FULL BOAT TOUR! WATER DAMAGED boat now OCEAN READY! Ep 347

[@Dan-c2n1f]

GREAT TOUR!! You have earned your right to have space and some luxury, You chose wisely!

[@angelaevans8715]

7 years with a salt water shower ... you deserve all this luxury ❤ beautiful boat X

[@taumygilbert9279]

You guys🥰! I don't even miss Nandji I (like I thought I would). Nandji II is just a dream, its everything I imagine about living on a sailboat. Thank you or sharing your lives. My favorite feature? Tallulas Room 🦄

[@tarivard]

Take my advice Yosh - a vacuum cleaner is not a good idea for an anniversary gift. You’ve done an amazing job turning Nandji II into a beautiful home.

[@davidnichols147]

I have a classmate who just purchased a Tayana 47, designed by Robert Perry located in Shilshole Bay, Seattle.. She was located in the Red Sea, apparently was hit by drone fire and nearly sank. He has shipped her to the States for refit, due to arrive in New York Harbor sometime in May 2024. She was a total loss so the price was right. Beautiful boat, 38,000 displacement, a real offshore sailor he plans on circumnavigating the globe. Thanks for the tour, you have a one in a million as a Home.

[@Kevinplettenbergbay]

Wow what a difference...from faithful nandji 1.Go Nandji 2.Much Congrats ....been a long journey.Can't think of a more deserving family.Awesome

[@carltontweedle5724]

When you get round to the hard top remember rain water capture. It will save power on rainy days if you need water. Leave space under the solar so it can be cleaned. Great boat.

[@MouseToes]

Air con you ARE worthy ! I remember watching you drifting for days with issues with " old smokey" and then the JOY of getting FANG installed. Your new home is absolutely beautiful and functional.

[@drewkennewell4267]

It's such a sick boat

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

If I ever bought a boat, I would shop for Tayana, Pacific Seacraft, and Colvic boats. I want to be more comfortble at anchor than in a marina. Safe travels. ❤

[@dougsrepair1060]

You got Nanji 2 looking great.

[@dustylense]

Little Tallula growing up so fast. What a cutie!

[@mediumDave]

It really is beautifully setup - great choice of platform, and great work guys.

[@robertnixon3816]

Super good tour and a snapshot of work to be done. What a beautiful yacht! Best home/world cruiser ever! Love watching Tallula "help"! She's growing fast and in all the right ways! Great parents!

[@Gladtobeleaving]

Boy, you've got this knocked. Congratulations, and thanks for the tour!

[@dougford5691]

Beautiful boat mate.

[@Lumpschlevot]

Good to see you guys again. Stay healthy and God bless!

[@willags]

Love the boat, defo a feeling of inferiority with my 35ft 😂. Fair winds guys enjoy her

[@johnmiddleton6252]

Glad to see you got what you deserve. Beautiful yacht.

[@earthangel8730]

A much appreciated in-depth and intimate look at your beautiful home and sailing vessel, Nandji 2 💙

[@jonathanhansen-ut4gf]

I've had track decks for 49 years now. I have found that taking a hood size metal file, bending the spike tip over 90 degrees, maybe 3/8s in . Makes a great tool to remove the old black calk. Just a tip that has worked well for me

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Thanks for the tip 👌

[@simoncaselton9020]

Love those "Dame Edna" glasses Josh.

[@darrenykema979]

Awesome tour Upgrade and keep the HF radio long range safety and there are many of us on HF

[@williesful]

Beautiful upgrade guy’s, could see it when you first visited it 😊

[@lydiaajohnson]

The Tayana sounds like a good change for the family. If two people worked hard and deserved a new boat, it’s you two - +1.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Thanks 🥰

[@calmauric8218]

Yosh. Many stock wiring harnesses use plain copper wire... and where they shrink wrap the connections are usually prone to moisture build up. My advice is to have a good look behind the big 12 pin plug, i bet you will find something. (Yanmar might have more or less pins on the main harness)

[@pamelarw58]

Great tour! Take care & very happy sailing!! ❤

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

encapsulated for the win

[@lynetteaustin]

Keep the microwave in case you run out of gas and you're too overwhelmed to cook on the barbeque or its raining. In 1 minute you can boil water for instant noodles, no effort. It's just such a great backup if you're sick or pressed for time.

[@leeoldershaw956]

Fix the cockpit remote windlass switch. It may save your boat someday

[@petegarcia6408]

Thanks!

[@desertdreaming]

You all are fantastic, keep it up, and glad you chose healthy options, being off shore it is not worth gambling on your health! So much positive, Love it!

[@HazelHammond1505]

What a beautiful boat. There will always be little things to fix. just like a house, or RV. You fix the big stuff. and go down the list. Y'all have done a lot already. BUT that was to be expected due to it sitting for so long out in the weather. When ya get the outside sanded and varnished and the mast taken care of the boat will be so Gorgeous out side then you can care for the little things like faucets etc. Yes I bet it would be great to have some helpers be fore you set sail across the Indian Ocean. OH that freezer is amazing. You need to keep some room so when you catch a big fish You'll have a place to put it. I'm with you Propane all the way for cooking. OH Yes get rid of the microwave Thank you for sharing a update of Nandji 2. That tub is just the right size for Tallulah.

[@PittwaterMowingAustralia]

Thanks for the tour ❤

[@moneyfornothing3264]

I have a lot to catch up on again, but couldn’t miss this! It’s beautiful like Bonita! Love the hair Josh!! ❤❤❤

[@Rayormysden]

Love you guys. 327 screws/nails 😄

[@kristaready8812]

Beautiful boat for your family 🤗💞

[@forrestwebb6182]

Thanks for the latest tour of Nandji 2! She is a beautiful vessel! I fell in love with the Hallberg Rassy 46 years ago as a crew member, and yours is similar, but I actually like the interior layout of the Tayana better, especially the aft cabin. I love that you have AC from the sun!! Keep up the good work y'all!

[@trentdelancy3130]

She's a real beauty.

[@DVolvoguy777-x7o]

Comprehensive tour! Good on ya! My fav boat is the Hunter Passage. Same kind of layout. I’d like to have a copy of your boat tho also. 42’ vs 47’ between the two. Thanks for the show me!

[@lyndeebrider2340]

You both must have to sit on your hands to stop yourself clapping!!! What a beautiful home. So happy for you all. ❤️

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

When 'Lula is big enough, she is going to love sitting in that Mermaid chair. I love watching her grow! Safe travels ❤❤

[@sebastianimages]

Yes such a happy child. (at least from what we see) lol Being raised away from the global brain poisoning, and seemingly never being subjected to/taught hate, and being accepting of everyone she meets from multiple cultures. What a glorious way to grow up!.

[@cin032264]

Thanks for the in-depth tour guys, loved it! She is a beautiful yet robust boat, perfect for your family while traveling the world!

[@williammyers6766]

The boat is beautiful. I know you have some things to do yet, but when they are done you will have a wonderful seaworthy boat.

[@doncoxe644]

Fantastic! You answered every one of my questions shortly after I thought of them. 1500 watts of solar is life-changing. 12v A/C is nice, but you'll still be making value decisions as you consider power consumption on your journeys. Good luck with the outfitting for blue water!

[@Kirkster131]

That No on the Loo fan was awesome 😂😂😂

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

😂😂

[@groverwalters6738]

She’s A Beauty!!! She should serve you well!

[@davidc6510]

Hello Legends!!!! This boat was a gem of a find from day 1 and now to see how much you have fixed her up it sure is a special cruising treat and perfect for a sailing family. A great video tour and as always, Thanks for sharing. Yew!

[@jamarie1972]

So much more space for you to fill. Really looking forward to seeing you go Ocean crossing, Pleased you’ve upgraded to Nandji 2 before going out exploring our wonderful planet. Definitely the right decision. Bonita after following you both for so many years you now look so much happier in your own body. All the very best wishes to you from us both in England. We are in the Sunny English Riviera if you venture this far North.

[@adammallerman8153]

I've sailed a couple of Tayanas - a 37 and a 42 and they were nothing like yours! Both were canoe stern for one thing and full keel. Other than the feel of the interior, if never have guessed Nanji was a Tayana. But I can see why you bought her, she's perfect for your family. The absolute ideal upgrade. May you enjoy many miles of smooth sailing, and topped up batteries!

[@beggarsbanquet3420]

Looks awesome, you guys have done well 👍🤞

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Lovely boat. I want one! I know youbintalled a washer and hydrovane so you have just about everything you need. Waiting for the IO crossing

[@TammyBillings-qt1ve]

What a stunning boat.

[@pipsqueak2009]

Lovely boat. Seems like it really does have everything you could need!

[@jefffuller6683]

Looking good Mate. Getting the girl in tip top shape.

[@richardshipston1165]

I love yosh saying needs a fan in the head and bonita shouting in the background NO ..... 😂😂😂😂

[@darrylbranthwaite3552]

excellent tour.. thanks for sharing

[@shreksswamp9001]

You two have done really well for yourselves. What a beautiful boat. Anyway, can't wait for the upcoming videos of your trip west.

[@tonnierooker5374]

Maybe it’s time for a nice her cute something that suits one very beautiful boat. 👍😂😂

[@funwins]

Did Yosh learn a new word for this one. Encapsulated 😂

[@Charlie-Oooooo]

Such a sweet little comfy home on the sea!❤ You've really made her into a beautiful lovely *home* ; *Your* home! And so glad to hear you speak of crew, as I really hope you're taking on 1 or 2 mates for the long leg of the Indian Ocean passage. Yes?

[@spinkey4842]

word of the day... "incapshewlated" haha happy for yall and nandji two.... fair winds

[@optionvillain]

What a Wonderful Beautiful Family…. Please Always be Safe at Sea with the little one and dog… Bless you Guys

[@creativecutter]

Awesome! Really nice tour.. thank you!

[@retojenal304]

Beautiful yacht, very thoughtfully designed. Thanks for the tour and detail on planned upgrades. You guys deserve her and I look forward the big upcoming adventure. Stay safe and wishing you all the best.

[@johnboyd6139]

You guys have the best boat! We love it. Future videos need more Tallulah (sp)! She adds an introspective view that is unmatched!

[@tomatobrush3283]

Great to have the hydrovane as a backup auto pilot, you should also consider a third backup auto pilot.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

We have! It’s called Tallula 😂

[@daveamies5031]

I think you got that backwards, it's great to have the auto pilot as a backup to the hydrovane, when you have both, hydrovane is always the primary, they don't use any power and they keep the boat sailing to the wind. Auto pilot is good when sailing around islands and staying in marked channels, hydrovane is better when at sea.

[@SVTrinityTube]

Looks lovely guys so much more space for your growing family x

[@nffremote]

Great tour. You can use small empty polystyrene boxes, like the ones that hold 6 stubbies, to fill space in the freezer. I have a walking freezer in my business and use empty broccoli boxes to fill space. Microwave is good to protect electronic hand held devices in thunderstorms. Portable nduction wok cooker. Safe, efficient, fast. You won't regret the purchase. Cheers Peter

[@jasonlockhart4647]

Wow, I must say that boat is absolutely perfect. I would love to have that boat. It seems like the space is wide. Open. Nice and tall for me and you have all the abilities

[@hankrichard6769]

Excellent tour. We have been watching and really waiting for this tour. We have a 49’ Pearson (SV Solution) and are getting ready to haul out and want to add the solid hand rails and dinghy davits. Could you please send or show a little more info on them.

[@Jensen_Denmark]

Such a great boat

[@deborahbaker3136]

Thank you for the fun tour! Your home Nanji 2 is just beautiful! Bonita your hair is so pretty❤

[@bencampbell2407]

Really is a great yacht ❤

[@floathi]

You guys deserve the upgrades. Looking forward to the shipyard episodes. Cheers

[@captaincope4303]

Nice to see Starlink works so well, checked it out a few months ago and nothing like a user recommendation from such nice people. Lovely boat stem to stern

[@Cptstokes]

Keep the HF and look you the cruiser nets. They can be invaluable ii TSHTF

[@ylemoine1]

Excellent tour, thank you! ❤

[@tdflowers]

Oh cool I have a Tayana 47 as well!!!

[@malcolmstephenson7886]

Hi to you all, you mentioned arriving in Richards Bay. There are game reserves about 1 to 1.5 hrs up the coast from here. Please watch the trucks which deliver coal to the coal terminal. They are really hectic on the roads. Please don't flaunt your jewelry or money as there are bad elements around. Please be vigilant at all times wherever you go. Have a great weekend. Kind regards.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Lucky we don’t have jewelry or money 👌

[@mikedeakin6842]

Great boat guys thanks for the tour. Good luck and fair sailing.

[@chrisclarke3670]

Thanks for the tour; very nice! Good luck on the upgrades before your Indian Ocean crossing.

[@PhilipTurner-cs5ok]

Have a safe trip to SA when you both ready Philip

[@californiakayaker]

What an amazing boat and you've done a substantial amount of game changing work to it. Beautiful and solid. I thought I had a huge battery bank at 1300 . 2000 would be overkill for me, although I'll soon have 1600 which is huge for me.

[@daled8221]

Like I said when you bought it, what a awesome boat!!!

[@davethompson5581]

Lovely boat!

[@petegarcia6408]

Good job with the Tiana you two! ;;)

[@beaudwayful]

Great boat tour video! Froth on!

[@mattsuser]

Awesome boat. You should think about installing softstart for the water maker motor. May be able to run without a generator then.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Great idea 💡

[@RiverWoods111]

Did you add a soft start to your A/C so you can run it off of solar/batteries? The soft start uses a lot less pull of energy to get the A/C started and running, and then the A/C once running doesn't pull as much energy anyway. That way you don't have to be at a marina to use your A/C. You will use less energy to get it started.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Ac can run from batteries

[@garywinslow2973]

I like it and I want one! Take care guys.

[@joannabrown2995]

Gorgeous, love your cabin… 🌟

[@stephanswart3981]

Love to meet on my boat in South Africa one day.

[@deerfootnz]

I am happy to see you in more of a sailing boat and less of a brick. Perry designs are still very conservative as thats the market he was catering for mostly. Just for interests sake hve alook at designers such as Joe Adams, Graham Radford, Carl Scumacher, Steve Dashew etc. much lighter boats with longer waterlines and more moderate beam look at an Adams 54 (17m), or an Oyster Lightwave 48. You can pick up a Lightwave 48 for a similar price to your boat. They are capable of 200 mile days in reasonable conditions and the low weight, low drag and small rig mean low loads on everything including the steering, autopilot & crew. Long light boats make for easier passagemaking & easier cruising. Faster means more weather windows: those 1000 mile hops now only take 5 days instead of 8. I have a Sundeer 60. Its a smaller boat than yours. I did Hobart to Fiji last year - 2550 miles in 12 ¾ days with me and two beginners aboard.

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

VERY COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mattcarroll106]

She’s a beauty.

[@johndonaldson5126]

Wow great tour. The boat is really well equipped.

[@juliazentner681]

Beautiful beautiful boat!

[@billcarpenter6009]

Excellent tour! Your hard works really shows. Cheers!

Beautiful sailboat. Just as the family -
