Such a wonderful and dynamic couple. With an amazing boat. They are a true example of people being able to live out their dreams. I honestly wish to join them when I retire... if not much sooner!

@larrysherk 5 лет назад

Same length as Capt. Joshua Slocum's boat, the Spray. That's probably the end of the comparison. He wintered in Australia and loafed his way home to Newport Harbor in the middle of the Spanish American war. His great little Nova Scotia journal of his trip is beautifully written, a great read, and never goes out of print. About time I read it for the fourth time!

@daktarioskarvannederhosen2568 Год назад

the 'spray' was 36'. i see no similarities.

@garysouza2277 5 лет назад

I love these guys!! KISS method, go now. Take what you need, not what you want. 25 years ago, 35' was considered a decent size for a cruising boat, now people want generators, kayaks, everything plus the kitchen sink. But these guys are doing it with what they have, and picked a good boat to go in. Kudos to them!

@SailingAquarius 5 лет назад

Cool Change might be smaller, but they seem to have everything they need. Rick and Cindy seem to be very comfortable in their floating home.

@benlindner5285 4 года назад

Great to see another small PS doing some serious cruising! Mine is 27' Orion, before I owned it my boat sailed to Hawaii and back several times and spent 2 years cruising in Mexico. It had a wind generator at that time but it broke down and was removed, I think I will have to think about a new one. However not getting much out of it until it is over 15 knots is disappointing for a $1500 investment. The previous owner was able to cut energy needs in HALF by changing to a Technautics refer unit. Perhaps Rick and Cindy could save some power with a more efficient unit?

@waynemcphail7825 5 лет назад

Great interview!

@shananagans5 5 лет назад

Great set up. Those are SOLID little boats. I would feel safer on your little 31 than I would on many other 45 or 50 footers. In bad weather you may get bounced around a little more but you know it will stay together and get you home. I will deal with a little more rocking & rolling for the true comfort of knowing I am as safe as possible.

@SailingAquarius 5 лет назад

I would have to agree with everything you said! Happy Holidays

Hello Aquarius crew: I have been following you now for a while. Initially, I was not sure whether I wanted to follow you. Compared to many others of your compatriates you come across very down to earth. However, I have come to appreciate your reporting by now because I find it just much more realistic. I am in the process of deciding for myself whether or not to go thru that kind of a lifestyle change. I am excited but not sure and appreciative to get your side of the story. So thank you very much and Good Luck. Uwe

Uwe, Yes, we wanted to be more realistic with our channel. Showing some of the, not so great, things you see with living on a boat full time. You will see soon there are lots of changes out here!! Fair winds

@g.stephens263 4 года назад

I grew up on a 31' Casey Cutter (wooden boat built in 1940). Like the Pacific Seacrafts, it was beamy and built for comfort. Lots of space for a family of four on two week long cruises on the Great Lakes. I appreciated her sailor-like vocabulary, I mean who goes "downstairs"!? LOL

@YachtHunters 3 года назад

I have sailed all my life and I always get the same question similar to that asked of mountain climbers which is have you climbed Everest. In my case is have you sailed across the ocean or even more aggressively have you gone around the world yet. The following question is simply how big of boat do you need to do either of those. As we have seen over the years people have tried it Space in rowboats all the way up obviously to mega yachts. But it’s great to see and learn from those who are actually out there doing it a lot of the little tricks and tips you need when you decide to haul in your dock lines and head out. If a picture is worth 1000 words the videos are worth 1 million. Thanks for this Storey and I will look forward to hearing others as you all circumnavigate

@larsbee 2 года назад

I have another trivial question for u ... who has more experience, the sailor with one circumnavigation and 5 years of sailing or u with ur 50 or even 60 years and counting of sailing? 🤣

@RealityIsTheNow 5 лет назад

It's not really the future...cruising boats have historically been smaller than today on average. It's only more recently that boats have crept up in size as people demand more creature comforts. The most famous blue water cruiser of all time is probably the Westsail 32, bear in mind. And 31 is not "small." Check out the Orion 27 or Dana 24, two other far smaller boats from the same manufacturer, both of which are also excellent blue water cruisers.

@virtualmojo 2 года назад

@kennethhammond6683 5 лет назад

31 ft is no a big boat for sure but is clearly adequate to get you to your destination, in reasonable comfort and a high degree of safety. Best of luck on your future passage making.

@SailingAquarius 5 лет назад

Cool Change is a very safe boat! But that has to do with the safety features when the boat was designed. The majority of 31 footers would not be as safe as Pacific Cool. Fair Winds

Yeah, there is nothing noteworthy about sailing a 31 foot blue water boat on a transpac. It was designed for it. Even the much smaller 24ft Dana that the same manufacturer produced would have no problem. Boats don't have to be large to be seaworthy.

@joannadee3 4 года назад

My 29’ Farallon has crossed the Pacific 4 times with no more than a sextant and paper charts. Not unheard of for even smaller boats crossing oceans. Been seeing a lot of vids these days claiming even a 40’ is “tiny”. Matter of perspective I suppose. Btw my Farallon is for sale in Oregon if anyone’s interested.

@SailingAquarius 4 года назад

For those that cross in a 21 foot sailboat, a 40 footer would seem large! For those that make the crossing in a cruise ship, a 53 foot Super Maramu would seem tiny. There are few people (maybe 100 or 200 that are alive today) that have made any significant crossings in a boat less than 30 feet, but there are 100,000's alive today that have made crossings in boats larger than 30 feet. This would include all those crossings made in cruise ships. So, people should ask the questions... To whom is the narrator trying to reach? To the vast majority of sailors that cruise the world, and I am not including those on anything larger than 64 foot, a 29 footer would seem tiny!

@mikehartmann5187 4 года назад
