Sailing SV Flow - 2 people, 4 dogs, 0 experience
We’re just a couple of middle-aged empty-nesters who are slightly prone to “Oooh-Shiny” Syndrome and sometimes lack the good sense to back down from a challenge. Granted, no one has ever accused us of leading boring lives; crazy, maybe, but not boring. We don’t do sweet, sane life-in-a-box. We do live in a near constant state of chaos, but chaos has become our friend and our mentor. Now we’ve really jumped off the deep end (pun definitely intended) and are taking on our biggest challenge yet- we are setting out on a circumnavigation of the globe in our 45' sailboat with our four dogs as unwitting accomplices. This new adventure promises to shape and mold our lives in ways we’ve only imagined. We invite you to follow along with us as we turn the page on this new chapter. And don’t worry- while you are starting in the middle of our story, you, my friend, have the benefit of skipping right to the best chapter!

Well, we are still here...barely. We stopped videos for a couple of weeks since we really had shot everything there was to shoot in Marathon, and then headed out for the Bahamas. That started off pretty bad. Here is part 1 of that journey where you see excited and motivated people ready to go. Little did we know that 24 hours later we would be considering selling the boat, giving up the journey...

22 A medical emergency stops our progress
Full time live aboard isn't for everyone. The issues they had, lack of funds, and inexperience got the better of them I think.
This is great. I was wondering how living off grid would be for me. Miss you guys. Enjoy!
typical americans start something and never finish just like there sci fi series, i suggest unsubbing like i have done
Of all the sailing channels I have watch…. You were the last ones I expected to just disappear! You did so much….if you quit… that’s ok…. But just a goodbye!!
am not quitting but i have slacked on videos of late but will resume early next month
@@gatecrasher1970lol, pretty sure that comment wasn’t aimed at you but too the folks whose channel this is.
I waiting too….hope you are ok….
Enjoyed your channel. Hope you are both doing well.
I believe they sold FLOW. I saw it online for sale a month ago. ☹️
link?
Where you guys?
What happened to you guys?
Guess this channel is over
I’m waiting too…… hope they are ok…
Soooo, did you cave? If so I am so sorry. Please just give the 3.88k of us proof of life!
Is the owner really in jail?.....has the boat sunk?......what's happened?.......looks like FLOW has somehow stopped flowing.......

Any nibbles on the boat yet?
Haven’t seen a video lately, yall doing ok?
Hey!!! Where are you guys?
was wondering same thing
So uh… you two still alive? MIA in May.
How much did your tower cost if you don't mind me asking? Great job btw
OMG, you guy's are dumb enough to own a Land Rover too, That's Awesome..!
how do i send you guys alcohol?
“…good blows in the Berries.” PHRASING! Annnnnnd easy on the camera angle…almost saw the store front of the “jewelry store”! Lol! Glad to see ur on ur way finally!
Did you get a survey before you bought this boat? I've watched all the videos and I never heard you discuss your process for purchasing. I'm just curious if any of the issues you've encountered were known from a survey. Thanks for all the content, I binged all of them and have a million questions.
Awesome
This was very interesting your videos are great always fun and good music . thanks ! San Diego, Ca USA
Good video 👍👍
❤❤❤❤❤
This was a good one ! But I have liked all of your vids so far. I would love to go there myself ! I would want a tractor and plenty of fuel to clean up all that growth of tress high weeds and briars. Hope flow is been treating you guys well ! Good luck, and the next sounds interesting from your insight of how it went !
Great video, guys. Loved the paddle board into the abyss. 😮
Paddling in a natural deprivation tank..interesting sensation .. interesting abandoned drug lord ,island looks like something may still be going on there with all the boats and garages with more modern stuff in it
I like that shirt with fish-pattern!
Glad to see those smiles.
The reason eggs are at "room" temperature, is that it's the temperature they are when they come out of the Hen, there's no requirement to keep eggs in a refrigerator, they have a natural defense against bacteria.........it's called the shell, only in certain countries do they wash the eggs and remove that natural defense.......
Happy birthday buttercup
Thanks for the new drink-- Pink Panty Dropper:--Happy Birthday! Funny when i worked offshore in the marine side of the oil business I would be gone 30 days and off 2 weeks. Being single I would make my dinner for the special occasions with girls that didn't have much in the imagination when it came to food. Getting even wacker when a guy would out cook them. I had a dinner I made, that had no name Which I deemed the Panty Dropper-- Portobello mushrooms Merlot, heavy cream, scallions all cooking in 2 sticks of butter which you throw that mixture on your grilled chicken. I usually got fresh asparagus and rice. Easy
how much was the cereals lol?
Nice loaves
Let the puppies breathe!! And happy birthday!!
Good luck coming your way!!!! Your persistence I has to pay off ….many would’ve given up by now keep plugging along. There is a pot of gold at the end of your rainbow for sure.
Pasta e fagioli
Guys, I bought off of Amazon two small flask, made of stainless steel. They'll maybe hold 1/2 a pint of adult beverage. I like my Jack/Crown and Coke or Jack/Crown & Ginger-Ale, fresh on the rocks. Like you said, those homemade, premixed cocktails, can get you in trouble. Maybe do a bit more "EXPLORING" on the beach than one would care to mention. I hope the bread turns out well. Buns, Buns everywhere on this beach trip. 🤣🤣 Turn before you burn. The three worst places to get sunburn: top of the feet, back of the knees, and like other bald people like me, skull burned! Ouch!! Take care and Enjoy. Heading myself to Key West next week for some shore fishing and bridge fishing, good food, and maybe some fine trim. Been a while since I rode that bike, we'll see if the old saying is true!! I'll wave at you while I'm there. Happy Belated B-day Cade. What's that now, 29-30 y/o. You don't look a day of over 28. Your friend, Alan from NC
Release the hounds!
Looking forward to next episode!! Have you published a guided tour of the ship?
We live in Baja, Mexico and eggs here are for the most part, NEVER refrigerated. In 24 yrs we've never experienced any problems with them.
Happy Birthday ole man! She's a hottie for sure!

I would love to see a more in depth video on what it takes to leave the US with dogs and to check in, in the Bahamas with dogs. Perhaps a list of docs needed for the dogs, the boat, and the people on board.
it was surprisingly easy. You need to click2clear with the Bahamas, and get pet visas prior tp arrival, and pet health certificates before you set sail...thats all. There are 2 parts to click2clear, one each person does with there passport. This is a one time process that just kind of registers you in their system, lets them pre-screen you etc. Once you receive notification of completion there, then the boat click2clear is for the trip you plan. You do that just prior to leaving and need all of your documentation ready. Passports, Boat documentation, Pet visas and health certificates. On the website they say you need the health certificates within 24 hours of arrival. That is not the case if you are sailing since it can take longer to get there. We got ours the day before we left (about a week before arrival). When you get the pet visas, there is included health forms from the Bahamas, that is the pet health cert. Just have your vet fill that out. We'll probably do something about it in the future. but there was not much too it.

"A memory like a goldfish" now that is a marine couple joke I have never heard ;-)
So where you headed for Bimini and end up in Freeport? After graduation we rented a boat in ft Lauderdale and sailed across. This was 45 years ago, it took just over 48 hrs to get there. At 10 at night we dropped anchor and little did we know, or check, and the rode slipped away into the dark water. What a trip
Hoping u finally get the Bahama experience- beaches, drinkies and ocean fun with some great weather in the mix.
well... that was 5 minutes I'll never get back. Seriously, this is not content, this is lazy and a waste of time.
