A very Merry Christmas to you

Because you are from America I thought you used this system. In the metric world, 2.2 Celcis is the temperature at a 1 bar vacuum which is a 14.7psi vacuum in America, and 32 degrees is freezing, and 0 is freezing metric world. 2.2 Celcis = 36 degrees in Florida and that is too cold in your home.

Not many foreigners had our rojak and bbq stingray, 👍

Lol, Satay by the Bay has to be a really bad introduction to our Hawker Centres. Oh well, at least you seemed to enjoy the food.

Interesting seeing all the familiar name brands on the groceries you’re buying in Singapore. As for 14 days of non-frozen food, I was thinking Spam, Spam, and more Spam.

great video. Singapore has a lot to offer. Even after ten years we still found new things to do and amazing places to eat. For sure the best country we lived in. Yet when it comes to pleasure crafts? Thats not their forte. But in the mid of Asia its a pearl. Hope you have a great journey. Lots to see before you arrive. Langkawi (BOAT PARTS ARE TAXFREE HERE, and plenty available), Penang, Rok Nok, its all lovely. Phuket is a nice place with several marinas and decent anchorages. Our Favorit bay to anchor is at Ko Yao Yai.

Beautiful!!!❤❤❤😎👍👍👍

Thank you for sharing the journey. A nice episode.

Thank you

I'm sorry, could you say that again? Dometic told you that their aircon is not working because of HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURE!? Isn't it what air conditioners are for? 😀

This is the third (I think) episode where you use the old intro with Kieran being 12. Nostalgia? 🙂

Thank you.

Why didn’t you miss a weather window,which I rather do just to stay a little longer in sg, please don’t rush like that again

Thank you

I went to A/C school in 1961 and found that the chemical companies don't give a fiddler's damn if you are hot. I have the answer for people who live in a hot environment. Water is the best refrigerant. When you draw a perfect vacuum on water the temperature goes down to 36 degrees. You look up the numbers. Most refrigerators and air-con units have to pump nearly 200 psi to operate. Water needs less than 15 psi to go down to 36 degrees. This ice water could be added to a water bed and keep you very cool. No Amish kid ever goes autistic they get no vaccines they are the brightest kids Don't let them know that you know.

The ‘cloud” was beautiful ❤ it looked like y’all had a great time, except for being hot.😢 it’s very refreshing to see cruisers having awesome adventures, there is no drama or click bait. You make it fun to watch, thank you❤

For someone who claims that they aren’t handy, you sure do an amazing job!

You do a great job on so many fronts….trust me when I say your channel will continue to grow, your content is easy to watch. Cheers and happy holidays. 🍻🤗

You wait until you have done 200,000 miles...and you have re-learned stuff and made the same mistakes over and over.....maybe I am not very bright.....I have got better at recovering from my mistakes.

Luv ur awesome family!❤ Thanks 4 taking me along, I truly wish I could hang out 4 real!! God bless n stay safe!!!❤❤❤😎👍👍👍

Great video, As an old salty with 40+ years of sailing experience and well over 40000nm (stopped counting there) under the keel I so recognize all you’re saying. We normally gave the weather a quick look, not like we see now with total route planning. Maybe we'll go that way, but so far. I keep to the thought that previous weather is known, and that determines the sea-state, furthermore you can see the weather that you will have for the next few hours. Anything beyond is still guessing. Sure, I did some weather courses etc. but nothing is certain. Planning for 5 days a head a bit of a lie to self. Just avoid the big hurricane fronts, and we do not sail out at bft5 or above. To give you an idea of our approach. There has been a few developments since I learned sailing in northern Europe as a young boy, computers did not exist. Ais? Radar? The industry has actually woken up the last twenty years. And now AI is entering our space. So it is finally getting easier for people to jump in and get the experience, because that’s what it is about. And then in my book it’s about the wind in your hair, the beauty of nature, the companionship with friends and family. I used to escape to the boat to sail to get some quiet and read a book, but nowadays we have wifi and mobiles everywhere. Learning to sail is not so complex, learning to understand all mechanics behind it a different story. But with some common sense and a decent boat I agree that most people can do it. Boat life does give you higher highs and lower lows, that’s true. But over time even that flattens out. I can say after living on board for ca 15 years. Bad experiences stick and give you the experience that the next time you act just better, instruct others with more confidence etc. Miles do count. Success in Singapore lah, My previous home country (Home is where the boat is). If you are still there during Newyear. The fireworks are free to watch in one location around the bay. Its a big government controlled show. A great place to see them is "gardens by the bay" just bring your food or go on top of marina bay sands. Have fun.

What a great episode guys we are going to buy a catamaran it’s great to hear the thoughts of people doing it . Safe travels. Daz & Kaz

What a fantastic episode. Been watching for a little bit but first comment is now. Thank you for this advice. We are just shy of 3 months from leaving full time. I love how you said it’s easy to have boat envy. We are in a wooden 40 foot monohull because that’s what we could afford. It’s better we do our travels in this boat instead of waiting till we can afford a bigger more beautiful one, because we are old enough to know we won’t ever think we have enough and we won’t ever go. I also love “finding your true north” we have a 13 year old we are pulling out of her second year of high school. She’s devastated and doesn’t want to go, our focus is family and having this precious time together before she grows up (she’s our last). This is so important to us as parents and we will need to stay focused on that and remember that on tough days. Thank you from Hervey Bay Qld.

Fair Winds and I do enjoy ur adventures

Great video, guys. You hit a lot of good points. I remember when you took off. I'm two years older now, which means I'm way way beyond sailing the world, rather than way beyond sailing the world. But that's OK, I could write a book about my life's crazy adventures. I'm delighted watching your family's adventures and your kids grow up and experience the world. Fair winds.

Great advice!

This was a great video guys! I can’t get over how much Kieran & Eily have grown, it’s amazing. Thank you for everything & everyplace you go. ❤

What a great episode I love these little talks like this. My goodness the years have been ticking by haven't they but I always knew you would succeed in sailing

thank you for your thoughts on cruising!

The kids stranded on an island? Has Kieran read Lord of the Flies yet? 😂

“Incoming coming!” Kieran cracked me up - boys his age occasionally still want to be cuddled, but they’d never admit it.

Emergency boat repair - not fun for you but makes a good video.

My daughters get bummed when there’s not much of Eily

Looks fun❤❤

Nice❤❤

Fantastic... I hope one day you are come Back in indonesia and visiting my city maluku ambon Have a nive trips guys...❤

Bali island

Komodo island....lombok island

The crossing is in two parts. If you look at the map for the sister islands. Cross just before and the main lane is in two parts with plenty of space in between where big ships do not go. The actual crossing just a few hundred meters hence should not be a problem unless severe weather. Singapore engineers know all about engine replacement but for repairs you can get all parts in the industrial complexes near Jurong. Definitely try fix it yourself unless you have a very deep wallet.

To use a phrase from our boys. . . ."crossing the shipping lane to Singapore on one engine hurts my feel goods!"

Why would you not have called the Coast guard and advise them of your situation? Just asking

You have come so far since your maiden voyage. You are kicking butt and taking names. I hope you didn't fry your engine. You may have sucked something into your saltwater intake. But of course, you know what happened by now. I am just a simpleton from the US watching the turmoil with anticipation(LOL). | Like I said, you've come a long way. Great job. I look forward to seeing what happens next week.

Wow, I was a might nervous myself!! Luuuv the vids, plz be safe n God bless!!!❤❤️❤️🙏😎👍👍👍

Hold Fast. Have fun.

Please be careful, have fun & be safe❤

Hehe.. love you guys ❤ you're the real adventurous person ❤❤❤❤

There is a good Indonesian movie based on good novel series that I think promoted Belitung islands for Indonesians to the next level. That movie titled "Laskar Pelangi" (2008). After that movie achieved critical success, many friends and families visited Belitung islands and all of them expressed Belitung's natural beauty as "amazing."

omg, i'd love to

welcome to INDONESIA, we are family here..❤🇲🇨

We are an sailorman...... Indonesian is almost a fisherman too.
