After MONTHS in the BOAT YARD, we finally SPLASH

[@orwellknew9112]

Don’t you just love a lady with a heart! Besides her so many other endearing characteristics, Becka has a heart of gold! I think Zach does too. Such a fine couple.

[@danfadden]

I just ran across the article on the Daily Mail about you guys! Congratulations you’ve made it big time. Your parents must be so proud. Fair Winds! EDIT: The comments at the Daily Mail (under the article) are some of the worst I’ve ever seen! A whole lot of miserable people who can’t see the dream. Maybe I’m just overly optimistic? But if you want to hear some people who are down on life and seem to be living in hell, take a look at those comment. NOTE TO ZACK AND BECKA - Don’t bother reading those or giving them a thought. You guys are amazing and truly living the dream. Don’t ever let anyone get into your head. You guys are an inspiration.

[@svscatterling5538]

Not all the comments in the DM are negative, but omg some people are just tiresome...f*#k'em! I'm in my mid 40's Dock sitting in Scotland, you guys a 20yrs ahead of me in every way and it should be the reverse 😂 At the moment I'm still working on the "Just Bloody DO it already". Keep on Keeping On, you're inspiring me to get my sh1t together. Thanks, Col.

[@crankinozzer]

The comments say more about the people commenting than anything else. Zack and Becca are living life while people are dreaming it and doing nothing about it!

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

I love you guys so much for caring about the cat! Hope it finds someone who will love and care for it, as you did. Happy Holidays and safe travels! ❤

[@johndavidson6867]

A very up-lifting video, I hope you have a fantastic holiday season, and may the new year be your best ever. Take care of each other, be safe and cruise on.

[@TeuluTribe]

Happy holidays John, glad you liked it 😊

[@donellefson5882]

Keep the cat it has accepted you guys as owner

[@BillyJoeJimBob28]

WTH? That donkey sounds just like a Rooster! How does he do that? 🤔🤭😂

[@stevecrombie5357]

Merry Christmas. Getting to still see you at the regular time and place made my day. After seeing you weep Becka, it was nice to hear your laughter also. Thank you so much for another year of adventure Love you. Full speed ahead. Stay safe. ❤🙏

[@Arnaud58]

Good to see you in your natural habitat again.👴👌 Merry Christmas, and a very happy Pacific new year!👴🤗

[@TeuluTribe]

We are so happy to be back on the water! Happy Christmas 😁

[@janetjeason1341]

Good Job ..

[@paulhilldrith7745]

Congratulations on the splash and for your article today in the daily mail😊

[@TeuluTribe]

Cheers Paul! Hope you enjoyed the read 😊

[@johnwolf2829]

@@TeuluTribe Really? I hope they were kind.... This should help you get closer to the 100k subbed mark. Like I said up above, something interesting might be Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Just keep one hand on your wallet at all times and you should be alright. Can't think of anything else that would give you a good bump this time of the year, but I'm sure someone here can.

[@jpdj2715]

All the thoroughly executed work paid off. You did well and should feel proud of that

[@austingode]

Wished I hadn’t watched this …brings back very bad memories of a cat and a boat ……… now I’m crying 😭

[@ToddManOut]

I've enjoyed following your journey over the past couple of years, this is one of my favorite channels and I look forward to each new episode. Congrats on getting back into the water, excited to see content as you transition to the Pacific. I trust that the pet shelter will find a nice home for the marina cat, it was tough watching you hand her over, she could have been a fun part of the channel, like Mako is on Lauren Lander's boat, but I understand your reasoning and you made a good choice. Merry Christmas and we'll see you next year!

[@svbettybelle]

Its fairly easy if you got the right documentation and international passport for the cat, including the rabies vaccine. Some countries just requires you to visit a vet when checkin/checkout. It might be a hassle but follow your heart.

[@elvenstars9248]

Unfortunately going to Australia and New Zealand is out of the question with a boat pet. The rules and regulations are extremely hard over here and the cost to bring it in is astronomical and very time consuming :(

[@62mog]

Hi guys, im just sitting here in a very cold the Netherlands while you are pondering to adopt your cat in the slightly warm part of our kingdom. Right on que when you were taking her aboard, our cat jumps on the salon table and starts to watch your cat. Yes, our cat watches tv. Our cat is also grey. Also a female, and also from Aruba. And yes she was adopted via a Sgt Pepper Friends. Our Zoë, as she is called, was flown in from Aruba to The Netherlands. And we love her to bits. She loves the summer and has grown quite a bit extra fur for the winter. Moral of the story; your kitty will be okay. You did the right thing. And the world’s cat distribution system will do its job either through God, good luck, karma, faith, or,more likely, via the fine people of Sgt. Pepper Friends. Love those guys. Save travels, have fun, enjoy the world and each other. And whenever you wash ashore somewhere and settle down the world’s cat distribution system will provide you with a kitty of your own.

[@62mog]

Oh one remark; when you grow older more cats will find you. You will start to collect them. Happend to my sister. She’s late fifty now. She has 5. Horrible phase in a woman’s life. It’s called “many pawns”

[@donaldbrown9437]

Merry Christmas and safe travels 🎉

[@TeuluTribe]

Marry Christmas 😁

[@jaymarlin3565]

congrats, guys..! Blue skies and following seas. Cheers

[@oldjack3023]

I am not a cat person ,and on my second pomeranian boat dog 1st one 13 years latest one 15 months ,there is no way i could of left that cat behind, animals on board can be a pain in the arse but 500% worth the effort

[@josepmassot4696]

Cuando por casualidad encontré este vuestro canal y empecé a seguiros era muy escéptico en cuanto a vuestras dotes de gente de mar, pero he de reconocer que vuestra evolución ha sido espectacular. Os felicito

[@JoseMariaOliveira]

I have 2 cats and one lovely dog, but I totally understand your choice. I would have decided exactly the same way. There will surely be a time when everything fits together. It wasn't now. Be peaceful with that. Fair winds.

[@russellneville7145]

Yay your back in the water 🌊 upwards & onwards guys. Congratulations on all the good hard work you have both put into your floating home. Keep up the good work. SV Kiwi Lady Opua Bay of islands New Zealand 👍🏿

[@SBoots29]

Splash down, fun times. It is hard to make certain choices in life. At least you did not give up on the kitty and gave it a chance at a shelter. Good luck with the up coming adventures. Cheers

[@codegame027]

(Harbors Unknown) took their dog across the pacific but it was for sure an administrative challenge. I also believe that certain countries are indifferent if they never get off the boat. This is pretty easy with a cat.

[@TeuluTribe]

Some places definitely looked more challenging than others!

[@TomCrasemann]

Greetings from Vancouver Island , I got hooked on your excellent channel 6 weeks ago , and when i saw the episode with Becka's Hamster i knew she was a really genuine nice person. I lost my 4 year old Airedale Terrier to cancer 2 weeks before Chrismas which was devestating. Your channel has really saved me , distracting me from what has happened and taking me on your adventure . Your content mix is perfect , editing fantastic. thank you for your great channel ! i have watched every episode now and they are a great escape. And yes , i will get another Airedale Terrier. Tom , Vancouver Island B.C. Canada

[@jeffreyhutchinsdo]

Happy New Year from Texas. Congrats on the splash! You can always taste the water in the bilge for saltiness if you’re worried about the newly replaced sea cocks. But anyway glad you sorted it out. Look forward to your journeys ahead. Cheers.

[@danateel]

You guys accomplished an impressive list of upgrades during your period on the hard. Well done!

[@ukyachty]

Happy New Year. As soon as you can, dive down and remove that shaft anode you fitted just forward of the P bracket. It isn't needed and it's stopping water flowing through the cutless bearing.

[@jonunya3128]

while your lives aren't such that you could rescue that sweet kitty, someday you will be in a place to rescue a different kitty. put it on the list of consolations for giving up the seafaring life... She was very sweet and cuddlesome.

[@RoyClare]

Great work! Hard, but defo the right call for Marina. 😢

[@norman4991]

Massive haul out, big jobs, some surprises with the rudder. Well done. Enjoy the adventures, thank you for sharing. Tough decision about the cat but the best for you and her.

[@jclements65]

Supermodel on the Boat, steals the show from an already interesting channel. Goddess of the Sea

Teulu TARDID is bloody well doing it in 4K !! Thank you! Love it!!

[@moejaime2654]

YOU GUYS ARE SUCH A LOVELY COUPLE ! BEST WISHES FAIR WINDS AND SMOOTH SEAS !!

[@ruairitiernan8727]

By far my favourite sailing channel. So excited for the pacific

[@markbuskens6070]

Really good episode👍you both have worked so hard on you boat!!now you will know everything is in good shape and also how to work on a lot more things too.I love cats too but you made the best choice to help find her a good home on land.Also it will keep things much easier for your travels abroad.Can’t believe you were in the boat that many days,no wonder you’re both exhausted.😮

[@stuartmould6363]

You both are awesome, Merry Christmas 🎄 ⛵️👍

[@TeuluTribe]

Happy Christmas Stuart 😊

[@paulmann8885]

Many congratulations on getting back on the water - Teulu looks absolutely fantastic and massive credit to all your hard work these past months. Have yourselves a fantastic New Year and look forward to seeing your continuing adventures. Happy sailing!

[@seantiz]

You have created a memorable life. Well done.

[@HKSailing]

You’re “Bloody doing it” well. Get back onto the water soon 😂😂 happy new years. ❤

[@nolanmailhos1470]

Should have kept damned cat. If she made you that happy. It would probably be a pain in the ass. But you can smuggle a cat anywhere. I hate the Panama canal myself. I'd rather just take the Southern cross. It's just too much shit at the canal. But you could have had someone take it to the other side pick it up on the other side. I think it would did your heart good to keep it. I think you are a wonderful beautiful person. It is kind of awesome that you put your heart out there. You to or really awesome. It's good to see younger people getting out into the sailing world. I'm not waiting till you're old and gray.

[@sv.alannah]

I agree. Nice little kitty would have had a good life. No fleas at sea I would think. That would have broke my heart.

[@morganlindsey1918]

That’s a great place for her! The people who run SP are amazing people and animal lovers. She’s in great hands!

[@staranise618]

OMG I love the cat too. That must have been so hard

[@kptbillburkett8735]

Merry Christmas 🎅. I know how hard it is to have a dog or cat on the boat. Due to all the restrictions you have with the Vet fee's it is pretty expensive. But if I could I would have a cat on the boat. So until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! Looking forward to more videos

[@RonaldJHElzenga]

Last shinning boatwork and spashing and checking checking alarm!! checking😅..lovely cat and saying goodbye😢..some boatlife again off and on beautiful Aruba🎉 and some big adventures😮 ahead🎉😊..bravely forward and sail on today's wind..at least try❤❤

[@danlindberg4849]

Thank you for all the adventures (big and small) you have allowed us to join you in! Sail safe and enjoy this Merry Christmas!

[@dougwilson1769]

Another great video.

[@denislamadeleine1181]

Congrats on the splash and back to daily living. Merry Christmas!

[@pixiniarts]

Back in the water!! Looking forward to your many adventures in the new year! Happy travels!

[@MikeBell-p7y]

I’m glad you tracked down the annoying leak. I too have water in my bilge and no idea where it’s coming from. It was a rough passage from the boat yard to the marina with plenty of green water over the deck so I’m hoping it has come in from a leaky hatch that I already know about. If not it could be the keel bolt work, yikes. Don’t be too upset about leaving the cat behind. I’m not sure if they enjoy being at sea to be honest so it could be best all round. Keep smiling and tackling things that head your way to knock you back, you guys are doing great.

[@davidnichols147]

You both have done a tremendously hard yard period and now we know the reason. Off to French Polynesia, FANTASTIC, we are so impressed with the adventure. Merry Christmas!

[@davidperham897]

Hi Becky, merry Christmas and happy New Year Love you guys you make watching very much good vibes & emotional I sure feel for you crying over the cat,I love cats & all animals Anyway happy travels into the Pacific & I look forward to follow you two Have fun Cdn. Dave

[@markrodger276]

Nothing like getting back in the water. Read the article about you in the Daily Mail yesterday 😀

Whoopee…Glad yer “In the Water” Continues to Stay Safe and Enjoy 😎

Glad for the splash. Let's go sailing. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS. STAY SAFE & HAVE FUN. LOVE THE KITTY !

Happy Christmas guys, Well done on your successful splash and plans for the future, it is all very exciting. Making the right choices for our animal friends isn't always easy but right is right and ultimately they are better off. Stay Safe & Fair Winds!! ☘

Thank You Greatlyl I really love watching you videos, looking forward to seeing you sail the pacific. Will you sail to Australia?. Have a Happy Christmas and s Merry but Safe New Years.

Ive been watching you two for a while now and wanted to wish you the best of luck on your journey through the Panama Canal, youve definately earned everything you get, may it be a great passage

[@mblulz]

Recently found you guys, really inspiring. You might be my new favorite channel. Much love and Godspeed to you both on this incredible journey you are on! Sorry you couldn't keep Marina, she looks so precious. I can't wait to see whats next!

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Happy Christmas guys, I hope you are relaxing somewhere nice a d able to connect with family and friends. That was tough and emotional for me let alone how you felt about the beautiful kitty. That must have been soooo hard but you have done a good thing for her. How amazing would it be if one of your viewers adopted her, fingers crossed. So good to hear your infectious giggle Becka when feeding those,donkeys, such funny animals. Take care and here’s to a fun filled 2024. Andy UK

[@patraic5241]

Great video! Best sailing one around!

[@seawench555]

Zach I wish u stay still, I'm trying to read what's on ur undies🤣🤣. I totally understand the pain of having to leave animals that are not even yours, but uv looked after her when obviously someone, has left her behind. Cats are great on boats but still, they can create issues in many Countries. Human beings can be incredibly cruel. I'm sorry I said " Take her with u both" it's just what I would do regardless of the issues. But that's not fair on U 2. I'm so so excited to be on the water again, I was feeling like I was starting to dry up and wither away😂🤣. The way u both present in front of Camera is a true credit to ur strong beliefs and work ethic, it really shows ur honest, lovable selves. I know I sound like a broken record, but that u 2s fault for making me so Bloody Proud. Go Teulu Tribe!!!!🌊🌞😍 Oh ur both so Beautiful for loving Marina.

[@stevethurlow9059]

Hello, Just take the kitty over to the animal shelter and check it in and then adopt it and take it with you. ok, ciao. geo

[@harryknickerbocker9889]

Love the hat.

[@neilcampion3118]

I also saw the article in the daily Mail. So you are the from Surrey. Although I have lived my whole life in HK my parents retired to Shere bear Guildford. Small world Having been a sailor for 40 yrs now I offered some advice in your earlier vlogs Seems I will now be asking you for advice

[@tuberNunya]

We were forced to give up a cute labrador puppy yesterday.We took him to the pound and a girl said wait, I know a guy who wants a puppy, so we waited 20 minutes for them to show up and they had a new puppy they were very happy with, and so were we. Things work out with a little faith.

[@boatman909]

Wow what a journey. So glad that you took the time and effort to get as much as you could shipshape. Hopefully there is not much left to do (must have water maker before crossing Pacific!) before you set off next year to cross the big one! Really enjoying your vlogs. You have come an amazing long way since you first bought Teulu. Congratulations. Glad you have had a great Christmas and got to see Zach’s parents. Wishing you a fabulous New Year of new adventures. 😊. Its almost enough watching you for me to go out and buy my own boat (I don’t know if being 72 is too late? I lost my wife of 50 years 6 weeks ago so technically i am free.)

[@boatman909]

Will you be going up the pacific coast to Mexico first 😊like ParleyRevival and SVDelos did to prepare for their crossings?

[@damianhall4554]

117 days....a looong time. felt the sadness with the cat....

[@belizejt]

I really enjoy watching your journey. Beast wishes

[@TheSWR2431]

Ever thought about a kitty for Teulu? Few other have a cat.. and good company on night passages.

[@jpdj2715]

Becka, I feel your pain when you had to say goodbye to Marina. The simplest solution is that Zach is the surrogate cat now. When you wanted to hold the cat ... He will only suffer a bit from it

[@JakobEngl]

Great video

Sad news about your fuzzy yard assistant. I got a wee excited when I saw her aboard only to be sad when you realized it wasn't practical for you to keep her. I suspect she will become someone's lovely companion, but I am sad for you both that she could stay and be yours.
