I think you found the perfect woman for an adventure like you are about to have. Laura is beautiful but her attitude and smile is everything. Wishing you guys lots of fun and happiness
What a great add with Laura! Funny, delightful, playful and makes the vlogs more interesting. Your videos and commentary are getting better and better. Can’t wait to catch up.
Started watching Sailing Doodles a while back but had to go back and see when Laura came on board. She has so much energy and really has fun everywhere she goes its fun watching Bobby try and keep up....I can`t wait to see the new places and adventures that come next.
Another great video, you do a great job of telling the story of cruising , boat prep, provisioning, time at sea, cooking, breakdowns, new harbors, arriving and best of all, beer or wine at end of the trip. I especially enjoyed the Sausalito experience, I had a boat in Clipper Yacht Harbor, in the late 70’s, J-24 which I raced and owned for 15 years. Laura is a great crew, helpful, enthusiastic, fun and competent.
You are either lucky or you just make great choices in people because I didn't think you could find someone who brings as much positive energy as Megan did when she sailed with you, but then here comes Laura! I'm really looking forward to the upcoming videos!
That "sea grass" as you called it is Bull Kelp. Grows all over in that area. I am in the San Juans every summer and sometimes you will see big masses of it at the surface when the tides really swing.
Hey Bobby, Laura and Serge. Great video you guys. Bobby thank you for the update on the dogs. They are a lure in watching your adventures as sailing with pets must bring it's own kind of rewards/hurdles. Also just wanted to say thanks for explaining what a 'bar' is in nautical terms. For us who don't sail these kind of insights are interesting to learn. If you can drop one or two of these in during your videos it'd be great. Take care - and happy sailing.
Sailing under the Golden Gate bridge is always fun! I though have never done it on anything but an Aircraft Carrier which is also super fun and memorable because hundreds of people were always there to drop thousands of flowers on our deck as we went under. I envy you two!
LAURA = SUNSHINE DISPOSITION!!! So Happy Go Lucky, Easy Going and Positive even when she's seasick! Amazing Luck finding her! She will bring the Sunshine all through your travels from now on!
Wow - we were neighbors for a bit here - I am about 75 miles from Coos bay - a rough bar at times ... then the Charleston bay - man that place is like Winter even in Summer was freezing when we looked at a boat there ! Happy sails guys ! cheers , Scott and son
Your great Bobby, love hearing all the nautical info and really love Laura’s zesty personality! The both of you make these episodes so much fun to watch.
8,000 views and only 8oo+ likes? come on people, gotta hit that like button! Good start to the sail, even if the weather wasn't the nicest, but expected that far north this time of year. That Beneteau is a gorgeous boat, and for those that say it's an old 1, not only has it been gone over, they are built with the highest quality, going to get spoiled by that thing you crew. The sea sickness happens to the best of them, just weeks ago a friend whose never had it did on a rough portion of our sail 1 cool morning, and Bobby, get some cheap foam earplugs, have anyone experiencing it put 1 in the opposite ear of their dominate hand, in other words if they are right-handed put in left ear only, learned that trick from an old salt who swear it works everytime. Never have had it myself..which means I've jinxed myself and will be hurling chum on the next trip out! Lucky you found another good sport, who can deal w/the less than perfect conditions that come w/life on sail, and rolls through them w/a laugh, like Laura does, good introduction too. Now I've written a book I'll close by saying, fair winds and fair sailing.
Bobby Laura has a good charm with positive energy, good addition to your crew besides being a nurse seems to know how to cook too. I would guess that Laura can fish too, she is definitely a keeper and yes she is beautiful and her personality matches yours good chemistry!. Welcome Laura to the Doodles gang show some love to Bobby he is a good person. Catch you on next live stream cheers.
Try stay top side to reduce the effects of sea sickness. I worked on an ocean going tug. Those sailors taught me a lots that was very useful when I bought my own cruising sail boat.
Bobby, I feel your pain with those oysters: yuck - why? Laura is such a good nurse. I loved it when she asked you if you know your name. Too funny. Good to see you guys back on the water.
Welcome Laura, Bobby she is a delight for sure, And so funny, Thank you both for sharing And its - 20 here in the north so it looks pretty good down there to me. Terry
Hey Bobby, the water coming in is a real shortcoming of the boat design. You need a remedy for that. The first time you're asleep and that happens and all your bedding gets soaked with salt water, you'll wholehearted agree! Seriously!
Looked like quite the journey going south. It can get very crappy in the Juan de Fuca as well. Too bad you weren't here during the summer. It is beautiful up here.
That stuff floating in big bunches is called kelp or giant kelp. I have stayed here n that exact dock (Friday harbor) many many times. Although not when it was snowing. Great channel,you have here.
Great vid. Glad you guys are back on the water. You guys have been all around my stomping grounds. I live in Boise and spend summers sailing the San Juans. My favorite waters to sail.. In July and August only though :)
Bob, not only is Laura beautiful, but when she talks she looks you straight in the eyes, Bob return the favor instead of looking away or looking down like you did in this video. I understand sometimes its hard to do when the woman is so pretty, but it shows you respect what she is saying and are Hearing her...lol...I'm like Amanda and Megan Who as well!! Laura-pretty ,nice, great smile and a Nurse, what more could guy want?
Bob, you dog you! 3 great sailing partners in a row! I might be leaving someone out, but you sure have a knack for picking very nice gals to sail with you! I am looking forward to more sailing adventures!
Helloo Laura ! (Aka Nurse Good body ). Best crew yet Bob. Even James Cook had severe sea sickness and Laura is very tough to endure it and still want to go sailing. Sea sickness is your worse hangover x10.
OK Bob! Dude you light up like a Christmas Tree when she shows up. I would too. Y'all have a way to go so enjoy your time together. Nothing against Megan but I hope this is a good arrangment for the both of you. Best wishes from DFW.
Hi. I have been a sub since the first episode before you bought the Ruff Seas. The channel has been a bit low for a bit, but IThink now you have the possibilities to really pay back to all of us who want to be a part of your sailing adventures. I am looking forward to the rest of the story, and It seems like you have put together a great crew.
IT IS NEVER "GROCERY SHOPPING" is it a PROVISIONING run for the FANTASTIC VOYAGE*!! or so you should say. Just FYI - good show. *- also note your mileage may vary and void where prohibited.
All Shellbacks love sucking down oysters!!! Laura is 1 in a billion and once again you are the luckiest Shellback on the high seas. I wish you two would have a meet and greet for all your fans in Westport, Washington as you pass by

Nurses are the best. Great sense of humors Handle stress well and all around some the craziest and best people I know. Welcome Laura.
I've been married to a nurse for 24 years and I agree with everything you said.
I think you found the perfect woman for an adventure like you are about to have. Laura is beautiful but her attitude and smile is everything. Wishing you guys lots of fun and happiness
Great chemistry and Laura is such a laugh, probably having a positive effect on Bobby as well.
I’m really enjoying this.
Glad to see Laura on her first full Sailing Doodles video. Welcome. Looking forward to the continued adventures.
I love her! She’s so fun and energetic and smiley and laughs a lot and brings so much positive energy. A very rare jewel there Bobby.
I LOVE the fact that Laura has SOOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN !! I'm also high as a KITE when I go sailing! LOVE YOUR ENERGY GIRL!!!!
Good to see you out on the water again. Laura looks like a great addition and look forward to seeing Serge again down the road. Fair Winds!
Hi Bobby, another great video. Laura is awesome with the right ‘get after it’ attitude. Also enjoyed Laura’s voice over bits.
Laura's smile and positive attitude are a beautiful addition to the adventure! She'll keep you heads up, Bobby!
Laura knows how to make everyone feel included. A great skill to have.
What a great add with Laura! Funny, delightful, playful and makes the vlogs more interesting. Your videos and commentary are getting better and better. Can’t wait to catch up.
Laura !!!

Good to see your back up and running and Laura, have the best time of your life :)
Laura is awesome, I like her energy and youthful spirit. Keep it up!
You are either lucky or you just make great choices in people because I didn't think you could find someone who brings as much positive energy as Megan did when she sailed with you, but then here comes Laura! I'm really looking forward to the upcoming videos!
She may be the funniest and special person ever on the boat!!!
Laura seems like so much fun!! Love following you all!!
Bobby! Your like a little kid on his first date! Fun to watch. She IS a great addition but I think I see some sparks flying!! Good luck!!
Laura is definitely a keeper!
Looks like she digs you Bob, good for you Brother.

Great video. Glad to see you back in the sailing swing. Laura is a gift !!
I'm so glad Bob is back on the water
Nice video! Laura has a great personality! You make a great team. Safe sailing.
That "sea grass" as you called it is Bull Kelp. Grows all over in that area. I am in the San Juans every summer and sometimes you will see big masses of it at the surface when the tides really swing.
Nice to see you back on the water.
OMG! Put a ring on that finger Bobby! She's amazing!!
Has Laura EVER had a bad day? She was a Doll even after being seasick! Awesome young lady!
Man, did you hit the jackpot. Laura is a delight.
I clearly need to get a boat.. everytime I tune in there is some "new delight" on the boat lol
😂

Laura kind of makes the dogs seem less important to the videos. (just kidding Goose and Mav) sort of. :-)
Sailing under the Golden Gate bridge is always fun! I though have never done it on anything but an Aircraft Carrier which is also super fun and memorable because hundreds of people were always there to drop thousands of flowers on our deck as we went under. I envy you two!
Glad to see more sailing.. and she is awesome !!!
Looking forward to the new adventure. Stay warm!
Back in the game Bobby....... Very nice!!!!

Glad to see Sailing Doodles is back to sailing.

Megan will always be Queen Doodle, but Laura seems pretty awesome. Can't wait to see what happens.
LAURA = SUNSHINE DISPOSITION!!! So Happy Go Lucky, Easy Going and Positive even when she's seasick!
Amazing Luck finding her! She will bring the Sunshine all through your travels from now on!
Wow - we were neighbors for a bit here - I am about 75 miles from Coos bay - a rough bar at times ... then the Charleston bay - man that place is like Winter even in Summer was freezing when we looked at a boat there ! Happy sails guys !

I have to admit I was super bummed when Megan left but Laura has made everything seem better.

You met your other half Bob. Don't let this one get away :) She has an amazing personality.

Nice boat man!
One of your best!
Bobby, Have been not watching lately. But although I miss the dogs, love the new dynamic with Laura and Serge et al. Keep it up.
If you want to go flying this weekend in the SF Bay area I'm happy to take you on a sight-seeing flight...
The segment of you provisioning at Walmart reminded me of the Walmart's going into Black Rock City .
Megan shmegan. Hello Laura! Wohoo!
Did Serg depart in Oregon? Laura is great addition, has that glimmer in her eye when looking at Bob.
No Frisco, He was a Patreon Bob invited when the other Guy couldn't make it.
Try to keep up Dudes, really wow!
