I don’t have those charts loaded right now because we are on the east coast. Eric says less than 100 miles. The waters are pretty protected.

Thank you 😊 Best wishes to you guys… maybe I’ll run into y’all somewhere around POW… I plan on making that area my new stomping grounds

Thanks!

So glad you found us!!!

Thank you for watching!

We will!

Us too!

Sorry for the late reply! Eric recalls the last name Natkong from when we lived in Hydaburg during 1976-77. I want to say the person I’m thinking of was in the military/army, perhaps during the Vietnam war, and was quite a bit older than me.

Thank you! We may have found a new niche.

@@havaseas How are you both and the dog with the new niche? Where can I find you all?

We did sell the N55 but we bought a N50 on the east coast. We have been working thru the new boat blues. Lots of videos from where we have been cruising. Trying to figure out a new niche.

@@havaseas so glad to see you guys back and I will look forward to seeing your videos soon

We are starting to think about a new niche…. We might be back.

You’re welcome 😊 I always wonder what will be available in the small towns.

I hope you said hi to him!

We didn’t need that big of boat and we wanted to downsize costs too.

@@havaseas I’m curious, but wouldn’t going through the hoops/costs of selling and buying a new boat (to reduce the length by 5 feet) outweigh any potential savings?

Good question. It certainly is best to get it right the first time! Unfortunately we did not. Although the 50 is only 5’ less. The overall size and weight of the boat is like 30% less. It was also close to half the price. Our new boat is only 3 years older. We were actually planning to get a 43 when we started the process but this boat seemed to be a good fit.

We are still out here! Lots going on. I am trying to figure out if we are going to continue with the videos. I do need to get our boat tour of the 55 completed at least. If you are on Instagram or FB we do post there.

@havaseas for what it's worth my wife and I really liked your videos.

We were tempted! Seems like a nice community!

Thanks!

It was a pretty cool place. I haven’t watched the show but Eric has.

That is a very good question! The communities were and still may be served by Alaska Power and Telephone diesel generators. The Haida Corporation has submitted a proposal to the Alaska Energy Authority to construct and operate a hydro electrical project on Reynolds Creek. I am not sure if that project was ever approved and completed. I know in Juneau we run off hydro electric from Snettisham and if the lines go out our back up is generator power.

Sorry…. Not sure if we are done or not. Trying to decide if we would add value or not…

I really like the N57 too!!! The N50 is close!

Thank you!

Yes, they are fiberglass. Very thick fiberglass. Eric is always careful because he doesn’t want to scratch the gel coat.

We were very lucky for the beautiful days. Plus the beautiful scenery!

We try!

Thank you so much! We are trying to figure out things on our new adventure.

We have fun…. Sometimes the videos get the more stressful aspects of our lives. I actually really enjoyed the trip south. Well, maybe not the day with the 45 knot winds, logs coming at us, and the branch in the fin…. but, I sure enjoyed the end of the day cocktail!

It is part of the adventure…. We sure don’t get bored….

We did the winter inside passage trip November/December of 2022.

Thank you so much !

They are tough…. I feel safe in our boat.

We have been trying to document the transition. I hope I can start getting that footage out soon. Thank you so much for following!

Thank you! We are going to give the east coast a try for a while. Totally different!

We lastest about 3 months before purchasing another boat.... we purchased a Nordhavn 50. We are going to try to continue videos with the new boat.

Thank you so much! We love that you are watching!

Eric doesn’t like to take a chance with the gel coat getting scratched. He is a bit of a perfectionist.

@havaseas I understand. Selling the boat I don't blame him. I can't wait to see the tours of your 50

😁

Yes. We have a course set and the autopilot will bring us back on course. But, if the current is faster than our boat then we are in trouble. Does that make sense?

Thank you! Hopefully you will enjoy the new boat and adventures too!

Spoiler…. We have purchased a N50. We love it! We plan to continue posting the new experiences.

Thank you so much for watching! Merry Christmas!

We will continue our adventures…. with a N50! But first we plan to do a tour of N5520. You might like to see that!

I hope you enjoyed the cold being brought to you! Thank you for watching! I hope to see Australia some day!

one year ago

I was going to try and mess with you about the dateline in Washington…. but, it was last year. We were so busy that I am trying really hard to catch up on videos. You might like watching “Where are we now, and what are we doing.” I had to put that out because our Instagram is current. Thank you for watching!

We were never able to figure out the name but we often saw the N35 around Anacortes. The N35 would be an interesting boat do a solo cruiser!

Wow! That had to be an experience! Thank goodness you were paying attention and thinking ahead! We had a discussion at dinner before we left Wrangell with some other Alaskan Nordhavn owners…. I made an observation that if either Eric or I fell in the water while moving we wouldn’t survive. There wouldn’t be enough time to get the boat turned around before the cold water took the person. The answer was…. don’t go anywhere on the boat where you could fall in. I never left the Portuguese bridge if I went outside while we were running. There was no going up on the bow or boat deck. I don’t even remember going out in the cockpit. I am so glad you were able to save the person!

Thank you so much for watching! I would love to get to New Zealand some day!

Thank you so much! It is great to hear that you get a little escape!

Thank you! That is so sweet! We are getting better at this boating as we get more experience.

The date on the nav chart shows 2022 so I think it’s safe to say we’re watching last years trip which has been recently edited. Still great to follow the adventure and see the journey south.

@Kippax237. That was some good vision!

@thomascarey8721 Hi! You probably have your answer. The video is from our trip south last year. I am trying to catch up on videos. I think we will have a N55 boat tour then move on to the adventures of the N50.
