    Hi Troy & Pascale, I believe the reason everyone love your videos is that you both put your heart and sole into whatever you do whether it be sailing, gardening or farming and last but by no means least, being parents. I would love to follow your boat build Troy, I watch people building their own houses etc. with envy. Maybe if I was 40 years younger, I would have loved to give it a go. Now I am content with watching others do the hard work while I have a cup of tea and a sandwich. With my best wishes to you both & baby. From the UK.

    The sailing attracted me. Becoming attached to you, as individual people, keeps me coming back. You're interesting, and I like your style. Count me in. 👌

    I would like to see the boat build when it happens. As an amateur woodworker I can always learn from watching others and seeing how they tackle certain aspects. I think I have been following you two for over 5 years. Always enjoyable and interesting.

    Build the boat, you'll enjoy it. You'll have fun with it afterwards. And so will everybody else out here that watches you? Test the personal opinion from a sailor that has his own little boat. And I've done what you're doing. Keep up the good work.

    I don't watch FRL like I should but I'll be honest I miss the sailing. Happy for you both & you landlubbers do a great job with the farming. Happiness can take many forms. Cheers

    Being a grandparent is a whole other level of joy. You get to relive having little ones around you again. You get to watch all over again a child growing up.
    Documenting a boat build would be very interesting. I was wondering if you missed being on the boat. I do agree that having family around is so worth it for you and your child and possible future children.
    I wish you and yours good health and a pleasant Summer.

    Hi guys, thanks for the update on your ongoing Adventure. I knew when you got that place in Tasmania that the sailing days were numbered. You've done one hell of a job of the transition. The idea of building a boat at this time on RUclips is pretty good. Some of the main channels building boats have completed now. Salt and tar, Acorn to Arabella, and the huge tally ho project have all pretty much completed now. So there is a vacuum you can step into, Troy.

    Free range sailing was my first patreon. I love you guys. And, while I miss the sailing, it is wonderful to see you so fulfilled and happy. Much of how I sail is patterned on you guys. I even mill grains aboard. You two have been an inspiration. Also, please build a boat. That would be so fun. Do a little camp cruising Roger Barnes style.

    Hi Troy & Pascale! It's been a while that my partner Byron and I have followed your channel, but my/our first time leaving a comment - I just couldn't not share how much we appreciate you two and your videos. When Byron and I met, he was (and still is... because that's how that goes 😋) in the middle of refitting the sailboat that he grew up on with his family. I've always felt drawn to homesteading/permaculture/etc., so when you got your property and the channel content took a turn, I was so excited! I love that your channel is a perfect blend of the things that Byron and I love and want to learn more about. Actually, around the same time you moved onto your property, we bought our first house on 0.6 acres and have been slowly trying out new projects that we've dreamt of for years, for which you two have been a huge inspiration! Thank you so much for everything that you do, for sharing your knowledge and endeavors and learning experiences, and for the rare sense of kindred spirit-ship from afar. Love and gratitude from Washington State!

  • @chrismalkin4070
    @chrismalkin4070 Год назад

    I have followed you from the very beginning. Your channel, along with Matt and Amy on sailing Florence are streets ahead of the rest. A main reason is that you are genuinely lovely people displaying skills which most envy and learn from without you showing any ego or intentionally unfavourable comments. The result is that you are absolute pleasures to watch and follow. Continue to go well. I’ll be tagging along very happily.

    I watch several sailing you tubers and it’s interesting to see how their stories develop. Many and mostly couples go the route of bigger and more luxurious boats. Others and predominantly solo males keep going but are often happiest when they find company. You are different. There is a good balance between you. You seem authentic, adventurous and good at what you take on. You tell a thoughtful story and will always be watchable. You seem to intuitively make the right decisions together. That is your strength.

    I've always loved your channel. Keep up the good work. I remember my first year in college when I designed and built (without any experience or help) a 18' racing cat modled after a picture of a 20' Tornado cat. Sailed it in San Diego Mission Bay, Marina Del Rey CA & Ventura CA. Learned a lot in the process allowing me to sail in Florida on rented sailboats. Land or sea, you both always offer helpful advice and experience.
