  1. Actually Kika was a 'very bad' drug mule as well as 'very bad' at lying about it.
    If she used "nature's pocket" they never would've found it.
    "Nature's Pocket"? Females have two, Males have one. I think we all know what I'm talking about. LOL!

  2. Hey guys, great video, as always. With your First Aid Audit, why not put it in the form of an Excel [or similar] spreadsheet, then you can also include useby/replacement dates in a searchable format. Of course, you have probably already done this, but that was my first thought on seeing Kika talking about the First Aid kit. Greetings from Perth, West Australia. Cheers, Frank.

  3. Our first grandson was born last month. We decided to get an introduction to first aid focusing on respiration and heart/circulation/pulse.
    All the family was involved, uncles and aunties, grands and parents. Be prepared, no matter what level, is difference between, well you get it.

  4. Oh, God, I just had a flashback. I was inadvertenly a drug smuggler back in 1983 only across the bay from Gibraltar. I was coming back from Ceuta in North Africa to Algerciaras (opposite Gibraltar) and some Americans (I'm British) had put a bit of hashish in my bag that I was unaware of. They got stopped and searched, but I didn't. I was furious and almost stabbed them. Keep a close eye on your bags near any border.

  5. Thumbs up on medical inventory. Did you consider asking a physician for additional (prescription) medication? What's your plan on shore support if one of you suffers severe injury? What if one of you is incapacitated/needs constant care?

  6. All your videos are beyond excellent! I noticed that lately you don't use the Cape Horn windvane on open ocean passages but the B&G pilot. Do you have it set to steer by compass heading or B&G wind direction? I'd like to know because on my old boat I had a Wood Freeman pilot that steered only by compass heading and we used it all the way from Cape Flattery to SF under spinnacker where a human helmsman would get tired steering after 20 min. I have a B&G pilot on my present boat but 50 year old Siget Windpoint and Windspeed that still work with some repairs over the years and know them well enough to repair. Your opinion would be appreciated.

  7. As a combat lifesaver, this was a great video and a great course, a well stocked medical kit is a must, have a full trauma kit for my family, just in case. Water survival is a tough course, but necessary for you and others that work and live on the water.

  8. I think the best part of these kinds of courses is when you get to use them to save someones life. I was trained in lifesaving as a teenager, then one day as an adult I saw someone drowning. All the training took over in a fraction of a second, I did not even have to think about it, bang all of it was right there. Right into action, caught the guy going down with a lung full of water, brought him back to the surface and he spewed out all the water(fortunately), got him to shore and he recovered completely. The guy was my cousins best friend! So treat all that training with respect, it can work miracles. Great episode!!!!
