Quit stinking up your boat cooking crab in a pot. Remove the shell, break them in half, pull off the gills, and clean them. Put them in a foil pan with onion, chives, garlic, or any other seasoning. Add 1/2 inch of water, cover with foil, poke a hole to vent, and set on your grill. 12-15 mins after it starts to boil. No mess, no huge pot and burner stand. So good!
My least favorite is definitely provisioning. You have to load groceries into your car, then unload them into a dock cart. Then transport that to the boat. Then get it from the dock cart up onto the boat, then put it away and then take the dock cart back....
Q: 'How do you two get along?' A: It helps to be able to EdIt the video that gets shown, too! In all seriousness, I definitely am looking forward to more meals, meal planning and recipe type additions to the videos! One thing I do for long term meal planning, I love to make a big batch of pasta sauce, and freeze it into smaller one gallon zips, to take out for dinner at some point. Sounds similar to what you plan for Chili! Cannot wait for Plan D! I wish you both Fair Winds and Following Seas!
Interesting to hear about your experiences on Lake Michigan. We boated on Lake Superior for 8 seasons and would definitely agree about weather condition comparisons regards Puget Sound especially. Sometimes crossing the Straits or Rosario straits can be interesting but Superior would rock and roll with much shorter steeper wave action. Oh and the FOG! One two week vacation was spent with my nose a foot from the radar screen most of the time. Less than 1/4 mile viz at least there wasn’t any bad seas!
I recently found and am enjoying your channel very much. My wife and I lived in the Seattle area for most of the 80’s so seeing it now brings back fond memories. After retirement we went the large Motorhome route (wife is not a boat fan😢). I have found that a portable induction burner is a good option for not using up propane while connected to shore power and an added bonus is that it can be used outside anywhere there is 110v and the cooking odors don’t smell up the cabin. Safe travels!
You must go up the Inside Passage to at least Sitka before you leave the area. The Freedom is a perfect boat for the trip and the trip is absolutely amazing! Good Luck in 2021!
Love your videos guys. I hope your plan A comes about for you. Elizabeth mentioned the quarantine in the Cdn approved hotel. That is currently only in place if you fly into one of the four Cdn airports receiving international flights. A 14 day Quarantine plan still is required if your cross into Canada at a land crossing, like at Sweetgrass, Montana or the Peace Arch, Washington. Clearly, MV Freedom isn't crossing there. More research required, but currently the mandatory approved hotel quarantine is only for arrival by air.
For Dan from Wisconsin re: Great Lake anchorages...If you can make your way to Georgian Bay off of Lake Huron, there are more awesome anchorages than you can possible think of.
I am surprised at the level of distrust of propane. It's ubiquitous in campers and very common on boats. With the proper sensors and controls, I think it's very safe. It's very seldom you hear about a propane fire on a boat. I agree with you guys about the convenience and not having to divide amps or run a generator every time you want to cook. It's also the way to go for a grill. Elizabeth, my wife has not mastered the sum of the amps thing either. :-)
Watching you guys for the first time today is something else. I have been watching SV Delos for a while now before I discovered your channel which like I said was today. All people die but few people live!
You two really clean up nice, your make up people and hair people did a great job. Just kidding, you both looked great today and relaxed. Boat life does agree with you. I think the plan of going South is a great one,warm weather, and many great boating locations.
Washington State marine parks using the white barrel buoys are quite safe. When you choose a calm anchorage the forces exerted on the mooring chain are well below the working load limit. I do agree the buoy banging on your hull bow all night is annoying as heck. Some people keep an old life jacket to put over the buoy for sound damping
Our family currently cruises on Lake Michigan (Michigan side). :) As you know, full displacement hulls and diesel engines are not common among motor boats on the great lakes. I'm curious what models of boat you'd recommend in the absence of these options for the Great Lakes.
On the current yacht I captain my crew and I are provided GEO BLUE health insurance. So as we travel with the yacht domestic or otherwise we are covered. I worked on other yachts where we were provided health insurance such as FLORIDA BLUE. The problem with that was when we were in NY or ME (with the yacht), there were very few providers or doctors in the FLORIDA BLUE network in those regions.
@@mvfreedom BRF? Ah. I just googled 'BRF', and I can't apply the one about a 'resting face' to you. :) 'Best Roomie Forever', OTOH...I'm sure Shawn would agree!
You guy really have to check out fort Steven's if you got bike thier is like 20 miles of riding trails ,thier is a fresh water lake near by its really cool
Shaun, sorry to correct you but a Sailing Vessel can plane in right wave and wind conditions. I'd sail my dinghys in windward side of wake from bigger boats just to get them to plane. With bigger keel sail boats when you on a fast reach and waves astern they can plane. I believe multitude also plane in right conditions.
Thank you so much for answering our question about meals! We would love to see more cooking and prepping meals especially your chili recipe! Emily and David
Excellent Q&A You’s Guys!..... I’m pulling for Plan A as I would love to see all the nooks and crannies of the Big V and it that doesn’t work out I would vote for the West coast to San Deigo.... beautiful duck-ins all the way down! Could easily be a 1 year trip... Best Always! Bill
Shawn and Elizabeth. Thank you for this. I am looking forward to your continued journey in 2021. I truly hope Plan A can work. Your previous trip in 2019 to Victoria on Canada Day is a favorite - and my favorite scene was you both kayaking in Victoria harbor. International health insurance. Not sure if you can actually access this as US citizens. Manulife or Green Shield Canada.
Loved the QA, especially for your reason for name and initial inspiration in trawler life. We aren't ready to buy a boat but we agree it is hard top a Nordhavn and we love watching your experience.
Happy found you guy’s a trawler is what I want when we retire here in Massachusetts! Lots of great knowledge! Cooking would be nice to see! Meal planning ect
As said great vlog. Many questions answered. Great video. Shawn, could plan E possibly stand for Europe? Or was that plan D? Who cares, whatever you decide it'll be good to watch, as it always is. Best of luck guys. See you on the next one 😊
Thanks for answering my question (Mark from Devon, England). Great video as always! You guys are a real inspiration for those who want a life lived. Looking forward to your next instalment! Happy sailing xx 🛥⚓
This question is for Shawn: Since you have plenty of time on your hands, you may have heard that Mercury has come out with their new V-12 600 hp outboard engine. If you were to add, say, four of these new outboards to a structurally integrated, like, swim platform you could likely get your trawler up to planing speed, skeg still water bound. There may be some stability issues which require expert advice from your trawler friends. Your existing prop would be like a water brake. Heck, you could likely pull Elizabeth on a water ski. Would there be any electrical work? If this would not work, why not? Thinking outside the boat, Cheers!
@@boatrvme8478 Hey Mark! I was just joking. Trawlers are trawlers. Although the Merc V-12s seem impressive, there are so many reasons why my suggestion would not work I am not sure where to start. Was kinda thinking this would be obvious. A planing 60k lb trawler to ski behind? Hmm! Cavitation, mechanical, fuel, electrical, 70k per engine not counting structural mounting? Perhaps an over the top joke. Hopefully my humor did not offend any trawler folks out there. Sometimes injecting a little humor will create a little funny banter! Cheers!
Great video. Y'alls answer on relationship question, everyone hear what they said. Shawn, like yours the best, lol. If you ever bring nieces on board, during the voyage part have them try to spot wildlife, Whales, dolphins, etc .. that can be hours of fun for them and educational.
Hello good Q and A. Funny you should mention jewelry issues. We have had that exact same discussion for the same reason. I was shut down and she say's she's going to wear the ring. Who am I to argue. Take care.
Great Q&A , you both amswer everything clearly and very understandable. Living on a boat is different but you guys make it look easy. I do hope you are able to travel down the west coast this year 2021. Still places to see in the NW. Thank You for sharing and cruise safely always.
When she said “there’s not a lot happening on Freedom these days”. I would have leaned over and gave her the best kiss I could. Some days you need to generate the waves.
They are actually having insurance problems at the moment. Not all plain sailing. Can't wait to see MV Freedom out in some exotic location on a Pacific Island.
Great Q & A! Missed seeing Mr. Sully! Would love to see more cooking videos! Good Luck with all your plans! Stay Safe & Cheers! Chuck & Missy ~ M/V North Star, Sitka, AK
Being from Vancouver Island I hope that the vaccines really get the covid numbers down to where we can safely travel and open up the boarders this season, we all want our lives back to normal.
Hey Freedom!!! My name is Wilfred,I am from southeast Alaska 15 miles south of Ketchikan on an island name Annette island I am just dropping in a message to say I enjoyed your video's,and am now thinking of buying a used one,and that I miss your video's...
Do you have to replace the hot water heater sacrificial anodes more often, using the Water-Mark softener, and, how often do you flush it to recharge the zeolites?
Hi guys always looking forward to watch your episodes every week. Regarding your future electrical systems plans, have you considered INTEGREL? It sounds good and promising. I saw a video of Nigel Calder explaining its features. Also Paul Shard has installed it on Distant Shores III and loves it. What's your take on it? Would it be worth installing on a Motor Vessel?
I also have switched to Britta filter--financial saving and convenience of not hauling cases of water. I agree the boat name and how it sounds over the VHF is very important--should be two syllables--one word-- and no foreign languages. All this is very important when talking to folks during and emergency. Well thought out names are in my opinion, very inportant. If you tour your skiff through a marina you can see some very odd and not so wll thought out names. The names quite often have little to do with the value of the boats!? Some peoples kids??-----Mikey, Belfair, Wa
Hi from Lions Bay B.C. Yes, we require a 14 day stay at an approved hotel. Pretty pricey and time consuming. But, we are getting our vaccine program ramped up....finally....so that may result in a more reasonable policy. Take care 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇨🇦🇨🇦
U.S sourced health insurance for cruisers is crazy expensive. If you want to keep your U.S insurance, purchase an insurance policy for air evac back to your home area. There are no really great option. For foreign travel, European based insurance companies are much more reasonable as long as you are not traveling in the U.S. when it again gets costly or is just not offered. The Dutch and French insurance is worth your time to investigate.

Quit stinking up your boat cooking crab in a pot. Remove the shell, break them in half, pull off the gills, and clean them. Put them in a foil pan with onion, chives, garlic, or any other seasoning. Add 1/2 inch of water, cover with foil, poke a hole to vent, and set on your grill. 12-15 mins after it starts to boil. No mess, no huge pot and burner stand. So good!
This has become my Sunday morning ritual.... Thanks for the video.
I definitely would love to see you doing meals - planning, prepping and cooking!
Congratulations on breaking through 30K, that is quite an achievement.
Great job describing a full displacement hull while avoiding the term plowing

One thing I do for long term meal planning, I love to make a big batch of pasta sauce, and freeze it into smaller one gallon zips, to take out for dinner at some point. Sounds similar to what you plan for Chili!
Cannot wait for Plan D!
I wish you both Fair Winds and Following Seas!
MY Guess, plan E is a bigger Nordhaven. Boating rules is that there is always room for a Bigger boat. Thanks for sharing.
I thought was plan D?
Interesting to hear about your experiences on Lake Michigan. We boated on Lake Superior for 8 seasons and would definitely agree about weather condition comparisons regards Puget Sound especially. Sometimes crossing the Straits or Rosario straits can be interesting but Superior would rock and roll with much shorter steeper wave action. Oh and the FOG! One two week vacation was spent with my nose a foot from the radar screen most of the time. Less than 1/4 mile viz at least there wasn’t any bad seas!

Watching your videos has become a Sunday evening routine my husband and I look forward too.
With that boat cause of the trolling speed you can catch black mouth salmon near the san wan Island its really easy and limited tackle
I lived on a boat at McKinley marina when I was single and I love watching your channel. I’m hell bent to retire on a boat once the kiddos are gone.
Always a pleasure to watch, and yes to more cooking clips.
You could go to South Alaska. Canada allows you to transition through if arranged in advance. Ask Jim from Sea Venture, they did it. Stay safe.
Even though there is no action this video proved to be very informative.Thanks for sharing.
Wherever you end up going in 2021, I look forward to riding along.

No we think our boat length is a little too small for them to be effective.
