    A few years back a couple fell off a cliff while not paying attention trying to get a selfie. They left 2 children standing at the top of the cliff. Selfies are cool...not falling off a cliff or ladder the height of a cliff is better lol.
    Have fun and be safe.

    Hi Jackson and Xanthe - I watched you guys sail in to Pittwater on Saturday - was up Barrenjoey Lighthouse standing near your friends and family
    Was great to see 'Finding Avalon' in the flesh - and you both looked pretty exited to have finally 'Found Avalon'
    Welcome Home - I really do hope that there will be more adventures for you both to experience (and for us to watch via your UA-cam channel, of course)
    All the very best with your future endeavours and adventures

    G'day Xanthe and Jackson,the island seems quite quaint,from the proper limestone caves,to the fresh water ponds.The weather definitely leaves a lot to be desired though,but not restricting you completely.Can't sell you boat yet,it needs to find it's namesake in Sydney first don't you think?
    All the best as you keep adventuring,looks like you got Suzie fixed Jackson 👍

    Please please don’t do the lean back on the rope trick any more! I am old. Old people in general just want the young people to have a nice time and see them having fun. As a pharmacist I have helped many get over a bump in the road. It’s best to go around problems, just avoid them. I understand that things like riding a motor bike can be dangerous but fun. Pick your excitements with a grain of salt. Much love!

    • @evanmorrow1234
      @evanmorrow1234 4 роки тому

      Riding motorcycles around Washington State has gotten significantly more dangerous than it was 20 years ago primarily for 4 reasons. More automobiles, poorer drivers, deteriorating roads, and a state government that is unwilling or unable to do anything about it.
