I bought a 2001 Jeanneau 37ft sailboat to sail around the greek islands for the summer. I don't have new crew yet so for now I am sailing solo, "single handed" in the ionian islands of western Greece. I was still able to fly the spinnaker from precision sails on this sail!

Bobby, you are a good guy and to be honest I enjoy your content more without the eye candy. The details on sailing and the realities of boat life come through more - and it isn't easy out there. No one should be alone but take the time and know you have support for your channel. Keep up the great work!

Only person I have ever seen talk about selling a boat and actually talk price. Everyone else acts like its the secret to end all secrets. Its your honesty and demeanor that makes me watch your show. Eye candy is of course nice, especially to old farts like me. But make no mistake my friend you are the star and why we watch the show.
