Gee, I'm sure I saw a jar of Vegemite in among your goodies? That makes you folks almost Ozzies! Love your boat thanks for sharing.😅😮

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Haha of course, it’s a pantry staple! Grew up on that stuff. Thank you for being here, cheers mate!

[@mv.alibiii4685]

You guys are way to young to be this cool!!! ❤ Just an old dude from Pender Harbour BC 😎👍🙃

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

haha! Awh geez thanks for the ego lift neighbor! Keep on spreadin' the good cheer ✌️

[@itscarolinemary]

Yay, so excited for a new video! ❤ Sorry to hear about that cosmetic damage and such. Thank god James is so handy! 😋

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Awe, thanks Caroline! Feels good to be sharing them again! No worries, that's the nice thing about having a 'not so fancy sailboat' - easier to shrug these things off haha And we have grand plans to rebuild our bowsprit, so this just puts the acceleration on that project

[@clunker1]

Ha, my sailboat's in Sointula! I was looking for a glimpse of it but I'm on the other side of the harbour... nice video.

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Oh no way, how cool is that?! We are frequent flyers to Sointula, lots of friends there! Do you live or just keep your boat there? What kind of boat?!

[@mpetrino7330]

Allison & James: Hi from Calgary great channel . Great rebuild on a dime looks new. Best of luck going to Alaska I'll be following . Safe sailing.

[@kevanlamb6816]

Great footage of the Northern part of BC that I never managed to explore when I had a Catalina. It wouldn't be cruising without something needing repair!! vote # 276

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Glad you're enjoying it! This is the furthest North we've taken ours as well, really looking forward to exploring the far reaching parts of this coast. Thank you so much for voting!! That really means a lot, cheers mate!

[@paullaviolette2610]

I use to always brew my own beer until I became allergic to fish.

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Awe, sad the hear fish & beer had to go at the same time!

[@jacobfirst2365]

[@lotusdolphin]

What beautiful footage! Thank you so much from out in California. Fairwinds.⛵️🍀💜🤟🏻😎🐬🇺🇸

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Thanks so much for tuning in, so glad you enjoyed it!

[@Skagitrover]

Great images! We switched to a composting head (Nature’s Head), best thing I’ve ever done. No stink, no issues and no hassles! Free’s up a lot of space too!

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Thank you! Glad to hear your happy with your Natures Head. We used one for years in our tiny home but not gonna lie we’re not sold on it 😅

[@shengdauniversity]

must agree .... james is very handy when it comes to repairs !!! 👍

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

He’s pretty darn swift at working things out, definitely well suited to boat life 👌🏽

[@lucasduncan290]

Did you guys seriously leave your shopping cart at the dock instead of returning it?

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

No, Allison actually ran the shopping cart to the store and back, would you have liked us to film that as well?! 😅

[@lucasduncan290]

@@AllisonandJamesSailing Awesome. I just got the little clip where it looked like you casted off with it still sitting there on the dock. Glad I was mistaken :)

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

@lucasduncan290 that wasn’t ours.. In some marinas you can actually leave your shopping cart, so I understand why someone might leave one… but I don’t think that’s the case in Port McNeil. Lots of assumptions are made about things that don’t get filmed!
