CANOE CAPSIZES! Rob and Jo Birch spent many months filming in the Marshalls as they sailed around the atolls on their yacht Double Trouble.
In this video, the couple writes: “A traditional Pacific canoe capsizes next to us when we are on anchor at Ailuk Lagoon. The five visiting yachts all head over in their dinghy and help rescue the crew. We drag the overturned and damaged vessel to the shallows where we turn it back over and leave the crew to make their way to shore so they can continue the repairs.”
As well as enjoying the daily sights of canoes sailing by, the couple also enjoyed the underwater delights of Ailuk and its stunning anchorages.
The footage is from June 2020 and I thank Rob and Jo for allowing me to share.
About Double Trouble on YouTube:
Hello and welcome to our channel! 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!
