So happy you guys could join us for this adventure! As I put together our video I couldn't help but smile. We've missed hanging out with you both. We're extremely grateful you were able to give us a week of your lives to help & hang through the canal. BTW - Did you get your Chambong yet? HAHA. Enjoy the snow and fast internet up North, we'll be sweatin' with 2mbps down here by the equator.

Besides "Thank you so much for sharing this exciting adventure with us," we don't know what to say about you two, other than we're so grateful for your friendship. Canal transit aside, it was really great to see you again. That many laughs are surely good for a person. Fortunately, we can watch you on KZbin every week, and feel like we're there again.😄 That's especially helpful when it's this cold.... and yes, this is the LAST winter we're not snowbirding! No Chambongs yet... gotta fix that.😘

I was wondering if you guys were staying north for the WHOLE winter. We've finally begun our own Fulltime RV Adventures and in case it makes you feel better, while northern Baja, Mexico hasn't had snow, it sure has been windy and chilly. Temps down in the 40's each night. We're gonna head on south and look for warmer weather. Thanks for sharing this great video, great job with the maps and visual aids too!

I recently listened to your podcast with Heath Padgett and realized I need to be watching many of your videos in preparation for full-time RV life! I saw the Wynn’s video previously of this epic Panama Canal shared adventure. What a wonderful opportunity! It’s fun to see how your videos of the same event differ in style and content. Very clear to see the precious friendship you all share ❤️ Thank you for all of the very helpful knowledge that you continue to share with the community through your videos. I know it is a lot of work and time. Quite the gift for us that you share so much of your experience, as you have been on the road for quite some time. Looking forward to crossing paths with you out there before too long 😍🌲🌞🌓🚌

VERY glad I did , as you did a super video of the technical end of the transit . It was very informative, easy to follow , well narrated etc. Great camera work , Loved that you showed views from both Bow and Stern . You have a new subscriber Bob from Calgary

You couldn't have picked a better channel to add to your viewing pleasure than the RV Geeks. These two lifetime collaborators are top shelf in everything they do.. Though I have been watching the Nikki & Jason's channel from way back in the early RV days and was always taken with the extent they go through to present themselves and their content in a class "A" fashion....I have to say the same for these two boys. It was only recently apparent to me that they were such good friends. Now it's easy to see why they enjoy each other's company as they do, in many ways ...charming and professional and always present informative and compelling content. Nikki is an amazing host, and I have no doubt these boys are as well. What a pleasure it is to view these two channels.....always wait in anticipation for their next renderings.

You guys are so blessed to have had this opportunity .... memories of a lifetime as they say. I've (power) boated the Snake River from Lewiston, ID to the Columbia River to the Pacific at Astoria and traversed many locks along the way, one of them with a 90 foot rise. I've also boated from Ft. Myers to Ft. Lauderdale across the Okeechobee Canal and traversed those small locks as well. Always a fun and unique experience :-) Enjoyed your perspective on this event as well .... truly a great collaboration in more ways than one :-)

Funny how some things can be so memorable, and trigger other great memories, too. You just reminded us of our only other experience with locks.... on the Volga River cruise in Russia, where we went through 17 locks, some about a 50-foot rise or fall, and some in the middle of the night. We remember waking up at 3am to the boat knocking against the walls of a lock, and looking out the window at a concrete wall for a view. LOL

LOL Oh we have been all right.... because we've been texting back and forth with them all day as we waited for Jason to work his magic on their technical difficulties. Both of these videos were supposed to go live this morning, but the gremlins attacked Jason's video in force, and he had his work cut out for him eradicating them all so we could launch! Wyynday almost came a day late this week!

Hi Kath & Anna! Thank you so much! Great to have you here with us. We are totally fascinated with narrowboats and just subscribed to your channel, too. We've learned most of what we know about them from David at Cruising the Cut, whom we're sure you know of (have you met)? We're planning to be in the U.K. this fall, and maybe we'll cross paths. It's always great to see other open family members here, and connect for real when the opportunities arise.
