Rick and Maddy,
Every time I come onboard I learn something and grow from it. This time was no different. These are memories that I will go back to often. I’ve seen incredible sunsets, astonishing sunrises, some of the most turquoise waters in the Caribbean, the moon rising over the ocean, dust all the way from the Sahara desert. I met some of the nicest people from all walks in life, made life long friendships, eaten some of the most delicious foods in the Caribbean….and learned a thing or to about the cruising lifestyle. You, Maddy and the Moore household we consider to be family. Looking forward to more episodes of the SSL Journey.
Cheers my friends until we meet again 😎

Bitchin’!
Hey Rick & Maddie, no need to defend why, or where you are going to sail next. You are the Captain of your vessel and you will determine where your next adventure will be.
Hey guys, I’m here for the ride. Thank you! 🤙🏼

You are right about the sailing lifestyle. It's the people and there lifestyle you meet. The memories, the laughter, taking part in what they do on a daily basis and how they smile and it's about this great gift that is bestowed into our lives by a higher power and sharing knowledge and smiles with each other. As the rolling stones said " A smile relieves the heart that grieves and only love can conquer hate. I wish you and Madaleina the best from Anguilla. Chris Mahoney.

I love your videos and all that you do for us. I love the lifestyle you live and your positive energy that you use to motivate and make people around you feel the love. Thank You Captain Rick and Mrs Maddie

We are truly gonna miss Mr. Rick Boyd, for he has brought laughter to the crew, wishing him the best in France, you always hate to say good bye but this does not mean the end for there will be another adventure when he boards Sophisticated Lady for another adventure. Gonna miss this man he certainly made me smile. Peace to Mr. Boyd.

I enjoy you two so very much! The wondefful way you two work togather and are so patient and kind with each other, genuienly care for each other, is refreshing and just great for lack of a more flowering word. Thank you for sharing. Be blessed and always, fair winds and following seas! Boomer!

Exactly the sailing experience is also getting to know the people of different countries. Experience the sailing life!

[noreenswartz]

Loving all your videos captain Rick your the one in charge don’t let anyone defeat your adventure continue on with your travels and experience all you both can 🤗

[thommeyer]

Love the new Highfield...can't wait to see the battery propulsion system! Good to see Maddie smiling again, and more mobile. Q&A was great...and yes, Rick...if all we want to see is a boat sailing through the water, there are other channels to watch. I think what all your dedicated viewers want, is to get a true vision of what actual cruising life is like...thank you for providing that! Ciao!!!

El-Capitan SSL 563 will be forever in my happy memory thanks for honorable mention, El-Capitan with two sophisticated ladies and a brand new dingy you've gotta be one of the happiest guys in the southern hemisphere, tell Maddie her hair style during Q&A looked great also your explanation on how your plan your ports and stays was rite on until next episode God bless you Maddie and the crew.❤

[ABeriault]

Yes Distant Shores are in the Netherlands designing a new boat!
I remember driving to lake Simcoe years ago in the 80s with my huge sailboard on the car roof all the way from Quebec City...!
Those where my first sailing years.
Cheers you two!

Captain Rick, your a lucky man to have such a beautiful Mermaid as Maddie.

[Tom-pxfn]

Love the outakes, LOL, might be a good add once in a while. Great to see Maddi smile again nothing worse than an ankle injury. As many have said before to see the places and people is more important than watching waves go by, much more interesting. Cheers to you Capitain and thank you for giving so many of us around the world something to look forward to weekly.

[Gunshy]

Rick worked bloody hard on your sail and before. Thanks and regards to you rick. I'm the same age as you (approximately) love your energy. By the way I live in Australia,
and no one is going to take "Tiki" from you. All you have to do is put her into quarantine for a couple of weeks and all will be fine. (the vets will love her). Maddy looks great, what a smile. You're a lucky captain sport. Love your channel.

[thomasspainhour]

Caio Maddie you are so loved and precious. Rick thanks for sharing your journey with us NC, USA 🇺🇸

[albanoabrantes]

😆😅😅😅👍👍👍 yeah Happy 😊 Sunday and thank you guys for sharing your story with the Planet 🌍🌎🌏⛵⚓⛵ Captain Rick your explanation is the best. And Madalena get well soon 😊🙏 xoxo 🇧🇷🇬🇧🇺🇲🇵🇹

[ryanparker]

Thanks for the candid comments on an inelegant conversation. Most would avoid engaging in the response, but it shows your willingness to have a conversation with anyone, even those who may not understand your goals! Keep up the good work.

[sherryatthelake]

I think it’s your choice where you sail and what you show in your videos. To heck what a few might say in the chat. I like the motorcycle rides too. Well I enjoy it all really. I’ve been watching your videos for some years now. I remember when you didn’t post as much because your $$$ was in commercial filming. I forgot the name of your first parrot but I loved watching his antics and his interaction with you. Now Tiki is special too. I love Madeline and I can see how special she is. I am glad you found each other. Take care!

[billkrause]

Rick & Maddie, I'm here watching because I love your lifestyle, your projects, and the company you keep, This is a very very very active channel, thanks for the uploads that entertain us. A thumbs up always....

[davebeck]

Always one that has an attitude, and knows everything.
I wouldn't have given him the time of day, Cap.
Oh well Maddi appears much better and you now have the house to yourselves.
New tender looks great, I'm interested in the new electric outboard.
Be safe, have fun Cap, my best to Maddi.
