That winch got Mcdazzled... Darren on repair and Meg on forecasting and recon, what a team. Another wonderfully heartfelt, educational and technical episode. Thank you, your both legends. ⚓⛵
WOW! McDazzle or McGuyver! Dude can fix anything! And I know what you mean Meg. My cancer has put the breaks on a few things financially, for the time being, but we just keep on truckin! Best of luck in that weather, stay safe!
Oh Meg. I wanted to crawl through my monitor and give you a hug. You are so worth every precious cent you spend on your health. You yourself have taught me that love and living are far more important than things afterall. From one kiwi sailer to another, may you have fair winds and following seas. And the very best of health (which goes without saying). Love you guys xoxo
Darren is amazing. And Meg don't feel guilty. I'm pretty sure Darren will do everything and anything to keep you by his side. First come health and love.
I still can't figure out why you only have 10k subs!!! Even when you had my eyes tearing up, you have a smile a mile wide on your face! You are both blessed beyond question!! I wish I could do a little more to help. Thanks for sharing your lives with us!! God bless!!
That is life Meg. I have been there, I took care of my beautiful wife for 11 years , 34 operations, three types of cancer ,epilepsy and a colonoscopy bag, So much to contend with, so hang in there you 2 and lean on one another for support Please dont think i am complaining, appart from those problems we had 50 great years together. sometimes its good to hear other peoples stories. Take care just hang in there.
for better or worse, richer or poorer, sickness and health.... that's what love is. Darren is a good man and would have you over any old anchor winch anyday...
Hallo Darren and Meg! Just recently caught up with you! Really fudging amazing to see parts of the world, through your eyes, that I could never personally experience! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us! All love, and best wishes to you both! Please stay in good health! Claire, Sally (older Golden Retriever), and Lucy, 'the boss cat!' Take care!✌😘😘😘
Love you guys, always praying for you, you are an amazing woman and WORTH all that can be done to keep you around for a very long time, Darren is an amazing man and I am encouraged by his support of you, a man I would love to meet someday!!! ... I notice this is a little over 6 months ago as Oma went through in February 12-23, as it turned out went South and then East to New Caledonia as a low...So glad you all were protected and OK as I have seen you all in the past hunker down in the Mangroves before, and that was a bit harry I'd say...
I'm glad you watched. you guys are very resourceful people. in my country, about 100 years ago, the history of aviation started by sailors. Because sailors know how to use tools,they know how to fix, they're resourceful and smart. I wish you many years of happiness.
I have just discovered your channel and I'm delighted to make your acquaintance. Real sailors doing your stuff, and explaining as you go. Well done and rock on. My wife and I are quietly setting up to do something similiar.
Can I just add when you said you e been an expensive wife I thought immediately that you’ve been a “priceless” wife. A partner of your caliber, attitude and love for her husband doesn’t compare to a winch or a boat. All that can wait. Focus on your happiness and love for each other. That’s what matters in the end. Speedy recover! Keep a positive attitude, it’s a huge part of beating whatever it is. 😘
Meg, don't be sad. It's normal to feel the way you do when you know that the majority of resources are flowing in your direction. But, that's why I love your channel so much. You and McDazzle/My Honey are probably the best example I know of two people having a grasp of social connection in the reality of life. When we commit to another human/animal, we know something will break down whether it's our body or something mechanical. This is the story of life. I am glad you and McDazzle/My Honey have a mature grasp on that. You are there for each other in the storms as well as sunshine. It's about how we finish this journey called life. Love you and My Honey so much. (I think My Honey's name is Darren or is it McDazzle? Love your nick names, so I'm using them in the first person. :-) .)
My husband and I are going through the same financially I just had major foot surgery and my husband a pancreatic cancer survivor who has dietbies now. So we pay a lot out for medical bills and put other things aside. Its been really hard. Sending positive thoughts and prayers.
You are both awesome! Lady you are worth every bit of the money! I wish that we could help so much! But we are raising grandchildren and working full time with no help. You two help us live the dream that we have! Thank you both SO MUCH! And YOU stay healthy and keep living our dream that we can't have. Thank you both! And GOD speed!
Whoa whoa whoa!!!! Money in life is for our loved ones. That is what it is for. A winch is a winch is a winch. It's not as big a priority. Our loved ones are number one. Geez we can always get a winch.
I just came upon your Channel and wow he's amazing how he did that. Good on you mate. Greetings from a Brit Living in Southern California. best of everything to both of you. Now to catch up on all the videos you have made. cheers. Andy
Never blame your self that is life for sure and darren wouldn't care the least he definitely wouldn't like that lifestyle if he wasn't sharing it without you keep it up and fair winds and blue skies and calm waters for your wonderful journey
You need to, must do all you can to preserve your health. One's health is everything. I wish you the best and good luck with maintaining your physical self.
I like the way you ground down the Armature it looks like you nailed it LOL. LOVE YA Fairwinds stay safe best wishes in your health problems I know it's like damn health problems believe me
Another great video showing that sailing is always not a glamorous past time. Your concerns over the amount of money you're spending on your health are way off the mark. Batman needs Robin and Darren needs you. You will get by one way or another. Take care of each other and continue the good life.
I know what's it like to be constantly cruising and having to repair anything and everything regardless of how many pennies you have to your name. But behind every man there is always a good woman. If that woman can pull an engine apart and put back together again without the manuals (they had disappeared into the dark void where everything disappears too) while the man in her life is sorting out some other major or minor issue, then they have a bond that is hard to break. All this can be happen when the weather decides to go to custard and you needed things to work yesterday. This I can speak from experience after many a time at sea and now having a partner who looks at life the same way I do. Problem! What problem? I only see a solution. With out her I would either have "crossed the bar" or worse, be on the beach.
Dont feel responsible for your health costs. Its the most important 'cost' you have! Having spare brushed Dazzle! Thats the way! And a ciggy lighter solderer. Brill! So where did you end up?
The real challenges of cruising are actually just one challenge: Money. If you dont have enough money, your dream becomes a nightmare, especially when you grow older. One has to be realistic. Unfortunately. Peter Pan is only for kids.

I have serious workshop envy! Better to be poor and happy Meg ,than to worry about something you have no control over! You are worth every penny😘👍
Darren is amazing. And Meg don't feel guilty. I'm pretty sure Darren will do everything and anything to keep you by his side. First come health and love.

That's the beauty of the old winch motors,you can usually do something with them if you have half a clue,good one Daz

It's amazing what a couple of 40-somethings can do when you put your minds to it. Keep on cruisin'!
Never blame your self that is life for sure and darren wouldn't care the least he definitely wouldn't like that lifestyle if he wasn't sharing it without you keep it up and fair winds and blue skies and calm waters for your wonderful journey
Like my mate says. “If they don’t find you handsome, make sure they find you handy”. Love you guys!
Ur an absolute delight to watch & listen to!
Good video. Prayers for your health Meg. Meg you are looking well. Great job by Darren.
Love the glasses Meg,you are a silver fox!Nice to see more of D on camera! Cheers
You 2 are so professional on the way you sail and work well done guys
Another lovely video from a lovely couple ... Great fixit job done on the winch motor
You need to, must do all you can to preserve your health. One's health is everything. I wish you the best and good luck with maintaining your physical self.
We'd rather have you around moaning about the old winch than the other option thank you. Well done again my honey!
There is no better feeling for a man than when a woman appreciates what he has done for her!! Good on ya!!!
Dave Keuroglian And visa-versa😁
I like the way you ground down the Armature it looks like you nailed it
LOL. LOVE YA
Fairwinds stay safe best wishes in your health problems I know it's like damn health problems believe me
I love your channel.... you both are so positive! Your hubby is quite the MacGyver 😁 Looking forward to more adventures
totally reminds me of my husband Chris. Lol they are the type of couple we aspire to be
Another great video showing that sailing is always not a glamorous past time. Your concerns over the amount of money you're spending on your health are way off the mark. Batman needs Robin and Darren needs you. You will get by one way or another. Take care of each other and continue the good life.
Just found your site, you two are wonderful, I have seldom come across such a loving couples, we could all be so lucky.
That brush had heaps left in it! 😃That cyclone was back in March,someone's a little behind!
Tehe! Yes the running to real time thing just isn't feasable as we need time to sail. If you follow our social media you will see how that works 👍
I’m enjoying your adventure! We are heading out today to look at a sailboat! We hope to take adventures also!
Health is always the main priority things like a winch can always be bought 2nd hand in good condition
He always saves the day! good job! ;)
Good job !!!
I like the little work space can we see how you set that up please .
Check out our 'Boat Tour' video Stephen 👍
excellent! Great video thanks so much for all the cool tips! love you guys!
Just found you two - absolutely love you both xx
Brilliant video per usual. The mind is an imperfect tool and guilt is one of its biggest flaws.
You two are such a lovely couple.
Get Darren a mini torch for his birthday, they are invaluable onboard and soldering big items is a cinch with them.
Top stuff Daz!!!!
Very nice video guys first time watching you looking forward to seeing your travels good luck from the USA Cheers
LIFE/HEATH or new anchor winch.....easy....LIFE....you can always fix/repair stuff

Yes it's one of those extras we want to be able to use a paid service for when we are able to fund it. They are top notch.
