Phew there are many reasons you should NOT buy a boat.
First of all, the water is uncontrollable, things break, it's hot and sweaty, things break, bugs are always biting you, it's hard to get food and water on board, and oh... did we mention, things break.
So why did we buy a boat?
We chose to live on a boat because one tiny seed was planted 5 years ago when visited Honduras. You never know when or where seeds for your future will be planted and what dreams you may have.

Great message there! I agree with you wholeheartedly! Living on a boat is HARD!!! But I know you'll never regret having spent this time together and all the adventure you've had. I wish you the best in the year to come. We don't know what we're going to do either. It's still totally up in the air. Many blessings, Betsy and crew

@WanderingKnapps 4 года назад

Thanks girl. I appreciate it. We are going to pull out in Key West soon, do some repairs and head out in November from where we met yall. Maybe this time we'll go together. What's your timeline?

@elainefuehrer5739 3 года назад

your videos explain so much, while im not a life on the water type person im enjoying watching your family on the water. We have 3acs and grow things.I lived in Alaska 30 yrs and really wanted to move to the Caribbean when i left..but didnt. maybe one day ill visit before Jesus comes!!

@alisavas9526 4 года назад

It doesn't matter where you live and what you do, not every single day in life can be another day in paradise! There will be good days and bad days. If I had the choice, I would chose to be on a nice boat somewhere in the Mediterranean or Caribbean, miserable or not, over what I’m doing now, which is working at home from my tiny shed-office in my tiny garden with a view of a garden fence, in the cold and rainy North of England! Then again, my life is probably somebody else’s dream life, because I have a job, I have a shed, a garden and a house! Everything is relative in life and I think the trick is to enjoy it and improve it as much as you can! Hence, I put lots of hanging baskets in the garden, so I don’t see the ugly fence anymore! You’re a lovely family and may calm seas and bright sunshine define the rest of your voyage.

@WanderingKnapps 4 года назад

That's such a great perspective. Your place does sound lovely, but yes, no matter where we are there will be days we don't enjoy.

Enjoyed. Just showed my hubby your tour of the boat video.. ours us only 23ft. Hoping one day to move up

@WanderingKnapps 4 года назад

Thank you for watching! We had a 28 foot cabin cruiser in TX. We dreamed of living aboard for years before we did it. Thank you again.

Just a fantasy of ours to buy a boat and live on the Mediterranean for a few years . Nice to see a “ day in the life “ . Thanks for this vid . Eye opening

@WanderingKnapps 4 года назад

Thank you for those kind words. Can't wait to hear about you on your boat. Enjoy the journey

@danielburris8342 4 года назад

Wow. How crazy is this?. I went to Roatan about 7 years ago and decided I wanted to buy a house there. I was married at the time, but that came to an end just 2 years ago. I am about to buy my 3rd boat ( I do not currently own one ) and move down to the keys to live aboard. My son is 12 so my long term plans are to get my captains lic. Save money and when he is 18 travel around the Caribbean. All sparked by the cruising life. Too bad you dont get more time at ports on cruises. But soon, I'll have all the time i want. Thanks for the video.

@mahimahiaddictioncesargonz5445 3 года назад

Good or Bad journey can happen in Land or at Sea 🌊 Just have Fun Fun Fun 😜

@never2oldadventures 4 года назад

Great statement, enjoy the journey and learn along the way. Hope all is going well in your part of the world? Do you ever truly get adjusted to living on a boat? Stay safe! Until our adventures cross.....

@WanderingKnapps 4 года назад

That's a great question. I think we are pretty well adjusted. We miss some of the conveniences of a house..... dish washer.... Thank you for watching!

You are not going to regret doing this. My only cruising regret, was that we didn’t do it earlier, and younger, when our kids were your kids ages.

@RenlangRen 4 года назад

Living on a boat has to be a fantastic adventure for a pack of young boys.

@ranger3484 2 года назад

New to the channel. Wife and I sold the house. We’re looking to become full time cruisers. We’re living in a rental until we find our boat. Did you pursue a powerboat school…get a six pack (even though not really needed). I’m a mechanical person but have so much to learn before we step onboard. We want to operate our boat ourselves but don’t want to the marina idiot. We have about a year before moving on board. What can/should I be doing now to set me up for success?

@WanderingKnapps 2 года назад

Congrats on step 1. If you need more info Chris does offer consulting and boat brokerage. The best place to learn is truly hands on. We did get captains licensed, and that was helpful, but until we were in the situations needed, it was just on paper. You'll do great!

@lorenzocutaia6970 3 года назад

I'm sure you been asked 1,000 times...what kind of boat/brand /type/size do you have? Also, do you have/want a Seakeeper? Keeping you and your family in prayer for safety and enjoyment on your voages!!

@WanderingKnapps 3 года назад

Hey! We do get asked a lot, and that's great. We have a 1987 Marine Trader Tradewinds 47. 3 state room, 2 heads. We do not have a sea keeper, would love one if it was donated, unfortunatly they are more expensive than our boat is worth. Check out this tour for more boat stuff. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HpGkqS3-egg.html

what is your long term plans as the boys get bigger and how do you handle that financially? not sure how you funds are or how you afford your living.

@4406bbldb 4 года назад

Eat garlic, it really helps with bites. Ps. Eat plenty and if you use a supplement form you can have low odor.

Interesting video. Are you all retired and financially secure to be able to have a young family and boat all over the Caribbean? Just curious how this works.....

Unfortunately we are not retired or independently wealthy. We actually posted a video answering this exact question we get. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-boKZzxRQTvc.html
