Hi Larry, it is in the UK too :-) This was my first Father's day with Emma and although we were busy as always, I made the time to play with her and those few minutes together made me feel like I'd won the lottery! Being together for occasions like this is a rarity (I'm often working offshore) so when we get to spend them together we really, really appreciate them! Fair winds, Chris 👍
Ooo my Emma fix. Listen to her squawk and she almost has that sippy cup. I hope the grandparents are enjoying this too. Happy Fathers Day from Minnesota USA.
Hi Tom, thank you! Emma's grandparents are enjoying the videos too and we are very happy that we can look back on this first ever Father's day in years to come and see these precious moments again. Fair winds! Chris, Rossella & Emma 🙂
Your video made me remember my children gnawing on my knuckles when they were teething. It may seem a trail today but someday it will be a fond memory. What you will not remember fondly is when your daughter hits puberty. Enjoy your voyage with Ema until then.
Hi guys, well looks like its all going well on board, apart from a few teething troubles (with boat and Emma) they all tend to come at once. Boat looking awesome and everyone smiling. even weather been great. Loving Emma's play area and cant wait to see you solar install vid. Another great vlog and always look forward to the next. Oh and happy first Fathers Day Chris. Take care.
Wonderful video. In two years y'all will be chasing Emma around the deck. Awesome family! Amazing how when things go wrong, it only happens at worst time.
Rosella, I find the pasta needs a quick stir after first pouring into the pot to prevent any sticking to the bottom while waiting for the water to return to a "rolling boil". My very favorite pasta dish uses Italian pork and fennel sausage meat sauted with a mix of fresh mushrooms, add cream and fine grated Parmagiana and chopped Parsely then stir in spirali or penne pasta with a touch of the pasta water. A chunk of fresh bread to sop up the sauce and a white wine and I'm in heaven. Cheers Eric
We made the same sort of play area in the v berth when our kids were small, invaluable when we were mooring or anchoring because we knew they were safe and we could get on with the job in hand!
Hi Lorraine, we have a mini version of this on the seat in the forward cabin but we are also planning adding another on the V-berth too. It's definitely nice to have options and this kind of solution is perfect to gain a few minutes of concentration when you most need it (during which baby invariably always wants your attention!) Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 🙂
If I remember correctly tomorrow is Rossella's birthday. Many greetings from an old twin sailor ... Buon compleanno ovunque voi siate e grazie per i bei video... Ciao
Hi there, that is a huge pan we used as we only have 3 on board at the moment... Rossella's pasta is delicious so I'm not going to argue with her! 😉 Fair winds, Chris
Being from an Italian American family, the way you know the pasta is done is when the "tester" says its done, hahahaha...another entertaining video guys...Ciao and favorable winds!
Great video again... Nothing better than those memorable trips 🙃. Why did the engine over heat? Emma sooooo cute! - would have loved to see the ready pasta dish - 😎. -Tim
Hi Tim, the engine overheating gets covered in great detail in future videos, so we wouldn't want to spoil them for you! (I fixed it and it is all working perfectly now) We'll show more food in future and probably make some recipe videos too. :-) Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 🙂
Another great video, lovely cinematics! Emma is so cute. I should have filmed you coming up the river and going through the lock, good timelapse footage though 👍😊
Hi Garreth, thank you very much! We would have loved to have some drone footage of our trip up river. I'm sure we can arrange something before Britaly heads over the horizon! 🙂👍 Fair winds! Chris, Rossella & Emma
Sailing Britaly if I remember right I think the winds were a little too strong for the drone that day 👎 Yes let me know when you need some footage, I'm always happy to help out 😊
It was a windy day and most things that could have gone wrong did go wrong on the first part of the trip: It's probably a good thing you didn't have your fantastic drone hovering over the river...! 😂 We are really looking forward to seeing you again (we have a little something to give you) and working with you again at some point soon. 🙂👍
Sailing Britaly oh really! I like a suprise haha 👍 it's always a pleasure working with you all, it's always relaxing just sitting on Britaly enjoying a cup of tea too 👍😊
Rosella, as Sophia Loren always said "Everything you see I owe to Pasta" and you're so right, as an Italian taught me.... "Always the Pasta TO the Sauce, Capisci! "
Thank you! 🙂 We did have the Genoa and mainsail ready to go but the overheating was intermittent so by reducing the RPM we were able to make the very short trip without any problems. Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 👍
Hi Richard, Emma does seem to have excellent balance and we will certainly support her if she wishes to get involved in outdoor activities, on or off the water! (We are convinced that the great outdoors are home to the best hobbies...) Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 🙂
Hello! Funny you should say that, we smashed the one glass wine glass we had on board this morning! We all miss you loads... 😘 Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
Thank you Wayne! We've seen lots of people add pasta to teh water before bringing it to the boil, so there seems to be some confusion about this. Hopefully we can help spread the 'Italian method'... 😉 Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 🙂
Get in there Britaly!!! Mate, I'm actually addicted to this... Considering I can't stand RUclips, that is a truly monumentous statement. We'll have to sort an rv out... Perhaps drop Lou a contact detail via FB (that's Facebook!!) and go from there? Come on shippers, get the next vid on...
Hi there, thank you for watching and commenting. Rossella plans on sharing more Italian cooking tips recipies in future 😉 Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 🙂
We couldn't agree more Roderick, that is very inconvenient and we miss actually really miss the tiller we had on the old boat for close quarter boat handling. Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 🙂
Do you use how much more water with baby Emma. I know the answer. Was just asking because you mentioned time it takes.Your daughter will see so much growing up and experience things that other children nevee have . Have fun watching her grow and learn . Those blue eyes thanks for sharing
Hi Page, we are using lots and lots of water at the moment but that's also because we have no restrictions on how much we can carry (we're in marinas until the refit is complete). If we were out at anchor we would drastically reduce our consumption but that is so much more difficult to do with a baby... 😂 We are really appreciating spending this time with Emma and we are truly blessed to be able to live like we are right now. Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 🙂
Ditto regarding Emma--she seems so well-behaved and content (especially in her new play area--clever idea!). I'm curious: What was the problem that triggered the engine warning (obviously it was resolved) and have you resolved the VHF issue?
Hi Wayne, thank you! Emma is a very, very happy baby. I'm not going to lie to you: it can be really hard work (the bit where we are talking in the cockpit took about an hour to film because Emma kept 'vocalising' so we had to keep stop what we were saying and re-record things. That gets very confusing very quickly and Rossella and I both had splitting headaches afterwards! 😂) but we are truly blessed with our perfect daughter. The engine is all fixed now and we go into great detail about that in upcoming videos so I don't want to spoil those for you!... We have bought a new VHF / GPS / AIS receiver combination unit: www.marinesuperstore.com/marine-communication/mounted-vhf-radio/standard-horizon-gx2200e-vhf-with-ais-and-gps which we believe is a very good investment as it gives us AIS data and another GPS unit, as well as a working DSC VHF, all at an affordable price. Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 🙂
Hi there, yes there was water coming out of the exhaust. I do know what caused the problem and I have now fixed it. All will be revealed in our future videos! Fair winds, Chris (plus Rossella & Emma) 🙂
The sprayhood is pretty far gone but we plan on repairing it and keeping it for another couple of years. We bought a vintage Singer sewing machine for £30 (457 stylist with a metal body) which should be able to handle that kind of job and we may use this as a test bed... However a viewer has eye kindly offered to repair it for us, which is tempting considering how busy we are at the moment. We'll see! Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
Hi Barnie, Rossella's Mum makes lots of homemade pasta but let's just say our current workload precludes that kind of dietary extravagance!... 😂 Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
As a 20-year parent. I can tell you that cloth is not child proof. The baby _will_ take a header over the side of that within the next month or two. Needs to be as tall as the baby's armpits standing up and not climbable.
Hi Tim, thank you for your advice. We know that this is a short-term solution and we state this in the video we filmed about how we made this play area... This works from birth up to about 8 months old depending on the child in question. Emma will most assuredly not take a header over the side of that as we are watching her closely and we will modify the way we look after her as she grows. Fair winds, Chris & Rossella
Hey che famiglia!!!!Ciao inglese fortunatoI miei rispetti mamma eroica! Buona idea " italian cooking lesson for strangers" finalmente qualcuno che con un cacio e pepe spieghera' che le ricette "Alfredo"sono fakes||||||ciao da un nuovo follower
It's Father's Day in the USA today , Happy Father's Day Chris !!!!!
Hi Larry, it is in the UK too :-) This was my first Father's day with Emma and although we were busy as always, I made the time to play with her and those few minutes together made me feel like I'd won the lottery!

Emma always seems so happy.
We are very blessed with Emma as she is a very happy baby. Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊

Uh oh, Ema's drivin' you to drinkin'!
You need to get her swabbin' decks as soon as possible so she can earn her keep! 😂
WIth the rate at which Emma is growing up it will be no time at all before she's at the helm. Bless her... 👼
Your video made me remember my children gnawing on my knuckles when they were teething. It may seem a trail today but someday it will be a fond memory. What you will not remember fondly is when your daughter hits puberty. Enjoy your voyage with Ema until then.
Such a beautiful family, Emma is so absolutely precious, such a happy little girl!
God speed!
Thank you Joe! Emma is really happy and she gives us moments of pure joy every day. We are very blessed. 🙏 Fair winds, Chris Rossella & Emma 🙂

My favorite baby channel. The sailing is neat, too.

Wonderful video. In two years y'all will be chasing Emma around the deck. Awesome family! Amazing how when things go wrong, it only happens at worst time.
Thank you! No doubt Emma will be running round before we know it: she's growing up so fast it's unbelievable! Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 🙂
And she is awesome she makes an old grumpy old man smile every time 😀
😀😊👌
Another enjoyable episode ! Thanks Rosella, Emma, & Chris. Fair winds 👍
Thank you and fair winds! 😊
Nice coffee transition and clever baby gate. 👍
Thank you! Fair winds! Chris, Rossella & Emma 👍👍👍
I watch everything i can on sailing this is the best video I have seen on getting off the dock
Hi Cody, that's very nice to hear, thank you! Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊

Hi Eric, Rossella is in full agreement about stirring the pasta! 👌 Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊

Love your attitude.
Thank you! 🙂
Pasta prep has changed. No more huge pan of boiling water. Now less water and less prep time. I just tried this last week and it works quite well.
Hi there, that is a huge pan we used as we only have 3 on board at the moment... Rossella's pasta is delicious so I'm not going to argue with her! 😉 Fair winds, Chris
Great video! Good idea with the couch barrier for Emma.
Thank you! Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊

Thank you very much indeed, that is great compliment for us! Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊👍

Another great video, thanks! I for one would definitely like to learn some simple Italian recipes I can cook on-board- when you have time, no rush!! 😂
Thanks Phil, it's on the to-do list! Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 🙂
Rosella, as Sophia Loren always said "Everything you see I owe to Pasta" and you're so right, as an Italian taught me.... "Always the Pasta TO the Sauce, Capisci! "

Such a cute baby ! Congrats
Thank you Bruno! Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 🙂
great video guys. a presto!
Grazie mille! Buon vento, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
Se vi serve una scatola di pizzoccheri per abbinarli ai broccoli fate un fischio😁. Ciao!
👍😀
Great video . Suggestion , don't leave the dock without a sail bent on even if just a genoa . That way you have a backup if the engine overheats
Thank you! 🙂 We did have the Genoa and mainsail ready to go but the overheating was intermittent so by reducing the RPM we were able to make the very short trip without any problems. Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 👍
A well deserved drink!
We aren't big drinkers but a sip here and there is well appreciated. Fair winds! Chris, Rossella & Emma 🙂
nice video guys , Emma is getting big she is so cute :-)
Thank you! 😇 Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
I wonder if Emma will develop a better sense of balance growing up on a boat. Maybe there surfing in her future!
Hi Richard, Emma does seem to have excellent balance and we will certainly support her if she wishes to get involved in outdoor activities, on or off the water! (We are convinced that the great outdoors are home to the best hobbies...) Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 🙂
Well done, and thanks for sharing.
Thank you Ronald! Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 🙂
Another great video. Love seeing you all . Must buy you both a proper whiskey glass 😅xxxxx
Hello! Funny you should say that, we smashed the one glass wine glass we had on board this morning! We all miss you loads... 😘 Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
The play area for Emma looks really spiffy!
Thank you Archibald! 🙂
Ohhhh how was Chatham Marina, it’s one marina I was looking at. So many to choose from round here !
Ps, being a trained chef that is the correct way to cook pasta !
Hi Alastair, Chatham Marina is gorgeous and Rossella appreciates the vote of confidence! Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
That's really funny,who cooks pasta like those instructions,wouldn't turn out very well.
Good to see you overcome those few early difficulties 👍😊
Thank you Wayne! We've seen lots of people add pasta to teh water before bringing it to the boil, so there seems to be some confusion about this. Hopefully we can help spread the 'Italian method'... 😉 Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 🙂
Get in there Britaly!!! Mate, I'm actually addicted to this... Considering I can't stand RUclips, that is a truly monumentous statement. We'll have to sort an rv out... Perhaps drop Lou a contact detail via FB (that's Facebook!!) and go from there? Come on shippers, get the next vid on...
Hi Graham, we're glad you are enjoying the videos. 😁 We'll touch base with Louise in the next few days. Christoph 👍👍👍
Cheers, such a same you didn't continue with Rossella's pasta.
Always interesting watching your chanel.

Hi there, thank you for watching and commenting. Rossella plans on sharing more Italian cooking tips recipies in future 😉 Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 🙂
Nice vid your baby is so sweet I remember when mine where that age
Thank you! 🙂
looking good ( again ) ,, not so sure about having to reach throo the steering wheel to get at engine controls tho..

was there water coming out the exhaust for the engine? if not, it could be the water pump impeller. Did you do an engine service before splashing?

Great video!
Thanks Gus! :-)
How are you going to repair the cockpit cover windows? Whole new cover or sew in some new window material?
The sprayhood is pretty far gone but we plan on repairing it and keeping it for another couple of years.

I thought dried pasta was sacrilege to Italians.
