Look at y’all! You’re doing it❤❤ it’s so exciting 😊
If you get air in the gas line it can form an explosive mixture the other problem is fuel can liquify in the pipe and flare up…best be aware before you try ingnition that nothing is near or your over the jets. If you need a lighter get one of the long cooker piezo ignition types.
Hi if u come to Belize central America
Get some ginger biscuits – it will help settle the stomach
Enjoying your adventures…
Well done guys the first of many days to come.
Step learning curve but you will get there,safety Safety Safety.

Hi guys. Love the channel, follow Delos, Parlay etc, all expert sailors, so great to follow you guys learning. Refreshing. John 👍⚓️🇬🇧😎
I enjoy your videos and this was an interesting episode as it shone a light on some realities of life on a boat. I really hope that you overcome your seasickness and ideas that nothing can be done on passage as it will seriously curtail your enjoyment of the life that you have chosen. I am not sure when this was filmed (presumably Feb/March?) but I will be following in your wake later this month helping to take a new Beneteau Yacht from Les Sables down to Gibraltar. I await your ‘Orca’ updates 😊
No one has drowned! Yall doing great!
Great video guys. Enjoying your content.
The French people may not have been happy with you possibly breaking drone code rules .
smallest drones (below 250g), people should remember these basic rules: two of which are. Do not fly over people or too close to them, Do not use in a town or built-up area Getting harder to fly even the smallest drones thes days .
Enjoy the new life..

Enjoy mate

Green Apples help with Sea Sickness
While your learning the boat get him to make lunch!😃
You two are off to a great start!

Please invest in some good microphones; it is hard to hear you….
I enjoy your videos as you are trying to keep it real, and not just highlight the good thing. I think most of the people attempting this lifestyle don’t have such a nice boat and many of the conveniences, and although that might make it easier everyone making the lifestyle switch has an adventurous personality to give it a go. I would like to hear about your fears. Do you fear pirates or getting caught in dangerous weather? What things do you fear if any?
Love the video. Oh, how different you'll feel about your abilities 6 month from now. You guys are doing great! Thanks for taking us along.
I'd say your maiden voyage went reasonably well, despite the glitches. French castle spotting— beats road sign spotting!
I'm not making fun, but I heard half 6 o'clock. Is that 5:30 am or 6:30 am?
So good to see you guys enjoying France, Your videos showing both the good and the unfun bits are greatly educational. I hope you get a handle on your sea sickness soon. The boys are growing even over the short periods between videos. See you next episode 🙂
Brittany in my view is one of the place to know how to sail and understand and feel the reaction of the sailing boat. It is technical regarding navigation ie tides, rocks, ships , and the quick changing weather which means to be adaptable to all type of conditions. Enjoy your new Catamaran and new adventure and fair winds to all of you. Who know see you on the Mediterranean.
The swirly water with the strong currents are called eddy’s. They can be tricky.
Try Bonine. You have to start taking it the night before departure. Continue taking as directed for several days.
Hi guys all i can say is WOW you have mechanics, drone pilots, cooks, teachers and up and coming pro sailers on board. Interesting show and great editing. Love it. Anton from Cape Town.
Little tip: don't have your boat name on your tender because if a potential thief sees it tied to a dock, he knows they're a good chance that there isn't anyone aboard your boat
Another little tip with signs. Try using Descript to render subtitles on the sections they're needed. It's so easy. You cut the clip, it adds the subs and you save that clip and edit it back into the video.
Ripper episode.
Being seasick is the worst!
That was a fun one. The sea sickness will calm down, although you don't believe it now. Kwells travel sickness tablets work very well. I don't know if you can get them in France? Thanks Guys.
Good bye Patrick Star ⭐….
Ya gotta learn somewhere – just take it easy, you'll soon pick it up. As for the seasickness, hopefully that will go with time too.
Great episode you are all doing so well, there’s never a dull moment on a boat 😂, hope the sea sickness settles down.
We’ll be doing the same sail plan in June looking forward to exploring the French coast and islands. Is your tender a CL310? or CL340 with the FCT steering module. We are looking at buying the same, did it fit on the davits okay and also did you buy it in France? Thanks 😊
You guys are doing so well. What was the issue with the dinghy motor? Also, great to see Julian, he did our sea trials on our Aura 51, Absolutely, last May on our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We were able to move on the boat that night, and left for the BVI (via the Canaries and St Martin) 2 days later. Keep at it, I think your motion sickness will subside over time.
What a change y'all have made. There is a lot to learn and the best way is to just dive in and do it. Make mistakes, Life might be a harsh ore even cruel teacher but until you do something and not have it go according to plan you will find it hard to learn. To gain experience you need to actually encounter things and overcome them. There will be bad days but the good ones should be more prevalent. I wish you luck on your journey, and what are your plans. You going to spend a year or 2 in the Med, or are you just going to pass through? Either way Fair winds and following seas.
What a nice life. Thanks for sharing ⚓️✌️
