    That was great, sharing all your traveling and seeing what a small Nordhavn can do. Keep up the videos. Thanks again. Great story on James linked in a post below to a Wired article, worth the read. Very interesting guy.

    Yes I saw you in the basin in Inverness and watched your progress down the canal. Looking forward to future vlogs. I shall keep an eye on you from time to time as I will be following the Volvo oceanic race.

    I've followed the Hamiltons for a while now. Being as how this is a Nordhavn promotional video, they should have told the story about crossing the bar down under where the Dirona got caught with a sneaker wave that laid her over enough that she took water in the air intake on the back of the house..........................And she recovered smartly! That's as good of an example of a quality built boat as anyone need to hear to understand what great boats Nordhavn produces.
    I must say that James & Jennifer are pretty sharp cookies, too.(;>)

    These two seem like the sweetest couple.
    I also get a kick out of his fix-it videos.
    I love the way he explains things.
    Reminds me of a fun high-school teacher who enjoys teaching.

    You guys are my new heroes! I am retired airline and hope one day to complete a crossing of Atlantic, preferably in a Nordhavn. I can't wait for more updates! Are you going to do any river runs in Europe? I ask because I did live in Germany for 13 years much younger and mainland Europe has some amazing rivers and scenery!?

    Great story, but being the south pacific you should have definitely sailed around the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea. They're on the Eastern edge of the Coral Triangle and you would have experience unbelievable diving, as well as some stunning tropical scenery.

    Not sure if anybody monitors this channel. Would the new 2020 Nordhavn 41 be capable of doing a trip like the Hamiltons are doing?
