BOAT LOST AT SEA! (Dream Trip Turns Into A Nightmare)
120 Days At Sea living from our little boat and exploring Australia's most remote Islands and sections of the Great Barrier Reef.
Before we started 'The Castaways' it was this trip that changed our lives forever.
Strick had just been sacked, so we planned a 1 month adventure... 4 months later we eventually rounded the Northernmost point of Australia.
This Series originally played on @BacktoBasics but we're now reliving the best moments and playing them here for 'The Great Adventure' Marathon.
These Episodes will play every Wednesday, while The Castaways videos will continue every Sunday.

This is like being in a heaven full of sea life. Beautiful. You should have given some of your footage to Jim Camaeon Avatar.
These two have brightened many a day for this old man. May they have endless adventures and much love together.
This adventure truly sustained me through Covid. Forever grateful Fran and Strick.

Please... try to came in bawean island in indonesia city gresik east java, there place for snockling with good view in the sea...
A very nice example of " going around the corner ". to see what's on the other side . The mangroves seemed to be an excellent place to " find dinner " . Seemingly a lot of work but fun to watch .Another beautiful example of the unknown .
I’m an Aussie overseas and watch a lot of these (field days and young bloods etc) but this video, guys, you are well in tune and feeding my home sick urges! Living by the tides and the sun is such a nice way to be for the time you are island hopping. Enjoy and thanks for sharing. ❤
The section where the two of you are trying to catch the Mangrove Jack amongst the mangrove roots is the most exciting part of this video clip. Well caught Strick and Fran. Where Strick had to swim to retrieve Salty Dingo would be a heart stopping event. My big boat lost grip of the bottom three times on my last trip to the Gulf, NT. According to the GPS. one drift travelled 3.2 N Miles through very rough seas.
These were great, I remember! Love you two!! 🥰

Amazing to see all the fish in the mangroves like that. The reef footage incredible, losing the boat almost unforgiveable. I love those often forgotten cod on the fire, reckon ther're one of the best.
That blue lagoon on the little island was awesome , so many great fish catch and cooks. Great video.
Your underwater videos of sea creatures never fail to amaze me, thanks again.
I just Love you guys. Grateful for your videos. Merry Christmas Jack and Fran.

Hope you dont run out of strick lots of luck awsome show thanks guys dont forget to snorkel fresh water❤
So chaotic clambering around on those mangrove roots, trying to spear those fish and then extract them from the roots.
The patterns on some of those fish were spectacular. The teeth on that trout though Sheesh!. You both have really discovered some nice locations, loving every minute of these videos. I couldn't stop giggling when you were going after the fish in the mangrove vines lol. I'm like GRAB IT!!! haha Glad you were able to recover the boat without incident. Stay safe out there and God Bless.

Amazing, excellent work.
Nice video friend! Happy new year🎉🎉
beautiful❤💙💜Thanks guys ⚓⛵⛱
Just a thought, Strick, if you ever have to swim for the boat again. Maybe take a float of some sort with you, in case you need a rest mid-swim. Maybe you were thinking you didn't have one on the beach, or have one handy. But, as I learned in boy scouts, a shirt just like the one you were wearing makes a great floatation device. When a shirt is wet, it retains air well. You just pull the collar up over you mouth, but not your nose, breath in through your nose and exhale out your mouth. The shirt fills with air. You can reposition the collar and make it tight just with one hand. The wet shirt seals well on your arms and along the button line. Waves will force some air out through the material, but as you breath out, it refills. You can still make a little progress on your back by kicking and using one arm to swim. Then when you are rested, roll over and start swimming in earnest again. It only takes one serious muscle cramp to disappear you forever when you are out there with no floatation.
Beautiful stuff
Wish you a Merry Christmas and a great New Year. I love watching you guys so much ❤️❤️🎄🎄🌲🌲
Fantastic holiday, with the ideal partner
Strick Fran thanks again for a great video
Hilarious in those mangroves
New subscriber and I adore you guys. Strick, your attention to detail and knowledge of marine life are respectful. Fran, putting up with this idiot is... just kidding. LOL. Fran, you are the best fisherperson and cook ever. Bless you both in all your endeavours and adventures. Stay safe!
