I'm not a fan of glass in the water. But what's done is done. You could silence your critics on this by showing in future videos how you are doing environmentally friendly stuff. Keep doing what makes you happy!
Abandon Comfort shut up
lone wolf Perhaps lone wolf doesn't ike self reflection.
Glass in the water? big deal. Glass on the dock? that's a bigger deal, yet easier to clean up. Glass on the beach or in water where people may walk... well that could be a deal ... diesel fuel in the water, that would be worse. stuff happens... the ceremony was fun/nice.
Lone Wolf is an odd fellow. He is reading this site, probably watching the video and complaining about what he is reading .... doh!
AC ~ Guys, do yourself a favor and speak to the 80%. There are 10% on either end that you cannot please no matter what you do.
BTW- glass is about 80% sand. Just give it time :)
DAM FLA Honestly our response shouldn't be taken as us being mad or a rebuttal. We are disappointed we let glass into the water and happy people called us out for it. And we're not just saying that - We mean it. What makes us disappointed is when people point fingers when their hands are far dirtier than ours. We spent a week protesting the DAPL to find other "water protectors" there who were driving gas guzzling trucks that pollute the environment. People don't really care about their impact on the environment. They'll come up with some excuse saying they can't afford a hybrid or electric or can't bike to work or they can't be vegan because they need animal protein in their diet. That's bullshit. If you live in the US you're in the top 10% of wealth in the world regardless of social class. No one wants to do a little introspection and see they are polluting just as bad as those they berate. It's disappointing to us and we want to be a small part of people becoming more aware of their environmental impact. -Ryan
They do have special bottle bags for the christening so that the glass doesn't go all over the dock and harbor :)
Nope, they're stupid and they don't give a shit. Unless you send them free shit or money, then they can fake it on camera.
You can tell there are a few military guys on the boat with the "Make a hole!" repeated down the line lol.
Hi kids~ Filled with emotion as I watched a young couple make such a impact on many of us who wished we'd done the same. I visioned myself as a young Ryan asking why I didn't do this or something like this earlier in life So, for that, I thank you! You have brought many questions to the forefront of this gray matter. And then you cap it off with your friend who survived cancer and is living life large! You couldn't have done a more perfect video! BRAVO! Ü
onthebeaches1 Thanks for sharing this with us. It's never too late to set out and give your dreams a go. Appreciate the kind words and you following along. Making an impact is all we care about and if we help even one or two people take the leap to living this lifestyle, it makes these videos all worth it. 🙂
I like that you followed tradition with a renaming ceremony to appease King Neptune. Coming from a Sailor and a member of the Shellback community thank you for sticking with tradition and doing things properly. I enjoy watching your videos and look forward to the many adventures you guys have. May the Gods keep you safe, your bellies full and your sails fuller. Fair winds and following seas. On a side note when you do start sailing I recommend using The Marine Weather Center for your weather updates for the waters around the Caribbean.
What a great day for you two! You have planned and worked a bunch of hours to refit that neat vessel and get it ready for blue-water sailing....and you have done a great job doing it.
Aside from cleaning red wine on the deck and solar vent and the broken glass on the dock...that looked like fun.
Loved your christening ceremony. Simply awesome and very fitting.
Appreciate it, Michael. Stoked to have you along for the journey!
Abandon Comfort , what year is your HR? I've been looking (online) at a couple from '72 and '78. I keep telling myself the age doesn't matter so long as it has been properly maintained but .... always a lingering doubt.
Lots of fun and nice respect for the sea and wind gods. Fair winds to where ever you may sail.
Awesome! I look forward to your adventures!
Thanks for stopping by, Bill! Happy to have you along for the ride.
Congrats! Can't wait to see you start sailing!
Caught up with these videos - wow 20k subscribers and only 8 vids, pretty impressive! Two things - thanks for the incidental nostalgia as the Hunter berthed opposite your boat is a model I owned until Super Storm Sandy ate it. Second, on your passage adventure through the lake - more nostalgia as I experienced something very very similar when I hoisted sail for the first time, and learned the 1st rule of sailing: More wind, less sail; less wind, more sail. Thanks, and best of luck to you.
thank you for sharing! you are still free to do & say whatever you want USA!! you two prove hard work & sacrifice still make the dream come true Congratulations! .......GRUNT
Hey Grunt! Thanks again for watching :) We can't wait to be making movies full-time. Cheers!
Abandon Comfort z
Came for the sailing, stayed for the music: Techo and Seal. Excellent! Congrats on her christening. Fair winds.
Ok - Nice Boat! Best wishes for smooth sailing! The view at 07 seconds is awesome!
Happy Sailing Abandon Comfort. I'm glad I found your channel early so I can follow along with your adventure from the start. With your happy outlook and down to earth style, I can foresee great things ahead.
"May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face. And may the wings of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars." - George Jung -
The slow mo replay was the best! 👍
funny, yet the audio was oddly loud. Great episode, though!
Thanks for letting us know about the audio! Appreciate you commenting and following along :)
Almost word for word on my christening ceremony. Best of luck to both of you.
Congratulations on christening your lovely boat! you are going to have such a wonderful time as you truly live your lives in the moment, and under the power nature provides.....What could be better than experiencing life like this?!?!
Congratulations to the both of you
Good stuff you guys. Refreshingly real and good editing! Good luck and see you out there.
Nick O'Kelly appreciate it 🙂 thanks for commenting and watching!!
Probably a couple dozen of the views on this was from me rewatching it :). Love you guys!
Congratulations ! !
All the best to you all ways and always
I can't wait for your future sailing videos. Great job.
Looked like a fun party!
Just found you guys today. Thanks a lot for all you're showing. 50 yr old guy living vicariously through you! Love it! And I guess the fact that y'all are not exactly ugly kids helps. Ha!
James Rachal Thanks for watching!! Hope we help you move forward with your own dreams and adventure plans 🙂
Awesome guys well done .Respect. Seal rocks.
so good , love the new name , thanks
Yeah, you should definitely watch out for Neptune -- and The Kraken too.
Nicely done.
"Don't belittle the Gods....what are you doing"? Lol. 😂🤣
You have one of the best mechanics and Capt in the Harborage Ron Everett the Aussie on the Lagoon there.
Great series, watched them all today lol, cheers and congrats! Subbed!
Florida Outdoor Adventures Thanks for commenting and watching!! Stoked to have you along for our journey 😎
Great Job Have fun and be safe
Congratulations! Watching your video makes me so excited for the day I can eventually launch my wreck of a boat after an extensive refit, I can't wait but still have much to do. I look forward to seeing your adventures, ups and downs.
As for the bottle, don't sweat it, you were excited and having fun, the world won't stop spinning. There's a lot worse than a little glass in our oceans. All yachties no matter how careful are guilty of some pollution. Burning and spilling (accidents happen) diesel, oil, gas, grease. All the paints, varnishes and copper coats we use. Flushing raw sewerage, soaps and detergents into the sea. Losing various bits and pieces, fenders, rope, usually plastics. Not to mention the boats themselves that last forever, how many abandoned yachts litter our coastlines? We can ALL be more careful.
Keep enjoying yourselves. :-)
P.S Britannia still rules the waves!
Fair winds guys! Love the videos. Cheers from Dubai!
kelsey is so adorable always happy and laughing and a hard worker.look after her dude theres not many around as cool as her
Looks like that was a lot of fun!
You guys would've been there had we known you back then! Maybe you would've been the voice of reason with feeding Neptune glass...
Remember, :If anything is going to happen, it's going to happen out there" Capt'n Ron. Stay safe and congrats.
Let the adventures continue.
fun and friends their is no power greater than the good will and wishes you had that day and the gods will smile upon your fun now and in the future.
We can only hope!! Thanks for watching :)
Good luck guys. You're in for a hell of a life . keep us informed.
We wouldn't want to have it any other way! Thanks for following along!!
"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all."
USA! :) Awesome tribute
Fair Weather and Following Winds to Lucidity.
You guys are hilarious! Laughing out loud!! May the strong winds propel Lucidity 🐬💞💞🇨🇦
Life is grand! No regrets!
Great respect to Sea tradition and the Admiralty Flag 😊 Nelson would be proud , bless this ship and all who sail on her ! cheers 😁😁
:) Thanks for the kind words & support!!!
Red Ensign
Lotophagi thanks for correction :)
Love you guys
Wow this episode was A LOT of fun! I found myself dying laughing at Kelsey attempting to break the bottle LOL
yeah congrats you guys! greetings from france
Thank you!! Hoping we make it over to France sometime soon ;)
Loving the boat jokes! Haha, I fear when we christen Redemption the bottle won't break! Cheers yall!
Sail Redemption thanks guys! Stoked for you guys to christen her after all the work you've done!
Love you series so far......
Thanks so much for watching, Byron!!
Love your channel and thank you for being so transparent about finances. What is the movie you watched in your video?
I feel like Neptune will accept that it was a Hell of a swing with that bottle and recognize your efforts - effectively suppressing the seven years. At least I would if I were him.
If it's this good now imagine when they are on the water! Awesome vid style
Thanks for the support! We can't wait to get on the water and producing!!
1k like :) good luck guys, enjoy your sail !
Antoine Cabrera-Marchal Thank you!!! 🙂
Well done...
Great wine brand. The dark one is best.
FYI --- As a tradition, many yachts fly the "Ensign" flag, rather than the "Stars and Stripes"..."A modification of the national flag and ensign but with a fouled anchor in a circle of thirteen stars in the canton, was created by Act of Congress in August 1848 as a flag to be used by licensed U.S. yachts." Anyway, you had lots of friends over, so have fun on 'Lucidity' and sail safe...
They sell special bottles at west marine and I assume other places that are scored and made of glass made from sugar that aren't nearly as dangerous and dissolve in the water.
Good on your rename. Now, next time you christen a vessel wrap the bottle in a burlap bag, nor glass on the vessel, dock, or water. Get your gear on, retrieve the sharp glass from the mooring pier bottom. Might just cut someone badly. Good sailing.

First! Great video!
As always, thanks for watching!!
A Florida marina in July is hot, is your portable A/C unit giving you the cooling you need? With fans in the cabin , you maybe able to get just below 80. My guess it runs 24/7 in July.
You're damn right it runs 24/7! Haha it surprisingly keeps us plenty cold at night. I think we see 77 some nights but on average probably 80 at night inside the aft cabin. We have 3 fans, two really small ones and the other is the size of a basketball. Gets the job done! We'll be anchoring for majority of our cruising life.
I see many sailboats, at the marina, have a large tarp (20ft or so) tented over the boat top cabin area. I suppose this would reduce direct sun from heating up the inside. Wonder how much it helps?
Jai alai is good beer.
We sold our last power boat, named Dawntreader 2, to a guy named Edmund. He renamed it.
where did you get the solar vents?
North, East, West, South??? LOL That should make for interesting navigating.
I think you are meant to write the old name of the boat on something and throw it in the water, so it can slowly erase the old name from King Neptune's archives. Only then, a different boat can use that name again. At least, that's what we did on our boat. I really liked the video, thank you!
OMG you just did WHAT in Honor and Respect ? and u were doing soooo good ... put the bottle in a sheet or 2 b4 breakingglass PLEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
This makes me think of a movie where there's a bunch of good looking people who take off on a seemingly simple boat trip and everything goes terribly wrong.
So, a wad of broken glass on the bottom of that slip until the end of time. Nice job.
Good episode guys! All the best for what lies ahead. Now they say its a curse to change the name of a vessel ... To break the curse you must have a virgin pee the bilge. Cheers.
Got any virgins we could borrow!?
BOOOOOONNNNNGGGG.... lol I thought it was breaking 1st try for sure with that swing. I'm also shocked the guy in the background didn't bitch, because you used a regular bottle instead of a christening champagne bottle that comes wrapped in a net to contain the glass from going in the water. But maybe I'm just docked in the wrong place haha
Your "slo-mo" was great...congrats and may the Almighty God of everything be with you always! What's the new name????
Congratulations. Great name.
That ending guys... Do you want to make me cry?! I'm glad that you are plant-based, I'm not too fond of the fishing part of sailing channels
Hi wannabee sailors. Sincerely hope you will have fair winds and following seas and become the sailors you want to be. Probably not the best thing to throw stuff in the water and post it on youtube and defintely not something I want to support. Looking foward to seeing positive videos and you as ambassadors of the sailing community.All the best from Holland !
What's the solar panel for?
You may want to consider another christening ceremony as you did the North and the East correctly but then you did West on starboard and South aft when those should have been South starboard and West aft.
Lucy and the sky
Late comer here:
In the movie industry they make bottles based on sugar. Harmless when they are smashed on somebody's head (think: actors in a bar fight). If its dropped in the sea, that bottle (sugar) are eaten by bacterias in no time.
Add Solar panels and wind mill and you can get a lot of energy
yay lets just dump a ton of glass in the water ....
I see you with that cigar city jai lai
LMAO criticism for the broken glass at the bottom of the harbor?! Three cheers for having nothing better to worry about!!:-D
Interesting, wooden deck on this boat why not seal and refinish. It's going to interesting to watch the first cruise.
First cruise already happened -> ruclips.net/video/ANcPrniHCfA/видео.html
We'll be replacing the decks before we head off for the Caribbean - probably sometime this Fall when we are on the hard.
Oh man, u forgot to pour some for the falling homies who couldn't be here. Lmao
heya AC! i was hoping to ask you guys to share how you're financing this. The lady and i are full steam ahead with our 26 foot sail boat (to start!) with goals to splash down in spring next year after a refit, and in less than a decade tackling full time live aboard cruising around the world. The problem is neither of us is sure how we're going to afford it. We know about the wildly different ways others are cashing in but i'm extremely curious what your plans are.
Also, thank you. Your series is by far her favorite and you've helped me eliminate a fair amount of her anxiety about the lifestyle... she wants to travel the world but this method i think has her stuck like an anchor on a coral rock. Not impossible to fix and make right but definitely stubborn!
Awesome to hear about the adventure plans!! We are financing this by -
1. Paying off all of our debt before beginning this adventure.
2. Being frugal. Our total monthly expenses are around $1500 on the high end.
Can't emphasize both of these enough. There's no shortcuts or get rich quick scheme here. Get rid of debt and learn what spending makes you happy and what spending is purely convenience & comfort. Hope this helps!!
Abandon Comfort will you be maintinaing work while sailing then or is the 1500 part of a kitty that you're sailing from.
Good question :) We'll be producing weekly episodes once we're doing this full-time (which will be next month) and we'll make around $1,000 a month from Patreon net fees. On top of that we make roughly $250 a month via ads on the episodes. And we'll have roughly 10k saved before leaving for emergencies. Our boat will be virtually brand new after the refit so we don't foresee any huge problems with the boat. Let me know if I can help with any other $ details - Ryan
Abandon Comfort that brings up another question she had... your Instagram is very busy... is that how you got your followship so quickly. I've seen other patreon pages with almost no followship but great content. I'm personally letting a high risk investment that is returning well right now mature for a few years to serve both as a down payment and liveable kitty... if I could have a patreon page myself that performed like that I could weather most any storm while not sacrificing quality of life. lastly she did express a great deal of interest in meeting you guys and seeing your boat and I was curious if such arrangements could be made when you're settling in so to speak.
I noticed that sailing la vagabond has subbed to your channel (one of the most popular sailing channels on youtube), congrats!!!
Hey ya ninja! How'd you find this out!?!
And we're stoked SLV is on board watching!
two of my favorite sailing channels on youtube, keep the videos coming
if you go on to their homepage and click channels and look at subscriptions you will see abandon comfort
Learn something new everyday! Thanks for the kind words - we're honored Riley & Elayna are watching. Let's hope Alfred is too :)
I wanna know more about Lucie!
Luci's home! What questions do you have for us :)
Everything!:)
Another great video thank you. I hope others will consider simply pouring some champagne over the bow for their christening. This will keep the environmental Gods much happier. Also anyone that needs to dive in their slips will be happy to not have a lot of glass on the bottom under their boat. Best of luck with the new adventure!
that better be some premium quality bubbly otherwise them ancient gods will throw a 40ft rogue wave at ya :p
joking aside many congratz, you are living your dream, now the fun of working everything else can get started :)
I tried to buy some premium bubbly but Ryan's cheap ass made us buy Korbel! Thanks so much for supporting our dream :)
Love you guys great job!!
Regis?. How are you?
Glad you did a proper renaming ceremony...from experience, I will NEVER rename a boat again without performing this ceremony. EVERY person that I have ever met that did not do this? DISASTER...myself included. :(
Wilson hadron collider
Should have called her Comfortable Abandon.
Seal good choice
thanks for showing us the exciting moment. I don't honestly care about the glass in the water people will constantly have something to complain about. I'm glad for both of you and look forward to your next adventures. A suggestion, maybe do a vote off by the viewers as to top places you should visit? Another vote off for top things we want to see at ports. I think that would be a great way to enjoy this great adventure with us. happy sailing looking forward to the next episode.
Can I ask what faith you are ? Also why not make the ceremony from your Faith to christen the boat ,instead of from mythology of the Greek Gods ? Do you believe in the Greek Gods ??
Was that Joe from Family guy screaming off the camera at 1:50?
So spot on
