I love you guys. Best sailing channel on YT by far. Thanks for putting your hearts into these videos!

I made a 7x on my money in 2020 and now have 400k. I don't expect to do that again this year but with another 3x (1.2million) I think I'll feel safe enough to finally buy a boat. It's been a lot of years of dreaming but hopefully in a few more years I'll be seeing you two on the water!

👍 I was feeling 🥱 (lethargic) at the beginning. So, I had to start over again. Glad I did!

If that was Megan doing a “whipping”, that would be nice to see. It’s a unique skill and I’m sure she could showcase it nicely. Just an 💡.

Thank you for the good suggestions. Safe journeys !

Good to see you enjoying the warmth and sun. We are just coming out of a frozen marina here in Scotland.

Sage advice for those that are planning to join the cruising community. Great video and the color of the water was amazing, I really enjoyed this.

Great tips, never thought of the mail service , scan and send, vs “friends”

Yes!! Great video. Fun and informative. Thank you so much Timmy

Well done. I really enjoyed the financial advice. Keep up the good work and stay healthy.

House on the market next month and once it sells looking for a boat, great info guys as always, especially the tip about having one CC for auto pay and another for other items in case it gets shutdown for fraud or other reason, but CASH is KING is soooo true. As I get closer, I just wanted to thank you! Your videos have provided me a ton of info that will help from tips on buying the boat to outfitting it. Of course the great scenes from the Bahamas certainly keep me dreaming of being right there one day soon! Looking forward to the medical video next week, should be more great info to digest.

Perfect timing, I was just looking through old episodes for an O'Kelly fix when this popped on my notifications. Thank you for helping out on this cold snowy day.

Those waters on the dinghy tour. Omg!! I really think this is one of your best videos, too.

Great video... I have been dabbling in the stock market for a few years now but just started getting serious about for the exact reasons that you mentioned. I am a new subscriber and my wife and I plan on taking a bunch of sailing lessons this summer and start saving for a boat... we are really thinking about a catamaran now. you along with sailing Uma, and Hakuna are my favorite 3 channels... keep the great content coming.

O’Kellys, more like the O’Rubb-It In’s! Lol, I haven’t seen the ground in almost 3 weeks! Love your videos! Keep them coming! Never Sailed but after I thaw out I plan to learn this spring! Enjoying seeing a couple both enjoying a passion together!

Great to see that the Code 0 is getting some love now. :-). It was suffering from spinnaker envy.

Definitely great financial tips! Thank you!

Gorgeous video!

Another great O'Kelly video just blew in!

Great video, after the COLD snap in Kansas, the Bahamas is looking SOOOOOO much more appealing!!!

muy buenos consejos. ya los vere en el agua!

It was cold today, you guys warmed my heart and soul.

Good stuff as always.

Great video, great tips!

Wait I’m 3.19 in and it’s amazing already, much love from Scotland you luck muckers, love you lots love watching pretty much half your posties but gods speed 🥃 stay safe x

Watch quite a few of the popular folks...you are truly the fav. Always so informative but fun...thanks for all you do!

Just to let you know you are in the top 20 Sailing Shows on you tube. Yaaaaa congrats. Denny from Minnesota

Thanks again...great job...

Great channel! Keep going.

Well done and crazy informative as usual. Killer scenery and drone footage. Gotta Switch all auto-pay expenses to one credit card that sits at home. Great suggestion. Be well and Thank You.

Bought and read your book quite a while ago. Liked it alot. Found it first thru Bummfuzzle.

GOD I PRAY I CAN MAKE IT TO THE BAHAMAS TO SAIL BEFORE I DIE! (OR JUST LEARN TO SAIL) I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW BEAUTIFUL THE WATERS ARE THERE

Another great video. Thanks.

You put out the best sailing videos on KZfaq that have good content and excellent music accompanying your shows. You might want to put all your videos in a big package for people to buy right from you. Keep up the good work. I always watch your videos first. Take care of yourselves.

Good info thanks!

Yet again, awesome creativity with the music Nick. Love it... 👍👍👍👍👍

Yes! Best one ever. Where can you find two Anchors sailing....Smooth sailing guys. Stay safe

I didn't see any in your toolbox video but after making any electrical contact add Sil glide brake silicone lube it will virtually end corrosion on your electrical connections. Picked up that tip from a friend who lived in Houston and became tired of regular cleaning and repair of poor electrical connections on his vehicles. You cannot use too much and it also doubles as a great general purpose lubricant for all sorts of applications. I am becoming very attached to your channel and almost feel like I'm onboard helping with the repairs. Probably also because my wife and I RV with a 5th wheel and can commiserate with the everyday trials that are the reality of the adventure. Have you guys ever considered rainwater collection for some of your water needs? We have set up a small operation in conjunction with our RV and for showers and wash downs ect. You will be shocked just how fast a water tank will fill with rainwater. Be Well and fair winds

I thought it was a great episode when I saw the fuel burn data. Then we got to the financial stuff - Excellent video. You guys are killing it. I've been a landlord for 32 years (10 units before and 5 now) and I've never had good luck travelling. (I've always tried to do everything myself - maybe that's the problem). Some tenants are very hard to deal with and need constant attention/correspondence, while others could go on indefinitely without being late or having issues. Finding the right ones is imperative. I'm seriously considering selling my last 4-plex before/if we go cruising. Decades of dealing with tenants and city employees have ruined my landlording enthusiasm.

We’re thinking about RV’ing if/when the wifey’s work allows full-time remote. Should know more later this year as to what’s possible. We’d likely be visiting lots of marinas!!! Sailing round the Caribbean and east coast would follow as soon as internet service underway is more solid and affordable.

Love the show guys, Thanks good advice about the credit card, I travel with a spare in my suitcase as well, saved me one time already when I lost my wallet, at least I was able to get. A coffee when I was online cancelling all my other cc cards,

Well done Anchor Marine!!

Very interesting topics.

Beautiful videos and angles and props to the one editing and color grading.

Great video! You guys drop some really meaty tips for those looking to follow in your footsteps. I hope you guys do a future video on personal safety and I’m very curious about the threats of pirates etc.

Excellent again...👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Usually the alternators have a very long life but if the low output is a repeater it may not be the alternator. The positive red cable connected to the alternator may be burned out inside. High rpm will led some amps come out but the cable can become very hot and brittle. Or if the cable is good checking for voltage drop help troubleshooting identifying the problem. Also, Corrosion in the terminals or inside the cable can contribute to the low output.

Huge suggestion for the "pay your recurring bills with a dedicated credit card" suggestion. Pay with Privacy. It's a banking service that generates separate credit card numbers for you to pay with. It debits your regular bank account via those credit card numbers. The beauty of it is that every single payee gets a different number. No one can steal your credit card info online and hope to use it because Privacy ties that number to the first company that uses it. In my case I purchased a flashlight online and they got their system compromised. Someone attempted to use that card number to buy Dominoes Pizza and Privacy rejected the charge because the number was tied to the flashlight company. What this allows is for you to buy things online, including those monthly bills like Netflix, without worrying that someone would steal your card number and force you to change credit card numbers on all your other payment accounts. Privacy debits whichever checking account you designate for each "card" you generate. If you have several bank accounts you can tie them all to Privacy. I have two cards for Amazon, one that takes money from my personal checking account and another that charges the "Family" checking account. It's only fair that I pay for my own books, right? You can also make "burner" numbers that can only be used once. Plus, if you sign up for a monthly subscription and you can't get them to stop the subscription? Cancel that card in Privacy. Since that card only pays that one bill, you don't have the problem of changing the card on all your other bills. Privacy is a real bank, complete with all the required "Know Your Customer" laws, so they're going to demand ID, just like any other real bank. I can't recommend them enough. They've saved me a few times from online stupidity and fraud. privacy.com/join/D9B52

Hello my dear friends I just watched your video in Newark Airport under a snow storm and I realized why you guys have the best videos Your videos are the “Avatar” of our desaires to enjoy Nature the same way you do. Those colors... are incredibly amazing. Hope you are doing great. Can’t wait for next one. Adios.

good video real advice

6:35 "it's not all boat repairs" in my experience it's always just boat repairs...

We loved hanging out with you guys! Glad we could get that part to you. Safe sailing! ⛵️❤️

Love your intros and music!

Hi Megan & Nick, Thanks for another great, informative video! When I was at Shroud Cay years ago, did the exact same trip and remember the sand at the entrance/exit ocean side was some of the softest I'd ever experienced, sinking up to my ankles while walking on it. I wondered if it's still that soft? Alternators are completely rebuildable as you know, just wondering if you'd keep it as a spare/backup. Did you trade the GME short squeeze , lol.

Repairs are necessary. I love seeing you "get her done"....

Have to say that around @8:50, the video takes on a very cool vibe. A bit of The Doors sound/Apocalypse Now video effect with the fisheye lens view and overhead riverine shots. It might be my gin & tonics talking, but wow...it's very cool. :-)

You guys ROCK 😃 SAIL ON !

Nick You can get a flat rib belt kit for your Yanmars made a huge difference to my engines with no belt slip and near no continues adjustment required. No belt dust keeps the engine room clean . You noticed all the black dirt on the alternator you took out , it doesn’t happen with a flat ribbed belt.

Your music is amazing and you always pair it up with the scenery perfectly. Once you have enough new music and scenery are you going to release another long music video?

Like your videos so glad i found u look sooo nice always at sea my spesial place where i cannot stay for now but maybe one day😄

So here I am, watching at my typical 1080p and I start noticing some compression artifacts. I think "hrm, that's odd, I wonder if it's not playing at 1080p..." I go to check when lo and behold I discover that you guys upload in 4k! Totally worth! Now if only I had a 4k monitor to get the WHOLE benefit of 4k! lol.

If you had to pick between a scretcher and code O for sailing in the Pacific NW, which would you pick? Amazing photography in this video and more great info.

Perfect, i mean sure theres ups and downs, but, this place would be my idea of heaven. Beautiful. Ive always wondered if a diesel electric setup would work? Hybrid battery bank setup? Meh just have to win the lotto, or die trying hahaha

Thanks kids for helping me make up m'mind. @ 70, still healthy & fit; I'm readying for a live aboard cat & Florida marina address. And I know! There's going to be a whole new learning curve per "learning the ropes..." . Fair winds to ya....

@ 2:39 the sailing is just like the Solent in February LOL - doesn’t get much better than that - the image that makes ‘Lockdown’ bearable 👌

Palm and Needle whipping , bit of old style boat work

The best one was the toothpaste please no charcoal or bark and Megan was really funny to when she ask you in Spanish, they you ask what’s that smell, a vinegar candle I found it on the internet and starts looking side to side. Also you guys talking country in the hot tub.

Love your videos...thank you for everything you do! Can you please comment on what you do for health insurance? How does someone prepare for that please?

Thanks for great videos. Don’t you think that your alternators are overworked by the lithium batteries causing it to overheat and fail? EMaax in Canada produces excellent alternators. I also have a 2012 Leopard 46 with 1260Ah lithium and Emaax alternators for 3 years now. 215Amp per alternator. Awesome performance so far. Keep up the good work and enjoy your Leopard.

Pretty!

Ok Nick, tell me this... why do "Double Tops & Double Bottoms" work UNTIL I use em', Bah!!! . Cheers guys n good luck 🍻🍺

I love this channel. This couple is the def of life goals. Pardon my french you guys are fucking awesome.

For the last 3 years I have been planning to purchase the boat outright but, lately I have been considering the idea of financing 'some' of the purchase price. Cruising life for me is planned to be financed by the income from rental properties. So if the money saved by financing part of the boat can go toward another (or part of another) rental property, it just makes more sense (and dollars and cents!)

Nick, your constant improvement in video production is duly noted. Is a TV series in your future? 😎 You and Megan have 3/4's of the crap on the tube already beat.... with the Covid situation and midwinter in Pennsylvania... I know of what I speak. 🥶😉 Fair winds friends.

Have you ever gone to get supplies and on the way back think where did I park?

Bought your audio book "Live on the margin" You make reference to numerous charts and that is the disadvantage of audio books. Found myself lost. Is there a website to see those charts? Great content btw.

Can you please do an update on your boat wrap???

Love your vids. I'm pretty sure that Ulysses is Graeme Hart's (NZ businessman). Think he had to get a slightly smaller one built first as a stepping stone to this. That had the same name but changed when he sold it and is now a charter boat. Something like that, anyway.

That thing she's using is either called a sail palm or a stitching palm, depending on who you talk to. That and a stitching awl are must haves for thick material, and any thread in the 200+ range. I'm going to ask a wee bit about banking. I know you guys are mostly carribean cruisers, but even that can deal with a fairly wide range of monetary nationalities. Do you find it easy to withdraw cash at whatever local ATM is there? Does nationality of currency make it more or less difficult? Does your bank support this without hassle? What would you suggest asking your bank about such things in preparation to go cruise? How did you get into reading audio books....? Thanks again!

Gorgeous shots! I got nothing else.

What virtual mail service do you use ?

Maybe you should contract with Google to do Street View in the islands - Nice!

Mechanic-man!

Trying new video technics? Impressive.

What happened with your boat wrap??? Thinking of getting one done.

how far is this beach from Staniel Cay? could you share more please? also...with what did you film for fish eye effect/ and how do you dissapear the GoPro and make it clear?

Do people put the electrical grease on the connections to prevent corosion? (or is the mess not worth it)

Do you guys have the budget to get a StarLink internet connection? I have been watching many of your videos and the videos of other full-timers. I have not seen anyone talk about their internet. I believe that the current cost for StarLink is $100 / month and $500 for the equipment

This was a particularly good and useful video. The financial piece especially. What I’m grappling with is whether to turn our home into an income property or just sell it and invest it. If we sell it and invest it, we’re subject to what prices are if we want to come home. If we rent it, we still own it and can come home . What am I missing here?

The little channels you filmed and the cute beach and swimming area.......Shroud Cay?

nice vid guys. whats the water temp there?

Australia is contactless credit & debit cards too, since the pandemic uses of cash has dropped through the floor.

Well how ironic! I’ve literally been wondering how you dealt with trading and the market. It wasn’t a matter of if you do as I was pretty sure you did, but had no idea you wrote a book or 3! I’m going to grab the Margin one as I’m literally on this margin lol. Crossing my fingers for the satellite train, in a way! 💁‍♀️

The Bahamas look amazing. Working to sell my house and business and I will be there. One step at a time.

love the mellow sea if your not in a rush why bother just put your feet up

Honestly I click on these for just the troubleshooting and repairs.

Is that 1200 miles on half full tanks?

Did Xmas winds kick up in the Virgins this year as usual or not? Hmm 🧐

How can I get access to your book. Amazon seems not to ship to Europe. Thanks!

Love your shows and something that maybe you guys could address that I have NEVER seen another sailing channel address is cash and how it is stored onboard and how much cash needs to be kept on hand. I am not asking for specifics due to security and privacy issues, obviously, but does one need 2 months worth of cash on hand for remote sailing, do these boats have some type of hidden safe for securing said cash, etc. Just would really like to see how this works and no one, I mean no one, ever addresses it. I don't know if it is a security thing or just a blindspot for Vloggers and not realizing this is something audiences and potential cruisers would like to know. Any way, my two cents worth from the landlocked country of Nepal!
