Christmas in the tropics!!! Nothing better! I miss the sun/surf and lots of heat, every year...... TODD 2.0 is alive!!!

Favorite statement in the video: I'm naked, don't do that. Great job on recovering/restoring the drone, and the sail cover -kudos!

Absolutely beautiful sewing job. I love that you have a sewing machine. At 9:32 I saw a hanging saying about wind and sails. I wrote this on my social media about 2 weeks ago. Just a thought. I love the old adage, “You can’t change the wind, but you can set your sails.” It reminds me that there are some things in life I can not change, BUT I still have options to move forward despite those forces. Most of the time it is hard. It is hard because wind, like so many things in the human experience, is beyond my control. The very notion of the mountainous size of that which I have no control over is poised to keep me on the shore or battered against the rocks. Sailing against the wind seems impossible, like swimming upstream. The first day of sailing training I learned that I could sail almost directly into the wind. Well, 30 to 40 degrees just off the center point of the wind. It was the sail dynamics and its shape that made it possible. A properly trimmed sail can move me just about anywhere. Sometimes at a crawl, sometimes reefed once or twice due to the strength of the wind. There are times the wind is too strong to sail so I must set an anchor and wait. Still, it’s ironic that the very thing that can keep me on shore can be harnessed to take me to the place of my destination. All it takes is for me to find the courage to hoist the sail, to set the trim, to unhook and let go of whatever is holding me back. No horizon is reached by looking back. Sails need to be hoisted or they are useless. Once hoisted, it takes work to trim them into the right shape for the current wind. Sails take constant monitoring because the wind is never the same one moment to the next. Sailing has taught me that even when I have done all the right things and followed all the right charts and plot points, something can reach out from under the surface and ground me, try to sink me, or slowly put a drag on my progress. Sailing is exhausting. So is life. I choose to set a sail every day. I study the charts of my current position and begin the work to hoist my sail into the wind and let go so I can move forward. In my journey I discover things I forgot to pack, take care of, or things neglected before I cast off my line. I take notes of those things and begin the process of taking care of them before I finish my sail, my day, my journey. I try not to make the same mistake twice. When I do, I make another note, try another strategy, or fix to get it right. But regardless, I continue to set a sail every day. I choose to do so each day until I am no longer a citizen of the living community of earth. I check my compass, adjust my course, and raise a sail.

Great job on the videos. Your channel is one of the top sailing channels out there! It’s great to see how far you all have come and inspire so many. My wife and I have watched every video. Keep inspiring the world! Channels like your have inspired us to sail around the world. We are in the planning stage now. So thank you @WEsail

Christmas in February, why not? Good work on the drone and the sail cover. Warren. Great video! Thank you.

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

Excellent job on the sail bag Warren and congrats on saving the drone. I still can't quite comprehend tropical Christmases; but I guess it's what you're used to!

OK. Mountain climbing skills confirmed. Carry on then 👍

You should carry contact spray for electrical components, it is like Cheep insurance .love you KZfaq channel 🦋🐬🐬😎👍⛵️ have a wonderful week.🍷🍷

Great video, all the way through, Drone shots too. So obviously you did a good fix on it. We still just have The Phantom 3 from 2015 era, seem to like them the best, but then we’re to old to go “hiking in the mountains” with it in a backpack 🎒

As always, a very groovy video. WOW! Mr. Fix It. Sail cover, broken drone, WOW. Clever holiday underwater pictures. Love it with the StingRay. Thanks again for sharing you totally cool, far out and bitchin' sailing adventures with me. I really dig watching them each week. Stay safe and stay groovy.

I've seen someone cut up a noodle and zip tie a piece on each side. They do make one now that is waterproof. It can take off and land in the water. It looks pretty awesome and expensive.

You 2 are always so happy

Once again… where do I start. Fixing boats, fixing drones… what can you NOT do? Great climbing footage too (I’m assuming the drone footage from the mountains was taken on a different day, either pre, or post, drone mishap. Either way “spectacular” only begins to describe it. ❤️

Can’t get enough of your beautiful videos! ❤ from Canada 🇨🇦

It is always great to come in for lunch and watch another one of your video thanks.

Hey guys, this is my comment from the other day that got deleted somehow.....let's see what happens this time.....Warren, great job on saving the drone and making that sail bag....I know who to come to for canvas work.....Erica, after a day of go for it partying and then "Baby Wake Up" you might never get blueberry pancakes again....lol.....I'm betting yall didn't get lucky last night.....no green flash.......cheers with a Bloody Mary

Really nice job on the sail bag! and way to go with the drone. Well done.

Carry a jar of rice n put the stuff for 06 hrs it will work

Buy a splash drone. I've never seen a dji not malfunction eventually and over water=bye bye.

Erica, the pufferfish are "sea puppies" 🐶 and you need to play with them and give the puppies treats (krill or shrimp). Good to see you two finally scheduled your hangover day properly. Awesome video, thank you for bringing us with each week, I love it and it makes my Wednesdays. Cheers

Great video guys, I’m so jealous of where you are and your life right now. 😘

Looks like it was a blast.

Really nice video guys 👏🏽👏🏽

Sail cover looks great…….. But it doesn’t match then cushions anymore. Warren in your free time, how about some new cushions. You guys are great.

So you got the drone fixed before the mountain climb.......or you had a second one. Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice 👍 And........did we see a "pregnancy survival kit"?" Something you wanna share 😊🎉 ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝 👙 🌞 ✨ Totally loved the underwater Christmas / New Year captures.✨🎄✨

WHY do you sailors hike wearing flip flops? I've got this inventory of necessary items for cruising in my head. Good light hikers is in it. Thanks for another wonderful, fun, informative vid.

Look into getting a splash drone…

You guys are so cool putting together all kinds of little events in your little part-time community at anchor. That's so awesome

I have seen when water has been removed by using uncooked rice packed around drone fully ... in a Air tight zip lock bag for day or two ...

I’m not gonna lie I thought it would be tragically funny after Todd took off in the beach if you flew it into a palm tree. Lord, I apologize.

This is a test....

February 15th and you’re posting videos of Christmas. Is that a normal time delay ? Love your videos but had to ask.
