Love your postings! Thank you for being so positive and upbeat about your journey. It is a dream of many of us out here to do the same thing and it really feeds our souls to live through your family. I get tired of the negative Nancys and downer Debbies who just post all the negative things. Like if it’s really that bad, go home! Keep up the great work. ❤️❤️
Thank you! I am often perceived as negative but it’s just showing reality out here. I wish I would have known some of these things prior. All that said, it’s a pretty incredible journey. Thanks for following along!
We have saved our credit card points for years and use it for hotels and airlines. It was free thanks to Hilton Honors program otherwise we would have had an alone night on the boat. The fare drop channel by Kara and Nate have great info on using credit cards to travel.
Another awesome video, Thank you Guys. Congrats on 5K subscribers lets bring on 50K soon. How long before you come to Oz? I am in Queensland near K'Gari ( Fraser Island) a bit south of the great barrier reef, would love to meet you guys if you get this far down the coast. Keep up the great vids.
Thanks so much for the encouragement! Don't know that we will get that far south as we are moving much quicker through the rest of the Pacific to catch weather windows. You can check out our Patreon. You can get info about any upcoming events that we may have. Thanks for following our journey!
Hooray for the grape jelly😊 Oh yeah Hooray for the popcorn. Davis seems really happy about the popcorn. What a wonderful episode thank you for sharing the adventure and the beautiful smiles. Happy Anniversary
While not exactly the same, as an American who has lived abroad the past 13 years, I relate to wanting some American foods/brands/ restaurant chains. It’s comfort food as you said. As time goes by, however, it does get easier to accept. Plus, I go back to the US a couple times a year which helps.
Yes, it’s just comfort food. This is all so new and forge in for us (especially Davis) it’s so comforting to find something from home. Sadly, we don’t have it in our budget to dock the boat and fly home (except for an emergency) but saved points to fly our kids out here. We thought they would enjoy seeing new places but they are all busy enjoying college life. Hopefully, someone will visit us soon!
Thank you! Yes we do! Rob REALLY loves it but me not so much. I ruptured my left ear drum several years ago diving and have issues w it every time I go down. Davis is starting to study for his PADI certification this summer. Thanks for watching!
The stores have to import everything. Don't begrudge them their pricing. You chose to go abroad, so please make the most of it instead of saying we have lower prices. It's all give and take. Enjoy your adventures.
I don’t think they were complaining about the price they had to pay ! More just comparing and letting us arm chair sailors what it’s really like out there !
I apologize if it came off that I was complaining about the prices. We expected that and budgeted accordingly going in. Many have asked to show what typical grocery stores and prices look like so I was just sharing although, it’s still hard to pay 3x the price for something but we totally and willingly pay for it since it’s such work to get the items to these places. Thank you for your comment & watching!
@@SailingParadiseFalls No need to apologize! If any one should, it's me. I'm probably overly sensitive and a bit envious because I lost my husband to brain cancer recently and would love to be doing what you guys are with him. We loved lake boating but never had the nerve you both did to go big like that. I hope you all make and enjoy every memory you can together!
I am SO sorry for your loss! Losing my father and sister in their 40’s was a huge motivating factor for us to do this now as we are never guaranteed tomorrow. I hope our videos provide you will a little bit of joy and happiness😊 Huge hugs!
Yes, I e realized that and am working on learning better shooting techniques. Sorry to make you sick! I feel that way today too being our 4th day on passage.

They weren’t complaining, they were just stating what they were. It is interesting to hear these things as an arm chair sailor.

Slow down when panning on your videos. Makes me dizzy to watch and is blurry
