- On this week's episode of Onboard Lifestyle we say goodbye to our home port of Seattle, Wa and head north to haul out our custom 435 catamaran SV basik. We have been so busy preparing only to increase our workload now that we are on the hard. Come back next week to see what projects we plan to tackle...see you then!

Hey Guys! Thanks for all the positive feedback. This is still so surreal to us and we are taking it all in and working hard to get her back in the water. One of the big projects we are tackling is the helm seat and we have been designing our hardtop. We are now a traveling sailing project. We'll be building and improving our catamaran as we embark on our adventures. Thank you for following our journey! See you guys next week!
Hi Zac from Australia. I've been wondering about the helm seat, it's right above the steps yeah? I love your renovation of the boat. Keep it up!
I was wondering about someone having to stand at that helm on that little ledge.
Great and very good idea double thumbs up for that.. Goodluck guys... Happy sailing... No more under heat of the sun... And for the coming rain... Cheers...
I've watched quite a few of your vids now and all I can think of is how much those who buy new boats and sail away are missing out on. They don't know their boats and systems as you do, don't have the same sense of satisfaction when they start their engines and don't have the fond memories and experiences of working on the boat and bonding as a family. Talk about priceless. This will all pay dividends for the rest of your lives. Enjoy and thanks for bringing us all along for the ride. Fair winds and calm seas.
I don't know who was more excited about leaving for the world's oceans ... I thought i was but looking back I see it has to have been Emma cause she hasn't wiped that smile off yet...
Yeah! Finally. 10 years of hard work.
Good to see a wake n change of scenery... no ✈️ nice sunset... fair winds n seas cap
Learning by doing. Best mum and dad ever.
Teal, Linh and Emma. The best new life episode. At the beginning with Teal walking the beach with a straight face, was not sure............and, then that little smile of something is about to happen he is soooo good at and I knew. This was your time !! I'm not even done with the episode and you all have had me in tears 3 times. Soooo happy for you. My turn is next !!
.
I must say seeing s/v/ basik cruising, that I was reminded of the Starship Enterprise out on patrol among the galaxies. So aaamazing !!!
Congrats on your the start of new adventures. A decade of dedication, hard work, sanding, laying fiberglass, and other fun projects has paid off magnificently.
Teal, we can tell you are a nervous and excited. I have that nervous excitement too. You guys are moving along, it has been a lot of work, which I have enjoyed watching you do...so close now.
Its an absolute shame we cant hit " and register " the thumbs up more that once. FANTASTIC !
You should be very proud of yourselves. It has taken many years, but you have never lost sight of your goals and you are so very close. Your workmanship is impeccable. and since you designed and rebuilt everything yourself, any issues should be minor. I cant understand why more catamarans don't have a head on the main deck. close for those on night watch.
This was such a huge step for all of us. We are so excited for what is store for us. All that hard work now seems like a distant memory and well worth it. I love that we decided to have a head up when we redesigned our salon area. Thanks for following our journey! More to come! XO
After watching all your videos I feel like am part of the crew. I look at items on this boat and remember you guys buying, installing or fixing it. At times I thought we/you guys will never leave the docks. But steadily the work got done. Thank you for bringing us along on this adventure.
Hey you're sailors again! Not one piece of sandpaper in this episode, but moving forward, let the games begin!" Hey from a distance your bottom paint looked good for 10 years, now comes salt water, congrats guys!
What's not to love. I will follow the adventure and pray you have a great time.
Congratulations! You must feel terrific after all the years of work. Well Done!
This is something so positive for your daughter Emma. This will be 2nd nature for her in her life. So wonderful!
You guys rock im so happy for you enjoy take care of your Precious Cargo captainTeal
she's alive! yeah!!
Fair wind ahead guys!
Great for you all. After all the work to see you untie the lines. You are an inspiration to us to keep going. Hope to meet one day.
Totally L.O.V.E. Port Townsend !!!
The look on Emma's face is priceless !
Beautiful sights of
the continuing adventure. I'd be a total wreck but then again, I'm a retired truck driver not a Boat Capt. Look forward to the future and I know your going to be busy as 5 cats in a sand box. It's beautiful there and know you's planned this long time back, continued good winds and smooth waters, well once off hard pack, thanks for the views !!
Good job guys. The adventure begins.
Wow! What a privilege. Thanks for taking us along for the ride
Awesome you’re under way! Can’t wait until the real splash date!
What a team!!!
Such an inspiration!
Awesome to see it on the water, moving along on its own power. The next few weeks will fly by
and new adventures will begin.
I feel like I am on that boat... So so happy for you guys
I've binge watched all 64 episodes in a few days, really enjoyed the refit process you've documented, really keen on getting my own boat and spending a few years doing the same thing you've done I like the idea of having a really challenging long term project and yours (and a few other channels) has been quite inspirational, thank you for documenting your process as well as you have.
Teal as a Cat owner let me suggest that when maneuvering at slow speeds you center your rudders and steer with your engines. I learned this the hard way. It really helps!
good insight into a dog's mind (probably) Emma
Watching a kid grow up sailing is very exciting
What a moment, I am so very happy for you guys, well done all of you, a great team especially Compas.
thanks for sharing the video congratulations
So happy for you! Must be a strange feeling to maybe sometimes think of your Seattle berth as still "home"? but really your home is where you are now...thanks so much for sharing this trip...
!! Many Re Run's!! for this Vid.
Thanks Brian! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Nice video! It was nice to see those locks again, and getting out to sea. Been through those few times, in apprx. 1995-1997. Hopefully some day I will get to see them again, on my own boat, and see the world.
Congratulations on the move!
Beautiful boat
So cool to see you guys underway. Congrats!
Congrats guys! Major Progress!
Awesome !!!! Good job guys!!!!!
So excited for all of you! I was not aware it had been 10 years!
I have been following your adventures from the beginning and thought this day would soon be a reality. Congratulations on everything that you have accomplished. I can't wait to see what's coming up next.
Congrats on your new adventure guys! So so exciting! Remember to give yourselves a pat on the shoulder for all the things you've accomplished so far! :)
Thanks guys! Its been pretty hectic since we left. So much to do. We will definitely toast once we splash back into the water. 👍🏻🥂🍾🥃
Nice...Thanks for sharing...
Looking great guys
Side profile looks very smooth
Nice work! Congrats.
So happy for you and your family big day glad you can start enjoying you time
Great to see you finally on your way!
Hello Teal, Linh and Emma, congratulations, you have accomplished so much, Teal´s skills are amazing, you´ve done such an incredible job refitting your boat, you are a beautiful family, I enjoy watching your videos very much, so best wishes in this amzing journey that has just begun, greetings and lots of love to you all
Wow!!! I wasn't expecting that this week. I thought you were several weeks away from going on the hard. Great job by a great crew. I don't think it would have been possible if not the tremendous effort by Compass.
Oh what a feeling. I bet it was nice on the water while it lasted. Please notify us ahead of time before the live chat starts.
Congrats! and thank you for including us. I follow 21 sailing vessels of beauty. I put you guys in a group of your own or of 3, that is ,the top three. Those sailors that know sailing inside and out. You have done the work. Paid your dues. I wish you fair winds and friendly ports of calls. I hope you continue to take us along. The 1st book took a while but and was superb--the best is yet to come. sincerely s
Top notch !
congratulations
Hello Basik Crew,
I wish my comments were working as great as your Wonderful Yacht, I've been having a streak of bad luck in losing my comment after spending to much time writing one. This is such a proud moment for your family, with the SV Basik performing her first Sea Trial with No Problems. I must add, that the Crew also did an amazing job transiting the Lock, Bridges, and 40+ mile motoring to the Island. What a Great day, Love Y'all.
Congrats..well done ... it’s a joy to see you all sailing,,
Congratulations!!! The hardest part of any journey is tossing those lines. Now the adventure begins. Fair winds and following seas!
BEST VIDEO EVER!! Don't get me wrong. I've really enjoyed watching all of the work and learned quite a bit as well. However, this video brought tears to my eyes seeing you guys cast off the lines after 10 years. I am so happy for you, words can't describe it. I know it's going to be the same feeling when I do it myself. Can't wait to see Basik back in the water with her sails full and putting miles under the rudders.
Wow it’s nice to see that she’s finally moving with her own power and that your hard work pays its a beautiful feeling success congratulations 🍾🎈🎊🎉 I can’t wait to see design that you are going to come up with for the top covering the helms area with solar panels you had mentioned hmm 🤔 can’t wait
Another great channel that I found to watch. You are a lovely family. I am looking forward to seeing the boat using sail power.
Thanks and Welcome Andrew! 🙌🙌
congratulations!!!
I think Compass should get his own spin-off show!!!
Emma is soooooo growing up and Linh's counsel as leaving the locks was timely and soooo right on. Cruising is real and always need to keep what's going on front and center (paraphrased :-| )
Must have been a great feeling to get under way after such a long time. A taster of things to come, and we're looking forward to staying with you for the adventures to come.
The SMILE on my face is as big as Texas....with love from texas......
Sooo excited for you all!! Well done!
Wish I had known of you guy back then . We had a boat in the Montlake cut back then . It's now in Olympia area
Congrats guys!!! It must feel amazing.
what bloody great job you have done well done
i have seen in other couples/family sailing channels a recommendation for the wife to helm the boat to allow the husband to be able to do the heavy work of sail changes, pushing/fending off, and any other heavy tasks at need - your wife can learn to helm, harder for her to do emergency tasks that require greater strengths, in either case it may be wise to have everyone aboard experienced in all tasks in case of emergency - congratulations by the way! really excited for you all.
Congratulations!
Very exciting watching your exit from Seattle, although I felt like crying for a bit!
That makes me long for the early mornings when it's cool, light misty fog, and sitting out on deck with a good cup of coffee.
Same here I can hardly wait for the trips to Blake island on our boat this summer. Evenings out on the back deck watching the sunset listing to Otis Redding Sittin on the dock of the bay. But the quiet mornings with a hot cup of coffee smelling the morning salt air. Well there's nothing like those moments. I hope you get as many as you wish for. I will try to do the same.
It's ALIVE!
Looking at your helm set up I can see that in a high sea's set up your going to looking for a helm-dodger set up pretty quickly. The rain and wind off that cabin will be wicked!
God has blessed you with this day! I lived up there in the PNW for 45 years and this weather certainly made me miss it. But then I remember.......
So cool, loved watching you all go through the locks :) Safe travels! Stefan, Robbi & Ben
You guys are an absolute gem!. Most sailing channels are like the Flintstones and you guys are like the Jetsons. Keep her steady as she goes and ignore the critics. As Teddy Roosevelt said in the speech Life In A Republic, it is not the critic that counts. In Pt Townsend There is a good sail loft, Carole Hass. You might consider painting the aluminum instead of polish, there are great primers and paints for aluminum now, please seriously consider replacing the corroded aluminum strut ends and use PTFE pipe dope for anti seize everywhere. Your boat is a bit of a hot rod and synthetic rigging might be an option.
With Teals skill set and resume I see no reason why you couldn't work your way around the world. I really enjoy the cooking segments as well. An army marches on its stomach and Lynn has that covered. Emma brings a lot of positive energy to the channel.
Smooth Sailing!
damn...made me cry
Fantastic work, the trip both begins and continues. Much respect for all of your hard work.
I literally had tears running down my face as you pulled away from the dock for the first time. It’s been a pleasure watching all the great work you guys have done. So excited to watch as you guys get ready to set sail. O yes those tears ........ that’s was flowing down my face was from me crying wishing that was me. Great work gang. .......
Nice! SV Basic sharing the narrow gap under the bridge with Walter Scott's Ice Bear!
Congratulations, I look forward to the videos and projects every week.
Such an emotional event for you and I’m sure us as well. Congratulations to the crew.
Wow that's so awesome to see you guys finally made it out!! Congrats that's a huge step forward!! Soooo looking forward to future episodes
wow guys the beginning of a new journey
you all looked so proud and justly so
teal u are the man
with an awesome crew too
all the best for the future
{:-) PAV uk
Must have been emotional to leave dock after a decade, good job!
It was a very special day for us.
Of course you're all excited to cast off but so are your legion of followers. Would love to meet you one day and tour that magnificent craft, against which I measure all others btw.
It must be amazing for Emma to be underway in a boat she's grown up on. Congratulations on all the excellent work you've all done.
Milestone ! One BIG step to the upcoming adventure for an amazing family (more cooking episodes please).
So exciting to see SV Basik underway! I can only imagine how the crew feels after so many years of dedicated preparation at the dock. Congrats, guys!
There were almost no words. We are so excited for this next chapter. Thanks for following our journey. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I am so happy for your family......
It is absolutely gorgeous up in your neck of the country! When its not raining!
Great Job Crew. Get that bottom power washed right away‼️ Boat Engines seemed to have performed well. Excited for next video, want to see how the bottom looks. THANK YOU For Sharing Your Experience. 👍👍⛵️ Vinny 🇺🇸
Wohoo! I started watching not that long ago it seems. Wondered if you all just live at the dock. I must say, little emotional to see you get started on your adventure. Time, adjustments, acclimate to things and you'll be fine.
Great job guys!
I’ve been watching since the new windows went in. I feel like I know your boat so well, and I have never sailed a day in my life!. Watching you guys work so hard to get to this stage has been an inspiration. Can’t wait to follow your adventures as your horizons open up. All the best guys.
I can't wait to see what kind of Helm seat you install. Should be pretty cool!
