Life is Like Sailing - Beneteau 38 Boat Tour - Part 2

[@StormSignal]

Thank you John for having us aboard. Alfy thanks for sharing.

[@lifeislikesailing]

You are welcome and glad you enjoyed it!!

Talking about filling the water tanks made me think, and I remember as a kid we had to hand pump water at my aunts house in the early 70's, from the well to the water tank. Good vid

[@lifeislikesailing]

One of the things we have to do as liveaboards....lol Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@SailLife]

Awesome videos :) Thanks for the tour both of you :)

[@lifeislikesailing]

Glad you enjoyed the tour Mads!!

Thank you! I really enjoy these in depth boat tour type of videos, as I'm still stuck in the yachworld-swamp myself.

[@lifeislikesailing]

You are welcome! Glad you enjoyed this type of video!!

[@davidtucker7730]

Thanks for the interview, John's story sounds like a few of us. Sailed smaller boats as a kid and now have a "75" C&C 27. We are looking to go to a Beneteau 331 soon. Funny how that works.

Thanks Alfy - really enjoyed this. Being in-between boats, it is nice to hear someone else background re. boat ownership along with the pros. & cons.

[@lifeislikesailing]

You are welcome and glad you enjoyed this type of video! :)

[@Oggiwara1]

Great video! That looks like a "perfect" size for a live aboard boat!

[@lifeislikesailing]

Glad you enjoyed it! It definitely had a good amount of space for living aboard!

[@murray7851]

Really enjoyed this! What a great summary of life on a boat!

[@vingreensill]

Great vids for parts 1 & 2. Envy you both.

[@lifeislikesailing]

Glad you enjoyed the tour!

[@svsilverheels7185]

Good video. I always enjoy boat tours. I would have liked to see some of the cockpit and deck as well.

[@lifeislikesailing]

I tried to get a few more outside shots, but we were on a time crunch for me leaving on holidays.

[@DonHarden]

great! I should have waiting as you answered my questions about the year of the boat.

[@lifeislikesailing]

Glad the question was answered! :)

[@cq7415]

Thanks. Thanks for captions.

[@andrewcozier]

Great talk!

[@lifeislikesailing]

It is so great to hear other's stories. :)

[@Scooopdog]

Brilliant vids lads, if john ever gets his Solar ordered it would be cool to do a video of install from start to finish :) keep it going , safe sailing.

[@lifeislikesailing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@petermuller7234]

Thanks alfy and John !

[@lifeislikesailing]

You are welcome!

[@tWoforgamenot1]

cool good for him

[@chantonsensembleavecsergeg8614]

Très interessant. Brav

[@raymtl8892]

Nice video but definitely would have liked to have seen the boat's exterior and cockpit!

[@lifeislikesailing]

Yes I should have shown more outside, I got focused on the inside and live-ability.

[@ferhomme96]

Great video. Well done. Pretty below, nice layout, storage amazing. Would be nice to have similar dialogue about the rig, deck layout, engine & mechanicals, and how she copes with nasty winds, and seas. iow where could I take this boat? Med, Greek Islands, Transat ? or not. Those sliding covers, will all end up pushed forward in a beat in snot, unless I missed the latch. Mine do. autopilot? reefing? Storm sails ? Maybe I missed a video about this ? Thanks for posting, I subscribed.

[@lifeislikesailing]

Maybe we can convince John to post a more in-depth video explaining all that stuff. :) Due to time constraints I kept this one a little more basic. Really glad you subscribed and thanks for that!

[@bigroundwatermelon6456]

We enjoyed the tour and this interview. If I had to have fold out cupboard doors, instead of those sliding doors, I would set them up so that they could become a shelf when folded out. Also, you didn't show the outside. To be more expensive, you might be able to turn them into a slide out draw, so that you can get to the back gear.

[@lifeislikesailing]

Good idea for the doors, yes, I had hoped to show more outside.

[@davesnothereman9214]

Shelf? Good for a marina queen, worse than useless when actually sailing, heeling and tacking, under way.

[@theislandpackrat]

Another thing to think about being a live aboard which your not thinking about yet is age! unless your like Allen Farrell and can stay on board till you die you get to a point where the boat gets to be to much to handle. Iv'e known ones that went to a power boat but still found that to be too much. that's why I got property and sure glad I did, because now I couldn't afford it.

[@lifeislikesailing]

age will definitely be a factor one day. :/

[@ccbilly6678]

Thx for the tour guys. What is the name of John's boat Alfy so I can introduce myself if I ever see him out. Cheers, Bill

[@lifeislikesailing]

Glad you enjoyed the tour Bill!! The name has slipped my mind a the moment, but I'll let you know!

[@todaysrealhealth8153]

John I'll sail with you around the world.

[@serenitycoastUK]

You should try getting some sabbatical leave from work get cruising.

[@lifeislikesailing]

I would love to just take off!! :)

[@kenlynch6332]

A nice neighbor to have moored next to you.

[@lifeislikesailing]

I sure do!
