Okay, Dane, Lou and David. I've gotta tell you: This video was on the next level; the motion graphics, the sound and the editing were so smooth. I really dig the kind of story telling used in this videos. Follow you since your Berlin videos and I am so proud of all the things you achieved! Wish you all the best in that next chapter of life!
I've been following you for a few years now and you are honestly one of my biggest inspirations. I've always been a creative person but have struggled with making a living out of it, and when I found your videos I realised I was over complicating it and that I could find happiness in the simple things and by living a more simple life. I've been saving up for a van for a year now and its nearly within my reach, I hope to do up my van myself and travel just as you have. I couldn't afford to buy your eBook back when it was first released but I can now, and so I have just bought it and cant wait to read it. Keep doing what you're doing, as you are an inspiration to many. Much Love x
2 days are the happiest in a boat owner's life. The day they bought a boat and the day they sold it. The days in between are filled with work, anxiety (does the material hold? do I get another mooring? does the anchor hold here? etc) and waiting for good weather. The days on which the boat gives unlimited pleasure are rather thinly sown. I hope with you it is different and your happy days on board are their many. You are optimistic and life-affirming enough. In this sense, good luck and fun with your HR, she is made for it... and so are you!
I can't believe this! I grew up living on a 50ft Hallberg Rassy, since moving back on land for High School I've been watching you videos. I was so emotional when I saw this video, I'm so happy for you guys! Living on a sailboat is the best thing that ever happened to me, you guys are going to have a blast!
I agree, I grew up on a CT 41 then a 38 Brown Tri in the pacific. So thankful for my childhood. My parents moved me to land for high school as well. Oh the wanderlust....
Dana and Lou - I‘m not one to get emotionally attached to TH-camrs - but you two truly are special. I‘ve been following you for a while (for your immensely creative and beautiful videos) and you almost feel like friends. I really really wish you the best and news like the buying of your boat are making me very happy. If I could, I would have bought your book 5 times 🌞
I legit cried watching your excitement. I'm so happy for you and I don't even know you. What a beautiful compilation of moments that will be with you for the rest of your life. Happy travels.
I know this is an old video, but you should have expanded your search all across the US, at least, or the east coast of the US & Canada. To just look at US boats ONLY on the east coast REALLY limits your options! This is the first video of yours that TH-cam suggested to me and I'm sure you eventually found a boat, but to others looking, you have to expand yourself to find the best boats & deals. Also, you should always look into things after a survey because sometimes water leaks are so incredibly easy to fix, but the description makes things sound far more ominous than it is. Also, repairing leaks helps you learn for when you actually start sailing because you ARE going to have things you need to fix on your boat and you ARE going to need to know how if you're going to do bluewater sailing. I'm subscribing!
This is beyond beautiful. If anyone deserves something so big to happen in their lives, it's you two. For what I've seen, you are so dedicated and we can see that from miles. Sending you my best from Mexico City and so excited for your new adventure!
I stumbled onto your videos a few months ago; watching the van life. Your outlook on life is all inspiring. I was enjoying the adventure through your eyes. My wife and I are working on purchasing a boat next year. When I saw this video it was a must watch. The approach to your search and buying was great to see play out. The creativity you put into your videos makes it so very enjoyable to watch. May you have fair winds and following seas in your adventures.
I didn’t expect to want to sit and watch the whole video without distraction (rare these days) but this video kept pulling me in. It was such a well told story with amazing audio and visuals. I also really appreciated the transparency of exact numbers from the book purchases that led to the boat purchase. It makes seeing crazy dreams like that so much more real and attainable!
I am new here, I've only been binge watching for the last week or two and I must say these videos of yours have been such a beautiful, peaceful, and happy place to land on during Covid-19 and being a caretaker for my mom. I Love living in the van vicariously through you guys and love your energy and zest for life. I hope I can grow up and be just like you two. Happy Boat life! can't wait to *sea* where you'll go from here!
I have to commend you all, the editing and filming is life. I legit feel like I'm watching a documentary instead of a "Vlog". It brings me happiness when I watch. Y'all need more subscribers!
I just watched you buy the boat. This is the first episode of Wild We Roam I've watched an I plan on keeping up with your adventures. Good luck with the boat.
Dana and Lou, thank you for your inspirational videos! I have been following you for a couple months and have enjoyed watching many of your videos from years back. Thank you for letting us into your lives! For many of us, the adventures you are living are wishful dreams, but we get to experience them through you. Please keep the videos coming and keep the genuine smiles on your faces! Best of luck with the boat and THANK YOU!
Dana & Lou, I am so so excited for you both! I remember hearing when you were saying bye to Ody and moving onto the next dream, and it makes my heart so happy to see that you have gotten so much closer to that dream! I can't put into words how much y'all inspire me. So happy for you and looking forward to virtually adventuring with you three more and more :)
I don’t usually watch these types of videos all the way through...but I loved it! You definitely know how to tell a story and the technical aspect is top notch. You have a new follower and I hope I can learn from you. Thanks for the inspiration and authenticity.
Right after watching this video I purchased your bundle, I am so excited to start reading your book! You two are a big inspiration for me, I’ve always wanted to travel around in a van and write a book, I wasn’t to keen to until this video. I can definitely say this gave me the confidence and motivation to, so Thankyou.
Loved this video DANA! Just coming to your channel (late) yet enjoying perusing the great content forward and back. Bookmarked your home page, subscribed to your channel on TH-cam and bought the Bundle! Congratulations on following your dream in both courageous and loving ways! So thrilled to continue our relationship with support. Xxo
Congrats on a great buy. I grew up a few miles from the Hallberg Rassy plant on the swedish west coast. Cool seeing these boats being used all over the world!
Hi both , i'm so glad your E-book is such a success < if anyone deserves great rewards for your hard work , it is you two . i am so looking forward to your sailing journey, cheers !,Chris UK .
This is superb video. I love the way the brains meet the practicallity. Go girl It was very informative. Thank you. You saved a ton of reserch and investigating. I hope you continue
Watched a few of your videos. You guys are soo amazing. Such an inspiration to me and my partner. Thank you for all the work you've put in to share your lives!!!
So looking forward to you taking us along on this new journey. Am planning a big life change myself (@ 63 yrs young) and glad to be on board for a fresh dose of Dana&Lou inspiration! Congrats on your boat!
Just subscribed. Loved the vibe in this video ... congratulations on exceptional videography. Welcome to boating. I’ve been afloat for decades ... and know the truth: “the two happiest days of boat owning - the day you buy and the day you sell”. Hasn’t put me off - hope it won’t deter you either! You’ll ‘enjoy’ the frustrations, but your online community will probably include experts in most of the issues you’ll encounter. Happy sailing ....
Congratulations! What an exciting time in your lives. I love how you showed the process of writing and selling your book as the back story. We see a lot about searching for boats, but not a lot about self producing one’s income-except for making videos. Looking forward to your adventures and what’s to come.
I so enjoyed this. You are an inspiration and I am excited to share your next steps with you. I was inspired watching your van life but thought I’d never be able to do it myself. I’m not a great driver and know nothing about engines, but I’m thinking that’s a bit pathetic and I’m going to start by hiring one to see how I get on! Also thanks for giving me the chance to support your causes and get your e book. I’m in the UK and have been wanted to find the right cause to support after the terrible recent event.
I just discovered you guys and discovered the world of sailing just last July ! I’m so hooked I’m making a career change from horticulture to maritime. My dream is to one day live on a boat too! So excited to watch and learn from your journey!
I think it is great that you are sharing transparently how much money you made with the ebook and how much the boat was. This makes following your yourney even better
I am in a similar situation like you. Starting something new. The first video went up on my birthday yesterday. It wasn’t anything very big but a lot of hard work went into whatever I created. The way you felt in the video is the same way I felt it it’s I hit 100 views in 24 hours. This video was the closest to my heart of all the videos you have created so far. I hope I get the share a similar excitement that you share with Lou very soon. This was a great video. Loved it
Congratulations!!! It feels like yesterday when we bought our boat! ⛵️ It’s a great lifestyle and community out here. Sometimes it can be really tough but your doing it all for a life of adventure and the high moments! ⚓️
Wow I got chill bumps as I watched this video. The animation really highlighted how hard it is to find the right boat. Looking back Feb seems so long ago but I so remember the emotion rollercoaster you guys were on. You are master storytellers. Best video to date. Loved the animations❤️
Oh my god - we just bought a Rasmus 35 this thursday, its Build 378, so a bit older than yours. We almost sailed it home this weekend, but missed 18 nautic miles out of 150 due to weather conditions. Will get her home sunday👍 Good luck with yours!
I wish we will become as amazing at storytelling at you two. Boat life is wonderful. We live on a canal boat in the UK and maybe one day try sailing. Can’t wait to watch your sailing adventure. Lots of love! Xxx
Yay! So excited and happy for you two!! You deserve all the success you've had with your ebook and it's so neat to see the behind-the-scenes of this journey coming to fruition for you guys.
Dana and Lou, thank you for letting us be a part of your life. I've been following you since you lived in Berlin and it's been a wild time with you two. ♥️ Just bought your E-Book!
I just found your channel because you wished Tulu a Happy birthday, and I'm so glad I did. I think I'm going to watch these newer videos and then go back and watch from the beginning. Congrats on your new boat, and on your awesome ebook sales!
Came across this vid very much by chance. Seems we're all on our own little journeys and watching this episode of yours, has given me that little bit more inspiration to continue on my own vlogging journey. Thank you from Johannesburg, South Africa. Keep on Living a Life Less Ordinary
More than you siblings, I am excited and happy for your purchase. All the best for your learning and God bless your sails. And I am pretty sure that when you reach Indian sure while you circumnavigate, I shall meet you. Lots of love from India.
Love you both Dana and Lou....so good to see you back. I thought when you sold Ody that was the end and I loved your videos. Now a new adventure begins... super doper.
Dana, Lou and David this is amazing. Dana, I cried right along with you as you processed the success of your ebook. Congratulations! I have watched your videos for so long and can't wait to see what will come in the future. Come sail to Ireland and explore our coastline - and drop us a line when you do!
I just read through the description as I don't have time to watch your video at the moment, but just wanted to say that you certainly chose an absolutely great manufacturer and model of boat! Your boat would have been built by dedicated craftspeople and left their yard 100% perfect, and it's very likely that owners of such a boat would treat her well. I'm really looking forward to watching your video!
So excited for this next step in your journey! I've loved following along with you two in van life, and I've just started getting into boat life videos, so I'm excited to follow along with some of my favourite youtubers doing boat life!!!
i got that patron exclusive boat tour but can’t wait for everyone to see it. also can’t wait to see what y’all do with it to make it your own because i know you will this video made me emotional for some reason i’ve been watching you guys for so so long now and part of me feels like i’m on the journey with you. I’m just excited for what the future holds much love ❤️
I’m so excited for you !!! I’ve always had an adventurous spirit but have never been brave enough to do anything like this lol. Thanks for letting me come along and live through you !
Ditto-and what’s stopping me is an autoimmune disease that has rendered me unable to function and walk on the daily. But I’m thankful to be able to live vicariously through them 💕
I have watched mountains of sailing videos. In terms of production techniques, I NEVER seen a video of this standard and class before. Thank you - truly awesome!
I'm only about 2/3rds through this video and I don't want it to end! Something about your video style is different. I've always enjoyed your videos for the style and of course content. But this is a new level of WOW! I'm super excited to follow you all on this new journey!
I want nothing more but for you two to succeed and life such a happy life, you guys deserve it! I’m such a fan of your life and lifestyle, thank you for sharing with us.
CONGRATULATIONS with a BEAUTIFUL quality build boat! The video was outstanding, your adventure seems epic. I am new to the channel, but I subscribed right away. Can't wait to see more. I bought myself a sailboat as well, last year and moved aboard with the same plans as you have. My boat is built on the same famous island in Sweden where your is built, Orust Island. I got a Sweden Yachts C34 from 1980, also loved and well kept, so I know the feeling. Fair winds!
I am soooo excited for upcoming videos. This video is maybe your best yet. Its sooo sooo good. THANK YOU for all the work you’ve done and do. So so excited!
Congrats guys to getting a great boat! I just stumbled on your channel when I saw Swedish Boat and wanted to see what you were up to... really great story, and my Swedish brothers will have smiles on their faces..the Hallberg-Rassy name has long tradition here for building great boats for heavy weather. The boat yard is on the West Coast of Sweden facing the North Sea so storms like you can see on Erik Aanderaa's channel are common. If you have time one summer, come for a visit and charter a new version of your boat and visit the boat yard and the people that built them, including yours. It will be emotional and epic, a once in a life time event..and you will have a new family... people here are very attached to their boats to the point they refuse to sell them even if the are going broke! its true..! kind of crazy.. in any case, when you have issues and are looking for answers, feel free to call the boat yard and ask questions, they will be happy to help..! that way you can get the proper solution to your problem with the right material/parts, etc. Good luck to you and dont change course unless you know where you are going...!
What a fabulous, inspiring video. Just shows if you want it bad enough, it is still possible even in today's turbulent times, to have the adventure of a lifetime. Liked and subscribed. Impatiently waiting for the next episode, Dave
Congratulations! You have worked so hard. Your love for each other and the spirit in which you are joined is an inspiration. God bless the both of you in your new journey - love, joy, safety, and FUN!
Welcome to the boat life! Hope you have lots of tools and spare parts to go with that beautiful hallberg rassy. It's about 10 times the work of a van but totally worth it
You're good people. How many people would even give the time of day to the people who you are trying to help. This shows me that the world still has some real people within her still... Thank you. PS. Great vids, great subject and needed too
OMG you guys are in Maryland, I am too and I live near the Annapolis area. Maybe you guys said this before and I missed it but that’s so exciting to see people from the same state I’m from do and go such crazy things. I’m so proud of you guys, please never stop what you’re doing. You’re such a huge inspiration!!!
Yous totally deserve every good thing that has come to you guys. So hard working and genuine. I’m looking forward to seeing yous progress into the next chapter! Xo
Were all watching and taking your journey Whit you .. Thanks fore sharing your dream . It makes me feel a part of it . And keeps us all belevie in our one dreams . Much of love and support from the Netherlands . Enjoying life 😇✌️
Been subbed for more than 2 years now, and every single video of theirs really makes me wanna run out and camp in a foggy forest. To more adventures, thanks dana & lou.
You guys are so inspiring and make the most beautiful and wholesome content. I can just tell through your videos how kind you both are and I’m so excited to see where this next chapter takes you guys! I wish you the best and can’t wait to tag along on your TH-cam!
so so happy for you and excited to follow you along on your future journeys! you're some of my favourite people on youtube - i always appreciate how genuine, passionate and kind you are! sending lots of love your way xxx
Thank you two for inspiring me to start my own TH-cam channel and getting a bus. It’s weird to see you guys not in a van but I’m excited for you both to be on the water! Safe travels!
Wow, so inspiring! Love your video quality, editing, and most importantly, passion for life! I'm taking my first sailing lesson tomorrow and will be looking for a boat soon. Look forward to reading your book as well. Fellow writer :)
I have been following you guys for a few years now, ever since I first watched your film camera videos (which I was obsessed with and still love!) It’s been so fun to see where you guys have gone - also please never change the way you edit your videos!! I LOVE them! It’s like watching a real movie. 😍 Can’t wait to see where your boat travels take you!!
What a top notch video, everything on point. Wat an adventure that awaits. And I who am terrified of the great big blue, this will be extra exiting to watch.

I really dig the kind of story telling used in this videos. Follow you since your Berlin videos and I am so proud of all the things you achieved! Wish you all the best in that next chapter of life!
Well said and completely agree. Very Special couple of Soùls. Blessings xxxx
You saved me from having to type. Thanks! You guys are true storytellers.
I've been following you for a few years now and you are honestly one of my biggest inspirations. I've always been a creative person but have struggled with making a living out of it, and when I found your videos I realised I was over complicating it and that I could find happiness in the simple things and by living a more simple life.

Keep doing what you're doing, as you are an inspiration to many. Much Love x
Sorry since everyone is doing this now it's over crowded and hard to tell who the good people are good luck out there
2 days are the happiest in a boat owner's life. The day they bought a boat and the day they sold it. The days in between are filled with work, anxiety (does the material hold? do I get another mooring? does the anchor hold here? etc) and waiting for good weather. The days on which the boat gives unlimited pleasure are rather thinly sown.
I hope with you it is different and your happy days on board are their many. You are optimistic and life-affirming enough.
In this sense, good luck and fun with your HR, she is made for it... and so are you!
I can't believe this! I grew up living on a 50ft Hallberg Rassy, since moving back on land for High School I've been watching you videos. I was so emotional when I saw this video, I'm so happy for you guys! Living on a sailboat is the best thing that ever happened to me, you guys are going to have a blast!

That sounds like an interesting childhood. You guys should write a book about it, I would buy it :)
Dana and Lou - I‘m not one to get emotionally attached to TH-camrs - but you two truly are special. I‘ve been following you for a while (for your immensely creative and beautiful videos) and you almost feel like friends. I really really wish you the best and news like the buying of your boat are making me very happy. If I could, I would have bought your book 5 times 🌞
An na technically you can. I bought it twice using two different emails
Eli Czaplinski I meant financially :D
You should get some life girl, unglue from screen asap
t reznicek Hahahah cute, wish I would care enough to tell you what my life actually looks like
An na No need to do it, you said enough in your first comment
Seems like you got the perfect little brother for the job, a former competitive sailor! Like how perfect is that?
I legit cried watching your excitement. I'm so happy for you and I don't even know you. What a beautiful compilation of moments that will be with you for the rest of your life. Happy travels.
I cried happy tears for you guys the whole way through this video, you're achieving your dreams and it's wonderful!
I know this is an old video, but you should have expanded your search all across the US, at least, or the east coast of the US & Canada. To just look at US boats ONLY on the east coast REALLY limits your options! This is the first video of yours that TH-cam suggested to me and I'm sure you eventually found a boat, but to others looking, you have to expand yourself to find the best boats & deals.

Hey guys, today I watched this video and I was totally impressed by your freshness and love for life. Absolutely love, keep them coming.
I think it is great that you are sharing transparently how much money you made with the ebook and how much the boat was. This makes following your yourney even better
All the best to both of you. Will see you in the blue waters soon. Be safe in your journey.
I am in a similar situation like you. Starting something new. The first video went up on my birthday yesterday. It wasn’t anything very big but a lot of hard work went into whatever I created.

When I thought your channel couldn`t get any better, you guys are going to DIY AND sail! LOVING IT!
So awesome that you chose Give Directly! They’re an incredible organization.
Congratulations!!! It feels like yesterday when we bought our boat! ⛵️ It’s a great lifestyle and community out here. Sometimes it can be really tough but your doing it all for a life of adventure and the high moments! ⚓️

Came across this vid very much by chance. Seems we're all on our own little journeys and watching this episode of yours, has given me that little bit more inspiration to continue on my own vlogging journey. Thank you from Johannesburg, South Africa.
Keep on Living a Life Less Ordinary
You got a gem! Someone loved that boat to the nines. Smooth weather and calm seas
More than you siblings, I am excited and happy for your purchase. All the best for your learning and God bless your sails. And I am pretty sure that when you reach Indian sure while you circumnavigate, I shall meet you. Lots of love from India.
Congratsss you guys!!!! So happy for you all!
Love you both Dana and Lou....so good to see you back. I thought when you sold Ody that was the end and I loved your videos. Now a new adventure begins... super doper.
Dana, Lou and David this is amazing. Dana, I cried right along with you as you processed the success of your ebook. Congratulations! I have watched your videos for so long and can't wait to see what will come in the future. Come sail to Ireland and explore our coastline - and drop us a line when you do!
You guys are excellent story tellers! You’re genuine and loving and I love getting to follow your adventures. Favorite TH-camrs
😀
I just read through the description as I don't have time to watch your video at the moment, but just wanted to say that you certainly chose an absolutely great manufacturer and model of boat!
Your boat would have been built by dedicated craftspeople and left their yard 100% perfect, and it's very likely that owners of such a boat would treat her well.
I'm really looking forward to watching your video!
So excited for this next step in your journey! I've loved following along with you two in van life, and I've just started getting into boat life videos, so I'm excited to follow along with some of my favourite youtubers doing boat life!!!
i got that patron exclusive boat tour but can’t wait for everyone to see it. also can’t wait to see what y’all do with it to make it your own because i know you will this video made me emotional for some reason i’ve been watching you guys for so so long now and part of me feels like i’m on the journey with you. I’m just excited for what the future holds much love ❤️
I got a 53 year old boat ! They are an awsome project ! But when you make progress you really feel great ! Good luck
I’m so excited for you !!! I’ve always had an adventurous spirit but have never been brave enough to do anything like this lol. Thanks for letting me come along and live through you !
I am SO SO SO excited to see this journey this is so exciting!!! Also...INCREDIBLE animation! I would love to know what you use to create it :)
God I wish I could be on an adventure like this
Who is stopping you?
Same that’s the life
Me too. But i am married to a sit at home and have cats.
Me too...
Ditto-and what’s stopping me is an autoimmune disease that has rendered me unable to function and walk on the daily. But I’m thankful to be able to live vicariously through them 💕
I have watched mountains of sailing videos. In terms of production techniques, I NEVER seen a video of this standard and class before. Thank you - truly awesome!
I'm only about 2/3rds through this video and I don't want it to end! Something about your video style is different. I've always enjoyed your videos for the style and of course content. But this is a new level of WOW! I'm super excited to follow you all on this new journey!
I want nothing more but for you two to succeed and life such a happy life, you guys deserve it! I’m such a fan of your life and lifestyle, thank you for sharing with us.
CONGRATULATIONS with a BEAUTIFUL quality build boat! The video was outstanding, your adventure seems epic. I am new to the channel, but I subscribed right away. Can't wait to see more.
I bought myself a sailboat as well, last year and moved aboard with the same plans as you have. My boat is built on the same famous island in Sweden where your is built, Orust Island. I got a Sweden Yachts C34 from 1980, also loved and well kept, so I know the feeling.
Fair winds!
I am soooo excited for upcoming videos. This video is maybe your best yet. Its sooo sooo good. THANK YOU for all the work you’ve done and do. So so excited!
Congrats guys to getting a great boat! I just stumbled on your channel when I saw Swedish Boat and wanted to see what you were up to...
really great story, and my Swedish brothers will have smiles on their faces..the Hallberg-Rassy name has long tradition here for building great boats for heavy weather. The boat yard is on the West Coast of Sweden facing the North Sea so storms like you can see on Erik Aanderaa's channel are common. If you have time one summer, come for a visit and charter a new version of your boat and visit the boat yard and the people that built them, including yours. It will be emotional and epic, a once in a life time event..and you will have a new family... people here are very attached to their boats to the point they refuse to sell them even if the are going broke! its true..! kind of crazy..
in any case, when you have issues and are looking for answers, feel free to call the boat yard and ask questions, they will be happy to help..! that way you can get the proper solution to your problem with the right material/parts, etc. Good luck to you and dont change course unless you know where you are going...!
Congratulations! You deserve it all! Living on board is a wonderful experience, my third year now, a big learning curve but well worth it :-)
What a fabulous, inspiring video. Just shows if you want it bad enough, it is still possible even in today's turbulent times, to have the adventure of a lifetime. Liked and subscribed. Impatiently waiting for the next episode, Dave
Congratulations. So excited for you!
Your new home, IS BEAUTIFUL!!! Can’t wait for a tour!! Can’t wait for more adventures....
Congratulations! You have worked so hard. Your love for each other and the spirit in which you are joined is an inspiration. God bless the both of you in your new journey - love, joy, safety, and FUN!
Welcome to the boat life! Hope you have lots of tools and spare parts to go with that beautiful hallberg rassy. It's about 10 times the work of a van but totally worth it
You're good people.
How many people would even give the time of day to the people who you are trying to help. This shows me that the world still has some real people within her still...
Thank you.
PS. Great vids, great subject and needed too
OMG you guys are in Maryland, I am too and I live near the Annapolis area. Maybe you guys said this before and I missed it but that’s so exciting to see people from the same state I’m from do and go such crazy things. I’m so proud of you guys, please never stop what you’re doing. You’re such a huge inspiration!!!

I have been following you guys for a few years now, ever since I first watched your film camera videos (which I was obsessed with and still love!) It’s been so fun to see where you guys have gone - also please never change the way you edit your videos!! I LOVE them! It’s like watching a real movie. 😍 Can’t wait to see where your boat travels take you!!
Great choice on a boat. I've sailed on one and they are very solid.
Just bought your ebook bundle. I’m excited to read/listen. I really wanted to help y’all live your dream. 🙂
What a top notch video, everything on point. Wat an adventure that awaits. And I who am terrified of the great big blue, this will be extra exiting to watch.
Very well done vlogg! And congratulations to you boat, a Hallberg Rassy is a great choice, you will love your boat!
This is so exciting! I have butterflies for you all... looking forward to following your journey. Thank you for always inspiring.
