simple boat life; a girl & her cat [ep 110] 

Love your videos. Soon Mako will need his own channel. You both bring us plenty of smiles and takes us away from our daily challenges. Never stop.❤️🦈🐠🐟⛵️🐈‍⬛

Great video Lauren! I'm glad you featured Mako a bit in this one. He is a full fledged cast member and super fun to watch. Nice underwater shots again. I really enjoy your channel!!

Mako is the most unique cat! Thanks for the video.

You and the hiking kitty are living a great life Lauren. You bring back fond memories of a week I spent on St. Johns. I’m so looking forward to getting back there.

Ran charters on my Newport 41 out of sapphire / st Thomas in the mid 90’s… so many multi hulls now in the area now !

Mako that walkway is called a catwalk it’s for you,humans should be on the ground beside it. Great episode always a bright spot in my week to see how your doing looking forward to your next adventure. God bless with starry nights.

😀😀👍👍👍❤ It seems like Mako is starting to relax on his hikes. He does look like he finds it all so curious. Thanks for all your hard video work. Almost 200K subscribers! Bye for now from Seattle, WA.

I did that Lower Francis bay hike myself a couple of months ago. Really nice, not to mention the day on the St. Francis beach. Though, sad to say, I did not have a cat to hang with.

I think I saw Mako was a foster fail acquisition (?), I think he's a great crew member and provides company when solo can get lonely 🙂

Happy cat!

Mako is so adorable

Nice scenic views underwater and hiking trail. Neat cat. Thanks for sharing

Another awesome video the under water videos where fantastic and loved the hike with Mako take care

I just love the relationship you and Mako have hes so chill and you could probably not use the leash on the trails unless he just gets to distracted 😂😂😂😂

love your vids! your making me miss the sea

Love love love St. John USVI!!! Maho is our favorite (from land or sea), even with the west end development (there last June). Funniest moment... our mid 20 ish daughter, doing the Flintstone peddle maneuver towards shore as we snorkeled, because I pointed out a shark on the bottom minding it's own business, lol.

I met Krissy. She said y’all went on a deep dive excursion together. She’s a sweetheart too!

Mako is so freaking cool! Hope you realize what a kickass cat you have!!

Can’t believe Mako just follows you. My cat would bolt.

Marathon man Mako. That little panting tongue! Good idea to get him a backpack - then you don't have to carry anything. 😜

this is the first time in my 70 years that I see a cat walking like a dog on a leash. Mako is a smart cat!

That cat could have his own you tube channel! LOL

all the more reason I'm a diver ,have fun

What are you tied to, and why? Are you tethered to your dinghy? Because the current is strong?

❤

Q T Pie🥰

I am not a donkey, Lauren.. i like chicken Tho, bushes walks are little overwhelming, cannot wait two get back too the Dingy.. and take the night in on the Bay, i think its a song on something Bay Girl.

Got to ask, how does the ball stay on board? 😊

That harness looks a little massive for your five pound cat. You didn't show it, did you bring water for Mako?

Miko I missed you,😋🥰cute😊😘😉👍🫶

Are you bringing Mako water on these hikes?

2:06, Lauren becomes….Cat Woman! Don’t worry, your secret identity is safe with me.

💪😻💪

🤙🤙🤙⛵️⛵️⛵️

Cat dog

What's the time? Seems it's already morning. I see the sky, it's so beautiful and blue. The tv's on but the only thing showing Is a picture of you. Oh I get up and make myself some coffee. I try to read a bit but the story's too thin. I thank the Lord above You're not here to see me in this shape I'm in. Spending my time, Watching the days go by. Feeling so small, I stare at the wall, Hoping that you think of me too. I'm spending my time. I try to call but I don't know what to tell you. I leave a kiss on your answering machine. Oh help me please, Is there someone who can make me Wake up from this dream? Spending my time, Watching the days go by. Feeling so small, I stare at the wall, Hoping that you are missing me too. I'm spending my time, Watching the sun go down.…

How many times has Maco fallen overboard , when playing fetch? Better wash that boat and quit Loly gagging! That boats not gonna clean itself. Girl u need to eat more your looking too skinny!

There are few things that bring me peace in this world. Thank you and Mako, so so much for being one of them! Prayers up, and good sailing!!

Lauren.. Love your channel and your videos.

Lovely to see Mako stealing the show again. He’s a character. Lovely relationship you guys have - playing, hiking, entertaining - he just needs to learn to snorkel now! 😀

Don't forget to take water and a small bowl for Mako when you go ashore for a walk.

I’ve never seen a cat on a leash, on a hike. That was precious. Your underwater footage is incredible.

I am so glad to see you have a "buddy boat" with you. Mako is really a dog in a cat body. I once had a cat like that. They are so unique.

Mako getting his steps in. Bet he slept well those two days after the hike. Water looked amazing. Stay safe sister….

was surprised the first time cat played fetch

Awe it's home! I miss living on St John. Should have never left. Thanks for bringing me back after 2 years. And there's an active crew out on the reefs fighting to preserve it. Shout out to Frank Cummings who also runs the Lionfish removal program that gives us CORE members license to hunt them in NP waters.

Another great episode. Glad you and Mako arw having fun. Happy Easter.

Good evening, so good, the dive the place and wow Mako the 'commando cat' , he adapts to whatever 👏 and I love how you are sensitive to his present state and needs, so comforting for him and us, you are amazing and always a big part of my fun fridays, no pressure but please dont go anywhere😊 Big thanks friend 💙🌿🍃💙

your to good to single handed sailing and miko your cat is amazing he relay loves you i love him to😍😍🥰🥰🤩🤩

Ditching work was great for you! You're more relaxed and your inner you is really happy. It shows in everything your doing. Even Mako is smiling. Not the panting lol. Really enjoyed this video Lauren. It captured your essence so perfectly.

So sweet. Mako is such a lovely companion. You might think about putting some netting around the boat to help keep him safe. Love your videos.

What a BEAUTIFUL place!

Hey Lauren 🙂 What breed of cat is Mako? He's amazing! 😻 (Edit: You are too of course!😆...but mako certainly plays his part in bringing home the subs! 😁)

Lauren you are truly living the life. Thanks for taking us along. Safe sailing wherever you go.❤

Hard working woman. Beautiful soul,you living my dream.shamim 💔👏🕊🧜‍♀️💘💑🤼‍♂️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Mako cracks me up,... He's not impressed a bit by anything you silly "humans" do.. { to include sailing apparently}... He's the perfect "foil" or "straight man" for your wonderful videos. Keep up the good work

Anyone watching please hit the like and subscribe! It helps the RU-vidr grow their channel.. Thanks Lauren. Beautiful videos 😊

🎉🎉🎉 Hi 👋🏼 Lauren 😊 I Just wanted you to know that I’ve really been enjoying your videos. And also you’ve been a huge inspiration for me to start my channel. Do you have any recommendations for starting out from the beginning? I sure would love to hear back from you 😊. Mako is an amazing kitty 🐱. I have 5 kitties here in Paso Robles, California and absolutely love my babies. I don’t remember if I’ve already told you a little about myself… but anyways I Just retired at an early age after operating my two full service restaurants for over 32 years. I’m also a singer songwriter who has lived in Nashville part time for 20 years. I’ve done so many wonderful things and I’d just like to share my life with everyone. From Rags to Riches is the basis’ of my story line. I’ve always been the person that other people want to hang out with. And being in the restaurant business for so long, I have had the chance to personally become “Friends” with at least 50,K people in my community and also tons of friends in Nashville. I’ve performed at many amazing places in Nashville and have rubbed elbows with some of the most popular artists ever. That’s just the tip of the iceberg…. So I really would love any kind of input from you 😊😊😊😊. Stay safe and healthy and when you look at the Star’s at night, Just think about the most awesome God that created it for us to enjoy. Blessings, Carlos

Its so amazing that you can call that beautiful blue ocean your home. I love it!!!

Powerful woman right here💪🏼. God Bless You and your Kitty on your travels. I know a lot of men that wouldn’t do what do. I also like that your channel isn’t totally all about bikini’s. ❤🙏🏻❤

Hi Lauren! Question, were you in Jensen Beach Florida on Saturday, April 6th, in front of a restaurant called Mulligan’s talking to a woman with a dog? I was sitting just inside at a big rectangular table and if it was you I saw you!

Mako be like..."Woman, you are seriously cramping my style! Take this harness off me so's I can kill some chit." 😆

Nice video, as always. Curious how you secure the dinghy when diving. Thanks.

Happy Easter today...fun episode to watch....always the inspiration and our favorite Captain

👍👍👍💙

Just subccribed to your channel, love watching you and that crazy cat! I have a granddauter your age. wish she had the energy and stanima you do.Have fun young lady.

What type of harness does ¿Maco? Wear. It looks as though it’s more comfy padding

Have you ever found anything on the ocean floor that surprised you? Just curious...

The kitty was just looking for a cool place to rest and cool down... You are so BLESSED to have a kitty that lessons to you and does what you tell him to do most of the time... I do enjoy your videos; Thanks for sharing them with us. Y'all be blessed in Jesus name... BBE..😻😻💗💗

That cat pants like a dog!😂 #Doggen it !!! Never knew your boat was so long till you shared in another cruiser vid. Is it in your intro?

In the book kontiki they mix their water with 25% sea water to make their water last longer and give them some minerals I was wondering are you drinking reverse osmosis water without adding minerals? Because that will drain your calcium in your body

Now there's something you don't see every day... Go Mako!

I think that it's pretty cool how well Mako gets along with the hikes. He is pretty laid back, and has some amazing character

a quick question? I'm looking into buying a sailboat ⛵ ball park range on the one you got that you sail with! thanks

Maybe get sponsored by a company with waterproff pet tags for phone apps so you csn always find your kitty if u dont already do this.

Can you please tell me where the Karibbeon is? I know where the Caribbean is but you go on about the Karibbeon.

Great Episode and very cool footage! Well done to Mako for being so easy on the hikes. He's a great cat. There are a number of youtube channels that I get inspiration from, among them are Spear It Animal, Delos, Ryan and Sophie, Slim and Soph, and so many more, but you are my number one inspiration, Lauren. How you handle your 50ft boat as a solo sailor has me in awe. And with all of that inspiration you have given me I have just come back from my first ever sail. I left a little town called Metung in Eastern Victoria just over a week ago, and sailed 300NM with a sailing instructor up the east coast of Australia, just past Sydney. On this trip was also doing my Dayskipper's Qualification. Can't wait to sail the Whitsunday Islands in Australia, The Med and wave at you as I sail past in the Caribbean one day. And without you I probably would have never started. This has been life changing for me. 🤟💌 So a massive and heartfelt 'Thank-you' from me to you and Mako. - Pete

mako sd lauren was hiking, I was looking for a juicy mouse 🐀

16:31 и 17:04 кот дышит ртом не потому что ему жарко. Это сильный стресс, шок у кошек. Может случиться инфаркт. Очень опасная ситуация

Seems like it would get boring just sitting around waiting to fix a boat.

Thanks for sharing . I cracked up laughing at msko playing fetch🎉🎉🎉 My luck the toy would bounce right over the side and cat follow. 😂😂😂

Diving on a reef is so relaxing and fun. Mako on the trail was like, you can carry me anytime you like. He's so funny. He has a bigger than life personality. Enjoyed the video, Lauren.

Has the cat ever fallen in. 🙋‍♂️👏👏🇬🇧

Mako is quite the explorer. Nice to see him out and about. You look very relaxed Lauren, good to see you doing well. Be safe and see you soon. Thank you for sharing.

Don't throw near the edge please love that MAKO

How to become a charter guest. Ie,price, etc...

Mako is so cute. Has he ever fallen overboard?

Is your boat as messy as it appears? It’s ok if it is. My boat was always a mess.

Is all that coral dead? Ocean acidification?

You can grab the mooring ball solo from the stern if you prep for it. You take a mooring line or any spare line from your mooring point on the bow, go outside your railing the same way your anchor chain does, and walk that line all the way aft OUTSIDE the rail. Then come over the rail with it. Now you sail alongside the mooring ball, stalling out when it is just ahead of the helm. So you can grab the ball or pennant, hook on that new lline, and let go of it. You will drift back on the slack, but if you go up to the bow you are already moored, you just need to haul in the slack. Easier to do than to read.

Mako did a fabulous job on the hike! My little bowtied cat, Milo, would never be as good on such a hike😅

i hear those clear dome type backpacks for cats can overheat ya cat. looks like mako is having fun just running around the trail. great dive footage.

Is this the worlds most well traveled cat? 😂

Mako is the man! A little attention here! 😂

You look all sugared up in the eyes 17:36

That coral 🪸 looks better than most coral reefs that are white/ bleached out. 😊

Are you sure Mako is not a dog disguised as a cat? ❤😂

Mako is such a gentleman ❤

That kitty is so cute what a good kitty!

Dad has enough balls to call that one ?
