Awww I miss this!!! Leo baby sooo cute 🥰absolutely love your narration

[@SailingLuckyfish]

too kind ! what a great day out

[@timwoods603]

Thank you Stew and family. I learned something today about chocolate that i would have never guessed. Very informative and I like the off sea land tours. Look forward to more in the future.

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Great to hear Tim

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Let us know in the comments below if you enjoyed taking this "side-track" and going on a land tour with us and some direct descendants of the first chocolate masters. Outside of sailing we love sustainable organic farming practices such as this. We also love visiting places where people are trying to be as self-sufficient as possible. There is so much to see in Belize!

[@davidherholdt9579]

Question : where was this video made..?

Hi Stew and Zaya! Two things especially stood out in this wonderful video. The first is that once again you demonstrated how gifted you are in sharing the world with others, and in the process, educating. I learned things about chocolate that I never before knew-including the cacao content in different chocolate products, and that chocolate making is an art and science whose origin is much longer ago than I imagined. I love it all the more that it originated in Latin America as opposed to some Hershey or Nestle factory. ;-) Another thing that I'm especially enjoying is watching Leo take in all of the new experiences that you are offering him every day. New vistas, new tastes (I think he's going to be a lifelong chocolate lover) and new people and dialects. I think you were spot on in the video some time back when you described your and Zaya's judgement that he would get a far greater education with you on the boat, in your travels, than in a conventional setting. I'm hard pressed to think of a better environment for a young child to thrive. I don't have any kids but I have close friends who are also devoted parents. I'm aware of the fact that children's brains develop astonishingly fast during their first three years of life, and that constant stimulation and new experiences are key to their successful development. Life with you guys, on the boat, and in all of the new places, is like 100% cacao chocolate for his neurons! I loved watching in an earlier video when you put the three different kinds of fruit in front of him, identifying each, and asking him to choose what he would like. The last time you showed was pretty amazing, as he was clearly assessing and pondering the choices. Magnificent stuff. When he smacked his lips after Zaya gave him that sample of chocolate, I couldn't help but grin. God love him! In the meantime, I'll be shopping around for some cacao... :-)

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Thanks Terry, its lovely to be able to share these precious moments as Leo develops with you. Thanks for your kind comment, Stew, Zaya and Leo

[@MackyBaka000]

Your son Leo is soooo adorable! Ariun is very pretty!!!

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Thank you!! 😊

[@DowneastThunderCreations]

Wow! I absolutely loved the tour. You did a great job with this video. In fact, I wish I was there with you on that trip. I found the whole process and history of making chocolate fascinating!

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Thank you so much!

[@umvhu]

By far the most "different" sailing video I've ever seen, it was 100% fasinating

[@SailingLuckyfish]

phew!

[@johnnybarbar7435]

Wow! Thanks for taking us on this adventure. So great to see and hear this man and woman demonstrate techniques and teach their cultural history.

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes fully agree, thank you

[@scottmechanical]

🇨🇦 Your video’s are getting much better! Really enjoyed the content of this one❤️🇨🇦

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Happy to hear that!

[@paulwhite5471]

Leo is getting very big.....I will be glad when I can meet the little man!!!

[@Capitaine.Albator]

Wow! Thanks for the share. Very interesting video

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Thank you too, glad to hear you got something from it

[@rayallen1479]

That my friends, was one outstanding video! What a great presentation you folks received. Thank you for this.. Cheers from Anacortes!

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Thank you kindly

[@terrysmith1307]

Awesome vid gotta love chocolate

[@robertcole9391]

Ha ha ha! Leo now has a chocolate addiction. Whatch his reaction next time you go shopping and walk down the candy isle. Like my kids at that age, he'll go nuts. He he he! Great video guys.

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Thank you 🤗 Yes. He does and probably will too!

[@robertcole9391]

@@SailingLuckyfish Wait until next Easter and all the chocolate Easter eggs are out. :) I saw Leo's expression and reminded me of my oldest daughter at the same age. OMG! Panic on idle 13 at the grocery store. LOL.

[@Mrbullet1952]

Leo liked that chocolate hahaha

[@firstlast1047]

The lunch, all of it, looked tasty. I'm an American expat living in MX. The chocolate chicken can be turned into chicken mole, with some tweaking. Chicken mole is common in southern MX.

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Looking it up now. Thx!

[@MiQBohlin]

Aye m8’s, Tasty stuff! Yes it makes sense to share visits to the essences of locations you’re in.

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Great to hear that MiQ, thanks. KZbin is not surfacing the video to chocolate or farm tour lovers etc, which is disappointing. I'm learning that the YT algo kind of expects you to serve up videos that your existing subscribers signed up for... which doesnt encourage you to break out of your genre. Im pretty sure our followers have a healthy interest in where our food comes from and natural history etc so we will persevere! Cheers

[@paul_arthur]

I would like to see more of the history of the area's you go. Finding out more about the locals and their life and times

[@SailingLuckyfish]

@@paul_arthur Thanks very much. Thats good to hear

[@BrunoWiebelt]

very cool and informative

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Glad you liked it! thx

[@donneill7746]

Loved it, learned a lot and loved watching the look on Leo's face as he tasted the chocolate. Juan was very knowledgeable and how was the chocolate chicken. Thanks Guys

[@SailingLuckyfish]

chocolate chicken was excellent !

[@firstlast1047]

An addendum to my previous post. No two moles are the same. It's a dish that varies by the cook. Chilies, sweet and hot, indigenous to MX is the clue. I even add a little vanilla and cinnamon to mine. Cumin also

[@SailingLuckyfish]

Stop it!

[@martinc9867]

super informative ! This guy loves his work,country and culture.Nice sidekicks on the colonialists included.Great personality.(I am swiss! ; )) Best tour i have seen so far.
