These Men Sail 200 MILES in a Traditional Sailboats

Holy shit, that was one of the coolest places we've ever been, they're really good

sail

ors, they're really amazing at what they do, it's going to be a rage in the canoes, yeah, and it's going to look like that one over there, they're pretty clever . Yes, what happens is that the work these Canadian raiders do rents a house and uses it to

sail

to mainland Papua New Guinea. There are two to three days left before the sales, in fact very often they are only made of blue tarps like the ones in your garden. It's the South Pacific I guess we always imagine they sell far, far away you guys are clever look at that so Martin what is what is this?

How do you do this? It's metal ten. Do they cut holes in the can and then wrap it? right on the reefs, they don't have them, they don't have a centerboard, they're an outrigger so it's like someone dug out that has a little bit of a V twist, it's also pointy at the bottom and then you have the outrigger which is another tree , they make a hole in the side with a homemade rasp and then run the stick through and then attach that rig to that stick. They are heavier wood on the original bottom and sometimes the piece.

They will have a family member who goes to work and therefore they are a richer family and they will have a motor boat like a panga, like a banana boat, they call them, they are the fuel and they are very expensive in Papua New Guinea . So with these sailing canoes they can go

miles

for free and then I stop and they sleep on an island so all you have to do is get to an island and there are little fishing camps or little camps everywhere and like little huts that are still in use and they use them when they make these big trips around their trade route or to the mainland to get a big supply.

How long does it take to do this? How many families like canoes? How many people can use them? Anyway, a whole island community uses it, so one of the things that happens when we were there is they offered to take us to one of these, let's say Laos, we thought that's cool, but how can we give back? So we came up with a few. First we had the old code zero or one of our sales. This is an old light sell, but I think it's better than hard. Okay, okay, they usually have holes and are sewn with needle and thread like hand thread.

They don't have sewing machines electricity now it's outrageous how fast they go with these things and how far away their

traditional

sailing canoes are here in Papua New Guinea Luisi silo states ina I love their navigation pin ok you know what language sila and they are everywhere, there are so many, there are small ones, big ones, giant ones, that make little babies that sail around the lagoons. There are some of the coolest sailing canoes we have ever seen. In fact, they are the best sailing community universe we have ever seen. I haven't seen that many canoes sailing, so this is cool.

Let's go sailing with Grubin. We'll be fine or we'll do it. We're not going to sink the ship. No, we are not going to sing. You do not know? I have to be careful not to tip it over, no, no, don't worry about this, this is a forest, yes, yes, we don't believe you didn't go to the white team, it's okay, we synchronized and they are incredibly fast. They are so good at what they do, oh shit those things come off how old is this one now? We only accepted it this year this year, okay, what is this?

We need more for our bagging for the best move, yeah, so you took it. This is diving with yes, yes, from Pan Up in Paul Wow, but all the trees still come from this island called Pan Yeti and all the main builders are in Ponte Pom Pom or Pan Yeti, so your canoes come from the builders in a. island or another, so they did it in powdered compound, they are just a problem, yeah, working with a vegan 9500, you know, a pig, yeah, my God, and this mafia is in four thousand and one, okay, Tina, and this one is a little different.

It has the record because that panel is a little higher when you look at them, they are different types or shapes. I'm talking about they were made by the same guy, not different, yes, but the same thing hides Anabella's phone, yes, okay, where can you? stand and where you can't stand on this boat where you can sit where you can't sit there are certain areas you can't sit that will break if you sit on this yes you know this stabilizer yes it's not me you know language it we call an Iowa paniolo that's for ladies sitting when we load ladies lady sit there we boys and men just get out of this and do the job this was a flame okay ladies and girls sit here With babies, yes, we have stops.

In here, okay, so we actually had to seal the baby and they asked us which one do you want to go ahead with and I told them I wanted to go out with a small one quickly, of course, and also, I think it was a little bit easier, but Then they looked at Ben and they were like a big guy because that white guy is going down on this little guy, can you be there? Not in a bad way, but they are so rickety when you get on them. it's like everything moves like it's fine the actual stabilizer is tied with little pieces of rope like a broken one no yeah rope line whatever you want to call it and yes everything flexes but it works man like you work totally there on the other side. thank you, kiss, earth, goodbye, yes, we are leaving here, so we left, time is up for the sale, how are you?

They tied the bow of the sail and I sewed a rope along the foot and applied the foot to the boom I guess it's pretty simple it's amazing we're done I definitely feel like I'm big for this canoe people you guys are a little smaller one side of the canoe the windward side is always the winning side and that is the side with the stabilizer, so when they go against the wind and want to turn, they go in the other direction, they can't because the rigger would be on the leeward side, so what they do is they take the whole boom, turn it up, up and back the other way, yeah, it's outrageous, so it's a completely different way of sailing.

The guy holds the paddle at the top and then uses this foot to steer the bottom, so it's steady, like pulling or pushing with his foot, but with one foot on it. water and then use lever to pull, push, yeah, there's the rudder and you see these sailing exits everywhere on the news there, like

miles

and miles and miles out to sea and they go on, you're thinking what's that like? the horizon, then it is quite safe to set sail, yes, sometimes it seems as if the whole town in the CLO becomes a whole family, yes, and then all their products as if they have gone shopping on the mainland, so a lot of They meet to go shopping. on dry land for whatever they need and then they come back and the boats are like people loaded with tons of stuff that I'll chew on and feel like yeah and they just like to have a good time, they love to see that sailboat and we I love to watch them go by, it's just great sometimes when we're here sailing and exploring and going into these towns and taking you for a ride it changes things because we have to explain to the camera what's really going on and at first it was a little awkward because people were looking at the camera and what? what the hell is that guy doing?

What do you think it is? But we explained to them that we make videos. I think it has changed our perspective or our experience as we venture through these. cultures, by the way, I totally agree, that's it, it has absolutely changed our experiences, I think mainly because we can share it and it's like we can live the moment twice, so how cool is it to be able to go and have this madness. experience where you reflect on it in the moment, but about a month later I was able to watch a video about it and you're right, it's different with the camera and it's not just different with the camera because the camera doesn't necessarily change our experience in the moment no, but it puts a different lens on what you're seeing, you're trying to see it through how you would see it and for some reason that changes things and I don't know why.

It is, but it's for the better, wouldn't you say? I think so, absolutely, I think it's so much fun to go out and do these things and they're so common that they eat like they know every reef pass knows it. I knew where we could go, so you had depth, it was everywhere, they were so in tune with their areas and it was pretty amazing and the currents there were fierce, they were some of the fiercest currents I've seen in a long time and we were going. next to the sail on this poor damn boat was oh and I thought our boat was heaving and digging and here this guy is like just there, the expensive bailing, that's cool, yeah, it makes you realize how resistant and robust that are our boats. are and how we continue in this mentality of who knows this boat will make you know, I don't know and this is not to compare, you know what type of boat with its type of sailing canoe to sail around the world, but it is to show that you can surf anything and it basically comes down to comfort level.

I would say that you can say that we are a little more comfortable, a lot more. No, no, no, navigate. Oh, it was a very fun adventure. Thanks for joining us. put on such a kick taking you guys for this trip Benton spent the day going like a million miles to the other island on the big one to get the best internet. I literally took a boat for an hour drive to this other Ireland to get a The Digicel SIM card has this little card, but it doesn't have any data on it, as they call it top-up here, which means I can't add data to it, so basically I don't have internet so no videos, sorry new dad.

Guinea man, what are you waiting for? I know you sold here on no, let's do this, okay, today we're going to ping Josh, unfortunately I have to go up on the Internet, okay, yeah.
