my life has been filled with loud noise and stress. marines, police officer, business owner, just go go go loud loud loud. i love these moments now. people dont know what being out in this by yourself or someone that also understands can do for your mind heart and soul. the best is silent, falling snow.

Wind rain snow any weather is an adventure. As a 74 year old live aboard even staying warm through the winter is part of the trip. No surrender!.

I always love videos I see on this channel because they are always energetic and full of adventure, adventures are always good for the mind it’s too bad that most times lack of finance makes them virtually impossible

Shovel? Broom?

A masterpiece of audio visual tranquility.

Love the filming here. Timelapse from the dock with the neighboring boats Christmas lights was awesome. Music choice...ok.. just awesome everything. Thanks for making these.

Thank you for thinking to provide us with views we would most likely never see. Cheers again.

Incredible work. I love the phrase enjoying the calm after the storm. Thank you for sharing your private time and life on the boat!

This video was like a meditation. Calm and friendly. So beautifully done.

Jillian, this video was one of your best 👍 you are living your dream in spite of the storms I pray that you stay safe and warm 🙏💕💕⛵️⛵️⛵️

I'm impressed the marina keeps the water on over the winter. Our marina shuts off the water until spring and we need to carry in when we stay on the boat. But we don't have live aboards at our marina (part of yacht club) so that's probably the difference! Wonderful video and hopefully the snow/weather is done for the year but who knows! I haven't seen snow like this in years!!!

She is absolutely amazing with a camera and the editing is solid gold. Gillian,maybe it's time to spend the winter months in Florida. You already know that you and Jonas are very welcomed at our condo in Key Largo, Florida. For me. this is one of her best videos, great content......

You create this unique atmosphere of peace... it makes me sit here, ...finding peace. Young Lady, that`s great. Powerful. Thank you so much !

I have been a live aboard for 21 years. Have been through many of these winters with snow and ice. Our docks are floating and have covers over the boats. We have ice and snow so heavy I was afraid it would roll the dock over due to being top heavy. The marina is good about having dock hands shoveling the roof. They push tons of weight off of it. So much snow on the bow of my 43’ Searay cruiser would be down about 8” which is a lot of weight. I guess about 2,000 pounds possibly more. You can’t just allow snow and ice to pile up on boats because they will become top heavy. I’ve gone through the dock water freezing so you have to stay on top of it. The hose gets so stiff you can’t bend it in fear it may crack. I just let mine lay out straight. I blow the water out of the hose after use. As far as heat inside no problem keeping the inside warm. I do have a generator in case the marina dock power goes off. It’s a life you either love or hate. There’s about 5 other year round live aboard boaters on my pier and we all watch out for each other. Probably about another 20 boats with live aboards at our marina. 1,000 boats here overall. Marina staff are here year round and will do whatever they can to make sure we are all OK during the bad days. I’ve been through a direct hit by a tornado that totally destroyed the dock I was on. Fortunately no one was hurt but a lot of severely damaged boats. Mine was fine except some cosmetic damage. The plus of winter is it’s so peaceful. We have security so it’s safe. Someday I’ll move on but until then it’s just a way of life. I do 100% all maintenance on my boat and a lot of my neighbors. If you’re going to live on one it pays to have a lot of knowledge. I wish I had this young ladies talent to video and edit and I would do a video like this.

Better than TV! KZread premium is worth every nickel. To be able to watch this beautifully put together video without interruptions.

I live aboard a sailboat as well a few hundred miles south in Oregon. We had a week of freezing rain with several inches of ice accumulated. Thankfully I was well prepared as it looks like you were as well. Beautiful video of your local scenery and marina.

A floating igloo springs to mind. In my world having to shovel snow off my boat would be sending me a loud and very clear message. Love your videos and great edits.

Absolutely wild. Beautifully filmed. Great story. Can’t wait to follow along!!

There is so much at this point in the video 10:20 that I love and I can’t wait to see the rest of it but I had to stop and tell you at this point you are doing some very very nice camera work and I like your editing. Thank you for the hard work and thank you for bringing us along. Now back to your video.

Wonderful video, Gillian. As a custodian living and working in Victoria, I missed the beauty in the midst of all the shoveling. Thank you for reminding me to look deeper. Happy New Year to you both.

Being in S. Louisiana i never thought of snow and sailboats together - quite peaceful thanks for sharing

My God, it snowed a lot! The boat was loaded with snow. Congratulations! You are an incredible woman.

I live in Victoria and know a couple of people who are live-aboards on their trawler down at the marina. Their response to the snowstorm was that it was no big deal but then again, they are former Navy sailors. It's nice to see the storm from your perspective. 👍👍

My bother and his family live in Victoria, so I know this is pretty rare weather there. Glad you got through it so well! Beautiful video. It’s my first look at your channel. Love your work!

You have a beautiful sailboat. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I lived on a Sceptre 36 in Toronto during the winter for 3 years!! I know the pain and the good parts.. I'm happy to say I'm off the coast of Florida as I write this comment! On my way to the Bahamas. Yes big dreams and hard work are posible!!

Beautifully shot. I've done van life (as a climber), but even as an ex-sailor I've always wanted to do the liveaboard thing, but never have. You look to be making the most of it - congrats!

I lived in Esquimault from 78 to 81 and I don't think we ever got a snow fall like that, most I remember was about 4"(10cm). That was more along the lines of what you get back home with mom and dad. At least there an the coast it usually melts fairly quick. Hope the rest of your winter is much more be-nine, and treats you more in the normal fashion. Take care, Gillian, be safe and stay warm.

Thank you from ireland for your enchanting video. You put so much work into editing it. Thank you and God bless 🙏

WoW, what amazing footage. Great presentation. You're awesome 🙏

Sorry all, I have to say sticking it out in winter on a boat brings out our best self. Way to go! Hopefully most people have had to struggle a bit..glad you are at a dock & have the luxury of electricity, therefore heat in the cabin. (I'm assuming your marina has showers & head during winter) Your videos are great! Thanks so much for sharing.

Morning Jillian. I’ve always used a plastic dustpan from the dollar store. Won’t scratch the gel coat.

Love your videos , tend to binge a bit though 🙂. I think you are great as a couple . I love it , that you Gillian , are not afraid to roll up your sleeves and get dirty ,or use the tool box ! And your fella is great the way he supports you and always seems to listen and consider your point of view . The camera work is great ,and the area you sail in is beautiful ❤

Simple. Pure. Gold. The peace came through.

Amazing production. Fantastic soundtrack. As and old sailor I felt as though I was there. You have a real talent

wow - that is some snow fall. We are certainly seeing some weather extremes this year. Keep warm and dry. Keep the video's coming

So cool to get stuck in a snow-storm and then have to dig your way out, just makes the journey that much more fun and to say that you have experienced it and know how to handle it if you were to get stuck someday on the high north shores in a blizzard. Nothing can stop you now!

A bit more than cool. I think freezing is closer to the mark.

Beautiful scenery in your neighborhood. Do good, be safe.

I highly recommend a canvas tarp. I use to take my boom off in the winter, and used a couple of 2x4 from the mast to the back stay and a Halyard to hold up the tarp. had a zipper in the side of it next to the cockpit. i also went over the life lines and i put a couple of clear vinyl windows in it. it was great oversized full enclosure.

Good afternoon Jillian . Excellent video with outstanding production values. Absolutely incredible - but of course that's to be expected from a multi-talented offgrid woman such as yourself. Thanks for sharing a look at your life sailing out there in the great outdoors. 😎😊

Thankyou for sharing those moments alone with me.

Have you thought of making a sunbrella cover for your companionway? We have one that hangs from the top and falls over our dropboard. It is great for extra insulation from the drafts but also protects the dropboard from sun damage. It also helps keep some of the rain out. Not perfect but we find it useful, especially at night to keep the draft out! Pretty easy to make except for the snaps - we had to screw some into the fibreglass cover too but worked out in the end!

Hello Blue Moon from rainy Portland, Oregon! I live on a Buccaneer 250 sailboat and really enjoy your channel 💕

It was a beautiful peek into your life. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful life and beautiful scenery..thank you..❤

If it stays cold enough to keep it, just dig out right at the portlights to let some light in, otherwise leave the snow on deck as an insulating layer - think of it as a floating igloo. :) Nicely done video, great audio!!!

Looks like your hanging in there. Its been awhile since I've commented but I still follow your channel and enjoy it. I have the Catalina 36 and currently in Bara Mx. wish you guys where here and hope to meet you in the warm country one of these days, Power on and Happy Trails!

Wow, I think this has convinced me to get wrap around side screens to connect with spray hood and Bimini for a full cockpit enclosure on my next boat . Best Wishes, and Fair Winds. Bob😮‍💨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Nice job, thanks for sharing this, we all need to keep up the videos to help other sailors and you have some good tips in there,

Facinante realización !!! increible la estetica lograda en imagen y sonido colocando en su lugar la belleza la naturaleza y la comunion con el velero, Felicitaciones !!!

OMG! I am never going to complain about the weather whilst working on the boat again!!

You're making me miss my single-handed adventures on my Catalina 30. 🙂

Beautiful scenery ! Great music combined with poetic expressions. I really enjoyed watching your documentary. You should be proud of your work ❤ From one to five. I give you five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

I absolutely love weather like that.

Thanks for the video, excellent filming!

Makin me shiver! Stay warm. Great videoing.

That’s crazy. If I’m able to get a boat I hope it never sees snow, unless I actual get to traverse the northwest passage. That was, however, inspirational! Join The Crew

The boat looks so cozy after that snow storm...ahhh...soak it in...

Ahhh...the joys of living aboard in the winter. Just a suggestion; I always stored my water hose down below to keep it pliable. Great video!

A broom dust pan makes a great shovel for snow removal on the deck as it doesnt scratch and its easy to maneuver. I was in the same snowstorm in Maple Bay on my livaboard sailboat too. I kept the snow on the decks and cabin top for insulation as well since it was -20 Celsius. Brrr

Love the photography with your choice of music.

My wife, son and I lived aboard for ten years in Newport Beach then cruised for three years. We didn't have to contend with snow! Whew! You might buy a pair of gloves, though. Hope you enjoy that lifestyle as much as we did. Good luck to you!

hi just seen your video 1st time its great thank you

Beautifully done, sweet life.....blessings!

Wow .... amazing... thank you so much for sharing

So I stumbled on this and subscribed without realizing who it was initially. Great job Gillian! Greetings from PYC. Keep up the great work.

Gillian, I loved your video. The photography was excellent. I would love to visit that location one day, if I knew where it is located. The sunsets are killers. Might I strongly suggest that if you are going to be outside during/after a snowstorm, you try wearing gloves. Amazing how they keep your hands warm. If its snow, you can bet is is at or below freezing. A basic camping survival skill of keeping your tarp cover tight will help with the flapping noise and help prevent the tarp from tearing in the wind. And I do agree with the other poster about leaving the snow as a thermal shield against the colder temperatures. Great idea. I wish you a warm winter at your mooring and cant wait to see your next video. Good luck and stay safe.

Amazing footage. Thanks for sharing!

This is why sailors, like birds, fly south for the winter!

Fantastic video. I also loved the music. Very nicely done.

Very nice filming. Thanks to share. All the best :)

I am glad to see you taking care of your boat brooms do wonderful things when you need them usually on a daily bases love your smile keep it up. Christ Jesus loves you!

love that.. leave the snow as it insulates.. ye'r not going to sail anyway.. and .. just be patient.. 🙂cheers...

I especially loved the ending, listening to the seagulls.

Très joli reportage ; j'aime beaucoup ! Merci !

Beautiful and the snow ❄️

Great video. Love the quality and way of filming. This is just perfect to watch. With a few edits, maybe even not needed, it could go on Discovery channel and be a better documentary then what we see there! Thanks for sharing. And enjoy boat life; i have one myself too, so can relate to it very much.

Wonderful for the later christmas-spirit :) On the other hand, the snow made it a bit christ-messy for you. Glad you can always cope by now!

Admire you being alone on the boat in these circumstances ♥️♥️🥰🥰

I enjoy the angles you shoot at.

I'm in the cold at the moment so I would've left the snow for insulation. Oh, and laziness, mustn't forget my laziness. Great camerawork, chilled music, A+.

Get yourselves a heavy canvas or heavy sailcloth tarpaulin instead of that plastic one it won't flap noisily. Adding brush seals to your companion way to stop drafts & you could also fit rubber stick on window seals to the edges of your wash boards. Adding wood frames around your windows with VELCRO on them and 3mm clear vinyl as a inner layer would keep more heat in your cabin. Get yourselves some silicone hose and it will stay flexible in the cold weather.

Victoria looks good, even in snow!

Lovely Imagery - beautiful.

We have fancy things here in New England,we call them gloves and mittens!

Believe it or not the snow itself is an insulator. The temp of snow is 32 or so degrees. Against your boat it will keep that temp slowly melting from the thermal energy escaping from you hull. It's the same physics that keeps an igloo habitable in deep sub zero conditions.

I love the way you bring the coffee making to life...warm..cosy....one can almost smell the aroma. But alas it's not for me, coffee goes in the top and straight out the back...😁🙄😬

It's hard living aboard this time of year, I'm glad I have a diesel heater to keep the cold Scottish weather at bay.

Amazing video very inspiring I I will be moving onto my sailboat in April and next winter will be my first living aboard on Lake Ontario Toronto….should be interesting ⛵️❤️

You 'd melt the Heart of any Snowman ! Enchanting !

I like the way you film..looks to be there is a lot to think to live at board in winter..more organisation, protect the boat better by snow or ice..take care..🖐😃⛵️🇨🇭

Beautiful yachts video I never seen before

Great filming and editing. Very professional.

FYI: if you put felt on the door grooves where you slide your panels in like weather striping it will help to insolate your cabin. Maybe a summer project.

at 1:36 whats going on inside the boats?? hahaha love the video. The coffee looks great!

Great cinematography!

Thank Heaven winter is over. Life is easier when it's warm and clear. Soon you'll be out sailing again.

You need a hand leaf blower on the job. It works really well on snow and much quicker than using a shovel. You just need to do it when the snows fresh. 👍

looks pretty peaceful
