Hi Brian & Karin, I'm from Alaska and can vouch for the Inside Passage as being one the most beautiful places on Earth with sheltered waters and plentiful anchorage. So, if you haven't been there, I highly recommend it. But, the crossing the Gulf of Alaska is extremely rough. Nay, nay, stay away. Thank you for sharing this. I've never come across your site before. I'm a subscriber, now!
You said Indonesia. 😁. Owh thank u so much. That is my country. Say hello from indonesia. I like you livestyle . May be someday i can do your adventure too 😁😁😁
I was in the US Coast Guard and we would run into small boats out in the middle of nowhere sometimes. I'm super impressed by your setup and configuration. Stay safe, keep exploring and enjoying the journey of life. I love this! Best of luck to you and your family!
I wonder how people like this meet. With a crazy idea like this, staying together for 10 years, it’s a blessing to have someone who can accept to live like this. Wow.🙂
Very risky.. one single feud and it's a tragedy at sea. I know folks that buried their spouses in the basement.. now imagine what could happen at sea. God bless these two
I was thinking the same. I'd love the idea of staying off the grid, in some no name island. I won't miss society as long as I have internet. Just another person who shares the idea
Just imagine being at the complete mercy of the ocean. I imagine it’s extremely humbling. The ocean is such a powerful force and it can be very scary, props to you guys for fearlessly living the way you want to live.
@@Powerhaus88 true but imagine how inconvenient it must be to constantly be up to date on the weather and make decisions all the time to where to go and what to avoid.
Lexicon 2000 but for that „inconvenience“ they are living in the summer the whole year , living completely free not bound to anything , they can sail or stay wherever they want to as long as the weather plays along and thats it
I am speechless! Unusual for me. My ancestor was born in Antwerp. A seaman then a captain in the US during the wars with England shipping arms and ammunition's. Your relationship together is amazing. I see life in your eyes. The inspiration is overwhelming. You give a tear to an old man's eyes. Thank you young ones. My prayers are with you! 🥰
Seriously, as a marine biologist and research vessel manager I can honestly say this is the best, honest and enjoyable breakdowns of life at sea I have seen in a very longtime. Well Done.
That sounds awesome! I’m actually studying to get a degree in marine biology right now, and I would love to work on a research vessel one day. I’m only a sophomore right now, so do you have any tips for people like me who are wanting to go into that field of work?
this man is incredibly well prepared and knowledged. he knows how to fix everything, he has backup plans for every situation. I would imagine very very few people could do this. what a dream and I think they deserve it.
It's as real as it gets. My husband and I have lived 14 years. I love your viedo of your stunning vessel. Well done ! Awesome; Enjoy ! We loved it on the water
I really liked how they not only showed the amazing and beautiful parts about living life on the boat but also some terrifying incidents and experiences that one should expect in case they want to live like this. All the best to this family and hope they thrive out there :)
Man. Imagine having a partner who has and will support the same passion you have. They really look happy and content with their life. I love that. I wish nothing but the best for them.
Tbh I think that baby will struggle in social life, there's only her parents around her, I don't think that's enough for a child to socialize properly. But I am hoping to be wrong
My friend tried to sail around the world. His boat broke down so he came back home went to school to be a mechanic for two years then continued on his journey.
Followed these guys some years back and wow have they upgraded Delos. I stopped watching about 5 years ago when their crew of 7 became a crew of 3. The early years were amazing. What an amazing group of people that was. Brady and Josja, Max and Frida and babs. Wishing you guys all the best, could not even imagine cruising with a baby on board.
My parents did the exact same thing when I was the same age as your child. I am so greatfull for the childhood and memories they offered me at such a early stage of life. I am sure your child will share the same opinion when she is older. great video and respect from The Netherlands!
You can blame that person that told Brian that there are no "awards" or recognition for working the most time in the office or at a client site. So around '08 or '09, he sold it all, bought a boat and went to Mexico for a while. His youngest brother later joined. That was a long, long, time time ago... in a galaxy far far away.
This is the hippiest yet wholesome video TH-cam have recommended, I just love the whole dynamic of being outside the world and yet being part of it by having internet, electricity, etc. It just makes me think that us city people use so much more stuff than what we really need.
You should check their youtube channel. It's so awesome. Lots good vibes and everything. They let other people from different countries sail with them for months.
I truly admire you guys. 3 years ago I moved to the Canary islands and I live in a cottage in a canyon that my girl owns. I lived in the USA for 55 years and was q total materialist. I live a very minimalistic life now and totally love it. I've learned so much about life doing this. We don't need 1000.00 boots to be happy.
@@userx481 he spent every dime he had the go for this future and he's had to flip burgers his wife had to do menial chores all to keep this life he has. Do you want to put him down because he took a good chance and succeeded? I think your comment speaks more about yourself than about him. The man is willing to flip burgers for his family to live a good life and that's not a man to be scorned. Better to scorn the man that was scorning him, that being you.
@@anarex0929 They are literally pampered millionaires living a luxury lifestyle, and it wasn't from flipping burgers. He was a Microsoft engineer and owned his own software company, and they now make millions more by blogging/vlogging... This is not a lifestyle that you can just have with "hard work." That's not how the world works. They are basically celebrity personalities. I mean, not taking anything away from them personally. Good for them for making it happen, but let's not pretend like they are some blue collar shlubs made good. They are pampered one percenters.
I am a marine electrician and this is the best thought out set up and maintained boat I have ever seen. The boat still looks brand new. I can assure you that involves a tonne of hard work. I've seen two year old unmaintained yachts that look like old junkers
No doubt - maintaining all equipment goes a long way in their performance and appearance. Any idea where some of those junked out yachts get sold on the low? 😛
@@self-righteousideologue9398 Probably a lot more maintenance and replacement of circuits, conduits, and other equipment in the worst possible environment for electrical. I’m just an IT guy tho, so pure speculation.
@@martinkulik9466 It's not that expensive. But the lack of cables means it's insanely slow even if you are a billionaire. Nothing you can do about light speed after all.
I think the most incredible part is maintaining love and fun in this relationship while being on an elongated adventure, I am also overwhelmed by how much both couple know how to do things, mechanic, sewing, etc. Welldone guys be safe in greenland
I wonder how people like this meet. With a crazy idea like this, staying together for 10 years, it’s a blessing to have someone who can accept to live like this. Wow.
Two people (three now) living life to the fullest. When they leave this world, what a life they have lived. A tiny number of people have the courage to do this. Respect.
Good for this family for living the life they enjoy ... but the virtue signaling needs to be toned down. He's interjecting politics into something that is about liberty rather than catastrophist theology.
@@lenom1289 Agreed, plenty of people have the courage to do this, just not the financial & free time needed. With that said, it can't be an easy life always worrying is your house gonna sink lol
Love the video. 30 years ago my wife and I sailed our 33 foot sloop from U.S. to South America and back on a 3+ year voyage. It was amazing. Like you, we were not professional sailors and had to learn a great deal about sailing and maintaining a boat. We were 25 years old at the time and I am now 60. I spent a full year (part time) just outfitting the boat for the trip. Many great experiences learning new things, sailing, diving, fishing, meeting people and looking back on it even the harrowing experiences were great.
I lived on my sailboat for 14 years when I was younger. About 94,000 miles logged and probably lots more I didn't log. Best years of my life. I'd love to do it again.
I see posts like yours periodically. My next question is, 'What made you want to give it up'? I'm sick of the house scene and I'm considering going mobile in a boat. Kind of scared not knowing what I'm getting into.
Lived on mine for 7 years. What many don’t tell you is they still have pirates. Seriously. Plus CG can rip your sailboat apart if they want. And foreign countries are not too good to stop at now. Learn the laws before you go anywhere.
It's amazing how self supporting you are in every way and every single spot on your vessel that's beeing used. Really admire people who choose there own path in life and who can break free from the beaten track. Have a safe and happy journey 👍
Imagine going back in time and telling her "tomorrow you will meet a man who will sweep you off your feet and sail you across the world for 9+ years, and you going to have a child on the boat." I wonder what she would say? Either way I wish them both happy and fulfilled lives.
@@totafea8 I think it was 10 years between going to shore and 100 years of servitude if you don't wanna be killed by Davy Jones (although that was a trick because you lose your mind and stay on the ship indefinitely)
I really appreciate people who know how to live their lives. You deserve all the joys that your freedom brings simply because you both had the courage to take a chance. All the luck and happiness to you and your little sailor!
I think a little bit of that freedom went away when they started carrying a camera everywhere and they have obviously spent a fortune making that boat as much like living on land as they could
Your boat is incredible! It’s the best I’ve seen for preparedness, safety, storage, and conveniences. It’s also really good looking. I’m jealous of the wonderful life you have out there. Seeing the world and spending so much time in beautiful places without having to suffer crowds. How great is that! I hope you’re all safe, happy, and still enjoying the adventure!
Many comments on the "luxury" of being able to afford a live aboard sailboat. Please consider that Brian is an engineer that started a tech company. He wasn't poor. He sold everything he owned and bought a used sailboat 10 years ago. That is a large, very high quality boat, but 10 years ago it was much less expensive than what it would cost today. Also, he does nearly all maintenance and repairs himself (he did find another sailor with refrigeration experience to rebuild his freezers). Over the past decade he has rebuilt and upgraded nearly every system on the boat. He spends days in cramped spaces doing precision maintenance on equipment most of us never even have to think about. There are costs and trade-offs to choosing this lifestyle.
@@babydriverx This boat cost about $250,000 on the used market today. It probably cost $350,000 ten years ago when he bought it. He's probably spent another $100,000+ in the last ten years on maintenance. As you saw in the video, they budget about $2500 per month for the three of them to live, including boat maintenance. When they first started out, he was living off savings with the expectation that once he got to New Zealand he would sell the boat and go back to work. That didn't happen. For the first four years he and the rest of the crew would stop sailing periodically and do odd jobs to replenish their savings so that they could go sailing again. Once the TH-cam channel started taking off they could make enough money to just sail. Now they have enough Patreon subscribers to make them at least $50,000 per month. So it was a long haul, and lots of hard work went into building the channel, but it paid off, and now they are the second most popular sailing VLOGer on youtube.
just wait until they get on dry land... there's sea sickness, and when you get used to the rocking and walk on solid ground, there's land sickness. people who live on boats, constantly being rocked all the time, will start to sway on solid ground, sometimes even making them physically sick.
@@Ridge-j3u poor people think rich people r going to hell which is not an insane idea. If you think about it, you dont become a billionaire by being nice to ppl you gonna have to step on some throats to get there so I kinda agree if you’re going to chase money and become really really rich chances are you’re not the nicest person in world
This man lives his life exactly the way he wants to live it, goes exactly where he wants to go and has a woman by his side who supports and admires him. That's freedom! That's awesome!
It is awesome. Smart men always choose capable women with good self-esteem, who command respect, because people have to be capable of being good to themselves in order to be good and adoring to others. Also, they end up with capable, adoring, children with good self-esteem. I predict that you will find similar in your life, if you haven't already.
This man has shitloads of money to achieve this, how he has got it ain't my problem, but if you think this is easy achievable, well try to do it yourself :-)
@@TheWhaddeva I think based on the video he sold most of his possessions he needed on land including his house and bought a boat. He was not poor obviously but wasn't some rich guy either. Probably middle or upper middle class. With desire, careful preparation and hard work a lot of people can probably do this. But no one said it was easy and obviously it's not for everyone. That was not the point of my comment. But he deserves admiration for achieving what he wants. No matter how your own pursuit of happiness is defined you can learn from people like this. You don't have to live on the boat to learn from this. Just that you can have the courage to work hard to build your life the way you want it to be. That's the point.
@@TheWhaddeva said he was a software developer so he made the cheddar and then decided to sell everything, including his home, good choice. That child will be an amazing human being. Im in search of a way to live a life in nature with very little money and barely any savings. Im 36 and my hubby is 39 we met when I was 18, I have already raised children, my son is 17 and would totally go for this as well, and if he didn't want to, he's old enough to choose different. Sorry im spilling guts lol. But both my parents are gone and grandparents and I would love to find a way to be happy and enjoy the rest of our lives. My mother had chrones and colitis and so does my youngest sister and myself but we just have chrones, my middle sister also has an auto immune disorder, just not that one. Chrones is also called a stress illness. I want to be further from stress and anxiety/depression ( that for some reason I refuse to medicate) before it kills me.
Ten years is a long time. I admire your courage in going through all the hardship at sea and your ability of maintaining a sailing yatch despite the problem you face from time to time. The wonderful thing is that you both are meant for each other and sharing the care of a beautiful baby onboard. God bless you both and your child.
as an electronics engineer, i want to experience this once in my lifetime even just for a week. i am fascinated that you are able to integrate so many systems using renewable energy in the open sea. you even have satellite Internet access. i love this video.
Assuming that Elon Musk’s system comes online for satellite internet that particular component should become so much cheaper and somewhat easier to do.
I think you demonstrate just how competent a person needs to be to consider global sailing. Thanks for the breakdown on everything. Really informative. Safe journeys to you.
Agree! They went through literally everything I was curious about plus a ton of things I didn’t even think about but is extremely important. He took a lot of time researching, learning and teaching himself before starting the journey which is most important.
@@emilywiebel3238 Yes, I think sailing is one of those things that you can't wing it with, and pick it up along the way. Although I have seen vlogs by people who say they'd never sailed before and they bought a boat and went for it. The people that seem to be getting a lot out of it as a lifestyle are all-round pretty competent people (esp mechanics for the engine), very practical and are invariably optimists.
@@johnmainwaring6556 optimism seems to be mandatory for anyone who wants to live on a sailboat and travel. The kind of people that don’t get upset when something breaks but see it as part of the adventures and an opportunity to learn something. Having a good mechanical ability helps a lot, when they may not know how to fix something but can figure it out. Cheers
@@gothamcity007 you would be surprised what a well constructed boat can handle so long as the sails are trimmed correctly. Its unlikely you are going to be surprised out in the open in bad weather with modern weather forecasting equipment. You would find an anchorage in the Lee of an island, using it as a storm break.
@@gothamcity007 Dude see their old videos, they traveled crossed oceans several times for 10 years, and still the boat handled very well because of the maintenance they do(even this was uploaded)
You both have a wonderful family and an amazing ship, I'm sure Sierra will grow up full of love and amazing stories. I do not understand the comments of people complaining about your decision when they probably are raising their children within a city. Everyone has the power to choose how to raise their babies. All we can see is that you are great parents. I'll wish you three all the best!
I'm always blown away by the vast array of self supporting equipment, gear, cameras, laptops and various machinery. And still Brian and his bro made room for scuba equipment, fishing, drones, SUP if I recall, and various toys. Let's not forget about the capability of making moonshine! Nothing less than brilliant. Much respect. I'm looking forward to seeing the cold weather experiences.
Wow his woman stayed with him non-stop for 10 years in an apartment size equivalent and enjoyed the adventure. I call that solid relationship and a solid wife
@@Sh4dovv i mean, she doesn't exactly sound like she's freeloading. But even if she didn't do any boat stuff, she's still taking care of the kid which is work in and of itself
@@OfficiallySarabi she did say at one point about the "living room" at the table "this is where we work" and they have a TH-cam channel so you're correct about not free loading.
Esto es de verdad impresionante!! No dejaron nada por fuera, tienen todo cubierto!!! Pienso en las noches y me da un poco de nervios más viendo como ellos tienen todas las precauciones lo veo posible!! Genial! Los voy a empezar a seguir!!
Just another example of how children adopt to basically any situation. For all those worried parents wanting to give them a "perfect life" just do what you love and your kids will love you for it.
Radha K. Ugo I mean eventually the kid is gonna get a lot older and a lot bigger she won’t really be able to stay on that small boat with her parents forever
i hundred per cent agree with what you're saying but the phrasing makes me feel iffy because a lot of parents out there use this same ideology to be downright abusive towards their kids
This has to be one of the most interesting and amazing stories I’ve ever seen…I watched and listened to every second of this one ☝🏻…I have a lot of respect for this family 💪🏻
Pirate never bother with small ship, they only take on cargo ship without any guard. Or to say it bluntly they are too poor to be robbed, ain’t worth the fuel
watched them for years, they've never been hassled by pirates at sea but they have had some folks try to steal their dinghy Maggy whilst at anchor.. they - brian and his bro - caught them and fought the thieves off.
Same. Sadly even his dream will end soon. The sailor life is for the young. A baby certainly complicates it. I hope he can enjoy this lifestyle as long as possible.
By the end I was still thinking it’s a pretty damn good life they have carved out for themselves and they make it work with the baby so effortlessly....hats off to them xo
The best sailing video ever! Thank you, Brian, Karin and little Sierra for showing us the great life. You have 15+ Million views, simply incredibly. Many blessings!
My parents lived on a 42' catamaran, Salacia, and loved it! They, too, had a water-maker installed on their boat. It was beautiful! I loved visiting. They grew up in the Midwest and it was their retirement. Enjoy your beautiful life!
On the way to explore how to do an ocean crossing I came along this video. This is very inspiring. Being a father of Neo 12 and Jutta 9 and just having done a 4 month trip to Asia, I know about the challenge of raising kids on the go. But the offer of opening their vision to the world is priceless. Nothing but respect for what you do.
@@addictivealternatives Was just about to say something similar. Sailing is an excellent team building exercise. Depending on one another to stay afloat (let alone move/navigate), you're gonna learn to appreciate their existence there alone.
On that size 52, Im sure with using dried foods like pasta, rice and more long shelf line foods, they could stay away for a year easily:) The water maker is the MAJOR plus!
A garden on the deck would be destroyed by salt water, but sealed aeroponics would be a simple, space saving integration for fresh greens and small veggies. A small water pump to run the sprayers and led lights are all the power consumption you'd have to deal with.
@ArmchairWarrior -- the "garden" on deck is the sea and corals they sail too. They do fish at times and they can always spear fish - though they do not show that very much.
This is absolutely amazing, I am Envious Of their life But at the same time I still wish them all the best How wonderful would be to wake up in the middle of the ocean
Brian is a very smart guy who leveraged his success at sea into a profitable TH-cam channel. Glad to see he is finally beginning to think like a survivalist. He will survive.
I've always dreamed of living on a boat but after seeing this video and how many things you need, especially in case of an emergency, no thanks. I will keep on firm terra.
You are doing the sea version of what I am doing on land. My church bus is totally off grid. 2000 wats of solar and tons of storage. I need to by an atmospheric water generator. But I finally own the land I park on. It is a blessing!
@Fadammte Aggst - Brian, the owner, sold everything he owned to buy it. It’s not like he was super rich ten years ago. They all had to work odd jobs to be able to afford this lifestyle. The boat was used when he bought it. He also had to learn how to repair things himself to save money.
@@joen9080 well I dunno but that's my point more or less. It's very different for kids. Growing up only in a boat is different than being an adult that decides to live their lives in a boat. And yeah, you do need these social skills. But anyway, I hope that everything goes well for them and the kiddo!!!
Wonderful Share. We are sailors too and know a few people who had lived on board with their children. Now, these kids are grown up and are coast guard and sailors too. People commenting most likely have never spent a day let alone a week or month on a boat. I have spent months sailing and loved it. Keep it up, you are living a dream most people are too scared to imagine. Hope to see you in the North seas one day. Much love from Vancouver Island.
I traveled N America and Europe teaching skiing, hotel receptions in summer wherever I landed all in my 20’s. Loved every minute. If I have to do it all over again, this would be my dream. Good for you three, keep it up.
What an amazing, amazing story. Ive traveled (hitch hiked ) across two continents north and south and east and west in the 70s thru 90s. At 61 years old, my health will not allow me to quench my ever present wanderlust...hats off to you guys for chasing your dream!
@@jasrestery3463 It was a great era, for sure Jas. People trusted each other. Justice system was not a "for profit" corporation. Neighbors cared about each other. It was safe to hitch hike and explore the world. People talked to each other more face to face. I think innocence may have been lost with the advent of the internet, texting, and facebook. Thanks for replying Jas!
Wow, what a wonderful and knot producing in my stomach life you live. I love you three, and love your story. You guys are well-balanced individuals and are really going to be teaching Sierra so many wonderful skills. She is so blessed as you guys are. Love you all. God bless every journey.
I totally love this. Wife and I lived in a motorhome for 3 years and it was a great life. I don't have any sailing skills and we were working on land, so a boat was not going to work for us at that time. With the world getting crazier by the day, I think this life on the sea is very appealing. I would keep to low populated areas and avoid land as much as possible.
Here's a nice thing about a top-loading fridge. Cold air tends to stay low while hot air rises. That means when you open a top-loading fridge you don't lose all the cold like you do when you open a front opening fridge. So it takes less electricity to keep things cold.
Repeating myself here: It has disadvantages, too like not being able to pull out the right item at a glance or being unable to put stuff on top for long (once you want to open it that stuff has to move!)
Air has no lasting R value. This thing about top loaders being more efficient in this regard has been debunked. Front or top, choose based on needs, not misinformation about thermal properties.
@@marqgoldberg7454 No he's saying air doesn't really hold much cold/heat. In other words you could exchange all the cold air for warm air and it wouldn't matter much at all in the short term.
A top loader can hold more items. If you have shelves there's always a gap above your product to the next shelve. If you stack everything you get rid of all those gaps you would have from shelves. For me this would be the main factor to choose for a top loader but it all depends on what works best in your situation.
Great job! Checking back in after I've been away for awhile. Glad y'all are doing well and still sailing! Thanks for letting me live vicariously just a bit.
And you still have to have gasoline to run the compressor to fill the tanks. Maybe an electric compressor/solar, but it all still needs parts and maintenance.
I'm Just Gonna Say It, You Three Are Living My Dream and Your Doing It The Way I Dream I Could Do It. You Two Are Amazing, Love This Video, I Hope, Pray, And Wish I Could Live On A Boat Like This. Thank You For This Video. I Know There Have Also Been Alot Of Really Bad Storms/Hurricanes The Last Few Months. I Hope You All Are Safe And Still Living The Best Life Possible.

Hi Brian & Karin,
I'm from Alaska and can vouch for the Inside Passage as being one the most beautiful places on Earth with sheltered waters and plentiful anchorage. So, if you haven't been there, I highly recommend it.
But, the crossing the Gulf of Alaska is extremely rough. Nay, nay, stay away.

Jeff Crisamore thank you for your service!
Dido and with that top secret desalination machine😉 they are almost unlimited
Did you establish communication with them when those encounters happened?
I wonder how people like this meet. With a crazy idea like this, staying together for 10 years, it’s a blessing to have someone who can accept to live like this. Wow.🙂
Couldn't have said it better, super happy for them! What a dream come true
Very risky.. one single feud and it's a tragedy at sea.
I know folks that buried their spouses in the basement.. now imagine what could happen at sea.
God bless these two
I was thinking the same. I'd love the idea of staying off the grid, in some no name island. I won't miss society as long as I have internet. Just another person who shares the idea
They had to have had the baby on the boat... insane
@@oren9106 I wonder how they make money to sustain the boat, and fuel. I'm just saying, that's like a 10 year long vacation.
Just imagine being at the complete mercy of the ocean. I imagine it’s extremely humbling. The ocean is such a powerful force and it can be very scary, props to you guys for fearlessly living the way you want to live.
I was wondering about that. Till they showed the dashboard.
@@Powerhaus88 Tell that to rogue waves.
John Usavage Again it can be accurately and logically calculated. If you want to bring up that unexpected “percentage” bullsh*t try again

That sounds awesome! I’m actually studying to get a degree in marine biology right now, and I would love to work on a research vessel one day. I’m only a sophomore right now, so do you have any tips for people like me who are wanting to go into that field of work?
Very very nice
A truly fortune man to find such a wonderful woman!
@@brookeb4563 ... guess not? 🤣
where do u operate?
this man is incredibly well prepared and knowledged. he knows how to fix everything, he has backup plans for every situation. I would imagine very very few people could do this. what a dream and I think they deserve it.
back up plans for back up plans is key
You should checkout their channel @Sailing SV Delos - Brian is crazy impressive with his jack of all trades skills
It's as real as it gets. My husband and I have lived 14 years. I love your viedo of your stunning vessel. Well done ! Awesome; Enjoy ! We loved it on the water
Best pickup line. “Hey wanna go sailing?”
Supremely Bad Fur Day one of by best friends uses that line all the time on women lol
You've probably never met a sailor have you? That's basically all they'll ever ask you
and then you neeeeever go back to land
chicks love boats more fast cars

I really liked how they not only showed the amazing and beautiful parts about living life on the boat but also some terrifying incidents and experiences that one should expect in case they want to live like this. All the best to this family and hope they thrive out there :)

That baby is gonna have such great stories to tell once she grows up.
Tbh I think that baby will struggle in social life, there's only her parents around her, I don't think that's enough for a child to socialize properly. But I am hoping to be wrong
She's gonna have fins with a worldly education before hitting 12.
G P Unfortunately, you are most likely correct. She wouldn’t know how to converse with people her own age.
@@RealBazman i think they have to move to land when that kid is like 5
G P yeah i think once she gets to the years of education (3-5 yrs later) they would probably settle down and get her in school
My friend tried to sail around the world. His boat broke down so he came back home went to school to be a mechanic for two years then continued on his journey.

Followed these guys some years back and wow have they upgraded Delos. I stopped watching about 5 years ago when their crew of 7 became a crew of 3. The early years were amazing. What an amazing group of people that was. Brady and Josja, Max and Frida and babs. Wishing you guys all the best, could not even imagine cruising with a baby on board.
My parents did the exact same thing when I was the same age as your child. I am so greatfull for the childhood and memories they offered me at such a early stage of life. I am sure your child will share the same opinion when she is older. great video and respect from The Netherlands!

When the child is small, it is manageable. But they have to finish the journey to raise the kid (school, friends, ect.)

You can blame that person that told Brian that there are no "awards" or recognition for working the most time in the office or at a client site.
So around '08 or '09, he sold it all, bought a boat and went to Mexico for a while. His youngest brother later joined. That was a long, long, time time ago...

Love the video. 30 years ago my wife and I sailed our 33 foot sloop from U.S. to South America and back on a 3+ year voyage. It was amazing. Like you, we were not professional sailors and had to learn a great deal about sailing and maintaining a boat. We were 25 years old at the time and I am now 60. I spent a full year (part time) just outfitting the boat for the trip. Many great experiences learning new things, sailing, diving, fishing, meeting people and looking back on it even the harrowing experiences were great.
Hi Matt !
👍
I lived on my sailboat for 14 years when I was younger. About 94,000 miles logged and probably lots more I didn't log. Best years of my life. I'd love to do it again.
@Mark : You dared to take the untrodden path 👍 God bless
I see posts like yours periodically. My next question is, 'What made you want to give it up'? I'm sick of the house scene and I'm considering going mobile in a boat. Kind of scared not knowing what I'm getting into.
DO IT!
Lived on mine for 7 years.
What many don’t tell you is they still have pirates. Seriously. Plus CG can rip your sailboat apart if they want. And foreign countries are not too good to stop at now.
Learn the laws before you go anywhere.
I really do miss mine though. It was really fun.
It's amazing how self supporting you are in every way and every single spot on your vessel that's beeing used. Really admire people who choose there own path in life and who can break free from the beaten track.
Have a safe and happy journey 👍
Imagine going back in time and telling her "tomorrow you will meet a man who will sweep you off your feet and sail you across the world for 9+ years, and you going to have a child on the boat."

I really appreciate people who know how to live their lives. You deserve all the joys that your freedom brings simply because you both had the courage to take a chance. All the luck and happiness to you and your little sailor!
I think a little bit of that freedom went away when they started carrying a camera everywhere and they have obviously spent a fortune making that boat as much like living on land as they could
Took a chance what chance he sold everything and baught a boat. Not that hard to do took a chance go take a chance to become a billionair
Your boat is incredible! It’s the best I’ve seen for preparedness, safety, storage, and conveniences. It’s also really good looking. I’m jealous of the wonderful life you have out there. Seeing the world and spending so much time in beautiful places without having to suffer crowds. How great is that! I hope you’re all safe, happy, and still enjoying the adventure!
Many comments on the "luxury" of being able to afford a live aboard sailboat. Please consider that Brian is an engineer that started a tech company. He wasn't poor. He sold everything he owned and bought a used sailboat 10 years ago. That is a large, very high quality boat, but 10 years ago it was much less expensive than what it would cost today. Also, he does nearly all maintenance and repairs himself (he did find another sailor with refrigeration experience to rebuild his freezers). Over the past decade he has rebuilt and upgraded nearly every system on the boat. He spends days in cramped spaces doing precision maintenance on equipment most of us never even have to think about. There are costs and trade-offs to choosing this lifestyle.
yeah and he gets to scuba dive when we are sitting in traffic.
Anyone could do this if they invested 4 years into preparation just like he did
How much did he invest in total, how do you reckon
@@babydriverx This boat cost about $250,000 on the used market today. It probably cost $350,000 ten years ago when he bought it. He's probably spent another $100,000+ in the last ten years on maintenance. As you saw in the video, they budget about $2500 per month for the three of them to live, including boat maintenance.
When they first started out, he was living off savings with the expectation that once he got to New Zealand he would sell the boat and go back to work. That didn't happen. For the first four years he and the rest of the crew would stop sailing periodically and do odd jobs to replenish their savings so that they could go sailing again. Once the TH-cam channel started taking off they could make enough money to just sail.
Now they have enough Patreon subscribers to make them at least $50,000 per month. So it was a long haul, and lots of hard work went into building the channel, but it paid off, and now they are the second most popular sailing VLOGer on youtube.

No if they get sick they will suffer allot.

It is awesome.
Smart men always choose capable women with good self-esteem, who command respect, because people have to be capable of being good to themselves in order to be good and adoring to others. Also, they end up with capable, adoring, children with good self-esteem.

This man has shitloads of money to achieve this, how he has got it ain't my problem, but if you think this is easy achievable, well try to do it yourself :-)
@@TheWhaddeva I think based on the video he sold most of his possessions he needed on land including his house and bought a boat. He was not poor obviously but wasn't some rich guy either. Probably middle or upper middle class. With desire, careful preparation and hard work a lot of people can probably do this. But no one said it was easy and obviously it's not for everyone. That was not the point of my comment. But he deserves admiration for achieving what he wants. No matter how your own pursuit of happiness is defined you can learn from people like this. You don't have to live on the boat to learn from this. Just that you can have the courage to work hard to build your life the way you want it to be. That's the point.
@@TheWhaddeva said he was a software developer so he made the cheddar and then decided to sell everything, including his home, good choice. That child will be an amazing human being.

Sorry im spilling guts lol. But both my parents are gone and grandparents and I would love to find a way to be happy and enjoy the rest of our lives. My mother had chrones and colitis and so does my youngest sister and myself but we just have chrones, my middle sister also has an auto immune disorder, just not that one.

@@emilywiebel3238 Yes, I think sailing is one of those things that you can't wing it with, and pick it up along the way. Although I have seen vlogs by people who say they'd never sailed before and they bought a boat and went for it.

@@johnmainwaring6556 optimism seems to be mandatory for anyone who wants to live on a sailboat and travel.

@Fadammte Aggst - Brian, the owner, sold everything he owned to buy it. It’s not like he was super rich ten years ago. They all had to work odd jobs to be able to afford this lifestyle. The boat was used when he bought it. He also had to learn how to repair things himself to save money.
guess what will come handy when there boat gets lost at sea...that satellite comm system
Heartwarming, especially to an old man who's had pretty much his last adventure. God Speed to you good folks!
Doug, dont hold yourself back. Adventure comes in all kinds of shapes and sizes. :)
Doug. Hope you have another great adventure . Be blessed.
Hey Doug, Don't feel alone. I'm living my last adventure now (which is just living!). I will see you on the other side!
Amazing lifestyle. The baby is a game changer when she get older.
Exactly what I was thinking. It's a pity that they can't keep on like this for many years and they will eventually have to go to land.
Why not homeschool and travel?
Plenty of families have raised kids at all stages of development on boats.
I lived on a boat and home schooled for a decent part of my childhood. Glad I picked up some social skills by attending high school though haha
@@joen9080 well I dunno but that's my point more or less. It's very different for kids. Growing up only in a boat is different than being an adult that decides to live their lives in a boat. And yeah, you do need these social skills. But anyway, I hope that everything goes well for them and the kiddo!!!
Wonderful Share. We are sailors too and know a few people who had lived on board with their children. Now, these kids are grown up and are coast guard and sailors too. People commenting most likely have never spent a day let alone a week or month on a boat. I have spent months sailing and loved it. Keep it up, you are living a dream most people are too scared to imagine. Hope to see you in the North seas one day. Much love from Vancouver Island.
“sailing for the weekend” *weekend lasts 9 years*
Weekends are a tad longer in Sweeden.
Lol
Sounds like a damn kidnapping xD
@@ChillAF-o5v "Blink twice if you need help."
LMAO😂
"I read lots of books"
83K nautical miles later
Obviously good books
Im blowen away by the competence of this man. All the knowledge you need to sail + maintaining this home it seems impossible to me.
nah he probably messed up thousands of times. everythings a matter of practice.
He's a fellow software engineer, so he is a smartass
I traveled N America and Europe teaching skiing, hotel receptions in summer wherever I landed all in my 20’s. Loved every minute. If I have to do it all over again, this would be my dream. Good for you three, keep it up.
Incredible set of human beings.They have thought everything through.
❤️ family
Except for having a baby while they’re still traveling the world, I’d have waited
It took 10 years I'm sure they made a few mistakes
What an amazing, amazing story. Ive traveled (hitch hiked ) across two continents north and south and east and west in the 70s thru 90s. At 61 years old, my health will not allow me to quench my ever present wanderlust...hats off to you guys for chasing your dream!
john rose-juice feasting
You are awesome and very lucky to be alive through the 70s when people weren't a bunch of s*** heads I am jealous of that that would be so fun
Where do u live now???
@@jasrestery3463 It was a great era, for sure Jas. People trusted each other. Justice system was not a "for profit" corporation. Neighbors cared about each other. It was safe to hitch hike and explore the world. People talked to each other more face to face. I think innocence may have been lost with the advent of the internet, texting, and facebook. Thanks for replying Jas!
@@jasrestery3463 I live in Florida..on the west coast. Spend my time hiking, and swimming in the springs.
She: "We have a toaster which is a bit of a luxury"
Me: I don't have a Sailboat...
I thought she said “which uses a bit of electricity” haha
Golly, I have a sailboat but not a toaster!
They don't have a house.
@@JR-kv6ez They must don't like paying rent.😂
Jacob Perez me neither and no sailboat. Ill choose the boat everytime
Wow, what a wonderful and knot producing in my stomach life you live. I love you three, and love your story. You guys are well-balanced individuals and are really going to be teaching Sierra so many wonderful skills. She is so blessed as you guys are. Love you all. God bless every journey.
Hi Helen how are you?
I totally love this. Wife and I lived in a motorhome for 3 years and it was a great life. I don't have any sailing skills and we were working on land, so a boat was not going to work for us at that time. With the world getting crazier by the day, I think this life on the sea is very appealing. I would keep to low populated areas and avoid land as much as possible.
Here's a nice thing about a top-loading fridge. Cold air tends to stay low while hot air rises. That means when you open a top-loading fridge you don't lose all the cold like you do when you open a front opening fridge. So it takes less electricity to keep things cold.
Repeating myself here: It has disadvantages, too like not being able to pull out the right item at a glance or being unable to put stuff on top for long (once you want to open it that stuff has to move!)
Air has no lasting R value. This thing about top loaders being more efficient in this regard has been debunked. Front or top, choose based on needs, not misinformation about thermal properties.
@@corywadedavis how can it possibly be debunked? Are you telling me he doesn't rise and cold doesn't go downtown?
@@marqgoldberg7454 No he's saying air doesn't really hold much cold/heat. In other words you could exchange all the cold air for warm air and it wouldn't matter much at all in the short term.
A top loader can hold more items. If you have shelves there's always a gap above your product to the next shelve. If you stack everything you get rid of all those gaps you would have from shelves. For me this would be the main factor to choose for a top loader but it all depends on what works best in your situation.
That induction stove and oven attached to a gimbal system really just blew my mind
Ikr? I was like... WOAH!!
Great job! Checking back in after I've been away for awhile. Glad y'all are doing well and still sailing! Thanks for letting me live vicariously just a bit.
They have everything you could want EXCEPT they don’t have any harpoons to fight krakens. Amateur mistake.
amateurs smh
Or Megalodon, or anything to counter a galleon now that I think about it
What do you mean? Krakens needs protecting from the cuteness of baby Sierra!
That’s what the baby is for
They would Also need swords to raid the coast og England
"he asked me to go sailing for the weekend... That was 9 years ago"
😂👌🏽
Bro. U noticed they have an idol statue of Hanuman.
At 16.52
@@LuciferDono same bro I've noticed it
Gaming Bank what’s hanuman

The fact that this ship allows you guys to do scuba forever alone can be enough to make it my dream
All that equipment needs maintenance though.
And you still have to have gasoline to run the compressor to fill the tanks. Maybe an electric compressor/solar, but it all still needs parts and maintenance.
@@ownerowner1850 He said he would need to run the generator to use the divecompressor, so i think its electric.
That is the best self-sufficient sailboat I've ever seen.
I feel like you guys were destined to be together. All the fun adventures you guys are having is like the dream.
My man's sailing skills went up +200 when he married a Viking woman
Hahahaha
Mad lad
Hilarious
A pro gamer move
U learn something new everyday. Didn't know can labels attracts cockroaches
I'm Just Gonna Say It, You Three Are Living My Dream and Your Doing It The Way I Dream I Could Do It. You Two Are Amazing, Love This Video, I Hope, Pray, And Wish I Could Live On A Boat Like This. Thank You For This Video. I Know There Have Also Been Alot Of Really Bad Storms/Hurricanes The Last Few Months. I Hope You All Are Safe And Still Living The Best Life Possible.
