Sailing Abroad
Добавлен 12 дек 2021
I decided to change my course of life. I got my boat S/V WindChime and are starting a full time sailing adventure. Follow me as I will begin travels of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean islands. I will document and share my crazy idea with really no plan while living on a tiny boat on the ocean traveling as I explore our world around us. I will focus on the Gulf of Mexico, Florida's coast and the whole island chain of the Bahamas.

Hurricane over Mexican peninsula with 200mph winds.
This is crazy weather. All I can do is prepare for the worst. Hope for the best.
@@sailingabroad6528I'm sorry that you have to keep going through this
Beautiful
Love it when it pours! That would be so relaxing
I love it too when it rains I wasn't being like that bcuz of the rain it was the wind
Now this is 2 years ago, does it blow your mind that you were concerned about crossing that patch of water and not at all concerned about driving up that massive incline in the road at 60+mph with a lorry next to you. I know what would freak me out more! Also, nice beaches over there!
What blows my mind is I'm still sailing and doing boat projects and still going strong.
Loving these vids. I'm just going to watch them all in one go now. I've never seen the cradle your boat was in before. (I'm in the UK) is it common over there?
@@patchcaborn yes it's common but for motor boats not common for sailboats.
That drive looked horrendous. I'm looking forward to your adventures, the boat looks so cool, you must be very pleased with it
It was a tiring drive for sure.
That was crazy I thought you were going to fall off the boat. You're going to have to show me how to do that.
That wind sounds crazy. Look at the water it's crazy❤😂
Lolol 😂😂 I'm glad your engine works. I learned something new.
I love sea cows thanks for sharing
Looks like so much fun ❤🎉
Thank you for sharing this. I learned something from you today. Use the right tools.
Awesome job. You did excellent explaining what you were doing. I really appreciate you showing everyone that you need the right equipment and the right tools for the job.❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful!
Good explanation. As a newbie I had one occur on a lake that had intermittent winds and wind direction. It just all of a sudden shifted directions and put us into a jibe spin! Learned about jibes the hard way.
I'm glad you all made it safely. Thanks for watching and please subscribe and feel free to let me know what else you would like to see a video or explanation of.
This has helped me understand sooooooo much in just 1 video. Id love to see more. Having a physical boat in view helps me understand but ive not seen any without being a 2d image
@@adventurously_random I understand that. Thanks for watching and please subscribe. The Adventure is just beginning.
Yep I was done with the storm I was ready to run and hide
❤ Paradise
Thank you.
It's such a beautiful thing to see in person!❤❤
Ooo the red head 😏
Yep, it's like "I just bought the super rare red 72' Chevelle with the crager mags, not many around" then they go to the Chevy show where 30 are lol.
nice
Thanks
So I looked up the meaning of the yellow purple orange flag. Is it you or your partner that is non binary? I feel confused.
No idea what your talking about. Go back to school and study a little harder in geography.
It's a Columbian flag.
You'll get the main down just like I do bro, holding on with one hand while laying the main on the boom and letting loose the halyard with the other,lol. Then lashing her down.
Learned real quick I did. Got them down no problem.
That's the life in the channel bro, some slow and are courteous,some just kick up a wake. But those schmucks out on the open water are just idiots.
Oh they sound like they have been sleeping.........
Another useful tip is to only drink one bottle of vodka before making a YT video
I looked at the video one more time and I didn't see anything about what you mentioned.
Beautiful ❤
So beautiful ❤
Hey Buddy. I like the West Marine Zodiac. Strong little boats.
Mine is tied to the side of my boat it's a rib 310 hard v bottom I love it.
Oh that's why you wanted those cleats, I forgot you have the track on the toe rail. Doesn't that get in the way when the jib is fully open with the lines running over the lifelines and stanctions?
No it don't the bottom of the jib sail resting on the safety lines at full sail is very normal it's just part of it if you look at my past sailing videos you should see how the jib rest on the safety lines.
I wanted them because it's the best thing to do without drilling holes on a boat. The track will handle way way more load than a cleat bolted to the deck so it was the best decision to go with Schafer track cleats.
@@sailingabroad6528 mine are too far inboard for that, gotta make a c channel mount. But should work good, I can extend the mount for the stanction relocation also.
As usual informative and good.❤
It was hot that day
You did an awesome job explaining everything that you were doing. Great video
It was hot during the video
Yes, I bet it was! You're hot😢
Excellent demonstration on land......would appreciate more video on different condition and what to do with the jib when jibeing
Ahhh that would be a perfect video I will get one posted about that for sure. Thank you for the input. I will get one done here for you very soon.
It's going to be hot going south in summer! Just a warning. Go north in summer and south in winter!
I'm a person that loves the heat anything between 92 and 104 is perfect
Never trust your engine! Learn to short tack in close quarters! When you use your engine, make sure your sail covers are off and you can raise them quickly when your engine quits. Yes you are right about people living on junked up boats.
I very rarely use my engine and tacking is a thing I've learned to do I mainly use the engine to go through and under bridges other than that I just like to know when I need it it works. Last thing I need is a engine failure going through a inlet with strong tidal currents and a draw bridge waiting to go back down.
A 28 footer is a little on the small side for living aboard ?
Nah different strokes different folks. I've always loved the smaller boats.
Duuuuude. Your best video yet. Love how candid and real this is. Keep it up! You guys are gonna go far if you keep it up.
We will! Fo sho
I had a yt channel once building my alu cat. Wasn't worth the effort since first you don't have any views or ways of making money off it so its just another extra hobby .
True I figured I can do this more of a document for my travels hopefully one day it will get noticed but till then I will just keep going hoping for the best. Thank you for viewing.
Just remember when your off shore on a passage and something breaks, no fuel stations out at sea.....
You never went off shore in your videos. I told everyone I know to look at your stuff that your not what your saying you are. All talk for a image you think is so amazing. Stop pretending and do something serious for once on your whole channel stop leaving comments to look important it's not smart.
@@JennaHudson-ux5on I think your confusing going off shore with going on a passage. On my trip down I stayed within 20 miles of land and for good reason. The boat I bought turned out to have quite a few problems. Actually often I have wished I would have just finished my Islander 36 and not gotten this Columbia because of a lot of those issues. But that decision was made. And also the reason why instead of taking the shortcuts down the coast a lot of my trip was in the ICW, staying in areas that the boat could handle with it's issues, especially with the problem of using a outboard on the transom of a boat designed to use a inboard, but that's the way it was bought from a friend . I'm actually getting ready to put together a video of his ill-fated trip on his catamaran and also things that made me realize what shape my Columbia was actually in because of his trip. But as for going offshore, I've done that quite alot in my life and now as for going international or running consecutive days offshore with no autopilot on my boat that I haven't done yet and honestly with the shape my Columbia was in it would have been extremely foolish and careless. That is why that trip stayed mostly in the ICW and hopping inlet to inlet down the coast staying close to shore in case of a failure on the boat. But then I did also manage to sail (and mostly motor) from Colonial Beach Virginia to meet up with Sailing Abroad in Pasadena Florida for my first in my life long trip aboard my own boat with a 20hp outboard on the transom, previous trips where mostly day runs and fishing trips on boats. It's not a huge accomplishment for international sailors but to date my longest straight trip running about 1/3rd of the great loop. And depending on which way I decide to go with my decision on my boat this little coastal cruiser might be getting rebuilt for a trip much,much longer than sailing the Caribbean. So my question to you is,what have you done with your life? I'm living mine.
@@PennWolfsSailingAdventuresmy life it's dang sure not lying to myself and others. But keep going on your track. One day you might actually make it if you make smart decisions.
@@JennaHudson-ux5on Believe what you want to Unlike other RUclipsrs I don't have to put up a bunch of fake stuff, make my daily sailing trips into months long content just to fool people of what reality is. And the funniest part is my life really does take a lot of turns, but like I said believe what you want to do you can sleep at night, doesn't change reality at all.
Wow.
I just use peroxide and iodine.
Oh don't remind me, I'm still trying to get stuff off the boat I brought.
The biggest problem I get is the freaking batteries and remembering to check them once i get busy doing things.
I get them when I drag the bottom here sometimes
Hey ❤ newest Subscribers we will be living on our boat very soon can't wait 😊
That's awesome
