The unspoken: marry someone who shares your goals and dreams. If you don’t, you’ll end up watching RU-vid videos of others living your goals and dreams.
I just need to say that this was very well filmed. Most sailboat tours, it's like the cameraman doesn't understand how to step back and show the environment. The owners take up 80% of every frame, unless they're giving a close up of some pointless detail. I don't want close ups; I want to see the living space and get a feel for what it's really like!
The knowledge of their life on the boat, the mechanics of everything, what they had to do to prepare, the skills they had to learn; it is all so impressive and the way that they appreciate the life they live is refreshing to see. They also work well together; by far, one of my most favourite RU-vid couples.
We moved from the US to Mexico - I feel like the biggest challenge to the whole effort was getting out of our house! Selling all our stuff, selling our house was so stressful and it took us about 18months to get out of all our responsibilities. We took my ill Mother with us so that was extra burden - getting her out of her apartment, selling her stuff, etc... I am so grateful we did it - no regrets.
Wow, five years at sea! That takes stamina and determination. I love Nick; a Brit/Euro who speaks in miles as opposed to kilometers! Your yacht is very nice as well. Kudos to you both for pursuing your dream and thanx for sharing! Happy Holidays!
Thank you Nick & Terysa for letting us into your wonderful world. When I tell my children and my grandchildren there’s a better way all I have to do is point to you two. Stay thirsty my friends.
Terysa is so naturally beautiful. I love seeing a woman who is comfortable in her own skin and wearing no makeup (or very little). Peace, love and blessings to you both.
Nick and Terysa good for you!! Humans were meant to be explorers and adventurers! Glad to see someone else going for it!! I used to own a 48ft Grand Banks and lived aboard for 7 years. It was the happiest 7 years of my life. Completely fulfilled! There is something about the connection between us, and living on top of water... it's really great!
Good for you!! I loved how you were able to break the shackles and set sail. We live in a conditioned society and it's easy to think there is only one way to live. Each to their own... and I love yours.
The world is changing and I see folks in many communities all searching for a new way to be happy. Living on the edges of some well defined communities. The tiny home community, the Van lifers and those who take to the sea. All seeking a better journey, a better road to travel and more options to enjoy. Nomads all...seekers of the real glue which challenges us all... a life tethered to a regular job which does little to nourish the soul and the spirit...( yes, two different things), is hollow and it's reward must be paid to a bank and not ourselves (in the USA)...which leads to many other questions... is futility. But a life where you must pray for wisdom, excercise strength of character, draw on strong work ethic and mastery of self to draw out the best in one another..where dependence is NOT a dirty word! THAT!...that is a full life and it is it's own reward! When studying perma-culture I learned..."the MOST interesting things happen on the EDGES of things" ...the edge of the woods, a meadow. a brook ...the edge of the ocean...the world...or where the sun drops into the water each evening where it quenches it's thirst and bring out an explosion of stars to steer a ship by! Edges!!!
I really enjoyed my 7 years of sailboat living and cruising (singlehanded) including a 3 year, 40,000 mile circumnavigation in the high latitudes. Awesome lifestyle and you meet the most interesting, like minded folks.
Dear Mat & Danielle I have Just One Word for You Both " Wow " This is from My Heart You Both are Really Worth Respect You are not just living, in My Way, You Both are Adding Remarkable Value to The Life Keep Continue Your Valuable Life-Changing & Mesmerizing Work Thank You
Very interesting story, I actually did pay attention to details and tried to understand why this couple did what they do . Very remarkable how two people find enough patience with each other. Most of us are wishing to live this life style but never move forward. Nicely done , thanks. Great weather and smooth sailing to you :)
I have been following these guys from day 1. If you haven't watched their channel, do it, you won't be disappointed. They are informative and funny as hell...... one of the absolute best channels out out there!
Love your videos, Nick & Terysa! Thank you very much for sharing with the rest of the land dwellers. I have 7 years to go to live your lifestyle (11 year old son)!!! I can't wait until I purchase a sailboat and sail around the world. All the best!
A really good production. There was no stuttering, you stated what you needed to say concisely. I’ve been following you for for a month or so, did the binge. I think you are the best couple “sailing” on You Tube. Fair winds and following seas always!
Thank you for sharing! It's great to see all of the challenges with the freedom. It puts things in perspective so much better than I've seen anywhere else. Safe travels!!!!
The Ruby Rose crew, Let me say this you guys are marvelous the combination of Love adventure action and passion makes you unique and a daily challenge this video is very instructive I express my happiness and wish you happiness and love as your both very inspiring not too mention a beautiful sailing home. Montreal, Canada guy here.
Love seeing Ruby Rose highlighted here! Really good video! These two are definitely living the dream. This alternative lifestyle is the most compelling yet.
Great video- I’ve watched you guys it inspired me to take the leap as well, although I’m solo. 42’ Catalina Mk2- two months on board & it is honestly life changing in countless positive ways, THANK YOU for the muse & inspiration!
Have just happened across your video. I think you guys are amazing. I am 60 years old and have a special needs son so this outlet is not for me, but your outlet is!!! I cannot wait to follow your adventures. Beautifully filmed and very well edited. Thank you and keep it going...Harry and Ant Xx
Very educational video. THE Most EDUCATIONAL boating video for me as it included videos of controllers, switches (with corresponding tags to indicate what those switches are for). You are watching to learn so it you see switches and in other videos they are not tagged you don't know what they're for.
This is also my dream. The problem of living paycheck to paycheck is that time gets away too quickly! Being a blue collar type worker at this time and getting up there in age (51) I can only hope someday soon to make it happen. In the meantime trying to learn everything you need to know to be a self sufficient person that can actually make a run of it (at least for half the year). You guys did a great job with this video, love the layout of your boat . Happy sailing!!
I'm very sure they are touching a lot of lives with this. They are doing so much for society. Interesting way of spending your life and leaving a "legacy."
Y'all are so tremendously endearing and we are quite privileged to have just a glimpse of what you see and experience. I'm truly thankful that you chose to share this endeavor with us. I could not have imagined such a lifestyle. Thank you for sharing with us. Here's to continued extraordinary experiences for you two, and also for us who choose to enjoy what you share with us. Samantha Martin
I know this is an older video but with wealth of information. Well we are that close to making our leap into living aboard/cruising catamaran. My house under contract I have sold many items including my small power boat and will take possession of a cat in June.2020. I am excited and nervous as hell LOL. Hope to meet up sometime in the future Take care and be safe during these hard times. Albert and Fatima SV/iDos (I dream of sailing)
Wish you folks the very best. You guys are living the dream of many. Yes, it's a challenge, but with time becomes a reflex. And your a very small group of people that can say, they've sailed ⛵️ the world. Keep pushing & stay safe. Atleast you have technology to help. Just think of those who lived hundreds of years ago, who relied on the stars & charts only. Godspeed.
I wouldn't last two seconds. I am extremely claustrophobic...that enclosed space, those low ceilings....ugh...I shudder just thinking about it. My anxiety would be off the charts. But good for them for living the life they chose.
Just came across your channel. Wonderful, very down to earth! Even though I'm several (many) years older I'm still hoping for some type of live aboard!
Who ever gives this video a dislike needs to give their head a shake. great insight and a great video for those interested or considering life on a boat. Thanks for your time ;)
Brilliant video. I really enjoyed it. Lots of information and I applaud you for taking the risk and doing it. I've subscribed to follow your adventures.
Burn out is easy when you have experienced so much as a paramedic it's not the same your memory keeps that from happening. (former emt) We have a saying around here Terysa "paramedics save lives, EMT's save paramedics" lol true right. Lovely story and a lovely boat and I so enjoy your videos. :) peace
I've been following Ruby Rose for approx 6 months now and stumbled on this vid. Well done! Really enjoyed this and was kinda looking for this on their channel. Thanks Cheers
How did you learn to sail ? Please speak about docking in foreign country’s and dangers at sea. Do you sail based on the seasons and what are they? Can you detail a trip based on the months ?
This is SUCH a lovely video! Really, I am already subscribed to a number of sailing channels but you are so practical and unique! I just got my BC cert in Sausalito, Ca and am working toward the same dreeam! thank you!
Couples when work together for this kind of life and challenge , adventure, travel , hats off for them , they show the great camaraderie which we so much seek in our partners and the sharing of responsibilities and efforts in such a humongous adventure , I bow my head to these beautiful persons one a dentist (Nick could have made tons of money on land) and a paramedic )Terysa who is so gifted individual words are very few to explain this brave person. Their chemistry together and hard toil to reach their pre-planned goal or target to explore nature when you are young is something we rarely see in the young generations today who are into the rat race of climbing the ladder of money fame and fortune. My good wishes to you both , Hope you prosper and get all your needs self cared for , and your self sufficient attitude to get through tough situations has already made you a winner. Great Bravo .
First let me say you guys are an inspiration. Also your previous life kind of looks like mine. Being an EMT and dentist like you all were and leaving it is interesting to me. I’m also an EMT and full time Police Officer in Miami. My question is, what are your plans if any for retirement? It’s something I struggle with when thinking of living the sailing life. Thanks Alex
Nice and brave people, very able too. They completely deserve all the goodies of the life style they live, it's the result of their efforts and dreams!)
Hi I'm JoJo, It looks like you have plenty of room. Do you get closed in? I helped steam a Scallop boat to Corpus. It was a month out to sea . We got beat up in NC , eventually we hit the Gulf of Mexico. It was quite beautiful. You really have to come up with ideas to not spill the soup LOL! By the time I got to Corpus I was done You are blessed Enjoy make memories 🐦 Jo Jo in VT 💕☃ 😊
It's great to see you guys are happy and Sailing. I'm 25 and things aren't going to get better here in South Africa. I really want to sell everything and buy a Yacht and get out of here. This video has really helped me. The one thing I am concerned of is relying on some sort of income. There are probably many ways to gain income but I am just really scared of making this decision.
I wonder after watching did they purchase a used boat and then fixed it up or was it brand new in which case, I'm guessing, it doesn't need much work at all other than configuring it to your likes and needs. It would be helpful to know how much was spent purchasing a boat such as this. Also the brand name - how does one find a good blue water brand that is crossing an ocean?
you are amazing. Well done. Your life is great. it's great what you did. Your life is perfect. I never came across anyone so brilliant. I didn't even think such people existed in the world. How did you become such incredible people ? Can you make a video and tell us how you did. Thanks so much.
love how you call sailing on a $100,000 plus vessel a minimalist lifestyle.........I guess it’s all relevant, but i totally understand and i love what you both do.
Still at the intro of the video but i just wanted to say that through watching numerous videos on you tube with people sharing their lives and whatnot I have realized that most couples seek to get away from the working for someone or being in a job they no longer love or don't have any passion for anymore. This tells me that in reality we don't really care for such things as long as we are comfortable with what we have and also happy .We will do what we want to do with what we have. Its very interesting to see that this is the one theme that comes out of majority of the videos I see here on RU-vid but to get to a place where you are happy you have to work initially so its a must for all those who were not born with a golden spoon in their mouth. I am 22 and I haven't achieve anything great in life still missing a lot and I here living vicariously through these videos but what I am realizing now as I type this my time is limited and I shouldn't be wasting my time on things that don't benefit me.It is awesome to see people doing well and happy but I have nothing to my name. I am probably poorer than most people on this platform. However I want to be great and help my community. Help the world or even better improve the lives of the many and I can't do that if i am here doing nothing but wasting my time on 20 to 30 minute videos on people who have already lived a great deal of their lives and with 100% certainty are better off than I am. I am really grateful to you guys for helping me come to this realization before it was too late. Thank you. (09/07/2019) 6:40 am
Pen Lavits i have had friends that are nurses and they are able to work xtra and save a good amount of money...they live below their means s s our money away for a few years. Then they travel on a budget. Two of them took a good amount of time off and traveled. They didn’t sail, but one found odd jobs places and in other places didn’t have to work, because of saved $$. They did this in their 20’s and 30’s! It absolutely can be done. One took a total of 2 years off and traveled all over! You have to have a plan, save, make strides towards your goals continually...and it’ll be there before you know.
