I dreamed a yacht, to sail the sea, to see you around. Share sailing skills, enjoy the beach, the surf, home cooking and smiles. Watch the sun go down, hug you hello, and kiss you goodbye. Brandy! your narrative brings it alive, Merry Xmas.
great video. Not a sailor but my wife says life is not boring being married to me. We travel to remote locations, live in a cabin in the forest, snow during the winter, wildfires during the summer. For those that like a boring life great, We preferer life to be an adventure.
Hi Beau and Brandy, I have followed you for many many years and of all the episodes I’ve seen this episodes about “ hidden realities“, is the best you’ve ever done. Your descriptions of life are actually applicable to anyone. You’re writing is very poetic and thought-provoking. Thank you so much for doing such a great job with this. Keep up the good work.
just want to say thank you for entertaining us every week with your videos of your travels...wishing you both a Merry Christmas and a safe and fun 2025 😃😎
And the one subject you left open, or untouched, "life with a partner".. As one who did think about it, I quickly discovered, a single sailor, has way more issues and concerns than couples.😢 It brings sailing to a whole new experience... Singles can't do a lot of sailing! Need more time to do everything. Spend more time in Port than on the open sea for sure... A sailor life is best spent as a couple for sure..
Hey Brandy (and Beau), I can see YOU do a lot of work into editing. Very interesting and useful perspective on the sailing lifestyle. Once again, I really enjoyed your video
That was very well put together with great narration and plenty of archived footage. Really blowing the dust off and clearing the air for your next adventure!
Ups downs highs lows panics great days and the we are all going to die days. But the great days out do the bad ones. If you love it and prosper that is the life for you.
I love this episode. It helps to remember why we do this while we're hauled out and the tasks seem endless. With a year(ish) out of the water, reminders like this one really help.
Thank you, very informative and you do a wonderful job narrating. It's good to hear all aspects of the boat/cruiser lifestyle & experiences. ❤😂🙄🤩 ~love from Michigan~
One of the things I really like about your boat is it is small enough to be relatively easily handled . I know of a few very comfortable boats fiends have that are too big to dock without crew
We provisioned a bareboat charter out of Honolulu Bay. Left a driver's license at the supermarket and pushed 2 carts over a mile back to the marina. While the crew stowed everything, 1 person ran the carts back to the supermarket.
Interesting video. However, before I started sailing long distances, I'd make sure I sailed well enough to be able to sail (without an engine) right up along side a dinghy that got away and pick its painter up with a boat hook. Not being able to do that and having to have someone jump in the water to swim to go get it bodes even WORSE for man-overboard situations! YIKES.
@@emilybh6255but sometime you just have to go for it! It’s a problem when issues give sailors a bad name but if we didn’t have adventurers nobody would have found America🤷♂️
LIVEABOARDS... I know we forgot some, share your TOP hidden realities for all of those thinking about living this boat life.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate that! 😊
You said it.... Home is where you find peace...
Ready good episode. 👏
Watching you two over the years, the one thing I think is so important is your ability to adapt to whatever come at you.

Nice video You made so many good points. Keep up the good work.
Excellent video well thought out and done. Thank you
I know all of the feelings that you just portrayed, And it never got old. Each new day was a different adventure.
Exactly!!
I love this episode. It helps to remember why we do this while we're hauled out and the tasks seem endless. With a year(ish) out of the water, reminders like this one really help.
I love how you keep it honest, showing the good and the bad of sailing.
It's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. 😊
All so true. Wonderfully spoken and good information for someone contemplating this life 😍
Excellent. Well done.
Very well done Salute! ! Have a merry Christmas
Beautifully put!

We do love our little home 💛
Keeping it real as always! Thanks for the video 😊
Gotta keep it real, you know us 😁
Sois los que mostráis la realidad de navegar a vela, o al menos los que más me recordáis tiempos pasados en lugares inolvidables.
Very true.
That was one of the best TH-cam videos I have ever watched! You guys are both awesome. I am more inspired than ever!!!
Thanks, that means a lot! 🤗
Great video guys...thanks !
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Life aboard certainly has its challenges!
It sure does!
Thanks again for letting us tag along 😊

Been there fine that 🤪
Now, that was a genuinely nice and very true video!
Well done guys!
Cheers 🍻🍻
You guys are so authentic, love your videos
Very informative. May God continue to bless you
Thank you so much!🙏

If that situation is a Yikes moment for you, maybe you should consider not sailing.
@@dobrodaddy2850 I made the comment because I've been sailing since I was 6 years old. I know what I'm talking about.

Nice video. Very well put together and keeping it simple, whilst putting a lot of information out there, well done.
