    Sorry to Anthony and Chuck for not replying. For some reason time to time
    a posted comment does not allow me to REPLY. It just has no REPLY option
    below the comment. I was able to give a thumbs up and least for the
    comment and I just sent a message to your channel so I hope those made it
    to you both.

    Does anyone know why this happens or how to fix it?

    And of course thanks for the comments Anthony! If I ever make it to
    Australia with the boat we will head out for a sail! And thank you Chuck
    for the comments and subscribing! All the best to you both in 2015!!

    I’ve sent you a message on your Google page Louie! I hope you get it. I
    had the same issue with your comment not having a REPLY option. :/

    Thanks for developing this channel. When I started looking to live aboard a
    few months back I began a search for information like I always do. There is
    not much real sailing information on the net that jumps out at you. You
    have to really search deeper and you may find something but I find that
    strange as sailing is an activity that goes back centuries and MANY people
    do it so I can’t understand why there isn’t more online as to instruction.
    Anyway that is how I found you. YT is a great resource. Thanks again. P.S.
    I also picked up the guitar again thanks to YT. :)

    Hi. Just found your awesome channel! Looks like it will take a while, but
    I’ll get through all of the video eventually.
    I’ve been wanting to move on board in the Vancouver area for a several
    years now. Problem is it is extremely hard to find liveaboard marinas
    around here other than Shelter Island that doesn’t have a 10 year wait
    list. Only other ones I know of are Heather Marina & Spruce Marina in
    False Creek, and their wait is 10 or more years, plus my catamaran won’t
    fit. My partner was interested in moving on, but she has reservations
    about moving our 14 month old toddler out to Shelter Island due to its
    seemingly isolated location. Was Shelter Island’s location something that
    bothered you before you moved there and how do you feel about its location
    now? Do you have any thoughts about what the challenges would be due to
    the location if you had your kids there full time? Are there any full time
    kids that liveaboard at Shelter Island now? Muchas gracias in advancias if
    you’ve got time to reply.

    Hi Alfy, thank you for another of your great videos. It is really
    inspirational and I do enjoy watching them. It’s amazing how you get used
    to living aboard and finding the comfort in smaller spaces while spending
    your efforts on what’s really important. Have fun and all the best wishes
    to you and your loved ones! Have a very happy New Year!

    Another awesome video Alfy! You are a true inspiration 🙂 I’m very grateful
    we got to connect through YouTube. I hope we’ll one-day run into each other
    in some remote anchorage out there in the real world. Here is wishing a
    very happy and prosperous New Year to you and all those around you :)

    UM, how do you stay warm on your- – oh. funny, I find it as how do you
    keep it cool on the boat? I relise your heater is propane and it does burn
    a little cooler than diesel my problem is if I have mine burning as yours
    in the video I wake up around 2 or 3 and it’s around 80 to 90* in the boat
    so I have to open the hatch some, I finally adjusted it as low as I can and
    stays around 70 to 75. If I went any lower it would carbon up the stove.
    I’m going out on the first and it’s cold enough that should be nice. also
    have a tiller pilot now so can stay inside and be warm if some of the logs
    are gone yet! If you ever get over this way (gabriola) give me a shout
    maybe we can meet up some where. Vern.

    Strange that I have not found your channel before. I thought I had traded
    messages and subscribed with most of the sailors here.

    Nice to find you. Subscribed…

    Thanks for sharing this video Alfy. I assume we’re the same age (1970) with
    two young kids and can relate to your lifestyle. This was a great video.
    Happy new year.

    I just stumbled upon one of your videos today and have now watched several
    of them. They’re quite fascinating. I too have dreamed of the liveaboard
    life. Happy New Year to you too.

    Video, makes it awesome for us Subscribers. Cheers

    Thanks for that Alfy. Very inspirational and intensifies my desire to get
    back out to the ocean soon! I’ve really been getting a lot out of your
    videos, keep them coming! Best wishes for the new year. Brad.

    You commented on Mads channel “Sail Life” so I’ll give you the same
    question I asked him. Doesnt the ice cause hull damage? In my area all
    boats are pulled before the freeze andon my lake they even lower the water
    level before freeze to save the docks from damage.
