Speaking for only myself (who else could I speak for?) I empathize with your health issues causing you to sell your blue water home. Times and circumstances change, hopefully your "conditions" or issues that plague you will sort themselves out over time and you as a family can again journey onward to another adventure in life. I am fortunate that I too sailed the deep on our own 64' Ketch rig for many years while young and healthy. We stowed-away many an adventure and passages to last me the rest of my days even though I am over 70 now. I tell folks always try and go exploring or adventuring when as young and fit as possible, you can work your way around the world in your own vessel if you are willing to work hard and do jobs that other cruisers are not want to do. We walked away from a land based business (sold it while it was running profitably ), took on the 64" ketch and her repair work needed although the hull, masts, spars and engine were in fair shape, all else need replaced including all sails, standing rigging, shaft, all electronics and every piece of halyard, line, lifelines and stanchions including the bell rope (charlie Nobel) Great memories for the wife and I as I am sure you have as well. Keep on keepin' on, you arr sea dogs of the special breed. Be well, keep your sense of purpose and enjoy every minuet you draw breath. Thank you again for sharing your journey.

Sorry to hear the news of your selling your boat! I checked in to see your next video and the selling your boat video came up,:o! I really enjoy listening to you and all of your videos. You must be sure that just some recuperation for a couple months won't help your health problems? I hope you give us a farewell video. Thank you for taking us along on all of your travels!

Did you get your money back that you put into it? Most of the time this is not the case. When ever I buy a boat I never overspend, as I know someday I just might have to sell it.
@arlipscomb7 жыл бұрын
Sorry to hear of your health issues. That is my biggest fear in life, that something will happen before I get to see more of the world. Hope you guys can find a way to make more content, you do very good work. (consider including the web site in the sale, it is pretty cool). I found you when you were in the RV, maybe that world will work out for you? Take care and hope to meet you both one day.

Great, thorough sales brochure for your cool boat!! I doubt you will have trouble finding a good buyer for her! Going to miss following your journey though! All the best for your future adventures! One question: How did you like the Garmin charts and plotter? I'm considering their latest plotter for our boat.

YES HEALTH ISSUES CAN STOP YOU IN YOUR TRACKS I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE. HAD TO SELL MY HARLEY SINCE IVE GOT A TITANIUM SPINE FROM S1 TO L3... HOPE WHATEVER IS THE PROBLEM IS FIXABLE AND YOU CAN AT LEAST GET BACK TO THE RV. I LIVE IN A CLASS A FULL TIME AND ITS A JOB FOR ME. FAIR WINDS AND SMOOTH ROADS TO THE BOTH OF YOU.

dang wish I could. I would love to live aboard(or so I think?) just been Midwesterner canoer but would love to try for bigger water and bigger fish. travelling around the globe is something I think everyone would like to do at least once in their life. problem for me is I am low wage guy, with all the expense & things ya need to know/do to liveaboard makes me think it will never happen or be long journey I can't take first step on now.

Sad to hear this I really enjoyed the sailing vids. I have an idea. Hold a raffle for your subs at a $100.00 a ticket. At 8000 plus subs just get 500 and the $50000. goal is met and maybe a lot more. I'll through down for a ticket.
