Kiitos Sinulle Lauren♡ Veneen huollot ja korjaukset vaativat kärsivällisyyttä ja rahaa! Sait majoituksen , jonka oven avattuasi näit oman veneesi. Potkuriakselin tiivisteiden huolto, kölin juuren vuodon korjaus. Potkuriakselin irroitus ja takaisinlaitto ahtaassa ja kuumassa moottoritilassa on oma haasteensa! Katoksen korjaus, kumiveneen puhdistus, pakastin-jääkaappi ja paljon muita tärkeitä asioita! Toivottavasti saat nukuttua ja levättyä tarpeeksi. Sinulla on kiva kissa seurana😊❤ Kaipaan hienoja videoitasi❤!! Lisää😊!
About 30 years ago my wife and I discussed becoming live-aboards and sailing around the world like the people we would read about did. We found out that we couldn't stand living on the boat for more than 3 weeks at a time. We have been sailing for about 45 years now. We still love sailing but we are getting older. We've met the best people during our sailing time.
You Came a long way since twenty twenty. I'm so impressed!!! by you such a Quick learner. Three years and you're pulling the shaft... talking about the Cutlass bearing... doing electrical work like it's second nature...you have put tremendous amount of energy these last few years Lauren... you need a break 😢 I'm so proud of you... you became a professional you far exceeded I'm speechless 😶 . Speechless.
I always chuckle when I hear you talk about being nervous operating your boat because you're a hell of a captain and you always do it with such ease 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you drive the heck out of that boat making it look easy, always looking seasoned and professional
If you would have told me, I would be facilitated watching a boat haul out a few months ago, I would say you are crazy. But here I am. You have me totally hooked on your boating lifestyle. 😍🤩😁 You tell your stories and share your adventures so well, I am looking forward to each new episode. 😊😊😊 It may not be everyone's dream to be a solo sailor, but you show all the intriguing aspects of your day to day life, I am sure more and more viewers are virtually living that life dream with you. You are such an inspiration to all who watch your videos. You have come so far from when I first started following you that I feel privileged to support you on your journey. 💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙 Very, very great job again, I will be eagerly looking forward to your next video. All the best on your rebirth in preparation for next season. Be safe, be happy, and be confident in my prayers for you.
First distance race, and we had one crew not show up, then discovered our spinnaker bag contained a genoa. The club launch made a long fast run to bring us a spinnaker as we were heading for the start, the and missing crew came out on another boat at the same time. Talk about threading a needle...at race speed, sandwiched between two motor lauches, taking on crew from one side, swapping sailbags on the other, and feeling VERY much like the filling on an Oreo cookie. Somehow, it all worked out. Grab racing rides for a while. It really builds your cruising confidence!
Lauren, You look real good when you sweat. Mako is the coolest cat. Find comfort where you can and don't apologize for being driven. Averyone wishes they had a passion. Follow yours. Everyone loves a fighter.
Thanks for all of your videos. You are a true role model for young girls. I hope that parents share your videos with their children. Enjoy your much deserved time off.
"Photo of the Year!",.... the list of accomplishments I barely know you've attained is so impressive. I find myself pausing the video to try and reason with my mind some of who you are. Watching you back that 50' sailboat with the skill of a pro one second, then cuddling your cat and looking like a innocent young lady who couldn't possibly know what a cutlass bearing is... but you do... bends my brain to the limits! Carry on cutie pie Lauren Landers, I plan on reading your blockbuster book one day! ✍))) ❤
Awe the boating life, so glad you enjoy it and are willing to share. Business: Zinc anodes, when let out in the air for a while they will form a hard coating that will prevent them from working properly so use a stainless wire brush and go over each of them if you have one that will attach to a drill even better. The sacrificial anodes protect every metal part in your boat. Bearing, shafts and couplings will respond well to a bit of heat (oven, torch, heat gun, induction heater) to expand them or cold (I have used dry ice) or even the freezer overnight such as your shaft bearing helps them slide in quickly until the temperature equalizes. Painting the hull, make sure the ambient temperature and humidity fall within the manufacturers recommendations. I have seen the bottom paint completely come off the hull of a 210" ship in six months and it ate up the new zinc anodes as well because those guidelines were not followed. Sorry for the boring part. Be safe and much success.
Great Video Lauren! Loved seeing the process of getting the boat ready to rest for a bit. Hope you have a restful break on land. Fantastic job as always.
I was in Apartment #5 at Spice Island Marine only a few weeks ago when we were putting the cat on the hard. The SIM boys were brilliant with everything 👍
I hope that you are already feeling the rejuvenation you needed Lauren. Its strange to leave your boat. I was on board mine for 28 days and that first night on land was a really weird feeling. Not just the stillness of being back on terra ferma, but the little world i was accustomed to suddenly expanded with people and vehicle's. But after a few days I got my land legs back and found myself able to sleep without the boat rocking me to sleep. The main attribute was being able to procure all the things on my list and not have to make concessions due to availability. And the time spent with family and friends was probably the best part of coming ashore. So go have fun, get those soul batteries up to fully charged and get back with a whole new perspective. And of course theres is a ton of work awaiting your arrival! But as ive said, We love them and the pampering is just a reflection of it. And that feeling of knowing that she's as bristol as we are capable of getting her is reassuring when we spot that first squall. Have a fantastic time back in the states and I can't wait to see you full of vitality and eagerness to put in and hoist the main for your next voyage! Happy travels Lauren!
Very proud of you Lauren for all that you've achieved throughout your journey. To take a break from everything including the boat life must have been a huge decision for you to make so I applaud you and your courage to do so. All the best for your future ahead Lauren you deserve every bit of love and kindness coming your way. 🙏🏾
Mainly sailed in New Enlgland with wife for 40 years. Four weeks was enough for us at a time and happy to get home. Boat was also a beach house in Ct. Then came south with boat in our early fifties. Trucked it down. Sailed the Bahamas but too hot and buggy. Very rough inlets in Florida. Water too shalow for a deep draft full keel boat. Motored the intercoastal to Tampa via Lake Okcheecibee. Boring until Ft Meyers. Added a Boston Whaler to our fleet. Dockate is hard to get for the saiboat. Full service yards have turned into condos. Too hot to sail in the summer and the sun beats the hell out of the boat. AC is on all summer. Miss all the different deep harbors and islands in NE. But too old now to sail the old way. So Lauren enjoy the hell out of you twenties. We did and never looked back. Sailing is responsibility. Never forget that. Never forget basic navigation skills. Know every inch of your boat. Good mechanics are hard to find on the south. Nothing stays the same. Put Damp Rid in the boat when its closed up.
We’ll miss you and Mako the Wonderkat! He had been so cute and amazing the last few episodes and he loves his Lauren so much ❤❤❤. Get what YOU need before you come back.:.spend time with friends and family…sending loving energy to you and my favorite kitty! 🎉
Hey Lauren, thanks for your message. Yep its always difficult to say good bye which become part of your life. But as one of the comments rightly suggest we all need a much deserving brake ! Have fun... music...read books and doing some thing different till we see you and Soul De La Mar once again !!
A trick I learned about prop walk. If you walk to port for example and need to navigate to starboard. Right full rudder and full throttle astern in short bursts. Just enough to get you moving and water moving over the rudder.
Hola Lauren, a veces este es el ejemplo perfecto de como uno sin ver tu vida dia a dia puede llegar a confundirse y creer que algo de ella fue facil. Cuando lo vi al video me di cuenta que sos una maquina de trabajo continuo, no paraste en ningun momento y con los calores que hizo, yo los vi mediante el sistema satelital, te felicito por filmar todo y mostrarlo. Te amo por ser distinta y mostrar que existen personas como vos en el mundo a pesar de que muchas de ellas no las conozcamos. Un beso grande y todo mi apoyo y la respuesta de la gente es la merecida por tu gran dedicacion. 😘😘😘💗💙
Lauren: Your an amazing woman, I have a deep love and appreciation for the ocean as you do. I believe you do or you wouldn't do what your doing. I am watching others here on RUclips that sail the oceans as you and they have someone there to help them as a team even if not at the forefront of there video channel like you are. I say your amazing because you do it all, your Captain, mechanic, camera specialist, video editor, cook fixer, Sailor!! I see you struggle with all these jobs solo, and you deal with it all with it all, with calm and a level head, at least what you don't edit out, but at your age, its rare. As a experienced man with years of knowledge I think it would be difficult for me alone, Plus the fact that alone can be a mind game too. Please, never let yourself get so tired and fried, exhausted that you are not thinking straight and make honest stupid mistakes, simple ones that can cost you your life. I've been a Commercial diver, Soldier, skydiver, climber, adventurer through out my life, its the simple mistakes that get people killed in all these things Ive done. They forget some important step because they are tired or ignore something because its a hassle or they get complacent. You are out there alone with so many variables sweetheart, please take all the precautions necessary to protect yourself. Something as simple as slipping on a wet deck and falling overboard in the middle of the vast ocean in the day or night while underway, because your trying to do it all, film, captain, everything and are exhausted or tired all at the same time. There's nothing wrong with admitting we can't do it all alone in those moments. Catch yourself don't push your limits beyond the limits you know you shouldn't push yourself beyond, just drop sail, float, so your safe, put the camera down, go below make sure your cat is safe and sleep to be fresh and sharp. Then travel on. I think I can say this for all who care about you and are keeping up with your journeys it would be tragic if something would happen to you😢 So, please be careful get the rest you need we can see when your tired it shows in your beautiful face. Always take the precautions you need to be safe. We care, and thank you for sharing your life with us!! When you need friends we are here watching your posts.
Now comes (this week) a totally deserved award,... my sincere congratulations (with permission). It's hard to leave the sea, but... I'm going to the mainmast... --- Alvar
I will miss your adventures for only being subscriber for couple month but watched all your videos and found them interesting on how pretty young women and cat on 30+ Sail boat cruising Bahamas by her self is incredible and intense. I hope you keep updates coming on your future plans and hopefully the funding from channel will help you fix and update your boat and hopefully get you back on Sea.
Now comes (this week) a totally deserved award,... my sincere congratulations (with permission). It's hard to leave the sea, but... I'm going to the mainmast...
Hi, wow so different to sea you in a building, and having comforts which you so deserve, that feels good😊 Lauren s land adventures 🌿 Big thanks Great to know the vessel is safe, and getting upgraded, I am going to use long threaded rod to pull my cutlass bearing in, but its a non metal one, and you make two cuts in the old one and resal it out. The accom near your boat is marvelous, a good nights sleep after hard days 👏
While she’s docked up Lauren, get the birds nest wiring sorted and above the floor and other problems fixed, you shouldn’t be constantly concerned with equipment failure. I think that’s partly why you’re burnt out, I wouldn’t think the sailing the Bahamas part would do it.
Hello my favorite pretty lady Lauren. I sent you a long comment text on one of your episodes a year ago and forgot it was a year ago and you probably will never see it. And that I mentioned you had a subdued but nice smile but probably wasn't paying attention and looking at this episode, you have a very good Pleasant smile and grin. You relayed so much info in that episode a year ago that I wasn't aware of. You are really a go-getter Lauren. I mentioned about keeping your eyes out for et sky and spacecraft in the open-skies out there in the waters. It's been a pet subject of mine all my life. I'm 85 now and saw my first one up close when I was 15 and have seen 39 more over my lifetime. Never once did I get a bad feeling about them. Such a fascinating subject. Well honey bee, take care as they say and look to God and your inner self for resourcefulness! So long for now sweetheart and catch you hopefully on your next one.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That’a girl, 66° is where it’s at on that mini split AC unit buddy! That reminds me of where I live in Texas & how chilly I keep my place! I know you get used to it but I HAVE NO CLUE HOW YOU LIVE ON THAT SAILBOAT WITHOUT AC!!! ❤😂
You are an extra ordinary young woman doing extra ordinary things Lauren. Love your channel. I hope you meet a bunch more young cruisers. I already know you have a pretty good group, because I follow several of them. Stay safe.❤🙏
Good or bad, you need someone you'll listen to who'll tell it like it is, tough love, eye-opening facts. Things like be very careful with burn-out because that's something so real it can easily and without warning absolutely kill your dream, leaving it behind you never to return to it. You may return to it only to get discouraged again by all the work required to get back on the water in the pretty, cozy coves to rest/recharge in. It's basically a balance of the ideal vision vs the hard truths of boat management + online content management + details of personal life management. Seems to me that's a 3 to 1 fight you want to come to terms with in ways that will provide the most enjoyment of your dreams. How you manage it is up to you in the end and I wish you all the best.
Im amazed abour your knowledge of so many different things. Im likely amazed about your hard work and strenght. I have of course vote for you. Ron from Sweden
Off-road eScooter for shore, folds up small, groceries etc in backpack, could also tow a foldable beach cart. Nitecore EMR40 for mozzies. Love those denim shorts on you, I used to be able to pull that look off. Smile more, you could be working a shitty job with arsholes. 😸
Sailing through life, Sun is shining, good breeze blowing, Nicely making way, Squalls forming, trouble on the way, Gone below, hatches battened, Hoping to find my way, Seas calming, sun shining, Thanking God for another day. Stay safe, keep on sailing, love your videos 🙂
I remember how nervous my pops was when we had to haul out. He would go from cool dude to Anxiety x10! Lol. I live 90mi from PCB, Florida. I am often tempted when I see killer deals good sailboats but I'm up age now. Sailing / Cruising in the 70s may have been the last of it for me. So in the meantime I'll just keep watching my fav YT'ers Raff & Sasha, the Evans's and LL Mako yo! 😉
Lauren, have a good time. Enjoy yourself. Get yourself some relaxation rejuvenate so you’re ready to hit it when you come back. sending you tons of love.🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻💜😎🐬🇺🇸
have you see Spear it Animal's config? They have over 2000w of Solar and davits all integrated. Would something like that be within your budget? I feel like that is what you really need. Its really "clean"
I'm looking for a skipper for my 2023 Catamaran, I have it docked and ready to go. Also very new to sailing ⛵️ and ocean experience, I want to make a YT channel and explore the world on it.
😖 Anyone hear her say, "I've been burt out since Highschool"??? 😂🤣🤣🤣OMG - If you had burn out in Highschool, your not going to make it through LIFE SWEETHEART 😂🤣🤣🤣
Have fun at the boat show, I voted for you, hope you win! I think you and Mako need some land time and family time to re-energize for the next step in your adventure.
Great vid :) enjoy the time on land buttttt remember when you get back water coming out of the keel means that water can also go in its a 2 way street loved the vid cant wait to see the work ones coming up
You should go over and get with Odd...the orange boat. They are RUclipsrs and he knows quite a bit about wiring. He could help you with your autopilot and other things.
Living on a boat is not all sunshine and rainbows. BTDT. The break will do you some good! Hope a teammate(s) materializes. Being alone can be fun and empowering but it takes a different kind for that to be the default. I'm guessing a bf or good friend(s) would really help to make both the highs higher and the lows higher. Good luck - fun channel. Rooting for you.
Your life is so cool. I love watching insta cool people who have an unrealistic pointless life. I am happy working for my family in the real world. Living your best life!!!!!!!
Enjoying your videos! We stayed in the apartments at spice just after you in room 4!! We saw your sticker in the cupboard!! What brand are your side deck faux teak? I like that they put the lines on an angle. We are at Secret Harbour! We know Brian Dale from Farfella as well! We met him at Hop A Nose and buddy boated and met up with him at Jensen beach Florida! Enjoy your time away!!
Lauren очень нравятся ваши вдохновляющие видео. Спасибо! Надеюсь, что когда-нибудь брошу рутину, сумасшедшую жизнь в мегаполисе и отправлюсь в долгое предолгое кругосветное приключение. И своего медведя возьму в это путешествие.😁 Из России с любовью.❤
Take care of yourself Lauren. Stop filming, stop working, take a real break! And please stop using those supplements, they are really bad for your health. Stick to fresh fruits and vegetables, you will notice the difference within weeks. We love you and we will wait for you to come back and see you shine again, whatever you decide to do in the future. ❤
Hi Lauren leaving your precious baby so far away must not feel good. You have in the past complained about the AP, my question is why did you go for a hydro vane system and not get a more accurate up to date electronic unit. As more and more power operated items become a must on a boat you need to look into upgrading the batteries to a higher capacity and if possible run off 48V system. If you look at most of the other successful sailing channels they have a well set up battery system that gets them what they need. At the boat show if you get a chance try and chat with those that are there for advice.

Lauren is impressive. Sailing to Grenada with her cat. Navigating. Problem solving. Authentic commentary. Bravo.
If no one’s mentioned it, a great tool to carry is a magnet, 3-6” will work for grabbing stuff in shallow water. I use a long rope as the tether.
GoGo Mako the Cat 🐈⬛
The wonderful wonderful cat
Glad for some R&R for Lauren too!
It's weird but the break feels like a break for us too as a viewer it was really nice to see you get to enjoy some home comforts.
I always chuckle when I hear you talk about being nervous operating your boat because you're a hell of a captain and you always do it with such ease 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you drive the heck out of that boat making it look easy, always looking seasoned and professional
This video is a good reminder ot how we all take AC for granted. I can't wait to see you use the wind vane steering! So excited!

Thanks for all of your videos. You are a true role model for young girls. I hope that parents share your videos with their children. Enjoy your much deserved time off.
Even if the bottom is 'fine' it doesn't hurt to just roll a quick additional coat of bottom paint while it's in dry dock.

the higher you raise the keel during manuvering the boat will respond way better, bring it all way up and handles like a boat
Laurie loves lmnt! Buying you a wine wherever you are…cheers! 🤗
Aww you are the best 🤗❤️
Get some rest pretty lady. Your boat will be fine where she is and you will be in a better frame of mind when you get back,

Mainly sailed in New Enlgland with wife for 40 years. Four weeks was enough for us at a time and happy to get home. Boat was also a beach house in Ct. Then came south with boat in our early fifties. Trucked it down. Sailed the Bahamas but too hot and buggy. Very rough inlets in Florida. Water too shalow for a deep draft full keel boat. Motored the intercoastal to Tampa via Lake Okcheecibee. Boring until Ft Meyers. Added a Boston Whaler to our fleet. Dockate is hard to get for the saiboat. Full service yards have turned into condos. Too hot to sail in the summer and the sun beats the hell out of the boat. AC is on all summer. Miss all the different deep harbors and islands in NE. But too old now to sail the old way. So Lauren enjoy the hell out of you twenties. We did and never looked back. Sailing is responsibility. Never forget that. Never forget basic navigation skills. Know every inch of your boat. Good mechanics are hard to find on the south. Nothing stays the same. Put Damp Rid in the boat when its closed up.

Fun episode….I feel your haul-out pain! Hauling in Spanish Wells mid Oct. always fun working around a pet…cat or pup….safe travels! Thanks, Andrew
i'm impressed! ready to leave all behind and meet you anywhere in the world
Good luck Breaks are good every one needs them !

Hey Lauren, thanks for your message. Yep its always difficult to say good bye which become part of your life. But as one of the comments rightly suggest we all need a much deserving brake ! Have fun... music...read books and doing some thing different till we see you and Soul De La Mar once again !!
Hey Lauren, Take the time you need to re-energize. I hope you have a fantastic time back home with family and friends.
Thanks for the aerial shots!😊
A trick I learned about prop walk. If you walk to port for example and need to navigate to starboard. Right full rudder and full throttle astern in short bursts. Just enough to get you moving and water moving over the rudder.
You’re awesome Lauren! Thanks for showing us your journeys and we are all here for it! The up and downs 😊
Looking forward to meeting you in person at the Annapolis Boat Show!

Lauren: Your an amazing woman, I have a deep love and appreciation for the ocean as you do. I believe you do or you wouldn't do what your doing. I am watching others here on RUclips that sail the oceans as you and they have someone there to help them as a team even if not at the forefront of there video channel like you are. I say your amazing because you do it all, your Captain, mechanic, camera specialist, video editor, cook fixer, Sailor!! I see you struggle with all these jobs solo, and you deal with it all with it all, with calm and a level head, at least what you don't edit out, but at your age, its rare. As a experienced man with years of knowledge I think it would be difficult for me alone, Plus the fact that alone can be a mind game too. Please, never let yourself get so tired and fried, exhausted that you are not thinking straight and make honest stupid mistakes, simple ones that can cost you your life. I've been a Commercial diver, Soldier, skydiver, climber, adventurer through out my life, its the simple mistakes that get people killed in all these things Ive done. They forget some important step because they are tired or ignore something because its a hassle or they get complacent. You are out there alone with so many variables sweetheart, please take all the precautions necessary to protect yourself. Something as simple as slipping on a wet deck and falling overboard in the middle of the vast ocean in the day or night while underway, because your trying to do it all, film, captain, everything and are exhausted or tired all at the same time. There's nothing wrong with admitting we can't do it all alone in those moments. Catch yourself don't push your limits beyond the limits you know you shouldn't push yourself beyond, just drop sail, float, so your safe, put the camera down, go below make sure your cat is safe and sleep to be fresh and sharp. Then travel on. I think I can say this for all who care about you and are keeping up with your journeys it would be tragic if something would happen to you😢 So, please be careful get the rest you need we can see when your tired it shows in your beautiful face. Always take the precautions you need to be safe. We care, and thank you for sharing your life with us!! When you need friends we are here watching your posts.
Thank you for your compassion for Lauren, very well put! You should also have been a writer! God bless you sir!
Well said...Peace be with you.
Now comes (this week) a totally deserved award,... my sincere congratulations (with permission). It's hard to leave the sea, but...
I'm going to the mainmast... --- Alvar
Enjoy your break and get your boat ready for some more awesome videos enjoy watching them from NZ
Enjoy your time away sister. Stay safe and thanks for taking me along…
I will miss your adventures for only being subscriber for couple month but watched all your videos and found them interesting on how pretty young women and cat on 30+ Sail boat cruising Bahamas by her self is incredible and intense. I hope you keep updates coming on your future plans and hopefully the funding from channel will help you fix and update your boat and hopefully get you back on Sea.
Loved the way Mako worked hard ❤
Now comes (this week) a totally deserved award,... my sincere congratulations (with permission). It's hard to leave the sea, but...
I'm going to the mainmast...
LAUREN......you gotta video yourself again giggling underwater with the dolphins!!!! So funny episode 43. So funny!!! Loved it!!!
Hi, wow so different to sea you in a building, and having comforts which you so deserve, that feels good😊
Lauren s land adventures 🌿
Big thanks
Great to know the vessel is safe, and getting upgraded, I am going to use long threaded rod to pull my cutlass bearing in, but its a non metal one, and you make two cuts in the old one and resal it out.
The accom near your boat is marvelous, a good nights sleep after hard days 👏
Ah nice!! And yes AC was a luxury!!
While she’s docked up Lauren, get the birds nest wiring sorted and above the floor and other problems fixed, you shouldn’t be constantly concerned with equipment failure. I think that’s partly why you’re burnt out, I wouldn’t think the sailing the Bahamas part would do it.
Hello my favorite pretty lady Lauren. I sent you a long comment text on one of your episodes a year ago and forgot it was a year ago and you probably will never see it. And that I mentioned you had a subdued but nice smile but probably wasn't paying attention and looking at this episode, you have a very good Pleasant smile and grin. You relayed so much info in that episode a year ago that I wasn't aware of. You are really a go-getter Lauren. I mentioned about keeping your eyes out for et sky and spacecraft in the open-skies out there in the waters. It's been a pet subject of mine all my life. I'm 85 now and saw my first one up close when I was 15 and have seen 39 more over my lifetime. Never once did I get a bad feeling about them. Such a fascinating subject. Well honey bee, take care as they say and look to God and your inner self for resourcefulness! So long for now sweetheart and catch you hopefully on your next one.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Stunning scenery
Looking forward to more sailing adventures oh yeah
That’a girl, 66° is where it’s at on that mini split AC unit buddy! That reminds me of where I live in Texas & how chilly I keep my place! I know you get used to it but I HAVE NO CLUE HOW YOU LIVE ON THAT SAILBOAT WITHOUT AC!!! ❤😂
You are an extra ordinary young woman doing extra ordinary things Lauren. Love your channel. I hope you meet a bunch more young cruisers. I already know you have a pretty good group, because I follow several of them. Stay safe.❤🙏
Good or bad, you need someone you'll listen to who'll tell it like it is, tough love, eye-opening facts. Things like be very careful with burn-out because that's something so real it can easily and without warning absolutely kill your dream, leaving it behind you never to return to it. You may return to it only to get discouraged again by all the work required to get back on the water in the pretty, cozy coves to rest/recharge in. It's basically a balance of the ideal vision vs the hard truths of boat management + online content management + details of personal life management. Seems to me that's a 3 to 1 fight you want to come to terms with in ways that will provide the most enjoyment of your dreams. How you manage it is up to you in the end and I wish you all the best.
Your biggest job on this break from the boat is to get some rest. Or maybe extra rest. Have fun and relax.
Lauren You are awesome, rest and enjoy recharge and come back rejuvenated.
🙏🏼🩵
Im amazed abour your knowledge of so many different things. Im likely amazed about your hard work and strenght. I have of course vote for you. Ron from Sweden
Off-road eScooter for shore, folds up small, groceries etc in backpack, could also tow a foldable beach cart. Nitecore EMR40 for mozzies. Love those denim shorts on you, I used to be able to pull that look off. Smile more, you could be working a shitty job with arsholes. 😸
Voted done… praying for safe travels.
Love your videos, always learn something, love your bubbly disposition, you and first mate are cool.
Sailing through life,
Sun is shining, good breeze blowing,
Nicely making way,
Squalls forming, trouble on the way,
Gone below, hatches battened,
Hoping to find my way,
Seas calming, sun shining,
Thanking God for another day.
Stay safe, keep on sailing, love your videos 🙂
🙏🏼🩵
I remember how nervous my pops was when we had to haul out. He would go from cool dude to Anxiety x10! Lol. I live 90mi from PCB, Florida. I am often tempted when I see killer deals good sailboats but I'm up age now. Sailing / Cruising in the 70s may have been the last of it for me. So in the meantime I'll just keep watching my fav YT'ers Raff & Sasha, the Evans's and LL Mako yo! 😉
You’re in the same boat yard with Duca and Roberta from “Odd Life Crafting”
they sold Odd. So the boats still there.
Lauren, have a good time. Enjoy yourself. Get yourself some relaxation rejuvenate so you’re ready to hit it when you come back. sending you tons of love.🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻💜😎🐬🇺🇸
have you see Spear it Animal's config? They have over 2000w of Solar and davits all integrated. Would something like that be within your budget? I feel like that is what you really need. Its really "clean"
bonne pause à vous.
I love your channel! So inspirational. I took my first sailing course and I am in love!! Hope to get an ASA certification soon💕⛵️
I'm looking for a skipper for my 2023 Catamaran, I have it docked and ready to go. Also very new to sailing ⛵️ and ocean experience, I want to make a YT channel and explore the world on it.
Kool runnings is next to the yard. Better value for lodging I think.
😖 Anyone hear her say, "I've been burt out since Highschool"??? 😂🤣🤣🤣OMG - If you had burn out in Highschool, your not going to make it through LIFE SWEETHEART 😂🤣🤣🤣
Have fun at the boat show, I voted for you, hope you win! I think you and Mako need some land time and family time to re-energize for the next step in your adventure.
Love your content! Glad you’re having a little vacation ♥️ self love always
you are the best Lauren.
Great vid :) enjoy the time on land buttttt remember when you get back water coming out of the keel means that water can also go in its a 2 way street loved the vid cant wait to see the work ones coming up
Amazing videos and you're an amazing person, thanks!
You should go over and get with Odd...the orange boat. They are RUclipsrs and he knows quite a bit about wiring. He could help you with your autopilot and other things.
depending how far back these videos were taken, Duca and Roberta sold Odd.
@@StreetTruckinTitan Yeah, I know...but they should be still around. He has things to do on it yet

@@keithproctor5559 it's possible.
wow, can it be that we saw you this season at bimini big game club ????
hugs dd
Living on a boat is not all sunshine and rainbows. BTDT. The break will do you some good! Hope a teammate(s) materializes. Being alone can be fun and empowering but it takes a different kind for that to be the default. I'm guessing a bf or good friend(s) would really help to make both the highs higher and the lows higher. Good luck - fun channel. Rooting for you.
I have voted!! Good Luck!!!!
Enjoy your break. 😘😘
🙏🏼
Wait, you'll have a good rest, because I really want to see you in a week))) Have a good rest!!!!
Your life is so cool. I love watching insta cool people who have an unrealistic pointless life. I am happy working for my family in the real world. Living your best life!!!!!!!
I love all your shows
You can share your life on land as well. Don't make us wait until you set sail again.
Enjoying your videos! We stayed in the apartments at spice just after you in room 4!! We saw your sticker in the cupboard!! What brand are your side deck faux teak? I like that they put the lines on an angle. We are at Secret Harbour! We know Brian Dale from Farfella as well! We met him at Hop A Nose and buddy boated and met up with him at Jensen beach Florida! Enjoy your time away!!
Take care and rest ,relax, have fun love you both and stay safe
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I only discovered you 2 days ago and love your videos and have learnt many more things from you. Aussie chick
See you in Annapolis!
See you there!
Rest up and hurry on back. Missing your videos⛵
Well I wasn’t going to be missing a single week despite… but my hard drive crashed so I’ll be a bit behind now /:
Captain will miss u hope to see u soon b safe in ur travels ⚓️⛵️🇺🇸⛵️⚓️
Lauren очень нравятся ваши вдохновляющие видео. Спасибо! Надеюсь, что когда-нибудь брошу рутину, сумасшедшую жизнь в мегаполисе и отправлюсь в долгое предолгое кругосветное приключение. И своего медведя возьму в это путешествие.😁 Из России с любовью.❤
Please be careful with Mako.. such a great cat
Done voting, good luck. Love from Sweden🇸🇪
Take care of yourself Lauren. Stop filming, stop working, take a real break! And please stop using those supplements, they are really bad for your health. Stick to fresh fruits and vegetables, you will notice the difference within weeks. We love you and we will wait for you to come back and see you shine again, whatever you decide to do in the future. ❤
veg have plant toxins. Nothing wrong with LMNT
Bad for your health how? Provide links to proper scientific evidence rather than just blurt out crap!
Hi Lauren leaving your precious baby so far away must not feel good. You have in the past complained about the AP, my question is why did you go for a hydro vane system and not get a more accurate up to date electronic unit. As more and more power operated items become a must on a boat you need to look into upgrading the batteries to a higher capacity and if possible run off 48V system. If you look at most of the other successful sailing channels they have a well set up battery system that gets them what they need. At the boat show if you get a chance try and chat with those that are there for advice.
You have a bow thruster, doing that should be a piece of cake. Unless your bt is like mine and only works when it feels like it.
love your videos you are a real inspiration.
Those blue eyes and knows how to turn a wrench. ❤
…all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by…. Gods blessings with you during this journey.
