[@sandbarbob1]

Love, love, love... so jealous... I’m really hating my couch right now!!!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

sell that couch! :)

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Those potatoes made my mouth water! You guys, Oona, Dan and Kika and Jordan and Randi are the most fun to watch when you are having fun. Keep on keeping on.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

thanks matt!

[@jetlaggedchef6806]

That's the great thing about sharks! They're just like puppy dogs. Some of them will come up and let you pet them. So glad you guys are having fun with Dan and Kiki!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Recently we watched an Ocean Ramsey documentary which makes us way more knowledgeable and comfortable around sharks. I wish they would have let me pet them 😍

@@BeauAndBrandy I live in Florida and am avid scuba diver, we see sharks (almost) every dive. During lobster hunting season, lobsters are often found under ledges with a sleeping nurse sharks and an eel. (Eels aren't aggressive but if you get too close, they'll take a finger right off in one bite.) Once during lemon shark aggregation season, a group of lemon sharks herded our dive group into a bait ball. We realized what was happening and were like, "F NO, TIME TO GO!" Hahaha. :) I've only seen a great white a few times, once in Florida and the other times off the west coast and in Hawaii. They're definitely intimidating looking but they didn't bother any of us. Their vision is really bad and I think they prefer beach goers that look like seals from under the water. A bull shark (easily identified by the squarish looking nose) is a different story. Those things are mean and scary AF. They'll bite off your leg just to post it on KZbin! Haha. :) If you ever see one of those, gtfo of there and don't look back.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

yes.. not looking to get into a bait ball anytime soon or make that EVER! yikes! those damn bull sharks and their youtube vlogs, its such a competition with them, they need all the viewership they can get...so they pull out all the stops. jerks.

[@b87gr]

I made my way to your channel right after discovering Dan and Kika...beautiful and awesome people!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

They sure are!! 💜 those guys!!

[@orobiller1]

Billy Zane's long lost son has a sailing channel? Subscribed!! Nice Video guy's!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Haha! He gets that one often. Also, Kelly slater is high on the beau doppelgänger list.

[@torlandmusiq]

Puttswell Billy Zane! Thats the guy I was thinking of myself but I didnt know his name.

[@KiwiFin]

I saw this episode on Sailing Uma. during my binge watching lol awesome y’all got to hang. What a great adventure!

[@davidtiedt2767]

nothing better than food cooked over a campfire

[@TsarOfRuss]

Mmmmmmmm !!! Oh Yeaaaaaaa !!!! nice meal

[@mariemorrissey9378]

Love this video! 😍😁😜😘 All caught up for now!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

:) thanks Marie! Hope you are having a great beginning to the year!

[@stevesheliflying]

Very nice. Love campfire cooking. I so wish we were there. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks for tuning in Steve!!

[@SVImpavidus]

Hi Guy's Ant here, FYI the Honda's while a really robust engine suffer from muck in the carburetor bowl, sometimes water condensation. The carb is an aluminium body but the bowl is pressed steel. Which induces moisture after running. The Idle jet gets muck and water sucked up through it which blocks the idle jet. Cure is to remove the bowl, clean it out. Drain it with the drain plug (brass nut on the underside) if your not going to use it for a few weeks. If the idle jet is blocked with muck first try blowing it out with air from a compressor or on board a foot pump. You may need to undo the jet/float valve, with a flat screwdriver. Be careful this is a brass fitting in an aluminum casting and they do bond in. Sometimes they bond so bad a new /recon carb is the only solution. Having said that or Honda lasted 15+ years, with only one carb change. Hope this helps, if you need any help just PM us.. Sail safe. Ant & cid

[@BeauAndBrandy]

It sure did!! Thank you! 🙌🙌 appreciate it!

[@mariemorrissey9378]

👍👍😊

[@svvictory4379]

Camp fire and food looks great

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks Trevor! 🔥

[@Sailing13Winds]

That was a GREAT video...of 2 channels coming together...Uma meets other channels as well BUT that was AWESOME! Your at the top!! Enjoy....

[@BeauAndBrandy]

WOW!! that's a very nice compliment!! thank you !! :)

[@JustMe-pp1mp]

Looks like a nice relaxing day. I couldn't believe you actually got Dan to go fishing. I don't think he's ever posted a fishing adventure on his own channel. You've hooked up with a good couple, hope you enjoy your time together. Stay safe :-)

[@recaibayhan9266]

Fire and chat on the beach. Super

[@BeauAndBrandy]

it was a perfect night!

[@Dr.J_theCPA]

I love UMA too.

[@meacenastiberius9438]

Good to see you guys are living it. Todays gas sucks, its got that corn oil in it an sticks up the tiny holes in the carb. Ya gotta clean it every once in a while. Your videos are getting better too. I had to binge watch a dozen or so to see where you all come from. Keep on keepin on...

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Agree on the gas. Thank goodness our dinghy motor is the only one we have to worry about. We are working hard on getting better with the vids, thanks for the compliment! 🙌🙌

[@frankrice5364]

Having fun that is all that matters

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thank frank, can't agree more!!

[@garyt2005]

YES!! the Mercury 5 ...Its a tohatsu from japan inside..( 2 stroke best) Great aquisition if you can get one Beau... Mercury Marine's primary business is outboard motors. Mercury Outboards, 30 Hp and less, are made by Tohatsu in Japan. Mercury Marine builds 40, 50 and 60 horsepower outboard motors in Suzhou, China. ... Mercury Racing is the company's division for racing engines tailored for power and speed.

[@jandesmet4962]

About the spark plug - have had serious trouble with gapless spark plugs on large engines (150 and 140 HP) in the past, when in warm waters. Apparently the engine lock got too hot and those gapless plugs did not like that. You have a regular spark plug?

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks Jan! Yes we have a normal spark plug. In the end it was more of a carburetor issue. Haven’t had any real issues since!! phew!

[@RiggingDoctor]

Looks delicious!

[@srqlisa7881]

Nice video, Next time make 2 fires one for cooking and one for light. : ) peace

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Good idea!! 🔥🔥

[@roberttoodie275]

Editing looks good in this video, thumbs up.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks Robert!

[@RiggingDoctor]

The Air Cooled Honda hates being turned off with the button. Apparently they like to have the fuel switch killed and let the motor run dry. Keeps the plug from fouling.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Good to know! Thanks! It's working better now at least!

[@RiggingDoctor]

Thought it was a nurse shark from the surface until you put the camera underwater. Black tip! 😱

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Yah, gotta admit I went in thinking maybe they were nurse sharks...lol. 🤷‍♀️ they didn't want anything to do with me.

[@RiggingDoctor]

Sailing Saoirse I would have acted like a squid and made a cloud of “ink” in the water!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Hahaha! 😂🤣

[@Dr.J_theCPA]

Maybe you should plant some vegetables and fruits on the island

[@BeauAndBrandy]

not a lot of things grow in the islands here. too harsh of weather and the soil isn't as plentiful. We did meet a guy that was growing things hydroponically.

[@Dr.J_theCPA]

Sailing Saoirse womderful.....just thought of it......I am looking for a sailboat and would love doing this adventure and or sailing around....perhaps you recall, I live in West Palm Beach, I also lived in Fort Pierce, so I know the area.....be safe you two!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Can't wait to see you starting your adventure!

[@chrisd6053]

Love u guys live it up

[@BeauAndBrandy]

trying our best to soak it all up!

[@adamff280]

You're doing it! So happy for ya! But next time you should....umm (just kidding). Keep doing what you're doing and making it up as you go along--that's what it's all about. Never got the fish/lobster count? It was obviously enough.. I hope the foil pack idea was from me. If not, I'll take credit anyway :-)

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Haha! Thanks! Just tying to do our best 🙃🙂🙃🙂 and you are getting credit for the foil 🙌

[@fwtailchaser3502]

May I ask what editing app do you use?

Thanks Dave!

[@FeelItRising]

Una gonna overheat with that life jacket on.

[@BeauAndBrandy]

She has been good so far. We keep an eye out for that. It's not too hot here yet, and if she does show signs, she can go down below.

[@FeelItRising]

@@BeauAndBrandy I was speaking more about the beach and the fire, let her be free! But it was more in jest. I know you love her and take great care of her.. :)

[@BeauAndBrandy]

hahaha! oh yah! sometimes we forget its on her. it makes finding her in the brush easier though 😂

[@tomwilliams8675]

I love seeing both you guys together, I follow you both. Now I'm hungry 😊 Looks like the weather is beautiful there and you're having a great time. It certainly brightens my day. We're having a blizzard here in Syracuse NY expecting 9 or more inches of snow tonight. Yup, I'd rather be with you. Have a great week. Stay away from those sharks!

[@BeauAndBrandy]

Thanks Tom! YIKES!! I like to say the FREEZING 3 years that we spent in Albany made us get the boat and sail south for good!! lol.
