Massive ISSUE After Buying Our First Sailing Boat
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 мар 2022
- First week on board and what a rollercoaster of emotion it was. Having just bought and moved onto our dream sailing boat, we were hit with the obstacle of where to keep it. Being told to leave (with all marinas, everywhere full), is just not really what you want to hear when you have just bought something 40ft..however, our luck changed and we managed to find a space.
However, we weren't out of the woods yet, we had to move the boat for the first time and then a storm hit and we spent the next few days sheltering from the rain and consistently checking our mooring lines.
Plummeted head first into the harsh reality of boat life (but wouldn't wish for it to be any different)!

About Us
We are Becka and Zach, a couple who, in 2020, dreamt of sailing off into the big blue. Trouble is- we were in a pandemic, had a university degree to finish, on a student budget, only had ever sailed dingies, oh and didn’t have a boat. The dream seemed not only unrealistic but pretty insane.
However, we worked hard, finished our degrees, worked as many hours as physically possible, saved with all our might, got experience and in March 2022 bought our very own sailboat, Teulu. Having little sailing experience and being a young couple, we have encountered a tonne of hurdles and made plenty of mistakes! but for every downfall, there has always been a reason to dust ourselves off and carry on.
We hope you can join us as we sail around the world and keep #bloodydoingit
#sailing #boatlife
I watch several different sailing channels. Ive checked out dozens of them. when i stumbled upon yours i thought to myself "please be interesting". I am beyond pleased to tell you that just through the two videos of you getting the boat to getting a slip I have laughed, cried, smiled. I thank you very much.
Thats such a lovely comment to wake up to- thanks so much for checking us out and giving us a chance! 😊 glad you felt all the emotions- life is a wild ride!
I really like the idea of a pilot house style sailboat and I love those long windows allowing lots of natural light in.
Thats what attracted us to this particular model too!
I love the raw emotion throughout the videos.....can really feel the emotional seesaw newbies go through when buying a yacht for the first time.....thanks for keeping it real. May your adventure(s) bring you the happiness you both deserve!
So glad you like the vids- it sure is a see saw of emotion! Thanks so much 😊
Just found your channel today and had to binge watch all of your posts. I smiled through all from start to finish and have been trying to think of how I can capture the uniqueness of your story, filming and editing….refreshing is what it is. Great story, well presented and there isn’t a soul pulling for you, knowing you are gong to feel all the ups and downs in front of you. This is better than Downton Abbey. Thank you.
Wow Henry, to wake up to such a lovely comment has just put a spring in our step today- thankyou so much! We are so glad it has you smiling, makes all the editing worth it 😊 Lots of ups and downs in front but the hardest hikes often have the best views so excited for the journey ahead- and even more excited to share it with you 😊
...and I just discovered them today!
I grew up on the Chesapeake Bay and have been looking for a boat in which to cruise the Pacific for 2 years, and have kind'a decided on a Nauticat.
The sense of relief getting the mooring really came across in this video. Definitely the couple to watch start their adventure on their hard worked for home. Good luck to you both for your future!! All the best. RD
There was a whole lot of relief- ill tell you that 😅 thanks so much for your support- we really appreciate it!
Congratulations. Great news about the mooring.
Zach, avoid coiling around your elbow. This doesn't help and just introduces more tangles. Roll between your thumb and first finger of your right hand and place the loop onto your upturned left fingers. Draw out the new section with your right hand, twist again and place on your left fingers again to remove twists and tensions. Hope this helps.
Thankyou so much. He never usually coils like that- not sure why he was 🤣 we got taught the way you explained on our day skipper course and it was much better. Will do that next time! 😊
I enjoy the editing. And the segment at 10:40 is super relaxing, the wind, rain and creaking. Turn that in to a 10hour video and people would fall asleep to it.
Thanks Russell- we are really glad you enjoyed it. Maybe thats where the future of our channel is going- Sailing ASMR 😆
You two will positively make it past any obstacles. The reason I can say this is each time your happy, sad or even feeling overwhelmed the first thing you do is push it all aside and fall into each other's arms for a hug.
Keep this up and nothing will stand in your way for long.
Proud of you guys!
Thanks so much David!! Hugs fix everything 😊🙈
Solid advice :)
I've only recently discovered your channel, but I've really been enjoying your sailing videos thus far. I'm really looking forward to seeing where your adventures take you in the years to come!
Thanks so much! Glad you are enjoying them- can’t wait to share future adventures with you 😀
I love finding new sailing channels. Great video! Looking forward to following your adventures.
Thanks so much 😊
Truly engaging. Although, I'm as closer to the end of my 'working life' as you guys are to the start of your I, probably like many recent subscribers, harbour a similar dream. If you can keep the quality up I'm confident you guys will quickly gain subscribers/supports to move from boat owners to full-time cruisers! Can't wait to see more of the boat and you guys making your dreams come true. Very best of luck to you both.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment Chris- we are excited to share our adventures on here and connect with people at all different stages in their lives! Variety is the spice of life 😀 have a lovely day!
You’re such a lovely couple, people just can’t help themselves but smooth out your journey where they can. .
And with that you've got me hooked! Can not wait to see the adventures begin, plus I need to watch someone go through it before I do!
Thanks so much! Yes, absolutely, we can be the guinea pigs 😆
Awesome 🤩 I need too watch also. A ketch, my dreamboat🥰🥰
Congratulations on getting a boat, let the adventure begin. I lived on my sailboat for 20 years, best time ever. Enjoy every moment , Peace, love and fruit!
Thanks so much! I bet that was incredible. Have a lovely day 😊⛵️
Your both special, compassionate, courageous people, I'm loving ur channel and ur story, let's go sailing⛵⚓🌞🌈
Thats such a kind, lovely comment to read! Thankyou so much! Counting down the days until we sail, hopefully wont be long 😊
Can’t tell you enough how i love your videos. Keep’m coming, and yes, a boat tour would be appriciated. Good luck!
Thanks Rob ☺️ a boat tour will come, just a few more videos first
Nothing but Smiles for you guys :-) ........From a guy sitting in his bathrobe sipping his morning tea, getting ready for his next home project! Stay Safe!
Haha thanks Cesar! Hope it goes well for you 😊
And thanks to you guy's also .... you are doing such a great job on blogging !!! very professional :) .. love the show 👍
Thanks for your support Shaun! We appreciate it ☺️
Hi 👋 Shaun, how are you doing?
@@Godwinpounds4333 Howdy ... I'm good ,,,, That's one large green house there !!
@@shaunoakes6803 yah! That’s my green farm house. It’s my pleasure meeting with Shaun. Where are you texting from?
Just discovered your channel and watched my first video. Very impressive! Follow your dreams and cherish the memories. Best to you both! Please head somewhere warm. You made me chilly watching that nasty weather.
Thanks so much Mark. We will follow those dreams and happy to be able to share it on here. 😊 The plan is to head somewhere warm soon, we definitely also want to escape the chilly UK weather 🤣
I've just found your channel and I'm looking forward to seeing more.😊 Congratulations on securing your new floating home and a place to keep her. I wish you lots of exciting and safe adventures in your travels around the world! All the best from Cape Cod, U.S.A.
Thankyou so much! We appreciate your support 😊 there’s plenty more to come! ⛵️
Just found y’all, good luck on your boat and looking forward to your adventure, meanwhile I’ll be binge watching your videos. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for your support David- we appreciate it ☺️ lots of adventures on the cards for the future!
I've only just found your channel, but it's looking interesting! I hope it all goes well for you - and, well, I guess I'll find out over time! Congratulations on your purchase. And getting a place in the marina. I've spent quite a lot of time in the Solent area, and it just seems jam-packed with yachts!
Thankyou so much. It was a bit worry for us early on but finally it is sorted and we couldn’t be happier. It’s crazy how full everywhere is! Hopefully easing the travel restrictions worldwide should free up some space ☺️
Hey , this is the best channel . Love watching your cooking as well .
Hi, I enjoyed this episode. I like how you transition from one shot to the next! Do you guys have an episode giving us a tour of the inside & outside of your floating home? Also thanx for taking the time to give us time stamps of the video's!
Thankyou 😊 it’s lovely when people notice the transitions! We don’t yet but one will be coming in the next little while ⛵️
@@TeuluTribe Love your videos, which I have recently discovered. We Welsh have a phrase to describe something to happen at an unspecified future time. It is: "I'll do it now just!" (pronounced "jest").
@@Gynra Sorry for the late reply- youtube swallowed up your comment! I really love that phrase! It might go on the wall 😊
Great to find a channel with a fresh look, To you see both so happy with the transition to boat life. I know the episodes to come will have ups & downs but in life if you have a partner that you love and can rely on, the world can be yours. Happy Sailing
Thanks Dean ☺️ many ups and downs to come but the best views come after the hardest climbs and we are sure there will be some great views along the way ☺️ excited to share this journey with you 😊
Good things happen to good people if you have a dream and work for it. Superb effort. The future is a wonderful thing
The situation is very much the same in many places in the U.S.: multiple year waiting lists for boat slips. This is one of the major obstacles to boat ownership: no place to keep them, at least on the water in highly populated places.
You wear your heart on your sleeve Becka. Good stuff.
What makes your channel interesting to me is that you kids are experiences this adventure so far away from where I live in the San Diego County are of California! I have visited your lovely but wet country only once many years ago and fell in love with your “bangers & mash”, fried bread and Cornish pasties! The rail system is fantastic but never got used to how you folks “drive on the wrong side of the road”! So looking forward to viewing all of your upcoming adventures!
Thanks Edward! haha, bangers and mash are a classic! As is fish and chips- yum 😋 Not sure about fried bread but we LOVE a Cornish pasty! or we drive on the right side of the world and you guys are weird on the wrong side 🤣 just kidding! Lots of adventures to come- you are in the right place 😊
Hi Guys, just a quick note to not forget the Man of the Sea, Poseidon, tradition states that glass of champers is given to Poseidon as a gift in exchange for safe passage...Good Luck with your sailing adventure.
I too will hopefully be leaving in a year or so.... also on 35-40 footer,
Lots of things in between ...tbc
We have not! He is getting his champagne! Thanks so much 😊 Maybe see you on the water some day!
Beautiful documentation! I’m really excited for you both and can’t wait to see how your journey unfolds. I literally was just talking with my husband last night about buying a boat and sail for a whole year. Your courage is really inspiring, keep doing what you love we’re all rooting for you. Sending warm hugs from Indonesia.
Thankyou SO much Em! They are such kind words. You 100% should do it- life is so short not to follow your wildest dreams ☺️ we will keep up the videos and hopefully see you on the water at some point!! ⛵️⛵️😊
Just started watching you channel and catching up.
Love that you cry all the time and that you've got a spirit of adventure. What you're doing is what I'm planning to retire into in a year or two.
Best wishes for a bold adventure.
Thanks for watching Edward 😊 We don’t like to sugar coat our videos. Hopefully we’ll see you on the water soon!
I stumbled across your #94 video. It was so good, I decided to binge watch from the beginning. You bring vitality and warmth to your presentations. Wishing you happy downwind sailing as you roam the world’s oceans. Keep up the great work. 👍
Hi Zach! Well impressed! Love the boat! Hi Becka! I'd like to thank you for your channel - nice to know that Zach is well and enjoying his new home! To both of you: Fair Winds!
Thanks Michail for your lovely comment. Zach says hello and thankyou 😀 he is loving it!
You always have an anchor! It may not be a great long term solution, but it's certainly a short term solution (as long as you have a good dingy to get to shore)
Good point Michael!
The best to you both , stay with it .
Thankyou ☺️ we will- got a lot of the world to see!
glad you got your mooring sorted looking forward for your first trip I'm sure this wont be your last problem take it from an old sailor but I'm sure your up to it good luck and stay safe
We are so happy it got sorted- we have already come across a few problems but overcoming them is part of the fun we have learnt 😅 and I’m sure there will be many, many more!
Great video. I really admire people who stop wishing and waiting for life to happen and instead go out and make it so! "All men die, but few men ever really live." Good on ya! I'm still in the waiting and wishing queue myself. Someday....
Thanks so much for your lovely comment. We realised really quickly, if we weren't going to work for it, nobody was going to swoop in and drop it at our toes! So, the only option was to work it into our reality 😊 You have to do it! Life is short. Take this as your sign! Haha. See you on the water someday 😊
I love the "we worked so hard to get here!"... just wait...lol...
That being said, if you can survive the first couple years of boat work you'll find it's well worth it! Good luck!
Thanks!! 😊 Haha I know! We have a lot, lot more hard work to come 😆 excited for the ride though!
@@TeuluTribe awesome!... I'm in the finally phase of a major refit...I can hardly wait to head south from Canada hopefully early august!
@@aphrodite3216 Wow, thats amazing. I bet August can't come soon enough for you 😊 See you on the water
Welcome to boats. Tons of work, a bit of sailing and no parking brake.
Hahah sounds about right! 😆
Good to see things work out. I have spent many hours in Swansea marina.
you get old enough, all weather is good. Well done on all your ventures so far. Bon Chance for daring to be great, go for the gusto.
Thanks George! Gotta just go for it 😊
Yet another new subscriber here who has just discovered your channel. Luv the sense of excitement conveyed in your videos, it reminds me of my first steps into yacht ownership back in the 1980's. I hope to follow your adventures this season. Just a few old seadog tips for you... life at a marina berth is more comfortable when tied up using proper twisted mooring lines that are more elastic than braided rope used for sail halyards and sheets which snatch under load. Tip No.2. Try and clock up as many cruising miles as possible in the next few months before starting big boat improvement projects.
Thankyou! We will look into twisted mooring lines- the tyres do stop the snatch but it could always be better! We are spending quite a while in the UK getting to know the boat inside and out and getting the miles up- want to take no risks 😊 thanks for the advice!
@@TeuluTribe On the subject of prioritizing risks. Try and get hold of an article published in a UK boating magazine about 15 years ago titled something like 'Top 10 causes for SeaStart callouts". From memory it was in descending order (1) dirty fuel (2) blocked fuel filters (3) engine cooling failure (4) steering linkage failure.
@@flibbertigibbet6324 Sorry, just seen this, your comment disappeared for me! Will look out for the article, it sounds really helpful for us- thanks 😊
Onboard in winter - Get a desiccant dehumidifier or the mould will get into everything in time. To save space I plumbed ours in to save space. Ecor Pro DH800. Over time we have also fully insulated the hull above the waterline. Cozy even sub-zero outside.
We were just thinking this but not sure as we will be coming into summer soon! The walls are insulated in Carpet until about 1m above waterline but could be a little thicker i reckon! What do you insulate yours with? 😊
@@TeuluTribe Ouch!! Carpet. I see trouble ahead. Use closed cell foam like the stuff they use in RV's. It must be a min of 10mm thick, ideally 20mm. Anything less and you will get condensation. I initially used 5mm, them went to 7mm only after 10mm did the condensation stop. The channel Sail Life had the same problem and had to increase the insulation in their forward cabin.
You will also need to fit the insulation in warmer conditions to get the surface dry, otherwise it wont stick on.
I learnt the hard way, only use chemicals when it's warm.
Becka and Zach this is so amazing!!! Love following your exciting adventurous journey!! ‘Never give up on your dreams’ 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks Helen. Yes 100%! Life is too short not to! Xx
You guys just popped up on my feed, awesome content! Your boat looks like a perfect liveaboard.
Thanks so much- she is kitted out to be pretty much perfect for us!!
What is the brand of the boat? And age?
@@ttr2429 It's a 1987 Colvic Victor Ketch 😊
Just finding your channel today love the story telling and wish you all the best for your life afloat. I can’t wait to see what comes in the future✌️ all the best from a new subscriber
Thanks Louis, we have many exciting adventures to come!
Hello. Im so happy for you. Living the dream how some will say. Looking forward for your next vids. Make a video with a boat tour. 🥰
Thanks Christian, boat tour will be coming soon! 😊
Oh my goodness, there are so many sailing channels out there, with the Aussie La Vagabonde crew in the lead with a staggering 1.7 MILLION subs, so I am always on the lookout for a new channel to latch on to! I used to own a 45ft trimaran many moons ago (and did exactly the same thing the first time I stepped on board, meaning I banged my head on the mizzen boom) and I always love watching newbies, for want of a better word. You guys have got it all, a rather nice boat, boundless enthusiasm (PLEASE don't lose it) and above all, personality! Which you seem to have in spades. I wish you well, and I'll keep watching, I promise...
Thanks so much Leo! Wow a 45ft Trimaran?? Bet she flew. Haha yes, I feel like hitting your head on the boom is a right of passage 😅 almost cut it out but want to keep it real over here 🤣 will try not to lose our enthusiasm! Can’t see it going anywhere though, we are just so happy in boat life ☺️
Hi We,my husband and I are in a similar situation. We launched our new wooden sailboat last spring and went on a five hour sail. We are moving back on the boat in May(in Canada). I personally understand your excitement and nervousness. God loves you. He is always with you. You can talk to about everything all the time!
Wow, that sounds incredible! What an adventure ☺️ it’s like yin and Yang with nerves and excitement. See you on the water 😀
Congratulations, what a lovely boat..it looks really spacious with all of the windows..best of luck for all of your future adventures.
Thanks so much! 😊
Awesome! I just found your channel today and figured I'd better start from the beginning; I love it! Thanks for sharing! 🍻
Absolutely brilliant and the making of something very special. The start of a long and exciting journey. Like many others came in on the sailing episode and loved the content. A great inspiration for many. Keep safe and best wishes from NZ!
Thank you so much Gail! The adventure is just beginning. Have a lovely day! ☺️☺️
Hey you guys.
I just found your channel today. I think that you are both amazing. I am a sailor without a boat at this time and i hope to be buying a boat and sailing the Caribbean. I am from the province of New Brunswick in Canada 🇨🇦.
I love your channel I am going to continue watching it.
Thank you for your upbeat energy.
Welcome aboard! Hopefully we’ll see you out on the water someday. Best of luck finding a boat 😁
We’re looking forward to your journey’s and a boat tour. Congratulations on your new chapter! Fair winds and following seas!
The journey is only just beginning 😀 boat tour is on the cards!
Great job, I subscribe to many sailing channel’s and I’m excited to see how your adventures play out. You do a good job on your edits and answering comments. I also have a RUclips channel and I think answering comments is very important. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much Mike! We love connecting with people on here, it’s so lovely to have this community ☺️
Just goes to show that dreams do come true if you have determination and little luck all things come to he/she who waits - enjoy every moment. Love the outlook it’s optimistic and joyful , just how it should be, you have the keys in more than one sense- use them!
I am playing catch up so scuse the retrospective comments!
Thanks Mandala, we do try to keep an optimistic outlook!
Thank you for all your kind words of support and encouragement. Zach and I are so grateful! We recently set up a Patreon where we post early releases to videos, behind the scenes content and connect with you guys on a closer level 😊Link is here: www.patreon.com/teulutribe
you two are so good together...........the ups and downs........you just bounce off each other so well...........a life on the ocean waves awaits.........fair weather you crazy duo........
Thanks Peter, lots of ups and downs had and many more to go ☺️
You guys are fantastic and real as wander full as Alana and Ryle thanks you made my day may be year
Aw thanks Mark, so glad you enjoyed it 😊
Love finding a new sailing blog, well done and wish you guys the best!
Thanks Brandon😊
Chin up mates, 🙂 with all that positive energy it will keep getting better. 😎
Chins are up! The minute the sails are up, everything stressful will be forgotten 😊
As a young single woman working and struggling to do the same (presently looking at a Vagabond 47 in great condition) I am glad you have had the success you have had! Buying a home is out of reach for so many young people, and we all look for creative ways to live however we can. Sometimes constrains can help us for the better! I am really optimistic about the quality of live as a live aboard vs a standard house anyway so cheers, and here's to wishing you fair winds and smooth sailing!
I'm amazed as to your versatility and undaunted positivity in crisis conditions presented by simple seamanship situations you both provide on your vedios.
Cheers David, we do always try and remain positive 😊
Brilliant, love it. Good luck with your adventures.
Thanks David!
looks like God had your back. Thank God for that!
When leaving the dock under those windy conditions, use a "spring" line at the center line of the boat. This will keep the boat stable because it is secured midship and then you can quickly remove the ONE line from the dock and be on your way. (this removes the chance of the bow or stern being kicked out by wind/current. Love the videos :)
Wow, that is super, super helpful! We went out on Sunday for the first time and the tides were super strong (should of gone a little earlier!) and it ended up being a little eventful, to say the least 😅 we will try that next time, thanks!
what a fantastic couple, and boat.
Thankyou Richardo 😊😊
Looks a well cared for boar considering her age, think you have done well. I looked over two years ago but ended up with a Moody 42. One little thing I notice in your use of the cooker is it is on gimble while you are in harbour, bit dangerous I would put the gimble lock on to stop it tipping hot food over you especially when opening the oven door.
Thanks Andrew. She was really well cared for- we feel so lucky. Moody 42’s are lovely! We only have the hob unlocked because sometimes we get the wake of big ships passing in the channel and it will really rock us so we don’t want hot food going everywhere 🙈 see you on the water!
I’m hooked! That cold wet weather footage was very evocative, it brought back memories of my times in the UK. Perhaps that’s why I now live in the tropics and enjoy warm wet weather. You’re very engaging not unlike Expedition Evans. Good on ya
Thanks Grant! Yes, the tropics are definitely calling 🤣
The new sailing channel I've been searching for...congrats folks.
Thanks Jay 🥺 We appreciate you being here!
👏👏
I am happy for u2 !
...binge watching, sorry , do not want to comment 2much!
🙏
watched a few episodes now and i gotta say im hooked! Best wishes to you both!
Glad you are enjoying them! Thanks for being here 😊
so happy for you guys it reminds me of when i started watching a similar couple on sailing project atticus im sure if you guys have any questions just drop them a line
Thanks Chris- will check them out 😊
Good luck with the new yacht and adventure
Thanks Michelle 😊
Brilliant Becka and Zach. Wish you everything of the best with your new home. Saw a clip with Martin and Sue and lost it again. Looking forward to that one as well. Take care, enjoy and keep those brilliant memories rolling in. 🙏🏻🤗
Thanks Val, that’s so lovely. A lot more memories to come! 😊
@@TeuluTribe can’t wait.
And there was me thinking you had sold Settlers of Catan ! Good call to keep. Whoop Whoop !
Can’t sell that! Our fave game 🤣
Battered or not, they were built like tanks, she will keep you safe for sure.
That’s what drew us to her initially, lead encapsulated keel and protected rudder, safe as anything 😊
A gorgeous video. You make an awesome team - very special!
Thanks David! 😀
The wiggle will stop anything from breaking so is part and parcel - make sure she's pointing to wind. Wait till you're being blown off the pontoon when you're moving her! Lots of fenders and lines - and reading, it's all good fun, and don't be afraid to ask the marina bosuns for help when docking or moving. Check the batteries - number one, and the boat looks really good.... well done for your selection and being able to purchase her. Tie the mizzen boom off to one side if you keep hitting you head on it! Tidal streams and wind, the Channel is famous for it, more reading, and don't be afraid to ask anyone - local knowledge is priceless. Looking forward to the next video, well done!
Thanks Bob for your super helpful comment! We will be asking the marina for some help the first time moving her 🙈 she’s a solid, safe boat (not fast) but we are prioritising safety over speed. Will read lots and lots and speak to many people- have a lovely day 😊
@@TeuluTribe Just wait till you're out under sail and you first switch the engine off, it's magical!
@@bobrose7900 ah! We honestly cannot wait! Not long now 😀😀
Tell u the truth this was just the 3rd time i discovered ur channel and guess what, the 1st ep that u cried, i just can't believe there's tears in my eyes too😢, funny isn't it 😂 at that time i saw a person who has a deep passion having a boat, and you guys never gave up with ur dreams, to thinks that the first time i saw a couple who has courage, and yet fell inlove with thier story, i started towatched La vega vonde, afterwards i saw some of Delos, the curiosity, and i love thier story too even Zatara and many more like Sailing into freedom with Pete, and the girl that i admired so much Lauren Launders, but u touched my ♥ with all the things u've done guys ur very owesome, and ur videos took fast and ive never got even bored not even a single minute wacthing u on ur very first video to think it took years to find the right boat for u, and now u were bless🙏 just keep on doing in reaching ur dreams, Because u r not only such a beatiful young lady but ur passion with zam were always be there with u & i hope & pray that ur love with ur companion will never change no matter what happens coz i think ur soul mate is a great guy too, you should take good care of each other imagine u've gone through a lot of things during and after u've got what u've dream of, so stay and enjoy with him in reaching your journey, pls keep safe, ❤ u both
The beginnings of a great adventure, here we go. Stay safe.
It is indeed! Thanks 😊
Wow I am really enjoying these your style of presentation is so endearing, good job 👍 on the hair washing 😂,and the hair cut what an amazing transformation you said he looked like a different person and he sure did
Thanks Paul! haha the hair washing was an..experience!
That boat is gorgeous!!!!! So much light and space my god, you are lucky people!!
Thanks 😊
Nice spring line.the more you learn and do the more convenient things will be. Good luck you"ll
Thanks Louis, we will only learn more which is an exciting thought 😊
LoL this channel is going to be exciting!!! didn't stop the wiggle that is so funny :)
Haha it was so annoying! 🤣
You certainly bought a good boat. I had a Victor 40 for a number of years in the 80's, easy to sail even single handed and very forgiving. You may want to check into the wiring as boat is a bit dated. But you are going to have a lot of fun and I look forward to seeing more of your adventures.
Thanks Nigel ☺️ That’s what attracted us most to the ketch. And the safety element- she’s got an encapsulated keel and protected rudder, just what we wanted ☺️ we will check all the wiring soon, we don’t want any surprises in the middle of an ocean!
The person at the bow should loosen the windward line least. For leaving put them on slip,, so have them long enough to run around the cleat on the pier and back. This way one can manage the engine and the stern lines, the second one the bow lines and fenders if necessary. In strong winds lines on slip can come loose from the cleats, so it's not suggested over night if you're not sure about the weather. I suggest to you BOTH a skipper training. At sea any member of the crew must be able to do any task necessary to get the boat into a harbour. Including electric and engine work. If one is injured there is one one left.
Thats great- we know for next time- thanks! We both did our day skippers qualification last October which we found to be very helpful so are both 100% happy to do anyjob. We now just need to practice in a lot of different situations- we got taught how to moor a boat in a marina finger and alongside but had very different tides and winds that day, so we are just adapting our knowledge to now fit this boat 😊
Catching up with you guys. Its an amazing story, but this is the one I was looking for, when you got your boat and the first challenges. Happy with what I am seeing. I'm thinking of doing the same thing but I would probably start in Mexico, Baja area. . I was really impressed with the emergency sail to Costa Rica and the beautiful island you got to anchor (mooring ?) off of. What a beautiful Island, so , got me thinking I needed to find out more about your story.
Just found your videos and can resonate with you guys. Me & my partner bought and moved onto a 36 Foot Cruiser last year. Boat life is amazing, but also challenging, good luck to you both 😊
It really is! The highest highs and lowest lows!
Congratulations you guys great news on buying your boat your journey begins 😂
Cool channel. Good luck with your adventure. Pleased that you got your mooring sorted. It's proof that in many marinas simply being decent, nice people and being personally known to staff often bypasses so-called waiting lists.
Thanks Duncan 😊
I wish you all the best. Lovely couple, god speed, greetings from Friesland
With regard to your placing books on top of books in a bookshelf: fasten everything down! You won’t believe how much a boat will move out at sea.
Just came accross your channel and became a fan. Congratulations with everything working out for you guys

Sorry for the late reply, youtube seemed to swallow your comment up! Thanks for the support Darrell 😊
Just found your channel & got up to speed.
Congratulations on your new home - she looks wonderful & so happy things are coming together. You are being rewarded for all your hard work.
I am on a similar journey albeit at a very different stage of my life. I also have a ketch although it's 50yrs old and in need of a lot of TLC. My offer was also initially rejected, only for it to be accepted 6 weeks later!
Wishing you both good luck with everything I will certainly be following along
Thankyou so much for your support 😊 we are over the moon. Wow, 6 weeks later is insane! Bet you were delighted 😊 enjoy the process and one day may see you out there!
Welcome to Plymouth...if it's not wet and windy, it soon will be....
Yep! Although this last week has been beautiful weather!
Congratulations on your new boat and the new life afloat.
Thankyou so much!
