So guys something special came in the mail and I'm so excited to share it with you. So
I just wanted to say a massive thank you to all you guys for supporting us over this past year,
it's been a pretty wild adventure. Oh my gosh what a journey it has been from the moment that
John and I obviously left Melbourne. We just need to get through the marina and provision.
Sailing up the East Coast with literally no experience, in hindsight I can't believe we
did it. This channel would not be possible without you guys and without our sponsors.
Feeling a little emotional with the honest guys. Let's open this up.
There she is. Wow thank you guys so much for tuning in every single week. So what
does it say? Let's stop getting emotional and acting like a little baby. Some 100,000
subscribers how far you have come. If each of your subscribers were a light year they could take
you from one side of the Milky Way to the other. I know it can be pretty daunting you know learning
how to sail... "We're going through the heads" and committing to buying a boat or stopping a job
for a little while to have a bit of an adventure. What do you reckon? And, this week this little plaque
took us all the way to the other side of the world. 107 000!!! For a YouTube gathering like no other.
You get lounge access, we have a lounge over there! But first we needed to fly from Australia to
the United States of America.
A total of 30 hours in transit, thank you, we ended up in Washington DC.
Yeah. Three minutes. Where are we off to Kristina? Well... we have just arrived.
Touching down and walking right into a party full of YouTube rock stars.
That's the look, look at the colour of the pallet!
We're just on our way to the amazing Annapolis boat show,
This is where we got to meet a heap of you legends at the YouTube stand.
This is honestly my claims in fame!
This is actually John and my first boat show ever.
He's here!!!
What's has been your favorite thing about the boat show?
Meeting lots of cool people and yeah lots of cool boats.
I totally agree! We've got to meet some of the Patreons, Braxton and Keith
and this is Debbie, who watches all the way from Canada!
I really enjoyed going to the Jeanneau stand. I know that sounds a little bit cliche.
So obviously there are so many different exhibits here but we're just on our way
to the Jeanneau exhibit. This one is a special one close to our heart because our very first boat Tucana happened to be a Jeanneau.
She was a 2008 model but these are the latest and greatest designs by the French manufacturer.
And Paul the former American president was our host.
Paul gave us these VIP Jeanneau passes but he's the real VIP here.
I don't know. The president of Jeanneau for 20 years.
I did. I got a chance to run Jeanneau in America for about 20 years. Amazing. Up until about 2014.
Well they get you line cutting privileges and you get lounge access. We have a lounge over there. Should we go? Sure let's go!
We then stepped foot on the 60. It was fitted with a hidden TV, in built barbie,
and more, I guess you could call it, lounge access. Yeah this is good. This is good, right?
You're pretty well protected there too.
This beautiful lush carpet in here as well. Hello! Hi, how are you? I'm good, I'm good.
Are you um making yourself comfortable? I am. I'm six foot four, so for your you know recording purposes you
can see that. Wow.
Oh is that unusual do you usually? It is unusual. I don't usually fit in the shower.
This one I can stand in. Okay. Most of the time I've got a bend like that.
Obviously we just saw six foot four guy in here. but I am five foot four and I have absolutely plenty of room.
The carpet is incredible. It makes it feel like really ...homey... comfortable.
Yeah yeah, it's great. Well she's a beauty.
That is very cool. I love that. Isn't that cool? We have some really exciting sailing
and traveling plans for next year, and really only our patrons are privy to all the details,
but we can reveal that Europe is on the cards. We know many of you loved our Greece series and
our current Aussie series, but soon we will be broadening our horizons and ticking off
some new countries in the Med, which we're really excited about. How cool is that?
It's got these windows.
That's a fantastic idea. Look at the bow sprit, so you can fly kites and stuff off then, see it's got the furler there
so you can put like your Code Zero. It's well thought out. Definitely. It's a good size, isn't it?
That's a great spot for it. I haven't seen that before.
We went to the Jeanneau owners party and it was really amazing, we met some cool people, there was like
champagne, and the red lights and the boats all lit up at night time, it was really lovely. We got to share
some pretty amazing stories, or hear some pretty amazing stories from people that have finished
circumnavigations and comparing notes. It was good. One of our other favorite things as well
was going on at La vagabonds boat. Their boat was here, and they had a huge line, and obviously
you guys have probably been watching them for years and that was a really nice experience.
I think just meeting all the YouTube channels, sailing channels, YouTubers and just mingling and having fun and
we had a few parties all together, didn't we? A lot of parties. A lot of parties. It was great John and I are very sleep deprived.
Taylor's Travels.
Spirit Animal.
Ryan and Sophie sailing. I'm Ryan that's Sophie... or that's..
So funny little segments, Sophie had flown in from Sweden with some ammunition.
I'm going to take you on a journey. You can pick your adventure. Okay all right, oh
A few months back we got to sail Greece, with charter company Navigare, but up
until this point we had never met the team in person, only via email and WhatsApp, so this
was a special moment. Alright so this is the Navigare drinks at 5:30 event. Welcome aboard.
And just a quick break a massive shout out to our sponsors this week, YouFoodz. We always like
aligning with products that we think you would get a lot of value out of, so you foods are ready-made
meals. They're healthy, they're nourishing, made by dietitians. You can get these delivered to your
door or add a marina, every single week. There are more than 60 meals to choose from. Now this would
have been a perfect opportunity for us to use on our trip from Melbourne to Sydney. I was here
in the galley trying to make soup that was so ridiculous in hindsight. I could have got burnt,
it was very uncomfortable. If we had some of these, could have just whipped them up really quickly.
But these are a really great alternative if you want to save time, if you have a busy work schedule,
you have elderly grandparents. I really hope you get a lot of value out of this. So if you guys use
that code in the description below you'll get a hundred and forty dollars off when you sign-up.
Okay back to the show!
I'm so glad that we got to take you a little bit behind the scenes.
The Annapolis boat show has been one to remember for us, our very first great show.
Definitely recommended it.
Also it has been a really really crazy couple weeks, so thank you so much for waiting out for this episode.
We were pretty much lobbying the Government to clean up some of those Great Barrier Reef islands that were riddled with plastic
from Asia. We had a little News segment. I'll play that now.
YouTuber Kristina Costalos has been sailing in Queensland.
She's shocked at just how much debris is on our remote Islands.
Pretty much every single Island that we visited on the Great Barrier Reef was impacted by plastic.
Well we'll see you next week. We are going to be heading to, Walker Reef.
Walker Reef. This is a little sneak peek. What was your favorite thing about Walker Reef? The Reef.
We spent like five days in this absolute remote Paradise. It's a bit of like a day in the life...
What?
We've been going for like five minutes. Yeh but...
All right keep going.
Alright, see you later guys John is done.
He's had it. Our brain's aren't functioning. We're kind of a little bit delirious at the moment.Yeah.
