We BOUGHT a BOAT!!! | Full Marine Survey & Special Guests | S02E01 | PDG Adventures

This week we hop aboard our first sailing catamaran, a Seawind 1160 Deluxe, to complete the Survey, Haul-Out and Sea Trial of our new home! Join us on our journey of the purchase of S/V Plot Twist and start the next phase of our Adventure! Huge thank you to our Special Guest Stars Nick & Megan O'Kelly. They absolutely saved us from making a huge mistake and with their experience we feel 100% confident in our purchase. They are fantastic folks and are exactly as fun as you would imagine! Thanks you guys!!!

Congratulations

While my Marley (golden doodle) is big but nothing like Winston. You pave the way I’ll take notes for sure. Yes the dinghy ride will be enjoyed by all. Fair winds and following seas.

[@pdgadventures]

Thank you!!! Winston is adapting well and still seems to like us! He's a valuable member of the crew (if less than helpful 🤣) and we see this is as much his adventure as it is ours.

[@antonioferrari8891]

Congrats! The day of the purchase is the best on Earth!

[@pdgadventures]

Thank you!!! We are still enjoying the days on the water and not ready to sell yet. 😆 This was huge because it was the biggest step to a new lifestyle.

@@antonioferrari8891 🥺 sounds like a tragic story.

[@antonioferrari8891]

@@pdgadventures when you sell your beloved boat .... it is a sad story..... mitigated by the fact that you are buying a bigger one.....🥰

[@pdgadventures]

@@antonioferrari8891 that sounds fun too! We are already learning what we want in our next boat.

[@mattgoodman9463]

Daniel, this makes me so happy to see you and your wife living your life.

[@pdgadventures]

Thank you!!! It's certainly been quite the adventure so far and something tells me it's only just begun. Hope all is well and good with you too!

[@rsjenterprises7726]

Nothing like bringing your horse along for those long rides to re-provision

[@pdgadventures]

It's gonna be a unique looking dinghy ride that's certain!

[@ONHHoneybadger]

Yaaay! Wow, awesome plot twist!! Congratulations!

[@ONHHoneybadger]

Big difference between that rig and the one we worked on at dcyc 😂 finally a Winston size boat!!

[@pdgadventures]

Thank you!! 😁 We are terribly excited!

[@pdgadventures]

Lol, this is just barely big enough for the Winston!

[@Gottie1959]

Wow!! Congrats with your new home, happy sailings!!!

[@pdgadventures]

Thanks so much!

[@sjeffreyw]

Happy for you getting a boat. Nice to see you're friends of the Kelly's, I've been following them for years. I'm rather close to where they're from. They live in Portland, Oregon and I live in Washington State about 90 miles north. I'll be following you folks as well, have fun.

[@pdgadventures]

Thank you!!! Yes, Nick and Megan are such a treat. They quite literally saved us from making a massive mistake so we are definitely in their debt on that. Check out the previous video for some more of those details, oof, what a ride that was!!!

[@DellaDeLobos]

You need to do a boat tour, love to see the boat layout...

[@pdgadventures]

It is definitely in the production schedule, not sure when, but we are wanting to do a tour. Are you interested in an interior vs. exterior vs. all systems?

[@DellaDeLobos]

Love to see the interior layout please. Ya'll have guts doing what cha doing, being so new.... Thank you...@@pdgadventures

[@pdgadventures]

@@DellaDeLobos thank you for your support! We originally thought it would be years before we started living our dream but took the plunge and we realized now that nothing could really prepare us for this. We've learned so much, yet still so much to learn. Are you planning to buy a boat? Do you want to begin sailing? Or do you already sail?

[@DellaDeLobos]

Bought a Catalina 25 to learn on. Deciding whether I want a Catamaran or typical boat when I go bigger.@@pdgadventures

[@pdgadventures]

@@DellaDeLobos well, we'll be honest here, we've always been monohull sailors and the catamaran definitely handles (and moves) much differently while underway so that has taken some getting used to. And, yes, you do spend a lot of time on anchor when you're out cruising and catamarans handle the anchor life very nicely in both livability and comfort on anchor.

[@ReviewByGeorge]

Great video! Excellent editing👏

[@pdgadventures]

Thank you! We are always looking for ways to improve.

[@dd214veteran]

I’m documenting my time buying a boat as well. I just finished the survey on my potential new home last week.

[@pdgadventures]

Congratulations! It's certainly quite the process

[@dd214veteran]

@@pdgadventures where do you plan on cruising?

[@pdgadventures]

@@dd214veteran we are thinking about doing a Bahamas tour this winter/spring of '24 and high tailing it north (like Canada north) for the summer. What kind of boat are you looking at?

[@dd214veteran]

@@pdgadventures we are thinking about the same. Then maybe only as far north as New York in the winter. It’s a lagoon 380 currently in the BVI.

[@pdgadventures]

@@dd214veteran sounds awesome! Meet ya in the middle!!! 🎉

I wonder how much them dolphins charge that broker lol that’s how you sell a sailboat dolphins

What sounds does the mast make when it falls down Daniel? 😂

[@pdgadventures]

Well it's never happened to me but from what I imagine "creeeeeak, grooooaaannnn, SNAP, wooossshhh, boop, splasssshhh" 🤣🤣🤣

[@garyconway1073]

Pontoon boat with apartment attached. So sad

[@pdgadventures]

Yes, but an apartment that can point to 35 degrees and still sail at speeds comparable to a monohull of 10-15% greater waterline on that same point of sail. So there's that.
