Hahah Distin is prob wondering what Ranger is up to whining like that. I was chucking to myself on your last video in the engine room, Distin crying in the background lol
@@MVSKOOKUM1 Eric is such a freak about cold ours was run all the time!! If we bring the N50 back around to Alaska we have to figure out how to add the diesel furnace. It’s a necessity up there!
That's a good video - we like the "Learn how you guys do it" style. Looks like Ranger could use a jacket just a little larger, but he's making that one work pretty well. Thanks for taking us along! Our Great Dane pooch Willow now recognizes your voices (and Ranger's) so she come running to the TV for her favorite TH-cam channel!
Thanks James, it was a request by one of our viewers. If there is something that you would like to see, just let us know and if it is possible we will add it to our content. Thanks again for watching.⚓️
We are quite chill! It’s growing up in a small Northern Town. Makes us all relaxed. No traffic, no commuting to work, less crime. So we can just breathe day to day here 😊
At last! I’ve been waiting for your latest production and it does not disappoint. Derek, your knowledge and abilities never stop amazing me! Ranger, you’re the best boat dog ever, even though mom dresses you funny. My envy level is over the moon. Keep the videos coming. Please!
Great episode ,as usual. You guys have no idea how much I look forward to, and enjoy, each episode, your natural and unpretentious presentations put a huge smile on my face, please keep up the excellent work, fair winds and blessings to all who sail aboard Skookum 1.🙃
Awe I love your nice comment! Thank you. ❤️. You motivate us to want to make more. Sometimes I worry if we are too boring since we don’t swim in green water and dive in bikinis all day haha
@@MVSKOOKUM1 ,don't change girl, for those of us who live in other parts of the world, to be able to come along and see such beautiful scenery speaks volumes to the generosity of you ,Derek and Ranger, awesome channel.🙂xx
Hello Janis, you are correct. Skookum has a desalination plant which turns salt water into good clean drinking water. We use the water maker to fill her 220 gallon tank which is the used on the boat for drinking, showering, dishes,and flushing the toilet. Thanks so much for continuing to watch our videos. ⚓️
Cracks me up. Your setup is very costly but saving pennies with the diesel heater.... Ranger does not need an expensive jacket so use that savings for heat.... LOL. I'm exactly the same so don't take as criticism just funny. I was on a project making 2k per day and still collecting stickers off the side of Micky Ds coffee cups.... Glad you had a nice weekend.
Haha yes, saving pennies is the only way we can afford this expensive set up. The only reason we can afford Skookum is hard work, dedication, and a dream to be out on the water full time at some point. Rangers new jacket was $8 at the second hand store. Thank you so much for continuing to watch our videos. 🐕🦺⚓️
We will put the new 15,000 nautical mile pennant on the bow. We are just waiting till the winter winds have subsided. Thank you so much for watching our videos. ⚓️
We have seen pictures and videos of it. It looks sleek! Where our model looks more bulky and tough. Made for big seas ! It’s a different layout than ours. Nordhavn makes good boats!
Yes the -4 because of the damp air feels a lot colder! LOL Brrrrr.... Should we do a plunge???? Does you want to see Derek go into Cardiac arrest LOL ? hahahah
Great question. We do keep a heater going all winter as the temperature here is below freezing most of the winter. The foam helps reduce the heat loss from the boat but more importantly it almost eliminates condensation. Thanks so much for watching our videos. 😊⚓️
@@MVSKOOKUM1 Ok tks for answering! You guys are inspirational!!! I just put a deposit on a boat, it was hauled out for the Survey and should have it in a month. I look forward to winter cruising!! Oh ya, I am going to try and do a TH-cam channel as well. Cheers!
Thanks great!!! When not in use and we are plugged into power we have smaller electrical heaters going. We don’t use the diesel furnace on shore power 😀. TH-cam videos are fun. They are a bit of work editing though! Hahah. Jen
PS - Heard using Bubble Wrap for insulating works well, lets the light in as well. Clear bubble wrap ,the type used for packing breakables.Get the larger air bubble one if you can. You just spray water on the window and put the bubble wrap on your window ,then it sticks when the water drys. That stops heat loss on the windows but also let's light through. It works😊
Hahah we were too at one time but we have heard and noticed some weird things deep on isolated islands. Like rocks being thrown at us above the trees lol. Maybe it was a big bird ? So strange I must say
Congrats on the next flag! Distin was paying attention to Ranger’s whines!

@@MVSKOOKUM1❤
Do you guys have a diesel furnace?
@ yes we do! Due to our strict budget hahaha we don’t like to run it all night lol. 😂.

Awe that’s adorable! Willow must love Ranger 💕. Yeah Ranger needs his back end covered more doesn’t he hahah. Thanks for watching!
Outstanding video, great to see all the prep before heading out

Love Ranger's winter jacket. LOL
Hahaha I don't think Ranger is impressed with it LOL But he does look cute and now he's warmer :)
Y'all are so great at showing a calm relaxing relationship.

@amandabortello505 Oxoxox 💕 made us smile!
Beautiful boat and even more beautiful scenery. That anchorage looked wonderful! Subscribed to see more!
Awesome thanks so much! 😀 We have some neat little trips in the past. Lots of bears and whales. We are always up to something crazy!

@@Alvin-l9n oh we should check that out! Thanks! 😊
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
Thank you, Thank you!!!!! HUGS oxoxo
White foam looks great. Snowed in Florida this week.
Wow, that crazy. You got to spend a day in the life of the Skookum crew. We have had a fairly mild winter here so far. Thanks for watching⚓️
You never know if they'll get stranded somewhere.
Yes
😍😍
Love Rangers coat! Wyatt do you mean, making water? Water to drink?

Welcome back, hope 2025 is good for you both. When's the yellow Nordhavn banner being hoisted?
We will put the new 15,000 nautical mile pennant on the bow. We are just waiting till the winter winds have subsided. Thank you so much for watching our videos. ⚓️
Have you ever saw the N41? If so what u think of it? I can't find any youtubers that have a N41. Tia.

@Genxtrucker72 Check out MV escape. They have a few vids in the med.
You guys are brave to venture out with -4C temps but the scenery makes it all worth it But when is the 1st annual Skookum Polar Bear Plunge?
Yes the -4 because of the damp air feels a lot colder! LOL Brrrrr.... Should we do a plunge???? Does you want to see Derek go into Cardiac arrest LOL ? hahahah
🧿👍
Thank you!!! 😊 😍
Wondering why you need foam on the windows? Do you keep your heater on when not in use? Great videos!

you are real diehards !
I think we are just having a midlife crises hahaha. Living on the edge lol.
Thank you for your vigilance on Sasquatch patrol
Hahah! We have to be open minded on these isolated islands down the channels. Haha
Ranger had the same look as Ralph in Christmas story movie wearing the pink rabbit suit pure embarrassment.
Hahahah! Mama wants him to be warm. Mama bear lol. 😂
The scientific community is skeptical of the existence of Sasquatch.
