I Tried Sailing and Fell in Love

Some advice to any fellow travellers:
I had a very positive experience sailing for the first time but unfortunately, it isn't the case for everyone as some people have bad intentions, there are sexual predators out there and people can sometimes find themselves in potentially dangerous situations. So please take your safety precautions when travelling: ask questions, use your common sense and trust your instincts! If going sailing, especially alone, always do your research to assess if the boat, captain, and crew are safe, reliable and a happy match. Also, I recommend always telling someone you trust: who you’re sailing with, how long you might be away and your location if you know you might go off the grid for a while. I’m including resources and links to websites, groups and sailing communities where you can find blacklisted captains, find more information and meet other travellers. Wish you safe travels and happy sailing :)

I actually remembered the video from earlier this year. What an amazing experience! And I would say, you should have stayed on for the Atlantic crossing. It is an experience for a lifetime, as the captain described one should seek. Love the videos and would encourage you to post more often. Cheers!

[@bernysubbs8445]

you're so natural--naturally a happy being-- Captain is an amazing , minimalist adventurer. The world would be a better place if people took his advice.... did he build his boat from scratch or did have the plans ( looks like a Wharram design) Thanks for making this video !!!!

[@captainjollyrogersailingso6809]

It’s not really clarifying on KZbin though in the videos about his boat being built it thanks him so maybe inspiration because I don’t see plans for his online

[@gabrielsoul6856]

Very inspiring! Traveling like this is a inexhaustable way of life. The Captain is right, don't wast time looking for happiness, it's all right in front of us.

[@bryanbadger6841]

I like your attitude, and your thought process. Remember the Chinese proverb that states, "a journey of a thousand miles, starts with the first step." Now comes the next step. Another quote..."Not all who wander, are lost." I've lived through 75 summers, and just recently acquired a kayak, general purpose, but really a fishing kayak. I plan on doing some exploring, and living from the sea. Why.? Because the challenge is there. I'm looking to where your next step takes you. Keep looking forward. Stay focused. Don't get side tracked, unless you know for certain that that will get you back on the right route. I've subbed to your channel. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Atb for your journey in life.

[@DarylSaunders737]

The world needs people like the captain.😊😊😊😊

[@bravofighter]

Florence, if I can recommend and interview subject, it would be Sven Yrvind and also Mr. & Mrs. Martin, of Round Pond, Maine; their daughter, Holly Martin, has a youtube channel called “Wind Hippie Sailing”, as she’s currently circumnavigating as a solo sailor. She was born and raised on their circumnavigation, and they literally wrote books and magazine articles on sailing. Mr. Martin currently builds and restores old sailboats, but BOTH of them are incredible wealths of knowledge and still do deliveries and boat-sitting.

[@jamiemcdonald7283]

Hah hah, I'm back aging for the 3rd time, there is something very special in these videos Flo😂❤

[@ceritaylor5328]

I love this! I’m so happy for you that you got to experience this❤

[@jamiemcdonald7283]

Ive just watched these sailing videos for the second time, cant wait to see what you have next, love your work

[@sailingsitka]

Amazing episode ! The sailing life definitely isn't for everyone but its a great life for those few of us lucky enough to have experienced it.

[@vidadepuerto]

I love how you document this, It was perfect and beatiful!

[@CAPTIVEPULSEMAKER]

Thank you for the video. Respects to the Captain.

Well done, your a great story teller and editor. I look forward to your next adventure 🏴‍☠️

Thank you very much!

[@eirik5242]

Thank you for taking us with you on this adventure 🙂 It brings back memories from childhood, reading books that sparked the imagination

[@jamiemcdonald7283]

Love you way you tell your story, felt like i was right beside you, little disappointed you got off the boat early, i was haveing alot of fun

[@mariahelou8616]

You really make me want to drop everything and just go experience sailing! Love the journey and really like the life advice Captain gives :)

[@ukrainewarroom8410]

Do it! You won't regret it 😄

[@the_dingo_show]

What a fantastic experience. Can't wait to see what you get up to next!

[@FlorenceRyan]

So happy you enjoyed it! 😊

[@conyermud1]

Nooo, get back on that boat!!……we’ve loved these videos. Does the captain have a channel or. Vlog???

[@danielnokes9146]

Best sailing series ever

[@AdamBoro]

lets gooo. Loved the raw moments!

[@Oydle]

What a great video. Thanks for sharing your experiences,

[@richardrose7382]

Excellent! Now you need to look up James Wharram catamarans. As big a boat as this one is, it may be easier for you to try a smaller boat, at least at first. There’s one lady who sails a 26 foot cat along the Dalmatian coast. Her vessel’s name is Ariki. She has posted some KZbin videos that you may like. Incidentally, I think you very brave to take off on this adventure, not knowing the captain or what he’s like. Most I believe are good people, but there are some that are not so. Good luck out there. Fair winds and a following sea to you

[@myglassrepair355]

Love your videos on the boat

[@Ma-rm9uo]

Thoroughly enjoyed it! Very nice😊

[@FlorenceRyan]

Thank you! 😊

Thank you so much!

[@elsuperpollo2273]

It would be cool to apprentice under that Captain, and learn how to sail by him, then log required hours then take a exam to get a captains sailboat license

[@BrianRhodes9763]

Great video Florence, I have waited for this one to drop since I finished the last one of the series. I was wondering if you would sail all the way to the Caribbean, or maybe I was just hoping so I could follow along. Will you ever go on another sailing adventure?

[@FlorenceRyan]

Perhaps!! Thanks for following along and happy you enjoyed it. I have one video left in my sailing series before moving on for now :)

I like watching your sailing adventures. Small hint though: When you have a special man who has extraordinary experiances to share, try to take yourself back, ask questions, and listen. You are very present in your videos, bea asured.

I can see using a washboard and washing your own clothes to save money while sailing and hanging up your clothing on a ship

hate to be that guy but you did a granny knot at kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmSTqKCBes2HqZY and ruined an otherwise fantastic video!
