cruising sometimes you can get stuck for
weeks making repairs to your yacht this
week finally we're departing port
Moselle and we're off exploring a very
cool tropical island
let's circle
[Music]
okay so we got the first day back which
is awesome
and what we're doing is just adjusting
the bearings that are on the four-state
line itself and then we're going to put
it back in the foil and wake it up the
mast hooray
okay so you can see the bearings are
just a little bit of Teflon with a
special feeding on it the locks on with
a cable and and that pretty much just
holds the bolts of war into the center
of the foil and creates a little bit
less friction when you pull on it in
dance just finishing up the old sleeve
and when you do this remember that you
should mark which way up it should go so
you don't get grease everywhere when you
try and put it back together and line up
the old rivet holes we've been without a
filler for five weeks and we were so
happy that today we could now put the
new four stay back on to complete our
further up here
[Music]
it's just having to make a few slight
modifications to the fittings that we
got back from the riggers and it's
because it's all in European numbers so
the size of all European sizes and yeah
they don't fit the LC sizes so we're
sort of having to read you go rig that's
okay you're gonna get sort of a with the
swage now the right size we could feed
the four stay up into the foil okay so
that's it we are ready to put the
further on almost ready to go so much
sit
so Darren is just up the mast and he's
just attaching this settle and then
he'll hook the further up at the top
[Music]
ready to say oh baby yeah it was a
productive day and we were finally ready
to get out exploring the reefs outside
Nemea let's get out of here yeah happy
camping today got a pie for you anyway
it's so pretty good
we're out yeah baby excellent
oh the morning
Kolka morning this morning and we're
just coming out of May so Ruth sliding
on out this was our main sell out so my
favorite ways to come out of an
anchorage no motor just under sale such
a peaceful way to leave anyway we're
heading off to a place called a lot hua
we've been told that it's got some great
snorkeling some beautiful reefs life so
we're going to go and heaven explore and
we're expecting about 20 knots 15 to 20
knots of breeze so it should be a nice
hike over there and then hopefully
tomorrow the wind is gonna drop out and
it's just gonna be pre bay right yeah
and it sucks up the hipster that see if
we can crank her up
[Music]
from the rivets to the see little trip
delay let it die baby get spit out on
the summer
Joey debris shall be there
they decide
I won't be fine
what are you doing getting a new camera
with I swap the camera I was up there on
the bed I was taking that footage and I
just got completely covered from all the
way down my side if there's men survive
and the whole cameras got completely
swamped so we hope the camera lips it
was really good footage
the shine
so go
we're just coming into an anchorage and
it's looking pretty beautiful i have two
side
[Music]
anyway
school
[Music]
now that we were out in Clearwater it
was time to clean the hull of barnacles
and growth that slowed us down and block
up through hulls
so with dazzle busy I took a break from
editing to suss out possible dive spots
[Music]
[Music]
excellent well I know I am the into my
last two coconuts we're gonna have to go
on another hunt that's for sure
anyway oh really worth getting these
guys I love them
I'll make compact look we make a curry
this is a yummy bud yeah I'm pretty good
coconut this stuff like Mother's Milk
mm-hmm it's what's living under your
boat people
hmm
so moon how's a day like we're out here
in New Caledonia on this beautiful
island it's just right behind us
we've got no internet no cell phone no
contact with anyone else got my coconut
trees in order we're almost out of
coconut we're gonna have to go coconut
Andy what we did have was a beautiful
long white Beach to explore on a tiny
tropical island sandal is you guys want
to know what send all the stuff there so
pretty look at this design it's a
starfish and they're a sign of good luck
baby
how pretty
[Music]
that's pretty groovy someone's used lots
of branches and twigs and bits of
seaweed from the environment and build a
little nest and have their little
bubbles on that's really cool anyway
we'll leave the be this is like sand
elevator I found lots of sand dollars
as you can see where there's been some
little seed snakes crawling up on the
sand
but right people C Mon it's really
pretty here
[Music]
I'm saying testing
the first really white we've been
on for quite a while six months so good
yeah they're everywhere ready look no
every
little oil and a day it's got a
beautiful little bit like and the
sand is like silica soft magic you know
yeah how lucky we we're so glad we made
the trip out here that's breathing you
guys gonna experience this to just get
on a bike and come on out
[Music]
further along Darren had spotted
something pretty cool it was a banded
sea Krait New Caledonian sea snakes are
relatives of Cobras members and
Australia's tiger and type hands
typically quite shy their venom does
pack a punch being stronger than that of
a rattlesnake although with tiny mouths
were to be pretty hard for them to bite
something as large as us so their prey
typically consists of small fish crabs
and squid it was too early for mating
season so we figured this guy had just
eaten and was seeking a place to rest
and digest
[Music]
I was intrigued to spot this Clarkson
enemy fish guarding his home amongst the
coral the enemies themselves a vibrant
in color and make a symbiotic home for
the Pakula found fish who hides Indian
enemy and happily cleans its tendrils in
return for its home well good morning
how beautiful is this place it's so
peaceful here the water is absolutely
tranquil it's beautiful we've really be
able to sort of let our guard down and
just really hook into the environment
and enjoy the environment here
absolutely gorgeous I feel so lucky to
be able to come out to these places
everywhere you visit just makes you feel
more and more special more and more
connected with nature and and so deeply
connected with yourself it's kind of
like your your you're spiritually
connecting in a higher realm or a
different source it's so special
this is what we love about cruising but
you can come to these places and they
take you to a completely different
sphere it's just magic you can really
just just washes everything away all
this stress is everything just becomes
so insignificant too - yeah out here
you're so deeply connected with nature
with the color like the turquoise water
that I'm looking at it's just so
relaxing for the mind it's so soothing
for the body and the white sandy beaches
and walking on the island and listening
to the birds and being underwater and
seeing the fish in their environment
just floating it's just such a beautiful
feeling floating on turquoise waters I
just really hope that you get to
experience this at least a hundred times
in your life
it's so good for the song back on the
island and we found an old bonfire so we
fiddled around stoking it up should
other cruises happen to come along look
I found this pumice stone on the beach
it's um it's really light it's almost
like volcanic rock and anyway it's uh
it's great for the feet so I'm just
gonna have a bit of a day spa oh yeah
walking on the sand is really good for
your feet but sometimes you just need to
clean them up a little bit we've been
wearing shoes a bit lately which is
quite unusual for us so yeah it's good
to get them cleaned up get your feet
cleaned up I think we might have spotted
a little osprey nest so we're gonna go
and have a wee Bo Peep it's so beautiful
out here this could be your life too you
know
you could be out here exploring these
wonderful islands to
it's so beautiful babe look that blue no
that's pretty intense ISM yeah Wow
