Trip South 2021 Part 1 - Juneau to Ketchikan / MV Havaseas - Nordhavn 55 

That Nordhavn looks more comfortable than a house. Now I understand why most everyone who buys a Nordhavn sell their houses and move onto their Nordhavns. Do you have 1 or 2 alternators on the main engine? Is there an alternator on the wing engine? Even a first-time passenger on a boat could sleep well at night with your captain at the helm. You are such a nice couple, thanks for the enjoyable videos.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Your living my dream!

Great shopping and putting away all that stuff. Here's a trick with bread and rolls that I use to get "nearly" all the air out of the food saver bags. Before you take the air out, put the breat/rolls (whatever) in the food savor bags then freeze them. Once they are rock hard frozen remove the air. That way you won't crush the rolls, bread etc. Works great.

Lived on and traveled those waters for 10 yrs. I miss the entire S.E. Alaskan area very much. Safe travels!

Hope you guys have safe passage all the way!! Stay safe Havaseas crew!

Very cool video! Love the aircraft shots! I'm a retired airline pilot so.... I appreciate the provisioning stuff! I wish more would do a thorough provisioning video. It's needed so that novices can really understand what to expect. There was a N72, can't remember the boat name, but they showed going to Costco and a meat market, then how she managed all the storage. With electronic excel sheets to track where everything was stored. I soak it all in for when we get out Nordhavn. Thank you for showing us this stuff!

Kudos for your video. Adding a little more local color (maybe more descriptive about the areas you're moving in), thoughts about the "why" of boat life (you have "how" down) and what your personal take is on the day. I wouldn't try to involve Eric in conversation on video- he obviously doesn't seem to appreciate it. Your personality shines through though ... hope you keep it up!

Wait.. you took the wine out of the fridge to make space for salad?? ;)

Hey hey! New sub! I loved this vid. I hope Eric becomes a little more animated, but I get it. You don’t buy this caliber of boat, and cruise these North western waters because you “just love to be around people” - this type of boating is not for everyone. I’m dying to begin my adventure! I’m looking at a 37’ Nordic tug this coming weekend. It’s here, in eastern Canada, so it’s a “window shopping” trip for me. The seller knows, but is being gracious enough to give me some time. I’ll be a serious buyer in the spring of 2022 after moving to British Columbia after Christmas. We have a “well to do” daughter in Langley, a B.C. Hydro exec. who will house us until our live-aboard is purchased. I want a true passage maker, as I’ll be sailing similar waters, and have the Sea of Cortez as a bucket lister, too! You have a beautiful home/boat! Looking forward to exploring your channel as part of my “education “ Peace (forgot to mention that we will be accompanied by our two Yorkies, Gracie and Pearl!)

Great views and moorages you used, those sunsets - wow. Once again Love your Nordhavn , well maintained and clean. Oh and you provision like a Pro! Can't wait to see the next stretch. Keep safe.

Halibut and potatoes is that Alaskan for fish and chips

Lovely 😍video Looking forward to your next step. Love the details when it comes to describe the routes, weather cooking and engine checks ✔ Missing the docking videos and it will be perfect. Take care for now and Stay safe

I noticed you don't seem to use A slow cooker. When I was boating or rving I would set the croak pot up and when we anchored for the night dinner was ready

Thanx for music. Have recorded on audacity.I have watched every item re Nordahavn on you tube. You are lucky. NSW Australia

Love your videos. Thank you.

As someone fortunate enough to have traveled across the globe as a merchant mariner (and being from Norway with our own unique seaboard), there's not a shadow of a doubt in my mind, the coastal stretch from Big Sur, Cal., all the way up to and including Alaska, has no rival when it comes to scenery, going by a vessel like the *HAVASEAS* must be the absolute most splendid way to roam this coast! . . . Thanks for sharing, and bon voyage! . . .

Great videos, you don't get much chatter out of your other half though do you?! He must be camera shy but your very informative:)

what type of emergency meals do you guys bring on trips?

You don't have to refrigerate eggs , just turn them over every few days !

The rest of the world doesn’t refrigerate raw eggs and have lived to tell the tale.

GREAT video!! Looks absolutely beautiful up there! I'm hoping to move to either Ketchikan or Juneau in spring as an Aircraft Mechanic. You have a new subscriber! Much respect and support from Yuma, AZ. 👍👍

Do you find any of the anti nausea products work? Bracelets seem to be the product du jour. have you ride very many of them?

Just spent 3 months in Ketchikan. 4 years total in Alaska - mostly by Dutch.

Катлеты жарила лопатку слабо на блюдце класть)))

I love Meyers Chuck! It was so neat and so much character in there! We want to do this trip again so bad! Thanks for sharing this trip!

As a sailor of small keel boats I can see the attraction of a motor yacht like yours. On watch in the dry, heading up wind, a washer dryer! The comforts are too many to mention unfortunately as an older retired man , I don't see me ever having the funds. Oh well up with the mainsail and venture on come springtime. Enjoy your trip guys, short days and no sailing in Northern Europe for a few months.

You sure seem to plan well for “Not feelin it days”.. Hmmm, not premeditated at all --Nahhhhh😂😆😳

Whats the name of intro music

I'm really enjoy watching your videos! Keep posting and be safe out there💖

Beautiful boat, emergency meals, we do that at home also… not the same… the views are stunning..

Great episode! Thanks for sharing! Scenery is still beautiful even with all the rain and low clouds...
