Dishwasher! Go Team Jason!
With global warming you guys can take the Northwest Passage to the Pacific. That would be a great trip!
Could you, would you take "UNDRA" on the great american Loop. I'm currently hooked on watching people travel it.
What´s your favorite part of the world so far?
Nice video. We remember.
I started following you guys with RV episodes and I've enjoyed watching you over the years. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through your adventures. I've had some medical issues lately that had stalled my dreams, but watching you guys inspires me to move forward. I may never reach where you guys are but I will continue to chase my dream….thanks for the inspiration!
Pineapples 🍍 nice shirt
Helmets🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ugg I love the video quality but I have a hard time with just a motor yacht…
Glad to see you guys are back voyaging again. Yes so glad the the weather is back to normal! Last weeks heat wave was Too Hot! Will you be heading into the Med? I am retired in Albania, it's a wonderful country and you would not believe the water and beaches here, they are amazing.
RICH YUPPY AMERICANS WHO ONLY SPEAK ABOUT WEALTH AND PLEASURE AND NEVER SPEAK ABOUT THEIR TERRIBLE PRESIDENT OR ANYTHING OF ETHICAL SUBSTANCE , ITS BENEATH YOU ISNT IT ?
You know, some things just work out. The HH sailing hybrid catamaran experience was a learning event for you guys and them. Neither of you were happy how that worked out, but for you two, it pivoted y'all into this. For HH, I am sure they are trying to figure out how it went so wrong, but they owned up to it and bought it back from y'all. Now, you two are in a solid built motor yacht with some great adventures ahead for us followers to watch
I hope you go back to Palmerston Cook Islands, 6 years ago you made one of the most authentic and beautiful vlogs ever
Jason definitely a motor boater , damn I love you two.
Love following your travels. I can't believe it's already been 10 years?! What?!
Motor boats provide you with amble electricity and heat just a a free sideline. That is a lot of practical comfort.
Best you stocked up with Belgium Beer before you do the crossing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hell of a boat. A lot of wasted interior space in the interior though.
I think what you're doing is pretty darn cool ! Very interesting! Just don't cut the wrong pipe!😅
Perfect choice, beautiful boat. You guys look so settled now. Great to see. 🇦🇺
I know this is not an option for you but what we do is have a boat in UK territory and one in EU and just travel back and forth every 90 days or so. Also check out Ireland which although technically parts of Schengen has its own rules and allows visitors to stay 90 days even if you have just spent 90 days in the Schengen Zone. Although you as US citizens have only 90 days in Schengen your boat boat can stay in UK for 18 months without issue. A quick trip to France, Jersey, Ireland, Norway will reset the clock for you.
You should go trough Sweden in the inland channels and then Finnish archipelago then boat north to Swedish High coast and make some visit to shallow Finnish coast
Instead of no, try yes and
🌬🛥🌏☀️🇦🇺
Get an adjustable voltage regulator, feed it from the boats battery and set it to power the sensor. Or look up the battery voltage and change the connector so it can take an available battery.
It’s fun to see you two on such a sophisticated boat. This makes a lot of sense to me, despite it not being a predictable path. Least of which is that those of us who like a bit of adventure need to change things up sometimes.
Hi guys
You’re in Europe, can we at least pronounce it al-u-min-i-um ? 😂😂
I love this boat … a comfortable venture ahead. Well done you. Have fun!
🤟🏼💙🌎🤝💚✌🏼🤠🤙🏼
i love your boat she's so beautiful to look at
What flag are you flying, and where is your registry? Home port?
Hi Nikki and Jason, I have not seen your wind turbines but I want to comment as I have tried many and they were all very low output and noisy. The Archimedes style is silent and one of the most efficient. You can 3D print it or construct it by the many Youtube instructional videos. My thoughts are you can use one to trickle charge the start batteries but little else. André
so sad to see, that you are on a motorboat now… happy life and good luck on your travels 🙂
Hi both, pleased to see you coming back to the UK, a slightly "wider" boat than the last one you toured on 😉
Sorry to be a downer but, just a heads up for when you are in the UK. Bikes are very high risk for being stolen – from pretty much anywhere!
Cool! you passed by my hometown. Oostende. Safe travels
Judging on the weather the next video might have a huge storm in it?
you should definitely check out cardiff!!
When you compare fuel efficiency between motor vs sail are you referring to the time you are under motor on you new boat vs under motor on your sailboat(s)? Jason, I was glad you got the "dishwasher" on the list of cabin-friendly equipment. Thanks for your continued videos.
The more time we spend aboard UNDRA, the more right it feels. What part of this shift would you like us to talk more about? ⚓Get an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans! Use code WYNNS at checkout. Download Saily app or go to https://saily.com/wynns
