This is so entertaining when I have decided to move to the US once the lockdown is over in my country, Malaysia and get a yacht to stay in full time.. Gonna subscribe to see and learn more about America..

[@SemperFido9915]

I drive over to Monterey about 6 times a year, and I absolutely LOVE the people there. Between them and the food, it's become a home away from home. :-)

[@clarkd1955]

Emma’s teeth look fabulous. I got braces when I was in my sixties and I know how terrible it is to look after them. It looks like all that effort and money was worth it. Great videos as always.

[@jimk9417]

What timing...the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elagance is one of the premier car shows in the nation. Being there as cars an exhibitors were arriving meant you avoided the big crowds. Very nice :).

[@billyboyblue17]

Emma, I don't know why I hadn't noticed before now, but your teeth are stunning! The dentist you went to did an amazing job!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thank you so much!! We love Dr. Payne! He's amazing!

[@wstu777]

i just noticed on the Morro Bay Yacht club cam you guys are in MB. Welcome I use to own the small cat (Gemini) to the south of your mooring. I miss having a boat. Giovanni's Fish Market has the best fish and chips in town. Also this Sunday evening there is a premiere at the move theater that gives the history of the MB abalone. Enjoy your stay in MB.

[@tealgoben1781]

We can see the Gemini from here.

[@timwilliams3919]

I grew up in Gilroy, spent a lot of my youth in Monterey and Santa Cruz, taught scuba on the other side of the breakwater, was one of the first members of the Aquarium, thanks for the memories…wish I could have been down there. Emma I love your channel. Keep it coming. The history of Monterey is amazing.

Enjoyed how cautious Teal is but he is the responsible one.Sorry to hear Linh got hurt but did enjoy those big kicks in the water.And Emma your narrating is as good as ever don't know what your majoring in school but journalism or narrating seems to suit you. But my guess is that you will follow in your parents footsteps. Nice area and wish you safe sailing down to the next destination. Be careful and stay safe

[@perryhaddix407]

Safe travels.

[@cherylfaulkner8763]

Loved the shot of SV Basik docked on the end revealing once again how big she really is.

[@marcvarner1]

No kidding, I was in Monterey and thought I might catch a glimpse of her out at anchor. I parked out on Fishermans pier. Looking out to the bay,I didn't see anything. I turned around and wow, there she was. I was dumbstruck how huge that cat looks. I couldn't believe it fit where she was docked. I been on a 30' monohull through there and you have to keep your eyes open. You don't happen to know her dimensions do you?

[@tealgoben1781]

Basik is 43.5' x 25'

[@ernest795]

Met the family in Monterey this past week, Was down at the harbor for 5 days selling my sailboat. Got the buyer the day I met them and finalized the sale the day they left harbor! @ 13:03 the boat directly ahead of the dinghy was my boat! I happen to be coming into the dock when they were exiting the inner harbor, @ 15:32 you can see a dinghy coming in from the left side of the screen, that is me, I motored close and wished them Safe Travels!

[@trevhedges]

Thanks guys!

[@indydawson]

Wait until Lynn discovers these things called fins. She's going to be so pissed.

[@linhgobenyt]

Lol, I need some fins.

[@robertduncan4612]

Teal, Linh, and Emma.... I have been reading from Nigel Calder's Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual and Marine Diesel Engines as well as other material about how mis-wired boats and/or mis-wired shore power service plugs can have improper grounding that can inadvertently and unknowingly put a deadly electrical current into the water. The use of a properly installed galvanic isolator may protect you and others (while swimming in proximity to your boat's hull) but other peoples' boats may possibly not be able to prevent electrocution in proximity to yours. Just wanted to bring this to your attention. Really enjoy your videos.

[@lancer525]

For a moment there, I thought that was a dolphin swimming around the boat, it was so graceful...

[@linhgobenyt]

Lol, the harbor seals are the cutest! They are so curious and adorable to watch.

[@lancer525]

@@linhgobenyt No, actually I was talking about the graceful dolphin cleaning the boat... Ha!

[@chetdogspoon]

Nice to visit my old hometown, was born and raised on the Peninsula, left when I joined the service in the early seventies; the place is timeless. thanks.

[@navarredr]

I subscribe to quite a few YT channels... sailing, cars (yes, Jay Leno's garage.. sorry you didn't see him), bikes, travel, music.. but Onboard Lifestyle is my favorite. Keep making videos that you would want to watch. Not for $YT. Looking forward to next week's adventure. Cheers!

[@jaywatson7451]

Another great video. Really liked the sea lion lounging on the Mary Jane’s swim deck. I hope everyone else saw that too.

[@warrendemars]

I noticed that too. Pretty funny.

Always nice to hear and see you in the videos Emma!…Great job 👍

[@edanoestreich8976]

Your boat looks terrific. Love how the hard top came out. Have a great sail down the coast!

[@tamhnguyen]

It is great to have Emma narrate the historical information of the place of your visit, and be the voice for tourist attraction. 😉

[@linhgobenyt]

She is learning a lot as we sail South and lucky for us, she loves history. 😊😊😊

How can anyone click “thumbs down” .. this video was amazing just like every other video you guys produce. Keep up the good work guys

[@davidmarx8500]

I know right they are truly awesome family got to meet them when they came by Coos Bay OR

[@ardentenquirer8573]

History lesson excellent enjoyed the animal pictures ... thank you ... ideas ... journal your trip ... look for cause and effect as you look around town ... for example 1) why did the people come 2)what resources did they find 3) How did they adapt to the area? Homes, furniture, clothing, roads Notice a canning factory? What did it can and when and why did it go out of business The times are a changin'

[@kevinfox6220]

This is one of my favorite places to visit. So glad you could be there and enjoy it as well.

[@BigDThatsMe]

Wow lots of boats, Basic looks huge compared to the rest of those boats. I love watching your videos, thanks for sharing with us.

[@rnbspowa7of69]

Go Emma.

[@tealgoben1781]

That was the plan. Unfortunately, the road to the castle received damage from storms earlier this year and is closed.

I see new sun screen nets around helm area. very nice Linh.

[@gregoreywilkinson5940]

Maybe LIhn would do better if you buy these a suction cup handles for glass then you can hold onto boat and use brush a lot easier and release and move down a bit further and you won’t strain your shoulder as much or be pushed away from the boat by waves or currents

[@justicebdone]

Another great episode you three!! As a life time nightshifter🌙 I'm telling you Linh is the smart one because there's no Sr management to deal with overnight lol. See you next week, be safe!!

The Laguna Seca Rolex time is a great time to see some fantastic cars pick the right one or two and they could be the cost of a super luxury yacht.

[@liloldme2789]

Sorry Linh, I fell out laughing at your gracefulness! BTW....I have never seen so many Catalina 22's in one place!

[@linhgobenyt]

Lol, I did too after I saw the footage. This is the first time I have ever worn a 7mm wetsuit and did not anticipate how hard it was to swim down. Next time, I will wear fins and some weights. 😋

[@jerrybarrett6376]

Great to see your wonderful family of hard working sailors, kicking back and enjoying yourselves as you slowly slip southward to a warmer climate and closer to where mom and dad spent many years. Good O’. 🐻🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@linhgobenyt]

Thanks Jerry! It's been fun doing more exploring after all this time working on basik. We're having a great time. 👍

[@warrendemars]

My wife has had issues with her shoulders too. First, the best doctor visit is a chiropractor. It's not uncommon to dislocate a rib or shoulder that causes inflammation.

[@dennismcquoid9751]

Hope it's not too late, but Hearst Castel in San Simeon is a must see. The property is unlike anything you'll see anywhere.

[@genewaddlerandomstuff2122]

She said it's closed at the moment because of a storm damaged road.

[@peterkacandes5905]

When scrubbing the bottom, wearing a weight belt helps tremendously. Also use one of those bathroom things where you stick it to the hull and then lock it it place. You can get them from Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Fins will also help. Trust me on this one as some one who regularly jumps in SF Bay to clean the bottom of my monohull.

[@whitneylake2107]

Thank you for another tour and some local history

[@waynep343]

the longer your shoulder stays out of place the long if ever it will take to heal. get teal or emma to pull while you do the backstroke motions to see if it will snap back in place.. you may have luck with swinging a bucket of water.. overhead.. start with a quart.. work up to a gallon if it does not snap back into place.. start winding some winches.

[@nena4215]

So sorry I didn’t see you cry when you got the diesel.....$4.29 a gallon here in CA!

[@linhgobenyt]

Lol, even worse! It was 4.40 per gallon. Yikes 😳

[@genewaddlerandomstuff2122]

What a great, relaxing video. I like that your plan has always been to stop and explore the known and lesser-known places along the way. Wishing you well and wishing you fun.

[@linhgobenyt]

Thanks Gene! We didn't explore Monterey the last time we were here so this visit was new to all of us. Looking forward to smaller lesser known areas soon. 😊

You guys do such a great job on your videos, like everything else you do. Emma is a star, very well spoken young lady and knows her stuff, refreshing. For Cindy and I it's fun to see you visit the same places we did on our trip down the coast in June, in fact you had the same side tie we did in Monterey. San Simeon is a beautiful anchorage that I'm sure you will enjoy. Safe Travel's, can't wait for the next installment.

[@michiganengineer8621]

That was a super skinny entry in the the harbor, I know I wouldn't want to try and get anything beamier in there. For minor overworked joints and muscles I love using Aspercreme or something similar well rubbed in. I'm not sure if it's the cream or the massage but for me at least it works to ease those aches.

[@kathrynmccluskey3207]

Arnicare is also good for aches and pain. It’s great for muscle strain. I love Monterey Bay. Exciting and relaxing. Sail on !

[@pachorra2184]

A little historical reference, in November 24th 1818 an Argentine corsair raiding Spanish settlement and occupied the Monterrey fortress rising the flag of then, the new nation of Argentina. In conclusion for a little bit of time New California was Argentina.

[@murraywagnon1841]

Kind of a narrow channel for that boat. I saw you guys tied up over by the Harbor Masters. What a beautiful vessel! (fins and a little weight might help when cleaning the hulls)

Did you Lynn make the sun screen around the helm?great video as usual 😀

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Yes I did. 😊

[@peterkacandes5905]

Do you guys have folding bicycles? Would be very helpful to see more of the local areas. There are some great rides up and down the coast, like 17 mile drive.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

No we don't have bikes onboard. They tend to rust up too fast. Sometimes we wish we had them, but so far it's been ok walking everywhere.

[@Raudoc2k1]

The Monterey Bay Aquarium is a wonderful place to visit. I have been to several aquariums over the years and have always compared them to the one in Seattle. and so far the one in Monterey is the only one that not only can hold a candle to the one in Seattle but i feel there's a lot more history and information available. My one and only visit to Monterey was a fluke. I was just on a random drive and wound up down there. I happened to drive past the aquarium's main entrance and recognized the sign on the side of the building. Though I was a bit confused as i thought that was supposed to be up in Sausalito under the name of "the Cetacean Institute" but I guess I forgot how much Hollywood gets wrong.

[@GregStark381CC]

Linh, your recent shoulder condition could be coming from sitting/working in an awkward position while you are doing your video editing. I am assuming you spend a large amount of time at your computer and if your work station is not ergonomically correct this can cause you to have shoulder and neck problems over time. It can also cause wrist and hand trouble and I believe you previously were having some pain in your wrist. If you are sitting at a deck top that is too high for you or if maybe you are using your arm in an extended or awkward position this can lead to shoulder, neck and wrist trouble over time. Your work station could be too low for you but I am assuming in your case that is less likely. (Sorry). One of the worse things we can do to ourselves is to sit for an extended period of time without getting up and stretching. It may take an extended period of time before this habit and bad ergonomics catches up to us but in many cases it does cause a lot of the difficulty that you appear to be experiencing.

[@treskir]

Nice Job Emma. 45/8" taller.... so far.:)

[@mauiboy9763]

Another Excellent video. I never get in the water in Marinas or Harbors unless absolutely necessary. They are all polluted ..... mostly from the other boats. Save hull scrubbing for when at anchor in some clean clear water,

[@linhgobenyt]

We are of the same thought with the exception of this marina. This is a clean marina meaning nothing goes into the water from boats. This area is a sanctuary for sealife so they take extreme measures to ensure the water is clean. From our spot, we could see right to the bottom. Water clarity is unreal here. 😍

My 2 cents but wouldn’t fins be helpful while in the water?🧜‍♀️

[@linhgobenyt]

Yes fins would've helped, as well as some weights. I picked up this used 7mm wetsuit while we were in Monterey because we needed to scrub our bottom and the water was still too cold to go in otherwise. I didn't anticipate floating so high and not being able to dive down. Lol

Great video. What's your adversion to using your water maker? It seems you don't like to use it.

It sounds like you had a great time. I’ve always wanted to see that aquarium. I was just waiting for this video to come out. The other day I had a dream that Linh and Emma where sitting with me at the bed. I was telling Linh that Emma should watch a show that came out called young Indiana Jones. Which is a real show. Then I needed to sharpen my pencil so I walked toured the old fashion pencil sharpener then I got pencil shavings all over your carpet by mistake. Teal was real mad at me I woke Linh up and he made me wash your carpet. It was more like in a hotel room than a boat. I have no idea what that dream was about, but I thought you would get a kick out of that. LOL. If you love marine life, museums, aquariums, and historical areas my state is a great place to stop at after the pandemic is over. It’s NC. We have three small aquariums, three martini museums. One in a town called SouthPort it talks about a pirate who was caught up the cape fear river. Another maritime museum has artifacts from Blackbeard the pirate ship. At Wilmington there is old historic houses with a ghost tour. There is the battleship that was used during the war in that town. There is a civil war fort really close to the aquarium. At Topsail beach there is a sea turtle hospital. If you stop at the outer banks, oak island, there are a lot of historic lighthouse. One island has wild horses, the outer banks is called the grave yard of ships. Many ships sank over there. The Germans sank many ships during the war at the outer banks, a civil war ship sank. The turret of the ship is in the maritime museum in Virginia. North of Southpoint close to Wilmington there is a ghost town from the 1700,s. At the island called Roanoke Island there is another aquarium, next to the aquarium is the lost colony. If you come inland after the pandemic near the SC NC boarder near the big city Charlotte there is a revolutionary battle. And in Greensboro there is a battle called Cowpins it has a great museum. If you go to the capital. The history museum is great also the science museum is really great too. It has a baby T.Rex, it’s got a butterfly room, ilabs where you can come in the lab and do experiments. The museum has a dinosaur with a heart. Right now the museums, national parks, state parks are close because the pandemic. So by the time you sail around the world to the Atlantic. SC, NC, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, have a lot of great historic areas. Never been to New Jersey, New York so I do not know about the historic museums. My aunt told me Boston is a great city if you want history about our country she said every body loves talking about our revolution in Boston.

Freud believed that dreams were essentially a form of wish-fulfillment. By taking unconscious thoughts, feelings, and desires and transforming them into less threatening forms, people are able to reduce the ego's anxiety. He often utilized the analysis of dreams as a starting point in his free association technique. So basically, I have no idea how to interpret your dream... it was fun to read though! 😉
