Happy to hear from you again, am glad your all well. I retired from my job at 55 and rented out our farm at 64. Youngest child of 4 , was 23. All finished and uni paid for. I dont regret it at all . 71 now testicular cancer, not one of the fatal ones, i hope! Looking after grandchild more or less full time, just 2 years old. The problem of money in the future is always there. Between Ukraine for us Europeans and U.S tarrifs on imports which will cause terrific inflation. Never missed work, sometimes collegues Any way thanks for the videos hope you record the next loop.

Well stated and you are living the life many long for. We hope you do a second loop and we have a chance to meet you and your family some day. Your vlog propelled us into buying a loop boat and preparing for the journey in 2027 when I retire at age 56.

Thanks for the update. Your vids helped get me through and kept me motivated in our search for another boat. We found a 52 Hat that we are going to be headed south with this fall to finish the loop and. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Hi to your better half, bow and stern. Wishing you all the best

I think I remember when watching your travels that you had the Volvo diesels, what is your opinion of that powerplant

Gave us no problems and parts and expertise was plentiful. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a boat with them.

Hey Seth. A quick question…. I liked your rechargeable power washer idea as I too have a cruisers yacht without an anchor wash down. I purchased the black and decker as I have numerous batteries for it but it will not hold the prime to bring the water up to the bow. Did the Ryobi function ok. Sorry to bother you Blair. TIA

We primed it on the swim platform and then it did okay on the bow. It wouldn’t prime from there and once in a while would lose prime. We shortened the hose to just what we needed to get the pickup in the water.

Wonderful update - it’s great that you’re enjoying and fully embracing the joys of retirement, rather than lamenting the loss of the “work phase” of your life. Great Lakes boating season is in full swing, and we’re trying to make the most of it! 😊 🛥️ ⚓️

Make the most of it! We sure are missing waking up on a boat and that beautiful fresh water you’ve got!
