You’re both so funny and genuine and have now become my most favourite sailing channel . I’ve watched every vid and will soon have caught up with the latest so please keep making more content with silliness and class. 😂(lightning comments ,bee sting ouch and goofy dance absolutely brilliant).

[@mattbeach8986]

it was great running into you all atop the lighthouse! Thanks for the shout out 😊Hope to see you all in the future in another amazing place. Safe Travels!

[@KristinasTravels]

Ohhh hey Matt! Haha so nice to meet you guys, what a place to cross paths! Hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in the Bahamas, we hope to see you guys there next season 😉🙌🏻

Cheers Nick!! Keep your comments coming!! 🥹😍🙌 So supportive, thank you!

[@lucgrenier6031]

Great episode what a dream place! Nice editing easy to follow thanks :)

[@PaulTaylor-ko8jy]

Love sail boats reminds me of my old rowboat I used to have when I was a kid used to blow it up with air and roll away to Catalina or to South Carolina reminds me of fishing in the serve for whining fish

[@KristinasTravels]

Sounds like some great childhood memories there ☺️

[@geoffstrebel2808]

@21:45 That little candle is the pilot light. Tons of gas streams into that enclosure and is ignited by the pilot light, but only at night.

[@geoffstrebel2808]

I know what the lightkeerer said, you can't just magnify a bic lighter to blast out 1,000,000 candlepower of light, miles off shore.

[@IsabelMzz]

I love your videos! The quality is amazing and it’s very interesting how you explain everything! 😍😍😍🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻✨✨✨

[@KristinasTravels]

Thank you so much for taking the time to message me this! So much love goes into each episode xx ❤️

[@kriskemp4952]

I’ve missed some episodes I think. Algo not working ? So glad I found you again. Thanks for being you!

[@KristinasTravels]

Wow this is interesting, a few people have told us this! One thing you can do to help stop that is to subscribe if you haven’t already (it’s free) and then click the little bell button on the right, it will send you a little notification each time we put a video out. Thanks for watching! 😀

[@koehl405]

I love the places you are at in this video. Please Be Safe and Thanks.

[@aldrindelacruz6198]

It's nice to see a helpful couple ❤ who just visit and pass by,.. And it is really sad to see how these people on this island had suffered from the terrible cyclone😢.. And john get stung by a bee, well i got stung too, but by a wasp, good thing is i have no reaction just a little pain behind me😂😅🤣

[@KristinasTravels]

Yeah it was very sad to hear the locals stories but they are so resilient and have been busy rebuilding. We were glad at the very least we could support their businesses in some small way. John said he deserved the bee sting! 😂 the wasp must have been painful!! 🫠🫣

[@aldrindelacruz6198]

[@stevenmanns248]

Hi guys, I have another one for you. I have a green tea bag and a peppermint tea bag together in a large mug. Big spoon of honey 😋

[@KristinasTravels]

Yumm!

[@simonrodgers9105]

Another superb video keep them coming

[@tonyw3250]

Great video, well worth all of your efforts in editing

[@KristinasTravels]

Thank you so much Tony. This means so much! Really appreciate the support and you taking a moment to give this video some love ❤️🙂 x

[@HeyMichaelLeo]

I feel like we got to see the real you...and it was wonderful, down to earth and raw footage... Great.

[@mickeyh53]

Irregardless..always lock up before you leave!!..your doing the right thing John..loving the vids it’s freezing here 2dgs in Victoria..🇦🇺

[@KristinasTravels]

John says thanks haha yep no point inviting it. Glad you are enjoying the videos ☺️

[@skillfuldabest]

Yay another video :)

[@KristinasTravels]

❤️🙌 YAY!!! Enjoy! Had fun making this one for you! 🙂

[@LoveLearningInDorset]

Thank you, I enjoyed watching your boat travels ❤ Am on our last chapter of UK land life/ child rearing before extensive Med Sail travels pursue...getting final ducks in a row. Safe travels 😊

[@KristinasTravels]

That’s so cool to hear, adventure of a lifetime coming up for you both! ☺️☺️

[@korylp6219]

That whole interaction on the deck before going to the lighthouse - I feel that 😂😂😂 in this instance, I’m John. Love the candidness and honesty! It looks beautiful there.

[@KristinasTravels]

Bahahaha!! I had hoped leaving this in would have people relating to this situation 😂😂😂 Thanks Kory 🙌 it’s so lovely! Can’t wait to show you the sink hole this weekend!

[@RNVOS]

Congratulations you two ❤ from🇨🇦

[@KristinasTravels]

Thank you so much! We can’t wait to visit your country soon ❤️❤️

[@teeoff007]

You should try Snappa's and Wally's restaurants in Marsh harbor

[@saileagleswings]

Hi I commented about visiting the lighthouse at dusk to watch the light being lit. I included a link to see photos on our blog. But the comment doesn't show up.

[@KristinasTravels]

Ohhh thanks so much we met a lighthouse keeper who told us about this! We missed doing it this time around but sounds like a very unique experience!

[@MrWitheridge]

Hiya both! Ever thought of doing arctic circle or Scandanavia later in the year and seeing the Northern Lights? Maybe food for thought :) You're very lucky to get to globe-trot as you are doing but enjoy - as always we loved the video :) Rum - you pirates lol.... enjoy!

[@KristinasTravels]

Ohh yes this is a dream for John and I definitely on the bucket list 😉

[@rboston33]

I think it's called a Fresnell lens. Great video, thanks!

[@joselazarofernandes2217]

I LOVE YOUR VLOG, BECAUSE DONT IS LOOK LIKE ANY TV NEWS.

[@jonathanscott550]

Kristina and John great Video. Hope Town Great Abaco Island Bahamas I was there 40 years ago and even back then it was a magical place. Hope the Cat isn't giving you difficulties and that you both have a great time while there. Stay safe see you later on next video. We actually stay at a place at Marsh Harbour.

[@petermeharry782]

Generator on and make sandwiches all day 🤣🤣 oh I love listening to you two

[@KristinasTravels]

Bahahaha!!! PETE, let me tell you, it was getting tempting 😂🤣😅 Hope you’re having a great week so far 🙂 x

[@russosborne]

When anchoring or grabbing a mooring, Kristina should be at the helm and John should do the heavy and dirty work.

[@KristinasTravels]

For sure! I just need to get comfortable behind the controls is such confined spaces! 🫣🫣 hehe! I’ll get there eventually 🙂💭 x

[@applicablerobot]

How about they just do what they're comfortable with? Conforming to antiquated gender norms holds absolutely zero value. It might still be best for John to be at the bow, but not for this reason.

[@daveruona991]

Have you considered a portable power bank? I use a Anker that will recharge my phone, laptop,and any device. I've charged both at the same time several times b4 having to recharge the powerbank. It's about the size of a larger cellphone and comes in handy alot. Cost about $50. Enjoy your episodes.

[@HeyMichaelLeo]

Why Miami, not a good example of Florida. Come to St. Pete or our place on Davis Island. We will make sure it's a good time 😊

[@yahyadervis4706]

[@BU5ALIFA5]

Hello! If you’re going to Oman be sure to pass by Salalah which is such a beautiful area

[@KristinasTravels]

Oh realllly?? Amazing! I’ve started a google map list, and have added this! Thank you for the recommendation 🙂🙂

[@BU5ALIFA5]

@@KristinasTravels to a lot of people its unexpected since its a very tropical environment when most people assume Oman is only desert, if you visit i hope you enjoy!

[@conradboss]

Looks like the Bahamian government finally painted the old lighthouse. 😊⛵️

[@KristinasTravels]

They got a grant from the US Government would you believe ❤️ off the back of the hurricane 🙌 So nice to see! They’re also renovating the flooring!

[@ptun88]

I'm sure it's been addressed before but what camera is John shooting on? R5? Excellent day in the life I agree balance is key!

[@dirk3730]

You are lucky John didn't ask you to suck out the poison 😂 Cheers guys and safe travels

[@RNVOS]

Love your videos! If you come to Canada- west coast, would love to meet up! ❤from 🇨🇦

[@KristinasTravels]

Thanks so much! Ohhh my gosh! We CAN NOT WAIT to visit Canada ❤️🥰🙌 Hope to meet one day for sure

[@johanvantonder4642]

do you guys now own the catamaran and do you take people out on charter?

[@KristinasTravels]

Hey there! We borrowed this one from Navigare yachting, they’ve become good friends of ours, we hired a boat through them in Greece also!

[@paulchalkley-wt7jg]

How are you settling in on a multi hull guys?

[@KristinasTravels]

It’s sooooooo nice! We love it… I could get used to this 🤣😂😅😜

[@paulchalkley-wt7jg]

Love your vlogs followed you since the lockdown which was an absolute godsend x

[@sfs2481]

Lighting strike. Well…. She is a gal and worried about being fried like a French fry, John , sooo… you have to try and reassure her that the risk is low. Like being stung by a bee.

[@Wladiaraujo]

I teach 4 languages for u ❤. You r stunning and so cute. 😊 Vladimir

[@geoffstrebel2808]

Second charter out of the Navigare, Marsh Harbour, base after it reopened. Just two shipping containers : kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3iliJ2vjs6Ci8U

[@KristinasTravels]

Wow! That must have been very surreal being there so soon after the hurricane! Love that you took the opportunity to go up the mast too 😎👌🏻🙌🏻

[@boristires]

Why subtitles is not working?

[@user-bk4jh7yy3w]

But the Bahamas is like a third-world country. akin to Bali, Indonesia. No medical care was available at the time of the shoot, and the house price tag of Silicon Valley.

[@woods534]

why dont you hire someone to edit your videos?

[@KristinasTravels]

To pay someone to do the amount of work I did for this episode would probably cost $2000 👀

[@BTCxyz369]

💘

[@ronlokk]

Of course you are making us all jealous by having so much fun on such a nice boat in a such a beautiful place. So cool. All the best.

[@megcreates2.0]

Have you heard about Babble?

[@linusa2996]

invest in an electric one wheel or folding bike

It is nice to see you two continuing your journey. Always a thrill to watch your adventures.

Groovy episode. sorry about the bee sting.

[@KristinasTravels]

Hehe! Thank goodness he wasn’t allergic 🫣🐝

[@bgd5339]

We didn't get to see karaoke night. 😢 How did it go?

[@KristinasTravels]

Hahaha somethings weren’t meant for KZbin! We had a great night with a bit of a follow up session back karaoke session on the boat with friends from vagabonde adventures great night 😆

[@pmacgowan]

You need electric scooters

[@KristinasTravels]

That would be a dream! I’ve ALWAYS wanted one! Or am electric bike!! 🙂🙂

[@darrylamirault]

Canada says we’d love to have you….

[@KristinasTravels]

We can’t waiiiit to visit Canada one day 😍

That's what I like best about the Caribbean is all of the pastel colored buildings. 😍

Wizz = Pee … at least in the States

👀😂 ekkkk!

[@vinceperillo6802]

Ahoy mates! Just joined the crew. I love the episode and look forward to the great tour you guys will be providing us in the Bahamas. Safe sailing peace.

[@dangreen2501]

I believe you would say, “we’re going to wiz on over to the Lighthouse” and not “for a wiz”. You especially don’t want to say “we’re going to take a wiz over to…”!

[@boomersudden6257]

Great video Kristina and John you two are a hoot to watch.

[@bos6782]

Great look at real life on board your travels. Thanks for the video. Beautiful setting on Hope Island.

[@aidansomerville773]

What were the islands? What was the costs of beer, meals like there? Thinking about a trip at the end of October, but not sure where yet. Was originally Cape Town but that's looking very sketchy at the moment

[@KristinasTravels]

Hey there sorry about the late reply, everything in the Bahamas was super expensive maybe 1.5-2x US prices, but then again they are recovering from hurricane etc so we didn’t mind paying a little extra if it helps, they’re all family run bars etc hope you do go to the Bahamas, consider chartering with Navigare if you do, they’re amazing!

[@marklapierre5629]

Unless you are independently wealthy we all have to work for a living. If it was easy everyone would do it. I hope to explore the Bahamas in a couple of years but it won't be aboard a charter.

[@KristinasTravels]

Hey Mark! Thanks always for you comments and contributions 🙌🙂 This boat is PERFECT for a group of people as it has 4x berths (queen beds) and 4x heads (bathrooms) - if you were to travel with a group of people this would be a great holiday and experience when dividing the cost! ❤️🙂

[@JamesMcCarty]

Kristina, you are a brilliant editor. This was such an awesome episode. I laughed so hard so many times.

[@KristinasTravels]

Thanks so much James! 😜

[@teeoff007]

We were there 2 weeks ago. Even ate at captain jacks

[@KristinasTravels]

Ohhhh REALLY?!?? What did you order?!!! Anddddd… were you there for karaoke night?!? Some of the locals are AMAZING on the mic! 🎤

[@danielerdos3046]

Not sure how much John can vlog and tell about aviation but that could be an awesome angle for the channel. Two of the most amazing traveling mode in life is flying and on a ship, so if we could get a little glimpse behind the myserious world of piloting an aircraft that would be also cool. Maybe just for me 🤷‍♂️ but I don't drive but have 2 bucket list license items: PPL (Private Pilot License) for flying non-commercially and PER (Patrón de Embarcaciones de Recreo) to captain boats up to 15m in length in Spain 😀

[@KristinasTravels]

Hey there Daniel!!!!! Oh my gosh - THANK YOU for this question 🙂 As we film our next season here in Europe, I am vlogging and waiting at a train station with John as we speak, and I have made a shout out - and captured this question and have asked John about flying and his qualifications and how hard it is to keep his certification and recency! So keep a look out over the next couple of months!!!! 🙂
