“As long as we have health, we have hope. And the world keeps spinning.” Well said sir. Well said.

Her loss. Give her the iconic ‘mirror wave’ and steady as you go. Appreciate your content.

Nick, the pain and sadness that washed across your face when you told us the news was moving. Remember to take what pleasures and comforts you can out there. Lord knows that a half million or so loyal disciples of the Adventures of the Smuggler's Blues and her Intrepid Skipper are all wishing you both health and happiness. Tempus Fugit, my friend. Time and Tide, and all that. Time to get on with things as best we can. That being that, if you'd like an anonymous and well-meaning ear to vent towards, mine is on offer.

Thanks for the details in the video. I hope the time out of water goes well. I feel for you and marrianne. My wife and I loved seeing you two interact. I could see the pain in you face as you talked about her . My wife and I have chosen to live separate lives as well for the past year. We were both saddened by the news when marrianne brought it up on her you tube channel. We were both sad when she stopped her channel and I hope you will be able to carry on with yours. My wife and I still love each other but can't seem to live with each other. We still spend time together as well. I hope you and marrianne can find what brought you to togerther just as I hope for the same thing. I can't wait to see you and smugglers again or any other walk abouts etc

Nick I’ve been watching your videos for years. You’ve given so much to this channel. I’m sure everybody is here for you in your time of need. You’re a true gentleman and i wish you all the best. Thank you for all of the amazing videos.

What can you say, it's obvious that you are still in pain over the separation and I hope it gets better for you. On a happier note it is nice to see Smugglers out for a freshen up and looking forward to the relaunch. Thanks for the up date Nick and all the best for the future.

I was a boat hater until, late one night after work I watched a yacht tour of yours on some late night infomercial channel. At first, I thought that the show was kind of dump. Well, until I listened to how passionate you were when discussing the tour. This had to have been 5 years ago, and ever since I've been a fan. I truly appreciate the tours and joy you've given me over the years. It hurts to hear that you're going through turmoil. Still, you're grinding and giving us more content. I know others have said this but I really appreciate what you do for us and I love your videos. These videos give us joy even in difficult times. Thank you, Sir.

Sorry to hear of your personal situation Nick. I found your channel by pure accident in the early days of the COVID era and you have been my Friday night "date" ever since! I credit you hugely for keeping me going and giving me something to look forward to during those times. Your enthusiasm for your hobby is infectious and behalf of all your subscribers, thank you for everything you do. We are all here for you my friend.

Regardless what happens, your Aquaholic family will be here for you Nick. I wish you the best.

Nick, we had noticed the absence and thank you for opening up and sharing. Stay strong and enjoy that wonderful boat.

Sad news, I hope you will both be happy in your respective futures.

As a 62 yr old going through a similar divorce, one where you grow apart and decide to live separately, I can say that it gets better. It may take a while, but you'll both be better off in the long run.

Always sad when relationships end. I find it strange that you show us all the nice boats BUT its still you out on Smuggler`s I enjoy the most. take care

Thanks Nick.

Thanks for the share Nick.

Apart from your knowledge and obvious passion for all things aquatic……. extending to cars, caravans and motorhomes……… your advantage is the “first person” warmth in all your tours…… you are taking me for a tour, in a largely unedited meander, such that I could find my own way around, something absent in a lot of other tours…….. This personal approach must have made it all the more difficult to share your sad news……. I think you know that you have a huge amount of support from us, that feel we know you personally and wish you all the best as you cruise gently into new and uncharted waters……… 🎉😊😊

Here’s to brighter days ahead for both you and Marianne as you navigate through this transition. May this change bring you both the happiness and peace you deserve. Remember, every ending is a chance for a new beginning. Wishing you strength, growth, and joyful days ahead.

Sad news indeed. Above all else make sure to take care of yourself, regardless of what all happens. Mental health included in that bit of advice. Ignore any stigma (not sure if its as bad as here in the States, but...) and seek counseling if it seems like you need it. Above all, we're looking forward to more of what you do so we can live vicariously through your tours. And enjoy your boat!

I agree Nick. I’ve seen a haul out many times. Still interesting. I was curious where Marianne was, but didn’t want to intrude. Thanks for sharing.
