Yeah- sorry, I kinda forgot my English after many years in Norway& learned all the terms in Norwegian - so, I am at a loss for (English) words often... 🤪😌
Thank you, Judy! 😊 We learn step by step. Always something to learn & improve on. Thanks for reaching out. Stay tuned - the adventures keep getting better. 👍⛵
Is that how you usually talk in your family? Serious question. You speak to them in English, they reply in Norwegian? I may be mistaken but you said you are American and your husband is Norge, right?
Yes 👌 The boys understand when I speak to them in English and they answer in Norwegian - cuz they can.. I understand them. But, later on we meet other sailors and then the boys HAVE to speak English, so they get some good practice in. And yes- I'm both Norwegian&American, but grew up in the US and my husband is Norwegian.
FWIW: Watching someone talking to the camera simply isn’t very interesting, and there was too much of it in this video - this video could’ve been much, much shorter by eliminating too much talking to the camera. I watch videos like this on my iPad while working out on my elliptical - 15 minute videos are great for stringing together a playlist. I’ve watched a bunch of You Tubers sailing in the Caribbean and the South Pacific, but y’all are sailing around Europe - that’s new and interesting territory for me, so I’m eager to see more of your videos (I just discovered your channel). I love it when you zoom in on your chart plotter and talk about where you’re going and why. It might’ve been nice to have heard a little history about that bridge and information about areas I’ll never visit and places of which don’t have much knowledge. Not trying to be overly critical. You have a pleasant personality and I look forward to watching future videos.
Hi, @RebelRobin501. No, no problem - thanks for the input - Can always learn and grow. I can agree with what you've said... like I said earlier, I was a rookie filmer in the beginning of our trip and looking back, Isee what I should have filmed instead - filming wasn't really on my mind as much as sailing and the family dynamic. Unfortunately, I only have the footage I have, so I'm just trying to make as interesting of a story out of it as I can. ;) I'm just thankful for anyone who wants to watch and think it's interesting. I'm making these movies mostly for ourselves, to be able to look back on, but it's fun that others join in on the story and can get something out of it (hopefully) :) Thanks for the tips, tho - and maybe my editing skills can help to cut out the boring parts and give info on the things I actually DO film! ;) Ha! Hope you continue to follow along! :) Cheers, Liv :)
Wow. Great work. Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Beautiful. Love the shots of the boys in the intro!
Thank you so much, Jon!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for your feedback. :)
I like the combination of Norwegian and English. Norwegian sound REALLY nice.
Thanks! Yes, it's a beautiful language 😁👍🏻
6:10 This is what "Are we halfway there yet?" sounds in Norwegian. :-))))))
LOL and the term for floating bridge is the suspension bridge. 🙂

Videos keep getting better and better. You are all becoming seasoned sailors. Love your boys enthusiasm.
Thank you, Judy! 😊

3:57 The technical term for waving of the sail is flogging. 🙂 Yep, I read it yesterday. :-))
True true - i was still learning the technical terms at this stage in our sailing career 😅

Next time you go under a bridge - FILM IT!!!!!!! 😞
Yes, so dumb that I didn't!! I was a rooky filmer at this stage also... Didn't have video-making on my mind as much as I should have. 😩
