hello to you all I am coming to you live
from Indonesia right now I hope you're
all healthy and happy at the moment I
know this is a pretty difficult period
for most people in the world but yeah
we'll get through it I guess I hope
there'll be things left intact
afterwards I thought I'd just give you a
quick update I know I haven't put a
video out for a little while now yeah
we've definitely been having some
hassles as well but yeah could be worse
there's definitely people out there with
a worse situation than us yeah it's so
just a little update we Marie and I are
currently in Indonesia and Homer Hara I
won't tell you too much about it right
now because I'm going to do an episode
about this and in a week or so but yeah
we we flew out of Europe just before it
closed down and then yeah we've we're on
our 13th day now of quarantine at Metis
cottage there's a video about this place
up here in the in the corner so yeah
tomorrow we're finished with that and
then hopefully hopefully we're going to
get back to the boat and in a couple of
days it's been a big mission and cost
quite a bit of money but it looks like
it's going to work out so anyway this
video is the last of the old season many
of you know I've been in Europe for the
last few months shooting snowboarding
earning money to go sailing again
obviously the wind it got cut short
everything got closed down but anyway
this video is the last one I filmed what
would it have been in December so that's
how far behind I am that was obviously
the plan to get through the winter and
keep putting videos out every two weeks
and that worked out pretty good and this
video today is a little bird-watching
tour with the birds of paradise and then
some sailing and then I got some new
stand-up paddleboards from Indiana so
I'll show you some awesome footage of my
friends and I are using them and you
know some of the most beautiful
locations in Raja Ampat sea I hope you
enjoy that and yeah check back in a
couple of weeks as well for pretty much
up-to-date videos of
back in the boat fingers crossed we'll
be on the boat by the time that comes
out
look here's here's Meridian here
enjoying some reading and yeah it looks
like it's about the storm it's a very
black behind us it's been raining every
day at this time is that thunder and
lightning and then pissing down with
rain okay enjoy this video and the end a
[Applause]
[Music]
mighty good morning to you all and I
guess you could call it morning it's
about quarter to 4:00 a.m. actually so
it's probably still good night but I've
had a coffee and I even had some
breakfast
the reason I've got up so early today
for is I'm doing a bird-watching tour
now I'm gonna try and see the Wilson
bird of paradise there's only one place
around here you can see this bird it's
at supper Korean village and that's
about a 30-minute scooter ride from here
and then we're gonna walk about an hour
and the forest to get there before
sunrise
so yeah trying to get all my camera gear
together to to dub to capture this
little beast and yeah we'll see how it
goes
anyway try to wake up before I do all
that
[Music]
[Applause]
[Laughter]
mm-hmm
though sitting here in the forest it's
about what 7 o'clock 7 o'clock now and
I've just had about an hour of
bird-watching this is the red bird of
paradise and as you can see we just saw
a couple of pretty good interactions a
bit of that a new key bit of mating
going on and lots of jumping around and
posturing and yeah basically this tree
here is obviously their their stomping
ground and the male's just dance around
looking pretty and I hope to attract the
female and every now and again the
female will come over and the males at
all start jumping around even more and
looking their feathers around and yeah
and if the females feeling it and
looking looking like she's liking the
male Lila she'll let one of them climb
aboard oh yeah pretty cool pretty far
away I had to get photos but the video
camera it works pretty good but now it's
all over they're probably all off to
work for the day and a little morning
the little morning session is done so
yes
[Applause]
back at the bike now my little scooter
over here that was pretty cool little
adventure actually it was a bit of a
mess up I probably sit at the start of
this I'm going to see the Wilson bird of
paradise what you just saw there was the
red bird of paradise but there was a
mess up with with the OP either God
didn't speak much English and that
probably didn't make it clear enough but
anyway so it was still good I mean it
was really good it was this experience
now with the red was much better than
the last one I had so yeah it's all good
and I'll go and see the Wilson another
time so now I'm going back to the boat
and I'm gonna leave why sigh and sail
over to a little Bay to hang out for a
few days so I'll show you a bit of that
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
well I was back in Europe recently I
stopped in at Indiana and they gave me a
couple of new paddle boards thanks guys
I've been on the Ambassador team for
Indiana for a couple of years now I use
their products pretty much most days
when I'm on the boat so it's a perfect
combination I'm really really stoked to
be part of their their team and their
boards are amazing and their paddles
well everything the whole thing is
really cool so I thought I'd show you my
new one and I've got a little
competition
someone can win the 50% off one of these
new whole kits and free shipping within
Europe and Switzerland I'll walk you
through the whole kit and show you what
it's like but I'll do it pretty quick
because that's all the boring stuff I
really just want to go and ride these
things around so you get a double action
pump we've got a three piece pedal then
it all goes together pretty easy you
can't get it wrong it's got a groove on
here slides right in same on this end
it's got a group you can't get it in the
wrong way and then the board itself
there's a keel very soon without that
you would go around in circles there's a
repair kit that's it I'll get rid of the
bag and I'll pump this back up
the Finn goes in like this smarter don't
push the front in turn it that way and
then tighten it down couple years ago I
had a kayak on the boat and I thought
that was the bee's knees for sailors you
know I've got the dinging of the output
but to get around and see things and I
wasn't a big fan of stand-up paddling
but uh in the end offered me a board so
I took it noticed the transforms like my
sailing experience the difference
between sitting down on a kayak and
being close to the water and edits the
reflection you don't really see into it
you stand up on one of these things and
buzz around and water this deep over the
correlation of paddled over top or
drifted over top of sharks and turtles
and and all sorts of things and the view
down into the coral is nearly better
than when you're snorkeling for the
honors and you can do pretty big
distances on this I often do I'll go
around this whole island it'll take me
about an hour good thing with these
things are they pack up into this nice
bag that I showed you I don't like to
have things on deck when I'm doing
passages and if I'm just going a half a
day solo leave these pumped up and it's
time to the rails but overnight passages
Oh roll these I put them in their bags
down below I like to have my deck super
clean I don't have any cheering hands up
they don't have anything up there come
upstairs the next day they get pumped up
immediately and I'm using it every
single day I've got a little competition
the winner they can take any of the
inflatable range from Indiana you have
to go on their website which I'll put in
the description below and the winner
will get 50% off a full package plus
free shipping in all of Switzerland in
Europe the person who writes a comment
and gets the most likes on that comment
will win their prize and I will pick it
after about a month of this video
release so good luck and I hope you I
hope someone gets to enjoy this thing
awesome now I'm going to go and use it
it's a 6:30 in the morning now the best
time of the day here it's not too hot
the Sun still didn't come over there
over the island here and it's party so
I'm going to go for a paddle I enjoy
some footage that I have shot with this
new board in the last few days I had a
couple of friends from Swift on board
and they were nice enough to model my
new two new boards for me
and I was also some footage from down in
the Missoula when I was down there a
couple of weeks ago so you you sort of
get to see how I use these things and
how incredible they are
