    Wow, you two!! Your few days at rough seas made me jump in my chair a lot!! Coming from a lot of boating. Keep up the positive attitude and know there are other boaters watching you. Hope you finish this journey safely and can buy that next bigger boat!

    I got my starlink recently. It is a game changer. I have no idea what the coverage is like in the area of the world you are in, but it will only continue to improve over the next few years

    I can see the passage of time through the growth of your children. I've been watching before Willa was born. The 2 are so comfortable roaming the boat. You 2 have grown into wonderful parents. Didn't Ben use to swear? Is that just for the video or is has he made the change because of kids? Happy holidays and safe travels! Blessings

    I went to St Marie, off Madagascar for a few weeks and it was fantastic. A pirate hideaway from yesteryear with lots and lots of history.

    Great video & reframing REALITY around a positive perspective without denying the negative aspects of LIFE!

    At 12:45 it was noticeable you had a minor panic moment when the baby got close to the edge of the deck. He found a non netted area. That is how quickly unanticipated accidents happen. Regardless of netting, when the kids are top side they should minimally wear a PFD.

    After all you’ve been through over the past year (or three), it’s so great to see the boat in good sailing condition, gas going on board (one way or another), healthy kids having a grand ol’ time and absolutely huge smiles with the look of sheer joy, excitement and eager anticipation on your faces for what’s to come!! Safe travels to your happy crew! ❤ Looking forward to your next adventures!!

    Dude the fishing is EPIC! I cruised there in 07 and every time I dropped a line I’d land a fish before I could drop another line…. Every single time!!

    I got similar vibes to the episode that y’all transferred propane (I think) from one tank to another. It’s awesome to see the resourceful side of boat life. Awesome update y’all! Thanks for sharing.

    Wow...amazing problem solving with the diesel. Nothings stops you guys. You guys have faced so many challenges in your journey that your thinking caps activates so fast that now you guys have become such experts in problem solving and find a solution instantly.

  • @californiakayaker
    @californiakayaker 2 года назад +2

    Wow, cool, I loved it when Delos was there. They went around the cape of Madasgar (Cap De Ambre) and down a little south to this Island (Nose Be) where they were spending most of the time they were there. I love the lemmings. Its a beautiful laid back place. Relax and enjoy.OH MY GOD that Ending was PRICELESS ! Do watch out for thieves. Lock the Dingy and Motor at night while at anchor. I wonder how hard it would be to find a little 12v fuel pump for the diesel ?

    I absolutely love you guys. My smile lines have only increased due to the new additions to the crew. After I stop doing free fiberglass restoration on the three boats I have here it will be flipping time. Hopefully I can flip a few in 23 and 24 to set sell on my own. Would love to share some doll Fin with you and your Family one day.

    When in Richards Bay please go to Zululand Yacht Club as soon as you can get out of Tuzi Gazi 🙏🏼 much more people and kid friendly. We have a friend, Oom Jannie (uncle yunny) there at the club - he does the haul outs. He is super friendly and helpful. Tell him “Hi from Craig and Shelley on ‘Sarah’” in Seychelles. 😊😊😊
