Explaining your funding via a day in the life montage was a great idea and very well executed! Great editing! And really useful info. I love watching you two because you have such a great energy about you. Thanks!
The thoughtfulness that went into setting up the transitions for your editing was phenomenal. It's worth watching you every week just to see what creative ways you set up your cuts. Probably the best production/entertainment value I've ever seen on a TH-cam video. Nice job! I hope you can keep it up!
Finally the Atticus episode. So I binge watch theirs first and saw you 2 on theirs and as soon as I finished them all I started watching yours. I love them both. You each have your own unique ways of doing things so it’s great to see the different prospectives. Love you guys. You all rock.
As always, I love your videos.....we all do! I think one of the greatest thingest you contribute is the idea that the world isn't all that big. What do I mean. I watched project Adicus from the beginning as I did your channel. Now you're off sailing and meeting in for what for most of us is a far off corner of the world. You started off in New England they started off in Florida and now your together. Amazing! The number one thing is you are all such nice people and notoriously hard workers! You set an amazing example of what people can achieve if they only dare to try! Thanks for setting that example! God Bless You!
You two are such an inspiration. That you made all of this happen with such a limited set of funds really lends hope to my ambitions. Thank you. By the way, this is one of your best videos so far. It would have been easy to sit in front of the screen and answer the money question, but instead you chose to apply your imagination and creativity to the task. Keep up the good work.
After discovering you a few weeks ago, I went back and have been binge-watching since the beginning. We did the full-time traveling thing for 5 years via RV in the US. During that time, I found the Wynns when they were still RV-ing. I love the water and have taken many commercial cruises to the islands, but I have never sailed. I think we're too old to work as hard as y'all do so I enjoy living vicariously through the few sailing channels I've stumbled upon while watching the Wynns. Most I don't ever watch again, but you two are just so authentic and natural and I'm thoroughly enjoying watching your channel from the very beginning. I just thought I'd take a minute to say hey and wish you more flat seas and flat sails!
I enjoyed that a lot. I didn't realize you guys were so broke back when you first got started. Thanks for sharing and it's been awesome to follow along for so long!
Now that was a top-notch video. Funny, informative, extremely well edited, and must have taken a lot of time and planning to coordinate, film and edit. Very well done. You two should be very proud of what you've accomplished. Love seeing your videos. Keep up the awesome work!
So I watched Project Atticuis first before I watched you two. I am so hooked on Sailing Uma and Project Atticuis that I am In the process of purchasing my sailboat and sailing the world. Its 5-7-21 now and the pandemic is slowly lifting in the U.S. My 2 year mark is in play. My youngest kid finishes high school to run off to college. Both Sailing Uma and Project Atticuis showed me through the lens that this can happen and I can do this. I will be doing this solo as to my daughter is my only family. So it will be tough and I will keep watching and following you all.. Thank You So Much!!!!!! Oh And Dan watch your head. I had an injury the same and it has complicated things in my life as well. I will be wearing a safety helmet at my doctors request. Be safe all of you. Retired USCG.........
What a masterpiece of a video! I am pretty very few people notice the amount of work you have put into filming and cutting this video. I have never seen seven minutes of coherent talk about money in so many shots, so many locations, and such a long period of time.
Love you guys! Look forward to each new episode! Especially love how Dan manages to Macgyver everything that breaks or needs repair. Just when I think he has met a problem he can't beat he pulls another rabbit out of the hat! Cheers and fair winds from Canada
Hey guys, great vid! I know it is probably boring and invasive feeling, but this is probably one of the most important subjects for those who actually are gonna "go for it". You have tons of great, entertaining, videos for those who for whatever reason will never cast off the lines, be it obligations, health etc. This one is really for the ones who want to do it too. I bought a 29' boat a year ago, fixed it up, and traded it for a 35 footer that needs work. Heading down to Florida Friday to start fixing it up. Good luck on your next phase of your cruising life.
Dan, bicarbonate of soda and crushed dried mint to brush your teeth! My husband had problems with his teeth for years. Sensitivity! He no longer suffers from that sense he has been brushing for 4 years with bicarbonate of soda and crushed dried mint! Also one tea spoon of bicarbonate of soda and dried sage finely crushed is a natural bacteria killer, I had inflamed tonsils and began gargling with the bicarbonate of soda and sage after a night spent with almost zero sleep, I gargled 4 times the next day and slept well that night, yet I did continue for three days with the sage and avoided going to the doc's! That same mix is also great to fight all bacterial infections ie cuts, bites and even a soak a week for smelly feet with just bicarbonate and warm water and it works like a charm! just want to say that every little helps!
This is your best video to date. The transparency in this video should serve as a benchmark for all other TH-camrs that make videos about financing. Thank you for your honesty and for also showing everyone that traveling does not have to be a great expense. Learning to live within your means is the key.
You two are a riot with the interjecting between each other's conversation. Love it. Like an old couple does. But you have it now...I can only imagine in a few years.
ooohh fancy editing! Very enjoyable. I love watching these sailing channels evolve and try out new things and you guys are up there on trying new things. Keep it up.
Really impressive professional grade video. I subscribed and look forward to future chapters (videos). Thanks for posting your life experience. P.S. Sorry your root canal was painful. Had mine done in SEA for appx. 275. USD. Absolutely zero pain and 4 1/2 years on all is good.
Looks like you guys are having a great time! Great video! My girl and I just purchased our 44 footer last week. She's blue water ready and has everything you would ever need (minus the RO and Solar Panels which I will be adding in a week). We will be out there in the next few months, hope to see you all out there soon!
You just earned two subs with this video. We are thinking of doing what you are and with how much info you gave in this video it really helps get a clear picture of what we can do.
You kids have the right idea, NO DEBT! My parents went through the Great Depression and you couldn't get them to borrow money. When they built their first home, they'd build until their money ran out and stop until they had saved more. As for dentists I dislike going also but like I tell our kids/grand-kids,(but they don't listen)(:
Just found your posts. A great story. I see you are in Great Britain now. Awesome. Before we got our Fleming we sailed a Pearson 39-2 for years in the Chesapeake and New England. A great boat that will always get you home. But even more that that your dedication and tenacity make you the best of the best amount “coastal cruisers”. When you said that at the boat show I cracked up. Looking forward to the day we cross paths at sea. 😎
Excellent video!!! Not sure where I fall in your 4 different categories but... I’m and an old guy who lost all of my savings (and my sailboat) in an investment that I made 6 years ago. When I say “all of my savings” I mean all of it! Plus all of my personal belongings that were in a storage unit that I couldn’t afford when I got behind. So they auctioned everything off. My childhood dream to sail the world was all but gone and I wasn’t getting any younger. But somehow perseverance has paid off. Jump ahead to now... with the help of many wonderful people I’ve somehow managed to find myself in a position to buy another boat and set sail this fall. Your video proved to me that it can be done with a small amount of income and a strong belief in yourself. There are many who call me crazy and irresponsible for doing what I’m about to do but there are many more who have encouraged me to go for it. I’ve essentially lost six year of my sailing life but gained a new perspective of what’s important in life. So thank you for helping me to believe and for keeping me inspired. Keep doing what you’re doing.
I love that you are transparent with your patron channel earnings - you deserve the success and every penny people want to send you. You may be visiting much more expensive destinations in the future but I think with your frugal nature I think in a few more years you will have saved enough to do this indefinitely. Maybe one day you'll run Uma Nation training schools and expeditions to share the love and sense of adventure. Or we just binge watch and do it ourselves! Seriously though, given that you can effectively make a pretty decent living doing this now why would you ever stop? Have you ever had that thought or contemplated a future time when you'd have it?
great episode guys. Thanks for including the ST logo on the board there. It was great to finally get to see UMA. Glad the dentist worked out for you too Dan. Yazmin really is awesome!
Super enjoyed this video! Fantastic idea to do a day in the life while discussing the financial journey. - Thank you for allowing us to get a closet look at the life and what it takes to live it as far as money goes. 😃. Also proud of you guys for stopping to take the time for yourselves! Can't go anywhere if your body breaks down 💞
Thank you guys so much for this channel! You reminded me to have a positive outlook on life and a big dream, when I felt that I lost that and needed it the most. When I'm in the Caribbean some day, sun-downers are on me! Cheers!
first video that I see about money and finances while sailing that I do not get bored very good edition of the video made me like and subscribe congratulations.
For me, this was so well done with the passing off to one another for the different segments. Commercials use the same technique with great effectiveness! I had asked previously what you did for a living, but I remember now that you are BOTH architects. I pursued electrical engineeringand later in life my interests turned to architecture as I enjoyed designing my own houses. I am doing a lot of binge watching and only have a little over 100 steps to go to catch up! But THEN I will have to wait a week for the next one!
Ok, for the challenges.... One of the things I always thought would be cool to do would be an island cove poker run. You would need several people for this one. Maybe a bunch of the locals and then tip them at each station? So you set up 5 different stations where you would draw a card (each station a distance away that would require a full speed run in the dinghy). There would be someone manning each station. And at each station there would be some sort of unique drink that you would need to consume before moving onto the next station. By the time you go through all 5 stations you would have a full hand of cards and you can proceed to the finish. Now here's the kicker. You can discard 2, but you'll need to get in the dinghy and haul ass back to 2 DIFFERENT stations to get 2 new cards. Continuing with the drink ritual at the respective stations. Then haul ass back to the finish and put your cards in. The winner gets a prize and the losers take a shot of something straight from the bottle. POKER RUN VIA DINGHY!
I certainly understand Dan's reluctance to visit a dentist. I be baby and I don't mind saying it. I wouldn't feel that way if there was no pain....like putting me to sleep as I walk thru the office door would help. Uma has quite a loyal following and her monetary worth is much higher than the dollars spent on her, so far.....
I mean this in all honesty young lady ---------------------- you are soo beautiful. Completely unpretentious in your enjoyment of life. Your partner fits right in. Forgive me for my intruding but reliving what is so wonderful by watching you two is a real treasure. Thank You Both!
Very interesting. This is the first video in the series that I've seen before. Watching from episode 1 and eventually will catch up with everything else.
I'm watching your channel for the first time! I'm already really enjoying it! Thank you! Also, I had a kidney stone a few years ago and my four hour visit to emergency was $8,000. I'm so ready to sail away from this crazy place!
I feel your pain. Just watched this episode after coming home from the dentist myself. All numbed up and can't eat unless I want to chew my cheek. Lol. Heal up well. There are things to do and competitions to win!
Great summary on the hard work and sacrifice you both made to build a life of successful, entertaining, and fun to watch cruisers. Keep up the good work! Cheers!
Great episode guy’s. Hope all heals well from the dentist appointment DAN and follow up only for the crowns and no more drilling or grinding. Enjoy your time in Isla, we love that little island!!
What about a scrubbing-the-under-water-hull-challenge? Or setting-anchor-competition? Heaving-to-contest? Not any of those from aspect of speed, but from quality!
Hey guys, great video as usual. We’re just wondering why you think you’ll need to use marinas here in Europe? We have full insurance just in case but we manage to anchor out all season (March to November). Most people go to a marina or haul out for the cold winter. Let us know if you need any tips for Europe 😊 we can recommend the warmer spots for winter and more 😊 Really hope you’ll come into the Med - it’d be awesome to meet you!
Can't help remembering that Uma came with a $20 bill in one of the draws - almost as if she new that's what you'd be leaving with :-)! Brilliant editing in this video - loved the Teleporting Dan (had to rewind to spot the cut!) Thanks for addressing the aspect of money, I know it must be annoying to be asked so much but despite doing my best to avoid them you end up with liabilities (couches!) so money is often the limiting factor. Now I need to go see a dentist...
That was a seamless "Day in the life..." style video while discussing the money side of life. Brilliant editing guys. A good safety practice challenge: Each boat make an emergency rudder and do a short race using it.
Oh Dentist visits! The dread makes me ill! Hope they did a good job on your choppers. It was interesting hearing your financials. I can't believe what a roller coaster they have been. You mentioned architecual projects, explain please. When will is the Big Jump across the Atlantic going to be? Uma is looking so very nice and well cared for. You have done a great job on her.
When I feel myself losing motivation I watch this video and I remember something important: I'm saving every penny so I can buy a boat and begin sailing debt free. Me and my S/O are thinking the best way, for us, is to work for a while, then sail for a while. Mainly because we love spending a LOT of time in areas to learn everything we can about the area and learn how it is to really live there.
Sounds like a great plan!! We've met people who spend almost a year in each country they visit. 10 yr in the Caribbean so far and they weren't board at all!
I found your video very inspiring, I recently been thinking of selling my power boat, and start shopping for a sail boat. Plan to retire next year at age 52. My new plan is to rent my house out and live full time on a sailboat.
I seem to have become a fan, you guys are great. So here's a challenge. A seamanlike one of course. Who can do the fastest drunken eye splice (drunken splicer, not drunken rope) must be at least five tucks, any size rope.
Do not leave the area until your sure the crown is fitted correctly . So after use hot and cold food and see how it goes . Fitting and occlusion is critical. Nice vid
great that you shared some of the hard times like dentists with the good like hanging with your sailing family. again you 4 are all inspiring. cant wait to see the chalege
What a great video! I love what you did here by showing the daily routine while talking about the humdrum of finances. An interesting topic but you made the video notable, memorable. Great job...again! P.S. Pretty cute for Fiona! lol
FINALLY, someone willing to share some real hard numbers. THANK YOU! I'm amazed at how frugal you have been. I guess when you get older, you are more concerned about all sorts of things and need more luxuries. :-)
Brilliant I loved your editing. I had a long dental procedure once.. Possibly root canal.. I went to sleep and nearly bit my dentist. So don't stress..
This was SUCH a good video I love the editing! And it was really eye opening considering the you guys did it with such little money. It makes me really wanna buy a boat. Thank You Uma!
Nice work on the vid. 3 ideas:Try to find out which person can climb the highest up the mast unassisted. Use a safety line and harness support of course. Knot tying contest, how many tied properly in 2 minutes. And, if you're really bold, in teams of two, be the fastest to stem the flow of water by blocking an open seacock (i.e. hole) with a fothering sail! Have someone ready to close the seacock before water goes above the sole!
When I became a nomad, it was not what I was expecting from life, it just happened. I was broke and first I thought about getting a sailingboat but it was financial not possible. I had a $300 budget monthly. Because I lost everything except my cloth on my body and a few little thing, I got new stuff and a backpack and startet a minimalistic life and became a nomad. That is a reason I love to watch your Videos and your Videos are inspiration for me. So with your videos and what I learn out of this, I hope I might be able to make this first step, I could not, one day. For everybody who read this, save the standard comments about who did something wrong, my situation is because I became a victim of crime, followed up by a victim of justice and then in all together a victim of racism. So, because my mother came as a refugee to my country they put me into this stereotype. I don't want to talk about this anymore, on my webpage I did write a little about it. Thank you for the Videos and inspiration!

Explaining your funding via a day in the life montage was a great idea and very well executed! Great editing! And really useful info. I love watching you two because you have such a great energy about you. Thanks!
The production quality, editing, pacing, all of it now since they began has gotten SO good!
The thoughtfulness that went into setting up the transitions for your editing was phenomenal. It's worth watching you every week just to see what creative ways you set up your cuts. Probably the best production/entertainment value I've ever seen on a TH-cam video. Nice job! I hope you can keep it up!

When you've got the skill and confidence that Dan and Kiki have it's easy to be ambitious. ; )

broke at sea...
Now that was a top-notch video. Funny, informative, extremely well edited, and must have taken a lot of time and planning to coordinate, film and edit. Very well done. You two should be very proud of what you've accomplished.
Love seeing your videos.
Keep up the awesome work!
never. stop. -- y'all always make my thursday nights end with a smile!

I love how you out that segment together. The only thing missing was Dan on the toilet reading a newspaper 😂
Love you guys! Look forward to each new episode! Especially love how Dan manages to Macgyver everything that breaks or needs repair. Just when I think he has met a problem he can't beat he pulls another rabbit out of the hat! Cheers and fair winds from Canada
Awesome video guys! I love the complete rundown of your beginning! It's videos like these that inspire me and keep me working on my boat adventures!
Nice delivery of the budget and costs.
May the cash flow like seas under your Hull.
Well done. I love how you performed your chores while explaining your finances. Keep up the fabulous videos. :D
Hey guys, great vid! I know it is probably boring and invasive feeling, but this is probably one of the most important subjects for those who actually are gonna "go for it". You have tons of great, entertaining, videos for those who for whatever reason will never cast off the lines, be it obligations, health etc. This one is really for the ones who want to do it too.

Thank you for your honesty and for also showing everyone that traveling does not have to be a great expense. Learning to live within your means is the key.
I started watching your videos lately and I’m addicted. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey ❤️
People do not understand how much work you guys put in these videos
good job btw
I loved this episode/step. It wasn't corny at all. You shared yourselves in such a real way, as you always do. All the best to you!
Loved the whistling song. That should be your theme music for your permanent intro. This video was lots of fun AND informative!
You two are a riot with the interjecting between each other's conversation. Love it. Like an old couple does. But you have it now...I can only imagine in a few years.
Great video! The Project Atticus folks are brilliant at getting work while sailing. It's cool your meeting up with them. Thanks.
I really like the way you stitched this episode together. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you!
Your sharing and honesty in the experience is what makes these videos so special.
ooohh fancy editing! Very enjoyable. I love watching these sailing channels evolve and try out new things and you guys are up there on trying new things. Keep it up.
Possibly the best and most useful video I have seen in YT so far about sailing... Thank you and good luck...
Really impressive professional grade video. I subscribed and look forward to future chapters (videos). Thanks for posting your life experience.
P.S. Sorry your root canal was painful. Had mine done in SEA for appx. 275. USD. Absolutely zero pain and 4 1/2 years on all is good.

My 2 favorite channels together! Awesome! Maybe I’m missing a few videos, but your boat interior is looking better than ever.
Wow...your production/editing game just stepped up a notch. Most impressive indeed 📷👍 Love the channel, love the episode.
You kids have the right idea, NO DEBT! My parents went through the Great Depression and you couldn't get them to borrow money. When they built their first home, they'd build until their money ran out and stop until they had saved more.

By far your best edited, most exciting video yet. You covered in one video what other channels do in 4. Great job.
great episode guys. Thanks for including the ST logo on the board there. It was great to finally get to see UMA. Glad the dentist worked out for you too Dan. Yazmin really is awesome!

Very interesting. This is the first video in the series that I've seen before. Watching from episode 1 and eventually will catch up with everything else.
You two are getting so dang good at editing and telling a story. What a fun episode!
I'm watching your channel for the first time! I'm already really enjoying it! Thank you! Also, I had a kidney stone a few years ago and my four hour visit to emergency was $8,000. I'm so ready to sail away from this crazy place!
Great episode. They actual quality of the videos just seems to keep getting better! Good work Kika
Great episode - great information on your cruising costs - and that part of the video was the most stylish segment you've posted so far.
Loved the transitions! Very fun video!
you keep on getting better and better at this. cheers from poland!
I feel your pain. Just watched this episode after coming home from the dentist myself. All numbed up and can't eat unless I want to chew my cheek. Lol. Heal up well. There are things to do and competitions to win!
Great summary on the hard work and sacrifice you both made to build a life of successful, entertaining, and fun to watch cruisers. Keep up the good work! Cheers!
Great episode guy’s. Hope all heals well from the dentist appointment DAN and follow up only for the crowns and no more drilling or grinding. Enjoy your time in Isla, we love that little island!!
One of the best edited videos ive seen, fantastic way to deliver your message... really enjoyed this video :)
great video! wish you had lifelines on that boat. cringey to think about sailing transatlantic without them!
What about a scrubbing-the-under-water-hull-challenge? Or setting-anchor-competition? Heaving-to-contest? Not any of those from aspect of speed, but from quality!
This was one of the best editing of a youtube video I have ever seen. Very well done. Challenge: zipline between moorings. . . .that would be fun.
Hey guys, great video as usual. We’re just wondering why you think you’ll need to use marinas here in Europe? We have full insurance just in case but we manage to anchor out all season (March to November). Most people go to a marina or haul out for the cold winter. Let us know if you need any tips for Europe 😊 we can recommend the warmer spots for winter and more 😊 Really hope you’ll come into the Med - it’d be awesome to meet you!
Can't help remembering that Uma came with a $20 bill in one of the draws - almost as if she new that's what you'd be leaving with :-)! Brilliant editing in this video - loved the Teleporting Dan (had to rewind to spot the cut!) Thanks for addressing the aspect of money, I know it must be annoying to be asked so much but despite doing my best to avoid them you end up with liabilities (couches!) so money is often the limiting factor. Now I need to go see a dentist...
That was a seamless "Day in the life..." style video while discussing the money side of life. Brilliant editing guys.
A good safety practice challenge: Each boat make an emergency rudder and do a short race using it.
How about best sand sculpture or castle?
Oh Dentist visits! The dread makes me ill! Hope they did a good job on your choppers. It was interesting hearing your financials. I can't believe what a roller coaster they have been. You mentioned architecual projects, explain please. When will is the Big Jump across the Atlantic going to be? Uma is looking so very nice and well cared for. You have done a great job on her.
As always, you guys are awesome. I like the new camera techniques you are using. Very creative. Keep it up.
You guys are a hoot... neat format for a video. Loved every minute. Great camera angles too.
Wow I am impressed, I love the editing of this video, fluent, coherent and definitely, it keeps you connected till the end, great job guys!
When I feel myself losing motivation I watch this video and I remember something important: I'm saving every penny so I can buy a boat and begin sailing debt free.
Me and my S/O are thinking the best way, for us, is to work for a while, then sail for a while. Mainly because we love spending a LOT of time in areas to learn everything we can about the area and learn how it is to really live there.
Sounds like a great plan!! We've met people who spend almost a year in each country they visit. 10 yr in the Caribbean so far and they weren't board at all!
I found your video very inspiring, I recently been thinking of selling my power boat, and start shopping for a sail boat. Plan to retire next year at age 52. My new plan is to rent my house out and live full time on a sailboat.
52 is too young to " retire".
Life becomes boring at 62 if you retire at 52.
If you sit on your ass and dont get active then yeah it will get boring
SO HAPPY I FOUND THIS CHANNEL
You guys Rock. Your creativity is greatly appreciated- thanks and keep up the fun, happy and healthy life.
I seem to have become a fan, you guys are great. So here's a challenge. A seamanlike one of course. Who can do the fastest drunken eye splice (drunken splicer, not drunken rope) must be at least five tucks, any size rope.
Do not leave the area until your sure the crown is fitted correctly . So after use hot and cold food and see how it goes . Fitting and occlusion is critical. Nice vid
I agree, make sure it absolutely fits perfectly. However I am not sure the purpose of the hot and cold food/drink?
Nice job on the birdman 1 shot. Keep it up, love the info as that was what I was wondering the most.
Your insight for space reorganization is impressive. What were your skill levels B4 undertaking
Love your videos ,you are so full of life,every episode is like a vacation in the sun.
great that you shared some of the hard times like dentists with the good like hanging with your sailing family. again you 4 are all inspiring. cant wait to see the chalege
Thank you so much for this video!!!!
You helped me with a lot of doubts, or maybe "little fears"...
What a great video! I love what you did here by showing the daily routine while talking about the humdrum of finances. An interesting topic but you made the video notable, memorable. Great job...again!
P.S. Pretty cute for Fiona! lol
Excellent episode! Love the editing. Super fun to watch!
Really, really nice to see some personal interaction between you two. Great video. A big thanks. Stay safe (and healthy) :-)
Our favorite episode yet!
I thought so too!!!
Nice Raymarine wheel pilot. Sailing Uma is moving to the Med and wants to sail the French canals. Nifty cinematography!!!
FINALLY, someone willing to share some real hard numbers. THANK YOU! I'm amazed at how frugal you have been. I guess when you get older, you are more concerned about all sorts of things and need more luxuries. :-)
What was that flash (12:43) ... and complete unanimous excitement ... about ?
educated guess: flash camera on a timer
Since timer was taking way ... way too much time, the flash apparently triggered by pointing a "gun" at it :)
very cleverly done. you guys haves evolved into great sailors as well asgreat videographers.
Loved this episode, im still way behind on the episodes but catching up slowly 😀
Hull scraping tag team time trial, one team member of both teams on opposite sides of the same boat. X 2 boats
Awesome way of telling a story. nicely done!
Brilliant I loved your editing. I had a long dental procedure once.. Possibly root canal.. I went to sleep and nearly bit my dentist. So don't stress..
This was SUCH a good video I love the editing! And it was really eye opening considering the you guys did it with such little money. It makes me really wanna buy a boat. Thank You Uma!
Nice work on the vid. 3 ideas:Try to find out which person can climb the highest up the mast unassisted. Use a safety line and harness support of course. Knot tying contest, how many tied properly in 2 minutes. And, if you're really bold, in teams of two, be the fastest to stem the flow of water by blocking an open seacock (i.e. hole) with a fothering sail! Have someone ready to close the seacock before water goes above the sole!
WOW! I THINK YOUR DOING IT RIGHT. also, marvelous travails and such. Adorable couple.
From California
I love Isla! How cool that you were there. Was just turned on to your channel.
When I became a nomad, it was not what I was expecting from life, it just happened. I was broke and first I thought about getting a sailingboat but it was financial not possible. I had a $300 budget monthly. Because I lost everything except my cloth on my body and a few little thing, I got new stuff and a backpack and startet a minimalistic life and became a nomad. That is a reason I love to watch your Videos and your Videos are inspiration for me. So with your videos and what I learn out of this, I hope I might be able to make this first step, I could not, one day.
For everybody who read this, save the standard comments about who did something wrong, my situation is because I became a victim of crime, followed up by a victim of justice and then in all together a victim of racism. So, because my mother came as a refugee to my country they put me into this stereotype. I don't want to talk about this anymore, on my webpage I did write a little about it.
Thank you for the Videos and inspiration!
