    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.

    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....

  • @emeraldmorningmist
    @emeraldmorningmist 2 года назад +2

    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?

    • @ABOARDMERMAIDMONSTER
      @ABOARDMERMAIDMONSTER  2 года назад +2

      We allow engines to warm up until they reach about 175 degrees. Takes like 15 min. And no additives really.

    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 ❤️!

      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.
