So what do we do? Join us to find out how we avoid the crowds, and if its really worth it.... THANKS FOR WATCHING!

0:00 Sailing to Moorea!
5:07 Shark and ray feeding station - possibly the most photographed sharks in the world
7:36 Papaya cleanse?!?
9:47 Most convenient grocery store in paradise?
12:30 What is pea blossom lemonade? Hike up Magic Mountain.
16:30 Doing what cruisers do.
16:20 HAHAHAHAHAHA! The best summary - everything I want from a purple lemonade. 😀
more more than i expected
15:15 The word you're looking for is "flatter". 😛
🤣
that's what its about right there
Thanks for watching!
11:04 Thank goodness you didn't catch Nate doing laundry. "I am removing molecules of pollution from these garments using this complex chemical formula to make them more sanitary and thus more presentable". **eye rolling smiley**
As captain, I made the declaration a while ago that laundry and dishes are not on my list of responsibilities.
@@sailing_scout Watch out, Captain. First mate might decide that neither is eating. 😀
15:02 Quoting Robert Frost IN THAT HEAT!? I wish the kids could remind you that poem is actually called "The road NOT taken". 😀
Awesome video as always! Ur babies are so fortunate that you're giving them these once in a lifetime experiences to keep in their memories 4ever!! I luv watching them having such a great time 2gether!! Are u looking 2 adopt a 62 yo Harley guy anytime soon!!!😂 May God bless (I believe he already has!) n keep ur beautiful family safe in ur travels!! Can't hardly wait 4 the next video! Luv n hugs 2 u all!!!❤❤❤😎👍👍👍
Thanks so much Pitman! We really appreciate the comment and well wishes! We are very blessed.
And by the way, personally I HATE videos on home screen that start every time I open the said home screen. Just saying. You should call Ipsos to conduct a survey on that.
10:36 A piece of advice if I may. A child who doesn't hold ice-cream when loading a dinghy is much more useful than the one who does. 😀 What was such a hurry that poor Elie couldn't finish her RARE treat before being forced back into longshoremanship. Sniffle. 😞 Poor little darling. MEAN mommy!
Loved the variety in this video. Beautiful snorkeling shots and what a beautiful hike. Interesting how you store your provisions. Always wondered where you put everything. Enjoy your cleanse. Be sure to let everyone know how that went. Can’t wait for the next video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
4:10 Buy him a Rubik's cube! 🙂
15:50 I must say this path has best of two worlds - the sides are paved for the civilized of us and the middle is left raw for the 12 year old savages amongst us.
Indeed. And nice to get a bit of separation every once in a while.
Thank you
Eily looks tired Mom, circles under her pretty eyes
1:45 Just look at the boy in the background! He's standing on a YACHT near most beautiful island in the middle of an exotic archipelago! And what is he doing!? LOOKING INTO HIS PHONE!!! Kids these days!!!! When did we drop the ball parenting them?
What in the world is "day sailing"?
Well I would think they just call you special............ Be happy, be safe
Thank you!
11:35 Someone wants to go to a military school!!! 😡
Don’t think we haven’t discussed it. 😇
Great video guys as always you have come so far… serious question from part time outremer cruisers with 9 and 10 year olds onboard only ever done 10 weeks trips at the most cruising but about to go full time, do you allow screen time or digital time for kids and how much or is it not an issue once into the groove ? Want to try start with the right approach 🧐 any feedback experience with your kids welcome and yes we will be homeschooling
Screens are a tricky one and different families land in different places. We’ve always been on the low side of the spectrum. Long story short, Kieran gets one hour a day, Eily isn’t interested in it and we also watch a movie as a family a time or two a week. Thanks for watching!
I hate the word "cruisers" when used in relation to people on boats. I have a special idiosincrasia towards this whole "cruising" vs. "sailing" distinction. After seeing entire families cross oceans on 40ft boats seeing a youtube "expert" claiming some boat is "a true blue water cruiser" makes me want to reach for a (water) gun.
But yes, like it or not, you ARE tourists. You come to a place for a short time for entertainment. Tourist is the opposite of a "local". So you are tourists by definition. Why the sudden interest to terminology? Just drive! 🙂
Maloy is back I see with more sailing advice from the mainland.🤪zz
@@user-ti7le2rs5c Amen, brother!
@@user-ti7le2rs5c It's good to be famous. How may I help you today, Mr. Popeye?
@@user-ti7le2rs5c Why can't I retort!? Somehow youtube deletes every reply I try to post. 😞
@@user-ti7le2rs5c How can I help you today, David?
you definitely not tourists and even travelers isn't quite right. you probably need a new definition to describe what you do. The phrase "Journey before Destination" comes to mind. especially since your journeys can be so long and full of adventure. Maybe "Journiers"?
I like it!
Sorry y'all, being in a place that 98 percent of us will never see unless in dreams, y'all are bored!!! I'm done.
??? I don’t recall saying we were bored!
