Definitely has a couple of millions in the bank.
Came for the comments… was not disappointed 😂
Yeah right, everybody came here because of the boat right you guys, BOAT IS THE GOAT right ?
There was a boat?
You guys are doing it right! Love the boat and what you have done with it. Very few cruisers have the boat, the knowledge and the attitude to really live off grid, I'm glad I found your channel. Fair winds and following seas...
Thank you Bruce! Really really appreciated! ❤️
This yacht is sick! So good to see crew that have thought about it all and created an epic vessel. ✌️
When I watch your videos I am enchanted by your female mate, the long legged beauty your wife, William is where most of us wish we were, in the company of Iana the Queen of the ship! A very Good Life indeed! GB
Damn, now I know who want to be when I grow up. Awesome boat, gorgeous wife. Living the dream.
Same haha
Charming lady and a clever man. Great boat..
Yup, you two are fantastic- Safe travels and continue to have the time of your lives-
Thank you friend ❤️
Your-own little piece of heaven. And the beautiful lady is a bonus! 😊 great home on water!
Kenneth!!! How dare you to call me a bonus ???? 😈😤😂😂😂😂
iana
I did say you were beautiful, the bonus comment was to point out how lucky your man was to have you
Lol ok ok you got a pass 🤣🤣🤣
One thing is to dream it, another to do it. Congratulations to both. Enjoy living off grid!
Thank you for being with us!
Nice ink. I love it. And yeah, your boat is pretty cool. Fair winds.
You Sir Have Won the Goddam Lottery 👊
Now this is life goals...get a great woman, great boat, and travel. Good luck to yall, be safe out there
For all you complaining about the age difference relax. YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE. IF SHE IS OVER 18 THAN WHO CARES? If they are both happy and in love than thats all that matters
Wonderful beautiful boat. Thank you for the tour.
Thank you Ann!
This was a GREAT video! Very informative and you explained everything perfectly! Have fun kids and keep on sailing! God bless... 🇺🇸
Boat tour is cool and appreciated just keep pressing forward and enjoying yourselves.
Thank you Rich!!!
As an rv tech and boats and rv’s being similar in components and designs and do a lot of off grid builds I want to say I am impressed and a fan of what u guys did and the amount thinking and planning that went into the build I love it and I think and hope u guys have lots of fun and adventures and make alot of memories together on it
LoL, most rv’s are junk.
Loved the Boat Tour, great set up, well thought thru, Love it! Stay safe, have fun! 🍻🤠😁💪👍
Respectfully, this woman is on fire
Finally! a good look at your motorsailor, she has nice lines, very beefy and solid and probably the safest pleasure boat in a storm. I hope to join you in the Bahamas asap.
Good job guys, I like your vessel and the two of you make for an entertaining video. Thank you again.
Our pleasure! Thank you Jim!
Great tour, you guys ROCK!
This guy has the lifestyle I think men day dream about from time to time…. Instead I’m on my way to pickup hamburger buns and ketchup for my wife who was at the store 30 minutes before. 🤷🏻♂️
What a fantastic boat and so much of your own design. Thank you for the look around which has given me a few ideas as well 👍👍👍🥃
This man is a legend. God bless.
I wanna be that guy when I grow up!
Hello and Welcome.
I was always saying this when was young. Never wait for anything as we do not live with an expiration date. We never know if we leave the earth this second or when we are 91 (my Father’s age).
I feel young when some of our followers label is as “kids”. So summary is do not wait.
Capt w
GREAT TO SEE YOU TWO BACK
Thank you Ed!!
I just watched your video for the first time. I didnt realize but your living the dream i didnt know i had. Bless you both and safe travels. From Seattle Wa
Thank you Tony! Keep the dream going!
Hi, I have just been to the Bahamas on a beautiful boat /ship .
Living it vicariously of course and have not travelled off the chair !
I was in Austria and Switzerland last night . Another UA-cam channel and yes I lived the journey vicariously!
Later tonight will be watching Sailing Vet , based in Australia and sailing to various islands helping animals !
Watching quality videos and or also contributing monies direct ,should not be fround at !
Keep up the excellent work and quality content .
Thankyou 🙂
Adrian
SO HAPPY TO BRING YOU ALONG WHEREVER we go!! Truly is why we are here.
Capt W
Old man's got it made.
Loved the tour, very unique boat. Thank you
Some great equipment you got there, nice boat too!
So true in all aspects
😃
Love the life you two are amazing people… stay safe thanks for sharing an incredible off grid journey
Thank you Kevin!
So many well thought out features. Love your boat. Have fun!
Thank you John! Appreciate it!
lol，Yes, I agree with your thoughts and opinions. Didn't expect to see your comment here. How are you doing? I'm Jesse, do you remember?🤣
Your a legend bro hope I I can live like this when I’m older free life, clean air, life at sea, off grid, hot younger women by my side 🤟🏾
I always have several different types of anchors. Depending on the waters floor and the weather, not to mention if things are really rough, you can deploy multiple anchors simultaneously.
I Love you two and your Vessel, would suit me fine. Happy to see any video you put out, stay safe out there..
Thank you David!
Well done..great boat..great couple…steady as she goes and stay safe..
Thank you Norman!!
lol，Yes, I agree with your thoughts and opinions. Didn't expect to see your comment here. How are you doing? I'm Jesse, do you remember?🤣
Very cool, comfortable and obviously safe motor sailboat. I’m not sure I’d call any motor sailing yacht self sufficient, because obviously you’re burning through a lot more fuel that has to be resupplied at port than a fiberglass sailboat. Still, all boats are a trade off depending on how you want to be able to live on them. There is no perfect boat, only the best boat for you.
Darryl
You are correct but we have filled up 1.5 years ago. Still have over 1/2 in fuel onboard. When motor sailing the motor is at idle to match water speed over the prop to provide power between wind variations.
Summary is we spend 90% time st anchor and the sun provides all the energy. Have spent more money on gas for the dingy in 12 months than anything other than food.
Thank you for your comment
Caot W and Iana
@@DawnHunters That is awesome. I was under the impression that you yachted primarily with engine power and the sails we just a couple of knots assistance?
I was also curious about monthly diesel use. With that fuel report, how many miles have you traveled monthly or annually?
Hi guys! Excited to watch a new one! The thumbnail is gorgeous.
Thank you Bonnie!!! 😘
That's a really nice boat, and very well equipped. You have to be a very capable person and good at so many things such as mechanics and electronics to do something as complicated as that.
We just disciovered your channel this afternoon, love you guys and we look forward to checking out all your your content.
Thank you Nigel! Don’t look too much behind lol those videos in the beginning are not the same quality 😂
iana
You have an amazing husband there (someone had to say it) both of you are very lucky to be so happy. Its hilarious reading comments from jealous ppl because you guys just laugh at them 😂 perfect response 👍
Remember when they're both of you started this project, super proud and envious of the wonderful job and detail that you both executed under the hot sun and rainy days. Now you guys are styling and comfortable, so happy for you guys enjoy and stay safe.
Jim
Thank you for being here all this time and the comment. Helps keep us here.
Capt W and Iana
Always dreamed of that life. Bravo to you both. You gotta be a smart cookie to keep all that running, well.
A man with so many skills I consider you a genius far above average, engineer, vessel captain, stainless steel welder, sand blaster, industrial painter, forklift operator, fitter, inventor among many other qualifications. Your wife also absorbed some skills, she surprised me with the details that were assembled inside the vessel. If you can answer, I would like to know how much you spent on the boat and how much more did you spend on renovating the vessel? What was the total work time for the boat to go into the water? I subscribed to the channel you are amazing!!!
Big W for this guy 🤙🏻
Stay safe out there you two. The sailboat is epic!
Just seeing you guys for the 1st time. Looking forward to seeing more. Great job!!
Thank you Mark! Welcome aboard!
Your yacht has been planned out so well for your life style. So enjoy life and live on, adventures on the horizon. 🏝👍
well, i want a wahmen like yours who doesn't mind living on my sailboat and can enjoy each others company with little stress. nice to see you both together. i bet shes .....nice boat too...
Happy wife is haply life x100 on a boat.
Lol
With that woman wouldn't mind getting lost at sea ⛵
Me too Kim
Very interesting yacht, love the ruggedness and off grid setup. Great vid, thanks, From NZ.
Thank you. Yes she is a tank and does not require fenders. Solid 4 inch cast steel fully welded rub rails.
Same steel mine dump trucks are made of
@@DawnHunters you can't beat steal especially today the use of high carbon steel (corten) I've just built a corten clad house, fantastic. Very low maintenance.
lol，Yes, I agree with your thoughts and opinions. Didn't expect to see your comment here. How are you doing? I'm Jesse, do you remember?🤣
Loved it. Thanks for sharing!!
tremendous amount of work put in... huge respect old G!
Good tour guys, I really enjoyed it. Thanks, Bernie
BERNIE! Thank you so much! Was finishing it up all night and starting from 6.00 am today lol - such planners we are
iana
Love the pilot house addition, one helluva undertaking from concept thru to completion....very well done.
Thank you friend!
I like that you have a swim step built in the back that is really smart one of my friends said before you ever buy a boat especially a sailboat see if you can get on it if you get thrown off it and if you can't then it's definitely not a vessel you want to buy
If the weather is going to be rough it's recommended that you should wear a harness attached to a lifeline so you're less likely to thrown overboard and it's a good idea to leave a rope tied to a cleat if you are swimming and don't have a swim step or leave a rope ladder hanging over the side to help you climb aboard, but if the weather was really bad you're not going to be able to climb back aboard if you went overboard, if you weren't knocked unconscious by hitting the water you might be stunned and by the time you realised where you were and got to the surface you would be quite a distance behind the Yacht or expedition vessel and would be relying on the other crew members to spot you and turn the vessel around and pick you up, there's no way you would be swimming fast enough to catch up with the vessel and if you're going out in a dinghy it's a good idea to wear a life jacket just in case a wave hit it wrong and capsized it, or threw you overboard but the dinghy's throttle is released when you let go so the dinghy isn't going very far away from you, sorry for the length of my reply but I hope this answers your question and why a swim step isn't going to help if you were thrown overboard
Props to the cameraman for covering all angles 😎
Thumb nail definitely taking advantage of the algorithm.
U 2 are an amazing couple!
Give each other 3 compliments each day and enjoy each day!
Love your tattoos too!
I am going to buy a steel or aluminum sailboat and catch up with your journey!
Love 💗
Landlubber from Somerset, sooo jealous, wish you fair winds and sandy bottoms, enjoy.
Your lifestyle looks like a dream come true! Well done.
Don't worry my woman is also half my age too, i retired in my 40s so i get it, and although im not a sailor, that's how i found you, im getting a boat this year
@vivi39201 I’m sure you are perfectly normal though in your little boring life 😍😘 take care honey!
iana
This is the first time I've seen your channel and your vessel. She's a beautiful boat. You've got a new subscriber and friend from Syracuse New York.
Thank you Tom! Nice to e-meet you :)
Wow, what an incredible undertaking! The boat is beautiful, Congratulations to the both of you and Lana you are beautiful 🙌 Hats off to you as well William 🤙
Love you guys!!
WOW I DIDNT EVEN SEE That you all were BACK ON UA-cam!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!! lookin forward to MUCH MUCH ENJOYMENT WATCHING! :)
Great boat! It seems this is a old house with great story. It has soul. There are tons of improvements, lot of different things. The engine room looks like a space station :) Thank you for sharing such part of your life. It was really interesting :)
This guy is lucky . A boat and a Young woman . that is life
Loads of jealous haters here i see.
Im a 57 year old glorified buttler (captain) on a big private sailing yacht. You two makes me move closer to change lifestyle.
Wish you all good in life 🍻
Hello
You are getting the experience on someone else’s vessel which is priceless but the day you say goodbye and step on your own boat life will change forever. Take the step and live life as you want.
Good luck
Capt William and Iana
@@DawnHunters
Thank you very much!
This is my last summer. In November Hallberg Rassy and I will set of for Baru - Colombia then Bocas del Toro. After that. No idea. No crew for the moment so I'm a bit limited.
Cheers
Live life at the fullest 🥳
10:00 that SPICE WALL IS AWWESOMEE!!!
Y’all are giving me and my wife of 33 years so much inspiration. I’m about to pull my little boat out and redo it for Racheal and I.
Love the videos and we watch almost every morning over our coffee. So waking up to you two gives us a little push daily! Heehee ❤️
Hey guys! Thank you for the support! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You're living every man dream brother. Be safe out there.
Very well done Captin, you must be one very happy & satisficed man She is an absolute piece of art!! Not to mention, your sailing vessel is about a cool as it gets!! Haha! Seriously though I love all the customizing you have done!!
I agree an absolute piece of art indeed.
What’s your name A Rottie? We’ve been long enough acquainted ;)
iana
Awesome vid, thanks for sharing. That's a beautiful boat. I would love to live like that one day. Be safe out there.
Thanks for the boat tour, it was worth the wait.
Fair sailing.
Thank you Kjel! Appreciate it!
NGL...that thumbnail got me.
😭😂😂 I can't believe I got Catfished on a boat video. Genius 😅
I always love your videos ❤ keep going and enjoy your selves 👍
Thank you Rossalyn!
Finding happiness regardless of age, cast, creed or religion is so much fun and love ❤🎉
AMEN 🙏
No one knows there feeling's, stop hateing on them may God be with them both be safe out there 🙏
Thank you.
True waters run deep - shallow waters fast and loud but over fast. Thus are those with the negative comments.
An extra chart plotter. SMART!
What fun . Thanks guys for sharing.
I like that you are using eutectic coldplates - that can just be topped up if excess solar or other power available and or run longer when needing a total recharge
