- Sailing from Rio Dulce to Roatan, Utila, Guanaja and onto the Florida Keys. This is about the journey, the weather, the boat and the adventure. We return to the USA after 4 and half months away. See us diving, snorkeling, in bad weather, cleaning the boat... AND see two other Nordhavn 62's. 6229 and 6232.... Do you know the names of those 62's? Watch the video as we catch up with them also.
Nice video. Thank you Capt.
Nrodhavn's have a great sense of community and seem to gather together whenever one stops . Thanks for the video.
Great, the sailing community generally play nice.
Mclaren drivers do this in the car circle
Awesome travelogue. What a terrific trip. Keep the videos coming please 👍🏻👏
Glad you liked it
Happy birthday 🎈 Leslie 🦜
Videos keep getting better with each one. Thanks for taking us along.
Glad you like them! Pleasing to know we are doing better! Keep watching please.
Another wonderful video! Happy B-Day to the Admiral.
Loving the boat. Always has us googly eyed!
Thank you and keep watching please.

Of course! I have to keep track of our next boat!!
Absolutely lovely, thank you so much for sharing all this with us.
Glad you enjoyed it. Keep watching, like and subscribe.
I do love the color that you chose for the Hull of your yacht
Almost everyone likes it. Only two people have expressed reservation.
Such a great video, thx a lot
Glad you liked it!
Frank, if I can be so bold, I must say that you have a very nice speaking voice. Easy to listen to.
Wow, thank you!
Hello, I just met you're channel yesterday, and I'm loving it. Great content. Hope to see until the last video posted, and even more future videos week by week I hope. Greetings from Zurich Switzerland.
Welcome aboard! Thanks for writing, new video coming SOON
I gotta say that I truly enjoyed y'all's adventure/journey sharing them with excellent video work. I like how you show all of the daily life as a motor cruiser. You show cruising (that I like in all kinds of sea conditions) what it is like at ports or marinas wherever you were, the scuba shots, taking trips to different sites of interest, showing the towns that you visited, and the sun rises/sunsets. Keep up the awesome work. What are your future plans? 🤠
At the moment the plans are to head to Bahamas for a couple of months, then we will see... we have a couple of choices... awaiting some insurance feedback.
Great stuff guys! Hope to catch up somewhere along your route to Panama..
I hope so too! I am sure we will find a way!
Happy late birthday miss Leslie 🎉😊
😊 thank you
It looks like one of the owners of that yacht prior to you sprung for the chrome valve covers on your engine that use the extra cost
The boat looks sharp!
thank you
Great episode! Stay safe and keep rolling! Happy birthday! Welcome back to the States!👍👍
It was great to be back, but my the sticker prices! Things have gone up! Thanks for watching.
@@MVKariwaN62 👍👍😲😲💲💲
Great video. Awesome times
Was fun. When I was not seasick 🤢
Ugh!!! AGAIN!
Great videos. You mention in the video that the depth while crossing the Rio Dulce bar was 2 1/2 feet. Is that the depth under the keel or the actual depth? Can a sailboat that has a 9 1/2 feet draft be towed over that bar?
Hi, that's the depth under the keel. It eventually became zero, but very soft mud. We were drawing about 7ft. Yes a sailboat of 9 1/2ft could make the bar. They would attach a line to mast top, and careen (pull the boat over to the side) and have one boat hauling and another keeping you tilted. There are 9ft draft sailboats up the river.
💙💙💙💙💙💙
At sunset looks like it was taken right from Grand theft Auto vice city. It's beautiful
We get great sunsets and sunrises at sea.
Nice video, would be helpful to say where and how you clear back into the USA.
Thanks for the comment. You are right, We should have mentioned it. We cleared in passing Key West using the ROAM app, it is electronic and easy.
@@MVKariwaN62 Thanks, ROAM is great for US citizens coming into Florida in private vessels. Doesn't work quite as well coming from Mexico on the west coast.
Fair winds and happy travels. Nice to hear my own dialect. Which school were you at?
Allan Wilson and Sinoia
@@MVKariwaN62 happy birthday to Leslie! While I was watching your video it struck me how many people make great claims about their adventures and create a great fuss. You on the other hand are living absolute adventure and doing it with a sense of calm and pleasure thanks for bringing us along.
Guatemalan fjords!
🥰👍🤍💜💚🧡❤️
What month was the video shot?
December?
Feeling ill just watching those swells. I would not do very well.
I always think of you when it gets rough out there
@@lesliecoles7185 Ugh!!!!
At least you're in a boat that can take the abuse of the weather
Nordhavn 62... the iconic passage maker, everything else is a compromise for luxury over safety ;)
@@MVKariwaN62 I love what nordhavn has built for themselves I'm really into Bering yachts they're built as ocean-going small ships
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Nordhavn have built over 600 vessels. I think Bering haven't done 50? What I will say is that is that the block coefficient of a Bering looks to be high, ie they have a very full hull shape underwater. The Bering 65 seems heavier than a N62, with less draft. which implies a fat hull. Modern boats including some Nordhavns seem to have given up their seaworthyness and ride for comforts inside... pretty and pretty uncomfortable ....
@@MVKariwaN62 I'm not saying nordhavn sore bad yachts they are really good also bearing is less than 10 years old but they have made more mega then nordhavn. In the model N 120 there was a major court case in Canada over that one and I think the fiasco happened because too much male pride and testosterone was put in the mix and that's why I wound up in court instead of being dealt with by nordhavn it was a brand-new ship and the owner rejected it
That is such a nice looking trawler. At 14:23 watching Kariwa from outside is a great shot and @ 11:25 looking at that awesome diesel engine - wow. Then those shots of the deck as you motor are nice. In fact, I wonder how a channel would do if you had a live feed streaming as you motored 24/7. Just a HD image with engine sounds and a front or rear video stream. You may get a lot of views as it is strangely comforting to watch and the engine has a soothing / memorizing sound. Of course you would need lots of internet bandwidth, but if it could be done you would be one of the first to offer it. There are people with millions of views doing this of their fireplace or views out a cottage window.
Great idea. Would we do it on TH-cam?
@@MVKariwaN62 Yes, this should be doable on youtube as I have seen others stream live. If possible, the ideal set-up would be one camera facing the front, one camera facing the rear, and one with a view of the engine room with all those lovely diesel sounds. Although you may well be able to hear the engine from the rear view camera. There are increasingly popular "white noise" videos of rain or what not, and that engine would work wonders. But I am not aware of anyone so far being able to stream long form content of sailing/motoring as I suspect that the bandwidth issue has stopped them. You have no idea how many people would love to see this (remember, no music sound overs - just normal natural sounds of waves crashing, engine noise, rain etc.) and no fast forwarding etc.
@@MVKariwaN62 ..once you have proof tested it, you may wish to setup a new channel MV Kariwa LIVE or maybe put it on the regular channel - not sure about how youtube algorithms treat this but being first to market should be a great thing. You can post the dates and times of travel and invite people to join the journey "live"
How are you guys doing? Is there a site to track your GPS location for those who want to track your voyage and see where you have made it to?
