    Back in 1970 I was a US Marine stationed at the naval academy in Annapolis Maryland. I Acquired a 27’ Morgan sloop. Basically a day sail with a small cabin. The head was under the companionway steps. Same alcohol stove as you, but only a ice box. It had a 15 horse external saildrive. I spent many a weekend out on the Chesapeake Bay practicing my celestial navigation. There were no GPS back then. Still miss the water at 70 years old and bad health.

      Lovely. 💜 We can relate as we live part time on a 1959 wooden cruiser (28 ft plus swim platform and dinghy make 32 ft), and part time at our 1940's A-frame cabin. Living simply and mindfully has been a blessing for us in many ways, especially savings and spending time together. You are so right about having value and purpose. We feel Those are critical. (Those sacrifices and challenges allowed us to retire at 56, and though Covid created some permanent health issues, we get to enjoy some travel--and of course times with friends and family.) So happy you both get to have this experience! :)

    My grandparents retired early in 1982 and sold everything and bought a 42 ft sailboat named Robin. They lived on that boat and traveled the world on it until 2006 when we basically had to pull them off because the medically/ physically couldn’t do it anymore. I had the most amazing adventures with them visiting them in all different corners of the world for weeks at a time during my summer vacations. I feel so lucky and so happy for them

      What they have done is quite worthwhile but far from unique. Joshua Slocum started it all when he circumnavigated aboard Spray from 1895~1898. He rebuilt an old 36 foot wooden fishing boat by himself. No motor, no electricity, no electronics, no telephone or internet. Canvas sails, galvanized wire rigging, hemp rope, no winches, windlass or self steering gear.

    You guys are awesome, and she came out beautiful!! I restored my 24ft cuddy cabin cruiser, when I was 22 years old. I'm now 48, and she's still my baby. With all new add-ons, electronics, as technology grows, always new things to purchase. My dad helped me, and taught me everything on his 32ft Boston whaler. We put a brand new head, and installed or replaced a very small shower. Although my boat is a pleasure boat, I just love sailboats. My father in law builds sailboats, in the U.S. As long as it's your's you made her your own, I love my small vessel, respectful of every ocean. And everything and more is in that vessel, if anything were to happen. Which so many people overlook. Stay safe, look forward to your adventures. 🙏 🌊 ⛵

    That's exactly what I tell people, that there's something magical about sailing that I can't describe. When you have an engine and you pin the throttle, that's it. When sailing, you have a million variables and you never know how far or fast you can go, how high into the wind you can point, the silence, the peace, the violence, the speed, the fear, all wrapped up into one beautiful thing. Sailing.

    I've pissed most of my life away, and will continue to do so. One day, not long ago, I realized that I failed my dreams of when I was young when I still had hope for the future. but those dreams are gone. ........There is no greater sorrow, than to recall happiness, in times of misery. it will go so fast. the thing called time. and as it ends, you will be left with nothing but regret .

      Why not make a status: Look at the days you have in front of you instead of what is behind ... people do not need to be young to be happy - and use the days in front of you to their best - to make other happy and help them start on their dreams - and try to achieve the best for your self ...

    Wow amazing. I have been living in my 25 foot class A Winnebago warrior motorhome now for 2 1\2 years filming.
    I have gone through 9 states traveling 30,000 miles. I started after beating kidney cancer. I travel with my little dog Tinkerbell. I will be 60 in may and love living on the road. Not sure if I could ever live on the water but I love the way you guys are doing it.

    The cockpit w/ bimini is so excellent. Your video has given me a whole different take on a 28' sailboat now. I had my sights set on a 1980 30' ketch, but a vessel like yours would be awesome too. I love the wide cockpit with ample deck space there. Superb.
    Sail on, sail on, sail on!

      Not sure about that mate.
      I did what you recommended, 3 times. Good or bad? I honestly don’t know.
      My great love in my youth told me to choose between her or my dream.
      My first wife was suffocating me not to fulfill my second dream.
      My second wife was not into my third dream.
      My current wife is not into sailing and adventures.
      I’m now passed 50 years and fulfilled my dreams. But was it worth it? I can still thinking what my life would become if I stayed with my first love. It is kind of painful today when I think of how I broke up with her.
      All though I do not know how I would feel if I’d turn down on my dreams.
      What I want to say is that although I fulfilled my dreams, I do miss the love they gave me, and regret the pain I gave them due to separation.
      Easy to say -Go for your dreams.
      And some times it’s called for sure. Just not every time
