By the way…no other sailing TH-cam channel comes anywhere close to you in documenting the enormity and tireless motion of the oceans….unbelievable! Thx, again, Andrew
Stunning images! I love Amy's comparison to waves and flames....they both roar! The pictures bring back thousands of memories, some where I had to look up to see the tops of the waves. I grew up aboard my Dad's boat. He was a skipper on his beloved "Sundance" sport fishing in the Pacific Ocean off of Westport Washington; I grew up loving every (sometimes harrowing) moment; love the sea! Of course absolutely no comparison to your remarkable bravery and adventure. I am 71 yrs old so in early days we had charts and bouy bells to follow but only rarely got caught in big seas/fog.I only watch your channel, just can't do anyone else. I'm not sure how I'll manage when you reach home...Thank you.
Def it! I was once in 40’ waves with my 23 ft sloop in the Atlantic going to the Caribbean 😂🤣😂 wave after wave washed totally over her for a day and a half! It grows hair on your chest quick!
As a 75 year old avid sailor, who has spent many of my years at sea in all kinds of crafts, and every experienced most kinds of storm you can imagine; however, I can only offer to you guys my sincere and deepest respect for your “journey” and adventure that couldn’t be verbalized; a testament to your great seamanship and photography and direction. Your presentation itself is exemplary and worthy of an equal to many documentaries from the majors. Well done indeed and thank you for allowing me (and everyone here) to enjoy every moment of that epic voyage, while personally bringing back long past memories and wry smiles. Thank you.
The emotion when Amy said “I love this boat” was felt. The feeling of knowing your life depends on something, and having confidence in that something, brings with it a love. ❤
Beautifully said, Daniel K....I sensed her emotion too. I thought how one can never give it up even if it stays mounted in the backyard, such a trusted friend.
When I sold my first little sailboat a couple of years ago I cried and felt sad I did things like varnishing I didn’t need to do as she was already sold , but I cared for the boat and wanted to pamper her as I knew we was parting company. I felt guilty selling her like I was cheating on a woman I loved, my real girlfriend didn’t get it but now with our bigger boat she finally does. Yeah so I felt it resonate too during this film I’ll call it a film because of the quality and what about that mood music spot on
Word - Ive been a mechanic all my life & I absolutely hear what you say. Sometimes something mechanical can serve us so well, trouble-free & reliably that it does pretty much take on the personality of a very loyal friend - pretty much like a living thing. Physically & technically it actually is.
@@Thomas-eu6fj, indeed this is the real stuff, exactly how it can be miles from land, Matt & Amy are a great team not only to function and cope in such conditions but to film and narrate too.
I've sailed your current route this year and after finding your content I have to echo what many others have said - your content is spectacular and the real deal. Equally you are also the real deal - and inspiring for anybody watching. Keep adventuring please!
Another excellent presentation. You have to admit it, you both are, in reality, true British sea-dogs. Your sea going experience shines through! Florence's sailing qualities have been well demonstrated! Cheers and beers.
Nothing is more terrifying than the prospect of pitch-poling. Those are gray beards and they have real teeth. Already having endured one knock down, Matt and Amy demonstrate actual true grit. Those were 30-40 foot waves! Well done!!!
The still picture of the translucent blue 0:44 wave with the dark cloud behind it is spectacular!!! I think it is the most beautiful picture of a 0:44 wave I have ever seen. You should win a award for it!!! Agree with others; best sailing You tube channel. You really captured it!! You both have such a stoic nature! I have sailed briefly in 40 knot winds it is exhausting. The sound of the wind and howling can drive you mad. Amy just sits there and says …”I love this boat!!” You are channeling Joshua Slocum. “ I saw weather coming and I Took in some reefs”
THIS is what true TEAMWORK looks like! Mad respect for Matt and Amy and the RESPECT they show for each other. Absolute legends! Florence is the star and we all love her. Brilliant sailing as usual. 🌈 💙 🌊 PS. Perfect music choices and at just the right dose.
That was so real, the sleep deprivation, bruises that you have no idea how you got them, wet or at best damp oilskins but then the exhilaration of surfing down breaking seas mixed with an element of anxiety. You captured the essence of heavy weather sailing perfectly. A warm welcome home to you next weekend, we hope to see you in Australia on the next lap.
Matt, Amy, I don’t have words to explain how I feel about watching you sailing these storms. Of course, this is nothing about me. I must say that respect for you heaves in my body. These were periods of life threatening winds and waves to a land lubber like me. We watched you work and ride through them, tweaking the boat, surviving by your wits, will and endurance. I could see and almost feel your fatigue, the stress and strain. When Amy smiled, I literally sighed with relief. God bless you, be with you and protect you. May he fortify you with knowledge, wisdom, understanding, strength and endurance. Thank you for sharing this…from east Tennessee.
I’ve cross the Atlantic in January from Europe to the Caribbean in the moore24,🥳 downwind on the outside of surfing, the 60 foot swells💪🏼😳🙏🏼 on a 15 day storm🫡🥳🐳 what a boat🙏🏼👍🏼😇 Mark, the shark🖖🏼
If there was an award for best photo/videography for shortanded Atlantic crossing (or anywhere) hands down it would be yours! Bravo! Bravissimo! Just found you folks and subbed. Can't wait to binj on your past videos! All the best to you both!!! ❤
I’m surprised you didn’t lose your Bimini or any other stationary canvas in the gale. I was once caught mid ocean in a Cat 1 hurricane in a 44’ mid cockpit sloop. It was up to God, enduring 3 days with almost no sleep, and our sea anchor. It cured me of whining to myself about things like three flight delays.
The wave videos are out of this world. Thank you for your artistic appreciation of what could be a terrifying endeavor. It's as being translated to another realm!
Absolutely awesome and terrifying at the same time. The photography and videography in this episode is award worthy! The best sailing channel on TH-cam hands down.
Without repeating myself Florence god bless her you are both deserving of a medal ya know makes me proud to be British well done Marty Australia cheers guys
In a modern sea of TH-cam sailors “Sailing Yacht Florence” is by far above all. Great cinematography documents what it’s really like to go sailing! Awesome stuff guys! ❤
Wow, what a fabulous production!! Your excellent videography and still photos really do convey the enormity of the sea state during this passage. I have deep admiration for both of you, and wish I could be in the UK for your arrival.
As an old man looking more backwards than forwards, i envy you two. I wish I had thought of doing something similar almost 40 years ago, but alas I was busy doing other more mundane things that seemed like a good idea at the time. On the other hand, I’ve seen 5 of the 7 continents and many of the wonders of the world so I can’t complain. You can only fit so much life in a life I guess. I can only say keep it up. One day your memories, and these videos, will be what sustains you.
you had to know when that sunrise was so red that you had incoming - I really enjoyed this video - that would have scared the crap out of me - looking forward to the next one
Congratulations on surviving this massive series of storms. I been watching the weather patterns leading up to your voyage and I must say with your experience you are rarest of ocean sailers in the world to have made it safely. Your documenting of this segment it was thrilling to watch but stressful as a long time viewer of your voyage’s as seen in your faces you been through a lot. I think your world voyage is worthy of motion picture movie. God speed to you!
Wow you two have guts you really do.. Reading the comments below I don't need to add anything.. its all been said. You're amazing that in the middle of that spin cycle you can find the time and the effort to pull out a camera and produce some amazing footage. Well done..
This episode is so mindblowing, i loose my english to express how i admire you for beeing so positive, makes me look at big waves with your eyes. i do love the way you feel the ocean. Thank you for sharing your love for ocean, Florence,. le reste en français, vous êtes les meilleurs et les plus sincères marins que je connaisse. Bon vent, from south of France
One of the very best sailing channels...You actually sail!!! not just party in your thongs. You are incredibly courageous taking care of your boat and each other with quiet confidence. Incredible. And then to top it off is the fantastic photography skills. So well done.
So glad Rolly Tasker Sails in Phuket made a STAYSAIL for you. It appears to have done full duty when conditions got tough. Amazing the sails have lasted as long as they have since Phuket.
I first saw your channel 6 months ago when I was researching asymmetrical spinnaker. I was surprised on how well the two of you get along on your small boat. I agree with the others that this video was very good in documenting the sea state.
Sailing under/thru the 🌈 was brilliantly unplanned and mind-blowing.👏 The vibrant colors seemed florescently powered. I'm looking forward to your completion the 23rd. I wish I could be there. Thanks for sharing another brilliant Atlantic sailing episode 🌬 ⛵️
We sailed in heavy weather (for our boat) off the Florida Keys.. I wish I could enjoy it and think it was fun, but it was scary. You guys make it look easy and it's inspiring. Thank you!
I so love to follow you guys and your journey. You are seriously amazing people - highly skilled sailers and delightfully positive. I has been such a pleasure following you through the years. Am really looking forward to your next adventure!
Absolutely brilliant video! I’ve watched you sail for a few years now and this one was outstanding at conveying the reality of ocean sailing in the Atlantic. Safe trip home!
Florence and the crew wildin'...you guys are just so level headed down to earth people it's pleasure to watch. Looking forward for next episodes. Proves once again how important windvane is
As a light sleeper, sleep deprived in my day to day life, I can only express my massive respects to your venture. Two people in sync, working together on a big project.
Absolutely Awesome segment in fact exhausting to watch both of you report the sea conditions. My hat off to truly authentic passage makers. TY. BRAVO ZULU (USN WELL DONE)
I don't think I have ever commented on your amazing adventures but wish you both a safe journey and brilliant footage of everything you do, love your shots of the sea state which not many others get to show very well, wishing you a safe journey for the rest of your trip, god bless you both.
I’ve watched several sailing channels. This is my favorite episode. Seems like a struggle The boat shows the constant side to side movement. You have the best pics indicating wave size. Looks scary -Good job!
An exceptional video, in which you captured the whole experience with such honesty. Most would have stopped filming, but you not only kept the camera rolling, but shot some brilliant images. What a team, what an achievement! Looking forward to sailing the last leg with you next weekend!
Great video, brilliant footage of seastate. Impressive that you have the energy to record under those conditions. Moreover. I am a professional sailor, and would not have dared to take that trip. /Peter Denmark
Sitting in my comfortable chair at home and watching Florence sliding into those foaming troughs and the crazy non-stop tilting horizon very nearly made me seasick!Cinema verite at it's finest.
Amy, I'm happy to hear you didnt get any broken bones after being thrown out of bed after the huge wave! Matt and Amy, you are by far, my favourite sailing channel. 😊
Phenomenal ability to show the power and size of the sea. I’ve not seen any other TH-camr demonstrate this as well as you have in the early shots of this episode.
Just a winter refit and a hello to the Family that we haven't seen for years and then we'll be off again. Taking Florence to the Arctic for a new challenge and a change of scenery!
Sjoe Amy so glad you're okay after being thrown clean out your bunk and breaking the centre table😬 You're both made of strong stuff. Vasbyt as we say here in SA!
My son and I watch watch several of the sailing channels including Delos, La Vagabond and others. In every other channel that we watch we have heard the phrase, " We just can't capture the size of these waves on the camera". Well you two put them to shame, because you sure did, time after time! It was like we were watching a movie, a scary one at that. I sailed off the coast of Southern California and Northern Mexico for years and I have never come close to seeing the relentless yet awesome seas that you just traveled. What an incredible testament to your physical and mental strength and seamanship! Bravo! Oh, and Florence is a beast, a beautiful one yet still a beast. Thank you for allowing us to taking us along on such an awesome experience in the safety of our home. Cheers to you both!
Thanks for sharing this part of your challenge with us all. Your courage and doggid determination are an example for us all. Yes we can comes to mind. Brilliant guys.
Incredible sailing! And Florence just surfs those waves is a thing of beauty. Great camera work capturing those waves. Watching you both deal with the challenges at hand in such a calm and cool way is so inspiring. It can be done and this now you do it. Amazing.
I was starting to get a little tired of the enormous amount of sailing channels on TH-cam, all very much of a likeness. But then I came upon yours. Thank you for making it so real and authentic. And, by the way, hats off to you both for how you dealt with that very rough, scary and tiring crossing.
The true intensity and actually being there must be breath taking unable to fathom the true feeling through watching it..amazing quality upload thank you
And that's some hard core sailing! My gratitude know no bounds for these episodes! You have a unique ability to capture the sea in all its states and the power of it. What an incredible share!
I've watched several sailing channels and actually clicked on yours by accident. I have to say, I'm glad I did. Through some very trying times, there was zero manufactured drama. You knew what you were getting into and faced it bravely and realistically. You commented on the faith you had in your vessel and each other. You mentioned how you knew what you were getting into when you departed. No fake tears and fond remembrances of unfinished business. Interesting. informative, courageous, and real. I'm a fan. I really enjoyed it and will be following. Thanks.
You both appear almost serene but we can see the sea state around you! Amazing footage & composure with your around the world experience! Brilliant video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
By the way…no other sailing TH-cam channel comes anywhere close to you in documenting the enormity and tireless motion of the oceans….unbelievable! Thx, again, Andrew
Yeh; why use a sailboat over a motor yacht to cross oceans??
@@Anton-tf9iw, 😂there is a shortage of fuel stops way out at sea, my friend.
Stunning images! I love Amy's comparison to waves and flames....they both roar! The pictures bring back thousands of memories, some where I had to look up to see the tops of the waves.

The filming is not only just stunning, it is absolutely unbelievable that you managed to film at all. A big ‘WOW’ is all I can say….
The Oyster brand name reputation is hard won over time and Florence is no exception.
You guys do a great job capturing the sea state. Much better than other sailing channels.
One of the true sailing channels, like Sam Holmes, my two favorite channels doing it on boats one can afford!
They are amazing at capturing the sea state and the size of the waves.
they crack on! I also like Wind Hippie. @@westpacificmarketanalytics2384

@@SailingYachtFlorence Awesome news!
Keep Adventure please
Tru watching Eric Andarras videos , like this it's real life . no bullshit just sailing
You all have by far the best videography of all the sailing channels.
Thank you.
The quality of that episode was exceptional. You captured the drama, the near exhaustion and the elation
Without exaggeration. Excellent!
Brave people !!!!! Just who have been there knows really what you have been through. Neptune be with you
Brave kids you're words express perfectly as you say Neptune be with you Marty Australia
Another excellent presentation. You have to admit it, you both are, in reality, true British sea-dogs. Your sea going experience shines through! Florence's sailing qualities have been well demonstrated! Cheers and beers.

Yaahhh. Magic.

One of the only videos I’ve seen that gives a sense of scale to the sea state…
The still picture of the translucent blue 0:44 wave with the dark cloud behind it is spectacular!!! I think it is the most beautiful picture of a 0:44 wave I have ever seen. You should win a award for it!!!

You are channeling Joshua Slocum. “ I saw weather coming and I Took in some reefs”
What an episode! The hero's of all you tube sailing channels.
This is the best footage anyone has captured on YT sailing channels of the height of the waves and rough seas.
THIS is what true TEAMWORK looks like! Mad respect for Matt and Amy and the RESPECT they show for each other. Absolute legends! Florence is the star and we all love her.
Brilliant sailing as usual. 🌈 💙 🌊
PS. Perfect music choices and at just the right dose.
Just love the way you go about the business of blue water sailing, including dealing with adversity with a minimum of fuss. Well done!

Not long ago, this would've won a BAFTA. Just incredible stuff. It has it all. Very, very good job. You should be very proud indeed.
You give a new meaning to the word intrepid! " Don't think that we not enjoying it...haha..."

Gorgeous job of filming the sea state and photographing the waves. It is so hard to do it justice and I think the slow frame rate made it perfect.

Incredible sailing! And Florence just surfs those waves is a thing of beauty. Great camera work capturing those waves. Watching you both deal with the challenges at hand in such a calm and cool way is so inspiring. It can be done and this now you do it. Amazing.
The trust you have in Florence and in each other must be immeasurable.
I was starting to get a little tired of the enormous amount of sailing channels on TH-cam, all very much of a likeness. But then I came upon yours. Thank you for making it so real and authentic. And, by the way, hats off to you both for how you dealt with that very rough, scary and tiring crossing.
That looks peacefully chaotic. It’s amazing how much energy the waves have.
The true intensity and actually being there must be breath taking unable to fathom the true feeling through watching it..amazing quality upload thank you
And that's some hard core sailing! My gratitude know no bounds for these episodes! You have a unique ability to capture the sea in all its states and the power of it. What an incredible share!
I've watched several sailing channels and actually clicked on yours by accident. I have to say, I'm glad I did. Through some very trying times, there was zero manufactured drama. You knew what you were getting into and faced it bravely and realistically. You commented on the faith you had in your vessel and each other. You mentioned how you knew what you were getting into when you departed. No fake tears and fond remembrances of unfinished business. Interesting. informative, courageous, and real. I'm a fan. I really enjoyed it and will be following. Thanks.
You both appear almost serene but we can see the sea state around you! Amazing footage & composure with your around the world experience! Brilliant video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I am so grateful you have arrived safely home, through the trials of rough seas.
