As an American who lived in Australia for a few years, I can speak to some of the cultural differences. 1. If you are going to the pub with friends, plan on buying a round for your entire party. That's how they do it. Everyone takes turns buying a round. Its your shout (your turn) they will say. You might end up buying 10 drinks all at once, but may not have to spend another dime on drinks that night. 2. It isn't common knowledge, but a lot of aussies are a little distrustful of Americans. They only know what tv and movies portray us as. However, if you can get past that, they are the most loyal friends you will ever have. 3. While I was there, a beer truck rolled on a Sydney freeway. This event made all 3 national news networks. Don't underestimate the importance of beer.
Hi Guys, I started out with 3 daughters who ate like sparrows. When the boyfriends appeared, my fridge and food cupboards would mysteriously empty daily. Do you have any plans for more food storeage as your boys grow? Loving the Q&A
How can anybody give a thumbs down to such a great family sharing how they live the life of sailing with kids. They are trolls and jealous. We've watched this family grow on UA-cam and share such great experiences. Seth and Liz keep up the great job and keep sharing your videos. Boy the kids hair grows really fast, phew. Take care. Love your channel.
Oh, I would of like to hear about the story Elisabeth wanted to tell about when they met in a bar, but couldn't because it was the speed round questions time!
At Elisabeth admire your courage going sailing knowing that you get seasick. I fish in the waters off Cape Town and it can get hairy so I understand the feeling of being queasy as well as out of it🤣🤣😎Given you are in Oz may I suggest acupuncture the Ozzies are into alternative medicine and it may help nothing ventured nothing gained. My family are in NSW but being in Cape Town South Africa it may be sometime before I see them again. But my Mom swears by these alternatives particularly if modern medicine doesn’t work or gets you spayed out. Love your channel keep it real 🖖😎
Awsame video!!!!! Thanks for the QA... I ve just miss one question who always runs on my head.. I belive it is so beautiful to make friends everywhere worldwide, but.. it is no so hard to let them behind to probably dont see them agsin? It is difficult for kids? Thank you so much for sharing your experience!!!!
Good question! We love making friends all over the world and now it is easy to stay in touch with them through social media, etc. For the kids, it will be really cool to have friends in other countries. Maybe one day as they get older they can go visit. :) Elizabeth
Regarding the kid's Kindle and electronic entertainment limits for the kids, I feel that reading is exercise for the brain. Games, TV and videos are bubble gum for the brain. The Sailing Family videos are the exception.
Ginger??? So you have ginger? Or and mint? I will send you some. Going to send you some ginger mint tea I will make for you from my garden. Also I’m going to send you a wonderful kimmo wrap that my daughter has created from her organic dyed fabrics. You deserve this amazing beautiful piece of art. We just have to have an address to send it??? Don’t like putting information out there on this site
Thank you so much, Debbie but we don't have a mailing address. One of the downsides of living on a sailboat. I will try ginger and mint. Happy to try anything! Best, Elizabeth
Thank you! Luckily the time sailing is only about 20% of our time. Most of the time we are at anchor exploring places. It is difficult but all the things we get to do living this lifestyle is worth it. Best, Elizabeth
as a gay man i don’t give 2 shakes for women’s bathing suits or beach attire in general. that said, even i noticed the outfits elizabeth wears. (be it her own line or others) that tells you something! hopefully she can return to it once the pandemic is truly under control! great update as my timeline is a bit fuzzy trying to factor in when hale was in my friend’s class on cape cod and the repair break and then the covid madness. i think i got it now! best to all! 🦩
I enjoyed this video. You guys are just meant for each other. Beautiful family and by the way Elizabeth you are so pretty and yes Seth you are handsome and have great looking boy’s and I can just see the love. Happy sailing. See you next week.
Tell KiKi. My name is pronounced: I don't know JP. (idntnojp) And thanks for including me in your Q&A but sad to hear Elizabeth has shut it down. I really enjoyed this Q&A. Boys did a great job with the introduction! Looking forward to your next Q & A.
Going back to your "last video series" in Fiji for a moment, I am not sure if you have been keeping up with the news but, Fiji has now been hit hard with Covid (I think the Delta variant) and now has almost 8000 cases mostly contained on the main island. Fingers crossed that they can get a handle on it quickly before it spreads to the outer islands.
@@TheSailingFamily Seriously consider getting a Slater designs cymatic. It is the best, fastest, carviest board I’ve ever had. I’m 5-11 and the 5-9 is perfect for me. They nailed the length/volume/rocker dims. 🤙🏾🤙🏾
So great to see you all in real time.❤️ What a great episode! My only complaint is that is wasn’t long enough! Fantastic to hear your take on sailing life. I’ve got five sons who are now young men. We’ve also had some amazing holidays together at the ages your boys are now. Couldn’t agree with you more that 5 to 8 is the perfect age. Curious, enthusiastic, adventurous & just love hanging with Mum & Dad. The beauty of spending this precious time with them is it forms family bonds that will last a lifetime. ❤️
That was excellent. Thank you. The big question that we have is how on Earth did you manage to keep 5 boys so quiet for half an hour? Bribery? Sedation? Bound and gagged? Amazing.
A rare TV episode with their buds. Currently they like Teen Titans. Otherwise the noise and interruptions would have made that a 4 hour episode! :) ~Seth
Nice to see the family opening up... Great Q&A.. I know that sea sicknes is a pain in the but, at least when one of you have it. I adminre the strength Elisabeth have putting up with it again and again that takes strength and determintaion. I tested my wife just now for 10 days in a Logoon 42. She loved the boat but hated the sea....lol.... I gues a Lagoon 42 is not the best boat to sail along the coast of Norway..... It made a lot of noise in rough sea. If we are lucky we will be able to rent a 4X next month. But i dont think my wife will like the boat because she also got to see a Lagoon 55 when we were in france a month ago. But i have to sell my wife if i am getting a Lagoon 55. She wont read this...lol.
@@TheSailingFamily : Hi..... Yes that sure is a important factor. And it is true, this is not just about what i want and what kind of boat i want. She have made that pretty clear...
That was a great video thanks! And yes what a shame about "where did you meet" came in the Quick Fire questions time because it sounds like there is story there
I will forever be wondering the rest of that "We met at a bar" story, where Elizabeth began to say, "...but the most interesting part is" and then abruptly stopped and Seth briskly changed the subject 😂 36:05
It's a good story actually. We met at a bar and quickly discovered we lived in the same neighborhood. Then the same street. Then the same cross street. Then the same building. I had moved into the third floor of the building and Elizabeth lived on the sixth. It was very funny to realize we were neighbors, but not to meet in the building. And quite convenient because I did not have to ask for her number. Anyway, that's the short version!
Hey do you care to give us some feedback on our brand and retail? If you find you love the wear, we’d love to get you something out there asap. And if so, Is there anything on the site in particular you feel you would purchase? Like something you just HAVE to have?
Hello Seth and Elizabeth, Oh man, I wish I had known that you were doing a live stream! As far as Aussies are concerned (I met a ton of them in Europe years ago) they don't just remind me of Americans, they remind me of Californians. But they can drink more beer in one night than I can drink water! Crazy fun people, though. I loved the clinic you (Seth) and Doug did with Brett from Multihull Central, it was absolutely fabulous. You, Seth, and Doug both talked about reefing the main. You have a two-line reefing system and Doug has a single-line system. Some folks (Jimmy Cornell, for one) have talked about the difficulty of reefing a large Outremer while sailing downwind. Doug stated that it's a slow process, but very controlled - so I imagine he reefs real early. How is that maneuver performed on the O-51 sailing dead downwind? Great video by the way, good to hear all this perspective stuff too!
Good question. We don't find it hard. In fact, we find reefing easier than shaking a reef. You just tighten the main sheet, then gradually pull down the leech and the luff as you ease the halyard. It seems easy for us, but shaking a reef we do point up wind as it seems like there is too much load on the halyard when going up. -Seth
@@TheSailingFamily Thank you Seth, that's good to know. Hearing Jimmy talking about it taking 30 minutes for three people to put a single reef in an Outremer 5X was a bit worrisome. He had a rotating mast put on his Elcano - an O-45 with modifications. I can see that having a two-line reefing system could get jammed a bit, depending on the wind strength, but it seems like it should be pretty easy to get unstuck. Cheers!
Not many have the $$$$$. Yes some get rich through utube. You dont need donations the more I feel privileged that you share your trip. Few are this fortune. Good karma I guess. I am so happy for you can do this and let us observe. Thank you very much.
Well, from our perspective, it seemed America mis-managed Covid at first (certainly compared to New Zealand, Fiji and Australia who restricted state travel, instituted mask mandates and required contact tracing app use in public places), but is now ahead of some nations in vaccinations, regaining international travel and getting back to business as usual. In fact, Australia is so far behind on delivering vaccines that it is now dealing with another wave, as is France and a lot of other countries. We were happy to be somewhere else before, but now it's coming to us. That is what we meant... ~Seth
BEST cruiser Q&A yet. Seth & Elizabeth are hands down the best sailing parents out there. Anyone else would be crazy to drag 3 boys around the world. Keep up the great work guys. Fair winds and following seas Archer.
When I sailed with my brother and his wife and child across the Atlantic back in the 80's, my brothers wife was sick EVERY day at sea. I applaud you, Elizabeth for not giving up and sticking with it as she did. Sea sickness, if you haven't experienced it, is debilitating and miserable to say the least. I love you channel and you all, but I have HUGHE respect for you Elizabeth!
Great video!! I love how you always include the boys in your video's. I can see how important they feel. I think that's a great learning experience. Alot of kids or adult's even don't get that experience ever. The boys never look nervous they do such a great job😊 Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us!
Great job by moderators and debate contestants 🤣 loved this video, I’m personally fond of off the cuff videos that don’t get a lot of editing, like cutting out stuff, or maybe put them at the end like bloopers. Be your self’s put you and the boys first and enjoy. Vicki, Central Oregon, US
I had a friend look into citizenship/work visa in Australia you have to be under 40 have a degree /skill they are in need of or value, my mate is a pharmacist and early 40s. 👎
That's a hard call. But I guess we would say Australia offers just a bit more in terms of more cities, larger cities, more cruising ground and warmer temperatures. We're really loving it here! -Seth
That was a great intro ,really good questions and answers ,read,write,maths thats all we need the boys are learning the rest and seeing it ,Seth swimsuits are alot cheaper than shoes/handbags I am sure .so NO Date night for 2 years bless you both ,next week we go back in time :):)
I am SOOO glad Elizabeth knows how to take over in emergencies. I perceive he has taken a few chances without wearing lifevest ( at night).what if he falls overboard and Elizabeth is sleeping? I dont have seen him click into jackline ( in case he has one) often. Most boats take some sails down to be safer at night. So that worries me when he rushes to the next port taking some things and breaking stuff aboard from equipment strain. I mean he is s very good sailor but safety is a bit sloppy it SEEMS..
We're pretty safe, but yes, we could always be safer. We have jacklines and use them when it's rough. And we always reef going into night (especially after our spinnaker scare). Lifejackets are always worn when going forward in the dark, and I always tell Elizabeth (even if she's sleeping) that I'm going forward. Thankfully we can do 99% of our sail handling from the helm. Thanks for watching. ~Seth
We would love to teach them a new language but no, we are not including that at the moment. It's hard if neither of us speak the language and we keep traveling to new countries with different languages. We wish we could include that. -Seth
I don’t understand why some can get into Australia and some can’t at all ? I’m wanting to travel to Adelaide from Canada to be with my daughter who’s having a baby in August but I understand they won’t accept international travellers at all even double vaccinated like myself? What did you do to get your visa to visit and stay? I read they won’t open up their borders until end of 2022. Any advice ? Also how do you support yourselves during this lifestyle?
We were very lucky to get in. We applied three times from Fiji before getting our State Department involved who petitioned on our behalf. On our fourth effort we ended up getting in on a "Safe Haven from South Pacific Cyclones" exemption - as Cyclone season was starting and as Americans we had no where safe to go. We had to pay for our two weeks hotel quarantine and boat storage as well. But we are very lucky to have gotten in. Perhaps one of only 3 or 4 international families lucky enough to do so? -Seth
Lol, typical thought police perspective. Sorry to offend, but you were the ones that brought it up, albeit in a subtle way. Perhaps thicken your skin. Great video, regardless, and thank you for that.
Too heavy! Uses a lot of water and power. Requiring a generator, which is also too heavy! We have had no trouble finding laundry mats everywhere we travel.

We would love to teach them a new language but no, we are not including that at the moment. It's hard if neither of us speak the language and we keep traveling to new countries with different languages. We wish we could include that. -Seth
come down to Woodgate you will love it
Thank you, Brandon. :) Elizabeth
Lots of fun folks, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! :) Elizabeth
A great watch again 👍🏴
I don’t understand why some can get into Australia and some can’t at all ? I’m wanting to travel to Adelaide from Canada to be with my daughter who’s having a baby in August but I understand they won’t accept international travellers at all even double vaccinated like myself? What did you do to get your visa to visit and stay? I read they won’t open up their borders until end of 2022. Any advice ? Also how do you support yourselves during this lifestyle?
They quarantined in a hotel for two weeks after getting approval to come from Fiji.
We were very lucky to get in. We applied three times from Fiji before getting our State Department involved who petitioned on our behalf. On our fourth effort we ended up getting in on a "Safe Haven from South Pacific Cyclones" exemption - as Cyclone season was starting and as Americans we had no where safe to go. We had to pay for our two weeks hotel quarantine and boat storage as well. But we are very lucky to have gotten in. Perhaps one of only 3 or 4 international families lucky enough to do so? -Seth
Australian would love you to join us.
Let's hope so. We are applying for an extended VISA now... -Seth
I will say a prayer 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Appreciate you sharing your adventures !
I sure like how Seth handles being corrected. I need to learn to be better at accepting as you do.
Oh, I'm no angel! 😃 😇 👿 Plus, let's be honest, she was right! ~Seth
Thanks for the q & a. It was awesome to hear from you in real time! Very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it! ~S
Glad to see the boys have their hair back. Where are you going after Australia?

That was great!!
Thank you, Christine! :) Elizabeth
That was entertaining, but for the next one please throw someone in the water at the end of the Q and A.
Ha. Good idea! Unfortunately we were in Tiger Shark territory and a harbor with a deadly history. Sadly no swimming here!!! :(. -Seth
That was good
Thank you! Elizabeth
Cool Beans & wonderful insight. 👍😎👍💕
Glad you enjoyed it
Enjoyed that so much! Thank you
Great stuff guys thank you
You think America is getting back on track? Ha! It’s a bigger mess than ever…
Well, they are obviously libs and ok with a dementia addled Biden.
Do we really need to bring politics into a simple Q&A? Let's move on Gerry...
Lol, typical thought police perspective.
Sorry to offend, but you were the ones that brought it up, albeit in a subtle way. Perhaps thicken your skin.
Great video, regardless, and thank you for that.
Are you worried about running out of money with your Bank America loans and all?
Yes. If rates rise we will have to find another way... -Seth
Thinking Treasury estates? Wine? Australia? Looks like a great fit. Ps not only am I a USCG Master but also an advanced sommelier.
Haha. The goal is not to go back to work for them! :) Although I miss my doses of Grange. -Seth
Thank you.
Glad you liked it, Earl. :) Elizabeth

Great Q&A, guys!
Glad you enjoyed it :) Elizabeth
Washing machine! 😼
Too heavy! Uses a lot of water and power. Requiring a generator, which is also too heavy! We have had no trouble finding laundry mats everywhere we travel.
Awesome job on the video big thumbs up 👍👍👍👍
I really enjoy your videos however this was a little dull. I hope your having a great time in Fiji.
Well, you can’t please everyone. 😜
This was the video that converted me from just a viewer to a subscriber!
