Thank you so much we are so excited to share this journey with you all x

Hopefully as soon as we can but as the market crashed and the houses didn’t sell we need to save up some more money. Not long now until you guys set sail? X

Thank you so much x

I think what was so hard, was the whole will I need this or that then if I might where will it go on the boat. I had to remember that a 3 bedroomed house was never going to fit into a boat. Looking forward to seeing you soon 😃 x

Haha I felt like a bus spotted going to film him on the bus. Thank you so much xx

Thank you so much your support really means a lot to us x

Yes there is VHF there and the reception is great works just fine.

Thank you so much xx

Thank you xx

Thank you. She really has been well looked after over her time. We got a steal of a boat x

You can definitely see the difference. There will be plenty more work to do over the next few months x

Thank you x

Thank you. I know it was definitely a heart stopping moment. X

They definitely was x

He’s great, he’s our friends from sv Cordelia. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to going under the bridge lol x

Thank you. Definitely sounds like a plan. We can’t wait to have you on board again we really enjoyed the day and are so grateful for all your help xx

Thank you for watching. The help was very much appreciated. The next episode will be updates on what’s been happening with us and solice. X

You’re very welcome, it was a great day and we can’t wait to have you both back on board again. Thank you again for all you help xx

Thank you. Yes I’m so glad we have one I don’t think my shoulder would take pulling it up lol x

Yes we only 50mtrs of chain, it’s on our list to buy a new one. I know they both love going on the paddle board. We love the toilets they have underfloor heating to 😀 x

They love to help. Xx

That’s a good idea. Especially as they won’t be used for a while now x

We are definitely going to be using these tablets, we aren’t living onboard yet so we are the same using bottled water to drink at the min and we normally take pre cooked food with us like curry and stews etc when we go, x

We was shocked at how clean they were but no surprised with how well she has been looked after. The old owner told Chris he had only cleaned them once in 28 years. He must treated regularly x

We're watching yours right now. X

@@sailingsolice thanks 😁🌞

To be fair we have only been on the boat a few times since buying her with us living so far away so we just used bottled water for drinking and the water from the tanks for pots. We emptied out the water in October to stop the water freezing in the winter but obviously there was a little left that we drained in feb and cleaned. We will definitely look into the aqua tabs thank you so much cx

I know I thought that when I watched yours. I’m not sure maybe. Xx

Maybe paint the whole boat green, then it will blend in 😂. Less work

@@SailingPauHana now that’s a thought 🤣🤣 x

@@SailingPauHana hahaha, great idea! Lol

Hiya thank you. We look forward to sharing our journey with you 😀 xx

Thank you for watching 😀

He would never survive without it 🤣 neither would the kids x

Thank you so much x

To be fair it wasn’t to bad to at all. Chris has to have the tv on I’m quite happy to listen to music but yes I do enjoy watching tv especially at night. Can’t wait to meet up soon xx

Thank you so much x

It would have been tough on the boat, it’s was hard enough where we did it. Will try not to forget lol my memory is shocking. X

@@sailingsolice Good practice doing it on the boat, you never know when you may have to do it xx

@@SailingSVCordelia definitely. We still have a lot to learn but we will get there. We also really appreciate all the help you guys give us x

We was couldn’t believe how big they are. I mean we know they are big but you don’t realise how big they actually are until you take them down and there so heavy also. Thanks guys xx

Did you really? The girls love it going to see all the boats their boat mad lol. Orla gets so excited when she sees a photo of the boat 🤣. We got it cheaper than the actual shop as it was at the boatshow I can’t remember exactly but seem to think it was £200 and something might have been about £250 I have just looked on total cools website and there £309 for the one same as ours. It’s on the boat so your welcome to have a look at it guys xx

We are really going to miss going this year but hopefully we will be setting sail and leaving the UK in August. Obviously boating plans change but this is our plan for now x

Wow we are sailing to France in may. Wish we was adventurous as you. Bet the little children can’t wait.

@@BettySwallock-ys7fb they are so excited. Are you going to France for a holiday? That will be so nice still x

Yes just a holiday. We have 4 children 2 are quite young and the older 2 are getting ready for exams. So maybe when then are all older we will live the same dreams as you.

@@BettySwallock-ys7fb definitely sounds like a plan. Where is your boat now? X

It’s such a shame that you didn’t get to go xx

Me to. It was such an amazing experience x

Thank you guys. Happy new year to you both xx

The ‘lady’ sailing the boat wanted a quick go at the helm as it was her first time sailing her own boat, she was supervised at all time as she doesn't have a skipper licence yet. And yes I was the one taking the two children who were tethered to the boat with jacklines and with life jackets on to the bow of the boat, who are also very confident on the water and moving around the boat. If it had been rough they wouldn't of been coming out of the cockpit. We are not the kind of parents that will lock the children in the cockpit seats or even make them stay in the saloon when sailing they are on the boat to experience sailing and enjoy themselves but we also are not parents that would put our children at risk.

Hi Jeremy, We totally understand where you are coming from regards the lifejackets. As a rule we do make the little two wear the lifejackets at all time unless they are asleep, they are not allowed anywhere up the front without a jacket on and certainly not without an adult. They are not allowed out of the cockpit in rough weather or when the sea state makes it unsafe for them to be walking around outside the cockpit. As for adults its a very personal preference with wearing them. We tend to say that again if the sea is rough then we are to wear them. When we are on passage then would will certainly be wearing them and 110% on night passages it goes without saying that we will be wearing them, again with the walking around the boat if we feel its unsafe to walk around then jackets will be worn. We aren't in this for taking risks but we tend to take calculated risks if we don't feel safe we don't do it. We understand that things at sea can change in a split second and understand your feelings around Lifejackets.

My husband drowned through not wearing a lifejacket when he was coming up the river to his mooring on a solo sail. Perfect weather, no swell. Slipped wbhen trying to hook his buoy. WEAR ONE! Even if I had been there it would not have made any difference. And do not drink when in charge......so wrong in every aspect

Totally understand where your coming from with life jackets. As for drinking while in charge she wasn't in charge I was standing next to her out of frame.

We loved it. He was so happy that we went out. I want to go again lol x

Thank you for joining us. Can’t wait to do it again xx

We didn’t think it was bad until we had got home and looked at what we thought we had with the boat that we didn’t get. It’s still up for sale now. I’m so glad we changed our minds thou xx

You made the right decision! 👍😊 xx

@@gooddeedssailing thank you x

Thank you. X

Thank you for being a part of it xxx
