That grin at 10:40 just says it all...it may be raining outside, but it's sunny in the cockpit. Good to see you both aboard Moonshine once again. Cheers - Monique
Your videos are great and I really enjoy watching them over the time you release them. Have you ever considered sticking them together as a full length documentary after you have aired them on RUclips? I (and I’m sure many others) would really enjoy
Thanks so much and yes, we have talked about creating a feature length documentary about our travels on the coast and still figuring out ways to put that together. For now, once all episodes in a series are posted I usually make a PLAYLIST of that series so that the viewers could watch the series from start to finish with the playlist automatically playing the next episode until the playlist is done. :)
Can't wait for the rest of the series to come out. I didn't think selling Moonshine would have even been an option, even if you were up in Yellowknife for a few years. The boat is such a big star of your channel, (and from the sound of things, part of who you are as well.) Safe journeys where ever your adventures take you!
We are excited to share the rest of the journey with everyone and yes, selling Moonshine has never been something I want to do as she has a very special place in our lives. But I guess some people thought with the move north and brining the boat south that maybe that was the plan. With all that said, I have still looked at larger sailboats from time to time as most sailors do. haha
Happy to see you and Devlin back on Moonshine and to hear that you plan on going back to the coast. I’d love to have you both as neighbors here in Albuquerque, but alas Albuquerque isn’t a coastal city. Keep your videos coming.
We are so happy to be back on Moonshine and I can't imagine not being back on the coast after our time is done in the north. I'll have to look on the map to see if there are any intercostal waterways to connect you to the ocean! :)
I just commented on the trailer. I missed the trailer before and just watched this one. You guys definitely have the best channel on youtube with the best video production,,,,from editing to sound you got it all right! Ok, y'all be careful out there,,,,Craig from South Carolina
I just found your channel this morning. Watched a couple of videos including inside tour (excellent video tour - Jan. 2016, I think) and the January 2018 year end. Will watch all videos eventually. My wife and I are one hour north of Toronto and are retired. I am attempting to entice her into a boat life. Not surprized you are a 'Horseman' and I understand the 'debriefing' time. Good you take your kids away with you and are getting on with it. I have watched sailing videos and think 40+ feet is good for two. We had a 28 foot 5th wheel trailer and that can be 'close' on a rainy day. I love the fact you insulated the hull. Thanks for the editing info. AIS would be good but I respect the improvement costs and the space required for more batteries, generator, water-maker, more fuel and solar. Do not know if C&C has a skegged rudder but I lean that way. Love watching Canadians video their adventures as we need more 'esprit de corps'. Be safe and enjoy your cool Moonshine. Will watch more. Cheers.
So glad you found our channel and so great to hear that you have enjoyed some of the episodes already. The work life balances so important and I enjoy every moment away from work and with family for sure. :) It has been a fun journey with the career and with the sailing adventures and I hope you can get a boat if that is the direction you both decide to go. :) I hope you'll find more episodes to enjoy here on the channel and we'll be safe on the water for sure. :) Alfy & Devlin
good seeing the two of you back on the coast where you do belong . How is Moonshines bottom? Do you have someone clean it regularly? How do you keep it maintained while you were gone ? Looking forward to your next few videos
So great to be back on the coast and the boat held out well. Not much for maintenance while we were away, but will stick to annual haul outs, etc. Stay tuned! :)
That's great! Once you get the boat in Vancouver, I'm assuming it will easier for you to take a long weekend and get some sailing in while you're still working. Looking forward to watching your continued adventures. Safe travels!
Yes it will be much easier access to the boat once in Vancouver and we plan to get out sailing as much as possible. In the meantime, stay tuned for the rest of this journey south! :)
Welcome home to Moonshine! Good to be back? Am I seeing correctly, summer weather in Pt. Rupert includes rain and judging from you wearing heavy clothing, it is a cold rain? Enjoyed traveling along with you both during your vacation! Canada and Canadians are very special, friendly and more than able. I've learned so much about sailing since subscribing to your channel. Perhaps I'm now able to join you and become an addition to Moonshine's able crew! Good luck and keep 'em coming!!
So great to be back in Prince Rupert! It was a cold day for sure and fingers crossed for some warmer weather! Stay tuned for more to come! Alfy & Devlin
Alfy & Devlin, Here I go again, binge watching this series. It’s like crack (wouldn’t really know) for crackhead sailor (which I’ll admit, just might be my problem). I can see the big grin Alfy had at the Yellow Knife airport... He was trying to act like it’s: ‘it’s really no big deal.’ Don’t ever play poker for money! You have a huge flashing neon ‘Tel’, which is so obvious to everyone. You couldn’t wait to get back to Moonshine! Devlin should be jealous. I guess I would be too... but you still may need to reassure Devlin that she’s the center of your universe. Anyways, I really love your adventures. Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to both of you aboard Northern Dancer! Rand
Good to see you back at the boat,, i must admit that I haven't been watching the north of 60 videos, but I'm saying subscribed waiting for more Moonshine story's (boat videos that is). So I must say that the news about this video series is highly appreciated. But in the mean time I am working hard making boat fixing videos in my quest for my own sailboat and learning to..... Sorry bad choice of words trying to figure out how to sail by my self. So if. You miss your boat while beeing north of 60 feel free to check out my videos about boat struggles,,,, that should cure any longing for beeing on a boat ( or at least dampening it a bit) Good to see you both back on the water!
@@lifeislikesailing I appreciate that, and I'll be sure to check out your sailing videos. I enjoy them mostly because of the quality and the coastline you are sailing. I'm a true west coast Norwegian so my favourite climatic conditions 14 degree Celsius, nice breeze and some light rain.(i think that is the conditions in many of your videos).. Also the scenery and surroundings is really nice. And one more thing I'd like to give you credit for is that you never seem to try and make stuff sound bigger , more dramatic or in anyway adding on to make things more interesting. I admire these qualities very much. Best regards Jarle
Yeah! Seeing the tundra is interesting but the coast has ahold of my heartstring. I hope you don't mind if I watch your upcoming episodes, oh maybe 5 times each.
We have enjoyed seeing this new northern place so close to the arctic, but our hearts on on the BC coast for sure and we are excited to share this latest sailing adventure!
great to see you back; I too am a flight away from my boat and I understand the feeling when you get on board!.... what time of year is this happening, near real time or in the spring?
Not a great feeling to be so far away I realize now, but can be back on the boat with a quick 2 hour flight with the boat relocating to Vancouver at least. :) This is happening a month ago.
Great to see you on moonshine again Alfie! While you are returning to your boat, we are preparing to leave ours for hurricane season in the sea of Cortez, which is a sad feeling. I'll be as excited as you to return in September. BTW, this is Darrin and Linda, the coupe who stalked you out and had a great visit with you a few years ago in Vancouver! Www.sveione.com
Great to be back on Moonshine and sorry to hear you are having to leave your boat soon. I remember that visit well and so glad you both stopped by and even more happy to know that you have been off on great adventures! :)
i would love to live on her at 71 . sell her to me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pls . i live In Vancouver & You sir Could Sail Her Anytime you like.... i would love that !! and i love her us much as you.! and have money. to look after her well !HUG. think on it Alfy hug Thank you . I sure Enjoy her ! :)
Your smile is how I feel when I get on my boat. It has its problems, but not the world's problems.
That grin at 10:40 just says it all...it may be raining outside, but it's sunny in the cockpit. Good to see you both aboard Moonshine once again. Cheers - Monique
I remember that moment very well and being back on the boat is definitely my happy place! :)
It's great seeing you back on Moonshine again. Your grin is infectious!
So exciting to be back on the water and can't help but smile when we are sailing. :)
Greetings from Greece, you are so calm and you pass it to as, i admire you!
You big smile said it all Alfy. Looking forward to the next episode. Thanks and best from HKG
I think I didn't stop smiling for the entire day! ha Alfy & Devin from Prince Rupert

Very good to see you "at home" once again! Look forward to your sail south.

Good to see you two back on the water. Love anything to do with the bc coast. Love your videos by the way. Very entertaining.
So great to be back on the water and so great to hear you enjoy the channel! :)

Sorry dude, I stopped watching you when you went ashore. but now that you're back at sea. I'm in!
Hope you enjoy this series. :)
my heart raced a bit, seeing moonshine again.. I cant imagine how you felt when you saw her lines floating after your winter.
My heart raced a bit as well! ha It was an amazing feeling seeing her again!
Great team work! Looking forward to the voyage south.
We are excited to share the journey south and stay tuned!
i have for years and will continue
to stay tuned.
By the,

My daughter’s Jeep is named Moonshine
Enjoy the passage my friend
Great name! ha Thank you and stay tuned to see the journey south. :)
You are a big man, considering you can edit most things out.
I'm not sure I would have mentioned" I forgot the key."
LOL.
Enjoy Moonshine. Peace.
haha, yes that moment when I realized the key was back in Yellowknife was not a moment I want to have again. haha
Well the world can use more honesty. Tis why i love this channel
The lockpicking lawyer would have had you in, in under 60 seconds.
Yeah! Seeing the tundra is interesting but the coast has ahold of my heartstring.
I hope you don't mind if I watch your upcoming episodes, oh maybe 5 times each.
