Peter, the goodness of your heart is never-ending, it's an amazingly kind gesture and the next captain will be a fortunate one to have Freedom. Good on ya! ❤
@SAILING into FREEDOM if I was ready to sail away, I'd definitely put in a video! 😊 I'm sure she'll have many more great adventures and it'll be thanks to your good will!
I love this. Theres no better person to get the bloody break he deserved, than Plucky, The Tarzan of the Sea ;) . Such a wholesome ending to a new beginning and another adventure. All the best Peter, Really looking forward to the upcoming content. I hope this comment finds you safe and well in lovely Greece. Tc mate.
You PLUCKY, are my very favourite of all the sailing Utube channels. Number 1 Reason is your very good content with a great story line. AND NO COMMERCIALS. I think that is what makes your hard won success so amazing and good. Your cinematography, production value, and story line, and NO COMMERCIALS. Did I say that again. Must be just that important. Think of the great content that will come of this lovely give-away. Keep it real Plucky, because there has to be one out there that hasn't sold his soul. Best to your new chapter of from another cruising sailing man.
What an act of generosity Peter , I hope Freedom goes to someone with some decent skills and not just a dreamer doomed to failure , I'm out ( too old and dealing with an even older parent ) I hope you'll find the person(s) who are the right fit , all the best mate 🙂
You are by far the best sailing instructor I have watched, especially reading weather. And you are so generous when it comes to the islanders you have recycled to. This giveaway will boost your karma and vibes…
You are such a good egg. I have always been impressed with how you could be in dire straights, yet still helping the locals with sail cloth, spearfishing equipment and repairs, mask parts and repairs, and even food. I think you have been paying it forward somehow in almost every episode. This is just another example of the positive impact you have on others. Best wishes on your Greece boat build. Just one thing, for the future crew's sake -- don't run out of pineapples! 😂
What a wonderful thing to do, I'm not a believer in Karma, but whatever it takes for a person to think of the consequences of their actions as it relates to others in the now and future is a great thing. You have had some wonderful and sometimes frightening experiences, but in the end, you persevered and grew. During the lockdown you shared your story with us as we could only imagine. You helped so many people you do not even come close to knowing. Thank you John
What a great idea , the deserving person(s) will have a interesting story I’m sure. This is why people chipped in for your kickstarter , your a top bloke
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM hahaha 🤣, you’re got a big challenge now , maybe it will be your biggest being in a foreign town , and not in nature . But it will be worth it 😁
Good on you Plukky...what an adventure, my daughter went on your cat in Qld, at the very begining before you had the you tube Chanel, she said you were very funny.
You have a lot of nice and well-deserved comments Plucky and you will make someone happy as they continue the Freedom journey, but it is much more than that. Heaps of folk will light up their dreams and send you a video and although most may be a little sad to miss out on Freedom, you will have relit their fuse and they will find another path to realise their dreams. So you are giving away one boat but also making multitudes of people happy! I have loved your approach to life since the first video - long may it continue!
I'll take it.. I've bin saving up for a new boat, so I have enough for restauration! I live in Sweden - but I can swim If I have to >< hehe! It's a fine looking vessil, and it's not to big ;)
With this offer, you have given people a perspective that they could only achieve after many years of saving. Great respect for this generous way. It would be fun to see all the video requests in one episode if people agree.
A very kind offer Plucky, I hope someone very deserving and appreciative scores it. My crew of Veterans discussed sailing over to Europe via Greece to give you a hand with your project (we had to justify a reason!!) but that's now put on hold due to me coming down with a Pulmonary Embolism, I have just got out of Hospital here on the Gold Coast. The trip is not of the books, if the Doc' gives me the all clear and I'm off the blood thinners, well?? We have many and varied skills that would help you immensely. We have followed you from the start. Best of luck with it all mate. SV Mystic - Sailing for Veterans/EMS. :)
The end of an(other) era, at least this one didn't sink! Honestly I love your channel, it has taught me the fun in the sun life is full of real life pain in the @ss problems, and boredom, loneliness, monotony. Its a grand adventure for certain, but an adventure is much better with meaning and purpose. I'm happy for your new adventure! good luck peter!
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM any luck finding a friend in greece?? Im frozen in here.. for 5 months were under many feet of snow. i find things to do ofcourse, but i cant wander and explore the wilderness by foot and canoe, im ready for spring and sweet freedom yet again!!
It's really nice to see so many comments saying how cool giving away a boat is without an endless gimmie gimmie gimmie. I just read through quite a few comments and haven't seen any of you saying anything other than things like "Awesome!" It's really refreshing. To be completely honest, I have never watched any of this guy's videos and stumbled across it as one of those "watch this next" prompts after watching a LaVagabond video, but you really are a bunch of decent humans. Perhaps the last bunch of decent humans. (and no, I'm not putting in a pitch either) Cracking effort, last of the human humans! Give yourself a pat on the back, and buy some homeless person a beer or a subway footlong sandwich or dontate 25$ to the fred hollows foundation or something. Don't let it end here. *not brought to you by beer or subway
Plucky, you are awesome! I had a great time hanging out with you at the Annapolis boat show this year. Your spirit and the way that you make people feel around you is special! Your jokes are top notch too! This is such a great gift and you are doing the right thing by paying it forward. Good luck to you and I hope you will come back to the boat show again this year. Jeff and I had a blast meeting you in person! I promise we will not put you back in a powerless camper!
I have slept in worse...I slept under someone elses 4WD once on a rainy night once.....and I didnt know them so if I heard the motor i had to skidaddle
Awesome. I got my first sailboat as a simular giveaway. Now 9 yrs later I'm still a full time liveaboard. This is how you make someone's dream come true! Again just awesome!
Hey Plukster. Good on you for gifting boat to some deserving one(s). I'll still be sending in my tribute fees every month. ;-) Do good, be safe. I'm looking forward to watching you and Lisa building the new boat.
Good on you Plukky... thanks for the entertainment and knowledge over the years, always enjoyed your adventures.... nice work handing Freedom over to someone to follow the dream and their own adventures.... looking forward to the next chapter or should i say chapters...
You are so creative and have such a great heart! I think a criteria of the new owner show be that they start a youtube channel and keep the same name on the boat. I will keep following you, but would like to follow the old girl on her new adventures! Thanks for everything!
Amazing thing to do Plucky ! It will come back ten fold it’s all about moving forward and spreading the love in the sailing community! As you would say Good on ya !
Nice one plunky(😂) !! And what a light has opened up at the tunnel end .... You so deserve it . !! Enjoyed the budget , and ultra budget adventures and looking forward to the build and forth coming super adventures .
Plukky, you did a good job spelling out the rules. They are fair. Including your patrons in the decision is brilliant. Also, a clause that the boat must be owned for a certain period of time might be worth adding. I would hate for you to give it to someone and them turn around and sell it. I hope Freedom goes to a deserving sailor. Thanks for contributing your former home. I hope this can be considered a charitable tax deductible.
Yes I thought of that but how can you police it... Have a lien on it? Tricky. But that seems to be the way of the world.... Some good is trying to be done and then someone turns it to bad....I was never meant for this world
Great job Plukky! I hope a deserving person would take over the captain’s hat for Freeeeeeeeedom and I hope they start their own TH-cam channel so we can all keep an eye on the boat. You’re a legend with a huge heart!
Plucky you have no idea how happy I am that you're happy now seriously bro I remember some bad times you were going through it just to see you happy makes me happy
Thanks Jason....I suppose then that if I said I was a bit lonely right now that would stuff things up a little . Never got lonely in nature but being in a country full of people and not knowing anyone is not what I am used to. Sorry to wreck your happiness 😐
I've dreamed of such a thing as owning a boat like this and sailing away, but... well, that's to remain a dream, but I can live vicariously! I've followed you from just before you lost your first boat and taken great inspiration from you ever since. I wish you all the best in whatever comes next for you, Peter!
Hope Freedom goes to a good home and to someone who will love her like you did/do. Sad to see the endof her after giving us so much entertainment over the years. Good luck in all you do.
Best of luck with finding the right person. I would apply but it may not be suitable to do what I plan to do. I don't have a boat yet and busy with work (navy). At the moment I am learning solo sailing and aim to attempt to break the solo sailing circumnavigation record in about 10 years time once I have enough experience built up. Love your videos. It's great to see honest sincere people out there. :) Again, best of luck. Kind regards, - Sean Jackson.
Anyone interested in obtaining a Free boat should understand that the cost of owning and operating a boat starts immediately . Cost like yard fees ( daily ) , registration , insurance , mooring when back in the water , and maintainenece . He mentioned needing to redo the anti-fouling paint . Just for fun call your local boat shop and ask how much for 2 gallons of bottom paint . best of luck and smooth sailing .
Damn it Plucky, I just turned 122 so I guess I am out🤣. Good on ya for doing this. I've been following you for years and I can say I don't know of a happier caveman. Keep it up and enjoy the next challenge.
thats cool really cool, i would have loved to participate and tell you my story, i would have the ressources and contact and harbor to put it, but there is no way i can bring it in across the pond, so good luck to evvery participant and wish bon vent bon quart to the the next owner
Well Plucky, I've been working real hard watching past episodes, You are quite interesting. I'm thinking some time in the near future, you're going to write a screen play of Plucky and his amazing escapades. Disney will definitely pick it up. Anyways I have a quick question for you. If I ended up down south with a sailboat, would it be possible to find someone to go out with me for a time to teach me enough to go it alone? Sailing. At a meager rate of course. It's not necessary to answer me, but who knows. Thanks Plucky. Elle.
Sailing isn't rocket science, it is easy.. you will pick it up quickly and there are lots of people everywhere that have some experience that want to sail ... No need to even go south
You blew me away plucky I thought it would go to your protégées who have sailed with your journey but I'll send in a video g'day as well good luck with your new adventure
Love that your paying it forward.. My luck makes yours look like child's play so I think I'll decline your offer of a free boat for fear of a perpetual tsunami following mes as soon as I board my new boat.. been watching a long while now and have to say good luck on your new path. I do hope it see you sailing again at some point. I'm a few videos behind but last one I watched your plan was to build an Ecco friendly fast cat.. hope that's still the plan..
Love that you are giving the boat away! I asked Jess from the 9to5less channel but her boyfriend is taking care of his mom, so they can't do it. I know you will get lots of qualified applicants. Looking forward to your continuing journey and hopefully a new channel from whoever gets the boat!
Well i think im going to have to send you a video. Lost my boat this winter and i just came back from Colombia. Looks like your paying it forward. Good on ya.
Damn Plucky, i have recently been relegated to my first wheelchair, guessing on next lighting strike i could not fix the hole. That being said i am regrettably out. Really looking to next adventures, i kinda live through you. good luck!
You will definitely be missed... Indeed a great way to end your amazing youtube carrier, ending in true Plucky style very generous and real! Cheers for bringing us along, in the good times and in the bad... I am based in Athens so if there is anything I could help you with please don't hesitate to ask. Best of luck xx
Nice! Good luck with your next adventure and I hope you find just the right person to appreciate this gift. Really good to see you with a smile back on your face :)
Good luck and best to you sir. I will standby awaiting your next video series. You are correct . There are a crapload of sailing channels out there. But only one vlogger that looks like the GEICO caveman sailing a boat.
Is she claimed yet? I'll take her. Seriously. I don't know anything about sailing but I love the water and that part of the world. And I could move closer to my son in Costa Rica. I've been looking for a way to be closer to him. And I can learn to sail. You'll probably get my video later today. You're a good guy Plukky. Buena suerte, cuídate mucho.
No surprise here. The ultimate pay it forward. You’re gonna make someone who really needs a break get one. Good on ya Plukky! And all the best of luck in Greece.
I have watched first time….and i was sooo surprised,and so happy that humans like this exist and …This whole story is awesome to turn bad luck in something good and than giving all that „lucky oportnities“to someone else…woww i wish you find someone who deserves and getts same blessings like you did!!…Benetau called „LUCKY“…awwww awesome story im happy for all who can turn their lives on better even when all seems so desperate(and ohhhh so many desperados in world),may many more be blessed with turning their lifes on better!Good luck,best wishes
Just found this astonishing video. What an inspirational and selfless way to gently close the door on a chapter of one’s life and journey to the next. “Liked” and now subscribed, and also keen to view your previous video adventures and even keener to join you on your next.
Welcome aboard Ian. If you watch a few videos you may understand why I am doing this. I tell a little in this video but obviously no depth. It certainly has been interesting, and a long road indeed. You may like the Exile series where no country would allow us in during COVID. 4.5 Million hits over 9 parts. Lightning is also good so I am told.
I would absolutely LOVE it. I'm presently a full-time motorhome nomad, because I had to leave behind a 35' ketch that my Dad built which I inherited but was too far deteriorated for me to fix. A couple of drawbacks - I'm 78 and I couldn't afford to go to Australia (I assume) to pick it up. And I would be learning to sail from scratch, although I've studied about it and sailed a little with my Dad and once owned a Hobie cat.
Peter you have good stories to tell, and this is a very generous one, i'll send my video, hopefully i'll get the boat to sail the word as is my dream... what goes around comes around... good luck!
I love that your paying it forward❤Don't have a big channel, but I can like and comment to help with the algorithm, and hopefully, the right person will see this video and go on the adventure of a lifetime!!!!
Plukky, Love your channel! You are a winner, not an arm chair quarterback making excuses why something couldn't be done. You are loved by the sailing community and subscribers alike. I would love to sail with you for a day just to hear you say "C'mon People". Best of luck with "The Elcano Challenge" I hope you find a special person with an inspiring story to give Freedom to. Good Luck Mate!!
Awesome man, that your in a position to do this, always wanted a 70s model sailboat! Just never got the chance to sail much raising children. Now that they are grown up enough ,I can !
haha, would love a boat BUT, don't have a passport, can't sail a boat, and can't swim. love this and hope it goes to someone who will enjoy it for years to come.
PLUKY ! You have never ceased to amaze me ... "GOODS ONE MATE"! After watching this, I can't help but wonder just what you are gonna do next ! Pluky, you know the good LORD has an "EYE" out for people like you ... yeah ... He must be saving something REAL SPECIAL just for you ! God Bless you PLUKY !
You are such a good man Plucky!! Paying it forward will definitely pay you back in Good Fortune. I'm "Bad luck Guy" so I will stay on the hard😂 But I really enjoy your adventures and look forward to your next step.
To all my fellow followers. Please press like on this video so it gets more views. Also please go to his channel rewatch this video and and many as you have time for then do what to have to do today but keep his videos autoplaying in the background so his views gets bumped up.
Good on you mate, positive you'll find a deserving person or person's. I'm on my own journey, presently restoring a 1969 mercer 44 sloop. What a blast... enjoy your new build.
Wow, i would love this but i hate to be on camera nor would i be able to pay for any unexpected things :) I miss sailing and hope to one day be back at it, this would be such a gr8 start since i would want to explore other parts of the world! Got the time / posibility to be anywhere in the world at any time but not the funds :D Good luck to thos whom can participate.
I will say absolutely 1000% lightning is the one thing that scares me, I will take 60 footsies and 60 ft and troughs but lightning is definitely the one thing that scares my ass into hiding
Peter you don't know me. But you are in what looks like a better place. I started watching aboutthe time the Italian s where onboard. I dont think I missed a video since that time. 😂😢 cheers 🎉 Keep on Keeping On. ❤
Wow. Here be legends! I would throw my hat in, but everything is too messed up to even figure out where to start :) just know that you really are a legend. -craig from sunny Modbury South Australia (just so you know I have licence to declare legends)
Peter, the goodness of your heart is never-ending, it's an amazingly kind gesture and the next captain will be a fortunate one to have Freedom. Good on ya! ❤
Awww Deb thanks
@SAILING into FREEDOM if I was ready to sail away, I'd definitely put in a video! 😊
I'm sure she'll have many more great adventures and it'll be thanks to your good will!

What a wonderful thing to do ❤ I’m sorry I only just found your channel but looking forward to watching all the old vids and finding out who wins.
Hit me up you won a giveaway🔝🔝🔝
End of an era! I wish I was in a position to take part in this! But I will enjoy watching how it goes.
Write me up🔝🔝✔
Oww so tempting, if the yacht was in Australia I'd be up for it but Panama might be a bit too far to start my sailing journey...lol
Anyone interested in obtaining a Free boat should understand that the cost of owning and operating a boat starts immediately . Cost like yard fees ( daily ) , registration , insurance , mooring when back in the water , and maintainenece . He mentioned needing to redo the anti-fouling paint . Just for fun call your local boat shop and ask how much for 2 gallons of bottom paint . best of luck and smooth sailing .
True indeed Claude
It's called life my friend, especially on the water, stay strong my friend, in the long run it is so worth it. 😊 God bless. ✌🌏
Good on ya mate ❤ looking forward to the result 🎉
Damn it Plucky, I just turned 122 so I guess I am out🤣. Good on ya for doing this. I've been following you for years and I can say I don't know of a happier caveman. Keep it up and enjoy the next challenge.
thats cool really cool, i would have loved to participate and tell you my story, i would have the ressources and contact and harbor to put it, but there is no way i can bring it in across the pond, so good luck to evvery participant and wish bon vent bon quart to the the next owner
Well Plucky, I've been working real hard watching past episodes, You are quite interesting. I'm thinking some time in the near future, you're going to write a screen play of Plucky and his amazing escapades. Disney will definitely pick it up. Anyways I have a quick question for you. If I ended up down south with a sailboat, would it be possible to find someone to go out with me for a time to teach me enough to go it alone? Sailing. At a meager rate of course. It's not necessary to answer me, but who knows. Thanks Plucky. Elle.
Sailing isn't rocket science, it is easy.. you will pick it up quickly and there are lots of people everywhere that have some experience that want to sail ... No need to even go south
Good luck.... Go for it girl
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM Thank you Plucky.
i gave away my Tartan 27, and he sailed it to south florida,from ny. good job plucky.
You blew me away plucky I thought it would go to your protégées who have sailed with your journey but I'll send in a video g'day as well good luck with your new adventure
Wow, good on you. Wish I had the time right now to own a boat again, and I might apply. Someone will be very lucky to own her. Best of luck Peter.
Love that your paying it forward.. My luck makes yours look like child's play so I think I'll decline your offer of a free boat for fear of a perpetual tsunami following mes as soon as I board my new boat.. been watching a long while now and have to say good luck on your new path. I do hope it see you sailing again at some point. I'm a few videos behind but last one I watched your plan was to build an Ecco friendly fast cat.. hope that's still the plan..
Thanks Will, yes thats the plan...now you need to catch up and spread the word...good on ya mate!
Stumbled on this channel by chance. You are a good man, hope to meet you in Greece
Love that you are giving the boat away! I asked Jess from the 9to5less channel but her boyfriend is taking care of his mom, so they can't do it. I know you will get lots of qualified applicants. Looking forward to your continuing journey and hopefully a new channel from whoever gets the boat!
Well i think im going to have to send you a video. Lost my boat this winter and i just came back from Colombia.
Looks like your paying it forward.
Good on ya.
Damn Plucky, i have recently been relegated to my first wheelchair, guessing on next lighting strike i could not fix the hole. That being said i am regrettably out. Really looking to next adventures, i kinda live through you. good luck!
You will definitely be missed...
Indeed a great way to end your amazing youtube carrier, ending in true Plucky style very generous and real!
Cheers for bringing us along, in the good times and in the bad...
I am based in Athens so if there is anything I could help you with please don't hesitate to ask.
Best of luck xx
Yes please. Send me an email to peter@elcanoworldchallenge.org please
Nice! Good luck with your next adventure and I hope you find just the right person to appreciate this gift. Really good to see you with a smile back on your face :)
Good luck and best to you sir. I will standby awaiting your next video series. You are correct . There are a crapload of sailing channels out there. But only one vlogger that looks like the GEICO caveman sailing a boat.
Is she claimed yet? I'll take her. Seriously. I don't know anything about sailing but I love the water and that part of the world. And I could move closer to my son in Costa Rica. I've been looking for a way to be closer to him. And I can learn to sail. You'll probably get my video later today.
You're a good guy Plukky. Buena suerte, cuídate mucho.
Send it in.... Follow the rules in the description... There are only 3.... Well really only 2
No surprise here. The ultimate pay it forward. You’re gonna make someone who really needs a break get one. Good on ya Plukky! And all the best of luck in Greece.
DO NOT CONTACT THAT PERSON IT IS A SCAM IT IS NOT PLUKKY
A real legend of a man. What goes around, comes around!
DO NOT CONTACT THAT PERSON IT IS A SCAM IT IS NOT PLUKKY
I have watched first time….and i was sooo surprised,and so happy that humans like this exist and …This whole story is awesome to turn bad luck in something good and than giving all that „lucky oportnities“to someone else…woww i wish you find someone who deserves and getts same blessings like you did!!…Benetau called „LUCKY“…awwww awesome story im happy for all who can turn their lives on better even when all seems so desperate(and ohhhh so many desperados in world),may many more be blessed with turning their lifes on better!Good luck,best wishes
What a nice thing to say. Thank you.
Grand filanthropy Pluckky. There is is right person that will make Freedom their dream also. So clean, you really put the love in.
Peter, I really think the owners of San Blas Islands - The Goonas should be the new owners. Most deserving. André in Sydney
We have enjoyed Sailing into Freedom and we are looking forward to your next adventure. ⛵
Wow, will send you a video, all the best for the future!!!
Dude I wish you nothing but good sailing through life...a nice thing to do...almost makes me want to apply
Just found this astonishing video. What an inspirational and selfless way to gently close the door on a chapter of one’s life and journey to the next. “Liked” and now subscribed, and also keen to view your previous video adventures and even keener to join you on your next.
Welcome aboard Ian. If you watch a few videos you may understand why I am doing this. I tell a little in this video but obviously no depth. It certainly has been interesting, and a long road indeed. You may like the Exile series where no country would allow us in during COVID. 4.5 Million hits over 9 parts. Lightning is also good so I am told.
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM I'm on to it. ✌
Peter, I'm stunned, but in a good way!! This is a great idea!!!
A great way to pay it forward, some lucky person is going have a life changing experience from this. 👍🏻
DO NOT CONTACT THAT PERSON IT IS A SCAM IT IS NOT PLUKKY
@@StevoBolgakov
Reported him. 👍🏻
If I were a few years closer to retirement I would definitely apply. What a great opportunity for some Fortunate soul
I would absolutely LOVE it.
I'm presently a full-time motorhome nomad, because I had to leave behind a 35' ketch that my Dad built which I inherited but was too far deteriorated for me to fix.
A couple of drawbacks - I'm 78 and I couldn't afford to go to Australia (I assume) to pick it up. And I would be learning to sail from scratch, although I've studied about it and sailed a little with my Dad and once owned a Hobie cat.
Watch the video. It's in Panama
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM
Oh! Well then I wish to apply, if not too late.
Peter you have good stories to tell, and this is a very generous one, i'll send my video, hopefully i'll get the boat to sail the word as is my dream... what goes around comes around... good luck!
Write me up✍✍✍🔝
careful scammer!!!
Good on you Mate a real opportunity to a deserving person or couple hope you can find one and continue the legacy.
You’re a bloody hero mate. The best to you.
I love that your paying it forward❤Don't have a big channel, but I can like and comment to help with the algorithm, and hopefully, the right person will see this video and go on the adventure of a lifetime!!!!
good on you Yogi...I appreciate that my friend...top stuff
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM nothing but quality people❤❤
You are so generous Plukky. I hope you hear some great stories. Can't wait to see who she goes to 🤗💞
Me too! =D
Give it to Troy and Pascale...
We need them back on the water
I sure wish i could have it for a new beginning an a place to call my own but i would not want to be on TH-cam...
I'd apply, but I'm more of a landlubber. I'll enjoy your adventures from right here thank you very much. Good luck in the next part of your journey!
DO NOT CONTACT THAT PERSON IT IS A SCAM IT IS NOT PLUKKY
@@StevoBolgakov Oh I know, get these all the time. Thanks for looking out!
Plukky, Love your channel! You are a winner, not an arm chair quarterback making excuses why something couldn't be done. You are loved by the sailing community and subscribers alike. I would love to sail with you for a day just to hear you say "C'mon People". Best of luck with "The Elcano Challenge" I hope you find a special person with an inspiring story to give Freedom to. Good Luck Mate!!
Good on you CB. That is a very nice thing to say. I am going to bed with a smile thanks to you....c'mon people... Just slipped it in for good measure
Awesome man, that your in a position to do this, always wanted a 70s model sailboat! Just never got the chance to sail much raising children. Now that they are grown up enough ,I can !
Congratulations you have been selected among our lucky giveaway winners message me right away to claim your prize🔝🔝🔝✅✅✔✔
haha, would love a boat BUT, don't have a passport, can't sail a boat, and can't swim. love this and hope it goes to someone who will enjoy it for years to come.
PLUKY ! You have never ceased to amaze me ... "GOODS ONE MATE"! After watching this, I can't help but wonder just what you are gonna do next !
Pluky, you know the good LORD has an "EYE" out for people like you ... yeah ... He must be saving something REAL SPECIAL just for you !
God Bless you PLUKY !
Yes he does indeed...but he missed me with the lightning 🤣
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM ❤️
You are such a good man Plucky!!
Paying it forward will definitely pay you back in Good Fortune.
I'm "Bad luck Guy" so I will stay on the hard😂

Thanks Pat
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM I'm honoured to get a reply from you.
Good on you mate, positive you'll find a deserving person or person's. I'm on my own journey, presently restoring a 1969 mercer 44 sloop. What a blast... enjoy your new build.
Hit me up I've got something for you🔝🔝✔
Wow, i would love this but i hate to be on camera nor would i be able to pay for any unexpected things :)
I miss sailing and hope to one day be back at it, this would be such a gr8 start since i would want to explore other parts of the world!
Got the time / posibility to be anywhere in the world at any time but not the funds :D
Good luck to thos whom can participate.
I will say absolutely 1000% lightning is the one thing that scares me, I will take 60 footsies and 60 ft and troughs but lightning is definitely the one thing that scares my ass into hiding
This is a really good move Peter, top stuff!
Peter you don't know me. But you are in what looks like a better place. I started watching aboutthe time the Italian s where onboard. I dont think I missed a video since that time. 😂😢 cheers 🎉 Keep on Keeping On. ❤
Onwards my friend indeed
Is "paying it forward" the new "paying it back"?
Good on yer mate, have fun in Grease (pun intended)! Klaudia
I love this guy...we have a story.
But if we were chosen...don't quite know how to get over to her !! Were in nc
You sent me an empty email....twice
Wow. Here be legends! I would throw my hat in, but everything is too messed up to even figure out where to start :) just know that you really are a legend. -craig from sunny Modbury South Australia (just so you know I have licence to declare legends)
I am glad that you do....
Just wow mate. Gonna be a hard one to find for sure.
No explanation is necessary for being a great guy . You do you and all will be well .
A Great guy and a great Idea but I don't know if I want the boat but.. I want the boat. Ha!
One day brother one day I'll have my homestead on the ocean 👊🍻cheers and good luck to finding her a new captain brother.
What a great way finding a new owner to a boat. All the best to you all
This is just like the best thing ever, I have sent out as per the requirements, would be like the best thing ever to be the lucky ones
You are on the list
Bad luck ? Listen to Born Under A Bad Sign, that sums up my life. LOL 😂. Good luck to you Plukky and everyone.
