It is the funny thing about sailing, that at first you might struggle with the movement, sickness, the work involved. But then that becomes the joyous part of sailing; the movement becomes calming, the work becomes rewarding, and getting off the boat becomes harder and harder.
Lovely small cruising boat. I lived part-time on a hand-built 37-foot gaff rigged schooner in the early 2000s on the coast of British Columbia. Wonderful way to live and travel.
Wonderful story, I’m sure a lot of people can relate. I purchased an old wooden boat after my divorce and restored it. It helped me get through a very tough period. Flash forward 25 years and I still have the amazing restored boat. Many happy memories. Good luck in your journey 😊
I could see myself in a similar situation in the future. How long did it take you to restore the boat? And how much time have you spent over the past 25 years keeping it in its restored condition? I've been fascinated by old wood sailing yachts since I was a little kid but have heard it's basically a full-time job keeping them maintained.
There is nothing better than the boat life. I have lived 7 years in my 44-foot sailboat, north of the polar circle, Bodø and Tromsø in northern Norway .The winters uo here can be harsh, with 2 meters of snow and fierce winter storms. But wouldn't be without it
I didn't think you could live up there on a sailboat. Do you have to have a bubbler or something to keep the water open in winter? Living on a sailboat was a dream of mine - and doing it in Norway where my mom came from would have been pretty amazing!
@@janinafisher101 The boat was frozen in the harbor for several weeks during winter. But the boat doesn't seem to take any damage from it. It is important to keep + degrees inside the boat and especially around hull penetrations / hoses.
When I lived aboard in Alaska, I only got frozen in once. It took several hours to get chipped out and use my hairdryer. No biggie, but I had to get to work!

Your boat is nice and cosy. You are an uplifting person and wish you all the best for your mental health. The ambient mood of sitting in your boat as the water slowly rocks and the calming peace.
My husband and I were liveaboards for 30 years together - sweet lifestyle! Cruised Mexico for several years. Now we are full time traveling the US in our small travel trailer. Your interior is beautiful!
@@millanferende6723 I was an insurance broker (still have my license) for many years. Worked in the summers when our boat was in Mexico & we would go back to the US to get out of the heat. Then I managed a boatyard & marina office while living aboard. Now retired.
I was on a Minesweeper with the US Navy. It took us longer to get across the Atlantic then it took you. We were 179 ft long, made out of wood. Great experience. Always slept well hearing the waves against the hull. Cheers.
Waves yes!! Wires…. That gets old and annoying. Your neighbors might use plastic bags to tie your halyards off the mast when you are gone to prove a point. Just sayin. But yes, chillin and sleeping and living on a boat is a good way to live. Especially in San Diego.
Nice video, Impressed with you, sometimes see people living in vans or boats and they seem like "posers". You strike me as very genuine, love your "style". Be safe, God Bless.
I thought about a boat tiny home when I started but it was out of my budget. I think it will be something I build soon enough. Where I’m from cottage life is big and it would be nice to pull up to a cottage job in a tiny home boat. For now I can only set up my tiny home trailer close to or at the launch for the lake. I absolutely love this lifestyle. I’m on month 8 now full time. You only live ☝️ life so I went all in and have been enjoying every minute.
Sailing is therapeutic for me, I know that for sure. Just have a dinghy but it still brings me great joy and peace. Forget day to day worries and chase the breeze. What a way to live. Be safe on your travels.
IMHO you are doing the right thing. I built my boat in the 90’s here in San Diego. Launched in 2000 and she has been my home ever since. I’m on a mooring near the Star of India downtown. My plan is to sail a lot locally this summer and head south in November. I’ll make my way north to Puerto Penasco in the spring and leave her on the hard during the hurricane season. You do a great job of describing the lifestyle.
Good for you-discovering the serenity of sailing. Best wishes! (Sailing has been a source of challenge and fascination…and a source of strength for me since I learned this timeless skill, this art, this lovely connection with nature, from my dad when I was 10, 59 years ago.)
for$1k you did well . less is more especially with boats . i had a 62 foot classic Italian yacht and as much as i loved her became overwhelming. i have a 34 foot boat now and it’s better all round. but as all yachts there is always a cost .
Happiness. Most people, when asked what their goal is, don't say that. Good for you. (And as someone who can retire next year, I have a little wisdom to draw from)
❤ the interior of your boat, a cat/ketch gives you more beam so more space below. Simple rig has many advantages as well. She looks in great condition, but paint can hide suprises as we all learn when agreeing to accept the challenge & responsibility of a wood boat. Looking forward to following your journey & especially seeing her under sail, which you may have shown already. Best of luck from 🇨🇦 & the PNW. 😊
I thought when I was younger about, buying a boat like this and cruising up the Mississippi to the Great lakes, or as far as I could go then up the Red River, but life set in and that dream went on the back burner.
What an amazing opportunity for you and your wonderful boat and of course all the people you meet through your travels. Best wishes on your adventure 🧡
Lived in Spain for some years..now back in Florida. Thought about returning live aboard options are the best, especially if one is not going to be overseas 12 months..perhaps 6 months. I thought about Canary Islands have been there many times (Lanz and Fuetevetura) taking my VW California on the ferry from Portugal. I would recommend the Algarve for slippage. Usually downtown with easy access to everything and secure. But, saling is a couples sport, so perhaps in the future. In the meantime, boating is excellent on the western coast of Florida down near Tampa. Be safe..the Atlantic can get very dangerous. Recommend following the Moroccan coast to Gilbalter. Safe travels..Randall
Beautiful wooden boat ❤.! I too have a (even more tiny) boat/home. She’s a Pacific Seacraft- Flicka 20. Yep. 20 ft. with all the same features as yours. Sleeps 2 adults (v-berth) and one non-adult (quarter berth), head, galley, setee and table. All you mentioned about maintaining and living and sailing is 1000 % true. I feel so happy and cozy and refocused when in, around and “playing” on my little vessel. It is therapy for sure. Will take a look a your “Adult Adventures” crew clan.. That describes me!!😂
Hey- thanks for the video. I picked up a few interesting tips! I don't do well with mold so hearing about the wooden boat tip, and the baskets for clothes... good stuff. You were near our island when you were in the Canaries! Happy sailing, and may Games be the site of healing you've envisioned.
starboard used to be the steering side of the boat (majority of people right handed), port side is the dock/port side because the steering gear /steering board was in the way on the other side
Starboard and port derive from the Portuguese estibordo and bombordo while they were navigating south along the African coast, on the left you had the “good side” with port you could reach the docks, on the the right you had the “star side” (estibordo) or starboard
@@skippywinters That sounds more like a conflation of the term Posh.. Port side Out Starboard side Home ... because that was the cooler side of the boat . Mostly from days of the 🇬🇧 Empire travelling to the near and far East via Capetown or Suez after it was built.

I'd be a lot more interested in hearing how she brought this old wooden project boat to its current condition rather than hearing about power banks, baskets, and whatever Pottery Barn style furnishings she put into it.
It is the funny thing about sailing, that at first you might struggle with the movement, sickness, the work involved. But then that becomes the joyous part of sailing; the movement becomes calming, the work becomes rewarding, and getting off the boat becomes harder and harder.

The sound of the waves lapping against the hull and wires clinking on masts can be a good background when you want to relax.
