On the eve of my 1st trans-Atlantic crossing, An old friend long gone now, gave me the most prophetic warning about ocean sailing, a sport and mental sickness I cherished in my youth: "The sea is a b*tch, and she's out to get you." There are no truer words for a young sailor too full of confidence. For a sailor, this is a great channel you have. I've listened to nearly every video. Cheers from St John US Virgin Islands 🇻🇮
@@N-64pro yes, I reckon I have a few tales from the sea, all in memory now as every single sailing journal I ever kept was destroyed in Hurricane Irma in 2017. Now, I live 350 meters above the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean on the side of my islands highest rainforest mountain on my organic banana farm. I have sunrises every morning for the rest of my life straight out of SIr Francis Drake Passage and the entire British Virgin Islands chain. 😎 I have a few videos on my channel.

Excellent stories, I'm amazed that there hasn't been more views, daunting conditions,800ft cliffs,60 ft waves,cold, no food, and in a sailboat,shows how good Cook was that he mapped some of the area.
Man i miss all the great stories. I really hope to here some more. I still check every time i go on line. I hope All is well and you guys are just doing some research
Just a thought.. If the Totaly Inapt Captain was an alcoholic suddanly in withdrawl, that would explain quite a lot of his dispondent behavior. ( alcoholism amongst sailors was not uncommon after all..)
Capt. Dalgarno wanted Jessie Flett of Melbourne marry and take the voyage with him (she is supposed to have come to Australia with him years before) She fortunately declined the invitation and married Edward Pethebridge in August 1864.
Interesting account! I presume the "village" was on an ISLAND separate from the main island I have the book on the big attempt to establish a whaling industry (it was a total bust & all dismantled & wrapped up . The maoris over 20 to 60 were the tribe which overran the chathams "MORIORIES" ,slaughtering & eating many/ most . the group on Auckland included their slaves The maori were at times employed by the settlement & were desperate to leave with them when the settlement collapsed . I am sure you know of this whaling company failure . Was it related to the "village "you mention? It pre dates the Enderby date 1848=51? You have it right the place is aweful! one group recorded a 3 month gale!
Apparently you can eat boiled rotten meat once but doing it a second time the meat then hosts a deadly bacteria . . eating boiled rotten meat (once ?) was a part of the Rhodesian Selous Scouts training
Quite a history about the Maori - put the Inca's or the Aztecs to shame in degeneration. Outcast from the Cook Islands during the 13th century as weaker primitive Neolithic people by later waves of Polynesians (Maori were from the original wave of primitive Polynesians pushed right out across the Eastern Pacific by successive stronger more advanced groups arriving from the west). They were outcast on rafts and some floated to the North East Coast of NZ driven by the South Equatorial Current and were stranded for 500 years. The weaker were pushed down to the South Island or Chathams etc. So the South Island Maori (had their own language) were the weakest of the weak. They were captured and eaten as 'Slave flesh' by the northern Maori doing raids. (Well they all ate each other - 80% of Maori pre European were dark skinned easily fattened slaves farmed and eaten by a lighter skinned 'Ariki' thin wiry elite royal caste). So it was with some righteousness as well as British cunning that they armed the southern Maori who then with muskets launched a genocidal war on the north.. That plus measles & flu halved the Maori population and removed most of the elite. The British then liberated the slaves and outlawed cannibalism. The northern Maori fought with the British against the south bad west Maori 'rebels'. The Maori sued for peace and a treaty was signed that removed all sovereignty and made them subjects to the English crown where the English would protect them from each other. Land could only be sold to or via the Crown. Maori could live on their reservations with native custom but none did. The treaty of Waitangi is strikingly clear in that the Maori cede sovereignty completely and become citizens of Great Britain - all 3 clauses lock that in. Nothing in today's 'Maori' culture is authentic. The music - all European (Maoris did not have tonal music, the songs are missionary tunes or introduced - Poi dance is from Islands and Stick dance from old Malaya. The carvings and art - all European - Arabesques that was the fashion at the time. Original Maori had limited dash carving and no painting of objects. No written language - all the syntax & grammar plus vowel inflection is European. No technology - some lagoon canoes and wood or stone Neolithic tools. No food sources - like pigs or crops - they left that all behind, all they had was a weak inbred fox (now extinct), some rats and a weak dismal pacific yam. They ate out all the bird-life including 10 species of Moa and 46 other bird species, didn't know how to farm the sea as were island people and so they turned to societal cannibalism. Today - no full blood or half blood left. No genuine tradition and almost all are offspring of Maori slave females sold to white settlers for muskets or food. -So more fake than the 'Sioux' or 'Cherokee' or 'Crow' who had at least retained some genuineness about who they were and their history. -Everything you 'saw or experienced' is fake. A totally convected disneyfied tokenistic set of inventions fueled by a grievance culture of mixed-race imposters fetishing a false past bad history because it pays benefits.

Spot on Mate! It makes me sick what is going on today. You are far from alone. Most everyone I know are privately talking about it at great length! Our current government is pushing back but as far as I am concerned we should abolish the treaty all together. We are a mixed bunch of people called Kiwis and that's it. The Maoris now want to make a claim on any hydrogen production FFS! I'm done with the greedy bastards! They are turning us into slaves.

What an awesome place you live in. And a few yarns from your life at sea too I bet

Thanks again friends.
Love these

Thanks mate. Glad you enjoy them
It would be crazy if there was a Richard Parker on board, who was potentially eaten.
or Jacinda Ardern.
Man i miss all the great stories. I really hope to here some more. I still check every time i go on line. I hope All is well and you guys are just doing some research
New one being uploaded now buddy
Great story, I dunno why, I started feeling hungry.!
Just a thought.. If the Totaly Inapt Captain was an alcoholic suddanly in withdrawl, that would explain quite a lot of his dispondent behavior.
( alcoholism amongst sailors was not uncommon after all..)
Very good point and I would tend to agree with you
Thanks for the content
Up until about 45 years ago ships still primarily navigated by the sun and stars.
I believe that on that island a game was invented to pass the time called Beat-the-Eskimo, involving coming up with euphemisms for snow.
Wow! Another amazing story.
Thank you John. Appreciate it
What are horrible place to be Shipwrecked wow that's crazy

Do the men not get extremely sick from eating rotted meat? Yikes.
Yes the poor souls. I'm fussy as it is so hard to imagine what these people went through just to survive.
