365 days I crewed on sailboats from San Diego, USA all the way down to Panama, stopping in Mexico and Costa Rica. After Panama crossing the Pacific Ocean to New Zealand stopping at islands like the Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia, Tonga and Fiji
45 days I traveled through New Zealand from the Northernmost point to the Southernmost point, then
100 days I traveled by motorbike through Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, then
365 days I traveled in my self-built campervan from Kyrgyzstan to Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, then
365 days I traveled with this van through Iran and Pakistan, then
180 days I built an off-grid log cabin in the woods in Spain, then
180 days I restored an old sailboat in Guatemala, then

Good Stuff! So many sailors missed the point that these people live by... KEEP IT SIMPLE!
When I see all the domestic appliances people have onboard now and the number of hours spent at fixing them (or being dumped in the bottom of the ocean with all that plastic …) it makes me cringe : so much effort lost just for grating cheese or "enjoying" a milk shake…
@@vincent7520 well put man, modern yachts are packed with rubbish, it has definitely gone too far... Simplicity is the future. Keep Shunting, Balkan Shipyards
So inspiring. I have a 1974 25ft C&C, getting outfitted and want to cross the pacific with in the future. Sailed alot just haven't done a crossing and excited to. Thank you for your video 😊
I had a Cal 25 - one of my favourite boats! If you're going to go offshore in something under 30 ft, that's a pretty good choice: indestructible, sails very well in heavy air.
Yay, Pearl & Dave! Pearl is my aunt, and we've been closely following their amazing trip. So glad you were able to feature them!
Thank you Delon, they are truly an amazing couple!
Do Pearl & Dave have a website or social media so I can follow along too?
@@HeatherRoach818
They seem like they HATE social media. Leave them alone.
@@HeatherRoach818 I wondered about that too, & a bit of searching came up with this: www.omick.net/adventure/sailing/sailing_offshore/sailing_offshore.html
There's some useful advice in the links there on fitting out a sailboat on a tight budget.
DelonSouthMain do they have a channel?
What a great couple! Thanks for the interview!
Yes absolutely they are awesome! Thanks for your comment! Huub
Crossed the Pacific to TEST the boat?. What absolute IDIOTS!
I Single-handed sailed my Columbia 26 sailboat without a motor using a plastic sexton for navigation from San Diego to Hawaii then on to Guam total of 7800 miles in 1980. 28 days to Hawaii then 36 singlehanded to Guam where my pregnant GF was waiting for me.
Most harbors I sailed into require you to motor in, not sail in.
@@dixondavies don't go in the harbor.. or do what you gotta do.

This video interview is unique! Quote "We don't do salary work, and it works out for us" Key is Joy and to know when to let it go! Lovely!
Hey Andreas! Thank you so much. I was so impressed by them. They are really an inspiration for me and many of us!
You caught the two main points.
Awesome observation
nice boat. lovely lady/couple. appreciative of them wanting to leave a small footprint on the planet. no engine. the simple life. the way it's supposed to be.
Thank you for your lovely comment!
May you two live long .....together....
I have watched HUNDREDS of videos here on sailing. It is also a dream of my own. From SV Delos, to Riley and Elaina on La Vagabond (1&2), to even Tika on sailing Uma and many many more. This is HANDS DOWN, the best video I have watched.. So inspiring!!
Thank you Gabby, I really appreciate you saying that :)
I stopped watching most of the lifestyle videos u mentioned coz at some point it became a soap opera / drama to me .... I guess I'm just more into the sailing aspect rather than the personality thing ...
Absolutely love this, and so inspiring. This couple remind me of the Lin & Larry Pardey: Go small, Go simple, Go now. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Sandy S Harris, yes they are amazing!
ha ha i just wrote a paragraph size comment praising L&L pardey, and now i find your comment! What a wonderful smart couple!
Crossed the Pacific to TEST the boat?. What absolute IDIOTS!
They remind me of the Donald & Ivanka both such pleasant couples !!!!
I read about this couple in "Small Craft Advisor" magazine back in 2017, amazing story. Just stumbled across this video while searching Cape Dory 25's, gotta love TH-cam!
Thank you for sharing their story! 25ft....man thats the real adventure!
Beautiful story about love and the sea, appreciate it!
what a beautiful couple
Yes! totally!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful couple with us.
Wherever they are I hope you can send them my love
Really cool, man! Recently got myself a 24' sailboat so that's very inspiring! Happy sailing and awesome interview!
Thanks peewaye! Awesome that you just bought a boat! Have Fun!
I sailed alone in a 25-foot boat in the northern Great Lakes. Most of this was with no dependence on a motor. No motor makes you a sailor. It takes real care and some luck to do this under all conditions. You must anticipate adversities and prepare for them. The long stretches with no wind were the worst thing, but when the wind blew I was on top of the world and in full control.
When I saw the oars. I couldn’t believe it. Then I realized, that’s one way to keep fit when your older.
Wow yous 2 are an inspiration..me in my mid 40s am having second thoughts in planning a trip around the world.keep up.the happy sailing you guys and as always stay safe,I'll keep yous in my prayers...
Such a lovely couple, kudos to them.
Wonderful and brave couple, stay safe.
Amazing sailing couple and great story!
Key to life is JOY 😇
lovely couple who have found a way to live gentle and easy, thank you very much good people.
Thank you A Pa, yes, it's a very lovely couple!!!
Great video and the Cape door 25 Was an awesome choice they are built very well
That's the kind of people I want to be like when I finally grow up :-) Thank you for this most excellent upload!
Thank you Jr Sanchez! Yes, they are truly amazing!
Good luck finding a partner who wants to do the same as you, especially when it comes to adventure. My wife loves adventure only on TV. Wont even sail on my tiny day boat across the tiny lake I sail on, on a flat calm day. I know too many people at my sailing club in the same situation.
Amazing how the video quality has improved over time they are quite the inspirational 😊
Great interview with what looks like a very loving couple.
Thank you for the video ! This is how I imagine sailing !
What a great little video. Thank you for having the heart and making the effort to produce it.
A lot easier to listen to the conversation without the background music track. 🙁
Beautiful little video and insights. Thank you.
What an inspirational story !!! I am outfitting my Cape Dory 22 with a Monitor Windvane for Singlehanded sailing adventure . My CD22 is in Ventura West Marina and the Channel Islands its backyard. These people are a great example of a sailing couple that takes care of each other . I am so happy for them !!!
Have fun outfitting yours!
Good luck... we use to have our Catalina 30 in that marina!! Enjoy you up coming trip!

Crossed the Pacific to TEST the boat?. What absolute IDIOTS!
Thank you too!
WOW!!! Their story AMAZED me...
Such a lovely couple and a great adventure with extreme dedication...
I salute them and have a best luck on their cruise...
Love from Turkey to all of you guys... :)
Thank you very much! Absolutely a great adventure! Greetings from Tahiti!
Have a safe cruise...
Awesome, thanks for sharing an inspiration of how to do it on a budget!
These are precisely My sort of people. Fair winds and good sailing, guys.
Loved this couple and their story. Inspiring!
I wish more people were like these two. Love them both.
Thank you! The inspiration was fantastic!!!
So lovely and inspiring!
This has got to be one of my favourite videos I have seen in a long time. What a beautiful couple. They seem to have really figured life out. I would like to see a lot more about them. Thank you for the video.
Thanks :). It is also one of my favorites still :)
Loving life in a small way but also seeing alot of the world in doing so
Absolutely inspiring this is why I began to sail i WOULD BE HONORED TO CALL THEM FAMILY THOSE TWO ARE AMAZING PEOPLE WE NEED MORE TRUE SAILORS LIKE THEM!
Great People.!!!!!! Hope you are well and enjoying life. God Bless You..!!!!
Such a nice couple! Wise and proud. Wish them all the best. Fair winds at the first place. Thanks for the interview, Mark!
Thank you Mr Valentine!
Wonderful video of dear friends David and Pearl. Thank you!
Thank you Melissa!
Really enjoyed this video and watching them row out of the anchorage until they had a good shot to sail on was great.
waow thanks for making this. so many stories like this go untold aye. really beautiful.
Thank you Booooooo!
Keep chasing the smiles I hope they sail for every and the smiles will always be in front of them
Hey Frank, yeah, they are truly awesome and a real inspiration for me!
LOL! Wow! They are the FIRST people I've ever seen paddle a 25' footer. However, getting a small outboard is super cheap! You can go to a boat junkyard and find one and refurbish it. It would STILL be cheap! I wish them the best though. I love to see people living their own version of "the dream"! They also seem to like each other, which is always a good thing!

Very nice couple! God bless them!
Pearl and Dave are an inspiration to all of us!
Yesss!!!
@@HuubVlogs You are great at meeting all kinds of people, Huub! I don't understand how that works into the style of video that you did today. I watched the 4X4 guy that you mentioned and he never spoke, you had to read subtitles. I didn't like it at all and I will not be subscribing to his channel. Maybe you think that you'll also get a million subscribers? I will support you completely because I already know how you really are and how much people love meeting you.
So glad I found your channel. Gives me faith in younger people. Although I'm only 57. I rarely witness youth with such a passion for life unafraid to grab for their dreams. You live a very rich life my friend I'm jealous !
Thank you Quinton! I have an amazing life! I am very aware and grateful for that.
Amazing story and great production work. Love and peace to all the daft sailors of the World.
Thanks Crusty!
if you like this couple, you should check out the wonderful canadian couple Lin & Larry Pardey. they built a few beautiful wooden boats back in day, and sailed a similarly small boat around the world a couple times, same thing, no engine, and all this in the day, no LEDS n cheap solar, no satellite phone, no GPS,no anchor drag alarms, no smart auto pilots and all that....kerosene lamps an ice box, a home made sea anchor..., just amazing..Lin wrote several amazing books filled with stories and practical advice.... "cruising on a shoestring budget" was great, amazing self sufficiency and smart budgeting, and "Cruising on Seraffyn",was a mix of a beautiful travel blog and a great tale of seamanship. highly recommended! fair wind and smooth seas to you all!
Larry pardey
you mean like Tristan Jones
Great video. thank you again
Thank you GGN SNG!
that's what I tell people all the time u don't need a 40 or 30 ft boat and 50k to get across oceans .... but all u get is laughs and the question if u r suicidal .... thx for the video
I love you guys, what a inspiring couple and epic story. I wish you all the best.
Thank you Toletonaldo, yes, they are very inspiring! All the best, Huub
Beautiful story, i admire their passion and simplicity to voyaging.
Beautiful couple!
I think the story is that they stayed happy in such a small space, I it was lovely to see them so.
Engine? What use is that in the middle of the Pacific.
David and Pearl have long inspired us with their amazing adventures and commitment to making the world a better place.
Thank you Joe Page! Absolutely!
Wow...that was really cool. Thank you for telling their story.
You're welcome Craig! Have a great week!
That was really neat.
I hate engines on boats as well!
Nicely done, nicely edited. I'm glad I subscribed to your channel.
Thank you very much Sail Before Sunset! I appreciate it!
Wonderful inspiring couple
Inspiring. Thank you Dave and Pearl. Be.
Wonderful episode Huub. Thank you
They are truly amazing, thanks! All the best! Huub
SIMPLY AWESOME. :) So inspirational on many levels.... Great stuff.
Thanks again David!
Beaucoup de simplicité et d’amour dans ce couple 🙏👍
The doldrums are a normal part of sailing. So are wicked storms. The sailing Goddess obviously granted them fair weather.
I mean you can cross the pacific in a raft, the question is should you
@@tiberiu_nicolae ,
Should people mind their own business and let people live their own lives as they see fit so long as they don't forceably or fraudulently interfere with the lives of others? Of course.
Thank you thank you. This is so great. I especially have wanted to see how it is to row a sail boat for a long time. Being without a motor is so cool, I aspire to get there on day
yes, this couple is awsome! Although I prefer to have an engine hahaha
Awesome and inspiring video Huub :)
Thanks man! Appreciate it!
AWESOME, CONGRATULATIONS. KEEP GOING.
Wow! So inspiring! The spirit of adventure lives on!
They are indeed awesome!
Great story and happy for them
Thank you Alphasxsignal!
Such mellow people! Awesome.
Hello
The couple are amazing, great
WOW!!! No comment but I can tell they are very happy.
Thanks Tibor, I agree!
Wonderful. What's next? Keep going west by southwest? Marquesas are right in the middle of the South Pacific.
Nicely done and so interesting to watch. Well done.
Thank you!
Very nice video thanks
Thank you Ruben! Yes, they are so cute!
We have a 25' Cape Dory for 2 yrs now. Good fun full keel boat but still sailing local around Frenchman Bay. My 2021 goal is to leave the Bay! (Ha)
no wind = more fishing time! :)
Very inspiring. If your heart is in it then you'll do well!
I crewed from Amsterdam through Panama Canal to N.Z. On Pacific crossing we had wind 100% of the 30 days (3,000 mi.). How? By use of a set of weather charts vs attempting a straight line attempt. Atlantic crossing we did without extra charts--we did not know about them at the time.
Wow, what an epic story!
Thank you Jelmer! They are awesome! It's how I want to be when I'm old :)
Wow indeed!!! Very inspirational elderly couple. I wish they had a channel too!!!
I think they have a written blog somewhere on the internet :)
WOW!!! What a great story....
Thanks Randy!
LOVE this!!
What a great inspirational video. Love,freedom , nature . and oars, no enginesound :)! 😍
Really cool!
Thank you Aaron R!
What a great story they have to share with us! Super good video and interview. But why that music in the background! Really annoying when it's an interview you're doing!
Thanks for your comment Kenneth! All the best, Huub
Great to see. Going the modest way
This is sailing. :-) look up Roger Taylor and Mingming II for more like this.
Great video and interview! Great couple and very inspirational. I want to learn to sail and buy a boat; this really helps.
I made a video called Learn How To Sail in 20 min. You might like that one too.
Fantastic !!!!
Ein schönes Paar. Und eine gute Geschichte. Danke für den Film. A beautiful couple and a nice Story. Tanx for the movi! Regads from Bavaria..German
Thank you! Yes they are :)
