This family is an inspiration to all of us who have dreams. I am privileged to call Karen my friend and she is an incredible person as are her beautiful children ❤️ this family has been through so much but always with dignity and love. I cant wait to be with to be with you all again in the BVI ❤lots of love to you all xxxx
So sorry for your loss! RIP My wife and I are in the same “boat” We started sailing Hobies in 2000, my wife got breast cancer in 2016, sold our house in 2021, bought a 38 foot Morgan and started sailing offshore California Channel Islands. Just getting the hang of it, falling in love with our boat, living on it, then boom cancers back, stage four. The big difference is my wife could no longer sail or even live on the boat. So cancer literally took the wind out of our sails. Treatments have made her somewhat comfortable by not really, so no chance of sailing, not even short day sailing. Now we have the boat for up sale, the dream is gone. Moving on, we’re still vertical, so just struggling to cope with our new reality. Best to you all, whatever you do.
We are so sorry to hear this! Our hearts are breaking for you both. Please take in every tiny moment you guys get together. We hope your wife is doing okay. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time 🤍🤍🤍
We are at anchor in Le Marin and Saoirse is right next to us (Mulan) in the Anchorage. I saw the youtube logo and hooked you up, since I thought, we may have some topics to share. Now seeing this video, I am really sad and sorry for your loss. But seeing the videos, you can be happy and proud, that you could have a great time together. RIP.
I never met Robin , but I followed the channel for a long time. I admired the quiet man of the channel. He was a true craftsman who chose to live his dream ! Hold on to those happy memories. Remember the good times!
I am sorry for your loss. And remember life goes on. So live it to its fullest. And I believe your Dad did just that. So I know he would want ya'll to do the same. So keep making videos. We love to keep up with your family and to see what ya'll are getting up too. I watch all your videos and couldn't wait for the next one. I was hoping to see your sails ⛵️ on the Horizon someday from our lanai. And it could happen. Ok ya'll stay safe out there and live life. Until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii!
Thank you for your kind words 🙏🏼 thank you for always being such a loyal subscriber and following our journey for the last few years. We will try and carry on with videos when my mom gets here 🤍
Guys, so sorry to hear of the passing of robin. While it is hard to accept, his wish that he lived his remaining time without the crippling effects of chemo was his choice. Unless it is better than 75% chance of success it is hard for anyone to undergo that treatment. Trust me I witnessed that myself with my dad 40 years ago and it still haunts me to this day to see his being destroyed and then his bowels and stomach destroyed with crippling pain. Rest in peace Robin, you are in gods hands now and safe from pain and suffering.
Thank you 🙏🏼 we respected his decision and wouldn’t trade the many amazing months we had with him before things started going downhill. We are so sorry to hear that you went through a similar thing with your dad. It is not easy watching your loved ones go through it 💔
Your family is so loving and is an inspiration for all of your viewers. I really enjoy watching your adventures and very sad to hear of the passing of your father. I am from Trinidad and Tobago , but grew up and in Canada, after watching your videos in Trinidad I subscribed to your channel and have been following since. Your father spent his final years with the people who ment the most to him separated from the rest of the world on a beautiful yacht. ❤
Thank you to all of you for taking us along on your journey. Throughout Robin was the quiet, steady presence, and mostly kept himself in the background. This video is a very fitting tribute to Robin and shows so clearly the beautiful, closely knit, family you have. So clear to see you all respect each other and are open to each of you being who you truly are. And with giving each other that space come the fiery moments that act as a signpost to the beautiful times that make the blessed memories. You shared those blessed times with us in your videos. It is very special that you are able to share with us those very tough times you had. I wish you all the very best for the future. I'll stay subscribed because I hope to see the odd update from your lovely family at some point.
I’m so very sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. What an amazing man with a truly inspiring story. Thanks for making this video - it must have been very tough for you. We hope you carry on making videos - your journey continues ❤!
What an inspirational story of love and wanting to live life to the fullest and to do it alongside the family you love is so special. So glad you all made amazing memories together. I have enjoyed following your story especially as I had met your family an a few occasions while living in Ballito many years ago If any of you are ever on the east coast of the USA stop in and say hi We live just outside of Wilmington NC Keep living the life he wanted for you.
So many people work flat out their whole life and never get a chance to live their dreams, Robin managed to buck that trend and lived his, I'm sure as he passed he was happy and content with what he achieved in life, hopefully celebrating this knowledge will make it easier for you all 🤞We all have to pass some time, at least Robin lived a good life and left the world a better place than he found it 👍
So sorry for your loss. What a tough journey! But I'm so glad you had such wonderful moments together and I'm sure that your Dad would be delighted that you're living a wonderful life. All the best for the future.
A lovely video that’s really hard to make 😪. It was August last year when my dad passed away at 92 during an afternoon sleep in his bed at home which was a comfort to us. My mom went through a similar path to Robin a few years before and it’s soul destroying seeing how the cancer destroys a loved one’s body😢. It was great to get to meet you all in Trinidad and shew was it really seemingly such a long Hurricane season. What memories you all made together hey. Not many can say that ! It will be super if Karen ends up in the BVIs with you 2. We have just arrived in the Philippines and started to explore this part of the world. SE Asia has some lovely waters and it’s crazy to think we have been out here from the Caribbean for 2 years already.
Hi Mike, we are so sorry to hear about your dad 💔 but what a peaceful way to go. We will always remember our special times with you and Maja and how much my dad LOVED maja’s baking 💗 we hope to be able to catch up with you guys some time over here in the Caribbean. Enjoy your adventures in Asia ⛵️
RIP SAILING HERO❤
Sending you all so much love! We treasure the time we spent with you xx
