Take a smaller boat through the rivers and lakes of the US. We boat in North Alabama on the TN River. You can leave from here and go anywhere in the world while seeing more than just blue water. Great marinas and yacht clubs along the way and a great way to see the country side along with some large cities depending on which way you go. Love watching you guys honestly living life and raising a beautiful family, be it on a farm, on a boat or both! Go out there and live!

It is you and your family that we love, not the boat. We will follow your life wherever you go. We are now in our 80's and have owned and cruised 5 large boats including one Nordhavn. But we don't need to see spray on the camera lens to like your channel. I want to see the farm, animals, kids, school and everything that goes into life.

I like your channel - mostly the boating part. I think you should consider Scandinavia (April - September). I have been cruising with my Grand Banks for many years. Mostly calm and flat waters in the archipelago. Only Stockholm have 30 000 islands. I can give you a lot of tips. All the best!

Hi there guys, great update. What a cute puppy! Your sister will have a great dog. As far as your future, I'm a fan of you having a bigger boat for the family. And I think Nordhavn is your best bet. Whatever you both think is best. I have seen so many couples be able to easily use the N76. Seems like a perfect fit for your family. Not sure if that's in the budget, but they always seem to be having them on their company website. Safe travels, can't wait to see what is next for you all. Loved the Christmas videos inthis update

Happies and Merries to al of you. So glad to see you doing so well. A happy crew!! So, we of course never got a chance to see you while we were on our boats along with your boat in Stuart or the islands. (Maybe if I say ‘islands’, you’ll rush your schedule!) Since July, we’ve been having our Defever 44 restored, which is what we bought it for. The varnish on the caprails and hand rails is all knew. Bare wood and 14 Coates of varnish. The house and decks are are getting painted. All the stantions are getting worked on and shined. We have three layers of s/s getting polished and the s/s on the side of each layer of wood (the woods shiny bumpers!). Hull color is still white, house is creamy all mixed with new shiny white paint. All new window screens and matching color Bimini with enclosure. We’re looking to get out of Florida by May 1, and head as north as we can get until weather changes. I can’t take another summer hurricane season in se Florida. Nope. Anyway. Cool to catch up, sorry so long winded. Bobby and Michelle Aka: Red Alfa Man 2 dogs now. A two year old and a 10 month old (Cavalier King Charles Spanials. And our two parrots. Our and ugh and thaw!!! B

'Love the Family dynamics and watching the kids thrive with a non traditional education and a life experience very few will ever have. I'll be surprised if you leave the Nordhavn Brand based on your familiarity and the community you've built while cruising. Perhaps consider a Flemming 65, or Grand Banks. Efficient, but faster when you want or need it. What do I know, I'm happy with my BW17. 😅 Please share with us the thought process in choosing and eventual commissioning of your next Yacht. Brooke and Braden, thank you for sharing. Happy 2025. Be well. @danamax17

Love Fred, as for what to see? All of it, as for boating, maybe inland water ways stuff. You are by the river that you can go anywhere on??? if not river stuff, a Bering or Flemming would be nice. Happy Birthday and to a great 2025! I just moved from the SF Bay area after 55 years (went to middle school in New Port Beach in the 70's) of sailing on the bay, delta and ocean. I am loving Tennessee.

Extremely dependable, indestructible, quiet and safe… go on long distances and made for long trips and you would have plenty of capacity and good fuel efficiency…….
