Stay safe with that crazy weather out there in the Caribbean !

Ha ha! Welcome to your new life. Check your privilege at home. Bon voyage.

Welcome to Roatan, it was fun to meet you ☺️

Good to depart at last. Sailing again! Too bad you can't swim in the Dulce, but it seemed like a pleasant journey down the river. And back on the ocean, how exciting to see the Dolphins come over for a visit! Liked the Maddie cam. Utila is a nice stop, of many to come we expect.

The device you are missing is not the BMS they have a BMS inside each battery, You are missing a V.E. Bus BMS which talks to the system. Each of your batteries have Bluetooth which talks from the BMS. I truly can not see how they can charge so much for each battery. $5,500 I could have got 60kw of battery storage. You got 30kw for around $15,000. When I built my 60kw battery storage system for my house it costs me $9,000 2.5 years ago so you see how much prices have dropped.

You should say LFP instead of Lithium Ion. LI are prone to runaway current and catch fire. LFP are so much safer.

I know how frustrating it is playing the waiting game. It’s been very interesting seeing all the dots that have to be connected to get work done from order to completion. We take so much for granted in our life in our part of the world! Glad you’re close to setting sail❤

interesting enough the videos are getting better and better!! Keep at it! Your babies are goanna thank you some day for this adventure which will help them be more unique than they can describe for a while... and Mr. Sailing Big Lost, I encourage you to be a bigger part of the VLOG... great to see Mrs. Sailing Big Lost but would like to see more of what your thoughts are . certainly, you're not as dull as what is going on with your channel, seeing as how much is being done but when it comes the a channel?.... build it from the beginning ... I am viewing for a family sailing, and you are in large part, just not in the family which isn't true... Thanks for being willing to VLOG in a raw fashion, this is helpful, look back in a few years and when the sailing is actually going with the place-to-place adventures I am sure your babies will be shining and hopefully Mr. Sailing Big Lost will find his rhythm as well. Many of us soon to be sailors are gaining valuable insight into some things to expect as we begin our journey. would be helpful to hear his insight as well.... May not be his thing but obviously it is your thing so why can't it be his thing.... kind of how Sailing Vagabond started so why not SBL!!

Good to see those batteries, and.... more troubles, but at the end it seems you're back on track. Smart move with the labels to stop the bad juju, lol. Unusual, to have to evade a gator on a shopping trip?! 🐊 Rooting for ya, good luck.

Omigosh! It seems everyday brings a new problem! Just like owning an RV!!Hope you get to “pull anchor” soon and catch up with your friends! XO M

Cant imagine being stuck on a boat with small kids. How miserable.

Great info on the life raft!

So very happy she was well celebrated ❤❤❤

Don’t know how I missed Maddie’s birthday ❤🎉but there is another birthday party in a bag waiting at Roatan I hope🫶❌⭕️grams

good to see the raw realities of boat life at the dock

I'm glad each time I see a new episode on this promising channel. As you probably know, many sailing channels have spent a lot of episodes at dock doing maintenance; that is (unfortunately!) not unusual. Delays with shipping of parts are not uncommon. At least you have time to complete the finishing touches. I enjoyed this episode featuring Maddie, helping with boat work and enjoying her celebrations. The cruising community is awesome. Also enjoyed the parade which featured the local equine culture. Good stretch of the legs there.

Hard to imagine hot & humid like that here in Idaho! Thanks for the great video of your hike, the views, the bridge‼️

Connor screaming at 706! LOL. What are all the butterflys or moths?

We really appreciate your family sharing your journey, right from the beginning, learning to sail and getting certified! Bravo! We're right there with you!

A wonderful jungle experience, especially on the suspension bridge. Aside from that heat, which a YT viewer is spared. Was a tough trek for sure, but the family overcame the challenge and I think all emerged with improved health and knowledge. Good hobby for Maddie, she's got talent. I looked up the Bay Islands and they look amazing. Hope you got those batteries.

Se llama machete

Jajaja

Miss you finn!!

Just watched a couple of your videos … you’re working HARD … getting sick !?! … doing schoolwork … sounds pretty normal and looks like quite the adventure (except for the illnesses everyone but Conor (apparently) suffered. Thanks for letting us ride along on your adventure! Stay safe and healthy; we love you and miss you!

So interesting to see all the work you’ve done & are doing! I’m excited to be bringing down bits & pieces that will be used in your efforts. I enjoy knowing what’s going on in the country of Guatamalo like the torch run‼️Thanks for the update. Love seeing Maddie & Finn in action❤

Good to see all the fixes and improvements, making the _Lost_ home better than ever.

Very nice place & the food looks fantastic! What are prices like?

Food is great and has many options for kids! Looking forward to sharing some Meals with you❤

Looks like fun! Was the food good? Can’t wait to get a taste of local cuisine! And to see those smiling faces in person ❤

What a treat watching your Sunday adventure on our big screen TV! I think it’s great how you’re exploring the area and taking us along! Maybe the kids can get extra credit for what they’re learning‼️Love to you all, char/mom/ grams💞

Nice trip. That lake is a wonderful place, rich in biology and culture. Liked the tropical flora, the birds, the lily pads, the frog. (Not so much the moths lol.) The castle is really awesome, enjoyed your historical review. Good choice of game.

Looks like such fun!!!! Glad to see you’ve found families you can enjoy spending time with‼️

Kelly it was hard to see you so sick & not rush over to help, offer Healing Touch & love, cook etc. interesting to see the clinic. I’m grateful there was help readily available & you are now well❤Always appreciate seeing the kids and my own “kid”. Knowing more about life on Big Lost helps me feel connected. Maddie is stepping up as co-anchor of the Big Lost story!!! Good for you MADDs‼️ Miss you all. Looking at flights✈️. Love to all.

Hope you’re feeling better Kelly , it’s the worst being sick like that !

Very calming

Absolutely…boat repairs made convenient with help & materials, side trips with new friends, always loved the charm of our travels to MEXICO mainland & Baja in the small of the grid villages‼️

Annoying voice

No

We encounter here the downside of a tropical biome, of all that lovely flora and fauna: bugs! Particularly in this case, a microscopic one. The bug you got looks really awful and I'm glad to see you recovered. So true about the blessings of clean water! I myself much prefer "Big Lost" to "Big Dog". A humorous name for novice explorers in the wild, I think... will engender some smiles. "Lost" but indeed you _found_ a refreshing lifestyle. Homeschooling appears to be going well. Of course, that new power supply will be a boon.

Totally enjoyed watching this episode of your adventure! Thanks for letting us share the time with you!

thank you for sharing your adventure with us! I smiled through the whole thing although I held my breath when the kids were all floating in the fast moving river to Conor! These videos keep you "close" so I don't feel that you are so far away. Be safe. We pray for you every day!! Love love love you all! XO M

This nature reserve is a visually stunning place, aside from all the nice swim holes. Some of my favorite scenes: 14:35, 18:16, 20:44, 27:33. The jungle trek along the river and the ride down were fascinating. Prehistoric, yes. Kept expecting to see a pterodactyl fly over. That lodge is an awesome treehouse. Where there is so much sun, water, and flora there will be bugs also, and I can imagine those bites and discomforts. But, well worth it here I think. Thanks again for sharing.

What model is the boat?

My dream. And I’m 70.

Lovely journey up the jungle river. Wondering if you spotted any raucous monkeys or colorful birds in the canopy. More relaxing, for sure, than the work regimen you related. The approach in the tender also fascinating... definitely entering the tropics, could be a jaguar lurking. Maddie thinking of a friendlier cat, perhaps she would take care of it. Nice to meet up with fellow cruisers holed up in the area. A serious matter with your water supply, hope you get that worked out soon. The improvements you're planning should make camp life on the Big Lost more comfy. Well wishes.

Oh boy. The fun of boat repairs, and in a foreign language. I enjoyed the catch-up story summarizing how you got here and then the hassle with needing to change marinas. Someone must know what the bridge height really is (probably in metric) but that should give you a go- no go on getting safely by it. And you have a drone aboard? Fun aerial shots. A small suggestion: When you are going from one place to another give a verbal of the end points so one can picture it on a map. I am really enjoying these vblogs. Keep 'um coming.

Really fun video to show what life is like on first crossing. I guess as expected, mechanical problems to hassle and then also some boredom to deal with. The time lapse of storing provisions was fun and gives a feel for the hassle of putting it all together under a deadline. So far so good and, as before, well done with the video.

great start, it will be interesting to see how the next 2 months go

"in stunning HD 1080p quality" :D it might have been stunning 15+ years ago. Thanks for the video though!
