Both of your smiles are infectious, it says it all, thank you both so very much for sharing your life(envious!!!) 👍👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪❤️❤️❤️

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps :-)

[@francinesiddaway7191]

Awwwwwwwww Coconut ✨️😻✨️ Well Done on the Window Covers 👏🤩 Sending Looooooooove ✨️🤗✨️❤️✨️

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps, The boat is so much cooler now :-)

[@debydavis5397]

did you know you can grow another pineapple from the (tops) crown.... love that you found sweet Coco. Glad that boat moved off yours... you really cant turn your back on the sea can you - safe journeys beautifuls 🍍🍉🍹🐾

[@sailing.supernova]

I wonder if we could grow one on the boat :-) Coco is such a sweet girl we are so happy we have her. thanks heaps for the kind words :-)

[@lyndeebrider2340]

Coco is the luckiest cat in the world to find you guys. What a great life she is having. She is gorgeous I wonder if she remembers the island and how close she was to dying.

[@sailing.supernova]

She is so about the cuddles that she must know :-)

[@gogogaga7441]

Lesson learned: you see a boat that close, no matter the conditions, you immediately contact them and ask them to move, ASAP! Great job, guys!

[@sailing.supernova]

We will next time for sure :-)

[@rackmo1]

what an amazing journey you are on! I can't tell you how much I love the saving of Capt. Coconut. Good on ya!

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps for the kind words :-)

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps :-)

[@boyddubard4197]

You giving water to other boaters is the first thing to bring tears to my eyes since my wife died. Water is the gift of life. Our water makers make more water than we need….so few share. For exercise, I rigged bicycle pedals to a generator and peddle to power the VCR and monitor.

[@sailing.supernova]

Happy to bring some joy :-) We get so much help that we try and give back when ever we can :-)

[@mukkaar]

Rigging a bicycle as a generator can be more trouble than it's worth if solars are enough.

[@RebootTheCatamaran]

You were so patient with him, I might not have been as calm 😬 “can you drive the boat forward!” “Yes” (me: then F’ing DO IT!!!)

[@sailing.supernova]

It is really hard to get Darcy to yell haha, he would rather talk it out and make sure everyone is safe :-) He is to nice but i love it :-)

[@ddrgir9310]

🤩you handled the problem with grace and you can wear whatever you want 😂 such a joy to watch so calming and enjoying the respect you have for each other is wonderful love watching you smiling 😃 always.

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps! we don't really yell, we more just try and talk though any problem that we have. its worked so far :-)

[@RonSeesAmerica]

You guys are a welcome new addition to my leisure time on Fridays!

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps :-)

[@koulamarkidis2145]

What an adventure! Cudos for staying cool!

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps :-)

[@tassiej3133]

I lost count of the number of times boats would come into an anchorage and just “park” right next to us. Next thing they are off the boat with beers in hand and take off ashore. We always asked them to move. If they ignored us - we moved. It’s just rude. You did brilliantly.

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks for the kind words :-)

[@Musicismylove888]

It also reflects how much experience you have, too, quick thinking and humility.

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps :-)

[@Valerygallery]

I'm so happy that you were able to notice that boat before I hit yours. You did an amazing job with those window covers. I hope they work out well for you. But of course, the cutest thing ever, Coconut! It's nice to see how well she's doing better and better. She loves you so much!😽💕

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks so much! The window covers are working so well! and Coco is doing amazing :-)

[@michaelhicks3909]

Drama in the Anchorage !!!! What ! Not pink window shades !?! 😊 Loving the episode. You folks are so real and well mannered !!!! So refreshing. I am sure that Coconut will love the cooler salon. Is she completely recovered yet? When danger approaches, you just have to do what you have to do ! Properly dressed or otherwise !!!! Worry not ! Your videos are fun AND interesting.

[@flyingcheff]

Soooo refreshing. 👍🏻

[@flyingcheff]

You need to paint it white (or light pink) to reflect the sun. Black will hold the heat and multiply it.

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps for the kind words, Coconut is doing so well!

[@OldManGibb]

My Cat is a rescue, He is like that with me, I kinda think he knows he was close to being put down, and is super thankful. Besides he knows he is loved.

[@sailing.supernova]

The rescues cats are the best :-)

[@brandysears3546]

Sending support, love, and kindness from Lexington, MI, USA.

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps :-)

[@SeekerKC]

Coconut looks incredibly happy & healthy! Excellent job! As far as y'all feeling the need to explain why you two are smiling, it's unfortunate, but there are people out there for whom another's happiness is painful. Chances are, there's nothing either of you could say or do that would make them feel any better. It truly _is_ a "Them" problem. While I believe that they deserve compassion, it shouldn't result in you feeling the need to defend yourselves. You're not doing anything wrong.

[@sailing.supernova]

Coconut is doing so well. we are just going to keep being us :-)

[@lawrencea274]

Isn't it absurd when in an Anchorage and there are infinite amounts of room and someone decides to anchor dangerously close. I've sailed for 40 years and still don't understand the logic, and it has happened to me many times. You are lucky you were on your boat. I've seen boaters hit boats with no one in their boats and deny they ever did . It is a good idea to have a bell on captain C neck. You can hear her wherever she is. My captain C had a bad habit of wanting to roam into places only an arm can get into, or go other boats when at dock etc.

[@sailing.supernova]

We have no idea why they picked a spot so close to us. Coconut always is in within 5 feet of us, I think she knows we have the food and she is not willing to let us out of her site haha, we do have a harness for when we are underway :-)

[@sharonroconnellandcritters]

Close call. Love how you're so authentic! So glad you had your biking shorts on, I just purchased an exercise bike today! You're giving me inspiration! Hi Coconut, you have the best human parents at sea!!

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps for the kind words! I hope you have been using your bike :-)

[@sharonroconnellandcritters]

@@sailing.supernova yes getting better every day!

[@paulabes4220]

Another great video. Congratulations on getting to where you are at this time. Now on to the star of the show Coconut. She looks so good and was happy to see her out of the cabin and out on the bow. Keep enjoying life and keep an eye on Coconut.

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps for the kind words :-)

[@dmttday3030]

You guys are great! Thank you for the videos!!!!

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps :-)

[@krisnace]

Wow, what an adventure, you all never disappoint ☺️. Thank God you guys weren't off the boat when Mr. Inconsiderate almost ran into you. I just can't fathom why anyone would anchor so close to another boat when they had all that water 🤔. Oh well hopefully they learned their lesson. Yvette, looks like your doing a fantastic job sewing the shades. I can see Coco is doing amazing living the good life as are you. Till next time, stay smiling, stay safe out there and God bless 🙏

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps for the kind words :-) Not sure why they came so close, they really had so much space.

[@stephenmurray9850]

Just wondering if coco has been desexed yet.. the way she was acting on the front deck at the end suggests she is coming on season.. Great week for you even with the that other boat being to close. Thanks for the smiles and the video.

[@sailing.supernova]

She has been now, but not when you made this comment. Thanks for the kind words :-)

[@mattcarroll106]

Last to anchor,first to move. Unfortunately charter boats,don’t no that courtesy. Nice to see a happy boat!

[@sailing.supernova]

Yea they had so much room to go some place else to

[@kimbrandom2789]

I am absolutely in love with your channel. I have lots of interests but honestly, sailing has never been a particular draw to me. You have changed that! I randomly happened across your channel a few months ago and i have been telling people about it ever since. Thanks for sharing your journey!

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps for the kind words! If you have any questions about the stuff you see on our videos just leave a comment and we will do our best to give you a proper answer :-)

You may need a sign for visitors/guests like: "Beware! While stepping on our cat, you might step on our cat!" 😁 ;-)

haha we do need a sign just for us lol

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear @@sailing.supernova After watching Yvette accidentally using Coco as a footrest, I say: you might be right. 😁 ;-) Although it's self praising: I really like my sign text! Printed in pink it would be a nice/funny edition to your cat. At least in my opinion respectively for my personal kind of taste. Thanks for replying and especially for giving hearts to my comments. As you know, I always and totally appreciate both very much. Best regards, luck and health in particular.

[@sandybinbedford5512]

Thats so cool to have the veggie shop come to sell their goods to you . Now lets have a food preparation video

[@sailing.supernova]

We had some in the next couple of videos and we will keep a bit more in the videos going forward :-)

[@coryrichter3680]

Guys, first off Love the channel... Love how authentic you are... and that you are just figuring it out as you go. Couple of questions.... How long do you plan to be Cruising\boating? How are you affording the life style? What does the budget look like this far, and where does your go forward income come from? Curious to know these questions as to fulfill my own dreams.

[@sailing.supernova]

We have no end date for this trip, so ill say 7 years or longer, we are just having so much fun and the world is so big, We saved up but we are not sure how we are going to keep the trip going, our savings will hold us over for 3 ish more years and we hope to find some ways to make a bit of money before then. we will do a better job of answering these questions in the Q&A we will be putting out in 2 weeks :-)

[@flyingcheff]

Supernova, I am SO enjoying your off the cuff very genuine storytelling. It's superb! I just have to ask, what were you ever doing that was crew team without Coconut? 😆 ❤❤❤ Such a great trio! Loving your channel and adventures! So NOT pretentious. I appreciate that so much. 🙏

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps for the kind words! We were for sure lost without our Captain Coconut :-)

Nice to see you sewing. Your machine should have a speed controller. On my machine the speed knob is indicated by an icon of a turtle (slower) and a hare (faster).

[@sailing.supernova]

That beast just has one speed and its to fast haha

This is great advice :-)

[@Hi_Stacey]

lol cut first measure twice that’s the same method I use 😂😂😂😂

[@sailing.supernova]

it works half the time haha

[@basilroland]

anchoring next to other boats when there is tons of space is called "french anchoring", but you will discover than soon over your following adventures in the caribeans.

[@sailing.supernova]

haha :-)

[@aaronwalker3398]

Has the Santana 28 dude been loving your videos I probably would have just tied his boat to mine with bumpers waited for the captain seen if they had any beer board for bumper tax

[@sailing.supernova]

When the captain got there it didn't seem like he wanted to give us beer haha but we were willing :-)

[@SuperPirate100]

Someone practicing his role as a human fender

[@sailing.supernova]

Yea we were trying to tell him to stop but he really didn't want the boats touching and he didn't trust our rubber fenders. He did amazing for not really knowing to much though :-)

[@egerardistel]

if you can, try to wedge some cardboard underneath the pedal, in between the housing and it'll help you control the speed.

[@sailing.supernova]

Will try and give that a shot next time :-)

[@levt7651]

Oh! Almost forgot....was the mono hull you gave the water to Yaba? It was a bit dark on my screen and the boat's name was obscured. If so, i recently started following them and i'm eager to see them set sail after all their hard work 😊

[@sailing.supernova]

It was not haha, it would be cool to meet Yaba though

[@theislandlifegardener4707]

When I visited Mexico, I used the Google Translate app, because it will not just translate, but it'll speak the language. Just in case. I doubt that would have helped in this situation, but who knows.

[@sailing.supernova]

We should really use that app more often! Thanks for the reminder :-)

[@boyddubard4197]

Welcome to the Caribbean, ocean of 10,000 Catamarans that should have never been built. Thanks to Neptune, the human fender didn’t get hurt. The charter companies have ruined Cats by making them so popular and renting them to people who only want a floating condo. You are doing great, the Prout Bros and my brother are proud of you as I am.

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps for the kind words! We really love our Prout :-)

[@EL-ln8ei]

[@Catalina58601]

It would be difficult to ask someone to move. And, I was thinking if you had a translation app. I dont know if you would had time for that sort of thing, but someday it might come in handy. I was scared he was trying to board the boat. Did you ever have that thought or did you just have a feeling it was an innocent accident? Way to go with the sewing machine, your sister needs a beer, too 😉

[@sailing.supernova]

He was doing his best to stop the boats from hitting, he was not the captain and he didn't really know what he was doing, but he did try his best. Will be getting my sis a beer for sure haha

[@holden4950]

Yvette is feeding you too well Darcy. You are starting to get a contented puku on you

[@sailing.supernova]

haha he is working on losing it haha

[@rickbranham4557]

to me that all falls on Captain of the other boat.

[@sailing.supernova]

I think you are right, he was on shore having some drinks

[@SophianSeeker]

Has Coconut been spayed? She looks like she’s acting like she’s in heat. Enjoying your videos, thank you for sharing your story. 😊

[@sailing.supernova]

She needed to get spayed but she had a bad infection that made it a bit more complicated, its all good now, well give an update on her in a week or two :-)
