LIVING ON A BOAT: I've Had ENOUGH of my Captain's BAD attitude! Plus, weekly Q&A! [NORDHAVN 43]

[@khoatran9482]

Some people in the comments are acting like they've never had a fallacy moment of irrational anger. This is a flip side of relationships. He recognized his overreaction and apologized for it. It's all about the betterment of oneself. It's awesome to see you guys got through this, no doubt from past experiences. Thanks for sharing.

[@vresor]

Good recovery, Shawn. I feel for you, brother, but you know she is right.

[@rfdinesen4027]

Shawn, wt ? Allow!?! I'm a the captain of my boat and am particular about how it's cared for but really. Elizabeth worked really hard and was very careful about protecting the boat and securing things properly. The whole point is that this is a ride. What do you want to remember from all of this. Let go a bit and enjoy the moment. Elizabeth did nothing irresponsible here but you did. I appreciate that you were both willing to share this. A life and relationship lesson.... for everyone. I love the preview "and I earn some brownie points with dino." I think dino may become a code word in your relationship. Love the Q&A.

[@jwm4436]

Hi guys- Well, I'll admitI I was a bit surprised by Shawn's reaction to your boat decorating endeavor. Not what I expected- But, I'm happy to see, and fully expected , he'd come around. Us guys sometimes forget what's important and what's trivial in this life. Elizabeth, I applaud your openness... Great episode! Thanks for sharing... Life is (still) good~

[@royby]

Don't be such a control freak Shawn. Not just about Christmas lights, your reaction to dirt in the dinghy is classic.

[@JDS11ify]

Give yourself a shake. You do not know what goes on behind the scenes and you sure think that any arbitrary decision is ... what .... acceptable!!!

[@johnparisi3192]

The decorations were great and it was a wonderful idea. I expected a sour response but it was actually, really off the charts, negative!. The ultimate solution in Washington, a Community Property State, is to paint a line down the middle of the boat, and take control of your half.

[@brettjohnson2792]

Happy wife, happy life Shawn. Words to live by. It’s not like she painted the boat red and green. Take a deep breath next time and give your lady a high five and a hug.

[@normamimosa5991]

Shawn may have been grumpy about the lights and green "santa." Disappointing after all your work and excitement; however, Elizabeth, I think you have a real gem. To fix the cut string, put all the lights back, with a nod to the green santa, takes a real man. Not many men would have the grace to do that -- and on camera too!

[@bryanbadger6841]

@ Norma Mimosa...you mean like saying "sorry." Have to disagree. "Sorry" is just a cop out. He was in full control of his criticism. He was in full control of the wire snippers. As i commented, it's up to him what his future actions are like towards her. As a male I see a bit of me being played out. With the advantage of hindsight I can see how i was responsible for a breakdown in a 23yr marriage. That's why I'm taking her side. Atb for 2021.

[@3catscarefreelife]

Shawn’s behavior looks familiar.

[@tracykohlerful]

Normal couple stuff. Elizabeth was having fun and knew Shawn was going to have an issue with ALL the decor. Nothing more than a funny prank. This would totally be me after being stuck on the boat alone in rainy Washington, bored and getting into trouble while my hubs was away. But, they worked through it, compromised, and moved on. Elizabeth, I think your decorations looks AMAZING but sad to see you were the only boat lit up! Maybe you'll inspire the other boats to decorate! Love your channel, Shawn and Elizabeth! Keep it up with all the great content and inspiration!

I'm with Shawn, I get cranky after a long flight, great kudos to Shawn for re hanging everything, great video very open and honest, it can't be plain saling every day of the week, there's bound to be a few peaks and troughs when one has a bad day, sometimes you have to bow to someone else, that's the time to go have a glass of port to enjoy together. Sometimes being stern with your other half is important.

[@iratd101]

Shawn, this is for you. Lighten up, the world doesn't rotate around you. That boat is her home also. You need to appreciate the effort and patients she exhibits to make you happy and acknowledge her need for self-expression. She deserves better, after all, she's half of the crew.

Oh come on folks. Tell me one couple who don’t have cross words over Christmas lights and decorations. It’s traditional stuff. A good demonstration of folks living close, whether in a boat or ashore. Gives your channel realism. No one believes the typical youtube couples living in perfect harmony.

There is a really valuable relationship lesson for men in this video. When your lady takes the initiative to do something for you and you think it's a really bad idea or there are issues she just didn't figure out, take a deep breath, or a walk, or whatever, remind yourself this is the woman you love and be KIND. Men supposedly have fragile egos, but women can be deeply hurt in these situations by an irritated/careless remark.

Fun Christmas lights! I’m glad Shawn came around. Sorry for your tears and all the drama. From my years of marriage, I’ve certainly learned that when my wife starts a redecorating project, it’s best if I stay out of her way! I’m not sure what would happen to me if I did what Shawn did. But it wouldn’t be good! This situation aside, it’s just amazing to me how well you both seem to do living together in such a small space.

[@chrisjohnson6765]

The comments are even more amusing than the video. Proves why reality shows are so popular...comment on situations you know little about...regarding people you know nothing about...reflected in your own failures and questionable expectations... Ive been married 32 years to someone I am still trying to deserve. Moving on a boat full time would definitely challenge us as well, and even if this situation played out in one take, each party always has some responsibility for the outcome. If nothing else, the scenario should warn people of the possibilities ahead when sharing a small space with another. No doubt it takes grownups to work through such issues.

[@InterestedAmerican]

Marriage is all about give and take. I had a friend whose wife went to stay with her sick mother for a month, and in that time he remodeled the entire kitchen, including new appliances. He did the work himself. It would have cost him $50K if he had someone as competent do it. When the wife came home, all their friends had a surprise unveiling and the wife was livid. She didn't like it at all and actually mocked the work. On face value, her reaction was totally unreasonable and over the top, but in the coming days she revealed to her husband that her mom was going to die and there was nothing that could be done. She was destroyed by that. Nothing was going to life her spirits up knowing that. And in frustration she just acted out. Yes, unreasonably to those that witnessed it, but to her, a new kitchen is the last thing she wanted compared to what she was about to lose. Things need to be seen in perspective. Did something happen during the time he was away? Was it so bad that the only thing that could settle his mind was,

[@jamesmulhern6733]

Elizabeth I loved how you decorated Freedom. He just had a bad day . everyone has them , he recovered just fine. Crusing checking out small communities and then enjoying the evening. At least you had a boat than can handle the weather and you are warm and comfy onboard. Keep cruising and thnak you for sharing.

[@georgetorassa1971]

Hey mr fixit cool your jets. My wife and I have been four season boaters longer than we’ve been married (35 yrs). What a Debbie downer you were at you wife’s gallant efforts to provide some holiday cheer for your return to the boat. I would think a return to a beautiful boat with warm loving arms and a cheery attitude to greet you would put a smile on your face and a glow in your heart. But nooooo! I quest you like it better in plasticsville. And after you rip the decorations down a mute apology to repair and relent some is so weak of an apology. You have what others dream for but seem so poor of spirit and cheer. Shit man cheer up life is wonderful if you let it. Appreciate your wife and show her you do! You didn’t even push her on the swing; are you nuts. Romance boy! The purpose of life is to nurture life. Start with those most important to you. Good luck. I’ll be watching for public displays of affection.

[@3catscarefreelife]

That was my impression too. After the way he acted when he returned from a trip, I was expecting him to be more loving afterwards but then he refused to push her on the swing. That said it all.

[@tonileance7575]

I just watched both vlogs about the lights. Elisabeth worked so hard to not only surprise Shawn but also to actually hang the lights and she was so proud that she did it by herself, to bring holiday to the boat and some happiness in the time of Covid, which is hard to come by. Shawn drained it right out of her and it was so unnecessary. I have noticed by watching these vlogs that Shawn shows little warmth and affection except for the dog. He walks ahead of Elisabeth all the time I have never seen him hold her hand or put his arm around her. She is sweet and seems like she is always trying to not piss him off and trying to do everything right on the boat. Shawn seems like a boat Nazi. Elisabeth you need to remind him that boat is half yours, and if your half wants the damn light then so be it! He came around eventually but by then the joy was gone.

[@look4terry]

Thanks again for the video. You poked Sean right in the OCD. I'm sure there was good makeup time.

I like this video a lot! It takes a break from the "always happy" illusion that is thrown around on social media. People get pissed, people can have a bad mood and people can come to their senses. That's life! keep it up!

[@JDS11ify]

Hi Shawn. I've been watching your videos on the tv for some time now but just had to go PC so I could smile with words on this one. Too bad about the differences over the decorations, but hey man, that is, sadly, a function of two great thinkers co-habitating. I'm not surprized you acquiesced in the end once over the travel blahs. If you guys did not show the bad with the idealic lifestyle, it would be fake. Good question about the engine hours. In fact, all good questions. Rebuilding the boat engine, as you said, can be done on the spot, and in the trucking industry at least is called an 'in frame'. I have just a few years big truck experience. It's not abnormal for a well looked after big truck engine to last over one million miles. From my experience, most engines have a sweet spot. Truck engines have about a 300 rpm sweet spot and probably the same with all applications. That is fuel economy and torque. You probably know that gas engines and diesels are far different cats. Over-reving a diesel often just throws fuel out the stack, clogs the rings, valves and injectors, and ... damages your pocket book. Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit and others all do have optimum rpm., mind you varying. I guess the prop is adjusted to hit that spot. Varying the engine speed avoids wearing grooves in the sleeves, same as any engine. You may have already known this, but so much for my two cents. I enjoy watching you two and envy your work on board lifestyle. I'm retired so that adds other complications, including the better half's wishes. Be safe. Hi, from one hour north of Toronto, Canada. John. BTW ... Merry Christmas to you both.

[@roch145]

Many people watch your channel because of their interest in your boat and trips around the PNW. Which I enjoy watching as well. What amazes me most is the relationship you two have. Living in a relatively small space with very little private space would stress many relationships. You two have found a way to beat that challenge. On the surface it would appear Elizabeth does much to accommodate Sean’s idiosyncrasies and OCD tendencies. But you two are obviously in love and in simpatico. Love has a way of making coping with difficult traits feasible. We all have our down days and this video shows Sean having a real cranky day. Which I’m guessing he regrets. You found ways to make amends and move forward without getting too hung up with your bump in the road. Many a couple could learn from this. It takes a lot of courage and confidence to document and broadcast a difficult moment in a relationship. But it’s insightful to see the good, the bad and the ugly and how you guys navigate a rough patch. Sean I’m sure you know just how lucky you are having Elizabeth in your life. And Elizabeth you obviously love your guy and he brings you much joy. We all learn as life goes on. You two have a very Merry Christmas and keep those lights shining throughout the holiday season.

Your still with him, huh? We have a 60' footer, my wife enjoys her decorations, and so do I, WE are a TEAM.

Everyone can be assholes sometimes, but him fixing it... that's love

[@jimrogers9253]

think you and my lovely wife of nearly 50 years share many of the same tribulations! merry Christmas to you guys. JDR

Enjoyed the video guys, I liked the trip to the island and lighthouse. Elizabeth, the decorations on the boat looked great! Obviously Shawn was cranky from his trip, give him a break, he was wrong but he came through in the end. If he gets out of hand again, just throw him overboard. LOL. You guys are great! From Toronto.
