Loved to see James has not forgotten his Aussie lingo and Allison is learning that the woods and the bush are the same thing. We loved seeing you guys enjoying the great outdoors. And yes you don't need $30M boats with helicopter to enjoy the great outdoors. See you guys next week.
You can take the woods out of the bush but you can’t take to bush out of the woods! You defiantly don’t need a $30M boat but by the same measure you also don’t need handles on your toothbrush or the inside portion of your tent…
Great channel - I have been a fan of sailing videos for quite a while now. Sadly a lot of them have become just clickbait for views and more like selfie videos LOL. I have honed my skills at choosing channels to follow. If it involves a super expensive boat I'm out! If every episode is some super expensive port I'm out. Channels like this let us regular folk live a bit vicariously!
Flashing on the laundry at Shearwater gave me tumultuous shakes of nostalgia! And the showers: 0ne lunni gets you two minutes of hot water, but remember your sandals! There were a few visiting dignitaries there on my last visit. My partner said that they must look at us in our 35 year old boat as pond scum. And another sailor reminded us that pond scum always rises to the surface. We all had a good laugh a few adult beverages and a fond farewell the following morning. Your videography, editing and story telling is really good. I'm thoroughly enjoying your experience.
Hahaha that gave us a good chuckle, Pond Scum!!🤣 Love that! We might use it! Stoked you were able to share in the smiles with this place. A stopping point bringing all of us together on the inside passage route! So glad to hear you’ve been enjoying the vids, thank you!!
Awe love to hear that, glad you found us! There’s lots of challenges around here, glad it’s relatable?! 😅Stoked to have you on the journey with us, cheers!
Shearwater is one of my favorite little towns to stop by overnight. One thing they are great at are the “Keg stands”. Boats hauled out were sitting atop of beer kegs. Looking forward to returning in a couple years.
Cheers Trev! Hope you’re living it up down in Mexico! It’s been blowing strong gales up here in the broughtons for months now! Perhaps we should have followed you south!
Absolutely loving these videos. Thank you for taking us on your adventures. Your dad Peter was bragging a few weeks ago and I'm so pleased he did. Absolutely beautiful and delightful scenery. Enjoy and safe travels.
Ahoy fellow dirtbags👋🏽Love how much we have in common! Cheers to having the smallest boat & loving it! Gunkholing in the San Juan’s sounds absolutely lovely! You guys planning on sailing North at all?!
Hi guys, I’d rather be doing what you’re doing then to be stuck on that big yacht and worried about how you going to that pay the bills and hopefully all employees are getting paid properly etc etc. You can go places where this big yacht would never even think about going but you can go where it goes. How good is that anyway, keep up the good work. Love the videos Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺👨🏻🦽
One hundred percent agree, bigger isn't better!. Going for a smaller simple boat has so many advantages. So happy to hear you're enjoying the videos 👏Thank you for joining the adventure all the way from Aus, love to hear it!
Enjoyed watching while drinking my coffee . Making Saskatoon rubarb pies to freeze .We get them at South Island Saskatoons near Cobble Hill . Considering making cinnamon buns and doughnuts to snack on the sail in March ,,,,,just hope it doesn't sink the boat . Have a great week .
@@AllisonandJamesSailing Just the pies. Need to loose some waite to get those legs over the stanchion's . will waite closer to the trip . There mostly for the rest of the crew .
Awe thank you so much for your kind words, we're so glad you're enjoying them! It feels pretty good to pass this Big little milestone, things are looking up!!🎉
Eco-tourism is meant to be minimally impactful. The Heiltsuk (who run Shearwater) greatly contribute to the conservation of the natural environment in the area. The model is definitely an improvement from extraction based industries, at least for the environment. Thanks for watching, cheers!
@@AllisonandJamesSailing I wasn't being critical of the efforts being made the Heiltsuk. This is rather ironic that a massive yacht with a heliport is there to take it all in. I recently discovered your videos and enjoy catching up on them. Thanks
Totally! We certainly don’t understand the need, by folks, for these massive super yachts! The view is the same out here haha Glad you found us and have been enjoying the videos. Thanks for writing, cheers!
Great video. That looks like a ~150 genoa, how you liking it? Got a 150 on my c34-2, she's alotta sail and doesn't have good form when furled too much. 110 is on my list for the shoulder months and thinking of giving this one a facelift and cropping a tad. Where you guys now? Merry Ho Ho
Happy holidays mate, we hope 2025 keeps yours sails full! We had a 150 and usually had to keep it rolled up a bit giving it a terrible shape. We've since got a 135 that can be rolled down to 105 while keeping it's shape, we LOVE it! We're over wintering in the Broughtons with plans to head north again in 2025. If your in the area give us a shout!
@@AllisonandJamesSailing I've got a parcel to drop off in Bella Coola, I'll tell you the story over a beer some day. I'll keep in touch and we'll try and bump into you guys this year. Cheers
So 'Dirtbag Sailors' better said is Les Mariners Pubel Blanches.' Because everything sounds better in French or Beaumonte' if you happen to be a Texan. Yaaahrrr!
The NHS is far from perfect. The biggest problem we have is that the treasured service we get with the NHS is now providing treatment for a huge range of procedures that were not around when the NHS was formed in the 1950’s. Also because of our crazy immigration laws add to this our 40 years in the European Union increased the population of the UK since 1950 by a further 9 million people all have free access to the NHS. The NHS can no longer cope with the volume of demand on it, it could not cope when it was first set up now it’s far worse. Our Prime Minister in 1997 was Tony Blair and he opened the doors to mass immigration without understanding the impact on our public services. I think the German system is one you should look at, it’s similar to yours but there is control on how much profit can be made and insurance companies are controlled by the government
Thanks!
Thank you for supporting the continued production of our videos!! We really appreciate it so much🙏🏽

It's great to see a sailing channel that actually is sailing. Good on you.
Best regards from Jarle
Really glad you’re enjoying our channel! Cheers Jarle!
I did enjoy my Sunday sailing episode.
Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed it!

So nice, I can't wait until winter is over. Just beautiful .
Thank you for sharing.
Us too! Super keen to get back out on the water!
First time watching your TH-cam video. As sailboat owner, I really appreciate the challenges that you deal with on your voyages.
Awe love to hear that, glad you found us! There’s lots of challenges around here, glad it’s relatable?! 😅Stoked to have you on the journey with us, cheers!
Living on a sailboat I know the feeling tyvm
It’s difficult to put that feeling into words!!! So glad you get to experience for yourself, cheers to that!
Fantastic, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for being here!
Thank you💙Thank you💚Thank you💙🤠
You are so very welcome!!! Thank you for watching!

Haha glad dad put you onto to us! Turns out I get most of my outdoorsiness from the old man! stoked you’re enjoying our adventure mate!
We are dirt bags in the San Juans in our Catalina 30, usually the smallest boat in an anchorage, we like it that way!

Very pretty surroundings, I'd love to sail there one day.
We very much hope that you get to one day! It's a beautiful place to see under sail!
Congratulations on 10K subs!!! Well done. You both deserve it.

The irony of Sheerwater being an Eco-tourism area with power boats & a fricken yacht being the norm.
Eco-tourism is meant to be minimally impactful. The Heiltsuk (who run Shearwater) greatly contribute to the conservation of the natural environment in the area. The model is definitely an improvement from extraction based industries, at least for the environment. Thanks for watching, cheers!

hahah yesss! We salute our fellow dirtbag community✌️

what boat you got?
Hey John, Uintah is a 1979 Catalina 30 Tall Rig :)
So 'Dirtbag Sailors' better said is Les Mariners Pubel Blanches.' Because everything sounds better in French or Beaumonte' if you happen to be a Texan. Yaaahrrr!
Le poison le poison hehehe uh uh uh!
11:50 Ewok sailor lol you do resemble one .
I’m jealous I can’t grow a full beard.
Lol that’s a compliment right?
@@AllisonandJamesSailing that’s one resourceful Ewok.
