VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Welcome aboard! Join Bennie as she guides you through her cherished boat-a haven where practicality meets adventure. This tour explores every nook of her sailing home, which has traversed the Atlantic and now rests peacefully in a marina.
Kitchen (The Galley) Overview:
Material Love: The boat is adorned with mahogany planks from Honduras, chosen specifically for their resistance to mold compared to fiberglass or aluminum boats.
Cooking on the Waves: Equipped with a gimballed stove to keep meals steady despite the ocean's sway, and connected to a fiberglass propane tank for rust-free longevity.
Water Systems: Although currently hooked to marina amenities like shore power and fresh water, Bennie plans to install a water maker using reverse osmosis to provide clean drinking water when sea-bound.
Living Quarters:
Compact Luxury: The saloon doubles as a cozy living room with a convertible berth for guests, reflecting the dual functionality essential in tiny living spaces.
Favorite Feature: Bennie's favorite feature is surprisingly the gimballed stove in the galley-a cherished element that ensures a spill-free cooking experience, no matter the sea conditions.
Navigational Necessities:
Tech for the Sea: The boat is equipped with both modern navigation systems and traditional celestial navigation resources, ensuring safety and direction regardless of circumstances.
Power Solutions: A UPZ 600 watt power station backed by solar panels offers a sustainable energy solution, essential for long voyages and life off-grid.
Personal Reflections:
A Symbolic Sanctuary: For Bennie, the boat is more than a home; it's a symbol of his personal journey-reflecting battles with mental health and the ongoing project of self-renewal, much like the continuous maintenance the boat demands.
Community Connection: Emphasizing the importance of giving back, a portion of proceeds from his power station goes to communities without electricity, aligning with his values of support and sustainability.
Adventures and Aspirations:
Crossing Oceans: From the Canary Islands off Africa to the shores of the Bahamas, each nautical mile has been a testament to growth and adventure, reinforcing Bennie's love for the sea.
Therapeutic Ventures: Bennie envisions a future where therapy transcends traditional settings, utilizing the therapeutic nature of the ocean to aid others in their healing journeys.
Invitation to Follow:

Thank you for stepping aboard and sharing a piece of this vast, blue world with her. Here’s to smooth sailing and the endless pursuit of horizons!

Can't even lie. This woman is very beautiful but more importantly she just inspired me.
Life's a journey to be savored - not a race to a conclusion - and your journey's just begun. Live it!
Agree 💯
@@GlampingGurlBeing born in London into what was once a very typical large Irish family ☘️🇨🇮 ( My mom has 9 babies,8 of which survived,& tech I was numero ocho)
Anyway I was on that working treadmill & always had itchy feet ( And i had travelled on vacations,to the U.S,Europe ,the Mid East and always wanted to do that) And a opportunity arose to acquire a ' Greencard' which I did through my Aunt living in Southern Cali ( And that was 23 yrz ago& I live in Vegas)
Now it hasn't been all smooth sailing ( excuse the Pun) it's hard work,challenging ( I'm a Nursing Assist specialist working with the severely Disabled) but I never regret moving! Now I miss my family & some friends( especially around Holiday& Birthdays) but I get by!
.And since the advent of Skpe,and then What's app ( which I only started using at the end of 2016) that has made a massive difference ( especially for foreigners) So I'll end here ( I don't wish to bore u) by saying,it's a big world& if u have the notion& get up & go to explore then do it! ..And it w/b no slight on the place of ur birth,if u find somewhere else to ur liking& perhaps when u travel abroad & then return u just might see the U.S through a different lense ( which might be a blessing or not?) So take care& be safe..
P.S..Always take & make security top of ur list,because like it or not Westerners are not always appreciated,but often envied! ( They assume ur Rich!)..Bona Suerte👍✌️🙏🇨🇮☘️

Wonderful story, I’m sure a lot of people can relate. I purchased an old wooden boat after my divorce and restored it. It helped me get through a very tough period. Flash forward 25 years and I still have the amazing restored boat. Many happy memories. Good luck in your journey 😊
I love this so much!
Your boat is nice and cosy. You are an uplifting person and wish you all the best for your mental health. The ambient mood of sitting in your boat as the water slowly rocks and the calming peace.
Love her! Living on boats for the last 10 years...kindred soul
There is nothing better than the boat life. I have lived 7 years in my 44-foot sailboat, north of the polar circle, Bodø and Tromsø in northern Norway .The winters uo here can be harsh, with 2 meters of snow and fierce winter storms. But wouldn't be without it
I didn't think you could live up there on a sailboat. Do you have to have a bubbler or something to keep the water open in winter? Living on a sailboat was a dream of mine - and doing it in Norway where my mom came from would have been pretty amazing!
@@janinafisher101 The boat was frozen in the harbor for several weeks during winter. But the boat doesn't seem to take any damage from it. It is important to keep + degrees inside the boat and especially around hull penetrations / hoses.
When I lived aboard in Alaska, I only got frozen in once. It took several hours to get chipped out and use my hairdryer. No biggie, but I had to get to work!
My husband and I were liveaboards for 30 years together - sweet lifestyle! Cruised Mexico for several years. Now we are full time traveling the US in our small travel trailer. Your interior is beautiful!
The sound of the waves lapping against the hull and wires clinking on masts can be a good background when you want to relax.
Waves yes!! Wires…. That gets old and annoying. Your neighbors might use plastic bags to tie your halyards off the mast when you are gone to prove a point. Just sayin. But yes, chillin and sleeping and living on a boat is a good way to live. Especially in San Diego.
You’re lucky. It drives me nuts and keeps me awake all night.
wires clinking on the mast is a *terrible* sound in any kind of wind.
@@ChrisAshtear That's why it's called the Devil's Harp
Love the story. An adorable person with a beautiful heart
This is the girl of my dreams.
Nice video, Impressed with you, sometimes see people living in vans or boats and they seem like "posers". You strike me as very genuine, love your "style". Be safe, God Bless.
really good deal for that boat, nice of that guy to give you such a break on it.
What a smile 😻
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home 😊
Love your story! I pray your journey will be everything you want it to be! God bless you!
It must be quite peaceful on your boat at night, waves slowly rocking your boat!! Sounds really great with so much Kaos going on in our world!! 💫
What an amazing opportunity for you and your wonderful boat and of course all the people you meet through your travels. Best wishes on your adventure 🧡
Bennie is the coolest!
The booms on the Herreshoff are so unique. Looked at them on a 38 i almost bought. Cool boats. Congratulations and Fair Winds
Great to see a lady with get up and go spirit.
starboard used to be the steering side of the boat (majority of people right handed), port side is the dock/port side because the steering gear /steering board was in the way on the other side
The names go back to the Scandinavians and entered the English language via that route but the arrangement goes way back to the earliest boats.
Starboard and port derive from the Portuguese estibordo and bombordo while they were navigating south along the African coast, on the left you had the “good side” with port you could reach the docks, on the the right you had the “star side” (estibordo) or starboard
@@skippywinters
That sounds more like a conflation of the term Posh.. Port side Out Starboard side Home ... because that was the cooler side of the boat . Mostly from days of the 🇬🇧 Empire travelling to the near and far East via Capetown or Suez after it was built.
Not to shatter anyone’s ego but let’s not forget Portugal was sailing down the coast of Africa CENTURIES before the British.
@@skippywinters Yeah, slaving!
Starboard derives from the Norse term.
Thanks for sharing your experience!❤
My sister’s so cool!
This is a very unique tiny house here instead of being on wheels
it is on a sailboat but i really like it, the inside is awesome and
I'd like to see more tiny houseboats thank you as always and
can't wait to see what is next.🇺🇲💞⛵⛵💞🇺🇲
Happiness. Most people, when asked what their goal is, don't say that. Good for you. (And as someone who can retire next year, I have a little wisdom to draw from)
That boat is a great project. Stay busy but injoy your rest when you're tired.
IMHO you are doing the right thing. I built my boat in the 90’s here in San Diego. Launched in 2000 and she has been my home ever since. I’m on a mooring near the Star of India downtown. My plan is to sail a lot locally this summer and head south in November. I’ll make my way north to Puerto Penasco in the spring and leave her on the hard during the hurricane season. You do a great job of describing the lifestyle.
Good for you hun! What an amazing adventure…..life is for living and you are doing it.
So cool, Bennie! Keep it up! I love seeing the updates! 👏🏼👏🏼
Love your boat- looks like you created a great life!
How awesome Benny! I absolutely loved your story x Nell.
Love the boat!!
Very cool! I love the direction you're taking your life. I can't think of anything better.
That Honduran Mahogany is absolutely beautiful. Love the cook top too.
Lovely boat! Lovely philosophy! Wishing you the best adventures on her!
Nice home! You made it your own and this journey you are starting on. I wish you well on your journey and with your home.
She's absolutely gorgeous
The boat ?
@@philcummings9525 sure lol
Calm down creeper
@@Fishnutz737 thanks for sharing white knight
Good for you-discovering the serenity of sailing. Best wishes! (Sailing has been a source of challenge and fascination…and a source of strength for me since I learned this timeless skill, this art, this lovely connection with nature, from my dad when I was 10, 59 years ago.)
for$1k you did well . less is more especially with boats . i had a 62 foot classic Italian yacht and as much as i loved her became overwhelming. i have a 34 foot boat now and it’s better all round. but as all yachts there is always a cost .
Amazing lifestyle ! Be blessed and stay healthy.One love ❤️
Now, I'd like my house to look like your bedroom/living room, with the exposed wood, plants and Boho design ❤
What’s a boho?
@@maxsparks5183 Boho chique
@@maxsparks5183 I'm pretty sure it means bohemeian.. Queen wrote a rhapsody about it.
What an awesome life!🌅
Lovely video . I have considered similar to you and using my boat as therapy for others, so much learning takes place.
Love your story…
Thanks for sharing your Journey
Great taste with the interior!
Like the interior.
Your soul and light is very strong. And very nice sailboat I am looking for the same length to live on myself but Polyester probably.
Thanks for the video. Great tour by the owner. Sea Dogs are the best.
This is an amazing story. Very inspiring. :)
Inspirational! Well done.
You seem to be a really lovely person. And you made a great lifestyle choice!
The first time I galley chefed on a Scallop boat (steaming) I didn't know you had to secure the pans😳,what a mess🤭!
Good job haggling 👍.
I'm sure you did a fine job with her😍.
Happy Sailing😊🌈.
JO JO IN VT 💞
SAME. And somehow I’d forget each time I started a multi day passage 😂
Amazing Bennie- what a place to call home x
Sounds very nice& soothing.🎉😊
very admirable great story
Beautiful
Very cool!
Beautiful wooden boat ❤.! I too have a (even more tiny) boat/home. She’s a Pacific Seacraft- Flicka 20. Yep. 20 ft. with all the same features as yours. Sleeps 2 adults (v-berth) and one non-adult (quarter berth), head, galley, setee and table.
All you mentioned about maintaining and living and sailing is 1000 % true. I feel so happy and cozy and refocused when in, around and “playing” on my little vessel. It is therapy for sure.
Will take a look a your “Adult Adventures” crew clan.. That describes me!!😂
great outlook!
Give give give…needs, what’s and desires. Everything is only perfect!
Could it be a feeling of being rocked sounds comforting
We lived/worked on woodpile fishing boats for years in ca,, i dig the wood boats, easy to work on and way warmer, they are made out of renewable resource's for real
YOUR CUTE,I HAVE BEEN SALING FOR 55 YEARS !
Booyah!!! Keep sailing my brother! 👊✊🏴☠️
She's such a cool person!
Thank you x
Free spirit! Good for her
wow amazing
Experience only comes from doing . So good luck , you’re doing something 👍( nice base boat,that one)
The work is it's own reward,
you are absolutely beautiful and brave good luck to you on your adventures
SO COOL 😎 I LOVE IT ❤
Very spacious inside, love it.
She just said a lotta good things towards the end, that lotta therapists don’t want ya to know. (Cause it’d work them out of a job)😊
I admire you.
Cool Cat Ketch - these are so cool. Was not going to watch then I saw the mast for the main.
I live on a 38 footer, love it
Awesome love it all the best 🙏🏽 🌞 👍🏾 👌🏾
That you negotiated a discount of $7000 off the sticker price of $8000 is astonishing. You have something going on.
What an amazing woman
Interesting rig! How does it sail like pointing?
Love your boat.Looks really cosy!Where are you based now?
Old sea dog here. I want to roll out the dietribe of advice, but I'll remain quite and wish you a fulfilling journey of learning and experiences.
merci
love your story, I have worked with Mahogany as a furniture maker, it's a very special timber, & I like the 'living on a sailing boat' idea, I did do some boat-type work (cray fish trawler) and I didn get off the deck for the whole trip duration I was that sick and have suffered really bad sea sickness when I've done boat fishing, way back, but still love the notion! I do love ginger!!! (apparent sea sick-ness remedy) It initially sounds cheap, the rent anyway, although an uncle of mine who did own and sail boats often said; boats a whole in the ocean of which you pour dollars!!! This comment knows my budget and for me to make real of this dream I would literally be swapping my land house (investment) for the boat life and I know also, as you say/point to adventure being extreemly beneficial, which too is an investment of a different nature! Regardless, I enjoyed your tale, thank you.
Meclazine for seasickness. Take it the night before you go and again in the morning. Take it again if you feel the least queezy. 2 days or so at sea and you will be fine.
Everything about sailboats and being on the water is just - well no words for it really. We know! But I gotta dive off subject for a minute - what brand pants are those? So dang cute and look comfy. Sorry. Love your perfect tiny water home. 😊
That boat is older than me. But I guess you can't go wrong with the 80s. I've always wanted a Tayana 37, but I definitely can't afford one.
I love your atitude and hopes for the future,your boat looks lovely and homely but (not being negative) i mentally i see heavy seas and everything being thrown around..stay safe and live your dream.
What a cutie..Forgive me for being a bit forward and thinking out loud
I love boats and the sea, I just don't have enough knowledge to operate one...but love to ride!
I’m working on getting a captain’s license now, and I’ve found the best way for me to get experience is to become a good friend to someone with a boat who could use crew. Give them your time and a helping hand and they’ll share what they know 😊
@@benniemeetsworld That is the best way to gain knowledge. You have entered a lifetime lifestyle, where you will pick up knowledge forever, have the most amazing time, stay safe, and may the wind always be on you back.
Amazing that you sailed with a bunch of strangers across an ocean! Were any of them abnormally weird?
Just some Swedish guy that was obsessed with knots and a song about frogs. Other than that I’d say it was pretty normal 😜
i fancied living on a boat here in Australia but the mooring fees on the Gold Coast put me off ,
that random ad without telling us its an ad
Groovy video. Lots of luck. Be careful. talk with a lot of real sailors. Take an experienced sailing friend or partner with you.
Who made the vessel the manufacturer?
Gawd DAYUMMMM
Beautiful Woman and Sailboat .
700 dollar a month in slip fees?? Say what?
You sailed accross the Atlantic your second time on a boat ? How is that achievable did you hire a skipper . I find the whole thing about boats overwhelming all the stuff you need to know . Tho living on a boat would be a dream especially somewhere with nice weather
I found the opportunity online - a captain was searching for crew to help with watches, didn’t require experience. Just a good attitude, good work ethics, and the ability to handle being at sea for a month with a bunch of strangers.
As a father that has a daughter that feels the way you do! I give you a big 👍! Do what you ❤️ love! Good luck in everything!
Hi, love your boat, keep me in mind for I will be launching my website and channel soon to raise my sails
