Glad to see that you chose to stop over in 🇯🇲 Jamaica, a big welcome to you. The coast guard inspections are standard procedure as they constantly have to be on the lookout for both drug and gun smugglers. So sorry that you both had a hard time dealing with bureaucracy and immigration issues. Sigh. I hope that doesn’t deter you guys from coming back again. Jamaica is a beautiful place to explore and enjoy.
I am just realizing how unfree sailing the oceans are and you better have dat paper bitter lol. Was thinking how liberating it would be to get a yacht and sail the world but the more I look into it the more I think a cabin in the woods might be a better fit 😂
We feel the freedom when we leave a country... And a little excitement but usual apprehension when we arrive... Wondering what hoops we will have to jump thru.
Well they can’t just have people just Sailing into their country ! They knew they should always have their papers for every port they go into ! That’s how people smuggle drugs and guns into people’s country ! So the coast guard had a right to check their asses Hmm 😡
If I bought a boat I would buy a cruising yacht and just do the Great Loop up and down the coast and up and down in Mississippi River I wouldn't have to worry about jumping through all those fucking hoops stay down south in the summer I mean in the winter and go back up north in the summer I can have fun doing that and living on my boat and I wouldn't have to jump through all those fucking Hoops to go to the countries I really don't give a shit about anyway I mean it would be great to visit all those Tropical Islands but they have to spend that kind of money just to dock there for 2 weeks I see some of these videos were they have to pay to stop there and then they have to pay again to leave the country screw that shit you're screwed up little island doesn't mean that much to me
Woah . . my heart was pumping when you were inspected at sea. . . . you guys handled it well. I had an aggressive inspection at sea by the Japan Coast Guard. . finally after 3 hours, I was allowed to go to port. after I safely moored my boat in the fishing harbor and went looking for a meal in a local bar ( izakaya). To my surprise the only other customer was an officer from the coast guard ship. LOL. He greeted me like a long lost brother and the next 3 days took me sightseeing!! Lol
Omg I’m so sorry to see you sailed right past my place, twice!!! 😱 oh that would’ve been so lovely to see you and help you out with everything! Come back soon!
I was a sailor at Brazilian Navy, and aleatory inspections are a necessity. Sometimes trafic dealers are very violent thought. No problem here. It happens. And about the filming of the operation, 2 points of view. One: It's important for your safety, in case they're bad people, military or not. Second: It could be dangerous to them to have HOW the operation rolls on the web. Bad guys can use that intel against them. It's always a pleasure to see theses videos of yours. See you!
I just love your carefree approach to daily life at sea. Most anything can be overcome if you only have all documents uptodate. A seamans book is sometimes more valueable than any passport. Kingston was a stop on my first circumnavigation and had a short visit up to Montego Bay. All the best to both of you.
Hi Jamie, it's frustrating to say the least, those issues around visa's and Princess's passport. I can empathise with you, as my beautiful wife is Thai. Before she gained her Australian citizenship and subsequently her Australian passport, travel was frustrating - we too were "world travellers"; we actually cycled through 18 countries over three years. The OZ passport made a world of difference. Best Wishes to you both.
I dont just jump to “systemic racism.” As that implies victimhood. I dont think it is “that shallow.” What i think is that it is preferencial treatment of people from other, wealthier countries. I experience the same thing in Indonesia as i am charged 4 times as much to see a dentist or to see a temple. I dont think that is racism as much as extortion. I can enter Indonesia with a VOA for $38. But it took 2 years to bring my wife here legally. So one coukd say “discrimination based on nationality” but it goes both ways, just different. My point is, dont get yourself down and i know you have the best wife on earth like i do. Keep your chin up.
I will watch the episode tonight, as I’m actually sailing today, but I had a very bad experience with Jamaïque 🇯🇲 at the beginning of the cov** madness… we were evicted from Cuba where we was legally checked in since a little less of two month and we had to divert to Jamaïque because of the weather conditions, they were awful 😢 I’m still on medication 💊 2 year after because of the PTSD this experience cause me. Big negotiations between my French embassy and the Jamaican prime minister, for nothing, we had to leave for 11 days of sea to reach Saint Martin. Without much food, without much water without fuel. Without options to stop underway.
And it was on Montego Bay… ho my god… and for information we was also in a visa situation with my Venezuelan girlfriend, French embassy helped me but of course we don’t hear about Vénézuela embassy. My embassy was thinking to extract me with a cargo / humanitarian fly but it was trough USA and she can’t go their in anyway…
Just found your channel. Im in my 70s now and when I was in my early 20s I grew up in Wisconsin and would go to Jamaica in January. Did that for quite a few years. Ocho Rio's...loved it! Enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I am sure you had your papers in order to stop in Jamaica port but they had no respect for Jamaica trying to treat them like third class country and not finding out ahead what they needed , to do , to stop in their port but yet all their papers were in order to stop in the United State so they should have found out what they needed to stop in Jamaica so they got what they deserved from the Jamaican authorities ! Hmm 🤔
@@chocolatequeen5953 you’re here too? Are you serious? Girl, your profile picture is nails. Is all you do sit at home and write mean comments about people? Talk about negative preconceptions of others. Sheesh 😂 Leave Jamie and Princess alone, they’re out living their best lives while you’re trying to put them down to make yourself feel better. Get out of your man’s house and make videos about your own personal life, see how many people scrutinize your choices. Here’s a good place to start: work on your personality more than you work on your nails. 💅🏻 “Hmm 🙄” 😂 you’re funny.
Not sure if it is the favorite drink in Jamaica, but I sure love their Red Stripe. It's Beer! Always a bit unnerving to get boarded I imagine, but they seemed friendly soon enough. Happy trails.
Jaimie & Princess,i've Been meaning to catch up with ya and express my appreciation for being able to share such wonderful experiences with such fine folk's as yourselves..you guy's wedding was amazing, Princess looked so beautiful and well J.,u looked pretty sharp ya'self .. 'LuvU2 Awesome people!!'... please be safe..an have a blast..your friend..chris t -💙🤺💙🤺💙✔️💯%..😇😎😉😇.
I notice you trying to calculate actual travelled distance from the great circle distance given by your navigation system. There is a trick that has a mathematical backbone - add the square root of the as the crow flies distance eg 400+20. Then if you apply your estimated average speed to this slightly longer distance you also get a better estimated journey time. If currents tides ignored and head wind constant then it also shows that whether you do a big tack or a series of short one it makes no difference to this calculation.
Their funny little "Navy." Sending men for boarding operations who have no clue about boats, haha. That's funny. 15:48 Jamaicans are the nicest people man. We have a taxi driver/tour guy we hire every time we go and hire him and he drives us wherever we want and suggest other places, we eat dinner with his family, stop at his swim holes from when he was a kid. Tells us stories etc. It used to JUST be us at the most beautiful spring swimming hole. But last time we went it was beginning to be commercialized... for the public. But yeah, that's the best way to experience Jamaica honestly. Find a nice driver who wants to share the country with you.
I feel your pain with Visa requirements! My GF holds a Venezuelan passport and needs a Visa for many of the locations we have visited including Trinidad last year and then most recently the ABCs. Now we are in Colombia and stuck until we can sort a Visa for Panama and then Mexico. I’m curious how the Seaman Book has worked so far. Apparently it was not accepted in Jamaica, so where have you found success using that??
I was wondering if you could share how you found out about the Mumby design. I hadn't heard of it since I started watching your videos. I've also been looking at performance cruising catamarans for years and hadn't found one that I really liked till I saw your channel. So basically, my story is the same as yours for looking at dagger boards, thin hulls, light weight, strong hulls and wanted to be able to beach it but didn't think that was possible till I saw your videos. I just spent the last 4 days without power due to a wind storm that knocked out our power witch sucks. As soon as this plandemic is over with, I'm going to either start building my Mumby or purchase one.
I got the sailing bug about a year ago after going out on a friend's boat a few times. Now I am in the market for a boat, I like a lot of things about your boat. I do not like the idea of crossing the ocean in essentially a fiberglass bath tub. I have pretty much decided on an aluminum hull boat. I own a decent sized metal fabrication business so I could build a boat myself. I just need someone to design a hull for me. Does Tim Mumby sell just the blueprints for the hull? I definitely want a fast boat but I would like more electronics. I want to build a hybrid propulsion system utilizing 2 small gas turbine engines that are only used to drive generators and I was thinking about using electric pods for propulsion. I like the idea of electric pods that can also function as generators when under sail. I really want a boat that is capable of 25kts under power.
@@SailingLifeonJupiter the cheap ones yes, but you can buy them to and never even have to visit that country. but of course.. those start at around 100k usd. mostly caribbean countries and i think there are some eastern european countries around that price. forget the first world ones, those are around 1 mil or higher.
Im not sure if this is the double hull yatch named jupiter that they've lost their alluminum paddle in port barton palawan philippines and i found it in the shore and return it to the owner that was last 2010 i think.
Genuine question : it seems like your not using the sail much on big weather, is it because you on a hurry to reach your destination upwind (Montego) ?
So what do we need to do to get Princesses paperwork str8 .. can I help in anyway. I'm sorry guy's. I'm gonna be honest Jamaica doesn't want sailboat visiting I've noticed no matter what vessel it is. If it isn't for bizness reasons ... Forget it. Sorry guy's... Better times ahead... ✌🏻💗😊⛵
Great episode as always guys, but these last 2 vids were very long, anything over 25 minutes is too much IMO. If you can, visit Negril, that place rocks!
Who’s fault is that but their own because of their lack of respect for Jamaica, why they went through what they did , they thought they could just stopped in Jamaica port no question asked because they assume they were third would country but aha 😤 they learned a valuable lesson for next time if there ever is a next ! The same way they did their research to stop in the US port and had all the right documents , they should have done their research on Jamaica and have all the right documents then they would not have had the hiccup that they had ! Hmm 😤
Certainly might have raised suspicions... Not sure what their regs say... But most countries don't expect you to have ais unless you're over a certain tonnage.
There was a question asked that told me everything I could ever need to know about those who desire to control our lives, the question was " What is this boat for" they are clearly as thick as bricks.
How do you plan to protect yourselves from pirates with no weapons on board im curious? And what would of happened if you said yes I have weapons for self defense?
That's a frequent discussion with cruising folk... If you are brought up knowing and handling weapons then you're almost certain to carry them. Of course you probably won't admit that to the authorities because they will confiscate them.
Arriving someplace other than your reported destination sends a red flag to authorities. You should ha e put Jamaica on your list of destinations just in case you had to make an unplanned stop.
Port clearance doesn't allow any where except your destination... They were cool about that part... Its sort of on the way, and not un expected. Cheers Lawney
I wonder what would happen if a Pashtun like me arrived on a sailboat .just wondering you won't believe the amount of discrimination we get when we leave our country sad really
"THIS IS NOT THE WELCOME WE EXPECTED". Well, indeed, every country is different dude... They have to protect their borders! You are lucky they didn't go through your boat and check for drugs since you just sailed from Mexico. At least you can get into most countries without hindrances for admittance but Princess from a third world country don't have that privilege! There is another couple sailing the world as well. She is from Haiti and he is from Canada, she was denied entry into Portugal because of citizen status. But of course, he had no issue. Sad when another human being can't enjoy something they like just because of where they from...
I agree with you that all this is sad. Concerning Kika: she was denied acces because her Schengen visa had come to an end. Now, after a stay of some weeks outside Schengen space, in Gibraltar, she could enter Portugal with her new Visa. As far as I know, she's now in Spain. which requires exactly the same visa. A European tourist in the US or Canada will face exactly the same problem. He gets 90 days.
Damn well I’m getting out of all this and I love love sailing with you guys but I’m getting out of this is life will be easier if you go sailing with somebody that’s not a Filipino I think you guys should go in depth on why the rest of the world can cruise with no problem but the Filipinos have a problem but I guess as Americans are going to have the same problem here pretty quick if we don’t get our government squared away will be considered fifth world also and treated as such and that’s bullshit love you guys Keep the wind at your back in the drinks in your head
love the music so much! and that full moon was awesome. i wish the red tape wasn't so awful. it's a gorgeous island and i would love to see it through your eyes (and lenses). 🏴☠
Did not know that having your AIS off could mean "try to stay hidden"...DURING THE DAY come on! This rational makes non sense to me! In the meantime pirates continue to do their business...
Depends on the country. A British commonwealth country like Jamaica would not be looked upon well. Would definitely have to declare it and surrender it when entering the country.
I don't understand why they won't let Princess in to Jamaica, she can prove that she has travelled with you across oceans, and she has boat qualifications and is your wife. What is up with these countries. It almost seems racist to me. I don't understand what difference her country of origin makes.
It's government law, as a South African I can't visit Australia, New Zealand, Europe or the USA without a Visa, I'm European its not about race its about I wouldn't even attempt to visit those nations without a visa, its obvious I won't be allowed entry. The rule is don't take chances.....
Welcome to the world the world that you thought that you could escape. Drugs and everything else in the world so accept the pirates and or the searches. Your choice stop crying
Just saw and watched your channel for the first time....interesting, nice catamaran.....attractive couple. Jamaica was a bummer. Not sure when you actually went there...but I think all the requirements you referred to pertaining to covid have been lifter. As I mentioned previously, This's my first time watching your videos...I think you're Australian and Princess is probably from the Philippines, Jamaica has a long standing habit of just trying to extract every dollar as possible from visitors....and members of the authorities are looking for the same...$'s.. That's sad and the bureaucracy is even worse......if you had just listed her as a crew member and not in a relationship, maybe it would be better. As for being boarded, you were outside the exclusion Zone, without the camera it could have gone worse......question.., why board if they did not search the vessel? So many cruise ships travel to Jamaica almost every week and most of the staff are Filipinos, they go ashore without issues. Get my drift..? It's all about $'s..., they took your $80x2 =$160 for covid tests but Princess could not go ashore....? Ask yourself the question. Good luck and be safe.
@@SailingLifeonJupiter I'm now watching your journey up and down the Mississippi River, I live in the states and been to every state except Hawaii, just returned from Europe....but I envy what you guys are doing. Be safe in your journeys but enjoy, take care of the princess...
I don't understand why they won't let princess in it's not like your one to move there and buy a house and live there forever you're just staying a week or two and leaving what the fucks the problem here
Well Coast guard is going to hate me cuz nobody's going to come my boat with a gun. I don't care what you are or where you come from ..... My boat my rules
Yeah Eric I'd like to be like that... But it's a balancing act.. The more you resist, it appears you have something to hide. I've found cooperation works best for us.
@@SailingLifeonJupiter well if I don't have a weapon to defend myself I'm going to make it an equal playing ground and second of all I don't belong to no fucking corporation I have the right to use any damn waterway that I choose to do so black log dictionary common law and when you come aboard my vessel you answer a different jurisdiction a different Nation
@@wayne9585 definitely not that I stand up for my rights the law says I don't have to hop them do their investigation and they cannot force me to do it and that's your right so if you want to be a boot licker you go ahead be a boot licker not me

Sounds interesting Shawn.. Yep Mumby has plans...if you email us at Svjupiter2@gmail.com I'll give you the details.
A lot of these boardings are for their practice at going out on their rib!
Probably... A little notice would be nicer for our experience tho!
sounds like you guys need to look into getting a second citizenship at least for princess to open up a bunch of countries she doesn't have access to.
That takes a lot of years or a lot of money for a substandard citizenship, or a fortune for a good one.
That is easier said than done. I doubt it possible at all while continuing to travel.
Yeah NK, we're looking into it... but it appears that we have to settle somewhere. We prefer to be "unsettled"!
@@SailingLifeonJupiter the cheap ones yes, but you can buy them to and never even have to visit that country. but of course.. those start at around 100k usd. mostly caribbean countries and i think there are some eastern european countries around that price. forget the first world ones, those are around 1 mil or higher.
Im not sure if this is the double hull yatch named jupiter that they've lost their alluminum paddle in port barton palawan philippines and i found it in the shore and return it to the owner that was last 2010 i think.
I was there... But in about 2016..so not my paddle... You still got it?
Sure you're long gone but try the Appleton Estate rums. I found them outstanding.
Ahh... Keep watching! Cheers Jim
Well the JDF coastguard officers were really professional i think. not sure what happened after the cameras stopped but before it was pretty good.
Yep Jason they were cool... Just didn't appreciate the machine guns.
@@SailingLifeonJupiter yeh we have a major crime problem and a lot of the issues come in by sea so the machine guns are SOP for marine interdictions.
New Watching Great Attitudes Lovely Couple
Thanks Arthena... Welcome aboard.
That's what happens when you live on Jupiter and aliens board the ship??🇨🇦😄
Clingons on the starboard bow!
Genuine question : it seems like your not using the sail much on big weather, is it because you on a hurry to reach your destination upwind (Montego) ?
Now that I have seen it I am so sorry especially for princess I wanted her to have a Red strip Beer 🇯🇲🇺🇲❤️
Keep watching Balmaine... It all works out in the end.
So what do we need to do to get Princesses paperwork str8 .. can I help in anyway. I'm sorry guy's. I'm gonna be honest Jamaica doesn't want sailboat visiting I've noticed no matter what vessel it is. If it isn't for bizness reasons ... Forget it. Sorry guy's... Better times ahead... ✌🏻💗😊⛵
Tks Donna...there's a few nationalities in the same boat... We're working on getting her an Aussie passport but it takes years.
Just found you and love your carefree way of filming. Love your choice of music. Where can I download it?
Welcome aboard Neil. We buy it from Epidemicsound.com... But still takes some searching to find good tunes.
Search Bob Marley
exciting times ;0)
Certainly had the blood pressure rise on that one Jim
Great episode as always guys, but these last 2 vids were very long, anything over 25 minutes is too much IMO.
If you can, visit Negril, that place rocks!
Hehe. Yep.. Just experimenting with the long format... It was recieved well actually with more watch time. But.... Its soooo much work.
@@SailingLifeonJupiter That's good then, and I bet as that is a lot of work to put these together.
Another great ep guy's! Bummer about the passport issues
Time to get Princess and Aussie Passport! Or at least get the process started if you can.
Yup. Working on that.
@@SailingLifeonJupiter I become one a couple of months ago..... All done online. If you need help, let me know.
Who’s fault is that but their own because of their lack of respect for Jamaica, why they went through what they did , they thought they could just stopped in Jamaica port no question asked because they assume they were third would country but aha 😤 they learned a valuable lesson for next time if there ever is a next ! The same way they did their research to stop in the US port and had all the right documents , they should have done their research on Jamaica and have all the right documents then they would not have had the hiccup that they had ! Hmm 😤
@@chocolatequeen5953 girl you trifling
😂 hmm 🤔
Leave Jamie and Princess alone and go make videos yourself
AIS was off. Maybe that's what made them come out to you?
Certainly might have raised suspicions... Not sure what their regs say... But most countries don't expect you to have ais unless you're over a certain tonnage.
There was a question asked that told me everything I could ever need to know about those who desire to control our lives, the question was " What is this boat for" they are clearly as thick as bricks.
Yeah.. I guess not many cruising boats in their world. Cheers Mike
"that's not check-in! that's a check-UP!" haha! new sub here. i haven't sailed the ocean since i was 9yrs old.
Hehe.. Cheers for that.
they are not aggresive they are cautious, smugglers are on the rise so its understandable
Yeah apparently lots of drug running on the south coast... They were good guys... Just didn't appreciate the machine guns.
At certain angles you remind me of the young Tom Jones a bit.
How do you plan to protect yourselves from pirates with no weapons on board im curious? And what would of happened if you said yes I have weapons for self defense?
That's a frequent discussion with cruising folk... If you are brought up knowing and handling weapons then you're almost certain to carry them. Of course you probably won't admit that to the authorities because they will confiscate them.
Arriving someplace other than your reported destination sends a red flag to authorities. You should ha e put Jamaica on your list of destinations just in case you had to make an unplanned stop.
Port clearance doesn't allow any where except your destination... They were cool about that part... Its sort of on the way, and not un expected. Cheers Lawney
16:17 The race is on!!
Hehe... I think we will let them win.
If you come to the UK by boat they give you money and a free Hotel
Can we bring all our friends and family? Hehe.
Enjoy every minute of your freedom to travel. We will see that completely disappear in our lifetime. I hope I’m wrong… but I doubt it.
Certainly getting challenging at times... Cheers ETS
I wonder what would happen if a Pashtun like me arrived on a sailboat .just wondering
you won't believe the amount of discrimination we get when we leave our country sad really
I can only imagine... That is sad.
Oh man that sucks😖
Just a little alarming.. That's all.. Cheers Lyndon
Australian and filapina??? 🫵😳👍😇🎲🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈💼
You guessed it! Cheers Daniel
Face Diaper 🤣🤣
Hehe. Hate em.
The coast guard seemed to be easy going, they could had been alot more harder .
Yep. Thankful for that.
? would rope cutters on the props be useful / safer?
Sure.. Would be a good idea.
Hey guys, is this your last contribution? You seem to have gone quiet, I hope all is well with you.
"THIS IS NOT THE WELCOME WE EXPECTED". Well, indeed, every country is different dude... They have to protect their borders! You are lucky they didn't go through your boat and check for drugs since you just sailed from Mexico.
At least you can get into most countries without hindrances for admittance but Princess from a third world country don't have that privilege! There is another couple sailing the world as well. She is from Haiti and he is from Canada, she was denied entry into Portugal because of citizen status. But of course, he had no issue. Sad when another human being can't enjoy something they like just because of where they from...
It does make us sad Jean... We are working on a stronger passport for Princess... But it will take many years.
@@SailingLifeonJupiter Bureaucracy and red tapes suck...Did she have any issues entering Mauritius?
I agree with you that all this is sad. Concerning Kika: she was denied acces because her Schengen visa had come to an end. Now, after a stay of some weeks outside Schengen space, in Gibraltar, she could enter Portugal with her new Visa. As far as I know, she's now in Spain. which requires exactly the same visa. A European tourist in the US or Canada will face exactly the same problem. He gets 90 days.
🇯🇲🇺🇲
Boat’s has no value on the water….🙃🙃🙃
Sorry to hear Princess was not accepted, ridiculous.
She certainly feels low, with her passport status.. We are doing our best to get her an Aussie one, but will take years.
Damn well I’m getting out of all this and I love love sailing with you guys but I’m getting out of this is life will be easier if you go sailing with somebody that’s not a Filipino I think you guys should go in depth on why the rest of the world can cruise with no problem but the Filipinos have a problem but I guess as Americans are going to have the same problem here pretty quick if we don’t get our government squared away will be considered fifth world also and treated as such and that’s bullshit love you guys Keep the wind at your back in the drinks in your head
Thanks Jonny...yeah there's a few YT sailors with similar problems... the south africans...haitians.
love the music so much! and that full moon was awesome. i wish the red tape wasn't so awful. it's a gorgeous island and i would love to see it through your eyes (and lenses). 🏴☠
Keep watching bunnygoil... We got to see a bit.
Ice houses John Stevens 1979 album Jezebel Montego bay
Ahh... I didnt know he did a version.... I googled the original by Bobby Bloom
@@SailingLifeonJupiter Also the one you heard it Australia. Montego Bay by Allniters. André in Sydney
Evidently they don't like being filmed.
Funny that... Officials don't like cameras anywhere in the world!
Did not know that having your AIS off could mean "try to stay hidden"...DURING THE DAY come on! This rational makes non sense to me! In the meantime pirates continue to do their business...
Yeah...bit of a dig there...but they were nice guys.
What happened if you had got a gun in boat? With the pirates I'll be more happy with one.
Depends on the country. A British commonwealth country like Jamaica would not be looked upon well. Would definitely have to declare it and surrender it when entering the country.
You’ll go to jail. Then I’ll buy your boat lol
I don't understand why they won't let Princess in to Jamaica, she can prove that she has travelled with you across oceans, and she has boat qualifications and is your wife. What is up with these countries. It almost seems racist to me. I don't understand what difference her country of origin makes.
Definitely racism...but perfectly legal... Cheers Chris
Kika on Sailing Uma has the same problems.
Canada does the same to some people.
It's government law, as a South African I can't visit Australia, New Zealand, Europe or the USA without a Visa, I'm European its not about race its about I wouldn't even attempt to visit those nations without a visa, its obvious I won't be allowed entry. The rule is don't take chances.....
yeah, they were wearing masks and goggles to maintain personal anonymity -- camera = not happy.
Funny that. But typical of all officialdom.
🎊 𝐩яⓞ𝓂𝓞Ş𝐦
Sooo..don't sail near Jamaica. How much was their bribe?
Actually they seemed to be above board... British commonwealth.... So their bribes were all legal!
@@SailingLifeonJupiter 😄
😅
Welcome to the world the world that you thought that you could escape. Drugs and everything else in the world so accept the pirates and or the searches. Your choice stop crying
First armed search after 4 years of world sailing... Think I'm entitled to comment... And its certainly proven to be a popular video. Cheers
Just saw and watched your channel for the first time....interesting, nice catamaran.....attractive couple. Jamaica was a bummer. Not sure when you actually went there...but I think all the requirements you referred to pertaining to covid have been lifter. As I mentioned previously, This's my first time watching your videos...I think you're Australian and Princess is probably from the Philippines, Jamaica has a long standing habit of just trying to extract every dollar as possible from visitors....and members of the authorities are looking for the same...$'s..
That's sad and the bureaucracy is even worse......if you had just listed her as a crew member and not in a relationship, maybe it would be better. As for being boarded, you were outside the exclusion Zone, without the camera it could have gone worse......question.., why board if they did not search the vessel? So many cruise ships travel to Jamaica almost every week and most of the staff are Filipinos, they go ashore without issues. Get my drift..? It's all about $'s..., they took your $80x2 =$160 for covid tests but Princess could not go ashore....? Ask yourself the question. Good luck and be safe.
Hey thanks Earl... Yes we got that impression about Jamaica... Loved the locals tho.
@@SailingLifeonJupiter I'm now watching your journey up and down the Mississippi River, I live in the states and been to every state except Hawaii, just returned from Europe....but I envy what you guys are doing. Be safe in your journeys but enjoy, take care of the princess...
She is abeautiful woman
Yes I dangled her in front of the guy with the gun... To keep him distracted... Hehe
I don't understand why they won't let princess in it's not like your one to move there and buy a house and live there forever you're just staying a week or two and leaving what the fucks the problem here
It's happened to us before Clayborn Lewis, and will happen again. Philippines passport is not well accepted.
How would they know your intentions?
Well Coast guard is going to hate me cuz nobody's going to come my boat with a gun. I don't care what you are or where you come from
..... My boat my rules
Yeah Eric I'd like to be like that... But it's a balancing act.. The more you resist, it appears you have something to hide. I've found cooperation works best for us.
@@SailingLifeonJupiter well if I don't have a weapon to defend myself I'm going to make it an equal playing ground and second of all I don't belong to no fucking corporation I have the right to use any damn waterway that I choose to do so black log dictionary common law and when you come aboard my vessel you answer a different jurisdiction a different Nation
Please...what are you going to do? Stop acting like a tough guy....
@@wayne9585 definitely not that I stand up for my rights the law says I don't have to hop them do their investigation and they cannot force me to do it and that's your right so if you want to be a boot licker you go ahead be a boot licker not me
@@ericcamacho4626 if you're in their water they have a right to board.
Glad you guys got the chance to come down 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 come check out my villa by the yacht club in Montego Bay @ceoofmobay
We enjoyed it there. Cheers CoM
