People, just watch the videos and enjoy. These are a couple of great young people. Don't comment negatively about things,watch and enjoy. Or don't! Keep up the great videos kids.
I like the raw experience without the music... We get more info and less fluff! It would be different if you were playing stereo in the cabin or on deck.
Not being a sailor, dock vs anchor is never something I've had to consider. It's interesting hearing your pros and cons on the two based on your experience. Your videos are like a window into a place I've never known and I appreciate your sharing it. And I hadn't even noticed that there was no music. I kind of liked the natural sounds of the wind and water.
When your're at anchor, your bow is always pointed windward. With the forward hatch open, the breeze goes through the cabin. Marinas are usually located where they are protected from the wind so they can be stifling.
You two are awesome. Thank you so much for taking us along, seeing and somewhat experiencing your ventures. You're our favorite couple on TH-cam, actually, just our favorite couple. (Sounds weird doesn't it?) Please keep doing what you do. Love the glimpse of your experiences. Michael
We prefer to anchor, too, especially in places like the Bahamas. But, sometimes, we just have to get off the boat. We were in Spanish Wells a couple of years ago, and put in at a marina that had cottages to rent that we could see our boat from out the eindow. We went nuts and stayed in one if the cottage for three nights. We dropped a grand, but sometimes you have to take a vacation from your vacation. And, doing laundry every couple of weeks is a biggie.
Personally, one my favorite vids of yours is the one at the dry tortugas. Heavily edited with the music beat was cool. BUT, I love ALL your vids! You both are AWESOME!!!
If you ever get a sponsor for sun glasses you should take it cause your always on the water in the sun and it’s a great product to advertise stylish and useful
Wrightsville beach is a good anchorage. They have a dinghy dock and it is waking distance to West Marine, hardware, restaurants and the grocery and it is a short walk to the beach.
This is a similar discussion that auto vehicle based travelers have....stay in an established campground vs. dispersed camping. Many tradeoffs and benefits and each has their time and place. Great video!
I suggest getting polarized filters for your cameras, that way we can see more contrast in the water from above. That way next time you go to the Caribbean you can show the dolphins and fish better. It cuts down on water reflection. if you already have them, disregard this message. Keep up the good work!
So cool. Georgetown is my home town where I live. I’ve shrimped at the end of the jetties. North jetty is called the mud hole and the south jetty is called the south mound. North inlet is a beautiful place, it’s the next smaller inlet to the north. When we are shrimping and it gets rough we anchor in front of the light house. Actually me and some friends just went up to the light house in a small boat. North inlet has the best oysters in the world.
You’re truly living the dream Billy. You’re doing what you love with a beautiful lady who seems to share your love for sailing. Thank you guys for sharing your adventures.
I suppose part of your marina costs come about by you having 2 boats tied together, rather than just 1 boat but it all adds up. Biggest factors I think are energy, which you are on top, and company, which you are also on top of. My home is a HR38 and I'm single handed so I do need people nearby, from time to time. Also I haven't gone as far as fitting panels yet, partly because it's not straight forward on my boat and I'm still sorting out technical issues which are still there having only recently bought my boat; a good chandler on hand is often necessary. Another factor you touched on is how safe and sheltered anchorages are. I'm currently in southern England and there seems to be little good anchorage space here, unless you head up the rivers. Would like to spend more time at anchor though.
I like and I'm sure others would agree your able to demonstrate diversity in subject matter great stuff and the ones who gave a dislike are just plain Richard Heads...Great leadership Many Txs...
I like a mix of some raw videos and some highly edited videos (with amazing B-roll and music). It really has alot to do with the subject that you are covering for that video and where you are currently sailing. Will be interesting to see what the majority of the comments are about this subject over the next couple days.
I didn't consciously notice until everybody is saying something. I guess I like it better without the music. The sound of the wind and water makes it better. He's just such a good producer that i never notice such things, always immersed in what they are doing.
I just subscribed to your channel , I stumbled across it and am in awe of your adventures , love your dog so cute, my dream is to do what you 2 are doing some day. Safe travels ⛵⛵
Another great video. And while the atmospheric feel of this with wind, and waves and no music was really cool, music does have a place and I have enjoyed your selections as your editing style has matured. I suspect you are heading back out of New England and back to warmer climes now. I'm not sure how to say this last part, so I will just say it: rare is the day when the thought of all of you and the hope you that remain safe doesn't cross my mind. May you be blessed by fair breezes and warm following seas.
Thanks so much John! We will do our best to stay safe. We figured most videos do better with music but when we discuss a subject we like to keep it natural. Thanks so much for watching :)
Every year in November we leave Key West and sail to the Bahama's and St. Croix, but this year we are sailing the West coast of Florida, then all the way to Texas, should be a fun trip
When I was younger I use to always anchor, but now that I'm retired I have gotten spoiled by all the amenities the marina's have to offer, we use Key West as are home base, we pay $ 800 a month for a slip and that includes everything.
$70 a nite! Ouch! That's a nice dinner for two somewhere. But I'm cheap. And I enjoyed no music, and learning about how to live on a boat. I have never been on a boat so I have zero clue what it's like. I have enjoyed your videos so much. I find them so relaxing. I love water. I would like to see more diving as well. Do you guys have any sort of protection against bad people? Are pirates ever a concern? I've heard they're still a thing, but didn't know if that was true. I would keep a fresh water bottle with some mint essential oils in it...squirt it around the perimeter and it will deter rats. In Phoenix roof rats are a big problem. We put metal flashing around tree trunks, primarily fruit trees, about two feet in height. It makes it too slippery for the rats to climb. Creepily enough, we need two feet because they're pretty big and can stretch about a foot *shudder*. Wonder if there's a way to do something similar on your lines that they may have access to? Just a thought. 💖
@James Wold I love this idea. I wouldn't have thought a cat would enjoy being on a boat, but I guess some do! Would love to see a pic of yours on the boat. 🤩
samiamisme - check out 'Gone with the Wynns' sailing channel ! They have two cats on their Catamaran . . . . which is named, "Curiosity" . . . . ! Fun !
Well hopefully between Hot water for showers and power to dry your clothes you recouped some of that $70 a night back . Like you said stepping right off the boat onto the dock with amenities is worth something too . be safe !
Thanks for sharing such great videos! Can you please tell me what version of the Navionics app you use on your iPad? I sometimes use Navionics on my iPad as a supplement to the chart plotter on my boat, but yours looks very different from mine (and a lot better). I have Navionics USA Version: 11.1. Thanks again for sharing, and keep up the great job!
This is probably a stupid question to ask. But you’ve done a lot of cruising up and down the coast and to the Bahamas in your catamaran. Have you ever known anyone that is going up and down the coast and maybe to the Bahamas in one of them pontoon houseboats. My wife and I have been looking into the cruise in lifestyle but there are certain creature comfort‘s that we don’t know if were able to do without just yet.
Tula's Endless Summer “Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it”. Just as important as life jackets, etc. Imagine bad guys boarding your boat, having their way with Sierra, stealing everything. It happens, be prepared.
I am wishing for more detail. You left out the names of the places. Now, if they can talk about it in a guide book then you should talk about the places in your video.
Like it , I don't hear so good any more (I'm 64) so it makes it much easier to understand the dialogue. You guys are always fun to watch.
Dan
I think the lack of music, replaced with the sounds of the wind, waves and the sea make for a nice change.
Thank Bruce!

You said everything I was trying to but couldn't articulate well. Thanks. I agree with you on perspective and natural sounds. Cheers!
When your're at anchor, your bow is always pointed windward. With the forward hatch open, the breeze goes through the cabin. Marinas are usually located where they are protected from the wind so they can be stifling.

All personal preference :)Thanks for watching!
As summer starts to turn to fall in NewEngland it’s fun to watch you warm water sailing.
We need to get back to the warm water! New York is a little chilly today!
I suggest getting polarized filters for your cameras, that way we can see more contrast in the water from above. That way next time you go to the Caribbean you can show the dolphins and fish better. It cuts down on water reflection. if you already have them, disregard this message. Keep up the good work!

People sometimes say I'm a little antisocial, but I say no I'm selectively social 🏝️🏝️🌅🌅⛵⛵
We know what that is like!

Would like to spend more time at anchor though.
I liked it with out the music, to hear the ocean was nice, but I didn't really think about it not having music until I read your description.
I'm glad you guys are back in motion
Awesome. BTW is The Adrenaline registered or documented? Maybe an idea for another short vid explaining the difference.
You should do a video on the advantages/disadvantages on the costs associated with sail verses power. You have experience with both.
William, I agree with you. It would be nice to know what the expenses were for you to make the trip north this year compared to last year.
Great idea we will do one soon!
Let's go! Georgetown, SC is my home!
Nicely presented information, I'm sure people will find it advantageous.
15 min. mark would make a great 8hr sleep vid. great job guys be safe.
Your videos never fail to kick my happiness factor into a higher gear. Thanks
Advice from someone who's "been there, done that" so much better than from a "wanna' be". Thanks!
I like your original music from your first videos on the trawler, very relaxing after a long day at work. Wish I knew how to find it.
Good video. You’ll find when you go offshore to remoter places there will be no marina or fuel dock option for thousands of miles.
Can't wait to get farther!
I like and I'm sure others would agree your able to demonstrate diversity in subject matter great stuff and the ones who gave a dislike are just plain Richard Heads...Great leadership Many Txs...
Thanks for watching George :)
Love the story. You two are great together. Good Times!
Thanks so much!

Missing you always, looking forward to seeing you again
Booutt his favorite word booutt lol!
I just subscribed to your channel , I stumbled across it and am in awe of your adventures , love your dog so cute, my dream is to do what you 2 are doing some day. Safe travels ⛵⛵
thanks for watching:)
How I wish my girlfriend could hear you she loves to go to marinas (yes she is super social) Another great videos
That was beautiful
Interesting point about creatures coming on board at a marina. RAN Sailing found a young possum between their cabin floor/hull.
Yikes! I think I would rather a opossum over a rat though!

I can't decide which I love more Sierra's physical gorgeousness, or her charm and personality.
Y’all need to sail to the gulf coast like Alabama Mississippi. I think y’all would do good....
Every year in November we leave Key West and sail to the Bahama's and St. Croix, but this year we are sailing the West coast of Florida, then all the way to Texas, should be a fun trip
Miss y’all I hope everything is well
When I was younger I use to always anchor, but now that I'm retired I have gotten spoiled by all the amenities the marina's have to offer, we use Key West as are home base, we pay $ 800 a month for a slip and that includes everything.
That sounds like a great deal:)
R u doing a hurricane special????
It would be epic
Also: Good luck getting an end tie for a cat or tri,at least here in California!
Not sure where you guys would be now but hope you are in a safe area with Hurricane Florence barreling towards the North Carolina. Be safe kids.
Thanks so much! We are in New York so as of now we are in the clear:)
Awesome!
leapfrogging up the East Coast just like the Pirates used to do they never doc Pelicans Wise Old Birds you should talk to One sometime
WOW...VERY NICE. INFORMATIVE. WHAT CAN YOU SAY..."BEAUTIFUL EXCELLENT"
We prefer being on the hook. Clean water to swim and make water, and a better breeze for fresh air
We agree!
$70 a nite! Ouch! That's a nice dinner for two somewhere. But I'm cheap. And I enjoyed no music, and learning about how to live on a boat.

@@richardhobbs9038 ...Thanks for the suggestion. I binged about 6 of the videos. They seem so adventurous and those kitties are so well trained!
Listen with this Hurricane approaching where are you guys heading to tie-up at?
I vote for raw, easier to concentrate on you two. Great informative vid. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Well hopefully between Hot water for showers and power to dry your clothes you recouped some of that $70 a night back . Like you said stepping right off the boat onto the dock with amenities is worth something too . be safe !
Its a nice change every once in a while !
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing such great videos! Can you please tell me what version of the Navionics app you use on your iPad? I sometimes use Navionics on my iPad as a supplement to the chart plotter on my boat, but yours looks very different from mine (and a lot better). I have Navionics USA Version: 11.1. Thanks again for sharing, and keep up the great job!
Without works for me as long as I can hear the wind and the sea
dont you miss the flower?
Awesome
No intro? Thanks for your thoughts and knowledge as always! Peace from Allegro
Next time y'all come through CHS, let me know. 8-)
please show the pelicans dive bombing. they are so beautiful. I love you guys.
hurricane on the way
This is probably a stupid question to ask. But you’ve done a lot of cruising up and down the coast and to the Bahamas in your catamaran.

My wife and I have been looking into the cruise in lifestyle but there are certain creature comfort‘s that we don’t know if were able to do without just yet.
We have met a few people that bring house boats over to the Bahamas. Just pick the weather right :)
The quite 2200 or 2000 generators Honda builds it should be no problem to run an A/C in the cabin.
We love our honda! But no A.c. unit so use it with :)
Have you guys ever thought about having a firearm on board for self defense? I would definitely consider that in the Bahamas
Hmmm we have never felt like we needed one.
Maybe as we travel farther distances.

“Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it”. Just as important as life jackets, etc. Imagine bad guys boarding your boat, having their way with Sierra, stealing everything. It happens, be prepared.
Hey guys, what are those white spacers between your hardtop bimini and the upright SS supports?
Either way is fine with me.
Really enjoyable to have you both share your experiences.
Why are your dagger boards up again? don't they make you faster?
You know the definition of a yacht race, don’t you? When two sailboats are both heading in more or less the same direction!
Maybe a combo of raw and music...
good videos , lovely boat,,,,,, but why dont you give that stern arch a coat of paint !!
Billy, can you tell if the new props make much of a difference?
Yes we def see a speed boost especially in light air!
You were in Charleston, SC & your headed to Cape Fear. NC? You headed to New York?
Yes! But we are already here haha videos are a little delayed!
Thank you that was most enjoyable, straight shooting and down to earth. Keep it up as were using you to dream on. From Australia.
No music. I watch your videos to hear you not the background music. It is distracting.
Thanks for the input!
Great video. Few questions: How do y’all shop around for marina rates? What’s your method of contacting them for information/vacancy/ etc?
online info, cruising guides, cell phones and even VHF radio.
Navionics usually has reviews and a little brief on the marina. If we have cell service we will also google. If not it is just luck of the draw!
Do you ever get seasick?
I am wishing for more detail. You left out the names of the places. Now, if they can talk about it in a guide book then you should talk about the places in your video.
What places are you referring to?
Well, you had talked about Charlston and Winah Bay but there were other places to dock that you talked about and did not say the name of.
Better without any background music.
Muito bommmmm, legal demais !!!! Tô sentindo falta das pescarias, no próximo vídeo manda um alô para o Brasil !!! Sou fã de vocês.
What do you use to store your boards on the rail like that?
We use a magma board mount :) amzn.to/2wTvDSc
With Florence out there. What do yall do when hurricanes come?
They have been in New York all summer, these videos are months behind.......
You guys need to get North
We are here already! Thank goodness! Praying for the Carolinas!
Cool can not belive thier are a few still on the Bahamas
You have some weather coming
How do you guys prepare for a potential hurricane? Do you move out of the way or brace for impact?
A little of both! Move into the safest spot possible and then brace for impact!
I miss the tula theme song
Im in North Myrtle Beach SC right on the ICW. Are yall passing by?
We are already in New York. Thank goodness! Praying for safety for everyone that is in Florence's path!
I missed the intro music
You two are awesome!
Thanks guys for my fix of paradise you are living the dream
Ive read Cats get charged double at the Marina, True?
because CATS can sometimes be twice as WIDE as a power boat, marinas might charge more. Depends on the layout of the docks.
Y'all sound like me, I would like to be out to our self as well. I would like me some a/c, could you have it on Adrenaline?
We could but we would need to have our honda generator with us at all times. We usually leave it in storage unless we are tackling projects.
thumbs up
Pelicans around? Should have had the fishing gear out.
Do you guys have any contingency plans if that storm comes up the coast?
Their videos are usually about three or more weeks old when they come out ...
More like three months old now.
@@DesertSenior Ahhh, thanks. I thought it was odd to be heading north in Sept
Do you ever dig for treasure? What is the most interesting item discovered on a beach?🤯
Jetty after she jumped off the dinghy and was missing for two hours :o
We would love to get a metal detector.. maybe someday!
AAA+
ahhhh....so sweet not to hear diesel engines in the background!
