  • Happy Sunday Funday!
    It's sad to say but quite honestly I've had enough of HIM! And if he doesn't get a better attitude and a more festive attitude for the holidays, Shawn's going in the drink. Luckily for him, though, his attitude improved the morning after my big surprise so I'll keep him for now.
    WATCH to see PART 2 of the holiday lights and 10' Dino the Dinosaur reveal aboard Freedom. Shawn wasn't too happy and made sure nobody was happy the night he returned back to the boat. But his attempts to squash my holiday spirit only made me want to go bigger next year so I've already started to scheme about next year's display. And let me tell you, it's going to be NATIONAL LAMPOON'S ON STEROIDS!!!
    Enjoy!

    Some people in the comments are acting like they've never had a fallacy moment of irrational anger. This is a flip side of relationships. He recognized his overreaction and apologized for it. It's all about the betterment of oneself. It's awesome to see you guys got through this, no doubt from past experiences. Thanks for sharing.

    Shawn, wt ? Allow!?! I'm a the captain of my boat and am particular about how it's cared for but really. Elizabeth worked really hard and was very careful about protecting the boat and securing things properly. The whole point is that this is a ride. What do you want to remember from all of this. Let go a bit and enjoy the moment. Elizabeth did nothing irresponsible here but you did. I appreciate that you were both willing to share this. A life and relationship lesson.... for everyone. I love the preview "and I earn some brownie points with dino." I think dino may become a code word in your relationship. Love the Q&A.

    But, I'm happy to see, and fully expected , he'd come around.

    Shawn may have been grumpy about the lights and green "santa." Disappointing after all your work and excitement; however, Elizabeth, I think you have a real gem. To fix the cut string, put all the lights back, with a nod to the green santa, takes a real man. Not many men would have the grace to do that -- and on camera too!

      @ Norma Mimosa...you mean like saying "sorry." Have to disagree. "Sorry" is just a cop out. He was in full control of his criticism. He was in full control of the wire snippers. As i commented, it's up to him what his future actions are like towards her. As a male I see a bit of me being played out. With the advantage of hindsight I can see how i was responsible for a breakdown in a 23yr marriage. That's why I'm taking her side.

    Normal couple stuff. Elizabeth was having fun and knew Shawn was going to have an issue with ALL the decor. Nothing more than a funny prank. This would totally be me after being stuck on the boat alone in rainy Washington, bored and getting into trouble while my hubs was away. But, they worked through it, compromised, and moved on. Elizabeth, I think your decorations looks AMAZING but sad to see you were the only boat lit up! Maybe you'll inspire the other boats to decorate! Love your channel, Shawn and Elizabeth!

    There is a really valuable relationship lesson for men in this video. When your lady takes the initiative to do something for you and you think it's a really bad idea or there are issues she just didn't figure out, take a deep breath, or a walk, or whatever, remind yourself this is the woman you love and be KIND. Men supposedly have fragile egos, but women can be deeply hurt in these situations by an irritated/careless remark.

    The comments are even more amusing than the video. Proves why reality shows are so popular...comment on situations you know little about...regarding people you know nothing about...reflected in your own failures and questionable expectations...
    Ive been married 32 years to someone I am still trying to deserve. Moving on a boat full time would definitely challenge us as well, and even if this situation played out in one take, each party always has some responsibility for the outcome. If nothing else, the scenario should warn people of the possibilities ahead when sharing a small space with another. No doubt it takes grownups to work through such issues.

    Hi Shawn. I've been watching your videos on the tv for some time now but just had to go PC so I could smile with words on this one. Too bad about the differences over the decorations, but hey man, that is, sadly, a function of two great thinkers co-habitating. I'm not surprized you acquiesced in the end once over the travel blahs. If you guys did not show the bad with the idealic lifestyle, it would be fake. Good question about the engine hours. In fact, all good questions. Rebuilding the boat engine, as you said, can be done on the spot, and in the trucking industry at least is called an 'in frame'. I have just a few years big truck experience. It's not abnormal for a well looked after big truck engine to last over one million miles. From my experience, most engines have a sweet spot. Truck engines have about a 300 rpm sweet spot and probably the same with all applications. That is fuel economy and torque. You probably know that gas engines and diesels are far different cats. Over-reving a diesel often just throws fuel out the stack, clogs the rings, valves and injectors, and ... damages your pocket book. Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit and others all do have optimum rpm., mind you varying. I guess the prop is adjusted to hit that spot. Varying the engine speed avoids wearing grooves in the sleeves, same as any engine. You may have already known this, but so much for my two cents. I enjoy watching you two and envy your work on board lifestyle. I'm retired so that adds other complications, including the better half's wishes. Be safe. Hi, from one hour north of Toronto, Canada. John. BTW ... Merry Christmas to you both.

    I just watched both vlogs about the lights. Elisabeth worked so hard to not only surprise Shawn but also to actually hang the lights and she was so proud that she did it by herself, to bring holiday to the boat and some happiness in the time of Covid, which is hard to come by. Shawn drained it right out of her and it was so unnecessary. I have noticed by watching these vlogs that Shawn shows little warmth and affection except for the dog. He walks ahead of Elisabeth all the time I have never seen him hold her hand or put his arm around her. She is sweet and seems like she is always trying to not piss him off and trying to do everything right on the boat. Shawn seems like a boat Nazi. Elisabeth you need to remind him that boat is half yours, and if your half wants the damn light then so be it! He came around eventually but by then the joy was gone.

    Marriage is all about give and take. I had a friend whose wife went to stay with her sick mother for a month, and in that time he remodeled the entire kitchen, including new appliances. He did the work himself. It would have cost him $50K if he had someone as competent do it. When the wife came home, all their friends had a surprise unveiling and the wife was livid. She didn't like it at all and actually mocked the work.
    On face value, her reaction was totally unreasonable and over the top, but in the coming days she revealed to her husband that her mom was going to die and there was nothing that could be done. She was destroyed by that. Nothing was going to life her spirits up knowing that. And in frustration she just acted out. Yes, unreasonably to those that witnessed it, but to her, a new kitchen is the last thing she wanted compared to what she was about to lose.
    Things need to be seen in perspective. Did something happen during the time he was away? Was it so bad that the only thing that could settle his mind was,

    Hey mr fixit cool your jets. My wife and I have been four season boaters longer than we’ve been married (35 yrs). What a Debbie downer you were at you wife’s gallant efforts to provide some holiday cheer for your return to the boat. I would think a return to a beautiful boat with warm loving arms and a cheery attitude to greet you would put a smile on your face and a glow in your heart. But nooooo! I quest you like it better in plasticsville. And after you rip the decorations down a mute apology to repair and relent some is so weak of an apology. You have what others dream for but seem so poor of spirit and cheer. Shit man cheer up life is wonderful if you let it. Appreciate your wife and show her you do! You didn’t even push her on the swing; are you nuts. Romance boy! The purpose of life is to nurture life. Start with those most important to you. Good luck.

    Many people watch your channel because of their interest in your boat and trips around the PNW. Which I enjoy watching as well. What amazes me most is the relationship you two have. Living in a relatively small space with very little private space would stress many relationships. You two have found a way to beat that challenge. On the surface it would appear Elizabeth does much to accommodate Sean’s idiosyncrasies and OCD tendencies. But you two are obviously in love and in simpatico. Love has a way of making coping with difficult traits feasible. We all have our down days and this video shows Sean having a real cranky day. Which I’m guessing he regrets. You found ways to make amends and move forward without getting too hung up with your bump in the road. Many a couple could learn from this. It takes a lot of courage and confidence to document and broadcast a difficult moment in a relationship. But it’s insightful to see the good, the bad and the ugly and how you guys navigate a rough patch. Sean I’m sure you know just how lucky you are having Elizabeth in your life. And Elizabeth you obviously love your guy and he brings you much joy. We all learn as life goes on. You two have a very Merry Christmas and keep those lights shining throughout the holiday season.

    So you surprise him, when you know he doesn't like surprises and when you know he is always a little crabby when he is returning from a trip and you are surprised he's not happy???? 10's are shocked when he's not happy. You bear the vast majority of responsibility here, IMO.
    As my wife loves to say "You plant peas, don't be surprised when you get peas."

    I like this video a lot! It takes a break from the "always happy" illusion that is thrown around on social media. People get pissed, people can have a bad mood and people can come to their senses. That's life! keep it up!

    So glad Shawn came around. I'm a big Christmas decorator and my husband not so much and he would have probably reacted the same to his favourite boat. Glad it was only one night and Shawn tried to fix and make up for it. Wonder if my husband will read this comment? LOL.

    I can relate to Shawn's response. I used to fly a ton for my work and it was never pleasurable. The only thing I wanted when I got home was to relax and have things "normal". Decompression time. Glad to see things turned around the next day. The decorations looked great.

As I've gotten more senior I appreciate what people do for me a lot more. Even if I don't fully enjoy it. The boat looked great Elizabeth. Another great episode..Stewart island probably has septic tanks with drain fields. Not a city thing but very common in rural areas.

Thanks for the great story...I know it was serious at the time but it had us in stitches, knowing we have all been there before and will be again!

    septic tank which drain into covered ditch's with gravel. The land has to perk which means a small hole about two feet deep is filled with water and it has to drain with in a certain time . All the houses in rural areas have this system in the south, they seldom have to be pumped out, I have lived in three houses over thirty years and never had a issue.

    Not one to take a side in a couple’s argument, but since it is public, I must agree with Shawn...Every year I end up with more house maintenance chores as a direct result of Christmas lights. However....Shawn, dude, Happy wife=Happy life!

    Elizabeth, thank you for your spirit in dealing with hubby's hormonal rant.. He has unfortunately dropped in my estimation somewhat, especially knowing you were recording and were genuinely excited. Obviously he hadn't the best trip at work, and still does not know to leave it all at the dockside. Anyway you both took the vows and know how it works. Hopefully you both didn't "let the sun go down on your wrath"...stayed up and argued all night!. Lol. Greetings from North Ireland.

    Good on you, Elizabeth, for standing your ground, and good on your husband for doing the honorable thing and taking the time to fix
    the lights he cut and putting them back up, and then meeting you halfway. I got the vibe that he realized that he was wrong, and realized
    how lucky he is to have such a fabulous wife.
    Even in the best of friendships/relationships/marriages, people occasionally get annoyed at each other and have fights. It's the way
    we humans are wired. I'm so glad your rough patch passed quickly. I admire your patience and obvious respect for one another
    (non withstanding the expected occasional turbulence), and your love for Mr. Sully. :-)

    There are plenty of comments criticizing the guy for being pissed off about the christmas lights. Some people like christmas lights and some people don't, it's just personal taste of individual people.
    In other videos I've see this guy cleaning a window like an extremely obsessive boat owner. I'm obsessive about writing computer software, I can appreciate that level of detail even if it's just cleaning windows. Just the type of guy he is, nothing wrong with that.
    The one thing I noticed was 5:00 into the video "I know he wasn't going to be happy" that is an interesting comment for the woman to make.

  • @colliewise9659

    I love this video so much because it’s honest and shows a real relationship!! I would be so sad if my partner didn’t like the lights I worked hard at but you can’t help it was his real reaction- I love that you told the full story and the compromise you came to for Dino gate. It was actually really nice to see him fixing the lights he cut and also you could just tell you were really happy they were going back up! I’m sure without a normal home things like Christmas lights must REALLY bring back happy nostalgic memories- it really is the little things!! And that’s really amazing you put them up all by yourself. It says a lot about you two for putting this video up and being honest- I truly only see “perfect” couple moments online and never disagreements so seeing a REAL relationship and having you keep the highs and lows in really does a lot for the internet. You’re bringing an aspect of authenticity to a platform that has totally warped how young people like me see relationships and what we view as “normal”. It’s really nice to see this and think, they have their moments too and we are all human. Thanks so much for sharing this! So much respect for you both :)
