Nice video, as always. Looks like you are getting mixed reviews on the tattoo, which is too bad. I like it. When I finished my first pacific crossing last year I commemorated it with a traditional Marquesan armband. I think it is a cool tradition but not for everyone, obviously. Keep enjoying your adventures and thanks for bringing us along. Cheers
Yes tattoos and other topics will bring conflicting opinions but we are sharing our story and this was part of it. Thanks for your support. I'm glad you were able to get a tattoo to commemorate the achievement too. 😄
Thanks for taking us with you, the waterfall visit was amazing. I can't get over how beautiful that island is. There is something to be said for being somewhat isolated.
This might be my favorite place you guys have visited!!! Totally worth the three weeks at sea!!! Such a beautiful island!!! Can’t wait to see where else you explore!!! 😎🐚⛵️💙🌊🏄🏼🤙
I always enjoy spending time with your family through your videos. The sailors during the Age of Sail suffered with weevil and maggot infested food. I’m thinking the rice could’ve been salvaged since rice is cooked by boiling.
Hey guys, awesome video as always. Keep them coming. Here in South Africa we call those "Wheat Beetles" and their microscopisch eggs is found in 99% of all bought grains & flours, and they hatch when temp and moisture is optimum for them, and once they are hatched its difficult to get rid of them again, so to solve the problem, what we do is to either freeze the packets of grains or flour for at least 12-18hrs, or re-dag and vacuum seal the bags. Hope you didn`t loose all your dry goods. fare winds and safe sailing from sunny South Africa.
@@sailingwithsix Hi guys, thanks for the reply, understandable that freezing space is limited on the boat, it becomes a big problem when you buy in bulk, what I do is to try and ration my dry goods purchases over a couple of days, and freeze them accordingly, once frozen for the 12 - 18hrs, you can take them out of the freezer, and stow them away with no worries. Sealed containers or vacuum sealing after the freezing process just adds another layer of protection, and you should be able to keep dry goods for years. hopes this info helps a bit. fare winds & hold fast Alex
To preserve rice, flour or any other grain (beans, lentils, etc.), we use 5-liter water containers that are clean and dry and add dried bay leaves. laurel tree, the leaves of which are used for seasoning. Our experience is more than two years without problem and they are supposed to last more than five years
Hi Kris and Shona and crew! I love your channel and always look forward to catching up with your adventures. I just wanted to recommend a story that may or may not interest and entertain you. It's titled 'Trustee from the Tool Room' by British/Australian author Nevil Shute. My grade 7 teacher chose it as a term reading assignment but, typically, I read it all the way through within the first week. Your bugs-in-the-rice incident reminded me of it, though, in this instance, it was weevils in the flour which, if memory serves, didn't go to waste!
Hello beautiful family! I have binge watched all your episodes in the last couple weeks and I LOVE every one! I am an RN, and when I get home from work I have to tell my husband, "I have to go watch an episode of my favorite family!" :) I lived on a sailboat for 6 years from 24-30 years old. ( I am currently 55). lots of sailing down the coast of California, under golden gate bridge, and one ocean crossing from SFO to Hawaii, back in 1993. it took 19 days, 4 hours and 45 min. :) lol this is where we lived for a few years, and my daughter was born there and was a boat baby for her first year. I can't believe how far electronics have come! lol. we had one GPS that looked like a handheld video game compared to what is available now! I love that you are doing these marvelous adventures with your sweet kiddos and they are a part of everything! Kris, your laugh cracks me up! I love when you say yeeeeouuuuu! Mum, I am just amazed at how wonderful you are with the schooling and "Mum cleaning" the galley. nobody does it better than mom! haha. I watch your episodes on TV, so hard to comment. Bella and Finn, you never cease to amaze me with your talents as cruisers, you are both amazing! are you Ted or finn? your baking skills are over the top lovely! seeing you both bake is a joy! Finn, I loved your new apron! and your burger buns looked Deelish! Archie! oh archie, I LOVE how you are always swinging and climbing on everything! and I love your hair!! you have so much energy! And sweet Pipi! I was so sad when you broke your arm and leg! so glad your doing better! your voice is angelic! all of your kiddos are truly amazing and you all make me smile every day! I'm bummed that I am all caught up on the journey thus far, but can't wait to see what is in store! (sorry for the long message) We live in the Southeast corner of Washington state in a small town called Walla Walla. where sweet onions come from! you can't sail here, but I hope to continue watching your family and all your travels! Be safe! sending much love and prayers to you all!! Hip Hip Hooray!! -- Stefani
Oh wow, thank you for taking the time to leave us such a beautiful comment. Thats so special. I'm glad you've been able to wind down after a tough shift at work by watching us. Now you're all caught up you'll just have to revisit your favourites until the next video is uploaded. Thank again 😄
Our first Polynesian stop, a glorious big island! The crew down for some scrubbin' and Happy Days is pretty again. Already a bounty of fruit. An overdue exertion upon the hill wins a peak... lots of peaks here but one will do! Down underwater we visit the realm of mantas- sensational, yes! Grabbing a car, we come upon one breathtaking scene after the other. No worries about auto theft on Nuka Hiva. Anchorage hopping now: each one a stunning panorama. To the waterfall, it's a hike into paradise! Some bad news tho back on the boat. Awful bugs! They get to be fish food. I've seen bugs in rice before (and still ate it), but not like this. I suppose it's a lesson learned. Thanks again for sharing.
Great video guys. What a beautiful island. As for your long term dry goods storage like oats, rice, and flour you likely brought them with you at point of purchase in the form of eggs. If you freeze your dry goods for 24 hours before storing them elsewhere you will kill most, hopefully all the eggs in the future. Safe travels Happy Days ❤
That destination is beautiful. I hope you enjoy your time there! I am so sorry your grains got infested with bugs. Hopefully you can sift the flour and store it in a water proof container!
The bugs (weevils) are miniscule in flour/pasta/rice. You can sieve the weevils out and actually still use it. Best to store in airtight containers for no cross-contamination.
A great intro to an archipelago to which we've never been. Many thanks. My then 10-yr old son was SO angry with us when he realised we were sailing on a far too northerly course to visit the Marquesas. He loved (and still does) the novels of Herman Melville, his first written on what we then called Madison Island (Nuku Hiva). I think Archie would enjoy Typee too. Fair winds guys. ❤
@@sailingwithsix Unfortunately not. Daryl fell in love at uni (UBC) and has since been a landlubber. My youngest wants to repeat the two circumnavigations of his dad and his great-gramps after finishing at Cambridge. Perhaps one or more of Daryl's six sons will join him and finally do what their dad didn't. ⛵
Great video guys and great to see how you get on in this area as we will also be visiting soon with kids. We hearing mixed reports but it’s all got to be seen and stunning scenery and 10/10 for adventure. I’ll also go get a tattoo 😜
Woohoo! What are the mixed reports you're hearing? I hope you have a great experience and enjoy it as much as we did. Would love to see your tattoo when you get one 😀
its weevils....in your rice and crackers and flour....get them into tupperware and add about a bay leaf per kilo or package. It stops the eggs from hatching. The eggs you bought with whatever grain product. To repeat, you can't seal them out as they are in the package....but the bay leaves help. The grapefruit there is incredible.
@@sailingwithsix Its the realization that no matter what, you are eating the eggs as they are in the product itself. You do have to repackage everything. I did a huge study on Tupperware containers...just about all of those 4 sided sealers are cheap and great. Bay leaves. I haven't seen crawlies in about 15 years.
I could watch this for hours! It must be such an amazing feeling to experience and soaking it all in with your own eyes and all other senses, instead of just seeing it on youtube. I am so happy for you guys! 😀💕🥰
Oh wow. You had the weevils! I had an infestation of them from some bird seed. Thankfully, they are harmless and were easy to get rid of. Also, I had to LOL when Kris went to get the tattoo. I saw it in your updates on Patreon but never noticed he didn't have it in the previous videos. 😂
My family lived in the caribean in the 70s. All the rice had bugs and we were told to just pick them out before it was cooked. No thanks turns out minute rice was ok, so that is what we used. Good luck
Ya I just found this channel and was enthused BECAUSE it seemed clean and family. I suppose it still is but.... My enthusiasm is dampened. God made the human body amazing and wonderful. No amount of "marking" will be an improvement. The ONLY mark I ever want to have is the mark of my KING in my forehead someday in Heaven. Revelations 7:3
Yah, I'm not a tattoo person myself, although I have no problem with other adults getting them. If there is a particular meaning behind the ink, it makes a little more sense.
Thank you. You needed to FREEZE your rice and flour for a few days. That might have preventing the bugs. Bay leaves sprinkled among the packages can also reduce infestations. Now SIFT everything! It's still good. It just looks unappetizing. Well, that package of brown rice was done.
Guys I can help you with your weavel problem. Bay leaf. So with all your dry goods like pasta, rice & flour. Place 1 - 2 into the bag & no more problems. It works for other live aboards so give it ago.
Thank you. We put bay leaves in our opened bags of flour but I've never had to open the new bags to put them in. Will try this moving forward though. Such a waste otherwise.
Super gross fish and wheebels in the food. I know you low on freezer space but if there’s not too many of the bugs in the rice, you can freeze the rice which kills the bugs and then you can rinse the rice before cooking it which surfaces all the bugs and you can empty the bugs out. You can do the same with the flour, but you have to sift it to get the bugs out, we used to do that back in Honduras.!!! desperate days though that bag was just nasty!!!🤢
13:07 My thoughts exactly!!! This rock has been there since whoever inspired Thor Heyerdaal, and now the 8' tall barbarian broke it! Takeaway - even sober Aussies are dangerous. 😀
I don't know, I kind of fast-forwarded past that bit. Where I come from, with freshwater fish, those kind of parasites are thought to come from runoff pollution, especially phosphates. One would hardly think that'd be the case with crystal clear ocean water, though.
Oh 🤮 that brown rice was so bad😮..... sorry lol.... I have seen people empty all rice and beans into a colander to make sure it's pest free and then use kitchen sealer bags to store it. Airtight 🤩
I don’t think you should have dumped those bugs overboard as you could be introducing them into the local environment, you should have either used chemicals or burnt them preferably offshore 😊
At the time we thought this the best option - the bugs would die/drown before reaching shore as we were in the middle of the harbour and they don't fly. The idea of taking them to shore to burn might work in an unpopulated place but you couldn't be certain to contain all the bugs once ashore. And chemical eradication? What chemicals - fly spray? Open to suggestions as there's a likelihood this could happen again.
Unless you think he's Jewish, what difference? They've eaten shellfish, bacon, worked in the Sabbath and broken goodness knows how many other biblical commandments but they're Christians but Jews
Taken out of context one can say for tattoos, but if you actually read it, it’s not to get one for the dead. Also the same verse says not to cut your sideburns. So glad we are not under the ceremonial law since Jesus fulfilled it.
Was not a good idea dumping infested foods into the water you may well be introducing bugs and or other problems into this paradise maybe burning in a beach bon fire would have been a better idea 😬just saying. It has always amazed me the obsession with tattoos in my opinion l think they look stupid and cheap to each his own 😴
Love the ink Kris! :) Will you be telling us in some video the meanings to everything that made up the tattoo?
Nice video, as always. Looks like you are getting mixed reviews on the tattoo, which is too bad. I like it.

When you buy rice, flour, beans, etc you need to put it all the freezer for a few days. No more bugs.. Great video guys!
Correct, all flour has larvae in it. Stored in the freezer they won't hatch.
I appreciate this but we don't have the freezer space onboard unfortunately.
@@sailingwithsix Many marinas has large freezer capacity, and I am sure for a few $$$ you could get your items "done" there.
Thanks for taking us with you, the waterfall visit was amazing. I can't get over how beautiful that island is. There is something to be said for being somewhat isolated.
It's paradise. So stunning. And yes it's likely stayed this way because it's very isolated 😀
Tip, use water cooler bottles for storing beans & rice.
They make them smaller. Pour in bottles and cap. Get rid of all plastic, paper & cardboard
Great idea!
This might be my favorite place you guys have visited!!! Totally worth the three weeks at sea!!! Such a beautiful island!!! Can’t wait to see where else you explore!!! 😎🐚⛵️💙🌊🏄🏼🤙

I always enjoy spending time with your family through your videos. The sailors during the Age of Sail suffered with weevil and maggot infested food. I’m thinking the rice could’ve been salvaged since rice is cooked by boiling.
We managed to save some of it but that one pack was beyond saving. Amazing to imagine the hardships sailors of old experienced. 😊
Thanks for taking me on a journey passed all the things that make me gag. Feral rice. Parasites, next thing zombies. 😂😂😂

We store rice, flour and sugar in the original package inside a vacuum seal container and haven't had a bug issue since we did.

It has always amazed me the obsession with tattoos in my opinion l think they look stupid and cheap to each his own 😴
Shame on you for getting a Tattoo !... Not Cool In my opinion ... Think about Your children are they next ?...
