Easy for beautiful electrical expert and coffee ! 🌸

You are beautiful people and a beautiful couple. Thank you.

I'm so looking forward to the continuation of this start of the sailing season. Do good, be safe.

Your regular videos have a very high information value and I appreciate the work involved. Best regards from Hamburg

You two are inspirational. I'm planning on moving into a Catalina 30 here soon and your videos have definitely motivated me even more to make the move.

Great detective work on the AC adaptor... you've got skills kiddo. I'm a contractor... with that and your wood building skills, I'd hire you.

“It is not that life ashore is distasteful to me. But life at sea is better.” ― Sir Francis Drake

So gentle, so kind, so enjoyable to watch.

Great to see you heading out again!

Seems like your leaving the docks early this year. We always enjoy your videos, you two have figured out how to take the simplest situations and make great content out of them. Looking forward to your off-grid sailing adventures.....

It seems so early for you two going off grid. I love that area, so much to see. someday go to Friday Harbor and ride the mopeds around the island when it gets warmer.

Hello to you both. I've been watching your channel for a while and enjoying it. As I watch this episode there are a few things that pop up that might help your channel, but PLEASE don't take this as a criticism. If you love what you're currently doing and love having 22Kish subscribers then this is AWESOME!! But, if you would rather have 220k subscribers then here are some simple things to think about: First - audio quality - I personally believe this is far more important than video quality. And this is supported by research (okay, don't ask me what research...). If audio is great then people will tolerate marginal video, but if video is great and audio is bad then people turn off. In this episode the audio of you guys talking could have been much, much better!! Second - while people love to know the struggles of a particular journey (boat life, in this case), we all have tons of struggle in our own lives, and we don't want to see too much more of the same in others. So yes - a bit of struggle - it's real, and we need to know that you are human and have struggles too. But then - PLEASE - fill us with inspiration and beauty. Make our feeble hearts sing as we each personally embrace the magical perfection of your journey - something that most of us can only dream about. Here is some inspiration: Of course anyone in the sailing-RU-vid world knows about SV Delos. They have nearing a million subscribers and I think they have the most successful sailing RU-vid channel out there. But go back and watch season 1. It is complete sh!t. It is worse than the worse home video you ever watched. It is really, really bad. As I look back at their journey I see a few things that led to their massive success. First - they persevered through it all (and you are doing this 10 times more!!), second - they upped their game consistently and got much much better at the "RU-vid Thing" (Please - do this - you absolutely can!!!), third - they had an amazing mystical journey through distant lands (yea - you need to dot this if you want to 10X your presence), and finally - they set each video up with an amazing video of exciting journeys. Of course - yes - you see their struggles (10% or less of their videos) but then you are on board, and (most importantly) they were true to themselves!! So please - don't try to be the next SV Delos. Try to be the next best version of yourselves. Take us on a journey, with uncertain results. Leave us curious, and wondering, and inspired. Let your hearts and your journey truly soar. Bring us along. Blow us away. Leave us wanting more. Let me close with this: I sincerely love the crew on SV Delos. They are amazing, and I love their journey. But along side that I would LOVE to see what your channel could become. There is an innocence and beauty and purity about your journey that escapes a simple explanation. Up your game just a bit more and I'm a thousand percent more onboard. But again - don't do this for more subscribers. Do it to really let your story and your hearts sing on this magnificent platform. Many blessings to you both!!

I use adhesive backed Velcro on the bottom of my hand soap and counter to keep the dispenser in place while sailing

We really enjoy watching you guys make your way through the gulf island and more. We have the same Catalina 30 and living in Victoria also. Sailingabby. Think I’ve seen you travelling theBC Ferries. Happy to give you a bridge tour and show you the waters from a different point of view. All the best. Message us If you’d like any time ???

You can use a multi-meter to check if something is putting out the voltage that it is supposed to.

Oh my! Those clouds you left behind looked so dark and ominous! But you look cool, calm and collected for the rest of the video 👍 Looking forward to your off-grid adventures! Stay safe and well ⛵️

Wonderful, it makes my heart sing to see you out on the water again. I was most impressed by the fact that even though you were motoring with flat water you both had your flotation harness on, I see so many of the channels I follow, under sail, on deck, no flotation and not tethered, scary. I know for a fact I wouldn't be able to catch my boat if I went overboard. Hope your sail was great, looking forward to following your summer on the water.

such nice snippets of your lives together

❤

Please sail south to Bahamas or somewhere with blue water. OMG

Glad to see you get underway., heading for the islands. Looking forward to your summer videos with new challenges and adventures. Enjoy.

More off grid sailing vlogs to look forward to. Nice!

Thank you for the BRIEF intro to tying down before a passage. I see the interiors of so many boats and think ALL that stuff is going to end up on the floor. Slip in more about any methods you use to keep things in their place, now and then, if you do not mins. Do the dock side cats and dogs interact with the seals (or whatever the local wild life are called)?

♥️♥️🥰🥰

Just wondering do you ever put the boat on dry And inspect the hull and other none seen items. Plus maybe painting just curious if that is something You just don’t post. I watch a lot and don’t recall ever being hauled out For inspections.

When was the last time the boat was hauled out for hull cleaning?

How do you feel about the Catalina 30? Idk if you've been sailing in rough weather, your experienced opinion please

Does she have a wedding ring on?

Hiya from New Zealand...great vid and can really understand the nerves...don't know if you know but is best to start a diesel with very little to no throttle as can be bad for them...best luck and fun for your trip...
