WE BOUGHT A 50 YEAR OLD SWEDISH SAILBOAT

- In this week's video, we share the story of the last 9 months and how, with your help and support, we were able to make our dream of buying a bluewater sailboat a reality. Buying a boat isn't easy. There's so much to figure out when it comes to what type of boat you want - sailboat or powerboat? New boat or old boat? Big or small? What's your budget? Where do you want to look for a boat? How many cabins? Is it bluewater rated? We're so happy that my brother David took lead on this part of the process because he knows the most about boats out of the three of us.
We can't explain how grateful we are that you guys showed up for our eBook Live Creatively because with that money we were able to buy Penelope - a 50 year old Hallberg Rassy Rasmus 35. She has a center cockpit, two cabins, a spacious galley/saloon, and more charm than we could have ever imagined. This sailboat was designed for the open ocean in Sweden and many other owners of this exact model boat have actually circumnavigated, so we're hoping that we made the right decision. If you know anything about boats, sailing, or have any words of wisdom for us please don't hesitate to leave a comment!
Lou and I have been dreaming of sailing around the world for over 6 years now and are so humbled that we are finally at the precipice of this grand adventure. We can't wait to share this next chapter of our life with you and are excited to show you a proper boat tour next week so you can really see how our new tiny house is laid out. We still have a lot to get her ready for our voyage like installing solar panels and modifying a few sections, but we really feel like we found a keeper!

Dana and Lou - I‘m not one to get emotionally attached to RUclipsrs - but you two truly are special. I‘ve been following you for a while (for your immensely creative and beautiful videos) and you almost feel like friends. I really really wish you the best and news like the buying of your boat are making me very happy. If I could, I would have bought your book 5 times 🌞
An na technically you can. I bought it twice using two different emails
Eli Czaplinski I meant financially :D
You should get some life girl, unglue from screen asap
t reznicek Hahahah cute, wish I would care enough to tell you what my life actually looks like
An na No need to do it, you said enough in your first comment
I can't believe this! I grew up living on a 50ft Hallberg Rassy, since moving back on land for High School I've been watching you videos. I was so emotional when I saw this video, I'm so happy for you guys! Living on a sailboat is the best thing that ever happened to me, you guys are going to have a blast!
I agree, I grew up on a CT 41 then a 38 Brown Tri in the pacific. So thankful for my childhood. My parents moved me to land for high school as well. Oh the wanderlust....
That sounds like an interesting childhood. You guys should write a book about it, I would buy it :)
Okay, Dane, Lou and David. I've gotta tell you: This video was on the next level; the motion graphics, the sound and the editing were so smooth. I really dig the kind of story telling used in this videos. Follow you since your Berlin videos and I am so proud of all the things you achieved! Wish you all the best in that next chapter of life!
Well said and completely agree. Very Special couple of Soùls. Blessings xxxx
You saved me from having to type. Thanks! You guys are true storytellers.
yay! Thanks for the shoutout! I can't believe I was the first order!
thank you for writing such a wonderful book, Love your channel!!
Seems like you got the perfect little brother for the job, a former competitive sailor! Like how perfect is that?
I didn’t expect to want to sit and watch the whole video without distraction (rare these days) but this video kept pulling me in. It was such a well told story with amazing audio and visuals. I also really appreciated the transparency of exact numbers from the book purchases that led to the boat purchase. It makes seeing crazy dreams like that so much more real and attainable!
Thank you for being so honest about sales and earnings 😊 can’t wait for the boat tour
I've been following you for a few years now and you are honestly one of my biggest inspirations. I've always been a creative person but have struggled with making a living out of it, and when I found your videos I realised I was over complicating it and that I could find happiness in the simple things and by living a more simple life. I've been saving up for a van for a year now and its nearly within my reach, I hope to do up my van myself and travel just as you have. I couldn't afford to buy your eBook back when it was first released but I can now, and so I have just bought it and cant wait to read it. Keep doing what you're doing, as you are an inspiration to many. Much Love x
Sorry since everyone is doing this now it's over crowded and hard to tell who the good people are good luck out there
i got that patron exclusive boat tour but can’t wait for everyone to see it. also can’t wait to see what y’all do with it to make it your own because i know you will this video made me emotional for some reason i’ve been watching you guys for so so long now and part of me feels like i’m on the journey with you. I’m just excited for what the future holds much love ❤️
I am new here, I've only been binge watching for the last week or two and I must say these videos of yours have been such a beautiful, peaceful, and happy place to land on during Covid-19 and being a caretaker for my mom. I Love living in the van vicariously through you guys and love your energy and zest for life. I hope I can grow up and be just like you two. Happy Boat life! can't wait to *sea* where you'll go from here!
Dana & Lou, I am so so excited for you both! I remember hearing when you were saying bye to Ody and moving onto the next dream, and it makes my heart so happy to see that you have gotten so much closer to that dream! I can't put into words how much y'all inspire me. So happy for you and looking forward to virtually adventuring with you three more and more :)
I think it is great that you are sharing transparently how much money you made with the ebook and how much the boat was. This makes following your yourney even better
You're good people.
How many people would even give the time of day to the people who you are trying to help. This shows me that the world still has some real people within her still...
Thank you.
PS. Great vids, great subject and needed too
Man you guys are some beautiful people I hope I find some people like y’all in my life ❤️
I just read through the description as I don't have time to watch your video at the moment, but just wanted to say that you certainly chose an absolutely great manufacturer and model of boat!
Your boat would have been built by dedicated craftspeople and left their yard 100% perfect, and it's very likely that owners of such a boat would treat her well.
I'm really looking forward to watching your video!
Tell you what... I'll trade you boat skills for video skills that was an awesome vid! Seriously, any questions please shoot. Good choice on the boat.
Congratsss you guys!!!! So happy for you all!
Yay! So excited and happy for you two!! You deserve all the success you've had with your ebook and it's so neat to see the behind-the-scenes of this journey coming to fruition for you guys.
God I wish I could be on an adventure like this
Who is stopping you?
Same that’s the life
Me too. But i am married to a sit at home and have cats.
Me too...
Ditto-and what’s stopping me is an autoimmune disease that has rendered me unable to function and walk on the daily. But I’m thankful to be able to live vicariously through them 💕
Congrats! So excited for you guys.
The video is really well organized full of creativity. Good job guys.
i love older boats it fells like you are more connected with the sea it just feels amazing
Wow that's my favourite video you guys have ever made - in fact, favourite video on RUclips! I was almost in tears several times, happy tears of course. Your success is inspiring and story telling ability is second to none! Love you guys ❤️
What a top notch video, everything on point. Wat an adventure that awaits. And I who am terrified of the great big blue, this will be extra exiting to watch.

I legit cried watching your excitement. I'm so happy for you and I don't even know you. What a beautiful compilation of moments that will be with you for the rest of your life. Happy travels.
This video felt like a really beautiful special and personal short film. Maybe my favourite video you've ever made, so inspiring too, thank you!!

When you were wiring the money all I could think of was the meme with the cat reading the newspaper at the table "I should buy a boat" 😂 congrats!!
Congratulations!! I can't wait to see your next adventures on your sailboat!
Congratulations, you made a good choice, this is an excellent boat. Cheers, Richard
Aww I cried through that, I'm so excited for the boat tour. You all did an amazing job, the boats look amazing. Sending best wishes xx 💖👍🎉🎉
Wow, what a journey getting here. You're such gifted storytellers. Big love!
So glad I bought the bundle! ;)
Really enjoyed your journey and video ! Well done guys see you in Australia ;-)
I just watched you buy the boat. This is the first episode of Wild We Roam I've watched an I plan on keeping up with your adventures.
Good luck with the boat.
I just subscribed to your channel and can't wait to see what's next for you and your sailing adventures, I to dream of and want to experience the sailing life style before I die Lord willing that is and my prayers are with you guys and all those who sail or live this way,may you all be safe take care and may your needs be met when needed and the seas give way with safe passage with good winds and full sails taking all to their destinations and dreams being fulfilled...
this makes me so teary! you guys are so inspiring 💙
My gosh! I've been watching and following you guys ever since the early Berlin days and now you're about to set sail. This is so, so deserved - thank you for still sharing your story with us. You and your videos inspire me so much to keep pushing towards living my dream. Also, a quick random question: I've been noticing that you have your screens quite elevated, you also used to during the Odie days. Is there a certain reason for that? At work I was told they should be the same height as your gaze but I trust your opinion way more 😊😊
Big congratulations! I can't wait to see your sailing adventures!
Amazing! My brother and sister-in-law are 100/100
Just found you guys. Congratulations on the e-book and the cool boat. We are sailors from Canada. Our RUclips sailing channel is called Wind over Water. We just subscribed to see more of your great videos. They are very nicely done. Good work. Chris and Debbie.
Can’t wait to follow your next Journey 🌊
Nice and strong boat. Greeting from Sweden
More than you siblings, I am excited and happy for your purchase. All the best for your learning and God bless your sails. And I am pretty sure that when you reach Indian sure while you circumnavigate, I shall meet you. Lots of love from India.
I love the fact you respond to emails!! And timely to!!! She fixed my ebook purchase when I had trouble!’n ty! Do you have an affiliate program? I almost have my website done!!
So excited for you guys! Will be following your adventure from the get-go, Congratulations!
Yay, congratulations!! I'm excited to see what's next!
If you have water leaks inside the boat, you most certainly have a wet/ rotten core.
That is a nightmare to fix - usually an absolute deal breaker to completely repair rotten core.
Congratulations!
The journey is the destination!!!!
This is beyond beautiful. If anyone deserves something so big to happen in their lives, it's you two. For what I've seen, you are so dedicated and we can see that from miles. Sending you my best from Mexico City and so excited for your new adventure!
I just love you guys
Hi guys well done and safe sailing.
Congratulations on your eBook and boat.
