STOP!! You CAN'T Live on a Boat Full-Time Without THIS! // Getting back to BOAT LIFE

Hey all! Thanks for watching this video :) As seasoned cruisers we know a good dinghy is of the up most importance when living and cruising on a boat. With the trimaran, we have to worry about space and weight and I think we have found the perfect dinghy that will enable us to get to shore with Jetty and is easy to pack up and stow when we are on the road. We cannot tell you how happy we are to be getting back to boat life!! Have any questions about the boat or the motor throw them in the comments and we will do our best to answer 🤗

*p.s. you really shouldn’t open a inflatable dinghy box with a knife, we do not advise this. You should also not drop a dinghy from above your head. Do as we say not as we do ;)*

She look like she had som much fun driving the new dinghy! Her smile is so infectious! Have fun out there!

[@stul8724]

So cool and inspirational! Met my current girlfriend ‘sailor’ at the Dive Bar Marina. We hope to get back on the water this year!!!! My girlfriend is mesmerized by Sierra’s energy and SMILE 😃

[@rhondagutzwiller6778]

So glad you like the dingy and that you’re going to be living on the trimaran! Can’t wait for more sea adventures! Be safe!!!🥰

[@lauriefrancisco1084]

Cool little motor. Especially like the fact it’s silent!

[@tomwilliams8675]

Sierra your smile when you were driving the dinghy said it all ❤❤❤😊😊😊 Have a safe and Happy New Year

[@makotanko2994]

For 10$, I bought an electric air mattress pump that you can use a cigarette port or battery terminals for operating. Best purchase I ever made for my dingy because it would take 15 minutes on the foot pump.

[@scable-eq7bp]

Congrats on the new Dingy and motor but because the 880 sport is such a shallow draft boat we are going to take our time purchasing a Dingy, you can beach this boat without any issues.. I still can't get over the speed of this boat, we sailed from our condo in Key Largo to Key West right before Christmas, we made the 94 miles trip in 5.8 hours and averaged 16.7 knots and a few times we hit 21.2 knots, even at those wicked speeds the boat is still very stable. We are talking about sailing to the Bahamas in Feb. with this boat, as fast as it is, the time to Bimini should be cut in half.....

[@billatherholt4617]

Yes make that loop. 10K Islands up to Goodland/Marco Is. then up to Charlotte Harbor and the whole string south from Boca Grande > Cayo Costa > Cabbage Cay > Captiva > Sanibel. All of that cruising area around the West coast is fantastic for a shoal draft trimaran. Then across the waterway is a fun experience too. Great Idea to loop it

[@emoryodell3247]

Billy that is a pretty ring you bought !!

[@jamesblackburn934]

Fort Jefferson and The Dry Tortugas are Beautiful.

[@emhaley]

“Did you put the plug in?” Sierra for the win.

[@greggtilghman6349]

Billy said yeah! then looked!!! LOL I'm 56 and been on and around boats literally all my life, no matter what your experience, it can happen to anybody!

[@BoatingJourney]

LOL! loved it.

[@deanmacka4975]

Great stuff guys

[@mymortonisms]

You two are so cute, like old folks already dressing in the same shirts. Must be love!

[@deskboundaviator7377]

Hi guys. My wife and I did Key West to Dry Tortugas to Everglades Park to Ft Myers to Okeechobee to the ICW in our Gozzard 36 cutter sloop. It was a terrific trip. Okeechobie is like sailing (motoring) through chocolate pudding. You might need to lower your mast to clear the RR bridge on the eastern side (we used the "tilt" service provided by a nice fellow from Indiantown Marina ). Be sure to check that before starting your trip. It's a looooong way back around Miami.

[@joesphbest3120]

Your going to love sailing that boat, its a life changer. HAPPY NEW YEAR

[@jacksbackable]

That’s a great little tender! I’m impressed by the alloy transom. I had a Zodiac with a ply transom, rotted out in under 2 years! It only ever went in saltwater.......!? Highfield’s certainly seem to have cornered the market Now! Thanks for sharing Twinnies! 😆😎🏖🌴☀️🇦🇺

[@pats7276]

Happy New Year! Yes. I'd love to watch you do the loop! Happy Sailing! ⛵

[@brianschindlbeck2807]

Another great episode guys. Over 30 years since I left Sarasota but the memories of those little flying pests still remains.😫 . How about just a little tease on the new boat? Still on schedule? Happy New Year guys.

[@fanoboss]

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

[@blue1991flhs]

That looked like great fun!

[@bartwesp4303]

Yes to the FL loop! Lake Mead would also be a neat trip, and something you won't do with the new boat.

[@jackfntwist]

Happy New Year!

[@BoatingJourney]

Wow, super awesome dinghy! Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year! We love you guys!

[@txhypnotist]

Happy New year 2U. You asked for suggestions. Here's mine. 1. Great idea to take the trimaran around the Fl. Key's on a loop. Anywhere the weather is really warm and nice from December -March. 2.Would be cool to see you two sail to the Bahama's on that boat. I bet you would love to do a 3-4 day and return back to Florida. It would cause a bunch of people to buy that type of boat if you simply showed just how it can be done. Most people are just afraid to venture forward.

[@konstantinkaraev4742]

Great gifts for the New year! Happy New Year guys and new travels!

[@donnyoh]

You guys look really happy!

[@pauleohl]

@ Tula's Endless Summer You two are already successful treasure hunters; you have found each other.

[@jenniferpierson9752]

You should definitely do the loop. So many awesome places to go with shallow draft!

[@hulahickey6959]

wow quiet! Love that

[@jerrycolby]

Love watching the two of you!

[@bubbagail7450]

Do the loop, that would be awesome. Just be careful in kissimmee (jetty and the gators won't get along) That electric motor is impressive. Happy New Year guys.

[@kevinbrady9633]

Absolutely - the Florida Loop!

[@cecilpacetti1491]

You could always drag the dinghy behind the trimaran on a 100' line. This would work for short passages which you'll be doing while coastal cruising.

[@Alan62651]

Great new boat... Happy New Year and happy cruising.

[@GeorgeIvanPare]

Jetty is so darn cute! We are so excited to follow you in this next chapter as we get our Corsair ready to join you!

[@garyfroeschner2523]

Great dinghy.

[@quarlow1215]

Happy New Year Billy, Sierra and Jetty. See you next year.

[@waynecompton7612]

Good morning Billy and Sierra, thank you for the video and Take Care stay safe, Happy New Year to you and your Family’s 👍😎🇬🇧.

[@johnnylightning1491]

Yes, yes, yes so the Florida loop. That dink looks really cool. If I get tired of loading and unloading my tin boat from my truck I may look into one. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

[@hookinwithhansel6314]

You can get an automatic inflator with a pressure gauge. They hook up to the terminals on a battery. That’s what I have for mine since I store the dinghy when not in use. They are about $150 but well worth the investment.

[@amarieshearer7613]

Happy New Year

[@holisticaustralia]

12v rechargeable pump.. too easy! Love your little ib..

[@BS-np7ms]

good stuff!

[@popsoldboats3406]

That was a super fun video liked

[@chiane1968]

Great video. I love the direction of this channel now! I watch a lot of the SV video's on KZbin, and it's refreshing to see someone with fully functional state of the art new gear instead of endless video's of new uses for duct tape. Keep up the fantastic content, I think you have something now.

[@billberry557]

Thanks for the video it was great and seeing it on New Years Eve Day (9 am Phoenix) made for a nice early morning. Just realized how much watching your videos has been a downer. Have a great New Year looking forward to a 2021 year. Aloha

[@65MK]

Yes, do the loop!👍🏻

[@josh_9266]

Cant wait for yall to get back on the boat full time!

[@joes212]

Nice! Happy New Year. 🎊🎆 looking forward to your cruising videos. 😎

[@richardboody6709]

Happy New Year and I can't wait till you two get cruising!!! Keep the videos coming!!

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Us either!! Real real soon! Hoping to start within the next two weeks!!

[@Mike-ys7rh]

Perfect dinghy for the trimaran...safe travels...Happy New Year!!!

[@lancedaniels]

Really NICE addition!!!

[@riverakers]

Amazing the things that are available today.You are blessed to be able to live this lifestyle.Who would have thought that doing vids was going to be an introduction to a new career 10 years ago.I know there is a lot of work involved but look at the benefits and opportunities that come from it.Full steam ahead.Great job!

[@ericnunn8856]

Do the loop/ happy new year 🤙

[@shivermetimbers4102]

Awesome 👍

[@goinsomewhere5700]

you two are the best!

[@snapstring]

Awesome. 👍

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing. Happy New Year. I think the Florida loop that you mentioned would be really nice to see.

[@cup_and_cone]

Smugglers Loop sounds awesome, but you should venture up to the panhandle at some point. Between Apalachicola and Pensacola are some of mainland Florida's most beautiful beaches...all the quartz from Appalachian mountains runs out and creates powder sand.

[@mwatling3816]

Happy New Guys

[@TheBeggFamily]

Cruising on that trimaran should be FUN! Looking forward to the videos.

[@carleenh4946]

Great Dinghy and motor. Very easy to lift onto one of the tramps as towing it above 7 knots might get hairy. Yes tour the Florida Coast. Tons of spots to tuck the tri in. Just into Charlotte Harbor, there's a great little nook off of Pelican Bay just south of Cayo Costa State Park (showers!!). We got our F22 in there 18' beam) so you wouldn't have a problem. You can easily roll the dinghy up and store in the cabin while travelling. Ditto with motor (store both forward I think for more tongue weight). I can't tell you how much I despise noseeums. Happy New Year!! Carleen and Jim

[@fredbrillo1849]

The trip across the Caloosagatchee to Stuart is awesome! I did it 2 years ago in a 30 ft sailboat over Christmas weekend!

[@bobbie7355]

I'm waiting patiently for the next sailing video. Hurry up already. Hugs from Texas. Fair winds full sails.

[@clayfarnet970]

We liked that video. 👍👍👍

[@r.l.sewall7944]

Would love to see a trip around Florida and into Lake "O". Hope to be down to Boynton Beach after getting the vaccine for older folks like us up here in N. H.

[@JimmyOnions1]

Fun video as always! Freaking Sierra, not a shred of make up on, hair in a ponytail and still the prettiest girl on KZbin

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

You just made my day. Thank you ☺️

[@frankrice5364]

Happy New Year guys love your vedios

[@karlbass7895]

Great setup with the trimaran and the dinghy! Yes, do the trip through Lake O out to the west coast. Hit Ft. Myers area, Cayo Costa, etc. Looking forward to some interesting waters :). Stay healthy & safe!! Happy New Year!!!

[@garthmcconnochie6186]

Hi Guys, you should have looked at Portabote they fold (no pumping) almost flat and you can lash them to the nets!

[@terrypennell416]

Yeah ! Sailing again !!!

[@westtexasdave2140]

The bag for the motor could use some rollers like a suitcase.

[@tommerola]

Did the loop 2 yrs ago in a 29 Watkins. Definitely do it!! The crossing thru Lake "O" is awesome, enjoy!

[@lindabutler7914]

West coast of Florida is the best you will love it ,Anna Marie island and Longboat key are great and you can't miss honeymoon beach.Oh your going to love have fun Happy New Year

[@BushImports]

That's a short dingy, the electric motor is neat. You guys have a great new year.

[@davehill7484]

Have always thought about doing the mini loop 👌definitely on the bucket list for sure. Although we would be on a 30 ft. Rampage talking to people whom have done this trip absolutely raved about it😉👌👍👍

[@tomd.3082]

I have a roll up dinghy also. Mine is a Newport Vessels 9'6" with a solid 4 piece piece floor, inflatable keel and rated for up to 10 h.p. I don't have an engine for it yet, but so far, it's been a really good platform for working on the hull of the boat. - S/V Celtic Star

[@srqlisa7881]

Of course you have to come over to the west coast, it's so different from the east coast. You could also plan to go to the crystal river area and snorkel with some manatees. We have Mote Marine in Sarasota. The Peace River with alligators there is so much to do. Happy New Years to you. Peace

[@kenschauer3781]

Nice...

[@51captbill]

Hi guys. I used a roll up on my f31. I got used to leaving it inflated upside down on the starboard net with two tie straps. Fast deploy and retrieval. Best of luck from charlotte harbor.

[@jodybruch829]

Love that you were wearing the same shirt😊

[@wavewaker2]

Love it;; living the life,,,opening big girl/boy toys.....waaah I don’t want to grow up......happy new year big boy and girl 👌😀😀,,, btw, every time u open a box always have a treat for jetty and other pet,, if you noticed they get excited too, then everybody is happy....👌

[@tunafins13]

Yes do the Florida loop.

[@hotrodhog2170]

Sierra's smile at 20:20 is priceless!

[@austinl.2703]

Happiness prevails ! 50 years ago I was introduced to a stuff sack for a pup tent and a sleeping bag. I wonder if you can apply this method to your dinghy ? Just stuff it into the available space. You guys are great ! HAPPY NEW YEAR !

[@melcenet]

Vi mando dall'Italia un grande grande saluto in Italiano. Siete forti... 😌😌💪💪💪💪

[@ON3L0VE]

I’m at Waterway Park at least 3 times a week, sad I missed seeing you guys.

[@sailfastnow]

I use the Torqeedo 4.0 Cruise on my Corsair F27. Super quiet, clean, and powerful! Have fun cruising!

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Is that the main propulsion for your F27 or is it for a dinghy? How do you charge it back up??

[@sailfastnow]

@@Tulasendlesssummer It is the main propulsion for my F27. It has more thrust than my old Nissan 8HP had. I have a charger on-board that charges my 4 - 12 volt batteries (in series for 48v) using shore power. It yields about 20 miles at 4-5kts. Less of course at faster speeds. If I'm going out for longer periods, I'd use a generator to charge up if there's no marina in sight (but that's extra weight and gas). I'd love to have the Torqeedo 48v battery pack which is lighter, but spendy - spendy :) On another thought... when you get use to the boat's performance - try boarding behind it when its blowing out! That would make a great vid! Happy New Year to you guys!

[@TheMorganMonroeShow]

We think you should come all the way up to the Clearwater area. Just saying, the Tampa Bay area is amazing. Hope to see you soon.

[@waltsailing2009]

Nice video...If you have a small shop vac, the kind that can be used wet/ dry, empty it out and reverse the hose and it will let you easily inflate the dingy... runs off the inverter...very fast.

[@hectorarbelo9965]

That’s awesome! Look her sporting her bling on her hand. Lol.

[@brianbiddle7590]

Please do the Florida loop! Its on our bucket list.

[@stevenclarue7802]

Dawg tested and dawg approved!

[@kenlynch6332]

Neat dinghy and YES to the Keys & Lake Okeechobee ⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵

[@dsimpleman67]

I’d prefer to see you leave Florida. As a viewer of sailing and boating I see a lot of Florida. I’d like to see you travel and experience new places and conditions. You’d be amazed with the Puget Sound and San Juan Islands. Hope to see you here someday.

[@chrisphinney6430]

Fun times

[@englishmaninfrance661]

Yeah, do the loop :) Cute little dinghy

[@jessicabrasington2944]

Do the mini loop!! Would love to see that. 😍

[@gc1914]

So nice too be back!! Happy New year!! Dry skiff ?

[@martykendall6547]

Awesome video, makes me want an inflatable. Where we dock our boat people spend a lot more time cruising in their dinghies than they do in their big boats.
