The best thing we did was buy a 60 gallon water bladder and a copy of our 12 volt fresh water pump on the boat. You can fill the bag full right in the dinghy and then pump it directly into the tanks from the dinghy when you get back to the boat. The pump serves as our backup if the regular fresh water pump were to fail - it's a direct swap.
That was great. I'm so jealous of how you live your lives. Good on ya! I really enjoy your videos! I travel to the Caribbean two or three times a year. I will be watching for your boat. If I show up with a gang of rum and a bunch of Kalik, I hope that you will welcome me!
Been following you since the beginning! You know what I'd be interested in seeing? The "how to" of customs / immigration in different countries. What paperwork do you need? What do you need checking in and out? How long can you stay for? That type of thing. Thanks for doing this, I'm diggin' the new segment... Stay Safe!
Hey Tim great video! For your Canadian friends how about some info on; boat insurance, boat documentation (cruising permits etc.), safety gear (Cdn. vs. US), health care coverage. Thanks!
Great video. I love seeing how other's setups. How about your head? Composting or getting pumped out? What type and where to buy compost materials? This would be a great video I think.. Thanks for sharing.
Incredible video - extremely educational. You talked about the water for shower and head...just wondering how you manage waste...do you have a holding tank that another boat pumps you out or what do you do with "black" water? Thanks and great videos!
Great video Tim. RO water is handy...but not the best for you to drink all the time. It's refereed to as dead water......As stated, so-called dead water lacks energetics - trace minerals - as a consequence of the ostensibly advantageous filtration process. Without these desirable minerals, the water is left slightly acidic, typically in the range of 6.0 to 6.75 on the pH scale (although it can be even lower). One suspects that reverse osmosis water would be less popular if it were advertised as demineralised acidic water, rather than clean, contaminant-free H20! It’s all about perspective. The benefits of magnesium-rich, high-calcium water have been extolled by as impartial a source as the World Health Organisation, who published a lengthy report on the health risks associated with regularly drinking demineralised water. The WHO cited Czech and Slovak populations who used home RO systems as showing “signs of acute magnesium (and possibly calcium) deficiency” as well as “cardiovascular disorders, tiredness, weakness or muscular cramps.” Plentiful minerals imbue water with its necessary life energy, making the terminology of “dead water vs living water” rather apt. Pure living water is the type that is free of impurities while rich in minerals. Clean-tasting filtered water that goes beyond hydrating and both mineralises and alkalises the body. You might do well to take supplements with it...............www.water-for-health.co.uk/our-blog/2017/06/reverse-osmosis-water-pure-dead-water/
Another informative video. Thank you so much! How about a video on your video making gear and the editing software. Throw in a bit about uploading in the Bahamas? Thanks again! Fair winds
Price comparative to location right. Case in point I’m in a small rural town an hour outside of Las Vegas Nevada and I hail water up to my property. Cost? 25cents for just a little over 25 gallons Yep for a buck I get over 100 gallons of water. Of course it’s well water not that special RO water either mind you
Ok! Capt of the Lady K. Really ? Complaining about salt spray on dingy ride , Ice is floating in the St Clair river , LOL !!! Watching from the west end of Lake Erie . Great vlogs
Get yourself a watermaker,you will wonder why you did so long without one. Having one is life changing amd opens up some remote cruising grounds. In the pacific 2013 we did not see rain for four months and made watet for an island village to help them til the barge arrived.
You mention your safety harness I do not want you to try it but do you think you would have the power to pull your self back in the boat if you came out of the boat lets say at about half throttle do you know anyone that has saved there self with harness?

Thanks. And thanks for watching :)

Of course!! Come find us :)
I am honestly so grateful that you are doing this. Best sailing channel? I think it might be

Awesome vid guys I see you guys are going live at 4 I will see yas there cheers
Hey Tim great video! For your Canadian friends how about some info on; boat insurance, boat documentation (cruising permits etc.), safety gear (Cdn. vs. US), health care coverage. Thanks!
Andrew and Shelley T ....great question....and I would like to know the same thing...thx
Great video like my camper
Great video of the effort just to gather water cheers and stay safe
Thank you!
Great episode guys! How about a how to On the expansion of your king size bed
Nice , oh well back to the lawns .
Hahaha...you said that was a “bad day.”......yeah right 😊
Enjoying this series. Would love to see an episode on storage.
Great informative water video, but I’m equally impressed with the bed mod! I don’t remember seeing that before.
Great video. I love seeing how other's setups. How about your head? Composting or getting pumped out? What type and where to buy compost materials? This would be a great video I think.. Thanks for sharing.
flying through that no wake zone there sir lol nice VID

Hey thanks. We actually switched to a composting head so we don’t have any black water fortunately.
You gave a great voice for voice-overs and radio. Nice video. How bad does the boats interior suffer with a wet bath situation?

Hey we can do that for sure thanks for the idea
I would like to see what exactly you do for internet and cell service. Is there Sprint, Verizon or AT&T there?

History teaches us we don’t need water. Beer and rum is all you need.
Hey Guys, if you can cover the Internet that would be very helpful. Thank you. K
Great stuff. What say you do a little on your diesel when time allows
What episode features the eves drops of your solar panels to catch the rain?
Get yourself a watermaker,you will wonder why you did so long without one. Having one is life changing amd opens up some remote cruising grounds. In the pacific 2013 we did not see rain for four months and made watet for an island village to help them til the barge arrived.
you buying? lol
Lady K Sailing there are good second hand ones out there.
On Tilt Sailing Dale Hudson I was as still am poor, but got a 5 gal/h water maker second hand they are still out there.
30 gallons=113.5 Ltr.
Now I’m thirsty
Weird... we just started working on a rain water collection device for our cruiser.
You mention your safety harness I do not want you to try it but do you think you would have the power to pull your self back in the boat if you came out of the boat lets say at about half throttle do you know anyone that has saved there self with harness?
Uncle John first posted comment!!! Whoo-hoo
first and BEST!
