Thanks so much for your comment. There have been many “firsts” but you tube has been an endless supply of info and support. We can’t thank the community enough for charging ahead and keeping us motivated. 🫶🏻
Yes! So great to meet you guys! and I hope we see each other out on the water this summer! Your boat was the midnight / moonlight gambler? Such a nice boat!! 🍻
Hi, we are a little behind on editing 🤦🏼 but will catch up one day... Lots of trips planned yet this spring then off to the west coast of the island again this summer. Where are you cruising these days?
It is so beautiful up here, wait until we get to the West Coast of Vancouver island episodes. That blew our minds, just amazing. Oh and the crabs were sooooo good. Thanks for watching.
I lived on “G” Dock at Sidney Marina, thanks for the memories. I sailed away in 2015 never to return, not because I didn’t love it there as I did love it but sailing around the world seemed move adventurous. Currently in Thailand.

Thank Scott. The plan is to follow suit. A few more years to restructure life and qualify for early pension and we are out of here. We may start out on our boat but hope to upgrade to a cat. How do you find the Lagoon 400 after a number of years on it?
Thanks for the video. There are so many anchorages still to explore. Montague would be great early in the year when it should be relatively easy to get a mooring ball or dock space compared to the height of summer when it is more busy. I believe running the diesel at low rpm for long periods can lead to carbon build up. They tend to like to be worked.
Old truck driver here.. Diesels like to work . Get em good and hot and as long as you aren't lugging them,(no black smoke) they will be happy. @@Sailingbc
Yes i have found 2200rpm is a sweetspot on speed and fuel economy. 2800rpm is my Yanmar max cruising according to manual. The engine only had 50 hours on it when we bought it and was 9 years old. Not even broken in yet...
When trying to catch your drone at sea, switch your controller to sport mode just before trying to catch it. That will over-ride virtually all your safety sensors and you can catch it by hand. Obviously, do that from underneath. Once you have it, simple flip it upside down and the props will stop.
Thanks. Did that for a bit and was still having issues where it would move while grabbing so now put black electrical tape over the sensors for full atti mode. Eventually going to make an actual handle I can grab. I am a bleeder but that’s another episode . lol.
It's hard to imagine all the 'first lessons' that have to be learned through experience. Thank you for sharing your journey ❤

Nice video!
Trick for cold water wet suit . Dump a few cups of warm water inside your neck front and back. It will give you 10 + minutes of warm diving
That’s a great hack! Thanks!
Way better than peeing. 🤣
Christophe and Cameo here(Black boat at 9:46) it was good meeting you at the pub that day. You’re really doing the miles. Good on you….

I’m consistently blown away by how beautiful it is there! Those crabs were huge I bet they were delicious!

Great video!! Looking forward to seeing you guys in a few months😎⛵️
Thanks Kiki… summer can’t come soon enough.
Love your channel so far, look forward to your future adventures.
Thanks Tom, we are a little behind on editing but have a whole bunch lined up. Thanks for watching.
Glad you got the drone back, and rescued your sailing underway clips! Too risky for me. Keep up the fun vids-looking forward to the next one!
Hey Jim, i am going to make a handle and see how that goes. If it works will make you one.
@@Sailingbc thanks, that would be great! So hope it works!

Thanks, we have checkmarked a pile of anchorages to hit up, can't wait. Good call on the diesel RPM, noted.
