Started watching before the 20 boat project, loved that adventure

I love your adventures. I hope you keep making the KZread videos.

I think most people, like me, are pulling for you but damnit man. Put together a winning plan, show, dont tell a good story with every video and you MIGHT someday get some minimal income from KZread (never plan for KZread income). Its not the algorithms, asking for money will never pay.

You might be right

I’m my opinion you would have been much better off staying in the north country and making videos about deer camps, Ice fishing and so on. Florida is so saturated with people going there that is just boring. I hope things get better for you Wayne, You sound depressed and Burnt out. Only you can decide where you go from here, Good luck on whatever the future holds.

Good luck selling the mother ship.

I always default back to van travel. 👍 thanks for posting

I enjoy seeing what’s new with you every week!

That sounds like a good plan! Stack some cash, maybe find yourself a van and build it out with a rack on the back for the scooter. Strap a yak or canoe to the top. Have yourself a rig! Kind of a recharge period for you. Anyways thanks for sharing man. Cheers!!

Hey Wayne! Love following your channel. Have you looked into photogrammetry? A pretty low effort way to make some photography cash. Maybe find a used DGI drone and make some drone photography videos? Lots of resources on KZread to check out.

@@thewaynediaries well my dear friend 2k to make 100k to200k I mean call me an Idiot but you love boat's seems it would be a perfect fit for you !!! If Sailing Miss Lonestar can get one I think it's self explanatory. Her ex Stephen makes killer Money over in the Mediterranean, paper book story channel. I've often wondered why you didn't take a job to sail a boat from up north free room n board gas paid etc plus a living wage. They do it all the time get caught short tried to sell it. Needs to go to Florida to sale when season ends up north.

They have motorcycle carriers that fit in a receiver hitch. That opens up your vehicle options quite a bit. I carry a Honda PCX 150 with my old Blazer. Works fine.

I remember in the past you had a CDL. Do you still? I also remember you saying you don't like traffic but if you stayed west of the Mississippi it wouldn't be as bad. A truck would give you a free place to live, then save up money, quit, adventure, go broke, and do it all over again. Trucking like anything else has negatives but every job has negatives. Not having a job has negatives also. Anyway, just a thought.

Yes the Keys are nice but there isn't much room to camp and all or boon dock at least Boco chica works ..The cops are better than they were four years ago but still don't like van dwellers much Smathers beach across the street is shut down to van dwellers parking for the day..Just be careful dont push it with the cops they are mean ..

I work for myself in IT, so I think I'm similar in personality. Just a thought, is there a market for boat deliveries and pick-ups around the Great Loop? Did you mention in passing in one of your videos that you used to skipper? Apologies if I'm dreaming this. I know someone who makes a living moving boats around within Europe. Rich people who travel one way and fly home etc.

Me too. The moaning and kvetching has gotten to be too much. That and the pleas for cash. Sad thing I remember is when Wayne used to put out video of nearly great content. I haven't seen that since he sold the sailboat to the kid and father for 1 dollar. That boat at the time seemed like it would be his ticket and he let it go through his fingers.
