Dreaming of the Bahamas.....Sailing on a Budget - Episode 20

[@robinhughes7576]

I am so excited to go with you when you SAIL to the Bahamas! Although it will be vicariously, I'm still excited and I'm very excited for you! Again, as always, great video, I love you brother!

Great video. I think you’ve now convinced me to invest in a dinghy with an outboard instead of a sailing dinghy 😂

[@sailingonabudget]

🤣🤣 Nice ! Actually I do have an outboard for it, and my next little excursion I have planned will require me to use it. Stay tuned !

Happy to see you o. The water you'll get there

[@sailingonabudget]

Oh it's happenin' man, it's happenin' !! 😁👍

[@sailingwyn]

Just discovered your channel. Good stuff👍 Can’t wait to see you make the crossing over to the Bahamas. Fair winds⛵️

[@sailingonabudget]

Lol, me too !! Seriously though, I am really planning things out as thoroughly as you can, knowing that sailing plans are never set in stone. But it is truly looking good for this venture. 👍

@@sailingonabudget you have the boat. You have the determination. You have the skills. You are good - you will get there 👍👍

[@SouthernInfluence]

Thank You. Great Vids. I keep my teak natural also. I use Semco. I'am taking Southern Influence ( Pearson 323 ) to the Bahamas as well. Hope to see you there.

[@sailingonabudget]

Thank you ! The 323 is a great boat, almost got one myself. It would be great to see you in the Bahamas. I hope we can make it happen.

New sub here. Love the way you are open with what this cost. I am about to buy a 1985 Island Packet 27. Sounds small but she is 10.5 feet wide and man that makes a difference. For me it is the right boat at the right price but at the wrong time. This time next year would have been the right time. However it is a dream of mine and I am a certified marine tech so I know how to do any repairs that it needs now or come up so i think I am going to go for it. Might end up selling my music gear and gun collection for parts but that is OK.

[@sailingonabudget]

Thanks for the sub. IP's are great boats and 27 is a fine size. We lived on a Catalina 27 for 3 years back in 89-92. In my case I'm willing to sacrifice future income for time. But you can't make more time so for me it's worth it. Hope my videos inspire you to do it !

[@SailingInRealLife-v7b]

did you have the dodger made locally? And if so, can you share who did the work.? I'm around Jacksonville and would like a local source. Thanks and thanks for all your vids.

[@sailingonabudget]

@@SailingInRealLife-v7b Thank you for watching ! The Boatswain's Locker on Lakeside drive made the Dodger and my mainsail cover. 👍 I'm pretty happy with the results.

@@sailingonabudget would you share the price...just so my heart doesn't stop when he quotes me his price 😁
