    @williamlinden68 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Glad you're safely back in home waters, just can't thank you enough for bringing us all along on this adventure. As I do my day trips and long weekends on my trawler, your videos gave me the freedom to dream of really big open waters..thank you thank you thank you!

    Wow! We know you made it back to Blighty but it was worth watching you do it. You've been an inspiration for us so and we are following in your wake albeit a few years behind. We hope you aren't giving up the sailing life but if you have chosen to follow a new dream, all the best. We've loved your videos and hope that you keep up the vlogging no matter where life is about to take you, thank you ❤

    @michaelbundy3867 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    The only reason I started watching this channel,ages ago, is because I liked the boat. Wow it has been so much more than that. I really feel like I have been on this journey with you. The details you have gone into and the effort and time you have taken have made this channel amazing. Thanks so much. I'm really sad to see you go. I promise I will sign up to patreon if you carry on🙂

  • @RohanTheBT
    @RohanTheBT 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Thank you, great to see such a relaxed and competent couple doing long passages. Have followed you right from the beginning. At least one couple who won’t be switching to a catamaran! I would keep a strop around the boom for the mainsheet attachment. Metal gives way without warning and it’s difficult to check unless you have specialised equipment. A rope or webbing strap can be checked an easily replaced

    Hey guys ,Duncan here,just found ur vids ,brought tears to my eyes,been so long since the TURF hotel ,great to see u living the dream ,I have 7 mtre yacht for nearly a year ,living on mooring in Wellington ,nz ,Great filming ,good info, and well done .if you pop past TURF Hotel say high to every one .may u journey again soon ,may be south Pacific,,👍

      @sailingsvborabora8712  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Duncan! Amazing to hear from you!! It was surreal arriving back at Turf after 3 years of travels, but it's where it all began and will always be such a special place....still a few faces about but not the same without you and the old crew though 💕 glad you're doing well and still living the good life, if we ever come that way we'll give you a shout. Much love, Nicki x

    • @sailingsvborabora8712
      @sailingsvborabora8712  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hiya Duncan! How cool to hear from you. I'm glad to hear you still living a life afloat and It's a dam shame we didn't make it into the Pacific. NZ would have been a high light, for sure. Anyway, my crew told me to turn right at Granada or she would leave and that would have left me with no cook aboard, so we turned. One day perhaps, we will, but for now we have plans ashore. All the best mate, fair winds. Ben.

    I love your channel. You two are really onto something here...
    Some channels start in this manner, life at sea, life on board, then they morph into many things far less interesting such as catamaran reviews, onshore exploration, etc. Your channel is great and I love the camera work and editing! Also, you do not rely on drone shots! They all look the same! Cheers!
