How did yo make it through hurricane?

New subscriber here. Love the content, looking forward to seeing more.

Looks like you did a great job. I like how you used smaller hose to adapt the hose barb. Barnacle buster is a bit expensive. Not sure what the shelf life is but I always save it in a 5 gal bucket for another project later on. Don't like the worm gear hose clamps. I have started a new hobby of replacing mine with T-bolt hose clamps. Sizing is more critical but much better hold and they don't strip out.

Seems like the old dog is learning new tricks, at least your cool now

he's playing fetch with you! what a smart dog!

Looks like you had a great time sailing with Rudy. He is always very friendly and professional. Met him on the docks a few times. Glad to see you are keeping up to date on your video editing. My backlog is two years. I need to get editing.

Nice vid, I bet you noticed the difference in stability and room between the 2 vessels. Paige you should of jumped in the sea, although iI am not sure what would off happened to it. Not sure it looked fun with little cover when it was raining. The pics of the cloud formation were stunning. stay safe and have fun.

hat nicht viel mit Seemannschaft zu tun - im Rock und Perlenkette - vermutlich nur unter Deck und wenns schöner wird - possieren - ganz schlecht.

When y'all go to Deltaville Virginia? Let me know. I would like to meet you and have dinner

I see you did the first portion of that trip with Tony from Windward Sailing, that should be called out, as he is an excellent captain and instructor - as you both know very well. ;-) Nice video as usual, best of luck, we should catch up at some point.

Wow. I am in this video 3 times. 🚣‍♂ 🤣 Looks like you had a real adventure helping deliver Windwards boat. Can't wait to see her doing charters up this way. Edit: The marina puts the washer and dryer in the captains lounge when a hurricane is coming in case the laundry room floods.

Daniel"thrilled".... movie line? super green?

I really admire your grit. What you do would be very frightening to me, so watching you gives me a vicarious sailing experience.❤ ❤❤❤

Nice Vid, well at least now you know the deep blue sea sailing isn't for you, I suppose there is a huge difference between and catamaran and a single hull anyway, Our dog (Maggie) also hates the rain and normally refuses to go anywhere if it raining, looks like you all got pretty wet in it though. We also hate leaving Maggie when we go away and we are about to go for 2 weeks away and leaving her behind wont be easy. you guys stay safe

We have friends who are very experienced sailors, and they have a motto, "a gentleman never sails to wind". Yes, they're Brits! Choosing your conditions does not mean you're not sailors, it makes you smart. Also, finding what works for sea sickness is a very personal thing. We use meclizine starting 12-24 hours before departure and every 8 hours while underway. I (Geri) only take 1/2 dose because otherwise I'm really sleepy. For active nausea/vomiting, ondansetron is great for me, and useless for Shawn. It's a prescription med, but very safe. Most MDs will happily prescribe it for you if you tell them your plans. Also, ginger (chews, tea, etc) is great for nausea, and I'm planning to get Shawn a Relief Band (electric pulse) to try. Good luck finding your best solution.

Great video guys!

AAA+++ Well Done storm prep.

Let you know about condom efficacy? I'm not qualified 😅

Good to see your ok and doing some prep work which cant be a bad thing. Stay safe you two.

What was your learning curve for sailing before you felt confident enough to do it on your own? I am considering a similar move.

what @rhirwin10 said. Get a hand sensor, check everything, then replace the old sensor. and Ditto on the connectors. When the solenoid valve goes bad again, you make your connection for the new solenoid where it's easy to work instead of being bent over a hole. You can then simply screw that half of the water tight connector together. Loved the cooking! and the recipe. Thank you.

very well done! So much so, it will be our next Out Island destination. Thank you.

For the LP gas sensor I would move it higher away from the floor. Also make sure your battery voltage is good while you are cooking and no pump, compressor, or anything drops it. Next up is to replace the sensor, but for peace of mind I would get a second cheap detector to just make sure there is no leak.

Brave wearing a white shirt for a bilge bonanza.

Get a combustible gas Detector $8.47 Temu it work great

Do you all have a email?

My experience has been that propane sensors have a lifetime of between 3 -10 years and then become contaminated and unreliable. They are designed to fail "safely" ie. false positives of a propane leak. I would also check the wiring schematics for your Trident controller - it is not atypical to have two sensors -one at a low point by the galley stove and the other one in the propane tank cabinet or below it. The second one to catch leaking gas from the diaphragm, valve assemblies or solenoid. Two other tips is that by code you should use "Yellow" teflon tape vs "White" teflon tape. The yellow tape is approx. 3x thicker than white. What can be leak tight for hydraulic tights can be marginal for gases. BTW it does not escape me that you removed white teflon tape from the original or previous installation. Test your gas connections with soapy water or "Snoop". Small gas leaks can be insidious. T Two other inputs: (1) Many RV components are sold as "Marine" components -the only difference being 3X the price to the hapless sailor. Trident and Magma et al. shame on you.!! (2) I used to use marine heat shrink electrical connectors, when they don't work or fail you cut them out, restrip the wire and use a new one. The problem is that with each issue the wire lengths get shorter and shorter and shorter. I have now gone to Deutsch connectors which are considerably more expensive but they are completely waterproof and I have never had one fail. The money is well worth my peace of mind. If I have a spare component at the time I do a fix with Deutsch connectors I put a Deutsch connector of the same type on the spare. If the component ever fails, I can just plug and play the spare. The difference in quality is insane. Grand Prix and the US Military use them as reliability beatscost. Kudos for going after issues not directly in your knowledge wheelhouse. I'm shocked at how many people break out the credit card and aren't even curious.

Seems as though the sensor has reached its life expediency and needs to be replaced. They do expire. Or, you DO have a LP gas leak. It seems as if you only open the LP solenoid when you are using the stove. MAYBE, you have a leak and the leak accumulates at the floor level after it has been on awhile. I suggest leaving the LP on even while you are NOT using it and see if the detector activates. Love your videos.

My wife & I have been watching your videos for sometime What were your steps to being able to live a carefree lifestyle so that you could travel on your boat? We are also debt free. My wife and I are almost 60 years old. We would like to quit our jobs and move to Wyoming, and travel. We live in Colorado now. How do we make money so we can enjoy the care free life just like you are doing? Thank you for your advice & encouragement,

The food looked delicious, I hope Paige washed her hands after the bilge cleaning before she tucked into her grub

Are you able to get new lower ends and not even bothering with the inspector? How old is the rigging and what grade of stainless steel is it? It may just be time to replace it. I just had to get new chainplates. Great job. Stay safe.

Nice seeing you two and your dog at the marina. We waved a few times passing by before finding your channel. 👋

I really enjoy watching the places you go and the things you do on your adventures

Drake Marine Services on Amelia Island. John Drake, good guy. Helped me immensely with y Dean cat. Thanks, Andrew

I obviously didn't see this vid before the virtual meeting, which was great by the way, I thought you did ok on the paddle boards especially if that was your first time, as for the ice cream salted caramel for me please, The sun shades look great, so you don't have to take extra pics for me now. I would love to do more virtual meets, but I also appreciate its us looking in at you guys and that may be intrusive, anyway stay safe

I LOVE Winston!!! Thanks for the video. We are getting ready to move aboard an old yacht with our 4 dogs, so we're always interested in how other boaters make it work. Looking forward to watching your videos and following along with your adventures.

I apsire to one day be as good as you at Paddle boarding

Necessity is the mother of invention. I'm sure you'll figure out a work around.

Thanks for the tour. I enjoy your videos. You guys do a great job with them.

Can you rig some sort of self supporting shelving that still allows you to access your starboarf motor for fuel and oil checks... and that allows you to reach the back of the bed and side shelves? Access is key to making it work .. netting to stop things comming off the shelves onto the bed or floor.🫣

I would definitely like to visit and how to learn a catamaran I took a ride on one of them before and I loved it how much do you guys charge for someone cruising with you guys

Loved this video! Entertaining and educational!

Good place to store pearls?

Love the coffee idea. I have beans from Sri Lanka, turned to my wife and asked if we have a popcorn popper? Immediately I realized an Air Fryer would do the same thing, and sure enough, someone wrote an article on how to do it. You guys do such a great job showing the mechanics of sailing, cooking, and living on the boat. I've learned more from you than any of the other half dozen or more TH-camr sailors I have followed. Thank you so much for letting us into your adventures!

Oh so we have a invitation to visit, I'll sleep on the bed with the spare sails etc you don't to put yourself out for me,I've slept in a lot of worse places, I don't think Daniel makes you keep your clothes in a different location because of Winston, but thats a subject for another time, really entertaining vid and very nice to invite us all to look around your home, and being honest about the bits you don't like. You guys keep up the good work, enjoy yourselves and stay safe

You watch Star Trek on the bridge folks. Steps away from the stellar salon.

Most of the world use metric. 85mph = 137kph

Gday Another quote from Australia is "give it some herbs" Btw I'm binge watching from the start after seeing the last two episodes.

You need MORE pearls.
