Thank you J, I wanted to do the situation justice and state just the facts, letting our viewers make conclusions for themselves. It is sad no matter how you cut the deck. Hoping they find a peaceful solution soon. Thank you for the compliments, if you watched our previous videos you know how Avocet is a labor of love and we are so happy to finally be cruising! Fair winds!

Fun! Interesting! Thanks for early release!

Hey now my name is Darrell, and i just want to let you two know, I absolutely loved your video! I am an anchor out from Richardson Bay Sausalito. Thank you for all of your kind word's about our home here, we most definitely need for the public to know that we are not trying to live for free or even take advantage of a good thing. But in saying that what is going on here is criminal with this harbor patrol as you called them, literally stealing are boats and crushing them at the army corps of engineer's. Both of you rock👍🏻😎

A few questions about the boats that were stolen. Were they currently registered? Taxes were up to date? I'm sure they had a full-time head pumping service so they weren't dumping overboard, right? Honestly, 90%+ of the "boats" (and I use that word in the loosest sense) in Richardson Bay are barely floating trash and every time a storm passes through a few more sink and have to be disposed of. I'm sure those responsible boat owners had insurance that paid for that clean up though... I won't bother getting into the crime and theft at this time. Let's face it, if these boats were remotely used as boats and not half-floating homeless camps nobody would have any problems. But the chance that any of them will ever meet basic safety or environmental laws is as slim as the chance they will ever leave the anchorage under their own power. No, they are just drug there as the last stop before they sink and left for "somebody else" to clean up. Most boaters have no problem with people anchoring out for a weekend, a week, a month... but this is a far cry from a boater anchoring out.

Great show

Those seaplanes are famous. I look for them every time I'm cruising through Marin. Did a Beaver ride out of Dawson City, Yukon on the way to Chicken, AK. Landed on a perfect mirror lake in the backcountry. Beyond words! If within your budget and time schedule, I would fly in one of these as they are one of the most famous, and cherished, models of aircraft in aviation history. Priceless!!

@@sailingavocet Very cool! Didn’t know the difference between yours and the “offshore”. The PO sounded like an extraordinary man and sailor. Interesting story of Richards getting ripped off, I knew a bit about that, and it was a common thing amongst the Taiwanese boat yards back in the day. The shaft coming out of the deadwood is a great/safe configuration. Similar to our Crealock 37 (hull 15 off only 16) with our prop in an aperture behind the skeg. I’ll email you guys through your website, so I don’t take up so much room here. Check out our channel, I’m not doing much with it right now, but when we get to Mexico I’ll pick it up again.

Don't think you can live full-time on a sailboat in the Netherlands. For tax and insurance purposes you need a fixed home address or you will be considered homeless.
