Will the Projects Ever End? Anchored in the FL Keys
Another fun week of learning and fixing things. Luckily I've grown to enjoy the endless projects and it keeps me occupied with all my free time. Big thanks to Mantus Marine for hooking me up with a discount on my new M1 45lb anchor. I'm excited to get out there and give it a try overnight here soon.

Decided to run down to Key West to explore some sites and also ordered some new parts that should be arriving in the next video. Thanks for watching!

A Full Weekend at Anchor in the Keys
Просмотров 5 тыс.14 дней назад
Tune in for this week's showcase of what went wrong. There's always something to fix or learn when living on a boat. The outboard started acting up and I graciously donated 2 phones to the local dolphin community. At least the sunsets still make it worth the trouble. I appreciate everyone for watching and feel free to follow me on Instagram @damon.rust and if you'd like to help support the adve...

Why I Live on a Sailboat in the FL Keys at 21/yo

Wanted to share a little bit about my story in this video. I hadn't touched much on it in the past as most of my viewers were friends and family who already knew this. I really appreciate all the extra support recently and let me know if there's anything you would like to know about what it's like living out here full time. If you like to help support the adventure check out my links below Inst...
Island Hopping in the Keys - Solo Sailing
Просмотров 12 тыс.Месяц назад
The time has come to sail down a few islands here in the keys to get closer to my job I have found. After the past month of prep the trip went pretty smooth besides loosing my tiny outboard due to improperly securing it :( Other than that it was a fun day sail over. My buddy Tom also helped me drop the 330lb rocna anchor by my boat and I secured the 150ft of chain to it completing my makeshift ...
Anchors and Outboards

Another week of prep for the move a few islands down here in a week. Purchased a 330lb rocna anchor as well as a 2005 5hp mercury outboard engine for the dinghy. In the next video I plan to sail over to the new anchorage and using the depth finder scope out the perfect spot to drop the rocna.

More and More Boat Projects in the Keys
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.2 месяца назад
As anyone with a boat will tell you the projects are never ending. At least if you want your boat to stay above the water forever. I am prepping the boat to try and sail a few keys closer to my new job to cut back on the daily commute. Now that the engine is running and the sails are up the next step is to find a proper brand name outboard for the dinghy and use the current one as backup. Also ...

Anchoring in a Waterspout - Solo Sailing FL Keys
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.4 месяца назад
To be honest with you as I was dragging in that first storm with each flash of lightning I saw the bridge getting closer and closer. For awhile there after I had deployed all my anchors and was still drifting I truly thought the boat was doomed. Obviously looking back I could have prepared in many different ways for this but there is a lot I still don't know. Unfortunately I seem to have a habi...

    You might be interested in researching the Overseas Railroad / Flagler Railroad. Super fascinating history, between the construction of it, the devastating loss of rolling stock, track, and US Army personnel during a hurricane, and the conversion to The Overseas Highway. Really interesting what they did to some of the rail bridges to accommodate auto traffic.

    Way to go and follow your dreams!! Check out the story of Robin Lee Graham, a 16-year-old who sailed solo around the world in a 24-foot sloop back in 1965. He wrote a book (Voyage of the Dove) and they made a movie of the same name. It's on RUclips.
