    Hey I'm 91 episodes in, nice boat, I have not sailed in 40 years it WA a 27 foot boat my buddy built. Curtis how do you your cap on when Kate seems like she will fly off. It is so unreal you tangled with a whale, I did see the damage with the pictures, I guess we didn't see the same. Glade you were able to make repairs. Fair winds and following seas. You two are fun.

    Guys quick question 🙋🏽.. what happened with your dog? How easy is it for Samoa, and port Williams before to enter sailing with agriculture issues ? Or health procedures? I really want to follow your route ! I did this before with my dad via Panama but I did not have a dog on board. Thnks !! Good winds

    Is there a way to extend your stay for like three months so that you can see all of the islands that you wanted to? They should offer that to cruisers because cruisers spend money and that time frame is just way to short to enjoy. How about going to American Samoa and then sailing back? What other island could have you sailed to and then sailed back where it would have been supper easy to do?

    I'd rather sail Sweet Ruca than that supper yacht because it's simple and not flashy which makes it much more fun in my opinion but I'm a simple yet complicated kind of guy. I bet the food aboard is much better but I hate dressing up and don't care about being waited on.

    Oh yea. Coffee with Sweet Ruca. It is good to see they keep their culture alive. Give Kate a grass skirt and she would look like a native island girl. The scenery around the mountains is pretty amazing. This video seemed to fly by quick. I think Kate has become a master at editing. Can't thank yall enough for the effort to bring these videos to us. Patience Curtis. Gotta have patience at the DMV and customs. Yall keep having fun and stay safe.
