Hello from Cincy! Happy birthday Mr. Sully! Be safe guys!

I never get enough of you guys videos. I have a solution. I'll just come live with you on Freedom! :-)

How many times have you just sat back and said to yourselves "Man we are blessed". I mean really, I've retired and every 2 or 3 days I stop and say that....it's amazing we are able to finally enjoy or lives, together, and in these wonderful places.

Literally every day if not many times per day! Especially since we’re living a life we always joked about but never really thought would be a possibility for us, and we know far too many people who waited to do this but got ill and/or passed away before actually putting things into action 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

You two are living the dream, as they say! You had a plan, took calculated risks moving cross country and put in the work preparing for the next phase, then started the experience. I admire you both. I wish you well for all of your adventures. Enjoy!

When I go on cruises and go ashore I always take a lite weight backpack. I always find its easier to throw wine, water and other things I've purchased into it, instead of having to carry it LOL You guys rock and I love to watch the adventures as you continue to trek onward through the northwest.

Years ago, working for a local pleasure boat Mfg., every summer we took over the entire Rosario Resort for ten days for our annual dealer meeting. Never got tired of that beautiful place.

I wonder how they really feel about “Ole Oprah”. She sold and got out of there “PFQ”! Brilliant! Cheers mates!!

Your videos are amazing...its been my dream for 20 plus years......thank you

In your previous video you stopped and had ice cream. When we visit your area we have a few favourites. Sirens Gelato in Fairhaven, a short walk from the water. Hands down gelato over ice cream any day😋. Other must visit sites , but not near the water, Maltby cafe on Maltby rd for breakfast, incredible! And Snoqualmie Scoopshop, best tiger tail I have ever had. So many destinations, so little time! As always, have a great week.

Awesome Video! As always, the videos inspire us to try to do better. We always look forward to our Sunday morning video with coffee. Happy cruising. We look forward to sharing an anchorage with you! Jim and Rosy

Very envious. I spent many weeks at Rosario area. My folks lived there for over 16 years and my Dad was Inside Mgr at the resort. They are now both committed to the sea, right there in East Sound. Our good family friend once owned Rosario. If you look up on the top of the hill to the East of the resort you will see their house - the one on the left of the 3 up there. I often wanted to do what your doing but moved to cali instead. I kept the feeling by reading journals (b4 internet) of folks that did full time boating in the SJ's. If you haven't done it; be sure to visit the Nordic museum in Ballard. My mother in law was instrumental in that venture. You could likely walk from you boat. When we visit next April (tulip festival) I am going to try to look you all up in Elliott Bay; if you are not off to a big cruise.

glfor1 how cool, working at a place like that in a location like that sounds like a great gig. And yes, look us up when you come to the area 👍

I'm glad you rebuild your watermaker (I had been worried about that for a while now) ever since you change the filters and it wasn't working properly (I was thinking it might have been the thru-hull )

Thanks guys for TB mountain and all.

Thank you very much for the excellent presentation, as always. We are really enjoying the tips on operation and maintenance. The Q and A is brilliant because as Nordhavn wanna-be's, the information you provide is very helpful to us. Thank you and safe travels.

Nice to see all the places there. Fun to watch. Love Mr Sully! Thanks for sharing.

I loved Rosario Resort when I visited. If I recall correctly, the resort was built by shipwrights and the craftsmanship was incredible .. massive doors with hand forged hinges that self closed and an impressive pipe organ in the great room. Also had it's own powerplant on site that provided DC power to the buildings, one of the first in the region. Loved that place! I'm a Milwaukee native, now living in Denver and I love your channel. Stay safe!

Love where you're taking us on your adventures. So beautiful up there. When you're heading back, show us how you sail your boat back to Seattle. Love to see Freedom in action.

Thanks for doing the videos. Enjoy watching the awesome boat in the beautiful northwest.

Great video. We passed you and Sully walking on DH road. It’s funny that you brought up the oyster cart at Rosario... they only did that one summer and that was SO MUCH FUN! We have also done Rosario during the off-season and watched some great football games in the lounge... highly recommend when the open back up!

You guys are doing such a great job with your videos. I do like when Shawn does boat repairs or upgrades on stuff. I joined your channel about 2 months ago, and haven't caught up with all your previous episodes. In your intro I see boat dog #1 Sandy. I haven't seen any episodes with Sandy.

Great video. I love how Shawn takes apart boat systems all the time. I am the same way with my boat and my friends all think I am crazy. I tell folks, if you really want to own a boat, you have to enjoy doing that kind of thing. I think a lot of folks have a hard time understanding that. Did you figure out the drop out in the water maker production, i.e. when the ball was flipping to zero from 6+? You must be happy with your extra water production!

@mvfreedom

Andre Schimmelbusch yes owning a boat is mostly work and not as much play as most non boaters think. If you’re not technical, you better be ok opening up the pocket book to hire expensive mechanics. And no, we didn’t figure out the ball drop yet but it’ll be fun next New Year’s Eve 😉

Great, as usual. Love the Q&A at the end. I always wonder about comfort in that boat in really cold weather and really hot weather. Where you are located I suspect air conditioning is much less of a concern than heat, but how do you think she would do in Florida or the Caribean? Is the air conditioning system robust? I know there have been many Nordhavn owners who spend lots of time in hot weather, but I would love to hear what you say about that issue. Love your vibe, your videos, and I think you are both a great example of the freedom you can have in this country when you work hard and earn it. Thank you both!

Great question! We have both heat and AC, hardly use either, but will share more in our next video!

Awesome video. Loved the q & a. Also the N40/43/47 question was interesting. If you went cruising with 2 young kids, like the Palmers. What would you say is the smallest Nordy you could get away with. The N55 would be out of our price range. Would you say you could make a 43/47 work? Do you ever have guests on your 43 and how does the space work for you then? Trevor, Australia

@mvfreedom

4 жыл бұрын

The N43 is great with another couple on board and could work well with one child. The interior is SO similar in size between the 43/47 that both might not work for two kids unless they’re very young and are OK sharing the guest cabin. But it certainly wouldn’t work for 2 older kids.

No way, your dog has a mr Rodgers sweater, thats so cool

You have been living full time on Freedom for a while now. What are some things you would do differently or wish you had known in hindsight? The Nordhavn is such a fantastic vessel and my 2003 Boston Whaler 15’ 150 Sport pales in comparison even though still all original, looks and runs new still. Maybe it is biiiiiggg upgrade time 🤔.

Have a huge store Refuge Cove, all the places we used to visit Pendrell Sund, Predeau Haven, lots of oysters there or used to be, Snug Cove , I might not be spelling the names right been years since we were there, lots of little bays to stay over night !!
