Another Spokane, Washington area sub who's followed Florence from the beginning. Matt and Amy are my favorite TH-cam sailors. Always authentic, adventurous and awesome sailing skills. Deb from Elk, WA 😊
Looks like you had a great time with the Patrons who were able to be there. I so wish that had been us! Next time! thank you for all your enthusiasm and informative documentaries. That's why we support you. Fair winds and following seas. Geoff and Lynda
Great to see some of the spots in the BVI’s that I did not see when I was there oh so many years ago. I lives at anchor in Sopers Hole over the winter. Lots of memories.
I've just come from the gym and that very conveniently brings up a point that is long overdue for mentioning - all those years of constant nautical and aquatic activity have really turned Amy into a fitter than fit specimen!! Of-course, I'm sure the same can be said for Matt, but that's for your female followers to remark upon. The big challenge will be to keep it up after arriving back in Britain. I would imagine you'll want a winter-season off to relax, before heading to the icebergs. You guys have most likely forgotten what winter is like, and I know the feeling (having followed the emigrating passsge of the birds at exactly the same two times of every year). It will be a "shock to the system" - your arrival back, just before the onset of winter. Maybe your passage back will harden you up, in preparation. Meantime, we wait to see what you get up to, in the Bahamas.!
An aside... When I began following Florence a few years ago, I asked my son if he could guess the name of your tender. Having been to a concert in Vancouver BC... he knew it was "The Machine" right away!
We had a blast sailing with you guys! You both are just as kind, humble and optimistic in person as you appear in your videos. Hopefully we will meet again in our travels.
A shout out to your Patrons. They know a good thing when they see it. And for myself and all the viewers a big thank you for keeping Florence afloat and online to share the adventures of Matt and Amy. Sail Away . . . . .
BVI with those you know and have followed you for so long. You look so happy. IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT. From Tumwater, WA. ST. USA God Bless!
I think cruise ships spoil The Baths far more than sailboats. To avoid those ships we go to The Baths before it opens, and pay on the way out. Each year we stay at Spring Bay, which is the next bay over from The Baths.
Hats off, in so many ways! I would imagine the week was the most extraordinary of any week during your long voyage not least because you had a holiday, well apart from hosting and guiding your guests !! Will you have a holiday when you get back to the UK, I would love to know where you might go ??? Without a camera !!!
I think that everyone should sail the BVIs at least once. That said, I will likely not do it again. I found it to be crowded, exceedingly expensive, and the government very unwelcoming. The checking in process was expensive and frustrating- they won’t check you in unless you use their cumbersome app, and the fees seem arbitrary. The US and Spanish VIs are just as nice, the water and sailing is pretty much the same. Next time we’ll pass.
You two have remained true to your roots. Sailing!! Personally I would have loved more scuba diving with that as I believe the two go hand-in-hand... but that's my preference. Keep on, as I know you have. I await more sailing... and scuba diving!
I hardly post on the internet but… I wish I was a Patron but it’s all we can do to keep the hobby ranch going here in Wyoming. Thank you for the excellent videos!!!
Great video as always! Happy that you both have made the journey and that you had a desire to share it with everyone! Also, happy that you have had the support of great people to help make it possible! Thanks to you all!!
How great to have such a fine meet-up with your followers. Cane Garden Bay, one of the most beautiful stopovers in the BVI's. From the mid-1970s until 1993 I used to Bareboat the BVI's and Cane Garden Bay, the Rum factory, and the lobster at the hut in the bay along with Rum and coconut milk in a coconut. Enjoy.
Love to see the fan-creator interaction! It certainly looked like a wonderful time, and I’m glad it went well. I can’t wait to see the next parts of Florence’s journey through the Caribbean and Atlantic. Fair winds, -J
Just finished our sailing trip to BVI. It was expensive but worth every penny. We found a little harbor on Jost Van Dike to be a great place to anchor friendly people on shore at Sidney's for food, ice or trash pickup.
I’ve been following y’all for months. I’ve sailed the BVI it’s one of my favorite places to charter. The Exuma Island chain will be different and beautiful no less. If you’re planning to sail over to Key West Florida I’ll be happy to be your tour guide. Cheers!
Another great video. Thank you for that. We spent time on moorings where we were bumped almost every change of tide. It becomes quite normal and we sustained no damage. It does wake you up and you need fenders out.
I love this series of your videos. That looked so fun getting to meet, In LIVE PERSON, and giving you a chance to thank those folks that believe in you two. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Big HUGS from Montana
Great film…I wish you had the opportunity to visit Saba Rock before it was gentrified. It was a classic beach bar, unspoiled and great fun…maybe too much fun as I broke my toe navigating from ladies room after a few too many! When it aches in rainy weather it brings back a great memory!
As always, first class content and cineamatic excellence. One question, where do you find such great music as it really 😅 adds to the viewing experience ?
At first I could not understand the "first class content" of this episode. Now I do after reading posts of the fans of Matt and Amy. You have showed me what good the British add to small nations living over hundreds of small island across the oceans. Matt and Amy continue to develop great traditions of the SAILORS from the British Isles. I would like to continue speaking about this issue. Save sailing! Keep developing love between you Two. God please bless Matt and Amy. Your friend, Michał
Such beautiful scenery and skilful video footage, great commentary. Your patrons will always cherish their time with you. Thank you for your videos. Watching from Queensland, Australia.
My husband had a kidney transplant 4 yrs ago then covid-Isolated with have been difficult without watching Sailing Florence 🙋♀️👍🏼💕☕️Love your adventures ❤
What a wonderful emotional experience to connect with some of your Patreons. Good to give something back to them and a little strange as you know so little about them. Loved this video. ⛵️
I wish Cuba would really open up and Venezuela would return to its former Gloria’s a haven for cruisers. I spent some time in the windward and leeward islands in the late 70’s and 80’s. I went back about 15 years ago and was disappointed and sadden on the amount of commercialism that had taken over.
Love you two❤ thanks for another great film. Do you have footage of your monohull v catamaran conversation on Brown Eyed Girl. Love to hear your thoughts on this. Safe travels. X🙏
I started wondering about this for sometime, but it’s really starting to get more relevant, what are you going to do after you get back to England? Will you continue your TH-cam channel and sail around the North Sea? Or maybe you plan to go down towards the Mediterranean. It’s just been so long since I’ve been watching your videos and I’m just wondering is this going to be like a favorite TV show ending or do you actually have other plans?
@@artsmith103 yep, you’re right they did do an In-depth episode two months ago. But I don’t recall ever seeing it before. I swear I don’t think TH-cam always sends me all the videos even when I have the bell rung and all notifications marked, not just on this channel, but other channels as well.
@@stephenburnage7687 Yeah, I went back and watched that episode. I don’t think TH-cam send it to me to start with. I’ve noticed that with several of the channels I have marked with the bell rung and all notifications, but not gotten all the notifications.
Mixed feelings about this one. Would love to talk and sail,with you and to learn from people with so many more ocean miles than me, but this was seemed a little too ‘Thomas Cook’ and cramping you. Not sure I could have enjoyed crowding you in this way … it would spoil the very thing that would otherwise be so special. And oh. I approve of your new stern flag 😉 Very smart
What a awesome thing you two have done with your meet up!! Very cool that I've seen all those places you showed in this episode from sailing GBU! I wonder if you guys have ever met them?? Much love from the coast of Maine 🤙❤
Hello - thank you for your channel, and congrats on your circumnavigation and patron meetup! Around the 5 min mark, we can see a kayak used by one of your guests as a tender. Any device on how this compares to an inflatable rib? (We loved your episode on the 2 part hard dingy Amy’s dad made for you :)
The TH-cam channel DE los has said they're about to make a second lap around the world. They're they wanna go round and round and round and round and round the world a 1000 times you've been challenged how many times you're gonna. Go around the world.
I feel bad since the best serial lasting over 6 years is coming to the end. Will you continue realising new episodes from your home at the Island? Thank you a lot for uploading regularly new episodes.
Mate not big on sailing anymore.motocycle .haven't checked in on sailing tubes .I see that getting the puppies out seems to be only way some shit channels get views .so I commend you guys for quality content.even though I'm sure there is Xtra coin to be made by good looking youngys like yourselves 🎉
I really enjoyed this video as well as every other videos the two of you have produced, I sailed a 45 Irwin from NJ to the BVI’s in 1994 and back. It was an adventure. As for the price per night for the moorings has gone out of site! I had to go look at my log book to see what I paid and it was $7.00 USD. 😁🛫

Thank you to all of the patrons that support this channel. I hope you enjoyed your trip. Thank you for the entertainment.
I cannot recommend these 2 people and their channel enough. No fuss only hardcore sailing and always happy and smiling (living the dream)

Congratulations! It was nice to finally see someone who knows how to open a bottle of Champagne! And a decent bottle too…..
The colour of that water looks amazing!!

Thank you to the patrons for keeping you afloat. Looking forward to your next sailing.
Great footage as always, having followed most episodes. Definitely an inspiration, enough so, learning to sail and purchase a boat soon. Thank you
Great to watch as always.
Congrats! and many thanks for all these wonderful videos!
A Floatilla! Has it come to that? You guys are amazing sailors with or without a floatilla, perhaps seeing you in Santa Maria, Azores.
I'm South African but I love the Seychelles flag. Such a happy flag! Love from Cape Town🐳

Hello from South Carolina! Wonderful sailing with your patrons !! What a nice gift!!
As always another great video!!❤️
Fair winds ⛵️
congratulations on a job well done, i enjoy seeing the trip up close!
Another remarkable episode. We thank you both for the joy your channel brings to us throughout the season.
20:20 Is it just me or does Matt seem a little hungover after the rum tasting :)
Really cool vid. Makes us wishing for the future as we sell our property in the woods, buy a boat and enjoy the water.
Love to see the fan-creator interaction!
It certainly looked like a wonderful time, and I’m glad it went well. I can’t wait to see the next parts of Florence’s journey through the Caribbean and Atlantic.
Fair winds,

Beauuuuuutifully done ! Worth waiting for the new Episode😊
Wonderful and congratulations on the circumnavigation. Fun to have the patrons there. Fair winds back accross the pond.
Very well done both of you! Live in Gosport and would love to see you returning home.
Great that you could share and celebrate with your Patreons.
Great meeting you today Matt and Amy! God be with you as you make your way home.
Thatd be awesome ty Flo
The water is so beautiful and relaxing.
Like always, just perfekt; the text, images. Chears from Brazil
Beautiful colors on the underwater. Dreamy.
A great sailing channel. Thank you! Very many congratulations from Germany!
It just keeps getting better and better, which will also encourage more Patreons. Fabulous underwater photography.
Just finished our sailing trip to BVI. It was expensive but worth every penny. We found a little harbor on Jost Van Dike to be a great place to anchor friendly people on shore at Sidney's for food, ice or trash pickup.

Watching you Party with your Patrons ❤🎉
I’ve been to the baths and it was extremely hot as well, the baths are crowded for a reason the beauty
Consistently "GOOD STUFF" !!!
Glorious, well done guys!! 🤗🤗

I believe they said that they plan to do some high latitude sailing.
@@stephenburnage7687 Yeah, I went back and watched that episode. I don’t think TH-cam send it to me to start with. I’ve noticed that with several of the channels I have marked with the bell rung and all notifications, but not gotten all the notifications.

Curious, if you have British passports, how do you have only 1 month limited stay in the BVI?
Splendid..!
❤ what a great celebration! You 2 deserve this celebration!

Wow Sailor, 🥳👍👍
OK, so how did the conversation about the advantages and disadvantages of Catamarans vs monohulls go?? :-)
Very lucky. I envy you 😊👍

What a video
😃👍👍👍❤
Great video yall! When you went to Fallen Jerusalem (instead of the Baths), did you dinghy ashore, or have to swim?! Thanks!
Ya….HOOOO!
BVI definately a destination to stay away! For me. Way too expensive and way too crowded.
I'm intrigued. You have enough chain to anchor in 50 metres. How long is your primary chain?
15m depth (not 50), 60m chain + 20m rope. We have anchored in 28m in Indonesia!
It's not cheating if you have bigger sails!
The TH-cam channel DE los has said they're about to make a second lap around the world. They're they wanna go round and round and round and round and round the world a 1000 times you've been challenged how many times you're gonna. Go around the world.

Beautiful as always! May I ask, how many patreon subscribers do you have, averaging what price per month please ?
I would avoid the place like the plague … looks an overcrowded rip off …
Need to have money to burn there.
But it's the kind of place you buy a nice drink and ask folks at the bar, what's your boating interest? The stories will go all night....
No need of TH-cam Algorithm? You do not need view and get paid from TH-cam?
Caribbean beer bars. No interest.
Its interesting how you put Amy in all the thumbnails and not yourself Matt. Is that to generate views from thirsty men?
Not a black face in sight
Very few west indians in the Virgin Islands, have gotten into sailing...........I'm from there and know....
I really enjoyed this video as well as every other videos the two of you have produced, I sailed a 45 Irwin from NJ to the BVI’s in 1994 and back. It was an adventure. As for the price per night for the moorings has gone out of site! I had to go look at my log book to see what I paid and it was $7.00 USD. 😁🛫
I think it was $15 in the '90s but I might be confusing that with Hawaii.
@@artsmith103 it was in early October tail end of the hurricane season so that might have something to do with the price.😀🛫
