I'm Back- and We Need to Talk.

[@JohnWolffPortraits]

You have several thousand ‘family members’, in some sense, that have always been hoping you were ok. What a wonderful feeling to see you back with Nick and us…

[@imperfect2013]

Welcome back Terysa. Your personal well-being and your relationship with Nick is far more important than KZbin productions. Take time to ease yourself back into your sailing routine, and ENJOY.

[@UKHaiku]

Back when I used to practice martial arts our sensei told us “You can’t judge another person’s pain” - I’ve found this to be a useful touch point in my own experience with mental and physical health. Please don’t ever feel that you have to downplay how you feel, and the challenges you’ve been dealing with. {hug}

[@soggybottom3463]

You do get a "feel" for it though.

[@jamesbennett5421]

I’m glad you took the time to do what is right for you and hope you enjoy the start of your new adventure!

[@ByronWalter]

Ditto on that:) Hope the new boat is a good fit (looks fantastic). Weirdly I prefer the phone footage to the dedicated camera footage.

[@Bigfish300]

Welcome back. Nick tried his best. We all felt your pain with Seawind. We all missed you

[@bridgetworkman]

Thank you for your honesty Therysa. I feel we are honoured to have been taken into your confidence.

[@jackienation7694]

Seeing this and then Nikki and Jason’s latest it’s just so clear just how difficult it is to be so unsettled. It takes a toll. Praying for all the wonderful things for both of you!

[@georgegilbert7347]

Also Billie and Sierra have talked a bit about the unsettled time waiting for their new boat. And from Ran Sailing and MJ Sailing you can and even Sampson boat Company, you can see that folks building boats themselves need a break from the "slow process" of getting a new boat.

[@evagreenwell3610]

I am also reminded of Maya from Sailing Magic Carpet. She's mentioned a few times now how hard the rebuild of their Cape George is because it has left her little time for her creative pursuits.

[@jrp616]

We definitely missed your smiling face and are glad you're back. You're not the only one who was less than enthusiastic about the never ending boat building content. I also understand that the heat & humidity of summer in Vietnam is almost unbearable. Lets go sailing :)

[@WhatAboutTheBee]

I was fine with the boat building content at first. It was an excellent counterpoint to Tally Ho and Leo's traditional build. Yet while Leo's build continues to fascinate, I found myself not so interested in this build as the episodes continued to pile up. I'm glad I watched. I'm glad its over. Time for some adventure. Time for some sailing.

[@FeelItRising]

boat building was painful. quickly stopped watching.

[@WhatAboutTheBee]

@@FeelItRising I dutifully watched each and every episode. Perhaps not with the degree of attention one might expect. 😉

[@lancesmith7235]

We missed you. Nick kept us posted and anticipating the changes to come. We're ready to go cruising with you two again soon. Welcome home.

[@JumboShr1mp]

We miss you and glad to see you. Can’t wait to go cruising with you guy again.

[@bridgetworkman]

I enjoyed Nick's posts on the boat build and life in Vietnam. He did a great job. His enthusiasm was so genuine and so refreshing in contrast to other channels I watch where the strain of waiting for the new boat and the struggle to generate content is clearly taking its toll. I agree that towards the last few months as delivery was delayed I kept wondering how he maintained his enthusiasm. Maybe the beautiful woodwork and craftsmanship was enough. I'm really looking forward to you both being back on board and seeing the boat in all her glory.

[@melissakennedy2849]

You sold your boat and were displaced for two years! Who wouldn’t be affected? so happy for the new adventure you’re starting out on with the new boat!enjoy!

[@aliciahambly6629]

Hey Therysa, you don’t owe us any apologies or any explanations. Nevertheless I was relieved to hear you didn’t find the boat build exciting because neither did I! Very much looking forward to the next chapter of RR2 and taking us on the journey.

[@LPay-jy8mx]

Just wanting to say: TEREYSA: What a powerful gift you have given us with this video. Thank you for that, for your honesty, your vulnerability, For sharing your raw truth, and equally your gratitude for the privilege you find yourself in. Tears fell, listening to you speak. I think it's hard to overestimate the impact of the pandemic on us all, of our habit to isolate, and our difficulty finding stride since then. May the new boat be everything you dream of, and may it bring you and Nick together into the same joyful realm, where you can explore and discover the world together in this next new chapter.

[@phillipfrance8957]

I, too, got teary. We love you, and look forward to seeing you each week. Happy sailing!

[@richardwylie07]

I don't underestimate the toll that feeding a weekly content machine would take on you and your relationship. Good on you for taking time out when you felt you needed to. Wishing you and Nick all the best for what comes next.

[@bobbynaikelis9567]

I'm not sure I could take much more boat build episodes. Nick, we love you, but it's so great having Teresa back! Looking forward to seeing both of you doing what you love.

[@robswenson9598]

OMG, this!!!!

[@kmrbsc]

It is a pleasure to have you back. I agree with you regarding the build. I did check in most weeks but it really was not the content that I was interested in. I am excited to see you two as a partnership again and to be at sea!! I would bet that the vast majority of people are just happy to see you back!!

[@bearandbackagain]

Glad you’re back! Just remember that you invited us into your life - we’re the privileged ones. You don’t owe us anything. No explanation is necessary. We’re just thankful to have you back and to be able to follow you once again on your journey.

[@glenpeters955]

Stress is stress and we all suffer from life's stresses in different ways. Whatever you need to do to take care of yourself and what life throws at you is up to you ( and Nick ) Look after yourself and do whatever you need to make life good and happy for yourself. Nice to see you back on cam again. 😀

[@TheAtma50]

Welcome back Tyresa, it's lovely to see you again. I'm sorry that you felt the way you did, and I hope that is all behind you now, but incase it isn't, please look after yourself and take your time, enjoy the next few months with your new home getting to know her and put the camera away a little more often, we'll survive! Remember, quality over quantity. Stay Safe & Fair Winds!!

[@sparklepea]

Thrilled for you Therysa, I too was completely uninterested in the boat build technicalities but nevertheless enjoyed seeing the progress and glimpses of life in Vietnam. Now let’s get sailing cruising exploring and enjoying the sundowners 🎉

[@lindseyrains3724]

Therysa, Thank God you're back!!! I don't know if I could take one more episode of just looking at Nick. :) It has been a long boat build and we miss the adventures. Can't wait to see Ruby Rose 2. We love your channel and the chemistry you guys have. WELCOME HOME!!!

[@jenniferlawrence1372]

It's so good to see your sweet face again. When EVERYTHING in your environment is suddenly unfamiliar, and you are missing the most important thing to human beings--people and community--it can be emotionally devastating. You did what you needed to do, and I'm so glad your relationship was strong enough to allow you to do it. We have missed you and are looking forward to seeing you both on new adventures.

[@SirMo]

So happy to see you back Terysa!! I love the dynamic you and Nick have (you are adorable and hilarious together), and it hasn't been the same without you. Super excited for the new chapter!

[@GPSJayDog22]

We're glad all is ok and you are home with Nick. Now! Let's get the party started and show us your new boat!! I'm so excited to see her all decked out and on the water. Welcome home Terysa.

[@jimconner1028]

Glad you're okay and glad you're back. The channel isn't the same without you. You both balance each other and the channel (don't tell Nick but you are way better with the camera). Best wishes and welcome home.

[@gskii9462]

So happy to see you back in front of the camera Teresa. No need to apologize for needing to re-charge your batteries, so to speak. Looking forward to the new content on your beautiful new cat.

[@marcellacruser951]

Burnout is a real thing. I can't imagine being without my home and a firm base for that long. I'm so, so glad that you two were able to navigate that without losing hold of one another and your dream. Your man loves you, Ms Terysa. We could see that every time he spoke of you but the day he spoke of having you home... well, Nick does brusque. And Nick does technical and brainy and energetic. But we don't see tender out of him. That day, we saw tender. He's so happy to have you back and have a home together with you, on the water and adventuring again. Who knew he was a closet mush? lol I know it's been a few days since this, so I hope she's all you both ever dreamed of. Welcome home!

[@robinspat]

I think it's great he waited to go on board for you together! Sometimes we all need a break from this crazy life and it's circumstances! Glad you are back and looking forward to you all enjoying the new boat!

[@KELLSEY444]

The last two years have been a F'd-up time warp for just about everybody. Thank goodness you had a place to go and the strength of your relationship with Nick to go there and not lose any ground with him or with your sea crew. I can't imagine it has been a day-at-the-beach for either of you. I'm so glad to see your face and I anticipate seeing you in the light of Nick's eye as you sail together again (as it should be)

[@andrewruble7706]

Glad to see you on camera and back with the boat. Thanks for sharing your story. You didn't owe us anything, glad you found a way to take care of your self. Will be so happy to see you and Nick sailing again on your new home. Cheers

[@marvinadn]

You have been missed. And life is a real pain sometimes. Stress is stress, no matter where it comes from. It is great to have you back on the channel. :)

[@eschrad]

We’re so happy to have you back and for you and Nick to finally have a home again! I can only imagine how unsettling and stressful that these last few years have been. Just want to give you a hug!

[@stevenblack122]

Thanks for the update. The channel is not the same without you whether sailing, travel, construction or whatever. I often wondered how Nick survived the ordeal there. I think your decision to be home made wonderful sense. The next chapter seems to be back to what we all enjoy and is worthy of celebration for your return and for Nick’s endurance. May you both enjoy this dream!.... Lots of work, fun and experiences to have and share.

[@charlielloyd1080]

Good to see you back. I haven't bothered watching Nick going on and on about all the boring boat build technical stuff. Looking forward to being back on the water.

[@far-flung8356]

Welcome back, it's great to reconnect. Honestly, I've also found myself less immersed in the building process lately. What truly excites me is envisioning you two embarking on your dream voyage, sailing the world in that impressive vessel. The fact that this lifestyle can lead to burnout doesn't surprise me - I'm no stranger to it myself and often need to switch gears, just like you've done by returning to your Australian roots. Australia is truly an amazing country. Your candid reflections resonate with me, and this juncture feels special - a pivotal point where you're faced with a choice. These moments, when you tread the less-traveled path, are the ones I cherish most in life. So, go ahead and forge those unforgettable memories. You have my support and admiration. Much love to both of you.

[@paulkennedy477]

Bless you Terysa. That was brave of you to be so candid, I hope you heal well, and all of us out here in the Ruby Rose multiverse will be watching out for you.. xx

[@thylacine1962]

Welcome back Human. Life's gravity has taken you both to such amazing places, good & bad and your surviving it. While you breath that process is never ending. Who knows where you headed next? Good luck to you both.

[@raythompson5920]

Well, I have to say that it is amazing to see you again! Thank you for the clarity and update. I am with you, I am ready to see the purpose of the boat, Sailing, and definitrly looking forward to your travels. The great thing is that the vessel is floating and oh so close to letting loose of land. Fair Winds and Following Seas to you and Nick when you are released to start sailing again. Can't wait!!

I've lived in a van traveling Europe for two years with a husband and two dogs. It's not always easy not having a traditional home. The limbo feeling is real and needs addressed. Sharing your experience is helpful to many! Welcome back!

Well done for this post. It’s good for you and for reality to share the humanity of the pressure you are under. Nothing is more important than you, your health and good for you to take time to re-set and re-calibrate. Hugs.

[@brianvansickle5196]

stumbling across your channel during covid was an absolute life saver for me. the two of you allowed me aboard your incredible life and gave me hope for all the adventures that awaited me when life got back to normal. I am so glad you got the time you needed to heal. welcome back… and thank you for reminding me how amazing life can be.

[@archstanton9206]

Took a huge amount of courage to step up and say that...saying what you experienced and what you feel. You are one incredibly strong woman. The good thing is...that chapter is over, and the boat is ready, and so...I imagine...are you. Go live the live you have worked so hard for and waited so long for. You certainly have earned it...and thanks for sharing this with us.

[@terrychristofferson6031]

My heart is with you Terysa. I work in the medical field and I have seen this over and over again in the last 2 years. You did exactly what you needed to do. Nick is an amazing husband because he also knew what you needed. You both show the true love as a couple. Glad you are back!!

[@cthambrecht]

Welcome back. It’s good to hear you made your well being a priority. Thank you for sharing.

[@rburn99]

I'm with you on the channel content. Watching video after video of pieces of wood and plastic and being told this is this and this is that got to me too and I'm just someone viewing. I can totally see how editing the same content over and over could get to be too much. I stopped watching the channel but would check in here and there to see if it was finished and there was always just more of the same... sawdust, tape, bit and pieces. I thought, there's not going to be any surprises to see the finished boat after seeing it in every stage of development right up to setting her in the water. I'm glad to see you back and I hope you can get back into the swing and enjoy the fantastic lifestyle of cruising again. A brand new boat should help eh? hehehe Thanks for the honest chat. I'm sure it was not easy and I am glad to hear that is all it was and not something more serious. I am excited to resuming following you on your adventures again!

[@maureentweedly]

Lovely to have you back Terysa......fair winds and following seas.

[@scottkeiser8454]

I can't say enough how much we've missed seeing your lovely face in these RR2 videos. Nick has done a wonderful job being "Epic", Awesome", "Outstanding" and whatever else he kept saying during the build videos of Hulls 1 and 2 (your new home) and the build videos were interesting. I can only speak for myself, but it really is great to see you back on the screen and hopefully, the wait will be worth it. The boat really does look amazing, and it will be great to see how the transitions back to the floating lifestyle is for both of you. Welcome Back!

[@vietadvisor6781]

Welcome back and believe me you were missed. Every thing you said is completely understandable. STRESS is a bit challenging and you did the right thing in handling it. Other than putting up with Nick's operation of the camera, no apology necessary. We all love ya. Roy

[@MrJohnBos]

You and Nick remind me of my situation with my wife. She is the introverted artist and educator. I'm the flamboyant nerd with my electronics. We have had our moments, just like you, but we always came back to each other for the next chapter of our lives. I guess it works because we are happily celebrating our 48th wedding anniversary in October. If we did it all again, we wouldn't change much. Thank you Terysa for giving us an update and we all look forward to seeing you at sea aboard Ruby Rose II. Fair winds and calm seas.

It’s nice to have you back girl. It was a long build. We’ve seen every glue joint and shelf in the galley, every bulk head, water tank, water maker and light being installed and all the electrical gages. Then they sanded everything nine times and painted all of it ten times. So, let’s go sailing. I think Nick missed you. I know we did. See you next week.

Great to have you back, and no offense to Nick, but now we can look forward to your videos!!!
