Oh no. That’s the worst! I am so sorry. You can do it. It’s not that bad!! You just need to have the proper lube and seals. I hate that you have to haul out again!! Our vid shows the step by step so you are good to go!!

Brown went a little caulk crazy. 😂When we pulled the drain out there was a silicone layer so he wanted to replicate it. He figured it couldn’t hurt.

Thank you so much!! Thankful we have not had bad passes yet!! Happy New Year!!

Thanks, Jeff. You are far more confidence in us than we have in ourselves!!

Good times! Miss the Tuomotus.

Thanks, Andrew. Happy New Year to you and Stanley!!

Ha ha. Nope!! People look at us crazy but I am thankful for the head protection especially in the remote islands!! Thanks for watching and commenting!! Happy New Year!! ❤️

Thank you and the same to you!! ❤️ Blessings on you and your family!!

Thank you and the same to you!! Thanks for all of your help this year! You are a champ!

Right? I don’t know why they did it! It hurt watching it. Merry Christmas!! We love you guys and are so thankful for you!! ❤️

Ha ha ha. Merry Christmas. Lots of love to you and your family. Thanks for all your support!!

And a very Merry Christmas to you both. Thank you SO much for your unending support!! ❤️

Merry Christmas, Andrew!! We surely are getting to the famous dove spots this year!! Thanks for being such a great support! Love to you and Stanley! ❤️

Thank you!

LOL. Clearly!!! 😂

Ha ha. I was waiting for someone to comment on that! Well done, JK!

YES!! The currents and Viz were the most influenced in any place we had been. I guess when the water comes over the reef at the SE end continuously, then it's always outgoing current and bad viz. Thanks for always watching!! :)

Thanks for always being here each week!! Yes, the fish traps are crazy....hard to see the tropicals in there! :(

It is called a pineapple sea cucumber. It's one of my favorites to see!

@@EileenCouncill Ty for always responding! Helping me to realize all in due time. It’s amazing how following your channel has taught me so much about boat life, the challenges & the letting go. Great to know my sailing crew has you to connect with. Happy sailing & thanks for keeping it real.

@@annwild8577 OF COURSE!! Thank you for always asking great questions!! I am so glad you are enjoying our channel and YES - we LOVE connecting with your sailing crew!! Merry Christmas!!

Love the videos!

@@xfernandez11 Thank you so much for watching and your comment!

RIGHT???

We learned from the best!! Why change a good thing? We miss you guys!!

LOL. EXACTLY!!! We can't lose the captain then the Admiral would have no one to boss around!! HAHAHAHA

We feel the same way! We always have a big wheel of it!! Thanks for the confirmation!

Butyl tape

Ha ha. Right? But he got it off!!!

They were. Thankful for the memories.

Aw thank you!! Duchess is amazing and the island she lived on is one of the prettiest!!! Thanks for your comment!!

❤️❤️❤️ Such a sweet one!!

Ah thank you! We will need to do that one of these days!! Wireless would be good!

Interesting, do you have a link for ?

I think this is the one we have but have yet to install! a.co/d/dzBayWG

@@SailingBlownAway Thank you very much, I'll keep this link in the right place even if it's not in my country. The idea and the description are more important. At $26, it may not be great quality, but if it does the job, so much the better. Note that you have to connect it to the solenoid, there's no power relay inside (fortunately). If you take care to insulate the connections, it should be fine. Your remote control, it can be anything from false contacts in the buttons to (and I've just experienced this) the cable that ends up breaking internally. It's a vicious fault, one minute it works, the next it doesn't. Best regards, Philippe Edit : I've found same product in France for same price.

Wow thanks for your recommendations. We really appreciate them. Best of luck! I hope yours works out well and I am glad you found one in France!

Ha ha. It was. Brown is the master chef!!

Thank you!! One of our fave places on earth!

Aw, thank you!! You are the best!! Lots of love! ox

YES!! Exactly!!!

Amazing, right? I would LOVE it if they would refurbish that outdoor church, but I would be surprised if they had the money to do so. We are getting better and better with the parasail, but it's still so tricky...much easier with three people! Thanks for always watching and commenting! ;)

HAHA...You are going to go broke watching our channel! HA..and we don't even get kick backs! LOL. Thanks for letting us know that it's a waste of time on the zincs. We had no idea! Have a great week, Andrew!

Thank you!! It was a great time!! Happy Thanksgiving!! We hope your celebration was great!!

Thank you so much!!

I guess you can but the way we do it we don’t have to. Also then we are more likely to break a zipper if we take them off the cushion.

Hey there. Thanks for your comment and watching!! Wasn’t that grouper the best??? 😂

Thanks, Andrew!! We appreciate you!! ❤️

Ha ha. You are a celebrity!! More next week when we head to Kauehi!! So fun to be in Tahiti now!!

Ha ha. He is the best!!!

Oh fun!! You should love it here!! ❤️❤️❤️ They see everywhere.

Thanks for your feedback. Let me give you context. When we made this video we had only sailed for 7 months. We had never owned a boat and knew nothing about being on the water. We were eager to share with others anything we found to be slightly helpful! The fact that this is one of our most popular videos says that it has resonated with others in the sailing world. I am so thankful you are so much more experienced that you know all of the tips we talked about. We hope to learn from you as we continue to grow in our sailing journey!

Well, thankfully it was for the 32k who have watched this before you! I hope you have a great day!

Hahahahahha!!! You are way too observant!! 😂😂😂

Thank you so much for your comments and questions, Philippe! Yes we always use chain floats so the chain sits above the bommies but the first 30-50’ have to be on the sand floor to keep the anchor from pulling out. That’s where you can have some problems or if a bommie sits too high or if your floats aren’t spaced properly. So many things can go wrong! Interesting about prices in France compared to here. I cannot believe how cheap it is here then given the remoteness! Yes the baguettes are the very cheap ones not artisan, but when you rarely see something, it is so special. Now after 7 months with baguettes we don’t buy them! Ha. They cost between 30-70 XPF per baguette. Super cheap. You are right that they don’t last long especially in the heat and humidity. There is an organic farm in Tikehau. They make great soil since 1993. All compost and have incredible fresh goods. They sell them for the same price as the market which is amazing to me I wish other atolls would follow their model. How great for a go buy lettuce from the ground!! Anyway, Tahiti somehow manages to move freshies around the islands without killing our pocket books. It’s a fascinating system. Have a great weekend.

@@SailingBlownAway Hello and thank you for your reply. I hadn't seen the anchor buoys, hence my rather silly question... Thanks for the price of these industrial baguettes, so 30-70XPF is equivalent to about €0.25-0.60, the euro being almost at par with the US$. Clearly not too expensive for low-quality bread. Why not try making it yourself? Yes, I know, gas oven, temperature not perfectly controlled, gas consumption and time wasted, not to mention the heat in the boat... I understand. 🙂😎 I didn't know there were small market gardeners on the atoll. The fact that they sell at a high price may be due to the lure of money or the high cost of living, which is caused by big cars and trucks, satellite subscriptions, telephone, whatever... Great weekend to you too, fair winds ! Philippe

@@Fildefer17 Of course!! No silly questions here! We actually try to eat brown breads. The baguettes were a splurge! We love them with whole grains and make that on the boat! Yes, the small market gardeners were on Tikehau. Their farm is called the Garden of Eden. It was spectacular. I hope someday you can visit it!! Surprisingly they could charge more. I would pay more for organic stuff straight from the ground!! ;)

Us too!

Ideally but at this point I am not going to pull seacocks out of the hull while we are in the water to figure out which bung works!
