Tahiti Bound! How we hold watch, find food & see family in the middle of nowhere! [🎥43🇵🇫]

[@mikestevens2053]

The reunion with the grands brings joy to my heart! Glad the kiddos got their blueberries. Warm regards!!

[@TheBelrick]

As a young boy i remember excitingly waiting for my Grandparents to visit. No mobiles or internet so it involved waiting on the side of the road for the first sign for hours.

[@dancasey8671]

What a nice family!

[@TheSailingFamily]

You are so kind

[@lizflorom6021]

Another great episode. So fun and wish I was young again.

[@ChristySandhoff]

I loved Tahiti, but REALLY loved Bora Bora and can't wait to get back there.

[@TheSailingFamily]

We loved it too - but now we have mixed memories...

[@freedomfreedom6544]

I watch a lot of sailing channels and you guys are my favorite. If you ever need a change of scenery and sail up north to BC you are invited to my blueberry farm for an all you can eat party :)

[@TheSailingFamily]

Woah! We read that to Hale - he loved that idea! He says, "can we fly there?" Elizabeth says, "I don't think Alon knows what he's offering there - you'll eat them all!"

[@Lottiecase]

god i dont know why im tearing up seeing the boys reunite with the grandparents i guess its the time we live in now the reunion is long overdue for us all! love the videos guys cant wait for more

[@TheSailingFamily]

Aww, thanks for watching!

[@John-ps7mk]

that one transition was everything.

[@debbiecollins1154]

That was a awesome video. So sorry Elizabeth is having skin issues but hopefully it will get better soon. If I could I would send the kids blueberries and strawberries every week. So happy that the kids got to see their grandparents and I just know that everyone had an awesome week. Keep up the good job on the videos. Sending love from VA. Love watching you guy’s.❤️❤️

[@howiroll740]

Seth, don't beat yourself up about enjoying just a single beer with an awesome sunset. As a father and a grandfather, I can tell you that your responsible use of alcohol is setting a good example for your three sons that they will remember when they are of the age to drink. Children often don't remember what we tell them, but they never forget what they see us do. Thanks for another great video.

[@johnpiland8142]

Seth, I am obsessed with that hat. Absolutely killer. Great video. Love following your journey. Stay safe!

[@TheSailingFamily]

Ha. It was a great hat. Sadly it's no more. :(

Love watching your journey. As a 60yr old Samoan, born & raised in California who's never been to America Samoa is inspired through your journey has me planning to visit the South Pacific and Mother Land of my Late Parents. Thanks for the push. Cheering you on your journey. Hats off!!

[@chantalmathews56]

Have been watching Delos, Wynns, and Atticus. Can't believe I'm only now finding you guys. I Love it!! I have an 11 year old son and know what it is for me when we are able to visit our beloved Florida. I can only imagine sharing this with your children... Would love to see a tour of the boat (maybe I've missed it, have not watched all the videos yet) Just wondering how it is on the boat with space and 3 kids. And mom's need a bit of down time too. Happy Sailing. Look forward to more episodes...

[@allisonhamilton1222]

Love the video. Sweet how the boys give their grandparents leis. Can’t wait for the next episode. 💕💕💖💖

I was surprised to hear Elizabeth doesn't like sailing anymore. She has been a real trooper, right from the get go on the honeymoon cruise on the Lagoon. Love all your videos, the boys are fun to watch grow up!

[@kevincarey1076]

Great episode guys. Always a pleasure to watch your adventures from COLD/Snowy/Rainy Boston. Fair winds and following seas Archer.

Your skin problem is Sea Lice bits...they make creme to stop irritation and bit prevention....btw lived at the pass on Tikeau for a month ...1 word... AMAZING.

[@TheSailingFamily]

How interesting! We hadn't thought of that.

[@JrR-fw5ph]

Such cool video...as a grandparent it was exciting to see nana and papa seeing their grand children. Neat stuff! I wanna be one of your kids. I hope the boys realize the wonderful life experience they are having...some can only dream. On the other hand, Elizabeth looked stunning sitting there waiting for someone to take a shower...hah

You guys have really upped your game in terms of videography and storytelling. I know this is probably a year behind and I'm wondering if you've picked up some tips from René on Zatara that we know from their videos, you've spent quite a bit of time with.

[@TheSailingFamily]

They've been immensely helpful to us, coaching us along. Rene is an amazing editor!

[@aswan2140]

Loved this episode!! Thank you

Take this from an old man: Big boys miss their moms. Big boys do cry. That's love

What a beautiful resort. And Very reasonably priced!

It's a great spot. Chris built the main building himself and it's beautiful. His chef is amazing too. Everyone would love this place...

[@MrLebro11]

Seeing family & friends has become even more precious than ever before. Seeing the boys with their grandparents was both heartwarming & heartbreaking. Makes you think of all the families that are apart right now. When was this filmed? .I’ll be checking out Elizabeth’s line. Those bath suits & outfits are gorgeous. Another great vid!

Hi Seth you just have to admire the ease with which you’re talking into the camera all the time, I would say on a KiKa and Eleyna level. After 873 takes and 5478 “eh’s” I’ve just given up and finished it in post and accepted I can probably better stick to pointing the camera in the other direction 🙈

Hey Sailing Family, it's hard to be away from the ones you love. We're all experiencing that these days even when we're not on an island in the south Pacific. :D I'm grateful you have the ability to get Elizabeth home for work and health care. What a treat to have parents/grandparents be there too. There's a lot to be grateful for. I've been wondering for a while how your boat came by the name Archer. Have you already or would you share the story behind the name? Thanks!

[@tylervandemark1388]

Great episode guys. I want to do this sooooo bad! But my wife has Ulcerative Colitis and requires an infusion every 4 week to keep it under control. So until we can find some other way, I will continue to dream through channels like yours. Keep the great vids coming:)

[@TheSailingFamily]

Tyler, we are so sorry to hear that. We try to remind ourselves how lucky we are. Our health is so important. Thank you for the reminder and good luck. Please tell your wife we're thinking about her.

[@jimjefftube]

Even skin infections can be very serious. The advantage to traveling in some far away places is you do not need a Dr. to prescribe and antibiotic as sometimes they are available at your local market? I hope you Skype or zoom a picture and have a discussion with your Dr to talk about your symptoms and let them diagnose as you may need to do something as soon as you get to Tahiti? Don’t forget to discuss any known drug allergies with your healthcare professional. When I travel out of the country, I get a RX for a broad spectrum antibiotic just in case. Hope you fell better soon and be sure and take it seriously. Happy sailing and thank you for sharing your video!

[@listay1]

They carry antibiotics on board. This needed something stronger.

[@RG-wq2fm]

Just discovered your channel after watching all of the sailing doodles vids. I really like your editing style. Parent question... How do you handle the kid's emotional breakdowns in the middle of nowhere? I really love that little skiff sailboat you have. Reminds me of the one (Snark sailboat) I learned on in Westlake Village 4ft deep lake in SoCal when I was 9yr old. I look forward to more vids...

We just paused the video cause I about hacked up a lung laughing so hard about your microphone. I’ve said several times to Amber as we’ve watched...”I just don’t get why his audio is so bad when I can see in some shots that you have a dead cat on your mic!” But yah...that explains it. Respect for admitting it. Stuff that happens to the best of us. Here’s to good audio now. 🍻

[@marcoslealdev]

Hey Seth, I noticed the “portable” solar system on the trampoline. Are they easy to install? How is the setup?

[@TheSailingFamily]

It's a great set up. We have so much usable space up there, and when we need it (which was often back then as our batteries were dying) we just pull out these four house hold panels (Sunpower) and have them pre-rigged with little clips to attach them to the trampoline net. We have a single electrical line that runs to a male/female style plug in our fuel locker, connecting it to the charger and batteries. It's extremely simple and very efficient. It gets loads of sun and the panels stay cool from the air running over and under them. Great set up!

What kind of chart plotter do you have? Can it be linked to an external speaker. (In case you sleep hard)

[@TheSailingFamily]

We have a Furuno Navnet TZtouch MFD that links to the PC inside which runs Furuno TimeZero Navigation software. We have installed a wired speaker to the computer so there are no batteries or bluetooth connections to fail. The alarm is LOUD too! It's a really good set-up and would recommend it to anyone installing a new system.

Hi Did I see you in Manly, NSW Australia yesterday? Was out sailing in the afternoon and I think I saw your boat anchored near the ferry wharf. I hope you have a lovely stay in Sydney where you can trust the government owned pink mooring balls. You can also trust the government owned yellow balls in the Kuringai National Park, off broken bay/pittwater which is aprox 20Nm north of Sydney, which is a must go place for a few days or weeks. Regards Michael

[@TheSailingFamily]

Yes! But we're at anchor. :)
