Thanks for this wonderful video. I enjoyed you enjoying New York, your amazing guest and his talent and your interesting Chicken Mushroom Dish. Learned something new today. You are very sweet people!

[@SailingNohma]

So kind of you, thanks a lot!

Impressive I've watched the film twice now. I just can't get enough of NY

[@SailingNohma]

aw, thanks so much. The views were stunning indeed, we love NYC

[@HeidiandFranny]

I just love your videos! Very peaceful and just fun to watch. It is a dream of ours to anchor next to the Statue of Liberty and you did it! Those sights and sounds must have been amazing. Thanks so much for sharing :)

[@SailingNohma]

It was amazing indeed, glad you got to enjoy it through our video and hope your dream will come true soon as well.

Spectacular, just spectacular!

[@SailingNohma]

Thank you !!

[@MikeyDVC]

Very cool. That’s great you were able to enjoy nyc too

[@SailingNohma]

Thank you! We loved it a lot, one of the best experiences on the boat.

You have given you boys a gift that will stay with them for the rest of their life. We take a break during our broadcasting work, to watch your travels. It's relaxing as it is informative. I must compliment you on your composition skills as well as your narration. You have a gift for what moms can do. Just a quick question, did you have a preference of the Lagoon Vs the Privilege cat?

[@SailingNohma]

Thanks so much for your very nice words, you make my day!! We never even considered a Privilege, too expensive 🥴

[@JamiePattinson-gx6ew]

That’s what you call living 👍 great watching your sailing life 👍 just wondering what is the portable fish in the background for and is this something that your normal boat equipment couldn’t cover ? We are doing the same lifestyle shortly and we r always interested in these things 👍 cheers for the info on the lightning on a boat as well 👍 keep safe 👍🍺🍺

[@keithb2338]

I just watched this and wanted to say what a great job you did on everything! The editing was very well done, nicely paced. The cinematography was beautiful as well. I especially enjoyed the cello! I have been watching your videos for a long time now and wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your family sharing your journey with us! ❤🙏👌👏🏻👍

[@SailingNohma]

Thank you so much for your nice words!!

Great episode! I just stumbled on you site. I’m taking delivery of a new L46 next week in Annapolis. Can’t wait. I was just researching weather I could get through to the Long Island Sound from NYC with the mast and I am happy to see I can. Any tips?

[@RebelRobin501]

Nice episode. Loved to see y’all cooking. And doesn’t everything taste like chicken? I wonder what those things would taste like fried.

[@SailingNohma]

Thanks a lot, I bet they are delicious when fried.

Great videos, really interesting to see what sailing life is like. There are some parallels to ‘caravanning life’ here in Australia, lots of people doing what you guys are doing with the kids here, but in a caravan, it’s a big industry here. Out of interest, if you were contemplating doing what you guys are doing, once you have bought a boat, how would you figure out how much you would have to budget for boat maintenance? Keep up the good work! The SOPER Family 👍

[@SailingNohma]

Thanks a lot! We have had a few campers before we moved onto the boat, so much fun with the kids as well. We only camped in Europe which is probably not comparable to caravanning in Australia. On a new boat the budget for maintenance is low, I can only think of oil changes at the moment and cleaning products.

First time viewer and commentor. 2 items 1) how do you like the bifacial solar panels and how have the performed? Any idea how much power you are getting from reflected light hitting the bottom sides of the cells? Reason I ask is I see a lot of cruisers getting solar but vast majority are going with one side version even on an aft arch and given the limited amount of space available, think bifacials would do better even if they weigh more. 2) I noticed in the first episode when you bought catamaran, that technicians were draining saildrive of milky oil- so seal was damaged and salt water entered the drive. About 12 yrs ago a blog by catamaran SV Ocelot did the following with their saildrives- drilled and tapped each saildrive in the oil cavity, inserted a nipple and ran hose to a translucent oil tank (like a car engine coolant tank) high in the engine room, added 1 pint at a time marking level of each pint. By checking the level of oil in the tank they could determine if the saildrive seals were leaking before any damage occurred. Just passing along.

[@SailingNohma]

Hi Robbie, thanks a lot for watching and commenting! About the solar panels, not sure how much extra power we get from the bottom side compared to regular panels but we are very satisfied with these solar panels. They have exceeded our expectations. Great tip concerning the sail drives, but we haven't had any more issues afterwards, we believe the damage was done because the oil level was too high.

[@douglasrobbie9998]

@@SailingNohma Glad to hear saildrives are maintaining their oil. Interesting you think problem came from overfilling and perhaps increased internal pressure. If that's the case then the drilling, tapping with hose to a reservoir tank would eventually add oil to the saildrive. As far as your bifacial panels given , it seems, you one of only a few cruisers with bifacial panels- consider doing the following experiment- ....with the dinghy down and sun light is coming from the side (dinghy not blocking sunlight reflected off the water, measure the amount of watts coming in, then cover the tops of the panels with something that blocks sunlight from reaching the cells- the watts you get will be from reflected sunlight hitting the bottom of the cells. Won't be 100% accurate as some of the reflected light from uncovered panels is sunlight that first passes thru the spaces between the cells , is reflected and captured by the bottom of the cells. Might make for an interesting part of a future episode- just a thought.
