Thank you so much. Jamaica was beautiful and we had a great time!

About 40 years ago when our two sons were Davis‘s age, we took a big trip to the national parks out west. Instead of devices, they each had books which they were so totally into we had to almost force them to look out the windows. Finally got to the point where, when we mentioned the view, they would say ooh and aw, never even take their eyes off their book.

Welcome and thank you for spending your precious time following our travels!

We are becoming your biggest fans now. I guess leaving a comment on one of your videos tips us that way. We watch them as a family on Sunday mornings over coffee and it's our favorite thing. Something we discussed while watching today that I wanted to share: we love watching you ease into boat life because it's something we want to do in the next few years and wonder how hard it is, how do new people figure all this stuff out (with kid in tow too!). The magic you have going for you is bringing us along as you learn it all. Our favorite parts are watching you learn how to do the boat stuff (and less about the tourist stuff). Just feedback from one family. It's been awesome watching you try to fix things, failing, learning...understanding how long it takes to get stuff done, see how hard it was to hoist the sail...and even just docking in the marina! We were celebrating for you as you did it. 💪And Rob celebrating you was so sweet. ♥Also, just noticed you stated your budget of $4,300 a month in your video caption! AWESOME. It would be amazing to know how you're doing with that.

It’s not easy watching back harsh words or stress but I hope it allows others to see what it’s really like. We appreciate you following along!!

I enjoyed watching this. Portie is my Fav location on my island. My family been has been frequenting Portie since the 1970's. It is where we spend long weekends and holidays since I was a child and now where I take my family. It is relaxing, not too Touristy and lots of off the beaten path places to explore. There are certain experiences in life that you lock away for a rainy miserable day, experiences you will never forget and never want to forget because it warms your heart and take you to that happy place. Well my entire experience in Portland is filled with nothing but happy memories and I am happy you got to experience it. Safe Journeys and happy travels.

It is so good to see you enjoying my home country of Jamaica, and in one of the nicer parishes(our version of a state) Portland, specifically Port Antonio, aka Portie the capital. Knowing the foods are unfamiliar and takes some time to get used to, along with the cringe moments when Jamaicans hear you mispronounce, describe an item incorrectly, or eat it in a way we would find strange, yet with time you learn. The Jamaican motto is "Out of Many, One People", so while deeply rooted in African culture, it is a combination of many cultures and global influence. For example, the Jamaican apple originated from Malaysia and our left-handed style of driving was handed down through our British colonial past. We look forward to the next visit and more happy exploring, along with happy sailing.

It’s always good to know that we have brightened someone’s day! It’s a beautiful place!

Nxt time if u see those apples again, just wash it and bite into it skin on. However, depending on the ripeness of it, the skin will either be very sweet or a little bit sour. The darker the red, the sweeter it will be. The red can be just the typical red, or so dark it looks like burgundy, or like a purple-ish red. When this happens, you have to try get to them before the birds do, because they mostly only eat them when they hv a dark red skin because they are sweeter at that time.

So for Jamaica, the major importers are Japan and Germany vehicles. They do have American left side ignition vehicles,but i think you might have to request it in advance.

Really enjoyed the video. How well-behaved boats kids are. Its so good for them to have a real life and learn instead of learning form a teacher that also diid not have experience. The area you drive through is like some areas in Europe, although no palm trees there. but the small steep roads in villages, very much Luxembourg, the Ardennes and some French areas. You drink diet coke? oeff, you better drink real coke (or obviously something else) and look at the rest of your diet. diet coke is nothing less but extremely bad. all alternative to sugars effect your cognitive thinking. And as for losing weight? it does not work. Just my five cents. Hapy sailing

@SailingParadiseFalls

We have found boat kids are more mature for their age than land based kids. They are given hefty responsibilities earlier in life and are able to deal with change. Davis has a hard time with change, but it's slowly sinking in that plans change in a heartbeat when you are on the ocean. You have to adapt and move with the situation and the journey and end result may not be what you originally planned. For instance, Jamaica was not an intended destination, but more of a stop over for weather!

We shared your Awesome Video on the Facebook Group "KZread Sailing Channels" as many there have a very negative misplaced stereotype of our beloved Jamaica , to fight that we also started a playlist we promote here on KZread called "Sailing Jamaica for Cruisers" where we also shared your video for positive vibes ! Yes we know a bit about Jamaica as wife is from there and we have been many many times over 40 yrs + !! Diet Coke is very hard to find there ( reformed addict myself- very bad for you ! ) Ting is like USA "Squirt" - a full sugar grapefruit soda that is Yum ! especially w Jamaican overproof white rum ! Fair Winds , We Splash next Year ourselves - - - maybe we can catch up one day , but doubt it as we will be in a SLOW monohull ! lol , Fair Winds !@@SailingParadiseFalls

Although the word village is not used in Jamaica, small rural districts are villages by definition. They are not really wrong for calling them villages… it’s not a big deal

At least these folks could give a little credit on the country and give hope and less fear for future travelers. They went outside their bubble and explore. Sorry you guys had to drive on those terrible roads. Why Jamaica is still the slowest undeveloped country in the western hemisphere,everything falls back.to politicians😑

Ha!!! That’s funny! We saw several very lovely ladies walking down those mountain roads in heels on their way to church! They are rockstars! We had a great time in Jamaica and wish we had more time to explore😊

We were just surprised at the difference in roads. Not necessarily a bad thing. We enjoyed our time in Jamaica 😊

@madtrain556 you are correct! We do not know the depth of how corrupt the govt and political environment. For sure they truly do not represent the vast majority of awesome citizens we met while on the island. Sadly, there are even places in the mainland USA that have the same things going on corruption and bad public resources (roads, sewer, water) as well. All in All, Jamaica is a wonderful country full of beautiful people!

It's good to see you enjoyed your time in Jamaica. That apple needs to ripen a bit more.

That would have been helpful to know but we had no clue what it was supposed to taste like. I had to eat the others fast bc little mosquitoes loved them too!

@@SailingParadiseFalls I think you probably met the fruit flies. Next time wrap them in brown paper and allow them to ripen until they are dark purple. They will be sweeter. The mosquitos can be rather vicious in Jamaica.
