Happy Holidays good to see back on the boat

Thank you so much!! We truly appreciate your support! Hope you have a Merry Christmas and prosperous 2025!

[@barroosa]

Glad you're back on the boat!!! Hate that the expenses and work are bringing you down. Soak in the good stuff. Emily, hope you are feeling better!!! Only 18 months until we make the plunge. Thanks again for everything you've done for us!!! Barret and Heather.

[@adventurecrews]

Thanks for your kind words, Barret and Heather! We’re excited for you and here to help you make that transition!

I'm sure there are marine mechanics and marinas that are dependable, neat, thorough and honest. However, in the 50 years that I have owned boats, I have never found one.

I’m One 👋

[@anna-13-w]

Here you go! Now you are ready to conquer new lands again! 😊❤❤❤👍

[@rainfinger]

Good job!

[@carolyn_s]

Yay back to boat life!!! I just love watching all of your videos. Happy sailing and Happy Holidays!

[@adventurecrews]

Merry Christmas to you too! We hope you're enjoying your holiday season!

[@stevetoth4765]

I always enjoy watching you guys. When I got my boat I quickly realized the meaning of Boat- Break- Out- Another- Thousand, stood for. Good job on the Mast, I know that took guts. Looking forward to the next one! HAPPY TRAILS!

[@koehf405]

I hope both of you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks from Florida.

[@adventurecrews]

Merry Christmas 🎄

[@TheMaya69]

Perfect Statement was what you said about everything on ya boat being broken you just dont know it yet,My buddy owns a 37 ft Sundancer and once said owning a boat is like having a giant piggy bank with no bottom,you keep putting money in it but it never ends!

[@superb63amg94]

You guys are are awesome! Boat life for me? I'll take a hard pass!😂 BTW, Merry Christmas!

[@DanielTiffany-o8i]

My nighttime snack is Raisin Bran. lol love it. You guys are funny 😆.

[@adventurecrews]

I think Raisin Bran is a good choice but Emily does not like raisins so you will never find it on our boat LOL! Thanks for watching!

[@hoggaren100]

Merry Christmas To You And Yours

[@adventurecrews]

Thank you same to you!

[@PaulLue]

So glad to see ya back on the water

[@crowdfundcrew]

Went up the mast twice on my friends 30’ monohull. It’s quite the workout keeping from swinging around. Seems the maintenance is going well. Back on the water to enjoy again. Donate for a Dream

[@adventurecrews]

It sure is!! My legs and core where burning the next day just from holding on. Thanks for watching!

[@douglasmontgomery6315]

Nice to see you back, look forward to this season. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

[@adventurecrews]

Thanks, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!

[@rainfinger]

When are you going to cross an ocean?

[@adventurecrews]

You know when we bought our boat we thought we would have been 1/2 around the world by now... All that said, I am not sure a crossing is on our radar right now there is so much we have yet to do and see on this side and once you go...it's hard to come back. At least the way we would want to go....

[@travykangaroo40]

💪👩 From a news anchor to a mast climber! Deep respect how you just do that. I don't think I could. Hope you can manage to have some Christmas time together. Safe travels !

[@paulcollins9197]

Merry Christmas

[@adventurecrews]

Merry Christmas to you too!

[@billyabroad8057]

Finally, Welcome back!!

[@ralyndacumbie8967]

I miss Ambergris Caye Belize and the Me Too Catamaran back when I was young and unmarried. My dad flew medical in and out of the jungles for Wings of Hope. I had dual citizenship so I got a job working the afternoon and sunset cruises to snorkel Ho Chan Reef. Love y'all's channel here on KZbin been watching since you all where with Jiggin with Jordan. I hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas!!

[@gregcampbell1232]

I HATE heights! Great job Emily! You were Way up there!

[@Luke22022]

It's nice to have you back on the water. You'll be sailing again soon. Merry Christmas!

[@YV5AUEO]

Great job

[@Stuart123]

I never used to be afraid of heights but now I even hate going up a tall ladder lol, watching you go up the mast even gave me the Willies 😂 hope you, Cole, and your fur baby have a wonderful Christmas and a safe and happy New Year 🥳❤️🇨🇦

[@allynonderdonk7577]

Wow your Clark style watermaker made it to 2500 hours. I have a homemade system similar to a Seawater Pro now, and have had no need for rebuild events...if I ever needed a new pump they are $200-$350. The downside is the power usage, but solar pretty much still makes up the difference quickly. If I need to run the genset for a bit to make water, no problem. The fuel and maintenance costs are less than the rebuild cost of the Clark style pumps in my opinion. You also had a boost pump failure a season or two ago, didn't you? Not that they don't just go out every once in a while anyway. Loved the video by the way.

[@carolmiland9665]

I enjoy all your videos. So informative. Take care and be safe. Merry Christmas 🎅 ❤

[@hennybautista3520]

Happy to see you back on the boat. When will you guys be back to the Dominican Republic?

[@hukshot]

i have never understood how "hot water heater" became normalized :D keep sailing.

[@adventurecrews]

You would love the a/c and washer/dryer! 😜

[@kevincorbell4626]

I’m not sure I see any redundancy. What happens if that rope breaks?

[@clarkkent772]

What brand of generator do you have? How many hours run time so far?

[@jackdbur]

Let us guess you have sd50 sail drives with their infamous cone clutches. One of the new solidstate ultrasonic wind instruments in your future?

[@rdubinda239]

Glad you guys are back on the boat! Look forward to the videos. Hey can you tell me which marina you were hauled out in? We hauled in Clarke's Court in July, just after the hurricane, and I wanted to compare some of the costs we had if you guys wouldn't mind. P.S. - I'm from Fort Myers, almost local to you guys :)

[@YV5AUEO]

Like you guys!

[@jimmymiller9457]

I didn’t see a prussik for safety and I hope that you didn’t just trust three wraps on the winch to lift and hold her up there! Risky, risky. It would be good to show people that you are doing things like going up the mast in a safe way so others don’t just imitate and take risks they don’t need to!

[@robbnutter4665]

Think of your tiny "house" you stayed in - with that in mind, the boat projects will be welcomed!

[@ronking7648]

Yanmar makes killer diesel engines. They will run forever.

[@carlmorgan2859]

Scared of Heights, No because I Skydive 😊😊😊

[@AloiseJord]
