Hi Sue, We're glad you're enjoying the videos! We can't believe we didn't hop up to San Jaunico until the very end of the season! We appreciate your feedback on our Spanish pronunciations. It's been a slow journey learning, and we have found that the cruisers life has made it a slow process since we are so rarely in towns and around Spanish speakers. That said, we've stepped up our game this season and are doing daily lessons on a great app called Mango from our library! Cheers!

@SailingSeaDreamofClyde totally get the learning curve. We purposefully put ourselves in situations that require us to use our meager spanish. There is a great TH-cam channel called Butterfly Spanish and in one of her earlier ones she goes over how to say the vowels. My personal nemesis are the numbers.. Working hard on those!

We'll check it out! Cheers!

That was a fun morning! Thanks for reminding us of it! 😄

Haha, indeed, it would seem that peaceful nature is never on the menu for some folks!

Cheers!

Cheers! Also FYI, we're going to make a new "offshore ready" boat tour video really soon that shows the improvements we've added to the boat. Keep an eye out if you're interested!

It really is a thrilling experience! Thanks for watching :)

Thanks! It certainly makes her birthdays extra special with that memory now!

Thanks! 😃

Cheers, Chantal! We forward to seeing you when we pull into Cowichan Bay on our homecoming Gulf Island tour next fall!

Thank you, and we're glad you enjoy the videos! Lots more coming as we start the journey home to British Columbia in the spring via Hawaii and Alaska. We feel lucky to have found Sea Dream in such nice condition and do indeed continue the legacy of keeping well cared for! Cheers from Baja!

@SailingSeaDreamofClyde looking forward to seeing them. Fair winds!

Thanks!!! 😊

Haha! I'll email you some!

Our pleasure! Cheers fellow Discus owner!

I'll look into that. I certainly don't love the current pump out method! It seems that Lavac systems are rare in North America, so I had never seen one until I bought Sea Dream of Clyde. Like you, I am most certainly sold on it! Compared to the Jabsco heads, Lavac are most certainly superior, indeed. Lots more content coming! We are back to weekly videos now, so watch for new ones on Thursdays. Cheers! -Trevor

We we're happy to help! That little fetch on P.E sure can kick up a nasty chop!

Haha! I ain't scared of no ghost!

We're glad you enjoy and appreciate the comment! We're back to weekly videos, so keep an eye for the next one soon!

Thanks! We're now about to set off again for the season. Lots of exciting videos coming up. Cheers!

I'll look them up! Cheers!

It's the small basin within the Puerto Escondido marina. Depending on what slip one is assigned, it can be tight to get into, but it is so nice and quiet back there, so it's worth the trouble in my mind. Also, as of February this year, the water was not metered in the chica basin, so you save some cash, too! If you'd like a less expensive option, the mooring field is pleasant. There is a weekly rate that is much less than daily. If you opt for the mooring field, you can fill up on potable water at the fuel dock either by pulling your up or with jugs. Enjoy your time around Loreto. It's a fantastic zone :) Cheers!

@ Thanks so much!

Our pleasure!

It was a basil plant with no plastics of any kind. It will have simply decomposed :)

Throwing a basil plant from San Francisco into the Sea of Cortez could have ecological consequences due to the potential for introducing non-native species into a new environment. Although basil is unlikely to thrive or spread invasively in a marine ecosystem, it could carry small organisms like bacteria, fungi, or even insects that aren’t native to the area. This can disrupt the local ecosystem, potentially harming native species or unbalancing existing relationships between marine and plant life. Also, ecosystems like the Sea of Cortez are particularly sensitive, hosting unique biodiversity. Introducing even small, seemingly harmless species from elsewhere is generally avoided in order to protect these environments from invasive species and diseases.

But otherwise I enjoyed the video.

Thank you for thinking so much of the environment, something we most certainly share with you. Regarding the old basil plant, I think we disagree on this one. I'm very certain that almost dead terrestrial plant will have quickly sunk to the sea floor, posing no threat to the local environment. On the other hand, the plethora of imported food flying all over the world most certainly does corrupt local environments. We believe disposing of organics in the sea well alway from land is the most responsible method of dealing with our food scraps while cruising. Sending it to a landfill would certainly pose more risk of spreading invasives while also creating methane gas when decomposing in an abiotic environment. Thanks for your throughful comment. :)

Cheers!

We do our best to share the experience! Check out our sister channel "Silent Sailing" where are starting to post voice-free videos that should allow the viewer to feel like they're aboard! youtube.com/@silent_sailing?si=yvX2arUNEywZIu25

Sailing for hope and love 💯%!

Thanks! 3 weeks to go until we're back on the boat!

Thanks Kevin!

Cheers! Working on getting back to weekly videos again. :)

Not weekly at this stage but when i have done a few projects. Gerard.

It was a real grade A week on the boat! Thanks, David!

It was quite the week around Loreto! Whales, dolphins, dorado, and oh so much great scenery!

@@SailingSeaDreamofClyde it is so pretty there. I hope you keep having lots of adventures, be safe & sail on❤️

Thanks! After a summer of working back home, we're heading back to the boat in just a few weeks to resume the adventures! Mexico for the winter, then across the ocean to Hawaii, Alaska, then home!

@@SailingSeaDreamofClyde that sounds so exciting, looking forward to your videos

It was so wild to wake up to! Cheers fellow Discus sailor!

@@SailingSeaDreamofClyde good you changed to a more secure spot with less waves and more distance to lee.

Hey Gerard! That's great your working ok making some videos. I'll have a look and comment on it to let you know what I think. Cheers! -Trevor

And we're so glad you reached out to us and shared those amazing photos from Sea Dream's early days! In a few weeks, we're going to meet the previous owners of SDOC who sailed her across the Atlantic and then trucked her across the continent to Vancouver! They live very close to my home base and had been searching for SDOC for years.

We certainly didn't miss those cold spells last winter. Cheers!

Cheers!

Cheers! I'll have a look at your channel :)

Loren was great to have aboard! Hopefully he and Zaia will make it down again this coming winter, too. Those dorado are very powerful fighters and are pretty good at shaking the hook when they jump like that. Fortunately, there seem to be lots of them, and they hit regularly!

Cheers! Life is pretty sweet in Mexico :)

Cheers!
