How often do we truly slow down… and hand our lives over to the ocean? This is the first leg of an Atlantic crossing aboard a Balance 526 — from Cape Town to St Helena. But this isn’t just a passage… it’s something far more meaningful. It’s the beginning of ownership. It’s the ultimate offshore shakedown. And for many Balance owners — it’s a rite of passage. With 1,700 nautical miles behind you… and 1,700 ahead… life simplifies. Your world becomes wind, waves, watches, and the quiet space in between. Onboard: – Dean Paarman (Balance Catamarans) – Kirk & Catherine Brunssen (Owners) – Josh Solomon (Skipper) Boat: Balance 526 Väster From last-minute provisioning in Cape Town to high-speed runs offshore, settling into watch systems, and finding rhythm at sea — this is where the journey truly begins. 🌍 Read the full story: 👉 https://balancecatamarans.com/atlantic-crossing-part-1/ ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Why Sail Away 01:18 Last Minute Provisioning 04:09 Meet Väster and Crew 05:12 Leaving Cape Town 07:32 First Night Offshore 09:26 Dialing In the Sails 13:37 Day Three Speed Runs 16:09 Staying Safe at Pace 17:06 Sea Legs and Burgers 18:39 Watch System Explained 23:38 Food and Boat Routines 27:44 Crew Bonds and Quiet 29:25 Calm Day and Motoring 31:45 Fishing and What’s Next

🇮🇹 La barca lascia il cantiere ed è finalmente pronta a tornare in acqua. In questo video ti porto con me durante il varo e la navigazione di ritorno, dopo i lavori di manutenzione e refitting. Un momento che ogni armatore conosce bene: rivederla galleggiare, sentire di nuovo il mare sotto lo scafo e riprendere la rotta verso casa. Tra manovre, navigazione e qualche riflessione, torna quella sensazione che rende tutto questo speciale: la libertà di navigare. ⚓ Seguimi su Instagram: @inbarcacondario ⚓ Seguimi su Facebook: IN BARCA CON DARIO 📩 Collaborazioni: inbarcacondario@gmail.com #barcaavela #varo #varobarca #cantierenautico #refitting #manutenzionebarca #navigazioneavela #velaitalia #nautica #barcheavela #ritornoalmare #diporto #vitainbarca #OutInNano ___________________________________________________________ The boat leaves the shipyard and is finally ready to go back in the water. In this video I take you with me through the launch and the navigation back home, after maintenance and refit work. A moment every boat owner knows well: seeing her floating again, feeling the sea under the hull, and setting the course back home. Between maneuvers, sailing, and a few reflections, that feeling comes back — the one that makes it all worth it: the freedom of being at sea. ⚓ Follow me on Instagram: @inbarcacondario ⚓ Follow me on Facebook: IN BARCA CON DARIO 📩 Collaborations: inbarcacondario@gmail.com #sailboat #launch #boatlaunch #boatyard #refit #boatmaintenance #sailinglife #sailing #boatlife #yachtlife #backtosea #boating #lifeonboard #PortableEspressoMachine ___________________________________________________________ 📬Per richieste commerciali/proposte di lavoro/collaborazioni: 📩 inbarcacondario@gmail.com Se hai consigli, come sempre nei commenti puoi dirmi che cosa ne pensi!

Finalmente è successo: dopo mesi di lavoro e il varo, la nostra PRIMA USCITA!🥹⛵️🥳 È stata un’emozione incredibile uscire per la prima volta su Patatraque: dopo anni costretta a terra, la nostra barchetta è stata accolta da un mare piatto e poco vento. Sarà che Nettuno ha voluto farle ricominciare a veleggiare con calma? Noi lo abbiamo comunque apprezzato moltissimo: un meteo così calmo ci ha permesso di respirare a pieni polmoni un’aria che sognavamo da tutto l’inverno, di studiare le manovre con calma e di fermarci ad ammirare lo spettacolare paesaggio attorno a noi💙 Purtroppo, il giorno dopo, il vento si è alzato e il meteo incerto ci ha costretti a dedicarci ai lavoretti: è chiaro ormai che non finiremo mai di sistemare ed aggiustare cose su Patatraque, e non vi nascondiamo che ne siamo felici!🥰 Ne abbiamo quindi approfittato per fissare il motore, controllare le entrate d’acqua, pulire un po’ e organizzare Patatraque all’interno💪🏼 Siamo arrivati al decimo video sul nostro canale🙃 Sembra ieri che abbiamo iniziato questa avventura e siamo felici di poter riguardare i video del restauro per ricordare tutto quello che è stato fatto e come siamo arrivati fino a qui♥️ Grazie a chi ci segue e ci supporta: ogni like o commento ci sprona a fare del nostro meglio, per restituirvi ogni sfaccettatura di questa nostra avventura♥️ Buon vento a chi come noi non vede l’ora di iniziare la stagione!⛵️🐋 Vi lasciamo i link dei nostri ultimi acquisti qui sotto, tra cui la pompa manuale utilizzata nel video :D - Pompa Manuale Aspirante/premente: https://amzn.to/3zdopMN - Batteria servizi Start 60 Ah (la nostra è da 70Ah): https://amzn.to/4bOdQOD - Batteria motore Varta 52 Ah (di qualità): https://amzn.to/3RhqHk2 - Caricabatterie Bosch C30 con mantenitore di carica (gioiellino): https://amzn.to/4ecPX4X - Ventilatore a batteria: https://amzn.to/4bRlyb0 - Powerbank portatile: https://amzn.to/3Kxs9eE - Avvisatore acustico nautico: https://amzn.to/4bfU9hB Power Station Bluetti AC70 - un Must Have ;) - BLUETTI AC70: https://amzn.to/3UUDmM5 (link al sito ufficiale: https://bit.ly/3w4Bln9) Musica: Music track: Donut by Lukrembo Source: https://freetouse.com/music Copyright Free Music for Video Music track: Travel by Lukrembo Source: https://freetouse.com/music Free Vlog Music Without Copyright #vela #adventure #sail #sailing #avventura #barca #barcaavela #sailboat #sailinglife #esplora #explore #mare #sea #progetto #new #travel #viaggio #italy #esplorazione #vlog #diary #diariodibordo #restauro #restoration #mediterranean #mediterráneo

In the Galápagos, people and place are deeply connected. In this episode of The Enchanted Isles, Monty Halls meets the local guides and communities who play a vital role in protecting the islands. From naturalist guides born and raised in the Galápagos to conservation-led tourism practices, Monty explores how stewardship shapes every aspect of life here. These are individuals who see themselves not as owners, but as custodians — responsible for preserving the islands for future generations. Through their stories, a deeper understanding emerges: that protecting the Galápagos depends on those who know it best. Subscribe and join the journey.

On Saturday 10th May, Les Sables d'Olonne lit up to celebrate the heroes of the Vendée Globe 2024-2025. An exceptional evening brought together tens of thousands of people, despite the driving rain. From 6.30pm, the legendary channel was alive with the sounds of a huge nautical parade, followed by an awards ceremony, then, just before 11pm, a monumental firework display by Jacques Couturier set the world's most beautiful bay ablaze.

🌴 In this episode, we sail to the remote island of Motorina, where we’re welcomed by one of the most musical and generous communities we've encountered on our journey so far. 🌺 ✨ From hand-carved ukuleles to sharing whole-cooked chickens and fresh produce, this village experience is a glimpse into a way of life that has been largely lost in the modern world. 🚣🏽‍♂️ We trade with locals arriving by canoe, witness the incredible craftsmanship of their traditional sailing canoes, and learn about "bagi" – the island’s ancient form of traditional money, once made from banana seeds, now beautifully recreated using black coral. 🎣 I also head out into the open sea with our friend Jimmy in his dugout canoe, where he teaches me the art of traditional fishing using feathers, hooks, and a rock wrapped in a leaf — a technique passed down for generations. This is real village life, raw and unfiltered. It’s about connection, tradition, and a sustainable way of living that’s increasingly rare in the Western world. If you love off-grid adventures, remote cultures, and traditional skills, this one’s for you. 👇 Watch now and don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more adventures from the sea! 📍 Episode 19 – Sailing Louisiades, Papua New Guinea 🛶 Location: Motorina Island, Louisiade Archipelago 📽️ Highlights: Traditional Village life, Local Music, Trading, Boat Building & Making Bagi ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – 🚤 Sailing from Panasia Island to Motorina Island 01:09 – 👋 Channel Intro – Meet the Crew! 01:38 – 🏝️ A Warm Welcome into the Village 03:06 – 🌿 Life in a Traditional Village 04:12 – 🥁 Local Kids Playing Traditional Music 06:10 – 🍉 Fruits & Veggies We Received from Trading 07:19 – 🤝 What Trading for Our Food Looks Like 08:56 – 🛠️ Boat Building & More Local Trade 12:47 – 📿 How Locals Make Traditional Bagi Necklaces 16:19 – 🎣 Fishing the Traditional Way 18:12 – 💭 Final Thoughts on Motorina Village 🫶 Support Our Journey: 💡 PATREON ☞ https://www.patreon.com/c/onceuponareef ☕ Buy us a coffee ☞ https://buymeacoffee.com/onceuponareef 🎁 Send us a gift ☞ https://throne.com/onceuponareef 🌍 Follow Our Adventures: 📸 INSTAGRAM: @onceuponareef & @wheres.poppy 🎥 Poppy's YouTube Channel ☞ https://www.youtube.com/wherespoppy 📧 BUSINESS INQUIRIES - onceuponareef@protonmail.com Hey there, we’re Ryan and Poppy, a couple of adventure junkie sailors out to explore the most amazing reefs and islands in the world.

In this episode, our family splits up for two very different adventures in Panama. Shane and our oldest son, Cole, join a friend’s sailboat to help with a full Panama Canal transit, while I stay back in Linton Bay with Hudson and Addison. Their journey takes them through the first three locks and into Gatun Lake for the night, but the real challenge comes the next day when the line-toss crew doesn’t show up as they approach one of the Pacific locks. A missed throw nearly turns into a big problem. Meanwhile, the kids and I set out on our own whimsical adventure. Spotting monkeys on a morning walk, swimming in a mangrove where crocodiles might be lurking, hopping buses into Panama City, wandering the colourful streets of Casco Viejo, and eating our way through the day. After their long canal crossing and our playful dash through the city, we finally reunite at the anchorage outside Panama City. Two different paths, one unforgettable adventure.

As our season begins to wind down, we head for Jolly Harbour Marina and Boatyard, our seasonal layup location. Upon arrival, the first order of business is to drop, flake, and store our sails below. And getting a huge 140% Genoa down and flaked is no small task. Plus, in the past we found ourselves fighting ongoing rain and showers. Such is problematic because if you fold up a wet sail, it will mold for sure over the next several months. So we worked and planned to make sure we picked a good day. But showers tend to arrive almost every afternoon, so when we saw beautiful blue skies, we knew it was time to hustle. sailing yacht talisman, sailing, sailing YouTube, boating, top sailing, oyster yachts, oyster sailboats, oyster 485, offshore, bluewater, blue water, sailing vlog, sailing vblog, sailing videos, cruising, monohull, boat projects, offshore how to, boat life, antigua, jolly harbour, jolly harbor

We escape our wet, mouldy boat and trek barefoot for hours through rough terrain to help plant yams in a local garden—unlike anything seen in modern society. In the Louisiade Islands of Papua New Guinea, gardening is a mix of tradition and sustainability. Using slash-and-burn methods, hand tools, and rain-fed irrigation, locals grow yams, sweet potatoes, taro, and more. These gardens, often far from villages, are vital for survival and hold deep cultural significance. Join us as we experience firsthand the hard work, knowledge, and traditions that sustain life in this remote paradise. 00:00 - Intro to the Day ⏰ 1:04 - Trying Local Foods (Sago a New Way) 🍽️ 3:10 - Intro Video 🎬 3:39 - How Locals Wash Dishes 🧼 4:10 - Hiking Through the Bush to the Garden 🥾🌿 6:21 - Plants Their Ancestors Would Eat 🌱🍽️ 7:35 - Arrival at the Garden 🚶‍♂️🌺 9:36 - Poppy Plants Yams with the Ladies 🌿👩‍🌾 12:29 - Interview with Caroline About Village Life 🎤🏡 14:03 - We Made History (Again) on Sudest Island 🏆🌴 14:38 - Feasting with the Locals 🍲🤝 15:06 - Poppy Jams with the Locals 🎶🍽️ 🎥 Episode 12 – Sailing the Louisiades, Papua New Guinea 📍Location: Sudest Island, Louisiade Archipelago, Papua New Guinea ☕ Support Our Journey ☞ https://buymeacoffee.com/onceuponareef Or 🎁 Send us a gift ☞ https://throne.com/onceuponareef 🌍 Follow us: 📸 INSTAGRAM: @onceuponareef & @wheres.poppy 💡 PATREON ☞ https://www.patreon.com/c/onceuponareef 🎥 Poppy's YouTube Channel ☞ https://www.youtube.com/wherespoppy 📧 BUSINESS INQUIRIES - onceuponareef@protonmail.com Hey there, we’re Ryan and Poppy, a couple of adventure junkie sailors out to explore the most amazing reefs and islands in the world.

For the full written captain’s report, test and performance data, and more about the Quicksilver Long Block and Crate Engines, go to: https://www.boattest.com/engine-review/Quicksilver/53500214_Long-Block-and-Crate-Engines_2019 Older boats without a well-functioning engine, or, perhaps one that doesn’t work at all, means the value of that boat has gone to zero. The solution to protecting that investment – and fun for the whole family – is to repower the boat. Replacing old engines can be less costly than one might think, depending on the condition of the engine. For example, perhaps only a new block is needed, or a new block and some of the additional parts, but not all.

Nach der anstrengenden Überfahrt vom Rio Dulce in Guatemala über die Bay Islands in Honduras sind wir in den San-Blas-Inseln in Panama angekommen. Wir segeln kreuz und quer durch ein Seglerparadies aus endlos vielen Inseln, die man sich für die Wunschpostkarte nicht schöner ausmalen kann. Sandstrände mit großen Palmen, Ankerplätze, die durch vorgelagerte Riffe geschützt sind. Kurze Distanzen, Sonnenschein. ▬ keywords ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ #panama #sanblas #kuna #guna #kunayala #gunayala #Indianer #Zentralamerika #congreso #CentralAmerica #atlantik #atlantiksegeln #atlantiküberquerung #barefootroute #Barfussroute #blauwasser #blog #bluehorizon #boatlife #boat #boot #bootfahren #bootsprofis #cruising #expedition #fahrtensegeln #freunde #Glück #Hurrikan #huricane #hurricaneseason #hurrikan #karibik #katamaran #lavagabonde #lagoon40 #langfahrt #langfahrtsegeln #marianoa #ozeansegeln #plan #planinternational #roundtheworld #reiseblog #reisen #segeln #sailing #sailinginsieme #schiff #schnorcheln #segelabenteuer #segelboot #segeljungs #segeln #segelnüberdenatlantik #segelyacht #segler #sommer, #sonnenuntergang #strand #summer #sunset #svdelos #tobago #traum #travel #umdieweltsegeln #unterwegs #vlog #vlogger #weltreise #weltumsegelung ▬ Über diesen Film ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Starterbatterie Ein Stückweit haben wir die Sorgen des Blitzeinschlages in Guatemala vor einem halben Jahr mit hierher genommen. Nachdem auch die zweite Starterbatterie den Dienst quittiert hat, muss eine neue organisiert werden. Batterien sind in Panama absurd teuer. Diesel Der Diesel ist backbord und steuerbord nahezu alle. Ein Kuna-Boot transportiert uns 350 Liter Diesel bis zu MariaNoa – herzlichen Dank für diese Aktion. Frischwasser und Trinkwasser Aber unser größtes Problem ist die Frischwasserversorgung. Durch den Blitzeinschlag hatten wir vor der ungeplanten halbjährigen Produktionsunterbrechung die Membranen weder spülen noch konservieren können. Nach Wiederinbetriebnahme produzierte unser Wassermacher im Süßwasser zwar noch merkwürdig schmeckendes und riechendes Frischwasser, nicht aber im Salzwasser. Wir versuchten die Membranen auszubauen und irgendwie zu spülen - vergeblich. Dringend bestellte ich daher beim Hersteller die benötigte Ersatz-Unit. Aber wenn man etwas dringend, sehr dringend, benötigt, dauert es um so länger. Vor knapp vier Wochen habe ich mit dem Hersteller das erste Mal Kontakt aufgenommen. Aktuell stecken die Ersatzteile beim amerikanischen Zoll in Jacksonville Kentucky fest – und wir haben nichts zu trinken. Habt Ihr konkrete Fragen? Gerne beantworten wir diese auf MariaNoa@gmx.de. ▬ Über diesen Kanal ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Wir sind Brigitta und Hannes. Wir segeln gemeinsam um die Welt. Dafür haben wir uns einen Katamaran gekauft, mit dem wir Anfang März 2021 von der französischen Atlantikküste auf die Barfußroute gestartet sind. Seit vielen Jahren war eine Weltumsegelung mein (Hannes) großer Traum, den ich berufsbedingt zum Renteneintrittsalter verwirklichen wollte. Manchmal kommt das Leben aber anders als man plant. Im Frühjahr 2020 erhielt ich die Diagnose Morbus Parkinson. Plötzlich beschleunigte sich mein Leben erheblich, ich verkaufte mein Haus, löste den Hausrat auf und begann Berge an Schiffsausrüstung anzuschaffen. „Leinen los!“ war für Anfang März 2021geplant – und so kam es auch, trotz Corona. Brigitta war natürlich erst einmal vollkommen überrascht, obwohl eine Weltumsegelung wesentlich besser in Ihr berufliches Leben als Vorruheständlerin passte als in meins. In den letzten 6 Monaten hat Sie aber eine erstaunliche Entwicklung hinter sich gebracht und freut sich auf unser großes Abenteuer genau wie ich. Plan International ist ein internationales Kinderhilfswerk. Auf unserer Reise wollen wir nicht nur in Traumbuchten chillen sondern Programmländer von Plan besuchen und die dortige Arbeit dokumentieren.
