First Overnight Trip On The Sail Boat - Solo Sailing A Tiny Home 

Man, you've grinded for this opportunity, and I'm grateful that you let us come along!!

Rod I think you named the tender without realizing it..."Comin' Along" is primo! Only thing I can say is you have a lot of faith in that chain and rope being clean letting it slide through those precious digits of yours. It only takes one burr or barney to end that day on a bad note! Get some fingerless glovies and throw them in the "never leaves the boat" locker along with that mask and snorkel and some fins! Fair winds my friend!

I can see the 2 week multi island challenge on the horizon! Can’t wait to see where this new chapter will take us

We live on a 45 foot yacht with a draft of 2.1m. we have motor/sailed the channels from Southport to Moreton many times, and haven't run aground yet (touch wood), the trick is to try and time it so that you are passing Jacobs Well at high tide, the tides in the channel flood in from both directions and meet at Jacobs Well (which is approximately half way) , so you will have the current helping you get to Jacobs Well then carry you back out. We use navionics on an ipad, the "autoroute" feature will show the correct track. Happy sailing

She was basically sailing on the anchor when that happens you can lock the tiller about 30 degrees and the current will hold her out in the stream, you may need to experiment with settings, you can also reduce the scope a little. Remember you can fish from your Yacht EH!

Just discovered your channel today. As somone who's recently dreaming of owning a small sail boat with very little experience, this has just been fantastic viewing. Cheers from the UK.

Always get a smile on my face when I see that Rod's uploaded another video, came across this channel about 4 or 5 months ago and he's got a loyal subscriber from Ireland now!! Already can't wait for the next upload!

love your video's I'm the chief engineer of a motor yacht these newer ones are interesting in watching a new boat owner learn what even a boat of this size requires and the representation of what kind of dedication they take to not only maintain but make worthy. keep it up man your passion for the life is unmatched on RU-vid.

Last weekend when there was no video of the new boat I was devastated! It's become a family tradition to watch the new Rocket video with Sunday breakfast. So happy to see you back

Thank you Rod, I went squidding last week for the first time, caught 4, cleaned them etc and learnt it all from you.

As a guy from Midwest US, I'm feeling a little envious. I'm glad you took us with you on your boat. And I hope she floats for many years to come

I remember seeing Misty for sale. It was on my shopping list but you got there first. Looks like you got yourself a nice boat. Anyway keep an eye out for a bright red Hobie trimaran on the Broadwater and I'll give you a wave. All the best.

This video felt like spending some time with a friend. It's really nice.

Excellent video as ever. If you get a lot of light wind days maybe invest in a drifter, a large jib that can catch the most of the breeze. Hope you have many happy days sailing.

Moved away from the coast many years ago. I yearn for the sea all the time. As a fisherman and camper, your videos scratch that itch, soothes me and keeps me close to the ocean. Cheers from Johannesburg, South Africa.

Always use 2 anchors one for and one aft! And add some noseum mesh around the top of the cabin so you can leave it raised and the bugs can’t get in!

Can’t wait to enjoy this video. So happy for you and your accomplishments!

Respect for you posting uncut footage. Not sugarcoating the glory of the situation. Going to make the perfect days even better to watch! Thank you Rokkit

It's just fascinating to see this great Swedish boat navigating on these latitude!! Love your boat, your landscape with sandy beaches and wonderful blue water - and your accent! Inspiring video - keep up the good work!

Seeing you learning the absolute basics by going ahead and doing it is a blast. This boat is going to be a wonderful addition to your adventures.

You’re on an awesome journey Rod, enjoying watching you suss this all out. Another top vid mate 👌👍

Love your content so much, hope to see more of the Boat and the things you'll experience with it

This really adds another dimension to your adventures; it is ridiculous how much I look forward to your videos. She is a really pretty little yacht and is great for your fishing trips. Thanks for the uploads.

Rokkit u seem such a genuine and humble honest person.. reason why i watxh ur videos.. keep it up bro

This channel is going places, with a solar/satellite wifi/supply base such as this you could camp multiple islands in a single trip. Perhaps even comfy enough for your family to join in on the fun. The vicarious adventure perhaps the world needs right now. Stay blessed and safe out there brother🙏

Loved watching quite a few sailing channels and Rokkit over past few years . Now RoKKiT gone sailing ..bingo ! Got to be my new favourite 👍👍😁

Definitely need a stern anchor on your side rod. That way you won't swing in the wind or the current and you can get yourself set up how you would like

Just remember that with sailing it is the journey more so than the destination that brings the most joy. Enjoy your vids.

One of the only RU-vid channels I like the video before I even watch because I love the channel no matter if it's fishing or not. Keep up the awesome work Rod!!

What a great van! Love when you take us on your adventures! So much fun! Mom is looking amazing!❤ Talula is a ham with the camera now!❤Yosh is adorable as ever!❤

Yeees, I've been waiting to see you take a trip on your nice boat Rob!

Cant wait to see the adventures this sailboat brings in the future.

My favourite thing is when Rod just stands up looking into the sunset and says to himself "Yeah, nah".

Advise you to pull the engine prop up when sailing, your speed will increase quite a bit. There is no rope on a boat, only line. You should pull the dinghy out of water at night/when not using for long periods of time to keep the bottom from becoming covered in growth over time. Creating a 3-4 point lifting harness and using the main sail halyard & winch will make it easy to bring .5m out of the water alongside.

expanding the range of your activities has been a fun adventure! thanks for sharing!

Rod, you have worked so hard for where you are it's inspirational. You've inspired me to start my channel 🙏

Too be able get on the water with no engine noise(most of the time) is pure heaven in my book best of luck to you rokkit I will keep watching with interest

If u tie a bucket or droug on a shortish rope of the back of the yacht it will pull it in to line with the flow of water and keep your anchor line away from your boat bottom also tie a small float to bucket or drouge to stop it from spinning or snaging the sea bottom as the boat will naturally lie to current or wind what ever is stronger or a combination of them happy sailing love it

Ayy, my boy is waving at boats. We're in the big leagues now

Sweeeet, the new adventures of Rokkit kit, thank you Rod....

I love the whole learning experience of these videos, they're great!

I am stoked for the sailing content especially with the fam!

Beautiful day. Would have been the bees knees in the Kayak.

Brother that seems like you will have many fun trips with enough room for the family. Looking forward to seeing your videos

This is awesome man. I bought my own sailboat in Denmark and have lived on it for about 6 months now. It is the greatest decision I ever made.

Put a tether on your fishing rods! You got this Rod, but you’ll learn a lot when the winds blow! Rock on Nice Guy.!

It's still the adverts. I've been waiting for this. I used to sail back home. One of the best things ever. Vicariously I live!

Great fun, thank-you for your humility and sense of adventure!!!!

this combines everything i love, fishing, sailing, being on the water and essentially camping on a boat..

Have you ever thought about doing a really long trip where you camp on multiple different islands before returning home?

So peaceful once that motor is off. That is the main reason I want to sale my boat and sail my boat. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hey! I have been watching you for quite some time now on RU-vid. I love that you have progressed to this sailing boat. Something I’d love to get into myself. Id just like to say thanks for the content & keep up the good work. It looks like you have a beautiful family too. All the best.

Hanapaa!! Action!! We learn from trials and errors and from experiences. Mahalo for sharing your passion.

I am loving the new boat man I am so happy for you! Also really digging the music at the start!

"Kicking arse and taking names!" That's awesome Rokkit! Who'd have thought heaven was a little yellow sailboat.

Thanks Rod great vid plenty of hard work getting to this point can’t wait for the long open water vid 👍

Can’t wait to see more adventures on this boat!

I really enjoyed this! Very much looking forward to more videos . Well done

The 2 happiest days in a sail boat owners life, the day they buy it and the day they sell it.

Man, I've waited for you to drop the vid.. geez.. my week goes unpleasant if I don't watch an episode from you.. keep making them brother.. some fish would've been great but yeah it's so great to see your videos.. I have such a connection with you that I feel sad if you miss a week.. thanks mate

Lovely learning by doing 👏 looking forward to your next adventure

Excellent maiden voyage! May I suggest a nice stainless boarding ladder? Would be a safe investment if you were injured and had to reboard the boat.

I truly enjoy your honesty comments.. Your real mate.

So cool to watch your videos. Thank you for the excellent commentary.

Great video buddy! I’ll bet it felt great waking up and opening the hatch after your first sleep aboard! Keep up the good work.

Get some nets to hang and keep your fruit and veg in and also maybe get some lazy jacks for the mainsail. Sweet little boat perfect for your needs

Oh shit I’m so excited for this one!! Thanks for all your hard work

Wow thank you. The kangaroo swimming was such a treat. That boat is a dream. Loved all of it.

Hey mate, love your videos from day one. I am from Maldives and I love this transition you took to sailing. Keep all of it coming. One small thing, get gloves to drop and raise your anchor. I'd hate you having an injury plus it helps a lot. Cheers!

Call your tender Love than you can sing "love me tender" as you sail along!... I'll get my coat.... 😂👍

Been waiting for the new sailboat lore to drop !

Gonna be fun, I can see your excitement.

I believe that things have a vibe, and Misty has a great one. Hse looks like a happy boat.

look small but so cute too I can spend the whole day and it's so adventurous..nice video good luck

You're so right about the cost to fun ratio of a sailboat being WICKED high. Stoked to see what you have coming, you definitely have lots of space for some comfortably long trips!

I like that dinghy.

When you started sailing and the song came ! It was top notch mate ❤️🤘🏼

I was like damn I wasn’t in the background of the vid and then bam right at the end 🤣👍

Its a new day, its a new life, great Sailor!💦👍 your sail boat looks very nice, you did good work!

Love your channel buddy. I know there's loads of work behind the scenes. I used to film a fishing show. All the best and keep up the good work!

Loving all the sailboat content! Hope you are enjoying the latest addition to your fleet aha

Yew happy for ya mate🤙mate wishing I was doing a bit of this right now.

Awesome man, have been waiting for this video!

Nice day for a cruise and exploring👍🌊

I just came across your channel yesterday and I think what you are doing is fantastic. I live in SEQ and my partner and I plan to get a boat ourselves, he's used to boats but I'm not, it will be a fantastic adventure when we do. You're living the dream!! :) :)

Good on you Rod, just great.

Man that login issue on a boat is hardcore haha, I just went through this recently. So much easier just to login, you live you learn haha. I love your new vessel, thanks for all the content.

Hi from South Africa. I worked at Riviera Marine and know the Broadwater. Also crewed for Sunday races a few times.👍

Hello from British Columbia 🇨🇦

Love your videos, I stated with an inflatable but would love to upgrade like you. Living the dream

Who else just sussed out Cliff Richards - Poor boy 👌 What a tune aye ❤️

Really enjoying this new sailing boat hey. Good entertainment.

Re swimming kangaroos : I remember there were swimming wallabes on Flinders Island in 1967 when dad was craying there. Well I was only five, and it turned out they weren't resting, they were floating dead. Dozens of them. Good to see Skippy learned to swim.

Great video Rod keep up the good work

Been waiting for this one rod thanks for the upload!

I enjoy it kit with the way you take good pictures in every moment. good work kit. I hope you are given a health kit. i follow😎

Keep up the great work and great content, got a fan here from the US

23:24. You could totally invert the dinghy over the companionway. I'm pretty sure there's enough space under the boom. It'll be like a dodger and give you covered space to stand with a tiller extension. Sorted.

Enjoy all your videos. Suggestion for set up ideas...Free Range Sailing on RU-vid just did a complete refit on their small sailboat and had wonderful ideas for storage and so much more..also an Australian couple that we follow on RU-vid. Good luck with all your adventures
