I truly hope you appreciate the fact she treats you like a king. Most would kill for someone like her. much love, oh yeah even your daughter is a super star. you did good old man. I can say that I am old man myself.

[@whitneylake2107]

When an episode begins with a recipe then I know I am in the right place, right time. Go, Team BASIK !

[@Twelvestonestacking]

Cruiser kids are the best! There is a unique sense of self! Goodonyas!

[@darryleldridge6464]

Teal, Great job at getting down your sailes and storing them. I hope your radar does not get banged up in the process. Your family team work Is outstanding. Now I have to wait another week before I find out who gets hurt, Thank you Emma

[@pensacolafishingfriends4219]

That was definitely a king mackerel...very good and plentifull.

[@jpmontaperto5304]

I love watching you cook! And amazed how well you guys get your work done. You make it all look so easy, but I know it is not. Great job again ❤.

[@Darryleldridge-k9t]

Your channel has excellent videos And I would just like to wish you a happy new year and a merry Christmas thank you very much

[@davidr6338]

It is always interesting to watch the crew of Basik taking care of her maintenance. It is so nice to see how Emma has become so skillfully and knowledgeable a crew member. I think the best is the smiles that are always present on all 3 of you. Safe sails and following seas from Canada.

[@geoffroberts1608]

That was actually very interesting,I really enjoyed watching. Cheers guys 👍👏🫡

[@MrFroglips69]

Groovy episode. More joys of boat life.

[@HopeOfJoe]

Soooooooooo evident that ‘team work makes the dream work.’ What’s being done to the mast? Bummer on the rain. Annnnnnd, see you next time. ✨🌊💨⛵️⚓️🏝️👙🌞✨

[@greatpix]

This is for Linh and other chefs out there, watching you cut those thin slices of lettuce I wondered if you considered getting a mandoline slicer, or didn't want one in order to save space? They're nice to have but, like using a knife, can cut you, although there are some that are safer to use than others. I got introduced to one years ago and find it a nice tool to have in the kitchen. As long as I'm talking nice cheap gadgets for the kitchen, there's this small section of chainmail looking stuff that is great for getting cast iron skillets clean without damaging the patina that a good cast iron skillet develops. The last thing is this little red and green push button thing called a 'Strawberry Stem and Leaf Remover' that makes preparing strawberries much easier. The tip opens when you press the button, press it into the top of the berry and out comes the core and leaves.

[@greatpix]

Teal, what about getting a small dehumidifier to put in the hold with damp sails or anything else prone to mold developing? You might be able to power it with a portable solar panel.

[@tlowe2502]

Well at least you've taken it all down. Thanks guys, and as usual GO COMPASS. 👍🏻💕🐾🍖

[@Jnike8715]

Great team spirit, what a nice place to tackle that project. Hopefully the mast is removed without any hiccups. There has to be more great dishes getting exposed.

[@fxpthl]

Short but sweet!

[@gtequest5058]

Hope you had a Merry Christmas and soon a Happy New year.

[@russellarendt5565]

Lucky man, beautiful, knowledgeable, crew working together..☮️♥️

[@lacfilms8345]

Lot of helicopter activity near that marina - just saying. The big 3 expensive items - Mast & sails, Motor and the electronics. Compass makes an appearance. Made my day. I luv that little furball. Cooking & not wasting the beer video with Linh. I know sorta that this video is almost 4 months behind- but thanks for the 2024 season aboard basik. Stay safe in 2025.

[@Twelvestonestacking]

Emma 1st generation cruising...wonder if she will become an adventurer in her own right! Then if she follows in her parents footprints... Boom , 2nd generation cruiser kid...WOW! That would be incredible! No pressure! ... Ha!

[@tealgoben1781]

Emma is actually a 2nd gen cruising kid. I spent a big chunk of my childhood cruising on my father's 40' Piver Victress trimaran.

[@Twelvestonestacking]

@tealgoben1781 sweeeet...WOW,!

[@jonathanbair523]

I gotta say on the fish thing.. I am kinda torn of "need to know what you are catching to make sure it is in season" and "fish = dinner who cares" One part of me who fished in rivers and lakes was always stay in season/limit so you can keep tre he population healthy and for the next generations to enjoy... Then again 1 person taking 1 fish in or out of season for dinner will not really hurt anything, but that leads two the group thinking like that and soon it is 1 million people taking 1 fish that is 1 million fishs..... I also do not know about or ever cared about how far out you need to fish to be in international waters, or other countrys laws.. Again I fished in Minnesota so in state or "border waters" of other states and Canada is what I delt with and learnt...

[@Leo-gy2jw]

All the best for the new year and thanks for your time and effort and inspiration and many you always have fair winds .

[@bubashalom8274]

Wow! Hope everything works out for you guys.

[@clarkkent772]

To ask a stupid question, why are you taking down the mast? I have watched videos of the standing rigging being replaced without mast removal.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Rigging on a cruising boat has a lifespan of about 10-12 years. Basik is 31 years old and we really do not know the age of our current rigging (probably 22-25 years old). We are taking this opportunity to drop the mast to inspect and replace all the necessary components to keep our rig safe. With it down we can upgrade the aging electrical wiring as well.

[@russgaulke1364]

Actually amazing you have never had the mast off the boat. It was time, for an inspection, if nothing else.

[@goatman3828]

How does your daughter always have perfect posture? Even carrying a fish in a bucket. I've never seen a young gal, or guy, with such posture. And have a happy New Year.🥳

[@linhgobenyt]

Lol, we have always stressed to her good posture is good for studies, health and how she feels about herself. I suppose she actually listened to us. 😊😊🎉🎉

[@kevincarey1076]

Happy New Year Basik Crew!!

[@davidlunsford4254]

Too sweet!

[@jonmccombs1711]

Good luck!

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you all I must say Emma is growing into such a wonderful young lady she is such a blessing to the family , Always in the midst of everything that’s going on and always happy to help my sound of it or by the look of it. Keep up the good work guys. Really appreciate you all Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia. I’m one of the big island❤❤❤

[@jerrybarrett6376]

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Take a much needed break. Then show time in the vessel. God bless, 🐻

[@robertlemoine3500]

Thankyou 😊

[@billsrq1788]

Hello from Siesta Key Florida

[@gflores7018]

The food looks delicious, thanks to the beautiful chef. Thank you for the videos. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@crowdfundcrew]

Ah ha ha, Emma playing Kilroy to be in the video shots! The most important part about the fish is that it was delicious. Donate for a Dream

[@Paul.Chaffey]

Teal, one question or have I missed it. What's the problem with the mast ?

[@genewaddlerandomstuff2122]

Now, that was interesting. I figured it would take a lot to pull the mast but that was more than I expected. Thanks, as always, for sharing.

[@hookednrolling2009]

Wahoo has stripes vertical. Up and down. JT

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Love you guys! Happy Holidays & be well. ❤

[@Ghost_Recon_Actual]

Linh, after filleting that huge king mackerel, did you cut it into strips before freezing or did you cut it into sections? It has got to be ver y nice having Emma. She has become such an intelligent sailor and she researches very well. Daughters like Emma are wonderful to have. Wow, just as I"m getting into your videos, they always end when I'm getting ready for the next scene.

[@karlfair]

Nice work this week. Happy New Year!

[@jpmontaperto5304]

Your videos are top notch also! Happy 2025 to you all!

[@12345NoNamesLeft]

1:44 Lightly Fried Fish Fillets.

[@davidmartin3947]

My expertise in the subject tells me that you caught a Whatdat fish, subgenus Fnose, of the Yumyum variety. If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask, as I happen to be an expert in everything else as well.....

[@genewaddlerandomstuff2122]

😂

[@arthurcravens591]

😂😂😂

[@BigDThatsMe]

One thing I miss about Panama is the rain. I love the rain and growing up there you for sure get used to it. Living high and dry in AZ now and I miss that rain.

[@2011mendo]

Life in hurricane season.. With the Panama Canal becoming such a political hot spot, bet it was interesting being down there as Americans...sure could see the military were active.. Man the knowledge that Emma is gaining, I was lost with, "pulling the cotter pins!!" Did like hearing you say, "as per the checklist ". In real time, hopefully you had a great Christmas

[@CharlieBrown0507]

Panama has no military. It is in the constitution. What might look like military is the border guard. Nothing is going on. Stop spreading false information.

[@robinhoward9113]

Happy adventures. hope all goes well

[@Rob-r2s]

OMG, that other meal looks soo dang goood! Does Linh have a sister that cooks like that. LOL.

[@Kerry_CYWG]

The never ending project continues

[@HollywoodLights1]

Love your videos.

[@pattieh5118]

Ooooooo I hate when I’m not ready for video ends

[@daveamies5031]

I'm with you, longer video's 10 minutes is really not enough of the Basik crew 👍❤

[@leehoffman3604]

Well, I'm hungry again after watching Linh prepare the fish. I must have missed something. Why are you pulling the mast?

[@garyolivier9771]

King mackerrel

[@erikowren7894]

I heard the US is taking the canal back. Hope you guys stay safe.

[@CharlieBrown0507]

Oh please! never gonna happen.

[@erikowren7894]

@ i hope we get a good deal on Greenland at least.

[@josephbudd6685]

2025 we Will Thrive, Happy Awesome New Year🎉

[@greghilton1375]

Does Emma eat allot of Spinach? She has to get all those muscles from somewhere.

[@DanielTiffany-o8i]

Adorable

[@rayb3117]

Teal might learn more than he wanted to. Teal always gets injured. He is a lightning rod for injuries

[@greatpix]

It would be great to have you take a few minutes one episode to talk about which fish are good to eat and which aren't, and maybe talk about any difference in taste or if some are harder to prepare than other.

[@seabournewolf2298]

I had a front row seat for Operation Just cause in 89, Now yaw get a front row seat for Operation Just Because

[@Tjalie-j6i]

Which crew member ?, ahh man, those cliffhangers !

[@timf6916]

Nice job. Way too short. Hehehe

[@seancasey2444]

What's with all the military helicopters.

[@charleshuguley9323]

I'm surprised by how many people go barefoot on boats. In my sailing days, I quickly found that anytime I didn't wear shoes I inevitably stubbed my toe on a piece of deck hardware. I suppose I'm less aware of my surroundings than others are.

[@bubashalom8274]

lol

[@seancasey2444]

It was a king Makeral not a Wahoo

[@paulklebaum1682]

👍👍🥳

[@Thealder07]

Mast having an upgrade?

[@tealgoben1781]

Basik is long overdue for the standing rigging inspection and replacement.

[@genewaddlerandomstuff2122]

Okay, I couldn't stand it anymore seeing the comment count at 99. So here's one to make it 100. 🙂

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks for looking out for us, Gene!

[@dougklettke8833]

🍾😊🍾

[@iwmatthews100]

Definitely not a Wahoo

[@Naturalook]

You guy's desperately need a fish-net~!!!!!! How you landed that fish was sheer luck.

[@rstoneburn]

Im sure they have a gaff but didnt need it for this fish. I prefer going right to a bucket too if gaffing isnt needed as spines catch on a net. Going to bleed the fish out in the bucket anyway. No mess and no getting poked.

[@FeelItRising]

hot diggity

[@mickeykeymoaw]

But Why are you Removing the Mast?

[@OnboardLifestyle]

The standing rigging on a cruising boat should be replaced every 10 to 12 years. Basik is over 32 years old, so over the next few videos we will show you the process on how we inspect and replace our aging rigging components.

[@DanielTiffany-o8i]

What’s with all the sinking military helicopters 🚁.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Shelter Bay Marina is located within the decommissioned USARSO Fort Sherman that is now active with local forces.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Fish again???? lol. I don’t get why you wouldn’t raise the main and let it dry for 45 min then drop it. You guys lived in Seattle. You are always racing showers. Glad the drought is over down there.

[@SADIK19631963]

[@MarkLawrenceKiefer]

Teal hurt himself again?

[@tealgoben1781]

Wasn't me! 🤫

[@codegame027]

This is like 6 months ago! ... at least.

[@arnoldjohnson3317]

Did you see a China influence or participation in the Panamanian Canal when you passed thru?

[@OnboardLifestyle]

After spending over 6 months in Panama on both the Pacific coast, through the canal, and Atlantic coast. We can honestly say that we have seen absolutely zero Chinese influence.

[@arnoldjohnson3317]

@ Thank you for your response. I thought you would be a perfect person to ask.

[@benwilliams174]

Why are you taking the mast down never seen amybody take there mast down before going thru the canal 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@Matt-bj6cy]

I feel sorry for Emma, at the beginning of the video she kept trying so hard to get in the video and her mean mother just kept turning the camera away from her. Emma had to run across the boat to get in the background. Mean parents wanting all the air time and glory. LOL

[@juliazentner681]

I think momma was trying to show the sky, not hogg air time. 😅

[@tealgoben1781]

​@juliazentner681 That it exactly what was happening. Linh was spinning 360 to help tell the weather story. Emma was just having a little fun trying to stay in the frame. Nothing more, nothing less. 🎬
