I wish I would have known that I went on

your crap look I always kind of wanted

to know but like I think it shows you

just take that first knife and I just do

it like you feel like there's always

more preparation to be done with you

what's going on guys a daily true

transient calm you've been watching my

channel for last couple months you know

that I recently ended a journey canoeing

from New York City to Georgia I commuted

about 800 miles on that trip I met a lot

of people that were called liveaboards

there were cold little boys they lived

on sailboats on their sailboat usually

couples and I met one couple in

particular

Farren and Mary living off the SD 5050 I

hung out with them we actually took my

canoe and put it on their sailboat not

read with them for about 30 miles I

originally intended for this video to be

called how to live on a sailboat and

that's probably why I live but work

after editing it I realized there's a

lot of practical information just about

long-term travel even if Johanna limp on

a sailboat I think you're going to

really enjoyed it so without further ado

guys there was a video with Jared and

Mary from of the hex key 5050

[Music]

here with Theron and Mary and what you

guys are on the tipsy gypsy right and

hell yeah and you just started well may

double months ago yeah so now you're now

you're full-time liveaboards right and

you're doing work right like yeah I work

from the boat okay everyone from your

computer every day yep I'll do a

software development okay for a company

back back home and Grand Rapids nice all

right so what was like what was a big

driving factor and coming on doing this

you know just like you know it's funny

because like people often ask me like

why are you doing this trip and then

sometimes I just don't have a good

answer for where I'm just like why I do

it

that's why not just like yeah exactly

that's like all you have to say really

well I think we both have different

reasons but sure like I think my biggest

thing was I just wanted to be able to

travel I just wanted to be able to

travel easily and be able to still work

along the way because that's how we can

afford to do in otherwise we'd have to

wait yeah another ten years or something

until we had the finances in order is

and being able to do it right and I

think that we have that part in

confident we definitely I think that

traveling full-time is really amazing I

mean you can't really do that any other

way you can do it in different ways like

your Zoey fire there's so many to being

now event is comfortable and really

amazing I really like being on the water

though too so I think the sailboat is a

convenient way to do it you know because

you can anchor out and for the most part

we do anchor that's free anywhere you go

yeah we've got our house with us we can

carry all of our stuff and and we like

to be small living and minimal but we

don't want to go like I'm living out of

my backpack right yeah yeah it's a way

of having like a mobile home but yeah in

the water and stuff yep and and I think

the other thing too is like with with an

RV you can hit like a lot of places in

the US but you're basically constrained

to the highways and via water we can get

to any country we want effectively yeah

yeah

wait and it's expensive because you're

sailing like you're not paying for

you're not paying for gas all the time

for the most part and even when you are

the boat is so efficient with the diesel

it's like we're barely 0.75 gallons an

hour off to run the diesel engine and

Diesel's like two bucks again with arson

yeah it's real it expensive it's also

more of like an outside you're outside

more when you doing this I guess because

if ya drivin you know you're not a

Harvey where you right yeah you're a lot

more connected for sure on the gas it

would definitely so Mary did you have

like a different reason that's the

biggest reason I mean just to be able to

travel more full-time and as our spring

time kept on we we launched this boat in

May that's the first time we had ever

sailed it through where we had from

Mecca not cities and then she live in

Grand Rapids full-time so we may had to

do that truck down and then from there

we just have time making more trips

along the way and I realized that I

needed to quit my job

let me could do it yeah you liked it a

lot of two-lane cool so travel nice yeah

would you if you were to give advice to

someone who want to do the same thing

what would you say are there how to sail

yeah I mean if you learn music lessons a

lot of people just kind of jump in they

think they can do it but I think taking

lessons and then true just really be

able to afford it because that's

something that we're able to do at the

same time a lot of people find hobbies

along the way but they might not be able

to do it as long yeah we're planning on

them so that's been worthwhile to I

think if you can get creative though to

like there are a lot of ways to make

something happen

oh yeah and you don't you don't know

import support like it didn't matter

like online you know right right yeah

more support you could wash those you

could you can be creative with your work

you know sell your skills we know we

read some blogs where people like that's

what they do like they find a marina

they help people with canvas work or

waxing your fiberglass repair or

whatever they ask you

or maybe you're a plumber an electrician

or whatever like people have need for

that but I think too like with the

Internet

days there are so many ways that you can

go about selling your skills I think the

hardest part so if I had to get some of

the advice I just feel like just go do

it like yeah go do it and find a way to

make it happen because I like reverse

ending yeah yeah reverse-engineer it

like that's basically the way I did it

like I said this is what we want to do

now how do we get there how do we do it

and yeah like the first part was getting

internet so we I research like okay now

how do I always have internet and yeah

basically we're clearing AT&T t-mobile

and Verizon devices on the boat so we

can always have internet and then the

next part was like now how do I convince

my wife that one goes a lot longer

hahaha but I started working on that one

first as I knew it would take a long

time yeah nice and then and then we were

so once we figure out the internet we're

like alright well let's find the boat

and then let's find yeah so if we just

break it down into all these steps like

this is what we need to do to make this

happen and then that and then make it

happen and it's I think the other part

too is that don't look at it as the as a

is one end goal you really got to break

it down into all the little steps cuz

it's so easy to get overwhelmed like but

what are we going to do with the house

what we do with the cars what do we do

with the pets like how are we gonna how

are we gonna afford it and if you look

at it all as one big picture it's

intimidating and it's too hard too right

yeah yeah and if you okay yeah and if

you if you break everything down it's a

lot easier to deal with and you're just

like you know once per week like hey

let's spend an hour like for a long time

we were doing weekly family or daily

failing meetings and we'd like down for

it let you list it down for a half an

hour how are we gonna make the top how

we're gonna do this thing and tonight

other than that you happen right second

yeah I've got to dog you know tell if

you got padding under there J'son on
