Hi Mark, Yoshi is having a ball, he soon settled in and he's enjoying his daily walks over the Mountain. He insists on sitting on my lap to watch the T.V. in the evenings - he's well loved.

[@arlisscott3455]

Your dad is becoming famous for rebuilds and oil changes. So happy you have a dad like that, they are precious! Happy boat hunting!

[@SoItGoesCAL34]

Nothing wrong with travelling to look at boats. It is not a waste of money. It is a learning experience and I enjoy watching your travels. Nice to see Yoshi at the beginning. Happy travels. Best of Luck. Stay safe

[@johny7206]

while you are between boats you can build a diy watermaker and shop electronic equipment ie new in box resale radar, depth finder...

[@coconutfleetsleeper5717]

100% love of a father! I wish I had that, cherish and treat it as such ♡♡♡

[@printmeup3417]

Looking forward to the tour Mark, Dads look at you with the wheel nut, the thoughts in his mind are to strong to put into words 😂😂😂. Take care Mark👍

[@sail4life]

My thoughts exactly! As long as the boat gets better treatment it will all be ok in the end!

[@marklehr8070]

Travel is always money well spent, and your Dad's a rock star. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

[@Lannie1948]

Your Dad and Mum are amazing!

[@morgancmill]

You’re a Golden Child Mark! Well done again dad.

[@dkbauman6982]

Enjoy the journey. I'll miss seeing little Yoshi. You have an awesome dad.

[@paullemon6542]

You have an awesome Dad

[@shieldaigbencher]

I would probably drop the sump on your Saab and replace the oil strainer as well since you have a really good mechanic on tap.

[@driftwood1906]

I agree. Sump and strainer clean is important on Saab's I always get it done. I'm on Saab number 7 now.

[@bobbrown9158]

Buying a boat vicariously through you, how fun. You dad is a superman.

[@timfenton5153]

Love the cup holder, make sure you get 1 for the boat, stay positive and keep going, thanks

[@WildlingSailing]

I've genuinely thought about it

[@jonathanclayton9107]

Old dad gets the job, he could probably change the oil in his sleep if he could rebuild that old Mercedes engine. Happy boat hunting Mark.

[@simonbartlett5]

I’m quite envious. Best of luck to you.

[@dukedirtywork620]

Several months ago I unsubbed when I thought you were leaving Yoshi, but YOU ARE A GREAT MAN WITH A GOOD HEART!!! thank you for being awesome man! You did the right think bless you.

[@nash5]

Nice reference to The Beautiful South song

[@savingsusanna]

That cup holder man.... I drive a small old van, it's got some kind of wedge cup holder in the pocket of the door. It's rubbish. Your's is so slick...just so, well, slick. Loving your boat hunting adventure! And as you well know, the looking - travelling meeting people - is all an adventure as well, and as worth it as pretty much anything else. Cheers mate! :)

[@WildlingSailing]

Cheers mate. Every car should have at least 4

[@Austringer]

loving the ferry entertainment, very phoenix nights

[@geoffhaze]

I own a Colin Archer Pilot cutter made out of steel. have sailed her in 3-meter seas, stable as not a problem. Not fast but very stable She just takes it in her stride as if saying is that all you have to offer. the only drawback is the skipper me my abilities and confidence are the only thing holding me back. She comes out for a refit next year. new engine, new electronics B ang G and a cabin top extension then off to see the world. Best of luck with your travels.

[@tomwhelan9872]

Pop to the rescue. Good to see him again. Good luck on the hunt.

[@Constablegrowler]

Your dad is my hero. No job ever too difficult.

[@rimeoftheancientmariner]

2:07 - “we don’t have a socket big enough for …”. Ask a neighbour? Hire one? Go to DIY store? Heck, no. Let’s manufacture one by welding “who knows what” to “I have no idea”. And hey presto filter thingy is out. Wildling Senior needs his own channel - stat.

[@jfv65]

Yes, i'm following 'my first boat' channel as well. Recommended if you like DIY and tinkering on boats.

[@kmatejovsky]

Keep in mind.... you are following the right process, the right way, for YOU. Those commenting that your doing it wrong are only speaking for themselves. BTW, Dad's Mustang is rocking the classic WELD Wheels. Nice touch.

[@dcallan812]

I hope you stopped for fish and chips in Hull. Great update 2x👍

[@Maoli2013]

You have the best Dad ever!

[@treaxlar8411]

Love that car 💕

[@evilla7579]

Remember Mark, the chase is better than the ketch 😁

[@tonysimpson5576]

Hey Mark, I can't believe all the comments you get. Well done. See ya on the track when the mud's dry.

[@zerofox7347]

It’s definitely not a waste of money, You are already on your life’s journey travelling the world. 🌍

[@thomasbalun3806]

You have a really good Dad

[@BadenBadenSwitzerBaden]

'a bit wintery', yeah man, that's how we do! Welcome to Northern Germany. Ping if you need any assistance on the North East (DE) coast.

[@cawfeedawg]

every time I see your dad's Mustang.. a puddle of drool forms on my keyboard. :O

[@MK-gr9qz]

Dad the hero🏋🏻‍♀️🤟🏋🏻‍♀️

[@latitudeash]

That’s not entertainment, that’s tourtière 😂🤣

[@gwrdriver1660]

Not a waste of money, wether you're traveling around in a car or boat, you're still traveling and giving interesting vids. Oh and your dad is a gem

[@MarcelEling]

Nice trip, nice car😃

[@WildlingSailing]

Thanks! 😃

[@ratandmonkey2982]

you have a great dad !

[@WildlingSailing]

he's alright :)

[@lawrencecanright2541]

Hope you find a boat that works as good as that cup holder!

[@AndersJackson]

That cup holder i the SAAB was an expensive detail, that was over engineered compared to other cars (but not to SAAB standards). And yes, there are a loot of room for sleeping in the car. Lower the back of the passenger seat also make a good sleeping area. Practiced that lots of times. 🙂

[@branleyhd]

Not a waste, good content

[@davidwolstenholme4676]

mark is lucky having a father thats good at fixing cars.

[@TroofNews]

Can’t beat a decent road trip mate. That ferry was luxury my wife would have stripped all the linen and toiletries 😂 Your Dad is a mechanical genius. 2023 is going to be a great year for you. 👍🏻

[@PaulGriffith]

"Need Service" was an understatement.

[@simons1543]

You crack me up with that drink holder. Your dad is a legend btw

[@cosmodog4845]

Love the mechanics.

[@pietersoeters9983]

Continue traveling looking at boats, it's not waisting money at all! Continue doing it and keep traveling and looking until you found your dream boat! Cheers

[@BobSmith-hz6bd]

Love these boat finding videos. Not a waste of money at all. It’s makes excellent content 👍

[@Austringer]

Thanks for sharing Mark, really wishing you the best of luck, it's getting exciting now!!! Upload anytime!!!

[@sailingprojectparrot]

We busy restoring a steel boat in Preston, welcome to pop over anytime to chat steel next time you home ⚓️🦜

[@edwardlagace9813]

No Not a waste of money whatsoever. This is education, we are learning from what you are doing. Peace Mark Keep it going forward the way you wish. The day will come when I become a patron. EZL

[@katamaranscom]

Arghh, I miss my drinks holder in my old Saab 9.5

[@Dr.Gunsmith]

Pleased your ok and no need to say sorry for spending money of travelling and looking for a boat.

[@timmywilson]

Love it. Road trip and meeting people. Love your positivity. I still say go for. 1 euro boat in the med. there is another couple who’ve bought one that are YouTubing and needs more work but can be fun

[@xpatsteve]

As for the money, as long as it's part of the adventure it's worth every penny!

[@coconutfleetsleeper5717]

I had no idea that there was Colin archer designs in steel. I've seen plenty of fibreglass. I grew up sailing a boat designed by Albert Anderson, a pupil(?) of Colin archer built in 1894 in gotenius warf in Göteborg. we restored and sailed her between 1991-2009 best thing I've ever sailed. She's in oslo last time i looked in to it. That is the cutter of love,life and all in between as far as I'm concerned ♡♡♡♡

[@pietersoeters9983]

Loce seeing Dad in his awesome Mustang!!

[@andrewwatkinson1548]

Best of luck mark, Saab looks cosy.

[@hablamosmalinois9767]

Go also to the nordic countries. There are some great deals to be made there. Especially in the off season

[@sailingmistral685]

absolutely right. Good times to buy a boat. It Must not be a 46ft. vessel.

[@jeffreygrantsmith]

Dude, I love the cup holder shots! :P :)

[@danielwaters2132]

Great world curser! Hope it turns out well for you Mark. It is good that you are searching close to home and the support of your Dad. Try not to get discouraged . Your boat is out there waiting for you to find her. You will know when you do.

[@paulscott6463]

You love that cup holder pal 😂😂 right steel boats, great option, drop me a message I can help you out with lots of advice, remember cracked mast help I gave you, I’m an ultrasonic inspector, working offshore, happy to help you out

[@pietoosthuizen1116]

Good luck on getting a boat

[@ninja1antelope]

Your dad’s man cave - shop is very nice!

[@thatguy2408]

I completely understand your trepidation on traveling. It’s spending money that could be spent on the boat. You are doing it the right way. Sleeping in the car. However, I’m surprised you didn’t make it just a tad more comfortable. Like a foam or hiking pad or something. Window blockers (homemade with cardboard and paint/fabric but it’s your trip not mine and you know what you’ll be comfortable with. Boat life to car life. No issues here. They are both traveling. And both have their quirks. And you can say I asked you to give your audience the reminder; to help support the content and the journey, “watch” all ads 30 seconds or less all the way through. Every little bit helps.

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Great update Mark. Can’t wait for the tour of this boat, as you say Colin Archer designs are great sea boats. Best of luck. Andy UK

[@Digiphex]

The looking and traveling, meeting friends, that is as much fun as sailing!!

[@donnakawana]

I luv your family an you! Wishing you well on your journey to your next floating home!! ✌🏼💗⛵

[@wysiwyg2006]

Enjoying your journey on the boat search.

[@andymacone]

Thanks for the video mark good to see your dad again hope this is the boat for you 👊👊👍👍👍

[@evilla7579]

Mark, as you plan a large roadtrip through Europe maybe its a good idea to put a large sticker of your channel on your car to promote your channel better. Something like 'The chase is better than the ketch, see Wildling sailing on youtube' along with the youtube logo, or something along those lines. I know a youtuber that raised significant in views through this. Just a thought 😃

[@artbymaryf7283]

Great idea👏👏👏

[@granularSodacan]

You've made so much progress in 9 months 🙂

[@pfalzgraf7527]

Looking forward to seeing that boat looked at!

[@naturalflow157]

Absolutely incredible video, it just feels like something so out of the world. It is adventurous, relaxing, and enjoyable to watch this experience you bring to us. And that's exactly what I needed to recharge my day to keep going again. Thank you so much, a big fan of your videos. :)

[@loripeaceandlove6391]

Wow! I’m so happy that Yoshi is on a holiday with your friends. And I wanted to tell you as one of the financial supporters of this channel. I absolutely 100% do not believe that you are wasting your money going around and looking for sale boats. PeaceAndLove Lori

[@WildlingSailing]

Thanks so much Lori :)

[@normabaker5837]

oooh, classic Mustang. Nice.

[@NailsofNorway]

The Colin Artcher's was originally built in my neighbour city. They are some absolutely gems when in their original wooden state🤩 I am lucky to see several of them still around each summer. Slow and rolling in the waves, but beautiful. I myself have partially grown up on first a 44 and then a 50 feet wooden fishing boat, with similar hull shapes. So I definitely have a weak spot for them. Brings back lots of good memories from when plastic boat was still outnumbered by the wooden ones and we felt that we had the Norwegian archipelago at our own disposal😍🚣🧜‍♀️

[@aaron405010]

Dont give up!

[@douglasnieblas74]

I’ve been watching My First Boat for a while now. The barge he just put in the water is over 100 years old. I really like that channel.

[@TomBaddley]

It is a great channel. Great to hear he's as friendly IRL as he seems narrating his videos.

[@evilla7579]

My First Boat is a great and friendly guy but he definately has some controversial ideas about boats to say the least.

[@jonathansimmonds5784]

Oh yes, and something we wrinklies have come to realise, the ability to steer from inside and not be lashed to death in an open cockpit.

[@boudicca-drumbass1571]

Hi Mark, I've just made my first Saling boat purchase and I will be aiming to live aboard and learning to sail and travel .... found a beautiful Westerly Longbow from 1972 with a recent very good survey ... going to move onboard next month and start my journey which I will be vlogging about. Love your channel and journeys

[@khombol69]

Definitely not wasting money! It’s worth looking around and adventuring

[@lovesunstory]

I laughed so hard for this one, you are a funny lad. Keep going

[@peterb9038]

I am enjoying the boat hunting. Your a man who can make even a cup holder entertaining.

[@richb313]

Looking forward to seeing the next candidate.

[@cornishhh]

You've got a good set up in the car. You could have a lot of adventures with that and a small trailer boat.

[@saxophool]

Weld er up! Dad can handle anything on a steel boat. 😎

[@davidwolstenholme4676]

that ferry door to your cabin needs some oil on the hinges

[@alan-sk7ky]

Yay! shout to MFB :-)

[@WildlingSailing]

such a legend

[@rolfsvensson5777]

Great boat! Hope that works out! The design is great and was built to rescue others! HMMM!

[@kevinmartin3859]

[@WildlingSailing]

Cheers mate!

[@martinhoflich6150]

the guy who does my first boat is a Wizard. one of very rare craftsman 👍

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Martin Höflich. What??? Seriously? Haven't you seen him doing the "bathroom" respectively shower on his Motoryacht? 2) Haven't you seen the pinholes in the bottom of the old barge??? Best regards, luck, health and wisdom.

[@martinhoflich6150]

@@Chr.U.Cas1622 well he's a lot better than me and he knows how to weld and is not scared ✌️

[@maureencoleman9248]

Not a waste, an adventure!!

[@chrisfullwood6643]

Classic ford mustang, in the UK, very nice.
