Hi we are the patn and we’ve started our dream of living on a sailboat we’ve made it to Lara shell minus one family member and moved on board in this video we get used to the boat and life in a different country before James arrives ready for
Us to get going please like And subscribe and leave us a comment below if you like this Video I have arrived on the boat you know it’s chaos and I feel completely underprepared I have no idea how this boat runs um when I got here I saw ROMs um who has been just so kind and fabulous he’s filled the boat up with water and I just
I just don’t know what any of the buttons do and what I’m supposed to be watching so I have a lot to learn they I think the guys will be here most days trying to sort of finish setting up um so I’ll just ask them questions as I go I bought
Bananas apparently you’re not allowed bananas on a boat apparently it’s bad luck I don’t believe in bad luck we’ll see but I’ve had some of the boxes arrive I just I just felt like oh my God what am I doing I’m assuming every day will get better today I was
Tired all right I’ve sat down for too long I finished doing what I was doing good night George what are you hoping to find in here my bed sheets or my Xbox I don’t think the Xbox one is here yet oh it looks Promising yes bed sheets yeah what have we got bed sheets bags and Camera gave by the looks of it I just like the bed sheet it’s awesome so the only thing that the kids care about is the internet of course and we sent over our star link for
RV however I just noticed that the box is damaged so let’s see don’t think you can see there like a star the leg of a star link wow so we sent over a total of seven boxes just like this this set a size these for us to ship here from
Australia um worked out to be about $200 each so it was much cheaper to do this than it was to um do like a big container or even a small container the box is just ruled we sent over Melamine plates cuz we couldn’t find any melamine here on our last
Trip something from Country Road in Australia is really nice they look fine damn it oh that sucks all right one casualty oh second casualty lemonator that’s fine that’s fine no problem bar mix is good we don’t care about that we only care about the styling right please be
Okay bowls are good Doo like labeler Tommy it’s okay yay yay it’s a bit dirty yes let’s get the kids some internet oh no one bowl and one laminator broke that’s fine what are you doing with that this is is he working I don’t know yet I’ve
Got to go set it up you want to help yes I’ll help if it means internet hey Mom once we do get the internet yeah are we I feel like you’re going to ask for something yeah we are actually I’ll wait till Harry so then this plugs into that big box
There and then oh look it looks like a Mickey Mouse that’s what my laptop does too so this will be like temporary right okay hold on you go down okay yep this goes in here oh no what look I said it didn’t get damaged in the transit but that got damaged
No do you know what I could do what is I could check with ROMs or shy to see if if Sparky can fix that all right sorry no Styling te okay okay y yes yes see the problem yes I see the problem you understood the issue yeah the lines will catch here the the reefing lines may catch at the back yes small chance because look there is a big gap yeah it’s if you really left all the reof out
Okay okay yeah I think TTD will be better yes for this boat yes okay for this specific boat and maybe here it is that box and what are we hoping is in that box Xbox XX we can do our party tonight okay I’m just going to move these off
That like it yes we can play our party tonight oh yes good morning it’s um the morning after our second night on board I’ve had a really good night sleep um even though I was up late and the kids got me up early but I still feel
Well rested we got the um uh optional like mattress topper on our bed cuz last time we came and stayed it was really really hard the mattresses they put on the bed so we got the mattress topper and it’s really good but today I am returning the car
Um I got to go and try and sort out my mobile again we spent hours there last night we tried yesterday we’ve tried today and now we’re going to try again tomorrow oh hopefully we’ll get it order today the only issue is because I don’t have um evidence of my address in France
It’s really hard to set up um a bank account it’s also really hard to set up a mobile phone so there is an orange store which about a 15minute drive from the marina at lell so while I’ve had the car I’ve been going back and forth um to that area
Where they have um a whole heap of other shops as well so today I’m getting ROMs to come and help me we should be able to hopefully get my phone sorted um because my home um SIM card should cancel today uh we set up the starlink last night and that
Works I go to the bakery get a Quant I got a start the kids schooling stuff again and I’ve got to just catch up on work I haven’t been able to get any work done for about a week so James has been doing everything and I’m so
Sorry and thank you for doing that James um but now I jump back in and help with business I’m actually pretty excited about this this is my washing machine on board a lot of people don’t have a washing machine on board so this is pretty exciting first load
In let’s I just have this feeling it’s going to leak everywhere but it won’t people my age will understand that having a washing machine on board is pretty cool just found another issue with one of our boxes I’ve just unpacked started unpacking some of our
Games I do like to keep like I’ve pulled to save space I’ve pulled most of our games out of their boxes and just put them in these like Ziploc um bags kids used to use these um for school so I just bought a whole bunch um and at home they were great
Like we can see what’s in there um that works really well for us but I did send some boxes and it looks like the bottom of this box may have got wet at some point and the bottom of this box here is just damaged and you can see like actually
Where all the water was so I’m going to have to throw this one out and transfer it to a bag but the actual board game yeah I think it’ll be all right it’s fine not too bad the other boxes are fine yeah definitely got some water to
It so yeah this is the last I think of the boxes that’s come over we love board games so um there’s heaps in here and that’ll keep us amused Harry and I just played a game of this is one of our favorites at the moment taco cat goat cheese pizza really fun love
It it’s so pretty so I’m trying my best to do some of the boat stuff that needs to be done before James gets here one of them is adding all of our lights and our tethers to our black jackets so these are the ones that inflate themselves which is
Pretty cool so if someone Falls into the water they just open up but they don’t come with the light so I’ve just got to open these and add the light on here just really easy to clip on just like that and then the he so when we’re out sailing these
Attach to the life jacket and then we can attach them to the boat so if you come on board we’ll have these for you that’s it it’s ready to go in the locker we’ve got eight of these self inflatable water activated um life vests and then we’ve also
Got this style of life jacket for when we go on the tender or if we’re doing water sports got 12 life jackets there you go Mom I’m safe 12 life jackets for four people we’ve got to make sure we wear them it is a beautiful rainy afternoon Harry and I have just
Had a lovely snooze and now I’m going to make Harry’s favorite which is spaghetti bnes are you excited about that Harry definitely so I’m on the boat and I think we’ve got our first unusual noise so I don’t know if you can hear it so the water’s only at 5% so
Hopefully it’s just that I haven’t broken anything this is like usually where the water runs out but it’s just not it’s just making that noise see the the machine that says whale on it is kind of running what side are you on I’m on port side more through they’re tapped oh it
Stopped fixed it I have no idea what was wrong but it’s quiet now I ran some water um through the Taps I checked this thing here there was nothing sort of stuck in there I could see the water running through the pipes um the water was running out the boat on the
Outside um then I switched off the tap and everything is fine everything is fine so yeah no idea all good I fixed stuff you know it’s just what I do it’s been a really good opportunity to come to lell with the kids and get them settled and happy I’m slowly
Getting to know the boat while we’re in the marina but we are ready for James to hurry up and get here now off to language school this morning kids and I are racing because we’re late I thought it was a 4minute walk it was a 4-minute drive so we’re about 5 minutes late
Okay Cat s she set Prett fun I can count to 29 so we got ourselves a little car shk wet vacuum I’ve never used one of these before but I’m surprised by how quickly our bill had some um water in it and this little caser filled up so quickly but um such a
Handy handy tool love it so the one thing I was worried about when it comes to sailing was Boat Works so there’s water in the bues so I have used our wet V to remove the water so I managed to get four bucket loads we don’t know what it was everything seems
To be fine down there it’s probably been sat there for a while um so I just keep checking on it make sure it’s okay where the water’s been set for so long there’s been a bit of mold so I have wiped out all of them on the starboard
Side um we’ve also got mold in on one of the bags in the four Peak so I’m going to it’s actually Sunny now but that can change really quickly so I need a really good hot sunny day where I can clean that bag and get it back into the four
Peck um I’m getting more familiar with the boat um and what needs to be done I’ve still got about half a day um to go over the boat um with shy I’m going to go through the engine rooms and the out side lockers so once that’s done I should
Know where everything is and what to do I just don’t love this part of it I really thought that like when you have a holiday on a boat you go and you explore and you have fun this is like maintaining a house but double it
Because you just have to be on top of everything I just want to go explore and have some fun guys it’s snowing no way quick get to the bus stop I think technically it’s ha but it looks like look at that m i c a
Bit this is real snow I was saying to my teacher cuz we were learning the weather um she asked if I likeed snow or not and I said I haven’t seen SN she was like BL and then I said I come from Australia so it’s snowing will the bus come if it’s snowing
Yeah I need gloves what are you trying to make now A Snowman Hur can you go over to that one and get some just very carefully just be careful yeah guys should we call Dad yeah on there yeah we going to make we’re making a mini snowman I mean
Feel Y no Mom we made his duck okay you ready I’m going to attach the head okay Mr snowman well done hey I wa you got me yeah get Mom we are in lell and by we I mean myself George and Harry uh James is still in Australia
While he finishes um closing up some business stuff and getting himself ready I’m just talking about you and uh getting ready come out here to meet us as well we just bolted to be here to catch the train coming in we’ve seen it come in but didn’t quite catch it that’s all
Right I told the kids that I needed to get some footage of the train coming into the station so we were racing down there they were unaware that this was a train that James was coming home on and I couldn’t wait to see him and surprise
The kids I might have to get it like leaving hey at least you got some at least we got some do you want to stay there and I get a picture cheese excuse me oh something I knew you did yeah hey what wow that was that was so big are you

Love the show because it is so real, keep it that way.
I’m so excited for you guys, can’t wait to see your adventures. Kids picked up French quickly!
Starlink and the games are good to have aboard, but now that the BBQ's working you're ready to rock n' roll.
Hi guys, chuffed your all back together, James looked nackered after his journey, boys faces were a picture when dad got back!!, see you at the next one, be safe guys x
Very exciting guys! Looking forward to seeing you guys set off on the grand adventure!
Hint for James – when rolling canvas stand inside and roll, that way, should it still be rolled and it starts raining it won't gather the rain.
Loved your candor about your moving in and getting settled. Indeed you are all on a "learning curve" with your new Boat ⛵ Home. Have an enjoyable time on your new journey and thanks for taking us along.
From the Chesapeake Bay Area of East Coast of the US.
I’m a life-long boater and still share the same feeling of excitement that I see on your faces every time you step on board. Bon Voyage!
Excellent job telling your story. Thanks for bringing us along!
The boat and banana thing stems from olden days in food transportation. Because bananas spoils the other fruit. Ie they ripen the other fruit too quick.
So became a bad omen
❤ just brilliant
Ah!!!! I’ve been hunting high and low for a Webber baby Q boat mount.
Please tell me what your one is? Or maybe it’s bespoke stainless? TIA
I am loving watching your this amazing journy. Take care 🙂
Fabulous footage, had a tear as James arrived and you were al together. Enjoy your journey 😀💕
Happy to see you’re all together again
The way that box was packed it’s surprising anything survived
You will learn what to do in no time, from Louisiana 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Urghhhh. On the bed sheets. That was my first thought as you unpacked the boxes 😮😮😮😮😮. That said, the whole episode was just real life and so good because it was so real. It would be great if you could give us all an idea of your itinerary and plans going forward – I mean you are all a long way from home.
OMG George and Harry's faces when they saw James 💕🤗
You all look soooo happy!
❤ from 🇨🇦 BC
I love watching people who have a different lifestyle and have the fortitude to try something new. Your boys are too cute! Good luck as you push forward on your new adventure!
Rich entitled whingers!
My favorite new sailing channel!! Great job! Love watching the adventure unfold.
Audio is horrible! Sounds like you’re talking in a cardboard box. Voiceovers are fine. Please fix! Very important
Another awesome vid. your honest story telling is great. Had a happy tear at the reunion with James. This format is amazing dont change a thing 🙂
As someone in the market for a new occupation, I'm wondering what y'all do to be able to afford such a nice, brand-new boat…..?
Bananas on a boat stemmed from the old trade wind sailing days, where passages were months long. They loaded up the holds with bananas as healthy option for the crew. But as the stacks of bananas slowly rotted, they emitted deadly gasses that concentrated low in the boat, where crew often slept particularly in bad weather. Many sailors died of gas poisoning. A bunch of 5-10 bananas isn't going to harm you, but if you had a couple hundred rotten bananas it's not hard to imagine how ill you'd feel.
What an amazing video harry and I looked so surprised 😂
How exciting. Enjoying the content. Cheers
Internal packing for each items vital to package survival.. they damage each other more times than damage to the outer.
Good luck with everything.
that was AWESOME timing with James in the background surprising the boys! "Lets get a picture"! Great to see you all back together again.
Boats mean you do repairs in exotic locations. The sea is a harsh environment and boats are constantly moving, shaking all the wires, pipes, etc. That means a never ending list of repairs. If you don't embrace that, then this isn't the life for you.
You are doing so well. Try not to get overwhelmed and you will be fine.. first I heard of the bananas being bad luck.
OMG! Love the authenticity of this so much! Had a tear when James surprised the boys! ❤ can’t wait to watch more!
