I just bought my first sailboat, a Hunter 28.5, my first sail on her was in 20-25 knot winds and 5-6ft seas with a 1 min interval, like you said in the beginning "you will give out before your boat does" I found this to be very true, my Hunter may not be a blue water craft but she can handle the rough weather better than I can lol!
Thanks for the tour. Cecelia is a very nice boat! Pay no attention to the trolls, I get them every now and then on my 2 YT channels and I leave the stupid comments up so the trolls are exposed and make themselves look silly. If the trolls are nasty in their comments, I simply delete their comments and block them from my channels. I think your videos are very well done and continually improve. Thanks, folks!
Thanks very much! At first it was a little hard for me not to "engage" Lol. Happily, we really haven't had a ton of them and generally we leave the comments up if they're not offensive...often other viewers will put them in their place for us!
One thing I noticed, you have no cardboard boxes. GREAT, that is one of the best places for roaches, bugs, etc., to hide, bred, etc. Great tour, great vlog, thanks for posting and sharing with us. Oh, and having a very beautiful tour guide is much appreciated!
Hi, Happened across your channel quite by accident. I subscribed immediately! Loved the boat tour and your realistic views on sailing which translate down to your boat selection. Well Done! If I could, I would buy that very boat! Unfortunately, I am now partially disabled and have had to leave my first love of sailing and look towards a trawler for my future boat. I was probably never going to cross and ocean, but loved the romantic idea of being able to. (I crossed a couple of times already while serving in the US Navy so at least I can say I did it) Looking forward to binge watching your past episodes and your new ones. Thanks Bill S.
Thank you for the tour. I’m so thirsty to retire to a catamaran but the sensible sailor in me is telling me not to ignore a good size +40 footer for hubby and I, and all our stuff. Looks like you both made it work 👍🏽
So love this episode. My bride and I bought a new Hunter 36 in 1985. Totally loved this boat ‼️‼️ sailed fast when needed, and not so fast when just cruising. Sweet spot was at 12-18 degree heal. After about 8- years,we redid the interior with wood ceilings on the hull and cabin top. Made the boat warmer and quieter. We sale the coast of New England and offshore from Canada to Cape Cod. We sold her to move from Maine to Arizona in 2003. You didn't pass us on the water unless your tongue was hanging out. 🙂 LOL There is a much bigger story here, yet Hunters are great boats ‼️✨🌊⛵️🏝👙🌞🍷✨
Any boat named Cecilia that doesn't break your heart or shake your confidence daily....is a good boat. 😊 Nice tour....I do see the 2 hulled vixen is trying to work her evil spell on you!!
The perfect boat for most people is the boat they use. Your using yours and living the dream. Those complaining about boat choice are usually the should've, could've, would've crowd, still waiting for perfect scenario to pan out before buying a boat and getting out on the water themselves. Thanks guys. Great vid.
River's lair rocks! That is one happy lookin' young boy. "my work supplies for school" ,,, love it. Thanks for straightening it up for us , River. Such a cool image overlooking the dog's head as captain returns with the dinghy!

I'm new to the channel but have you done a video on the various costs associated with living on a boat? Things like upkeep budget, mooring fees, etc. I used to have a 1982 NACRA 5.8 catamaran (bought it new and named it 'Little Deuce Sloop' after the Beach Boys song) I raced out of Long Beach, CA (aka Hurricane Alley) and Dana Point. In the 70's I learned to sail at the OCC Sailing Center in Newport where I sailed on everything from the Sabot, and Lido 14, up to my favorite, the 30' Shields (keel racing sloop). I live in the middle of the desert in SW Utah, weird since I thought I'd retire to someplace by the water like Washington State, not Washington, UT. Watching your videos brought back that feeling of being on the water, the quietness of being pushed by the wind and all you hear is the water rushing by the hull and the chiming of the rigging.
Thanks for joining us! Glad we can take you back to sailing times a little! We do have a couple of videos that talk about some costs, plus tomorrow's episode is all about our boat upkeep expenses over our two years of cruising. Good timing!
Africa, Ohio? I lived two townships over in Harlem for quite a few years. Can't believe this video is the first time I've seen this channel. Subscribed. Hope to be joining you out there in a few years.
That's awesome! We both learned to sail and met on Alum Creek Lake, so it seemed like a fun home port for our USCG registration. Thanks for joining us!
Beautiful boat, beautiful boy, beautiful wife, beautiful life!! 😂 It’s strange, ive already watched, liked, and commented on this video weeks ago, but I am able to go back and re-like it again?? 🤔 Cheers 🥂 guys!
Really nice Tour guys, thanks, going to pass this along to someone who needs to see the extra room on a 46 ft boat, who is thinking of making a mistake and going for a Catamaran, and who presently have done really well with a 40ft Beneteau to live aboard. grins. Bob. 👍🏴⛵️🌟🌟🌟
Beautiful dog 🐶, love how the wheel folds, that kid "River" is having a ball, he's gonna grow up with a wonderful view on life 😃👍🇬🇧 HELLO FROM ENGLAND RIVER MY LITTLE BUDDY 💪🌊
I’ve watched a ton of different boat tour videos over the last two years but, this is the first one to make me think that life without cloths hangers might be a helluva lot more enjoyable!! 😂 You guys are the best!!!
I'm almost 6'4". I was shocked the first time I went to a boat show and saw how few boats of any type I could stand up in anywhere. I wondered why his voice sounded so familiar. :)
@@jonathanmau4822 ... something to consider... quite a few boats power or sail 'level' the sole though the boat and also promote all the storage below the sole... With a bit of thought you can most likely lower the sole in the main cabin.. it might mean moving or lowering the batteries and tanks etc ... or even (get a surveyors advice) cutting the top off the floors and adding reinforcement and refibre glassing.. at minimum do the galley and walkways.. with their boat for example the shower and head soles are most likely leveled with the cabin sole and it might be possible to lower the shower by a foot.. Also reducing wasted space between the deck and lining can help.. I lowered and leveled the cabin sole in my boat by 4 inches.. I wasn't hitting my head but it makes a difference... Hope that helps.. Mark..

Just came across your channel. Been watching many different sailing channels and enjoy a lot of them. Your was a bit different and I liked it. Thanks for the hard work of putting them together and sharing w/ the world to see. Good luck you y’all and God Bless. From NJ
Thank you for the tour. We are currently doing the final preparations on our Hunter Legend 380 from 2000 and are planning to leave Sweden in end July and start our journey and hope to reach The Caribbean in a year or 15 month. We do love our boat in so many ways.
You are living the life. Don’t worry about the haters. Consider getting a VPN (to watch Hulu...and) sponsorship. I’ve noticed many small channels advertising them. Your channel is growing nicely. 👍👍👍
This was a great boat tour. Thank you so much. We currently sail a Hunter 30 in Maine and are really happy with our boat. As we begin our search for our sail away boat, we keep coming back to the Hunter and other production boats. The layouts are great. So glad to hear you are happy with the way it sails too. BTW, this was our first time watching you. Really enjoyed and look forward to watching more. ~Dave & Sara
Wow that looks really nice. Last time I seen it you guys had just finished working on it in I believe Brunswick Georgia and then you guys came down to Saint Augustine....that’s really good to know about Hunter, I’ve been wanting a boat for a while now and my first boat I fell in love with was a hunter and everybody has discouraged me from getting one. Anyhow, thanks for the boat tour and I can’t believe how big your little boy is now, ha ha they grow up so fast
I noticed that by the back of your boat ya all must be from the Columbus, OH area. Pretty interesting as this once N Indiana now Lexington, KY land lover has dreamed of the idea of sailing a boat at sea. I think its from know a neighbor from my childhood who designed and built a 45 ft sailboat in his backyard in Ft. Wayne , IN. Anyway, a very enjoyable and very interesting scratch of my itch to the idea of a life of sailing.
Indeed we are! There's a lake where we both learned to sail and Africa, Oh is on the eastern side of it (not even technically a town anymore but the USCG let us keep it). Never too late to get into it! Always small lakes with really fun sailing groups and the Great Lakes just a few hours away. :-)
Great tour. A Hunter 46 pulled into our marina just as we were leaving the other morning... it’s a big boat next to our Catalina 310. BTW, Lauren cleans up well :-)
Thanks! I also owned a couple Catalinas, a C25 and a C250. The 470 was one of our favorites during our search, just couldn't find a 3 cabin. Thanks for watching
Hey all!! Tiger loves your bedroom Rivers, it's really cool. Looking good today Loren, very nice. Cecilia isn't breaking my heart, she's a beauty of a boat. She serves the purpose very well and keeps you all safe and sound. We like your house and videos. Keep them coming Dove family. See you next time.
Love your boat! We love our Hunter. It doesn’t get much love from the aficionados at our lake until they get on it. Then they are actually impressed. Ours was built in 1992 and gets comments all the time as the prettiest boat on the lake. I agree with the comment that Hunters will bring out the “haters”.
Hey guys! Somehow RUclips has unsubscribed me from a bunch of channels, yours included! Funny how it only dumped the ones I watched all the time...Anyway, great video, I had seen some of this when I was aboard but it is so much better to have a guided tour! While I still love my 35.5, that 10 extra feet does look good! Still trying to match that shrimp and grits, someday I'll have to report I've had one better, but not yet! Looking at local cruising in the Chesapeake this season, still planning to join my friends on their Leppard 45 to cross from the West Coast to Hawaii in the fall. That should be fantastic! Keep the great videos coming, I'll watch them even if I have to hunt for them!
Wow that's crazy! Glad you got back on board! Your fall trip sounds awesome...take lots of video! I'm about ready for more shrimp and grits myself. One thing we don't get much of in the Caribbean...shrimp! Thanks and take care!
FYI youd Be smart to move at least one battery up out on the bilge area it you start taking water and it over takes the pumps and shorts battery's below the cabin sole your screwed but if your pump battery's are above the bilge level you can still run pumps and give yourself a chance , check out sailing zingaro it just happened to him , he almost lost the boat the water flow overpowered the pumps and drowned his batteries and he lost all his pumps , luckily rescues got to him and passed him some gas powered pumps they save the boat
Zingaro is a bum, didnt even have a single proper bilge pump just that pathetic flow rate 8gph JABSCO water pump incapable of running submerged. That cowboy captain shouldn’t even be able to attain insurance.
First time watching. Amazed it's the first time one of your vlogs has come up on my page. Loved the introduction of your beautiful Hunter. You two are a wonderful couple. Who plays the guitar?
Thanks so much! That'd be me (Eric). Actually our theme song is an original I wrote for the channel. You find it in our video list. Appreciate you joining us!
not sure if you've been told this before but at times when talking your voice reminds me a lot of the actor nathan fillion, which if you're a fan like me is pretty kick ass...
It's quite a coincidence that at the start of this video that I was thinking about voice over, only to find that Eric actually does voice over too! I do some voice over myself and when I started watching your video, I imagined how a skill like that could be handy for making RUclips videos and sailing yhe world. This is the 1st video of yours I've seen, so that was quite a coincidence.
i appreciate what you are saying.. i like all the boats; cats included .. i think the "tank" boats with a full keel are just easier to live with (less worry). weather windows dont really matter so much.. rudder protection which for a world cruiser is paramount.. . production boats mean a little more awareness which is off set with more performance.. after a while performance wont matter so much..
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour--thank you!! :-) Love you guys so much and we've never met, ha!! Loren asking about a catamaran at the end was cute & creative! :-) Have a terrific week! -Hugs
New subscriber! Excellent video. Looking forward to following along. Rivers cabin is a kids dream! Beautiful home guys!! “I will show you the underwear, they’re nice size drawers”!! 😂
You came up in my feed and I’ve just spent the past two days binge watching all your videos. I love your beautiful family and hope one day you manage to get to Australia, our beautiful island at the bottom of the world. 💝💝
Man we really hope so too! Some of the best friends we've made out here are about to head home to Australia. It's definitely in our more distant plans to get there. Thanks for watching!
Hey Guys! Thanks for this. Non-sailor now on a 6 year plan. Totally discounted Hunters (but liked the layouts) due to the rumblings about them being only good for day/weekend cruising. Cheers and subscribed now!
Sweet...missing: CB radio w rf gain (Uniden PRO 520 recommended) and MCI personal strobes. Be alert to land based improvements like Hong Kong 12 volt fridges, smaller square solar panels, and small pure sine wave inverters.
@@SailAwayVlog I'm learning so much...I'm pretty afraid of the heeling, but a sailing vessel makes more economic sense than a small yacht. And if we run out of fuel, heaven forbid, we'd have sail power. My husband is retired Coast Guard so he's comfortable with whatever I'm comfortable with, lol.
Great video, but we think the best part of your boat is the cute kid you call Rivers. He is adorable in his cooking outfit. But we do find your videos both entertaining and educational this boat tour video was no exception. Still stuck in a job and my grandkids are almost grown maybe I should have taken the road less traveled.
I like production boats too. I'm looking at Catalinas and Hunters. Your pride and confidence in your boat are perfect to allay a lot of concerns arising, I think, from a lack of familiarity with production boats. Your video bridges that gap in knowledge. In mast furling and an electric winch sure make sail handling easier. Thanks
Don't use roach spray. Get some Combat Roach Bait Stations, or even better, Advion Roach Gel Bait, that stuff is magic. You put on little pieces of cardboard and tuck under cabinets and out of the way areas where you don't have to worry about kids or dogs getting at it. It attracts the roaches, they bring it back to their nest and it then kills a bunch of the other roaches. I tried it for the first time last year. Living in new housing that is surrounded by undeveloped land meant roaches came through my yard like Los Angeles freeway traffic. That is until I put out the bait. I used to find sometimes dozens of roaches outside my front and back doors or garage floor. Now I hardly ever see one and the ones I do come across are dead or dying.
Thanks! Luckily we've never had to use the roach spray, we've just had that can for years. We also have some of the powder, which is used sorta like the gel, but keep your fingers crossed our luck holds.
Getting a late start to watching but what caught my eye is that I'm noticing subs seem to be picking up pace and views increasing. I think where getting that algorithm clicking. Now let's get you the 100k silver sub plack next! I know you guys deserve that and some.
Like that, fits with your budget, needs and wants. Looks a great, comfortable home and your son's room, well that's a child's dream. Take care yourselves. 👍
She really is a great looking boat guys, you chose a good one for sure. I agree with your thoughts on what constitutes a blue water boat, with the tech these days, production boats are just as capable as any other of getting the job done.
Hunters has come a long way, some of their late 70's -80's did Not age well. I tried to get project atticus to at least look at a more modern design with , wide transom, swim platform and probably twin aft double cabins. I had use of a 42'-1994 Jenneau in ‘96 and it was such an easy boat to live with , similar to you Hunter. The sailing speed of the modern designs is 25% or more that the older designs too.... The one thing I don’t get is so many people have Jerry cans on side decks ..... is there no storage anywhere else? Nice tour guys great livable boat! , cheers Warren
Thanks! We sure like her. I think some folks are missing out as well, but to each his own. As for the jerry cans, generally we (and others) don't like storing them in hatches in case one should leak or break. Plus the deeper hatches usually have a lot of stuff that comes in and out a lot, so the cans would be in the way. Thanks for watching!
Someone on another channel picked up a load of Containers with lids of dry useful sizes, very cheap from IKEA. You like Spicy Sauces ? Have you tried Encona West Indian Hot Pepper Sauce? It’s nice even on Cheese Sandwiches, in Cup of Soups, Noodles, warming up Winter Stews, and it’s bad news when I run Out. Love the Galley by the way, linear ones for me, have been really bad news even when strapped in. Those Companionway Stairs, are the sort of angle disabled me has to have to use safely, with secure handholds both sides, and waist height ish handholds to both port and starboard to and from the Companionway down below. 15 out of 10 so far. Bob. 👍🌟🌟🌟
thank you for the tour...very nice set up..totally random question as I have always wondered about dogs on boats. I have a dog that will only relieve itself on grass or dirt ...did you train your dog to use a litter box or???
He usually gets to go to shore, but when he can't, he's learned to go out on the bow. All fiberglass and drains off the sides, so a few buckets of seawater takes care of it. Thanks for watching!
You're talking about the same sailing strategies that people used thousands of years ago. Sailing with the seasonal winds. Following the currents. Knowing which way to go which time of the year. They did those things before we had goes and weather channels. They built up data from captains logs and personal experience.
Yep, very true. Plus now we layer on the benefit of being able to foresee bad weather very reliably when it’s just a few days out particularly. Not to mention hurricane tracking. There’s a wealth of knowledge available for good decision making.
Very nice tour, so good of you to share all this info, i am sure it will help some to configure their own efforts one day. Yes, a well designed rig, and sounds like it's been put through some paces. Smart sailing, and fair winds...
Really amazes me how many of these sailing video's are on youtube with couples and families sailing away on their dream and monetizing it. I remember when my wife and I were only 20 years old and restored an old sailboat what it took both in time and in finances. We did not have this opportunity of the internet to help finance our dream. It took good old fashion hard work during the day as my wife waited on tables and I would do manual labor on other people's boat just so we could work on ours at night. It took 4 years working in this manner before we completed our boat and start our circumnavigation. Then every port we landed at we would have to get jobs just to get to the next. That was 40 years ago and to this day we still live aboard. And no, we still do not have a youtube channel asking others to help pay.
Thanks for watching! That's a great way to approach this lifestyle and many cruisers still do that. Or they save most everything they need beforehand. That said, I think your notion of what it takes to have a successful RUclips channel is very incorrect. It also sounds like you know very little about our personal story. There are literally thousands of people out here living the cruising life and only a very small percentage make videos about it. Among those, most do it just for fun and so their families and friends can see what they're up to (which is why we started our channel as well). A much much smaller percentage of channels have developed any appreciable viewership. Our videos (like most) are 100% free to watch. We're happy to say we have Patreons who appreciate our work, but our videos never ask for people to "give us money". I (Eric) still work full time aboard the boat in the same career I had before we left land as an audiobook narrator. Loren puts in countless hours to construct quality, entertaining videos that people enjoy watching (doing this well takes a LOT of work to learn and execute...have you tried it?), which is finally, after 4 years of doing this, making us a little bit of money. So I guess my point is - we and other channels like us are usually still working other jobs remotely or on land and ALSO putting in a ton of work to make quality FREE videos for people to enjoy...and most are still making very little or nothing from it. So while the way you managed this life is fine and admirable, you clearly don't know enough about what it requires to do it the way we do it to criticize it or suggest we're doing it "wrong". Cheers!
@@SailAwayVlog I was hoping you would not take the comment wrong or hateful. However, maybe just maybe there was some animosity or jealousy to my comment. I probably should not have said anything if I did not have positive things to say. And indeed you are correct saying I do not know your story. So no hard feelings and thanks for the video.
Thank you, and no worries. We've come across so many families out here and they're all making it work in different ways. As you know, however you can do it, it's worth the effort!
Thank you your comments and your information on Hunters is amazing and reassuring. The larger Hunters are as you say… so blue water boats... but I'm convinced only non sailors ever really say a boat isn't blue water. I am looking at a Hunter 420 Passage (has to be centre cockpit)... as Lady Kay sailing dude says... there are better boats but they cost three times the price. The 420 is perfect for me and my friend... and I'm taller than Eric.
Really enjoyed the tour! Loren you look pretty. Nice looking boat especially your bedroom how you can walk by the side of your bed. Rivers room was really cute with the little boats hanging and the little gifts he received from friends ♥️

Nice! Trial by fire right there! Congrats on the first boat though. Keep at it and you won't be sorry. :-) Thanks for watching!
Same here with a 31 footer Rival Class, the old lady is 1969, but I will break before she does.
What year and model is your boat? Also props for having a Sailing Uma sticker in Rivers room lol. Those guys are awesome :)
It's a 2006 Hunter 46 LE. We went to Dan's birthday in Florida before we left and traded stickers with them. Lol. Very cool people for sure!

Meaning what exactly? That's a pretty vague question about a pretty simple response.
Nice to see a family in joying life you only live once . Do it your way

yeah and a nice boat ... like not too bling just nice ..
River's lair rocks! That is one happy lookin' young boy. "my work supplies for school" ,,, love it. Thanks for straightening it up for us , River. Such a cool image overlooking the dog's head as captain returns with the dinghy!

Seeing your setup for recording audio books just gave me a startling realization... All the epic fantasy/sci-fi/historical drama books I've listened to over the years... The voice actor could have been wearing no pants! 😮
I'm not sure how I feel about that but now all of you can contemplate it too!
Well …for good reason. If I’m not leaving the boat all day, why put on pants? Lol
It was good to see the a Tolkien book in River's room. My dad used to read my sister and I that when we were roughly his age.
Thanks! Those were actually mine when I was a kid! He's a little young for them but he still likes them.
@@SailAwayVlog ... With your background you could bring the characters to life...
I'm new to the channel but have you done a video on the various costs associated with living on a boat? Things like upkeep budget, mooring fees, etc.
I used to have a 1982 NACRA 5.8 catamaran (bought it new and named it 'Little Deuce Sloop' after the Beach Boys song) I raced out of Long Beach, CA (aka Hurricane Alley) and Dana Point. In the 70's I learned to sail at the OCC Sailing Center in Newport where I sailed on everything from the Sabot, and Lido 14, up to my favorite, the 30' Shields (keel racing sloop).
I live in the middle of the desert in SW Utah, weird since I thought I'd retire to someplace by the water like Washington State, not Washington, UT.
Watching your videos brought back that feeling of being on the water, the quietness of being pushed by the wind and all you hear is the water rushing by the hull and the chiming of the rigging.

I’ve watched a ton of different boat tour videos over the last two years but, this is the first one to make me think that life without cloths hangers might be a helluva lot more enjoyable!! 😂 You guys are the best!!!
Lol. Sounds like a good video title - Life Without Clothes Hangers! Thanks as always brother!
Cant remember the last time I used a hanger ... its roll or fold ... LOL
@@SailAwayVlog just delete the word hangers, while on a yacht. The word is cabin, not bedrooms.
I'm almost 6'4". I was shocked the first time I went to a boat show and saw how few boats of any type I could stand up in anywhere. I wondered why his voice sounded so familiar. :)
Yeah it's surprising isn't it? It was a big sticking point in our search. Thanks so much for watching!
I am also 6'4" buying a 6'2" and lower headroom boat. Just too limiting, had to throw out headroom.
@@jonathanmau4822 ... something to consider... quite a few boats power or sail 'level' the sole though the boat and also promote all the storage below the sole...
With a bit of thought you can most likely lower the sole in the main cabin.. it might mean moving or lowering the batteries and tanks etc ... or even (get a surveyors advice) cutting the top off the floors and adding reinforcement and refibre glassing.. at minimum do the galley and walkways.. with their boat for example the shower and head soles are most likely leveled with the cabin sole and it might be possible to lower the shower by a foot..
Also reducing wasted space between the deck and lining can help..
I lowered and leveled the cabin sole in my boat by 4 inches.. I wasn't hitting my head but it makes a difference...
Hope that helps.. Mark..

Thank You for showing us the other side of the "Hunter as a Cruising Boat Story." Looks like the 46 is working well for you three. Sail On!
Thanks so much for watching!
Just came across your channel. Been watching many different sailing channels and enjoy a lot of them. Your was a bit different and I liked it. Thanks for the hard work of putting them together and sharing w/ the world to see. Good luck you y’all and God Bless.
From NJ
Thanks so much! We truly appreciate that!
Thank you for the tour. We are currently doing the final preparations on our Hunter Legend 380 from 2000 and are planning to leave Sweden in end July and start our journey and hope to reach The Caribbean in a year or 15 month. We do love our boat in so many ways.
That's a great boat! Our last boat was a Legend 35.5...saiked so well Best of luck on your prep and crossing. Maybe we'll see you out there!
You are living the life. Don’t worry about the haters. Consider getting a VPN (to watch Hulu...and) sponsorship. I’ve noticed many small channels advertising them. Your channel is growing nicely. 👍👍👍
Thank you! And we keep hearing that...time to research some VPN's
This was a great boat tour. Thank you so much. We currently sail a Hunter 30 in Maine and are really happy with our boat. As we begin our search for our sail away boat, we keep coming back to the Hunter and other production boats. The layouts are great. So glad to hear you are happy with the way it sails too. BTW, this was our first time watching you. Really enjoyed and look forward to watching more. ~Dave & Sara
Thanks so much! And welcome to the channel! Always happy to hear from fellow Hunter owners. :-)
Wow that looks really nice. Last time I seen it you guys had just finished working on it in I believe Brunswick Georgia and then you guys came down to Saint Augustine....that’s really good to know about Hunter, I’ve been wanting a boat for a while now and my first boat I fell in love with was a hunter and everybody has discouraged me from getting one. Anyhow, thanks for the boat tour and I can’t believe how big your little boy is now, ha ha they grow up so fast
Thanks so much! Yeah, they're great boats. Just go with what moves you! Thanks for watching!
Exceptionally comfortable boat for a family. Thanks for straightening it up for this video!
Lol...thanks! When shooting video it's all about NOT shooting the corner where we shoved everything. ;-)
Oh my God you told us the price. I luv it. Very much appreciated. You guys are totally entertaining to watch. Thank You very much.
Lol... people need to know that! Thanks so much for watching!
Very comprehensive walkthrough, and a hell of a lot of boat for the money.. thank you, Cheers
Thanks so much! Cheers!
I noticed that by the back of your boat ya all must be from the Columbus, OH area. Pretty interesting as this once N Indiana now Lexington, KY land lover has dreamed of the idea of sailing a boat at sea. I think its from know a neighbor from my childhood who designed and built a 45 ft sailboat in his backyard in Ft. Wayne , IN. Anyway, a very enjoyable and very interesting scratch of my itch to the idea of a life of sailing.
Indeed we are! There's a lake where we both learned to sail and Africa, Oh is on the eastern side of it (not even technically a town anymore but the USCG let us keep it). Never too late to get into it! Always small lakes with really fun sailing groups and the Great Lakes just a few hours away. :-)
From Panama City Florida love you all really enjoyed the tour
Thanks for joining us!
Great tour. A Hunter 46 pulled into our marina just as we were leaving the other morning... it’s a big boat next to our Catalina 310. BTW, Lauren cleans up well :-)
Thanks for watching! And Loren will be happy to hear that. :-)
YT just recommended you guys to me. During your opening VO I was like, "This guy should do VO professionally." Then of course you showed your studio 🤣
Haha...thanks! And welcome to the channel!
I've never seen a tour of a hunter... not bad. I am surprised and impressed. good job. hope to see your subscription base rise.
Thanks so much! We hope so too! Lol
Such a beautiful home. Wishing you safe travels and fair winds from Chatham Ontario. 💯👍
Thanks so much! We appreciate you watching!
Wonderful sailing vessels offers biggest Bang for the buck bar noon...
Done! Signed up! You guys are really on the money with your unique and informative reviews Wow! I am very grateful!
Thanks so much for joining us!
Well done. You are 100% right about the hunters. I have a Catalina but have always loved the hunters.
Thanks! I also owned a couple Catalinas, a C25 and a C250. The 470 was one of our favorites during our search, just couldn't find a 3 cabin. Thanks for watching
Hey all!! Tiger loves your bedroom Rivers, it's really cool. Looking good today Loren, very nice. Cecilia isn't breaking my heart, she's a beauty of a boat. She serves the purpose very well and keeps you all safe and sound. We like your house and videos. Keep them coming Dove family. See you next time.
Thanks so much guys! So great to hear from you as usual. Rivers says hi Tiger!
Love your boat! We love our Hunter. It doesn’t get much love from the aficionados at our lake until they get on it. Then they are actually impressed. Ours was built in 1992 and gets comments all the time as the prettiest boat on the lake. I agree with the comment that Hunters will bring out the “haters”.
Yeah, it's a weird phenomenon! Most have never even been on one. Our last boat was a 95 Hunter Legend 35.5 and we loved it too! Thanks for watching!
Another Hunter lover here, I have Passage 42 and very happy with her! Hunters are great!!!
Awesome! We obviously agree! Thanks for watching.
Hey guys! Somehow RUclips has unsubscribed me from a bunch of channels, yours included! Funny how it only dumped the ones I watched all the time...Anyway, great video, I had seen some of this when I was aboard but it is so much better to have a guided tour! While I still love my 35.5, that 10 extra feet does look good! Still trying to match that shrimp and grits, someday I'll have to report I've had one better, but not yet! Looking at local cruising in the Chesapeake this season, still planning to join my friends on their Leppard 45 to cross from the West Coast to Hawaii in the fall. That should be fantastic! Keep the great videos coming, I'll watch them even if I have to hunt for them!
Wow that's crazy! Glad you got back on board! Your fall trip sounds awesome...take lots of video! I'm about ready for more shrimp and grits myself. One thing we don't get much of in the Caribbean...shrimp! Thanks and take care!
FYI youd Be smart to move at least one battery up out on the bilge area it you start taking water and it over takes the pumps and shorts battery's below the cabin sole your screwed but if your pump battery's are above the bilge level you can still run pumps and give yourself a chance , check out sailing zingaro it just happened to him , he almost lost the boat the water flow overpowered the pumps and drowned his batteries and he lost all his pumps , luckily rescues got to him and passed him some gas powered pumps they save the boat
Zingaro is a bum, didnt even have a single proper bilge pump just that pathetic flow rate 8gph JABSCO water pump incapable of running submerged. That cowboy captain shouldn’t even be able to attain insurance.
You have a beautiful, functional home. Well thought out and obviously, a woman lives aboard providing the homeness. Great tour, thanks.🏡
Thank you! Loren definitely adds the feminine touches that make it feel like a home. Thanks as always for watching!
@27:42. "I'll show my underwear". Followed by: "They're nice sized drawers". Wakka wakka!!
Lolol... totally didn't even hear it when I said it!
Great video I just found your channel and hit the bell
Thanks for joining us!
First time watching. Amazed it's the first time one of your vlogs has come up on my page. Loved the introduction of your beautiful Hunter. You two are a wonderful couple. Who plays the guitar?
Thanks so much! That'd be me (Eric). Actually our theme song is an original I wrote for the channel. You find it in our video list. Appreciate you joining us!
not sure if you've been told this before but at times when talking your voice reminds me a lot of the actor nathan fillion, which if you're a fan like me is pretty kick ass...
I've been told that a couple times and definitely take it as a huge compliment. I'm a big fan of his as well, so thanks!
It's quite a coincidence that at the start of this video that I was thinking about voice over, only to find that Eric actually does voice over too!
I do some voice over myself and when I started watching your video, I imagined how a skill like that could be handy for making RUclips videos and sailing yhe world.
This is the 1st video of yours I've seen, so that was quite a coincidence.
Lol, yeah it definitely comes in handy. Already having a lot of the gear is a big part of that. Thanks so much for watching!
i appreciate what you are saying.. i like all the boats; cats included .. i think the "tank" boats with a full keel are just easier to live with (less worry). weather windows dont really matter so much.. rudder protection which for a world cruiser is paramount.. . production boats mean a little more awareness which is off set with more performance.. after a while performance wont matter so much..
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour--thank you!! :-) Love you guys so much and we've never met, ha!!
Loren asking about a catamaran at the end was cute & creative! :-) Have a terrific week! -Hugs
Thanks so much as always!
New subscriber! Excellent video. Looking forward to following along. Rivers cabin is a kids dream! Beautiful home guys!!
“I will show you the underwear, they’re nice size drawers”!! 😂
Thanks for joining us! And you're not the first to mention that? Lol. Didn't hear it at a when I said it...
You came up in my feed and I’ve just spent the past two days binge watching all your videos. I love your beautiful family and hope one day you manage to get to Australia, our beautiful island at the bottom of the world. 💝💝
Man we really hope so too! Some of the best friends we've made out here are about to head home to Australia. It's definitely in our more distant plans to get there. Thanks for watching!
Hey Guys! Thanks for this. Non-sailor now on a 6 year plan. Totally discounted Hunters (but liked the layouts) due to the rumblings about them being only good for day/weekend cruising. Cheers and subscribed now!
Thanks for joining us! Like all boats, it's just about condition and how you outfit them. We've had two Hunters now and loved both.
you have a beautiful Yacht, a comfortable and well cared for home
Thank you!
Great tidy setup. So many vids of people with chaotic setups but urs seems simple and straight forward good work
Thanks! Still plenty of chaos. Lol!
Sweet...missing: CB radio w rf gain (Uniden PRO 520 recommended) and MCI personal strobes. Be alert to land based improvements like Hong Kong 12 volt fridges, smaller square solar panels, and small pure sine wave inverters.
Beautiful boat. We're hoping to do the liveaboard life in a couple of years.
Thanks so much! It's well worth the work. :-)
@@SailAwayVlog I'm learning so much...I'm pretty afraid of the heeling, but a sailing vessel makes more economic sense than a small yacht. And if we run out of fuel, heaven forbid, we'd have sail power. My husband is retired Coast Guard so he's comfortable with whatever I'm comfortable with, lol.
Great video, but we think the best part of your boat is the cute kid you call Rivers. He is adorable in his cooking outfit. But we do find your videos both entertaining and educational this boat tour video was no exception. Still stuck in a job and my grandkids are almost grown maybe I should have taken the road less traveled.
Thanks so much! We kinda like him too. :-) We're happy to push this cooking thing too...could work out well for us! Lol.
I like production boats too. I'm looking at Catalinas and Hunters. Your pride and confidence in your boat are perfect to allay a lot of concerns arising, I think, from a lack of familiarity with production boats. Your video bridges that gap in knowledge. In mast furling and an electric winch sure make sail handling easier. Thanks
That's great! Thanks! We're big fans of Catalinas too. Owned a couple smaller ones back in the day. Thanks for watching!
Don't use roach spray. Get some Combat Roach Bait Stations, or even better, Advion Roach Gel Bait, that stuff is magic. You put on little pieces of cardboard and tuck under cabinets and out of the way areas where you don't have to worry about kids or dogs getting at it. It attracts the roaches, they bring it back to their nest and it then kills a bunch of the other roaches. I tried it for the first time last year. Living in new housing that is surrounded by undeveloped land meant roaches came through my yard like Los Angeles freeway traffic. That is until I put out the bait. I used to find sometimes dozens of roaches outside my front and back doors or garage floor. Now I hardly ever see one and the ones I do come across are dead or dying.
Thanks! Luckily we've never had to use the roach spray, we've just had that can for years. We also have some of the powder, which is used sorta like the gel, but keep your fingers crossed our luck holds.
Just found your channel,, and LOVE the Boat.
Really Love how the wheel folds up to easy pass by...
Thanks for joining us! Yeah, that wheel makes the cockpit work. It'd be very tight otherwise!
Great video. The only thing that worries me about production boats is the feeling I'd never be able to find a leak in time should there be one.
I enjoyed the boat tour and I love your boat!! How much was your boat?
Thank you! We paid $150,000 a little over two years ago.
Thanks for the tour! Nice ride 🙂That is the best companionway I’ve ever seen. Cheers
Thanks so much! Added benefit to those steps...you can walk up carrying two full drinks! Lol
Getting a late start to watching but what caught my eye is that I'm noticing subs seem to be picking up pace and views increasing. I think where getting that algorithm clicking. Now let's get you the 100k silver sub plack next! I know you guys deserve that and some.
Yeah, these last few videos have definitely bumped! I'll jump in on that 100k mojo! Lol. Thanks as always brother!
Like that, fits with your budget, needs and wants. Looks a great, comfortable home and your son's room, well that's a child's dream. Take care yourselves. 👍
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Michael Crichton's Pirate Latitudes - great book!
Good eye! Discovered it in a little hotel book swap in Key West years ago and it became one of my favorites!
Well thought out and organized. Great for a family of 3 and a pup.
Thank you!
Not to rub it in, Lo, but I was totally watching handmaids tale when I got the notification for this video! 😁😁
Lolol! Shut your mouth! JK Thanks for watching! //Loren
She really is a great looking boat guys, you chose a good one for sure. I agree with your thoughts on what constitutes a blue water boat, with the tech these days, production boats are just as capable as any other of getting the job done.
Thank you! We appreciate you watching!
Hunters has come a long way, some of their late 70's -80's did Not age well.
I tried to get project atticus to at least look at a more modern design with , wide transom, swim platform and probably twin aft double cabins. I had use of a 42'-1994 Jenneau in ‘96 and it was such an easy boat to live with , similar to you Hunter.
The sailing speed of the modern designs is 25% or more that the older designs too....
The one thing I don’t get is so many people have Jerry cans on side decks ..... is there no storage anywhere else?
Nice tour guys great livable boat! , cheers Warren
Thanks! We sure like her. I think some folks are missing out as well, but to each his own. As for the jerry cans, generally we (and others) don't like storing them in hatches in case one should leak or break. Plus the deeper hatches usually have a lot of stuff that comes in and out a lot, so the cans would be in the way. Thanks for watching!
Here is the nav station… with all the Navi things. 😅😅😅. Love it!!
Just received a recommendation for your channel on my RUclips feed and am now a new sub!! Great stuff1
Thanks for joining us!
Someone on another channel picked up a load of Containers with lids of dry useful sizes, very cheap from IKEA. You like Spicy Sauces ? Have you tried Encona West Indian Hot Pepper Sauce? It’s nice even on Cheese Sandwiches, in Cup of Soups, Noodles, warming up Winter Stews, and it’s bad news when I run Out. Love the Galley by the way, linear ones for me, have been really bad news even when strapped in. Those Companionway Stairs, are the sort of angle disabled me has to have to use safely, with secure handholds both sides, and waist height ish handholds to both port and starboard to and from the Companionway down below. 15 out of 10 so far. Bob. 👍🌟🌟🌟
the living area on your boat is awesome. you guys are adorable and Rivers is such a cute kid and i love the doggy!! Cheers
Thank you so much!
Very nice! I have a much older Hunter 40 and we love it! I’m used to the Hunter bashers 🤣
Awesome! Yeah, this is our second Hunter so it's not new to us either. Thanks for watching!
thank you for the tour...very nice set up..totally random question as I have always wondered about dogs on boats. I have a dog that will only relieve itself on grass or dirt ...did you train your dog to use a litter box or???
He usually gets to go to shore, but when he can't, he's learned to go out on the bow. All fiberglass and drains off the sides, so a few buckets of seawater takes care of it. Thanks for watching!
The more i watch the more i want to experience living off grid
It definitely has some major benefits! It's all a learning experience. Thanks for watching!
Can't deny the living space on Hunters. Nicely appointed vessel. thanks for sharing
Thanks! She's definitely been good to us. :-)
Enjoyed the tour; well done. Loren did an excellent job cleaning up. Forget Bluewater, turquoise is where is at :-))
Lol...thanks! We appreciate you watching!
New visitor to your channel. Enjoyed your video. A sailboat, a nice family and guitars sounds ideal!
Thanks so much for joining us!
Very nice boat, comfortable and efficient layout……can take you anywhere you want to go. Thanks for the tour
Thanks so much for watching! We appreciate it!
You're talking about the same sailing strategies that people used thousands of years ago. Sailing with the seasonal winds. Following the currents. Knowing which way to go which time of the year. They did those things before we had goes and weather channels. They built up data from captains logs and personal experience.
Yep, very true. Plus now we layer on the benefit of being able to foresee bad weather very reliably when it’s just a few days out particularly. Not to mention hurricane tracking. There’s a wealth of knowledge available for good decision making.
Thank you for the tour. I had never seen an in depth tour of a Hunter. Nice boat! 😎
Thank you! We appreciate you watching!
Very nice tour, so good of you to share all this info, i am sure it will help some to configure their own efforts one day. Yes, a well designed rig, and sounds like it's been put through some paces. Smart sailing, and fair winds...
Thanks so much! She's been very good to us so far!
Really amazes me how many of these sailing video's are on youtube with couples and families sailing away on their dream and monetizing it. I remember when my wife and I were only 20 years old and restored an old sailboat what it took both in time and in finances. We did not have this opportunity of the internet to help finance our dream. It took good old fashion hard work during the day as my wife waited on tables and I would do manual labor on other people's boat just so we could work on ours at night. It took 4 years working in this manner before we completed our boat and start our circumnavigation. Then every port we landed at we would have to get jobs just to get to the next. That was 40 years ago and to this day we still live aboard. And no, we still do not have a youtube channel asking others to help pay.
Thanks for watching! That's a great way to approach this lifestyle and many cruisers still do that. Or they save most everything they need beforehand. That said, I think your notion of what it takes to have a successful RUclips channel is very incorrect. It also sounds like you know very little about our personal story. There are literally thousands of people out here living the cruising life and only a very small percentage make videos about it. Among those, most do it just for fun and so their families and friends can see what they're up to (which is why we started our channel as well). A much much smaller percentage of channels have developed any appreciable viewership. Our videos (like most) are 100% free to watch. We're happy to say we have Patreons who appreciate our work, but our videos never ask for people to "give us money". I (Eric) still work full time aboard the boat in the same career I had before we left land as an audiobook narrator. Loren puts in countless hours to construct quality, entertaining videos that people enjoy watching (doing this well takes a LOT of work to learn and execute...have you tried it?), which is finally, after 4 years of doing this, making us a little bit of money. So I guess my point is - we and other channels like us are usually still working other jobs remotely or on land and ALSO putting in a ton of work to make quality FREE videos for people to enjoy...and most are still making very little or nothing from it. So while the way you managed this life is fine and admirable, you clearly don't know enough about what it requires to do it the way we do it to criticize it or suggest we're doing it "wrong". Cheers!
@@SailAwayVlog I was hoping you would not take the comment wrong or hateful. However, maybe just maybe there was some animosity or jealousy to my comment. I probably should not have said anything if I did not have positive things to say. And indeed you are correct saying I do not know your story. So no hard feelings and thanks for the video.
Thank you, and no worries. We've come across so many families out here and they're all making it work in different ways. As you know, however you can do it, it's worth the effort!
Lol, "Like" if you think Eric looks and sounds was David Letterman 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Lol
Thank you your comments and your information on Hunters is amazing and reassuring.
The larger Hunters are as you say… so blue water boats... but I'm convinced only non sailors ever really say a boat isn't blue water.
I am looking at a Hunter 420 Passage (has to be centre cockpit)... as Lady Kay sailing dude says... there are better boats but they cost three times the price.
The 420 is perfect for me and my friend... and I'm taller than Eric.
VERY NICE BOAT. Always loved the Hunter. Thank you
Thanks so much!
Really enjoyed the tour! Loren you look pretty. Nice looking boat especially your bedroom how you can walk by the side of your bed. Rivers room was really cute with the little boats hanging and the little gifts he received from friends ♥️
Thank you! He really likes to escape us and hang in his room sometimes. Lol.
Subscribed! Lovely family, great filming.
Thank you!
