Our First Ever Catch and Cook! | Off Grid Boat Life

Welcome back to Blue Moon Life! In this video, we take you on an afternoon sail in the beautiful Pacific Northwest of Canada. It was a sunny, breezy day, which gave us the perfect opportunity for a day off on the water. In the evening, we tried our first-ever "catch-and-cook" by harvesting and steaming some Dungeness and Red Rock crab from right off the side of the boat. Summer always goes too quickly, but we are grateful to spend a few days enjoying the off-grid boat life!

remarkable skills from the lady of the boat...!

[@steveconly4811]

Well, we couldnt find you in Victoria. Mostly because you were not in Victoria. So I left the books in Victoria at the Rosewood Inn, a few blocks passed the Parliament Building. The books are on the right side of the CD's next to the pass through

Nice catch! When you pull the crab - it's best not to store them in a bucket of seawater. They can use up the oxygen in a small container really fast and die, and you don't want to eat dead crab. Best way is to put them in a dry bucket and keep their gills moist with a some kelp/seaweed over the top. They can breathe out of the water for quite some time that way.

❤ ⛵ Great video...nice and chill 😌

[@bayanicustodio3998]

Thanks! Each time I see you and Jonah light your stove with that bic lighter, I get scared. Hope this is enough to get a BBQ style lighter next time you are out shopping…one of those with the long tubes.

[@BlueMoonLife]

Awe haha thank you so much!! That is so generous :) will pick one up ASAP!!

[@livingsimplytosimplylive6817]

Oh my gosh, that was such a wonderful Vlog. It was just nice to see you guys relaxing and enjoying friends.

[@montyforster3370]

Nice day to be out. Oh how I miss those days. I'm forever trying my memory to see if I can pinpoint your position. Lol and ahoy

[@johndavidson6867]

Making me envious having so much fun, glad to see it.

[@FrankDeen]

I hope you never forget to duck when that boom (right word?) whips around like that.

[@christrouten9606]

@9:20 your tarp on the starboard cabin top looks like a dead great white.

[@mariofaustino5623]

👍from 🌞🏖🏊‍♀️⛵

[@maryannpenner9286]

You kids had a fun sail! Good catch Andrew!!

[@4tarsus]

With my luck, I'd be dropping that winch handle overboard. That's why I use the fiber ones that float.

[@reloadncharge9907]

Good one, fun episode! Thanks….I miss Brentwood Bay, good memories, Andrew

[@MCallsen]

That was a special adventure. Never seen a mobile crab pot in action :) Looks like a great team composition!

[@marklapierre5629]

Looks like yum to me. Do good, be safe.

[@trevorcockett6376]

If you harden the main before you jibe it will be safer and not as hard on the rigging etc

[@johncolley6225]

Should also use a touch more halyard to get the puckers out, eh?

[@johncolley6225]

Nice area, would help to know where you are anchored, even on the daysails.

[@DaveHines1]

Nice Video 😃 I still remember being nipped by a crab I’d picked up when I was young , it got dropped very quickly 😂

[@3233Donnie]

Awesome 👏🏻

[@aquious953]

Enjoy every minute! Are you going to stay out all winter?

[@Stephan_01]

❤❤🥰🥰

[@johnmagnan759]

Jibing would scare the hell out of me with a mid boom main sheet. That has catastrophic failure written all over it.

[@itsmePassport]

But who is Andrew.

[@karibakid]

ONLY ONE PERSON SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT TO DO TO SET THE SAILS ??

[@Ruffway64]

Not hard to see who wears the pants on that boat.

[@robertharris7027]

03:30 Do you see what mistake you made with the jib-sheet?

[@itsmePassport]

Yep, it's around the safely line pole.

[@andyl8025]

Yes I also noticed that the jib sheet is rubbing on the stanchion. The jib sheet should pass on the right side of the stanchion to make winching easier.

[@SamuelKTennis]

Who is that strange man in the dark hair? Did your husband forget to die his roots?!? That will teach me to go newest to oldest instead of oldest (unwatched) to newest! Correcting after this. I should recall your names but I do not want to get then wrong, I shall rectify this shortly - what is that hair do in you husbands (Jonah?) mane? Looks sort of like a short hair French Braid? Surely it is not merely wind blown!
