you two are great

Well it's a bit late but I'm binging your vids during 2nd lockdown and I'm enjoying all the repair/sailing/prep stuff ! You guys have a very nice balance between visiting/enjoying life and technical/repair stuff that most of channels lack ! Keep up the stoke ❤️

After several sleepless nights aboard our Balboa in a choppy bay, I got home and priced 'rocker stoppers', I almost dropped my cold beer at the prices. So I sewed up two canvas 'funnels', about 18" wide by 18" deep, tied a 'three hole brick' to the bottom and added a four strand bridle to the top, I glued and whipped four ten inch lengths of curved rubber hose between each bridle line to help it stay open and dropped each one amidship to about six feet. They would open on rise and collapse on drop, they made a big difference on my 26 foot craft, and I suppose you could scale them up for larger boats, or even go for four units. Big benefit was their ability to fold flat for stowage...

F - the budget o_~ She is an absolute joy to have, and she's also beautiful. Adam you struck gold with her.

Thumbs up for the sailing tip regarding balancing the boat. As someone who's never been on a sailboat and very interested in the idea these things are the most valuable.

I think the little hatchet 🪓 looked the best of all the utensils 🍴 you distracted Khiara With at K-Mart at the end, Adam... never know WHEN you might need that and IF it worked out, You could give it a name & title Too 😎👍✅

I have watched at least twenty of your videos over the last few days, you have gotten so much better at making entertaining content. After finishing ep 47, your “our story” video auto played, which filled in the story gaps for me. You guys are inspiring young people all over the world to be adventurous. Can’t wait to see where your adventure takes us next!!

I love the little sailing lessons, I also liked the time you explained how the stuffing box works. Dont be afraid to teach about every part of the boat. Those of us just starting out love the lessons

Love it! Couldnt stop laughing at the final credit video!!!!

you two are to funny Kira has a infection laugh and smile and admen is the comedy relief in the back grown . can't wait to see what happens next.

When ever you post, I smile. Thanks 😎

I loved the 'pop quiz' question about sail configuration and wind. The explanation was great for a newb like me. Recently found your series and am enjoying watching from the beginning. Thank you!

Good vibes are not so easy to achieve and maintain, you look very good from here and it looks like you are both enjoying it too. I really like the feeling of simple truthfulness I get watching your videos. All the best to the two of you and thanks for sharing in such a nice way!

Adam's Mr. Mellow take it all in stride and crack a few jokes along the way. Khiara is this sparky goddess that doesn't ruffle his feathers even in a tizzy so the best way to handle the situation is have a laugh at the challenges. Some kind of perfect balance at play here. No matter what Milly may require of them she's so loved she gets by with it no prob. Put all this in Nature's embrace and it all just amounts to a lot of salty love. Highest Blessings

Adam, i fully agree with you about tonic water... mineral water, too... just yuck... i mean... whoa... definitely not what you want when you expect actual regular water 🙀😾🐱 edit: adding that i'm binge watching all your videos... started with the first one the other day and attempting to do 30 or so each day... i roughly figured if they were all 20 minutes long, at 3 an hour with 12 hours binge a day, i should be able to cover 36 in a session... today i'm shooting to reach #72 by the album (??) counter... so far so good 😹

Great video guys, you two work well together. Don't you love how lack of sleep brings out the best in all of us.

Good tour of Guadaleloupe. We watch “Death in a Paradise” just to see the Guadeloupe scenery. On our bucket list of cruising destinations!

Whoa rockin rolling riding all a long the bay - your videos are music to my ears 🎼🎹🎷 Another brilliant and entertaining video x

As an aviator and a seaman I always enjoy Adams aviation references, ie, nose and tail, headwind and tailwind etc.. I do that too....

Another awesome video! You two are hilarious - love it!

great videos! Keep them coming !!!

Did you ever learn how to do a "swell bridle"? If so, has it made the rough anchorages any better? If not, you should look into an "anchor riding sail." Sailrite sells a sew it yourself kit so you can make your own anchor riding sail. I've also hear that the "FinDelta Anchoring Sail" is pretty awesome. You should look into one if you are still having rough anchorages. BTW - I love your videos! You guys are living out my dream! If I could only get my wife onboard!

as always classic so much fun sharing your adventure

Hi Adam, Seeing what you have done with the work on your boat I am sure that you are capable of giving your reel a service. Have to say I am hooked on watching your video's. Safe fun travels.

A water maker is great, but once you install a Diesel maker you'll be the Albatross of the sea and never have to pull into expensive fuel docks again!...

12:48 I really like that heelomometer you have there, much better than a bubble.

Love you guys great to watch again!

have a look for the Magma flopper stopper - if you want the dimensions please give me a yell - cheers

As you have said nothing about replacing the anchor winch, what would you like? Assuming what you have freewheels, have you considered making up a long rope loop to go over the capstan side to save your hands from the chain? Also, FWIW, picking up a smattering of the local languages makes the experience much more interesting IMHO.

Learn how to set up a swell bridle, it'll cure what ails you in a rolly anchorage.

Hey guys, a well rigged flopper stopper can work wonders. I know they’re kind of a hassle to rig up but certainly less work than rolling out in the dinghy in the middle of the night😂🤣. I’m glad to see Kiara got some good sunglasses and a leash. Fairwinds

Flopper stopper sounds like a flat tire on a pair of (Aussie) thongs. :D

You can get a pretty effective antiroll setup with a good sized drogue or sea anchor. Pole it out from the mast on a halyard and weight it so it sits vertically. Check out Seabrake's website for a better explanation. We picked one up as emergency steering for NZ offshore certification, but use it often for a good nights sleep!

I've noticed you have a ships clock and barometer. I've never heard any bells announcing the time nor have I heard you figure the weather by reading your barometer. Both are great to have on a boat I think and a lesson on how to use them would be great.

@SailingMillennialFalcon

We don’t have bells on the clock (thankfully as that might bug me.. I’m the kind of person who hears a clock tick from 3 rooms away and have to stuff something around it to block the noise!) The barometer is actually broken, it worked when we bought the boat but the face fell off and after that it just stays at 1010. We’ve attempted to fix it a few times but to no avail, a new one is on the list of things to buy... in the meantime, in true millennial fashion, we have a barometer app on our phone 😂 yes, even I’m embarrassed to admit that.

@@SailingMillennialFalcon After 22 years in the Navy, I got to where I could near the bells all night and know when my watch came up. Like if I had midshift )12 I had to be near my station by 11:30 so hearing 6 bells meant time to get up. Not sure how the brain figured out I hadn't heard the first 4 rings but it got to the point where my internal clock knew somehow. To bad about the barometer. I'm guessing it also has a thermometer in it that still works. Those things are a common sight in thrift stores. You don't want to pay premium prices like the tourist so all you can do is wait for one to cross your path like your doing. I didn't know phones had pressure sensors in them. I knew they had direction but thought they got temp and pressure from the internet.

Have you ever though of hanging a 5 gallon bucket off the port and starboard side to act like anti-roll devices when you are at anchor. We used to do it all the time when fishing.
