Never trust your engine! Learn to short tack in close quarters! When you use your engine, make sure your sail covers are off and you can raise them quickly when your engine quits. Yes you are right about people living on junked up boats.
I very rarely use my engine and tacking is a thing I've learned to do I mainly use the engine to go through and under bridges other than that I just like to know when I need it it works. Last thing I need is a engine failure going through a inlet with strong tidal currents and a draw bridge waiting to go back down.
You never went off shore in your videos. I told everyone I know to look at your stuff that your not what your saying you are. All talk for a image you think is so amazing. Stop pretending and do something serious for once on your whole channel stop leaving comments to look important it's not smart.
@@JennaHudson-ux5on I think your confusing going off shore with going on a passage. On my trip down I stayed within 20 miles of land and for good reason. The boat I bought turned out to have quite a few problems. Actually often I have wished I would have just finished my Islander 36 and not gotten this Columbia because of a lot of those issues. But that decision was made. And also the reason why instead of taking the shortcuts down the coast a lot of my trip was in the ICW, staying in areas that the boat could handle with it's issues, especially with the problem of using a outboard on the transom of a boat designed to use a inboard, but that's the way it was bought from a friend . I'm actually getting ready to put together a video of his ill-fated trip on his catamaran and also things that made me realize what shape my Columbia was actually in because of his trip. But as for going offshore, I've done that quite alot in my life and now as for going international or running consecutive days offshore with no autopilot on my boat that I haven't done yet and honestly with the shape my Columbia was in it would have been extremely foolish and careless. That is why that trip stayed mostly in the ICW and hopping inlet to inlet down the coast staying close to shore in case of a failure on the boat. But then I did also manage to sail (and mostly motor) from Colonial Beach Virginia to meet up with Sailing Abroad in Pasadena Florida for my first in my life long trip aboard my own boat with a 20hp outboard on the transom, previous trips where mostly day runs and fishing trips on boats. It's not a huge accomplishment for international sailors but to date my longest straight trip running about 1/3rd of the great loop. And depending on which way I decide to go with my decision on my boat this little coastal cruiser might be getting rebuilt for a trip much,much longer than sailing the Caribbean. So my question to you is,what have you done with your life? I'm living mine.
@@PennWolfsSailingAdventuresmy life it's dang sure not lying to myself and others. But keep going on your track. One day you might actually make it if you make smart decisions.
@@JennaHudson-ux5on Believe what you want to Unlike other RUclipsrs I don't have to put up a bunch of fake stuff, make my daily sailing trips into months long content just to fool people of what reality is. And the funniest part is my life really does take a lot of turns, but like I said believe what you want to do you can sleep at night, doesn't change reality at all.
I had a yt channel once building my alu cat. Wasn't worth the effort since first you don't have any views or ways of making money off it so its just another extra hobby .
True I figured I can do this more of a document for my travels hopefully one day it will get noticed but till then I will just keep going hoping for the best. Thank you for viewing.
Duuuuude. Your best video yet. Love how candid and real this is. Keep it up! You guys are gonna go far if you keep it up.

It's going to be hot going south in summer! Just a warning. Go north in summer and south in winter!
I'm a person that loves the heat anything between 92 and 104 is perfect
The biggest problem I get is the freaking batteries and remembering to check them once i get busy doing things.
A 28 footer is a little on the small side for living aboard ?
Nah different strokes different folks. I've always loved the smaller boats.
Oh don't remind me, I'm still trying to get stuff off the boat I brought.
Just remember when your off shore on a passage and something breaks, no fuel stations out at sea.....

Another useful tip is to only drink one bottle of vodka before making a YT video
I looked at the video one more time and I didn't see anything about what you mentioned.
