Just a delight to see you on the beach, waves breaking, dinghy bobbing around. It’s where you belong. ;)
So happy to be here 🤗
I watched all your boatyard videos, you all kept going through some difficult times. Good to see you getting some good times.
Thanks for the catch up, Lee and Sara! SO SO SO happy to see you out on the water again. Hooray!!
Sara is glowing! Clearly you are where your ment to be.
Also noticed in Bella's video yesterday (as well as this one) that her cinematography has really elevated! ... Beautiful composition, keep up the great work & travel safe
Beautiful view! Thanks for catching us up! Glad you guys are back on the water!
It had to be hard financially and stressful fixing up your boat.. It gives me pause before we start refit on our boat.. Staying positive and working through the difficult moments.. You only live once and I don’t want to be on the same hamster wheel like everyone else.. great video. I do worry about my family and home schooling my boys and the home sickness my wife will have.. If Maria isn’t happy I don’t know what to do when that commitment of the refit happens.. She comes first. I guess every situation is different.. Thank you for inspiring us.
Enjoy your boat!
Nice to see you back in the water🎉.
Had laugh at “bringing a few little things.” 😂😂😂
It was only a few when we filmed this 🤣😬😅😉
How is kitty with being on the water?
Hi
Number one - horses don't attack (LOL). But if you've never owned one, you don't know that. I've owned a lot of them, and you do need to know what you are doing, but in general, there are no problem horses, only problem owners. You'll find a place in Mexico where you can ride them and see what it's all about. I can tell you this, I could have bought a reasonably nice Catamaran for what I've spent on horses over the last 30 years!
That being said, both horses and sailboats bring families together. While I enjoyed the horses, in retrospect, I say go with a sailboat. They don't eat every day when you are not riding them. The sailboat waits for you to decide to move when the wind is right.
It's been great watching you over the last couple of years, and the part I enjoyed the most about this video was that you were sitting on the beach, relaxing, and not doing anything else.
Now, go find some waves! You are headed in the right direction. Take care and safe sailing.
Dude if any animal feels threatened they will attack you and that includes horses. Being around horses that are used to people means your chances of being attacked are low but can still happen.
However wild horses who are leery of humans should be given their space or you can wind up in the hospital or dead. It happens so always have it on the back of your mind that they are wild so can if they want. Before you get all smug, yes I have experience around both domesticated and wild horses and wild animals in general.
So dont tell people something cant happen when it can and has.
Your family has persevered through a great challenge, congratulations! Wish the best for you all where ever the wind blows you.
Would be cool when you do your boat tour, if you could do before and then after with a bit about what you did to get it to the after.......
The effort was worth it, congratulations enjoy going south 👏
See you are presently on shore , where?
What a fabulous vlog this week. Wonderfully frank Q&A, so huge thanks for that. Looking forward to your next chapter ❤
Have an epic week and happy travels.
Well done. I hope you do the same line of questions in a like manner with Taj and Bella. Best wishes to you all.
With the waves on the background ♥️ you guys are amazing!!
Lee made the boat yard interesting because he took on new things for him and because they were new, for us also. WELDING was the biggy. . Its interesting that so many channels are building Alu boats when its gotten so expensive. Strange.
Congrats for escaping, at times it didn't look possible!
Seriously, and not knowing any of your true realities it looks to my wife and I you two have your kids for at least a couple more years. They've also arrived at a point where they've also been around. Point is, what a shame it would be to waste that time in the Caribbean. We spent 3 years there in the eighties and wouldn't go back from what we know now.
We also spent 4 years in both Northern and Southern Polynesia and would love to go back, but father time has caught up.
If you can swing it alot of Polynesia hasn't changed and your children will love you all the more in the future.
The Carib is what it is now and it's to bad. Go West , it's still there.
How did your kids adapted leaving their friends. How is the new boat running so far
Glad to see you guys out of the Boat Yard.
How's the hair implant process going?
I think that Covid got alot of folks into sailing and thus the marina fees have gone way up. Covid also caused shortages that caused prices to skyrocket in the past few years. I know I feel it here in Bara. I'm a ways south of you but should be heading for the sea latter this spring, hope to run into ya somewhere. Happy Trails, Dave S/V Tres Jolie
Beautiful family.
What size do you think is the largest sailboat, monohaul a person and or a couple can handle? And assuming money is not an issue?
Do you guys ever get any time alone?
Nice
Hey Guys been watching you guys from the start. If you turn left and go through the canal. Make another left and check out Bocas Del Toro. Panama. You won’t regret it get diving and surfing. One of my most favourite places in the world. Cheers
One question which repair that you did, that are you most proud of.
Glad to see 👀 ya'll back on the water 💧. And I hope to see 👀 your sails ⛵️ on the Horizon someday from our lanai.
So congratulations on getting back on the water 💧.
So until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii!
P.s. Madam Pele has come back to life. And she is giving us a Great lava show.
You can go to "Doing Hawaii" and watch live the volcano 🌋.
And watch some of the things on the Big Island.
Ooo, I almost forgot we have snow ❄️ on top of the mountain. So you can snow bord in the morning and watch the lave for lunch and then go surfing 🏄♀️ in the afternoon.
Search for a left break lil north of Puerto Vallarta called San Francisco's or a lil right called Saliditas , THANX FOR UR VIDEOS
☕️☕️
❤❤❤
Did you end up getting that ferro-cement boat? For me, that's my least favorite hull material. I'm about to build a Cyber 48.
Great episode :) Also, I was wrong. That shoutout was supposed to go on Friday nights upload, not next Wednesday. Got delayed and is going up today.
I hope you don't leave the cat behind, it has already grown to love you. We had to rehome our cat due to chemo issues and within 3 months it died from a broken heart the little older lady told us. It walked around crying and looking for us and wouldn't eat.
Love you guys. Keep up the good work 💪

Where do the children see themselves in say 2 or 5 years time?
How does it feel to put your life in a fish bowl for the world to see being on social media
Keep your chin up and realize that things are going to change fast. If I tell you what is going to happen very soon it will be taken down quickly by our overlords. Look out for the catamaran you would like and be ready to move fast. We are all going to have wealth very soon and you will have gold-backed funds but everything you want will go fast and there won't be much left to buy. They will have to build new things and we will have to wait for the process. A little birdy told me there are over 5000 med beds hiding in Lancaster Australia. We will have instant perfect health and youthfulness. They hid these beds for 82 years.
