When Jane mentioned how all of you guys were being "reported" and explained the effect it has on your channels I was shocked people would do such a thing. I'm glad you have a positive outlook on all of this. I appreciate all of the hard work and dicipline it takes to shoot and edit while going about your daily routines. Thank you for sharing your adventures, it's a real blessing for those of us currently shoveling snow =)

[@laurenlanders]

Thank you so much… it’s hard. And KZbin doesn’t make it easy.. I am still battling with them for quite a few of my videos Appreciate you and everyone who watches so much

[@kevindougherty4833]

@KZbin. Know that as a full time live aboard. ( it means I live on my boat) the keyboard commander has no real clue about the content we love. Or this lifestyle. This is an A+ channel. In addition , expand your admin who have working knowledge of things they want to restrict. The more you know 🌈

I’ll say it again, again and again…..Your family must be very proud of you. What you have learned, accomplished and continue to live your life is an education Harvard could not provide. You will always be successful….

Ok that was SOOOOOO impressive changing the anchor underwater. Great footage, amazing girl, so hands on and such a great "Can Do" attitude. Well done!

Aw thanks so much!

That was impressive changing the anchor underwater while free diving. Kudos Lauren, you amaze me with your talents.

Great lesson. I would never have guessed doing it underwater was the easiest answer.

Lauren, I think you are an amazing Lady who is fulfilling her dreams. Thanks for taking me along on your sailing.

Wow, pretty amazing to see that done underwater, but then you seem to do many amazing things on your boat. I guess it's like they say...if you have a boat, there is always something to fix. Thanks for the great videos of the ocean. All the best to you and your crew.

Girl you are such an inspiration! I grew up on a cruising sailboat but left that lifestyle to chase my dreams of becoming a long-haul trucker. After 7yrs on the road I sold out and bought my Irwin 46 that I'm currently rebuilding. I always look forward to your videos and hope that one day soon me and my sailing kitties will end up in the same anchorage as you and Mako! Much love and keep up with the amazing content!!! #GirlPower

[@JoeBeech]

The new anchor looks good. Can’t believe you managed to swap it over just free diving very cool 🙂

Hi, that is the best anchor change I will ever sea, thankyou you two, when you clung onto it, rode it, it made me think: thats what mermaids do for good sailors in storms ' hold there anchor inplace ' lovely thought,, it is nice to sea you relax, even if it is short , ands its such a prety place the bahamas, thankyou mummas three💙💙💙

[@stephenknight8334]

Lauren, it never ceases to amaze me how much new content you put into your adventures each week. So great to see you have some down time after such a busy schedule. I meant to mention last week, what joy I was feeling, hearing you laugh during the filming. You needed that after your trials earlier this year. Great t have that behind you now. Loved your music, and the shots cut to it. I thought you could have used some of the sound effects, from the bar, while you were attaching the new anchor and floating away 😉 🤔 😜. Great job. I'm sure it was frustrating at times. I even thought I saw a Cuda in the background with the other fish. I am curious though, how much of the beer made it back from the beach, to the boat? I do know that free beer tastes the best.😋🤪 I am so impressed with how far your channel come, and thankful you are willing to share your adventures with us all. I know I say this every week, but I truly mean it. I am looking forward to your next video. You are the best part of my Thursdays. Until next week, be happy, be safe, and finish the beer, if you haven't already 😉 😊.

[@mburgess2829]

How much does an anchor that size weigh and how did you know what order to replace the chain holding the anchor. It also looked like you had to fight a current while free diving.

SPENT MOST OF THE TIME AS GUESTS OF FRIENDS STAYING AT "CLUB MED" !!! PARADISE ISLAND RESORT HOTEL WAS A FLOP COMPARED TO "CLUB MED" !!! BIMINI SOLD ME ON FT. LAUDERDALE.

If my airplane had floats on it I could've brought you your anchor ⚓️ over.. 😁 Hope you don't lose that fancy thing! Looks like the angle of it won't allow it to bite in deeper water where your chain is at a steep angle.. 🤔 Maybe I'm wrong.. Have you ever had one get stuck? Of course as long as you can hold your stinkin breath you could dive down and get it out. 🤪

[@laurenlanders]

Aww appreciate it! And I hope not as well😅 I haven’t had one stuck! I am always in sand 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@matthewbaynham6286]

With your external hard drive, if you do some research to see if that specific make and model is just a standard 2.5 inch hard drive on the inside, then you can take out the standard hard drive and plug it into something else, like the inside of a computer or another case for an external hard drive. However if it's not a standard 2.5 hard drive on the inside then you can't.
