Just found this channel! I've been planning a trip up the east coast, so this is perfect! Thanks for sharing.

I’m looking into full time boat living earlier than planned due to the unlivable conditions our global overlords have forced us into. From the outrageous cost of living, stagnant slave wages, ugly ass architecture, and having my tax dollars constantly fund war instead of investing in our country’s future. I’m absolutely over it all. Make no mistake, the globalist are on their way out! I love these authentic looks into that life, thank you so much for sharing and many blessings to you on your journey ❤.

If you stop at Roanoke Island (Manteo or Wanchese) and need a ride somewhere, send me a message. I live in Kill Devil Hills and can run you around. The Manteo marina is walking distance to the main town of Manteo (grocery stores, marine stores).

15:28 Older boats is subjective, given that insurance says old boats are 20 years. Second off purchasing a boat is the cheapest part, as the older boats require more work and replacement of systems. They also used materials that are end of life, Island packets prior to 2000ish have issue with their chainplates being 304 ss. Even you have had issues with things on your boat and had a through hull break I believe. The newer designs of monohulls are faster and more comfortable than boats from the 60s 70s, Idylle 1150 and of course Cyclades line, two boats that are on TH-cam sailed by youtubers the later having sailed around the world ala La Vagabond. There are tons of production boats that are in the 2000 that are amazing sailboats that are faster handle with better rigging and sail plans that perform better in light wind then 50-year-old boats. 15:41 Yeah, the government caught on that people were moving on to boats and used the worst examples to justify the legislation you saw down in Florida, even you felt unwanted, and it was echoed by other long-time cruisers that said the same thing.

Been through a number of those FL T-storms. Bad stuff have seen in excess of 80 Kts in them. And zero visibility. Yeah, no fun at all. Biggest danger is lightning and waterspouts. Either one can be the end. This is one reason that I love the E Caribbean. Veery few actual T-storms. Big ugly squalls of heave wind and rain but rarely lightning. Just when tropical systems come through. And the rain squalls give you a great fresh water supply.

Jersey City? Nahhhhh. if you're really cap'n courageous....Newtown Creek

Do what you can - with what you have - right where you are. Keep sailing, and don't listen to those naysayers.

Still hauling out here, PCHM.

7:53 boat you passed “Cutty” an island packet 👊🏼⚓️💙

Should have stopped at our home port at Oriental! Sailing capital of NC. There is a free town dock. th-cam.com/video/m7Z3l_0za74/w-d-xo.html

Very little about the actual comparison between comparison and advantages/disadvantages of Taking the ICW vs offshore.

Bock. Bock marine, run by the Bock family.

Just found your video channel. I sail the Chesapeake out of Annapolis and if you’re still looking for a place to winter the boat may I suggest Port Annapolis Marina on Back Creek, just south of Annapolis. It’s were I keep my boat and we have live aboards there.

You are doing great! Don't worry about what others think. You are ahead of 90% of sailors who would love doing your adventure. Love your attitude of moving forward regardless of the difficulties.

Hey... you should look at Deltaville, Va. Great place to do boat projects and live aboards aren't really an issue. Fishing Bay Marina and Jackson Creek are fine with it.

Hi Michael. Just wanted to say I have been enjoying your channel. This most recent video you mentioned no marina on Lake Ontario will take you. You also mentioned staying in Jersey city. I also work in the film industry. Well what's left of it anyway. I am a cinematographer and I sail a Contessa 32. I bought it during Covid in upper Michigan and sailed it back to NY and into the Erie Canal. I keep her at Safe Harbor in West Haverstraw. I would definitely recommend my marina over Jersey city. We have the 2 largest sections in the Hudson and the sailing is much better then NY Harbor. Also considerably cheaper than Jersey city. Give me a shout when and if you pass through. Safe sailing my friend.

So you’re a dipshit and a Trump supporter. 👍Unsubbed.

Stay in NC

Why can't you stay South where it's warmer, for the winter season?

Are you really a certified licensed captain?

Maybe it’s a sign. Register the boat in the US. Solves half your problems.

So different from living in winter on a boat in BC!

Hey Michael fellow Canadian here 👋. My husband and I enjoy your channel, however, I am getting a bit frustrated that you keep painting all power boaters with the same brush. We have travelled from Ontario to Key West and onto the Bahamas for a couple of years now. We always slow for boats on anchor, or on a dock. We also radio to request for a slow pass while underway. My husband loved to sail in his younger years, but time and arthritis has taken its toll so today we are limited to power boating. We love being on the water and have respect for all others who are enjoying it with us. Cheers and safe travels.

You said something in this video that made me like you even more. You get it. Safe travels.

I would probably find a place near Washington, North Carolina. The boat shouldn’t freeze and you can fly out of Raleigh if needed. I would consider filling out the paperwork for dual citizenship as well.

I just recently found this channel, and man, how refreshing. Reminds me of the old youtube. Regular people out doing cool stuff. Keep it man, hopefully I'll be out there in a few years. This gives me hope...

Awesome video as always! The route I took heading south from NJ to FL. Enjoy! It's a trip!

Great video, planning the same route except in the other direction. Thanks for sharing!

That marina in coinjock has a good prime rib dinner special. I was there for Christmas my first year out...

Hey, it has been long time, It’s always nice to see you are enjoying your life. Mauricio from Oakville Bronte Marina.😊

Sorry Michael. Last time I view and support u. ! Stop with the name calling. In the end it appears u are the actual jerk. See ya

I guess there are multiple places referred to as the Graveyard of the Atlantic - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graveyard_of_the_Atlantic

Hatteras is not the graveyard of the Atlantic, Sable Island is know as The graveyard of the Atlantic. I have been cruising those waters for years and never heard Hatteras referred to that way.

Its weird why doesnt family just offer you a place for the winter and instead say "the answer will present itself"...yeah the answer is give you a place to stay for a couple months

Where would you go and what you would you do differently if you had guaranteed income of let's say 10-15k/month guaranteed? Would you still be heading where you are going? Would you keep the same boat? Also - Why can't you just pull your boat out and put it on the hard with a heater on? Just curious.

Have you considered going to Nova Scotia for the winter?

I did a ICW a year ago, Charleston to Greenport NY. An amazing trip.

Yeah in europe as well, a lot of people living on boats but many of them temporary, either for sailing around the globe or just staying in meditarian sea. I think its really cool but you also have to be healthy to live the life you chose. I hope you can live your dream for many more years and you come up with many more cool videos. 🤘

Loyalist marina in Bath, Ontario, could've taken you No Problem. Lots of room here. The last haul-out is on October 31.

I disagree with you that the size of the boat matters but we've discussed this before. You ignore the contessa 26, cape dory 25 and 28, nor'sea 27 etc etc. But that's fine, we can disagree (even though you're wrong lol). But I did unsubscribe, I will not support a xenophobe and I could have dealt with you being an alt right sailor but I don't want to listen to politics when watching sailing videos. Best of luck.

Regarding borders, there is no Christianity left. If Jesus was crossing the Rio Grande, he would be put in jail. We pride ourselves for being good people, but the USA and soon Canada cannot be defined as being our brother's keepers. Soon we will all be celebrating the voyage of the St. Louis, that is who we are becoming.

Need to put a filter on when getting water anywhere.

As you are talking I noticed that there is a vapor or steam coming out of the exhaust?

You can get it under the sink filter for your water system waving a hand from SV fellowship👋

I thought you have to go back to Canada to renew your travel visa?

This episode was a recommendation on TH-cam for me and glad i watched as im in the exact spot right now! Heading south to Ft Meyers. 31 O'Day

Dude you are all over Savannah for being on foot. thunderbolt to the target, no big deal. Thunderbolt to west marine is a hike and a half!

We have loved the whole series of videos. I believe we have watched all of them. It's been very helpful to see the 'little' things that happen during your voyages. We find your honesty very refreshing! Dan & Annette

I am just there for a yacht delivery

I like your genuineness. Good job documenting anchor ages. On the hook and sailing sofla 15yrs
