This series has been fantastic. Bummer y’all had to leave the boat but better safe than sorry. Homecoming to the dogs….best thing ever. What an adventure!!

[@T-bit]

My favourite part about getting home, seeing the pets reactions ❤🙂

[@danielhaynas5723]

same..👍..made me tear up..😂😪..love dogs! good vid series!

[@T-bit]

@@danielhaynas5723 I've enjoyed this series also, what a great ending to this episode.

[@sswoodprocessing]

Wow what an adventure that you have shared with us, Steve and Michelle! Most of us will never get to experience anything like that so thank you! I bet it is so nice to be back home. Take care and have nice weekend! Steve

[@v1rotait23]

Woo hoo, Michelle and Steve , glad your both home safe and sound, and with some very interesting memories to tell the dogs! What an adventure of "breaking in" a new boat, fixing loose things and breakdowns, and navigating the bureaucracy! Thank you so much for including us all on this trip. We all managed to fit quite nicely on board! I love this little Diesel Duck, and I'm so glad you got the flying bridge version! I'm looking forward to seeing her navigating around the Canadian sounds and coastline in the future. Now, back to chainsaws, logs, precision cuts and making it up as you go along! Cheers from NZL, David. ❤🛥⚓🛂

Michelle and Steve. You guys likely know Im a regular follower. This series of episodes was an incredible adventure for you, but what a wonderful adventure and experience it turned out for me! And I want to thank you guys for that. I could write a mile of content, but I have decided to just keep it short, because I know you guys are really busy. I cant close without saying how emotionally touched I was , when you guys got home to your dogs. My dogs are my kids now, since Im now an old man of 70. Im still dealing with my "dog" tears, as I finish my comments. Please let me close by saying that Michelle and Steve are some of the coolest people on this planet. Id like to wish you both a lifetime of peace, harmony, prosperity, and happiness. More than anything, please please continue the life and experiences that you guys share with us.

[@patrickh7368]

awww….yes that hand holding leap was romantic 😍 yes you do take for a good photo 😇 that new boat does luck fabulous the more we get to see it on screen….will be great watching you’re adventures which have already started 😊

[@jamesbockenstette4332]

I love the dogs. They are precious.

[@johninalaska9563]

Hi Steve and Michy, I was so looking forward to your trip to Japan, my ship's homeport was Yokosuka and I was so looking forward to you guys visiting Japan. I love Japan, it is a beautiful country as well as the people. Taipei was another favorite place of mine. That was really nice of Michy to visit the dog at the CG station and play with it. I do hope you did some videoing in Japan and will show us at a later date. Thanks so much for taking us along on your journey home. By the way, Happy Canada.

[@richardliles4415]

I enjoyed this exciting and sometimes a bit scary adventure, but I must say what touched my heart. The most is your reunion with your puppies and the love that you have for them. Thank you for bringing us along.

[@suepeterson5675]

Michy & Steve Thank You for inviting us for this special time in your life. All are safe is the main thing. 👍👍😊

[@rascalman7]

Very enjoyable getting to share your adventures. Steve's my hero... for so many reasons. 😉Ha! He does love to tinker... and you love to build. You both are great at making a lot of work for yourselves! LOL! I'm exhausted just watching the both of you fix and build things. But hey, once in a while can't we just stop somewhere for a great meal and a drink? 🍹🙏

[@2990rick]

wow, The homecoming with the doggie's 🐶and to see Lenny, he looks 👀 really good 👍Thank the good Lord, you.Steve and the dog's all back home !!

Your love for dogs is awesome...its just me and my Bexar..lab/Pyrenees..14 this year..I love him, been my best friend for 14 years.

[@clee6746]

Great series of a thrilling adventure you posted. I had lived in HK for 14 years, Macau for 8 years and Canada for 41 years, I have also been to Taiwan and Guangzhou. When watching your series, I have more in-depth understanding of your situation and be able to enjoy the videos even more. Thanks for sharing. By the way, the boat is so beautiful ! Glad to see both you and Steve came home safely.

[@throngcleaver]

MG, this has been an amazing addition to your channel, and I can't thank you enough for sharing it with everyone. You and Steve both have hearts of gold, and your play time with Little Louie, was such a great treat for him. He'll never forget you. I think I was as thrilled to see the sails unfurl as Steve was! 💙

[@donoberley3582]

This was really enjoyable, as a dog person I cannot help but think about the time you miss out on when away from our fur kids every time we travel without them.

[@tahoeblue2491]

Love the boating adventures with Steve. Very interesting and looked stressful in that part of the world. Can’t wait for part two of your boat journey. Loved the dog reunion!

[@jimconnelly816]

This was fantastic,congratulations to you and Steve on your beautifull ship!!

[@nancybrown2700]

Michy, it is so good to see you reunited with your bestie beasties! Lenny looks so good and really happy to have you both home. Clyde seemed to not believe it was really you and not a dream! What an adventure for you and Steve with more to look forward to in the fall, on that beautiful Pelagic, but selfishly I'm glad you are back safe in your own forest with you furry family and l look forward to seeing what creative projects you tackle next.

[@michygoss7148]

Clyde has been quite happy these days, so I definitely think he missed us. He’s had an extra spring in his step on out walks, which he tolerates wondering what it is we’re doing (rather than him out on his own ‘hunting’) 😂

[@meirionevans5137]

The irony of the Sawmill Queen cutting her finger made me smile. Glad it was the only injury. The pooches obviously had a good time too, thanks for having us along on your adventure.

[@timjohnson67]

Love you both and thank you for the vids which take us along with you on your sparkling adventures. And the dogs all love you too! Best wishes from the UK.

[@danielkrieg3227]

Your fur babies sure missed you as much as you missed them and Steve yeah have a blessed July 4 th Weekend Much Love From Dan's Custom Wood Working Homestead

[@aronaeleven5574]

Another awesome adventure, hopefully captain Steve could show us more about that awesome boat, I bet it's rated for some real rugged conditions. It always tugs at my heart strings when making and leaving new little furry friends and being reignited with our little homeys when missions has been achieved, being able to capture these moments are always priceless. Thanks

[@ChrisM541]

Big thanks for taking us along, this was a hugely interesting and entertaining series. Looking forward to your next endeavour.

[@methere27]

A very strange world we live in. I've read that travelling is the highest value a person can get for the money, from learning about new people and places and the experiences one gets from it. Being somewhat homebound I appreciate doing it through you and yours.

[@DigiLab360]

So true. Travel is also the best education and a great antidote to racism and prejudice. And I do mean travel, not vacationing.

[@thinkcasting3182]

please take another trip.....that was great you guys are so fun.looking to take another one soon

[@dennishayslip4605]

My favorite parts: #1: getting to see your fur babies again; #2: thinking that your crew were saying, "See Ya - thanks for the nice boat" when you and Steve jumped overboard! LOL! So happy that y'all're finally home. Looking forward to your next video. 🙂

[@tjstrain280]

Love your video’s no matter what the content. Especially with the pups! We have two golden retrievers, they love to watch also.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏 Home sweet home. Hooray! 🙌 I'm glad that you are back at last! To be honest: Nearly your whole "boat trip" was painful to watch for me and I'm happy to see that you two stayed healthy at least (although your bank account might be very ill now). 😁 ;-) Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all involved life forms (humans and animals).

Boy Taipai wasn't playing with the two Chinese men. The pictures and video at the end on the docks was a bit much. Loved seeing your dogs. That really made my day. Animals and nature in general are so often overlooked in the Western society

Welcome home and belated happy Canada Day. So thankful that you, Steve and Ian have arrived home safely. Trusting that your finger is on the mend.

what a great lil adventure and such an amazing learning experience. it had it all.. new panoramic views, the organized chaos that is running and maintaning a small vessel, as well as international politics. I mean these last 3 videos have just opened my eyes to a world i never would have imagine existed. So glad you and your spouse made it home safely and the dogs are in high spirits. Thank you for uploading, and hopefully we get to see you finish up your mountain side cabin retreat, cause i thought you building that was pretty badass, but now that you and your hubs are also international sea matees that is also awesome.

[@TreDeuce-qw3kv]

Taiwanese Coast Guard was so polite and helpful. Wish I could say the same about the U.S. Coast Guard and Sheriff patrols on Puget Sound and the Columbia River. I solo sailed around Vancouver Island(My departure and return point was near Olympia, Washington) in a Blanchard Jr.the summer I graduated from H.S. in 1965. Never had a problem with Canadian officialdom or the U.S. Coast Guard back in that day, but things changed for the worst with the Drug Wars and 9/11. I grew up in the Okanogan Valley on an apple orchard and we spent a lot of time in B.C as my dad was a golfer of some note. To bad you had to leave the furry buddy in Taiwan. He seemed to be a keeper.

What a journey, although it seems quite hectic , learning all the rules of the sea, Mother Nature and political uncertainty, and just working with the boat and learning it’s eccentricity, it’s still a fabulous experience, you know what they say , no guts , no glory. You two have truck loads of moxie. The glory is all yours.

[@donaldnorth3714]

Loved this video so much! It’s too bad you couldn’t have taken Little Louis home with you….there’s no doubt he’ll never get the love you gave him. I’m ready to see more trips on the boat as well as trips down to the cabin on the cliff. (I’m surprised that the nosy inspector from your cabin didn’t show up on the boat)!😂
