Boat specs below ⬇️
In life, you aren’t guaranteed much, and living on a sailboat can sometimes accentuate that fact. Mother Nature rules our lives, and sometimes she can be a shifty old gal. Because of this, we watch the forecast like hawks, but local weather can be challenging to predict, and so our stunning new anchorage was short lived. Last week we found ourselves picking our jaws up off the floor at the beautiful coastline the morning after our first overnight sail complete with a couple dolphins viewed from our new found bow seat. The next day however we awoke to an unpredicted shift from NE to NW winds and rapidly deteriorating anchorage conditions. We tried muscling through a day of work, but with the new forecast update now showing the wind building and shifting even more against our favor, we decided to abandon the area entirely. Thankfully the boat sharing the anchorage agreed and has a track that can lead us to their previous anchorage, that would offer much better protection.
The catch? It’s 22 miles in the direction the wind is coming from, it’s supposedly blowing 30 knots out there, and it’s 6pm so the sun is setting. If Courage wasn’t here (yes their boats name is Courage how ironic) I’m not sure what we would have done that evening because the prospect of entering an unknown anchorage alone at night in these conditions didn’t sit well with us. Our good friends the dolphins came out to reassure us that we made the correct decision as we were leaving the anchorage and with the game plan to motor sail a couple miles north and then bare off for a better sailing angle, we were feeling confident in our decision. Lets see how it goes!

I was scrolling and found your channel by accident. It is good to see a sailing channel that is SAILING instead of finding a new party spot & hitting fancy restaurants every day.

From 20K subscribers on Feb 14th to 37K today. Almost doubled in less than 3 months! I see 100K by the end of the year! Great people, great content. Keep up the good work! I appreciate being able to tag along with you in your journey through life!
Congrats on 20K, now 37K. The sky IS the limit. I see 100K before the year end. Honestly, your content is excellent and such a joy to view each week. Cheers!

Agree. You two are doing great!
Truly an unbelievable episode, watching the dolphins splash in a rough passage must be music to your ears. I started watching your channel nearly a year ago and each episode gets better and better. Thank you so much for sharing.
As I watch this you have 37k subs. I have followed many sailing channels the number of subs you get is all about likability and honest. Thank you for sharing.
I admire folks like you who make a life choice to live as nomads of the high seas.

I know right, it’s accidental…
What a great video! I sailed in my 20’s and 30’s and loved it. Thanks for giving us an adventure.
A few decades ago I was a live aboard with dreams of cruising internationally. Unfortunately life throws wrenches in some dreams and that one was not realized. So I live vicariously watching your channel. I was owner of a 45-ft Hunter Legend sloop and enjoyed the dolphins showing up when we were sailing down the outside of the east coast of the U.S. to warn us off the shoals near Hattaras. Yes, they are special creatures.
The sometimes hilarious manner in which you tell your audience whats going on is the best way to be. Relaxed and with a bit of humility. Great Job guys and Katie I think you need another pair of polarized sunglasses
Congratulatons on achieving in excess of 37K+ subscribers as you have defintely earned them. I became a subscriber awhile back, but had to binge watch to catch up not long ago. I have totally enjyed watching the growth and progress that you and Katy jhave made, going from Seawind to Boundless and hardwork the two of you have put in to make this a great sailing boat and videos. I look forward each Sunday for the latest video. Stay safe and continue the great sailing videos.
Hello. I am from Chile and I just found your channel. I can see you love sailing and aventures in the sea. I enjoyed your video, the landscapes and everything You share. Thank you. Keep on making videos.
WOW, thank you for all of the comments everyone. We LOVE reading everything you have to say. It continually inspires us to keep making great videos. ❤
Another great video - videography, sound, & edit was on point! Very positive and upbeat content - you and Katy seem to be thriving! Note to other viewers: I'm subscribed with my notifications on so I get alerted when a new episode goes live (fantastic)! In addition, I click like as I start to watch so I won't forget, and since I'm a fan of the channel I know I'll like it. Finally, I try to think of a comment as I'm watching because I consider leaving a comment my way of giving back. Katy & Parker are a wonderful young couple and both are clearly great humans who are living their best lives right out in the open and sharing it with us!
Fun. Tnx for taking me along 😊
Awesome! Congratulations on being over 37k subscribers at this point! Love to watch your adventures ❤️
It's great to be with you both. If I were only about 20 years younger I'd be right out there with the both of you. Say very safe. It's great to keep up with you both. Dave
Enjoying your life style! Good luck during your travels!
Surpassing 20000 subscribers is great. I love your videos and the stories told.
Parker and Katy, Congratulations on surpassing 20,000 subscribers. Cheers! Faithfully, James

Thank you so much, great vid. :)
Katy, my daughter in law, Katie Ross, just asked if I subscribed to your channel. We have a Catalina 400, and she knew I watch some sailing channels. Apparently you and she were in the same yoga certification class in Pittsburgh before you started this sailing adventure. Small world. All the best!

Congratulations. Go SeaWind, Go Boundless!
It's funny watching this and it's valentine's day for you at 20k subscribers. Because as we watch this during the first week of May, you're already at 37k subs
Congratulations on your 20,000 subscribers . I love watching your videos, 🎉🎉🎉🎉
How nice to watch your videos! They are very informative 😘😘
It's a really great idea to be wearing your harnesses when the wind picks up like that and you're beating towards your next anchorage!
First time watching you guys, loved it!
Congratulations on your 20k subscribers! You’re a lovely channel to watch just keeping it simple sharing your lives with us - thanks for that. Now just got to convince my wife to go on an adventure too.
Another great episode. CONVGRATS ON 20K

Thanks so much! Just rolled over 37k today which is wild!
The green flash occurs in crystal clear conditions for the refraction of light to occur. There were too many high clouds that day. Wonderful you connect the cosmos to the sea and our awesome blue planet!
Commenting for algorithm … want to see you hit 50,000 by June 14th 🤞!! Excellent content and editing 👏😀❤!!
The stars are so brilliant being out on the dark ocean and looking up at the sky so clear absolutely beautiful😊
Con grats guys
I just subscribed, thanks for the Sailing Adventures.
Hello there, Just wanted to say hi, We spend 2-3 days each week on our trawler as a summer escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I followed the journeys of two sailing couples from different regions. Their lives evolved, and I eventually moved on to new interests. Keep pursuing your dream. We hope you continue to live the adventurous life we once did, even though we’ve now found comfort in our safe harbor. Warm regards, Nat Linda
Just found you! Will start at #1 because I came south through the Erie Canal 42 years ago. Happy Sailing!
Hi, Well done keep going we all enjoy. Cheers
Nice video again guys, very professional. You will keep growing the channel for sure. We hope all is well with you both. Ed and Jody
Next week's video sounds incredible. I'm looking forward to it. With a little math, it's May 3rd as I watch this video. You are growing at approximately 219 subscribers per day. WOO HOO. Congrats. By the way, I love the look and feel of Boundless. Great upgrade.
Congratulations!
What an adventure!
Great video guys!! I’ve been watching you from the beginning and you just keep getting better!!❤
Congratulations on getting to 20K subscribers guys! Onwards and upwards. Safe sailing from one of your 20K 👏👏👏👏👏
Most amazing videos on KZread ❤❤❤
AWESOMENESS!!! Congrats on 20K🥇🥇🥇🔥🔥🔥💜😊
I'm guessingthat you're going to keep heading north and pick a jumping off point, reprovision and head west. Fair winds and following seas. Thanks for sharing your adventures and lessons.
Another great video, and congratulations for 20k…
First time watching your channel. I stayed because of the quality of the video and I do love monohulls.
Glad to be part of the 20,000 that’s watching your channel. I need to get that bell 🔔. From LIZ out in California.
congratulations ! I love the sunglasses.😊
what an exciting adventure.....
Nice video guys, very enjoyable.
Thank you❤
Katy convinced me to subscribe. That friendly smile did it. (Parker's easy going narrative got my attention.)
My God....what a boat!!!
another sub here looking forward to further travels and scary good times, you boaters hang togeather as much as posible, stay close, security in numbers, dont ever forget simplicity
Very well done
First time visitor. I am hooked and now a subscriber.
Crazy, in one month, you doubled. Here's another sub!
Came across you by chance, I like sailing videos, real ones, yours looked honest, so I hit the button!
So KZread is doing something strange - surprise, surprise! Many of the channels I’ve been subscribed to, some for several years, have suddenly become ‘unsubscribed.’ I’m not sure why. Your channel was one of them. I have gone through and resubscribed to several channels, including here, only to check later and find I’m unsubscribed yet again. Not sure what’s going on. Any, great episode from you two! Congrats on all the milestones you guys are hitting!!
fantastic.
While Sailing, one must always keep in mind, the vessel is always tougher than you are.
I can not understand why you are not to at least 50K subscribers now. Watching your videos is a nice way to start my Friday mornings here in PA.
I need to see this on a map ! Ya'll rock.
I’m proud of you also. 🙂
loving the video. I liked.
glad to be one of the 20,000
CONGRATS ON 20,000, I/we,Are so much more than , I laugh with you, Cry with you, let out a sigh of relief with you, and send prayers of wind that match your wishes! .Hopefully learn from your misfortunes and Admire more than I can express your support for one another.,,, Much Love and Respect, Audra
Super cool seeing you grow, and I started watching you on the Erie Canal. Still want to see you put together the videos of the refit of sea wind.
Just hooked onto your channel , love it guys , stay safe Jim, Scotland ❤️
beautiful shot of moonlight on the water
Love your videos
Just found your channel. How about a quick map at the beginning of each video, showing where you started to where you end (in the video). Would help add context. Good video!

Yeah sure, give your location to pirates....... What a good suggestion! P.S. just by looking at the chart, if you know your geography you can tell where it was...that's the Caribbean for you baby! Always unpredictable....!

Nice video new subscriber from Phoenix az
first time i seen your videos , like you two ,your real ,ty subscribed
I was looking for an interesting sailing channel. I just found one. Great video! Cheers!
This is a dumb question, but here goes: When at sea at night, is it possible to use what I believe is called a "sea anchor?" It would be a kind of bucket attached to the bow and thrown overboard, thereby keeping the bow into the wind. Thanks...
What a peaceful easy feeling... I know it's a helluva lot of work but it is beautiful and idyllic. Be safe, sail on. What does the Southern Cross look like? You ought to have a ham radio and from there you can talk to the world..
Living the dream ❤
Congratulations on 20k
Great video of night sailing
Good on ya mates 👍💙
There is that thing, safety in numbers🤷🏻♀️
Just discovered you (new subscriber here). Happy Sailing!
I feel the same here. I just had beans for lunch.
Beautiful night scene!
New sub here. Love your boat
Keep at it. Subscribers growing!
I would die of absolute boredom. I would have to have something that can haul some amounts of cargo. Something to give me a goal and a Direction.
new be to your channel great to watch thank you
Love the Oakley Sutros. They should be a staple on all passages.
