You guys keep it real.. The travel content isn't as important as you'd think.. It's all about boat life, everyday stuff is really as good as anything.. I watch sailing channels that have 100's of thousands of subscribers and I enjoy your channel better.. Though I'm not into sailing, more about life on a motor boat.. Just keep making it real.. Thanks for the videos and I hope you keep them coming even if it's just another day in the life of living on a boat.. I look forward to more everyday life stuff.. It's all about the boat life to me..
Spot on. Just been to the Pacific NW and if I never see another fir tree it might be a bit too soon. The reels about the actual ship is often time more interesting so please don't feel that it all has to be about cruising.
Agreed, spot on. I’m not even familiar with any of these areas considering I’m from the north east of the states but I’m here just for the boat content even if it’s repeated visits to locations there’s always going to be something enjoyable to just watch about boating, could even do things like “how to” videos such as docking, or better ways to navigate. Just life experiences.
This is sad. Really enjoy your channel and look forward to each new episode. People watch to be a part of your adventure. I wasn’t getting bored! Please reconsider.
Well... hope to hear from you and get to see videos again soon... no matter if it is repeated locations or “boring” to you ... totally understand that you two do have a life to live outside of this channel ... take care and be happy !!!
I appreciate all the time and effort you put into your videos. It's evident that you always strive for quality whether it's a DIY boat project or creating videos. I will always be on the look out for your next video, even if it's less frequent.
Keep at it…. Even it just 1-2 a month. This channel does a nice job with story telling….so thank you. Hope all is ok on the personal front. Ran sailing also had to make changes due to family…..so life happens.
You’re being smart. However, I don’t tire of watching you cruise the Pacific Northwest. It doesn’t matter if you repeat locations, every trip is different. How many cruise the islands over and over but no one complains.
Everyday ‘boat chores’ and maintenance are still interesting to those of us who are always in “learning mode.” That content is just as interesting (and much more helpful) than travel and destination vids. I personally watch your channel for boat-related content - so keep that coming if you can!
I'm sad. I will say for my part that your content doesn't have to always be new locations. I completely understand the effort that goes into making videos is a lot. Rest assured you are still inspiring people on the regular. I will continue to look forward to new videos when you can post them. Much love you guys!
I really like your videos, wherever you go, whatever the projects are. Wish you weren't doing less, but I understand you probably have many reasons. Hoping you are both ok and healthy.
Thank you for the update and your plan for the near future. Plans change as it sounds like yours did, looking forward to your next video when ever that may be.
It’s not so much about where you are? as the story you tell. I have been cruising the San Juan’s, Desolation Sound, Vancouver Island for 30 years, never get tired of it. You, Shawn and the pups are the story, where you are, is the back drop. More boat projects, gathering, catching, cooking, site seeing and friends you meet, more important than where you are! Rick Moore has been in San Andres for close to three years, never leaves, still interesting to watch. Keep it coming I will watch, (met you in Astoria’s west mooring basin last year during your trip to the Columbia River)
"Everything Done", is an amazing statement for a boat owner. I have not achieved that status yet😀. I look forward to seeing whatever you share in the future.
I just found your channel but you know you’re regular subscribers will be happy to watch you both clean dishes and chat if it meant they got their weekly fix
Actually glad to hear your sticking around the PNW another year! I can watch the same destinations over and over, so don’t hold back just because you already have a video on a specific location..
Hi Guys... maybe you might not realize...not sure I speak for everyone...we like hanging out with you. So go. Take us with you. You make creative videos and Sean-- is actually is like becoming one of those engineers that looks at the other guy's shoes )). That's a joke from Charlie, the head or former head of Micrsoft Security. Just be yourself and hang out with us. Youz are good people.
Head up the west coast of Vancouver Island - it is fantastic. Then west to the Scott Islands, then north to Calvert Island. These are places I’m sure few of your viewers have seen. Oh, and God’s Pocket.
The two of you put on such as exceptionally well produced UA-cam shell, and I called a show because it really is entertainment that I sit down with, and watch with my partner. We are both on the selling side of the spectrum, but truly enjoy everything you offer. Keep being amazing keep having adventures, and hopefully soon when you can cast lines off for the final time and head out on your lawn, cruising adventure.
We watch your channel regularly because as people we are interested in other people. We are interested in what others think and and the things they are doing. I am sure making videos that have good content is a lot of work but don’t confuse that with why people watch your channel. Boat work is work and I am sure it is not so interesting to many who watch you as it is for some of us. But we can identify with who you are the things you have chosen to do plus it’s the blend of you all out there and with Shawn cutting up the Christmas Dino that makes for good stuff. We will be watching…..
Sorry to hear your cruising plans are down the swanee and we won't be seeing so much of you both. Hey, it's what works for you guys that matters. You two are the best and you're worth waiting for. For me it isn't just the places you visit, it's your whole boating life experiences that are so interesting. I must confess I also have a fondness for Shawn's technical films too. Take care you two, oops sorry. You four lol.
With eight dams and navigation locks, you will need to do some research on waiting times, best days and month. I’ve done the first lock at Bonneville dam, and that area of the gorge is world class beautiful. I’ve driven and flown over the river all the way to Lewiston Idaho and think that while the Snake River is also beautiful, you can turn around at its mouth and not miss too much and shorten your trip by four dams.
Elizabeth & Shawn - I have been a subscriber to your channel but have never commented. Is there a compromise to be had here? Since outside/family/work issues are keeping you from venturing too far - could you do smaller week long trips south to Oregon and Northern California or north to Canada - that would keep you closer to home - but at the same time let you "test the waters" for a more ambitious adventure as well as generate compelling content for your subscribers? Elizabeth although you are certainly putting on a brave and positive face - the heartbreak and frustration in your eyes is evident. Want the best for you two!
Thank you for being honest and focusing in doing the right things. We will always be here. Do what you need to do and looking forward to your future travels/videos!
Please don't go!! I wouldn't mind seeing some of your favourite places again. It might be the same old, same old for you but you still live in a beautiful part of the world and seeing the changing seasons from half way around the world (I live in the UK) is still fascinating to somebody who dreams of your life style. Not to mention all the interesting boating stuff you do. ❤❤
It has been so nice as a new boat owner to watch you guys and see what our options are for sailing to different areas around the Puget Sound. Will miss you!
Sorry to hear things are not working out. Time, money, relationships, AND operating a private yacht cruising channel is a more than full load. Wishing you the best. ❤
I don't remember when I first subscribed to your channel. the last 2 1/2 yrs. has been a blur. Understandable with our current situation, I'm sure with the inflation and drop in the market, it has made it tough. I know it has for me, as I retired last year as a 40 year finish/marine carpenter. I have been to Todd Shipyard many times on cruise ship refits. Maybe you and Shaun can keep the channel running with tours of the Seattle area? I know that when I was there, we loved to go to Pikes Peak Market for all kinds of things while we worked drydock. Seattle and Peugeot Sound is so beautiful, you should do little day trips, when you can, about everything in the area. The first couple times I flew in to drydock, I was so impressed with SEATAC. although, that was a few years ago. Also, the fishing and commercial fishing in the area. Hope you keep your channel goig, I won't receive notification if your downloads drop. LOVE YOU GUYS!
You tell and engaging story. I don't think the location is why we tune in, not for me anyway. If you're getting tired we can understand that. But we aren't tired of seeing what your up to.
I totally agree 100 %. I just start following this channel and watching all the previous videos and love your intellect and humor and also your stride and getting the job done correctly 100%. Did you get your watermaker working? Was it the high pressure pump?
I don't remember what made me find your videos... my husband and I just moved back to NH from Olympia. I grew up out there on Bainbridge, but without a boat it is really hard to get a full appriciation of the Puget Sound and Hood Canal. Your videos were a delightful window into the area and a welcome treat in response to some homesickness. It is also one of the most... sane, unpolitical, most upbeat channels I have found to be a welcome distraction from the mayhem of the current world. Throw in the fact I would love to live in a trailer, and my husband would live on a boat any day of the week and your channel was one of the VERY few channels my husband and I could enjoy together. I for one would appreciate ANY content you two feel like creating. In the meanwhile, we have seven years to go enjoy a second or third time 😊 Best wishes to you both and your fur-babies.
Noooooo 😭. Seriously, though, you guys are our favorite channel and it really doesn't have to be new and exciting week after week. We just love seeing what you are up to and daily life. If you feel burnt out then obviously you need to do what's best for you, but we'll be crying just a little.... 😂
Have enjoyed your videos for a while now. Love the Nords....always interested in how you work on the boat and the upgrades. Like watching a movie, you always miss something the first time viewing....do not be afraid to revisit past places...we enjoy going with you no matter where....so when is the next weekend adventure? ...stay safe
Totally understand the opportunity to pause and focus on other priorities. You both have provided an immense amount of entertainment and insights to the area and living a life style I will only be able to dream of and live through UA-cam. Any updates along the way would be great! If ever end interest a bit inland, an old friend is the Executive Director for Visit Bellvue. He is a MN guy so probably can relate to a couple Wisconsinites.
Morning coffee and My Freedom Video. Yes its a good day!!! When you guys are ready and able to start the world cruise we will be here. Till then do what you need to do Life happens and we understand.
A few ideas… Canadian Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound, Princess Louisa, The Broughton’s, Inside Passage to Alaska. One can spend a lifetime here and not see it all.
We still love your videos. Even if it's boring to you there are those of us who are planning to do the same in the next few years. Your videos are like a family show like reality TV. Lol. Anyways y'all be safe and we still love your videos
I've been watching your videos since y'all got Freedom. Enjoyed all the videos...your videos are top-notch to watch. I'll be glad to watch your future video whenever you get ready to start.
Thank you for the update love watching your travels and boat life I enjoy watching your boat projects/maintenance as this is a great perspective of real boat living and upkeep , what about a trip up the inside passage headed to Alaska as short Cruz ? Good luck and keep up the good work
Thanks for being up front! I don't see a problem; it's far better to share quality content on an irregular basis, than boring stuff regularly. We'll all be eagerly waiting for new adventures as you upload it!! Have fun, stay safe and healthy!!
I totally understand. I was supposed to be on my 1/2 way around the world adventure myself already, but as everyone knows in boating, plans and a schedule are at best a rough outline. Looking forward to seeing your content whenever that comes and hope to get my own adventure started by the beginning of next year. Hope all is well. Paul
Still a LOT to see in PNW. Be sure to visit the Scandinavian Culture Center near the Ballard Locks. And, the Canadian San Juans and Campbell River are + Princess Louise Inlet are as beautiful as the US San Juans. Become salmon fishermen (....lady) + crabbers; and oyster pickers in the canal. Glad you're staying in Seattle.
I have loved watching your channel, all aspects. It was something to look forward too ! Sean's calm measured approach has helped me moderate my own approach ( frustrations) to my owm boat work. Take care.
Missing you two and the 4-legged friends. Such great September weather. I moved here in April 1960, when I was 6 weeks old. Surely, you're filming something...? Drop the hook and a fishing line for a catch, clean and cook video? Some day hiking vids?
I’ve followed you both for years…. I’ve owned stinkpots and sailboats. Largest motorboat was a Horizon 90’+ and the largest Sailboat was a World Class Cruising Vessel (Custom build) 80’+. Lived around the Pacific Northwest 95% of the time. Sailed to Hawaii from Vancouver back in the early 80’s. Sunk a very large sailboat by hitting a deadhead north of Friday Harbor. Hit it perfectly square and as we passed the differential buoyancy generated massive speed and the energy of that log blew through the side and popped a 3’ hole in her. Only took minutes to although we were always ready for the unexpected. Considering fuel prices here and abroad, considering what can happen in the open water…. [hate to say it] consider a large sailboat…. When traversing this planet…. They handle ruff seas much better and don’t act like a plumb-bob with multi-directional endless movements. I’ve loved both…. However after saying I would never go sailboat(?) I did for several reasons…. 3,000 gallon fill ups was the start of my transition motivation and the sailboat ended up being my absolute passion knowing the wind pushed me to anywhere I wanted to go.. for free….
Thanks for the update, but don't feel you have to slow down. I enjoy the seeing the Pacific Northwest thorough your trips don't feel that you have to stop showing this area. The one change that would be nice to see is a Bucky Badger flag flying on game days.
PUT DOWN A MAP ON THE FLOOR AND LET THE DOGS PICK THE CRUISE LOCATION. I FEEL THEY NEED TO BE INVOLVED A BIT MORE AND WHO KNOWS WHERE YOU'LL END UP. THANKS FOR THE UPDATE.
Lucky for me I just recently found your channel and subscribed so I have a lot of earlier videos to keep me happy in between your updates. Thanks for the fun videos where I get to see the west coast from the water.
Could you guys do an in depth video on your engines both wing and main as well as the generator systems what they can do and as well as a maintenance overview?
Love to see a boat tour now you have so many upgrades - will miss the regular videos. Good luck and hope you can leave sooner than you presently expect !
You REALLY ought to go to the Gulf Islands this fall. It is so easy to cruise in Canada 🇨🇦. The people are so nice, the BC marine parks are beautiful and very well maintained. Some favorites are Tod Inlet and must visit Butchart Gardens, Princess Cove, Pirates Cove, Nanaimo.... and of course going through Dodd Narrows is a fun experience. And Montague Harbor where of course you have to take the bus to the Hummingbird Pub for a fun ride you will absolutely never forget. Did I forget to mention Ganges!! So much to explore there. I hope you give that cruising area a look see before leaving the PNW.
It's been 3 weeks or so. Time for another vid. We're having awesome weather for early-mid October, right? Surely, you've dropped a fishing line for a catch, clean and cook? Taken some hikes along the shores of Puget Sound? Taken the four-legged deck mates on some walks? We're heading in to the wet/cooler weather season. Get the cameras out, and start vlogging, right? Of course! ⚘👍⚘
You are no 1, decisions are yours to take. Your honesty makes you guys good people, will miss your visit but eh your driving. Take care you two. Antoine ( from Quebec Canada)
I appreciate your candor. You guys do what you need to do. I do enjoy your videos; including the technical stuff and really enjoy Shawn's descriptions and other explanations. Both of you are excellent narrators and you put together really well-done videos... quite talented and skilled you are. Suggestions for longer trips would include Alaskan waters. Some longer than weekend trips could take you up the Columbia and the Snake Rivers..lots of interesting places and scenery up those. Those would take you and MV Freedom to central and Eastern Washington and perhaps near, or into Idaho. And depending on your draft, in the Portland area, you could navigate up the Willamette for a distance and catch some sights and interesting places. Looking forward to anything you post. One thing you mentioned in a video some time back is that you don't really do any fishing. Having some equipment and skills could add more content to your videos and add to your culinary experiences as you cross oceans and visit new places.

Agreed, spot on. I’m not even familiar with any of these areas considering I’m from the north east of the states but I’m here just for the boat content even if it’s repeated visits to locations there’s always going to be something enjoyable to just watch about boating, could even do things like “how to” videos such as docking, or better ways to navigate. Just life experiences.
Do what you gotta do. Thanks for the update. Take care.
We could watch you boil water, and it would be fun! Anyone else? 👍
I just enjoy watching the boat life along. Your content is a calm break in the day to day.
I for one just love the videos you put out and appreciate the time and effort it takes to record AND edit.
This is sad. Really enjoy your channel and look forward to each new episode. People watch to be a part of your adventure. I wasn’t getting bored! Please reconsider.
Well... hope to hear from you and get to see videos again soon... no matter if it is repeated locations or “boring” to you ... totally understand that you two do have a life to live outside of this channel ... take care and be happy !!!
I appreciate all the time and effort you put into your videos. It's evident that you always strive for quality whether it's a DIY boat project or creating videos. I will always be on the look out for your next video, even if it's less frequent.
Keep at it…. Even it just 1-2 a month. This channel does a nice job with story telling….so thank you. Hope all is ok on the personal front. Ran sailing also had to make changes due to family…..so life happens.
Dont go away! We love you guys!!
You’re being smart. However, I don’t tire of watching you cruise the Pacific Northwest. It doesn’t matter if you repeat locations, every trip is different. How many cruise the islands over and over but no one complains.
My week…MY YEAR…RUINED! Love the channel.
Good luck and please…something …anything…is better than nothing!
You two are the most real out there.
Go to Alaska...lots to explore up there. Whatever, love to see you guys no matter ware you broadcast from...
I knew it was coming. All good things come to an end. I will miss the videos, really loved watching them. Stay safe and thank you.
Everyday ‘boat chores’ and maintenance are still interesting to those of us who are always in “learning mode.” That content is just as interesting (and much more helpful) than travel and destination vids. I personally watch your channel for boat-related content - so keep that coming if you can!
You don’t need to give us new places. You’re favorites become our favorites. It is the two of you that I find so interesting!
I'm sad. I will say for my part that your content doesn't have to always be new locations. I completely understand the effort that goes into making videos is a lot. Rest assured you are still inspiring people on the regular. I will continue to look forward to new videos when you can post them. Much love you guys!
I really like your videos, wherever you go, whatever the projects are. Wish you weren't doing less, but I understand you probably have many reasons. Hoping you are both ok and healthy.
Oh no!!! There will be a hole in my life, I have loved following you guys, you have been an inspiration to me.
Thank you for the update and your plan for the near future. Plans change as it sounds like yours did, looking forward to your next video when ever that may be.
You guys do what’s best for you. I’ll still be here as will most folks! Enjoy the journey🤙
It’s not so much about where you are? as the story you tell. I have been cruising the San Juan’s, Desolation Sound, Vancouver Island for 30 years, never get tired of it.

Keep it coming I will watch, (met you in Astoria’s west mooring basin last year during your trip to the Columbia River)
Pacific Northwest cruising without a trip to Princess Louisa Inlet and Desolation Sound is a huge missed opportunity. Both are special and iconic. Go!
As a watcher, I am glad for another year of the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
"Everything Done", is an amazing statement for a boat owner. I have not achieved that status yet😀. I look forward to seeing whatever you share in the future.
I just found your channel but you know you’re regular subscribers will be happy to watch you both clean dishes and chat if it meant they got their weekly fix
Actually glad to hear your sticking around the PNW another year!
I can watch the same destinations over and over, so don’t hold back just because you already have a video on a specific location..
I had seen all your videos from the beginning . And had loved everyone of them. Thank you guys for sharing all you do .
You need to continue with the weekly videos so we can all see the doggies!!!!
Hi Guys... maybe you might not realize...not sure I speak for everyone...we like hanging out with you. So go. Take us with you.

Updated boat tour would be nice! thx for the update
Still a lot to see in the Gulf Islands (Montague Harbour, Telegraph Cove) and beyond! Good luck and safe travels.
Thx for the ride so far loved every minute of it. And learned a lot.
The two of you put on such as exceptionally well produced UA-cam shell, and I called a show because it really is entertainment that I sit down with, and watch with my partner. We are both on the selling side of the spectrum, but truly enjoy everything you offer. Keep being amazing keep having adventures, and hopefully soon when you can cast lines off for the final time and head out on your lawn, cruising adventure.
Your boat life uplifts my pathetic life and your updates help. Bless you!

We will be watching…..
In any event, stay well, happy and safe!
I'm not sure seeing repeat destinations is a bad thing. Beauty and fun is what this society needs.
Updated boat tour video!
Respect for you guys.
And remember that it is OK to do what is good for you.
Sorry to hear your cruising plans are down the swanee and we won't be seeing so much of you both. Hey, it's what works for you guys that matters. You two are the best and you're worth waiting for.
For me it isn't just the places you visit, it's your whole boating life experiences that are so interesting. I must confess I also have a fondness for Shawn's technical films too.
Take care you two, oops sorry. You four lol.
I think a cruise up the Columbia River and the Snake River into Idaho would be cool. I think you could probably do the round trip in 10 days or so.
How will they get the boat over the Dams??
🤣 👏 👍 👏 🤣
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 there are locks on all of the dams.
With eight dams and navigation locks, you will need to do some research on waiting times, best days and month. I’ve done the first lock at Bonneville dam, and that area of the gorge is world class beautiful. I’ve driven and flown over the river all the way to Lewiston Idaho and think that while the Snake River is also beautiful, you can turn around at its mouth and not miss too much and shorten your trip by four dams.
Elizabeth & Shawn - I have been a subscriber to your channel but have never commented. Is there a compromise to be had here? Since outside/family/work issues are keeping you from venturing too far - could you do smaller week long trips south to Oregon and Northern California or north to Canada - that would keep you closer to home - but at the same time let you "test the waters" for a more ambitious adventure as well as generate compelling content for your subscribers? Elizabeth although you are certainly putting on a brave and positive face - the heartbreak and frustration in your eyes is evident. Want the best for you two!
Thank you for being honest and focusing in doing the right things. We will always be here. Do what you need to do and looking forward to your future travels/videos!
Please don't go!! I wouldn't mind seeing some of your favourite places again. It might be the same old, same old for you but you still live in a beautiful part of the world and seeing the changing seasons from half way around the world (I live in the UK) is still fascinating to somebody who dreams of your life style.

Don't forget you also go your Captain's License.
It has been so nice as a new boat owner to watch you guys and see what our options are for sailing to different areas around the Puget Sound. Will miss you!
Thanks for the memories. You don't owe anyone an explanation. Have a good life. Semper Fi!
Sorry to hear things are not working out. Time, money, relationships, AND operating a private yacht cruising channel is a more than full load. Wishing you the best. ❤
I enjoy your videos greatly, I look forward to your videos and even if it is repeats or just Seattle stuff, it would be enjoyable to watch.
You do a great job of day in the life style videos, boat related. Keep it up, please.
Nice to see a couple doing what's right for them - enjoy
No we don’t care, keep the videos coming please; I look forward to these so much

I would love to see what you have done to the interior of the boat. :-)
You tell and engaging story. I don't think the location is why we tune in, not for me anyway.

I am bereft. Yours is one of my favorite yachtie channels. I don’t demand constant newness (word?); I just enjoy your company.
Noooooo 😭. Seriously, though, you guys are our favorite channel and it really doesn't have to be new and exciting week after week. We just love seeing what you are up to and daily life. If you feel burnt out then obviously you need to do what's best for you, but we'll be crying just a little.... 😂

Would love to see more Gulf Islands, Sunshine Coast, Vancouver, Desolation Sound, Broughtons etc... Thanks from Doe Bay OI
Morning coffee and My Freedom Video. Yes its a good day!!! When you guys are ready and able to start the world cruise we will be here. Till then do what you need to do Life happens and we understand.
A few ideas… Canadian Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound, Princess Louisa, The Broughton’s, Inside Passage to Alaska. One can spend a lifetime here and not see it all.
I don,t care where you four go, it all looks great to me, just keep it coming,😁
What ever you do I am sure I will be watching and can wait as your wonderful people and the two dogs make it interesting.
We're still here for you and your furry friends.
Much love, hugs and prayers to you and yours from somewhere near Seattle.

We still love your videos. Even if it's boring to you there are those of us who are planning to do the same in the next few years. Your videos are like a family show like reality TV. Lol. Anyways y'all be safe and we still love your videos
Cruise Alaska next summer. It would be a good primer for your world cruise
Good luck guys, and thank you for the videos so far. I enjoyed them.
Good for you keeping stuff private it's none of or business your private life just happy you educate us land lovers about boat like
Wondered where you were! Always enjoy your channel, no matter what’s up! You guys alway make even the mundane interesting! ❤️
I've been watching your videos since y'all got Freedom. Enjoyed all the videos...your videos are top-notch to watch. I'll be glad to watch your future video whenever you get ready to start.
Thank you for the update love watching your travels and boat life I enjoy watching your boat projects/maintenance as this is a great perspective of real boat living and upkeep , what about a trip up the inside passage headed to Alaska as short Cruz ? Good luck and keep up the good work
Thanks for being up front! I don't see a problem; it's far better to share quality content on an irregular basis, than boring stuff regularly. We'll all be eagerly waiting for new adventures as you upload it!! Have fun, stay safe and healthy!!
I would like to see you explore the south sound to Olympia. I'm sure there are interesting places and parks there to discover.
I totally understand. I was supposed to be on my 1/2 way around the world adventure myself already, but as everyone knows in boating, plans and a schedule are at best a rough outline. Looking forward to seeing your content whenever that comes and hope to get my own adventure started by the beginning of next year. Hope all is well. Paul
Still a LOT to see in PNW. Be sure to visit the Scandinavian Culture Center near the Ballard Locks. And, the Canadian San Juans and Campbell River are + Princess Louise Inlet are as beautiful as the US San Juans. Become salmon fishermen (....lady) + crabbers; and oyster pickers in the canal. Glad you're staying in Seattle.
I have loved watching your channel, all aspects. It was something to look forward too !
Sean's calm measured approach has helped me moderate my own approach ( frustrations) to my owm boat work. Take care.
Missing you two and the 4-legged friends. Such great September weather.
I moved here in April 1960, when I was 6 weeks old.
Surely, you're filming something...?
Drop the hook and a fishing line for a catch, clean and cook video?
Some day hiking vids?
Ooh no. I have been binge watching you guys for the last month. Was looking forward to the journey.
I enjoy you guys no matter where you upload a video.
I’ve followed you both for years…. I’ve owned stinkpots and sailboats. Largest motorboat was a Horizon 90’+ and the largest Sailboat was a World Class Cruising Vessel (Custom build) 80’+. Lived around the Pacific Northwest 95% of the time. Sailed to Hawaii from Vancouver back in the early 80’s. Sunk a very large sailboat by hitting a deadhead north of Friday Harbor. Hit it perfectly square and as we passed the differential buoyancy generated massive speed and the energy of that log blew through the side and popped a 3’ hole in her. Only took minutes to although we were always ready for the unexpected. Considering fuel prices here and abroad, considering what can happen in the open water…. [hate to say it] consider a large sailboat…. When traversing this planet…. They handle ruff seas much better and don’t act like a plumb-bob with multi-directional endless movements. I’ve loved both…. However after saying I would never go sailboat(?) I did for several reasons…. 3,000 gallon fill ups was the start of my transition motivation and the sailboat ended up being my absolute passion knowing the wind pushed me to anywhere I wanted to go.. for free….
Thanks for the update, but don't feel you have to slow down. I enjoy the seeing the Pacific Northwest thorough your trips don't feel that you have to stop showing this area. The one change that would be nice to see is a Bucky Badger flag flying on game days.
Yes, would love to see new boat tour video! New pilothouse upholstery looks terrific.
You have the entire Columbia and Snake River waterway to explore! Astoria, OR to Lewiston, ID! Go!Go!Go!
PUT DOWN A MAP ON THE FLOOR AND LET THE DOGS PICK THE CRUISE LOCATION. I FEEL THEY NEED TO BE INVOLVED A BIT MORE AND WHO KNOWS WHERE YOU'LL END UP. THANKS FOR THE UPDATE.
Good luck with your plans and future travels - we’ve enjoyed the story so far, and look forward to the next chapter.
Lucky for me I just recently found your channel and subscribed so I have a lot of earlier videos to keep me happy in between your updates. Thanks for the fun videos where I get to see the west coast from the water.
Could you guys do an in depth video on your engines both wing and main as well as the generator systems what they can do and as well as a maintenance overview?
Whatever you upload,I will watch. Always enjoy your content. Keep well!
Love to see a boat tour now you have so many upgrades - will miss the regular videos. Good luck and hope you can leave sooner than you presently expect !
Thank you for the update a updated boat tour would be nice it's up to you
Do a vid where you are anchored out in a storm overnight... November is coming up... that would be new exciting content!
You are wise,,,,, take the time ,,, make sure the situation is right before you take off on the adventure !!!
You REALLY ought to go to the Gulf Islands this fall. It is so easy to cruise in Canada 🇨🇦. The people are so nice, the BC marine parks are beautiful and very well maintained. Some favorites are Tod Inlet and must visit Butchart Gardens, Princess Cove, Pirates Cove, Nanaimo.... and of course going through Dodd Narrows is a fun experience. And Montague Harbor where of course you have to take the bus to the Hummingbird Pub for a fun ride you will absolutely never forget. Did I forget to mention Ganges!! So much to explore there. I hope you give that cruising area a look see before leaving the PNW.
It's been 3 weeks or so. Time for another vid.
We're having awesome weather for early-mid October, right?
Surely, you've dropped a fishing line for a catch, clean and cook?
Taken some hikes along the shores of Puget Sound?
Taken the four-legged deck mates on some walks?
We're heading in to the wet/cooler weather season.
Get the cameras out, and start vlogging, right?
Of course! ⚘👍⚘
You are no 1, decisions are yours to take. Your honesty makes you guys good people, will miss your visit but eh your driving. Take care you two.

I appreciate your candor. You guys do what you need to do.
I do enjoy your videos; including the technical stuff and really enjoy Shawn's descriptions and other explanations. Both of you are excellent narrators and you put together really well-done videos... quite talented and skilled you are.
Suggestions for longer trips would include Alaskan waters. Some longer than weekend trips could take you up the Columbia and the Snake Rivers..lots of interesting places and scenery up those. Those would take you and MV Freedom to central and Eastern Washington and perhaps near, or into Idaho. And depending on your draft, in the Portland area, you could navigate up the Willamette for a distance and catch some sights and interesting places. Looking forward to anything you post.
One thing you mentioned in a video some time back is that you don't really do any fishing. Having some equipment and skills could add more content to your videos and add to your culinary experiences as you cross oceans and visit new places.
