I am inclined to believe that you'll like the sunny Florida weather at this time of year. Now once every 10 years. Florida does get down to two days of freezing temperatures. Just to give you a heads up. Don't want you to have severe flashbacks that you're back up north.
Happy New Year y'all been under the weather for awhile and now I see three new videos HOORAY,!! Captain Ted, always am interested in your methods of fixing stuff, I've seen the Bio and you are not pretending to be an engineer, but by God you get it done,!
We took a little bit time off and fix the boat. We did both water systems and water maker is as well “almost ready”. We will show it when we test it in the clean salt water. I learned to play my ukulele better and read tons of books when we had our self made vacation. 😄 Ted is very innovative man and what he does not figure out himself, he reads in sailing books and then merges the ideas he reads with his new ideas together to make it even better:) He use to be super tech and operator with robotic camera systems in Showbiz. Thanks, Helena:)
Helen....the sling is very very very hard to spear fish with and takes forever to become any good with it. The guys with you have likely been using a sling since they were kids!......... i suggest you two use an actual spear gun so u don't have to hold the "compression" with your hand and can just trigger the spear with a finger. Much more accurate and fun experience. I'm so glad...I'm so glad...I'm glad.... I'm glad......I'm glad. (What a Song).....Glad that you are back with more videos......with more on the way ....and sailing Soon. So soon ...so soon ...so soon!......OM.
Thank You so much! We have both speargun and spear sling. Some countries don’t allow spearguns and you hunt with a sling. We will get good in both of these skills:) That would be the goal. I choose the sling because speargun felt even heavier and it was easier to use it around the rocks. Thanks for watching. :)
Happy New Year. Keep a close watch on the new RO unit. You will go through tank water quickly when for every glass you drink at least two goes overboard.
Hi Mark Presently we fill our tank with municipal water via a hose, on the sea we intend to fill er up with our new RO de salinization system (to be featured in an upcoming episode) or even rain water. Subsequently the bypass water that you are referring to is not so bad especially from the desalination system or rain water …so we don’t put the bypass water overboard, after all it’s gone through particle and two activated charcoals filters, we send it back to the tank! Perfectly good for washing etc.:)
Glad to hear you have the desalination unit coming on line. Makes my comment about waste moot. I would not return the bypass water to the tank it is contaminated with whatever you are trying to filter out, chemical or biological so returning bypass to the tank just increases the concentration of contaminants.@@SailingLiberty
I l enjoy you channel every episode. But watch out for that shelf. The upper screw on the bracket will be in tension unless the centre of gravity of the tanks on it is close to the back of the bracket. The static tensile force on the screw will be the weight of the tanks x the distance from the back of the bracket. This will increase if the boat is being thrown up and down by heavy seas Would some extra brackets help?
Your channel is so fun to watch and you both seem so genuine question yall work so hard at the marina is it yalls or do you manage it or you just extremely helpful with situations either way love your channel
We just want to help out David, because he is a great guy and as well he helped us out when our engine stopped working in front of their marina. He did not have to tow us in nor needed he give us a slip. But he has helped us ever since we had our misfortune. As well many people in the town have helped us and lended us a hand. We don’t manage it nor own the marina. We just want help when we can as well and give back to community and make the town better place. Head Vana Aasta Lõppu! Helena
@@SailingLiberty very commendable and it’s obvious your sincere and this day and time a very special couple hope 2024 brings you good luck and safe sailing
Fresh water available is a game changer for anyone wanting to spend time in far off places. I'm glad to see you found one you can afford and will meet your needs. Safe travels soon we hope.
Thanks! When we get our water maker installation finished, then we can produce 40 gallons water in an hour ourselves from seawater. We only need to have enough electricity:)
Thank You for liking my cooking first of all!:) I already purchased 12 colorful plates for the cookbook. Second set of white plates arrived broken and I haven’t reordered them yet. Have to do that before I start. I am looking now into how I can design book online recipe by recipe myself. So I can do it page by page on the go. There are of course companies like amazon who can help with the design but that would cost me coupe of thousands minimum and I cannot afford spending so much money on a book if the boat is not ready. And then I think I make it more like diary or bringing a bit of our life on the boat to the book as well. Have to think about how I photography the food... and how to set design them. The colors, the mood, materials and background. Food photography is very technically difficult and hard to get a perfect result. I use to photography sushi for my friend’s restaurant and it was one of the hardest things I have done. And of course I have to time the process of cooking and the amounts of food for the recipes and buy the produce. It will be a huge and costly undertaking. Maybe I get it done if I really work on the book and our channel does well to afford it, earliest before the Christmas this year to have 100 recipes with 2 pictures for each recipe. But with making shows as well and editing taking a lot of my creative energy... it is surely a great idea I hope I can deliver. Thanks, Helena
Happy New Year to you both now you have a water filtration system and friends who gave you spear fishing lessons 2024 will bring new opportunities to use both.
Happy new year guy's love your videos and your entire projects ! Nothing but the best in 2024. And full of sailings adventures soon. A viewer in Canada
You two are the most entertaining sailors, very limited drama and just matter-of-fact problem solving. Such a great channel with humor, very educational, and an awesome partnership between you two. Helen is beautiful, love her accent, but most of all her willingness to help in any way she can, such an amazing person. Ted, your chill nature at approaching the innumerable issues, plus your great explanation and analysis of each issue and how to solve them is super. Thank you, both, such a winning channel.
Ahoy! Thank You so much for such a nice comment! At the moment we have a pretty low drama and more like get-her-done workflow to sail away and go drink some rum in Mexico. 🇲🇽 😁Cheers, Helena
Yes, a rough introduction to spear fishing but she made the best of it. It definitely is the most reliable way to get fish once you get the hang of it. There's a guy named Plucky on RUclips that shows the best lessons on spear fishing....
I will check out Plucky. I want to get better. Waves were pushing me against the rocks. I was having hard time pushing myself off the rocks while tumbling around. I have to do some serious workout to get stronger core and upper arm muscles. We are doing 3-4 times playground exercises like 15 minutes but obviously it isn’t enough. Holding and constantly lifting the spear sling was getting tiring and I was pushing through it only because I use to be long time cross country skier and boxer in the past. Next time I will do it much better.
I’ll second that Plucky at Sailing into Freedom on RUclips shows good ideas on spear fishing. Using a plastic bottle full of sand for target practice is a great idea.
We have a water maker from seawater pro. It makes 40 gallons in an hour. We hope finish installation soon, it is almost ready. Then we will test it on our travels and show how it will go:) Thanks, Helena
We have actual speargun too, but it is a bit too heavy for me now especially in the choppy water. I started to do push-ups and some other exercises so I gonna be strong again soon.
We put dr. Berg Electrolyte powder in our water. Use to use Calm Magnesium powder until Clorox bought the company and ruined the formula. Was the best thing ever… Cheers, Helena
Don’t worry I bought a shark wristband to keep them away. 😁 Called sharkbanz… not sure it works. I would like to get Shark Shield in the future but you might get zapped yourself and it is not fun. Thanks,Helena:)

I've seen the Bio and you are not pretending to be an engineer, but by God you get it done,!
Ms Helen you are the badass and together you two are amazing 🇺🇸👍❤️

You're my Favorite couple and not just because of her looks but because you are the nicest people and always helping people !
You guys are upbeat and happy just the kind of folks I like to be around. Thanks for the videos and happy new year !
Well thank you for the Geekpure suggestion, we now have a reminder for your Channel, and yourselves! Loving your Channel too, S/V Far Niente
Love watching you guys. Real people doing the work to live their dream and it just so happens that one is a super model. Keep em coming. 😊
Great videos as always, You two show the good and bad of boat ownership, Helen is a Supermodel, absolutely beautiful
Ted, I’m impressed with your boat repair skills, but Helen’s cooking skills are over the top and now she can catch fish too!
Thanks a lot! Helen catching fish is still yet debatable ;) Cheers, Ted and Helen
Merry Christmas! You two are far too lucky
Thanks for the update. Happy New Year.
I may be 67dying of pancreatic cancer but I live every day thru you and your dreams and living another day longer thanks guy

Have you considered a watermaker, with a lesser but excellent filter system? Fun video, Thanks, Andrew
We have a water maker from seawater pro. It makes 40 gallons in an hour. We hope finish installation soon, it is almost ready. Then we will test it on our travels and show how it will go:) Thanks, Helena
Loved the video guys, I think Helen would have done better with an actual spear gun. But experience is experience.👍
We have actual speargun too, but it is a bit too heavy for me now especially in the choppy water. I started to do push-ups and some other exercises so I gonna be strong again soon.
More of Helen, please
Just bear in mind with a RO unit it removes all the essential elements aswell.
We put dr. Berg Electrolyte powder in our water. Use to use Calm Magnesium powder until Clorox bought the company and ruined the formula. Was the best thing ever… Cheers, Helena
So cool❤
Outstanding
Where do you find her kind?
Spear fishing can yield some enjoyable rewards but it sometimes draws in a shark or two !
Don’t worry I bought a shark wristband to keep them away. 😁 Called sharkbanz… not sure it works. I would like to get Shark Shield in the future but you might get zapped yourself and it is not fun. Thanks,Helena:)
I assume you could branch off of the primary filter for pre feeding salt water RO system.
We are building at the moment our desalination RO system and then the water system is complete.
@@SailingLiberty Very cool I was wondering if the Fresh water system prefilters and pump will be used for the RO desalination? I was considering doing a similar thing on my boat.
You know that intro song has been stuck in my mind for days. Where did you get it?
We purchased the rights for this song as our soundtrack in a private music library.
Good choice Capt.
She is so cute!
Beautiful woman. You are blessed. Enjoy
Work it baby

I like!

No wonder I’m not as good as Ted, I don’t think I have the patience to be a model photographer.
The way she looks at you....
Yeah it looks rough
Wow. That’s a lot of loads.🤔🙄

It's all about the Bikini !!
Awesome as always! ❤️
Such a stunningly beautiful woman.
