"The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The leader adjusts the sails.”

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Exactly!

[@Trustgreg112]

You two look good together. Congratulations I’m happy for you both ❤️❤️❤️

[@singlespeedrider1]

[@MythicRealmsArathia]

[@deannacalef3513]

Congratulations on a successful voyage. My heart is still beating. For a while I didnt think it was going to beat again. Those dolphins were so beautiful. 😊

[@Adventureman_Dan]

You and me both! What a trip!

What does the word excited mean? Sailors are excited many times in explaining life in my observations of my word study...m

[@mozcoast6758]

Wow, scary encounter - even without AIS I would think you would have set off their radar alarms. UNBELIEVABLE a cruise ship would just be flying along without any concern for vessels that don’t transmit AIS. Maybe you know this but a simple AIS receiver allows you to see other vessel’s heading and speed over ground so it is a lot easier to make a precautionary course correction when you have those details.

[@Adventureman_Dan]

I completely agree! But yes I've also heard it's easiest to get an AIS that only transmits. But at the moment I run very budget systems.

[@TommyPlesky]

That's crazy! Any idea why do they come so close to you guys? You they didn't see you, or just didn't care?

[@Adventureman_Dan]

I think they assumed I was another boat a couple miles away......

[@Carlos_KQ]

That cruiser could not in anyway have seen you at night. No AIS, no see. Have fun, Dan...and install an AIS.

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Starless moonless night when I have several lights on..... ok guess they can't afford someone on watch. 😂

[@sachamo100]

Two handsome sailor men.

[@juliazentner681]

Just curious..are you towing paddle board for drag or?

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Not for drag. It was just the best place for it. As long as it's not a fast, following sea sail, it's good.

[@Fatrotry]

So Denis cooks, wash the dishes, pulls the anchor, contributes in your videos and all you do is be a captain and give orders ?!

[@QWTrucker]

After this close call are you getting AIS installed in your boat?

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Honestly..... probably not. 😄 I'm sure I will after a few other upgrades first. :)

[@QWTrucker]

@@Adventureman_Dan watch out for cruise ships I’m sure they most definitely not looking out for you.

[@JeroenSWart]

hail to the nap-king!

[@Adventureman_Dan]

He's the best!

[@justfun287]

:) hello again!

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Welcome back!

[@sonicorigin-music9472]

jojo huge fan here! could u tell me the name of the track that u played in the video at: 6:55 please :D

[@g-sailing4427]

Why not store the paddle board in the dinghy?

[@Adventureman_Dan]

It's WAY to big for that.

[@KevinColt]

There are rules in the ocean whos got priority of course, are you sure a sailboat has priority over a cruise ship?

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Hahaha, I radioed the ship, he said he'd turn to avoid me......

[@bitethebullet8213]

more undie pics please!!

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Hahahaha 😆 😂 😆
