A Day in the Life Living on Our Sailboat in the Indigenous Territory of San Blas (Guna Yala)

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

We do of course have and use our translation app on our phone. However, we need internet for that to work and we have not yet acquired a local SIM card so it would only work when we are on the boat using starlink.

[@JMcKee253]

Get a esim.

[@EmilyAustin-c1o]

Your videos are not just content, they are true art. Thank you for your talented creativity!🎰🍾🎮

[@Bajatrvlr]

You two are just really good people… every time I watch one of your videos I keep thinking that. Good for you!

[@boatworkstoday]

Buried under 3 feet of snow here in Michigan; I'm so jealous lol!! Beautiful area you're in!

[@mgraham_Indiana]

Great episode…got a sense of how hard this is to get around and not upset the locals…nice that you are so respectful. I bet everyone isn’t which ruins it for others.

[@SophiaHeintzelman]

Your videos are a treasure trove of knowledge and wisdom. Thank you for your willingness to share your knowledge and experience!◾️☘️🏝

[@colinmansell3524]

Language certainly has barriers to overcome for sure. Well done you 2.

[@vancesprock2590]

I was there in 1977 for a month on my parents sailboat. I think in total we saw fewer than a dozen boats the entire time. Beautiful spot and have two stunning Molas on the wall plus a hand carved paddle we found on the beach. Yes, even then it was forbidden to take coconuts.

[@huie1983]

Wow, this location is absolutely gorgeous with a heck of a vibe, the locals so happy and friendly! Cool to see that even with broken bits of language, you made it work. Great content, truly inspiring and helps me escape from the grind every day. Some day I hope to experience even a small bit of your travels.

30 yrs ago Cozumels east side was full of plastic too. But back then, cruise ships just dumped everything in the ocean. Every time a hurricane comes ashore tons of garbage goes with it, so it’s a pretty difficult problem. If the islanders clean up an area, there’s a problem of where to dump it.

[@RogerM2404]

Sierra gets that look in her eye when she's sharpening the filet knife. I think she a surgeon on nights and weekends. That was amazing work on the trawler.

[@SpencerPhotography]

FAVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE sailing channel!

[@bobuncle8704]

Looks like a great place. Having the drone must be so helpful for the mangroves. Let’s you see what’s up ahead.

[@Sv_SeaDuctress]

Interesting how the natives react to you guys, seem pleasantly happy to see you. Great video-⚓️⛵️ Jim

[@DLBard-bv2nd]

When I sailed in those areas I had a quick flip guide for boaters in French & Spanish. I used them a lot. It helped me to stay brushed up on my language skills for surprise visits and trading with locals. 😁🤗⛵💖

[@rockercover]

Island visit was interesting. Very adventurous of you both.

[@chancevonfreund9145]

Glad you're doing well! Got to get me one of your cool shirts. Cheers⛵

[@rickcreel3657]

If cruisers melted plastic into numbers and letters these items could be used to leave messages to others about their boat and their trip. They have various pirate huts that leave messages and dates. Placks, numbers, and letters could be left in bulk for people to use in their art. The machines that are for sale that melt recycled plastic are too expensive. If you slowly turn up the heat on a hot plate you can melt plastic without getting it too hot.

[@raphaelarnsworth3430]

Have you looked into some of the translation tools like the Timekettle WT2 ?

[@GreenWitch1]

You guys are brave! I wouldn’t be comfortable leaving my boat alone in places like that.

[@TheRealMikeSheahan]

When I was a kid back in the 60's and 70's, most of the stuff that comes in plastic containers today, came in glass. Glass was great because it was easily recycled, and if a moron threw it in the ocean, it would sink. ;) 😉

[@rickcreel3657]

The biggest reptiles in Florida are the Florida crocodiles. They are up to 20 feet long and 2000 pounds. They are known to catch large dogs in the Florida Keys off the docks. Perhaps if they get larger we might be on their menu.

[@RealJustinLong]

The American Crocodile is federally listed as Threatened and protected in the United States with less than 2,000 remaining in the wild. This number is actually higher than it was in the mid 70’s where the population was believed to be less than 300. A large part of this is because of Turkey Point Nuclear Plant and their 10square miles of cooling channels that provide protected waters for them to reproduce. These would also be the same species that would be in Panama, Caribbean, Central America, and down to at least the equator in South America.

[@377caprice]

I'd give up plastic straws but that's not what washed up on that beach. Plastic bottles, containers, wrappers, packaging and... shoes. Lol. Straws are so not the problem.

[@michaelwhitewolf10]

You can make diesel fuel because it is made from oil you pressure cook it at 700 degrees like an alcohol still and it will come out as fuel!❤

[@dennisgrones4745]

Have you guys used one of those electronic translators ? I think I will buy one before I travel to Spanish speaking country. Love your show.

[@dennispatrick4999]

Think about bringing a trash bag to clean beaches. Maybe the locals will learn to do it too.

[@stevecrombie5357]

I saw a video from Breaking Waves that was several years ago, which showed the clean up of the west coast of Vancouver Island, or a part of it, and they filled a barge. Most of it came across the Pacific from Asia. Just crazy amounts of trash.

[@tomwilliams8675]

You need to get Plucky to act as your tour guide to San Plas Islands

[@selahwaylivinthedream7505]

I'd be nervous in those narrow mangroves of crocodiles 🐊!!!

[@michaelbrannan4864]

I can't understand a word that guy is saying hi jetty girl 😊

[@fourscarriers7551]

Dont forget to get some of the sea grapes

[@timdevoe360]

Where did y’all find your knife sharpener?Really unique.

You guys should use a translator app on your phone it that’s possible. That might help with communicating.

[@robertaslan112]

Won't the translation apps on your phone help out when speaking Spanish etc...?

[@patriciaperry2028]

Sounds like you should work hard on learning Spanish 🙂

[@jerrygengler9515]

The pollution solution is to not pollute. Waste disposal in 3rd world countries is almost non existent or poorly constructed to the point where it's unavoidable. It's unfortunate. Pride in how your area looks goes a long ways to picking it up. Recycling is the key yet it's so costly that people refuse to do it.

[@patriciaperry2028]

That trash plastic is so depressing

[@jeepman5982]

When I visited the Dominican Republic a number of years ago, the one lasting impression I got was the amount of plastic bags and plastic bottles everywhere. The people were great and the views were spectacular but the mess was unbelievable. Someone needs to get some sort of recycling system going. Also, the country relies on diesel generators for power. With all that sun, solar would work wonderfully. Even the expensive resorts, which could afford a solar setup use diesel.

[@gost9396]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍😊

[@Lifes-Adventures]

Why don’t you use the translation app on your phone to communicate with the indigenous people?

[@raycaydog]

Where are the locals? Its their land. Come on people clean it up!

[@tomd.3082]

If a guy in a boat comes offering to do your provisioning for you, he's a scammer. SV Basik got scammed by him. Just wanted to give you a heads up

[@chartlanguage]

oops delte last

[@allenharris2549]

Love following your adventures. I had a thought (dangerous thing, says my wife 😂), would speaking Spanish be helpful in your travels? Buy one of those language tutors. I bet you’d be fluent in very little time.

[@carlivengoechea]

“Plata-no”, means you have no money for the beers, when translated

[@AnitaRivas-h6y]

Every time I watch your videos I find something new and amazing in them. Keep inspiring and surprising us!🌗🛴🟨

[@chartlanguage]

dude where the caturam ?????hello u got two boats ?? sell me that ur in this video

[@wcgolfpro]

Seen alligators as well as crocodile in the ocean off Florida as well as the Caribbean. I was very surprised to learn both exist between Cuba and Florida in saltwater. Only place in the world that both alligators and crocodile exist side by side in the florida Everglades along with Burmese pythons who have been seen eating a 7 ft alligator. Seen nesting of both are in the tall grasses along the coastal waters. BE CAREFUL JETTY!! Note gators have been seen swimming and nesting along Florida coastline and beaches. Been a resident of Florida for past 70 years so seen it all.

[@kevinphelps7264]

You should learn Spanish with something like Babbel and then try to get them to sponsor you

[@bradgee2059]

Yeah, banning plastic straws or bags in places that properly dispose of their rubbish will have no impact on this.

[@HyperionMV]

The principle of "don't feed the wildlife" also applies to humans. For the same reasons.

[@Stillboating]

When you dump your trash on an island find out how they dispose of it then you can rant about seeing plastic on the beach.

[@ronvandermolen8676]

It's so sad to see that.

[@HelloworldWelcometoMylife1]

we need reuse economy, circular economy mtal packaging that you return and get money for returning this mil make it so people don't trash and litter give them a big reward a lot of money make stfff expensive and make retire be half of the price so if you want to save money you turn in your trash and get a lot of money back, by the way I have solutions for evy single problem in the world this is what I do make ideas in my mind and resrch and build a hypothetical world in my mind like I have made an ideal world this is how i would do it

[@Gretta-y2k]

Your channel is a treasure trove of inspiration. Thank you for your hard work!🐧🌪🤝

[@jesuschrist-alphaomega]

set reminder, never sail to panama

[@peterburns1004]

It's quite amusing listening to boaties that say they have no room on their plastic boat that's painted with poison marine paint to pick up plastic because WOW look at all this plastic...... Go figure

[@philmerling8356]

Keep up with NEWS some countries you are not going to want to go to due politics

[@davidherbert5027]

There are a lot of us following your adventures, with more than a thousand watching right now. Each follower is alone ( like me), or part of a small family group, so we see this interaction as a small personal event. When you refer to us as "You guys", the intimate connection is broken, because you are you are addressing the whole audience. May I suggest that you refer to us as "you", just as you would when addressing a visiting member of your family.

[@GreenWitch1]

I don’t feel that way at all. You guys is a common phrase.

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

We mean “you guys” as in you as a small family group of course.

[@hlquad]

Learn Spanish, it’s easy.

[@2nd_of_3]

I do not want to watch you kill stuff. Gone.

[@GreenWitch1]

Don’t let the door hit ya. They’re eating what they kill because they live on the ocean 🙄
