Water is Everything | Boat Life Ep. 44

[@michaelabemis1860]

I kid you not I have no interest in sailing but I just love watching your story develop. I am always happy when I realize it’s tuesday because it means there will be a new video. Just wanted to let you know that your content is so enchanting and your personalities are so fun and genuine 🥺 thanks for all your work to get your videos ready for us

[@FeMelch]

Without fail, I find myself smiling halfway through the video, and I can never remember when I started-it’s basically a perpetual state while your videos are rolling. 🙂 Always such a pleasure to “come along.”

[@WildWeRoam]

Aw, thank you so much, Sarah!!! Ha your comment has me grinning ear to ear now 🤗 Thank you ❤️

[@kaitlynrenee7927]

It’s so cool to see the ‘in between’- the process. The things it takes to get to your goals. It’s often only the end result people show, so thank you for sharing and letting us be a part of this journey. ✨

[@marksmith2237]

Can't say I like sailing that much, however these two could make anything watchable, watched entire series. She's adorable, and he's cool without knowing it , they just get it done.

[@WildWeRoam]

Aw, thank you so much, Mark!!! What a cool comment 🤗 Grinning so much right now ❤️

[@nopeynopeynope]

I have never wanted to go travelling in a van or sail a boat but I agree they are very watchable and hard working.

[@magee2161]

you guys are the most put together people I know of

[@mangoqath]

agreed.. how are they so genuinely peaceful 😭

[@WildWeRoam]

Ha, aw, thank you so much, guys ❤️ we 100% weren't always this way and don't always feel put together, but do have to say that many self-care routines have genuinely helped us feel that way more often, and then be able to be more dedicated to the projects that we care about... different things work for different people, but that helps us so much 🤗 hope you both have an amazing week, sending our love ❤️

[@VisiColors]

"Maybe like 40 or something" y'all are fantastic, please never change thank you

[@sdfsdf1714]

got major pink panther vibes when you were connecting the filter in the dark 👀

[@davidolson7575]

If you’re planning on going around the world might I suggest that you get yourself a water maker. While having a filtration system is a great thing on a small boat like yours a water maker would be a much better tool to have on the boat. Good luck be safe

[@Ruvska]

I'm with Lou on the pizza! Thanks for the great spirits and awesome teamwork!

[@lexylexylexy1234]

Love the music choices! From the surf rock to the spy jazz, Sooo good.

[@gerdpapenburg7050]

21:44 - advice from a frugal German; there is no need to cut off the ends of the asparagus; you can also peel them using a peeler as you use for potatoe peels.

[@lijsismore]

I just bought an old rusty van 😄 Thank you for sharing your journey ❤️

[@WildWeRoam]

No way!!! That is so exciting!!! We wish you such an amazing experience with your lovely, old trusty van 🤗❤️

[@gouda2872]

Having the mahogany spacer also tells you, that's the freshwater one so it kinda differentiates between your salt water and fresh water!

[@KanaievenTokyo]

Im watching your channel after not watching for a year or so and im so happy your style hasnt changed. Much love and excited for your boat journey :)

[@iamzon2635]

I miss the interaction with donkeys & the dog

[@WildWeRoam]

Aw, thank you so much!!! That is really so nice to hear, Kanai 🤗❤️ sending our love!

[@aishawaterman492]

These videos make me so happy, the editing is soo good

[@sailingavocet]

Nice work! We recently added an Acuva UV filter to our system too!

[@karenthomas1456]

"Teach me, Sensei." You guys are so lovely. x

[@crystalstorm4914]

Such a playful episode!

[@Polyjamorous-mothmaam]

I watched 2 of your videos so far and my main thought is: relationship goals

[@pawlet]

Yes!

[@anned3869]

It was kind of strange, not hearing the typical "a big thank you to squarespace for sponsoring this video" :D "acuva" sounded like a cough or something like that, cause it was so unexpected :D

[@VinSiTeo3]

Yes! I was thrown off. Lol

[@thelandylad1022]

You should do some dinghy sailing in rough conditions to get used to handling a boat in rough conditions.

[@adalinelathrop5129]

This is just a genuine question (not meant to be hateful or anything) but don’t you guys need a water maker to desalinate the water and then the Acuva will just make that fresh water extra clean? Because I don’t think that filtration system will be able to get all the salt out of ocean water. Again just a question. I love your guys’ channel and have been watching for years. Excited for your journey!!!

[@JP-NL]

Thank you for another amazing video! I love all the upgrades you are doing to the boat and I am so excited for the new paint job. Also the patches are really cool. Stay safe and greetings from the Netherland!

[@CruisingAlba]

I remember when we installed a water filter on our boat... Took 4 hours! Well done!

[@butimawitchwiththreediplom3340]

It’s so exiting seeing all this progress. It’s going to be amazing when you get back on the water 💕💕

[@seiwonko1162]

if you guys enjoy miso, you might enjoy korean soybean paste Doenjang, it's a little bit less salty and a little more nutty than miso! Great with rice bowl :)

[@jennifer6278]

I second this! Definitely look up recipes for deonjang bibimbap, I think you guys would really like it. Easy to make vegan as well 🌱

[@WildWeRoam]

That sounds amazing!! Thank you so much for the tip, definitely will look out for that!!! 🤗 ❤️

[@sophiedumesny5203]

Every Tuesday, I'm always impatient to watch another of your videos! They make me feel good. Inspire me to live my life creatively. Thank you for sharing your adventures with the world! Thank you for taking the time every week to make a new video! Just thank you Dana and Lou !

[@WildWeRoam]

Aw, thank you so much, Sophie!!!! This comment means so much to read 🤗 Thank you for the dose of motivation ❤️ sending you our love!!!

[@santropixie5140]

Dana’s smile is vibes. 😁

[@naliyastudio]

Dana looks so healthy! 😍

[@CapeFearFamilyLaw]

I can see you in Caribbean waters and I'm so amazed by you guys! Keep up the great work!

[@robertmarquis8716]

You also need a desalination system and you never run out of water

[@taketothehighwaydotcom3152]

I am pretty sure I remember them saying their very successful Gritrock project would help fund their water maker.

[@pjdave66]

Wow girl, you looked radiant on the opening right after the intro. You always look great but Wow

[@marilynreichenbach9220]

You're such a fun channel to watch! Thanks for taking us along.

[@WildWeRoam]

Thanks so much, Marilyn!! We are so happy you like it 🤗 Sending our love ❤️

[@AlienX69]

Dana is such an entrepreneur .... Bravo Dana !!

[@richardboody6709]

Get back in the water now!!! I can't wait to see you two in the water again

[@jc142]

Adore the music you chose! X

Such good vibes! I’m hungry now

[@Nae641]

I am a 1976, so 44 years!

[@Msculpcake]

You two are precious, I haven't missed a episode since I started a few months back, I even traveled back in time with you guys. God bless you two💗

[@WildWeRoam]

Thank you so much!! That is so kind of you to take the time to write to us 🤗 Sending our love ❤️

[@taylordupont6787]

If my man and I tried to do a boat reno.... think we’d kill each other! Lol. Love the peace and softness between you too. Now show us some uncut footage ;) .... jk I couldn’t even imagine Dana “angry”!

[@McCeighty]

I loved the victory music and spy music :P lots of fun

[@WildWeRoam]

Thanks so much 🤗 Was in a goofy happy mood when editing and it definitely spilled over into music choice! Hope you are having a lovely day ❤️

[@elinapaula3388]

Thank You so much

[@svbarryduckworth628]

You skipped over dropping the mast. Now is the time to put on a really good low-draw LED anchor light and new wiring up to it, as well as new VHF cable and antenna. Are you going to replace the standing rigging and maybe chainplates? Hire a good rigger to inspect everything and give you advice as to what to replace.

[@ValleSolitarioMom]

Always such a joy to watch your videos you guys! Can you share what type of containers you use for transporting/saving your food? Keep it up you guys!!

[@JCAJCA3]

I am with Lou on the Pizza! GOD speed guys. Another wonderful video. JC

[@Twelvestonestacking]

Goodonyas! Go get'm tiger (s)!!

Good morning Dana and Lou :) sending a smile good vibes, and starting the day with your video

Aw thank you so much!!! We are so happy to be a part of your morning, hope you had a gorgeous rest of your day!!! 🤗 ❤️

[@bekahsbigtinylife]

I just love you guys so much 😄 your doing great!

[@leles5959]

Whaaat already Tuesday 🥰🙆‍♀️🥳

[@asailboatnamedroxy696]

Great video!

[@patriciaoshea9566]

spray bottle for plants...spray...they love it

[@sailingsomeday5975]

Hi guys great video- you might consider adding a switch near the faucet- you need the water pump each time you use the filter BUT you do not need that filter each time the water pump goes on ( shower, bathroom faucet, etc) - I hope that made sense (it did in my head)

[@WildWeRoam]

Thank you so much, that is a cool idea!! Will definitely keep that in mind as an option while we keep working on things 🤗 ❤️

[@UntilTheEnd123]

I need to know where your jacket is from! Please 🥴 and I would love to see an intimate little video of sewing the patch onto a puffer jacket!

[@amandakoerperich2622]

Dana, where is your night outfit from?! It looks very comfy!

[@jamesatkisson3736]

What do you mean you have never played operation??? I whole heartedly expect a recreational video after winter with lus first operation. Por favor much love

[@dontknowdontcare222]

Great video :)

[@mangoqath]

pastel pink is your color, dana! 💖

[@danadavis1754]

So early! It feels like a fun treat

[@jasonmckenzie380]

Do you guys have a water maker/desalinater system on the boat?

[@Daydreameruk]

I started off saying ‘I want to eat that lunch, looks delish’. Only to finish up saying ‘and now I really want to eat that dinner!!’ Boat stuff was good, but that food… ohhhhhh.

[@barbaraprovoast4603]

I really can’t wait for your cookbook! We are pescatarians, with eggs and milk. Need some ideas!

[@penny1871]

Could you please tell us the model number of this tiny mini instant pot,as can’t find it online in 🇬🇧 thanks 😊

[@earlashton1342]

Save the old forciet for an outside fish cleaning station. Salt water only though. Or throw it out.

[@Wyldyflower]

Dinner looked so good!

[@aniabrandt7]

[@ailanygutierrez6329]

Can you show us the other room again I don’t remember what it looks like!

[@caseystout8761]

Loving that tubber ware. Where did you guys get those??

[@tommac9578]

When you opened the box did the water treatment say made in China? Canature is a Chinese company which has partnered with Acuva!

[@Knoklsnedkr]

Saltwater for a rinse - but it's really not very nice with salty dishes - been there - it was nasty in the end; salt crystals and salty towels and salty whatever... I'll never go down that road again...

[@frippe1976]

I love to follow your work on the boat but I can’t help wonder, is there anything that doesn’t need electricity on the boat? Ok, you’ve got solar panels but I’m afraid that you are going to be out of power in three days when you’re sailing off shore! Maybe you need a wind power source to?

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

Lou: "The Faucinator!" You really took care of that leaky broken faucet & showed it who's boss! LOL Why is it the simplest jobs that cause you the most frustration?!?!?

[@WildWeRoam]

Riiiight?? We definitely didn't think it would be the ordeal that it was, ha! Laughing so much at "the faucinator"! Thank you for watching and sending our love 🤗 ❤️

[@davidmalone9022]

I'm thinking you REALLY need some solar inflatable lanterns (they really are great - perfect for a sailboat.) The ones I've seen (and used) are made by LuminAID.

[@WildWeRoam]

That's a great tip, David, thank you so much!! Will look out for those!!

[@carolann811]

For Lou: I think the answer is yes, but has yoga and meditation made a difference with your back? Any recommendations for yoga moves that really help or ones that you avoid?

[@reggaespiritdance]

Do you two use hand mudras when you meditate? There are hundreds to choose from, makes it easier for me to get into the mood, take care guys.

[@simoneclarke5104]

I just want to make comment in regards to using salt water to wash the dishes. We had planned on doing this on our future blue water boat but watch another KZbinr just recently (I think it was Rigging Doctor/Sailing Wisdom ?) and they said washing with salt water ruins absolutely everything even when you rinse with fresh. It’s better apparently to just wash solely with fresh. Just food for thought.

[@terristenacious2279]

Why didnt you choose a salt water purifyer?

[@Baddco]

If you want off grid at sea I think you will need a proper water maker. The kit and connections are not marine grade so not suitable for crossing oceans.

[@alexandertubb308]

When’s the departure date? (:

[@crystalcurrie2393]

Do you guys have a shower on the boat?

[@earlashton1342]

Bahahaha I vloged to soon.

[@Nae641]

Did Lou had an education in something with crafting, it seems he does like everything with no help or like somebody advices him or you both?

[@WildWeRoam]

We learned sooo much when building up and travelling with our van! When working so directly and in such a small space (and importantly--when you are motivated to learn because you know it may be helpful on your adventures), it is amazing how fast you can learn. Of course, for more complex things and when we are unsure, we get outside help, though! Safety first 🤗 ❤️

[@kodithebear]

What type of meditation practice do you guys do? Is it TM?

[@Stereoelfe]

Need her jacket 😭 Please tell me if you know with brand this is!

[@freemind9721]

She reminds me so much of the lady in the family man with Nicolas cage.

[@wizbo2798]

Love your videos but just turning the lights off does not mean powers off you need to turn off the battery switch in a boat

[@nickyfinn7909]

So you put in salt water and transforms it into drinkable water?

[@marksmith2237]

Would you take my advice and get some sailing lessons. We all like to think that the universe will take care of us, but sometimes it don't. The ocean can be freakin treacherous and it scares the bejesus out of me knowing you may both be out there at the mercy of the cruel sea. Knowing what to do in a storm, in an emergency knowing that you can handle anything that tthe sea can throw at you because you know what to do, because youve been taught, does that make sense? Sorry to sound like "we are all doomed" just concerned is all. Thanks for listening, and thanks for the two nice replys you sent to my previous blather. Mark in England

[@nicolasreed8002]

Curious why you are putting a water-purifier onboard as opposed to a water-maker? I imagine you're going to get a water-maker at some point anyways so it's going to be redundant to have both, and an unnecessary power-draw for both.

[@seanmorris]

If you're spending time In marinas so occasionally filling up with their water, or if your not 100% confident in the state of your water tanks?
