Hey I love the Videos, KEEP IT UP 👍

[@caromarco6315]

Davis already looks like he’s well on his way! What a life you are leading now!

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

With kid boats and land, he has definitely enjoyed his time!

[@bobcrosby8998]

Look forward to seeing your new adventures.

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

More coming for sure! Thanks for following our journey!

[@earlhunt2815]

Great video! Y'all are so upbeat... made my day

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

Aww! Hope you had a great day!!

[@ricke555]

We are currently on a charter with our 7 and 4 yr old. They are experiencing such amazing things. We are a little different we live at the beach and get them outside as much as we can. No iPads except rarely etc. But I do believe the kids that grow up cruising are amazing. I’ve seen a few from KZbin and these kids seem confident smart and well balanced. Great job and brave what you guys are doing

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

Thanks! We do the best we can for our kiddo!

[@keithbores4146]

Happy Shannon, happy Davis? What kind of power does that place hold?! Seriously, so glad the good days are shining through! Hope you get crazy good breezes at night for cool sleeping!

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

We’ve really enjoyed our time in the marquesas! It’s stunningly beautiful everywhere you look.

[@RickParsons-ci5te]

Hi Guys, good to see all your smiles, especially on date night/day. Davis will get there...he has great DNA. Laundry in exotic places 🤣. Can't wait for next video.

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

It's a challenge, but we are persevering! We are definitely looking forward to getting back to normal with the return of our inverter!

[@crowdfundcrew]

So beautiful there. I could survive doing laundry in a bucket with those island experiences. Donate for a Dream

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

It wasn’t half bad! The views definitely helped😊

[@TradeWindgng]

Great video Great People Love it Keep them coming please

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

Thanks so much!!

[@johnh.5779]

Might be your best video yet! Good on Davis! Good on mom & dad pushing forward.

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

Thank you! We are enjoying our time here that’s for sure!

[@LaurieShannon-gr2ts]

You guys are doing a great job with Davis. It sounds like you all are learning to branch out to be more adventurous. At times, it may seem scary to take those next steps but pat yourselves on the back for each one taken. Have fun with it all. Thanks for taking us along.

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

We didn’t realize how comfortable we were with a stagnant life at home. Davis & I both are learning to push ourselves outside our comfort zone and having a great time!

[@highoctanehome]

Hey Guys! Loved spending time with you last night! The smiling tiki was our favorite! ❤

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

We are blessed to know you! It's the friends out here that make this so special!!

[@TheDiverJim]

Love it. Really love the bit at the end about unschooling

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

Definitely need to let him learn life lessons!!

[@familyupgrade]

You are doing great by Davis. Just know that. For me, with my two NPF-kids, just trying new food was a struggle. But now, they'll just about anything. Keep on going! /Catta from Sweden

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

Thanks! It is a struggle. He's such a strong willed kid, it's hard to get him to step out of his comfort zone when food is concerned.

[@kennisjarvis8105]

I don’t think seeing dolphins would ever get old.

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

Just saw them today and no it never gets old😊

[@The_Travelling_Jonoberries]

Glad to see that you starting to experience the South Pacific way of life. Great to see that you are part of a sailing group which makes life a little easier, if Nahoa are with you then the world is your oyster as they are the legends of the seven seas. Good to see Davis is settling in and that he now has the tongue for blue cheese 😮. Until the next episode please take care, be safe and God bless you all 😇🙏⛵️

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

The community vibe is crazy strong in the sailing and cruising world. We love the bonds made out here with all the other boats!!

[@fuzzycognitive241]

It's always a good day when you have dolph-friends on your bow 🐬

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

It is a great day! They seem to be all around the islands here!

[@jg.legend5060]

Well said by both of you at end..I love that for Davis....he has come out so.much already...

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

Thank you! He is making good progress 😊

[@PaulLue]

That was some great drone footage of the coastline and mountains. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed watching

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

We are trying to get better at flying the drone. It's tough sometimes with the wind and we are trying to find a better way of getting it back on the boat while sailing.

[@PaulLue]

@@SailingParadiseFalls I can’t even imagine.

[@bettiehall2833]

Wow! Incredible beauty!

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

It really is!

[@Jayboi101]

Hi davis You might remember me snd tiger from sadler point marina when you left from Jacksonville to fort Lauderdale just wanted to say hi and hope your doing great Hope you will have a Great adventure the rest of your way!

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

Hi Tiger Shark!! This is Davis. I am having a much better time now. It was a rough start as not very many kids boats in the Bahamas but we are slowly finding more kids. I do miss all my friends and running around the marina! Hope you and your parents are doing well! Please tell everyone at Sadler hi! Davis

[@denisecole6128]

It might help with your washing to buy a $20 prepper washing plunger. It will clean your clothes wonderfully and the plunger won’t take much storage.

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

We have one but we find it easier to just agitate the clothes with my hands (plus it’s a good workout). I can’t wait to get our inverter back! Thank you for your suggestion😊

[@marka2656]

Looks like you are having an awesome adventure. What is Davis wearing on his ankle? Steady Winds my friends.

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

We are! He was probably wearing a shark bandz. He likes to wear them sometimes even when not in the water.

[@thomasw5430]

I am with you, hopefully Davis will get out of his shell. I would hate to have think in a few years as he gets older he will regret not doing more. I know when I was growing up, I left the house after breakfast, and unless we went home for lunch, my parents did not see me til dinner time. I was too busy having fun with my friends either in the woods, or at the beach. Sadly, at least from what I see, every free minute a kid has is planned. Loving the videos though, you are cruising the region I would kill to be able to travel like you guys. For some reason the Pacific region has always had a special place in my heart and I so want to travel through it- sadly it looks like I’ll be flying instead of sailing through the area. Are you guys going to the Cook Islands? That’s on my list to visit. Safe travels!!

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

However you get here - come! It’s amazing! The small cruise/cargo ship seems to hit all the anchorages so that might be an option -Arauni 5 I think. We are planning to visit the Cook Islands.

[@KP-lt4kt]

👍🙏

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

😊⛵️🍻

[@juliazentner681]

I love love love the honesty about kids and Davis. I hope other culte-sac families hear you.. my children were born from 1992 -2001 and I think my lucky stars my girls are athletic, and I couldn't afford the good life until they learned to play out side etc!

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

Davis was in cubscouts, swim team and roamed the neighborhood daily so we thought we were good. These kids out here are on another level of adventurous & outgoing. It’s really great to see😊

[@TheDiverJim]

Do you guys think you’ll be able to come back after such amazing living?

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

Well, if Rob had his way, we'd be settled in a small Island around here!!

[@TheDiverJim]

@@SailingParadiseFalls yup. It looks like heaven on earth. I want to go there so bad

[@shawnkerr8614]

That the live I am headed to right there

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

We hope you achieve your dreams! It's so worth it!!

[@shawnkerr8614]

@@SailingParadiseFalls What editing software do you guys use?

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

Wondershare Filmora

[@Jayboi101]

Davis by the way this is tigers friend but i will tell him

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

Hi!!

[@Jayboi101]

Are you ever gonna come back

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

Davis should return to Florida in May 2026 although will most likely return to land based home for high school.

[@audiovideo1979]

Please clean your lenses.

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

We do...it's a huge challenge out here trying to keep it clean!
