1. On AC, also check temp on water pump. If it gets over 120 degrees, the cooling tube around the motor is clogged and it will need to be opened up and cleaned out…. ask me how I know this.😮

2. Nice video-keep them coming! What percent sun blocking did you choose for the exterior sun shades?

3. You shouldn’t feel like a bad parent. You’re providing more than some parents and less than others.

4. Your patience is amazing wow!!! Just watching you guys gives me anxiety. you guys are amazing.

5. I grew up overseas. When I went to uni, depending on length of break, either flew home to my parents, or went to what was to become my second family (of my bestie in uni). Your older children can always fly to where you are just as overseas students do all the time. It will be okay.

6. The Moorings – What a joke!! Glad you are finding and overhauling as you prepare for your ocean voyages, you are so patient and methodical, hey great sewing job 👍👍you saved some coin there $$$. We are really enjoying your episodes as your prepare for the journey of a life time, as always be safe and take care until next time – God Bless America 🇺🇸

7. I think it’s great when Davis films and narrates!

8. This video made me never want to own a boat. LOL

9. We had the same experience with the Acuva 2.0. We installed 2 of them and they both stopped working. We finally decided they were so unreliable that we didn't want to risk it breaking when we were away from the US. We have some friends who have had good luck with the more expensive versions so I'm beginning to think the 2.0 version is bad. Hope you get a good replacement.

10. …. chuckling ….. and you think you'll be buying a ticket for yourself …. I think your kids will be wanting tickets to come see you where-ever you are ….. there are a young couple that is currently sailing around Australia and there movements were restricted by internet access and when they had to attend online lectures .. then they got Starlink …. he is going for his Law degree and she is doing something in the communications field …. I share this cause maybe come next term you'll have a full boat … smiling … ….. what do your parents do .. they're sailing around the world .. what and you are not with them …. thx for the share .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ….

11. If your joker valves have that much calcification the whole hose to the holding tank needs to be replaced.

12. loving the vids. We are planning our journey as well. I am picking up great tips and tricks in your videos. I am looking at the NEEL 51… or maybe a Balance 482. We are still a few years out (we would like to be empty nesters and our last one is in HS). Tip: number your videos. Would love to see your journey well organized and eventually monetized.

13. Thanks for the great videos. We are a couple months behind you in following the same process of purchasing a boat from The Moorings. We even took your advice of having lunch at the French Deli the day of our survey. Thanks for the recommendation! We are hoping to take delivery November 1, but they are trying to leave that date open ended through their CAOV which changes the closing date to "we'll do our best to meet that date"… We'll see how it goes. If you have any advice please let us know. Also, I went to Auburn, so it was great to see a small-world connection. I hope your daughter enjoys her time there as much as I did (many years ago 🙂 and we hope to cross paths at some point in the future to say thanks in person for all of the advice you've provided. Thanks again and happy sailing!

14. Boat fires at shore power plugs and inlets is not uncommon. The first rule is to make sure your turn the plug clockwise after inserting it to make sure it locks. If you don't, the connection is not tight and you can get arcing and resistance in the plug – and ultimately a fire. The light will still show power. This sort of problem will not pop the breaker. My guess is that the plug that overheated wasn't turned far enough. The 2nd problem is that those shore power cables look old. This is not a place to save money. I replace my entire cord every five years. Putting those new ends on still leaves you with old wire that likely has more resistance than when new. This can cause overheating in the cable and low voltage on the boat – which can burn out air conditioner motors. Finally, your insurance company would be very unhappy to see those cords. They want any 110v wiring to be done by a licensed electrician. If you ever did have a claim, the insurance company could use that repaired cord as an excuse to deny your claim. Besides new cords I would carefully inspect the inlet on the boat where the cord plugs in. The prongs should be shiny with no scorch marks. Also inspect inside the boat where the wires exit from the inlet for any corrosion. If you see any, have an electrician replace the entire inlet. Finally, get an inexpensive handheld infrared thermoment and go looking for corrosion and hot spots in all the wiring when under load – both 12v and 110v. At these hot (or warm) spots you'll usually find some corrosion which will cause you unending problems with everything electrical on the boat until it is fixed. Don't be discouraged. You've got a great boat but it's been used hard while in charter. I know two friends who bought a boat out of charter and they each spent over $100,000 on repairs and upgrades during their first 12 months of ownership. You just have to budget for it.
