      Scary good episode..... I saw in those areas parasites are very heavy another friend whose family got quite a few parasites their recommended to only eat fruits that are peeled versus fruit that could have been washed with ecoli or parasitic water. Good luck! I love animals and I would have done that for the dog as well.
      Keep an eye on the ringworm I had it once and needs a special cream.

    I'm a 70 year old diver who grew up on Jacques Couteau specials and I love watching your family experience your chosen lifestyle. When I was growing up nobody talked about mental health, we just "sucked it up." I'm so relieved to see younger people more willing to share struggles and advocate for seeking help. My heart breaks for you and the friend you lost. I hope that in sharing that part of this video somebody else realizes they can reach out. I'm looking forward to watching your family settle in to your new home. Best wishes.

    I can’t get enough of episodes like this. I enjoy the longer shots and the more time spent on each item, also the ups and and downs of real life. Who wants to watch perfect Instagramable stuff all the time-not me! More like this please. I know they must take longer to film and edit. But they somehow have more weight and staying power I think?

    Facing how this unique episode ended, I want to divide this comment in 2 parts.
    First I really need to commend you guys for this brave step back to the basics… every one looking to move on to bigger boats and you guys embraced the experience of going back to the roots!!! It’s wonderful seeing you proving that what really matters is the connection with Mother Nature and not the fancy perks of the latest sailing vessels.
    Keep these values and you will pass them on to your kids, helping them to become great people!
    Second, certainly is my share of condolences for the loss of this friend.
    I do know exactly how does this feels... it’s like our hearts shrank in pain, although I believe in a simple principal that can be said this way:
    “We belong to God, from Him we came and to Him we shall return”.
    If I can suggest; live the pain, feel the sorrow and always praise the good memories you shared with him.

    @DeanGroovy Год назад +7

    Seeing what looked like a mosquito larva in the drinking water gave me an idea for a suggestion: you all might consider adding a microscope to your gear. The benefits would be two-fold; education/entertainment for the boys and it would allow you to get a good look at water to see if there are pathogens or other health related stuff, considering you might be days away from laboratories on your travels. Mostly I think you'd find it interesting though. Be well!

And again, sorry for your loss😢

As an animal lover, thank you for doing what you could for him. I understand your concerns for your family, Elayna, and I'm so sorry for the loss of your mate, Riley. I appreciate the authenticity of you both and like Fraser, like these raw versions. While I don't know you, your goodness shines through in your videos.♥

    Having a significant loss, the best way to remember them is to talk about them with friends, family, and counselors if you chose to, write journals, and have pictures of them. The funeral home made a neckless from my daughter's fingerprint, and every time my grandchildren see her fingerprint, they say hello to her. Get a tattoo, all kinds of ways to celebrate them with love. Truly sorry to hear about your friend. The memories you're creating are helping a lot of people, as well as giving something for the boys to look back on as they get older.

And the worst part, is it is totally preventable. It's a complex topic for sure, but people's attitudes NEED to change ASAP. So much of the pain that makes the original traumas causing the so called 'mental illness' unbearable, is people's shitty reactions because they don't want to feel uncomfortable.

    Hey guys. I haven’t commented in a while. Work has been crazy, when I go to my boat I’m just fixing it. Had a couple weekends away that were good, I just loved the long film, the boys are just great and you both look really well and doing a marvellous job with the boys that I think is a hundred times more hard a job than having a family on land. Just wanted to say,” Riley the ending of the film touched me” I lost my eldest brother who had mental issues as long as I can remember. He died of eschemic heart disease. He was a troubled man, i my self suffered horrible mental ills in my thirties which in a positive way have served to change my life for the better but also served to hurt others at the time of my changing into the confident man I am today. I can say Riley I know how you are feeling and it’s very hard. When I think of my brother Troy, I only think of times when I saw him happy and when things seemed ok. For you poor friend leaving this world in that way is such a waste and knowing that what ever it was that was hurting him it could of been turned around. Mental I’ll health is as I feel a temporary paralysis and can be eased with love and talking and of course Proffessional help as I received. In my case CBT. The best learning experience of my whole life to date. My thoughts go out to you Riley, ,Helena and the boys.
    Keep up the great work all of you, your all ambassadors in the new world. 💙💚💛🧡❤️

    Sorry to hear about your mate. Thank you for being direct and honest. I find often times when this happens people beat around the bush and don't talk about it. Or, they simply just say something like a loved one has suddenly passed, and then have no further discussion. Please talk to someone. Find help. Bad times don't last forever.

    Isni't it amazing how we are constantly reminded about the delicate balance of life. Such a beautiful hour journey with your family tagged at the end of the sad news about your friend. Its sometimes hard to know how one is struggling but for sure, there is help if needed. Thanks for sharing all the news, good and not so. Sorry about your friend. And thanks, as always, for the sharing of the boys as they grow up in a world they are lucky to inhabit. And for both of you. Great mom and dad. Those boys are very lucky!

As someone who has dealt with this kind of loss in the past, I know there isn't much to be said. Thank you for your candor and your courage in showing your true feelings, and sharing the heartbreak. Maybe it will make a difference, even to just one person.

    Excellent film and editing. Today is the two-year anniversary of my Father's passing from COVID and he suffered from schizophrenia. Your journey and channel have been very inspirational while I transition from selling my 1971 Islander 30 and moving across the country, Hope to be sailing again soon for my 50th Birthday. Thank you for acknowledging mental illness as a real issue for the person and the people who take care of them. Sorry for your loss. Embrace Joy! Choose Happy!

    Sorry for the loss mate, I lost two friends this winter as well. Greif is a strange emotion. Your videos and life are honestly an anti depressant for me. It's a wonder that such a gift as life, can seem like such a burden. But it's real. Mental health is always a practice. Be kind to yourselves everyone and honest with those around you regarding how you feel. Much love

    I was thinking how different this Vlog was, and how exceptionally good it came out. The Contin the editing the flow was really really good. I’m going to take your advice. Having a rough time with the big D right now.
    Mental health is no joke. I lost my brother that way like you lost your mate. It’s really tough rough and very painful when you lose someone so dear that way.
    You guys are just so sincere and open and honest. Just lovely. Thanks guys.

    Another beautiful video!!! Love seeing the boys and how they are growing and learning. Really sweet seeing them going horseback riding. So sorry about the loss of your friend. Having dealt with depression my entire adult life I have been to that point of not wanting to be in this world anymore. It is something that needs to be talked about to increase mental health awareness and to help decrease the stigma of mental illness.

    So sorry for your loss. Its so difficult to fully understand the mindset that says " I'm done". Thirty years ago, that was me. Life seemed hopeless, never thought I'd laugh or even smile again. A miracle saved me the night I decided to end it all. Three decades later-happily married, two amazing sons, and a richness of life I never dreamed of. And yes, I get to enjoy amazing adventures because of people like you. The artistry in this episode was superb. Hope you find joy in the midst of your tears.

    Exceptional video. Take care of yourselves! Just remember the waves of grief may come often and feel so large, but as you pass through each one they become less often and smaller waves. You realize that each time you come out of the waves of grief you remember the sun is there shinning on you and people you love are supporting you. Keep taking care of yourself and each other. My Thoughts are with Mini’s family.
