Ep 141 the BEST snorkeling in a while!!
Ep 141 June '24 bequia, We are reunited with remedy from year one and excited to hang out and travel with them again, Bequia is the perfect place to relax and meet people. It is such a cool town with great access for cruisers. The snorkeling right off your boat is amazing ( not as good since hurricane beryl ). All kinds of beautiful coral with lots of color and great wildlife. Beautiful fish, stingrays and octopus call this little bay home.#cruisinglife #sailinglife #sailinglifestyle #sailinglovers #sailingfun #monohull #sailboat #bequia #snorkeling #snorkelingadventure #snorkelingparadise #octopus #easterncaribbean

Ep. 137 Antigua to St Barts Mar '24. Wil and Tori on Felina peel off and head north as their sailing adventure starts to come to an end for now. Very sad to lose the longest and well match buddy boat. We hope that when Will makes his next cool million on his book they will rejoin us on the Sea. #cruisinglife #sailinglife #monohull #sailinglifestyle #solosailing #antigua #whales #travelbysea #st...

Zipline @ The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs
Переглядів 1862 місяці тому
2nd of 3 videos from our trip to visit Kaley in Colorado( about 10 months ahead of current episodes). Highly recommend this zipline trip. It is well worth the cost and the views are spectacular. Kaley did a great job running the course, you can tell she really loves being up and out there!! #Broadmoor #zipline #coloradosprings

In October '24 we went home for Kathleens wedding and squeezed in a trip to see Braelyns new house and visit with Kaley and Eddie in Colorado. The next few videos are about 10 months ahead of my current episodes but I thought I would get them up for everyone to see. #coloradosprings #gardenofthegods

Hope you got it sorted out , thanks for sharing
You guys crack me up! Miss you!
😂😂😂 we miss you guys as well!!
Fantastic cruising ground . Wish us Canadians had an island .
It is truely one of our favorite places. We are actually here right now!
@ Enjoy , it’s -16 C up here brrrr . Love the BVI. As well , there are still spots around there were you can almost be alone 👍
Looks like a great day for a sail. I carry a sewing machine on board for just such an emergency . There are a lot of good lofts there to get repairs done, thanks for another great video .
We can hand sew, but no sewing machine.
Which month is this pls? Thanks 🌷
Pretty sure it was July of ‘23. We were heading to Grenada after hurricane brett
@ many thanks and best wishes!
Nice i just subscribe to your video
Man I cant wait to get down there on my own boat !. Chartering and delivering for 35 years is just not the same . Tough to lose sailing friends but new ones are always around. Whales are amazing , if not a little scary , what damage they can do to a boat , yikes . Thanks for sharing again
When are you heading out? It’s a great life! ( most days😂)
@ Boat is all ready to go . I have another year to retirement. How long have you been down there ?
We left SC in December of ‘22, did 3 months in the Bahamas and then started making our way south . We will head West this spring
sounds great , not sure if I’m gonna head west , I don’t want to have to beat back LOL . Plus I could sail the Lesser Antilles forever .
it's pronouned Domi-neeca
Spinnaker and full awning
Looks like a comfortable sail with that configuration at the beginning . Im not a fan of downwind sailing either. What happened to your auto pilot?
At the time we were not sure, but we later have to replace the ram all together. Aj tried a rebuild kit and that did not work. the video is about 10 months behind so this will not be the last you hear of auto pilot problems. We finally get it fixed for the Final time in St Maarten in December '24
@@svhappyplace8603 Yeah those rams go all the time . Our autopilot uses a rotary motor with a rack and pinion . I carry a spare motor just in case .
That looked like an Island Packet. Always lots of wind down there. Thanks for sharing
It was! Our buddy boat Felina is an IP!
@@svhappyplace8603 Thought so , she was clipping along nicely
Nice video!!
Thanks, it’s not my strength, but I try to make them watchable🤣
Stay safe Amigo!!
Thats a great anchor , I have the same one , boy what an upgrade from an old CQR ! How do you like yours down in those waters .
We always feel safe with our anchor!!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Will be going there next Easter.
Hope you enjoy it!
Love your videos , I’m a solo sailer as well . Will be down there soon . I will be following .
Awesome! Thank you! My wife just joined me back on the boat in MAy. So much better with a partner. We will be in the northern Caribbean for a bit then heading west this season!
@@svhappyplace8603 Thats Great ! I give my wife two months on the boat out of 6 , she doesn't love it as much as me . But thats ok Im a happy solo sailor . I have been to the western Caribbean , not crazy about it , I wont go again. Are you planing to do the Canal and continue on ?
👏👏👏
I so want to try this, but I also am terrified of heights! I think I would need drugs. But I still kind of want to try it. You are so brave, and you did great!
AJ is also terrified of heights, but he did ok
testing 123
Thanks. I’m not the best editors but I try to make them fun. Yes we are on a caliber 47
AJ...time for a FEW LESS SNICKERS!
I wish I found you channel sooner , you dont need or really want those keel cooled units.
@@svsalserenity4375 our boat was built with these units.
Great video. I just found your channel . What make of boat do you have there, looks like a Perry boat . Or is it a Caliber.
It is a caliber 47 LRC. w\We love it!
Ok, now change your underwear 😅
I really appreciate it your content is beautiful
Am Grenadian thank you for the content
You guys are so handy!
Necessity!!!
land where my father died...RIP daddy! Grandma Hunt and Auntie Murtle...
Beautiful!! Thank you!
One of our favorite place, unfortunately it was almost wiped out with hurricane Beryl this June
We break out into a party when we hit 7 knots !! Good going
SAME!!!!
Mount it on one of your railings with a rod holder ! A lot of people do that
adding an Arch here in Trinidad so that will solve the problem!!
My 2 cents- mount it on the back with the option of leaving it up while you sail- ours works pretty good while sailing so it’s a nice to have.
@@SailingMarly yep, we just moved it to the back where our wind generator used to be

Turtles are pretty magical.
