I'm wanting to go solo sailing. I've completed ASA 101, 103, and 104. Live in the midwest, so while there is river sailing, it's not like bluewater sailing. I just returned from a week of sailing on a friends Beneteau 36' on the Chesapeake, but until I can figure out what I want to do with my house and belongings, establish an income stream, and buy a bluewater sailboat, I'm stuck being a landlubber.

Looking forward to it; I'm planning to buy my first sailboat this coming season!

Why I'm selling mine next month. I've brought that up in here before. 20 years of traveling was awesome, but today... don't find much valuable in it because I did most of it alone. Im 40 now, and back on land...but ive lost everyone I used to know. Ive been gone so long, ive been left behind by the people I once left behind. Its weird. Im saddened by it. Being out on the ocean also caused a bit of de-realism in my mind. That means you start believing life isn't real. Because it seems like you're the only one doing what you do, in my case anyway. Thats why ill never be a live-aboard again. It's okay if you're cool with everyone and everything being being temporary, and always at some sort of risk. Storms, pirates... theyre all out there. Personally never had any problems with other boat people. Traveling alone is dangerous too. Taking my 32 Oday from Okeechobee to Marathon in Spring of 2021 almost killed me twice and I got arrested once. Facing my fears was satisfying. Once you learn the skills it takes to solo sail tho, you can start making your money that way. You can teach others. The main goal for many sailors are earning the Captains License so you can do charters. I personally, liked mating fishing boats for tips. You can sell fish that you catch. And eCommerce is another way to make money on water. You have too much to think about, when you're alone at sea. Dan... I feel ya buddy. And I CAN relate. Catch me in the Keys if you want, im gonna do a last trip before I finish this part of my life. For everyone else... fair winds and following seas my friends.

@@OhAwe well... in 2012 I was down in Key West when I got my first sailboat in Islamorada. While transporting it back to KW I anchored off after dark and was almost immediately boarded by FWC for no mast light. But because I had the bill of sale they left me alone. You have a certain amount of time to transport a vessel before you need to register it with a BOS. Ten days or something. I wasn't really aware of what the boat was missing at that time, and I got a $60 citation for not having a fire extinguisher. I had one, but it was expired. Afterwards, me and this KW local took my 1991 Mercedes Benz 420 SEL, my pride n joy, on a road trip to Cali. I'm writing a book with all of these stories in it. We decided to do that whole trip with only $1000, on purpose. But the car met its end in Quartzite AZ, where it disappeared on a flatbed after the helicopter flew away from the scene with a guy we had just found walking to a gas station and picked up. Troopers left us on the highway in the dark. But luckily , I had this new guys keys and his vehicle. Had to backtrack to Phoenix to get him from the hospital. He was also on his way to California. Long story shorter, I was diagnosed with Gastroparesis after the accident. My boss who owns the Gulfstream Party Boat in KW flys us back to KW where my illness forces me to sell my boat and go back to Virginia to get help. I'm a type 1 diabetic and was still living like this. Btw... Gastroparesis is a paralysis of the intestines. It was getting life threatening. But I forgot all about that citation. That eventually became a warrant for missing court. I had a no extradition warrant for years. So, in 2021 during COVID, I had rehabilited enough to set back out on a new journey. I bought my boat from Lake Okeechobee and did the canals to Stuart and the Atlantic down to KW. But I never got past Marathon because I reached Key Colony Beach in the middle of the night after my evening departure out of Miami. My backstay broke and I needed to make repairs and gas up. Here, was the closest place on Navionix to go to. The next day, as I slept on their wall while waiting for business hours, the guy woke me and ran me off. He said the old rich lady owned that whole stretch and she doesn't like sailors, wanted me off her wall. So... while be forced and refused my business. I take a 5ft deep cut over to the Marriott where they gave me a few days on their wall to do repairs. But they were really bothered by it and made a lot of pressure for me too. So, when I went to leave after doing everything I had to do... I ran aground in the low tide. They wouldn't let me stay til high tide at 7pm, and wanted me gone by 5pm because they "needed the wall for customers and visitors". When I ran aground, I decided I'd wait there til daylight. But in the middle of the night, the thru-hull drain for my sink broke at the water line, I guess from leering - and filled my aft cabin, the hull, and the galley with 2ft water, submerged the atomic 4 and I woke up in that. My laptop was floating by my knee. Boat keeled over. This was around 5am. Nobody was awake and there were only a couple boats in this small cut. So, I got off and took a cab to a friend's house nearby. Went back on scene at 8am and cops had already been called. They see that I had those warrants and arrest me. The cops almost killed me in the jail because they wouldn't manage my insulin. I went to the med bay and they still neglected me. I begged for a hospital. It was crazy because this was over a $60 citation. My sugar was over 400 the entire time. But it gets worse. Before I left Virginia, I knew I needed to handle that warrant. So I called the prosecutor and explained the Gastroparesis situation and why I left, but also needed to come back. They said "cool, just send us and the court the money you owe and we'll wipe the warrant off your record". I sent the money before I left. They had it by time I got to Florida. I thought everything was fine. But it wasn't cleared on my record. Those cops arrested me, then I was abused, mocked by the staff ALL FKN NIGHT. Nurse said "it's not MY fault you came in here all fcked up". I said "ma'am , im not even supposed to be in here" and she probably hears that a lot. But a vicious little ass she was. The nurse! When I saw the judge, the prosecutor confirmed everything and the case was dropped. But that's just an admitting of guilt. I'm also going back to sell the boat to get lawyer money for that lawsuit. This is just one small chapter of my book. This was the simplest way to answer your question. Sorry so long. Wait til you find the whole thing on a shelf somewhere....

Sidenote: when solo sailing, if you can't keep a ladder down, always drag a rope. If you're in open water alone, fall off your boat for any reason, you could be done if you can't get back aboard. Use tie lines for security when working on deck and stay within eyeshot of other boats. And if you're gonna be on water more than a year, or tallied accumulated time... get that Captains License. It's affordable and expected of you.

Owww, very well said Chris.

In a few days I'll be 86. My solo sailing adventure really begins then. Last year was bringing the boat home with a crew from Buffalo, NY to Sturgeon Bay, WI. Yes, I'll have a crew occasionally, but my plan is solo sailing on Lake Michigan for days or weeks at a time on my Dickerson 41 ketch. I'm looking forward to a summer unlike any I've experienced to date. I enjoyed hearing your take on the social aspects and personal loneliness.

Solo sailing would be a vast improvement on my social life.

Dan, very relevant perspectives. I retired 6 years ago and bought a 4x pickup with a popup camper, special suspension, etc...all to go remote in the southwest. And believe me, there are places in AZ and Utah where you might not see another person for weeks, and very spotty cell coverage. Being alone is one of life's greatest teachers. I tell people there's a big difference between being lonely and experiencing solitude.The motivation to get over that hump for me was the desire to be present and feel alive. Very little in contemporary culture fosters being present, yet without it, the experience of being human is vastly limited. Keep up the good work! Also next up is getting another boat to go solo. Most likely in the Caribbean.

Cheers buddy, thanks!

Hey Dan. Love your channel and this episode alone makes me want to live that life even more. I'm 42 and I find so much solace in solitude. I feel I was built for this. I love living alone and always wanted a tiny home in the mountains. But the older I got the more I see being on the water more of a better fit for me. It would be an extreme culture shock to wake up and just do what I wanted to do any time I wanted because I work. I over work. I pull 7/10's. And for that to just end would probably be the oddest change for me. And it's a change I daydream and think of every single day from hitting the alarm in the morning to turning it back on at night. Early retirement is 4 short years away.

I encourage all misanthropes like me should go sailing. You are out there I know. When having books and the ocean you don't need people. I am taking my first sailing lessons next month and go from there, inspired by this channel. So thanks.

Dan, it just occurred to me how good your talking and presentation skills are. Something I know a little about. I'm sure, if you wanted it, you could have a very successful career in the mainstream media. Then again I'm sure with your attitude you could be successful at just about anything you put your mind to. And, besides these days KZread is really where it's at. But most impressive to me is, you seem to keep your ego in check. I don't know you do it, but whatever you're doing keep doing it. For so many other KZread presenters, their ego takes over and spoils it. It quickly becomes all about them and not the subject at hand. Anyway, I hope to meet you one day anchored off a beach somewhere and the chances are good for that happening. Stay, humble, free and grounded. Look forward to talking to you. Pete

Hey Pete, cheers buddy. I've been humbled a lot by life. That's helped keep my ever large ego in check. :) Hope we meet as well. :)

Hey Dan, thank you so much. I have lived a very lonely life in the mountains here in NZ, I still have the urge to go Sailing, so i bought a tiny boat '21 feet', to sail around nz. I feel like my mountain time has prepared me for being alone on the water. I relate to you and i am hard on myself not giving in to solitude. Cause it is the biggest muscle to train and learn to know yourself to the bone. Once you know yourself soo well, its so much easier to achieve anything, and i have this clarity of mind and peace in my heart more than ever before. Yet there is a desire to have a family and friends. When im in social events, i have learned to turn the switch easily; 'now im with someone and i'm adapting well to this and this feels soo nourishing. I literally feel my body loving the compagny im in. So all is to be learned in once own curious and creative way, and thats the beauty of this all. It also helps if you have really good gear and lots of toys, like i see you do, they distract you from your solitude and ofcourse being able to share your adventures with the world makes a massive difference! Really well captured, thank you heaps. Happy sails.

I’m a solo sailor. Thank you for this. One of my biggest fears is getting hurt while being alone. It’s made me take fewer chances, which is a good thing, for me. I never thought about the loss of social skills, though. You make a good point, there. I have yet to feel lonely. The cruiser community is so outgoing and one of my favorite things is to meet new people and listen to the stories they tell. And sailors always have the best stories! I hope to see you out there one day!

I spent the better part of my young adulthood where people never saw me alone. I was so afraid to go anywhere by myself. But then I bought a boat and did some weekend cruising where I would just go off grid and spend 3 or 4 days by myself on anchor, and I loved it! The freedom to do what I want without having to convince someone to go with is the best! I’ve always been a hyper social kind of person so when I need human contact, there’s always some to be had, on shore. I also like to have a rum drink with people who don’t go all out and treat drinking like a competitive sport. But I don’t have to drink to have fun. If everyone else is, I’ll have one. If no one else is, I’ll refrain. Read the room, so to speak. Taking on crew is a must for solo sailors, at times. For longer passages in coastal waters, it becomes a safety issue. Live and let live has always been my philosophy. I have the Ten Commandments on my boat: 1. I am the lord they captain, there shall be no higher authority aboard my ship 2. Thou shall never disobey my order 3. Thou shall never tell me a lie 4. Thou shall never lose thy cool 5. Thou shall never take strong drink other than with my permission 6. Thou shall not sleep on watch 7. Thou shall not waste water 8. Thou shall not hassle thy shipmate 9. Thou shall not piss to windward 10. Thou shall not bitch The most important of which is #4. That includes the captain. There are time when scolding has its place. But generally, it has adverse affects. I prefer small towns over large cities too. Small town people tend to be more friendly and outgoing. Im currently in the Chesapeake and the eastern shore has some of the best people you’ll ever meet. Some one once told me, “nothing is interesting if you’re not interested.” I like to get involved and help people out when I can. It’s better to be alone than with the wrong people. And in my life, I’ve been with a lot of the wrong people. I wish you all the best in your adventures and it you ever see Star Fire in an Anchorage and my dinghy is there, please come knock on the hull! I’d love to meet you and I enjoy meeting new people. I’d love to trade sailing stories with you or talk about any number of things that may or may not have relevance to the world around us. Dirty jokes are a thing I like to share too! I have lots of those too! And some clean ones.

I solo sail most of the time. I love being out there alone and the only person I have to count on is me. Sure there’s a risk if something goes wrong but my boat (393 Oceanis) is set up so that I can do pretty much everything from the cockpit. If not, I’m leashed.

Great videEverlreat insight! I've been alone on my boat for 4+ years, absolutely love the freedom, the destinations, the self-reliance, the peace and quiet, getting to really know yourself, doing what you want - when you want.... loneliness not a problem, when in need of company, I call family and friends, otherwise I go ashore and have a good time. Yea, social skills take a knock, so have to,watch out for that. . Safety a big concern, so always take extra care knowing I'm alone, no one to bail you out of difficult situations. Everything you said is pretty spot on... luv it! Keep the vids coming ⛵

I have been solo traveling for the past 20 years for work. My job is a project engineer and I spend 3-5 weeks at a remote town working on my project at a paper mill or mine. Now I do have people to talk with but it is still lonely and really lonely when you are in a foreign country where very few people speak English. But I have learned to like it and I tend to find a coffee shop or café where there are young people. Sometimes I just sit there and enjoy being around people sometimes I start a conversation. It has changed me and when I get back from a trip I need to be left alone for 1-2 days before fully engaging with my family again. But still not the same as 1 month (or longer) solo sailing. When I travel if there are boats around I walk down to look at them. I have noticed many solo sailors forget the need for personal grooming once they are back on shore. For example last month I was talking with a solo sailor in Washington NC and his nose hair was extremely long. PS I will be retiring on May 31 2024 and one of my bucket list items is to sail non stop for about 1 week around Lake Erie and pretend I am crossing an ocean.

Great video! I live aboard and sail solo most of the time. I share a lot of your thoughts on this. Like you I enjoy the freedom and self reliance when solo, especially on long offshore passages. The challenge is unique, a constant 1 on 1 battle with nature for control over one’s destiny! I enjoy the challenge of the mental discipline required. When coastal sailing I do like crew from time to time to share experiences ashore. I have a very small list of trusted crew that I know and get on well with. (Very laid back like me!) The ultimate for me is when I am sailing on similar routes with other solo sailors. We each have our own boat, space and freedom to go our own way but, when we operate synergistically we have company and security as well.

Being a KZreadr is one way to combat the loneliness, we have a great relationship with lots of our viewers, 28M views and lots of comments. But being an RVer vs a sailor, we have a big advantage to get with people easily. Im with you we have been adventuring continually for over 4 years, and we also dont party and dont drink, and are uncomfortable around people who do. I am worried that if i was solo, i wouldnt last long, i would do something dangerous like kiting alone, jumping off cliffs or something make a bad decision and the end. Larry

Great questions and points. I'll try to cover this in a upcoming video. Look out for my upcoming "How To Crew" video.

In my mind I think I'd be fine solo sailing. I enjoy alone time...but I'm not really alone. My social skills are lacking without solitude. I'm a family man with grown sons. My wife and I love each other but don't participate in 'couple' activities....which is fine for both of us. I do agree with you on practicing those social skills. Many times I've found myself ready to bail on whatever function is presently got me distracted. Many will say 'you're not committed to anything but yourself' I disagree. I enjoy meeting new people and listening to there tale of life. Unfortunately, I tend to interrupt with my own 'sea-stories'. Such is the life of an adventurer.❤

As a fellow solo sailor... I would add workload. You get to do all the tasks - no parallel worker is preparing food, or standing watch. Prepare to be active - all the time.

Very interesting

For someone, who wants to be connected, I notice you refuse to tote a CB radio. They're cheap and common. They're easy and renewable. On a boat, they're good for maybe 60 miles, but skip can occasionally boost that to thousands of miles. Receive is about 250 milliamps, so wattage is a smaller concern. It's incredibly easy to set up an antenna on a boat. Lonely passage has no special appeal to me. There are crewing websites, so why not use them?

I am solo sailor while I sailed solo from Amsterdam to Mallorca by ocean and without auto pilot and more,,,, I prefer solo, femaleS Crews welcome from time to time

Solo sailing isn't something you can do tomorrow. Firstly you must be able to sail - with the highest level of competency. Most solo sailors I have met are veteran sailors - they grew up sailing. Solo sailing is nothing new most have sailed a single handed boat at some stage. I would expect the feeling which concerns many is not loneliness but anxiety. I think if i was unsure of my skills i would always looking over my shoulder concerned i might be confronted by something i didn't have the skill set for. Most experienced sailors have sailed single handed without realising it. Like doing the midnight till 4.00 watch while everyone else sleeps. Fitness is also essential. Not hours in the gym but short distance sailing single handed. If you are sailing a 25footer or a 55footer then she must be your training tool. Hoisting sails, getting out of a marina, reefing, dropping an anchor or picking up a mooring, lowering and fastidiously furling sales build the physical and mental surety you need. Cross country running and ocean swimming add to your fitness especially when done alone - against a clock no one else. Cooking healthy meals for your self is essential - living on packet food is not really sustainable. You must do drills somewhere safe and still to start like climbing the mast and getting back on board after you "fall" in. Then while in motion and at sea. You must develop the discipline - step out of the cockpit with a harness and an inflatable life jacket -regardless of how calm and sunny it is. Solo sailing is like a heavenly dream when you are ready!!! The arch angel Hughie is always there for you, as is God if you need her. All your friends and mentors are there as well just let your mental and instinctive physical fitness be your skipper.

When your solo you meet more people. You have more freedom.

I did most of the stuff you’re saying but for you not to want to go hang out with people because they’re drinking. It’s just insane if you’re not 18 years old anymore, people can handle their liquor better than you think. I don’t think there’s been a night in my life where I drink so much. I didn’t remember the previous night. Some people just get loose and open up when they drink and that’s why they want to doesn’t mean you’re gonna have a bad time just because you don’t want to. You’re probably missing out on a lot of good times and memories because of that.
