They say it is the journey, not the destination that counts, and that is proving true for us. Follow along as we cross continents in search of a boat to cross oceans. From the San Juan Islands to the Windwards of the Caribbean.

One of my favorite things about you both is the community of people that you've attracted. I could have spent a month talking all things sailing with you both--3 hours wasn't enough time 😅--but getting a chance to interact with you both finally in person and meeting up with fellow patrons and cruisers was such a wholesome and enjoyable experience. Definitely a highlight of my sailing adventures! (pro tip: if Nick asks you "how much do you know about meteorology?" before explaining something weather related, unless you have a degree in the field, the correct answer is "very little" 😂) Thank you for connecting us and bringing us along with you on your journey. Greetings from Albion 🦮 & Michael on Endeavour,..hope to see you out on the water again very soon. 🙏💛⛵ P.S. @HollyandRay I know we were upwind, but I'm pretty sure we could smell those tacos cooking...that looked amazing 😋

I'm new to your channel and only watched a few episodes, I'll go back and watch the earlier ones as some point, but I subscribed so I could watch as you search & purchase your new boat and then follow your upcoming adventures. However, I really enjoyed this episode as I'm from the Kitsap Peninsula and knew all the places you visited in the video. More then that, while you were on the Liberty Bay Marina Pier in Poulsbo looking at the trimaran, my old office was just over your shoulder. The first floor window under the staircase heading up to the second floor was were I had my desk. I'm sure you can attest by how beautiful the view is from there, that you would understand why I never got much work done as most of my time was spent looking out that window. Thanks for the memory and good luck with your search. I'll be watching 🙂

We were coming off a great weekend, six adults on a 34' Catalina and decided we needed something a wee bit bigger and started looking, and looking, and... then, frustrated, on a Saturday about a year in hubby says "we'll make do, get a composting head, do this, do that--- stop looking" and I'm like o.k. Next day he casually walks by and says "I think I found our boat". We bought her sight unseen with a survey but due to Covid, health issues, and a sudden move from Ontario to Nova Scotia, hubby is only seeing her this week for the first time- in Rhode Island of all places- I am at home and haven't seen her yet! You do weird things to follow your dreams, try different avenues and along the way magic happens. Hubby reports that our 1979 41' CC Ketch is better than he thought it would be by far and he's met the owners who had done all the heavy lifting on her for 20 years. You'll find that boat that speaks to your spirit and in the meantime we get to live vicariously through you and tag along with your adventures. Great content as usual!

Well worth putting on your bucket list if you get the chance. Good luck with the search. You will eventually find what your looking for even if it's not a boat.. 🙂 Thanks for the video. Search On!

Can you do a video that explains why it’s such a challenge to find a boat? Is it that sellers are still looking for Covid pricing? Is it that most boats are neglected from the lack of education/trade skill shortage? One of the best parts of your channels are the technical details you give. After years of studying your videos, i look forward to paying for a consultation(s) as we get closer.

O'Kelly's hi from Calgary Alberta. I can't believe it this has to be some kind of record however I'm sure that's no comfort for your disappointment and frustration. You're such great people and all this BS to find a boat. However I respect your ability to know when the number isn't right or there is just too much work to bring a boat up to your standards. It's a great lesson for others be able to walk away. But the upside, when and you will find your next boat it is going to be so GREAT. I've been fortunate to spend quite a bit of time enjoying Port Townsend too love it there. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I love Grenada. I hope to sail down there by end of summer if my friend can find parts for his Sherman tank diesel engines up in Toronto. If you are still there, take a cruise up to Les Tantes islands. There is a tiny island that has broken off from the large island - North of it. The small island has a really neat natural pool, actually 2 others, but this one you can swim in. The pool was created by the rocks that have broken off from the main island that created a 'wall' from the crashing Atlantic waves. Approach the island from the South of it, because it has a nice little bay. Use a dingy to get in, not a boat. If you do this trip, then bring some fresh water for the squatters on Rhonde Island. You don't need to beach - they will come out. Excellent fishing there too. West of Les Tantes is 'the spot' to catch them.
