Happy cruiser FAMILY OF FOUR back on the water (+Q&A)

[@BaronKreger]

"Everythings gonna be alright" way to go Dad!

[@davidh3194]

Great to have you back. Those two little ones are cuties ❤❤. Cheers!

[@SailingMerewether]

Thanks David! 🙌🏼

[@davidnichols147]

Nice job installing the old hinges on the engine hatch! Hopefully the rebuilt head is installed soon. Great episode, love the new window dressing!

[@paulgilliland2992]

Sorry about the engine . It has now become the central element of your lives. I can only hope this issue doesn’t destroy a relationship. You can always earn more money but friendships are a lot more challenging.

[@ac3446]

Goog morning Vietnam is a classic :)

[@jimdiamond8246]

Not to worry in a few months your lives will be awesome on the water again .

[@HopeOfJoe]

OMG 😱, YOU GUYS🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 The opening sequence of energy is amazing ‼️ And then the two munchkins on self-rockers is genius……and those kiddies smiles…..melts my heart. 🫠 Praying that your engine is resolved soon and you can move on. Totally love how the 4 of you are making it happen. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 See you next time. ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝️👙🌞✨

[@SailingMerewether]

Thanks legend! Love nice words like these. Really spurs us on 🙌🏼

[@ceschias3733]

Great family, and mom more gorgeous than before. OsoYolo, Antigua Guatemala.

[@petegraham1458]

The babies are adorable! I love the way you two are practicing parenthood! They are real people not fragile objects that control everything in your life and must only get processed speciality food , yes babies cry and it’s ok , and it’s ok to give them bits of real food it’s how they learn. Boats coming along nicely a lot of work but nice to see your home coming together. I feel your pain on the engine, I managed a small global enterprise and did significant engineering work on 5 continents and lived on 3 of them promised delivery is not what it is in first world countries?

[@SailingMerewether]

Thanks for the lovely comment Peter.

[@KP_1843]

Hang in there, everything's gonna be alright ☀️🌊

[@patrickjames1080]

Stay tender Captain - its not easy but they'll be on there own in a blink of an eye.

[@johnmayer3433]

You are the first guy with an electronic Windex lol.

[@AKorigami]

2:49 YES YOU ARE!

[@Greg-pc7yw]

Well done, great effort with twins! 🍺🤪

[@stevethurlow9059]

I would suggest that you replace all hoses below the waterline that are more than 10 years old

[@adamdanielson5605]

Great. Simply Great! Hope to see you all in Indo.

[@AKorigami]

7:55 Excellant album!

[@geofflewis8599]

Sounds like the mechanic is taking you for a ride..

[@geofflewis8599]

In New Zealand, the name 'Blue' is used for dogs, and boys/men with very red hair!

[@ScotChef]

they where crepes and nice looking ones too american pancakes totally different recipe. 👌🏻

[@johnkelly7264]

A perfect combo.. Swedish pancakes and the BEST spread.. Vegemite! I tried to make Swedish pancakes, but they were a failure. How about a recipe... Now there is an idea, Merewether recipes..

[@robinfulton9057]

I hope you get your engine together soon. I’m not getting a good vibe on your mechanic though.

[@elizaandalisa]

Agree a year he's had it timeframe to long cheers Marty Australia

[@RobertCarey-s6r]

He says: You’re looking pretty today darling. She says: Aren’t I always looking pretty!😂😂😂

[@tawharanui5011]

Cool as! 😊😊😊😊

[@RB9522]

I can't believe he gave you the engine back without having the head in place and fully tested. I wouldn't have accepted it. Good luck it still might work out.

[@SailingMerewether]

Welcome to our struggle haha

[@ainord1]

Other sailing channels have tried to sail to Sri Lanka unsuccessfully. They all end up motoring for huge distances and needed to carry huge amounts of deck mounted fuel. It's also complicated getting entry into Sri Lanka from what I recall.

[@BulletproofPastor]

Our 4 children were all weaned at "first chomp."

[@familyupgrade]

You can not introduce anything allerogenic early to get rid of it. Its not how it works. You can, however, induce it by (over)consuming. Better to check your fam to see what to avoid. Good luck! /Catta

[@cestusfr]

3m uv window film are efficient. they have films that cut solar heat by 59%

[@AustinBoil]

Pro Tip: Pancakes 2 minutes per side & perfect. 1/4 cup of batter per cake.

[@ScotChef]

depends on pan size, thickness of said pan and heat level, so nope not a pro tip. 👍🏻lol

[@AustinBoil]

@@ScotChef OMG really? 1/4 cup of mix makes approximately a 6" diameter pancake. If you don't have a pan that it can fit in, then you obviously don't cook much. How about a 3.175mm thick pan on Medium heat. Does that help? It's not rocket science, it's a freakin pancake. Yes, I am a Pro.

[@agip1787]

Get a tint with a UV protection....its better ....

[@dennispatrick4999]

You will soon need to strap down the kids' bouncing seats.

[@californiakayaker]

Seems like Lanakowi (sp?) was a very special Island. Isn't that the one with no tax for imports ? Apparently Mentawai Islands have their pricey places also.

[@SailingMerewether]

Langkawi indeed is tax free but we shouldnt need to buy much after this boat is 100%

[@13souldigger]

Be careful with the mechanic. Before you pay, at least do a compression test. Better yet, a pressure loss test. And check whether the oil pressure is within the specifications. I wouldn't trust the mechanic anymore. I wish you all the best.😎

[@SailingMerewether]

Great advice! Many thanks

[@Captainsquid77]

Just out of curiosity. Have you guys considered downloading the sea people app? I've been watching sailing La vagabond and honestly I downloaded it a while ago. It's quite awesome!!

[@SailingMerewether]

We’re already onto it. Absolutely love it!

[@claverton]

I see you're using a little Eyoyo display. Are you using open source stuff to feed it data?

[@SailingMerewether]

All the systems are quite new to us. We shall starting trying to figure it all out

[@AlsinoFerreira]

😎🥳🍻🎂🍪🍧🍰🎈

[@owlerOR]

Whats wrong with your engine ?? Answer.....you need a new one..................No not a new engine but a new mechanic.

[@mikeherbert7664]

This boat does not look safe for two babies & the vessel doesn’t look very seaworthy to me

[@sengalsolutions7386]

As someone who knows a bit about old diesels..... you've been led up the garden path mate. "Tolerances"? Mate, those old things use tolerances set with your fingernail. I'm sorry.

[@Rainmakerlm]

2 babies on a boat sounds like the most miserable thing you could possibly do with two infants. Stay close to shore you will need access to doctors at all times of the day or night. This is honestly so irresponsible I can’t begin to tell you how I really feel about this. All about the clicks. Let’s be the first youtube assholes with two babies on a boat. I pray they stay healthy and do not need urgent medical care while their parents are trying to become youtube stars.

[@PerthHunter]

Get a grip. What a horrible thing to come here and say to two parents who are doing their best. Kids are resilient. No captain would willingly put his crew at risk, let alone two infants.

[@martijnvanbeers5036]

"the most miserable thing you could possibly do with 2 infants..". Well I think there are a few more miserable things like neglecting them, beating the shit out of them, not teaching them things they should know in life etc etc etc. Please go and pray to your miserable - non- existing god of yours and leave those people alone.

[@Rainmakerlm]

@@PerthHunter it is very irresponsible to go to sea with two infants.

[@SVNalu]

The first with two babies? Families have been sailing around the world with babies and children for decades. Feel free to disagree as much as you like, but don't forget that you feeling a certain way does not mean you know anything about life on a boat with (or without) babies. Also please consider that many, many people who live on land do not have 24/7 access to medical help or have a hospital anywhere nearby. You may have aimed your comment at a specific family, but in your ignorance (and/or entitlement) you forgot to consider the world is bigger than your direct bubble ...

[@Rainmakerlm]

@@SVNalu i meant to say first youtubers. thank you it is corrected now
