Yes! Florence episode. So happy, its Friday I just opened a bottle of wine, kids are in bed... can my weekend get any better?! You guys have worked so hard over the past 6 years. Thank you for allowing us to come with you on this journey. I'm going to book the day off work to come down to the south coast to shake your hands in person once you get back to the UK! The BEST sailing channel on YouTube. Matt. Amy. You guys deserve every success in life. Keep going!

I really don’t understand how you haven’t gotten more viewers during the last 5 years. I do so enjoy your travels and seeing foreign destinations that I would never otherwise see. I sincerely hope finishing your first circumnavigation does not mean the end of your channel. Not having you to watch would be very much like losing dear old friends I have come to love. Always wishing you fair winds and full sails, and happy times. Cheers.

How you've nurtured Florence on your 6-year Adventure; still looking pristine . Formidable Team; formidable achievement. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. It has been an education and a pleasure. And congratulations on retaining such a positive view of Human Nature.

[banjonichols]

Thank you for taking all of us with you....really have enjoyed our journey.

[bdphourde]

Did I ever mention how much I like your "tag-team" narrations! Your diction is so easy to understand, which is so indicative of the British. You have a great eye for converting the scenery into a scene for us! We follow you because we, too, want to see the world from the deck of a sailboat, and the views are leaving us in awe! And I agree that while the physical world can be beautiful to behold, it is usually the people we encounter along the way that will make or break it for us on the voyage.

Matt and Amy...two of the most likeable people on YouTube 😍

[AndrewC]

Circumnavigated your dreams - the world was just a bonus.

[thomasdouglas]

Of all the episodes on all the sailing channels, this one was the most profound in putting the day to day cruising life, and the opportunity that exists for those brave enough to slip the lines, into perspective for me.

Congratulations on an achievement of a lifetime!

I follow a bunch of sailors on YouTube, and you guys make the best videos...hands down! Thank you!

[ranger]

Congratulations! What an exciting adventure you two have had! Your videography is superb. Thank you so much for bringing us along. You're a couple of exceptional people.

[earlashton]

I cant believe I've followed you for six years. What will happen when it is over. There will definately been a void for if it should suddenly end.
But congratulations that is big.

[PhilLemoine]

Cheers to 6 years and crossing all the longitudes! You're awesome 👍

[Adogsmate]

I did really enjoy your interactions with the children you have come across. One day, you both will make great parents and your children will be very lucky to be guided though their lives by you two people..
Florence is looking beautiful at sea as always.

[moesailing]

There is literally no amount of money that could compare with what you have experienced over these 6 years. PRICELESS. ⛵

[hughburgess]

Priceless experiences and coverage. Inspiring others to follow. Living life to the full. Gaining new perspectives. No moments wasted. Challenges faced. Coping with sleep deprivation. Amazing cultures. Humbling to watch and quite, quite brilliant.

Total win win win.

[tomst]

Congratulations on completing your global circumnavigation! You have accumulated several lifetimes experiences on your 6+ year voyages, seeing so many parts of the world most of us will never see in person. Thanks to your phenomenal videography and narrative skills your viewers have been able to accompany you from our comfortable chairs, seeing all the fantastic places and people you have encountered. In a world gone mad this channel has been for me a touchstone for humanity, as the interactions you have had across so may different cultures have been overwhelming positive. Thanks for sharing your adventures and best wishes for continued success !

[ToastandJam]

Hard to believe that I have been watching your journey for six years!!!!

[DAVIDKEYTON]

This was one of those videos you rush home to watch on the big tv…

[Sailing_Antrice]

Gosh is it really six years since we met in Port Solent. I think remember Florence being on the hard and chatting briefly to you both. Your video's have been astonishingly good and you have grown as sailors and people in most extraordinary ways its been a privilege to follow your journey. Thank you.

[stevemellor]

I also lift my rum glass to the two of you for taking us along on your exciting adventures. I love the recap as it reminds me of your past episodes. You two always put a smile on my face. This has to be made into a movie!
