About the Breakup - Doodles Podcast Ep. 01 

A gentleman tells what happened but doesn’t talk about it. Well done, Bobby! Class act!

: Really liked this format. Thanks. You are a gentleman and speak respectfully of Laura. You have my respect. I wish you well in your future sailing & ventures. ⛵

I think you touched on something VERY important in the beginning of this video. “You guys only see the highlights of our lives” It is VERY important to ALL of us not to compare our every waking moment to somebody else’s highlight reel. Life is a struggle, and just because you don’t see other’s struggles, doesn’t mean they don’t exist. It’s so easy to get discouraged when comparing an every day working man, family life to Bob’s high sea adventures. Thank you for making that point! Stay grounded and soldier on.

Love & respect to you both. Good job being kind during a difficult loss

While at home due to covid 19 I have had the time to start watching sailing doodles and have caught up with all your back catalogue up until you moving into your new boat 2nd boat. Great channel love your content and the details you go into things at a good level and you seem like a real genuine guy. I think i will be a viewer for life. Single guy with a sail boat. Living the dream

Bobby, great episode and such a class act. You are an inspiration to me as I had a stroke which robbed me of my busy medical practice. Best of luck as you sail on and along

Good to know you guys split up as "friends" always a hard thing. Good luck to you both

Thx for your full honestly. Sorry to hear about the breakup. Look forward to the boat tour of your new mono-hull home!

AWESOME new set up! Sound is perfect, love the two camera perspective

Talking shit about somebody (anybody) always sounds bad. Keep your words kind. It shows class

Thanks for keeping your private life positive. I think we all enjoyed seeing Laura in her antics and joy of life. I’m sorry you two didn’t make it as a couple. Best of luck Bobby! Your videos are top notch. I can’t imagine how much time it takes to provide us with enjoyment. Smooth sky and sailing!

It’s all part of life. Things go well and sometimes not. Best wishes to you and Laura. I will say that you are a terrific videographer. Great editing and music.

Love the new boat! Happy to here your moving on.....looking forward to seeing the pups on that big boat! I am sure I am not the only one that misses the dogs in your vids.

I chanced on Sailing Doodles because it randomly came up in my recommendations so I’ve been watching the odd one over the last week or two. I love the way you guys have spent your time and you always appeared so happy together. So when this one popped up today I was shocked (I am a bit behind the times). Break ups are hard no matter what the circumstances. I wish you both all the very best in your endeavours.

Thank you for the update !! Well put :) Good luck to you and to Laura, I will be there to support the both of you!! Looking forward to the Boat tour. Thanks again !!!!

Thanks for the update.....best of luck!

INteresting addition to the Sailing Doodles! Well done Bobby for handling the breakup in a classy way, we look forward to the next chapter in " The Adventures of the Sailing Doodles" !!!

Good to hear you're helping Laura with the video revenue. Look forward to seeing the tour of your boat. I like all the teak interior. Good luck in your new adventures!

You're really a class act! I admire how you are living your life! Keep up the good work!

Sorry to hear about your break up, wishing both all the best!

Look forward to following the new Sailing Doodles adventures. Congrats on your new boat. She's beautiful.

Glad to hear how this shook out and you stepping up. I watched a couple of her podcasts and I think she could have said you were pretty classy about looking after her. As always you are the stand up guy. Really looking forward to the new channel. Great start.

Hey Bobby, As you know Im a long time fan. I was watching when you're selling your car and bike to get your first boat. Im in with the new format. Looking forward to it.

Thanks for the classy explanation about you and Laura for us all. Good luck in the future with the new boat my man. Thumbs up!

Bob, you and Laura produced some great videos which I really enjoy. Looking forward to seeing more with the new crew!

I've been following you guys off and on. Good luck to both of you, and thank you for posting your videos.

Hi Bobby, I like this new format (already suscribed). I like how you adressed the Laura issue, that was very kind from you. Keep going on man!!!!!

Fantastic new boat and film ! Keep it up . Thank you for sharing this

Bobby Sailing Doodles was the first Sailing channel I subscribed to. I really enjoy your video's, and I look forward to seeing many more of your video's..

Well done. You were the first sailing show I started watching and it was way before Laura. Don’t get me wrong, she was wonderful and do watch her channel as well. Laura has a wonderful and contagious personality and I am sure she will do fine. Sorry things did not work out for the two of you but such is life. Great to hear that you are taking care of her student loans etc., way to man up! I was impressed how you picked yourself up after your flying career was taken away, but hey, what a wonderful new life it has given you. I think you have some of the best drone shots out there and have always been impressed with the knowledge you have shared. Continued success and to more of the Sailing Doodles, I can’t wait to see the pups roaming all over the place.

I am glad to see the way you respond to the changes in your life. How you stay calm and still talk nicely about Laura. I wish her all the best just like I wish that you all the best. I am looking forward to a new season of sailing doodles, this time with the doodles.

Dear Bob, I understand that relationships have the downside and the good, as well as the separations, the separate, in sharing, get what is good and what is bad, in assessing whether it is advantageous to separate has to consider these factors. As I see it, Laura made a big, beautiful, happy contribution to Sailing Doodles. We who accompanied you miss Laura a lot.

Nicely done. Enjoy the format and looking forward to the next chapter.

Always entertaining and informative Bobby. Really appreciate your content and editing. 👍

Well done Bobby, back to basics which is exactly what you needed. Can't wait to see how you go with the new boat and format.

Nice very respectful / kind response about Laura... Good luck with this new channel

Glad to see you got another boat.. let's get back to sailing and start off on a good note..enjoy your videos and flying doodles still rocks 😎👍

That’s class. Well done. I’m glad you addressed the issue this way. Always support each other.

Enjoyed your channel since before Megan departed Bobby. Love them all. You''re a class act... well done!

I’ve been with you from the beginning, keep on sailing!

Respect man. Especially for not trashing her, and keeping that all civil. Best of luck with the new boat, and new adventures!

So happy the doodles are back on board !

Good luck Bob, always love the exploring form of sailing to different exotic locations. Great drone work, too!- Fellow corporate pilot and r/c and drone flyer.. Laura, well... Not sure what to say other than life will go forward and onward. She’ll be fine, as will You. I like the details of your sailing technique and tricks of the trade of jumping ports. Keep up the good work!.. N

Hey Bobby congrats on your new boat. Good to hear that you are able to help out Laura. Happy sails and safe voyage on your adventures.👍😀⛵

Sail on, Bobby & Mav & Goose. Looking forward to more adventures in cool places.

Great idea Bobby! Can't wait to see the sailing videos!

Proud of you for just picking up and moving on. Keep the beard. Do it. Just keep it.

Nice start for podcast. You keep the conversation moving and keep the topics and information interesting. Good luck

We here for sailing doodles bud, no explanations needed. Great job on this format!

Thanks for the great content. We have followed you for years.

Wish you both the very best. Looking forward to your adventures on the new boat. :-)

Class act Bobby, I have seen most of Laura's videos and she has seemed to handle it pretty good too, never heard her say a bad thing about you. Hope it is the same off camera. Looking forward to the new season and the podcast is awesome too. Heads up brother and smooth sailing.

Well done & handled like a true gentleman, long time viewer & will enjoy both your & Laura's videos. Now back to getting the frig working.

Best of luck to you Bobby. I vote for more doodles and I hope all will be smooth sailing from this point forward.

Your how to and maintenance videos are always great, show more of the doodles that’s why I watch. Flying doodles is excellent also. I spent a lot of time at red bird flying with my uncle when I was a kid. Good luck on your new boat, everyone will be fine.

Much love Bobby, love the new boat bro, and miss the doodles. Can't wait to keep following all your channels :)

Best wishes to both you and Laura! I'm sure you'll both have amazing journeys, albeit separately. Relationships are tough under the best of circumstance. Living under the microscope of social media would have to be unimaginable? I used to jokingly tell people that I have done for relationships what Woody Allen has done for planned parenthood. I hope your new sailing partner will be the pretty face @ 0:10? I can't wait to see more of your new boat!

It is good that you understand the bad comments and fake accounts. Keep it real. Good job Bobby. We'll keep supporting you. Hope Laura does similar for you. We'll stare at Laura and listen to you lol. Best wishes.

Best of luck Bobby. Wish you both the best, but life is all about changes. Good luck with new boat!

-- Welcome home. Looking forward to a tour. Thank you.

Glad to see everything is working out for you on the new boat and in life. Hope to meet up again soon.

Please do 5 episodes of maintenance. Those are my favorite. Just release them all at once. I enjoy the sailing and boat work more then climbing mountains and walking beaches.

You are a man with so much class! So glad I found your channel. My wife and I are close to selling our house and 10 acres! We plan on living in our nice 5th Wheel camper. My first choice is buying a Sailboat but age makes that impossible. We, all that said, you will get along great and the new crew member is great!

Bobby, Been a fan of the channel before Lala was on, and now a fan of you both and will continue to be in the future. Life changes. We both know that due to our similar health issues that changed our paths, But , that said, every relationship is a journey and a learning experience. Keep rippin, best of luck with the new Boat.

Format looks good Bobby! We're definitely going to come hang with you guys when you get back to Puerto Rico- that brings you full circle to where you started...

Bobby... great... live your own life ... move on, and full speed ahead! Thanks for all the great content! I’m a pilot and love Flying Doodles too. Trent

Looking forward to the boat tour. Thanks and good luck Laura. Sailing Doodles is driving on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life does change! I am fortunate enough to have been with the same women for 34 years. I never take her for granted and am thankful for every day that we share!

Thanks for the update on the boat and Laura. Keep up the good work.

people are vicious...it gives them a sense of power. being kind to people really takes strength.

Going back to basics. You had a great ride (sail) sometimes things does not align in the direction. It is good to be real. Thank you for posting this video.

Good job Bobby class act you had good times together she will be missed her smiling face but one must move on good luck on the new boat and happy sailing

Congrats on the CT56. I used to go sailing on my friends CT54 called Wind Eagle in the bvi. He had to sell it. We had lots of fun. One time the mast step broke due to dry rot. We were sailing to tortola when boom. A loud pop. We didn’t know what the hell happened. The mast was loose. It was crazy. Had to take in out with a crane. His boat was similar to yours. Lots of teak. Enjoy it!

Wishing you both well on future ventures and look forward to the future..

Good job Bobby, you have been through a lot since your stroke. Public life with dogs family and relationships. Airplanes and boats, what a life. Good travels

Looking forward to your new videos. Good decision moving forward. Looking forward to your boat review.

Cant wait for the doodles in the new boat i so enjoyed them and Meghan in the first videos. For me its about the sailing Wasnt so impressed lately but kept watching. God bless you Laura and them pups.

gonna miss Laura a whole bunch but I love the work you do Bobby and will continue to watch all the videos you put out.

Bobby your a top shelf man! We forget we have all had break-ups! Just yours was watched public! I couldn’t imagine what that would be like! Looks like it will be a good season!

Miss Megan and Laura, but I understand! You continue to have interesting content. Best wishes and happy holidays!

i hope you keep sailing and all remain friends. i enjoy your videos . new format is cool . i also enjoyed the old format . i know zero about sailing so i'm learning so much here

Soo true , when people ate on their computers they say what ever they want , in your face totally different . Your boat looks like a old cabin in the woods soo cozy . Im glad for you and keep up the good work .

Smart man. Best of luck to ya. I will continue to watch your stuff.

Watching for few yrs. now and have to say you are 1st class act... to bad about the relationship. Can't wait to see whats next for you. Learning lots all the time on boats and you make it all entertaining. You're a real Man. .martin tomerlin. Texas.

Bobby, you did handle this with the utmost class. Odd how much we viewers can get wrapped up in your video lives. I do have to say that it has been a little tense watching those last episodes know the end was nearing. But I do feel better about all of this after watching this vid. I have been watching many of Laura's new adventures too. Breakups do suck, but they often lead to the next adventure in life. Best of luck to both of you.

Great Podcast dude looking forward to your new Adventures

Thanks for posting the podcast , I think I heard it first as a podcast, but not figured out how to comment on audio podcasts. One trick for the outside teak is after prepping varnish (with or without epoxy) then paint with white paint ( or a color) that protects the varnish and wood and lasts so much better. If you ever want to go back to wood you sand off the paint and the wood is not full of the paint in the grain, old school trick for 'captained boats in Med/Carib' than only got sailed for couple of months a year. Cheers Warren

I was sorry to hear about it too. Thank you for starting this channel. I have been enjoying watching each show. Good luck to you.

Hard to live in tight quarters also. Memories were made and you still have a boat to sail is also a good thing, enjoy your next chapter.

Always watched your main YT channel close to it's beginning! Your video's are always entertaining but more importantly i learn a ton from you as i work in the marine world "my own business"! i will be doing my best to catch up on pod cast as i appreciate all the real info and important details you share! NPB, FL Here, Thanks Bobby!

Glad to finally hear what happened between you two, very mature the way your handling it, Looking forward to the new podcast. Best of luck. Can this boat be single handed?

Never wondered much about Laura after she left. Thanks for the update but life happens. Glad to hear she is ok but you make the channel what it is. Cool crew choices. New format is interesting. The information that gave out during doodles was always really interesting. I’m looking forward to this you know what is cool. Thanks for trying this I’m sure it will be worth checking out.

Thank you for the explanation, I wish you well.

Your friend from Dallas, TX. Great job on your delivery, respect and kindness!

Looking forward to more future videos and podcasts. Hope you release more Flying Doodles soon. Keep on living Bobby. 👌

Wow Bobby, your're a first class dude. Total respect for how your're handling the situation with Laura. Very classy. Wish nothing but the best for both of you guys.

Bobby, you really handled the public end of this well. You and Laura had a great relationship for the time it lasted, every relationship has its ups and downs, and more props to you and Laura for not making the downs public. I have lovely memories of all the women who have sailed with Doodles, and as they have left, they did do with lovely comments. Keep sailing Bobby.

Love your videos and now the new podcast. Going to miss Laura's drive for adventure. Thanks and keep up the good and informative videos.

Love the new boat. Very sorry your relationship didn't work out, but life is like that sometimes. I do have to say you are a class act Bobby in the way you are handling it, and the way you speak about her. Looking forward to the new adventures!!

So sorry to hear about your break up. I hope you both are okay apart. You're so sweet, helping her out so much. A dream break up for her. Can't wait to see more of your new boat. Sounds really groovy.
