Weighing our boat.. + LEAVING FOR JAPAN! (Extended Cut)

I lived in Okinawa when I was Darwin’s age.

Holly S is right. Dont just test your TSH . Perhaps Japan is a good place to go to look into this. To support your thyroid optimally you need to have adequate Vit D, Selenium & b12. , then test your T3&T4, Folate, Thyroid Antibodies. Most places look at your TSH only and say a result of 4 or 5 is good. Optimally you can be looking for a score of 2. Best of luck and do a lot of research. Lots of support groups on Facebook too.

Consider all options for your thyroid. Remember there’s lots of options. There’s bio- identical options too like Nature thyroid. Good luck .

Hey guys Go look up Gary Brecka All your health issues are dietary Get a DNA methylation test Gary's information will fill in the blanks

hey there. amazing videos. how do I find the sea people (sp?) app? thanks so much.

I think the caution here is be careful about buying the third hull in a series. Keep pushing, you deserve to get what you paid for.

O my goodness I totally feel for you guys, to go through all that emptying of your boat and then not get the answers you need, I seriously would be annoyed. Nah Riley you haven't been a grump, even if you were it'll be pretty understandable considering everything that happened.

Weight of the boat. Unless you need an exact weight for some legal reason, it would seem to me that comparing the weights of the other 60s and your inaccurate weight there in the Philippines, you probably know fairly close what it weighs. Is that accurate enough?

Safe travels team! Japan by sail- what an adventure. Here is Dogen on the recent warning https://youtu.be/uC-vj68SBxA?si=66_IySkMFKCR63Hu He has a house and family in Kyushu, so he’s definitely invested. It’s in the nature of the earth to move, even if you’re a tectonic plate. Just keep on moving…must be safer?

Hey Riley and crew I’ve introduced FalunGong to many over the years. The best part is it provides you with autonomy of your time. Mr. Li Hongzhi introduced Falun Dafa to the public by giving a series of lectures, which were recorded when he taught in Guangzhou, China. The Nine-Day Lecture series, along with Falun Dafa’s main book Zhuan Falun are considered essential in understanding the basics of practicing Falun Dafa. Recently Practitioners, veteran and new, watched the lecture series in Whanganui located in northern New Zealand between March 30 and April 19. They said it enhanced their understanding of how to cultivate themselves, look inward, and improve in their daily lives. So I’ve decided that should be your next move. Watch the Nine lectures.😁 https://en.falundafa.org/falun-dafa-global-contacts.html?v=bks04 I’m sure you can watch the lectures by Master Li Hongzhi on your device. Retired Special Forces Member just recently sad: “I Found What Was Missing in Life” “Mereana was a soldier and served in the wounded brigade and military hospital. She was later invited to join the special forces. She currently volunteers at numerous organisations and is a community leader.” Impressed by Falun Dafa’s teachings, she said Master Li talked about very profound things. She felt she needed a deeper understanding, so she attended the lecture series. “Different from various religions, the principles of Falun Dafa emphasise that practitioners begin improving themselves by looking within,” Mereana explained. “This is the best path forward in this chaotic society. Falun Dafa teaches one to pay attention to moral character, instead of material interest – this is how mankind can get back on track.” She said the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance helped her find what she lost in life. In fact, such a practice would benefit everyone including children. “This way, the young generation will have a more promising future. Our society will improve too, as many problems would be resolved and disappear,” she added. After she finished watching the second lecture, Mereana was surprised to find that the knee problems that had bothered her for many years were gone. “I am so thankful because Master Li has helped purify my body as soon as I began to practice,” she said. Glad to hear Falun Dafa teachings are available in over 40 languages, she hoped there would be an edition in Māori as well. Mereana recommended a youth group she’s affiliated with to learn the Falun Dafa exercises. Learning to Handle Situations in a Positive Way Karl Webb was fond of Chinese martial arts since he was a child. When he lived at Christchurch he learned the Falun Dafa exercises from practitioners. After he later moved to Whanganui he met local practitioners and joined the group Fa study and group exercises. This was the first time Karl watched the lecture series. “I was very touched when I saw Master Li in the video and the lectures helped me better understand Falun Dafa’s teachings,” he said. “The principles are very profound and I gained new understandings along the way. Falun Dafa taught me to remain calm when facing conflicts,” he said. “When we have no pursuit of result and focus on handling issues in a compassionate manner, we stay on track and life is productive.” Along with watching the videos, practitioners did the exercises outdoors. New Practitioner: Profound Principles in a Simple Language Tina said watching the Nine-Day Lecture series was mind-opening for her. “Master often uses some examples in life to explain profound principles. I found it very easy to understand,” she said. “The lectures are not only fascinating, but also helpful in guiding me on how to face various situations in life.” “For example, we should not worry too much about the other side or the result. As practitioners, we should instead pay attention to looking inward and really improving ourselves,” she said. “Our righteous mindset and actions will lead to a better outcome.” Eros said he started to practice Falun Dafa as a child with his mother. But this was the first time he’s watched the Nine-Day Lecture series and it helped him to understand the teachings better. He also learned that cultivation is very serious and one must be diligent. During discussions, new practitioners shared their stories about coming to the lecture seminar. Some of them experienced various difficulties, but they were able to overcome the interference and attend. “I also found that learning Falun Dafa is a precious opportunity. I will cherish it and do better,” Eros said. Practitioners in New Zealand watched the video recordings of Master’s Nine-Day Lecture series given in Guangzhou. The sessions were held March 30 – April 19 at Whanganui. Letting Go of Attachments Diana started to practice Falun Dafa over 20 years ago and this was the third time she had seen the videos of Master’s Nine-Day Lecture series. “When watching it for the first time back then, I had a pure mind and was drawn to the lectures,” she said. “Now I noticed I have various human notions such as an attachment to comfort.” She said those were some of the reasons she did not do better in cultivation. “When watching the video lectures with new practitioners, I learned the importance of maintaining a pure mind,” she explained. “Master also helped remove lots of thought karma for me. I am so thankful.” Views expressed in this article represent the author’s own opinions or understandings. All content published on this website are copyrighted by Minghui.org.

Snickerdoodle! JK! Awesome video and so glad you guys are sorted and underway! Fantastic! Fair winds and following seas...

I'm glad SLVIII is repaired and well. Safe travels to the Land of the Rising Sun. Looking forward to following your journey. ⛵️😄

Really wonderful episode. Full of so much variety. Wish you had not had to go thru all of that though! Super frustrating. I have seen so much incompetence and apathy lately with customer service. It's sad. I am soooo glad you have Kai with his massive amount of sailing experience with you on this trip. Well done with your wonderful crew and now the kids are becoming crew! Yay! I lived in Japan teaching English for awhile years ago. You can look forward to a true culture change. Take care of that thyroid Riley, I've been where you are and most US doctors don't get the right tests done without prompting. Looking forward to the next vid.

Learned a lot rereading the Rapido statement letter. I still hope that the ladies never have to go through that pack up and haul off and on of the contents again. Not worth it IMHO. Did get rid of some stuff though, made room for more provisions. HIGH END MEAT. Have fun in Japan! Good food…..🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

❤ GR8 VID ~ LOVED IT ❤

Shouldn't every video feature a wrap up and a good night from Elayna? I think you should let Rapido find a marina or weigh station that they will certify for you as accurate, and you should only go through all of that hassle at a place where you know the measurement process will be correct and Rapido certified. Also it may be the least surprising thing that Lenny is already into Nietzsche. It was always going to happen. :) Fair winds and following seas...

Stay safe.
