Family PREPARING to be at SEA for MONTHS... and we are slowly starting to LOSE it! (Episode 48)

[@RickParsons-ci5te]

Already knowing that you are safely across, it was great to see your prep video. Southern moms do not cry.....they mist sometimes with good reason while protecting their family for a major event. JuJu checking with John on the sponge's use LOL. Hope all your families at home are safe and weathered the Hurricane ok. Prayers for Team Machete & fair winds.

[@sailingmachete]

The misting comment made us bust out laughing!! Too funny! Thank you for watching and commenting! Yes the preparations was very stressful in my mind - and I'm sure it was really just the anticipation of being at sea and not knowing what to expect! Always great to hear from y'all. Everyone at home weathered the storm just fine! Praise the Lord! Hope everyone is safe and sound near you guys!

Thinking back of what happened this week about the crazy stressful 1st time provisioning after years, will turn to the sweetest moment of your sailing and don’t worry you guys are doing fantastic, especially mama machete

[@sailingmachete]

Thank you so much!! Yes we already look back and laugh!!

[@steffc8881]

There’s a lot of provisions lists for you to see. You really need to check the ditch bag requirements don’t guess on your safety of your family ❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩 You got this

[@sailingmachete]

YES! For sure!! We definitely had some guidance on the ditch bag! I've never used anything for provisioning though! Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@FrankJamger]

Wow, so much prep to do, plenty of stress! But it's good to be thorough. Hope you'll never need that ditch bag but it looks all set. JuJu on hand to make sure nothing is overlooked. At 18:46 you provide a detailed explanation of why most cruisers skip the Galapagos (lol), but it promises to be an amazing visit. The San Blas, too. Panama, here we come!

[@sailingmachete]

Yes! So true! I was willing to pay for a stop across the Pacific to break up the long trip for my kids!! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

[@ekitt7629]

God bless y’all. Safe Sailing!

[@Sgt_MoDog_USMC]

Just ran across your family's channel, but I've subbed and I'm excited to go back and start binging your videos to get caught up. 😀😀😀

[@sailingmachete]

Thank you so much!! Hopefully our channel doesn’t disappoint!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@PaulLue]

Holy smokes. Looks like y’all really made the best of your storage space.

[@sailingmachete]

For sure!! Thank you for watching!!

[@leehoffman3604]

Well, you just uploaded your video, which was shot in March, so I guess you are OK. What a prep event. I look forward to your canal passage and then getting on to Polynesia. But you are way beyond that. Where are you now??? Keep having fun.

[@sailingmachete]

Yes! We are good! We are in Tonga! Thank you so much for watching and for commenting! ❤️

[@leehoffman3604]

@@sailingmachete I'm just going to keep watching to see how you got there. How do the kids like Tonga?

[@sailingmachete]

@@leehoffman3604 Everyone is loving it!

[@jenniferyork9920]

Are ya’ll getting to watch any Clemson football out there? They’re doing pretty good this year. I know there’s probably not a lot of downtime.

[@sailingmachete]

Yess! But now it’s a weird time difference! We are a day ahead so we are watching football at some odd times! Ha!!

[@argonautnz]

Hi. Could you please let us know what man over board system you have? Thank you Mike

[@sailingmachete]

Hi! Unfortunately the man overboard system was a piece of junk and we do not recommend it. I believe in the next episode we go over the short comings of the system and how it didn’t work. Thank you for watching!

[@ginabrown3018]

Yay I'm first. That never happens I wish you the best of luck!!!

[@sailingmachete]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️

[@juliazentner681]

Oh 😢I miss the water slide song! It's the happiest funnest water type song. Please bring it back! Another great vlog no video no episode? Ok what's the proper verbiage?

[@sailingmachete]

I will!! I skip the song sometimes if I do a recap at the beginning- it can make for a long introduction! Ha! You can call it an episode/video/vlog - whichever! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!
