    I bought a new car not long ago but I lost the excitement pretty soon. I wonder how much excitement it could be felt for getting something as big as a boat... That must be very epic.
    BTW, you have a gorgeous yet very helpful daughter. What a lucky father.

    Good day to everyone on board of that beautiful Nordhavn yacht. I just found your channel a few hours ago and this is the 3rd video of yours I have watched and I have to say, you are truly blessed to have each other and I look forward to watching more videos from you. The fun you have together shows very well on these videos. Just a regular typical family and I have to say it for a second time, I am truly looking forward to watching more of your videos in the future. I subscribed after i watched the 2nd video of the 1 of 2 parts where you showed us your boat. I can see your family will truly love that boat and you'll all be making Alot of Great memories together and getting that time on video will make it even more special for you all in the future to look back on your family together. You'll have many videos to look back on an see if you had changed from the first day you got her. Good luck, stay healthy an safe to you all. Before I leave, I'll tell you what I tell everyone. Share the Love and remember Love is the glue that holds everything together in our Universe. Love is the most powerful thing we can have to share with everyone. I prayed for God to keep you all safe on your journeys. Amen my new UA-cam friends.

    Found your site 12 months ago looking for info on N51 , as I loved the concept of a twin engine Nordhavn with a dedicated wheelhouse. Loved the shots of the stern with engines at full speed. I am an old Royal Australian Navy Destroyer man, and we call the plume of water created by twin screws at full speed a Rooster Tail.

    Hi I’m not sure if your aware the switch on the side of the throttle box on the tender is part of the safety engine kill system, if your driving the tender the kill cord should be fitted when you start the engine ie to your person and the throttle, so if the driver is accidentally thrown from the vessel the engine will stop. Happy and safe boating. Mike aka Flipper from Camel Trophy.

      @@AwanuiNZ The main problem with kettles is they run at 3kw the maximum power consumption, when this max consumption is turned off with the thermostat in the kettle it arcs and the surge trips the already max loaded marine system. The answer is a small travel kettle or possibly a digital kettle with temp control. This digital switching system may help, though this is only an assumption. I would like to see it proven or disproven.
