I am an Australian guy trying to live on a small footprint. I take in crew wherever I go and go where the wind takes me. I catch and gather food wherever I can.
I have no fridge or freezer, no oven, no aircon, no generator, no water heater, no watermaker ...
So if you want to see some interesting places and some interesting crew then follow me.

Glad to find this early video of you and the monohull. Three years later it still is holding together despite seas and lightning,
wow ...steep wounded bull charges ...lay the mast on deck , anti-foul the bottom , check the sea cocks and check the zincs , start engine and make sure that works , navigation lights check ....launch boat into sea.....cheers
Margarite is so pretty and really fabulous on the boat. You should let her speak more as she is so sweet and really interesting. It is really good when she has things to say about what is happening day-to-day and the adventures you both have. You really take the Captains role too serious when you refer to the boat as being “yours”, and she is just the “crew”. Well done Margarite 👍👏😁
I agree with you...I reckon a good ratio would be 70% her and 30% me but unfortunately Margarida is a very private person and believe it or not it is a struggle to get her on camera.....when I sort the videos, any film with any hint of Margarida is at the top of the list and goes into the video immediately...and since we have to have content then I throw all the rubbish in with me to make up the volume...otherwise the vids will be 30s long
Damn good to see someone that knows how to apply material. 99% of folks spread it like a pancake and sand for hours
I was impressed, three swipes and it was done. I always end up overworking it.
Plucky, by far your best video to date. A fantastic warts and all showcase for people considering life on the water. Well done, keep them coming. I think she is a keeper...and so is Margarita.
Look at that bench.
It's not a dodgy job, It's called intelligent on the fly improvisation. Like a kitchen hand (Dish Pig) should be called a "Hydro Ceramic Engineer"
Nice to see even famous youtube people like yourselves can fix up old boats like us viewers. Proud of you Plucky keep up the good work and good luck with the launch.
Get those things done on the hard that need to be done on the hard done. Sealing portholes, rewiring, etc. - that can all be done at anchor. That gal seems like quite the trooper - exactly the kind of wife that a sailor needs.
Be sure and not forget to inspect all your through the-hulls holes below the waterline. Good video.
Great to see the two of you plugging along and making a terrible situation positive. Terrific update and good on you both!
Just catching up with your channel. Much respect for the way you handled being shipwrecked and bounced back!
If you can get over to the other side of the bay you need to check out Don's Marine Salvage, they have everything!
Best of luck with the new boat.
Those are some nice look'n cushions yes sir nice looking cushions. That said, I have faith you will do well especially with such great crew.
Marguerite was just another pretty face until I saw her using a wrench. She's a keeper, mate. Don't let her get away!
Agreed! Don't let her get away Peter! She has the heart of a lion!
I'm pretty sure she's not going anywhere seeing as how she is part owner of the boat! I remember watching an older video and he gave an update at the end that said she helped buy the boat. She might be sailors new wife with that ring!
Don't apologise fella. These videos are really interesting as they show real life and what has to be done when the chips are down. Chin up and keep at it. You'll get there. We all know you will.
Don't stress about us we'll be here when your done just get her sea worthy looking forward to the video of the crossing when you take her home
here is a tip for you all when using power tools put the cord over your shoulder that way you know where it is and you have control over it when you back up it goes with you when you go forward it goes with you great stuff Peter nice to see you getting back at it best of luck PS after the beating the area down there and in the Caribbean from all the hurricanes used boat stuff should be plentiful and cheap lot of boats got wrecked last year
Well done you two loving the positive attitude
Just say NO TO VERTICAL video people!! Otherwise good on ya, SO HAPPY to see you back on a new old boat. Fair winds.
You bought a boat because you like a challenge. Look at all that bodgy work :-) Enjoy the cooler weather while it lasts. The Florida heat and rain is coming.
Good on ya mate! Great to see you bouncing back !
Margarite is still with you! Wow, what a trooper. I can't wait to see where you will go once you get out of the yard in Florida. Maybe a year in the Caribbean before a trans Pacific trip back to Australia? What a life. Cheers,
Nice to see you are making a comeback and looking forward to your new episodes. Hope you are able to get back in the water again soon
Good to see you are getting back on your flippers Peter. Absolutely super of that chick to stick with you and help out. Good on her. Hopefully there will be more spearfishing and bow hunting videos to come!!!
Proud of you and the comeback. Lot of respect for your hard work!
Nice to see you getting back on your feet
5:44 is definitely an engagement ring! Are congrats in order, Plucky?
In some countries the wedding ring finger is on the other hand :)
Shhh
That's a cool little boat you've got there. :)
Wow! I watched this about oh, right after you splashed her and went back and watched your videos!!! I looked for my original comment and its not here. Oh well! Hope this helps! It popped up in my feed yesterday. And the other day the one of y'all trying to get into the country. LOL!! ✝️🙏❤🇺🇸🇸🇭⛵👣☘🧜♂️🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🤗😎
Top stuff
You have a good one. She has done more work in this one video than someone I know has done in years. ; )
Hey my friend...I can offer a set of hands over the next couple of weekends to help you. I only live 20 minutes away from shell point. Maybe you need a ride to a supply store or something? I do work during the week but the next couple of weekends I am off. Great update by the way...good luck.
Thanks Mate I will be more than happy to have an extra pair of hands. Please send me a personal message here and I wiill give you my contact or email me at www.sailingintofreedom.com/contact. Thanks again.
Hang in there, you two! You are fixing the important stuff
Bodgie. bodgie, bodgie Plukky. Loving this DIY boat repair. Can't take our eyes off your lil' Portuguese wrench wench. You're not even on the water and the scenery is still great. Funny stuff!
I love the war paint at 2:05. Fantastic.
Work hard on that SV sweetie, it going to be all yours in 2 years.
i actually said "Holy shit" when i saw the wiring and you were like "i know" hahah...
Nothing beats a beautiful crew. Just don’t work that poor girl too damn hard. Best of luck with all the work ✌️☮️💟☯️🌊⚓️⚓️🏝🏖⛱⛵️⛵️⛵️👍👍👍👍
Well done New you would get back into it , grab that combie in front of the boat , good to see your hooking into the jobs , it’s a good boat lots of potential and worth it find a second hand boat dealer for parts , as for fuel tanks use out board tanks , yes clip on out board tanks just add a line in the fuel line say two or three use them unclip one fill it and clip back good temporary tanks 20 Ltrs at a time , also we found buying halyard rope buy the roll for genoa and main was cheaper than having made it’ll you get home keep going I have to go and tuck a reef we’re over powered , more vids per week on the progress ups your patrage keep going
Go for it mate love the positive vibes !
Super proud for you man!
We heard you call her "Sweetheart". Well done Peter!
Wow I hate it when ppl runs electrical wiring like that! I wish I was closer to Pete so I could go help him rewire that entire panel! Too bad I'm in Maryland. I'm seriously OCD when it comes to wiring. Can't have any electrical issues crossing the ocean back to Australia!
Wishing you Fair Winds and Following Seas on your voyage to Hawaii :)
Sometimes rewiring the whole thing your self is better, less surprises in future, and can be done at anchor. just remember to pull a phishing line through when you pull the old out:)
Good to see your on the comeback, even if you don’t have time to edit yet, I love watching the guys that build or repair before they go sailing, so get heaps of video still, and you really need to remove all the wiring, ALL. I’m a electrician if you need some advice just ask but bad connections and speaker wire, its a boat fire waiting to happen,
I have 45 lb anchor you can have it I live in Tampa bay
WHAT A NICE GUY !
His contact page: sailingintofreedom.com/contact/ , He also has facebook.
Thanks Mate, please send me a personal message here on youtube or contact me through www.sailingintofreedom.com/contact I cant send you a personal message here on youtube.
SAILING into FREEDOM ,
Look at those corals.
I see others have already mentioned Don's Salvage. Another good place for used equipment is Sailor Man's in Fort lauderdale. It's worth the drive. Chain and Rode and anchors. very good quality stuff.
Try reach out to the boys at riviera palm beach, lots of top aussies there that will be keen to work for a few coldies
Like you said its all fixable , time is the enemy. A nice person post a rain warning !! that lives in the area.
I´m proud to be portugueese!!!....Força Margarida
I think you guys are in the Tampa Bay area. So get those window leaks fixed soon because the rainy season starts next month.
Russell Brander and the water is warm already. Might be a notable hurricane season
Make the hull seaworthy. You can do other stuff when the boat is on water. Like the work on the deck. It is cheaper to rent space on the water at a dock.
I don't know about thumbs up for the video but definitely thumbs up for Marguerite (is that right?). You'll never find a better mate (either way).
Best crew EVER. Sailer has a wife? That's a wedding ring on that digit Mr. Good luck and 2 ways to deal with costs. Lower them or earn more. Videos earn you doe mate.
Great update! Why not work on the window leaks at anchor? Unless the leaks are really bad.
Blisters are only visible if the boat has been in the water, for at least a week, and just taken out! Then the blisters are visible! if theBoat has been on the hard for a while, the blisters have emptied, and are no longer seen! A surveyor should do a sound check, and listen for area's that have hidden blisters!
Hi. At last I got to see who the cute girl was!
I'm impressed with the job you do with the boat, I think few will understand how much time and money is required to get that boat in good condition!
I hope I will have as many viewers on my channel as you have, and eventually find a wife who likes boats.
As a Brit I'm proud that you cuss properly ("buggered if I know"). But "buggerising around" is a new one on me. I'll test it and see if it helps.....
Bodge. Wow, hardstand costs...omg. Can you find a friendly landowner where you can hardstand at your own pace.
Good channel dont worry about not being on the water. Good to see you guys working the problems.
I think there are a lot of a bad boats out there crossing oceans that haven't been looked over like you are doing...
I DO really appreciate a safe approach. Good on ya.
Rule 1, keep the water on the outside.
Rule 2, dont fall out.
Rule 3, dont crash into anything. - Oppps sore point, but your boat will be sigificantly safer than a lot of boats on vlogs i follow. And i would do the same. Maybe its an generational thing, baby boomer consevatives low risk approach...
Yer, stays, anchor, rudder motor, through hulls, rigging, navigation, power water, fuel, jackets, comms, raft. You got it all figured.
And a good crew! Good on ya Margaretta. Most important part of the package! Im still waiting to find out why she is working so hard on the boat. Maybe ill check.on patrron for inside info...
craig me You do know his last boat sunk don’t you. If not check it out
Nice
Thanks
Maybe you can pick up a few odd jobs around the boat yard.
The comment about the wires made me laugh. :-D
I saw an engagement ring plucky
Stuart Tamblyn travel vlog yes I seen in there last video towards the end there sat close on the beach 🏖 she seams a lovey women and swam like she likes peat so hope it works out for you both use would be a great couple to. Love the vlogs
Just want to add that no fibreglass boat has ever sunk due to osmosis (pimply bum) nor does water in the rudder pose a problem. My S&S has suffered from these ailments for over a decade and I had no detrimental outcomes. I did panic at first. But then I did some extensive research on the issues.
Where are you? You said Floridians that’s me,, maybe I could come get in the way,!
Too late...look at the date
Hey Man, as I've mentioned beforewe'd love to help you get back out on the water. We am in Lauderdale and in the marine industry with tones of whole sale contacts, if you have supplies or parts you need let me know and me and the wife will gadly contribute and take a trip and drop them off...you should have my email already and if not message me here and I'll send it to you...take care and good luck with the refit mate
Thanks Mate that would be a great help. Send me a personal message here and I wiill give you my contact or email me at www.sailingintofreedom.com/contact .Thanks again.
Plukky, you need some rest mate...it's me Patrick who you've been talking too on the phone and via email this week. Check your email and you'll see that DS Hull have the unit you want from ACR. Please confirm it's the right one and I'll order it for you...I'm buying it for you, so do not worry budget wise, i got this one for you mate :)
i love to see people helping each other keep up the goodwork guys =)
"No princesses allowed on my boat." If I had been a cow, milk would have come out my nose! HILARIOUS!
Not sure if you mentioned it yet, Peter, but I’m wondering what boat manufacturer/model this boat is, as well as the price that was paid for it
Speaker cable 😂😂 for wiring
speaker cable for power.. lmfao...I spit my drink out
Running rigging
I have just replaced all my lines on our Outremer 5X ( only two years old , but wanted to do it before going through panama and into the pacific) so if you tell me exactly where you are I could ship them to you at no costs to yourself , just not too sure if US Customs would charge for it .
Cheers
SV A Fond
Thanks Mate, I would love to take you up on your offer. Sorry for the delay I am literally flat out and havent had time to look at these coments. Please send me a personal message here on youtube or contact me through www.sailingintofreedom.com/contact I cant send you a personal message here on youtube.
Yeah I'm thinking May be two months. Lots of work there and almost non that you can put aside for later. Oh Peter just can't seem to get a break. A sailors is not an easy one it seems but if anyone is cut out for it you'd be that. Truly an amazing guy. Oh I do hope Margarita is your girlfriend she is absolutely adorable and equally amazing. Anyway you guys always in my thoughts. Well I'm still a looser so can't help with cash but I am playing the lotto everyday for 40 years now so my boat should be coming in any day now I'm thinking. And I will make shit change damn it.
OMG look at that spanner
ok cool
I don't know how much they are but the fuel tanks. For trophy trucks can be 100gallons
I bet he keeps thinking, if only i had steered 100m west of those rocks, I would still have my old boat.
Damn I would be going crazy replying those kind of thoughts
You need to open up that rudder, fix it and reglass...that looks like it won't last too long.
Persevere.
I hope you get a few more volunteers to help get the boat work completed. Is the boat in tampa fl? Or Australia? Will volunteers get to sail a week with you and the girls. I want to go sailing with you guys. From ohio.
I will write it in his lady’s language, so that she can tell him !
Elle nao interessado obviamente, mendigos nao podem escolher
We are departing Guadeloupe this afternoon on our way to Panama, I have donated it all to the yacht club who will distribute the various lines to its members .
Happy sailing
SV A Fond
Fix the rudder.Since the motor, fuel lines, fuel tank, and electrical are all bad. Consider converting to electric. Find a old forklift motor. They are like 75hp. A couple of youtubbers have done this.
Fredrick Rourk this is a cool idea
Sailing Uma did it and one other channel.
That would be awesome to never worry about buying or running out of fuel! I wonder how many solar panels you'd need to keep the batteries going though... 👫
Going through a load of your videos, great stories. I dont have anything to give unfortunately, but I am letting all the ads play in the hope that you get something from that. Sorry I can't help more.
Don't worry about the $ Geoff we are OK now, certainly not like January, we won't grow on what we have though, we need more numbers....the best thing you can do, is when you watch any other channel be it sailing cooking RV whatever if you read some of the comments, maybe make a comment about us, don't post the link because it will likely go to the automatically withheld bin, simply write our name and say "that reminds me of ----" or check out this one etc etc, work it in to the other comments, if you can do that a few times a week, and I had 1000 more people doing that then we can keep making videos and perhaps repair some gear too and upgrade some gear....whatever you can do buddy would be great...thanks
SAILING into FREEDOM Will do mate, anything to help. If you ever sail over to Europe I’ll buy you guys a beer
Looks like sailor found a wife, eh??
get the boat antifouled and in the water do the work on anchor somewhere free
She paid for more of the boat than you did, your words. It's her boat. And she is a princess. 👏
That's a nice looking boat, what kind is it?
Why did you choose a monohull? for price or for the way it sails?
Do you think a Survey would have been money well spent ?
Trying to find surveyor that is good is difficult. Probably the point to all this is that all old boats are full of problems and you have to be johnny on the spot
Looks like sailor's got a wife with that one!
Did you get gear off the cat
The little we could get we did, like our personal belongings.
Might take a look at your links above, they’re not working.
What marina you at?
good thing he put a ring on that women, you wont find many like her around i think. She is good looking AND not afraid of dirty hands. That is a combination that is rarely found.
Peat if I had a bank account I would help you out mate but I’m sorry I don’t use banks. What’s your plans going to be once boat is ready to go back in the water will you be sailing back to Australia 🇦🇺💨⛵️🌊🌊🌊☀️
the windows leak - but I didn't buy the boat for the windows people
What kind of boat is this? I would love to live on the sea but dont know much :(
I still know sweet FA but just give it a crack
Margarite owns the boat?
💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
