Just retired at 60.5 from flying for the last 4 decades. Spent the last almost 8 years flying ems with crazy hours. Don’t miss it one damn bit. You fell onto a great life track Bobby.
I’m a corporate pilot who was force to retire due to a retire due to a stroke. I have a passion for flying as well as sailing. Basic med is an option that meets all legal requirements assuming you never failed a medical.
The best thing to do with the trolls is to ignore, don’t feed the strays, they will keep coming back. It’s more professional as well. You have a lot of class and after meeting you I know you are a genuine, very good guy. Keep up the good!
I know I have not been a patron long but been watching all the time since you started before scare factor (covid). Great job and love how U have come a long way.
Great insight, thanks for sharing such personal information. I have much more respect for you after hearing the backstory. Great channel, always look forward to new content.
Im not a patron but have subscribed and watched your videos since day one. Like you say haters will be haters. It doesn’t matter what you watch on RUclips there are those idiots everywhere.
Bobby, the worst thing you could do is not be yourself. Keep up the boating videos and have fun with Amanda. Id live to do what your doing and so do most of us watching your videos
Thanks for this. - It's hard not to urn for or love your lifestyle - Obviously, it is a lot of work, but with some tremendious benefits. Wishing you both great weather and continued success... - Cheers! ♥
Nooooooo!!!!!! I am an airline guy, 747 Captain and I wanna do what you’re doing Bobby…. I’m so jealous…. Envious…. So happy to have you out there doing your thing. I admire you….
Not sure why anyone would hate unless it is just jealousy. I enjoy watching the videos of yalls adventures.............. I'll see if I can locate some "Troll Spray" and send it to you for those days when it seems they are buzzing around more than usual. 🤣
I watched your video/podcast when asked Amanda what percentage of time she would prefer to be on a boat vs on land. I wonder if her answer will change when you get the Island Spirit? I would think a 52’ cat would be much more enjoyable than your very small power boat.
Bobby I have been watching Doodies since the beginning of your channel. I has always been great entertainment, beautiful girls, great exotic locations and adventure galore. What's not to love. Thanks for the years of fun! Looking forward to the new Cat. Me and my Cavapoo Rudy, are among your greatest fans!
Hi Bobby I have been following you since you came to Comox BC and sailed a boat to Asia . I have ever thought about coming to Pacific Northwest ,Gulf islands and sail around . Love your videos
I agree Bobby. Raymarine was not my favorite. My Simrad was truly a quality unit. Best autopilot too. The Raymarine in dash I had didn’t compare to my buddies Garmin handheld. We used that more when we went on vacations together on my boat.
Hi Bobby. I don't think you should fly any more than you have to. Why take chances on your health if you started flying more? Just my opinion. Love your channel.
Not sure if Bobby would qualify. Here’s the verbiage for pilots who had previous issues with their FAA medical certificate: Pilots whose most recent medical certificate has been revoked, suspended, or withdrawn, had his or her most recent application denied, or authorization for special issuance withdrawn, will need to obtain a new medical certificate before they can operate under BasicMed. So it sounds like Bobby would need to have a class III with special issuance (for the stroke) before he could apply for basic med. In that case, he could just fly under the class III.
Basic medical all you need no attorney's check it out. Since you had a valid medical at one time just need a doctor to sign off not an AME. It has a one time SI requirement list of things doesn't mention stroke. You never lost consciousness.
Trolls are nothing more than jealous sad folk, I am 74 live in the middle of France and enjoy not only your posts but those of many others - it opens the world to me and it is interesting to watch your lives unfold - Many thanks for the hard work that goes into the videos
@@thomasaltruda Spirit. The thought of doing 30 more years of that was awful. No money that’s worth living life on the road like that. Sure you always have a few ass holes who say “ I can work the contract and maybe fly 7 days a month”. Good for you! I miss the flying not the job. I really feel bad for those net jet guys doing 7/7. I think a good job would be a 91 private owner flying 100-200 hours max or something that just doing out and backs. Those are few and far between and likely not going pay as well.
20 years at the QS. Another 10 at the regionals. Life on the road gets old. But it pays for my boat porn. A buddy of mine asked me if I wanted to go half on a twin Comanche I said, why would I want to do such a thing. lol. After 20k hours in the air I’m good.
I guess it all depends on how you need to make money Bobby. If you need to fly part time, you used to love it and you can make some cash then why not? Give er! We're only on this rock 1 time. Sometimes (most times) we humans overthink stuff. Go for it!
The question is do you want to or not, first loves are hard to get rid of but do you need the stress or the hassle of going to retraining. The blue pill or the red pill.
Am retired for years (piloting). Do not return to flying. Your present activity now overmatches any flight pleasures. My guess is that the cockpit will soon bore you. Your call now.
So let's take a look.... Well Bobby, you have been, drinking, sailing, chasing girls half your age. Your hair is SOILD gray but you die it. Now after years of living the life most single older males dream of. You ask, should I go back to been a pilot. Bobby, did you hit your head. Is Amanda telling you to get a job. Try this out.... Wake up at 3am..... Eat, shower, dress in a suit, grab your bag, race to a airport. Run,.... Get to the gate, stop, go sit in a chair... Call Amanda, have her, tell you what to do for 10 hours. Eat, a crap sandwich, drink old coffee. Then jump up, grab your bag, go get your car. Get stuck in traffic, get home, have Amanda, tell you what to do for 4 hours, watch the news. Then, repeat that same thing for 7 days with no breaks....😂😅😂😅😂,.... Sure... Bobby, go back and be a pilot.
Don’t bother with flying again it’s not what it was …….ive been there and done that finished at 60 ……can’t be doing with all the renewals in the sim every 6 months ..! You have a far better lifestyle.! 😊❤
I recently got my medical back after a health issue. It was worth it because I was successful. However, it was very frustrating, expensive, and difficult. The requirements for light sport are lower and the aircraft are becoming very functional.
That camera on the gimbal is 💩 bouncing all over the place. If the boat’s moving the camera should be fixed so it moves with you and everything appears still
Love the pod cast but I do not like the camera angle changing every so many seconds. i saw the past video on why your doing it / trying it but for a pod cast I think we are having a conversation (or your talking to us). No need for the quick angle change. I understand it on the normal channel. Just my opinion...I am not an expert (or novice). Do what works.
You yourself have documented the potentially dismal future of RUclips as a career. At least an ATP would enable you to be available on a career for which you paid dearly to establish yourself. On the other hand, if you don't want to, don't.

Well said
Do you know Bobby personally? I'm not disagreeing with you but he could be a serial murderer for all you know.....LOL.
Yep! Fly personally again! 47 years and I had a similar event.
I know I have not been a patron long but been watching all the time since you started before scare factor (covid). Great job and love how U have come a long way.

I've watch the Wynns and they are saying good things about the HH44 space too
Good update mate.
hope to meet you in person one day
You flew on, now Sail On ! Love your traveling blogs. Great job there you 🙂
Nooooooo!!!!!! I am an airline guy, 747 Captain and I wanna do what you’re doing Bobby…. I’m so jealous…. Envious…. So happy to have you out there doing your thing. I admire you….
Small world. I’m a 74 FO.
@@andrewt8436 very cool, I’m at UPS…. You?
Yeah I’m over at Atlas
@@andrewt8436 Def a small world... Were hiring... I know we (UPS) hire A LOT of ATLAS guys...
Not sure why anyone would hate unless it is just jealousy. I enjoy watching the videos of yalls adventures.............. I'll see if I can locate some "Troll Spray" and send it to you for those days when it seems they are buzzing around more than usual. 🤣
Completely a personal choice ! I'm for it if you are!
Keep sailing bro.
Stay on course keep sailing and fly only if you want a new way to travel , only for yourself!!!!
I watched your video/podcast when asked Amanda what percentage of time she would prefer to be on a boat vs on land. I wonder if her answer will change when you get the Island Spirit? I would think a 52’ cat would be much more enjoyable than your very small power boat.
Totally agree on not preferring Raymarine.
Success is so much sweeter when there is a struggle.
We teach folks how to trade futures contracts...........with Starlink , you could trade while sailing..................
Aaaah another scam!! If your methods work, why the hell are you “teaching”$$$$$$$??????
Bobby I have been watching Doodies since the beginning of your channel. I has always been great entertainment, beautiful girls, great exotic locations and adventure galore. What's not to love. Thanks for the years of fun! Looking forward to the new Cat. Me and my Cavapoo Rudy, are among your greatest fans!
If you are in northern lower MI camping I could recommend some tourist stuff you guys could do here.
Bobby, great content. Keep it up. Thanks for the great videos.
Thx Bobby...living the dream...it also takes work.
You are a really good dude Bobby
I’d keep sailing. Do what you love with who you love, not what pays best.
Hi Bobby I have been following you since you came to Comox BC and sailed a boat to Asia . I have ever thought about coming to Pacific Northwest ,Gulf islands and sail around . Love your videos
I agree Bobby. Raymarine was not my favorite. My Simrad was truly a quality unit. Best autopilot too. The Raymarine in dash I had didn’t compare to my buddies Garmin handheld. We used that more when we went on vacations together on my boat.
Do you ever sail out of Kemah Texas ? I wish you could fly (pilot) again just for the pleasure of the great feeling if nothing else.
I vote yes to fly...the U-Tube thing was good during the pandemic but now time to get back to work.
All depends on your medical. Without that no point in even thinking about it.
Love ya Bobby. Keep up the good work 👌
Hi Bobby. I don't think you should fly any more than you have to. Why take chances on your health if you started flying more? Just my opinion. Love your channel.
Bobby what brand of Catamaran are you having built?
I'm getting seasick....!
No need to fix something that ain’t broken, Bobby.
Stick to what you’re doing.
Life is magnificent!🍻🧉🍷🥃🍺🍸🍹🥂
hmmm, if the docs say okay and you want or need to...sure!
Flying Doodles 👍
Bobby, you may want to look into F.A.A.'s Basic Med program that lets you fly personally without an official medical certificate.
Not sure if Bobby would qualify. Here’s the verbiage for pilots who had previous issues with their FAA medical certificate:
Pilots whose most recent medical certificate has been revoked, suspended, or withdrawn, had his or her most recent application denied, or authorization for special issuance withdrawn, will need to obtain a new medical certificate before they can operate under BasicMed.
So it sounds like Bobby would need to have a class III with special issuance (for the stroke) before he could apply for basic med.
In that case, he could just fly under the class III.
Get a experimental 2 place plane...
You could get license E Z
Bobby, if money was no issue, what boat(mono,power,sail)would you buy to sail around the world?
Love your videos. Looks like you are using gimble mounts for cameras in this one and it is very rolly.
If you wind up in Oregon, let me show you my Raymarine setup.
Would love to see more repair videos (not that I want stuff in your boat to break)
Basic medical all you need no attorney's check it out. Since you had a valid medical at one time just need a doctor to sign off not an AME. It has a one time SI requirement list of things doesn't mention stroke. You never lost consciousness.
Just leaving now, do you like the boat? You are on now
I need ya in montana
If I could get my class 1 medical back I’d go flying……till then, stuck in the sim.
where did all his subscribers go??
Trolls are nothing more than jealous sad folk, I am 74 live in the middle of France and enjoy not only your posts but those of many others - it opens the world to me and it is interesting to watch your lives unfold - Many thanks for the hard work that goes into the videos
Are you sufficient with the boat you have now or are you looking for another boat?
is the earth flat bobby asking for a friend lol
Live life fwd not backwards.
They are making great money as contractors right now.
Please do more RV Vlogs
Do you have any future plans to make money beyond Utube like run charter trips with your new cat?
Best day of my life was quiting my 121. Who wants to live life on the road.
Regional. Or a Major?

Should you fly again? Maybe ask; Should you fly other people again?
IMO no way. Flying privately, maybe. Given the state of aviation right now and given where youre at, why?
I wouldn’t change a thing.
Do you still have your house? I never noticed any pineapples on the boat? Will amanda bake you some buns?😂😂
How much are you paying for gasoline nowadays?
Maybe but not without a co pilot
Irgendwann ist es ander Zeit erwachsen zu werden
Light Sport = No medical.
👍✅
Boeing needs a few test pilots.
Why not date your video so we can keep up.
I need you forever, good girls you do you and your crew
Am retired for years (piloting). Do not return to flying. Your present activity now overmatches any flight pleasures. My guess is that the cockpit will soon bore you. Your call now.
airplane needs too much gas. how can anyone relax when you have a certain amount of time before you have to land or crash.
it's better than selling skin.
You need to fire your barber man. Sheesh.
How much is gas costing you nowadays?
If you can pass the medical, why not? Just for the giggles.
So let's take a look.... Well Bobby, you have been, drinking, sailing, chasing girls half your age. Your hair is SOILD gray but you die it. Now after years of living the life most single older males dream of. You ask, should I go back to been a pilot.
Bobby, did you hit your head. Is Amanda telling you to get a job. Try this out....
Wake up at 3am..... Eat, shower, dress in a suit, grab your bag, race to a airport.
Run,.... Get to the gate, stop, go sit in a chair... Call Amanda, have her, tell you what to do for 10 hours. Eat, a crap sandwich, drink old coffee. Then jump up, grab your bag, go get your car. Get stuck in traffic, get home, have Amanda, tell you what to do for 4 hours, watch the news. Then, repeat that same thing for 7 days with no breaks....😂😅😂😅😂,.... Sure...

Don’t bother with flying again it’s not what it was …….ive been there and done that finished at 60 ……can’t be doing with all the renewals in the sim every 6 months ..! You have a far better lifestyle.! 😊❤
No.
I recently got my medical back after a health issue. It was worth it because I was successful. However, it was very frustrating, expensive, and difficult. The requirements for light sport are lower and the aircraft are becoming very functional.
If you can pass a Class IiI or I physical ? You wouid have to go thru re current too
I'm getting sea sick...can you lock out your camera gimbles?
LSA….cheap, fun, no medical.
Should you fly again? NO!!!!!
Why is the camera bouncing around? Irritating
That camera on the gimbal is 💩 bouncing all over the place. If the boat’s moving the camera should be fixed so it moves with you and everything appears still
Love the pod cast but I do not like the camera angle changing every so many seconds. i saw the past video on why your doing it / trying it but for a pod cast I think we are having a conversation (or your talking to us).

Not possible if you have had a stroke, you are not even insurable for life insurance.
It started as a travel blog focused on sailing with dogs. It has morphed to a T&A channel that is making him rich but I can't relate anymore.
I seriously doubt you answer ALL questions :)
Bad idea. Drinking? womanizeing etc.etc want trouble do that.
Who's gonna keep your daughter company when your gone working?
I didn't think it was up to you. I thought you got grounded because of your health.
