I've watched every episode you've posted. The love and respect you and Laura shows through to this day. Had to revisit the older days. So enjoy Laura's zest for life. Bobby you are blessed beyond measure to have her at your side.
This is what REAL life is like. It's not always smooth sailing and happy times. Stress and adversity. Albeit with smiles. I think this is one of my favorite episodes so far. I've been watching your 3 seasons all out of order so it's very interesting seeing the ups and downs like this. I'm having a great time. Thanks for opening up your lives like this.
I’m so happy you found Laura! The videos are so much better seeing you both happy as a couple. You are a very lucky man! I look forward to every new episode for the travel, the sailing and the...eh...beautiful eye candy!
It was Great to finally meet you both! Fun times Bob and Laura! Hope you enjoyed La Paz and it's friendly people. Look forward to meeting again someday out on the water! Salud! From Bret and Talyn...
Captain 10Star I came down for nine days to celebrate my 50th Birthday! By chance Bob and Laura were there. Didn't get a chance to get on the boat unfortunately. The stars just didn't line up. My wife and I stayed at a condo next to the Cortez Club. Had a blast though.
Phil. It's a shame you feel that way. They actually did offer to have us come see boat a few times. We were actually already busy. I suppose it's true what people say opinions are like... And technically my mom taught me that if you have nothing nice to say about someone then don't say anything at all. Maybe you should take that under advisement before you try and trash someone from the safety of your keyboard.
Hi Bret, I admire and respect you generosity. Unfortunately, and just like hundreds of people, i feel you have been cheated and betrayed. And if you don't (yet) see it, well then be it ... It is actually better that way. Good luck to you and your bride and be well ;) Cheers !
I was always taught that if you can’t say anything good don’t say anything at all. With that in mind I’ll say this. Megan was a beautiful person and her presence was bigger than life as well as real. Her on screen behavior was natural and a joy to watch. I sure do miss her with that sexy laugh and smile!
Your water tank vent line can only pressurize if it gets pinched or blocked. It appears you may have a seal leak at the connectors area that you showed in the video. Excess water either flows out the vent line or back thru the fill line. There’s a leak at a fitting somewhere there on the tank or possibly a crack by a fitting.
Great video guys. So sorry about the waterleak. It can ruin a beautiful trip. But don’t let it, in particular Laura. You can’t relish the good times, if you don’t have the bad times to compare them with. Thx for sharing your lives. By the way, you guys look great together.
Bobby, you are one fortunate guy! Your First Mate is absolutely championship! Guess the old saying, 'good things come to those who wait, sure held true in your case. Your video's are great and your furry crew members, Maverick and Goose, are adorable. I'm a big dog lover and love to see them included in your day to day lives. I think the good Lord put them here to teach us how to love. That's why dogs have short lives....the are born with this loving trait. It takes us, unfortunately, a life time to aquire. God speed and fair winds to you guys as i look forward to y'all's next adventure..... Kindest regards, Johnny (or should I say, whats left of him lol)
Every time I watch these videos & Laura is in front of the camera. Certain words pop up in my mind over & over!? Words like, Beautiful, smile, Happy, ADDERALL, Beautiful. Ha!. Loved the Sea Lions. Fun Vlog as always! Thank you for sharing the adventure. ; )
I was thinking the same thing. Never ending energy bullet. Not to mention she can drink Bobby under the table! HaHa. I also agree, she is a beautify woman.
@ Mr Anonymous Yup! Under the muscle is the only way to go! Costs a bit more. Butt $$$ well spent! Not that I have any 1St hand knowledge about such matters! Cuz of course my girls completely Natural!! Ha! ;) Grrrrr.
Great video! Have had the same water problem with our Beneteau when filling the tanks. Ours is a leak from the inspection port. Have not found a fix so we fill the tanks slowly and keep a close eye on them when the get close to full. Good luck!
My tank vent was chock-a block full of spider webs and junk from spiders. I chose to remove the teak cabin wall behind the hanging closet to replace the line rather than snake all that stuff back into the fresh water tank. Only took a day.....or so. No biggie.
Not gonna lie brother, when the first and even second lady traveler left, I was saddened only to be delightfully SOLD with the new first mate. Her energy, enthusiasm, and zeal is riveting and enchanting. Makes for great watching bud. Cheers to the 4 of ya!
Dear lovely Laura, “the Sea Lions try to eat my flippers.(13:58). Did I say that right?”The correct word would actually be fins not flippers! Great video as usual. Thanks for making me feel like I am a part of your travels and adventure. Fair winds and save sailing. Keep the water out, looks like rule nr. one to me! LOL. Cheers from Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Gang, ignore the negative comments, you two keep doing what you are doing. Love the clips, dive spots and the view into your great adventure. Laura, we all love you and keep Bobby out of trouble. So jealous right now. :-) Stay safe! \
Great videos guys and nice editing as per usual! What a nice adventure to dive with Sea Lions! Man.... jealousy! Here we found loads of pufferfish.... even though nobody knows where they come from.... we'll look into the in the next video I think.... All the best! SV Independence!
In an earlier video you showed us these hooks that you attached to your fenders. Do you like them? Also where did you get that bean bag. I just bought my first boat and want one! Thanks!
Does she have Polyethylene water tanks Bobby? As others have mentioned, blocked vent lines or fitting issues. Polyethylene as used in tanks or general has a working life of 12-15 yrs, then they can crack from fatigue! I use to replace a lot of my clients tanks when I ran my Yacht Repair business up in Vancouver BC. Another thing to check for, if someone has used teflon tape around plastic fittings etc. Never do that only polyurethane like 3m or Sika-Flex, teflon puts to much pressure on tank fittings. Good luck. Kiwi
Murray 78, tried to tell someone about using teflon tape on plastic fittings 2 yrs. ago, as I was taught that too, and months later they told someone plastic fittings were junk because they always crack! After telling me I didn't know what I was talking about ..telling them not to use teflon tape. Should use just a touch of a good food grade pipe dope.
LOL great video. Thanks for taking us diving with you. the sea lions looked like fun. I know how it is first hand to arrive home after being gone all day and find a mess maid by 2 four legged children. Yep our 2 labs used to do that all the time and neither one would confess they would just look at us like what's the problem i didn't do anything. LOL You would have to blur the best shot of the video tho wouldn't you bobby. LOL Laura calm down everything will be fine you guys will get the water working IM sure. Well Buddies hope all goes well. Have a great day!!! God Bless
Bobby quick way to clean out that vent for your water tank use one of the lines from your scuba diving tank and lightly blow it out and one other thing when you guys were going through that cool tunnel you should have give the girl a little kiss just saying Vegas bill another thumbs-up episode you guys rock
congratulations Bob and Laura glad to see y'all enjoying life to the fullest. nice video's thanks for the work you both put into giving us some good content.much love God Bless the both of You.
Thanks for the great videos. Been watching you for long time now. Don't listen to the negative comments you are doing great. Keep it up. Smooth sailing!!!
.. Niceguy there's always some who thinks they know better, especially with no trade experience. I like the 3m or Sika-Flex urethanes because they act as a good non hardening adhesive. It's surprising how plumbing fittings work loose on boats when people load up stuff, and things get lodged in and around hoses etc. Next thing they're fiddling around and the hose's or fittings get a little stressed, viola a leak starts! Cheers, Murray
Leak detectors with alarms are cheap. Put them everywhere even in the engine room (with the alarms where you can hear them and see the light go off too if possible,,, you may have to wire it yourself). Catching a leak FAST saves you from sinking especially when a large hose in the engine room lets loose at night in 25 ft seas etc (that's when it all always breaks :-) Enjoy!
She's just barely keeping those puppies under control (and I'm not talking about the dogs). I like that a lot. Btw, do you fly the drone line of sight or fpv? I find it tons easier fav and I'm more likely to try interesting things like flying under arches or buzzing close to cliffs, etc.
Hey Bobby, love all your vids: I wonder if you can help me? I started following you, probably, around season 4, but I’m finding it hard to see the earlier episodes; (S01;E01...etc..), I’m already subscribed, but I can’t find your earlier episodes. Can you help?
Great v log guys you do get stick from time to time these people should behave and go and rotate somewhere give them a break Cheers bob Laura and the hounds keep on doing what you do just great
I dunno why you guys are hating on Laura re the water situation. It was hardly a meltdown and I think she was being more cheeky and venting frustration in that way than being a brat. Just my $.02
Where ever there are sea lions or seal colonies you will also find sharks since they thrive on seals and seal lions as their primary diet. Just be very careful and there is no such thing as a friendly shark, so don't try to pat them.
Why you are toking about Megan od showing Laura in your intro? and showing picture with Megan on Patron? I'm very confuse. Love Your Videos and follow you from day one.
people , people , people , so much negativity and hate in the comments. some of what you're saying might be true , but it doesn't have to be said does it ? live and let live already. sheeesh !
Hey love the editing on this vlog; nice job. can you all put the link to the podcast in the show notes ?? Love your faces John the Limo driver from Kansas city

They're not a couple. Pay attention.
Luv Laura's excitement! It's contagious! Great vid music! It moves the video along with it.
It was Great to finally meet you both! Fun times Bob and Laura! Hope you enjoyed La Paz and it's friendly people. Look forward to meeting again someday out on the water! Salud! From Bret and Talyn...
Hi Bret. Did you get a chance to sail while aboard? How long did you stay?
I know you from the live feeds...That is so awesome.

Miss Megan!
Both girls are a treat!

We like your new crew very energetic and happy
we have snow and ice, you guys are lucky nice and warm..
.good luck with your new swimming pool..we hope you work it out..

Always something with boats and Rv's. Stay well and happy.
I have been at that very same place in LA Paz, quite a few years back, Cabo also !!!
What a Great first buddy dive for Laura. ...
You have done so well after a stroke , best wishes from New Zealand 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Hard boulders pop up in my mind...also I'd like to see them LOL
Overbearing and an annoying drunk also spring to mind!
@ Mr Anonymous Yup! Under the muscle is the only way to go! Costs a bit more. Butt $$$ well spent! Not that I have any 1St hand knowledge about such matters! Cuz of course my girls completely Natural!! Ha! ;) Grrrrr.
John McFarland - Shut up. Turn the you tube channel then....
Another great video Bobby and Laura!
Great video!
Have had the same water problem with our Beneteau when filling the tanks. Ours is a leak from the inspection port. Have not found a fix so we fill the tanks slowly and keep a close eye on them when the get close to full. Good luck!
Really enjoyed those puppies 😘😘🐶🐶🐷🐫

lmao @ "Very rarely do we get to sit back and relax" 00:42
"Somehow convinced a beautiful girl to join"? Just like cats, feed and pamper them and they allow you to pet them.
9:55 this why there is a 4ft visibility LOL
Great video Bobby and Laura. You guys are amazing week after week....
Dear lovely Laura, “the Sea Lions try to eat my flippers.(13:58). Did I say that right?”The correct word would actually be fins not flippers! Great video as usual.

Nice dive, beautiful area.

INDEPENDENCE for RESEARCH at SEA - PROJECT MANAIA
In an earlier video you showed us these hooks that you attached to your fenders. Do you like them? Also where did you get that bean bag. I just bought my first boat and want one! Thanks!
Dogs: what did you expect dad, you left stuff where we could get at it 🐶
Been watching since the beginning, Laura is a good asset to the videos. Keep up the great work!
Does she have Polyethylene water tanks Bobby? As others have mentioned, blocked vent lines or fitting issues.
Polyethylene as used in tanks or general has a working life of 12-15 yrs, then they can crack from fatigue!

I thought you would do something special for episode 69 , oh well scuba diving is better than no diving !
You guys are living the dream.
Lol...Laura's fun. She's fun.
Another great video guys
What route are you planning for Thailand? Through Hawaii into Solomon Islands first?
LOL great video. Thanks for taking us diving with you. the sea lions looked like fun. I know how it is first hand to arrive home after being gone all day and find a mess maid by 2 four legged children. Yep our 2 labs used to do that all the time and neither one would confess they would just look at us like what's the problem i didn't do anything. LOL You would have to blur the best shot of the video tho wouldn't you bobby. LOL Laura calm down everything will be fine you guys will get the water working IM sure. Well Buddies hope all goes well. Have a great day!!! God Bless
Pretty amazing area to dive......did I see two different colored swim fins on the same person when diving on the wreck?
Bobby quick way to clean out that vent for your water tank use one of the lines from your scuba diving tank and lightly blow it out and one other thing when you guys were going through that cool tunnel you should have give the girl a little kiss just saying Vegas bill another thumbs-up episode you guys rock
congratulations Bob and Laura glad to see y'all enjoying life to the fullest. nice video's thanks for the work you both put into giving us some good content.much love God Bless the both of You.
I didn't know seals seals crop dusted . So much for the visibility !
Thanks for the great videos. Been watching you for long time now. Don't listen to the negative comments you are doing great. Keep it up. Smooth sailing!!!
I read through the comments. As expected, the green starch was oozing out out of the jealous couch potatoes. Sailor on Sailing Doodles!
+Jim Sullivan haha, I’ve learned the not negative comments a video has the more popular it is... so it is exciting !
..

Beuatiful song from those guys
your video production skills got way better and thumbnails pics too 😉👍

Catching a leak FAST saves you from sinking especially when a large hose in the engine room lets loose at night in 25 ft seas etc (that's when it all always breaks :-) Enjoy!
Did the puppies get into something? It looked like a mess when you got home. Thanks for the posting. Love seeing the dogs.
The best videos ever
Melt down on the sea.... Being real about life... lol
Nice drone footage Bob, It appears you are getting better at it with practice. Keep the vids coming.. very cool stuff.
Laura why did you have a lift kit installed and are you happy with the results?
At her poker parties 1 pair beats a full house............
Can't believe anybody gave you a thumbs down you guys are awesome. We love Laura.😄
Coming back to the boat and find the groceries all over the place sounds and looks like my boxer /huskie mix I was bored So you paid the price
explains the murky water! haha
She's just barely keeping those puppies under control (and I'm not talking about the dogs). I like that a lot. Btw, do you fly the drone line of sight or fpv? I find it tons easier fav and I'm more likely to try interesting things like flying under arches or buzzing close to cliffs, etc.
hi gary, can you or bobby or anyone give me a heads up on the Emotion drone advertised on Sailing Doodles. Any help would be appreciated
Hey Bobby, love all your vids: I wonder if you can help me? I started following you, probably, around season 4, but I’m finding it hard to see the earlier episodes; (S01;E01...etc..), I’m already subscribed, but I can’t find your earlier episodes. Can you help?
The seals taking a dump in the ocean right in front of you explains the poor visibility situation!!!
What did the plaque say on the wreck?
I enjoy the videos on this channel
Great video, loved the seals , thanks
13:49 her top barely covers it !
It’s like watching David Attenborough On holidays
Sea lions ,they kicked a guy off his boat in auz fearsome beasties, great info on this channel
Oops! Wardrobe malfunction Laura! That's OK, none of us looked(yeah right). Too bad the water was so murky. Must have been all of the seal poop!
Seems the local guy is proud of his sea lions. Those guys have picked up some bad behavior. Maybe they are just going along with the program!
Ok. The thumbnail change confirms that the "pups" in fact got loose....apparently right after the two dogs did.
Great v log guys you do get stick from time to time these people should behave and go and rotate somewhere give them a break Cheers bob Laura and the hounds keep on doing what you do just great
How come one yellow fin & one blue fin. The frisky sea lion pups make off with one?
Don't ya just luv girls that randomly sing their words ? Good mood almost every day of the month , almost !
Nice job.
That is super cool
Thug life had me laughing on the floor..nice footage...lol
What happened to Ruff Seas?
that THUGLIFE scene 😂😂😂
Great video. How do you get those views from the air? I like travelling with you guys!
E A he uses his drone
what camera you using for your video?
Next up Maintenance Monday: Repairing Water Tanks
IMHO I think you should change your route to go through the Philippine Islands. It's more fun in the Philippines.
I dunno why you guys are hating on Laura re the water situation. It was hardly a meltdown and I think she was being more cheeky and venting frustration in that way than being a brat. Just my $.02
Denise Marie of course, she was playing around as thats what she does?
Nice video. This won't be your last cave diving or wreck diving so do yourselves and us a favor and get some high capacity underwater lights.
Where ever there are sea lions or seal colonies you will also find sharks since they thrive on seals and seal lions as their primary diet. Just be very careful and there is no such thing as a friendly shark, so don't try to pat them.
The worst part is, when you have 2 dogs you almost never know who did it.
Great Video....... Nice looking mermaids you got there.... fish were nice also..... Have fun kids....
Billabong indeed! Great vid. Did the tank thing get sorted? I'm worse than that thug seal.
Bad Puppies .-)
Just passion for easy money, not for sailing. But it seems to work. Well done! ;)
The size of those things are just like...wow.
I went diving there Monday 5th. Are you back from Texas? Sending E-mail with my video.
Change job
I saw 3 bad Puppies on that Video :O:O:O
I didn't see any red wings @ 0956.? WTF?
Why you are toking about Megan od showing Laura in your intro? and showing picture with Megan on Patron? I'm very confuse. Love Your Videos and follow you from day one.
people , people , people , so much negativity and hate in the comments. some of what you're saying might be true , but it doesn't have to be said does it ? live and let live already. sheeesh !
14:06 No mention about the blur? ok, I'll be the one.
