Yup- Vet said even fully indoor cats can get fleas. They come in on other people or items brought from outside.

That's awesome! We're headed your direction today! Leaving this evening, headed for Long Beach.

Maybe the video didn't show the angle very well in order to see the support. So this is a 3 inch shaft supported in the chuck and it was in the center of the shaft at the coupling end - We trust James Knight and the machinist who has been doing this 50 years. No deflecting here :)

Thanks! Our middle kiddo is a graphic design artist and drew that whole series for us ❤

You know the nightmare all too well! 😅

Thank you!! 😁

We're so grateful this challenge is over :)

Thanks! Can't even express how happy we are :)

Right?! We are so relieved! Thanks :)

It’s been a journey…but we’re on our way!

Thanks! It was a tough one, but we're all set to enjoy some sunshine...and our new chairs!

Thanks, we're finally getting there!

Thanks- we’ll be there soon!

When I was in the states, I was able to order them from a Canadian online pharmacy. Cinnarizine is the medicine, Stugeron is the brand name. Just google Canada pharmacy and you'll find a bunch of options....or just come on down to Mexico!

Thanks so much! That's so cool, what a small world! Cheers to you and Indigo!

Yeah - they weren't super helpful - need some chairs? :)

@mvnoeta haha - if only you hadn't left Washington with them 🤣

Right! And safer :)

We were definitely living on the edge with those folding chairs 😂 Way more comfortable ( and safe) now!

@@Bob-bo8ik Me too 😂😭

We hear you! The 57 is the perfect size for us - and Gilligan! Thanks Kristina, for the shoutout.

Right?! Who knew! Will we see you when we get to Ensenada? 😊

@@johncottis9746 Hi! We’re running Time Zero Professional. We’ve used TZ before, but this pro version has some really nice features!

@@Janchez Hi Steve! Great to hear from you. Yeah, glad we got out of there, we may not have found a window til next year! The bow slap is an annoying sound that we’ve gotten used to in head seas. In fact, on our 50, we didn’t know there was such a thing and got it in Long Island Sound- scared the crap out of us. Fortunately Nordhavn had written an article about it, so when I Googled it, I learned the boat was not, in fact, breaking in half…just a bow slap noise 😅

@@mvnoeta Thanks for the note, I was curious so I had to ask. In the video the noise didn't seem that bad but we all know it's tough for a video to capture everything well. Some of the noise just sounded like a wave slapping the side of the bow. Around the 12:50 mark in the video you did catch a couple sets of waves that really helped show how rough it was. You guys did a true shake down cruise, hopefully the rest of the way will just be cruise🙂

Thanks Ryan - it may have just become a tradition we'll carry forward. Yeah, that land sick is a weird one!

We are still in San Francisco - maybe another 7-10 days. I got the paperwork fixed!! I went to Ensenada last week and sorted it out. So as soon as a weather window and Pat's schedules line up, we'll start heading south....stay tuned! Enjoy your time in Cabo!

Thanks! Every once in awhile, on a big one, something will fall off a counter or out of a shelf. We always leave it where it fell and say "that's where it wants to be!" I do clear off the galley counters and put some things in the sink - but other than us falling about, boat parts and things in the boat seem to stay where we left them....usually :)

Hey Jordan! So glad you're still with us. The dream is definitely alive! Hope momma and baby are doing well!

Enjoy the journey, you're going to love it! We loved our 46! If we weren't living aboard full time with 2 teens, a dog and a cat, we would probably still have ours. Hope to see you out there!

Thanks so much! That video was a blast to make and share. Yeah - the chairs are definitely not a new trend in power boating....wouldn't recommend it :)

It was a long time coming, but we're finally on our way! (Super gourmet!) ;)

Thanks!! It was named 'Ocean' when we bought it in 2017, we renamed it to Noeta. The people who bought it from us in San Francisco renamed it, but I don't remember what it was called. It was N4637.

Nice video thanks ❤ greetings from Ibiza Spain

Gracias! Saludos :) Would love to get over there one day!

Taking a break is a great idea. I have done a fair amount of West coast cruising. Have 4 people makes it so much easier than 2. And if you had your Stidds that would help a lot.

We finally got our Stidds! Next legs should be a more comfortable ride!

I'm sure we'll meet one day! That's how it always seems to work out. Good luck with Grandkito - amazing vessel!

Glad you're enjoying the channel! We really liked the widebody, made a huge difference in the salon and master - sometimes it made docking on the port side a challenge, but we always figured it out. We've got lots more to come!

Boaters make the best community! So my watch is a Garmin Swim - I use it for open water swimming, it maps and measures salt water swims. It doesn't really serve any boat purpose. Kat's is to track running as she is an avid runner. I wonder if they make a specific one for boaters? :) Thanks for watching!

Great idea! Yes - we should be back there in a few weeks and we will add this to our 'back in Mexico' video. Thanks!

This is such a great system they have in place! Makes for REALLY affordable fuel.

Sooo many whales! We were on the same migration pattern as they were :)

@@Lighthouse6b Yes! Good point- We have one! And I kept a few that expired in recent years- CG regs say you label them as EXPIRED and keep them separate. But I didn’t want to keep 20 year old ones on board- I didn’t trust the integrity. 😅

Any food grade mineral oil is good. We used Clark's - it has a nice smell :) It will make it look like new!

If they are scaled at the wrong interval’s then they are not accurate.

I realize that we can see if there is fuel and about how much...but we discovered Nordhavn puts the markings on while the boat is on the hard, while being built. So the measurements are incorrect when the boat is floating. One side was off by 50 gallons! With Pat being a pilot, he likes to know exactly what we are working with at all times - so knowing the fuel is 'a few inches from the top' isn't good enough for him :) It didn't take long and now we have peace of mind of knowing exactly what we have. Thanks for watching!

@@JackBass9 Then they have been made wrong. They do not need to be calibrated.

@@Bob-bo8ik True but a lot of things are made wrong. The gas gauge on my jeep is not accurate.

That is not a sight gauge.

Really he could have been way closer- no attention to detail 😂

Just finishing up the southbound video now! (Should be out by Sunday). But we stopped in Crescent City, then San Francisco. We generally run 3-4 hour sleep shifts, but that didn't work so well this time as I got super sick initially....good times. We stayed within a couple miles of shore, to avoid some bigger seas and only saw a couple crab pots - not too bad!

@@mvnoeta Looking forward to your next video. Going to be in Cabo first two weeks of November. Would you happen to be stopping around then on your way south?

Enjoy the sunshine! Cabo won't be one of our planned stops....we'll likely be rounding it in the last 3-4 weeks of November and then head either across the Sea to Puerto Vallarta or up the Baja to Loreto...haven't decided yet :) But have a great time!

@@davidevans8357 Good point! No- it’s NOT in Mukiltio- I didn’t know that was the name of an actual business. I’ll see if I can add a note on the video or description to clarify. Thanks for pointing that out!

Awww- thanks! We really appreciate hearing that! We’ve got more coming!

Thanks 👍 He always has words of wisdom!

Yikes!! Good luck! Not sure on the actual cost of the prop shop as they discounted their service since it was such a nightmare. I hope all goes well for you!

Thanks! 😂Awe ‘the chairs’- welp 2 months ago we ordered new STIDD chairs- they ended up taking way longer than anticipated. So, just before we left Washington, we bought these tall camping chairs! They work fine in calm seas- not so much in big swells. I may have tipped over once or twice 😅 Still waiting on our STIDD chairs!

@@Genxtrucker72 Exactly! And we don’t blame him at all- the guy didn’t do his job! Thanks for watching!

@@TKFourTwoOne Thanks so much!! I think we are headed south finally- but we appreciate the offer!
