Paradise Falls has a new addition - their new car! Watch as Davis and Rob travel to pickup our new tender (a Highfield CL 360 with FCT console) and get her into the water. This is a MUST for any sailing catamaran. Rob demonstrates a Brummel Splice and we show off our new and improved davit system.

It is great to see you releasing regular videos ahead of your targeted time frame. I know editing is time consuming. Videos like this are very educational and love your content to date! I must say you did not seem overjoyed having to clean the hull, but then again, who enjoys that task? Lol! Highfield dingys are the way to go... top quality for sure! Lithium battery install should be coming soon and the way to go... Can't wait to see you guys set sail!

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

[@nickcooper14]

Same same tomorrrow. It’s annoying the incompetence of some countries. But that’s half the fun when your not in a hurry. Heads up you’ll kick its arse and be smiling soon🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

[@lmcnesby8085]

I am truly enjoying the content. Any plans to get scuba equipment?

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

We just purchase a five compressor two days ago! Just need to get Davis his own equipment. Rob and I have all the gear. Can’t wait! Thanks for watching!!

[@lmcnesby8085]

@@SailingParadiseFalls OH that's going to be fantastic and I am sure Davis will love it. Thanks for sharing.

You might want to get a small cutting board to use instead of the tape housing. It will come in handy other times as well.

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

I had a small piece of 2x4 for cutting, but it was inadvertently thrown away during a culling of "Stuff" from the boat. A plastic or small wood cutting board is ok, but the soft pine wood of a 2x4 helps keep knife and razor edges sharper longer. I normally have a 6 in piece in my tool kit. Thanks for the suggestion though! I used the tape as part of it is rubber plus I did not want to mar the table. Thanks for following our journey!!

[@AbNomal621]

@@SailingParadiseFalls I figured you were using the tape measure to avoid marring the table. I suggest a small cutting board as it isn’t as likely to be mistaken for remnants the throw away. It is amazing how ten you might find yourself avoiding marring a surface in land life. Thus the suggestion for a small cutting board. Best if t doesn’t match the ones food is prepped on and then you won’t worry if you use it to stub hot rope your fusing, or other functions.

[@toffee1889]

Nice, but 20 grand😮

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

Yes, but it’s our family car and we love it. We have converted several of our boat friends to upgrade it’s that good.

[@freedominsteadof1984]

Jesus, why are Dhingis so expensive?1

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

Yup! I have to say after 5 months, we do enjoy our center console dingy! It's the equivalent of our SUV :)

[@leozeek]

You should require your kids to put on their seatbelt before you put your vehicle in gear - just sayin’.

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

TOTALLY agree with you - but Mama was not in the car. Thanks for reinforcing what I always tell the boys!

[@leozeek]

@@SailingParadiseFalls I was a paramedic for many years and saw children injured & worse because their parents did not make them wear their seatbelt. Glad to hear you do!

[@dickpaterson3747]

what you need to do is to get a seat belt on that kid in the back seat

[@SailingParadiseFalls]

Yes! Mama totally agrees but the boys were alone on a boys road trip. Thanks for reinforcing that to those that need to hear it!
