Greatest Sailing Adventure Movie Ever! Lady K Sailing - Ep 309

[@kevins7363]

Chasing Bubbles Is really a movie about living life to the fullest that happens to take on a sailboat. Its a must watch!

[@pastaking231]

"All is Lost" is my favorite-albeit more serious than "Capt Ron" or "Summer Rental." I'm glad you are keeping on keeping on-glad you do this Channel, Tim.

[@LadyKSailing]

Thanks! I appreciate you watching.

[@MrToolman33]

Tim I've been sailing off and on for almost 40 years. My wife recently died and you have inspired me to get back to it. I'm looking for a Catalina 30 to get me out on the Chesapeake and beyond. Thank you.

[@LadyKSailing]

That's awesome, glad I could inspire you!

[@Greatlakessailing]

Where? I'm selling a 9.6. Not a catalina, but similar size.

Chesapeake Bay ​@@Greatlakessailing

[@joeldelamirande5792]

I have a client maybe will to sell on Lake Ontario

[@paullayer4152]

Capital Ron is my favorite sailing movie

[@mojoneko8303]

I have never watched or heard of chasing Bubbles so I will definitely watch it. The movie/documentary that motivated me to buy a sailboat was one called "600 days to Cocos Island" about a couple sailing from the Sea of Cortes Mexico to Cocos Island in the Pacific 100's of miles off the coast of Columbia South America. I think it was made in the 70's. Have you ever heard of it? I would watch it over and over while working out in the gym at my Fire station. My wife and I bought a 29 foot Columbia sloop in Homer Alaska and I did a complete rebuild on it. We sailed that boat along the coast of Alaska for 20 years for months at a time in the summer. Those were good times. Thanks for the video.

[@christophmahler]

Nobody at age 22 _knows_ from years of experience what they love to do most. It's a skill that starts blooming after 'Mid Life' in their late 30s, being able to let go and sense greatness in 'what's left when all is lost', the hardest in Puritan culture that justifies it's existence by industry. That Alex Rust's second boat was almost a full keel is noted. Merry Christmas and thanks for being welcoming.

[@bdmenne]

"White Squall" is my favorite fictional sailing adventure movie. Thrilling. ofc, I have not seen it in 30 years.

[@pjacquemain]

Congrats on a year sobriety. I learned sailing is actually even better that way 😃

[@LadyKSailing]

Thanks for watching and for the support!

[@Droptopbelair]

12/13/15!! Happy Birthday Friend!! We’ve chatted some. I’m still trying to get a live aboard blue water capable first I need to sell my ranch. Been following you for a year and a half so I remember those days!! Love you too!! It truly is the journey!

[@bdmenne]

@@Droptopbelair Where is your ranch, size, price?

[@wonderboy6511]

Congratulations on your sobriety! That’s awesome.

[@CirvanHamilton]

Thanks for the suggestion Tim and the videos over the years. What a great documentary You have inspired me and my partner to the point we got a boat last year and are having Caribbean dreams of our own. This documentary only pushed us further in pursuing these dreams. Keep it up

[@xmanprime3328]

Loved this documentary until the end. Very sad but I believe he enjoyed his life and all too many of us don't come near enough to that. Very inspiring 👏

[@Highwoodmalibu]

Loved Chasing Bubbles. You'll laugh, you'll cry, then you will long for the sea...again

[@painthammer6150]

Thanks for sharing this! I loved Lady K getting to Bahamas. My wife and I started our marriage with a trip around the world. 30 years later my wanderlust is still there, but my body can't do what it did. We hope to kick off retirement with a boat trip from Canada to Bahamas and back.

[@Cptnbond]

Tim, it's incredible how much has changed in your personal life. Remember the downturns during COVID-19, and now realize what you have achieved. Congrats, and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Cheers.

[@LadyKSailing]

Merry Christmas!

[@davidchase9777]

Thank you Lady K, I just watched the movie and I'm smiling with tears in my eyes.

[@travistucker7317]

Chasing Bubbles is an absolute must-see for anyone interested in sailing.

[@bdmenne]

the documentary made me more concerned about mental health and coping by running away unecessarily, leading to tragedy than it did it motivating me wanting to sailing. There are so many distractions and escapes that 90% people chose instead of real life satisfying solutions. Which is usually, Community/family/purposeful career building. I'm torn. He seemed to be chased by demons, instead of facing them in a more corrective way.

[@lowellmccormick6991]

I've watched "Chasing Bubbles" a couple of times and loved it. The early Delos crew makes an appearance, and I think Alex had a big effect on them.

[@ericmcdonald9735]

Inspiring as always and I'm not even a sailor. Stick with the sobriety and keep moving forward. Your passion inspires me to discover mine. Best wishes for this new year!

[@geenee7875]

Thank you for this great video. Just viewed Chasing Bubbles and was quite unprepared for the ending. Alex lived a life beyond his years and would have made his dad proud. Look forward to following you, Lady K Sailing, in the coming year!

[@michaelrizzo5492]

Grown up children. That’s perfect right there. Excellent description of us.

[@Gratefulwon]

Watched Bubbles years ago, and still maintain that it is the best content to show up on you tube.

[@davecaissy3664]

Thanks for this nice year dear Tim!

[@johnrathbun2943]

I've seen this movie a couple of times and it has inspired me also. Plus I've also seen another documentary called "Hold Fast!" That documentary also inspired me. I recommend to everyone that has any interest in sailing to watch it.

[@daisygoon]

lol, Direct deposit.

[@SalingSamantas]

Well Tim, I think you might be the second channel I came across and the first legitimate sailing channel. In my opinion I did watch sailing gbu. I think that was entry level and then came across your channel. You were still down in the Bahamas heading down heading back. It's been a few years but I've been watching since the very beginning. I can't say that sailing channels brought me to sailing. I had the boat first and I was doing lots of work on the boat but doing that work is what brought me To the sailing channels on KZbin and you were one of the first

[@LadyKSailing]

Thanks for watching!

[@paulshell1729]

Thanks Tim, great recomendation for your viewers! Oddly, i just rewatched this documentary last night before your suggestion popped up today. Alex was a beautiful, flawed, wise and tragic human being.

[@johnnywisconny]

#1 has been and always will be “Summer Rental”! John Candy is king. Captain Ron is a close second.

[@PyeGuySailing]

@@johnnywisconny I used to feel exactly the same way but as time moved on I found myself loading up Captn Ron more often than Summer rental. So I now lean to Captain Ron. But for the longest time Summer rental was king in my books. Such an iconic movie 🙂 John Candy is the GOAT

[@svwanderlust9697]

Thanks for sharing. I enjoy all your content, I know you really work hard to make this channel what it has become

[@LadyKSailing]

I appreciate that!

[@erichyney6287]

Thanks for sharing, Tim. See you next time.

[@LadyKSailing]

Thanks for watching!

[@Marc_de_Car]

Thank you

[@AngleSailor]

Happy holidays everyone. Talking of adventure sailing movies, I just want give you heads up of something massive in the making. A unique idea by someone who gave us a glimpse of a Hollywood quality sailing adventures videos a few years ago. It will be the talk of the town and not limited to the sailing community.

[@dchiffy]

I watched it several times a couple years ago. Truly epic person What a personality, so positive RIP

[@mmiles28]

Merry Christmas. I’ve watched that documentary twice already. I agree with your analysis.

[@diyman5289]

I viewed this show bubbles a few years back it is a must-watch.

[@mikeh720]

Merry Christmas Tim! 'Wind' is my personal favorite sailing movie, but I grew up in a racing environment

[@evinwhiteson4902]

I met Alex in indonesia on his circumnavigation. He had 6 guys crewing for the Indian ocean crossing. A very crowded boat with a broken diesel. That's 1 trip I would not want to be in. RIP alex

[@17quarters48]

Merry Christmas You do a great job Because of one of your videos, two and half years ago I baught my first boat, a vintage Catalina 36. Best thing I've ever done

[@LadyKSailing]

That is awesome!

[@vizsla54]

Congratulations and thank you

[@PyeGuySailing]

Chasing bubbles was good...sad ending though. You should have said "documentary " not movie...because everyone knows what the best sailing movie is😉..it's Captain Ron

[@RichardKeys-l9m]

Merry Christmas Lady K! My dad told us the same thing . . . Whatever you want to do most in life . . . Go Do! Thanks, Prayers, Joy, and Blessings! Waiting for Santa aboard S/V Mistral in San Diego Bay.

[@LadyKSailing]

Happy holidays!

[@valerielewis7870]

Merry Christmas!

[@maurolimaok]

Would you make a video about "all is lost" with Robert Redford The "lines" are ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

[@lonegull50]

Love your channel and the movie. congrats on your first year sober, life keeps getting better and better even after 37 yrs. I always say the first 36 are the hardest but what would I know. Keep up the great work of bringing the love of sailing to all of us. Merry Christmas

[@LadyKSailing]

That is awesome! Merry Christmas!

[@Glenbard4]

Merry Christmas to you and your family Tim. We get a lot of joy from watching you and appreciate the time and effort you put into making content for us.

[@LadyKSailing]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@GregShick-h8n]

Just watched the movie. What a spirit! Merry Christmas. Love your videos here and on Practical Sailor. Always quality!

Merry Christmas Tim!!! Congrats on sobriety!! I'm one year sober myself!!! It feels good.

[@LadyKSailing]

Congratulations! It feels good doesn't it?

[@julioerodriguez6097]

Thank you Tim for the recommendation to watch "Chasing Bubbles". Happy holidays for you and your family. Hopefully next year brings prosperity to your life. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

[@shawnbartley9223]

Just finished watchine chasing bubbles, you were spot on what an incredible movie everyone needs to see it at least once.

[@henktulp4400]

Merry Christmas to you too Tim!!!

[@LadyKSailing]

Same to you!

[@1.5Deg_Is_NonNegotiable]

I'm redoing my post as I got confused between Durbeck boats and Hunter, I suppose because I lived at both locations where they were made in Florida. I agree, the Hunter isn't exactly a blue water boat although I do seem to remember Lady K Sailing liking one particular model. But back to the movie/ documentary, I love a good sea story, especially if there is a good ending and I can learn something. Can't wait to see it, already bookmarked it.

[@josephbeers2256]

Thank you for the recommendation.

[@LadyKSailing]

Hope you like it!

[@jackechan1311]

Merry Christmas, Tim! It`s great to belong to a community of likeminded souls, especially at times that can test us emotionally.

[@LadyKSailing]

Well said!

[@fillbillydeluxebredmon7904]

Just watched it. Great movie.

[@robertgold2643]

I get a lot more from your channels than just great content. Can’t put my finger on it enough to name it but wanted to say it anyway. Congratulations on a banner year amigo 😎

[@LadyKSailing]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@marclawyer2789]

Another interesting Channel is Emmerald Steel... A couple built their own boat, against the odds, in the 80's and then sailed for 4 decades...

[@johnboone2581]

I follow them too, it blew my mine when they sold it. Waiting to see what is in store for them.

[@vancesprock2590]

Tim, congratulations on your sobriety ! My daughter has been sober for 3 years now, so I understand a bit of your journey. KEEP it GOING:);) BTW love the channel. I love boats and am on boat #4 and 5, one boat too many;) Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

I just saw it. 2025. Learn new tricks for making boats more resilient. Tiny air cooled diesel, Small 12 volt chest freezers to take the heat off the big freezer. CB radio connecting your boat. Better ways to make fresh water on the boat. How to get the most out of a trailer sailboat.

I am a sound mixer, and seeing that mic clipped to the front of your shirt made me think of Tommy Lee Jones, who refused to let me put a mic inside his shirt and looked just like yours.

[@LadyKSailing]

Me and Tommy 🤞 hehehe I can maybe put it inside next time

[@Seacracker1]

Thx for the tip

[@mriley4955]

Merry Christmas Tim. Congratulations on your success this past year. As I sit here planning our BVI trip this coming June out of Nanny Cay, watching Chasing Bubbles is just the prescription we need to get the family enthused. Or scared , not sure which lol..
