This was such a fun collaboration! I really hope that our honest answers are going to help many out there who would like to do this or a similar lifestyle, or simply have these questions :). And of course, if there are other things you'd like to know of us, post it in the comments!
Huub, you had an awesome interview with Dan! I had no idea that you had so much in common because your videos have such different styles and I love them both. Huub, I really enjoy the different ways that make a European person completely different from an American person. Even the way that English sounds when you speak it sounds exotic to me. Thank you both for the hard work that it takes to make these videos.
Dude, it's mad to me that a guy who does such cool stuff, is willing to take on an adventure, and who is as handsome as fuck wakes up in the morning and checks the comments to see if people like it or not. I'm sat here thinking fuck, if I were that guy I'd be sorted. Evidently not, we all have the same struggles to different degrees. You seemed like a cool fella, I subscribed to your channel.
@@maewest68 I have found that everyone have the same feelings of not being handsome enough no matter how gorgeous they might be. This does not apply here, but the guys that spend hours everyday exercising each and every muscle in their bodies can be the most insecure of all. Huub and Dan are handsome from genetics and their bodies have muscles from living in the outdoors and working hard physically, they’re not fakes from lifting weights. It’s much better to swim in the ocean or to work patching fiberglass all day long. These real men are not frauds even though they share the same feelings of inadequacy that the common person feels.
This is truly inspirational... I'm here in the US burned out so much work... drugs and alcohol. I'm seriously thinking about my future. You guys are my role models. This is what I need. I need to sail.
Man that is so true. I cannot think my thought and dream my dreams if I'm having to talk inanely about sod-all, eg a sale on in a make-up shop or one of the girls at work jilting her man because he didn't want to get married. Heaven help us.
Dan, I really liked the clarity that you & Hubb provided both on boat life in general and in the impact of social media. I’m 73yo with my 1st boat & not so much wanting to be a you tuber, but a great desire to escape all the negative news & social media. I’m on the Chesapeake Bay, learning the basics of sailing, but would love to sail to the Bahamas. Sometimes when out there I think just a left turn instead of a right & I could be on my way! For now I have much to do on my boat & im still learning basics. I really enjoyed listening to you and Huub. I have been following him for a few months now & I subscribed & liked yours today. Thanks again for sharing! R/Jim Grigsby Virginia Beach
Hey guys Dan/Huub thanks for such an honest and entertaining production, its really good to see the better 'real' perspective and advice its good to see such great chemistry between you two, with different experiences and perspectives from past and present.. hope you guys stay in touch with each other and give more content...really enjoyed the honest conversation between you 2..
Man that was amazing! I've been watching sealing videos for the past~4 years but I certainly appreciate your raw Q&A session. I turned 52 y/o this week and have a great deal of respect and admiration for what you both are doing. I wasn't willing to take the risks at your age but wish I would have. Best of luck and Subscribing to both channels! Good Bless and stay safe!
hahaha, told you about Dan and now you are on his boat. So funny! Great interview/talk. Magical energy coming of you both realizing that your souls are touching.
Hey Dan, I am looking into a Ketch designed by the late Hugh Angelman and in doing so I saw a photo of him which I saw an amazing resemblance between the 2 of you especially in the eyes. Just had to mention it. I enjoy your channel.
Ok guys...I have another story regarding "do you like your boat?" I was looking for an economical auto especially with high gas mileage and came across an auction selling an 05 Honda Civic hybrid with 260,000 miles. this occurred over a year ago. I won the bid and had to work on it (myself). Replaced struts, tires and passenger window (and other work). Let me preface the rest: I have the means to have almost any auto I want. I LOVE this vehicle and drive it everywhere!!! I NEVER compare it to any other people's vehicles. I bought it cheap, fixed it, and love driving it. Huub, please get away at all costs thinking about what others have!
Dude you are smart I wish I was you in my past. I party and traveled few places in the world loved it but after all got married have children got divorced and experience women malice prosecution. Now I am focus to learn how to be a sailor learning from a 22 foot sail boat and preparing my self to became you one day, that's why I said I wish I was you in the past. Great exchange of thoughts from you guys on this video, keep up the good work.
@@Adventureman_Dan me too hoping to come across nice people like you guys. Now I am training my skills and making my future sailing plans. Thanks for the reply
Only another RUclipsr can understand what another RUclipsr is going through. We dont get many bad comments but when our loyal viewers defend us, that is awesome. larry
Sailors are special. The longer you do it alone, the harder it will be to connect with non sailors. Try to keep a balance unless you are OK with not being understood by landlubbers. Maybe that's a dynamic I've found as a woman. Men possibly don't care about that level of connection.
@@Adventureman_Dan not sure where your at, I’m on pacific coast Mexico ( puerto Escondido, surfing)..going to look at a boat in Puerto Vallarta..if your ever around be great to do a interview…
Another great video Dan ! Thanks for all the great content. Ive been going down the rabbit hole of videos since thinking about changing it and your videos are fantastic. P.s.. would you be willing to give us the nigiri "crack sauce" recipe ?!
Dan, the reason that I've found to be lonely around other people is due to the fact that most people don't want to hear a story, they want to tell it only. Maybe that's something you are dealing with? I'm fascinated and impressed with what you've accomplished. Very impressive to me. People have become more narcissistic and self centered and for that matter more self-righteous. The self-righteous thought came about from Huub's comment about smoking. The self-righteous have condemned and demonized anything they don't agree with. So I sensed Huub was reluctant to share that and brave (in these times) to share it. When I was young we rebelled against those types of authoritarians so we smoked, drank and did drugs lol (I agree, not good for long term health) but it was our choice! I'm thinking about smoking again myself just to piss off the authoritarians lol.
19:00 This is so common for most serious content creators. People are so used to just seeing the final edit that they forget or just never know how much time this job takes out of your week. It is literally like working 2 full-time jobs. This, when paired with the fact that the majority of females in our generation (millennial) are very self-centered when it comes to relationships, makes the struggle that much worse. Throwing a boat on top of that is basically a kill-shot for a relationship.
Dan, extroverts recharge when in the company of other humans; introverts recharge when alone. I'm proud to be an introvert and it seems the less I have to talk to others, the happier I am.
@@Adventureman_Dan Gotcha. I’m bicoastal and usually sail out of Marina Del Rey or Sausalito when on the West Coast. Currently in Mass and doing the Cape, Buzzard’s Bay.
Mine is going to be 24 feet and I'm going to sail in circles around those big heavy expensive maintenance nightmare boats and laugh, then sail into all the shallow anchorages and laugh again watching them roll around anchored way out there.
You have to be hardcore with people on your boat. 'Ok it's time for you to leave, you have 4 hours'. I'm 55... do not get married... do not have kids. Ultimately it seldom works out. I don't drink or smoke either... but my future boat will be sinking with chocolate.
Ha ha... sailing solo is Paradise, in a weak moment I welcome HELP but in reality, people suck, bleed, barf and crap on your home with indifference!! Rarely doing what is asked by a female captain...
I thought Huub was a Spaniard , becuase of his big and hard head. But I am jelous of his balls, for I am on land wishing I lived his life. Cheers inspiring LEGENDS.

Thanks soo much for coming over to Adventureborne buddy. Keen to see where our adventurous lifestyles take us next.
@@Adventureman_Dan You are awesome Dan! Thank you so much, if this message was written to me or even if it wasn’t.
This is truly inspirational... I'm here in the US burned out so much work... drugs and alcohol. I'm seriously thinking about my future. You guys are my role models. This is what I need. I need to sail.
Get out there on an adventure buddy!
I'm with ya. I'll be out there in a couple years if it all pans out right. Hope you get the chance.
Thank you very much for this insight conversation, Huub and Dan. Somehow you are talking about living challenges in general.
Glad you liked it!

Take the turn, James. 😀
I'm 63 and passed my Dayskipper this year so nice to hear from someone older learning to sail!
You guys are way ahead of me on all this adventure AND much younger but the one bit of advice I have is DON'T worry about getting married!!!!
Don't worry, I'm not concerned. :)
Great video. One of your best. Love it. Keeping it real 😎
Thanks buddy, will do!
Hey guys Dan/Huub thanks for such an honest and entertaining production, its really good to see the better 'real' perspective and advice

Great talk guys, fun that you met up and make the video. Stay positive, solo and go for it..
Thanks soo much Pieter, will do man.

Awww that's awesome 👌
Amazing video guys ! Hope to see many more! 👍
Glad to hear, will do!
Great conversation fellas, been following Huub for a year or so, just subbed to you Dan. Love your content, stay safe!!
Thanks Scotty.
When I'm by myself, I prefer to be by myself. That's a good interview. Good questions.
Cheers buddy! :)
Such a great video Dan! I love both of your channels. Ill see you boys out there some day!
I'm about to sell everything I own and take off on a sail boat. Hope to see yall when I get out there.
Go for it Tyler!
Woa...my 2 favorite sailors on the same boat talking trash! Thanks guys for being real.
Hahaha aww thanks! You have great taste in RUclipsrs. 😄
As a non sailor here, interesting perspective of a life outside the "normal" way of living.
Glad to hear.

For sure buddy.
Comparing what you have to others then needlessly spending money to outdo or impress them is one of the dumbest things I can think of that humans do.
Really enjoyed this vid Dan!
Great!

That is part of why I try to take breaks from the boat and take on crew sometimes.
Reminds me when I sailed away from Vancouver in 96 , been still traveling since , but now married and surfing in Mexico….
Sweet!

Great to hear!
Ok, just this once!

Soy sauce

Hey thank you. It was fun to be honest on camera. :)
you do inspire
Thanks!
Really enjoyed the interview. Can I come spend a few weeks? What is the recipe for the Tuna crack?
You'll have to apply.
My take on social media is "don't feed the trolls." Also, don't give them power over your life.
That is a good mindset!

Right on buddy.
Exactly why I want to go sailing. When in the middle of the ocean hard for people to bother me with their drama or pointless banter.
Is Don Radcliffe still around to mentor? Massachusetts sailor here.
He is based out of Cali.
@@Adventureman_Dan Gotcha. I’m bicoastal and usually sail out of Marina Del Rey or Sausalito when on the West Coast. Currently in Mass and doing the Cape, Buzzard’s Bay.
Dan is so wound up tight... can't imagine what he used to be like before he "relaxed ". ..
Hahaha yeah.... hahaha 😆
That's because he doesn't do any drugs. He really needs some drugs.
My boat is only 29 ft😒
I bet that it’s perfect for you!
Nice!
Well said Mitchell. :)
@@Adventureman_Dan Thank you Dan!
