You could easily be an official commerce promotional. And here's an appropriate title for your husband's other business card "The impossible I do immediately, miracles take a little bit longer".
Happy Birthday Captain Sean, you are an inspiration.
When I owned and operated my transport company years ago, I had the Flir mounted in my trucks it was great for animals our road debris. As we start moving forward with our transition to the yachting world it is great to know that the technology is going to be an asset on the water. Thank you. Stay safe. Happy birthday Captain.
A captain that loves the sea so much he endures seas sickness...Major League Respect!!!
Freedom is always my first video to watch when I see it on my subscribed list! Happy Birthday Shawn!
Flir on any vessel that cruises at night is a great idea. Great job…
Happy Bday my friend. I as well suffered from mild sea sickness at night and found the FLIR works well at relieving some of it. A big trick that worked very well for me was the bigger the monitor the better. Hope it works for you and thnx to the both of you for the shows every week love following along.
I got a giggle from the size of your sun glasses! I'm sure they are designer, very cool, and work great, but I'm an old guy and I'd use them as a welding shield. LOL Still say your boat is the most well maintained home on the water! You guys and the videos are a class act, just a pleasure to watch and dream.
Happy Birthday Shawn! To many more!
Happy Birthday Shawn, great video
Happy Birthday Shawn. Great job guys!
The Flir works great. We’ve had one for a few years and it’s very helpful. Happy Birthday!
Loved watching you, you are living what so many of us can only dream of doing.
Happy belated birthday Shawn!
Great video and safe travels (day or night)
now! 👍🏻 👀
Once again, we got to see more of the beautiful San Juan Islands! You kids do live a great life aboard your MV Freedom!
Amazing. Literally like 'night and day'.
Nice addition to the boat! Stay safe Freedom crew!! 👍👍👊👊
Классные вы ребята!) Успехов!
Shawn,
Happy belated Birthday ‼️‼️👍👍👏👏 Fair winds and following seas‼️‼️
I am so glad you're back doing these weekly videos. I missed you while you were away!!!
You both do a wonderful job conveying the feeling of cruising life and sharing the flavor of the ports you visit. I'm itching to resume life on a trawler.
Love the shades!
Love watching you guys. Happy Birthday 🥳 The way you bounce off each other is warming to the heart ❤️ Keep smiling and safe travels. Dig the you equipment too 👌😎🇦🇺
Happy birthday is in order. What a beautiful day, cruising on a mirror of water. Peaceful and endless imagination, dancing in the mind and soul. Thank you for letting us be part of your journey. Be safe and careful. A warm and friendly wave from Texas.
Thanks for sharing your awesome videos….always interesting!
Happy Birthday Shawn, and what a fantastic place to be. Elizabeth, I did spend time living in Cape Breton (Canada) and everyone there waved as well.
Shawn and Elizabeth I really love your videos. I’m living that life vicariously through you guys. This was always a dream of mine But life happened. Please keep these awesome vids coming as they are both entertaining but also very informative.
Thanks so much
A huge fan from 🇨🇦
Dave
Happy birthday Shawn!
interesting review of the FLIR. and a tour of fisherman bay with nice views and Happy birthday Shawn
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR ADVENTURES =)
A belated happy birthday to Shawn!
Happy birthday, Thank you guys...
Happy Birthday Shawn! Enjoy that tomahawk!
Happy birthday!!
Happy birthday! 👍👍
That think is amazing! I know how much they cost so I haven’t pulled that trigger. If you travel at night that is certainly a must have.
Wow, thats great. Night and day even..
Happy Birthday Sean! Have a great day and enjoy that steak.
Tourism and boating organizations in Washington should be paying you to promote local boating; you do such a great job of it!
Awesome video. I love those steaks, getting too expensive to buy them now. I thought Shaun was and old salt, no sea sickness, so sad he misses all the good weather lol. Have a wonderful week. God Bless.
Happy Birthday 007. Sean all kidding aside, have a great day. You're an impressive Captain and Sailor and I wish you the very best.
Another great video
Glad you enjoyed Lopez we live in Dallas but the family owns a home on "Lope" fun fact the bed and Breakfast across from the Brewery was once owned by the actor Tom Skeritt. Come up for 4th of July one of the best fire works show on the West coast. We will be up there month of July would love to show you guys around.
I am just loving Miss Martha! That Tomahawk Steak looked great! We get them from Fred Meyers, they are awesome! Great show, thanks for posting.
That’s amazing
Thank you ✌️
I think the FLIR will give you the horizon that is missing at night. That visual reference is critical for keeping your brain and eyes caged. I hope that makes sense. It important for the eyes to agree with the inner ear. Will the horizon on the flir move as the boat pitches and rolls or is it motion stabilized?
Another thing that may help is deliberate and slower head movements. Use your eyes rather than your neck to look up and down for sure.
If all of those things are obvious, forgive me for Mansplaining
Oh no. Hope its not too expensive. Have fun. Looking forward to seeing you guys down in Cali. If you come down to Dana point in Orange county would love to buy you guys a beer. We have good friends in Baha who own a cool small boutique hotel with great food and right on the beach. cheers all the best. x
Happy Birthaday..Sean...nice install on the night vision system...Enjoy your tomahawk steak..also enjoy your day.....
We purchase "Tomahawks" on all Holidays up here in Canada they run between $55-65 each ;but well worth it-can feed up to 3-4 people !
Happy belated birthday Shawn, hope your enjoyed your steak
happy birthday from Henry (the dog) and Jim. we enjoy your work! JDR
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
Too cute doggos🤗🤗
I enjoy your adventures keep up the excellent videos. Better boating through technology. I would be very reluctant to drill a hole in a perfectly good boat, even if it is topside, but Sean had a good range of skills. I also enjoy watching Tony Fleming’s videos and he is always pointing out the dangers of logs in the PNW, so the FLIR is most likely a good investment. After all you cannot have too much tech or too many toys. I have been treated for dizziness( which caused the MDs to insist I sell my Harley) - Sean’s issues at night may be the in ability to occasionally orient himself by focusing on a distant object and thusly confuse the inner ear. Hope the new gizmos help.
I caught the Cruising Sea Venture slogan, “ no wind and flat seas”
Happy Birthday Shawn 🥩🎂🍺
Nice...Freedom reminds me of that show "The Simple Life" except it is anything but.
Head for Hawaii!
Happy Birthday Sean!!!! Elizabeth, you need to get yourself a Sous Vide device for cooking the steaks, as well as other things....lots of other things. Best steaks I have ever had. Super easy to use (fool proof). You would have had that Tomahawk Steak in hours instead of days. Sous Vide at Sea!!!!!!!
You are right. That $150 tomahawk would be excellent prepared by water.
You must rent bikes or take your scooters and got to the south end to Shark Reef Park and take the trail to the water. You can see Cattle Point, buy some berries from the old Blue Truck and check out all the leaves on the trail that people have made into a bunch of crazy faces. Its a long way but very worth it.
Brilliant
Well first off, Happy Birthday Shawn !! The Flir installation was awesome and the resolution is great. We used Flir at my work and it really is fantastic at night. I was wondering how often do you exercise the wing engine and do you just run on it for a couple of hours every once in a while ? And while on the subject of boat systems, how is the Simply Safe system working out ? Well enough questions, Have a great weekend and enjoy the Tomahawk steak !! I always sprinkle all my steaks with Montreal steak seasoning and they are fantastic. Enjoy and take care.
Happy Birthday
I used to suffer from sea sickness in the pilothouse on my N43 when she was pitching, partially due to the fact the pilothouse is so far forward on that model. I had a flybridge, and found it better up there due to being in the open air, as well as being farther aft. Standing on the Portuguese bridge with the remote might help, as you would get more air.
Best,
Maldwin
Like the old intro better... Great videos, as always. Ps
Black Hot will show the most detail to your eye. Hunters use white hot because living things stand out but terrian detail is lost. The unit picks up the same information in both modes but it presents it in different ways that your eye can decode.
A belated happy birthday to Shawn! How does the FLIR connect into the multifunction display? Does it reside on the high speed Ethernet network so it's accessible by the PC and handheld devices such as a phone or tablet? The multifunction displays and the PC might be a little low and small to be helpful with seasickness, perhaps you need a drop down flat screen TV; a 100" model should be sufficient! 😂
(Before someone takes my suggestion the wrong way... I am in no way making light of Shawn's sea sickness battle, one that I share. However, I may be a bit tongue in cheek about yet another addition to the preponderance of non-medication sea sickness remedies.)
Keep up the great videos and above all STAY SAFE! ⛵❤️😁
HBD Shawn, enjoy your steak
I’m not a Dr. But my scuba diving career taught me that an antihistamine helped to clear my ears and could help your sea sicknesses inner ear problems.
A small slice of fresh ginger under the tongue helps stop seasickness.
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 And also tasty on fresh fish.
Tagamet settles my stomach and my *_mal de mer_* is history. Worked even going through the Golden Gate.
I think I started watching 1 year ago...bday present was a tour of a larger Nordhaven
Tommohawk Steak my eye, that's Dino's Leg... 😂😜😀😁
Think you'd be best to SousVide that Tomahawk after sawing off (and rounding the edge) of the bone. SV, then bung on a charcoal BBQ with your hairdryer as a forced-draft fan. Get the coals up to Bessemer Furnace temps! Meanwhile - saute some chopped shallots, garlic and rosemary to baste when off the BBQ. Rest, and slice. YUM !!!!
So the FLIR is night vision? Or thermal? (I have both), just curious as you mention different heat shows differently on it, and night vision doesnt see heat. Great video, never had a tomahawk, curious to see how that works out!
Loved the FLIR when I was in Afghanistan. We used them all the time.
I laughed when I saw that electric fence at the brewery. Someone gets drunk and stumbles into it.
That sea looks like glass!
AWESOME, that tomahawk looks good. AFTER you defrost, give the steak a chance to get to room temp. My preference? Rub a tiny bit of olive oil (helps to keep salt and pepper) on the steak, the coat w/ fresh cracked pepper (I do some black, red, and green peppercorns) and some fresh ground Sea Salt. Coat it.
onto as high a heat grill to sear it. then cook on a little lower heat until it is done right. (I prefer rare, but, however he likes it). LET IT REST 5 or so minutes, before serving. While it rests, I like to put a pat of butter, and let it melt before eating. You're not going to eat it all the time, so, why not add butter and salt? The next day, back to salad greens but once a year? let your palette enjoy.
I think a FLIR is as important as radar. I really love your boat I see it has a mast and a boom, if you wanted can you put up sails or are those for some other purposes? If I could afford more than a canoe I would have The Nordhaven motor sailor 56. A tomahawk steak is a bone-in ribeye. Happy motoring
Oh no a problem, I hate problems
Interested in finding out about the red deck lights in the night shots. Were they installed by Shawn, or came as standard options? Thanks, enjoy your videos very much.
Is the Lopez Bakery still around? Great cinnamon rolls!
Apparently we share a Birthday? April 23 I take it? Anyway , I'm a bit older than Sean (I'm 60 now) Happy Birthday Sean, From Lewis up the coast a ways on Vancouver Island
That’s a great joke ya got there! 😉👍😁
Which FLIR did you get and will you recommend the same model? Thanks
any chance the FILR could pick up crab pots?
A tomahawk is a ribeye with the rib still attached, cook it how you would a ribeye.
Have you ever made contact with floating debris while you were cruising? I have never cruised the PNW but it looks like there are a lot of trees in the water.
👍
Did the steak (snake river farms?) cost more than the flir?
A very large Ribeye with a frenched bone still on. Num num.
Why not have the flir on the big display and radar on smaller display
Flir cool
Do you still have a loran coupler on your hard top?
Happy Birthday "Mr nice Gay" ;)
Do you ever go fishing?
Ah, Ye Olde Cliffhanger... The FLIR looks cool? Didn't you once consider it and decided against?
Which model Flir did you install? M232?
I thought he had 2 "quarter pounders" , Thanks for the videos.
have ya tried it yet in FOG? nice difference it makes!! :) how much contrast do the crab pot bueys have for ya now on it???? they as ez to see as that marker was?
CONGRATZ! :) nice improvement!
We wanted one of this to see the critters in our backyard. czcams.com/users/postUgkxGix1RueFf66g4dKZ0w4Qsw_3Vv6Xqant The first thing that I like about this is that it has a rechargeable battery. The other is that it is small and fairly easy to use. The instructions weren't too great but we played with it awhile and figured it out. Can see very well in our back yard down to the woods which is roughly a football field length in the dark. There were certainly more expensive ones out there but this works for us and was within our price range. We have not tried the video recording portion and may update the review later.
I thought it was just common courtesy to wave? That’s hilarious.
