Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Your living my dream!
Thank you for watching!
Thanx for music. Have recorded on audacity.I have watched every item re Nordahavn on you tube. You are lucky.
NSW Australia
Thank you for watching. We love hearing that! I am glad you liked that song.
Great shopping and putting away all that stuff. Here's a trick with bread and rolls that I use to get "nearly" all the air out of the food saver bags. Before you take the air out, put the breat/rolls (whatever) in the food savor bags then freeze them. Once they are rock hard frozen remove the air. That way you won't crush the rolls, bread etc. Works great.
Thank you! Great idea. I do that for cupcakes but didn’t think about that for bread.
Lived on and traveled those waters for 10 yrs. I miss the entire S.E. Alaskan area very much. Safe travels!
It is hard to get Alaska out of your system. We sure can't.
As someone fortunate enough to have traveled across the globe as a merchant mariner (and being from Norway with our own unique seaboard), there's not a shadow of a doubt in my mind, the coastal stretch from Big Sur, Cal., all the way up to and including Alaska, has no rival when it comes to scenery, going by a vessel like the *HAVASEAS* must be the absolute most splendid way to roam this coast! . . . Thanks for sharing, and bon voyage! . . .
When I visited Norway it reminded me quite a bit of Alaska.
@@havaseas I absolutely concur, even though, upon comparison - I'd say _our_ coastline is the 'infant brother' of that of BC and Alaska! . . . 😉
Love your videos. Thank you.
Thank you and thank you for watching!
Incredible scenery.
Alaska is so beautiful. It will be difficult to leave someday.
Very cool video! Love the aircraft shots! I'm a retired airline pilot so.... I appreciate the provisioning stuff! I wish more would do a thorough provisioning video. It's needed so that novices can really understand what to expect. There was a N72, can't remember the boat name, but they showed going to Costco and a meat market, then how she managed all the storage. With electronic excel sheets to track where everything was stored. I soak it all in for when we get out Nordhavn. Thank you for showing us this stuff!
I am going to have to go track down that video. I started to make a spreadsheet, but that isn’t how I think so it wasn’t working for me. I plan to do something with that downstairs pantry so that I can see everything. I also watched and read the provisioning vlogs and blogs before we bought. It’s been easy so far. It will be foreign countries that could get me more creative.
@@havaseas I just looked it up
ShearMadness is the N72
Kathy Clark is the youtube channel
The episode is
Provisioning for cruising
What airline? I am retired F/A originally CO, then UAL.
Yeah, being that I worked galley most of the time, finding spots for all food and utensils required some planning.
Hope you guys have safe passage all the way!! Stay safe Havaseas crew!
Thanks!!!
That Nordhavn looks more comfortable than a house. Now I understand why most everyone who buys a Nordhavn sell their houses and move onto their Nordhavns. Do you have 1 or 2 alternators on the main engine? Is there an alternator on the wing engine? Even a first-time passenger on a boat could sleep well at night with your captain at the helm. You are such a nice couple, thanks for the enjoyable videos.
Sometimes I forget that I am on a boat because it just feels like home. We have 2 alternators on the main engine. The main engine has a second alternator to charge the house batter bank and thruster battery banks. The wing and generator each have their own alternator to charge a dedicated start battery. I feel safe with Eric at the helm too, but he almost go thrown overboard while we tried to answer your alternator question. ;)
Lovely 😍video
Looking forward to your next step.
Love the details when it comes to describe the routes, weather cooking and engine checks ✔
Missing the docking videos and it will be perfect.
Take care for now and
Stay safe
Next time we have a third person on board I will try for another docking shot. Maybe I can put a GoPro on Eric’s head during the docking……. How do you will think that will go for me? ;)
I love Meyers Chuck! It was so neat and so much character in there! We want to do this trip again so bad! Thanks for sharing this trip!
We need to go back and spend more time there too!
As a sailor of small keel boats I can see the attraction of a motor yacht like yours. On watch in the dry, heading up wind, a washer dryer! The comforts are too many to mention unfortunately as an older retired man , I don't see me ever having the funds. Oh well up with the mainsail and venture on come springtime. Enjoy your trip guys, short days and no sailing in Northern Europe for a few months.
I wish I was brave enough to sail. This was the way my husband got me on the water.
Beautiful boat, emergency meals, we do that at home also… not the same… the views are stunning..
I am glad others have the same concept as emergency meals. If you are too tired to cook, I find that you are too tired to go out and get a meal.
Cracking vid, thank you. Cant wait until the next one.
Thank you. Working on the next one soon.
Great views and moorages you used, those sunsets - wow. Once again Love your Nordhavn , well maintained and clean. Oh and you provision like a Pro! Can't wait to see the next stretch. Keep safe.
Thanks! I will be working on the next leg soon!
Beautiful cruising video! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching!
Excellent video. And the scenery is amazing. I cant wait to see it all in person. Thank you and be safe.
Yes, you will need to visit Alaska. Beautiful place. So is Canada.
I'm really enjoy watching your videos! Keep posting and be safe out there💖
Thank you! Will do!
So good to see ya back!!!!
Thanks! I love doing the videos but dang we get busy!
Great episode! Thanks for sharing! Scenery is still beautiful even with all the rain and low clouds...
I find that the rain and clouds are peaceful. Of course…. I grew up in Alaska so that is home.
New sub, great video, keep them coming!
Thanks for the sub!
GREAT video!! Looks absolutely beautiful up there! I'm hoping to move to either Ketchikan or Juneau in spring as an Aircraft Mechanic. You have a new subscriber! Much respect and support from Yuma, AZ. 👍👍
You will love Alaska!
Kudos for your video. Adding a little more local color (maybe more descriptive about the areas you're moving in), thoughts about the "why" of boat life (you have "how" down) and what your personal take is on the day. I wouldn't try to involve Eric in conversation on video- he obviously doesn't seem to appreciate it. Your personality shines through though ... hope you keep it up!
Thank you for the suggestions! I will try to incorporate them.
Yeah, more info about a days fuel burn, average hours on engine for day and fuel costs at each fill up in different locales.
Gives one interested in cruising in retirement, anticipated costs. Also, average and max knot speed for the wing engine. Also genset fuel burn please.
Cool float plane taking off! Have a lot of those around FL too
The planes are very cool!
Glad i found your channel
Me too!
I did enjoyed watching your vedio ..
Thank you so much!
You are living the life.
We think so. Not everyone thinks so, but we like it.
Hey hey! New sub! I loved this vid. I hope Eric becomes a little more animated, but I get it. You don’t buy this caliber of boat, and cruise these North western waters because you “just love to be around people” - this type of boating is not for everyone.
I’m dying to begin my adventure! I’m looking at a 37’ Nordic tug this coming weekend. It’s here, in eastern Canada, so it’s a “window shopping” trip for me. The seller knows, but is being gracious enough to give me some time. I’ll be a serious buyer in the spring of 2022 after moving to British Columbia after Christmas. We have a “well to do” daughter in Langley, a B.C. Hydro exec. who will house us until our live-aboard is purchased. I want a true passage maker, as I’ll be sailing similar waters, and have the Sea of Cortez as a bucket lister, too!
You have a beautiful home/boat! Looking forward to exploring your channel as part of my “education “
Peace
(forgot to mention that we will be accompanied by our two Yorkies, Gracie and Pearl!)
I really like Nordic tugs! They seem similar in layout to our boat. I read Eric your post and he says, “buy a boat!” I wish you the best on your journey. Enjoy the process. We are trying to learn that this is not a race but a journey. You are correct that Eric is a bit of a loner. What you see is just his personality. He does love hearing the comments from people, though. Your pups will most likely love the boat!
@@havaseas Cheers!
I noticed you don't seem to use A slow cooker. When I was boating or rving I would set the croak pot up and when we anchored for the night dinner was ready
Your comment has me thinking…. For years I used a crockpot while I was working and the kids were in sports. Since I am not working and have more time I tend to have more fun cooking. However… for some reason I don’t enjoy cooking as much after a long run. I think I might try using the crockpot on those days so I am not having to resort to my frozen emergency meals. Since we are running I won’t need to worry about the pull of electricity on the batteries. Thank you so much for your question to make me think thru this idea! I will give it a try! I did bring the crockpot with us!
Eric just seconded the idea!
Yes I was watching the kitchen series and lo and behold in the cabinet with the toaster lol make sure to put cooler in the sink so if you hit rough seas it stays put
That's cooker love the auto spell not
Very well done.
Thank you!
Wait.. you took the wine out of the fridge to make space for salad?? ;)
LOL! Only for a short time!
Do you find any of the anti nausea products work? Bracelets seem to be the product du jour. have you ride very many of them?
I do use the bracelet. It seems to help. The important thing is for me to make sure it is charged and on my wrist before we start. I think it helps but I still can’t move around much without getting ill. I am still searching for better options. Dramamine knocks me out which isn’t so good if I need to assist.
On my offshore fishing runs on my old 24 cc Robalo, couple times felt weezy. I would bury my face into some cold cantalaupe or watermelon and bam felt much better. Think something to do with the fructose.
Not that you need worry about heat, but here in Texas offshore in 100 F, we fill up a 5 gallon bucket with fresh water, squeeze couple lemons, bag of ice, and tiny bit of bleach. Soak towels to wrap around neck and snort the fumes of lemon bleach. Not only cools the body, but definitely wakes one up. Just ideas for those times of intense heat on the water or humid days.
Yikes sea lions attack... Wow that would be tough and hurt...
I am watching Distin even closer after hearing that tail. The story cam up because a sea lion was eying her on the swim step. I noticed in Glacier Bay that Distin was very cautious about the sea lions.
@@havaseas yeah little Distin would not have a chance like the gators down here in FL dogs and wildlife do not mix too well... stay safe little Distin!!
what type of emergency meals do you guys bring on trips?
An emergency meal to me is anything that I don’t have to work at…. Frozen lasagna or something I premade that I just stick in the oven. This way I can sit down and have a glass of wine and know the day is done.
😍😍😍 cool
Thanks!
Great videos, you don't get much chatter out of your other half though do you?! He must be camera shy but your very informative:)
Thank you! I probably talk enough for the both of us. ;)
Halibut and potatoes is that Alaskan for fish and chips
I consider deep fried halibut and fries the fish and chips. This is a healthier easier version. I cut up chunks of halibut, dip them in olive oil, then roll them in a mixture of bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. The potatoes are cut up and mixed in a olive oil and Johnies seasoning mix. They are then baked at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. I need to start putting recipes or links to recipes in my comment sections. Thank you for asking the question.
Try marinating some fish overnight in olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, i also cut up fresh onion, and sesame oil. Saute on frying pan, or could grill. Pour over white rice with extra juice if left in pan. I at times add dried parsly flakes and if you have them sauteed mushrooms.
Just spent 3 months in Ketchikan. 4 years total in Alaska - mostly by Dutch.
We want to get up further north the next summer or two.
@@havaseas That would be interesting. Stop by Bristol Bay during the Salmon run and see a TON of fishing vessels , Huge Trampers from all over the world, crab boats / tenders and a whole lota little gill netters- cut throat fishing. Around mid-June
👍👍
Thanks!
You don't have to refrigerate eggs , just turn them over every few days !
Very interesting.... Thank you!
You sure seem to plan well for “Not feelin it days”.. Hmmm, not premeditated at all --Nahhhhh😂😆😳
Uh oh! You caught me!
What is opening music
It came from BenSound. It is called “Perception.” Let me know if you need more information. I am so happy that the let people use the music, only requiring a credit.
Whats the name of intro music
Perception with BenSound.
The rest of the world doesn’t refrigerate raw eggs and have lived to tell the tale.
I have heard that you don't need to refrigerate them if they haven't ever been refrigerated. I could do some more research..... but for now I am erring on the side of caution. I have been experimenting with not refrigerating all the sauces after noticing that my Vietnamese Sister-in-Law does not.
If it's all just a Paine and your out of sorts about it . Why do we need to hear about it ?
Sorry. I am just trying to give everyone a clear picture of life on a boat.
Lekker man lekker
Thanks!
Катлеты жарила лопатку слабо на блюдце класть)))
Thank you for the comment. I am trying to figure out how to translate it. Thank you for watching!
