I'm not a fan of glass in the water. But what's done is done. You could silence your critics on this by showing in future videos how you are doing environmentally friendly stuff. Keep doing what makes you happy!
Abandon Comfort shut up
lone wolf Perhaps lone wolf doesn't ike self reflection.
Glass in the water? big deal. Glass on the dock? that's a bigger deal, yet easier to clean up. Glass on the beach or in water where people may walk... well that could be a deal ... diesel fuel in the water, that would be worse. stuff happens... the ceremony was fun/nice.
Lone Wolf is an odd fellow. He is reading this site, probably watching the video and complaining about what he is reading .... doh!
AC ~ Guys, do yourself a favor and speak to the 80%. There are 10% on either end that you cannot please no matter what you do.
BTW- glass is about 80% sand. Just give it time :)
DAM FLA Honestly our response shouldn't be taken as us being mad or a rebuttal. We are disappointed we let glass into the water and happy people called us out for it. And we're not just saying that - We mean it. What makes us disappointed is when people point fingers when their hands are far dirtier than ours. We spent a week protesting the DAPL to find other "water protectors" there who were driving gas guzzling trucks that pollute the environment. People don't really care about their impact on the environment. They'll come up with some excuse saying they can't afford a hybrid or electric or can't bike to work or they can't be vegan because they need animal protein in their diet. That's bullshit. If you live in the US you're in the top 10% of wealth in the world regardless of social class. No one wants to do a little introspection and see they are polluting just as bad as those they berate. It's disappointing to us and we want to be a small part of people becoming more aware of their environmental impact. -Ryan
Hi kids~ Filled with emotion as I watched a young couple make such a impact on many of us who wished we'd done the same. I visioned myself as a young Ryan asking why I didn't do this or something like this earlier in life So, for that, I thank you! You have brought many questions to the forefront of this gray matter. And then you cap it off with your friend who survived cancer and is living life large! You couldn't have done a more perfect video! BRAVO! Ü
onthebeaches1 Thanks for sharing this with us. It's never too late to set out and give your dreams a go. Appreciate the kind words and you following along. Making an impact is all we care about and if we help even one or two people take the leap to living this lifestyle, it makes these videos all worth it. 🙂
I like that you followed tradition with a renaming ceremony to appease King Neptune. Coming from a Sailor and a member of the Shellback community thank you for sticking with tradition and doing things properly. I enjoy watching your videos and look forward to the many adventures you guys have. May the Gods keep you safe, your bellies full and your sails fuller. Fair winds and following seas. On a side note when you do start sailing I recommend using The Marine Weather Center for your weather updates for the waters around the Caribbean.
They do have special bottle bags for the christening so that the glass doesn't go all over the dock and harbor :)
Nope, they're stupid and they don't give a shit. Unless you send them free shit or money, then they can fake it on camera.
Lots of fun and nice respect for the sea and wind gods. Fair winds to where ever you may sail.
Loved your christening ceremony. Simply awesome and very fitting.
Appreciate it, Michael. Stoked to have you along for the journey!
Abandon Comfort , what year is your HR? I've been looking (online) at a couple from '72 and '78. I keep telling myself the age doesn't matter so long as it has been properly maintained but .... always a lingering doubt.
Awesome! I look forward to your adventures!
Thanks for stopping by, Bill! Happy to have you along for the ride.
Almost word for word on my christening ceremony. Best of luck to both of you.
Caught up with these videos - wow 20k subscribers and only 8 vids, pretty impressive! Two things - thanks for the incidental nostalgia as the Hunter berthed opposite your boat is a model I owned until Super Storm Sandy ate it. Second, on your passage adventure through the lake - more nostalgia as I experienced something very very similar when I hoisted sail for the first time, and learned the 1st rule of sailing: More wind, less sail; less wind, more sail. Thanks, and best of luck to you.
Came for the sailing, stayed for the music: Techo and Seal. Excellent! Congrats on her christening. Fair winds.
Good stuff you guys. Refreshingly real and good editing! Good luck and see you out there.
Nick O'Kelly appreciate it 🙂 thanks for commenting and watching!!
Congrats! Can't wait to see you start sailing!
Aside from cleaning red wine on the deck and solar vent and the broken glass on the dock...that looked like fun.
Looked like a fun party!
Congratulations! Watching your video makes me so excited for the day I can eventually launch my wreck of a boat after an extensive refit, I can't wait but still have much to do. I look forward to seeing your adventures, ups and downs.
As for the bottle, don't sweat it, you were excited and having fun, the world won't stop spinning. There's a lot worse than a little glass in our oceans. All yachties no matter how careful are guilty of some pollution. Burning and spilling (accidents happen) diesel, oil, gas, grease. All the paints, varnishes and copper coats we use. Flushing raw sewerage, soaps and detergents into the sea. Losing various bits and pieces, fenders, rope, usually plastics. Not to mention the boats themselves that last forever, how many abandoned yachts litter our coastlines? We can ALL be more careful.
Keep enjoying yourselves. :-)
P.S Britannia still rules the waves!
Just found you guys today. Thanks a lot for all you're showing. 50 yr old guy living vicariously through you! Love it! And I guess the fact that y'all are not exactly ugly kids helps. Ha!
James Rachal Thanks for watching!! Hope we help you move forward with your own dreams and adventure plans 🙂
so good , love the new name , thanks
Good luck guys. You're in for a hell of a life . keep us informed.
We wouldn't want to have it any other way! Thanks for following along!!
"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all."
Awesome guys well done .Respect. Seal rocks.
Great Job Have fun and be safe
USA! :) Awesome tribute
Wow this episode was A LOT of fun! I found myself dying laughing at Kelsey attempting to break the bottle LOL
Looks like that was a lot of fun!
You guys would've been there had we known you back then! Maybe you would've been the voice of reason with feeding Neptune glass...
Great respect to Sea tradition and the Admiralty Flag 😊 Nelson would be proud , bless this ship and all who sail on her ! cheers 😁😁
:) Thanks for the kind words & support!!!

Lotophagi thanks for correction :)
A Florida marina in July is hot, is your portable A/C unit giving you the cooling you need? With fans in the cabin , you maybe able to get just below 80. My guess it runs 24/7 in July.
You're damn right it runs 24/7! Haha it surprisingly keeps us plenty cold at night. I think we see 77 some nights but on average probably 80 at night inside the aft cabin. We have 3 fans, two really small ones and the other is the size of a basketball. Gets the job done! We'll be anchoring for majority of our cruising life.
I see many sailboats, at the marina, have a large tarp (20ft or so) tented over the boat top cabin area. I suppose this would reduce direct sun from heating up the inside. Wonder how much it helps?
If it's this good now imagine when they are on the water! Awesome vid style
Thanks for the support! We can't wait to get on the water and producing!!
Good on your rename. Now, next time you christen a vessel wrap the bottle in a burlap bag, nor glass on the vessel, dock, or water. Get your gear on, retrieve the sharp glass from the mooring pier bottom. Might just cut someone badly. Good sailing.

LMAO criticism for the broken glass at the bottom of the harbor?! Three cheers for having nothing better to worry about!!:-D
Well done...
North, East, West, South??? LOL That should make for interesting navigating.
heya AC! i was hoping to ask you guys to share how you're financing this. The lady and i are full steam ahead with our 26 foot sail boat (to start!) with goals to splash down in spring next year after a refit, and in less than a decade tackling full time live aboard cruising around the world. The problem is neither of us is sure how we're going to afford it. We know about the wildly different ways others are cashing in but i'm extremely curious what your plans are.
Also, thank you. Your series is by far her favorite and you've helped me eliminate a fair amount of her anxiety about the lifestyle... she wants to travel the world but this method i think has her stuck like an anchor on a coral rock. Not impossible to fix and make right but definitely stubborn!
Awesome to hear about the adventure plans!! We are financing this by -
1. Paying off all of our debt before beginning this adventure.
2. Being frugal. Our total monthly expenses are around $1500 on the high end.
Can't emphasize both of these enough. There's no shortcuts or get rich quick scheme here. Get rid of debt and learn what spending makes you happy and what spending is purely convenience & comfort. Hope this helps!!
Abandon Comfort will you be maintinaing work while sailing then or is the 1500 part of a kitty that you're sailing from.
Good question :) We'll be producing weekly episodes once we're doing this full-time (which will be next month) and we'll make around $1,000 a month from Patreon net fees. On top of that we make roughly $250 a month via ads on the episodes. And we'll have roughly 10k saved before leaving for emergencies. Our boat will be virtually brand new after the refit so we don't foresee any huge problems with the boat. Let me know if I can help with any other $ details - Ryan
Abandon Comfort that brings up another question she had... your Instagram is very busy... is that how you got your followship so quickly. I've seen other patreon pages with almost no followship but great content. I'm personally letting a high risk investment that is returning well right now mature for a few years to serve both as a down payment and liveable kitty... if I could have a patreon page myself that performed like that I could weather most any storm while not sacrificing quality of life. lastly she did express a great deal of interest in meeting you guys and seeing your boat and I was curious if such arrangements could be made when you're settling in so to speak.
So, a wad of broken glass on the bottom of that slip until the end of time. Nice job.
Congratulations. Great name.
Jai alai is good beer.
We sold our last power boat, named Dawntreader 2, to a guy named Edmund. He renamed it.
Hi wannabee sailors. Sincerely hope you will have fair winds and following seas and become the sailors you want to be. Probably not the best thing to throw stuff in the water and post it on youtube and defintely not something I want to support. Looking foward to seeing positive videos and you as ambassadors of the sailing community.All the best from Holland !
OMG you just did WHAT in Honor and Respect ? and u were doing soooo good ... put the bottle in a sheet or 2 b4 breakingglass PLEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
BOOOOOONNNNNGGGG.... lol I thought it was breaking 1st try for sure with that swing. I'm also shocked the guy in the background didn't bitch, because you used a regular bottle instead of a christening champagne bottle that comes wrapped in a net to contain the glass from going in the water. But maybe I'm just docked in the wrong place haha
I think you are meant to write the old name of the boat on something and throw it in the water, so it can slowly erase the old name from King Neptune's archives. Only then, a different boat can use that name again. At least, that's what we did on our boat. I really liked the video, thank you!
I wanna know more about Lucie!
Luci's home! What questions do you have for us :)
Everything!:)
What's the solar panel for?
I noticed that sailing la vagabond has subbed to your channel (one of the most popular sailing channels on youtube), congrats!!!
Hey ya ninja! How'd you find this out!?!
And we're stoked SLV is on board watching!
two of my favorite sailing channels on youtube, keep the videos coming
if you go on to their homepage and click channels and look at subscriptions you will see abandon comfort
Learn something new everyday! Thanks for the kind words - we're honored Riley & Elayna are watching. Let's hope Alfred is too :)
Love you guys great job!!
Regis?. How are you?
Was that Joe from Family guy screaming off the camera at 1:50?
So spot on
Seal good choice
UTERIS!!!! so funny. I wish you guys the best and yes you inspire me too. Your friend saying (never let go) was great. I know the ocean will get crowded with people like you, because of your channel. I hope I can join this fleet of dreamers on my sailboat someday. To the people who comment with negative crap. ( GET OVER YOURSELF AND GET A LIFE)
2:13 That is how you can loose an eye :-)
Dyson?
OK, strike 2. WTF with the glass!!
LOL the thirteen colonies ... You know you would rather be British ... hehe
Hopefully you are not going around the world unarmed. Make sure you are both well trained and able to defend yourselves. Once outside of the shores of the Americas you Will be international travelers to loose your boat and belongings you would be able to replace but your life is your precious asset protect it and defend it. Plus your new furry companion will grow to be an old sea dog once he gets his sea legs.
Semanye?
May god deliver your justice.
Man! I gave this video a thumb up in anticipation for a great show. I regretted. Thank God for fast forward.
Yoda?
Von brau
I liked Rebel Star better. Guess y'all aren't Star Wars fans. Could have been some awesome sails in the future...
Bubbler?
Alex nike
I mean rugby?
Also? Are you ready for dum soccer?
7:38 I didn't like that.
Big deal on the glass. Look around and see the enviro impact of all the infrastructure. Glass is nothing. You guys rock and dab the haters. :)
bottle not broken at first try = bad luck
Everyone needs to shut up about the glass! As soon as I saw that I knew the idiots would be squawking. They probably gave a hermit crab a new home. Get over yourselves
So your excuse for littering is that other people do it.........and you justify it by being vegan and driving a Prius......off to a good start there.
Last time I was this early, Hillary was way ahead in the polls.
Satanic ritual... Gross who drinks from the same bottle
so good , love the new name , thanks
Thank you, VIO!!!
You can tell there are a few military guys on the boat with the "Make a hole!" repeated down the line lol.
thank you for sharing! you are still free to do & say whatever you want USA!! you two prove hard work & sacrifice still make the dream come true Congratulations! .......GRUNT
Hey Grunt! Thanks again for watching :) We can't wait to be making movies full-time. Cheers!

"Don't belittle the Gods....what are you doing"? Lol. 😂🤣
Good episode guys! All the best for what lies ahead. Now they say its a curse to change the name of a vessel ... To break the curse you must have a virgin pee the bilge. Cheers.
Got any virgins we could borrow!?
Yeah, you should definitely watch out for Neptune -- and The Kraken too.
Happy Sailing Abandon Comfort. I'm glad I found your channel early so I can follow along with your adventure from the start. With your happy outlook and down to earth style, I can foresee great things ahead.
"May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face. And may the wings of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars." - George Jung -
yay lets just dump a ton of glass in the water ....
The slow mo replay was the best! 👍
funny, yet the audio was oddly loud. Great episode, though!
Thanks for letting us know about the audio! Appreciate you commenting and following along :)
Your "slo-mo" was great...congrats and may the Almighty God of everything be with you always! What's the new name????
fun and friends their is no power greater than the good will and wishes you had that day and the gods will smile upon your fun now and in the future.
We can only hope!! Thanks for watching :)
Probably a couple dozen of the views on this was from me rewatching it :). Love you guys!
First! Great video!
As always, thanks for watching!!
had to fast forward
Flatcap007 mind telling us where you fast forwarded? We're still new to this whole videography thing and want to make sure we're improving 🙂
Yeah, 4 min of more tightly edited scenes would've been fine. It's hard to make a party interesting for people who can't join in, as much as we are cheering you on!
I actually ended wanting more, so take all of our advice with a grain of salt. Just do what you want to do.
now pick up the glass you grubs.
We did. If you listened we said now we have to clean it up :)
i actually watched you throw a broken bottle neck in the drink. but that's good you intend to clean it up. personally i wouldn't want to dive in a marina.
OK, i watched it 3 times and looked like he did what i mentioned plus i didnt know he was a brit. You look like lovely ppl and was shocked but if you say he kissed then i am so so deeply apologetic and i have deleted the post. SO SORRY. If you wish me to post a public apology just let me know. No hard feelings. Good luck with your future adventures on the boat.
Great series, watched them all today lol, cheers and congrats! Subbed!
Florida Outdoor Adventures Thanks for commenting and watching!! Stoked to have you along for our journey 😎
I feel like Neptune will accept that it was a Hell of a swing with that bottle and recognize your efforts - effectively suppressing the seven years. At least I would if I were him.
What a great day for you two! You have planned and worked a bunch of hours to refit that neat vessel and get it ready for blue-water sailing....and you have done a great job doing it.
Nicely done.
Ok - Nice Boat! Best wishes for smooth sailing! The view at 07 seconds is awesome!
FYI --- As a tradition, many yachts fly the "Ensign" flag, rather than the "Stars and Stripes"..."A modification of the national flag and ensign but with a fouled anchor in a circle of thirteen stars in the canton, was created by Act of Congress in August 1848 as a flag to be used by licensed U.S. yachts." Anyway, you had lots of friends over, so have fun on 'Lucidity' and sail safe...
I heard you spent months trying to figure out how to spell the new name of your ⛵ boat 😏
Glad you did a proper renaming ceremony...from experience, I will NEVER rename a boat again without performing this ceremony. EVERY person that I have ever met that did not do this? DISASTER...myself included. :(
Congratulations ! !
All the best to you all ways and always
Your doing great but party was cheesy IMHO, watch Sailing Uma and Ran Sailing very well done Vlogs. Uma has done loads of work rebuilding really well filmed. Check it out if you haven't already cheers
You need more bearded friends. Was kind of shocked to see her just throw the broken glass into the water. Seems a bit disrespectful.
Hi guys just started watching your videos got to part 8 and you are taking down the old flag which is where I am from UK and you give it to the stupid fella behind who kindly spits on it great way to show friendship with our two countries so strongly tied together over the many years all the bad times all the lives lost over the years and this ass hole does this on camera sorry but its just not on would expect to see some kind of apology online in your next video hopefully from the guy how did it tell him to act his age not his shoe size... S C United Kingdom.
Late comer here:
In the movie industry they make bottles based on sugar. Harmless when they are smashed on somebody's head (think: actors in a bar fight). If its dropped in the sea, that bottle (sugar) are eaten by bacterias in no time.
Can I ask what faith you are ? Also why not make the ceremony from your Faith to christen the boat ,instead of from mythology of the Greek Gods ? Do you believe in the Greek Gods ??
Loving the boat jokes! Haha, I fear when we christen Redemption the bottle won't break! Cheers yall!
Sail Redemption thanks guys! Stoked for you guys to christen her after all the work you've done!
Is there a Greek guy in the boat? Says "opa" , and that's a Greek word.
Wish Poseidon watch out for you guys and as we say here from Greece , CALM SEAS!
