- Episode 3 brings the Maiden Voyage of our New Nordhavn 68 to a close. This episode finds Dragon and her crew in Cabo after Passage from San Diego. Next stop La Paz where she will spend a few months. Tacos, Boat Projects and Whalesharks abound in this latest Epic.
I appreciate your reserved use of RTV or sealant during your installation of the stanchions. .
Outstanding video guys. Love video editing
i would love to see Dragon tour the Inside Passage as well as Alaska. Ford's Terror would be a perfect setting for such a beautiful trawler.
awesome video. : ) cant wait for more, and i would be so nervous drilling into the boat. good job
Clean work 👌🏾
Thanks 💯
Just found your channel and think it’s fantastic.
Very well laid out, oh and before I forget, thank you for saving the turtle and for sharing this with us.
Subscribed and liked.k👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😇
Good show! Great design with the hammocks. Might even be a two-fer for a sunshade.
Sunshade is in the works! Good thinkin
Absolutely amazing.
Wow. Awesome!
Cabo is still a great place but you should of seen it in the 60's. My dad was a Piper dealer and our family of 9 flew to Cabo every winter from Spokane Washington. There was just one hotel there then. The Hacienda Cabo San Lucas. It was a beautiful place. The dirt airstrip was where the marina is now. Small town with about 1200 very friendly residents. We usually stayed for 10 days. The sport fishing was out of this world then. No tv, no radio, no cruise ships.... just peace and quiet. 🍹🏜🏝🍸
Congratulations on living the dream 👏
Those hammocks are going to get a lot of use. Love the channel. Hope you plan on continuing.
Great episode - perhaps your best, so far. Love the stainless work for the hammock. Nice job.
Fantastic Video tks from Switzerland.
I would love to connect with you on the hammock holders for my N40!
Well worth waiting for, thanks for bringing us along on your journey.
Following your adventures from the East Coast of Australia, love the music and great editing waving hello from another Blue Nomad. ( Dragon is a beautiful ship thanks for sharing.)
All I can say is ,” Wow”!
looks lovely... btw great work with the toes at 8min,,!
Thank you so much!
Great video 😃
Not me I enjoy your story and expect to enjoy many more . !
Another Episode! Awesome work. John, Hows the docking anxiety when around so many boats? Mate mine is through the roof with my fishing boat let alone The Dragon.
Hey Trout! Good to hear from you again. Great question! The tension starts a few hours before maneuvering and lasts for a few after. Sometimes my butt is clinched for so long that I can’t feel my feet. I know it’s a mind game and in time I will displace my fear with confidence and a history of competent performance. I go SLOW. A wise skipper once told me “don’t go any faster than you want to hit something” Proportional bow and stern thrusters for the win!
@@ridingdragon Full speed ahead, and damn the torpedo's!
@@ridingdragon Thanks for sharing Mate. Actually, thanks for sharing Dragon and her story overall. Flying the family to Disney World next week so will have the kids look out for Dragon when we fly over. 😀
Owning a boat is owning boat projects.
Every single day. 😁
Those whale sharks are amazing!! Awesome experience!!
Well, I learned something new today. I didn't know there species of sharks that were safe to swim with. Looks like a lot of fun out there guys.
Just found your channel - looks good! Have to say that I think you may get problems with the forward posts of your hammocks. I think they will require tying back from the tops - forward with wire stays. Just keep an eye on them, and keep it in mind.
Nice job on the hammock rack!! Looks like a perfect spot for them at anchor! 👍👍
Subscribed to very few channels but this one is tops. Dragon is definitely a beast!
Glad that we made the short list! We’ll make it worth it
@@ridingdragon doing great! Also thanks for introducing me to Worth It on first video
Thank you, relaxing, with beautiful scenery, a beautiful boat. Tacos/fijitas in Mexico, but are they "authentic?" Next up Nordhavn 120?
Hammock holders are brilliant, nice design.
Great video! The hammock holders as the bomb! And swimming with whale sharks? Envious, to say the least!
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
Nice. I am hoping you can help me out. I would like to know the height from the water line is your N64 and I mean to the top of the highest part. like the center mast and antennas thanks. I have a bridge that is only 30ft at mean tide and I wonder if this ship could pass under it to my dock.
Does the pilot house ceiling leak ? It looks like water stains on it . @ 7:20-7:30
No no, it’s a suede material that I need to buy a comb for to get it all going in the right direction. Thanks for watching
I like a hammock as much as anyone and you did a great job on the installation but where’s the shade? You guys are just having to much fun!
You guys have all the makings of having a huge channel. If that’s something you’re into. Post 1 video a week same day same time and keep content PG and the algorithm will blow you up. Cheers.
Thanks for your vote of confidence. You sound like you know what you’re talking about.This is a passion project for us. I’m making an effort to keep the content creation organic. I don’t ever want it to feel like a job. We have some great stuff coming up. Thanks for caring enough to comment.
@@ridingdragon thanks for the reply, looking forward to it.
Ha! I have similar video from off Isla Mujeres with the whale sharks and manta rays - crazy how big they are swimming by you. Another great video! If you need some assistance for a week - I'll be happy to carve it out :) Love Cabo - Ensenada - San Filipe - Guess I've got to get to LaPaz .
I swear... the captain is Ron Perlman + Kevin Bacon's love child!
sensational video
keep them coming please.
stay safe
We’re the screws you used for the hammock mounts sustainably sourced and non conflicted?
Yes they were Keebler screws, forged by the elves as a side hustle to their cookie game. They were well vetted as are all products on Amazon.
Fantastic show! I am aiming to buy a Nordhavn by the end of this year, second hand is fine by me. If you know of any seller with a boat over 55 ft I would be grateful if you could let me know their contact details.
Thanks Ian!! I love this boat and the Nordhavn community. Who at Nordhavn are you talking to? The best deals happen off market and most boats have a waiting list of interested buyers. The process of finding the right one might take a bit so start early. I worked with Eric Leishman and would do it again exactly the same. If your not working with someone call him.
great video!! can't wait for more..
As soon as she said Kansas City to bbq I laughed n disliked the video
Those are the Coolest Hammocks I’ve ever seen.👍
cabo venders are truly nonstop. I prefer Cancun
U guys r having the good days ♥️🌹♥️
Awesome video! Life goals right here.
Loved the hammocks!
Perfect dive form . No complaints.
you know I was only gonna get a 7 from the Russian judge anyway.
Nice
Great episode! We love following your adventures!
Love my Furuno gear!! I have a special segment on my CH600 coming up next episode!
@Riding Dragon Can't wait to see it!💪
You all inspire me😮❤
Had a giggle watching you put up the hammocks, nice work by the way, 😊👍love what you guys are doing, stay strong, stay sharp, God bless my friends. ✌😎.
Great videos! So many questions, but first, what is the inspiration for the name Dragon? Can’t wait to see the next video.
Love those hammocks. Great decision to add them.
Question - will those anchors for the hammocks hold with no backing plate?
Yes Craig. The fiberglass schedule on a Nordhavn is extraordinary. No backing plate is required
Aloha🤙🏻🙏🏻🌺😇
Let me know if you guys need a private chef 🤙🏻🙏🏻😇🌺
Dude, laughing so hard at the dives and your commentary......I dive exactly the same.....lol
New to your channel. Just subscribed. Really enjoyed, thanks,! ✌️❤️🙏
Love the Hammock set up and the boat overall. Question though on the engines. In my mind I would prefer twin engines and I'll admit I am not overly familiar with the "get home" engine set up. How comfortable are you open ocean traversing with a single main engine?
Hi Thomas, thanks for the question. I am completely comfortable with the "wing engine". It too is a John Deere and it will power the boat at 5.5 knots for thousands of miles as well as run the stabilizers. This arrangement works in perfect harmony and efficiency I will be crossing the Pacific and Atlantic in the coming years. Thanks for watching!
