I've followed your channel from the start and compared to then you seem so relaxed and comfortable with boat life. It clearly shows in your interaction with others and for that matter each other. I know it's been a steep learning curve but in my opinion you've smashed it. Have a lovely Xmas. Joe
Thanks. Sometimes I watch an old video and think about how nervous we used to be. Still get nervous from time to time but it is much more enjoyable now. I no longer worry about my next docking situation, I just know whatever it is, I'll deal with it.
I love your show cuz I know I'll never be able to go and see all those places that you guys cruise to see looks like a lot of fun thanks for the killer shots of all the places 🎄
These videos were recorded a number of months ago. They've been back home for probably 4 months or so now. I know they were at the Annapolis boat show whenever that was.
love your channel !!... thanks for sharing your experinces .. me and my fiance are planning to retire in 9 years and do the Yachting life... do you guys ever get concerned about pirates?... we plan on being well armed out on the water... just curious your thoughts .. or maybe anything you've heard on that topic.. thanks!!
Thanks for watching. No, we are not concerned about pirates. Only once in the past four years did it concern us and it turned out to be our imaginations running away. We have heard one of the best things to have on a boat is a paintball gun with pepper spray paint balls. Non lethal, legal everywhere and you do not need to hit your target. We do not have that, it is just what we have heard. What we do have is several flare guns and a harpoon gun. Anyway, it does not seem to be a problem in the Bahamas and Caribbean.
Found Chub snooty and really pissed me off they wanted to charge ten bucks if you pick up a coconut off the road... Some decent biking around the island. Found some interesting ruins.
I guess it depends upon who you run into. We found some of the sport fishers to be snooty but met a number of nice power boaters and a couple of subscribers. We did not venture out of the marina compound. We were only there for a day and a half.
I'm feeling real about you not having a even numbered crew. Think you might need a male mate that cooks, makes drinks and is sea worthy someday? On the hard Ed.
Awesome DUAL Roger Out at 9:34! It was perfectly placed!
Sometimes the stars align!
9:56 That was the Complete Angler Bar after the fire many years ago.

have a Merry Christmas Ed and Lynn and Family
Merry Christmas!
Chub Cay looks lovely. I thought in the past it was a place only for members.
It is open to anyone, although I do not think they allow boaters to anchor and dinghy in.

Thanks for watching. We are happy you enjoy the videos!
Gorgeous! I am glad you were able to get back out and go this year.
Us too! Thanks!
Love the ride along. Great job on shooting and editing
👍👍👍
Thanks. It wasn't one of my favorites. One of the cameras had the stabilizer turned off and it shows. Thanks for watching!
One other note: while the tiny market is often out of veggies, can go to the restaurant and the chef'll sell ya some.
That's good to know.
Always a pleasure when you take us along.
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful
We live in WPB FL btw !.. very cool
Great Vlog some nice and interesting Places you found thanks for taking us along
Glad you enjoyed
We are at Brown's Marina in Bimini right now. Hoping to hit Chub Cay next. If you are still around I would like to buy you a drink. Love this channel!

We were there in June. We had a great time at Chub Cay and will definitely stop back next year. Glad you enjoy the videos!
Beautiful. Great video to start the day.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very nice video Ed ad Lynn. Happy Sailing…Ed
Thanks, you too!
First time I have heard of an insurance certified hurricane hold marina. Lloyds of London is an insurance company fyi
Yes. It just means it meets their criteria for a safe marina during a hurricane, and therefore, cheaper to insure.
I, also, would like to take advantage of the swim up pool bar. Obviously.
We love them!
Those swim up pool bars are great... until you actually have to walk!
We can spend hours at them. And we do!
Wonderful.
Surgeon General says "Don't drink and swim" Chub Cay says "We'll float you out a double scotch right away".
I wish my tach gauges matched perfect like that lol
Surprised no one mentioned that two of my gauges are not working. Fortunately, they work on the lower helm and the engine room.
Love bimini 💯

@@tryingnottosink9107 awesome thanks for the response ... Happy New year and look forward to more videos !!
Do you guys still have a home base in the philly area?
Yes, we are currently wintering in Philly area.
When are you ever going to put poper name boards on, ?‽?
We don't like the old school style, but maybe some 3 dimensional aluminum, one day.

It seems our crew changes every year. I want Doodle's crew! 😁 Well, maybe for a day or two.
how conflicted are you ?.... posting a video of flip-flop weather while it is 39 degrees outside? LoL stay safe, Tim and Cat
It inspires us to start planning next year's trip! 😁
I think you may have found your new retirement home
