RUN INTO by a TUG BOAT!

Awww looks so fun! I've been a patron for 6 years, maybe more. Would absolutely love to win a comp with you one day 🌈

We would love to join next year! Looking forward to the next contest.

riley and the coconut bit🤣

Yesss!! That looks like incredible fun. Pleazzzzeee post some out takes/behinds the scenes footage for Patreons only!! Looks like ya'll had a lot of fun!

Ahhh and to think that we were so close join 😅 did I count right or did I only see 6 pairs? Wasn’t it 7 cabins? What happened to the last one?

Our baby got bumps and scratches, too, thanks to a boat breaking off its mooring and sliding sideways onto us... always sad, but glad that it (like your incident) happened a) without anyone getting injured, and b) in daylight...

Long time reader, first time poster. My wife and I are super envious of the regatta and will definitely be working towards 2023. The collision at anchor is a tricky one. I *bet* they thought you were powering away off anchor. It’s one of my greatest fears, both on anchor and approaching. That there will be a misunderstanding regarding intentions.

Awesome episode as usual, hope Lenny Tube is here to stay 😂

Loved this video! I started watching you guys at the beginning of the pandemic and I am manifesting this lifestyle for myself! Please never stop making videos! Much love!

Such a great video!! Enjoyed it so much. Please come and visit South Africa once you are onboard on your new trimaran. I promise you that Cape Town is beautiful. I will be waiting with a bottle of wine.

Curious to know how many lion fish you folks are catching these days? As for the tug, he should know better than what he did. You have every right to file a claim, captain should be aware of prop wash and if you folks have kids and extra crew I think you would be more than safe. How scary!! Your lives were at risk and you had kids on board. BS.

Oh I would definitely go after them for damages. How awful! But other than the tugboat, the regatta looked amazing! So jealous!

So, thank you. Old Man in the wheel chair.

I'm glad to be a part of the team. I'm a 75 year old man with a 100% disability rating from my service in Vietnam. So I'm pretty much home bound. Your wonderful videos have shown me the world and well under it.

Really nice! Hope everyone had a great time! xoxoxoxo

So FUN!!!

Loved the Lenny Tube, and the little clip by Darwin! LV's newest little camera person.

It looks like you had a great time! And this was like a highlight reel from my winter in the Abacos! I even recognized the charter boats. Absolutely cannot wait to go back!

Great video, looks like a great time. As for the collision seems that rules are great for cases of right of way but real world boils down to ‘might is right’, unfortunately. Luckily it’s only flesh wound!

First Darwin Cam?😮🤪

So want to join in the fun! Maybe 2023 I will be lucky enough to win a place for the regatta! You are ALL legends! Love the open honest commentary and real life moments . . . Love to E, R, L & D and crew! Always fun to watch David & sweetheart Immy! Eloise from Vermont

Great job you guys, thank you for doing this and sharing it with everyone. Glad that us patreons are all good peeps!

Wow! Looks like so much fun. Immy is the nicest person on the planet. 🧡

Great episode, looks like you had a good group, or you edited out the axe killer :-). Regarding the tug boat, isn't that why boats have radios? Communication is key, all that dude would have had to do is tell you to move (politely) and the problem is avoided. Regarding David and Immogene, two of my favorite crew ever. David has such a nice calm demeanor and Immi is exceedingly sweet. I wish they could stay forever.

Yeah, I think you’re probably right Riley, the Tug Boat crew may have thought you were relocating not realizing you were just maneuvering over still on your anchor chain. Good people attract other good people. Serial killers are loners. The worst thing you might encounter with a gathering of strangers might be couples arguing, and or drinking problems. Vomit spewing is NOT cool! 😂 I’d say that was a total success, I enjoyed your video, like always. Cheers 🍻

How delightful that it was such a joy for you all what was your favorite part of having the patreons aout

I like cranky Riley

here I go accidentally hitting the return button on my iPad and thus, ending my post. So, I was going to mention that when I had my website, ifish.net, we had a party each summer that we called “ifish stock”. It was loads of fun and we’d cook the fish we caught on an open fire, also. Just remember to keep it simple and loose! Ours got so big that one time I had 1000 people in my back yard! That was way too crazy! So, you had the perfect manageable number!

Awe…. That made me cry! So good to video meet all those patreons! You guys all did such a great job! Great fun! Thanks for entertaining me! Dang! Why wasn’t I there? I hope I live long enough to be able to experience that, also!

Great event, I'm sure. I do believe you have every reason to seek legal recourse against the captain who struck your boat. He is charged with maintaining control over his vessel at all times. Getting "sucked in" due to the reckless proximity of the boat does not excuse the consequences. Had he taken more prudent, evasive actions from the get go he would never have come close to hitting you. Re: moving up on the anchor - does not mean at all that you were underway - the anchor itself was still in place. Your action was an attempt ot evade the consequences of his carelessness. I'm sure further investigation is needed to make a case but you should be hearing from his insurance company inregardess of your case. Such a collision should cause him to loose his licemse - if he has one.

Such an amazing week! So fortunate 🙏🏼 Thanks for the memories! I really hope you all here in Patreon one day get to meet them and experience SLV. It’s so much better than I even anticipated!

thank you for this video. Brings back great memories of sailing bareboats 50 years ago on my honeymoon and owning a sailboat until 4 years ago. Quite a great way to enjoy vicariously!

What have you guys done to me! After those two hour long episodes, every time I click on a new vid I'm secretly hoping it'll be that long 😉

and oh my goodness - Colorado crew! So cool knowing some fellow Coloradans made it on board :-)

I hope to meet you all one day, but I am quite sad I missed out on meeting David.... lol!

Just an unfortunate incident. It sounds like your description had both vessels moving with engines on. In retrospect, the commercial captain should not have come so close as to leave no margin for correction. He probably saw you move and figured you would continue to keep moving out of the way. You just might have been fine if you did not try move. No good deed goes unpunished. Not as unfortunate as this incident https://youtube.com/shorts/0wkOLww-nLQ?feature=share

While the blue color looks neat now, I think the white looks cleaner and it makes the area look bigger. If you look at really nice homes you will find they usually go with white. White is timeless. Best wishes! :)

I was just bout to ask last week if we were going to see the regatta vids

So much fun! I so happy it all went well, except for the bump. Peace.

This video made me shed a tear- as life should. The genuine warmth had me smiling the whole time! I love you guys-

Wow! This is amazing! Love living vicariously through these videos 😊

Wow that looked like a great time. Fun! 😊⛵

That dude should have waited for you to get away safely, i.e. til you were off anchor, before hammering in. Or at least communicated better rather than just wanting to get things done. Safety first, on the water more than everywhere.

What a great experience for those lucky 21

Delightful! Looked like great fun.

Ahh looks so amazing guys. So happy you all had the best time :)

Looks like everyone had a great time. Awesome!
