THATS WHAT IM SAYIN! 😂😂 it would help if we were more consistent with uploading. We’re trying to get back into it soon. Thanks so much for the kinda comment and for watching!
What an awesome family you have. i just discovered your channel by chance, & binge watched them all, can't wait for your next vid. Fair winds & safe traveling,from the uk.
Wow!!!that is a niiiiiiiceeeeeeee BOAT!!! guys, I like yours better. LOVE that the galley is upstairs with a view, that’s amazing. And the live radio thing was super cool.
What a sexy sounding British man on that radio! He sounds like he's got great hair too🤣 Love the video! Looking forward to 2.0 Everyday Saturday boat tour!
Guessing this is a Lagoon 450F ? Saw they make a Sport and Flybridge. Convincing the wife to buy this exact boat and I think she's warming up. Sell our log cabin and go see the world with our son. Liked and Subbed. Can't wait to watch all your videos. Thanks for sharing
Enjoyed your channel! I’m trying to convince my wife that a circumnavigation is a great retirement project and went so far as to even start a little channel (@NavalGazingatCampDavid) to sell her on the life style….desperate times and all that. Lol. Thanks again for the great content. I have a whoooole new appreciation for the time and care it takes to create these episodes!
Yep. No dramas. I saw the boat while they were being reinforced and they were slightly bent. All good now. Size, value, features, sail-ability…the Lagoon 450 is pretty hard to beat!
Found your channel just a week ago and watched all your adventures! Love it! Noticed there have been no further videos tho.. hope you are all doing well and enjoying every day! Stay safe & ENJOY! Hope you will be able to begin the videos again! If so, we'll be there!
Thank you so much Marcene and thank you for spending the time to watch! Humbled to hear that. Transitioning to boat life and boat maintenance was overwhelming. We’re to the point where we can totally start. It’s just about getting back into a rhythm now! Thank you for encouraging and inspiring us to get going again!!
6 people FULL TIME on a 45 foot cat is impressive. But you RVed for a few years before, so everyone is used to being in close quarters with limited storage options. Does the boat have more or less space than your RV? Do you access the engines under the aft beds, or is it a separate hatch near the sugar scoops?
It’s WAYYYYYYY more space than any RV we could own. Gotta count all the outside living space too for people to spread out. Plan more privacy with bedrooms and stuff. Way more storage too. Our boat is actually closer to 46’ long but it’s also a foot wider than most 45ft cats at 26ft wide. Makes a big difference in space. engines have their own space above the sugar scoops accessed with a large hatch on deck. i can stand in them and work on the engines.
My cousin went on a trip similar to what you and your family are on. He and his wife and son, along with their dog spent almost a full year out at sea. I wish I could have spent time with them. Keep it up! New subscriber here! ❤
Just watching your videos. I assume that you know of the Lagoon 450's bulkhead mess, lawsuit etc.. Check out Parlay Revival episode 107 and newer. I hear lots of creaking on your walk around, was yours fixed?
Thanks for watching Philip. Yes am very very aware of the bulkhead saga and Colin’s whistle blow on the whole thing. Also every catamaran I’ve ever been on creaks and has noises that they make with the incredible amount of flex that takes place. Leopard 48. Fountain Pajot Helia 44 2019 Leopard 45. They all creak when in blue water conditions. A lot of it is just the wood work. Our boats reinforcement was done as we were buying it. Actually got to go watch the process. It’s been a fantastic boat so far for our 7,000+ nautical miles with her.
Kinda? Lol. Brandon took a week long sailing course that was more just learning the basics. Then he helped crew/move a boat from New York down to Florida so that was 10 days of some real world experience. But it was trial by fire after that and we drank from a fire hose our first sailing season!
Our family has considered this with great interest. My husband is an experienced sailor. We have never sailed as a family. He’s also good at fixing things. I am a teacher in the speech therapist. We just got done building our dream home three years ago on a dream property. It takes a lot of work and it puts a big strain on us. We feel like there has to be something different. We were wondering how your family is adjusting from everybody’s point of you, a breakdown of your cost, and how homeschooling is doing? Maybe we will see this in future videos. We wish you the best of luck! 😊Carrie
Carrie thanks so much for taking the time to reach out! Great video ideas. To find your answers to how everyone is doing from their point of view, if you’re on IG, go to our page and look at our pinned stories…one is Q&A and that might actually answer some of your questions. And, we thought we had our dream home too. But we realized this “dream” that our culture sells us is expensive and all consuming. Not sure if that’s it for you guys but that’s how we felt. Thanks again! More videos to come
I went through all the videos I just want to know how did you all learn to sail? I just seems like you jumped into buying the catamaran but I know you all at least needed a few months training. Especially from Idaho haha
Hi!!! Congratulations 🎉🎊🍾!!!! Wow this catamaran is absolutely gorgeous!!! It has so much room for everyone!!! I love to sleep on the ocean 🌊 it’s the best nights sleep for me!!! I wonder if the kids are sleeping later on here?! I also have to say you both look so much happier and well rested!!! Your kids are definitely very lucky to have this in their lives. Your family is so close and I know I couldn’t ask for more with my family. We do the rv thing but can see doing this when my husband retires 💛. Enjoy and safe travels!!!💛
What an awesome comment! Thank you Nicole. It’s funny you say that…EVERYONE sleeps soooo well on the boat. Ambers mom just left from a visit with us and she even said she slept so hard each night. Definitely gotta be the motion. AND…we’re just active and stay busy so when the sun goes down so do we! Thanks for watching and enjoy with RV Life! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
@@everydaysaturday That’s awesome to hear that everyone sleeps so good!!! Where are you now? Bahamas? I tell ya that was a fabulous idea to hit the ocean!!! I just bought a new camper but closed up last weekend. We are in NY and have to wait to go back in May!!! We have other plans and hibernating too like the bears this winter. Ha ha ha. Looking forward to the next video!!
Amazing boat! First video of your channel that I watch. Wish I could afford a boat like that. I've been binge watching Jadyn's channel and she made a video about how everybody can afford this life but for 95% of the population sadly ~500 thousands US dollar, specially cash, is not even thinkable. I reserved a "Introduction to sailing (35' sloop)" class next week with the lady, hopefully a small 30-35' sloop next year would be affordable. Maybe we'll see each other in a couple years in the Caribbean🤪 Definity subscribing, would love to see technical videos. Good day from Quebec, Canada
Thanks for watching! And I dont think she said everyone can afford it. Her main point was that you dont have to be rich. Which we aren’t. I promise. 😂 But yah there’s no way everyone could afford this lifestyle. Awesome that you’re doing some training!
Oh no! It’s a song that came off of a royalty free site that I subscribe to! I’m not sure the name but it wouldn’t be available on all the normal music avenues! It was soooo good! Thanks for watching!!
Hey! Well in lumpy seas Amber and 2 of our kids can still not feel well. But they mostly just want to sleep. No serious like throwing up type sea sickeness. Making money, we have a rental property that brings in some income. Not a lot but supplement and we sold some other real estate in order to do it. And we live very frugally!
So cool, new subscriber here, would you consider the 450 to be too large for just a couple? Wife and I have a couple more years before retirement, we live in Jacksonville, FL, and love the ocean, we're both divers and love to fish and have great adventures. Hope you're safe during the hurricane Ian!!
Hey Mike! Thanks so much for watching and the comment! It’s definitely not too big…but a side or so down wouldn’t be too small either if that makes sense. I’d suggest an “owners version” though instead of our “charter version” . It’s a great boat and very easy to manage short handed. I’ve pretty much figured out how to single hand all the sailing. Lots of 450 owners out there who are couples. And yah we’re safe! Boats in Virginia right now. :)
This boat is beautiful, so airy and light. Beautiful islands to visit. My concern is your daughters. I worry that they are missing all the "fun" things in high school, like Homecoming and Prom dances. Making girlfriends and all that goes with it. Meeting boys, not dating so much, but just friends. My daughter is 31 years old and her best friends are from 7th grade and college. Since you move around, I wonder how they are doing regarding friends and sleepovers and Friday night football games, all the things you do in high school. I feel they are missing out on a huge part of life. But, my best wishes to you guys.
Such a great and genuine comment. Thank you! Our 17 year old daughter recently started a RUclips channel where she has talked about how sailing full time is from a teenagers perspective. I’ll link below. But while you’re right they will miss out on many “normal” land things…they are gaining many extraordinary experiences, cultures, education, things that will shape their life in such a unique way that they never would have gotten with those. So it’s kinda a trade off. But from our experience watching other people live this life with their kids over the years it enriches their lives in incredible ways. Not to mention the extra time spent with family…the most important relationships/and the ones we’ll have the longest. Thanks again. ruclips.net/video/4Chxm4iB-c8/видео.html
Hey there! How is sailing performance on this generation of Lagoons? Two years ago I sailed the 2019 450F and it was extremely unpleasant to sail. The rudder was way too undersized, wrong positioned(in front of prop. the interieur architects pushed the realignment of the engine room through so they could prioritize their interior plans, sacrificing steering performance for livability. That tells you everything about their priorities. No wonder people say they build the boat around the curtains. Which is a bummer as someone who loves sailing) that in combination with extremely wide hulls(=low performance in comparison to slim hulls) it resulted in the boat being effectively unable to be steered by hand because it was always going to the side. You couldn't steer straight ahead. To go straight you had to run the autopilot. As someone who loves the sailing side of cruising this was very disappointing to say the least. So what is your experience with this gen?
Probably similar as far as steering. It’s really the same boat they built from 2011-2022. But being that it’s our full time home we are happy to sacrifice sailing performance for the comfort and livability that it offers. And we only steer by hand when entering or leaving an anchorage then it’s straight to the autopilot. We’ve been really happy with the boat for our needs. The other thing with steering…these boats are way over canvased. We’ve found she actually sails better and more balanced when we reef early.
@@everydaysaturday That's interesting with the reefing. Gotta try that with the next charter vacation. But yeah, I can actually see how one will going to make sacrifices there. Colin actually got me sold on fly bridges and if you're on a budget or do not want to spend way more then Lagoon is kinda the way to go. I actually think now that it is probably kinda very important to have different/more spaces to spread out to, espacially on long passages. Like on the Windelo for example. I easily see you ending up there on passages being "stuck" with up to 8 people in one ca15sqm room for weeks and weeks. Sailing on passage is intimate enough to be a possible strain on everybody when things get heated, no need to make it harder by reducing the space to one room(if raining like hell). Like shit happens, you argue and all you can go to is you bunk in the more uncomfortable moving lower areas of the boat. Maybe I'm overthinking it but I unfortunately didn't hat the opportunity to do a passage yet.
Thanks for sharing, but I do have to laugh at the intro about being an "ordinary family" that just happens to have a million dollar home, travel trailer, and boat.
It was a $400,000 home when we bought it. Then sold it 2 years later for $800,000. Not our fault the housing market exploded 😂. The travel trailer we rented out our house which more than covered the payment on the RV loan we had. And the boat we paid cash for after selling our house. I dunno…depends how you define ordinary I guess. 😂 We were a very average middle class family where we’re from. Thanks for watching!
We are currently considering doing this. Our daughters are 14 & 18 the 14yr old is homeschooling online. How have your daughters adjusted to being away from friends ?
Good for the most part. But one is an introvert and does pretty well on her own. The other is an extreme extrovert and always looking for fun/super social (our oldest). Shes went through a roller coaster of emotions but came out the other side really appreciating the opportunity and what we are doing. Check her RUclips channel “Jadyn Morse” to see her perspective. Shes got some REALLY good content.
Hey! Yah we do sometimes. It has to be pretty hot though and no sea breeze. There’s usually a nice breeze that cools things down. We also use to have to run our generator in order to run the AC but now I set things up so we can run a couple AC’s off the solar.
If we do overnights we always have someone on night watch. We do couple hour rotations with us and 2-3 of our older kids. But that said our autopilot does all the steering.
The girls are online and the boys are homeschool but it’s all flexible (no set times they have to login) so often on passages we’ll give them the time off and they catch up when they get there. But we haven’t crossed any major oceans or anything at this point so 4-6 days has been the longest.
I love you guys, just a tip from a dental person. I think you need your teeth cleaned and you need to floss more because I can see the inflammation in your gums. This is not to criticize this is to help I love love love love this channel. I’ve been watching you all day onMemorial Day.
I don't know why you don't have more subscribers. One of the few videos on RUclips I watched from beginning till the end. Good luck!
THATS WHAT IM SAYIN! 😂😂 it would help if we were more consistent with uploading. We’re trying to get back into it soon. Thanks so much for the kinda comment and for watching!
takes time peeps got to find them like I just did😊
It's the upload cycle. For higher numbers you gotta post once a week.
I love how chill you guys are. Congrats on escaping the system and enjoying your lives. 🎉
What an awesome family you have. i just discovered your channel by chance, & binge watched them all, can't wait for your next vid. Fair winds & safe traveling,from the uk.
Wow! That’s a long binge haha. That’s awesome. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
One awesome and beautiful family.
They are also damn cool to let their oldest escape for a few months with Zatara. Lovely people.
We want her back! Missing her over here 😩
The boat is BRILLIANT.
Thanks!
I`m a fan of Keith and his family. I started watching a couple of your videos. Nice editing. I'm enjoying them. The Lagoon 450 is a great boat.
Hey welcome “aboard”! Really appreciate the comment and encouragement. And this ole gal (2013 450) has been very good to us.
Love the boat. You guys are living the dream!!!
Awesome Catamaran and You guys are Awesome. Hopefully we can follow your path soon. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I'm so happy you and your family are enjoying your adventure. I still miss you at Trinity!
Awww miss you guys too! Thank you so much and sooooo cool you watched the video :)
Wow!!!that is a niiiiiiiceeeeeeee BOAT!!! guys, I like yours better. LOVE that the galley is upstairs with a view, that’s amazing. And the live radio thing was super cool.
You’re the best for binging everything we have! 😂
Great looking boat! Thanks for the tour. Nice to have multiple bathrooms and everyone their personal spaces. So cool!
Thanks so much guys!
What a wonderful family and what an epic ride.
🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
I'm removing from a hip replacement and enjoying your videos. ❤
Awww thanks. Happy recovery!
It was great to see you at Life Church! I was behind the LC LOGO. Join us any Sunday 8:30 and 10 am Central. God bless you!
Awww thanks! We enjoyed it
What a sexy sounding British man on that radio! He sounds like he's got great hair too🤣 Love the video! Looking forward to 2.0 Everyday Saturday boat tour!
I just can’t get enough of that lad. ♥️♥️♥️
These and the leopard 46 best designs for that mid 40s cats.
Awesome boat
Space, value, sailing ability…we agree!
Thanks for the tour! I’m ready to sell everything and buy a boat.
Yay! So cool you watched Michelle. Do it, but be prepared for the hardiest scariest awesomest most challenging incredible thing you have ever done.
What a beautiful home you have. Loved the tour. Happy sailing.
Thanks so much!
Came across your channel from Sailing Nahoa - really enjoying watching!
Awesome, thank you!
You have got an awesome vessel and an amazing family. I am jealous ❤️
Thank you so much!
Looks amazing!
Love that the kids get their own space. And it is about time you got this video done. 😜
Yes definitely such a difference over the RV life for living space. It actually feels more like a home. And i know! Finally!!
Great video!
I just found your channel. Nice video. I’ll be back for more, thank you for the tour of your home.
Fun to see it all!
Love this boat
Thanks! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Thanks heaps
I'm sold on the boat 😁
This is so great to see! My wife and I are just getting started with kids, but we're already planning our trip! Also - my wife is also from Idaho!
That is awesome!
Great video. Great boat Morses. More Amber less Brandon 😆
Thanks man...and you know you want more Brandon lololol
Guessing this is a Lagoon 450F ? Saw they make a Sport and Flybridge. Convincing the wife to buy this exact boat and I think she's warming up. Sell our log cabin and go see the world with our son. Liked and Subbed. Can't wait to watch all your videos. Thanks for sharing
Yes 450f!
Enjoyed your channel! I’m trying to convince my wife that a circumnavigation is a great retirement project and went so far as to even start a little channel (@NavalGazingatCampDavid) to sell her on the life style….desperate times and all that. Lol. Thanks again for the great content. I have a whoooole new appreciation for the time and care it takes to create these episodes!
Thanks so much for the comment. You guys should totally do it! It’s worth the work and investment.
More videos, pretty please❤🙏🏻Love watching!
Did you have your 450 hull inspection..I learned about bulk head problems from watching parlay revival
Yep they were reinforced when we were buying it.
So cool man
dude you nail it , lovely presentation
Glad you liked it!
Great video guys!
Thanks man!
Just found your instagram acc and immediately looked to see if yall have youtube! I love love love love your content and lifestyle!
Thank you so much!!
Loved the tour! We begin the search next year 😅.
Thanks! And that’s awesome! Feel free to reach out with any questions. It’s A LOT :)
@@everydaysaturday It really is!
Very nice guys ! Safe travels!!❤
Thanks!
Great walk through!
Glad you enjoyed!
A Lagoon 450!!!!! Oh My, how brave of you. How are the bulkheads? Has Lagoon repaired them for you already?
Yep. No dramas. I saw the boat while they were being reinforced and they were slightly bent. All good now. Size, value, features, sail-ability…the Lagoon 450 is pretty hard to beat!
The sad thing is Lagoon don't make the 450 anymore. Great boat ⛵ none the less, enjoy 🎉😊
Such a great boat! We love it
Found your channel just a week ago and watched all your adventures! Love it! Noticed there have been no further videos tho.. hope you are all doing well and enjoying every day! Stay safe & ENJOY! Hope you will be able to begin the videos again! If so, we'll be there!

Awesome for them! Thanks for watching and following along!
Perfect set up to live our Matthew 28:18-20!!!
Just don't forget Matthew 23:15.
Great tour
Great sister.
new to your channel..thank you for sharing. where do you live in the winter months
So far on the boat. But out of the hurricane zone. We have gone back to Idaho to stay with and visit family though for a month or so each winter.
@everydaysaturday looks so peaceful on the boat.i live in idaho ..I don't like the city
So the Bahamians call them Klicks. The beer. Love your boat. I have a monohull. Love the space but hate the rolling at anchor and the heeling.
Yah James! and thanks for watching??

What is cost of this vessel?
Did you know how to sale before you embarked on this adventure?
Kinda? Lol. Brandon took a week long sailing course that was more just learning the basics. Then he helped crew/move a boat from New York down to Florida so that was 10 days of some real world experience. But it was trial by fire after that and we drank from a fire hose our first sailing season!
Our family has considered this with great interest. My husband is an experienced sailor. We have never sailed as a family. He’s also good at fixing things. I am a teacher in the speech therapist.

I took a one week sailing course that helped but barely. On the job learning is what did it. But also very overwhelming at first ha
Bout time! 🤣
No joke!
Hi!!! Congratulations 🎉🎊🍾!!!! Wow this catamaran is absolutely gorgeous!!! It has so much room for everyone!!! I love to sleep on the ocean 🌊 it’s the best nights sleep for me!!! I wonder if the kids are sleeping later on here?! I also have to say you both look so much happier and well rested!!! Your kids are definitely very lucky to have this in their lives. Your family is so close and I know I couldn’t ask for more with my family. We do the rv thing but can see doing this when my husband retires 💛. Enjoy and safe travels!!!💛

My question is how do you get all of your food (vegetables and grocery bought food) without stopping at a marina?
Wow nice boat ⛵ what's the song name @6:12 🎶
Just randomly came across this vid im now hooked:) 🇮🇪
Oh no! It’s a song that came off of a royalty free site that I subscribe to! I’m not sure the name but it wouldn’t be available on all the normal music avenues! It was soooo good! Thanks for watching!!
cool!!!
question. how do you make money sailing?? and did anyone get sea sick when you transitioned??
Hey! Well in lumpy seas Amber and 2 of our kids can still not feel well. But they mostly just want to sleep. No serious like throwing up type sea sickeness.
Making money, we have a rental property that brings in some income. Not a lot but supplement and we sold some other real estate in order to do it. And we live very frugally!

@@everydaysaturday That's interesting with the reefing. Gotta try that with the next charter vacation. But yeah, I can actually see how one will going to make sacrifices there. Colin actually got me sold on fly bridges and if you're on a budget or do not want to spend way more then Lagoon is kinda the way to go. I actually think now that it is probably kinda very important to have different/more spaces to spread out to, espacially on long passages. Like on the Windelo for example. I easily see you ending up there on passages being "stuck" with up to 8 people in one ca15sqm room for weeks and weeks. Sailing on passage is intimate enough to be a possible strain on everybody when things get heated, no need to make it harder by reducing the space to one room(if raining like hell). Like shit happens, you argue and all you can go to is you bunk in the more uncomfortable moving lower areas of the boat. Maybe I'm overthinking it but I unfortunately didn't hat the opportunity to do a passage yet.
I do my best work in the bathroom as well. Do you guys have A/C ?
Yah we do!
Thanks for sharing, but I do have to laugh at the intro about being an "ordinary family" that just happens to have a million dollar home, travel trailer, and boat.
It was a $400,000 home when we bought it. Then sold it 2 years later for $800,000. Not our fault the housing market exploded 😂. The travel trailer we rented out our house which more than covered the payment on the RV loan we had. And the boat we paid cash for after selling our house. I dunno…depends how you define ordinary I guess. 😂 We were a very average middle class family where we’re from. Thanks for watching!
I miss there videos 😢
Awww thanks Juju! We’re hoping to get fired back up soon.
We are currently considering doing this. Our daughters are 14 & 18 the 14yr old is homeschooling online. How have your daughters adjusted to being away from friends ?
Good for the most part. But one is an introvert and does pretty well on her own. The other is an extreme extrovert and always looking for fun/super social (our oldest). Shes went through a roller coaster of emotions but came out the other side really appreciating the opportunity and what we are doing. Check her RUclips channel “Jadyn Morse” to see her perspective. Shes got some REALLY good content.
I would love to post a message....but I am too jealous to think of something right now.
😂😂❤️
Do you guys run the AC?
Hey! Yah we do sometimes. It has to be pretty hot though and no sea breeze. There’s usually a nice breeze that cools things down. We also use to have to run our generator in order to run the AC but now I set things up so we can run a couple AC’s off the solar.
Are thse the most common vessel?
Or do you call it boat?
Sailing catamaran
everyday!good night-very insane - catch you later.👏
What do you do with your trash?
Yo Dan! Anything perishable we feed the fish. The rest we store in a locker until we get to the next port/city with trash services.
How do u steer when you guys are all sleeping?
If we do overnights we always have someone on night watch. We do couple hour rotations with us and 2-3 of our older kids. But that said our autopilot does all the steering.
8:45 LOL

🎉 🥳
Kinda dumb question, i wonder how your kids get in school during long sailling? Are they got online class or something like home schooling?
The girls are online and the boys are homeschool but it’s all flexible (no set times they have to login) so often on passages we’ll give them the time off and they catch up when they get there. But we haven’t crossed any major oceans or anything at this point so 4-6 days has been the longest.
OMG!!🇮🇹🇮🇹🚨🚨😭😭
😮👌👌❤️
Which class does your elder child is studying
So sorry you all have to suffer like that😊
Haha…well you know it’s not always easy!
This is not a boat, it’s a million dollar yacht. Anyone would love to live like this but not many can afford it
Maybe when it was brand new. But it’s a 2013 now! Definitely wasn’t a million dollars for us. Kinda a negative way to look at things isn’t it?
I love you guys, just a tip from a dental person. I think you need your teeth cleaned and you need to floss more because I can see the inflammation in your gums. This is not to criticize this is to help I love love love love this channel. I’ve been watching you all day onMemorial Day.
Why such a large gap in the videos?
Cause we got WAYYYYY behind and it’s too daunting right now to ever catch up. :)
