Will do! Thank you for your support!

Thank you😊

That is such a compliment! Thank you for the kind words. We are doing it and it is more amazing than we ever imagined!!

Yay! Glad to hear bc you’re never quite sure! Thank you for the feedback!

He has come SO far and just swam with humpback whales this morning! Best thing we’ve ever done for him was move out of the suburbs!

Thank you! Just trying to show typical cruising life bc it’s a wide range of things! We appreciate your comment!

😊⛵️🌎

We do try and I tried to show us asking locals. It is a beautiful place! I think about you now with every place we struggle to pronounce 😊

Oh how I don’t miss Jim Cantori with the weather channel!!! Stay safe!!!

It seems like we were just there too! Almost coming on 1 year since we sailed away from there. We often can’t believe how far we have come This past year😊

Thank you so much for following our little adventure!

Awwwww! It used to be Rob & I’s Sunday morning too before getting ready for church. She has taken us to some AMAZING places and we are so thankful to have this opportunity! Thank you for following along!!!😊

Thank you! We are trying! It’s hard to balance all the miles, having fun, making videos and boat work. Rob is my hero and is LOVING boat life (we are do😉). We appreciate you following along!

It will be here before you know it!!! Take notes and learn from our mistakes😉 Hoping we fuel your desire for the next 2yrs of our circumnavigation!

It was a great dive for sure!

😊

Not that we found, but it's a big and busy place so you never know! #REDDEADREDEMPTION

There’s a lot to adapt to so we are just going with the new flow😊

Thank you! I’m glad it comes across that way!!! Appreciate the feedback 😊

I love the grocery stores too just seeing how others live!

Thanks, will do!

Believe it or not we really do try 😩

After 1yr aboard I think we are adapting. French Polynesia was amazing. We are looking forward to the adventures ahead!

Thanks for watching!!!😊

Yes, we learned that☹️ we have had a lot easier time with apps, FB and WhatsApp group for sure! There have been changes since we watched the Wynns go through FP but yes, it feels like some others will not ever change. Such a wonderful experience but sadly it feels like circumnavigating is becoming hardier due to the government’s coming down hard and making cruising very difficult (in some places, not all!)

Thank you!!!😊

Absolutely!!! It’s much higher in area that are popular with charter boats. Its ok, we just smile and wave 😊

Thank you! I’m trying to incorporate more of that just more time consuming. It’s hard balancing having fun out here and sitting down to put together the videos, but I’m definitely still trying😉

Thank you!!

Thank you! Will do!

Rob certainly has but since closing the boat I”ve gained 😩 I am a lot more sedentary bc there is ALOT of sitting on a boat and I eat out of boredom or stress. Both can be high on a boat. I also ate high protein lower carb at home which was easy but out here a lot of islands have tons of packaged and processed shelf stable foods and less fresh foods. Rob is the opposite and forgets to eat on a boat bc there is so much on his mind especially during passages. We are trying to find balance!

@@SailingParadiseFalls I can see the difference though especially around your face, you look younger, slimmer and very radiant. Give yourself some credit here. All that hardwork. We see the great difference. You can always add a short routine to your mornings and exercise on the boat, 15 min of weight training can help. I bet in your community of sailors many are regularly exercising on their vessels. You can even record your short sessions for us to get inspired. Small steps can lead to bigger gains. You got this!

I definitely appreciate your encouragement!!

Yes, little comforts from home are always nice!!! Popcorn sustained Davis and I the majority of our Pacific crossing😊

If was one of our first videos but thanks for your comment. 😊

Thanks so much for the encouragement! Don't know that we will get that far south as we are moving much quicker through the rest of the Pacific to catch weather windows. You can check out our Patreon. You can get info about any upcoming events that we may have. Thanks for following our journey!

Thank you! I am often perceived as negative but it’s just showing reality out here. I wish I would have known some of these things prior. All that said, it’s a pretty incredible journey. Thanks for following along!

Thank you for the encouragement!!!😊

Thank you! Yes we do! Rob REALLY loves it but me not so much. I ruptured my left ear drum several years ago diving and have issues w it every time I go down. Davis is starting to study for his PADI certification this summer. Thanks for watching!

Yes, it’s just comfort food. This is all so new and forge in for us (especially Davis) it’s so comforting to find something from home. Sadly, we don’t have it in our budget to dock the boat and fly home (except for an emergency) but saved points to fly our kids out here. We thought they would enjoy seeing new places but they are all busy enjoying college life. Hopefully, someone will visit us soon!

Thank you & thanks for watching😉

Thank you!!

So, sadly due to the horrendous way the company is ran the brokers don’t stay long. Ours was fired and I never would recommend her to anyone! Bill Reagan was with them but I heard he left. Keep asking in groups and you have to specifically ask for that broker with your first contact or you will get who you get. Best of luck!

We have saved our credit card points for years and use it for hotels and airlines. It was free thanks to Hilton Honors program otherwise we would have had an alone night on the boat. The fare drop channel by Kara and Nate have great info on using credit cards to travel.

Thank you!!! It was an exciting day for sure to get our inverter back! We survived and made the most of 8 weeks without it😊

I don’t think they were complaining about the price they had to pay ! More just comparing and letting us arm chair sailors what it’s really like out there !

I apologize if it came off that I was complaining about the prices. We expected that and budgeted accordingly going in. Many have asked to show what typical grocery stores and prices look like so I was just sharing although, it’s still hard to pay 3x the price for something but we totally and willingly pay for it since it’s such work to get the items to these places. Thank you for your comment & watching!

They weren’t complaining, they were just stating what they were. It is interesting to hear these things as an arm chair sailor.

@@SailingParadiseFalls No need to apologize! If any one should, it's me. I'm probably overly sensitive and a bit envious because I lost my husband to brain cancer recently and would love to be doing what you guys are with him. We loved lake boating but never had the nerve you both did to go big like that. I hope you all make and enjoy every memory you can together!

I am SO sorry for your loss! Losing my father and sister in their 40’s was a huge motivating factor for us to do this now as we are never guaranteed tomorrow. I hope our videos provide you will a little bit of joy and happiness😊 Huge hugs!

Yes, I e realized that and am working on learning better shooting techniques. Sorry to make you sick! I feel that way today too being our 4th day on passage.

Lots of prayer? A boat next to us put out 2 anchors. There are ways, but the biggest is you just always have to be aware and know your neighbors! We love the cruising community! Countless stories of helping each other out in times of need In just about every anchorage we have been in, there has been at least 1 boat that has drug their anchor. If someone isn't on the boat, others will try and help get it secured.

@@SailingParadiseFalls we definitely got exposed to the generosity of the cruiser lifestyle last week. Our training was an unmitigated disaster. I hope my question wasn’t taken as anything but Genuine curiosity.

We sensed the curiosity😊 The rude people just say we are flat out stupid or something crazy. 😆

@@SailingParadiseFalls tell me about it. My monster in law literally prayed for us to have a horrible trip to dissuade us. It’s crazy. You ever hear of the psychological thought experiment of chimps that get sprayed by a fire hose for going after some bandanas? I swear it’s just like that.

I should add that the boat owners thought this was normal boat life.

Great question! It’s a totally different scenario when you are away from Florida and out on anchor. Go back and watch our earlier episodes where our SB AC unit broke while outfitting. It’s a must especially if in a marina in FL. Since we’ve been traveling we honestly never use it. You sort of get used to the heat and while at anchor your always pointed in the direction of the wind. Fans are definitely a must and we installed 6 additional and have a great power fan we use all around the boat. Our friends installed the Mabru 12v AC’s and have been told they are pretty useless. Another friend has one that uses less power and they run theirs a lot.

@@SailingParadiseFallsi guess you guys have been in the southern hemisphere since summer in the northern hemisphere. You were in panama in April or may, and crossed in june?

We crossed the canal in March, Left for French Polynesia in April.

@@SailingParadiseFalls ok, that makes sense. You got out before it got insanely hot. Smart planning

It was GLORIOUS!!! You have no idea as Americans how grateful we are to have huge stores on every corner and Amazon prime for everything else. It’s definitely a lot hardier in other parts of the world but we are adapting. 😊

Thank you very much! Some days I just feel like giving up but I want to make these videos as memories for us to watch when we are back in land. It’s a little if work and I always enjoy watching them when completed. Thank you for the encouragement!!
