EP11 - Friends Visit as Argonaut Turns South to the Broughton’s

[@Yachtnerd]

Very enjoyable video! Thank you for taking me along on your cruise. I did start getting a bit hungry towards the end.

[@danf9795]

I always have coffee when I watch radar, you know that, everybody knows that! Of course we do sir! Hahaha. Such a great (and appropriate) Easter egg dropped in there :)

[@MV_Argonaut]

The best!

[@paullaviolette2610]

Very cool I spent a lot of time in Echo Bay as a kid. We grew up on the floatcamps in that area and so did my mother. My Dads parents gave up floatcamp life and built the Echo Bay Hotel in the 30s so that’s where Dad grew up. Mom and Dad both went the Airforce during the war but got a floatcamp and us kids lived that life too. Echo Bay at Nannies hotel was a common thing for us. Everyone from all around would meet there almost weekly to wait for the freight boat/passenger boat. Of course I could go on for hours with stories but just wanted put my two it’s worth in. Thanks for having us along.

Life couldn’t be any better, classic Boat ,delicious food,Great people ,the best scenery ever. the history. Jealous .

[@billt4421]

Thanks for another great video, Nick! Truly a pleasure to watch. Fun fact - Did you know that our boats share a common link? They were both owned for a period of time by the same person. Now you have to guess what my boat is. 🙂

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Jason 🤔✌🏻🧙🏻‍♂️🇬🇧 would be logical..and appropriate.

[@dennisreeves632]

What a fabulous trip and those meals you guys fix are off the charts,, Holy Cow!!!!!!!

[@kevinpickard9212]

Enjoyed this video. Nice editing. Love the video footage of the boat, she is a beauty

[@fraserwright9482]

Nice video mate, its nice to see the boat being enjoyed by other people as well as yourself

[@peterriess8256]

It was a pleasure to have you guys visit us (and Deerleap) at Echo Bay!

[@Mutant_11]

Gorgeous scenery!

[@edwardmacintosh9476]

Its excelerating to see the porpoise having a great time riding the bow wave of your beautiful boat. It's like being at the carnival for them. Also, I believe they use the dynamics of the wave to use less energy while propels g them through water. How fantastic is that. Great video Sir. I envy your life style, & wish I were forty years younger, so perhaps I could do something similar. But alas, it's too late for that , but others surely should consider it. It's magical.

[@kellyflynn2314]

Andrew was great.

[@user-sx4yu3nw4j]

Amazing food! There’s nothing quite like cooking from scratch with friends

[@glengullickson6538]

Fury Cove was one of our favorite anchorages years ago when we took our Cape George 31, Laurel, from Friday Harbor to Glacier Bay. The drone shots due it justice! You DO eat well!

[@marty955]

So glad your finger survived the "surgery". A rule of thumb (pun intended) is always cut away from yourself, but of course you already learned that! I really love your boat with its history, uniqueness, and your videos. You have a great lifestyle, one that makes me jealous. Please keep the videos coming!

[@BrianTheGreenMan]

Everybody to their own, but I really appreciated the coast and the boat with this video. Well done.

[@ginapainter]

Hats off to you: anyone who can make fresh pasta on a boat has my unending admiration. Great visuals too . Thank you!

[@gobic1319]

What a lifestyle! The Argonaut is such a cool boat, perfect for the Pacific Northwest.

[@seanhanlon5867]

Yes you do eat well on Argonaut 👏🏻👊🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@georgepauls4159]

Nick, how about a bit more info on the wooden boats you pass and visit, this one was a beauty, but the footage was too little and too short - please Guess I’d love to add, how about a map of the First Nations groups, it would be great to see their relation to each other as well as the various islands and how about some merch as a way to support you and Argonaut II

[@sdavis471]

Boats brews and buds. Miss you guys. I bet he remebered socks

[@MV_Argonaut]

Missed you too, my man!

[@jenniferrisenmay9657]

One of your best videos yet. I am loving your adventures!

[@TL-rl9xk]

Great video, as always!

[@drp551]

Another awesome video and adventure! Livin' LARGE!

[@JAMESMT-mm6zl]

Always fun to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@alexrodaro1]

Damn I felt the knife scratching the finger bone OUCH!!!

[@brentjones515]

I saw your group of old boats on the Columbia while out on our boat this year, so fun seeing those amazing old boats still putting hours on their engines

[@MrYabbyman]

Great music Nick! I eventually noticed I wasn't really noticing the music because it was so in tune with the great shots you took.

[@tomwhelan9872]

You're living the life lads. Beautiful country. I cringed when I saw the way the knife was facing😁. Glad it wasn't too bad.

[@virtualburton]

Yikes! Sorry about the cut Nick! Great video, as usual. Thanks for sharing!

[@KennyP88]

Great episode. ❤

[@ericpatterson3887]

You always make me hungry with your vids Nicholas (hope i spelled your name correctly). And as always your vids make me jealous of your adventures.i know it's not all rainbows and sunshine cruising with a fairly large MV, but it sure looks like there are some pretty sweet perks. So i had a couple questions for you. 1) How often do you change your oil in the Gardner and what brand, viscosity, and weight do you use (ie: 15-40, 10-30 etc...)? As I am sure that the specific type plays a large role in how well the engine runs, given what I imagine would be fairly large temperature swings from start-up to run temp and changes in temp day to day and season to season. Not to mention for the longevity of the engine as well. 2) I believe you like to read. Who is your favorite or favorites and what type of reading do you enjoy? Do you have any recommendations? Would you like any recommendations? The BC coast has some amazing scenery. Thank You for sharing it. Thank You for your hard work in putting out these videos. So, I'm considering joining your Patreon. How much would be a good donation to give monthly, or weekly if you prefer? I'm sure the more the better but I'm disabled and on a fixed income, but can afford a reasonable sum. Just looking for a suggestion as I've no idea what your financial situation is or how many people are supporting your dreamy life style. Hope all is well, and you know, it is not always necessary to show when you slice yourself, especially a close-up in slow motion! Geez that made me wince and turn away! You got me good!

[@MV_Argonaut]

Hi Eric, thanks for your comment. I am going to try and answer your questions here: 1. I change my oil annually, and use a 15-40 weight. There is a prior video I put up going through an oil change right before the start of my trip. 2. I do enjoy reading, although haven't been doing much of it this summer which surprised me--I was very busy hosting and video editing--these videos have consumed all my free time. I enjoy mostly non-fiction books, particularly historical adventure books or books on exploration. 3. I so appreciate your consideration in becoming a Patreon. I have a few options to contribute to this project/Argonaut II listed on my website, and any contribution is much appreciated. I am working to try and build a community around this boat to continue producing videos as well as funding some major restoration projects this boat needs that I cannot do on my own.

[@SteveL-v9u]

Always a treat to catch your latest video. Nick, you are a master at tides, winds and currents. I personally wouldn't hang out very long in Frying Pan Bay, however. Who knows what nefarious history is behind that unsettling name. Safe journeys!

[@marilynplant4647]

Wonderful video of our beautiful coast. I was holding my breath as you headed around Cape Caution but you had perfect conditions. If I had any criticism of your work it would be that your videos are too short!

[@JohnGrabowski-f9j]

I enjoyed

[@phildaylenejones3838]

Castles of Burgundy! That game is one of our favorites.

[@CANADAFIRST-4-TRUMP]

that really is a beautiful old wooden boat from another time

[@markhuston9250]

What is Canadafirst-4-Trump? Hopefully just a very mind bent typo

[@stevenstandaert3675]

I have really enjoyed watching your travels. Also I’m reading a book titled staying Afloat about a family that were log salvagers between 1972 to 1984 in that area. The writer talks about getting visits from the missionary ship Thomas Crosby.

[@sarahjones5974]

Great video! So fun!

[@garrycornel2371]

Thanks!

[@MV_Argonaut]

Thank you so much!

[@Bairdovich]

What, sick of salmon?!!!!! Gad man, you've been spoiled. 😂

[@MikeAG333]

Never, never, never have any of your flesh in front of a blade, be it a knife or a chisel. But you know that now, don't you.......

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Beatiful scenery and would have loved to see that other vintage fantail yatch. You might want to get yourself a filiting glove to save your fingers.. they are usealy stainless steel mesh or small rings but i believe they may do man made plastic materials ones now. Handy for dealing with recalcitrent crabs as well.

[@MV_Argonaut]

Yes that’s a good idea!

[@richardmunslow9764]

Presumably the Argonaut II is named for the mythological tale of Jason and the Argonauts. However, Jason’s ship was named the Argo. The Argonauts were his crew. Like astronauts.

[@davefroman4700]

If it were me? I would be bobbing along somewhere down in the Baja for the winter by now....

[@44Magnumproductions1]

Hi I'm enjoying your content just a question on file consumption with your Gardner? I have a 6lx 1985 model 150hp @1200 rpm max pushing my 56ft timber Ketch Seabiscuit IV. Thanks for your time

[@MV_Argonaut]

This summer I burned about 2.2 gph at 750 rpm ~7.2 knots

[@two-sense]

I had a Gardner for years and I don't think I went through even one file.

Don’t put the cabins on your You-Tube channel pls. Imagine asking the person who built that cabin, “is it ok if I broadcast the existence of this cabin over the entire internet?”

[@davidj4662]

My house is on google streetview and I don't have much say about it. What makes them special?

[@fraserwright9482]

If there is a sign saying "private" then you have a point. If you have built something for others to use then having someone clutching their pearls like a HOA Karen then you miss the point of community structures.

[@ravenlw87]

@@MV_Argonaut the cabin was constructed by Wuikinuxv community members in the late 80’s and is referred to as the “Clam Beach Cabin”. The area itself holds cultural significance to the Wuikinuxv people as it is a seasonal village site since time immemorial, and the cabin itself has been utilized by many community members over the last 3-4 decades. This cabin was constructed with the intent for community members to have a safe place to take shelter while spending time on the territory to participate in harvesting, hunting, monitoring, stewardship, spiritual and cultural activities. As you can see, it is need of some TLC and our Nation is working on securing funding for that right now so that this important piece of infrastructure can be utilized by our future generations for cultural and environmental stewardship preservation.
