WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO??? WHERE CAN WE GO??? ... Ep 200

[@haroldchilton609]

I am an American and with all of our faults I always know that I can come home. It shocks me that Australia makes it so hard for you!

[@TG-xo1uj]

Sorry, we have no faults in comparison to some of the other garbage out there.

[@kristinburton4953]

You can return home because your country has Rabies. Australia doesn't have Rabies. The inconvenience people go through has kept us free of certain diseases.

[@lukefiveash1427]

@@kristinburton4953 Im half aussie and half american, and I visit Oz every year for two weeks to a month. You're on some bullshit if you think rabies doesn't exist in australia.

[@silverark2693]

It's absolutely wonderful to see the joy in you guys over your baby, and also I think, relief adding to the joy by deciding to have your baby in Malaysia. Good call! Of course when you're both smiling on that couch like a couple of kids expecting Christmas tomorrow, you make me grin right along. Thanks mates. Sail on!

[@gregwelch389]

Thanks for the update, bummed me out to see your frustration and so glad you’ve figured out the best solution for your family. Can’t imagine you guys being so far from Marley for so long. ❤️

[@midwestlakelife]

I love how much both of you love Marley. Marley is your family member and that is such a precious thing. Thank you for loving Marley so much.

Stay safe you 3 and your fur baby.

[@pixelgraphica]

Good grief!!! What a mess!!! So sorry that you are having so much trouble!!!

[@krafthaus8378]

That was a long process with so many options to weigh through. But looks like you’ve made a good & sensible decision, even if it was a hard one to make. As parents of 3 (now adult) sons here in 🇨🇦, my wife & I wish you the best in the next three months. You two will make such excellent parents for that new baby!! Cheers & all the best.

[@krafthaus8378]

BTW, thanks for introducing me to the music of Anthony Lazaro at the start of you video. Very nice!

[@jamarie1972]

You both are so so strong you’ll be ok and make the right decisions even for a pair of crazy Aussies. You’ve got your family and all of us lot of followers right behind you I bet if you reached out to any of us for help there would be tons of offers ( I’m in England so not much help). You pair are fantastic soon to be 3! Take care Stay safe.

[@kristascholl8116]

Such legends, your wee one is going to love their own birth story later on in life...way to go for staying positive and perservering through the tough stuff. Can't wait for whats to come!

I got so nervous about the long trip back to Australia for your family. I am relieved to hear you’re staying put and keeping the family together. You will be great parents!

[@jcurley84]

You guys look so happy. All the best.

[@brianfourie7137]

Thanks for the update, you guys are awesome. I sense the emotion in your voices, as you'll be missing your family support. But wish you and Baba all great health and the best future going forward.

[@TheSpeedy2000]

Hate Covid, but love your decision. Keeping your sailing family together including the dog, to me would be very important. Last year I lost my wife, but my 4 kids, my 3 grandchildren, the family dog and my old mahogany sailboat, helped me to continue. Small advice, but you probably already knew; don’t follow the politicians, but your hearth. I’m sure you will be parents with a wonderful kid and wonderful life. Enjoy it to the max!

[@terencesmith4137]

Things usually work out the way they should. Good luck! Love your channel

[@williamwhaley7842]

Congratulations on the baby!

[@MrLebro11]

Malaysia is such a fantastic country to be “stuck” in. The people are so friendly and the food so good. There’s a reason why so many Aussies get their elective surgery done in Malaysia it’s because the quality of care & service is so much better. We’re still lockdown here in Victoria and things aren’t likely to change here anytime soon. Think your Plan B is B for Best. Thanks for the most recent update. Love your work. ❤️

[@ricknelson3607]

Thanks for the update. glad you have a good plan now.

[@c.wrightkunkle3681]

Great decision for a couple yowies. Sorry you had to anguish over all the various paths, but staying there makes good sense. You two are now tied for our Favorite Sailing Couple...tied with Sailing Uma. You two turners are real. Real in the way you approach life. Some of the other KZbin sailing couples are so wealthy that it’s hard to relate to them, some are such novices that their show is a comedy and some are over the top trying to be cool. You two are like the brothers and sisters we wished we had. You guys don’t try to be more than you are...so keep it up. Enjoy this prebaby time because things are about to change. Tell me about how you plan to make Nandji baby-safe...if you ever need a crew...

[@nickgarcia7110]

I am happy to see you were able to work things out I know its was a difficult decision but one that may be for the best in the long run. Here is wishing you many blessings in your life and the birth of your child.🙏

Thank you for for the current update. Bonita looks beautiful. What a terrible mess y'all had to deal with. I can only imagine the stress on you both. I'm happy knowing that you have good medical care. When do you get Marley back ? Will you give us a walk around the area you live ? How are the stores and markets ? Big hugs from Texas 💋

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

All will be revealed in the coming episodes! Cheers

You guys are a awesome couple and so blessed to have one another, Marley included.

[@realwheelman]

So glad you guys got that sorted.

[@guyhodgson5401]

Hi Guys - I have been subscribed to your channel from when you left Australia and really enjoy your videos. I am an engineer and my son was born in a small town called Miri in the West Coast of Borneo 34 years ago. Him and his wife are now due to have a child of their own in Perth WA. Our circumstances were similar to yourselves, but not as complicated.!!!!!! With some trepidation and financial costs based on the timing that my wife had to fly back to Australia, we decided to have him in Malaysia. Even then, the medical facilities in this small town were tremendous and the care was also ongoing. Bit of a problem with immigration when we left (he was about three months old) as he did not have an entry permit in his passport, which we received form the Australian Consulate post his birth. It got resolved at the airport (sanity eventually prevailed) and everything ended up extremely well. This is just a quick message to to say that I think you made the right decision based on the issues that are happening around the world at the moment and I wish you and Marli everything that you wish for your selves, All will be good and congratulations as well? Cheers Guy

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Great to hear your story! We have also heard of another couple having their child in Malaysia and having the same passport entry stamp issue! I think we will need to look into that when the time comes. We are happy and enjoying the ride. Thanks KS for sharing!

[@sawsim1083]

Both my daughters born in Singapore. Once you have birth cert need to apply for Aussie Citizenship then can get babe Aussie passport. Might have to make trip to KL Aus High Com. Probably already have this info. Good luck going forward.

Wow! What an ordinal to go through. I am happy that things are going better for the 3 (later 4) for you. My heart goes out to you both and I wish for your happiness. I didn't think that Malaysia was so helpful to outsiders. What important information that they are there for you and others. I believe this is a country I would like to visit. Good to hear they are agreeing to an Austrian citizenship. So, have you named the baby yet?

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Malaysia as a host country have been extremely sympathetic and supportive to the foreign nationals stuck. Surrounding countries tries have been not as nice that's for sure! We have some names picked out for a boy and a girl 😁

Right decision,stay together with your home.It will all work out.

[@beazleteats4031]

Thx for the update. I lived in Singapore for 5 years. We had our Aussie dog with us and it cost us more than a first class air ticket to get her back to Sydney (and that wasn't including all the vet fees and vaccinations etc). I could have saved you guys a lot of stress and heartache. Sometimes it is better to do regular "live" updates so we could all chip in help you solve problems before they arise. The healthcare in Malaysia & Singapore is on par with Oz, but it is sad that you guys couldn't get back home. But I think with hindsight, you'll both realise that you are making the right choice...imagine sailing home and something goes wrong or the baby comes early...would have been traumatic to be on the high seas a long way from medical help. At least you kid will have an awesome story to tell when they are older about where they were born!!! Good luck with everything. Australia is with you guys.

[@Gladtobeleaving]

I just happened to stumble on an episode from the zoo in Sydney, which was getting a shipment of capybarras from S. America through New Zealand. The crates used to enclose the animals were enornous, and everything the crates touched had to be decontaminated since the animals had peed. Once in Australia, they were transported, still caged, to a quarantine facility and released there without any human contact. After seeing this, your decision about Marley is spot on.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

We know of a dog that was exported to Australia. It had all the blood work done correctly and once there they realised that the dog had tick fever and they put it down. Another couple exported their cat from the Philippines and it had to spend 6 months in quarantine at $2500 a fortnight. They are serious about quarantine. If we were returning from the Pacific islands it would be a lot easier but SE Asia is really difficult.

[@Gladtobeleaving]

@@FrothLyfeSailingNandji There are a couple other YT'ers I follow who are in either Fiji or Tonga, and who aren't having much luck getting to enter either New Zealand or Australia. Of course, none of them are Australian so that makes a difference.

Episode #200. And what an episode it is! Those months, trying to find a way back to Australia, must have been very stressful for the two of you.

I love your attitudes and how well you take care of each other and make the wise decisions together. Congratulation on the baby, you two deserve it all.
