    I spent my 20th in Turks and Caicos with my wife last September. Coming up in 21 next month and we’re stuck land side :( . I know some folks complain about the time lag of your content but I honestly find it refreshing to see new content that isn’t in the middle of COVID. Helps me look forward to better times. Thanks for sharing and happy belated anniversary!

    I saw your boarding ladder on the railing and I recalled that I had a line tied onto it and dangling over the side as a JUST IN CASE. Just in case your alone and slip off the deck, you then just swim to the ladder, give the line a tug and it unfolds and you get back on board without having to holler, "OOPS HELP". Just some of the things you can do to make your life aboard safer.

    You two are fun to watch as you discover the cruising world. We were once a green as you guys are. We sailed our O'day 25' with a 10 HP outboard, from Charleston, SC to Nassau and back thru the Abacos. My wife and I lived on our second boat (Endeavour 37') for 10 years. Most of that was spent in the Bahamas with several trips all the way back north to Lake Champlain northern NY. I wish we had the technology cruising boats have now (complete with Go-Pros and Drones). We did our video on VHS big tapes at a time when no-one had home video. We settled in the Norfolk, VA area as we sailed through many times and always felt good being here. We now have a 29 year old daughter and have gotten back into flying. We now own two aircraft (Cessna 170 and a Bonanza F33A). We flew the Bonanza to the Exumas for our 40th wedding anniversary. Keep posting your clips as we enjoy seeing and re-living cruising through your lens. Gary and Val of the SV Destiny.

      @@symphonyfarm2009 Lake Champlain is a great place in the summer. However, it freezes solid in the winter and that's the time to be in the Bahamas. We used to land our Cessna 140 on the ice in winter and taxi to the McDonalds in Plattsburgh for a hot coffee. Love the lake, but...... we went from a 25' to a 37' and really enjoyed the cruising life for 10 years aboard.

    This is probably the most inspirational video yet. It is an absolute dream of mine to get a boat and sail to the Bahamas with my family. The reason I asked in the past how you guys get income is because I need to figure out how to get there myself. Currently working on getting out of debt. After that will come a practice boat (17-28') to raise my son sailing, and then within the next 5-10 years I will get a big ol' boat like yours and sail out to sea.

    You should title this - “It’s all worth it”
    After the long river slog, re-stepping, re-rigging, the metal work disappointments and all the hard work the smiles on your faces in this episode we’re hard won and we’ll deserved.
    We’re a family of 4 under contract on a Tartan 37 and have so enjoyed watching ever episode, even the nerdy ones about batteries, sail design, windlass installations etc.
    We feel way more equipped to DIY improvements on our future boat and seeing the crystal clear Bahamian waters got us so excited to follow in your footsteps....errr follow in your wake.
    Thank you so much for sharing all of it from the gorgeous moments of cinematography to the tearful and frustrating ones.
    Keep up the great work.

    another quality episode! I know this was all done a while ago, but if you keep holding 'down' on the stick once it is over your hand, it will go into landing mode and drop back down to land on your hand and turn off. (tbh it might be worthwhile disabling the obstacle avoidance sensors since you're generally flying at higher altitude and in bright sun. Bright sun can confuse the obstacle sensors and they 'see' the sun as a blockage it can't get around - not great if it loses contact and goes into RTH while facing the sun and just sits there)

  • @rafaeldacruz4898
    @rafaeldacruz4898 4 года назад

    I know that we’re off by over a year, but...
    You can place a large zip tie on the drone, it makes it so much easier to make the first catch and prevent it from flying away from your hand.
    From there you can carefully work your hand up and grab it so the pilot can shut it down (or quickly turn it sideways to kills the engines)

      Hi Lauren and Kirk, you are a bit younger than me but an inspiration to make a dream come true. Our 2 children have already left home and now have a family of their own. For me and my wife, the plan came up last year to start working on our dream; buy a sailboat and go sailing. This also has some consequences, such as moving to another house near the open water IJsselmeer in Holland (Sailing Uma). I am still figuring out which sailboat it should be .. preferably easy to sail single-handed to the Caribbean;)
      It is also a wish to meet you one day, but the chances are slim ..
      Greetings, Martijn
