We, a couple of weekend sailors ourselves, spent the same weekend in Sydney Harbour. We were quite cold outside of the water and couldn't imagine going for a swim or a dive, especially not without towels. And... out of all places to see sharks in Pittwater, most locals suggested Lion Island. You guys are clearly way tougher than us. Living on a boat for two years probably does that to you. Good luck with your job, Gozde is actually an architect in Canberra and is well familiar with the grind.
In truth, we were pretty silly to be swimming in low vis round lion island 🦈 ...We obviously did a very good job of hiding the fact we were scared and cold!
7:13 Feeder arm on winch is about 180 out. Should face you not face over board. Think when you snug it, stronger to pull tords your self not away. It's easy to flip around. Thanks for your show your killing it.
Hey guys, loved seeing you back in Pittwater, where I learnt to sail in late 2018. I'm a liveaboard on Lostura in Turkey, with my schoolmate who taught me how to sail, Frederick Mancer. (you've chatted with him a few times). I'm happy to see you're both safe and well and look forward to your new adventures around Pittwater :)
Been following you all for quite a while now. You have been my inspiration to make a go at living and sailing full time. But all great plans take time. I truly think your time on land will be enjoyable, but fear you will miss the freedom and enjoyment. Regardless please don't fall into the work work work life. Keep living as if there is no tomorrow and enjoy each moment life offers you
I think I found a new Covid binge. This episode caught my eye as my wife and I love Australia and Sydney. We're also sailors in the Puget Sound area. I am a plumbing project designer for a Consulting firm with branches in Australia I plan to visit. Beautiful weekend anchorage!
.... Yes priorities in life ..... who creates your priorities or do you yourself ..... way back in the early days there was a conversation of when you first met up snowboarding and went on to Jackson wanting to sail around the world but no for some time and as the conversation continued it was decided to do it now and the search for a boat commenced .. think that is the first time I saw your priorities change .... must say I have enjoyed watching your journey through life so far .... weekenders is a good way to keep the lust alive while building the kitty .... thx for sharing .... never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .... have fun be safe, save our oceans .....
And to add to why I love you so much. You didn't need a big fancy sail boat. So many of other live at sail video, people have to get the biggest sailboat the can find.
What kind of sailors are you know towels so what you're saying is good to have a home base and it's weird it's hot here and cold there Jackson's hair is almost getting as long as mine LOL🐝
I want to thank you for sharing your story I’ve been popping in now and then form the start I found Jackson’s job interesting I’m a design engineer by trade as well I just never would of thought Jackson would of been an architect civil engineer? nice job 👍 Jackson for getting back in the rat race xanthe nice job with the videos I don’t think you get enough credit you truly are a gem I’ll be honest the lips in the still shot kinda freaked me out lol
The thing about you two, something comes up, that I find remarkable. Of course Jackson is an architect. When I think back about the data collection on the colour , time and general performance, ie, catch rate and number of fish caught, of his fishing lures, and his chart derived from said data, well, it's now obvious... And since you have both been living in Avalon, well, now that you know what really maters, Said architecturally drawn house plans including bush water feature, will be an absolutely Bobby Dazzler of a house... Mrs Xanthe, can be the best option in boat sales convincing the reluctant women how sailing is so easy to learn, with advice on all issues associated with such a change of life for them... Happy wife, happy captain... see, that was easy...
What has happened to you two? I have written twice without acknowledgement, which is unlike you. I know you are busy with the baby and that is understandable but, I sent funds via Patreon and not even so much as a thumbs up?
I'm not quite sure what it was about this particular video but while watching it I was asked 5, yes I counted them, five times to sign a birthday card for Donald Trump. Yeah, right. Like I am going to do that. As likely as a cold Foster's on planet Venus.
Been watching you a long time and your channel is a hoot. One of the very best.
@14:55; Ha ha ha, Margaret Pomeranz and David Whats-his-name(?) eat your hearts out!!!
X you know Jackson very well. You guys are chute together.
Much respect to you Jackson for going back to work and not always wanting others to make your dream live come true.
Xanthe dancing on the boat made me really happy.
@20:03; Ha ha ha, love the intensity of your stare!!! :-)
@7:05; Is that Yeomans??? (I was just about to suggest either Yeomans, or Pinta Bay!!! :-D
So great to see what you guys are up to now! keep living it up and chasing those dreams!
Love you guys, I can't believe that you're finishing you're adventure. Best wishes guys, you're a source of inspiration for many people like me.
@9:05; Ba ha ha ha, watch out for the recoil if that stern line parts. It’ll be BYE BYE 🥩🥩
Glad to see you and Jackson adjusting to life ashore 👍👍🙂 good going guys

Your review score of 4.85 is pretty precise. Loved your happy dance on the deck. Wishing you both good health and happiness.
Jackson good luck w your new job! Enjoy your videos very much. Hope you can find a new good balance between architecture and sailing.

Thanks for your show your killing it.
You guys are great , thanks for the fun vid . 🤦🏼mouth thing was freaky 🤣😂🤣🇿🇦
Ha ha ha, bloody weekend warriors! (What a pair of amateurs!) ;-)
Online movie reviews, now that's original! lol. The modern-day Bill Collins. ha ha
Lovely & all is good when the worst that happens is you only have tiny towels and no garlic.
Where are they now?

Hi guys
What paddle board is that? Looking for one ourselves and we’re in Pittwater too.

Well done again.. Jackson with the 10m jump and Xanthe with massive 2.5m!
Thank you ☺️
@8:20; Ooh, only three beers and a cider, better pop into Patonga (Oh no, wait. Pub’s shut. SHIT!!! What we gonna do???) ;-)
😭
I wondered what you were doing with the hose at the end!!

It appears this was your last video ... sad to see you go ... will you be back?
Awesome 👍👍
@0:36; Ha ha, when you mentioned how Rolly it was, I thought I saw you making some lame joke about putting on your seatbelts!😏
Nice video. I enjoy your adventure. FYI while you were gone the man bun thing ended. So... you know what to do.
What kind of sailors are you know towels so what you're saying is good to have a home base and it's weird it's hot here and cold there Jackson's hair is almost getting as long as mine LOL🐝
❤👍👍👍from you friend in Syracuse NY
Not quite like cozying up in Canada for the winter!
Yeah, no salmon to be seen round these parts
hahah mad dogs!
@7:30; Ahh, Jerusalem.... (My bad!) :-(
I have to correct you about the world's smallest penguin.
Indeed you are correct. 😀

Taking slower?? You guys couldn't stand staying in one spot for long. It was in one of your episodes. 😉
Oh god no standing still, yuck. Just a bit more time to have a break from long sailing passages, and less urgency around boat maintenance.
Fantastic videos.. are you going to come to Sydney harbour on a weekend?
Yes! ...Jackson will need to take a couple of days off work to make it worth while 🙄
Lol I am a triathlete and pee in my wetsuit all the time!

I was asked 5, yes I counted them, five times to sign a birthday card for Donald Trump.
Yeah, right. Like I am going to do that. As likely as a cold Foster's on planet Venus.
@6:35 what's with it with u Aussie girls?? xante and elayna and a bunch more ,,, i wanna be reborn or at least migrate to DU
