1. This is some really good topics to bring up about the reality of giving it all up for the sailing life.

2. I never had any intention to buy a boat, I think you have to be crazy to live in a boat… however I watched the whole video anyway. Something is probably wrong with me 😀. Anyway I love my inflatable kayak, more than enough excitement.

3. My experience with my partner was she didn't like sailing a smaller boat but really likes the bigger cruising boat. She also likes the going somewhere more than the spending a bunch of time somewhere. A suggestion for would be cruisers where one or both have little or no experience is to charter. If you don't find it enjoyable even when the boat and meals are someone else's problem then it is unlikely you will be happy doing it all yourself. The other things are baby steps. Emphasize it is an adventure and start simple and enjoyable not with a rough cruise to some distant location.

4. Many years ago I was a dock boy at a marina. There was a nice older couple who purchased a beautiful ketch. They lived aboard and never left the dock. They just wanted to live the boating lifestyle, but didn’t have the wanderlust. It worked for them.

5. Great points for debate. All true I reckon. Personally, cruising in Europe, I find there are now too many lightweights, so to speak, doing it for just a few seasons/ years, clogging up the place, creating situations of over-demand (and thus supplier price exploitation), who just don't understand or really care about the issues you raise….since a significant majority DO have surplus £££, so can overcome practically all the blocks by just using their greater resources….moreso where they are just doing it for the 'adventure' for a year or two. Well, that's what I see mostly (but that doesn't, of course, mean everyone – just the majority of newbies, I'd say).

6. Great realistic video, thanks for sharing and giving us a sanity check! We have a 5 year plan, the first two years is sailing classes and small one week charters. As we transition to purchasing a boat, if that is what we want to do, at anytime, if one of us is not happy sailing, we will sell the boat and move back to land.

7. Another thing that you could have mentioned is having to give up lots of "stuff". The process of downsizing your existence from a house full of rarely-used stuff to a boat with only minimal or essential comforts aboard is something that we have seen people struggle with.

   Personally, we found the process of giving things away to be liberating, but it was amazing to see the reactions of others who could not take in the simple fact that we were giving up the sorts of things that they were working so hard to obtain or keep – house, cars, big telly, top-end computers, big kitchens, gardens, and "stuff". Cupboards, drawers, sheds, desks, etc full of "stuff" (aka mostly useless c#*p that at one point provided 10 seconds of amusement)

8. As they say: "Be prepared for the worst and hope for the best!". Ps. We can use the example of Lord Nelson, he got seasick in calm seas, but he had a great maritime career!

9. I fitted a washer dryer & wow life changed for the better for both of us along with the water maker , Showers every day become normal for her , I found the best thing to keep a happy marriage is GOOD WEATHER ROUTING …. Some good advice TY

10. Three years ago we bought a 42 ft DownEast cutter and spent 3 years preparing it for living on and going around the world. Two weeks ago we finally left our home port in Oregon and started sailing south. We didn’t make the first marker and the engine overheated and filled our cabin with smoke! Turned around and prepared to return when the temperature went back down the smoke decreased. We turned back around and continued on to Eureka. About 4 hours later, we almost lost the Genoa in increasing winds- gusts climbed to 17mph and we tried to furl it in, instead we discovered that the wench handle was at the mast on deck . While my husband hung onto the furling line, having lost the clew line, I crawled out onto deck, grabbed the wench handle, crawled back , handed him the wench handle, started the engine and turned into the wind. With the winch handle my husband was able to furl the sail in and finished our 15 hour sail. Our next passage was supposed to be a two day 45 hour sail to Half moon bay when we encountered 25mph gusting winds with 3+ meter breaking waves around Mendocino Point. This was completely against all weather reports and even the coast guard report! We furled in the Genoa like pros and turned on the motor about 4 pm. At 5:30pm we suddenly lost all power. Didn’t see any obvious reason and scrambled for lights and cell phones so we could navigate. I took a reading on the compass as it became dark with an almost full moon. We talked nail out options and opted not to go to shelter cove since we had no radar, no nav lights or depth. Instead we aimed for Fort Bragg. We hand sailed- no power no auto pilot in 2-3 hour shifts until about 2am when my husband switched all power over to our started battery and because we were running the motor, we once again had power for the chart plotter, AIS, and nav lights. We arrived safely at Fort Bragg where we await parts for our freezer. The electrical was caused by a power wire to our Victron overheating due to a loose connection which caused our BMS for the lithium house batteries to shut down. Easy fix but created a big issue. I just want future sailors to know that the ocean is unforgiving and you have to have redundant systems and the ability to problem solve under pressure. You also need enough experience to make informed decisions. Hers to hoping we have smooth sailing for our next legs! Fair winds! SV Dulcinea

11. Love you guys – and "Please spend at least a week on a boat". thats shockingly great advice

12. The Endless Maintenance /Repairs get to me .

13. Love the term half a hour to sail, that is a good thing.

14. Oh great, another sailing channel. Can’t wait to watch it. I’ll just have to wait as there 9,978 channels already on YouTube. But so exciting to see you have a boating channel. Do you fish? Swim? Bath? Do you have anything original to present, or just the same old repetition?

15. Australian married to Indonesian woman- she is terrified to sail Indonesia due to the interrogations she receives from locals regarding marrying an Australian and living in Australia. Believe me, a lot of them really do not approve. The further inland or remote you go, the more intense the staring and interrogating becomes. They are NOT as tolerant (of us in our unique situation), as we would like to believe. Of course, nobody has tried to harm us, or blow us up- but let's not pretend it hasn't happened in the past.. The fact that I'm forced to pretend I'm a Muslim tells you about the levels of so-called tolerance or otherwise. Perhaps a gay couple mightn't find the place so tolerant either! Aside from these basic ideological differences we have, I've found them incredibly friendly.

16. I don't like the expression "Money is the root of all evil." What is the "root of money"? What are you expounding as "evil"?

17. I just say for f-ck sake a lot more these days.

18. Risks vs reward~ Your choice people!

19. Nahoa had an episode where some guy in a backstreet repair shop fixed an electric motor that would have been junked in the US.

20. Great Podcast with important points.

21. Thank you. Very sage advice, particularly on not being judgemental of other peoples or cultures. It’s valid advice for all, not just cruisers. A subdivision of the “get some experience” advice might be to be realistic about your vessel’s capabilities and ensure you have the right level of equipment for what you intend to do. Don’t be afraid to ask for advice, the answer to the question you were too embarrassed to ask might just save your life (or your boat). Once again, many thanks for a great channel.

22. The absolutely most truthful facts about cruising and sailboat life while venturing to exotic destination. Traveling in any method opens one mind with every trip. At least for most individuals. I met a couple that that the husband was still narrow minded after sailing for a short distance and time (1 year). In this example the wife loved sailboat life but the husband said, once you seen one beach with palm trees you seen them all. That is about as narrow minded as one can be. Almost every island and every main land is a totally different ecosystem. Different marine life, birds, reptiles and so on and often different culture of people if inhabited. Jim Rodgers

23. Millions of Thumbs Up to you both. Jim Rodgers

24. Damn, the truth hurts! I’m sure a lot of folks who watched this are looking in the mirror and feeling like you guys were talking about them. Thanks for this hardcore truth. ❤❤❤

25. My wife and I really enjoy your channel.

26. Really good video. So many good tips

27. One of the best and informative podcasts I have ever watched. We are primarily coastal sailors on the US East Coast sailing our 50 foot Bruckmann. Thanks for the honest assessments and keep up the great work…. Marc S/V Surprise.

28. You guys are fantastic. Thank you for providing such great content.

29. I think its a priority that both people in the relationship knows how to sail and use the equipment. That way if one is incapacitated, dead or gone overboard the other can sail the boat and use the communications. The couples sailing where one doesn't understand or hasn't been taught to do anything must be scared a lot of the time due to what ifs running through their mind.

30. Just traid him or her for someone who does 😉

31. Hello and thank you for your superb videos, I am almost 63 years old and my wife is 57, we plan to live on a sailboat like you, what do you think of our age to begin with?

32. Love my boat but no way I’d consider living aboard, what happens when you reach the age of not being agile enough to move around and you’ve blown everything you own to maintain the live aboard life.
    I’d hope most people keep a property rented to retire too.
    I know of a few people who are struggling to get out of the live aboard life as the boat has become almost worthless and they can’t afford to buy property now.

33. All true. Only I have the ambition, nothing radical, just traipsing around the Ionian, however wife hates sailing boats and "needs" 12 hours of TV a day. Plan B that she was happy with, was for us to retire to an apartment in Greece or maybe Spain and I have a smaller yacht, however brexit says no. I gave up coastal sailing in the UK on account of the 1/2 tide ramshackle marina berth only giving me 2 hours either side of high tide at spring tides and almost none at neaps, never mind the ever increasing costs.

34. if the boat is cramped…. get a bigger boat… simple as that. Any boat that's less than 30 feet wide is a no-go for me. too cramped
