Wow! Iko's recovery from the snakebite was remarkable. Your Vet is a star, not only for his knowledge but for allowing you to keep an emergency stock of anti venom. What a relief!! ❤
He is the best!! 💙 It’s not actually anti-venom (that stuff costs tens of thousands of dollars & thankfully is almost never necessary with the species of venomous snakes we have here), it’s just the standard anti-inflammatory medicine they’d treat a snake bite with at the vet’s (think souped-up benadryl) - but still suuuuper helpful to have on hand! 🙏 Made all the difference in how Iko felt & recovered. A relief indeed!! ❤️
🥺😭Iko!!❤
I am crying like a little baby! It is amazing how she bounced back🎉
Congratulations on the sailing lesson. I hope you i derstand because I have no idea what Brandon was talking about!😂😂 Have a great week guys!❤
Cool watching you learn how to sail. Poor Iko! Makes my heart hurt for her and you guys. So glad to see that sweet Iko hop!😊
We woke up this morning and our Pyrenese had been bit on the face by a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, our first time one of our girls have been bit, very scary. I hope our puppy wakes up tomorrow as happy as Iko.
So sorry Bear got snakebit! It's as bad as having your child get hurt or sick. My cat was bitten once, but thank God the snake wasn't venomous. He limped around for a few days, then perked right back up and was himself again. Iko's recovery really is amazing! I'm so glad ya'll were prepared and that your vet is willing to help over the phone. (Many are not!) On a whole other subject, I hope when ya'll do sail around the world, you'll share it with us via youtube. I love your channel! :)
Poor Bear. Our dog when I was little thought every copperhead was her toy. She was but several times.
Omg Iko!! I sobbed so hard. 😭😭😭 Almost hopped in my car and drove down through tropical storm Debby to make sure Iko is really ok!! 🧐😢 (I was so distraught the time delay of the video was not hitting me 😂😂) Lordy that was rough. Poor baby! Please replenish that kit ASAP!! That silly dog is going to sniff the next snake she sees, I just know it! 🤦🏻♀️ Glad you had the meds on hand and she’s doing better. 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Thank the vet for all of us Iko fans! ❤️❤️
Haha I listened to the song suggestion, cannot dislike music like that, very natural, thanks guys!
That’s what i’m sayin! There’s just no way to dislike a song like that! 🤙
Sarah your gonna rock at sailing in no time. I'm so ready for y'all's sailing series.💜My friend got bit!!! Stinky snake 😢😢😢 I'm so glad she is doing better 💜💜.
So glad to see Miss Bear came through it all okay. Thank you, Brandon, for the recap of your sailing. And yes, thank you, Sarah, for sharing the group and that song. Bliss! Have a great week!
That song was beautiful. Such a pure vibe!
So glad to see Iko back up and feeling better!!! Would love to have the recipe to that rice bowl looked absolutely amazing
My goodness, so happy things turned out okay with Ms. Bear! Brandon is such a Jack-of-all-trades! I guess you would need to be if you are on a boat in the middle of the water. Soon, you will be a Jill-of-all-trades! LOL. What an exciting adventure to work for. Hope y’all have a great weekend. See ya next week!
Just wanted to say thank you for introducing me to Elephant Revival! They are fantastic. So much so that we are going to their concert in Indianapolis. Very eclectic.
Aw love that!!! they are super super awesome. we would love to go to one of their shows! i’m sure that will be amazing!
Awww, Brandon with long hair is such a vibe!! ☺
right!? in his hippy era! ✌️
I love seeing you guys enjoy what you guys love ❤ teaching lessons are for a lifetime.. I’m excited to see you guys sail around the world!! We will be here for it.. ❤
This is just the beginning, can’t wait to continue sharing the journey! Thanks for joining us on it 💛
So scary! Glad Ms Iko Bear recovered so well...if only we could teach our pets in a language they understand to avoid such dangers...
Ah, Elephant Revival! They hailed from Nederland CO, not far as the crow flies from where I live. Love their music!
If I could bark at bear I would tell her STAY AWAY FROM DANGER NOODLES! 🙅🏼♀️ Lol & awe very cool about elephant revival! awesome group!!!
Sarah, you are going to be an amazing sailor one day-you’ve got two great teachers on hand so you got this girl! Brandon, way to show that sailing cred. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You two are really living life to the fullest.
5⭐️ on the song recommendation! Love it! Already sent it to my song buddies. ❤
Thank you!! 🥰 & so glad you enjoyed the song! 💛
Gone with the Wynns helped with my idea about sailing around the world. Happy to live
vicariously through them
A great channel!!
Good to hear Iko recovered so fast! 💜
I just love watching your videos every week! I admire your lifestyle on the lake. Someday I plan to visit the area and the lake. But really I would love to live on the lake! Like right now!
Most the time Im on the move when I ur videos, so I cant comment.I love y'all's free spirits and hard work ethic
Love your videos , the baby talk could be your inner child, I only experience this with babies and pets , so I'm like 😂😂😂😂, there it is ! Lol
That makes sense! 😆🥰
I'm very happy Iko recovered so quickly from her snake bite! It is so hard to see our fur babies in pain. Speaking of bite, I bit and went to check out "The Pasture" song. My only complaint is that it didn't last long enough! Good stuff! Wow, what HASN'T Brandon done? Goodness, I regret thinking I had to jump into the 9-5 rat race!
I always think the same thing 😆 - if only this song were at least twice as long!! & I always say the same thing about Brandon too. It’s like he’s squeezed 10 people’s lifetimes & experiences into his already! So inspiring. ❤️
@@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses You nailed it! ❤
Experiences verses existing only to feed a system rigged against us makes for a much more fulfilling and inspiring life.
So glad your baby is better!❤
I checked out the song & it's a toe tapper! 🦶 Irish jig vibes 🎻 😁👍
Glad that fluff ball of yours is OK!!! Love yalls weekly videos. Hello from Norris Lake another TVA operated waterway!!!
You kids are so much fun to watch, never comment but had to say congratulations on your upcoming wedding, hoping all your dreams become reality, you are a hard working couple with lots of heart, you deserve the best. Hugs from Ohio!
Thank you so much!! Very sweet. Appreciate you taking the time to leave this comment!!
With all the driftwood so handy, I would be looking at a rocket stove to cook on. I have 2 and they're great. The fuel is any scrap wood.
I'm glad Iko is better.
Thank God you had the Anti-venin on hand! Your Vet I'd phenomenal for allowing yall to take it home and administer it yourselves. That would have terrified me watching my dog get bit. Iko sure is one lucky lady and her recovery is absolutely amazing!
My first time to sail and participate in guiding the sales, we were in blue water and it was difficult for me . I feel I did well considering it was my first time
Great week!!!😊🎉❤ I'm so sorry about your pup, but very greatful for the speedy recovery!!!😊😅😂
Thanks for sharing 😊😊😊
Did you say Elephant Revival?? Because that one was really good!
Lol. Loved Brandon's Nat Geo commentary. Definitely in his natural habitat.
The song was amazing!!! Could you share your recipe for the tropical grain bowl?
I watch 4 accomplished world sailing couples, and envy all the beautiful places they have been from Iceland, Europe, Australia, the Atlantic, the Caribbean, and Central America. I have been to all but Iceland by Aircraft, but the people and scenery are so much better from the water. Our sailing skills never got past on lakes, but it is fun until you need skills to survive. Most all recommend signing on as crew for charter boats, race boats, or anyone else offering training for help before investing a ton of money in a boat. To pay for most of it, you need very good camera and editing skills. Maybe the best for video quality is "Sailing project Atticus". Jordan studied videography and production in college before signing on for Superyachts crews where he met his wife. With little money, they bought a cheap old boat and spent two years restoring it gaining needed skills to maintain a yacht as they require constant maintenance. They have a much better larger boat now and a daughter, with number 2 in the oven, and a mother in law for "crew"...
Glad she is doing so well. Iko is such a sweet baby What kind of snake was it?
Great video
Can you drop a link to the song that you referred to at the end? "The Pasture" by.....?? Thanks kindly and God bless you and your beloved family.
If yall spend any more time in the water, your going to grow webbed feet and gills.
It happened to Kevin Costner once.
That’s exactly what we’re going for! 😆
Sarah, I have to ask - "The Pasture" by whom? I found 3 versions - Music by Z. Randall Stroope, Music by Randall Thompson, Music by Elephant Revival. I prefer the last two, even though the 1st one was good.
elephant revival! 🙌
I had an Akita. Best dog I ever had. He lived to fourteen.
Amazing pups! That’s a wonderful long life for a big dog, fingers crossed Iko makes it to 14 too! ❤️
WoW OMG
Wow, Elephant Revival are great, thanks for turning me on to them, Sarah! Now I want to learn to play the washboard, lol. If you like blue grass/country music, I highly recommend Charles Wesley Godwin and The Allegheny High, they are awesome. Charles is my cousin (by marriage, he’s married to my cousin Samantha). Give them a listen, I think you will like them
Love your channel!
I had a Boykin spaniel that was bit by a venomous snake and didn’t make it…. We got her to the vet within 30 minutes and he started the antivenom on her…. He checked on her through the night but she didn’t make it…. The bite was on her leg and the vet said that it hit an artery and she wasn’t able to pull through….. so venomous snake bites on dogs can definitely be deadly…. I’m not trying to be negative… just sharing my personal experience.
Oh my goodness! 💔 that must have been absolutely heartbreaking, I can’t even imagine… I’ve never heard of a dog dying from a snakebite, I could see how a bite right in an artery could do that though- what a tragedy 😔 I’m so sorry that happened!
What brand is that 18 footer? I’ve got a bunch of sailboats, but don’t recognize that one. I’m guessing ODAY, but don’t see any brand markings.
It’s a Precision 18 (actually 17.5 ft). Went into production in 1984 and ended in 2019. Only 500 have been built!
@@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses thanks! I have a Slipper17 from 1987
can I wake-board behind a sailboat?
No
Do you guys follow the Sailing La vagabond? They sail around the world
Yesss we have been following them for years! One of our favorite channels to watch. A huge inspiration
What was the name of the song you recommended?
The Pasture. by Elephant Revival!
It's not you, Brandon sucks at teaching!😅❤
Brandon's big toe IS a big toe though..
