you got to have a thimble brother ... good idea to invest in a sewing machine also

Crazy you get this for free.

Hi, love your channel and adventures! My wife and I are nearing full retirement and like other non sailors, our experience has only been on a few Royal Caribbean cruises and a day sail on an inland lake. We're both scuba divers and love the water, and are contemplating the catamaran lifestyle at some point, (understandably, this would be after a crewed charter to see if we like the lifestyle, lessons, and then a few more charters before outlaying capital for a boat), one of my wife's lingering questions/concerns are would she get bored or stir crazy looking out at endless blue all the time during passages, and doing maintenance all day is not her idea of a retirement-traveling. My thought is most of our travels would be island hopping in the Caribbean and not passage making at this time, but who knows. Your insights and perspectives would be most appreciative, thx.

Ok, so how do you log into signals?

There shouldn’t be a block at the clew of the foresail. If that hits done one on the head you may not tell the story. It’s dangerous.

I remember OpenCPN was quite unstable on my android phone

This software looks like a Windows 98 wet dream.

Well certainly many challenges but you guys seem to always make it work. Very interesting video and some great scenery. I hope you eventually find your spot and get some eggs. Great video as always

Just so thankful for your shared videos. Wishing you all the best and good times.

Get some rest 😴

Bummer on all the roadblocks. 😢 Certainly not as friendly as other channels indicate. It will be good indeed to get some rest and find some provisions. 🙌🏻🙌🏻 See you next time. ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝️👙🌞✨

also more info on the sensors you have onboard (fridge temps, bilge wet/dry?, etc) and how that data is collected

I'd be interested in more detail about how you've interface the NUC to NMEA so it gets all the instrument data .. would you recommend the Digital Yachts ikommunicate or some other route?

I watch many sailing channels. What is going on in Tahiti? Upset locals and angry dogs. Have they decided they don't need tourist dollars? I'm glad you found a tranquil resting spot.

Be careful swimming in this anchorage, in Moorea. One of our friends lost there son a couple of years ago, due to a speeding tourist boat racing through the anchorage.

🧿👍

That would be very stressful. For all its beauty and calmness underwater it seems a bit chaotic on or near land. Its not like a car trip where you can find the next rest area and get some rest. But I did so love the underwater scenes. So tranquil, who knew so much florescence could be so calming.

Thank you for taking us along on your adventure.

FIRST comment!

I am a linux engineer and a sailor I will be happy to build system like yours as I have none - just a tablet with navionics it will be nice to have detailed video on it internals and have a links (affiliate) to all components

More radio goodness! Gotta love it! lol

"Did we leave Saturday?" I thought every day was Saturday!?!? lmao

As a truck driver it did my heart good hearing that folks on boats use their radios the same way we do in trucks.... to tell idiots they're being idiots!

My husband and I are also about to live on a boat and sail as well! ❤

Great video, thumbs up! Happy to learn what OpenCPN and SignalK, which I've never heard of, can do, I'll definitely look into that too as we're about to move aboard. Was a little bummed to hear you've got many Tb of pirated movies, etc. Having friends in the film-making business, I can assure you that downloading movies, music, etc, w/o paying hurts far more people than Lady Gaga, Brad Pitt, Mr. Bean or Harvey Weinstein. Watch the credits at the end of movie, there are literally hundreds of non-zillionaires working the industry trying to survive. Sorry, not trying to preach, ok, maybe I am, but just my PSA for doing it the right way. Not judging, got plenty of close friends who do the same. Hope we'll see you out there someday soon.

How long did you take to get tou this result?

Where is the fresh foods video? I can't seem to find it :(

Wish you would have showed more pictures of the completed system.

How were you able to directly save the track to the SIM card in the B&G? Assuming it's on the network and somehow the card is mounted as a shared drive from your OpenCPN system?

Great video guys! Stay safe… missing ya’ll!!

You are living my dream, I can experience it through you guys, count your blessing and keep going! Thank you!

Another great video you are clearly a competent and professional bow watch. I love seeing the team work, which brings smiles. I hope your weather improves. Continue to enjoy and be safe.

Some Sensational Sunsets and Sunrises 😍 Great Chilled Epi 📹 Is there a reason why Ray likes the handlines over a good Boat Rod 🎣 Cheers Mick & Nikki 🇦🇺

Thank you so very much and wish you all the best! Fair winds and nice times!

@10:51 What's up with the sombraro and the teletubbie on your outboard! So... weird... :)

I saw that pink sky and you said good morning and I thought dang here it comes. Like sleeping in the washing machine. Still, so pretty out there.

I’ve been binge watching your vids. I’m at 1 year ago, 7 days offshore. Your videos went from good to excellent. Really enjoying!!!!

Glad to see you guys on KZfaq again. I am a friend of your grandmother Gladys.

What editing software are you using on your IPAD

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice episode, guys‼️ Totally love the yellow SABADO t-shirt💕 BTW, the video of the weather was just fine👍🏻 Some glorious colors for sure……especially the 1st one where you mentioned the lighting was weird. Beautiful transition from shallow light blue to deeper blue to the shimmering storm/twilight on the surface. F.a.b.u.l.o.u.s.🎉🎉🎉 See you next time. ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝️👙🌞✨

Lovely! I watch a lot of sailing channels and you guys and Sailing Nahoa are my favorites! Love the laidback presentation.

Haha that’s the ocean. 6ft waves are nothing.

Are the 6ft seas in the room with us 😂

Nice bird 🐦

Oh god I miss Sailing😢😊
