It's funny how your video starts with some nice waves. And here in Hawaii today we have over 40 feet plus waves hitting north shore today. Ok, I want to wish ya'll a Very Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 and Happy New Year 🎉! Until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! Aloha and Cheers 🍻
Alie and Ben, WOW! What a year you two have had. Some lows and many highs. What a way to end the year with an amazing episode. Merry Christmas and wishing you a blessed 2025. Cheers!
It's a hell of a video. Great Tatoo. I've got a tell ya. I've ridden some big waves back in the day and smacked the bottom several times. The difference between those waves and the ones in Tahiti is the power when they hit that reef and that hard and sharp bottom. I couldn't do it today, and I wouldn't have done it back in the day. What a great experience for you both. I'm glad you were able to make it after all you have been through. And now you're married! It's been a good couple of months. Take care guys - BTW, nice anchor.
Wow guys a great video, as for those waves Alie I have never seen anything like that, I'm not surprised you felt strange as the boat went up and down. Great to see you've got a new Anchor, it looks great. Well wishing you a Merry Christmas and hopefully 2025 will be a good year for you both, you sure deserve it ❤❤ 💪👍👍🇳🇿
Very cool, but holy cow, that was five whole months ago! So curious where you are now, and how you're spending your holidays. Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas!
wow things have changed since i was there in 82 ,the marina was kust one row of boats with a big chinese junk in the middle which was a bar and boy , did i ever get hammered ,it was the owners birthday lol
As a Mantus dealer, I highly recommend you review the recommended swivel attachment to the anchor.... there is a reason to do it as Mantus instructions specify.
Curious on the angle of the shank with how he mounted it. We have the exact same anchor but have it set in line with the bottom of the anchor. (How it shows in the photos in the manual) Is one way better than the other?
Hey guys! I’m a Canadian, from Alberta and I’m a huge fan!! I’m so glad Kiana survived the reef and you guys are still out there taking the world on! I have questions…unfortunately I couldn’t make the zoom on December 7th because I was having a double mastectomy. Currently I’m laid up healing and living vicariously thru you two!! I’m curious how does living in the boat affect your healthcare and citizenship back home. In my research I found that Canada has some pretty strict rules about how long you need to be in country to have things like healthcare. You also have to have a permanent address here if I’m not mistaken..how do you mange these things. Good willing I’ll be cancer free in 2025 and I won’t waste another minute dreaming from my couch. I desperately want to get out there amd be healthy enough to do it. Wish me luck
The CQR style of anchor are pretty much the worst anchors. People give them away in Mexico. The modern anchors which are the new version of the Bruce are great. Like mantis.
So nice to see guys on the other side of that disaster. Good luck in the future.
So glad to see you two running around doing boat stuff but out having fun also. Thanks again. Now....onward!! Love ya. Stay safe. 🙏❤
. glad to see you guys having fun and not having to stress about your boat, you guys deserve fun.happy holidays.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
fantastic vid you two. thank you again for letting us live the dream a little along with you. Stay safe

I hope both of you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I also hope you have a better 2025 year. Thanks from Florida.
Super groovy episode. You guys rock. Really love the surfing filming, (surfer myself), and the arm tattoo was killer cool.

New Year’s Eve! Happy new year!
Great video, as usual. I wish you both a fantastic Christmas and some incredible sailing. Watching from Queensland, Australia.

Those waves; what a thrill!!!!
Really cool to see all the progress but WOW didn't realize the posts were 5 months+ in the past.
Very cool, but holy cow, that was five whole months ago! So curious where you are now, and how you're spending your holidays. Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas!
Ben that’s a beautiful tattoo!!
wow things have changed since i was there in 82 ,the marina was kust one row of boats with a big chinese junk in the middle which was a bar and boy , did i ever get hammered ,it was the owners birthday lol
Perhaps a good idea to find out what the tattoo means before getting it
Wow time flies - the Olympics😮 was 6 months ago

Hi Kristy thanks for the message! Yes we have travel insurance while abroad Good luck with your recovery and all the best in 2025! Good luck:)
Shoot! Merry Christmas!!
Small fishing weights 30lb each! lol Happy xmas
well that was pretty cool.
Did you see all the broken boards on the road down to Teahupo’o?
I'm not sure what is more impressive. That those little fishing weights are 30 pounds each or that Alie can lift 90 pounds so easily with one arm.
What! No reading the instructions 😂
Hope i could go there some day!
What a beautyfull island guy’s ❤️ enjoy ☀️
Love the tattoo 💪🏼👌
Keep the paper that tells you what the symbols of that tattoo mean! How is Bruce doing?
❤❤

Yes, those old CQRs and the Asian copies are really good - at plowing! The new generation of anchors are so much better.
Magnificent tattoo... I'm sure there is a symbol in there somewhere, for surviving a shipwreck...
First!
Don't you know that you're supposed to throw away the Instructions? Just Say'n
Wow, can’t find something better than a tattoo to spend the Patreon money on?
