Why I LOVE My Sailboat (She Can Do ANYTHING!!!)

[@CaptainJackSpearo]

Love this! One of my favorite sailing channels ;)

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Hey hey cheers good buddy. Stoked to get out on some more adventures with you soon.

[@AbeIsMean]

Your channel has helped cultivate my interest in sailing over the past couple of years. You are an inspiration to myself and likely many others. I can't wait to dive into this lifestyle. Channels like yours provide so much priceless information, I almost feel like I should be paying for it. Much love Adventureman!

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Cheers buddy I really appreciate hearing that. Checkout my Patreon page if you'd like to support.

[@dandupuis8812]

I am looking forward so much to a lifestyle like yours and I would add scuba diving to my list. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@tiyw6980]

Dan! Fun spending time with you buddy. We’ll meet up again 😉 I’ll grab a boat these next couple years and you can show me some things. -love it bro, -Lane

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Dude! That would be sweet!

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

I'm actually looking at a Bavaria 34C to buy. I crewed on several boats and your point about the sailing community is spot on and I love it. Who knows we might be sharing an ancorage one day.

[@terrarecon]

Been looking for an awesome sailboat video to relax with.

I have a Beneteau 393 Oceanis. Love her to bits. Wonderful boat and she puts up with everything.

[@Muphynz]

I think you and I are extremely likeminded people. I took a skoolie and rv for my adventures even though I have always been near the ocean and dreaming of sailing.... owning a sailboat always felt like the "rich person" thing...and I never have had much money. Now though at 35 i am starting from nothing and trying to get myself into a sailboat, learn to sail, and then head off. I am very hands-on and have done all my conversion and repairs myself. Keep up the awesome videos. I hope to see you out there one day.

Do you have a complete list of your updated gear, like the folding bike brand, and underwater leg Jets that you were wearing to speed through the water?!? That was awesome and I would love to research more about it to try and buy one.

Fantastic plans for 2024. Can you talk more about how you plan your activities on Cuba? As I understand, you're a US citizen, so activities need to fulfill the "Support for the Cuban People" clause.

Hi Dan any issues in your years sailing that vessel without a protected rudder?

Thanks for all the great vids! They are definitely inspiring. What brand pole spear do you have? I see it's a slip tip. I've only used a 3 prong, but want to upgrade to slip tip. Thanks again. Safe travels.

Headhunter pole spears all the way :)

My dream! This is a second of your videos I’m watching and I’m hooked. Wonder what could I do to make money and live this way.

You should!

[@papagunit]

Extremely inspiring. I'm wondering, is it possible to live this lifestyle part time? Could I do it as an extended vacation several times a year?

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Yes, absolutely

[@un_nownmusic]

I would love to mob around from place to place in a little fleet of sailboats with good people. I feel like it makes it safer and just a great way to enjoy it. Once my time in the army is done I’m living this lifestyle

[@TelamonTwist]

How often do you haul out to do regular maintenance/upkeep? Where do you prefer to do it and how much does it cost you? I’ve seen a lot of people say different things and while there are many factors which may influence the answer, I’d really appreciate a basic rundown from someone who lives your lifestyle. I’m a new subscriber, I love and appreciate all the information and passion you share. I hope to follow in your footsteps within the next decade. Thanks!

[@markgarry7866]

I just bought our first sailboat in San Fran. We live in Oregon. We need to get it hauled out which is 1200, in, out and cleaned. Our boat is 56 foot. We need to replace all the through hills and valves that were neglected. 16 the shop quoted 1500 each, well do them ourselves for a few hundred each. We need to fix and sort out the electrical and batteries, chargers,.....repair shop wants 16-20k. We can do it for 6. Then paint at 300 a gallon. Sails at 4-6 k each. Fortunately we have 8 good sails...a lot of work just to get it to our area, but we're excited....then finally off on our adventure.

[@jacktar-d3k]

when are you going to cross oceans Danny boy? i think you're ready for the next leap.

[@Adventureman_Dan]

I'll cross when there is that much more adventure for me on the other side than where I am now. :)

[@jacktar-d3k]

@@Adventureman_Dan Alright mate! I'd like to see you take on an ocean, I'm only starting to sail now, you don't want me to find you still sailing the caribbean do you?, I'll tow your boat across the pacific with me.

[@justinmichaelfrank93]

The swim platform is awesome

[@captvaghunter]

Simple answer... A shotgun kit . Lot more food , different kinds of adventures and i can't leave em behind 😅

[@pehotissadevo5083]

Hi Dan! do you ever plan to sail to Indonesia? we've got great spearfishing spots out here.

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Maybe one day! I'd love to spear out there. Not sure if I'd take this boat out that far though.

[@Uh-huh-uh-huh]

Your videos are great and I really enjoy them. I would love this lifestyle but would definitely prefer a catamaran because of sea sickness (and extra room). Considering doing this at retirement in a few years. (would love for you to do a video about which affordable catamaran you would consider switching to if given the opportunity or recommendation to others for cat people)

[@Adventureman_Dan]

I would switch to any catamaran I could afford.... unfortunately none such exist. But that's OK, I'm happy on this boat. 😊

[@Harveyspecter227]

Your videos are super inspiring bro. I'm 24 and I hate working jobs; but I figured out after returning to college that I'm better in academia than I am in the workforce. So I'm considering a nomad / remote career option. Do you have any recommendations? Have you met any sailors with interesting careers that you can refer me to? I'd appreciate it man. Fair winds.

[@scott.wallace8625]

I would look into the kratky method of hydroponic gardening. No pumps. No soil.

[@SailingNeshy]

Can that go from the US to UK? If so, how rough (or easy) would the trip be?

[@ChrisJHintonphotography]

Great content. I’m a local boater and photographer located in GulfShores AL. I been boating my entire life. 50 years old. Sailboats are a different beast for me. My goal is to do basicly what you are going but in a smaller footprint. I still work but I get every other week off . What would you suggest buying ? 30000 budget . I’m do have time to do minor repairs or refit

[@Adventureman_Dan]

That's awesome! Keep your eye out for a good deal on a smaller sailboat, they can be found out there!

[@kayweiss1862]

congratulation ! lot's to like and rejoice ! There are 2 dynamics in your and other cruiser lifestyles ,that are sorrowful : 1. environment pollution : lot's of the products used by cruisers are highly toxic ,especially DIY marinas are producing so many toxic substances ,consequently washed into the sea ,without proper management for trash and substances used ,for instance antifouling . cruisers want to live in environment beauty ,but they still have not organized themselves to protect environment as much as possible . it is an easy discipline ,to refrain from using plastic bags in grocery shopping ,only buying what fits in ones own bags ,but one can see again and again ,cruisers using plastic bags and dumping plastic trash ,even in places ,where it is highly unlikely ,that proper trash management is observed . new 'plastic boats 'are build and bought continuously ,but there is still no end solution for this material and it seems ,that even 'plastic' boat owners do not care . so much more could and should be actively researched and done . for instance cruisers organizing themselves ,to research and activate better trash policies for coastal and island regions and marinas ,instead of just dumping more trash there . 2 . killing sentient beings is a serious matter, but cruisers depict in their videos and photos only joy ,when catching aquatic animals for their food and hunting enjoyment . this can and should be changed ,by inserting a respectful recognition of the life taken and the seriousness of the act .

[@tiyw6980]

True, all true, KeyWeiss harnessing wind energy to navigate the globe, 1000’s of years before a narcissistic United States environmentalists could type on her plastic cell phone made in sweatshops, or thousands of years before she was even born is IMMORAL!! Taking only what you can eat, making the kill your self, and risking your life to do it, also immoral and recycling the remains for the other ocean life to eat, till nothing left remains, as opposed to hiring butchers to kill for you, and paying grocery stores who light their stores and keep their refrigerators cold with coal and oil fueled electricity, and paying employees to get to work who drive oil fueled and plastic built automobiles, and paying gas fueled garbage trucks, to bring the leftovers to a landfill, also, immoral. Shame shame Dan Shame shame!! Why don’t you have sturdier plastic bags that use 100xs the plastic, or hand sewn cotton bags with plastic logos, made by sweatshops like KeyWeiss does? Shame on you. KeyWeiss, I think you can’t tell, but we’re actually crying behind our goggles. You probably mistook our tears for the ocean. That’s our tears we’re swimming in. It’s shameful to hand carve a weapon that doesn’t use any lead or combustion, and kill your food by hand. I’m with KeyWeiss! She’s way more moral for shopping at grocery stores that I’m sure shes never driven an internal combustion car to, and for paying other people to kill for her, so she can survive Key Weiss, you’re so Wise!! 😆😆😆

Loved mine at first, but then i got really lonely. I asked a bunch of creators and random people to meet up, or join me on my 32' Oday Center Cockpit with a Captains Cabin. I don't have a family, so i was hoping that id find one in sailing places. Because i don't have a YT channel, i basically found nothing in a full year aboard. I don't like solo sailing, so im selling my boat in Marathon, FL Keys soon. If anyone wants to buy it. Reach out with an email addy and ill send information.

[@Adventureman_Dan]

I'm sorry to hear that, buddy. The solo life can be isolating. Try sailing towards the cruiser havens like Georgetown, Luperon, or others.

Thanks soo much for the support you guys. You're completely correct Hater gonna hate. It's the only thing their good at!

[@RVmotoTravel]

I bet all the diesel & all those repairs on an old boat didn't cost a dime either, haha. Not to mention the Solar, Lithium, other electronics, etc.

[@tiyw6980]

I know right?! Excellent point RVMototravel! Excellent point! I’m with you. That sailboat is crazy expensive compared to the free gas RV’s use, the free tires and free oil changes, the free insurance and free RV parks, the free fast food. Roadkill is way tastier than fresh seafood. I’m with you RVMoto. 100% I’m gonna take your advice, because RV’s hold their value way longer than an old sailboat. And when RV’s run out of gas I guess we we can just roll down the nearest hill, way smarter than sails Or we could we could make a sign asking for money from our fellow road travelers!!! 😃 they’ll invite us in their cars and share beautiful evenings staring at the highway. Way better than an ocean sunset! Way better! Smart RV Moto, very smart Where can I find an 84’ RV these days? I’m dropping all my sailboat plans, and forgetting what I just saw on Dans channel and getting an ‘84 Recreational Vehicle so I can park in a dark alley, or a Walmart parking lot! That’s living! Dan, you messed up getting a sailboat. Why didn’t you ask RV Moto for his opinion first!? Inviting women standing in parking lots to sleep in your RV is way smarter than women in bikinis traveling the world with you. Dan you just wasted all those days on tropical islands with beautiful women and great friends for nothing! What a fool! RV Moto is a genius. 😆
