Yeah we love John and Mario. Happy that you do as well

[@TammyBillings-qt1ve]

You guys are having so much fun. What a fantastic episode, I laughed so much. Cheers

[@dk_rd3899]

This is the sweetest security briefing ever!!!!

[@hughburgess4168]

Absolutely hilarious. The guy doing the safety talk, Mario?….was brilliant! Love the mating call flag! Can’t wait to see the next episode! ⛵️

[@327Beer]

what a treat those two are , how funny it would be to sail arround the world with them - all the best to you guys !

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Kodiak576black]

James on Zingaro is by far the best sailor in my opinion and a pirate, beautiful boat

[@MattDV]

1:53 Dad said ,"Oh Cool" LMAO, Now I know where you get that from James. This episode has that He's Back! appeal. Great episode.

[@timtrinkaus7072]

What an awesome opportunity stay safe out there guys!!

[@jenrodgers]

😜 omg I loved this one 😂 they are great and with you in the mix it’s even better! Thanks for the laughs 👍🏻👍🏻

[@LaurieShannon-gr2ts]

OMG please tell me that that Mario and John will be heavily included in the upcoming passage videos. They are absolutely hilarious👏

[@thelastpirate]

Yes, we will be together for quite awhile. We are replacing the standing rigging, running rigging, and sails, then sailing to Panama together. Then we'll go through the canal with them and buddy boat for awhile. You'll get LOTS of the boys, don't worry ;)

[@rboston33]

Mario is great! Love his royal attitude.

[@davidnichols147]

Hilarious, we loved the shaved cats!

[@michaeljlove6952]

These are not shaved cats LMAO, it's a breed of cats, do some research lol 😂

[@goofy4birds]

WOW love love the Boat. So awesome of you to climb aboard and share your gift of sailing. So inspiring. Look forward to seeing some future teaching/tech videos, loved the tips on the mast shape, and praying for a wonderful and safe time for all those aboard!!! I pray oneday I will be setting sail to far away places. Such a beautiful family, thanks for sharing awesome special moments.

[@collarandhames]

It didn't take long to realize this was going to be the best sailing video of the month. AWESOME!

[@peterbailey6722]

What a caricature fantastic video cheers

[@erents1]

I’m on board, I am in the same boat. I bought a 38 foot Morgan, with no big boat sailing experience. I did some work on the engine, some minor electrical work and have been doing some day sailing and one overnighter to the Channel Islands. My question is do I replace rigging and possibly haul out to do some more extensive work? I’m hoping your video helps me decide before heading south to Costa Rica, here goes. Thanks for all you do.

[@joserecart7480]

How to Camp on a sail boat Admire the attention to all the safety gear ,you need to get the boat into a situation where all the preparation is tested,see how they react under pressure,things can change real quick and mostly will catch them off guard Cheers

[@pnjoyce1]

I know, they're prepared for anything! Gee, I wonder why they're concerned about being dismasted.

[@chrispy104k]

So funny. Mario is a natural comic. Had me in stitches with the overly "camp" repertoire.

[@Ian_Christensen]

Thats Great James. The icing on the cake when you hit Panama would be a complete human skin suit > Silence of the lamps < style made from inexperienced sailors ;-) You should make a Buffulo Bill theme video, just for the fun of it!

James, are you changing teams?

[@tammy6992]

Well, that was nice to see your dad. I just lost my dad less than 24 hours ago. Enjoy.

[@RiverWoods111]

Oh, this is going to be fun sailing with these two! I have a degree in Fashion Design that I got in San Francisco, CA in the late 80s. I would go to lunch with my gay guy friends and we would sit in a little sidewalk cafe and check out all of the "Hot" guys. They used to laugh at me because I couldn't recognize the straight ones from the gay ones. It was so much fun! To be honest, I have had so many great friends who were lesbian too. I think the Universe was preparing me for my gay daughter! Seriously though, I think the LGBTQIA+ community is so cool because they are just authentically themselves.

[@thelastpirate]

What a great comment. Much love from Takitimu!

I think somebody must be feeding those Morro Bay seagulls lasagna or enchiladas. We parked our white Honda van near the rock in a line of about 40 cars. On top was a black Tule container. We suspect the seagulls thought it looked too much like a sea lion sitting on white rock (theirs). In less than 40 minutes they hit us so hard we spent $14 at the DIY car wash just to get enough off to drive. Not one of the other vehicles was hit. I like the bootie shorts flag. Clear communication is an important part of sailing.

Redundancy is very important with sailing and having an HF radio is just another form of redundancy. HF radio isn't relying on any corporation to maintain and operate equipment. HF radio use has declined over the past two decades but it is not obsolete. It's just one more tool that could possibly save your life.
