@SailingParadiseFalls9 күн бұрын
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!

While not exactly the same, as an American who has lived abroad the past 13 years, I relate to wanting some American foods/brands/ restaurant chains. It’s comfort food as you said. As time goes by, however, it does get easier to accept. Plus, I go back to the US a couple times a year which helps.

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.

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.
