Aww man, such a fun vacation! I was going to bring up your time living on a boat, but you already mentioned it. It's really come full circle, and everything is the result of hard work and dedication. I really admire how you go about your life, Luke. It's something that I would be lucky to emulate. I know I've said it elsewhere, but it bears repeating: that anarchy shirt looks so cool!
Thanks for the link, Luke! It's cool that they accept Bitcoin. I was going to say that they shoud since they're all about anarchy. I hope they open it up to different cryptos soon, particularly STEEM haha!
Looks like a great time :) Growing up we would take a motor boat (speedboat?) out on Lake Erie and for some reason I always loved going "below deck" to that front section and laying down there - no one could ever figure out why I loved that nausea inducing location, but I liked it for some reason feeling all the waves. Another time a friend and I tried to sleep overnight in a canoe - that did not work.
I snuggled with my girls in the "V-Birth" (that's what they call the forward cabin a sailboat) today. I also love feeling the boat rocking up and down and the sound of the water against the hull.
Hey @lukestokes I went to school at Newport Beach Elementary and lived on the Ocean Front right at the Balboa Pier in the 1960's.....I even used to go up on the roof of the Pavilion at Sunset to take down the American Flag. By the way the coolest place in the World for anyone to Grow Up in my opinion.
@lukestokes I know it well. I am so glad you and your Family got to have this wonderful experience during This Christmas Season. I could Share with you all the Cool Places to see and go but of course I would boar the heck out of most people that have not been there yet................
Hola amigo, me alegra mucho que estes disfrutando con tu hermosa familia, tus hermanos se parecen mucho a ti, un paseo en Velero es muy placentero, la briza, el mar, los delfines, es hermoso, lo que veo es que allá hace mucho frió, la temperatura del agua cual es? no se bañaron?
Hacía un poco de frío, pero no está mal. El agua está fría, estoy seguro, pero no fuimos a nadar. Dicho esto, nos dirigimos a la playa hoy. Espero poder encontrar mi viejo traje de neopreno.
"Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free" I remembered this song by Cristopher Cross reading your post. You guys sure had fun!
Merry Christmas my dear @lukestokes your post is so cheerful ...hope you enjoy your vacation and have a nice time for ever.... God bless you an d your beautiful family 😍
Amazing family i must state Lukes. Nothing is more enthising then to spend quality time with your near and dear ones. Its a treat indeed. Wish u Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2018. Regards Nainaz.

Sungguh luar biasa.. Bahagia rasa jika bisa ke laut kembali.. Sayang nya boat kami telah karam.. Sukses selalu selalu untuk anda.. Senang melihat dan terkenag masa saat di lautan lepas.
That was so nice, it looks like a nice way to spend holidays with family. Wasn't anybody sea sick? (I hope I have written it correct). I know that we did somethink like that with the family (okay not the cool, but it was sailing) and my mother was not feeling so good, but I loved to look at the water as we were crossing it with a small ship. That's all I can remember :) Hope everybody enjoyed this experience!
Oh yeah, that looks nice. We're only in December, and already my wife is after me to get her to the beach. It's awfully cold here in Utah, but at least we got to enjoy a white Christmas. :)
It is great living at the ocean. We live on the Pacific. I don't currently own a boat but would love to. What a great day you guys had sailing. Looks like everyone had mega fun. Really great to see the dolphins come out to play!
Cool!
I lived and worked on a boats in Newport harbor for 7 years, it is a great place to sail around. The outer islands are amazing too. Thanks for the flash back! Nice shirt! I forgot to ask where you got it at steemfest. Hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas.
Wow, very cool? Where did you work? Many of my family (mom, dad, brother, sister) at one point or another worked at Lido Sailing Club. It's now called Winward Sailing club. As for the shirt, you can get it here: http://www.incitetees.com/
I remember Winward Sailing club! I worked in the fuel dock, Island Marine Fuel and a couple shipyards as well as fishing boats. Hope you had a wonderful visit!
Hello @lukestokes, It seems that you really enjoy traveling with your family by ship, I like your post, thank you for sharing your experience, I will wait for your latest post, greeting friendship for all friends steemit
It's refreshing to see a family happy, together, intact and in the sea together. Loved seeing Adventures. Gonna read your post on how it shaped your life. When I was reading and watching the video, I was thinking, "That's what honorable men do."
Looks like a great time. There is nothing like sailing to me. Something magical about when the sails go up, the motor goes off, and the wind of mother nature pushes you along elegantly. I've been hooked for a while now :)
I wish I could upvote your post 2x. It is super amazing to see the romanticism in sailing. I sometimes try to learn laser sailing with the help of my team at the International Sailing Academy. After seeing your post, I thought that I should learn some laser sailing tips from you. Haha just kidding. Keep it up, man. Cheers to Laser Sailing
This is certainly a problem which needs to be dealt with. It's frustrating but unless enough whales with equal power regularly use up all their voting power to flag it, it will continue.
Some argue it's like buying a mining rig and then mining with it. Some people buy Steem Power and then game the system to take rewards. It's a big discussion which I've talked about at length here: Self-Voting: Scammy Behavior, Rational ROI, or Something Else?
Either way, it's not at all related to my post here. If you want to discuss that, we can do so in chat on rocket chat or in discord.
I looked into this abuse a bit more and realized how bad it is. I wrote this post today about it, even though I'm on vacation with my family. Thankfully, most of those comments have been knocked down to $0.

Very cool! The boat I lived on was off the 15th street dock on the Lido Island side. :)

jajaja, que bien, sino consigues aqui tenemos varios que te pueden servir. Saludos a tu esposa y besos para los niños.
This looks so awesome. I would love to do a sailing trip one day. Especially when you are together with the family.

I've always wanted to go cruising around on a boat. Looks like you had a great time with your family. No rules and no rulers.
Great post..And enjoy your vacation..Carry on my friend..
Great post and wonderful jolly family. You shared some great picture and an amusing video. Thanks dear.

Thank you!
Enjoy this vacation.
Looks like a nice day out on the water. Lucky, the wind is always howling here in South Africa.
hello sir
yup...I'm envious.
Wow what an amazing Christmas! Looks like you all had a great time and a lot of fun :)
Looks like fun! Love the shirt, and I noted the Incite Tees link above.
I met them at PorcFest years ago. I first mentioned incite tees last year in this post: The Loop: Why Voting and Revolutions Don't Work.
I believe I'll have to have one of those soon!
Love it. Enjoying life with the family is quality time!
Steem on!
What an amazing day you guys had sailing in the ocean! :) Love that there were a lot of kiddo captains on board lol! :P

We had a blast and no one got seasick, thankfully. :)
a trip to the boat is something ... man is getting rid of all the troubles.
Wow looks like an amazing day! What a cool thing to see wild dolphins and sea lions :)
Newport Beach is an awesome chunk of California. Looks like you had a blast. Thanks for sharing.
Brent
great adventure at any age!
Oh yeah, that looks nice. We're only in December, and already my wife is after me to get her to the beach. It's awfully cold here in Utah, but at least we got to enjoy a white Christmas. :)

Yeah, that was definitely the highlight of the day.
Awesome post Luke!
Looks like real fun :)
This picture actually reminds me of Jack from Titanic.
-> Does it feel like, you have the world in your hands? haha
Wish you und your family much fun and a great time :)
Hahah! I've never been compared to DiCaprio before. First time for everything, I guess.
Hahaha yeah that's how it goes!
Leo is an awesome guy haha
Cool!

Looks a lovely trip with everyone smiling but way to much water for my liking :)
Looks like a really great time! And I like the whole undertone of gratitude, as well... you wear anarchy very well!
Anarchy agrees with me. :)
Looks like a great time.
I was shoveling snow....
