    Can you spot the lightning bolt hitting the water behind Rachel? A very close call during the most spectacular lightning storm we have ever witnessed. And that includes the time we were struck by lightning!

      *ive said this b4, but living on the 51st floor in a studio is - in many ways, not all - very similar to living on a boat.* i dont lift things, sure: but wash by hand, & tie a lot of knots to anchors (#onlyFans): it is real similar. less swimming. oh, thr is a pool on L21, but i never make it that far inland. _JC

    Fascinating insight into the views of Teens living a boating life. They all seem to have such a sensible attitude towards their lives in general which you don't see in City Kids from my experience. They also seem very caring and aware of nature and also appreciate the things they are seeing and experiencing. Milo is coming along nicely. Most animals are a natural at swimming because they have very little fear. My German Shepherd loves water and as a breed they are fearless. That's why they make brilliant Police Dogs. Great video again especiaily with Ivan's sense of humour. Keep well and safe. James.

    When my boys were 12 and 14 we went on a “wild cave” tour at a Raccoon Mountain in Tennessee. Our cave guide was only 16 but knew the cave so well he could navigate it in total darkness. We had lots of crawling through very narrow passages (one named “The Birth Canal” to give you an idea of the size) lit only by the headlamp on the helmet. The boys loved it. But when the tour was over I had to bag up all our clothes in a garbage bag to take home where I had to soak them for two days to get the dirt and mud stains out.

    I've watched Ivan grow up and since the early days he's always had that quirky sense of humour. Funniest example in my opinion was his comment in one episode years ago when he must have been 11 or 12, "Hell of a time to give up smoking". No doubt his awesome parents had an input however it was perfect comedic timing.

    • @TheCruisingKiwis

    G’day Kiwis, I may have mentioned this before to you, nevertheless could you buy one of these hand made boats? Ask for me how much you could buy one for at mates rates of coarse while your in the village? Install a mast and wala, sail boat for the boys, maybe? 😊 Gosh Bridie is a beautiful name, SV Pelican now that’s an ideal name for a Yacht as well. Could be a good catch for a young sailor I would assume hey Ivan?
    Whoa there, hey just saying so steady on.😅 The fun just never ends for these young sailors. The public education system is in havoc, last havoc. My neighbour was a career high schoolteacher in his Seventies and told me how the other day on his birthday he was chastised by the principal for “raising his voice” at a student. He said “you know what? I quit.” They sit on their phones all day chatting to one another. Seriously sailing youths are much better educated than main stream schooling and are not anywhere near as lamentable.😊You may need a wide angle lens to keep Thor in camera. I just watched an excellent movie you may choose to check out Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning and Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends. Yes, Japanese yet don’t let that deter you Ivan. Enjoy

I would say the effort you put into filming and editing is tremendous and also very much appreciated (long or short) by me and hopefully all your followers.
