I fail to understand why this channel doesn’t have more subscribers. The videos are well produced and cover multiple interesting subjects, they are quality viewing. I’ll never own a boat never mind a Nordhavn but watching these videos gives me an insight into my dream lifestyle. The time, skill and effort that this wonderful family invest in their channel is much appreciated 😀
I just took delivery on a 2022 Fleming 58. It has a capacity of 1450 gallons of diesel. First time fueling was 1425 gallons at $6.95 in Stuart FL. Almost $9,000!!! So I feel your pain about the high cost of fuel.
Sorry I missed the location you left from for your international cruise 2022. I understand you are going to the berry islands. Wishing you a safe and fun cruise.
Wow! Loved this episode. You conveyed the hurry and chaos of leaving the dock and the fun of the Gulf Stream crossing, catching fish and the kid's wonder at the clear water coming into the Bahamas perfectly. Well Done!
Had to stop the video and go back to 9:37 because I thought I saw Norwegian flags, and as the nice drawings says "I am Norwegian", and actually I am from Kongsberg. I was made aware of your channel by Heidi a few months ago, because our families have history together (if Braden remembers I send him a PM on facebook back in 2015). So amazed by your courage for trying this endeavour and sharing with the world, and after watching most of your episodes I almost feel like I know you guys. Good luck with your roaming to know in the stunning blue waters, I am following your adventures from Norway.
Fuel is much higher in Democratic ran states, it’s $4.30 a gallon here. The highest right now is probably California though, so you probably got lucky by waiting. One good thing is that it’s bound to be cheaper in a few days and miles away....
May I suggest having nordhaven put in a biodezal fuel system And the reason why I'm suggesting this is you gotta think about it what is cheaper a gallon of diesel or a gallon of vegetable oil ? Have an excellent morning
Thanks for the video! It is great to see your family getting out again. 2 questions: 1. With so long between fuel fill ups, do you use an additive to keep it "fresher"? 2. Once you start your main engines, how long before they are usable for propulsion?
Just curious to know your reasoning as to why you would think the fuel prices were going to go down. I knew of a different reason that they would not, since November 2020
I was thinking the same thing since day 1 the gas prices have done nothing but go up. All the people on the coasts are being ripped off I live in Midwest highest I have seen is 4.25 now it is 3.80
Glad to see you’re stretching your sea legs again. You look ready!! I think y’all are really going to enjoy the east Caribbean. Remember what I told you last year when you hinted on expanding out of the Bahamas, Dominica has the best fuel pricing, even these days. Hopefully you’ll get to do all your exploring and get there thirsty. I know it’s a little off the path but I would recommend trying St. Croix. It’s not quite as glamorous as the other two islands but you’ll get to see the heart of the Cruzian people up close and personal. Plus, Braden, you can get some really great deals on hand made gold jewelry for Brooke!! Christiansted has some interesting local eateries along both King and Company streets! Just be careful is someone offers you a Bombay Sapphire martini. They’re great but also twice the size of a normal martini! As you can tell, I spent many days/nights “learning” the area! Buck Island is another must see! Anyway, no matter where you go, I’m sure you’ll enjoy and I look forward to sharing your adventures! Be safe and much ❤️!
Always look forward to your releases. But this music during the crossing had me dropping my phone 😴😴 and playing it off when the thud woke me up. Great stuff
So you drove on a mattress so what was the magic mattress that flies around haha just a joke ha have an excellent day and hope you're having an excellent Easter weekend
The price of fuel has gone through the roof. A US gallon of diesel in the UK is around $8.85/gal and our gallon is slightly more at $10.60/gallon. Oh dear. Great reel as always.
It's great to be on the open water again. I feel much better now. Let's cruise. The hard work has paid off. Brandon, you are still holding the reel upside down.
We’ve considered it but they still burn fuel and you still have two engines to maintain as well as sails and rigging. At the end of the day when we’ve calculated everything the savings costs is a wash.
You might want to turn down this saturation you're getting a lot of brightness in your camera lens which makes you sort of glow and of glow and I mean really glow to where it almost hurts the eyes
See what you do is you go ahead and more yourself close to a super yacht get yourself a super long garden hose that's the same color as the water if it's swim up to the Mega yacht he opened up the fuel hatch stup there fuel hatch stick the hose Into their fuel hatch and fill up your Is YATCH from it And make sure you do this at the dead of night
Maybe a war started by ole mate Putin and a pandemic ignored by his puppet 45potus has something to do with prices. Always amazed by the ignorance, probably due to a big population and a poor education system. JLYSDI peace and happy Easter, he is risen.
@B V If you don't believe a president can F up gas prices by pulling permits and shutting down the Keystone Pipeline then you don't even have a brain stem.
it’s kind of fun seeing americans complaine about fuelprice🤪 today 1gallon here i sweden is 9.89usd and it has now gone down abit! i has been over 11usd/gallon.
Yeah it's expensive now I think Giovanni's gonna end up having to nationalize our fuel distribution and energy sector and the food sector in order to control prices it's because it's going to only lead to a Civil War if we don't and I think it's becoming more of a national security issue with the crazy prices today
Really if he does that you’ll see this Nation come to a dead stop ! Price fixing isn’t the answer, people getting wealth transferred to them by the Government cause! It needs to stop !
What are these kids doing out on deck while underway without life preservers on. Don’t care how water Davy they are this is basic safety out on the high sea’s
No it wasn't stop lying the price of oil has little to do with who is president There is geopolitical issues that factor in "biggly " and supply and demand is the biggest factor in the price of oil also change of seasons, speculation in the markets, price gouging etc. Maybe take more than a ignorant simplistic view on the subject but that would take some education 🤔
@@thomasbrown782 geopolitical issues meaning Global issues Joe Biden is not the center of the universe and I think you would have to go back to around 2002 to find the national average price of gas at a dollar fifty
Not just Uncle Joe, but whole “green energy” cabal. No such thing as “green energy.” There is environmental cost to all energy. Problem is to many people.

We really got hurt with the COPPA law thing recently. Didn’t allow us to grow at all.

Sorry your Broker didn’t top it up for you!
I️ bought a used Hatteras 52 and was pleased to see it came with 1100gal for free!
Wow 😮 CONGRATULATIONS 👍👌🇬🇧
Hope you got all the rubber pieces out of the generator as well.
Great that you are all off the dock in the US. Looking forward to this summers adventures. Keep ‘em coming and Thank You.
Sorry I missed the location you left from for your international cruise 2022. I understand you are going to the berry islands. Wishing you a safe and fun cruise.
Left from Florida
As an old Merchant seaman I'm really liking you videos. Good Luck. Fair winds. You have the cutest kids. Thanks.
Thank you
Thanks for sharing !

Nice to see you all on the sea again....have fun in the warmer temps.....love to your family(and Dan) from Toronto,Canada.

Yes! We know you! :)! Send us a Direct message on Instagram (if you have it) so we can connect that way!!
Looking forward to seeing your arrival in Grenada! We'll be there in September (for vacation, not arriving by boat).
Love that water!! So clear!!
Really guys great video as usual God bless you guys and Dan stay the course and stay safe. Peace
And their off the dock!! Be safe MM crew!! Safe passage!! Looking forward to more cool videos!! 👍👍👌👌👏👏
I also have an Airedale. How do you manage bathroom times.
He goes on land when we can and on the deck when we can’t!
Welcome back Dan!! 👍👍
It's good to see your back on the ocean for more adventures to share with us. I thought your dog Captain was gone forever, glad he's back also. 👍🇨🇦
Almost here in Europa prices?
Thanks for sharing.
Sweet open the fire hose two weeks in two days... I am ready for the video torrent! 😂🤣😂👍👍📹📹
Hi to toofless Penn.
I can only imagine the fuel per gallon cost once we're back in the Bahamas.
I miss having kids this age...its so magical
Fuel is much higher in Democratic ran states, it’s $4.30 a gallon here. The highest right now is probably California though, so you probably got lucky by waiting. One good thing is that it’s bound to be cheaper in a few days and miles away....

1. With so long between fuel fill ups, do you use an additive to keep it "fresher"?
2. Once you start your main engines, how long before they are usable for propulsion?
We allow engines to warm up until they reach about 175 degrees. Takes like 15 min. And no additives really.
@@ABOARDMERMAIDMONSTER is DEF a thing for marine diesel
@@ABOARDMERMAIDMONSTER Thanks for the info!
For every 4 hours of work on and around boats, boaters get 1 hour of enjoyment……..Add in RUclips and it goes up to 8 to 1 ratio…..Happy Easter
Love it!! Great family time!!
Almost worth it to load up a tanker truck with Bio-diesel and drive to the coast. Almost.
Just curious to know your reasoning as to why you would think the fuel prices were going to go down. I knew of a different reason that they would not, since November 2020

Thank you for so much awesome advice. This kind of advice is Greatly appreciated.
Brooke, if you just flew to a resort, you wouldn't have this great boat content!
Enjoy the Bahamas!
True!
It's 10 PM in the Netherlands so having a beer .
Enjoy that beer for us
Always look forward to your releases. But this music during the crossing had me dropping my phone 😴😴 and playing it off when the thud woke me up. Great stuff

@@ABOARDMERMAIDMONSTER great video. Sleepy music. But then, maybe I needed a nap.
So you drove on a mattress so what was the magic mattress that flies around haha just a joke ha have an excellent day and hope you're having an excellent Easter weekend
Another super video
Do you add the “half-fish” to the catch count??
Good question…. Do we?! Haha

Dan show him how to work that reel 😆 lol
WOW. Hard work but what a life.
Sweat blood tears. Worth it!
Looks like an N-80 you passed.
Sure was
It's great to be on the open water again. I feel much better now. Let's cruise. The hard work has paid off. Brandon, you are still holding the reel upside down.
Although you have chores, who doesn’t, you’re on vacation everyday.
🤣😂😂😂 good one! ❤️
And, I cry when I have to fill up our boat's 400 gallon diesel tank!
Don’t you want to consider a catamaran instead to avoid fuel headache ?
We’ve considered it but they still burn fuel and you still have two engines to maintain as well as sails and rigging. At the end of the day when we’ve calculated everything the savings costs is a wash.
What fuel discounts are you referring to?
For buying a surplus of fuel.
Do you mind me asking what Camera you are using to make your videos?
Canon R5
Thanks, keep posting I love watching your families journey.
How many gallons did it take to top off your tanks?
1700
Ouch
You gotta hate it when something else eats your lunch before you can.
I did it for my N47 in Bari last week. 2700Ltr for 2,18€/Ltr. aaaahhhhhhh.......
You might want to turn down this saturation you're getting a lot of brightness in your camera lens which makes you sort of glow and of glow and I mean really glow to where it almost hurts the eyes
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
You said a buck fifty a gallon???
Is that real or you made a mistake ???
Nope that is real!
In Europe the price is double ;)
I guess we can’t complain to much then
The guys caught fish for dinner
See what you do is you go ahead and more yourself close to a super yacht get yourself a super long garden hose that's the same color as the water if it's swim up to the Mega yacht he opened up the fuel hatch stup there fuel hatch stick the hose Into their fuel hatch and fill up your Is YATCH from it And make sure you do this at the dead of night
Fish got ate by something bigger lol sheesh...
Warning it will never go down while he's in wake up
Yep fuel is nuts.... Stinks...
Dang
Time to trade that for a sailboat
It’s crossed my mind that’s for sure
"I Don't Have Much Authority" he says as his head swayed from side to side. A phrase not often heard from a Captain. 😁😳😳😁
Actually Brooke is the licensed Captain in the family.
Boom!! Hahaha
@@ABOARDMERMAIDMONSTER thats awesome!!!
Savy
You have bananas on your boat??? Don’t believe in superstitions I take it? 😂
Haha yes banana bread, banana smoothies. We must be bananas 🤪😂
you can always thank let's go Brandon and his supporters for the prices and shortages of EVERYTHING!! Have a great time the Bahamas !!

Farewell.
New game - Diesel roulette. It must be a financial killer to boat in this economic environment.
I sure liked Mr. President Trump's gas prices way over joe's prices.

Well it's time to switch from diesel to nuclear batteries and turn the thing into an electric yacht
Biden did that....your fuel costs.

Woe u really thought fuel would go down ? Uou must of thought biden would be removed from office hahhaaha
Thank the democrats for the fuel price, STOP DRILLING!
Pre- Biden, $1.50 a gallon Now, $5.99 a gallon How do you "adjust" your budget for that?
