We BOUGHT our FIRST 45ft SAILBOAT in AUSTRALIA - The JOURNEY sailing AROUND THE WORLD begins!
Welcome to our very first episode of Seafolk Sailing! In this exciting kickoff to our adventure, we fly to Darwin, Australia, to check out a potential sailboat that could become our new floating home. But, as with all great stories, things don’t go entirely to plan… From unexpected mishaps to big decisions, we take you along for the ride as we start chasing our dream of a life on the water.
We’re so excited to share this journey with you! If you enjoy the episode, please like, subscribe, and share the love-your support means the world to us. Let’s set sail together!

    It’s amazing how Delos and vaga have inspired so many. A man bun is a good start. All the best.

      Having long hair means no hairdressers necessary while at sea for months and months, and bald heads aren’t for everyone 🤣

    Wish you both all the best...I hope you both enjoy this adventure and the ups and downs that go with it...I hope you took it for a real good sail and tested out the motor thoroughly before signing on the dotted line...there was no mention of the motor and its condition and the sails as well. These are the expensive things that you dont want to have to replace.!!!!! Insurance companies[the ripoffs] dont like 10 yr old rigging....Insurance is needed to enter into marinas or to go on a service jetty... Pls check rudder and keel bolts before leaving Darwin...Good Luck and Fair Winds to you both....

    Just stumbled on this and thought “oh great , another sailing channel”, there’s hundreds of them. For some reason I kept watching, your intro is excellent, photography, editing and narration all to the point. Future plans sound exciting and you guys come across as likeable with a “let’s go attitude”. Please don’t show me you preparing dinner, cooking dinner and eating dinner, I can do that at home. Good luck guys.

    You said one of the things that tells me you are off to a good start: going to replace the rigging. So many buy a boat not knowing the lifespan of rigging. I do have some questions for ya. Do you get seasick (living on a sailboat at sea and crossing oceans is a lot different than taking a dive boat out for a few hours)? Do you know how to heave-to properly? Do you know how to inspect sails? Do you know how to reef? Lastly, do you know how much boat parts cost and how short of a lifespan they have? Now to some advice: Make sure you hand clean your fuel tank before going offshore. That is the number 1 problem new sailors have besides sea sickness (I have a trick to make sure you don't get sick if you want to hear it). Make sure you test your radios and how far they can send/receive. Drop your rudder and inspect the bearings and if yours is the type that uses a packing gland, make sure that is good to go. Inspect the steering cables and pulleys and replace all cotter pins on pulleys and rigging before you go anywhere. Cotter pins are cheap but can fail and cause a disaster without any notice or show of wear and tear. Make sure the bottom is cleaned before you head out. Have backup GPS capable phones with charts on them. You've already notice how easy it is to lose one. If you aren't replacing the rigging before you go, which I really suggest you do, then at least get a professional to inspect it. Same for the sails. Your neighbor thinks like me. For years I used to carry my old anchor rode on the side of my boat in a daisy chain because I didn't have room to store it but I didn't want to get rid of it. Everybody used to comment on it saying that's a great idea to protect the hull. I'd usually just say thank you and smile knowing they didn't know the real reason it was there. I sold that boat in Fiji in 2018. I wonder if he got the idea from my old boat. BTW: Don't feel bad about not finding the phone. It's very hard to find things in the water in a marina. Usually the bottom is a thick mushy mess and as soon as you start putting your hand in it, it stirs up all the junk in the water and you can't even see your nose. Get backup phones. Actually, the word backup is something you should be talking about for most things on your boat.

    I'm also a carpenter. After work and on the weekends, I designed and built my own home without hiring any labor and did it all debt free. With that purchase came two lots. I'm planning on building another house on that land and then selling the first home to purchase a nice boat and sail around the world.
