Settling Back into Life Aboard in Grenada S8Ep2

[@dougfaulkner6799]

Just found your channel and had to subscribe because your meal looked exquisite. Well done young lady.

[@Funonholiday]

Thank you!

[@HarryLevinson]

Hoping you, Lindy, and Holiday are safe.

[@Funonholiday]

Thanks! We are all good. In real time, we are in Antigua with the boat hauled out. Prepping to leave it for hurricane season. Episode footage that we are going through is from January when we were in Grenada.

[@stephenkurash8799]

Hope you and Holiday are safely tucked-in somewhere in Grenada and not anywhere just north of there. Stay safe, your phantom shipmate Steve!

[@Funonholiday]

In real time we are in Antigua and hauled out prepping to leave the boat for hurricane season. The current episodes are footage from January. So, all good for now! Definitely has us being super vigilant about prepping the boat in case one comes to Antigua later though.

[@Funonholiday]

All good!

Thank you Lindy, for the cooking section. Glad that Ya'll are back.

[@Funonholiday]

Yummy for my tummy!

[@skyeyedoc]

Nice video. Sending you lucky vibes for safety and good holding. Might be a bit rough. Hope Beryl passes well north of you!!

Our Tartan 37 is SV Kathryn, a '79.

Thank you! In real time we are in Antigua, so safe from this one. The footage of this episode is from January.

You guys look like you’re having too much fun! We just bought a 1984 Tartan 37 CB currently located on Lake Champlain. We plan on sailing south this September arriving in Florida for October. Hope to sail into the Caribbean in January if all goes well. Happy sailing, Gordon 🇨🇦

[@Funonholiday]

Nice! We'll be on the look out for you. What's the name of your boat?

[@gordonroseborough8547]

@@Funonholiday The current name which is still the one when we bought her is “Escampette”. Roughly translated from French means to get away or escape. We will probably change it and will let you know if we do. Looks like some heavy weather heading your way. Stay safe! Gordon 🙏

I love your new intro ! Yeah I finally gave up and got a 4 stroke engine for the dinghy , now that they are getting lighter. Lindys boat cooking show . That's an Idea. Enjoy

[@Funonholiday]

Thanks! Yes, one of the negatives of the Portabote is the transom has a very low weight limit.

[@svsalserenity4375]

Yeah I hate heavy out boards ! I picked up a Suzuki 6hp 4 stroke . It weighs 53 lbs and has the gas tank on the top . No cans in the boat . If I’m going a long way I carry a little extra . But it has great range from the tank for 99 percent of the trips .

[@Funonholiday]

@svsalserenity4375 wow! That would work. I think my 9.8 Tohatsu weighs about the same.

[@GaryBruyere-f9b]

I like the woman in this video. Please keep her forever.

[@Funonholiday]

Hopefully she keeps me!

[@tartansailor]

Have a good season, You might want to do a quick sail south to let Beryl pass over Grenada and save you some anchoring headaches... Cheers, Richard

[@Funonholiday]

Hey Richard! In real time we are in Antigua and hauled out/hurricane ties down for the season. It is looking like a scary time down in Grenada. Hoping for the best for our all friends there.

[@dtrguy2707]

Off topic… Zach… if I might inquire, what technique do you and Lindy use to get back into the portabote? Appreciate your insight!

[@Funonholiday]

It's a little awkward, but we both do it no problem. Grab the side, kick with our feet at the same time we pull the side down, and push our upper body in with our arms. With fins, the kick jumps you up pretty easy but can do without fins. We usually land on the middle seat with our chest then squirm around until we are seated. The squirming with fins on I'm sure looks hilarious.

[@gordonroseborough8547]

Hope you guys are ok. 🙏

[@Funonholiday]

All good. In real time we are in Antigua, just hauled the boat out, and are prepping to leave it for hurricane season. The vids are footage from January currently.

[@gordonroseborough8547]

@@Funonholiday Great news! 🙏

[@RedemptionReady]

You guys OK from Beryl?

[@Funonholiday]

Yes, all good. In real time we are in Antigua with the boat hauled out. Prepping to leave it for hurricane season. The footage in the current episodes is from January when we were in Grenada.
