It’s great watching someone that truly enjoy themselves

[@hugorune766]

It is amazing that you can find spare parts for any failure on your boat, the previous owner did well for you.

[@bootybandy]

The chocolate Croissant is called a Pain au Chocolat. Absolutely delicious. All the breads looked fantastic.

[@MIdaffy502]

Magnus, that's a quick and easy fix your doing to the panel switch, good job troubleshooting it. Waterproofing it will be harder to archive than fixing the damaged trace. Good Luck

[@WakeforMe]

You guys did so well buying that HC sight unseen. I love the HC.

[@brianmclellan1087]

Liked your views even more because I live in downtown Puerto Vallarta. Enjoy the bay!

[@jwrappuhn71]

Good vid ya'll.

[@TheByard]

I've lived and worked in many Asian countries, forks, spoons and chopsticks are all used to eat, it's knives that are not often used at the tables. So I have great fun laying the table with just knives and forks, get my own back on them for having to use chopsticks. Though I'm a dab hand at them know. Great VLOG

[@andrewb4556]

Hi you guys Amazing! Love you're work and vlogs Australia

[@JCrook1028]

With all those spare parts onboard are you certain there not a whole new boat stashed in there somewhere too. :) Amazing.

[@LifeinaNutshell]

It really is amazing. We just keep finding stuff and then when we think we've found everything, we re-find stuff that we forgot we had! W.

if you do get way further north in the gulf , the tide change can actually be a foot high swell , really fun to watch from shore and can be increased by the wind if blowing in right direction , i did some windsurfing in san felipe , camped in my 78 vw bus which i still have , with the tide coming in and a breeze in the morning marked the beginning of the days windsurfing many times until sunset , then again the next morning it started all over on someone bellowing thru the fog of the prior nights beverages -- the tides A coming , the tides A Coming ! hmmm coffee pls i will be there in a minute

[@fxpthl]

OMG! Those burgers looked sooooo good! Nothing tastes better than Any food cook on a boat! The previous owner of your boat really did keep lots of spares/replacements on hand and thanking him like you did was spot on! Quite clever of you sir to fabricate that rubber thing too! Do you have any plans on upgrading the dinghy? Yours looks kind of tired and a bit small for the 3 of you. Wonderful editing as usual sir!

[@LifeinaNutshell]

We now have a new (second hand, 23 year old) dinghy. She'a a pearla. We don't get wet anymore.

[@fishaholiclures]

Magnus the ever resourceful Aussie McGuyver, ONYA BLOKE. If that seal was buggered on one of those millennial sailing channels they would replace the toilet or maybe even sell the boat...LOL

[@LifeinaNutshell]

Now That is funny. Cheers

[@harryweyer2174]

Ahahahahaha piss funny,makes a difference with 400,thou subs paying for up keep and chattels.Great comment.

[@ahood2959]

Happy New Year !! You are both Awesome!!

[@michaelmoney9445]

Beautiful scenery, fresh bakery stuff delivered, beer, burger, Chinese what more could I ask for. Loved the vid. Keep up the good work you two!!

[@kev8322]

I have followed you since you bought good old narrow boat Tilly........ I mean nutshell haha what a life you guys are leading brilliant stuff (before everyone bombards me Tilly was a joke!)

[@itsmedaveh5516]

I Really enjoy your channel. Thank you.

[@bajahipb5846]

That water pump is 1970' s technology. Good pump, but too old to get parts easily. When you get a chance check out Shur Flo pumps at trailer parts or chandlery. Not very expensive and you can get a repair kit for a few extra bucks. Just to have a spare on hand. Happy trails.

[@LifeinaNutshell]

Thanks for the info. Cheers

[@razzorbladz]

I wasn't hungry at the start of the vid.........thanks mate

[@wilelowman]

My god,I need you in a mad max/ water world, world.

[@clairepapadatos1116]

Hallo Magnus, Wend, and Rat! Just loving every minute of your Vlogs, even when the shit sometimes hits the fan!😊😀😁 All love, and best wishes, Claire and the girls, Berlin 😘 😘 😘 ✌ 👍 👍 👍

[@clintmullins4406]

The Pacific cruising is making Wendy look younger.

[@stotas2]

That boat keeps on giving 👍

[@rickpowell4048]

And the Beer Detection Monitor inside your Head. Never Fails.!!

[@cnc75adventures49]

I live up north in Oregon and have all my life and I’m still want more salmon great stuff 👍👍

[@MrBblhed]

Looking good, hope you have better luck with the fishing soon.

[@auto1910]

It just amazes me that the previous owners had may backup parts and components that you have needed. Were you aware ofthat before you actually boarded the boat in Panama? We just love your videos. Your narrow boat adventure also has gotten ushooked on following a number of UK Canal vlogs. We love your spirit of adventure.

[@LifeinaNutshell]

We bought the boat 'sight unseen'. We had no idea what condition she was in and what was onboard. Just took a gamble. Cheers

[@greggobleman270]

Magnus, when you installed the new pump. It looked like one of the water connections is dripping in the video.

[@MattSmith-hp3cj]

Greetings from North Pole,Alaska it's -15 below zero. Nutshell come on up, it's colder than a well diggers arse. LoL👍😂☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Maddie-Girl]

You know I’ve never seen a water pump like that until a week ago I just bought a 1984 union cutter and it has identical water pump for pressure system I believe HC and UC where built by same guys anyways great video

[@garrystacey7018]

Great video loving the housekeeping 🤗👍🏻🍔

[@thecanucklehead7351]

Livin large - thanks for sharing guys

[@waynemazan7485]

Great repair jobs thanks... medium rare for me ;-)

[@katerh3198]

Have you ever done a tour of Nutshell? I seem to remember seeing an engine area and many other boat cavities a lot, but can't remember a full inside tour. :)

[@LifeinaNutshell]

We will do a full tour soon.

[@geoffupton]

bril vid as per usual 😊 nice fix on the pump! 😊

[@normanboyes4983]

Great episode but no beer review.?😀⛵️

[@diannefarrell7715]

Have you thought about a 'bbq saver' they sit on the bbq plate . May be a light weight solution to a flatplate.

[@blueboats7530]

North Pacific salmon is without peer, but if you plan on catching your own then you will need a lot of planning and new skills, it doesn't work the same way as the pelagic predators such as MahiMahi or tuna.

[@timharrison9060]

Wendy said....new to the cruising life? I'm confused.... be safe Tim and Cat

[@LifeinaNutshell]

We are new kids on the block. We have only been cruising a year or so.

[@FrazzledPup]

Burgers and bread looked great, but how was the Chinese?

[@flamenco1961]

15:58 Mexican photobomb

[@LifeinaNutshell]

We never noticed that. Cheers

[@sylvano44]

Security concerned would you be able to do the same kind of trip around australia?

[@LifeinaNutshell]

I don't understand what you mean about security. We will be sailing around Australia one day. Cheers

[@stewart51able]

Are you going to run into cold weather soon or are you stopping somewhere for a while ?

[@LifeinaNutshell]

We've hit cold weather now. Its so cold here. We miss the warmth already. Summer is coming.

[@bren106]

*Chinese - food of the Gods.*

[@vanveen8472]

I love Mexican food, I see you like chinese

[@kaakeith3772]

agreed, mr slot should retire. mr phillips is nicer to work with, and mr allen better still, but he is too finiky about sizes. you should get acquainted with mr robertson! four sizes will cover most anything on the boat and like mr allen he likes to work fasteners one handed
