Who has been here since the beginning!? Make sure to check out Breaking Waves Sailing ! - ruclips.net/channel/UC0kKsAxDAM7erWSNUYDBw3Q And don't forget our buddy Simon! - ruclips.net/user/shelbyandsimon
Watched from the beginning. Glad to see an ending and not just a fade away. Best wishes for your future. Don't work too hard. No one ever said I wish I spent more time in the office.
Sooo true! Those are wise words. I am glad you enjoyed following along! And we are glad to finally have an end up for you all - we definitely didn't want to leave it hanging!
I have enjoyed your adventures. “It’s been an awesome ride!”. Thanks for sharing part of your life with us. You’ve been blessed in these 2 years, may the blessings continue through your lifetimes.
Thanks for the trip you took. Having done the same trip from Bellingham, WA, to La Paz, BCS, in 2000, I am aware of the rigors, the learning, the wonder of things you see. For my wife and I we think the best was the people we met, both cruisers and locals, many whho are still good friends. We marveled at the many different ways that dirt could be stacked in Baha. If I had a boat I would do it again. Anyway, hoope you both have a productive and fulfilling future. And many thsnks for allowing us into part of your past.
I fully agree - people make life full! We will forever cherish the friendhsips we have formed through this. Give me a few years and I may want to do it again too! haha. Thank you for your message and for following along :)
Thank you for taking us along for the ride. You are a very engaging couple. It’s been fun. Also thanks for closing the loop. I was wondering what happened to you. I would agree with you sailing is hard, rewarding but it can be hard. My sense is you have to be really good friends to survive in such a confined space for so long. Here’s a tip of the toque to you for not ending up on the six o’clock news with the final sound bite being “And then he/she turned the gun on her/him self”. I moved onto my sailboat shortly after you started your channel. Sailing out of Tsehum Harbour (Sidney) I’ve enjoyed some of the same waters where your adventure started. Someday maybe I’ll follow the rest of your track. Best of luck on your next adventure.
Thank you Don! Haha, yes we are very glad/blessed to have gone through it all and like each other even more - if you can believe it! Ohhh Sidney! That's a great place to be based out of. Fairwinds to you!
Just discovered your RUclips channel... good sailing channels are few and far between... to bad this was the last one. I hope you'll find time for another adventure to share in the future. Best regards from Jarle..... that took less than 3 months... going to miss this channel. Thanks for shearing.
Thanks for the great memories shared. Keep living life to the fullest each and every day! Life goes by quickly. You are good people. Stay well. Stay happy.Peace to you.
I loved the start of your adventures to pieces, yearned for every next bit to come out! Once you've moved out of BC i felt that episodes were becoming a bit contrived and less raw, but still quite enjoyable. You'll remain my favorite sailing channel dispite not "making it big on YT", because i adore the vivid personalities that you both are, you made routine and "boring" things shine in a very different light for me, like no other sailing channel did. So big ThankYou for all the good and the bad times you have shared! I hope you taking a big break from YT will do you nothing but good, because happiness and harmony is the most important things in life, i wish you find plenty of both!
I agree about their personalities. Other bigger RUclipsrs seem so bland in comparison. I will miss you both and wish you all the best for the future and really appreciated being able to watch your adventure from start to finish.
Thank you for this beautiful message! We are so glad that you appreciated us being real - we never wanted it to be any other way. so glad you enjoyed watching, all the best to you!
@@emilybh6255 Thank you - that means a lot! I am so glad we finally were able to tie up the videos, thank you for being patient and for following along :)
Appreciated scanning through all of them. Your closing 5 minute of advice was superb, I think. Have fun with the rest of your lives. Beautiful world. Beautiful people.
Oh no an end however I knew that time was coming it has been a year I think since your last post. Thank you for taking us along on your adventure i can see there is a lot to do when taking on a youtube channel plus you were embarking on an adventure. Selling your home closing a business and stepping away from another one all at the same time then an adventure on it's own of learning to sail and then living on the boat and then sailing south to Mexico that is a lot to take on. You two did it well and showed the up side and you have to admit the down side sometimes of this lifestyle. It not all, Bikinis Boobs Fair Sailing and unbridled enjoyable adventure. There is discomfort loneliness missing the family self doubt do we have enough food have I got to eat that. Look on the upside an adventure you saw Wales Dolphins met new people probably people you would never have met before. Got to learn to really rely on each other when all else fails you knew who you could turn to. Look at the stories you get to tell to your children and grandchildren. Loved you taking the time to allow us or at least me to ride along with you both and look over shoulder on this adventure of a lifetime. Now when Lyndon shaved the beard leaving the Mustache looked a porn star from the 70's. SO I know that we have Lyndon with @factorycustomfab will Tif have her own Instagram and what will the future bring for the two of you? Again a big thanks for letting us tag along I enjoyed your videos. Aloha
Haha, when you write it all down, it sounds crazy!! We are so glad you enjoyed following along - we were glad to have you peeking over our shoulders! We learned a lot and are so glad we just did it :) We're working now, saving some money, hoping to get a house in the next year or two and plan some other big trips - can't wait until we can travel again! also, I do have instagram! @tiffanywalde All the best Bill!
I have been along for the ride since the beginning. I really appreciated your videos. I started watching because we used to cruise the San Juan Islands and Canadian Gulf islands every summer for a week to a month. Our plan was to retire aboard a sailboat up there. But life took us in different directions. I wish you had told us what happened to Xanadu, what your future plans are, etc. Thanks for the hours of enjoyment.
Thank you for following us along! Oh man, I could spend lots more time up in the Gulf and San Juan Islands - so much we didn't see! Xanadu is sold and sailing with new owners in Mexico! I guess we should have said that in the vid!
I've been following for about the last year. I was wondering where you all went. Wish you all the best. You do what you need to do. I was hoping to hear Tiffany sing one more time. Wish you all the happiness in the world.
Tiffany and Linden, thanks for sharing the final reel! I followed from early on. Impressed that you jumped in with both feet! Defiantly stressful at times and I'm glad you did not hid everything. Some folks only show the good stuff. As a lifelong sailor ( but not long term cruiser) it's hard to watch people struggle with knowledge/skills when having got a little more experience ahead of time could have helped with the stresses. Glad you got to do this and it will hopefully make your future adventurers better. Sadly I see myself in your interactions and it reminds me to be more tolerant grateful for my wife and partner. Thanks for sharing, cheers Warren
Yes more knowledge and skill would have be very helpful! But, you do have to start somewhere - and we really do tend to jump in with two feet with most things. We appreciate you following along!
Thanks for sharing your adventures! You explored by sea at a time in life that allowed it. Before kids and careers made it impossible until retirement. Bravo! Perhaps in 30 years you’ll do it again. Best to you and again, thanks for sharing!
You are an inspiration. Love that you adventured forth, cast off your bow and stern lines from the safety of the dock and set your course for somewhere over the horizon. So many today are afraid to venture into new territory. You are not, were not, when you bought your boat and decided to do something different for a while. Great job. You are an inspiration. Take great satisfaction in what you have done. Congratulations. Now on to the next adventure. God speed.
Thank you for making these videos. Vancouver Island born and raised former long time California resident here. Never owned my own boat. Loved the scenery around Vancouver Island and Mexico. Now I know some of the pitfalls of sailing. Maybe Xanadu II (a catamaran) is somewhere in your distant future.
I have enjoyed your trip in Baha. My wife and I did the same thing in 2000-2003. We had a great time as well. We trucked our boat back to Belllingham, and went back to the "Normal" life. I still miss life on the water. And I miss the people we met, both sailors a d indigenous, the wildlife we saw, and the night watches under a clear sky. Congratulations to you for the adventure you wanted to try, and did!
Thank you for letting us share your adventures. From the first sail to the final sail you have been inspiring and just plain fun to watch as you both overcame the challenges that many would never dare to even take on. You will both go on to do amazing things.
So pleased to spent the time documenting your travels.I remember the first few outings,trying to catch some breeze,and then you untied the lines and set off.I enjoyed all your content,destinations,and activities 👍 Hey Tiff,your bread making rocks,I also remember the early tries,but I remember some of the sweets you baked as well. All the best with the new chapters of your lives to come🙂
Thank you Wayne! It is pretty crazy to think how far we have come - in sailing AND bread making. Glad to have you follow along - we appreciate your support!
I will be binge watching all your older videos. I wish you guys all the peace and happiness in the world x We all go through changes in life and chapters must come to an end while new ones open, that's the beauty of life.
Thanks for all the time spent making videos to take us along. Nice honest channel with the good and bad. Drop a short video to let us in on what the two of you are up to. Hope you both have a great life in years to come. When did Tiff get a goat ?!
Wow, great finale. Thanks for sharing your adventure. This final episode, with the look back, was a great, I couldn't help wondering and thinking about you guys and wondering what had happened.
After seeing your interview on Castanet, I started watching your videos. I ended up binge watching the whole series...lol Great stuff! I was thoroughly entertained. So real and so adventurous. Loved it! Thanks.
I have missed, and will continue to miss your channel! I got on board shortly after you started, and have watched each episode at least once. It was truly an inspiration to see 2 newbies tackle sailing with little to no background, as I also hope to do one day! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to make your channel such an education, and a joy to watch!!! I will remember you always, check back occasionally, and be forever in your debt! May the good Lord bless you in all your future endeavors!!!
I can’t believe this part of the journey is going to end. It’s been wonderful arm chair sailing along with you watching the growth between you. Sometimes stormy weather on the boat, but you sailed through those times. Great job. Pop back on with updates now and then. Fair winds. Dave
Thanks guys for all the videos, it was joy to watch every one of them. You two have good chemistry and great presence in front of the camera and by so would keep following you two without sailboat ;) thanks for the closure, god speed and all the best for ur future adventures!
We’ve watched all your episodes and have been missing you guys. You had a great channel and it was fun to watch real people “live the dream”. Hate that you are giving it up but we understand. We are just getting started, just brought to boat down to Georgia from Michigan and setting her up to be off grid. Take care Ian’s have fun in your next adventure! YOLO (you only live once)!
We had plans to sail out this summer but are putting it off till next summer (because of the virus thing) we hope to be sailing for at least 5 years, but who knows how it turns out. Maybe after 6 month we will be fed up or end up never returning to home port. This is part of the thrill pf the adventure.
Yeah, we've had lots of friends stuck around the world from Covid. Wouldn't be a great time to cast off, I don't think. But hopefully you guys can get out soon! All the best on your travels!!
G’day, I just happened to come across this video and absolutely enjoyed it. I wish I could’ve found your channel from the start. I definitely would’ve donated through Patreon and I reckon I could’ve also donated a lot of boat components, parts, etc....I have a shop and build a lot of custom boats, in Western OZ! I definitely went back and binge watched your entire journey and/or channel and it was bloody brilliant mate. Good on ya both! I hope your time away from sailing is truly rewarding and I wish you both, the absolute best. Cheers mate from Margaret River, Western Australia!!!
And yes I have been there since the beginning. But was not able to support you with Patreon.But I did have a chance to work on a boat in Australia for a two-week period. That was a real eye-opener with all of the Video Production needs that were always having to be set up.
Hey Dennis! Thank you for your message! Haha, glad you enjoyed the "realness" that is us :) Haha, you do really have to like each other to be able to be together 24/7 - we have had a few years under our belt to see if we could hack it ;) You worked on a boat in Australia doing filming? Very exciting!
@@WaldeSailing Yes I was involved with the Project Brupeg. ruclips.net/video/5DadsdnD108/видео.html The episodes I was involved with. I was there to do repairs on Diesel engine and Generators. I'm the Big Guy on the Left. I was hoping that you folks had decided to have Little Munchkins? They can be a lot of fun to, But Not Cheap.
Thank you for the closure. We started watching pretty soon after you bought Xanadu - as soon as I noticed she was no longer listed, since I'd been watching the want ads. It's been fun; good luck in the future. Please keep the channel up - I'd like to revisit it all, since I might get ideas for when we are cruising our Niagara 35 down the St. Lawrence and to the Maritimes!
This is a first for me. I've never watched your channel, but I've watched a number of other sailing channels and I've never seen a channel declare itself complete. I've owned a few sailboats and I'm trying to kickstart myself back into sailing but I have a roadblock and I use the sailing channels to tide myself through. I did enjoy this episode and I probably would have watched if I ran into it sooner. Best of luck in wherever your life's journey takes you in the future.
You two had a great adventure and inspired us to start ours too. Thank you. We’re from the Seattle area, but just bought our own catamaran that’s currently on the hard in Guaymas, in the yard where you hauled out of :-). We’re here for another week working on her and then heading back up. Then in another month or so, we’ll come back and splash her and move her to San Carlos, just north of Guaymas. Then our own adventure starts :-). Best of luck to you and thank you for the inspirations!
As one of those who were in from the start...it is a great thing you did to bring it to the conclusion with a so-long....some of the channels I used to enjoy just ceased and it is just guesses as to what happened.
It would have been really easy to just not post anything, but we really wanted to bring it to a close. We hadn't seen any other channel do it and thought it would be a great perspective!
From Suzie and myself board S.V. Snow Maiden. You guys will be missed both each and everyone of us who are still out on the wide ocean enduring fair winds. But when the time comes and we must all drop the pick for that one last time and head to the beach we know it was the right time. What ever your plans are for the future may they be as fruitful as your sailing adventures. With a sorrowful farewell from S.V. Snow Maiden. As per norm Snow Maiden is on listening watch.
I started watching because of the personalities and that you are just real people...Shame to see you guys go!! But thanks for the laughs, the entertainment, the story and most of all thanks for sharing!! Best of wishes for your futures :)
Enjoyed it from the beginning. Take care. I see long hair is back and a beard too! Should update once a year. Thanks for closing it out though. God speed!
Loved watching you guys and we were bummed you moved back home right around the time we finally got our boat! But we are in the PNW (Campbell River) if you ever make it back out this way and need a boat to hang out on for a bit! haha
Yeah, it would have been great to have met you guys! You should post up a link to your sailing page here. Also, you guys should connect with Breaking Waves Sailing, or Finding Simon on youtube. And on insta @fromsnowtosail, @teamswinden, and @cpatainkyle
I'm late to the party. I just started watching about 5 days ago and have binged until Ep. 105... will finish tomorrow. I was SOOOOO disappointed when I saw back about 20 episodes ago that you were hanging up your oars. I wish I had been watching while you were doing it so I could have contributed support. Your channel was recommended to me by a friend and I knew I was going to like you guys 2 minutes into the first episode. I haven't read all of the comments, but tried to find an answer to what you are going to do now and found none. So I know this is a really personal question and if you wanted us to know you probably would have told us, but can you share what your future plans are? Are you back to running the Factory? Are you back in Canada? How are you handling your first winter back up there now that you've tasted the warmth of California and Mexico? You were one of my favorite sailing channels. Understandable but so sad you are no longer sailing. After sharing the last 2 years with you, it's obvious you will succeed at WHATEVER you do. God bless. So happy to have shared your adventure.
Thanks Tyler. We are back in Canada. I do still run Factory part time. Nothing crazy planned for the future. Coming back was pretty hard. Winters are tough. We often bounce ideas to each other about how we could move somewhere warmer. Thanks so much for the kind words and glad you are enjoying the episodes!
Just popped in to tell you I saw a guy in our sail fleet wearing one of your t-shirts and had a moment with him "I know who they are!" Hope the two of you are well. If you are ever down in Puget Sound btwn March-late September, hit up the Oak Harbor YC sail fleet on Thursday night for some keel boat racing. 😉 I know at least two boats who would love to have you aboard.
I have watch for a while and thank you for sharing all you did. Good luck in your future. Can I ask you to up date whats going on in your life every few months. You have friends all over the world that would like to see how you are doing. Again Good luck, God Bless.
It is so good to have a conclusion for the channel. Best advice "just do it" Life is so fragile, live each day as if it is your last but make plans for the future. I did not read all 271 comments, what are your plans for the future? It has been a great run.
Hi. I was from the beginnining there to. Used to live on Vancouver Island and prepare for the past 4 years mysailboat, to sail from spain to Vancouver. Blastet Corona killed my start. I should be able to cast my lines in 4 weeks. My joyrney beginns, your ends. Changes are upon us all with what the Governments try to oush down on us. I still believe, a sailboat is the best place to be. I wish you all the best for your future
I really enjoyed the Banter, Sarcasm, Gitty personality of Tiffany, and the Straight Man (Lyndon ) Working through their Blossoming Relationship.Must've given yourselves years of working things out or else, being so confined.You guys are really special, and hope and pray your relationship will just get better and better through the years. All the Best from Surrey BC
Congrats and good luck.. At least you guys got out there and did while you were still young and healthy to enjoy it, so you can move on and no regrets because at least you had the courage and gumption to follow your dreams and try it out. I think it’s much harder in general to start cruising from the west coast and requires a lot more commitment and effort, whereas just about any joker can practically just float from FL to the Bahamas, and there is much shorter sailing and more infrastructure and support for cruisers in the Caribbean. It’s quite common that by the time people get down to Mexico and spend a season then they either swallow the anchor down there, become commuter cruisers, or realize it’s not for them and move on. It’s also much harder and requires more commitment to continue beyond Mexico because then you either have a Pacific Puddle Jump and coconut milk run across the South Pacific, or the canal and the upwind slog in the Caribbean, or heading even further south where central and South America can be even more sketchy and even less infrastructure and support for cruisers. Good luck in your next adventure and thanks for sharing your experiences. It has been most instructive. Are you going to try and sell it down there, or are you going to do a Baja Bash to get it back north to sell it up here?
Loved watching the last 7 or so episodes and glad I didnt miss your last one. BLUE WHALES OMPlanet so awesome .. I have to go back and start from the beginning. Best of luck and thanks for the fun and joy and sharing with us.
Thanks for having us along on your journey. It's been fun. Sad it's come an end and we have to go our separate ways. Maybe you'll post a video in a year or so to tell us what you're up to.
Who has been here since the beginning!?

Been watching from the start, sad to see you go, good luck with your next adventures
Maybe not from the start, but really enjoyed a number of your videos. Good luck in you next life! Thanks for sharing.
Think I was pretty close to the beginning, not sure 🤔
Walde Sailing Thanks guys! and good job. come visit us next spring/summer on Kiana :)
Watched them all!
Miss you guys. Thank you for the closure. God speed.
Thank you Richard! We'll miss you all too!
Love your channel and hope you guys upload something once in awhile....thanks for letting us follow along:)
I'm glad you finished it out. You gave it a shot and found out it wasn't for you. Nothing wrong there. Good luck in the future.
Thanks for watching! No regrets at all and it defintely didn't dissapoint!
As of 2024 hopefully you guys are ok, a update would be nice.
You guys win the ‘best sailing hats’ award! I have enjoyed all your videos. Thanks so much for all the effort you put into them.
hahaha, yes!!!! Thanks Dave, so glad you enjoyed them!
Thank you both, I've thoroughly enjoyed your sailing adventure. One of the very best sailing channels on YT. Best wishes for any future adventures.
Thank you for posting, I’ve missed y’all. Hope y’all are well. I enjoyed watching and being able to see a small piece of the boat life. Thank you.
Thank you for following along! We've missed you all too!
Thanks for the closure. I watched every week. I hope your next adventure Rocks! Good Luck.
Wow, thank you for watching! We hope the next one does too! Thank you
So glad that you got a chance to put this last video up. I was worried about you two. Great last video. Be well.
Thanks for being patient and for following along!
Thank you for allowing us be part of your adventure. You achieved more than most of us.
You should be very proud of your accomplishments.
Good bye
Watched from the beginning. Glad to see an ending and not just a fade away. Best wishes for your future. Don't work too hard. No one ever said I wish I spent more time in the office.
Sooo true! Those are wise words. I am glad you enjoyed following along! And we are glad to finally have an end up for you all - we definitely didn't want to leave it hanging!
Great video guys, thanks for getting it out there and best of luck with whatever comes next.
You're most welcome amd thank you!

So many today are afraid to venture into new territory. You are not, were not, when you bought your boat and decided to do something different for a while. Great job. You are an inspiration. Take great satisfaction in what you have done. Congratulations. Now on to the next adventure. God speed.
Loved your videos! Sorry to see you go, but I understand. Good luck on your future life endeavors.
Thanks Kenny! We appreciate your support!
Sorry to see you go. I’ve enjoyed your journey. Good luck and best wishes for the future.
Thank you for making these videos. Vancouver Island born and raised former long time California resident here. Never owned my own boat. Loved the scenery around Vancouver Island and Mexico. Now I know some of the pitfalls of sailing. Maybe Xanadu II (a catamaran) is somewhere in your distant future.
oooo, that would be amazing! No plans for that but who know :) So glad you enjoyed our videos! Thank you for your support Shephanie!
I have enjoyed your trip in Baha. My wife and I did the same thing in 2000-2003. We had a great time as well. We trucked our boat back to Belllingham, and went back to the "Normal" life. I still miss life on the water. And I miss the people we met, both sailors a d indigenous, the wildlife we saw, and the night watches under a clear sky. Congratulations to you for the adventure you wanted to try, and did!
Beautifully said!
Thank you for letting us share your adventures. From the first sail to the final sail you have been inspiring and just plain fun to watch as you both overcame the challenges that many would never dare to even take on. You will both go on to do amazing things.
That is so sweet Lou, thank you! We are so glad to have had you along for it all! Thank you for your support.
Thanks for all the smiles..........from Bill on Moody Blues, Tsehum Harbor
Thanks for following along Bill!
So pleased to spent the time documenting your travels.I remember the first few outings,trying to catch some breeze,and then you untied the lines and set off.I enjoyed all your content,destinations,and activities 👍
Hey Tiff,your bread making rocks,I also remember the early tries,but I remember some of the sweets you baked as well.
All the best with the new chapters of your lives to come🙂
Thank you Wayne! It is pretty crazy to think how far we have come - in sailing AND bread making. Glad to have you follow along - we appreciate your support!
What A beautiful Journey. Thanks for sharing with us. We wish you both the best. Be happy and have fun. Stay Safe

Thank you. We appreciate your support!
Very nice ending...love you guys and love your absolute honesty!!!!!
Thank you Mike, we appreciate that!
I will be binge watching all your older videos. I wish you guys all the peace and happiness in the world x
We all go through changes in life and chapters must come to an end while new ones open, that's the beauty of life.
Thanks for all the time spent making videos to take us along. Nice honest channel with the good and bad. Drop a short video to let us in on what the two of you are up to. Hope you both have a great life in years to come. When did Tiff get a goat ?!
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed following along. And nope, I didn't get a goat!
Wow, great finale. Thanks for sharing your adventure. This final episode, with the look back, was a great, I couldn't help wondering and thinking about you guys and wondering what had happened.
After seeing your interview on Castanet, I started watching your videos. I ended up binge watching the whole series...lol Great stuff! I was thoroughly entertained. So real and so adventurous. Loved it! Thanks.
Thanks for tuning in and glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for taking us along on your adventures and sharing your dreams and fears. Good luck on your next chapter. Well miss you.
Thank you Yves! We appreicate your support :)
Cheers from White Rock, BC....thanks for sharing your adventures...especially now in 2020...thx.
Thanks for all the effort and the stories you have shared! Be safe and live life to the fullest! Hugs from Norway!
Thanks for watching Roger!!
I have missed, and will continue to miss your channel! I got on board shortly after you started, and have watched each episode at least once. It was truly an inspiration to see 2 newbies tackle sailing with little to no background, as I also hope to do one day! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to make your channel such an education, and a joy to watch!!! I will remember you always, check back occasionally, and be forever in your debt! May the good Lord bless you in all your future endeavors!!!
Aww thanks so much! All the best to you as well!
I can’t believe this part of the journey is going to end.
It’s been wonderful arm chair sailing along with you watching the growth between you.
Sometimes stormy weather on the boat, but you sailed through those times. Great job.
Pop back on with updates now and then. Fair winds. Dave
Thank you both for the adventure! It has been an awesome ride. Farewell! I wish you both the best......
Thanks Chris! So glad you enjoyed following us and thank you for your support!
Thanks guys for all the videos, it was joy to watch every one of them. You two have good chemistry and great presence in front of the camera and by so would keep following you two without sailboat ;) thanks for the closure, god speed and all the best for ur future adventures!
Thank you so much Petteri! That's very kind. Thank you for following along!
We’ve watched all your episodes and have been missing you guys. You had a great channel and it was fun to watch real people “live the dream”. Hate that you are giving it up but we understand.
We are just getting started, just brought to boat down to Georgia from Michigan and setting her up to be off grid.
Take care Ian’s have fun in your next adventure! YOLO (you only live once)!
Wow, how exciting! Thank you for following us - we appreciate the support! All the best to your guys in your adventure!
We had plans to sail out this summer but are putting it off till next summer (because of the virus thing) we hope to be sailing for at least 5 years, but who knows how it turns out. Maybe after 6 month we will be fed up or end up never returning to home port. This is part of the thrill pf the adventure.
Yeah, we've had lots of friends stuck around the world from Covid. Wouldn't be a great time to cast off, I don't think. But hopefully you guys can get out soon! All the best on your travels!!
Enjoyed your channel, thanks for sharing your adventure. All the best.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Thanks for the ride Waldes , enjoyed following you from almost episode number 1! All the best in your life together !
Thanks so much for your faithful support!
It was great to see your sailing journey from the beginning to the end. Wishing you all the best.
Thanks so much!
Anyone else crying watching? Thank you for your videos and inspiration 😢😘
Glad you have enjoyed the videos!
G’day, I just happened to come across this video and absolutely enjoyed it. I wish I could’ve found your channel from the start. I definitely would’ve donated through Patreon and I reckon I could’ve also donated a lot of boat components, parts, etc....I have a shop and build a lot of custom boats, in Western OZ! I definitely went back and binge watched your entire journey and/or channel and it was bloody brilliant mate. Good on ya both! I hope your time away from sailing is truly rewarding and I wish you both, the absolute best. Cheers mate from Margaret River, Western Australia!!!
Thanks so much! Lots of small channels out there who would love some Patron help! Glad you enjoyed the videos and thanks for the encouraging words!
Whatever comes next guys, good luck. Been a great ride for us too. Cheers!
Thank you Ian! Glad to have you along :)
And yes I have been there since the beginning. But was not able to support you with Patreon.But I did have a chance to work on a boat in Australia for a two-week period. That was a real eye-opener with all of the Video Production needs that were always having to be set up.
Hey Dennis! Thank you for your message! Haha, glad you enjoyed the "realness" that is us :) Haha, you do really have to like each other to be able to be together 24/7 - we have had a few years under our belt to see if we could hack it ;) You worked on a boat in Australia doing filming? Very exciting!
@@WaldeSailing Yes I was involved with the Project Brupeg. ruclips.net/video/5DadsdnD108/видео.html
The episodes I was involved with. I was there to do repairs on Diesel engine and Generators. I'm the Big Guy on the Left.
I was hoping that you folks had decided to have Little Munchkins? They can be a lot of fun to, But Not Cheap.
Thank you for the closure. We started watching pretty soon after you bought Xanadu - as soon as I noticed she was no longer listed, since I'd been watching the want ads. It's been fun; good luck in the future. Please keep the channel up - I'd like to revisit it all, since I might get ideas for when we are cruising our Niagara 35 down the St. Lawrence and to the Maritimes!
Thanks for following along guys! Yes, Xanadu is off on adventures with another couple!
This is a first for me. I've never watched your channel, but I've watched a number of other sailing channels and I've never seen a channel declare itself complete. I've owned a few sailboats and I'm trying to kickstart myself back into sailing but I have a roadblock and I use the sailing channels to tide myself through. I did enjoy this episode and I probably would have watched if I ran into it sooner. Best of luck in wherever your life's journey takes you in the future.
Well thanks for coming aboard for our final episode! All the best as you get back into sailing!
Thanks for all the great videos.
I always thought Tiffany would push him off the boat and keep going.
Glad you made it.
Nah, we are together, forever. Thanks for watching!
Awww...I'm gonna miss you two, thanks for taking me along, it was a fun ride! Steady on mateys...
Thanks for following along Mark!
You two had a great adventure and inspired us to start ours too. Thank you. We’re from the Seattle area, but just bought our own catamaran that’s currently on the hard in Guaymas, in the yard where you hauled out of :-). We’re here for another week working on her and then heading back up. Then in another month or so, we’ll come back and splash her and move her to San Carlos, just north of Guaymas. Then our own adventure starts :-). Best of luck to you and thank you for the inspirations!
Thanks for watching guys! All the best on your adventure!
@@WaldeSailing Thank you!!
All the best to both of you.. Life is about experiencing different things. Keep well , keep safe.
Thanks Joe!
As one of those who were in from the start...it is a great thing you did to bring it to the conclusion with a so-long....some of the channels I used to enjoy just ceased and it is just guesses as to what happened.
It would have been really easy to just not post anything, but we really wanted to bring it to a close. We hadn't seen any other channel do it and thought it would be a great perspective!
From Suzie and myself board S.V. Snow Maiden. You guys will be missed both each and everyone of us who are still out on the wide ocean enduring fair winds. But when the time comes and we must all drop the pick for that one last time and head to the beach we know it was the right time. What ever your plans are for the future may they be as fruitful as your sailing adventures. With a sorrowful farewell from S.V. Snow Maiden. As per norm Snow Maiden is on listening watch.
Will miss you both? Loved your channel, all the best.
Thanks for the follow up video. After acheiving so much on the water, I'm sure you are all the wiser for future adventures.
Thanks for watching guys!
I started watching because of the personalities and that you are just real people...Shame to see you guys go!! But thanks for the laughs, the entertainment, the story and most of all thanks for sharing!! Best of wishes for your futures :)
Thank you so much! So glad we could provide some laughs. We are so gratfeul for your support!
.. thanks muchly ... 💜 luv n light blessings ✝️💜 ...
Enjoyed it from the beginning. Take care. I see long hair is back and a beard too! Should update once a year.
Thanks for closing it out though.
God speed!
Loved watching you guys and we were bummed you moved back home right around the time we finally got our boat! But we are in the PNW (Campbell River) if you ever make it back out this way and need a boat to hang out on for a bit! haha
Yeah, it would have been great to have met you guys! You should post up a link to your sailing page here. Also, you guys should connect with Breaking Waves Sailing, or Finding Simon on youtube. And on insta @fromsnowtosail, @teamswinden, and @cpatainkyle
Here from the beginning. Keep up your singing and sailing in the future.
I'm late to the party. I just started watching about 5 days ago and have binged until Ep. 105... will finish tomorrow. I was SOOOOO disappointed when I saw back about 20 episodes ago that you were hanging up your oars. I wish I had been watching while you were doing it so I could have contributed support. Your channel was recommended to me by a friend and I knew I was going to like you guys 2 minutes into the first episode. I haven't read all of the comments, but tried to find an answer to what you are going to do now and found none. So I know this is a really personal question and if you wanted us to know you probably would have told us, but can you share what your future plans are? Are you back to running the Factory? Are you back in Canada? How are you handling your first winter back up there now that you've tasted the warmth of California and Mexico? You were one of my favorite sailing channels. Understandable but so sad you are no longer sailing. After sharing the last 2 years with you, it's obvious you will succeed at WHATEVER you do. God bless. So happy to have shared your adventure.
Thanks Tyler. We are back in Canada. I do still run Factory part time. Nothing crazy planned for the future. Coming back was pretty hard. Winters are tough. We often bounce ideas to each other about how we could move somewhere warmer. Thanks so much for the kind words and glad you are enjoying the episodes!
You will be missed. I enjoyed the ride. All the best for ur future adventures. Love n best wishes from Australia!!!! 🌹🌹🍷🍷🍷🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks Scott! We really appreciate you following along. We hope to one day visit Australia! We are SO looking forward to being able to travel again!
Just popped in to tell you I saw a guy in our sail fleet wearing one of your t-shirts and had a moment with him "I know who they are!"
Hope the two of you are well. If you are ever down in Puget Sound btwn March-late September, hit up the Oak Harbor YC sail fleet on Thursday night for some keel boat racing. 😉 I know at least two boats who would love to have you aboard.
... and really enjoyed your vids, good luck for the future :)
Thanks Charles!
I have watch for a while and thank you for sharing all you did. Good luck in your future. Can I ask you to up date whats going on in your life every few months. You have friends all over the world that would like to see how you are doing. Again Good luck, God Bless.
Aww man ! I’m going to miss this Chanel. Good luck you two in your new adventures! 😀
haha, awe! We are glad to have had you follow along - thank you!
Just found you guys on here, you are fantastic. I've jumped back to episode 1, on 14 now and loving it
Thank you 👍
Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy them all!
Thank you for hours of entertainment and inspiration.
You're welcome - haha! Thank you for following along!
I watched every ep while working from home. Thank you so much for sharing. I dream of sailing away too.
Hey Frank, thanks for watching!
I've just followed yall for 2 episodes, and now you're off the boat!!!? Love your videos and thanks for taking me along.
haha, Well all the videos are still there just waiting for you to watch! Thanks for the support, glad you are enjoying watching :)
I have been here since the beginning. Love this couple. We like ghosts, coming back time to time because we miss them :) I hope all is well.
yes you have! Thanks for all the support!
It is so good to have a conclusion for the channel. Best advice "just do it" Life is so fragile, live each day as if it is your last but make plans for the future. I did not read all 271 comments, what are your plans for the future? It has been a great run.
Just living life right now!
Hi Guys,
What a coincidence i was thinking about you guys yesterday.
Thanks for some closureTake care and good luck.
Thanks for thinking of us!
Hi. I was from the beginnining there to. Used to live on Vancouver Island and prepare for the past 4 years mysailboat, to sail from spain to Vancouver. Blastet Corona killed my start. I should be able to cast my lines in 4 weeks. My joyrney beginns, your ends. Changes are upon us all with what the Governments try to oush down on us. I still believe, a sailboat is the best place to be. I wish you all the best for your future
I really enjoyed the Banter, Sarcasm, Gitty personality of Tiffany, and the Straight Man (Lyndon ) Working through their Blossoming Relationship.Must've given yourselves years of working things out or else, being so confined.You guys are really special, and hope and pray your relationship will just get better and better through the years. All the Best from Surrey BC
I don't know how blossoming it is after ten years. I am just lucky Tiff still thinks I'm cute!
Thanks for the Adventure!!!
Cheers,
Bugs
Thanks for following along!
Congrats and good luck.. At least you guys got out there and did while you were still young and healthy to enjoy it, so you can move on and no regrets because at least you had the courage and gumption to follow your dreams and try it out. I think it’s much harder in general to start cruising from the west coast and requires a lot more commitment and effort, whereas just about any joker can practically just float from FL to the Bahamas, and there is much shorter sailing and more infrastructure and support for cruisers in the Caribbean. It’s quite common that by the time people get down to Mexico and spend a season then they either swallow the anchor down there, become commuter cruisers, or realize it’s not for them and move on. It’s also much harder and requires more commitment to continue beyond Mexico because then you either have a Pacific Puddle Jump and coconut milk run across the South Pacific, or the canal and the upwind slog in the Caribbean, or heading even further south where central and South America can be even more sketchy and even less infrastructure and support for cruisers. Good luck in your next adventure and thanks for sharing your experiences. It has been most instructive. Are you going to try and sell it down there, or are you going to do a Baja Bash to get it back north to sell it up here?
Xanadu was sold in Mexico and is now adventuring with a different couple!
Loved watching the last 7 or so episodes and glad I didnt miss your last one. BLUE WHALES OMPlanet so awesome .. I have to go back and start from the beginning. Best of luck and thanks for the fun and joy and sharing with us.
Thanks for watching Bill! It was a wonderful experience seeing blue whales! Please continue to enjoy all the episodes. All the best to you!
thanks for the journey! best of luck.
I agree a follow-up on life after would be great.
Awesome last ep you guys! Glad you are enjoying land life again.
Thanks for having us along on your journey. It's been fun. Sad it's come an end and we have to go our separate ways. Maybe you'll post a video in a year or so to tell us what you're up to.
Thanks for tuning in David!
Very cool people
Best wishes
Thanks John!
Congratulations on your conclusion...all the best for your future adventures, best regards from David, captain of Fortune, Maple bay :)
Hmmm I don't remember Fortune.. Was it the hunter?
@@WaldeSailing it is the classic wooden yacht,headed for nz
Ahhh yes!! How's everything going? Getting the boat all tuned up?
