Happy birthday Liam. I'm sure this is late but thanks for sharing your experience on cheeky monkey. Hope your new adventures are as much fun. Thanks to everyone that produces these great videos.
Oh I am so excited. I found your channel about a month ago and I have had to continuously remind myself that you were on a long passage and you wouldn't be updating for a few weeks. So glad it's finally happened!
Great show guys! Awesome casting, music and the best editing by far I've seen on sailing adventures here in you tube. Be safe and big thanks for sharing.
Great video, my favourite to date from you all! The footage of Fatu Hiva is absolutely stunning, really does a good job of showing what it's like there. Keep living the dream!
I think this is the first time I have actually seen the stars on any youtube video. That is a little piece of magic you should be proud to have captured.
@liam first of all, *happy birthday!!* what a way to celebrate! @kristi good luck on your new business venture! @jemma @ liam safe travels! 5:59 - 6:43 was so freakin' chill! the emotions conveyed in this portion of the video was very moving! and then followed by a gorgeous sunrise. so copacetic!! another great story told via video. looking forward to another video, just sorry the next topic has to be about parting ways. you all were a great crew! thanks for bringing us along for the journey! =:) *glad you all made it safe!!*
Congratulations on your Pacific crossing this is by far my favourite video sofar... I cannot think of a better way to celebrate a birthday. Sunrise, Ocean crossing, Dolphins, Stunning location and great friends Happy birthday Liam.
Wow, so cool to see so many kids sailing around the world! What a life for those young ones. They get such an education, do you think the even know how valuable it is to be doing this? Great video.
Luv you guys. I have watched every video, keep up the great work!!!!! My dreams have changed since I started watching your channel. I hope to one day in the near future sail away like you guys are. Thank you for such great motivation!!!!
Another outstanding video. I loved the singing of "Wagon Wheel" D. Walker. What I like more was the showing in the video of everyone getting together for a party. It shows no matter what is happening between governments, people can get along.
I know that you will see this after your birthday, but Happy Birthday Liam! Thank you all for the great memories that you share with us! Hope that you had an AWESOME Birthday!
Thank you for keeping me entertained while at work. Currently saving up to build houses in Nicaragua for those in need. My mother grew up sailing the world with her father. I've made short trips here in California to Catalina Island but it's always been a dream of mine to go long distance sailing!
Congradulations on another successful crossing! It's so amazing to watch you do something that few people get to do and I'm green with envy ;-) You all looked so relaxed this time, like its old hat in comparison to the pacific crossing. Thank you for sharing your adventures! Happy Birthday Liam 🎂
Very good videos, commentary and a great core crew. Ryan makes "laid back" sound hectic. I watch a lot of sailing vids. Yours are among the very best. Keep it up and enjoy the cruising life. Fair winds.
Tasha, Happy Birthday Liam! This is one of my favorite episodes :) Its cool how all of the yachties are friendly and nice to each other. Also, I believe it is said Fe Lay or Fe laying ;)
first i must say happy b'day Liam. another cool video, way to go 18 days is quite an accomplishment, must be captain ryans white board with all the schedules, but of course it takes the crew to execute, congrats to one and all. fatu hiva looks awesome. looking forward as usual to the next step in the journey. you kids are AWESOME!!!
Great job on the 19 day crossing and you couldn't have timed it more perfectly to celebrate a birthday. Sorry to see the 3 of you go, especially Jemma.
Great video! Happy Belated B-Day Liam! Sad to see the crew leave but I'm sure you'll find more or maybe enjoy a bit of alone time before then. I really hope in the next video that the whole crew gets to spend time with Ryan and Nicole on Two Afloat Sailing before they depart. Also maybe help promote their channel as SLV did. Maybe when the time comes that Ryan can't sail safely some wonderful cruisers like yourselves or SLV with a nice big Cat will invite them on board for a bit. On another note great job with the fishing! Reel up, no clicker, no high sticking or jerky rod movements! Wahoo makes amazing sashimI also!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIAM... sorry, i was click "Likes" and "Comments" before i was watching ur videos ehehe has anyone did the same thing? ehehe.. was very cool
A crossing to the Marquesas in 19 days!! That is phenomenal... Buddy Epson (Beverly Hillbillies) who was a big sailor said "There only 3 types of sailboats: cats, cat and a halfs, and half cats. A cat is where it's at" Happy Birthday Liam!
Your fishing "skillit's" look like they've improved. Two thumbs up👍👍. It's looking like your having an amazing time. Some day some way I'll check that off my bucket list. Until then thanks for sharing. And happy late birthday.😎
Wow! Love this video, I just keep watching it to get a Cheeky Monkey fix. Kristi, You are one awesome videographer and editor! I know you'll be missed aboard. And, Tasha, I heard you playing "Brown-Eyed Girl." Good on ya! Looking forward to the next video. Peace & Love to all of you!
I'm gonna miss that beautiful accent Kristi. Good luck with your new ventures. Thank God Tasha is still there, now I can enjoy the accent a bit longer :D Greetings from Sydney :) :) :)
Great video. Very good fishing. I made a similar crossing last April from Cabo to Fatu Hiva on a Jeanneau 45 with two friends. It took us just under 19 days. Fatu Hiva was stunning but pretty rainy. Hopefully the customs boat won't show up as Fatu Hiva is not a port of entry and they could issue a fine to boats that have not checked in properly. We took that chance too and didn't have a problem but we did see the customs boat later in the Tuamotus and Societies. Hiva Oa and Nuku Hiva are ports of entry so you are likely heading to one or both of them. We didn't have your luck fishing - we kept hooking large Marlin that broke off taking our best lures but tuna, wahoo, etc are available for cheap from local fishermen. BTW there are grocery stores on all the inhabited islands in the Marquesas but be prepared for sticker shock. Best availability is right after the supply ship arrives. No large grocery stores until you get to the Societies.
I noticed that the labels were still on the cans. I heard (from watching Delos?) that bugs lay eggs on the labels, then hatch out while you're sailing around. Remove the labels and use a sharpie on the top of the can to identify what's inside... Happy Sailing :)
Happy birthday Liam. I'm sure this is late but thanks for sharing your experience on cheeky monkey. Hope your new adventures are as much fun. Thanks to everyone that produces these great videos.
Hey Mama Rock Me - love that song! Happy Birthday Liam and awesome video Cheeky Monkey!
Oh I am so excited. I found your channel about a month ago and I have had to continuously remind myself that you were on a long passage and you wouldn't be updating for a few weeks. So glad it's finally happened!
+Amber Rodman Hope you enjoyed the latest video and thanks for watching!
Great show guys! Awesome casting, music and the best editing by far I've seen on sailing adventures here in you tube. Be safe and big thanks for sharing.

Great video, my favourite to date from you all! The footage of Fatu Hiva is absolutely stunning, really does a good job of showing what it's like there. Keep living the dream!
+Mark Andreassen It really is a stunning place!
Thanks Mark! That means so much...one of my favorites too!
great job on the fish Tasha. I'm so envious of you folks. keep bringing the videos!
Happy Birthday to Liam I believe it was.
I think this is the first time I have actually seen the stars on any youtube video. That is a little piece of magic you should be proud to have captured.
Also worthy of note is their ability to capture some pretty amazing full moons in their videos
Simply amazing. The way life should be from time to time if not always.
Love how you all are making new friends around the world! Thank you for taking us along on this trip!!
@liam first of all, *happy birthday!!* what a way to celebrate!

+Ryan Yates We need more Ryans out here! :D
Love the sail in the dark with all the lights

Great video! Happy Belated B-Day Liam! Sad to see the crew leave but I'm sure you'll find more or maybe enjoy a bit of alone time before then. I really hope in the next video that the whole crew gets to spend time with Ryan and Nicole on Two Afloat Sailing before they depart. Also maybe help promote their channel as SLV did.

It's looking like your having an amazing time. Some day some way I'll check that off my bucket list. Until then thanks for sharing. And happy late birthday.😎
+THEDUDE! Thanks mate!!
Thanks for sharing the story ! I've enjoyed chasing it. Just finished catching up on the whole adventure. Amazing! Now go cuddle a cockroach Tasha 😋
Tell Liam that I'm a big fan of Old Crow Medicine Show. Great episode guys. Sorry to see Krista leave. She does a great job with the vids.
Thanks so much! It was sad to leave, but editing the videos is bringing back some pretty awesome memories!
Fantastic video
more fish.. looks so much fun!
+Russ Cattell Shame we didn't know you when we left La Rochelle! We could have met for a drink.
Wow! Love this video, I just keep watching it to get a Cheeky Monkey fix. Kristi, You are one awesome videographer and editor! I know you'll be missed aboard. And, Tasha, I heard you playing "Brown-Eyed Girl." Good on ya! Looking forward to the next video. Peace & Love to all of you!
FIL-ITS? FA-LAYS LOL . Love it!
A great story Kristi! Nice work. Best wishes to you on the next chapter.
Thank you so much!
Loved everything about this!!! :-)
That was a really cool video and, Tash, your hair looks lovely when you have it lose!!
+John Erlebach Why thank you, John!
I'm gonna miss that beautiful accent Kristi. Good luck with your new ventures.
Thank God Tasha is still there, now I can enjoy the accent a bit longer :D Greetings from Sydney :) :) :)
happy birthday liam, and bon voyage and good luck to the three of you. july 11, 2016.
Video nicely done. Love the cat photo bomb
Thank you!!
Your vids are getting really good.
Great video. Very good fishing. I made a similar crossing last April from Cabo to Fatu Hiva on a Jeanneau 45 with two friends. It took us just under 19 days. Fatu Hiva was stunning but pretty rainy.

AMAAAAAAAAAAAZING! Best episode yet! Sad to see Kristi go tho!
Great video as usual :)
Beautiful
Such great vibes:)
I noticed that the labels were still on the cans. I heard (from watching Delos?) that bugs lay eggs on the labels, then hatch out while you're sailing around. Remove the labels and use a sharpie on the top of the can to identify what's inside... Happy Sailing :)
dtto. also, the t is silent in cutting up a fish.
Yep remove labelled and wipe everything including fruits and vegetables with a bleach/water bottle.
19 day's,..crikey mate 😲, good on ya 👍 😆.
Although we don't currently have plans to sail the SP, Fatu Hiva is still one place I really want to make landfall someday!
+MJ Sailing You'll love it if you do Jessica!
What FUN!
Awesome !
