Preparing to live aboard a sailboat

[@karenherman8653]

We have one of those carts and love it. It gets used for laundry trips, groceries. Trash removal, and bringing things to the beach. Not sturdy enough for hauling large amounts of water or fuel. Nice to have you back on the boat.

[@10bbremer]

Welcome back! Looking forward to your adventures.

[@Sailboatstory]

YES. It’s finally happening!

[@WickedSalty]

Finally!!

[@seatravel8536]

Kate, nice to see that genuine smile back! You two are an awesome couple who have weathered a storm and now time to enjoy! Take the lessons learned and use them to propel you to new heights!

[@GreatWhiteGT]

I'm primed for the "move onboard" episode. I'm a new subscriber. I watch a lot of sailing vlogs and when I saw what happened to you two and realized you were not going to give up... I was hooked. Fair winds and following seas to you.

[@Bacoprah]

My wife and I were driving to Daytona during that last storm - we got ahead of it in Maine luckily and only had 40 min of winter driving. Glad to see you guys are back on the YT. Cheers from frigid PEI Canada (wish I was back in Daytona), Bryan

[@aquious953]

The weather sucks where you guys are. Enjoy the new boat guys! Don’t sink it.

[@mattrancourt2325]

Super happy that you are back! If you need anything when in Wrightsville Beach, NC let me know!

[@want2bsailing804]

So glad to see you two back. Fair winds and safe Travels . You two are great.

[@pdutube]

This video showed up in my feed 5 days late! Seriously YT? You three rule and I'm glad you had the good sense to stay ashore this winter. Seriously, your 4:20 eskimo penthouse represents what every New Englander went through, winter '18.

[@johnnukecop]

It's great that you guys are moving aboard. I'm sure there are many of us looking forward to sharing your adventures, and wishing you warm steady breezes and warm seas.

[@daverjax]

I always sugest the inclusion of a Sextant, Magnetic Compas, and Dual Chronometers and the a1uisition of the skills to use them. They will still work if you lose power or GPS breaks.

[@morganman1975]

Man have I missed the 3 of you, and I mean that. So glad you're back. May there always be water under the keel and wind in your sail. Best wishes from Wisconsin

[@lisahanlin5317]

Welcome back. We are so happy to see you again. Looking forward to the journey.

[@pinebearclub]

Good to see you back Wes and Kate! Cheers, Bryan from Vancouver

[@W4ABN]

Good to see you two again. Good luck!

[@Sailwanderingtoes]

Glad to see a new video from you two! Even better that you're heading to the boat. We hope to see you out on the water somewhere this fall and next winter.

[@murrat]

Nice to see a new episode and your moving aboard another boat.

[@SailingFreeStyle]

Badass snow fort! Lol. Good job! Can’t wait for the new adventure!

[@WranglerShorts]

Great to see you guys continuing to follow your dream. I just finished my 9mo solo sailing excursion from Lake Erie to the Bahamas and back to Florida. It was because of your original story that I decided to step outside my comfort zone and do it. Now that I'm back and have finished my race, it is wonderful to see you guys doing well. The both of you changed my life and I'll never forget it! Put a shout out to ya'll in my Finale video.

[@TheRiverPirate13]

Looks like a lot of stuff mate to load aboard ye ship! Looking forward to seeing it all come together!

[@WickedSalty]

[@zzzxxzzz4797]

Definitely can see who the captain is ! lol Thanks for sharing 😎

[@hellsop]

I have that exact wagon, in hot pink. It. Is. AMAZING. 200 lbs of stuff can go in that thing. I've put $300 of provisions in it.

[@allynonderdonk7577]

The non freezing option for leaving is a good sight better maybe. I can remember Wes standing in the cold with ice on his face from the first season!

[@WickedSalty]

Allyn Onderdonk it’s still kinda cold out here!

[@AmeriMutt76]

Yeea's Been waiting for you guys to get a new, new boat.. :D congrats on moving aboard again

[@beebo55]

Good to see you back to posting videos, can't wait to see the boat again!

[@almath9987]

Glad to see you back 👍

[@moejaime2654]

WOW !! thought the boat sunk again ! lol ! Welcome back !

[@kz4506]

The power station seems neat , but test the amps it used You might find its hungry and better to just have USB sockets remember you live on amps not volts , you take them out you put them back to survive , why I ask most of these things have transformers in them wich need powering up to work some need 5 amps to deliver little amps to the appliance just check it , all good and good luck this time guys , every fitting through your hull , monitor them and you will be safe go fo it guys

[@andydelarue9344]

good job packing the igloo in the cardboard box, not sure if you will have that much space for the chairs ,but it's sure to be a hit down in the keys. You enjoy your selfs this time and don't sink this one!

[@PMMM9]

Mustache is really coming in nice... great to see you guys will be able to take some more time off.

[@gogs1468]

Welcome back, loved the wee power unit, happy times ahead I think.

[@Chris-dp3rp]

what boat yard are you located. i'm in the middle of a refit less than 10 miles away from deltDville would love to come meet you guys

[@armyguy872008]

We have the 3 wheel model wagon for the beach and boat, has lasted 5 years and still works fine. They are built well

[@jrogers7628]

YEAH.. you are back...waiting for the next video

[@marcushamaker]

Happy to see you back at it! Was afraid that you guys might have been scared off the dream! Fair winds :)

[@gidge34]

Yea buddy’s!! This is the start of something amazing!!

[@wizardmix]

Good luck guys! Still here, still watching!

[@TheUglyGnome]

Wow! This Suaoki thingy must be a real miracle! Forget about upgrading your boat's battery bank. This will give you limitless power! (with 10x cost of comparable boat batteries, of course)

[@xavierdebeuf5776]

The first actual useful sponsored ³ⁿ seconds ever! You guys are awesome . Aaaahhhhhh!!!!!!! Greetz from Antwerp

[@paulgoyette8222]

[@WickedSalty]

[@ronwilliams3182]

Glad your back

[@crayolavanilla548]

Don't know if you have heard of a product called *star tron* for fuel systems....great for diesel engines...have for regular gas as well...I've used it in both types of engines and is a excellent product! and I'm not a sales rep.....have fun and be safe....enjoy the vids

[@fastlink]

Good to see you guys back into sailing mode!!

[@WickedSalty]

Sailing Baylana feels good!

[@michaeltillman1147]

Good to see ya! Looking forward to more video's.

[@befriacreate5701]

The snow this winter has sucked, got frozen in down in RI

[@gettingthatbass902]

Will you be going through the Dismal Swamp Canal or the Coinjock route?

[@darrenmoorehead]

Where in VA? Deltaville? Which marina?

[@lraffucci]

Hey you two - the little green cart you bought may break on the middle rotating part. It did on mine, and of course I bought another to replace it to have it break again.

[@SVImpavidus]

Good to see your back. Gona get us a MacWagon! Ant & Cid

[@cncbuss1]

Remember to bring some bowls for eating your chilli this time.

[@invested2k]

Welcome back! Is that a new Achilles in the big box?

[@gerhardprinsloo1819]

Welcome Back!!

[@itsmePassport]

What did she cost...?

[@SailingPauHana]

The Reporter on the TV sounded like Kate. Kate, you may have a future career in Broadcasting (Nice voice for it). Cant wait to see you two on a boat again

[@ajhewitt1977]

Hi guys! Loving the videos. I have a question, I know you had difficulty getting insurance but how much, ball park, does it cost for a 32 sailboat with international coverage?

[@WickedSalty]

Andrew Hewitt we don’t have international coverage just Bahamas and U.S. waters

[@hasans]

Is that charger thingy marine grade? You think will be OK in salt water/humid environment?

[@sailingsummatime2800]

Cool! Are you guys going to head back north for the summer?

[@WickedSalty]

Summa Sailing we are!

[@sailingsummatime2800]

Wicked Salty we are in Clinton Harbor CT let us know if you sail by, maybe we can treat you to lunch or dinner⛵️🍺🍹🍷

[@4wheelsonmywagon733]

What was in the large cardboard box in the u haul trailer??......it was a huge box!! 🤓

[@PatrickWagz]

What's in the booooooooxxxx? --Brad Pitt Maybe a dinghy?

[@chasemixon6327]

#WickedSaltlyWednesdays oh how I have missed those!

[@MARKLINMAN1]

Hahahaha, in your TV storm coverage check out that NEBRASKALAND truck, that’s where I work here in The Bronx. Freakin AWESOME.

[@tigersharkzh]

Additional boat equipment for you? I'd recommend a collection of bungs.

[@xcalabers]

Why did you decided to go with the G500 instead of just install a normal inverter in your boat? I can see the advantage of the G500 if your traveling without the boat as a home-base but with the boat's house battery bank being so much larger than the G500 I'd think you'd gain a lot of usability with a normal inverter.

[@nomansland120]

I guess simply because they got it for free. An additional 70Ah AGM battery (840w) to the housebank would make a lot more sense and is just a quarter of the price + not taking up the same kind of space as the G500 is going to.

[@TheUglyGnome]

Oh. It's only 4 times the price of AGM battery. I thought it must be at least 10 times, since it's an Indiegogo project. Hey! We're getting there slowly. Maybe in 10 years or so we might even see economically feasible Indiegogogo/Kickstarter/whatever projects.

[@jrock836]

I was going to mention something similar.. If one has access to the house bank of batteries and onboard inverter, there would be little use for this. But then again they got it for free, so it will be a fun toy to play around with, but probably not real practical..

[@jacknimble1]

I have a similar brand unit and it worked great for a few years but when the Batteries inside died it became useless because the replacement batteries were so expensive. Stick with an inverter and a bank of deep cycles.

[@hitmanhite]

Here we go

[@AnthonyPaun]

congrats

[@cliffstarks9579]

4-6-18 where are you guys?

[@cliffstarks9579]

Good to see you guys! Give me a shout out when you come by Ocean Isle Beach NC.
