Sailing A Perfect Day in Ailuk Lagoon Sailing the Marshall Islands A perfect sailing day for us on anchor in Ailuk Lagoon. With no wind we get the toys out and get some great Drone shots while paddle boarding. A fun filled day was had, swimming, paddle boarding and a scuba dive. We take Dave the Dinghy out to the Outer reef and dive a crystal clear blue wall. Our best day on the water.

We are Jo and Rob and we are here to share our sailing adventures with you. In 2016, inspired by the likes of ‘Delos’, ‘Sailing La Vagabonde’ and ‘Gone with The Wynns’, we sold up everything we owned and bought our 40ft, Fountaine Pajot ‘Lipari 41 Evo’ sailing catamaran ‘Double Trouble’. We had no sailing experience whatsoever, so the past few years have been a huge learning curve. We thought it might be fun to document our travels for anyone thinking of following a similar lifestyle. So far we have visited 7 different countries and sailed over 13,000 nautical miles. We have had many unique experiences that would not have been possible in our prior life and we don’t regret a second. We're both super keen on protecting our precious environment, so amongst other things, we both follow a plant based diet. You wont find any fishing footage on this channel!

well it's fairly early in the morning

we're in the northernmost anchorage at

ilock

beautiful night last night no wind to

speak of today

for the first time in quite a while

actually we've had

sort of 20 ish knots of wind most of the

time we've been here

so then we've got a couple of days of

fairly benign weather apart from the

slight rain here and there so it's

raining at the moment

a little bit um but yeah this is uh

beautiful in here today

it's flat calm hoping the clouds will

clear off a little bit

and then the sun will come out and we'll

get out and enjoy the day

don't forget to subscribe to our channel

saturday morning and check that out

people it's not often that you see this

in the marshall islands

no wind whatsoever it is flat calm in

here it's beautiful eh and you are

filling dive tanks because we are going

to go and see if we can get out to the

outer roof today

yep we're going to wait for the tide and

then andrew went through the cut

yesterday

there's a little area there that we can

sneak out

and uh it's meant to be lovely hopefully

if we can see some fishies but this is

just a dilute i'm going to put the

paddle board in in a second

it's very hot but it's very beautiful

and like i say it's literally

it's just flat to come

[Music]

when we moved on board double trouble

four years ago we had a romantic notion

of enjoying a far-flung pacific

paradise

[Music]

we have had many memorable days on the

water since then

but today was one of the really great

ones

[Music]

flat calm with a scattering of clouds

and almost

no wind gave the water a glass out

[Music]

quality

[Applause]

[Music]

do

[Music]

we could see clearly through the water

and marvel at the schools of fish while

enjoying the attention of curious eagle

rays

and baby reef sharks

[Music]

the marshall islands weather usually

provides a consistent

trade wind breeze of around 20 to 25

knots

june and july are less windy months

however

days like this are few and far between

[Music]

with such great conditions it was a

perfect opportunity for a lazy

paddleboard

and to cool off in the clear blue water

before lunch

[Music]

with great conditions holding and

favorable tides

we got set up for a dive and headed off

with andrew and alex from offshore haven

to the outer reef to roll in and blow

some bubbles for an hour

[Music]

dropping the hook in eight meters off a

steep wall

we left the dinghies floating in the

blue while we went to the northwest

point for an explore

[Music]

the first thing we noticed was the

incredible visibility

the deep move water and weak current

made for perfect

conditions and it was a pleasant

contrast to the typically cloudy water

in the lagoon

fish life was still a little sparse but

to be fair

we probably would have had more to see

near the main lagoon passes

[Music]

after a very enjoyable dive it was good

to see the dinghies

faithfully bobbing where we left them

the return journey was uneventful with

the wind having filled in

we had timed the conditions perfectly

[Music]

how's your day been fatty we were just

commenting that it

has been one of those perfect days

absolutely glass out in here this

morning

uh drone flying um paddle boarding

watching rays and sharks from the

surface because the water has been so

clear

and then heading out outer reef and

doing a

cheeky dive so it's been fabulous it's

been a nice

saturday hasn't it we shared it with the

offshore haven pirates they came out

diving with us

yeah it's it was a champion day really

nice

oh there it is there's the full moon

it's behind you

the boat had turned around not the

moment

so there you go perfect gentle perfect

day yeah

it's very nice thank you so much for
