Dear Sophie! I am Maria, Matthias' Auntie. I have watched the film of the Roaring Forties and I was so impressed by the whole adventure. My goodness, what a big thing to organize. 8 people on board and you all got along so well. I am also very happy to see my dear MJ in the middle of it all. Matthias' uncle Walter (my late husband) introduced me to sailing on the lakes in Berlin and I can imagine what a big undertaking your sailing trip has been. Every smallest rope or shackle costs so much, the work on board is so hard sometimes and the planning for food supplies and dry clothes etc must be very meticulous. I am thinking of all that. Well done, Sophie and team, mum Annette, partners, sail maker and nurse and everybody. Well done. I enjoyed the film immensely. My daughter Karoline has watched it as well. She sails a big yacht at times and sends her admirations to you all. :-) Maria

Hi Maria! I'm so so glad you and your family enjoyed the video. Yes, much preparation and maintenance go into a boat to complete a sail like this. Thank you so much for your kind comment, I will pass it on to my family 🥰 Best wishes, Sophie

Awesome riveting stuff! Well done you guys!

Simply awestruck and great bluesy music to go with it.🤙

That is absolutely amazing MJ.

Great video which really captures off shore sailing and the race. Thanks for making it. Cheers Jeff, Skipper of Archie and Vice Commodore of the ORCV

Slim & Soph i found the Melbourne to Hobart Race and it was absolutely fantastic. Fika is a Beautiful sailing vessel (Yacht) Love the interior. Yes I guess 8 people on a 49 footer would be tight quarters. You got into some rough seas, but all handle it like pro's. Congrats on your photo award and Fika's 48th place. It's not the win for the sailing it's the being part of it that counts. Yea Soph it was very simple to find this video.looking forward to next video cheers you two are EPIC!

Hi guys, this is Stefan of Catballou. This has to be the best video so far to date. Well done..

How beautiful watching this episode... nothing beats a great crew and memories from being on such an adventure with your family... and of course Sue.. Deb. and the enthusiastic Swede (I want one!), such a fun and energetic bundle of personality on board ...... the best...

What an Adventure! thanks for taking us along with you guys absolutely Loved it!!!

Great sailing, with the family bond and fantastic photography. You guys need to come up to the Great Lakes for the Bayview Mackinac or Chicago Mackinac race. The oldest freshwater race in the world! Could be just as rough as the Hobart. Love your channel!

Congratulations! What an epic episode. You guys should be hugely proud of how this one came together. The subject was obviously great content but you nailed the shoot and edit. It held interest for the full fifty two and half minutes no problem at all. What a great time to get the Insta 360 camera too. We love ours and are learning more of what it can do every episode we do. No doubt you have enjoyed getting back to the warm. Cheers!

Outstanding work - you should be very proud of your achievements 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Wow, what an adventure!! Pass on this message to Slim and Soph. "Oliver and Soph you should do this for a living, your video account of this race was as good as any we've watched previously.

Fantastic. I spotted one of the boats in this video anchored next to us at Binalong bay a few days ago 😄 how goods Tassie? We are going to spend summer here on the hook

That was fun and all but sailing the southern ocean meant something else to me. I visited Melbourne and rounded Horn in '64. Great fun all in all with seas that were a bit more excited. It was good that I was on a somewhat larger boat.
