Thumbs up on the video.

In "the South" now, but looks like you still have to wait for the warm weather. Boys don't seem to mind. Lots of fun at the beach... but then a scare! Big shoreline, currents and waves, easy to get 'lost'. I wonder why there are more dogs than children? Next episode looks great.

Welcome to Heehon! Spanish spelling is SO bizzarre. 😀

17:48 While everyone is grieving, Eivind thinks, "Dinner got away". 😀

Interesting. You guys all call Aksel Akso. 🙂

17:25 Ever the optimist. 😀

13:58 Eivind had to fight Niko for the pack of chips? 🙂

13:47 That's a VERY sick bird. 😞

12:35 Does this poor boy even HAVE shoes? 😀

2:17 Now THAT'S the Bay of Biscay. 😀Somehow it's never really calm. Even with no wind or visible waves. Scary place.... not for you though. 🙂

Congratulations on completing your most ambitious sail to date. Quite a mix of conditions, that you seemed to handle well. After the rough start, it was surely heartwarming to receive a visit from your ever faithful ocean companions. (And fortunate, yes, that you got no visit from their big, mean cousins.) A pretty sunset, indeed, at 13:18, 15:18. I thought that the dove coming on board was a good sign, but- alas- that didn't end well. Have a good time in Spain, look forward to your ongoing voyage.

Put him in charge of more videos - but you should make the boys speak English on video for us uneducated types.

You make good videos. That looked like an old refrigerator or freezer y’all were dragging up from the water - if so, it may well have been washed out to sea from some Caribbean island during a hurricane, and carried to the shores of France by the prevailing currents.

You took some rather mundane land down activities and made an interesting video - good job.

Need more popcorn for the next episode. 😀

17:47 Does he eat anything BUT sweets and cakes?

10:48 Somebody reads a lot of Kipling to their kids. Personally, I never liked Riki-Tiki-Tavi. A bit too much murder for my liking. 😀

9:50 You silly goofs! Where do you think it cam from!? 😀 Some monsieur threw it out on the beach and it was washed away by the tide. You will have to take it ALL the way UP.

7:44 And again, Niko is the only one in shorts. 😀

7:12 CAREFUL WITH YOUR TOES!?? So hearnia is fine? 😀

7:09 DO NOT poke the Russian bear (cub).😀

3:00 There is an old Russian joke. A little boy comes home from his first diving practice. His mom asks him, "How was your practice. Did you dive a lot?". The boys says, "It was GREAT! We dove a lot! The coach said if we behave, he'll pour water into the pool".

2:54 Where is Espen's shoes!? Let me guess, sunk in the sand and you never found them!

2:30 YEAH! That's the kind of "beach" both of your kids need. 😀

2:00 What is that?

1:26 Great! Just imagine headlines in Oslo newspapers "Moother of three arrested for stealing figs from EU". **shaking head** 😀

A pretty rocky coast, with a handsome castle. Makes a suitable athletic theater for the boys, who perform daredevil leaps and Atlas Stone lifts. It's a race now to the next town- no yellow lines, speed limits, or cops. Love those dolphins and sunsets. Favorable winds, but no small feat to beat a cat... so good job, crew! Aww, sad to leave Chiquita behind. But we _do_ look forward to the Caribbean. Have a safe passage to the Canaries.

Strange watching the covid restrictions, especially now after it has been exposed as governments having no clue what to do so they treated the general public like animals while laughing behind their backs. In the UK people who were fined or charged for covid restriction offences have bee reimbursed and apologised to. And the ruling government of 14 years has just been kicked out after their Covid lies and cheating were exposed.

Ummm why is your latest video out of date by errrrr 4 years???

I know it’s a chore but if you could post videos more often that’d be grrrrrreeeeaaaat! (If you’ve seen Office Space, you get the joke.)

14:05 HOLY CHICAGO!!! You're surfing at 10 knots!!! WOW!

10:00 Dolphins, dolphins, dolphins, dolphins, dolphins, dolphins, dolphins, dolphins... no dolphins, just water, water, water, water, water...

5:10 They can talk for hours about how stable, spacious, and safe the catamaran is, but still the main attraction for me is THE TRAMPOLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4:40 You see, regular yoga is too slow for Norwegian climate. So this is the Northern version. 😀

2:57 Did you have to lock Niko outside to enjoy that tiny baggie? 😀

2:15 Oh my! Living in a place this old must be quite a nightmare. I hope they have sewage and heating. And remodelling must be "fun" - getting permission for every nail. And France's infamous bureaucracy makes it a special kind of hell. The view is amazing though. 🙂

0:49 I think you forgot to raise the main sail. 😀 No automatic furler, huh? 🙂

Hey! You're back! I thought you stopped posting. Glad to see you back!!!

Concarneau is a wonderful old citadel, with all its stonework and shops. It's the place to be when pirates are spotted out in the bay! Heading down the coast again, evading the squalls, I'm glad you have a buddy boat. Friendly dolphins coming along, too! Hard to get used to that heeling, I can imagine. Several nice horizon shots in this episode, and the closing scene is gorgeous.

YEA!!!!!! A new video! I was thinking maybe ELANE had been lost with all hands crossing the Bay of Biscay! What’s become blatantly obvious is that there was no actual “science” behind the lockdowns and that the lockdowns were ineffectual and a complete waste of time. THANK YOU for showing your family engaged in a prayer. You can occasionally tell that cruising families on You Tube are families of faith, but they rarely or never mention it - almost as if they’re afraid to be open about it. Frankly, I don’t understand how anyone could sail long upon the oceans without coming to faith. Psalm 19.

We now know what happens kids are in charge: goodies get liberated from confinement and promptly disappear from view... Okay, I do realize that this was a just a skit and the boys did a good job of managing the boat. I would say however that the "music/dance" selected was not in accordance with Europe's fine traditions. Sad to see you getting abused by the lockdowns, which were purely an exercise in tyranny. Thanks for continuing to share your adventure.

Cant wait for the next one! You guys are SO much fun!!! Love you!

19:53 JAYSUS!!!! He missed the railing by millimeters!!!!

19:32 YES!!! That's how Niko should LIVE! With a helmet on!!!!!

16:48 So what stopped you from having 3 or 4 of these saying you left at 17:45, 18:15, 18:45 etc. And then just flash it to the covid police depending on what time it is? 🙂

"Walking a pet" would be my excuse. Your children are ferral enough to qualify. 😀 An hour per "pet" - you have three hours of outside time.

THEY CLEANED!!!!!!!! Wonderful boys!!!

9:37 So having to postpone the cast-off to do a root canal didn't teach you anything, huh? 😀

GOD!!!! Eivind has the patience of a saint!!!!

8:40 No, that's not what we're thinking. 🙂 Personally, I'm thinking, what irresponsible children! Not sharing sweets with parents is mean. British moms are thinking, which boarding school do I send my kids to so they learn to make scones. French moms are thinking, poor boys need to invite girls to the party. Especially Espen, he's so cute, I vant to marry him when he grows up. Norwegian moms are thinking, this American woman will destroy our record of consuming 89 liters of alcohol per person if she doesn't start giving her kids vodka with their lasagna. Russian moms are thinking, OH MY GOD, those boys are not wearing socks or hats, they will catch a cold!!!!!!! And American moms are thinking, what dosage of Ritalin does she give them to make them use a vaccuum cleaner!?!?!??! So don't worry, everyone will think what they want. 🙂
