He lives the dream of many, many people. Bro, you understood life. You've understood life in a way that many of us wouldn't even dream of. You are a unique inspiration. Thank you for kindling the fire in many of us
Dude, the part of you leaving LaPaz brought me to tears. That evening was memorable. I remember watching you pull anchor and raise sail. I remember having high hopes for you, and confidence you would make it too. And here you are, stretching your own limits. That’s what our voyaging does for us Luke. See you out there on the seas one day.
I just loved this first episode of yours. I sailed engineless for a couple of years as well and OMG the patience you need! The ups are higher and the downs are lower, but you end up feeling so in tune with nature, every breath of wind every bit of current. It totally made me a better sailor. I love your storytelling and your philosophical approach to life, I’m looking forward to following your story..
Here from LVB. You got me reeled in when hearing a little of The Tao of Sailing! Can’t wait to see how your sailing story unfolds…wishing you many blessings! 💙
The engine always breaks when you need it most, As with anything you've only got one of. Best sailor I knew never used an engine, and navigated by the stars, birds, and was often declared "Lost at sea" by the landlubbers. He would say the oppisite, and its when he was at sea he truly found himself.
You're gonna be on 2 million followers in no time just like sailing la vagabonde ❤🎉😊 Can't wait to watch your adventures and whatever lies ahead! So stoked!!!!
"...between all the opposites of made up mind..." so cool!! Really excited to have you finally putting out longer form content on here brother!! Thank you!!
So excited to see you on youtube! My two year old son just watched this with me and loved watching your boat on the water and said WOW when you cranked your dinghy up. 😂
I’ve been following your IG since the beginning of the summer. I’m so excited so see some different looks from this part of the journey/ passage. Stay safe. You are a treasure!
Well, I actually came across your channel through sailing la vagabond they mentioned you, it will be nice to follow your sailing channel and adventures
Great first video - looking forward to more instalments. I'd seriously recommend getting your engine fixed though. That's really not safe - especially on coastal passages if you encounter unfavourable winds and currents.
All aboard and looking forward to the next one! Wishing you all the best from Stanleys Travels! mostly land based at this point but looking towards the sea in the future!
A determined skipper, does not make one a sailor. The sea and winds will train you. Listen, watch mindfully, follow closely, and learn well. Awareness, humbleness, and immediate action upon an observation of something incorrect, will keep you safe. Fair winds!
Hello from land locked Utah! Thanks for sharing your fun life with us! I learned of you from Elaina ( vagabond), so glad to find you! So cool that you fish!!! So many boat TH-camrs don’t, or at least don’t show it.
It has been a life-long dream to sail the Pacific and French Polynesia .. one day I will. Enjoy the ride of your life .. I will be watching here (and on Instagram).
I LOVE THIS... I miss sailing, - ME TOO... Super cool! and makes me want to go buy a boat...... Thanks for sharing your journey ill be watching from the PNW!!!
Thanks Luke looking forward to your next vid, has special interest to me as I am the owner of a 76 Vancouver 27 in Brisbane you would know by now they are very capable pocket cruisers.
Hey Luke! I’m a huge fan of what your doing and the journey your on, so cool! I’m actually going to be moving to Asia in February, to explore and put my self in a completely new surrounding and I’m planning to video the whole thing like your doing. I have a question for you, where do you get your music for your videos from? I love how it makes the final product so much more powerful. If you see this please let me know, I really love everything about your videos:) wish you the best of luck on your journey!
I spent many hundreds of hours online watching other sailors and studying the questions that came up around the technicalities of sailing. Then I had three weeks of sailing under my belt before I left for this circumnavigation and I learned on the way.
hello from Port of Everett marina pnw, cool idea lashing the dinghy to the hip to use the outboard but it kinda invalidates the title 🤣 beware of starlink though, just the reliability of it long term without price gouges
I struggled with the title so much because of this but since I only got about 2 miles of distance out of the dinghy tied to the hip, I am still claiming the no engine thing. 2 out of 3000 miles does not a powered passage make lol
I've been filming for TH-cam for about 5 months to gather the footage for this channel. It's been a LONG time coming. I'm so excited to be able to start sharing this footage!
Ahhhh can’t wait to see the rest!!! ⛵️🥳so happy you’re here on the Tube.
It's good to finally be here! Thanks for paving the way in bringing the cruising life to the masses 😁
Hey Oloina😉and Riley, super nice to see you guys to give Luke a little support 👍😎
He lives the dream of many, many people. Bro, you understood life. You've understood life in a way that many of us wouldn't even dream of. You are a unique inspiration. Thank you for kindling the fire in many of us
So kind 🥹 I'm just grateful to have the opportunity to share my journey and to have everyone along for the ride

Songbird is my spirit animal, keep on cruising baby!

I can totally relate! Not having an engine on this passage turned out to be a HUGE blessing!
Nice to see you here!! Can't wait for the next one❤

Thank you Dr. Nance. It means the world coming from you 😭

Now I know what Ned Flanders was up to before he got the gig on the Simpsons. Bon voyage buddy diddly diddly doo.
Great first video - looking forward to more instalments. I'd seriously recommend getting your engine fixed though. That's really not safe - especially on coastal passages if you encounter unfavourable winds and currents.
I'll be sailing the whole Pacific with no engine and then I'll repower and buy a new engine after the season is over and I haul out in New Zealand.
Great. Would like to have more of you playing or singing, but it was nice start anyway. Keep it up!
Great adventure, love your conversation and commentary, cousin😊
YAY you are finally on youtube. been seeing your vids on instagram for a while now. cant wait to see the rest..
Amazing to see what you did, and what you are doing!

All aboard and looking forward to the next one! Wishing you all the best from Stanleys Travels! mostly land based at this point but looking towards the sea in the future!

Hi from SLV! 🎉 Excited for another sailing channel to watch 😊
A determined skipper, does not make one a sailor.
The sea and winds will train you. Listen, watch mindfully, follow closely, and learn well.
Awareness, humbleness, and immediate action upon an observation of something incorrect, will keep you safe.
Fair winds!
Luke has been SO resourceful so far! If you haven’t seen all the IG posts, go back and watch while you wait for more TH-cams!
YESSS!! We follow you on TikTok. So glad you finally got your YT going!! I can't wait to see more! ❤
Hello from land locked Utah! Thanks for sharing your fun life with us! I learned of you from Elaina ( vagabond), so glad to find you! So cool that you fish!!! So many boat TH-camrs don’t, or at least don’t show it.
Sick start man! Will definitely be following along. May you have fair winds and following seas
It has been a life-long dream to sail the Pacific and French Polynesia .. one day I will. Enjoy the ride of your life .. I will be watching here (and on Instagram).

Here because of la vagabond...let's gooo
Here from la vagabonde, pushing the algorithm with a comment. :D
Sent here by one of the biggest sailing channels. (Greg from Chicagoland )
If I were you, I'd stay out at sea as long as possible. Things are about to crack off.
Wow, awesome trip. Cant wait for the next videos.
And there's something that's itching me: how do you teach yourself to sail? I would love to do it
I spent many hundreds of hours online watching other sailors and studying the questions that came up around the technicalities of sailing. Then I had three weeks of sailing under my belt before I left for this circumnavigation and I learned on the way.
Ahoy!

letsss gooooooo
recommended by vagabonds, so subscribed & ready for adventure!
Happen to run into Jesse "the body" down in the Baja?? 🤙⛵
Hey Luke, which resources did you use to teach yourself to sail online during the pandemic?
TH-cam primarily, I also read the ASA101 textbook
Luke I feel like going on adventure with you everytime I see something from you..
Do you sail alone or have any crew?
Are there many wild chickens out there?
Dude gets one shoutout from SLV and creates a TH-cam channel and Patreon… But man, I’m a sucker for that stache
I've been filming for TH-cam for about 5 months to gather the footage for this channel. It's been a LONG time coming. I'm so excited to be able to start sharing this footage!
@@Sailing_Songbirdwife and I have been looking for a new channel so excited to see! Long live the stache!
I thought u had a TH-cam channel already? Or was I just watching all kinda IG reels ?
This is my first long form video! All of my other videos have only been a max of 3 minutes.
Bro is playing ONE PIECE IRL
