Hey guys, sorry about the blue tinge to the video! It was not an attempt to be artistic :) We just clicked a button in KZbin by accident... which we've now unclicked so should be back to normal soon!... who knows why would anyone want a blue video?!

[@jacksonms212]

is it bad that I did not notice the blue tent ;)

[@arottie4097]

Blue is my all time Favorite color! Sooo Thank You for the Blue video!! Ha! Really enjoying your channel! Thanx for sharing.Sail on

[@arottie4097]

p.s. some body really needs to tell that blond girl you guys hung out with to CHEER UP!!! she just didn't seem too be a HAPPY Girl!? Jeeeze! Hahaha!

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Oh i know right! shes a real Gloomy Gus! :)

[@hardymills2460]

Hey kid's, love watching ya, shark and ray are both very good eating. Ya keep it up.

[@SHdrummerguy08]

Oh no, i've watched them all in one day, now I have to WAIT for new videos. I might die

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Kyle Herring many months later we have good internet and have seen this. We hope you survived! 😜

[@johncnorris]

Regardless of the direction your journey takes you I think the important thing is that you are doing it the right way. Keep posting and I'll watch!

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Thanks for the comment and for watching John :)

[@ianscott3180]

Going astern is the bane of the long keeled boat. You will find that in time you master it with burst of throttle and prop wash, remember all sailing vessels used to be like that with no thrusters.

[@TheJwd310]

All 17 in the bag... now to keep up with y’all...really do like y’all videos top notch...

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Thank you mate! Cheers for watching 😀

[@nonaparker564]

Watched it again in full colour !! You guys are really living the dream,! Can’t wait to get out there in December ! Xxx

[@bachtre]

Sharing this with my boating homies... you two are fantastic! Keep it up. I swear your channel will take off soon.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Cheers! And welcome to the team! Were still in shock at passing 2k subs. Its been great having so many awesome people tuning in. 😄

[@KK-hf4mi]

Hey you guys visiting my Island Puerto Rico !!! Enjoy !!

[@bertski60]

nice to see the M.F. bobbing out in open water again. i'm so glad i stumbled onto this channel. thanks a lot. greetings from thailand.

[@ramonsantiago9037]

We met you guys at the marina a few months ago! Actually my daughters borrowed a broom from Khiara! And we even watched how Khiara would walk about 1 and 1/2 miles to the local bakery! You guys are awesome! Great videos! Safe travels, Puerto Rico welcomes you back!

[@rundown48]

Well,,It was a very productive port of call..Made some much needed repairs and made some new friends ... you're still smiling so that's a good thing .. lol ...Cast off !! Best wishes and ... Cheers .

[@gidge34]

Just binged watch your channel and I'm so excited for things to come!

[@korgeth]

Very nice. I have gotten caught up. I am very happy to have found you guys. Very good work so far. Can't wait to see more good stuff to come.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Hi Korgeth, thanks for the comment and for watching!

[@calliecutiepie]

Finished binge watching and can't wait to see your next episode.😊

[@somadevo]

Nice discovering you....cool boat...Highest Blessings

[@cozydram1]

[@constablebentonfraser5014]

Phil Collins hahaha

[@alanduffy7993]

Simply awesome video...... great to see you are underway.

[@MichaelPaulHenderson]

And the binge watch abruptly screeches to a halt...17 episodes later. I need to get back to my work day. Oops.

[@makavelibataz5272]

Just caught up on 15 episodes an now up to date haha. Great job to you both videos were great! Bob the builder an MacGyver be jealous of your skills Adam haha

[@michaelapage3868]

Woohoo hey Lani!!! Great vids guys, love watching! Gaining more and more inspiration to join the sailing community! Keep up the great work!

[@Cameron2874]

New subscriber and enjoying your vids. Keep up the great work guys. Keep at the fishing and you will get it sorted. Put up every inch of sail, pull something apart intricate and have all the laundry out drying and guaranteed fish will be on 😂

[@recklesstim]

Once again another great video, congratulation on the 1500 subscribers!

[@romeowhiskey1146]

Jeez...a week ago the subscriber count was 497! On their way to STARDOM!

[@wilfredovargas8605]

Can’t believe I was actually there for that festival guys! I should have offered my help while you were all here on my island. If you are still here, please let me know if there is anything I can help with! I’m a pilot over in San Juan but have lots of friends in that end of the island! Keep it up and glad to see you have enjoyed Puerto Rico! Dura dura dura! Hahahaha. Cheers!

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Oh no way! such a small world! would have been great to catch up :)

[@MrMikey437]

Great videos guys. Please do one with the kiteboard. It would be so cool to see a cruiser out there with a kite riding.

[@patbanta]

Opening reminds me of The Truman Show. Great job guys.

[@dugclrk]

After reading the comments I see I'm not the only one that binged watched to the end. Saw the first ep yesterday and I think the sub count has gone up after watching each ep! Congratulations on a wonderful channel and making so many new friends. Fair winds, stay safe.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Thank you! Welcome to the team!

[@gerrycooper56]

Guys, a few of us have the same issue with prop walk - our Tayana goes to port in reverse. So, if ever in a marina and especially on the T head, always go starboard side to.

[@saschaeuler7883]

hello...just finished waching all your episodes....im loving it.By the way it is "un clavo saca otro clavo" and not " un clavo sigue a otro clavo" wich means " a nail follows another nail" lol...any how great update wish you guys more adventures and safe anchorages

[@gerrycooper56]

There’s a few of us who have beaten the same path. Our trip started in Jacksonville Florida on the 1st November 2005 and finished in Townsville at the end of October 2006. Good luck.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Thats fast!!! Great job 😀

[@jacobmorrill555]

Nice to find a sailing channel that includes actual life aboard, not just buying/refurbishing/selling/buying another boat to refurbish...repeat.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Hahahah i suspect i know who you are referring to 😉

[@rcor8645]

Different bottom types require different anchor typrs. Also, check to see if your anchor is heavy enough. There are plenty of sites which address this question. Google it. Love your vlogs.

[@davidgallagher8573]

Wow I just finished binge watching you videos and see the subs are almost at 4000 I predict if you keep up the great content you will reach 6000 subs by weeks end

[@davidgallagher8573]

Well that happened!!! Should have said 7000 or chosen the right lotto numbers.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

And now on track for 10,000 - unbelievable!

[@gerrycooper56]

Guys, wherever you can find spare gear, nuts, bolts etc buy them. After the hurricanes ripped through the Caribbean your next hardware stores are likely Grenada and Trinidad.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Hi Gerrycooper56 - thanks for the hint, we are really lucky to have a great community helping us out :)

[@HydroEel1_]

Shark and ray shiscobob pinchos super popular in pr

[@kevinsnelson2387]

It is refreshing to see ya'lls lightheartedness. I love your music choices in the videos as well. What was the song you used right at the end during the sign off? I didn't see it in the description. I would love to listen to the whole melody. Thank you for your hard work!

[@williambunting803]

Pam Ayres has an entertaining poem on solving the worlds problems. “They should have asked my ousband”.

[@traceymarshall5111]

Another great vlog, only one thing everything has a blue tinge.

[@romeowhiskey1146]

Did you start a NIGHT SAIL at 15:43 until the END of the video? LOL Dragging you say? My FIRST encounter with dragging was just north of Lady Musgrave...along the coast at Cape Capricorn. Sailing friends (much more accomplished than I) anchored fairly close into the headland and a couple hundred yards away. I decided staying in DEEPER water that would suit me just fine. The following morning I awoke to see that "my sailing friends must have moved further away from me" after I retired for the evening. Huh...why would they have moved? Just at that moment...a second vessel (BEHEMOTH) came along side with an observation: "Hey, mate...we think you've been dragging". WELL...that certainly explains THAT! My friends didn't move...I DID!!!! Yikes. So...MORE CHAIN is generally more than LESS chain. If you have a chain counter USE it. Also...my second year on the Great Barrier Reef found me UPSIZING to about a 60# anchor for my 44' cat. Good sleeping from then on. The 45# anchor that came with the boat...was kept as a spare. Smooth sailing. MFalcon BTW...Bunnings is ONLY in Oz! Drats, right? The SHOW MUST GO ON? Try this one...truly amazing performance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpOWm2mMgLSNec0&start_radio=1&list=RDXb3j6VKOZCk

[@squid0013]

Shark and sting ray are very good fare. For anchoring count 7 times the depth of the water for your scope

[@ellenmariehardin]

I think that sailing while in reverse may be contributing to you prop shaft falling out. Check this, but the pressure of the water on the shaft may be unscrewing the nut from the shaft and therefor from the motor. I sympathize with wanting the quiet, but it may be better to let the shaft turn in neutral and put up with the noise until you can afford a feathering prop. Love you videos. Your music is too loud compared to the conversation making it necessary to ride to volume. A wind sock for your mic would also be helpful. Happy sailing!

[@outdoorzfam]

Tight knit for sure sailors are

[@iainlyall6475]

you definately need to check out plumbing and hardware stores for a lot of your stuff. well, after going back and watching from the start, i guess i better subscribe. :-( :-)

[@nonaparker564]

Great video but so blue!! Xx

[@millzee60]

Late to the party. I visited eastern Australia, The Gold Coast, Airlie Beach, Whitsunday Islands and Cairns and loved it. Also went to New Zealand which was beautiful. So with all that on your doorstep I'm curious, why buy and sail in America/Bahamas? btw, I'm a pommy ginger too :)

[@966Mako]

Colin Mills, hey mate. I believe they bought the boat in the States because of the price. Even though in Australia, there are many 2nd boats to pick from. They are very expensive compared to the US & in the US the market is flooded with 2nd boats raking up storage fees.

[@peterward8349]

Fair winds gang stay safe ok

[@cheryllgoodluck3561]

binged watched love it cheers from Tassie

[@0521carlos]

Good song. I subscribe 👍👍🇵🇷

[@garyc5483]

Glad you got the charging issues fixed. Dang it girl you need to stop banging up your legs so much. Those bruises look painful.Thanks for sharing. Fair winds & regards from the UK.

[@jwwjww2041]

great work onvideo

[@greggascoigne941]

Head to Zacos Tacos and the Dinghy Dock in Culebra, great island to hang out for awhile. Cheers!!

[@MrBe787]

Its weird looking back BC. “Before Covid”. Nobody’s wearing masks, those were the days!

[@bertski60]

wow....your subs have gone up 1400 in less than a week if my fading memory serves me correctly. major congrats!! if you were a stock....i'd be buying heaps. :)

[@bertski60]

forgot to add.....that must be exciting for you 2.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Hahahahah thanks bert! We are quite shell shocked. And wayyyyyy behind on our work! Were quite disconnected out here at the moment

[@jaredcolahan759]

We haven't seen the top of the new bimini, or its shape. Just curious. I've seen several made on KZbin but yours is the only one done quick and low budget.

[@razzorbladz]

ye old admiralty anchor is my first choice,they stick in weed when sand anchors seem to drag

[@slamhead]

It could be your anchor did not drag. It could be your chain just straightened out.

[@VERTICALWisdom]

Great video - I always wonder who the 5 people are that take the time to hit the dislike button. Really, get a life. If you don't like the video move on to something you do.

[@joemadden]

Do you back down on your anchor? After I put mine out and let out enough rode, I put the boat in reverse and put 2000 RPMs on the engine. If the anchor holds I feel good about it.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

We do now! i thin we had a bit of a false sense of security with the 60lb CQR. Safe to say that is no more! now its diver in the water and full reverse whenever possible! Thanks for watching.

[@julapont]

We do eat the sharks.

[@Gr3mI1n]

Sorry, again, im in your charge controller.

[@alexander5207]

Why so blue?

[@roddnall7413]

👍

[@thatdutchguy2882]

I agree on the shark and the Ray,...but they do eat them, although shark doesn't taste nice, neither does a Ray, so they'll either make soup or fish stock out of them, keep pieces for chum or fry the bejezus out of chunck of the meat in batter and serve it as a very cheap side dish to drunk guy's. But i agree, don't fish Sharks or Rays, or Swordfish⬅although those do taste good, don't fish big Tuna either anymore, it's just not good environmental policy if you do, it's not sustainable.

[@julapont]

I have only tasted shark empanadillas. They are amazing.

[@thatdutchguy2882]

👍⛵.
