Great video. Definitely gives a bit of reality check for many who don't understand how much routine maintenance goes into the daily boat routine.

I remember going to the Cook islands in 1989. I booked for 3 weeks, others a few days. So glad I stayed longer.

I still loved it. A day in the life. No rush to go anywhere. No impending storm. No entry exit red tape hassles ! No major breakdowns. Love you both. Thanks for sharing.

Why don’t you have a nas? I just built a 40 TB nas, so much better than a bunch of ssd’s and hard drives for storing all that 4K footage. Larry

Not sure if it has been mentioned but i believe the reason the stanchion bases cracked is primarily due to galvanic corrosion between the aluminum base and the stainless steel stanchions - see all the white alu-oxide in the cracks? Do yourselves a favor and spray some Boeshield T-9 or some other lubricant into the space between the base and the stanchion, thus trying to isolate the aluminum and the stainless steel. Ideally, remove all the other stanchions and isolate it with a physical barrier from the aluminum base - something like electrical tape but preferably a Delrin spacer. It's a lot of work, so spraying the bases with a lubricant on a regular basis is probably more feasible. As a matter of principle, always try to avoid getting different metals in contact with one another in the presence of water - it'll save you a lot of headaches.

So, when the camera's not on, do you throttle each other? j/k. Lovely couple, enjoying the videos, thx.

I hope someone has suggested already, since you often watch dolphins and the bottom with the underwater camera... but can't it bluetooth to your iPad if you temporarily lower it to the bottom of a hull(s) feeding back to the helm? Now THAT'S digital! Rig something up for skinny water or manta rays and your Jacques Cousteau! Haha.

Your video file storage could benefit from having a dedicated NAS on board.. another item that would need to wait until you get to New Zealand/Australia.

how many guns?

Why not collect rainwater for cleaning?

Just rewatched your Marquesas video where you had the allergic reaction to taro leaves. I live in Hawaii and yes, many people have elevated reaction to certain taro leaves though never seen one as bad as what you had. You also said that you may be allergic to mango skins. That's also a common thing here but it is not the skin of the mango. It is the mango sap that causes a reaction. As long as you don't touch the sap, you'll be ok.

Would love to see more what you eat in a day

Great video!

You wonder if the fish’s mouth heals after being hooked? 🤔🤔

You are the best

You guys should become beta users for Starlink and do an update of this topic! I'm HOPING they are fully up and running by the time I start living aboard !

You two have gotten really weird being on land too long! I still love your videos! Glad to see you’re back in your natural element.

"Soften our assumptions" Well said. Especially for a couple of overanalyzers like you and me. You guys had my attention from "tea with a nature's head" 6 or so years ago, which backed me up to I Love (the letter) "U". A lifetime adventurist, sailor, innovator myself, I was never one to spend much time watching UZpost. I think you where my first subscription. 2020 was definitely a learning year for many of us that have the never quit attitudes.. Good to see you on the water. BTW overanalyzers is a compliment to intelligent people like you guys. Many High-IQ People Tend to Be Overthinkers: They Incessantly Overanalyze Everything There’s this old Zen parable that relates how over-analysis is a common attribute of intelligent people. A Zen master was resting with his quick-witted disciple. At one point, the master took a melon out of his bag and cut it in half for the two of them to eat. In the middle of the meal, the enthusiastic disciple said, “My wise teacher, I know everything you do has a meaning. Sharing this melon with me may be a sign that you have something to teach me.” The master continued eating in silence. “I understand the mysterious question in your silence,” insisted the student. “I think it is this: the excellent taste of this melon that I am experiencing … is the taste on the melon or on my tongue …” The master still said nothing. The disciple got a bit frustrated at his master’s apparent indifference. The disciple continued, ” … and like everything in life, this too has meaning. I think I’m closer to the answer; the pleasure of the taste is an act of love and interdependence between the two, because without the melon there wouldn’t be an object of pleasure and without pleasure …” “Enough!” exclaimed the master. “The biggest fools are those who consider themselves the most intelligent and seek an interpretation for everything! The melon is good; please let this be enough. Let me eat it in peace!”

Stomach in knots from a cyclone or uti? We will never know! 😆

Gosh, that's a beautiful life <3

T la meilleur, on t adore ???

Wow simple is so great . We love spending time on the boat just floating . AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING

Hello from canada ottawa

Mono folks especially 4 daysailors and smaller trips they are more versatile in these regards. And practical the are not wide af.

Excuse mee but how often do you shift out the "ropewoork" on the steeringweel? Suppose there could bee a lot of rost under....if it is steel under offcorse?! Barbro Sweden

please take care and loving our ocean, don't simply throw the rubbish into the ocean!

You guys are soooo entertaining! Every time I see your cats my heart melts ❤️

You have come full circle back to 'life on the boat' in the middle of a pandemic!

Moving lots of files on WIndows? Google an app called Teracopy, it'll make it sooooo much easier.

Is there a kick-starter campaign....??? ps: please tell Mark that Patrick Lowe from Cape Town (Fish Hoek & Kommetjie) says hello, if he remembers him. He might remember Simon Lowe (CT big-wave surfer).

Love the blue eyes on little 🐠

Stanchion base Fix: use a hose clamp to hold it together. Not pretty, but will prevent it from getting worse. And might hold better if you fall against it.

Fun stuff!!

How sure of that mooring were you? Sometimes your own tackle is better if there's space and you are allowed to anchor. Hope you dive inspected it as so many boats have gotten damged from bad moorings failing.

All song name

I'd give anything to be somewhere hot again.

Hey you can make coconut candy with your left over coconut

a couple of pilgrims, on there Banana Boat

I love nikkis hair short like this! Also love the “boring days”

You guys are awesome!!!

You guys are fun to watch. Love your videos. Thanks. Glad you are back on your boat.

Screw the bat. That's the zombie virus right there.

Next video: The bat didn't make it, so we decided to make bat soup and thus discovered a new virus

Look at those coconuts and what she’s holding lol

Oh man, you make everything look amazing! 😂

Ice freezes “solid” is the word you were looking for, not hard.

Nice video, especially fun to watch after a crazy day. Thanks for all the effort putting it together and posting!

What was the very last song and artist?

"Tap into your inner MacGyver" Ha ha, That's Gold!!

Starter solenoid.

You should do more of these. It is very relaxing

ALL CANCER patients must see the the Joe Tippens blog. He was given 2 weeks to live 3 yrs ago. He's alive and well today. PLEASE read his Blog, and follow what he did. Save your lives.

IMO, Spanish Mackerel are the best eating fish by far!

Fantastic lighthouse, wow! ❤️❤️❤️

never feel bad of the normal days content. it's fun and relaxing watching you two do anything and everything. you can just lay there for 3 hours and do absolutely nothing and I'd still enjoy it. Peace!! :)

Isn’t the spinnaker too small for that boat?

Need to learn your hand signals while riding a bike, Jason...as a driver in a college town, I can’t tell you how aggravating it is when you have to drive your car and anticipate the bike rider in front of you, just sayin’. 🤓

Nice video clip of Palmerston Atoll glad you and your family enjoyed yourselves on this beautiful island I was happy watching this thank you😀

I want to move to that island and eat fish and coconuts. High “civilized” society is not attractive anymore

new viewing loving it, Cant afford a boat so letting someone else live my dreams :)

What was the funnel/strainer thing you used on the water tank and where did you find it?

Cat walking

Thank you both, the curry was a 10 and so was my last 27:35!

I enjoyed that. Thanks for taking us along. - Ben

Someones been sleeping in my bed....and someone’s been sleeping in my bed too....

We had to go back and watch this video after visiting South Pass for ourselves. We CANNOT BELIEVE you dove at night on your own! You guys are awesome.

Do you upload all your videos to storage in the cloud like OneDrive with the hard drives as redundancy?

It’s what you call a bitter sweet.

Dream life.. Thank You both!!

By the way, how did you learn to sail?

You guys are inspiring me. I just need to convince the wife but she'll come round..

Put a couple of steel hose clamps on the Stanchion base until you can get a proper repair. Not idea but it should help.

A couple of hose clamps on that stanchion base would be a good temporary fix..

if you don't have a dog these days you can blame it on the camera

How is Mark now please tell me he is ok. Marks family and mark have worked hard they all deserve the good life.

I hope mark is doing ok. He is one of a kind a very special dude.

Good to see you back. Is Iridium Go as good as they say?

about that.

I feel like we need to do this in the US right about now 😩😂

I love....love....love your cats! I’m impressed how you guys take everything in stride! I’m binge watching, it’s 4am.....I’m pretending I’m along ....🤩
