Niue, one of the most unique places we have ever stumbled across. You can drive around the whole island in just over an hour and the ocean that guards it, is absolutely filled with Humpback Whales! We hangout with Pinky, a nice local lady and get a real taste for island life.
A big congrats and thanks to our patrons Malcom and Elad, we hope you can make it onboard for an epic sailing adventure very soon! If you to would like the chance to come aboard, lots of other goodies, and to help support our production, please become a patron 🙂

riley your lung capacity for spear fishing seems great. how long are you under and at about what depths do you fish, please
share…blessings as you journey..michael
We also called in to Niue on our voyage across the Pacific. What we found most remarkable were the amount of sea snakes. One even coiled itself around my wife Clare’s leg, which freaked her out big time. It is amazing that there were none in any of your underwater shots and that you didn’t mention them at all. Great to see the whales. I have been following your progress since the Caribbean and reliving our trip. Awesome videos, thanks.
chinese and japanese fishers now on target
Hi all. And thankyou. I can’t get enough of your videos. Truely well done. The scenery above and below water is amazing…the water is so clear! Thanks for the history too…I
had some good friends from Niue in my teenage years…back
In the ’60s! They ended up in The Gold Coast.
Take care. TTFN
Ah come on , and say my name PLEASE! I will bring the Rum and carry the beer kegs, all we can store on board, I ll fight the pirates, and blow in the sail on light winds. I love the show, and am inspired to do the same everytime I watch you guys. Keep them coming.
I enjoyed your video and like what you are doing for your patrons. I haven’t noticed any other sailing vloggers inviting their patrons on board. Kudos for that.
Riley and Elay- You cannot imagine how wonderful it is to be a part of your adventure, even from very far away. You truly know how to make us feel a part of your cruise and your lives. Only two very special people like yourselves could pull this off. Even though there must be times when you just don’t feel like making a video, you do it anyway and you do it with style. A million thank you’s. Please continue to be safe.
Hanging out to see the solo passage videos.
Adverts really ?!! And you need to sort out your shutter speed / frame rate on what looks like a 5d you are shooting on, you are getting flicker on panning shots. Great vids as usual though guys. Enjoy the next leg. Look forward to seeing the next one.
Like Jon,
I also wonder what happened to the snakes – there were plenty there when I was! Also did you not think the water was incredibly clear? – which apparently is due to the fact that there are no rivers and so no run off.
Awesome breath holding Riles!! How deep are you going mate? As always you guys rock!! Do you have a name for the Catamaran? Be safe and Sail On !!
