Great to have support around you with your inverter!

@SailingParadiseFalls 3 месяца назад

Absolutely! It was crazy how much support this community offers! This is what the world should be like.

I just binge watched your entire journey from the beginning and am finally caught up. Great job! Such an amazing accomplishment crossing the Pacific Ocean in your own boat. Wow! 🎉⛵️

@SailingParadiseFalls 3 месяца назад

Thank you so much!! We have come so far in the past 202 days since leaving the USA. The sense of accomplishment is AMAZING!!! Doing that long crossing makes shorter sails seem so easy!

So good to see all those smiles, you guys overcame that long passage and should be really proud of yourselves. Prayers for a smooth FP visit.......enjoy your time there. More adventures await Team Paradise Falls.

Great video, In the future, can you show us more of the technical stuff like how you remove the inverter. I like watching the technical side of boatlife. .

@SailingParadiseFalls 3 месяца назад

Will do! It was a very low point and it’s hard to remember to bring out the camera. Should be getting it. Back in the next 2wks in Tahiti and I’ll have Rob show that. Thanks for your suggestion!

@SailingParadiseFalls 3 месяца назад

That would be awesome!!!

@juliazentner681 3 месяца назад

Never a dull moment! Sucks about the inverter! Any idea when or even where you would get it back? 🙏 Prayers to your safety and good times!

@SailingParadiseFalls 3 месяца назад

The inverter is currently in Ft Lauderdale being assessed. Hopefully, we will find out next week when we can expect that one to be fixed our a replacement to be sent😊

@mapoz1509 3 месяца назад

So excited for you! So fun to see Rob moved by realizing the dream. You’re all an inspiration, and can’t wait to follow your path one of these days. (Love how you also keep it real, warts and all.)

One day I'll get there....dreams do come true...congratulations ....TELL me this, what is one thing you wish you had on the boat for the crossing?

@SailingParadiseFalls 3 месяца назад

Folding props - would have saved us about 6 days!! We had just about everything else😊

@SailingParadiseFalls 3 месяца назад

@TheDiverJim 3 месяца назад

So was this 7 years of working up to this point? Or just dreaming? Would really love to understand people’s timelines from decision to execution and the milestones it took. Our main focus for the last 2 years is trying to get boat money, now we are working on training too.

@SailingParadiseFalls 3 месяца назад

We discovered this lifestyle and made it a goal 7 years ago, we trimmed our budget and started actively saving towards it with the idea to do this when Davis graduated. We moved it up after COVID.

@TheDiverJim 3 месяца назад

@@SailingParadiseFalls that’s amazing. If you guys get to a point where i could pay you guys for an hr or 2 of your time for a call to talk budget estimates and strategies, I would really be grateful.

We have a 2023 Leopard, and our Quattro 5k blew twice, both while running the generator. In Georgetown, several other boats of different makes had the same problem. Sounds like a bad batch of Quattros

@SailingParadiseFalls 3 месяца назад

That really stinks!!! Hoping to hear news about our this week. I miss my 110v power!!

@Boody523 3 месяца назад

@@SailingParadiseFalls I bought a 3000 multiplus and it’s been flawless when the Quattro has been down. Easy swap out just no shore power option. $1200

@juliazentner681 3 месяца назад

I've known people use every inch of 300 ft chain they have anchoring there. They'd also say every one anchors to close and drags.. I hope you are ok and have bunches of fun!

@SailingParadiseFalls 3 месяца назад

We used almost 275ft in Fatu Hiva but other places have been much less. Yes, people anchor very close 😊

@KevinMoss72 3 месяца назад

Question for you two. After your first long passage, would you still recommend the Leopard - assuming, of course, you get the folding props?

@SailingParadiseFalls 3 месяца назад

Absolutely! Our buddy boat was also a Leopard 45 but 2021. We both felt very confident and safe during our crossings.

@TheDiverJim 3 месяца назад

So what was the deal with the check in person you guys paid? Did you guys have to pay everything again?

@SailingParadiseFalls 3 месяца назад

No, they just took several days after arrival to contact us. Check in fees with them was $500 for 90 days.

@TheDiverJim 3 месяца назад

@@SailingParadiseFalls ok, i was worried they took money and ran. Guess it was just the lax island mindset. Can’t wait. Looks so beautiful there. Reminds me of Kauai.
