- I went scuba diving solo in Key Largo off my sailboat and found a cool old ship wreck. I brought my speargun and tried to spearfish but lucked out..... again, lol. Went sailing around the Florida Keys, did some night sailing and gave a rundown on how I sail my liveaboard sailboat

It's always good to see ya Man. Thanks for letting us tag along!
I found your channel this morning and have watched all your videos. I am a fan already. I’ve joined your patreon group and am looking forward to your adventures. Keep it going bud, you are doing Great.
Wow thanks man, that means a lot it,it actually takes me a long time to make these videos so that means a lot to me :) the videos will get better to I still have no idea what im doing haha
Awesome channel. Ive been following sailing channels for about 5 yrs now as i dream of doing it someday. You dont need all the fancy editing and music and crap that other channels have. They are all becoming the same. What i like about yours is that you are talking about all the trials and issues you are running into. All the stuff everyone else cuts out. Your channel feels more real because of it. The only issue i have is some of the shaky camera. I get motion sickness watching if its too shaky. I know gopros reduce that a bit. But otherwise, good stuff. You have a new subscriber.
Thanks for the awesome comment and feedback :) ill try to work on the shaky camera, unfortunately just lost my phone in the ocean lol so im gonna be a couple weeks behind on my videos
Make some hatch screens out of nosseum mesh, and if you don’t have a wind scoop for your forward hatch they’re a godsend on hot nights for funneling extra air down the hatch. Just found your channel this morning and I love what you’re doing! Keep up the good work
Thanks man :) yea I just bought some real cheap netting from Amazon but they’re such a pain to deal with so I don’t even bother lol I just have a portable fan that I keep on me at all times but I might look into those wind scoops,ur the second person to recommend those
Good episode... Anchoring out in the middle, especially at night leaves you vulnerable to idiots on power boats with autopilot engaged, hitting you... An anchorage is not a thoroughfare... Safer to sleep...
Ehh never really thought about that lol.
Yeah a cheeseburger in paradise that's what I'm talking about
Ill comment on all your videos to help out with the algorithm
Hahaha thanks I appreciate that :) that’s the kinda support I need lol I’ve been slacking on my videos I’m gonna back to it full throttle here soon
you can put the dingy on the fore deck - many cruisers do it at night to avoid thievery.
Yea I started off doing that but it was just to much work to do every day and made a mess on my boat, I’m looking into the dinghy davits though right now
I recommend putting up the main before weighing anchor. Gives you control of the vessel.
I get it all the way so it’s jst a pull or 2 away,I don’t see why not to go all the way though really I’ll give it a shot :)
Getting it all the way gives you control. The sail acts like an airplane wing. I was out one day and couldn't tack (catamaran, so it's a little different). Discovered my mainsail was just a little loose. No propulsion. @@OffgridOceanLife
Those underwater shots are wicked, n wild sunset!👌🙌💕
Thanks. Could always use a compliment :) the next episode is an even better scuba session
You're talking about the clarify of the waters in the Keys. All I can say is, wait 'till you get to the Bahamas 🇧🇸. Even better
Yea I can’t wait to get there for sure I can’t even imagine how awesome it is
Congratulations on your new boat and life. The hardest part is taking the plunge. The fact that you are learning by doing is also great stuff.
A few pointers from a long time sailor here.
Except for certain specific conditions go with one anchor. You have seen what a cluster two anchors can be. In poor conditions use more scope to improve the holding of the one anchor. As you mentioned, it is good to keep the spare on board in the event you loose the primary. You have a higher risk of losing both because they will get tangled and that will increase the risk of snagging on something.
Use your halyard to keep the dinghy up out of the water when not in use. Make up a three point bridle and hoist it up against the side. It will stay clean and also deter thieves.
Try not to buy anything for a year to really figure out what is a need vs a want. Boats can be expensive but they don’t have to be.
Cheers.
Awesome advice man I’m slowly learning everything u said,using the mast to store the dinghy and engine isn’t bad for the mast? I’ve never seen that,I’ve seen people use it to boost it onto the deck but that’s about it.
Not an issue at all. Just think about it this way. The forces on the rig are massive under sail. It is designed for much much bigger loads. In a swell it might be an issue in securing it so it’s not a nuisance. To be clear this is only for anchoring.
As far as towing in rough conditions the motor should be stowed and the dinghy can be towed in rougher conditions up to a point. Then it needs to be stowed as well.
One other thing about anchoring. Making sure that you have a good solid set gives you the confidence in one anchor. It’s tricky being solo especially in wind and current. Back down hard to make sure you are holding and adjust scope according to space or conditions.
Lastly for me I call the new generation anchors a need not a want. If you know; you know. So much less stressing about your safety and security.
@@northchannelsailor thanks man stick around I might need some more pointers lol , unfortunately my money situation is running a little tight so my anchor will have to do for now though :/
These things take time to figure out and prioritize as you go. Ground tackle needs to be a priority and bomb proof when living off of it. It’s your lifeline and last line of defence. Your home may depend on it some day when things go pear shaped.
Maybe leave a line with a fender over the side while you're swimming. If it get's a bit dangerous you can grab the line and get yourself back onboard. Be careful. 🙂
Yea that’s exactly what I do I have a dive buoy that I attach to a long rope off the back of my boat:) I need to talk about that kinda stuff on the videos lol
Can you include boat Make, Length and Year in future description?
Most won't care, but for fellow sailors its one of the main ways we connect, or relate. I sail singlehand, inland only, little Catalina 22, 1973. Hope to get offshore with next boat . Good vids bud thanks for sharing.
Thanks :) yea I shoulda added that.I had all that in my second episode “boat tour” video but it’s a Bristol 29.9 1978
@@OffgridOceanLife awesome thanks, I'll check out the tour,
Fair winds Mate!
i just found your videos and theyre great thanks for sharing !!!!! i`m wanting to buy a boat to live on too. do you worry about sharks being alone , i am terrified of sharks !!!! lol
stay safe out there.
Doo it, you have my word that no sharks will bother you lol
Good luck with your adventures, loved the video, hello from Aussie, Dive safe, have fun! 🦘👍🤿👌
Awesome thanks :) I wanna sail there at some point in my life for sure
Dude, I'm jealous of you. Live the life you want. I work in Sarasota, but live a little north, up closer to Tampa. Beautiful water and the best weather is coming to us right now.
I’m comming to Sarasota next :) I heard there not very friendly to sailboats though lol
Bought my boat in Bradenton that’s probly where ur at
I used to live in Bradenton...since 2000, when I moved here from WV. Now I'm in Ruskin.
Ahh I gotchya, get u a boat of u like this life man only thing stopping u is u :)
That is the ultimate goal.
You can glue a camera mount on the goggles or get the camera goggles.
Yea I was thinking about the glue lol but I just ordered some cheap camera goggles from Amazon, hope they work. Thanks for the tip :)
Attach it to speargun
If you guys have any feedback for me let me know, still new to all of this obviously lol but I wanna make some good videos so lemme know, I can take the criticism
Maybe some background music, voice overs, captions on screen when underwater or when the footage has heavy wind. Overall the footage is pretty awesome! Keep it up Ill be watching for the next video.
Yeaa I need to get on some background music for sure thanks for the advice
Remove and stow the winch handle. And the dinghy lifts are called DAAV-its, not DAVE-its.
@@EdG8r I do that once I get goin and get the anchor locker situated to :)
Get a cheap go pro and wear it on your head. Just switch it on when shit gets real.
Yea that’s what I have there but my diving mask takes up most of my head lol so the go pro keeps trying to slide off every 5 seconds
Ahh sry I’m half asleep u just meant in general not while diving, yea I’m gonna do that I was thinking of a full POV episode to like that
Id build a mount for the motor at the very least.
For the dinghy?
Oo u mean instead of the dinghy davit I gotchya
Yes.@@OffgridOceanLife
Yeah build a mount for the dingy motor off your rails. Unless the motor is to heavy to move safely solo.
@@OffgridOceanLife
atleast till you can get the davits. @@OffgridOceanLife
