 | Love your work (Joe - 24th May 13)Hi Chris
You better hang on to that young lady as I am sure that not to many women or men would put up with being as seasick as much as Jess has. Love what you do and look forward to the next installment.
When are you off again

| Terrific story, terrific people (Andrew - 17th May 13)Hi Chris & Jess
I listened to your interview with Richard Fidler in the car, hauling through Sydney traffic on my way to another inane work meeting. Compared to you guys, the rest of us are not living - we're only existing.
You've inspired me to get moving on my own dreams which have always been pushed to one side through nothing more than procrastination.
You're a terrific couple of people. I only hope you get out on the motivational speaker circuit in between your trips to inspire others through your adventures!
Well done, and good luck!
Regards
Andrew

| g'day from sunny Qld (Bhakti - 10th May 13)What an adventure you are having. Loved the video - the engine and hull troubles took me back to my days of wooden boats. Good luck with all you do. May your God go with you. | Chris & Jess's Reply (10th May 13)Hi Bhakti,
Thanks so much for your message on Teleport!! We are starting to learn that wooden boats are a labour of love, and it's really mostly labour!! Ha ha ha! Cheerio, |

| Meeting point...Sydney ? (Jules de Campigneulles - 5th May 13)Thank you so much for your answer ! I put aside my first savings for my project ! As I find a lot of Alberg 29 in Canada (obviously...) I was thinking of going working there after my bachelor, owning the boat, learning the tricks and tips, and then pushing it off... I was thinking about doing Canada-Caribbean-Canary Islands-Good Hope-Madagascar-Maldives-Australia. I was wondering if you had any advice on finding a job one could do aboard, while on cruise. One blog you may like: sailingsimplicity
Hope to meet you someday ! | Chris & Jess's Reply (5th May 13)Hi Jules, We have a friend in Canada who's dream boat is an Alberg... so we know the design well! Your sail plans sound like a dream!! It's hard to sail and make money at the same time, we have to work for 9months and save up to afford to go sailing for three months! But we have meet many live aboard people who manage to make enough money to sustain the life style, ways it can be done is if your boat becomes a 'charter boat' with paid clients for small sections of the cruise (hard with a 29ft yacht), or writing article for sailing magazines (hard, when they dont pay you very much money) we have meet a lot of people who have become like 'handy men' and pick up odd jobs along the way and some that have investments, for instance a house that's been paid off and rented out. All of these options have pros and cons and none are easy! But you'll find a way that works for you and sustains the life style you want! Thanks for the blog suggestions, we actually had the pleasure of meeting both Ben and Teresa in Canada when we were sailing up the coast of Nova Scocia. Really lovely people and glad to see they are still living and loving life aboard! All the best!

| Great Motor (Andy Howie - 5th May 13)Hi.Love the Sabb we have the same motor in our 26ft steel yacht we sailed out from UK, by the warmer route. Ours is a 1964 vintageand had the same problem with the prop control. Still unresolved. It is locked in forward and we connected a control to the clutch lever. I will try the giant hammer solution next. Love the photos, story and videos. The lack of ice is amazing. Times have changed since Willi de Ross did the passage. cheers happy sailing. ANdy and family. | Chris & Jess's Reply (5th May 13)Hi there Andy! That's a great story! Amazing your engine had the same pitch ctrl issue. If you'd like to drop me an email at contact@yachtteleport.com, I'll explain the details of what we did to fix it. Not easy to get at the parts as you're aware, but in the end, just a bigger hammer!!! They didn't even try the whole heating & chilling etc etc..
Ciao

| EOFF (Jules de Campigneulles - 4th May 13)Hi to both of you!
I was looking for liveabord boats, just looking around different websites, and then here I found myself. After watching all of you videos and pictures, I remembered seeing you, Chris, in a short movie about your expedition on Victoria Island, during the Mammut European Outdoor Film Festival, in Lausanne (Switzerland) So glad to have found you again. I'm 20 years old, studying in one of the most prestigious hotel school in the world, they want us to be industry leaders...I actually want to buy myself an Alberg 29 and sail around the world, following "Bernard Moitessier-The Long Way", don't go too far, I'm planning to meet both of you in a few years ^^.Thank you for the wonderful images you take (wildlife, sceneries) and the incerdible inspiration you send us.
Merci beaucoup et, bon vent !
Jules | Chris & Jess's Reply (5th May 13)Hi Jules,
Thanks so much for writing to us! How amazing that you stumbled across our website and have already seen Chris's doco!! 29ft is a perfect cursing sized yacht for solo or couples... so you Alberg would be a great purchase! Hopefully we'll cross paths either on the water or in our travels! Do get in contact with us if you ever find your self in Sydney, Australia.. we are not home very often but you never know! We'll be heading back up to Alaska mid June this year and we cant wait to continue the adventure!! Keep in contact! |
