  • Mako and I are settling into a bit of a routine here in the US Virgin Islands.. and it feels good. While we are in St. John, I take advantage of some of the shorter hikes and put Mako to a little test (:
    Give a little extra support 💞 The circumnavigation is JUST beginning... all of your help goes towards more gear to make the videos a bit better and the boat safer and more functional for myself as a single hand (and maybe an extra treat for Mako)

    Awe it's home! I miss living on St John. Should have never left. Thanks for bringing me back after 2 years. And there's an active crew out on the reefs fighting to preserve it. Shout out to Frank Cummings who also runs the Lionfish removal program that gives us CORE members license to hunt them in NP waters.

    Diving on a reef is so relaxing and fun. Mako on the trail was like, you can carry me anytime you like. He's so funny. He has a bigger than life personality. Enjoyed the video, Lauren.

  • @wthaid
    @wthaid 5 місяців тому +1

    Great Episode and very cool footage!
    Well done to Mako for being so easy on the hikes. He's a great cat.
    There are a number of youtube channels that I get inspiration from, among them are Spear It Animal, Delos, Ryan and Sophie, Slim and Soph, and so many more, but you are my number one inspiration, Lauren. How you handle your 50ft boat as a solo sailor has me in awe. And with all of that inspiration you have given me I have just come back from my first ever sail. I left a little town called Metung in Eastern Victoria just over a week ago, and sailed 300NM with a sailing instructor up the east coast of Australia, just past Sydney. On this trip was also doing my Dayskipper's Qualification.
    Can't wait to sail the Whitsunday Islands in Australia, The Med and wave at you as I sail past in the Caribbean one day.
    And without you I probably would have never started. This has been life changing for me. 🤟💌
    So a massive and heartfelt 'Thank-you' from me to you and Mako.
    - Pete

    Muy buen episodio Lauren, las tomas bajo el agua y la caminata también. Me gusta que lleves al primer oficial a los recorridos, es complicado, pero lo tiene merecido. Por sobre todo me siento bien de que estes segura con amigos y disfrutando de tu sueño, la bahia donde anclaste es hermosa y tu sonrisa tambien. No digo nada de la calidad porque siempre van mejorando y el solo hecho de vivir tu sueño a través de tus filmaciones para mi es suficiente. Que todos digan bien y siempre esperando tu próximo vídeo. Un beso para ti y otro para Mako, cuidense y disfruten lo maximo 😘😘😘💗💗💙💙

  • @js7127
    @js7127 5 місяців тому +1

    Lauren, you totally nailed the many expressions of Mako. Having cats 53 of my 58yrs love the disappointed look when you left snorkeling, not happy with the harness and I'm over this looking for a cool place to lie while hiking. Have only snorkeled around So California so know very little but that reef looked unhealthy. Awesome you got to see a shark, am sure you miss interacting with the other toothy ones.

  • @CobusM1

  • @lyfandeth
    @lyfandeth 5 місяців тому +1

    You can grab the mooring ball solo from the stern if you prep for it. You take a mooring line or any spare line from your mooring point on the bow, go outside your railing the same way your anchor chain does, and walk that line all the way aft OUTSIDE the rail. Then come over the rail with it.
    Now you sail alongside the mooring ball, stalling out when it is just ahead of the helm. So you can grab the ball or pennant, hook on that new lline, and let go of it.
    You will drift back on the slack, but if you go up to the bow you are already moored, you just need to haul in the slack.
    Easier to do than to read.

    If you leave the sticky notes long enough Lauren they’ll fall off😆job done..

    I have never seen a cat like Mako. Most cats are so ultra independent that I usually don’t like them.
    And putting Mako on a leash I would have never guessed he would so be cooperative. I think he is an exceptional cat. My sister has a male cat that I don’t really like, he is impossible to get to do anything like Mako. And really hard to keep up with. Maybe you trained Mako right, IDK, but he is different.

    Hi Lauren! Question, were you in Jensen Beach Florida on Saturday, April 6th, in front of a restaurant called Mulligan’s talking to a woman with a dog? I was sitting just inside at a big rectangular table and if it was you I saw you!
