A great combination of a retrospective of your time in Columbia and the launch into the new adventure in this episode! As your videos illuminate, it’s the organic creation of new relationships that enrich our lives. Wishing everyone a safe passage.

[@rajuncajun121]

And the adventure continues to new destinations and new friends. San Andreas and the welcoming people of San Andreas made for and incredible journey during the Covid Pandemic. The SSL episodes during this time gave all of us an opportunity to escape briefly from our own confinement to experience paradise that was being shared by you and the incredible people on the island of San Andreas. I consider it an honor to have been a crew member during your last month on San Andreas and the passage to Panama. I also appreciate all the new friends I made in San Andreas the final weeks before our departure to Panama. Rick, you and Maddy are special people with huge hearts that have opened sailing up to so many people. Looking forward to our next meeting somewhere out there in another beautiful location. Sail safely my friends, Rick & Lisa

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Cheers Rick, we miss you.. but I'm sure we'll see you again! And hi to Lisa! :)

[@neilellinger6157]

You hit it on the head Rick. This has been some of the best of SSL... I have enjoyed it very much. Lucky you for actually getting to be with them physically. Thanks to Captain Rick and Maddy for sharing. I understand it's not always an easy life but you help us in the rat race more than you will ever realize.

[@troybond5426]

Man, You two are so Blessed to have found each other, and live the life you two live together. Beautiful vodeo of you two together. God Bless You and Maddy, protect you two with perfect health and many years of peace, love and joy that surpasses all undertanding and always fair winds. Much Love ♥️✝️🕊️

[@cag6825]

It was a blessing meeting you in San Andres. We hope to see you soon in your Pacific Ocean adventures! God bless

[@johnm7437]

A surreal experience. I've never even been to San Andres, but through watching your videos for more then a year, its as though I know the place. You landed in a wonderful place to wait out the pandemic. Happy Sailing.

[@zacharyschweter6466]

Rick - I'm very happy for you! and Madelina! You're a great team and fun and fun to watch! San Andreas is a second home away from home - but you will have more adventures, difficulties, issues, etc. but you're probably the best team/couple i've seen on youtube sailing channels - I only wish I had what you guys have! looking forward to more vids. - - - Rick - any plans for an internet dome like SV Delos? I wish you success and an easy passage and that that engine holds up until you get to panama to finally rebuild or replace with a Kabota !!! ....

What a great video chronicling the past year and a half in San Andres. I feel like I am part of the crew and the island. Bon Voyage

[@roberttorres809]

Back up generator is always a great thing. It doesn’t make you any less of a sailor, but a smart and live sailor that’s for sure. Remember, a hero is nothing but a sandwich!!!!!!!

[@philandlyndachristieson8808]

Start backing up everything on a boat and it sinks, even quicker if it's a cat.

[@iam57yearsold]

Sitting in my boat on Georgian Bay, just loving this episode. Been to San Andreas, loved it. Fair winds Rick, looking forward to your adventure.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Cheers!

[@sheinz6119]

I’m catching up on your adventures just before you left SAI. I couldn’t bear to watch the departure after seeing all the happiness at the wedding. Love your theme, all the high and low lights, and the best wedding! What an amazing magnetic couple you two are. Thanks for sharing all your adventures, especially all the ones on San Andres.

[@aaronp1434]

Hello from Ontario Canada, Nice to see you embark upon further adventures but also saddening to be leaving a place that welcomed you with open arms and open hearts during a most difficult time for everyone around the world. I’m happy to have followed along and through you gain a new respect for the people there! God speed and following seas, I’ll be continuing to tag along virtually.

[@Pietcoke1]

Glad you think so!

[@richb313]

Fantastic video great retrospective look back at your time in Columbia. Using the Opera to tie the elements together is inspired editing and story telling. I always knew there was a connection to Capt. Ron but I think Kurt Russel and Goldie Hawn would fit right in with your crew. Looking forward to next week.

[@peterbailey6722]

Good luck on your new adventure thank you for the last 18 months of excellent videos, all ways interesting and informative, look forward to what’s up next cheers Pete an Nuch Albany Western Australia
