Patreon ONLY | Our Best Friends Come Sailing in Tonga | Episode 278
On this week's episode WE do some serious sailing in order to pick up some friends who fly in to see us all the way from the USA!! On the way down we encounter hundreds of humpback whales and even have some close calls with a few of them...... But we make it safely to the main town where the airport is located, and after they board, all hell begins to break loose as we laugh our way all the way back north where we have a whale tour scheduled in just a few days!!!
Thanks for following the adventures!!!

That's a lot of whales.
It's also a lot of footage of whales. Took us days to go through it all, and we are still going through some
Great video, as always! You always have a really good combination of fun, interesting marine context and great video scenes. I have a question: I noticed that you set the boom all the way to starboard with a preventer when underway on engines (at least on this video). In my Helia, when underway on engines, I’ve been setting the traveler all to port and with the main sheet short the boom is out of the way on port. Do you do that to give the solar panels on the boom more light? Or for a different reason?
Hey thanks for watching and I’m glad you enjoy the episodes, we try to make sure it’s a god blend of all the things. So yes, we push it all the way over to maximize the solar array when we are at anchor. We push it to one side or the other depending on the location of the sun!
Hilarious!! Looks like you had a fantastic time!! What a beautiful friendship 🥰
