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

[@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.

[@MrToolman33]

There's thousands of great boats available right here. Thank you though.​@@joeldelamirande5792

[@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?

[@paullayer4152]

Capital Ron is my favorite sailing movie

[@charlesbreaux5475]

right on!

[@BertStreetsenior]

Mine too

[@Shepherdservices317]

Chasing bubbles is actually about real people

[@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.

[@christopherrocheleau6689]

Congrats on your year of sobriety! I love your channel. Please keep posting excellent content, and fair winds!

[@LadyKSailing]

Thanks so much!

[@kevins7363]

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

[@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

[@LadyKSailing]

Fantastic!

[@Highwoodmalibu]

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

[@wonderboy6511]

Congratulations on your sobriety! That’s awesome.

[@LadyKSailing]

Thank you!!

[@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 👏

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@LadyKSailing]

Merry Christmas and thanks for watching!

[@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.

[@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.

[@LadyKSailing]

Sounds great!

[@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.

[@bdmenne]

"White Squall" is my favorite fictional sailing adventure movie. Thrilling. ofc, I have not seen it in 30 years. Edit: and now I’m watching it again tonight!! Merry Christmas All!

[@davidchase9777]

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

[@eriku785]

"All is Lost" got me into sailing in 2015. Since then I received my ASA 101 certificate, crewed aboard the Lady Washington and now contracted to sail the first leg of the 2027 Clipper Race. Thanks Tim for your videos and I hope 2025 brings even better things for you.

[@LadyKSailing]

That's a great story! Merry Christmas!

[@TC-yx1qt]

Agree!!. I've been recommending this video for many years for people who want to travel, regardless on whether or not they like boats/sailing etc.

[@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!

[@AliNejad-y9e]

You are the best in your field, I watched several dozen of other videos, none of them is as good as yours. 🙏❤️

[@LadyKSailing]

Thanks, I appreciate that!

[@Didyoureallythinkaboutit]

Thank you so much for sharing. Just watched and as you probably know, am blown away. A new hero. I collect heroes. What a fine gift on Christmas.

[@Didyoureallythinkaboutit]

BTW, my 34 yr old son died from alcohol two years ago Sunday. Be well.

[@LadyKSailing]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! So sorry to hear about your son🥲

[@Smitty134]

I just spent Christmas watching Chasing Bubbles per your recommendation. Thanks for the suggestion. Sometimes, inspiration comes from the spirit of another.

[@davecaissy3664]

Thanks for this nice year dear Tim!

[@LadyKSailing]

Happy new year!

[@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!

[@erichyney6287]

Thanks for sharing, Tim. See you next time.

[@LadyKSailing]

Thanks for watching!

[@jeremyvanmarrum3961]

Really enjoy the lady K channel. Thanks for promoting this documentary video.

[@LadyKSailing]

Thanks for watching!

[@mikeh720]

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

[@dchiffy]

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

[@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!

[@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]

Merry Christmas!

[@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.

[@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!

[@bobdailey9533]

Another great video, Tim! All of the best on all of your future endeavors !!!⛵️🏝️

[@LadyKSailing]

Thank you! ⛵️🏝️

[@shawnbartley9223]

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

[@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!

[@Ekowal1965]

Great Movie. I think when we're younger we're much likelier to go on such great adventure. I watch Sam Holmes Sailing and am inspired by that young man. Some day hope to be going to the sea in my retirement. My fear is to run out of $$. Being forced to return and go back to work would be terrible. LOL

[@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

[@tomwilliams8675]

Congratulations on your one year. I can promise you that you've only scratched the surface on how good your life will be. One day at a time. 🤝🤝👍🇺🇸

[@LadyKSailing]

Thanks for the positive vibes!

[@gregoneil2036]

the thing that I remember from Bubbles is him talking about not doing it alone, that it would be more fulfilling with community, so he just went and invited lots of people to come along for the ride.

[@Marc_de_Car]

Thank you

[@AngleSailing]

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.

[@jrcolmena]

@4:09 “Alex sold is boat in “Caraco????” I’m guessing you meant either Caracas or Curaçao, most likely the second as the first is one hour from the coast.

[@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!

[@iwashpowercleaning7724]

Hey Tim, maybe you need to do a video about the boat, Fast Passage 39. That would be an awesome video. Thanks for the videos, I follow you since the Bimini trip. I hope to meet you somewhere in an anchorage in the Caribbean.

[@Glenn.Cooper]

Thanks a ton for the recommendation!! And congratulations on the sobriety - very cool!! Just finished watching the movie and really enjoyed it, but dang - that ending...

Merry Christmas! Thank you for the information and tips. 👍

[@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.

[@sunlovesailing]

One of my favorite, not just sailing movies, but movies of all time! Thanks got the review. Did you see Brady from Delos in that one clip?

[@keshermedia]

😳 I watched Chasing Bubbles when it first came out, and thanks for the reminder, I'll happily watch it again and make it s yearly holiday tradition! 👍👍👍

[@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
