3 Things We Made to Survive 2 Months L0CKD0WN - Ep 115 Sailing Luckyfish

[@RutherfordGeorge]

While Leo is so young suggest making a chest harness with a line attached to the rear which will be more secure and more comfortable than an ankle or tummy tie. Have fun and keep the videos coming.

[@SailingLuckyfish]

great suggestion - its in progress thank you very much

[@sicchuckie]

Catfish are the cleanup crew. Yamahas are great until they are not

[@Nizchka61]

Very cool can/bottle opener you two created! Lol

[@shoresharp8349]

Barracuda is a great eating fish try it sometime!

[@dontuckwood7921]

Leo is the cutest little boy I have ever seen. What a great personality.

[@soggybottom3463]

What a treat, lovely movie, great job guys. That deckshade just knocks my socks off. And Leo already speaks more clearly than many a chap I've worked with...xx fair winds all xx

[@SailingLuckyfish]

deck shade has to be experienced.. so many positives. even cools the breeze before reaching the pod.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Big adventures with a little one. Awesome!

[@SailingLuckyfish]

It sure is! Hope you guys are coping OK. Are you still in Pacific or SE Asia now?

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

@@SailingLuckyfish we are in Australia. Got hit by lightning pre Christmas and have only recently got mobile again. Plan to sail to NZ but waiting for new Caledonia to open borders to sail back that way. All well here. Rachel had a six month break on producing KZbin episodes but is back into. Such alot of time to produce though fun in the making.

I know I am making a second comment , but your are videos are great. I use a old s7 myself and I am playing catch up on your videos, I took time out from social media for almost a year. you sell the wharrem so sell , I looked a a few online here. smaller ,home made , old etc, but for a handy man affordable boats . even your and zyas back story is quite amazing, so much more than meets the eye. then add the boat sell off and split, new people . how great, you 3 are amazing.

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Awesome! Thank you very much

[@gasguzzler69]

stew and zaya ,you enjoy leo he is into everything you two are. dadda you are working on the motor and he is right there with you learning. I can see on your faces that you two are, but just a reminder m8. my kids are all grown up now , so I only get moments like that with my grandkids now. cheers davo :)

[@SailingLuckyfish]

too true. thank you!

[@sirluckflorida]

Can't wait to see what happens next. Leo is just a gem and his mom and you are both tops!

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Thanks Sir great name :-)

[@sirluckflorida]

@@SailingLuckyfish Thanks Stew, Zaya and Leo My wife Nancy has been known as Lady Luck since she was a little girl (and she is VERY lucky), so when we got together it was a natural for me to be Sir Luck (Kenny). She has always been afraid that I will make good on my goal to retire and be a "boat bum", but she is interested in maybe doing some day sailing now that she has seen the advantages of cats vs monos. If they ever let us out of lockdown, we are going to try to attend a Hui (we live in central Florida, mostly).

[@SailingLuckyfish]

@@sirluckflorida good to hear. Yes you both will enjoy meeting the folks at any Hui and step on a few boats too. Cats the way to go with a cautious partner for sure. Anyone really :-) Good to meet you Kenny

[@richardjagger6920]

This lady is a gem. Good mother and very handy with her hands

[@SailingLuckyfish]

YES

[@richardjagger6920]

I cannot believe how the little man is growing.

[@rcaddict69]

But can she curse like a sailor? Leo is growing so quickly. Greetings from a cold and wet New Zealand.

[@SailingLuckyfish]

@@rcaddict69 greetings NZ - in the international spotlight a little more than usual recently

[@mickeykeymoaw]

The Hummock is a great idea.

[@elliowb2]

YES!! The hammock looks great. Nice work on the knotting.

[@waughthogwaugh3078]

Great sunshade. Seeing that as a must make item.

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Definitely! - drops the temps in the cabins by a few degrees as well as takes the bite out of the heat in the breeze blowing into the pod. just by blowing over those few metres of shaded deck

[@blackhat4968]

Have recently started using a mixture of Hydrogen Peroxide and Baking Powder and Dawn Dish washing Soap for cleaning and stain removal I bet it would work pretty well the next time on mold in the canvas pod cover. (Just DON'T mix Hydrogen Peroxide with Vinegar.)

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@richardmason902]

A really great video. Thank you so much for posting.

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Our pleasure!

[@robertcole9391]

Thx Robert. Hope to sail with you one day old son.

[@adamttreat123]

[@timwoods603]

Hello Stew, Zaya and Leo. Im gonna nick name Leo Chipmunk. lol Thats what i was thinking of as he was popping the lids off the cans with his two lil teeth. He is growing fast guys. Enjoy it while you can, before you know it he will be wanting his own Luckyfish lol. Look forward to the next vlog. Stay safe.

[@SailingLuckyfish]

hehe, well if we can give him the love of sailing then mission accomplished I reckon.

[@MrRJBooth]

Great vlog guys . Zaya sure is a dab hand at just about anything you throw at her . Love the suncanopy adjustments making it more practical and oiled the deck so as to keep it fresh n not full o vinegar . Proper deckhand that gal . Leo is a star n very interested in whatever is put in front of him . Nice brekky Stewart , ya ace in the galley I see .. Fanx for taking time to film when you can :-D Stay safe

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Thank you Bruno

[@thetherons6132]

Lovely video💓

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Thanks 🤗

[@EugeneJrFolse]

Great Video! Love the deck tent and Leo is the man. Oh and by the way, #FreeTuya #FreeAriun

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Love it!!

[@trippcailean9594]

how much head room do you have in the cabins?

[@SailingLuckyfish]

About 6'2" at the main companionways. Much less fwd

[@trippcailean9594]

Sailing Luckyfish no such thing as standing headroom if you’re much over 6 feet tall I guess.

[@drportabledave]

what became of your tackacat? did i miss it in previous episode? fair winds yall.

[@blackhat4968]

Yep mentioned in a previous video... (hmm 2 or 3 back?) Basically it was 5(?) years old and the glue (and stitching?) holding some of the seams together started failing. They were unable to get the same model and had to get the one they had now as a replacement.

[@SailingLuckyfish]

@Black Hat thanks - I would just add that Taka now make them with welded seams. If the factory had reopened after Chinese New Year we would have got one.

[@timmcmullen5]

Is Ariun not a crew member anymore ?? She was gone from the episode and from the intro. I hope she is still a crew member. I was really curious about how she would take to the sailing lifestyle.

[@daveamies5031]

In the last episode she evacuated because of C-19 before she wouldn't be able to travel, not 100% sure but I think they said she went back to the US, hope she is safe, though with how bad things are, not sure if she would be safer in the US or staying aboard LuckyFish in Guatemala? Seems like Guatemala has things under better control.

[@timmcmullen5]

@@daveamies5031 THANKS !!!! I must have missed that. due to multitasking while watching the last episode.

[@SailingLuckyfish]

@Dave Amies - yes Ariun caught one of the last flights from Belize back to New York. It was obvious that we were heading into a time of great uncertainty and... very limited travel options. So all our plans were put on ice until this all blows over. Belize has the virus totally under control currently, but Guatemala is experiencing exponential growth in new cases. Still. Take care all, Stew

[@timmcmullen5]

@@SailingLuckyfish Wow, out of the frying pan and into the corona fire. Thanks letting me know !!

[@daveamies5031]

@@SailingLuckyfish Thanks Stew, my point was more that USA doesn't seem interested in controlling the virus 😟How is Mongolia handling it? I haven't heard anything about them. At least NZ has it under control so you have somewhere to run too if things get worse.

[@inuendo0003]

i am thinking of getting a taka cat as dinghy . why did you change

[@SailingLuckyfish]

its in a recent video. the glue failed (takacat weld their newer models) . we wanted to get a welded one. briefly the virus hit China in Jan and the factory did not reopen. we had to source any replacement from the States.

[@inuendo0003]

@@SailingLuckyfish thanks ...so i will still get one . love the idea of having a cat dinhy for a cat, and the ease of driving it up the ramp

[@johncarey-lo8xj]

Isn't that Leo cute.
