I am a yachtsman and I have a very good idea of how difficult it is to achieve an acceptable level of comfort on a small yacht. Guys, you have perfectly solved the everyday issues of the heterosexual crew. Bold like and subscription!
FINALLY!!!! A REALISTIC sailing/adventure couple who seem to TRULY live off-grid not relying on rich parents, trust funds or the previous 7 figures they earned in high paying jobs. The ONLY sailing channel that I shall live vicariously through from now on.
Of all the RUclips sailing videos we’ve watched, this one is with question the best. It is informative. It is honest. It is useful. You’ve done an amazing job finding harmony. Well done.
You guys are really blessed to have found someone with the same mindset as you. With the crazy things that's going on right now I wish I had someone I loved and could sail away from the insanity that's happening in the US right now,😞
Thank you both for giving me a full half hour of time in which I was able to remember that a world without coronavirus even existed... because it wasn’t mentioned once in this entire video!
I personally think sailing a small sailboat gets you excepted into local culture much easier (you obviously have to stretch ever dollar (small inexpensive yacht)) as apposed to a large (expensive (they have plenty of money) yacht). Also the fact that you learn your true impact on the environment you love to be in, (a city person will seldom think of how much water they use to wash). I love the satisfaction this gives. Enjoy your lives, and remember, everyone gets to die, but only some get to truly live. Blue sky’s.
This was great. Probably one of the best "explainer" videos of the logistics involved with living on a sailboat. I know there could have been so much more, but I appreciate the direction and effort you guys give to make quality content for us. Thank you.
Thank you. Bring back memories for me. I sailed 14 years round the world on a 31 foot build in 1941. Was a steel boat. You have much more then I had onboard. Just don’t make the mistake I did and thought I have been round and sell.
I've been watching alot of sailing videos lately but this is by far the one that has struck me deepest in terms of inciting an actual feeling of doability. The warmth and passion you both show towards your life and struggles on the boat made me smile. I hope that I some day can find the courage to make the leap that clearly have made your life fuller, stay safe and happy sails!
When I was a teenager I was very into the sailboats and the lifestyle that you show in your video. I miss that feeling and enjoy watching your adventures and how accurate you show the real boaters experience. Enjoy your life.
These days it's so hard to find someone who truly respects and loves you. You are lucky to have each other. I think that is the key. I wish You all the best in future.
I was thinking the same thing. It's also rare that you find somebody who's skills and efforts compliment your life to make things better and to move you towards your goals.
20:05 If you wanna save electricity you can use a DC-DC laptop charger made for cars. They're way more efficient than converting your 12VDC to 110AC and then back to whatever your laptop needs. The Topland M4315 does a good job and comes with an adapter for just about any laptop out there.
When I first started watching, I was thinking what the heck!? I’ve been following since the beginning. There’s nothing new, no great adventures. Then I realized, this is the perfect video to share with someone who might not have a clue about the features of a sailboat or the compromises of living aboard. Thanks for that.
Great episode. A whole new look. Well done. Great information all around, but for the casual viewer who spends time in the sun, thanks for sharing that information. Skin cancer is a quiet enemy that sneaks up on you and while very treatable, is something once you have it, needs constant attention.
What respectable people ... show that whoever has character and goodness of soul has what he loves and enough ...! We have to help them in that excitingly sustainable life ...!
I really did enjoy this episode. In fact, I have enjoyed all of your episodes. You two are so down to earth and genuine in providing insights into you experiences while sailing. You are just lovely people and I admire what you are and what you do. Best wishes for continued adventures.
You 2 make a great couple! These are the moments you 2 can reflect back on when yous are old and wrinkly, rocking on that chair! God bless you both and stay safe!
Thank you for sharing your off shore sailing experiences and how you maintain living off the grid; the logistics and repairs. You depend on each other for everything. As a mountain back packer, I find your navigation, satellite communications, solar power, 12v systems and food preparations very interesting.
This may be my favorite video from you yet. Answered a lot of the basic questions I had about the Seawind setup. I’ve been looking at them for some time, one day soon the time will be right, and you’ve both been inspirational. Thank you.
Unbelievable how far you guys have come over the years. I remember your first episode and your first sail after the boat was ready... the quality of the videos and the confidence that you both have now comes through and it's been an enjoyable ride watching your progression.
That ending with the pre-recorded message playing while you jogged down the dock, pushed her off the swing and jumped in after was FREAKIN AWESUM!!!!! Icing on the cake of a well done video!!!
Best video yet. Cinematography is great. Appreciate your open and honest, down-to-earth style. Found you guys through UmAtticus episodes, bing watched all episodes. Today became a patron! Keep up the great work!
This really was a great choice to do a video on! It is an excellent recap of what you have done over the last 5 years or so! And every time I watch a new episode (or even review a previous one) I am reminded of how far you have come in your upgrades to Atticus! But it is good to have Key West in your rear view mirror! Your kindness and gentle demeanor are a great alternative to so many other RUclips choices available to those of us who love to live the sailing lifestyle. Atticus is really 'lookin' mahvelous'!
This is a great way for any one to learn everyday life and how to cope with off grid sea life.. you two are The examples of boat life... y'all make me happy thank you
I just found and fell in love with you two. I am a child of the desert and can say that you inspire me. Thank you for loving, being honest, and then generously sharing your bounty with us. We love you and pray for you! -dm
I sincerely envy you guys and your happy lifestyle! People like your are the blunt proof that we do not need to be rich to have fun and travel and experience adventure in a healthy and safe way. God bless you!
I don't even have words how to tell you. You are wonderful together and complement each other perfectly. That 30 minutes I looked at you made my day. Together you are the definition of what it means: simple, beautiful and true. wish you always have each other same as now. Thank you for allowing me to be with you these few awesome moments.
Excited to see y’all out on the water again. This is such an amazing video. You guys make it happen with what you have. Y’all are fully aware that it’s not the stuff and things that matter. It’s the adventure. Y’all are so inspiring.
Seen this half dozen times and love coming back to this particular video. Kinda ideal for beginners who don't have alot of money, but have seafaring dreams
Hi iam in Saudi aribia working as an expat,its Rammdan,and Coronavirus lock down,so i am watching you all the Atticus sailing project and it s fantastic,i lookup the word meaning for Atticus versus answers but found this one one seemed very flitting. A brave soul who knows no strangers with a smile that can light up the world. i am a south African .Thank you a very good and exciting youtube show.God bless you and keep you safe🙏
Thank you for sharing the pros and cons. Such a joy to witness people like you living out a dream. A famous Danish sailor and author Troels Kløverdahl (1943-2018) said : “Happiness is when your expectations align with reality”
You demonstrate well how difficult it is to sail on the ocean. I have learnt a lot. My late parents would sail all the time and I did not appreciate this at all. Living over here for years on an island I now know and I want to sail because your show gave me inspiration. I write a lot just listening to you two in the background. You are both honest and open in your struggles. Anyway, relationships are hard and we are caught on an island in the Andaman watching you two now regularly. She asks me questions about your excellent cadence and way of speaking. You both have excellent enunciation on the mic. She is studying hard to practice. I argue all the time with my local lady because she is a fireball (Italian temper) and a great cook of many, many Thai and western dishes. She beats me daily when I do not listen. (haha) You both remind me of my young mum and dad on a sailing adventure they did back in the day. Stay safe and positive always.
Wow, yep wow! You two really need to publish this video into a book, your attention to detail really will help out allot of people. I know this covid is slowing down travels so now would be a good time to get a book started
Just a thought. I would think it pretty easy to build a solar water heater for your use. 30' - 50' of black 1/2" tubing or pvc ran any place convenient tied to a 5 gal water container would give you water at 120 + degrees in a couple of hours of direct sun. Just mount the water tank above the "collector" tubing so it stays full of water and let convection circulate the water. A warm shower? Yeah...
This is now one of my all time favorites, what an awesome episode Buds. I loved the detail info on everything, I must have taken you 40 hours to make this one. Thanks and stay safe
I just randomly found this video. I watched it and was so impressed by what you have to do on a daily basis. You made my day! Sooo cool. Now my wife and daughter are watching from episode 1.
I’ve been following you guys for a long time, and this comment is late on a older video, but please don’t ever stop being you. Could be the booze talking, or the fact that I’m depressed with where I am in life,but please don’t stop being who who guys are or what your doing. I’m not living my life though your videos or other, I’m just learning until it’s my time to untie the lines and sail off. Thank you
been following your guys travel for a long time now - we are kind of living on the big brother of yours - also ketch-rigged, but 43 ft - but also housing not just the two of us but up to 7 at times for research expeditions... always nice to collect new ideas from other boats though! Thank you for sharing this!
Man, this was the first Atticus video I watched, and it was such a perfect introduction to the series. It also makes me look back on how I was doing at the time; height of lockdowns, lost the girl, alone, depressed, lost my job, etc. This series has helped me out of a really dark place, and I know that when I'm old and wrinkly, I'll be telling my grand kids about these 2 cool sailors who lifted me up when I was so down. Can't wait for atticus 2!!!
I just love you guys I'm so happy that you're doing so well there will be days that will be tough but you are in a very safe place together be nice to each other and take care
One of your best all inclusive videos yet. Clearly an excellent example of your increasingly professional video skills. Cheers and fair winds from Chattanooga. ⛵️
Brilliant film ... I'm living on a 100 year old boat atm in uk ... I also have a yacht that's 1969 .... I've learnt some great ideas from your film .... thanks
I'm using this boat as inspiration. You guy's have tackled so many things that I hadn't thought to consider. Beautiful boat, thanks for uploading your knowledge
Dear you, just watched your S4E24 which is truly one of the best most honest and perfectly synthetic presentation about what living on a sailing boat means. I've seen many of those on the web but yours is frankly the best. Enjoyed your tricks & tips. Keep this up and maybe we will meet in some anchorages sometime somewhere... cheers, (Bravo Romeo Newick 42 green)
I lived like you guys for years on my self built 27 footer. All the same systems. Same shower and water routines including capturing rain water. I never needed to fill the water tanks from the dock. (OK maybe once every six months). However, I attached the BBQ to the back rail along with a solar oven (fabulous for seafood).. I also made a Stainless steel water heater which hung off a side rail and made boiling hot water for the boat when the sun was hot. Like you guys, I had solar and a wind turbine. I had a newer Engel though. One thing I didn't see. I had a hammock attached from the forestay to the mast and used to spend all day in that thing just watching the view and reading. The boat naturally tracks the breeze so always had a breeze on me. I also had a very small Esky underneath the hammock for the beer. Absolutely an amazing lifestyle. I then screwed it all up and got a GF! What a great channel. BTW> You didn't need the 110VAC inverter for your laptops as there are DC to DC converters e.g. 12VDC to 18VDC which can be switched for any laptop.
This was one of your most interesting postings. Love the detailed insight. Looking forward to watching as you cross the Pacific and begin your South Pacific adventure. Thanks!
This is a great video! I have watched it several times and it is so entertaining. You guys do a great job explaining in detail your little boats features as well as all your hacks learned while living at sea. You really have made the most of what you have. Kudos to Atticus and her crew.
For me, this was a very impressive video, describing a very positive lifestyle, for an adventuresome young couple. There is absolutely nothing to apologize for in regards to the size and complexity of the Atticus. It is perfect for the lifestyle described. Good luck, guys!!!
I've had this dream since 1972. but kept putting barriers in my way. First it was alcohol. Then I married a wonderful woman with two wonderful kids and gave up alcohol. By the time they grew up it was time to take care of "the elders". By the time they had passed away, we were 70ish and my wife now has stage 4 ovarian cancer. This is a cautionary tale to any body listening. P.S. Don't feel sorry for me for I have had a good life and still have time to sail a bit Remember, "Carpe Diem".
thanks for sharing your story with us. Your wife and kids are lucky to have you looking after them. family is something we miss a lot while off grid. thanks for watching!
Seems you have a wonderful life, taking care your wife and kids, also the chance to take care the elders is a very honorable responsibilities, am sure you'll have even more fruitful life ahead...
Even at 48 this comment resonates with me so much. The things we most often regret in life are the things not done, or the things we waited too long before we did them.
I really love what you guys do. It reminds me of my ocean passages years ago and gets me dreaming of new adventures. I'm also team manual windlass, foot pumps, 30-footer for minimal running costs, cleaning dishes with sea water and generally self-sufficiency.
One of our favourite videos. Thanks for uploading this as well as all of your other excellent content. We live in a motorhome by choice, and whilst it's easier and safer than living on a boat, it has so many similarities regarding water, living space and power management. Take care guys, and never become "ordinary", just keep living the dream 😊 x
the more i watch other sailing videos, the more i am convinced you are actually the best per square foot of vessel, you are very systematic, organized and a lot more exciting , i love how you make your boat better and more solid, you are a joy to watch.
Hi guys, I am a huge fan and hope that you were staying safe in Panama. This video really reminds us of how small Atticus is, and I am constantly amazed that you do so much with so little space which increases my admiration!Cheers from locked down Ventura California
in the early 60s at my dads marina on Anna Maria on the south side of Tampa bay Fl , a 30 ft fiberglass sailboat came in and stayed for a few days with 2 english guys who were on 2 or 3 circumnavigation trip around. They had some great stories to tell
I lived on Terra Ceia Island, Bradenton, and surrounding areas there in Manatee County for over 25 years. I love it down there. What was the name of your dad's marina?
As Conrad might have said in one of his less somber moods, "… cast out mysteriously by the land to embrace the supreme bliss of romantic and simple life at sea." Fair winds. Love from Turkey.
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen on youtube. Your style of living is not only good for body health but the mind. Also, the combination of schools around the world from top tier relevant faculties universities, Mba schools must add these videos to their curriculum. Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoyed this video. You shared some practical ways that you manage living on a boat, being self sufficient and enjoying life! Great shots of your living arrangements and your set up. Thanks for sharing!
This is fantastic. I have shot many pieces in the Caribbean and met couples like you who are living their dreams. I have also spent many days and nights on sailboats, most much larger than yours and it was incredibly difficult. We had a saying: It might be a million dollar boat, but after a couple of weeks, it's just a floating motor-home with no space and constant toilet issues. But we fell in love with every boat I've ever been on. I kept having to pause the video because my pulse would be racing. Just the shots where you are setting on the boat, looking out. A daily better view than any mansion on earth with the trade winds blowing in your face. Go for it, guys. (And take care of your feet and skin!!)
Show more fishing! 😁 and spear fishing. My wife and I have watched from the beginning and are rooting you two on. We will help sponsor once we get back to work!
Really enjoyed this video. This is the sort of basic knowledge many people need and want. This was one of your best content videos. Thanks for sharing your life on your very small boat. Too many vblogs don't show the tough stuff. The hardships and the relationship issues and because they don't , when they suddenly disappear no one knows why. They only saw the videos that show everything is perfect. (Abandon Comfort, The Boat Life, Shaun and Julia Sailing and half the crew of Sailing Doodles). Thanks for keeping it somewhat real and your inspiring reflections on just how lucky you are and we all can be if we look at what we have and not at what we want. Good job "Buddies".

Absolutely! Love how genuine they are!! New sub and like given 🙂

What do y'all think about the channel "Sailing La-Vagabond"?

To be fair, some of those couples now make decent money by producing videos on youtube. Also, who cares where peoples money comes from?

"the perfect is the enemy of the good". Very wise words to live by.
You guys are really blessed to have found someone with the same mindset as you. With the crazy things that's going on right now I wish I had someone I loved and could sail away from the insanity that's happening in the US right now,😞

A very thorough and thoughtful discussion of living off the grid for new and experienced sailors looking to simplify their approach to sailing

thanks for sticking with us!! 😁⛵
I've been watching videos about living on a sailboat for a year. You two are the best
You did a fantastic job on that hard top ! 👍
Enjoyable look at the day-to-day working life.
Wow, yep wow! You two really need to publish this video into a book, your attention to detail really will help out allot of people. I know this covid is slowing down travels so now would be a good time to get a book started
What a lot of great information, professionally presented.
Just a thought. I would think it pretty easy to build a solar water heater for your use. 30' - 50' of black 1/2" tubing or pvc ran any place convenient tied to a 5 gal water container would give you water at 120 + degrees in a couple of hours of direct sun. Just mount the water tank above the "collector" tubing so it stays full of water and let convection circulate the water. A warm shower? Yeah...
Learned a lot- especially how much more you can do with so less. To quote "you definitely feel alive". Loved it
the best video I've ever seen on setting up a boat and showing how you use it to live day to day.......
This is now one of my all time favorites, what an awesome episode Buds. I loved the detail info on everything, I must have taken you 40 hours to make this one. Thanks and stay safe
thanks Rick! yep this one took us way longer than our story based episodes for sure!
@@ProjectAtticus iv just bought a seahawk 4 dinghy have to start somewhere lol best wishes from north shields tyne and wear
I just randomly found this video. I watched it and was so impressed by what you have to do on a daily basis. You made my day! Sooo cool. Now my wife and daughter are watching from episode 1.
I like how candid and honest this video is. Much respect for following your passion. GL HF.
U guys are the true Romeo and Joyce. Thanks for the greatest video.
What an amazing, intelligent beautiful couple! That was the best sailing channel videos I’ve seen yet!
I’ve been following you guys for a long time, and this comment is late on a older video, but please don’t ever stop being you. Could be the booze talking, or the fact that I’m depressed with where I am in life,but please don’t stop being who who guys are or what your doing. I’m not living my life though your videos or other, I’m just learning until it’s my time to untie the lines and sail off. Thank you
been following your guys travel for a long time now - we are kind of living on the big brother of yours - also ketch-rigged, but 43 ft - but also housing not just the two of us but up to 7 at times for research expeditions... always nice to collect new ideas from other boats though! Thank you for sharing this!
I wanna join you guys😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Man, this was the first Atticus video I watched, and it was such a perfect introduction to the series. It also makes me look back on how I was doing at the time; height of lockdowns, lost the girl, alone, depressed, lost my job, etc. This series has helped me out of a really dark place, and I know that when I'm old and wrinkly, I'll be telling my grand kids about these 2 cool sailors who lifted me up when I was so down.
Can't wait for atticus 2!!!
🤗 thank you for watching!!
I just love you guys I'm so happy that you're doing so well there will be days that will be tough but you are in a very safe place together be nice to each other and take care
One of your best all inclusive videos yet. Clearly an excellent example of your increasingly professional video skills. Cheers and fair winds from Chattanooga. ⛵️
thank you Mark!!
I like your style! My wife and I live on the coast in Maine out of a 30' camper and we have grown to live simple so to speak. Take care an stay safe❤
Brilliant film ... I'm living on a 100 year old boat atm in uk ... I also have a yacht that's 1969 .... I've learnt some great ideas from your film .... thanks
I'm using this boat as inspiration. You guy's have tackled so many things that I hadn't thought to consider. Beautiful boat, thanks for uploading your knowledge
Dear you, just watched your S4E24 which is truly one of the best most honest and perfectly synthetic presentation about what living on a sailing boat means. I've seen many of those on the web but yours is frankly the best. Enjoyed your tricks & tips. Keep this up and maybe we will meet in some anchorages sometime somewhere... cheers, (Bravo Romeo Newick 42 green)
Great info, I hope you're safe on the hook and being productive on-board.
I lived like you guys for years on my self built 27 footer. All the same systems. Same shower and water routines including capturing rain water. I never needed to fill the water tanks from the dock. (OK maybe once every six months). However, I attached the BBQ to the back rail along with a solar oven (fabulous for seafood).. I also made a Stainless steel water heater which hung off a side rail and made boiling hot water for the boat when the sun was hot. Like you guys, I had solar and a wind turbine. I had a newer Engel though.
One thing I didn't see. I had a hammock attached from the forestay to the mast and used to spend all day in that thing just watching the view and reading. The boat naturally tracks the breeze so always had a breeze on me. I also had a very small Esky underneath the hammock for the beer. Absolutely an amazing lifestyle. I then screwed it all up and got a GF! What a great channel.
BTW> You didn't need the 110VAC inverter for your laptops as there are DC to DC converters e.g. 12VDC to 18VDC which can be switched for any laptop.
This was one of your most interesting postings. Love the detailed insight. Looking forward to watching as you cross the Pacific and begin your South Pacific adventure. Thanks!
This is a great video! I have watched it several times and it is so entertaining. You guys do a great job explaining in detail your little boats features as well as all your hacks learned while living at sea. You really have made the most of what you have. Kudos to Atticus and her crew.
Smart adaptive talented salty sailors. I remember when you bought Atticus. Best wishes for health and safety. This was an interesting video. 👍🇺🇸
For me, this was a very impressive video, describing a very positive lifestyle, for an adventuresome young couple. There is absolutely nothing to apologize for in regards to the size and complexity of the Atticus. It is perfect for the lifestyle described. Good luck, guys!!!
I've had this dream since 1972. but kept putting barriers in my way. First it was alcohol. Then I married a wonderful woman with two wonderful kids and gave up alcohol. By the time they grew up it was time to take care of "the elders". By the time they had passed away, we were 70ish and my wife now has stage 4 ovarian cancer. This is a cautionary tale to any body listening. P.S. Don't feel sorry for me for I have had a good life and still have time to sail a bit Remember, "Carpe Diem".
thanks for sharing your story with us. Your wife and kids are lucky to have you looking after them. family is something we miss a lot while off grid. thanks for watching!
A very noble man sir. Hope you can still live out your dreams to voyage to places you desired. Blessings from 🇬🇧
Seems you have a wonderful life, taking care your wife and kids, also the chance to take care the elders is a very honorable responsibilities, am sure you'll have even more fruitful life ahead...
Even at 48 this comment resonates with me so much. The things we most often regret in life are the things not done, or the things we waited too long before we did them.
🙏🙏
I really love what you guys do. It reminds me of my ocean passages years ago and gets me dreaming of new adventures. I'm also team manual windlass, foot pumps, 30-footer for minimal running costs, cleaning dishes with sea water and generally self-sufficiency.
Yes it could be hard some times, But the life you guys enjoy is priceless.
One of our favourite videos. Thanks for uploading this as well as all of your other excellent content. We live in a motorhome by choice, and whilst it's easier and safer than living on a boat, it has so many similarities regarding water, living space and power management. Take care guys, and never become "ordinary", just keep living the dream 😊 x
Best dinghy name out there.
Fair winds, stay safe out there.
the more i watch other sailing videos, the more i am convinced you are actually the best per square foot of vessel, you are very systematic, organized and a lot more exciting , i love how you make your boat better and more solid, you are a joy to watch.
This was so helpful! Living on an island I have always wanted to get further out into the sea. Ya'll are giving me the motivation :')
Great Video. Im glad to be a part of it. Really informational. Thank you ! I really love both your attitudes. Very good show!
Hi guys, I am a huge fan and hope that you were staying safe in Panama. This video really reminds us of how small Atticus is, and I am constantly amazed that you do so much with so little space which increases my admiration!Cheers from locked down Ventura California
in the early 60s at my dads marina on Anna Maria on the south side of Tampa bay Fl , a 30 ft fiberglass sailboat came in and stayed for a few days with 2 english guys who were on 2 or 3 circumnavigation trip around. They had some great stories to tell
I lived on Terra Ceia Island, Bradenton, and surrounding areas there in Manatee County for over 25 years. I love it down there. What was the name of your dad's marina?
@@Lees920 it was called the Bayou Marina at the east end of Bay st.
You guys are awesome. Love the energy and respect between you, and thank you for the constructive tips. Be safe and keep giving us more!
thanks for your kind words and for watching our videos!!
As Conrad might have said in one of his less somber moods, "… cast out mysteriously by the land to embrace the supreme bliss of romantic and simple life at sea." Fair winds. Love from Turkey.
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen on youtube. Your style of living is not only good for body health but the mind. Also, the combination of schools around the world from top tier relevant faculties universities, Mba schools must add these videos to their curriculum. Thanks for sharing.
🤗 thank you!!
Beautiful, Great episode
I really enjoyed this video. You shared some practical ways that you manage living on a boat, being self sufficient and enjoying life! Great shots of your living arrangements and your set up. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, do it while your young & able. Liked you talked about protecting your skin - great episode - Love View......./)____
This is fantastic. I have shot many pieces in the Caribbean and met couples like you who are living their dreams. I have also spent many days and nights on sailboats, most much larger than yours and it was incredibly difficult. We had a saying: It might be a million dollar boat, but after a couple of weeks, it's just a floating motor-home with no space and constant toilet issues. But we fell in love with every boat I've ever been on.
I kept having to pause the video because my pulse would be racing. Just the shots where you are setting on the boat, looking out. A daily better view than any mansion on earth with the trade winds blowing in your face.
Go for it, guys. (And take care of your feet and skin!!)
Show more fishing! 😁 and spear fishing. My wife and I have watched from the beginning and are rooting you two on. We will help sponsor once we get back to work!
Really enjoyed this video. This is the sort of basic knowledge many people need and want. This was one of your best content videos. Thanks for sharing your life on your very small boat. Too many vblogs don't show the tough stuff. The hardships and the relationship issues and because they don't , when they suddenly disappear no one knows why. They only saw the videos that show everything is perfect. (Abandon Comfort, The Boat Life, Shaun and Julia Sailing and half the crew of Sailing Doodles). Thanks for keeping it somewhat real and your inspiring reflections on just how lucky you are and we all can be if we look at what we have and not at what we want. Good job "Buddies".
LOVE the new intro!
Yes Great one!
One of the best living on a sailboat videos I've seen! Very thorough and detailed. Thank you!
than you Chad!! ⛵🤗
