I Bought a Sailboat Instead of a House

[@photogenicmale]

Don't tempt me. I might just end up living on the water.

[@Matthew_Corvelo]

I can vouch

[@mowensmd]

One of the best compiled/edited videos on sail life for real. From one sailor/keyboard player to another.

[@gothbabemusic]

Appreciate the kind words, thanks for watching! 🙏

[@kolecutler8653]

I have never commented on a KZbin videos, but I am actually so impressed by your storytelling. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS

[@Aldersandfirs]

Our favorite globetrotting musical madman is back at it again 🫡🌊

[@DannerCronise]

All of these videos you’ve been doing recently have been incredible. I love your story telling style. It’s cool that you have some fun/loving friends that are able to go on these adventures with you. Looking forward to the next one!

[@gothbabemusic]

Thank you tons, I’m really stoked you like them!

[@SailingFrolic]

Hey, another cruising sailor under 40! Im always glad to see someone else join the lifestyle! Really beautiful boat, and awesome progress on the projects! Nice tunes too! Makes me wanna do a flotilla jam sesh sorta thing one day. Maybe!

[@WildlingSailing]

Daym! I was listening to you today while doing my boat work!

[@aceshigh5338]

Please keep these types of videos up. They warm my heart

[@lukeneville1679]

You always make your rigs look so homey! Just got myself a truck camper to make a home. Hopefully a boat is in my future when I get tired of the roads!

[@dannytgrantham]

That new song at 0:17 🤗.. excited to hear what’s next!

[@Aldersandfirs]

Fr the snippets we’ve been hearing have so much potential

[@shelbyhunt5034]

Absolutely adore watching your Vlogs Griff. Keep it coming ! 😁

[@ashenick]

Yes, dude. My favorite artist creating art...love to see it. Always like seeing the journey you're on. Looking forward to your next tour.

[@cosmicalsounds]

Im so grateful that you have such a wonderful crew! I'm glad you're safe! Also excited to hear your new song projects get released into the wild!

[@emandnick]

Hell yeah this is getting us so pumped. We just sold our van this morning, already looking at sailboats 🙈

[@yojimbos1]

Beautiful and well found vessel. My dad gave me some good advice, "Do your travelling when your young", so this is inspirational but too late. I've watched surfers off the Oregon coast at Seaside in January. Clearly a psychotic break. Best wishes in your travels.

[@bos6782]

The condo in South Carolina was more like a Mc Mansion. Pretty sweet. Your wine tasting throughout the place was quite comical

[@october420]

Luv ur low tech approach to ur map & use of camera shots, yeah.., after my life changing event, i moved into a catamaran sailboat where i spent time fixing & upgrading it before i took it out & explored the FLKeys & Bahamas for roughly 18mnths... one of my favorite memories, only issue was, im a big guy at 6'8 235lbs so getting around was, lets just say, challenging... ty for sharing ur story, no doubt these yrs will be memorable.. 😊

[@NavigatingTheCompromise]

Great video, I'm excited to enjoy your of your content < your story telling style and videography is epic. that shot at 10:54 where the moon appears to be a ball bouncing off the stay's that was either a serious effort or incredibly lucky but either way 100

[@whoathor]

I race on a Beneteau 36 in Michigan during the Summer! So fun to see your adventures!

[@jacobmarshall7138]

this gives wes anderson vibes but slightly less pretentious. love it 😂

[@TheLegLog]

the clips of you all drinking wine in random parts of the condo was hilarious. 🤣Fan from Denver here. Saw you at Mission Ballroom. Seems like you have unlocked the universe at a young age. Congrats! and enjoy!

[@bethanyhopkins1495]

Best of luck with Juneau! Appreciate you sharing your journey with us.

[@repaircollc]

I'm on board!! So glad I found your channel, awsome storytelling! I just bought my first sailboat and plan to sail the NC coast alot, hope I see you out there.✌️

[@shields91]

Love it! Always living a life of adventure 🌲⛵️🤙🏾

[@svLaGloria]

You made a very good decision with the Shannon you purchased. Wonderful, legit offshore sailing vessel. I’m a fellow sailor and surfer. I have a 1987 C&C 35 MKIII that I have singlehanded from Hawaii to San Diego as well as several singlehanded trips to a group of islands offshore of San Blas, Nayarit to surf, dive, and explore. If you ever need help with anything be it crew, setting up your boat for short handed sailing, whatever, please reach out. I’m a retired RN and speak, read, and write Spanish. I lived in Mexico for 10 years back in the 80s and early 90s hence I know my way around. Anyway, I loved your story of recovery from your head injury, your music, and your simple living. Wish you the best and fair winds and following seas to you captain.

[@andrews6161]

The ICW is so fun! Looked like an awesome (and cold) trip. Thanks for igniting inspiration every time I click on a video.

[@svfelicity]

Such a beautiful boat, amazing storytelling, and a wonderful voyage! I wish you fair winds and following seas on your future adventures :)

[@gothbabemusic]

Thank you so much, I appreciate that!🙏

[@aronkormout9014]

All smiles here, life aquatic is my favorite all time movie Stevsie would be proud!

[@alanmelvillesbicycleriding1085]

I haven't watched any of your other videos, so my comment is purely base upon this one. It's very refreshing to see a creative make a sailing vid. The lack of excessive talking head is a relief, as is the lack of faux drama. The camera work is good, as is the scripting. Your condo sequences were well thought out and cut together. Overall, visuals are very good. As you move forward, might I suggest you build up some audio gear to properly capture the ambient and active sounds of your surroundings. Make sure your on camera mics have dead cats on them...very important !! Sometimes, blimps are required, particularly if you're trying to get clean audio in >20 knots. Whilst onboard, or heading to shore, consider mic'ing up yourself, and your passengers with wireless lav's, complete with dead kittens . Make sure you run separate tracks for vocals and tunes and keep the tunes lower in volume. Audio really is what makes a good vid great, it's sadly underestimated on you tube. If you've got the coin, try and pick up a ZOOM H6 or even a H5 will do, but the 6 is 32 bit float, a ZOOM F3 can be got second hand, is cheap and 32 bit float, but can't record scratch audio, so is a bit more involved. Bad video can squeeze past the gate keeper, but bad audio......nah.... it'll screw you over every time. I enjoyed your little production, good luck and keep it up.

[@Morgan.Bentley]

The wine sipping clips were great. Lol All looks like such a good time! Another great video man🤙🏼

[@agmood]

Nice shots of Beaufort SC!

[@juliechapman-xu4if]

Thirty years ago, I was sailing. Not now I'm land bound. You bring back great memories.

[@lauritsennick24]

Always such a joy watching these :)

[@NottobepronouncedEnt]

yay new video! it looks so much fun and positive, brings me joy watching these!

[@russellzauner]

You'd be surprised how far you can range around if you put into the Columbia River - I'm planning to try to kayak from Idaho to the Pacific Ocean, going through WA and touring the Columbia Gorge in the process. No, I'm not going to try to transit the bar ;-) it's a kayak, I'll portage over to the ocean when it starts getting choppy. But if you have a boat of your own, Vancouver Island has been having very affordable lots coming up and you aren't dependent upon the ferry. Thanks for another great video, everyone stay healthy!

[@ronkirk5099]

With the right sailboat, the world is your oyster. I spent 7 years cruising the world including a singlehanded circumnavigation in the high latitudes and it was one of the best times of my life. As Jimmy Buffett sang, "So many nights I just dream of the ocean, god I wish I was sailin' again". Fair winds and far places to you-all.

[@garrettsadventure]

Hope to see you out here some day

[@gothbabemusic]

Likewise dude! Keep crushing Garrett!

[@brynbastrire3795]

Hahaha the wine in the condo scene had me cracking up. Subscribed.

[@mariokartman10]

So beautiful, thanks for taking us along!

[@sailingsitka]

Great recap 👌loving the new boat ⛵️

[@LVexploresletsgo]

Loving these adventure outdoorsy videos! Hoping for more to come!

[@gothbabemusic]

Thanks mate! More are in the works!

[@essencetemple7366]

I love you man!! I tell people you remind me of nature and my favorites hiking spots!

[@cbak28]

I'm sitting and living in Juneau, Alaska, right now!! The name surprised me!!

[@AdminLogistics.]

Wow, classic boat. Walt Schultz approves.

[@gothbabemusic]

His designs are tried and tested 💪

[@KaylaKuper-wz7mp]

Always a treat when there’s a new vid ✨

[@bonesgamingmoto9604]

Saw you in Sydney! You were awesome! Can’t wait for you to be back in Aus soon!

[@chriscox9437]

great editing, fun content. thanks for the story

[@eifelkreutz]

Such a cool adventure! And awesome video! Hope you make it over to Oriental sometime, sailing capital of the Carolinas

[@Dominikb99]

Dude, I didn't know you were a sailor. You've acquired a beautiful classic. Love your music on spotify tho.

[@sylvsyntax]

Being my favorite musician and youtuber is crazy.

[@gothbabemusic]

You’re a legend ❤️

[@AaronHendu]

Congrats man...I have been dreaming of doing the same. I almost did it years ago...was offered a free sail boat...but it just wasnt the right time. I have dreamt of it ever since. And Ive been living in a harbor town...I am thinking about just trying to pick up some odd jobs at the local marina and see what kind of connections I can build there. Try to find a mentor, of sorts, perhaps.

[@duanebenne890]

Omg more of this please!

[@thomasregis9748]

Those piano interstitial bits are giving me serious Oberhofer vibes. His Andy Warhol Diaries soundtrack has been on my playlist nonstop.

[@CRETELOVEE]

That ending was Sad , Because the video ended , This was Gold 💯

[@AddisonGallamore]

love the videos! Thank you for another amazing one :)

[@WeEquals]

Love these vlogs man! Keep em coming

[@joeb260]

New sub. I am going back and watching older content. Great channel! Great adventures and builds.

[@gothbabemusic]

Appreciate that so much!

[@spencerpettee8016]

Can't tell which I like more: your music or your KZbin videos...

[@dizigned193]

Another banger. Keep it up Griff!

[@robbarracca]

The pine trees next to Juneau 👌

[@robertgold2643]

Great vid mate, and fine choice of verses 😎

[@theadventuresoftimmylegerr]

Sooo sick I've lived on boats for 3 seasons and it's the best!!

[@chriskirkman5425]

Magic stuff

[@AshleyBrenwalt]

The wine drinking was funny 😂

[@ashleypeterson8118]

I have always found sailing so fascinating and wondered how people who get into it know how to fix their own boat when things go wrong it’s v impressive

[@adlerstrenn5786]

You’re a heck of a storyteller griff

[@old_man_pong]

Love the wine in Charleston sequence :)

[@AndyDJane]

Before you sell I think you might need to sail Juneau to New Zealand and come tour down here ;)

[@_________4292]

You are amazing storyteller. Would a boat trip to europe be a next big adventure?

[@RebeccaPerezNY]

Love your videos!! ❤

[@Felix_and_Famu]

Are you born in ‘96 too? This is the best made sailing video vlog I’ve seen and been watching quite a few 😊

[@AustinGadd]

new gbaby vlog lets go!

[@ChrisWorksCreative]

Amazing

[@bfranco1519]

A real renaissance man!

[@greenebank]

Next time enjoy the tropics and go north OUTSIDE in the stream mid May at 11 knots average. She is a heavy boat that favors a reach. That’s what conditions in the AOC are in May that still make it a freight train ride.

[@BonnieVolkle]

Really nice video❤

[@ozzycool1000]

This has such a Aquatic life of steve zissou vibe

[@luisgia935]

This is awesome

[@pittbull009]

❤ the Wes Anderson vibe.

[@bellemaria4116]

I love your videos ! ❤

[@charlesmcdonald5465]

Fuckn great ! More please.

[@annettecareins8753]

❤ awesome 😎

[@svdeezknots]

so much respect then -1 when I saw "friends"

[@veronicapaulsen]

wow I love these videos

[@daltonsideas]

Welcome to NC! 🤙

[@brianschmidt2747]

My plan too. Very soon. Question why didn't use your sails more . A friend I know did that 2020 and he sailed most of it.

[@conradlogan5201]

Thankyou!

[@AustinGadd]

If my captain forgets the salt I’m starting a mutiny jkjk, must’ve been a killer experience griff!

[@boathemian7694]

I lived aboard sailboats for 28 years. Great times, although your never as self sufficient as you think you are. Never.

[@notsalmonpack]

Same

[@davidmontgomery1016]

Where is her new home? I bought a boat in the summer of 23. She is in the neighborhood located on the Neuse River across the river from Oriental. Her name is StarCatcher. Maybe our paths will cross one day on the water.

[@FranklinGray]

Nice boat. The drawing you had showed it has a center board keel or drop keel to a shallow keel. How does that work? Where do you keep the drop keel when not in use?

[@gothbabemusic]

Thanks! It’s cranks up into an opening in the keel with a winch from the cockpit

[@FranklinGray]

@@gothbabemusic How heavy and how deep is the fixed keel?

[@meestahwah]

Do I detect some Wes Anderson / Life Aquatic vibes here?

[@Shane-dq9tm]

In-TRA-coastal waterway...

[@corbanrdl]

I wish I was this cool

[@whaletacos]

just need a trust fund bud

[@yes24__]

he's so cool!!!!!!!

[@Satr1ani]

What boat exactly is this? I didnt quite understand what you said there when you introduced the boat.

[@Bornisen]

Beneteau 36ft, could be "First" or "Oceanis"

[@seandolan9393]

Sea-haw

[@lukesanantonio3173]

Rad!

[@rarethen9]

which camera do you use?
