Amazing & inspiring to see how far you've come in a year - from "Buying a catamaran may have been a mistake" to "reefing the jib" in the middle of the Pacific 🙂 Godspeed to you and your beautiful family. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJzMgWOfi8SNY6c

Your hull looks heavy in the water. How close are you to your displacement weight. The more "stuff" you carry, the more load on your rigging. Your boat is trying to react to the wind waves, motion and all so it's finding hard to accelerate or lift or lean or react due to the big pendulum that is your "stuff". Spares, clothes, food, fuel, toys. Just curious if it has all been factored in already. Maybe it's just an illusion caused by every available space being used for something. Entertaining as always and obviously you survived the crossing because we are watching it. Happy new year 😂

New Zealand!!! You guys are rockin it. Getting those miles under your belt/sails.

Great content, glad to see y’all made it. I saw y’all on Rob and Shannon’s channel, looks like y’all are living the best life! Enjoyed the great content and y’all’s calm nature even during rough seas!! Safe travels! Happy New Year!

Tuna!

Love this beautiful “southern” family, God Bless you and your continued adventures 🎉❤

Flying fish fly to get away from predators. Makes the best bait

This is so great to watch when it’s snowing so bad here

If I ever have the chance to sail across the Pacific, I hope my sailing partner is exactly like your wife.

What a great video. I can't wait to see the rest of the crossing. I'm so jealous. LOL

Great job on the video

Gread Video again! Love the positivity! Its not often families get good quality time together for an extended time like this! You will look back with pride and love. Im from Green Cove Springs area in FL and yall remind me of home. Moved 2 years ago and i miss it sorely!

Have yall thought about doing a hand line? Never done it myself but been watching the Nahoa's channel and they swear by it.

If you flip your eggs each day and keep in dark areas they will keep good for a month.

Wow, this is exciting. Big long voyage knowing that the enchanted isles of French Polynesia lie at the end of the rainbow. Working well together. Terrific catch, Dan on the rod! Baking them cookies was a great idea, no matter how they look. Mom keeping the spirits up. Your discussions about safety concerns and having a positive attitude are interesting.

You guys are becoming salty sailors. Keep having fun and making good memories. Happy New year.

So funny when Jules realized you said 2 weeks to go. 🤣

Only watching for short time, but it seems like momma wanting this adventure to fail. #Sabotage

Love the videos! I bet when you got there you had a great feeling of accomplishment! I always take my lazy jack lines to the end of their life and they bust on me. It's like there are so many other things going on that need replacing that I just overlook them and they remind me later, when it's too late. 😁

Beautiful video of an awesome sail. 👍💯📸

love the new vid

I'll take a ride on the waterslide😂 currently 22° in Indiana awaiting 6-12 inches of snow.

Came across your channel about a month ago. Excellent job with videos. Thank you for sharing your trip and I really like the humor.

Hey great content! I’m enjoying living vicariously through your journey. While watching Rob and Shannon (Paradise falls) I saw y’all made it to New Zealand, can’t wait to see your pacific passage! Safe travels Happy New Year!

Well I just binged watched your entire journey up until the Galapagos, I'm contemplating something similar with a boat similar to what you have. I own a ranch in Southeast Idaho and I am contemplating selling everything and buying a catamaran. I'm not sure that I really have a desire to go around the earth as much as I want to live freely in the Caribbean and Bahamas. I really enjoy the videos and I'm very grateful for how real you guys keep your experiences. Safe journeys Raphael

When I went, I spent $800 on fuel and water bladders I kept on deck so I could motor right pass all those rules and regulations and continue to Marquesas. It took me 30 days to get there from PC, but when I got there, my fuel tank was 3/4th full and water tank was full. They said I was the first boat ever that didn't need anything when I got there.

I just saw you in New Zealand with your friends on Paradise Falls.

Thanks for all the info on the golopolis islands good luck for the next leg.

What an awesome family you are, your kids just make me smile❤ poor Daniel & the potty problems😢

Wow, again so much prep to do! Unending tasks for Daniel, who does yeoman's work keeping on top of everything. Your cheerful attitude and family activities are a pleasure to watch. A fun excursion on Isabela, evading all the boardwalk bullies. Your assessment of whether to stop at the Galapagos, at video's end, was well considered. 💯 It does seem that officials aim to squeeze guests, to 'lighten their load' as much as possible before they move on. Even the sea lions help themselves to whatever they can find on your boat! But also a lot of positives, as you said. Now it's on to your biggest voyage! JuJu, at least, is excited for the trip! 😅 A terrific destination! In my opinion, the most amazing islands on the planet. 😀

You guys do a great job of giving real life analysis! Remember.... drive fast and take chances

You guys crack me up! Thanks for sharing.

I know this was in May, but Happy Mother's Day! That was really cute. Stay safe and see you next week.

So, what ended up being wrong with AIS? - Thanks for video

Three thousand dollars to see some blue footed boobies. I’ll pass

I guess it’s safe to assume y’all did enough provisioning, since you are still responding to comments. Daniel should get one of the battery operated water line cleaners like Zatara uses in their videos. The poor guy never seems to get a break. Enjoyed watching again. Stay safe!!

Love your videos, you are really up front with what you do and a real nice family. Keep up the good work. I'll always be watching.

Enjoy watching. Like Daniel honesty.

At the Jessa looked mad when you said 21 day passage 😅

I just seen yall on a beautiful whine tour in a very different country! Well done and glad yall made it safe! I wont give it up..

I love how yall show it all! Even whats hidden behind the door! Thank you for not being OCD perfection

Cutest family ever.. BTW is it possible to scuba dive from a private vessel + a local guide, or do you have to be on a group trip

We are so proud of you guys! To think how far you have (gone) in only a short couple of years. We remember when you took delivery out of Harbour Towne Marina and you were struggling to get the sails down. Congratulations on a job well done! Merry Christmas and safe travels!

I avoid Galapagos wherever possible. The trip to the Marquesas is easier & faster without stopping in Galapagos and there is little worth seeing.

“To God be the GLORY!” You guys just lost me.

Thank you for this great episode! Happy Holidays to your family❤

Happy to see more Galapagos torties, They're good fellas. Also liked the crabbies climbing the rocks, and the pirates' den. Didn't think much of that taxi you were required to use. They did have a good post office (if a little slow), and the Machete crew on an important mission now to get those letters delivered safely.

What a wonderful episode thank you so much for sharing this beautiful adventure. Little John had me laughing when he said I’ll throw up 10 times. Please stay safe and have a very merry Christmas and we’ll see you next time.
