Wow wow and wow. We navigated through two reefs using an old chart we had found on the internet. Mix that with an overcast day and we were sorta pushing it… but we made it to the inside of Beveridge Reef! Completely uninhabited, with the clearest blue water you’ll ever see (even on an overcast day) and some now well-fed reef sharks lurking in the pass. Still devo about losing that Tuna. Despite the fact we didn’t have the best weather for our stay, it was still one of the most surreal feelings I’ve ever had just being anchored there.

Hi Guys, Wonderful video. Enjoyed the toothpaste remedy. Looking forward to see Niue. Be safe.
Beautifull waters that is for sure, love to go for a swim, to bad about not filming the sharks eating the tuna would of liked to see that. What happened to the camera man though, hope he got over his sea sickness. Chillies in the nose ,well it is worse in the eye. Riley you are blessed, that is for sure and hope the blessings keep coming your way guys, cause I love watching La Vagabonde and its adventures.
Eek ! Chilies ? in the nose; not fun at all ! Beautiful water, reminds me of Turks and Caicos… First snow of the season up here in Canada and it was nice to see you in warmer air. Thanks for bringing your adventures to us all. And what’s with the propless Merc ? Thought that was going to get fixed ?
One of your best episodes yet!!!
One of the best episodes yet! And we’ve seen them all! You two are the best in the business! Happy Thanksgiving from Salt Lake City!
Hi Elayna
Look, we have always known you were ”Hot”, you didn’t have to inhale a chilli to prove it!
Two great episodes recently, You can’t beat a Palace Special Burger, I have never managed to finish one and Beveridge Reef has always fascinated me, quite a strange place, glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome!!! You two make my grandson and I happy watching these videos. Blood plus fish plus ocean equals SHARKS! Haha. Riley you are an awesome skipper. I am blown away at the crews’ navigational skills!! So I wonder- how do you navigate in the ” dead zones” when you don’t have GPS satellite coverage? If I can’t do it, I am happy to see someone living my dream!!! Be safe out there!!
You guys are blessed! What a life! And the beautiful clear water. Too bad the sharks got your fish.Better
luck next time. I feel like I’m sailing alongside in my armchair…enjoying it all! Don’t like the sound of chilli
in the nose tho. Ouch.
Keep up the great video and keep safe.
TTFN
Great episode !

thank you !

Hi Rene
It is Beveridge Reef, about 120 nm East of Niue in the South Pacific, You can find it on Google Earth
Great episode. BTW I believe it’s “Beveridge Reef”, not “Beverage Reef”…

Thanks Bob!
A great video. Loved the color of the sea at the reef. I liked the very human interludes of the chili seed and distress at losing the tuna.
Beautiful…
I never want the video to end. Add 10 more minutes please…;)

Hey Riles, what are your thought about autopilot Vs wind vane? There are too many mixed opinions about them!!
Hilarious chirp on the chili incident Riley……’yeh..but it needs to be Almond milk’. perfect.
The meals being served on this boat look delicious!
The helicopter comment in the outlook makes me more than curious :-). Oh, and coffee *really* is the worst. Just sailed from Tenerife to Mindelo, choppy first day, had too much coffee and regretted it. Sympathetic with Jules 😉
