    I subscribe to 120 UA-cam channels. This is #1 for many reasons. The quality surpasses everybody else. The balance in the story, narration, clarity. Obviously, a lot of thought of thought goes into each video.

    PLEASE DO MORE of these types of full discovery channel-type pieces. You are really really good at it. It's cool watching your videos of you and Shawn, However - when you take the time to describe Heritage, Animals, and other important elements in our world - along with your cinematography - You are really strong. Please do more!

    This is wild for me to be watching right now. Just came home from what seems to be an identical trip. We stayed at the same Marriot, saw the same sites and swam with the rays. We feel much like you do, there is something magical about Hawaii, and especially the big island. Love all your videos, but this one certainly felt special for me.

    We just returned from Kauai late last night and this was waiting for us. We have been going to the islands for about 20 years now pretty much every year, with a break during the COVID shutdown. We've done Mexico and the Bahamas however we keep coming back here. The islands are all different. The big Island with it's volcano and the diverse differences between the wet side and the dry is amazing. Oahu with it's big city feel and Maui that has changed alot from an agricultural paradise to vacation land. And then Kauai where they roll up the streets at 9 o'clock every night. The Garden Isle is our style, quiet and laid back. Glad you found out for yourselves!

Over 10 years we sailed our 50' catamaran from England to New Zealand. We missed having dogs so we finally bought land on this island and built our home. But for many reason we will be leaving and moving to Canada. If you have the time we'd love to meet you in person, you're welcome to spend the night if you like, we have a guest room!!!

    I won’t invade their privacy by sharing their boat location: suffice it to say, I came across their location by accident. As best I can tell, they haven’t done much cruising for several months. I could be completely wrong, my knowledge comes from checking for MV Freedom while I’m doing my thing. Hope all is well, look forward to seeing new adventures. 😎🇺🇸

    Life is good , or as good as you can make it. Kona is our go to for sure. We dove with Jacks on our honeymoon . Night dives are scary to think about and exciting to do. 35 feet deep with 10 boats and 80 divers was amazing . We had 9 rays come in and the biggest one was 12 feet across 1000 lbs ! Funny thing today is we are sitting at home planning our trip this summer to Hornsby and Desolation sound on our MacGregor. Thanks for bringing back all of these memories as your videos are the ones we enjoy the most. So tasteful and perfect music to sooth my concussion brain and tinnitus. Peace on earth and ocean Aloha and Mahalo
