In our quest for seeking out a more healthy and sustainable lifestyle, we made a plan that includes zero waste living, tiny home living and full-time travel. We considered buying an RV, looked at trailers and airstreams but settled on doing a bus conversion for our off-the-grid, tiny house on wheels. We bought a 1996 MCI 102 D3 coach bus and with the Bus Demolition and Interior Shell complete, we turned it into our Tiny Home on Wheels and are now traveling!

    Now I see why you were emotional when editing that one! How spectacular! I've seen one whale on this trip! I couldn't imagine being surrounded by them! Loved it!!!

    Whoop whoop Happy 💃 dance time. And Hola from New Mexico 🌵🌶️...Glad you got your home back. That was a great tour of the Ford Garage. Back in the early 80'' we lived in a used Ford Econoline that was used for a telephone truck and had heavy duty suspension. We cut out the top and made with plywood an aerodynamic top so we could stand up, the front was curved and our cupboards were on both sides of the top. It was pretty unique and I have not seen another design like it plus we got good gas mileage. Those were the days where there was no cell phone or solar. I'm in my70's now and living in 5th wheel but not really traveling. Cruz so happy to be home also. On the road again was my theme song when I was in my late teens and 20's.

    Happy anniversary! You should buy & convert a construction barge to hold your bus securely. Install a set of red/green/white position lights on the bus for when it's paired with the barge. Design the wheelhouse so its door lines up with the bus door and add an upper level or crows nest. Make the rest of the deck space into a wraparound porch for the bus. For bonus points install rollers under the drive wheels of the bus and connect them with auxiliary propellers to get a few extra knots!

    I couldn't wait to comment, because yesterday, (9/7/23), we took the exact trip on the "Red Head" after seeing your video. My wife and I decided to take this trip and were not disappointed. Seeing those Orcas, and Humpbacks, Puffins, Seals, and Sea Lions were awesome. Since we live in Shelton, just off Hwy 101, it was a short drive to Port Townsend. And, as an added beneterwas also the prelude to Port Townsend's annual "Wooden Boat Festival", so it was a treat to see many many wooden boats that normally would not be there. Thanks so much for your video which sparked our interest in taking this day trip too. Congratulations on you Anniversary too. .......Russell D. and Debbie D.

    Happy Anniversary!!! What a fun way to celebrate. Love Port Townsend. Good thing you brought your lunch because I've always found Friday Harbor to be rather spendy. Looking forward to where you go next.

    Happy Anniversary. I could live on a boat. I have thought about it for years. It'd have to be big so I could travel the ocean. One of those billionaire yachts would be nice.

    Happy Anniversary. That was an awesome sight seeing the whales. I have been on a boat to watch dolphins and then on to see some bull nosed whales that were about the same size as the dolphins. I was at the front of the boat waiting to see the dolphins but soon everyone got in front of us so I went to the back on the starboard side and I think I had an even better view.. brilliant to see. Have a wonderful week.
