    Nice boat, but I must admit, to act so impetuously about the purchase with
    no due process says trust fund kid to me. Or incoherence. It’s fine, you’re
    “kept.” It’s a great thing. I guess I just find it amazing how people who
    have no technical knowledge about vessels, sailing, or anything really,
    have never worked a day in their lives, are able to just buy and do things
    on a whim like that. It must be an amazing feeling to hand over unearned
    money and get a Beneteau, and a top of the line one with two wheels. It’s
    pretty. I have been sailing my entire life, but on shit boats my family
    could barely afford. I have scrimped and saved, and yet still can’t afford
    a decent boat. Trying to get into a Tartan 37 myself. I guess I am jealous,
    and that is pathetic, I know.. I read and read and read about boats,
    sailing, world traveling. I mean, my whole life since I was a boy. And yet,
    I am stuck behind a computer with fluorescent lights sucking those wondrous
    dreams of starry ocean nights out of my head all day, getting yelled at by
    managers who do so because it gives them purpose, solving problems for
    ungrateful assholes. All day, every day, inside a cube. You can’t even see
    the sky where I live at night. I know, whoa is me. It’s just amazing, the
    lives some people lead. Get popped out, handed a fortune somehow, and the
    world is their oyster. Luck is a hell of a thing.

    Great video and excellent beginning! You were really lucky with that
    tender being caught on the rocks and not drifting away. What do you think
    of Turkish port formalities? Manageable?

    Hey guys! This is so sick!!! I’m currently fixing up a boat right now in
    Bermuda to start sailing hopefully within the next year, also with very
    little knowledge or experience. Are there any good books or videos you can
    recommend that helped you out with the learning process? Thanks! Stoked to
    see more!

    world cruising for once and living in the moment, not being so caught up in
    jobs/careers. Im heading off on my first Sydney Hobart race tomorrow! Merry
    christmas to you both happy cruising I will be keeping an eye out for your
    videos.

    great success with your adventures!

    to Argentina…

    Enjoy the trip both of you.

    It’s so wonderful that camera technology has advanced to the degree that we
    can all share our adventures. I wish it was this good in the 1980’s and
    even 90’s when I was traversing the caribbean. Good news is I’m not done
    yet (: Not sure I will ever make a good video like this but hope so. May I
    ask what camera(s) you are using and what video editing software?

    Just watched your first installment, loved it.
    Im refitting Peregrina, a Morgan 382 and hope to leave Eastern Long
    Island, (USA) next November, after the hurricane season. Cant wait to see
    more of your adventures.
    Hit me up if your anywhere near NYC after you cross, Ill buy you both a
    beer!

    I am a subscriber now. I too am a fan of sailing unfortunately I have not
    had a lot of experience but was able to study a lot and hope to do the same
    as you and buy a boat learn it and see the world. Considering the death
    traps that people sailed in the 1800’s, 1900’s, these present day boats
    are far safer.

    Love your channel. Look forward to many more videos. When you make it to
    the Bahamas be sure to stop by Staniel Cay…swimming pigs, swim with the
    Sharks, Iguana Island, Thunderball Grotto. Lots of adventure. I fly for the
    yacht club there and will be sure to hook you guys up. Cheers

    That looks nice!
    I want to build my own boat though, adding all the luxuries I want and need.
    I also want spring assisted hydrofoils and everything I need to actually
    make electricity, not only via solar cells, but also from the forces
    provided by the water, which then again can be utillized to make power,
    power I can use to make hydrogen, which then again can be used for either
    propulsion by the engine or as a heating source for making food.
    Sounds good, doesn’t it?
    I tend to get a bit carried away with these ideas, but you could use this
    for your next trip.
    And your company makes me jealous, I wish I could have a pretty girl like
    that as well… which could happen anytime in the future.
    Have fun =)

    Excellent. Looking forward to many more. Can we have the backstory. How did
    this adventure all begin?

    If for whatever reason you decide to give that boat away for free please
    let me know hahaha

    My family (wife, 3 kids) start our adventure next September. Our boat is
    patiently waiting while we detangle from regular life.

    For now, I will live vicariously through the 2 of you.

    Great premiere video. Look forward to following your journey as it unfolds.
    How often do you plan on doing videos, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc.? As
    for the your learning curve, there are great educational series available
    online. Of course nothing can measure up to on-the-job training. Stay safe.

    the best and im gonna follow you ! :D

    Going around the world, without an HF radio? Look into getting your ham
    radio license, it really really makes life at sea alot more fun, and it
    really helps. Great video! Did you actually lose that tender?
