[@Vulcandream]

My biggest annoyance as I watch you, off-gridders, skoolies/van-life folks, world travelers, tiny house peeps and others adopting less traditional ways of living is all of the viewers that think it is their job to tell you want to do. No one else is there on a day to day basis. No one else knows all of the particulars and challenges you make. So don't let the critics get under your skin. You use your best judgement and when, on occasion you make a mistake it's your problem, not theirs. You guys rock!! I very much enjoy watching your journey. May you live in love and find peace in your own special ways.

Congratulations Anna on your graduation to the next level of learning. You have probably learned more on your sailing than 99 percent of kids your age, that is an accomplishment in it self. Great sailing to all of you. Enjoy life.

I love your videos. I use to watch the "Wynns" but to be honest one can only watch so many hours of them snorkeling. I love how you share the sailing, family time, fishing and even the chores. Happy sailing.

So, I found your channel on a Tuesday, by Sunday I had binge watched everything you had uploaded. Now for the past few months I have had to wait until Thursday every week to see what you guys have been up to. I broke my back 2005 on honeymoon in Mexico during hurricane Wilma. I regret not having an adventure before that now. I wanted to write to you Keith when you first started out and we’re facing criticisms. I’m glad I didn’t because that was in April of this year and it would have made no sense! I’m so happy you guys are happy and having the adventure of a lifetime. I wish I could do for my children what you and Rennie have done for yours Keith because they are living an incredible life. Thank you for sharing your journeys with us it’s truly the highlight of my week. Stay safe and I can’t wait until next Thursday, and congrats Anna.

You guys said that you can monitor weather out for weeks. Well I kinda do that for a living and even the most accurate weather models start to go wrong after about three days. Just FYI.

Awesome vid! Love the fishing teamwork! Congrats on graduating! This was one of my favorite Zatara episodes. I think because I place so high of value on my children it's more enjoyable for me to watch you vs other channels without children. There's a major difference between sailing for you and sailing for them. Keith, I too am a DP fan. Luckily my family likes yellow soda, so I don't have to hide my own stash! Great job on the long journey. As an airline pilot, I really love instrumentation - so it's really satisfying when you show the shots of your electronics and instrumentation! Love the Mavic shot at the end! Hey! If you have a screen recorder on your smart device (Like DU Recorder), try posting the on screen view with instrumentation for the Mavic! Check the res though,,, it might be too low to use in your vids. Not sure what resolution DU Recorder takes. Check out our latest vids if you get a chance. It would mean the world to us as your fans to see a like or comment from you! Thanks again. You guys are our favorite! ~ Josh

Been following Sailing Lavagabonde for about 4 years now and while I enjoy watching their sailing videos, it never made me think about sailing the world. Watching your vlogs has sparked my interest in following this path. Most probably because we are a family of 5 and you make it look that it's possible doing this as a family. Pretty cool.

On the bread machine. Get a converter

[@SailingZatara]

There are many things that cannot be converted due to the frequency difference; small things are fine like battery chargers, but larger things like small appliances and electric motors can’t handle the lower frequency of 50hz. Thus the reason we had to buy lots of new electronic items.

[@philipmarro6610]

There are adapters that fit your bill. Just have to look harder and they are more expensive. Look on amazon. Always better with American spec appliances

[@carbonhazard]

@@philipmarro6610 an adapter wont convert 50hz to 60hz. on the back of many power supplies, you can switch between 50 and 60hz but if there's not that switch, you either get a new power supply or (usually cheaper) get a new device / appliance. although you could get a 60hz generator and switch the system over, then you'd have to change out all the appliances that aren't compatible which wouldn't make as much sense.

[@bartwesp4303]

I grew up on a ranch just like Keith and I miss it too. I think I'm also drawn to these sailing videos because these long ocean passages are allot like ranching because you're working together with your family, you're improvising fixes for things that are broken, you're totally self sufficient, you're catching your own food, Mom is keeping everyone fed. These long voyages are not much different than working a ranch during the summer. I think that's why I like the ocean passage videos better than the destination videos; unless you're exploring the Mediterranean.
