Chronicling the boat work is my favorite part of these sailing channels!

[@keletienne7947]

Man you have won me over. No one is this honest about failures yet you put it all out there. I don’t know what it is about sailing but it almost like hone ownership - the first time tests you to your limits. But its all downhill from there. Much love from a fellow Texan

[@CuriousHumbleMarie]

*Kudos Mary! Way to quit and being able to rock it in a bikini after four kids shows what a bad-ass you are!* David I forgive you for posting irregularly. Your videos prove that you’re truly passionate about creative fun videos for us to enjoy. You’re a hard working and busy papa taking the time to film life going through the journey of creating a wonderful alternative family sailing lifestyle for you and your beautiful family. That’s a process that takes a long time with limited funds, time, and while learning new skills for filming, editing, boat work, sailing, etc…plus on top of prepping a home to sell and while raising a family. For now just keep working on keeping the dream alive.

[@praeliora]

Good to see the chosen one and Tom helping you out, they're both awesome ❤

[@michaeldickson5460]

Dave’s enthusiasm is so infectious! Love you guys!

[@svevergreen3370]

Can't stop laughing. You are so brave filming the Victron plunge. Most people would have left that out. But you are not afraid and it's so good for people to know that there is definitively a LOT of boat work for every hour of sunshine. Not sure about you young guys but me I see it as a perfect retirement lifestyle because it keeps you a) active b) mind focused on problem solving c) Keeps you looking towards the next destination the next challenge d) keeps you living slim and not in the couch watching TV. Best of luck keep it up !

[@ckproper]

That's a boss move, recording your live resignation. Props to Mary...and happy birthday!

Haha! Thank you! It was the best day ever!!! You know when enough is enough? Yeah I had that feeling…

[@AverageJoeShmo]

​@@mary_shihCongratulations and well played. We all reach that point in are jobs where your spinning your wheels helping others that got there positions with no experience and they take advantage of the most talented worker to teach their friends and you have to finally say enough is enough and cut ties. 💯👏

[@deartori]

I believe you are a nurse? I just want to know for sure cuz I am also a nurse and am going to share with everyone at work. You go girl!

[@mary_shih]

@@deartori I'm actually not a nurse. I got my masters in Healthcare Admininstration and worked in Nursing Ops and finally ended up running the hospitals re-accreditation programs like Joint Commission, but I worked for and with nurses my entire career so I love my nurses! When they let go of nurses that had worked for them for more than 30 years because of COVID, it changed everything for me. There's no loyalty. You are easily replaceable. That's what I realized. So go somewhere that treats you right and values your work...for me it is KZbin and bringing stories like this to you guys! Where are you located?

The best part of your videos is your positive attitude and determination in the face of adversity. Most people would have thrown in the towel by now, but you prove that with a dream, a great attitude, a little determination you can accomplish most anything, if you simply do not quit.

[@growlith6969]

One thing I learned when I was half way from Georgia to Colorado was that big hose clamps from a truck stop are far superior to zip ties. I had to bond two pieces of exhaust back together. Grab yourself a bunch of hose clamps and you will be surprised how often you use them. Helps that they are almost all stainless too....

[@BW9197]

aw thanks BW! worked really hard on this episode...not sure if its exactly what the sailing community is used to, but we love it!

[@AverageJoeShmo]

​​@@david_shihIt's exactly what we want and it's even better if it's not the norm. New exciting innovated editing and filming will just make you stand out and blow up. I know why you don't get the content out like we want you too! It's because you like to save money and have pride in your own work. I agree and think your the goat at editing a video. But I also think you have that it factor on your channel that it can grow fast with consistent content releases. It would help you grow so fast and help pay for your family to live the dream in style.

[@LatersOnTheMenjay.]

Holy $hit Dave, you knocked it out of the park with this video on so many levels, but the whole package is so entertaining. As I get older and crustier and waste-away watching KZbin videos you start to look beyond some of the content and recognize just how much effort goes into producing something like this. I promise you it was worth it - you have an incredible knack for storytelling and creative editing (it's also possible that this is all Mary's genius!) So many highlights: - Treating the transformer like your fifth child and then dumping it in the ocean 3 feet from the victory line. Did it end up working?!? - Mary filming her resignation! - The return of Tom! Love your work mate. Thank you for sharing your life and wonderful family!

[@johnmagnan759]

Welcome back. Even brand new boats have issues. Many years ago I bought one new. The joys of boating lasted about a month before I was in a situation where everyone else on the boat was having fun while I had my ass in the engine room fixing things. Even worse the manufacturer used cheap electrical terminals and after about six months I started having intermittent electrical issues. That was a fun job redoing all the termination points with the right marine grade terminals. Hopefully all the major stuff will be finished soon and y'all can get to sailing and having some fun. Oh and I loved the way Mary quit. You have no idea how many people out here would love to do it the way she did. I sure hope she gave them a piece of her mind on the way out the door. Hell with giving two weeks notice too. Employers don't give you two weeks to prepare for a layoff or termination.
