[@caromarco6315]

I’m so pleased I went back and watched this video! It’s gives a good understanding of the lead into buying the boat!

[@gregjoubert5118]

Tomorrow is always a question mark. You made the right choice for your journey. Enjoy it fully, and kiss the ocean for me. 🍻

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Will do 👊

[@Larrysusmanuk]

Absolutely brilliant, go for it and you’ll never have to wonder and say “I wish we had done that” 🤙🏻

[@scottjohnson1939]

We recently sold our 2016 4runner kitted for overlanding and bought a cruising sailboat that we are living on in California. We will see you out there....

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Awesome! Hope one day we can share a drink and lots of stories!

[@valerieb.4912]

Hi guys ! Congratulations on your new adventures. I was watching a couple (Jason and Nikki (Gone with the Wynns)) several years ago change their life from camping to sailing. They bought an old Leopard 42 and watch them become excellent sailors. They now have a brand new HH44. So welcome to the sailing community! Happy Sailing ⛵

[@camoran1990]

Okay super funny to see our boat in the background and that roving powerboat as well. SV Run A Muck

[@mrsound-gard7556]

Congratulations. I have the utmost admiration for you guys, being bold and courageous enough to go out on a limb for what you want to achieve and be true to yourselves. I wish you all the best for your future adventures and will watch with interest.

[@juicychills7546]

The best place to buy all you tools is one of those street markets were they sell all the stolen gear from home depo super cheap and its all brand new gear.

[@charlesb4267]

If the boat doesn't have an official name I have one in mind 😋

[@sailingcassandraville]

@LAIKIPIAmusic! I love your theme song!

[@Fwdking]

Just found the channel , subscribed. 👍🇦🇺🦘

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Cheers! 🤙

[@irish_ladd4]

I'm glad I came across your channel. I like watching channels like this. Congratulations to the both of you!

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@weldonbradstreet1723]

Rebrand the channel "Surf Sunrise" and let's go sailing! Congrats on the boat purchase, looking forward to your new adventures!

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

​@@SOLDOZER They have done some training and have shared time with sailing friends . They are young bright and hopefully tech savvy and familiar with a tool kit ... The boat is well suited to their needs and is relatively new...there's are a whole lot of cleaning and basic maintenance work to do. 🇬🇧🧙🏻‍♂️ I'm betting having seen a lot of young and older folks rebuild free or 1 € boats and floating or even part sunken boats they will do fine.👍🏼🤞🏻 As Captain Q would say it floats and it doesn't leak ...it gets bonus points. The boats not even that old .

[@justherb666]

I know how much you guys love Tula’s Endless Summer (thanks for turning me on to them) and now you have the same kind of boat they have. I hope you can get in touch with them for help/tips/advice!

[@onasledoverland]

Awesome!!!!. Being a long time sailor, I'm envious. Being an old man, I can tell you that you've done the right thing by following your dreams. I've been watching the Wynns for about 10 years now, and can't wait to follow you on this brave adventure. ❤❤❤

[@bootsandsocks]

West coast Florida here, we got our boat 2 years and taking off end of this year. See ya in the islands. FYI Land Cruiser forever

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Awesome! (Totally agree Land Cruiser till we die!) haha

[@camsbeoch]

Same! Not kidding. We just pulled the trigger on a 2011 Beneteau Oceanis 50. We felt the exact same emotions. The boat is in Nova Scotia. We're currently packing up a minivan to drive across country. It will be fun to watch you guys going through the same stuff we are. We will have to meet up!

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Very cool! Always good to know there are other crazy people out there! Hope all goes well for you!

[@justinstevenson5807]

Congrats to the both of you.. I’m also sitting on the sidelines about buying a boat. I just can’t get past the bad financial decision and depreciation involved. It’s like even worse than buying a car! But I’ll be watching your journey.. go for it!

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Haha yeah...it's a big purchase! Thanks for coming along!

[@dubuandmore7907]

We totally understand you. We are in the same situation . Traveling since 6 years with our truck and now we know exactly which boat we are looking for. We had the same feelings. You're doing the right thing. Congratulations to your nice Seawind. Greetings from the Bahamas

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Thank you! Maybe we'll see in the Bahamas!

[@JohnS-zq8ks]

Did the course you did last year provide enough experience to insure your new venture without having to bring a captain on board for some training, etc.? So excited for you guys. Do you follow Gone with the Wynns?

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Yes, but it's still nearly impossible to get insurance without years of documented experience. We've been patrons of the Wynn's for years. Impressive folks!

[@colinbrown4482]

Stumbled upon you guys, i subscribed and i look forward to following you both on your journey Congrats on your purchase, i do believe you made a good choice It also sounds like the seller was very helpful, which is always good i wish you both nothing but good

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Thank you so much!

[@madchap5828]

I'm so stoked for you two! I think I saw this coming, but because you two have always been so thrifty, I thought you'd get some cheap old classic plastic and fix it up. But you dived into the deep end and bought an awesome cat. I've loved the Seawinds, so glad you went this direction. I've been a small boat sailor all my life and at just over 60 have an opportunity to live in the best cruising grounds in the US - the San Juan Islands. Looking forward to getting back on the water myself. We're all excited to see you in this next adventure.

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

We decided to go for it haha. Thanks for the comments, Can't wait to sail the San Juans! Cheers!

[@AllenVanVliet]

Abraham would be yelling at ya while videoing raising of the main telling you to help, cool to see someone execute the dream i got from same trainer

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Abraham was awesome! We had a great time learning and getting to know him.

[@TravelerJerryLee]

From Viet Nam to boat owners....I can just imagine you two sailing to amazing places! hoping your channel blows up on this new adventure!

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Us too!

[@jameslefebvre5046]

We’re 3-5 years away from where you’re at today so I’m so excited to see y’all’s journey and learn from you all. We’ll see you on the water in 5 years if you’re still there!

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Looking forward to it!

[@FurthurOffRoad]

Makin' them dreams happen, one by one. You guys are awesome!

[@Falney]

If you are ever on a dingy with a water proof back pack again. Either take it off or wear it on your chest. If you fall off the boat with it on your back, you will end up face down in the water and find it harder to right your self.

[@charyllwenger1376]

As a huge fan of boat life KZbinrs, there is a huge community that is available to you. Here’s to the ride. Yeehaw!!!!🤪

[@gondirtin]

CONGRATS Y'ALL!!! This huge. So excited for you both and looking forward to your adventures in the future with it!

[@campoutwestus]

How exciting! I am looking forward to following along on your new adventure. Wishing you the best!

[@philbro1829]

WONDERFUL TO WATCH YOU GUYS... ___ing beautiful life, I can't wait to watch the DRAMA unfold... hugs and kisses 💋 😘

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Haha thanks!

[@jessestamper4092]

This actually seems like it has a lot of venn diagram overlap with overlanding, it is vehicle based adventure after all. May the odds and winds be in your favor!

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

So many similarities

[@charonstyxferryman]

Congrats. I want a boat too. Not a sailboat, though, because deep draft and a high mast isn't a good idea in the European Waterways and the Wadden Sea.

[@sailingsandy7971]

Great choice! I just discovered your channel. I regularly crew on Seawind 1260/1250 and they are great boats. Reliable and will look the same 10 years from now. Look forward to your adventure

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Thanks for the comment! Always good to hear from someone who is familiar with this boat!

[@wyattfranz1084]

If you need any recommendations for St. Thomas (Where I live) or St. John let me know!

[@rboston33]

Uped, subd and wil follow

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Thank you!

[@space-pop3527]

I started with the next video and decided to back up to the beginning of the boat purchase. Looking forward to seeing your progress! I watch several utube videos and enjoy them all. Wish I had been interested when I was younger and healthy. Enjoy this part of your journey. Dale

[@MexicoDrones]

You two are awesome. Savings spent but still time millionaires!

[@tom911]

Congratulations

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Thank you!

[@tnllifeunedited9165]

🤠👍

[@OkieNomads]

Just when we think we are in similar “worlds” to you two, you do something like this. Congrats! Inspiring guts for sure!

[@awkragt]

DriveNachoDrive setting off in their sailboat and now you guys. Who knew the next big thing in overlanding is sailboating?

[@gusscott1422]

Excellent choice to follow your dreams! Thanks for the inspiration, way to go!

[@kptbillburkett8735]

Hi! I just ran across your channel today. And I would say 1) is go watch "Gone with the Wynns" . 2) This is most likely to be the Biggest thing that could happen for your channel. 3) Start from showing everything about the Boat, what cought your eye, why you Bought the boat, and what is it going to take to get her under way. And 4) where do you plan to go? Around the would or just up and down the cost. The " Wynns " went from a Land yacht to a cat to Now a brand New HH cat. And from about 100k subscribers to almost 500k subscribers. So this is a Big Life Changing Event! So I would show Everything about getting the Boat 🚢 "In Ship Shape " Pun intended! Take some Comments as help. And ya'll well be right as rain. In my Opinion. The Seawind cat's are one of the most Affordable ways to see the world. Is simple and easy to work on. And are Comfortable boats. Easy to Maintain. Now things I would do is 1) install a "water maker" .2) a washing machine 3) Solar and 4) Lithium batteries. Now I know you most likely have to put on New sails and Rigging and New sheets. And maybe a New Anchor and chain. And you need to check your Sell drives. And New Bottom paint( I Suggest copper coat) because it last about 10 to 15 years. And it is way Easier to clean and Maintain your hole. I know this is a lot. But just my opinion. I remember when I got my boat 🚢. There was a ton of info and it was like trying to drink from a Firehose. But with help you will get there. So thank you for your video 📹 and I am looking forward for the next one. So until next time ⏲️, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! Cheers 🍻 and Congratulations on your New Boat and the rest of your lives. May the Great Adventure began! P.s. Who knows, I may see your sails ⛵️ on the Horizon someday from our lanai! Aloha KptBill = (Captain Bill)

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Cheers Bill. Great suggestions. Just installed a new anchor, lithium and we're doing chain and water maker next once I finish going through the engines. We've been a patron of the Wynn's and Delos for many years. Good stuff. See you on the horizon! 🤙

[@JohnHMoore]

Very excited for you!!

[@raymondbradley6788]

Awesome👍👍👍

[@Solvefunction]

So Happy and Excited for you two! So cool to see you stepping into new challenges and andventure.

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Thanks man

[@GuyFromGeorgia]

New subscriber here. Looking forward to following along. And now that you're official KZbin Cruisers, ya gotta find your way around this world to catch up with the Wynns of Gone With The Wynns fame; I think they're around Malaysia now. Nearly identical couples chasing the exact same dream, just about 6 or 7 years apart. Safe voyages, gang!

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

We love the Wynns, would be fun to run into them someday. Cheers!

[@michaelmiller2599]

You two are inspirational - I once bought a 1966 Pearson Vanguard and spent two years refitting it and spending far too much on a boat I knew nothing about - fast forward, I left my CA marina and spent two and a half years singlehanding UHURU around Mexico and parts of the Pacific - hands down the best experience I’ve ever had. Returned safely, sold the boat, moved to Mexico, spent 21 years there working, retired a little over a year ago, relocated to Michigan, just bought a brand new 2024 Ranger Tug 29CB and will now fulfill the next chapter of exploring the Great Lakes and enjoying life on the water again. I’m very excited for you both and wish you only the best - fair winds and following seas from the captain of CHECKMATE 👍🏼👊🏻 - I look forward to following you on your new endeavor 😊

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Very cool! Maybe we will see you out there! We would love to check out your boat (Sounds awesome!)

[@markrabone6584]

Seawind is my choice too

[@leoniewellesley6684]

Looking forward to watching your journey. We are sailors watching from New Zealand :)

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Thank you! Maybe we will sail to New Zealand one day!

[@sj143]

Good luck on the new adventure Sweet boat. We’ve had a sailboat beached down here in Boca for 4 months that’s now state owned and they are taking bids to remove. Would be a cheap entry for someone. I’ll be following your life on the water

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Thank you!

[@scottjohnson1939]

Ah....its been a while since i watched your channel but i knew you guys would some day go cruising and here you are....congratulations.......you guys are wired for the cruising life and it will be another wonderful adventure. Congrats....

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

[@danwhiteman2529]

Congrats guys, I wish you Fair Winds and Following Seas. Happy Trails

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Thanks so much!

[@RustyOlive]

Outstanding!!! I couldn’t be more excited for you two! A dream I have dreamt of for decades, living on a cat. Exploring the oceans and cultures connected by the same waters. The world is your backyard! Absolutely, looking forward to following more of your adventures.

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Thank you Thank you!

[@cmoreoverland6739]

What a great development.....You guys will kill it...Keep smiling and giggle in the face of adversity. The happiest day in a sailor's life is obtain his/her own boat; the second is selling her.

[@sarahdell4042]

Wow! Massive congratulations! Don’t sell yourselves short, that’s a baller boat! Great mindset. Life is far too short unfortunately. You two are going to have a blast. 🎉🎉

[@sailingcarpevita128]

Welcome to the cruising world! We are still in the Bahamas, stop by for a sundowner.

[@cruzinZ]

Skip the rental car and get a minivan. Load it to the gills and drive cross country with all your tools and possessions.

[@tlmcj505]

So exciting! Love that you to are living big brave lives!!!

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

❤️

[@dstgean]

Possibly my favorite episode ever!

[@johnparker7945]

Thank you!

[@paulwinskill5810]

Just stumbled across your channel. Congratulations on getting the Seawind 1260, a stunning cat 😀 I'm in for the long haul on your journey 🙂

[@AnnaleeD]

Best of luck! Agree life is short the older I get the more I have to let go of things that don’t make sense at 61 that may have made sense at 31. Looking forward to your adventures. Just subscribed.

[@twocatsandacamper]

Congratulations!!! I've been following your adventures since the Pan-American & I'm so excited to see you all take this next step. My husband & I are now on our own Pan-American journey, so thank you for the knowledge & inspiration you've given us over the years! We've been dreaming of a future boat ourselves... maybe one day! You two are so awesome. Thanks for sharing your journey!

[@Swimbikerunpdx]

So exciting to watch! I didn’t necessarily go in order. I watched the second boat video and then I watched this one. Excited to see what adventures are coming. Thanks for sharing your raw emotions, I can see how scary it is, your face lost color when you actually committed to buying the boat. I’ve been there before, way to throw your hats over that wall. 🎉🎉🎉

[@markwenholz8160]

Thanks for taking us on your boat buying adventure. Sounds great, I agree with the comments about surf sunrise, or salty sunrise. Where's the dirt? Hahaha

[@jimhagler2242]

Hey guys! Love your new boat and looking forward to seeing your adventures. JimnJudy in Texas.

[@TheEarthwinders]

I already loved you guys; now you gotta go and jump into another category of videos I follow with earnest. Gonna love watching you learn to sail and the adventures that come! Carpe diem! Wife and I were debating what you'll have to re-name the channel now. SaltSunset? LOL

[@lawrencecanright2541]

That kind of excitement is worth every dollar. Way down the road you may forget many things, but not this. Have fun!

[@bwwhaler1]

Congratulations on getting the boat you wanted. I look forward to seeing your future videos, welcome to the cruising world, I'm sure you guys will Excell at cruising just like you do with everything else in your lives.

[@elpollolloyo7817]

100% Approval. I stayed in a sail boat in La Paz for a few days and it was giving me the same idea. LIVE IT UP!

[@ambienteterrazas]

Where in Baja did you get the certifications? is it like a class for sailing?

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Yes, check out Sea of Cortez Sailing. Great folks that offer ASA certifications in all sorts of types of sailing.

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

We were in La Paz. It is an ASA-certified school. Here is the video about it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJKaomemoZiGgsU There is more info in the description of that video too.

[@charlesfaulkingham5599]

Just think of all the distant , exciting destinations awaiting you!❤👏👏

[@designsalive]

Congrats on the new boat. Maybe the channel name should be Ocean Sunrise or something along those lines.

[@xPikaZzHD]

Great choice guyzz!

Hi guys! It’s John( that guy you met at the L C museum who now lives in Rodeo/ Portal). So happy for you and your move into the sailing world! It brought me another level of adventure at one time in my life and I can say that now is always the time to do it. Time waits for no one, all the best to you- fair winds and following seas.

[@SaltySunriseSailing]

Thanks John! 👍

[@KevIsOffGrid]

Well done again, look forward to the adventures, and seeing the restoration/build before that. Lap of the world incoming?
