- Exploring far reaching fjords & remote anchorages of the Inside Passage charting a course North to Alaska (slowly), we're a Canadian Aussie duo documenting an adventure-based alternative life off-grid on a small 'no-frills' sailboat, Uintah. No refrigeration, no auto-pilot, hauling our anchor up by hand & adventuring off the beaten path with the purpose of living a more sustainable, self-sufficient life connected to nature.

Loved this video. So sad to see such a wonderful place abandoned like she was. May 2024 be your best year yet
It’s a pretty tragic tale! We have some big plans for 2024 so stay tuned :) wishing you a fabulous year as well!!
You tube algorithm at work. Blue Moon sailing who is from your area also on a Cat. 30 posted , and your channel came up as a suggested. Loved it and a new sub. Have fun
Love checking out abandoned or nearly in this case industrial sites. It is wonderful to see how people lived and worked in the past. Thanks for sharing, see ya next time.
Thanks for checking out the video! We really enjoy checking out these places as well, the BC coast is littered with abandoned industrial sites, industry towns and debris of a bygone industrial era! We’ve got a couple on the list to check out this year! Hope you’re well!
@@AllisonandJamesSailing However people still do live there. I know I lived there when they closed the town.
Yep I used to work in Shearwater back in the day. It was called the Fishermans Inn at that time.
awh, that's really neat!
Ha. I lived in Ocean Falls for a year or two, around 1970. What a weird place it was, but absolutely unforgettable. A shame what's happened to it. O well...
Love hearing from folks who have lived there! We like to imagine it was a little quirky but amazing. It’s sad to see it in such disrepair!
Thanks for the tour. I used to go into the Falls as a teen over 55 years ago while commercial fishing. There is an Olympic games story from the swim club that is impressive
As to the Bitcoin commentary, if you would like some balanced and more current information about its benefits, I would be pleased to provide some. It's not what you think.
Happy travels and again thanks for bringing back some memories.
You’re welcome! Very cool that you were in and out of there back then! The number of Olympic swimmers OF produced is pretty amazing! After watching this one reached out to us about filming there reunion in OF!
We felt we portrayed a balanced view of the bitcoin aspect, but maybe it didn’t come across that way. We’re open to hearing more about it for sure, it’s certainly interesting!
Definitely need to add that ghost town to my list for retirement next year (2025) when I head south. Just brought my new to me sailboat from Washington to Seward last summer. Stopped in Shearwater and Bella Bella. Anxious to see your video on those. Great video!
10/10 would recommend! Especially if you’re travelling through around the end of august, make sure to hit it up for the pig roast and fishing Darby! We go to shearwater and Bella Bella in your next video, stay tuned!
Tyvm crazy place but beautiful. Ty from Squamish BC
Ocean falls is crazy beautiful! Thank you for watching!
It would have been interesting to get a tour of the bitcoin operation. I guess security would be pretty tight. Loved the video. Love you 😘
Those crab traps the crabs have no problem opening them and leaving if no food. If using that type use a fish head and they will stay till there full!
Thanks for the tip! Fish heads are gold, wish we had some at this point in time. They bay was teaming with traps full of said bounty so I’d say our crab friends had no problem abandoning ours like the Martin Inn.
I love these vids. I hope to get to sail the same route with my family.
So glad you’re enjoying them! Love to hear it. We hope you’ll get to sail here with your family soon
Awesome adventure into the past and present in this beautiful post apocalyptic town. I’m shocked all the residents moved away as it looks like paradise, except for the dam looming overhead! That would really creep me out, especially knowing that this is a subduction zone just waiting to pop!
Thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed it! Agreed, super idyllic community situated pretty precariously, perched below a dam on an edge of a serious mountain slope! Very cool boom bust boom town
Thanks for another great episode! I agree with @kempknapman9291, Ocean Falls is going on the must visit list 🙂 Also really like the "cruiser's cooking" part!
Awesome, def worth checking out on the adventure North! Really glad you enjoyed that, cheers!
Great series guys.
Cheers mate! We’re really enjoying putting it all together!
Ocean Falls is a beautiful place! Great video
It is indeed! Thanks so much Tanya!
What an amazing place to visit. Love the drone shots. How challenging is it to retrieve the drone while underway?
It’s a super neat place to explore, really glad we decided to stop in and check it out haha retrieving the drone while under sail can be really challenging (depending upon the conditions) we typically use a fishing net to catch the drone while under sail and just catch it in hand while at anchor. We will have to release all of our drone catches as bloopers at some point, they’re pretty amusing to watch!!
@@AllisonandJamesSailing Yes, please. We'd love to see the blooper reel. I'm also a UAS pilot but very intimidated by the "hand catch," especially on the boat. :-)
Just discovered your site. Accidently watched your Aus-Nz video..! Now a bit of revision required...Something Charming about your posts..Many Thanks.!
So glad you stumbled across us, hope you enjoy catching up on our other vids. Chat soon, cheers!
Another great video, cool town gave me mini Chernobyl vibes. Editing is top notch, keep up the good work :)
So glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much!
Hmmmm I do not remember all the frogs either. Maybe they moved in when they closed the town lol
Lol that's our theory as well
You guys deserve a few extra zeros on your subs. Top class. Love ya work!
Awe thanks so much!!!
Destination adventure covered the story from that town
Yes we seen that!
Awwwww I want to go back.
It's a pretty special area. Hope you get to make it back some day soon!
@@AllisonandJamesSailing Yes so do I. Lived my best teen years there.
We imagine it was an amazing place to grow up!
Lovely
Thanks for watching, cheers mate!
Great video!!
Cheers! Thank you!
Enjoy most of your presentations, but this one is very representative in its content… just thought I’d let you know my thoughts… John… Ontario, Canada…
Thanks John! Hope you’re keeping warm in Ontario this winter!! Thank you for your kind words!
What are they mining? Ha, maybe your user name and password.
Hope you enjoyed the video, cheers!
