No wonders they are going extinc😂 maybe be a bit nicer?

The first time I learned about the Norsea's 3.5 foot draft and it's capabitly to go around the world I was amazed, but watching your videos, it seems like it hinders your speed all the time, have you considered adding an extra piece of wood or sth to the bottom of the keel to extend it?

Hogfish Maximus is such a great example of a well thought out boat for liveaboard cruising. Chris Morejohns blogs are a wealth of knowledge on boat design and construction

For those deck prisms just buy or borrow one. Wax it up and make a mold with some silicone rubber. Then just cast a few out of clear epoxy. Spray a coat of outdoor polurethane on the outside and install. It wont last as long as a glass one but you can make more any time you want

How long does it take your solar to charge those batteries lol? Are you constantly having to hook up to shore power and pay Marina fees just to charge your motor bank or constantly run a generator to charge your bank which in return uses fuel? Or are you actually able to 100% power that engine off the sun. Meaning as long as the sun is out you are able to bring in more energy than you are using up ?

What an amazing little boat.

The Juan de Fuca Straight can kick up, once and a while..not offshore, but can occasionally imitate it..

raised on the Puget sound the fisherman had seal Salut m80 to scare away the seal and the dolphins. had a Columbia 26 one night had a whale left the boat out of the water wake you up in a hurry.

Someone murdered an Orca offf the coast of Portugal, and then these attacks started happening, and have been spreading. Orcas have real language. It's primitive compared to dolphin in or whale language, but more then good enough to spread the story of a murder. Probably an important Orca who was killed. So the story has been spreading by word of mouth. Sound travels great distances underwater. They will eventually all find out. Theories that ignore the intelligence and language abilities of Orca are moronic.

Wow, amazing they got out with minimal damage

New rules say that you should head for the shore with full power. Sailed there last summer, plan to return back north this summer. Those orcas at Portugal atlantic coast orcas are very rare, only few left... Also had a close counter & friends lost their rudder.

Your real man with real views.

Why did you choose the sea anchor as opposed to heaving to?

Nazi Honolulu. You must buy this insurance plus that one plus that one, you must perform like seal around bouys. I would skip it and head straight for Marquesas. Who needs land, anyway?

Excellent info. I am looking for one of these, so I can ship it by container to SE Asia where I live.

Watched the series.....i would watch again, you and your family are fun to watch. If i wasn't so broke i would support you.... lol. Enjoy the time with your daughter as much as you can.

Hogfish Maximus is a great example of a self-built cruising sailboat that works. It isn't fancy but it is well built, safe and functional. Chris Morejohn is an experienced boat builder, designer and sailor.

Hi, What Propeller are You using ?

Nice pizza shef ollso good

Cant find patreon link.

When Fiji is this

Sad and amazing both, somehow. Thanks.

Loved it! Thanks! Merrilea says “Hey” to Becky! Merry Christmas🎉 ( from Bill&Merrilea v.)

Thanks for sharing your walk through the Titanic Exhibition. Merry Xmas.

I really like the Nor'Sea 27 design ! ! ! They sorta look like a Flicka 20 Big Beautiful grown up sister ! ! The forward Cabin V-birth is a wonderful design but I'm really lovin the AFT CABIN !

Good to see One Life, glad you had the opportunity for off-screen meet-up.

Tofer! Just spent hour catching up with your trip from CA to Fiji. Glad it went without major problems. Barb and I are still cruising the MoonBus and enjoying it. Best of luck with the health problems. I'm sure you'll make the right decisions for yourself and the family. Hi to Becky.

Tale of a French press... Hi Kristofer! I recently came across your adventures aboard Mig. I'm a novice sailor, but have had the round-the-world dream since I was a young tyke. I've also LOVED (and lusted after) the Nor' Sea 27 since I first became aware of them many years ago, so discovering your TH-cam channel was exciting! When I retired a few years ago I decided that, if anything like this was going to happen, it was time to get about it. I figured I'd start with some professional guidance and signed up for an ASA 101/103/104 course out of La Paz, Baja. We had JUST anchored for our first night (7 days, no civilization) when a faulty cabinet latch disengaged and the cabinet door fell open and smashed our glass French press to pieces. All five aboard witnessed it - with horror. Given the seriousness of the situation, creative minds went into overdrive. We ultimately determined that (a) the plastic colander, (b) a large kettle, & (c) paper towels could be deployed to produce the essential nectar. A followup analysis of the paper towel inventory informed us that, while we would MAKE it (barely), we no longer had any "paper towels". What we had was a BARELY SUFFICIENT supply of "coffee filters". We carried on, had a great week, and had coffee every morning (and often in the afternoon). Cheers! (BTW - I have since acquired my first boat - a Sage 17, which is a direct descendant of the Montgomery 17, another Lyle Hess design.)

I see your video is older. Have you updated to run the router/system from your house batteries rather than an inverter yet? One less thing to fail, and more efficient by eliminating the losses thru conversion.

Damm fine looking Pizza, that Marina provides some great services.

So you never talked about weight difference Combustion - electric Does make a difference for ballast?

Great! Do you have a diagram of your connections and the detailed descriptions of the components that you have?

Hey guys just some Nor'sea 27 questions since you now have a few thousand miles under the keel. Would you have preferred an aft cockpit where Norm would be sharing the same cabin in a quarter berth? or do you prefer the privacy? When you two sailed across the gulf in evie may did the raised coaming Norm installed help in keeping some water out.(what was that material?) Norm since you are a guy of larger stature if you could do it over would you have bought a larger boat like a baba 30 or another instead of a Nor'sea? Could you tell any difference in the heating up of the cabin using Norm's diesel stove versus Tophers propane stove. Yeah you guessed it, I'm looking at Nor'seas and gathering ideas. Thanks.

How did rate Bodega bay , I was working over there & my friend has his 37’ sailboat there , have a good time at home

❤ Fair winds and following seas!!! Been on since the beginning of Mig, and I’m in for long haul. Let’s go!

Keep going

Capt, number one take care of yourself you are in my thoughts and prayers, number two, thanks for bringing us along and sharing with us your journey. I am a patreon bc you share this content, the journey, not mention the DIY videos with us. It surely is worth a few bucks. Enjoy the break and your family

Do what you can for as long as you can as long as it makes you happy! Here’s to living life to the fullest. Enjoy your time with family. I for one will be here to the end whatever that looks like.

Thanks for the update! Say hello to the family from S/V Christa (and her former Capt)

Keep going til you cant get your leg over the rail !! Live life now for yourself or someone will do it for you and have all the fun!!

Great update Tofer! Thanks! Sorry to hear about the tremors. Praying you’ll get good medical care for the long-haul. So glad you are making this trip !

Always remember...those who can't, criticize... seems like some people are compelled to whine about anything, just so they can get their post online. Don't like the content, go make your own. Love your channel, have followed for a long time. Norman is a hoot. Hope your continue on your voyage. I'll be watching. Thanks for sharing.

Looking forward to your sailing adventures. Sweet van!! We are of similar minds. Been small class B van shopping for years and was about to buy a 2007 road trek 190 in Tampa FL then the hurricane hit. Got a 2017 Carado Banff in LA as a salvage vehicle-stolen and electronics ripped out so it will be my project for the winter. Fair wind and following seas. Dean

Hi Kristopher - I watched your video this morning, and it was very timely. We have a close friend who recently found out she has Parkinsons, so I have been learning a lot. You have a great attitude and we know you will have the same determination and strength you have shown with living your dream of circumnavigating the world with Norm and MiG. Bruce and I were just wondering what you would do once you accomplished that. Now we know after seeing your tour of your beautiful van! It will be time to come home and bask in the love and support of your family and friends. Maybe we will see you in ANC if we get there before you set sail again. Take good care!

Trying to send a comment

Wishing you all the best. My older brother has Parkinson’s Disease. If it is any comfort it took many years for it to progress so I hope you decide to continue the journey. He had the ‘Deep Brain Stimulation’ procedure and it helped quite a bit fyi. Thanks for the effort that it takes to produce and upload the vids. It’s appreciated.

Love that little van man. No apologies for the vids man. Just put the content out.

Ahoy Kristofer, I am hopeful for you & Norm to be able to continue your adventure around our blue marble!

Kristofer, be healthy!
