Living Aboard is ILLEGAL?! | Richardson Bay | Sailing Avocet

- Richardson Bay has a long history of being a gathering place for the eclectic, creative and wealthy but most recently has gained notoriety for its local governments attempts to remove all liveaboards that they have nicknamed the "anchor outs" who have enjoyed living in rent-free boat homes in the Bay Area. Their boats, anchored just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, float illegally in the sightline of one of the country’s wealthiest zip codes. But now, as enforcement ramps up, their way of life could be coming to an end. Although our time in Richardson Bay was short, we had the opportunity to meet with some of the anchor outs who were the kindest people just trying to survive. This issue is multifaceted so we recommend you check out some of the documentaries on issue!
We also had the opportunity to get a birds eye view of the bay, flying with Seaplane and Aero Adventures thanks to my pal Ashley, in between chores of course 😉

Nice work on touching a topic of contention so delicately. The home you have is wonderfully mobile in the water.
Happy cruising to you both.
Cheers

Thank you J, I wanted to do the situation justice and state just the facts, letting our viewers make conclusions for themselves. It is sad no matter how you cut the deck. Hoping they find a peaceful solution soon. Thank you for the compliments, if you watched our previous videos you know how Avocet is a labor of love and we are so happy to finally be cruising! Fair winds!
Great video! Good to see you and your interesting adventures. I just watched your video on Starlink while anchored in LA Paz. I am considering cruising the bay area in the future and your videos offer a nice insight. 👍
Thanks Tad! Funny enough our starlink hasn't been working. We hope to share details on that soon... we were in Ventura last week and saw you were out, I was hoping you were off somewhere warm :) we will be in Ensenada this week!
Beautiful video! I really loved anchoring out in Richardsons Bay, it was our "escape" from cold(er) Berkeley. Ben is right, Bait Shop Market truly is the best sandwich shop in the Bay
Seriously... we are still dreaming of Davy Jones sandwiches... I can't find decent lunch crunch roles ANYWHERE :,(
So awesome seeing you guys out sailing after all the hard work you put into the boat!!
So glad you think so! Most of our viewership only wants to watch us struggle through the projects hahaha!!
@@sailingavocet the projects are great, especially for motivation to get going on ones of my own. But the whole point is to get off the dock and start exploring. Keep it up!
@@bcasey1322 Can't wait to share the next video!
Very informative video. As east coast sailors we aren't familiar with the cruising opportunities on the west coast. Your videos are eye opening. Thanks much for sharing.
Thank you for watching! Whereabouts on the east coast are you?
@@sailingavocet St. Simon’s Island, GA
@@sailingavocet I am located at St. Simon's Island, GA.
Fun! Interesting! Thanks for early release!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching Marie!
Triple threat, sailing,diy and safety video's. Like sing, dance and act. Love your video's.
Marv! That is so kind of you to say. Thank you so much!
awesome video.Thanks for sharing your story
greetings of peace from Indonesia
Thanks for watching
Those seaplanes are famous. I look for them every time I'm cruising through Marin. Did a Beaver ride out of Dawson City, Yukon on the way to Chicken, AK. Landed on a perfect mirror lake in the backcountry. Beyond words! If within your budget and time schedule, I would fly in one of these as they are one of the most famous, and cherished, models of aircraft in aviation history. Priceless!!
They are so cool! Very thankful we had the opportunity to experience a part of history and have this story to tell.
The production quality is out of the park guys! Keep crushing it! 👏🏾
Thanks Robert! Appreciate it
Great Video. Thanks
Our pleasure! Hope you enjoy the rest :)
Hey now my name is Darrell, and i just want to let you two know, I absolutely loved your video!
I am an anchor out from Richardson Bay Sausalito.
Thank you for all of your kind word's about our home here, we most definitely need for the public to know that we are not trying to live for free or even take advantage of a good thing. But in saying that what is going on here is criminal with this harbor patrol as you called them, literally stealing are boats and crushing them at the army corps of engineer's.
Both of you rock👍🏻😎
Hello! Thank you for sharing your beautiful neighborhood with us. We met some very kind people, like Lance, and are so sad about how everything is being handled. No one should have their boat stolen and crushed :,( hang tight up there!!
A few questions about the boats that were stolen. Were they currently registered? Taxes were up to date? I'm sure they had a full-time head pumping service so they weren't dumping overboard, right? Honestly, 90%+ of the "boats" (and I use that word in the loosest sense) in Richardson Bay are barely floating trash and every time a storm passes through a few more sink and have to be disposed of. I'm sure those responsible boat owners had insurance that paid for that clean up though... I won't bother getting into the crime and theft at this time. Let's face it, if these boats were remotely used as boats and not half-floating homeless camps nobody would have any problems. But the chance that any of them will ever meet basic safety or environmental laws is as slim as the chance they will ever leave the anchorage under their own power. No, they are just drug there as the last stop before they sink and left for "somebody else" to clean up. Most boaters have no problem with people anchoring out for a weekend, a week, a month... but this is a far cry from a boater anchoring out.
Wonderful video thankyou
Thank YOU for watching!!
Another slick vid you guys! Really well done, cheers!
Thanks friends!
Loved this video 😍 so informative.. can’t wait to see more sailing ⛵️
More sailing on the way!
Great show
Thanks Taylor!
Loved this, seems like you guys are starting to find a groove with your cruising content
4 videos in and feeling good
You guys are the coolest!
Ditto!!!
Always interesting and well put together like your friend Ben said.✅
Always loved the P&W R-985 radial engined Beaver 🦫 it’s like several Harleys.🥳
Rode in a Beaver up north of Montreal Canada 🇨🇦 a few hours drive back in the mid 90s.😎👍
Thanks Anna! Flying above the gate was a blast. As you will soon learn (in the next video) we sailed under the gate, flew over the gate, and rode our bikes across the gate - the full trifecta!
@@sailingavocet cool, we was wanting to see the video you did for that company also.😎👍
very nice you guy out for sailing thank you taking us with you
cheers
VERY NICE TRAVELLING ON BOAT
We sure think so
Slick hat, Chris.
Cheers
Did your dinghy feel save at the dinghy dock awaiting your return?
With the lock we put on it and with one of the anchor ours named Lance looking after her we felt very safe. Lance was sweet enough to make sure no other dinghies rubbed up against ours and always welcomed us to shore and wished us well as we headed back to Avocet.
Out the gate is how I found you all!!
Rad!!! Thanks for following along :)
Very nice boat the Cheoy Lee 41! What’s really nice is you guys pay homage to your boat in your “about” section. Very important to look after she who looks after you! Thanks
We love our boat and the Legacy that is left with us. Check this out: www.svavocet.com/2022/08/29/all-about-avocet/
@@sailingavocet Very cool! Didn’t know the difference between yours and the “offshore”. The PO sounded like an extraordinary man and sailor. Interesting story of Richards getting ripped off, I knew a bit about that, and it was a common thing amongst the Taiwanese boat yards back in the day. The shaft coming out of the deadwood is a great/safe configuration. Similar to our Crealock 37 (hull 15 off only 16) with our prop in an aperture behind the skeg. I’ll email you guys through your website, so I don’t take up so much room here. Check out our channel, I’m not doing much with it right now, but when we get to Mexico I’ll pick it up again. Paz y amor
Great job y'all hung a lot of other ones could take some advice from you on how to do channel
Thanks Michael! Just doing what we love :)
👍👍👍
Thanks for always watching!
I've always thought that the clouds coming down the hills in the evening was magical. that was a good shot.
It really is magical 😍 Hope we did it justice because we could just stop and stare at it for hours
Love Sausalito
we do as well!
Don't think you can live full-time on a sailboat in the Netherlands. For tax and insurance purposes you need a fixed home address or you will be considered homeless.
We are houseless, not homeless 😉
I am not sayin you are, just how they consider this in the Netherlands. 😉
I always wanted to experience a seaplane ride that would be awesome
It’s so cool!
🤘🏼😍🤘🏼

Bad actors and income inequality ruin everybody,s fun 😢
Agreed - so sad.
Plenty of blame to go around. The transient sailor suffers because bums and city managers took advantage.
*sigh*
You did not talk about being illegal. I really dont like clickbait....
Did you miss the entire segment?
Conservation and Development agency? Sounds like an oxymoron.
indeed.
San Francisco is a crap hole why would you hang around there anyway..when there are many many other much nicer places anchor world wide ..
Beauty can be found everywhere, but definitely not with an attitude like that. We enjoyed our time in San Francisco, and enjoy our time here in Mexico where we have been for the past few months. ✌️
Just name the broker..
they were literally right behind us, didn't need to drop the name.
Guttsy leaving the boat unattended
Do you leave your house during the day? 🤔
@@sailingavocet not in skid row, lol
@@aquious953 skid row is in LA. This is Richardson Bay. Harbor Patrol and sheriff boats made multiple rounds throughout the day, not to mention we lock our boat up and don’t leave anything laying around to steal in the first place. Thanks for your concern, but after growing up sailing the bay and spending months there aboard my own boat I had no issues.
