Just retired at 60.5 from flying for the last 4 decades. Spent the last almost 8 years flying ems with crazy hours. Don’t miss it one damn bit. You fell onto a great life track Bobby.
Bobby, the worst thing you could do is not be yourself. Keep up the boating videos and have fun with Amanda. Id live to do what your doing and so do most of us watching your videos
Im not a patron but have subscribed and watched your videos since day one. Like you say haters will be haters. It doesn’t matter what you watch on CZcams there are those idiots everywhere.
Thanks for this. - It's hard not to urn for or love your lifestyle - Obviously, it is a lot of work, but with some tremendious benefits.
Wishing you both great weather and continued success... - Cheers! ♥
Nooooooo!!!!!! I am an airline guy, 747 Captain and I wanna do what you’re doing Bobby…. I’m so jealous…. Envious…. So happy to have you out there doing your thing. I admire you….
Small world. I’m a 74 FO.
@@andrewt8436 very cool, I’m at UPS…. You?
Yeah I’m over at Atlas
@@andrewt8436 Def a small world... Were hiring... I know we (UPS) hire A LOT of ATLAS guys...
You and Amanda have great chemistry! Keep on, keeping on!
Father Daughter sailing is the best!
@@isawthis448 jealous much?
No need to fix something that ain’t broken, Bobby.
Stick to what you’re doing.
Life is magnificent!🍻🧉🍷🥃🍺🍸🍹🥂
Bobby, great content. Keep it up. Thanks for the great videos.
Great insight, thanks for sharing such personal information. I have much more respect for you after hearing the backstory. Great channel, always look forward to new content.
You flew on, now Sail On ! Love your traveling blogs. Great job there you 🙂
Good update mate.
hope to meet you in person one day
The best thing to do with the trolls is to ignore, don’t feed the strays, they will keep coming back. It’s more professional as well. You have a lot of class and after meeting you I know you are a genuine, very good guy. Keep up the good!
Well said
Do you know Bobby personally? I'm not disagreeing with you but he could be a serial murderer for all you know.....LOL.
I know I have not been a patron long but been watching all the time since you started before scare factor (covid). Great job and love how U have come a long way.
I've watch the Wynns and they are saying good things about the HH44 space too
Success is so much sweeter when there is a struggle.
Thx Bobby...living the dream...it also takes work.
Yep! Fly personally again! 47 years and I had a similar event.
Bobby I have been watching Doodies since the beginning of your channel. I has always been great entertainment, beautiful girls, great exotic locations and adventure galore. What's not to love. Thanks for the years of fun! Looking forward to the new Cat. Me and my Cavapoo Rudy, are among your greatest fans!
Stay on course keep sailing and fly only if you want a new way to travel , only for yourself!!!!
Keep sailing bro.
You are a really good dude Bobby
Love ya Bobby. Keep up the good work 👌
Hi Bobby I have been following you since you came to Comox BC and sailed a boat to Asia . I have ever thought about coming to Pacific Northwest ,Gulf islands and sail around . Love your videos
I’m a corporate pilot who was force to retire due to a retire due to a stroke. I have a passion for flying as well as sailing. Basic med is an option that meets all legal requirements assuming you never failed a medical.
Completely a personal choice ! I'm for it if you are!
I agree Bobby. Raymarine was not my favorite. My Simrad was truly a quality unit. Best autopilot too. The Raymarine in dash I had didn’t compare to my buddies Garmin handheld. We used that more when we went on vacations together on my boat.
Haven't watched this yet.
Long time mariner. Got bit by the sailing bug a long time ago.
Taylor (yes that Taylor, post SV Delos) was once discussing the fact that she would never solo on open water. She refused to solo citing her self assessment that she just clearly was wigged out by the reality of the safety implications. That's a mariner in droves.
In perspective there are mariners like Laura Dekker who have that confidence in droves, that confidence in their ability to have situational awareness.
If your asking CZcams there's your problem.
OK. Now that I've watched the video I have respect for your answer. Your choice to title this video "Should I fly again?" is what it is. Glib (not that there's anything wrong with that).
Totally agree on not preferring Raymarine.
I vote yes to fly...the U-Tube thing was good during the pandemic but now time to get back to work.
Love your videos. Looks like you are using gimble mounts for cameras in this one and it is very rolly.
I’d keep sailing. Do what you love with who you love, not what pays best.
hmmm, if the docs say okay and you want or need to...sure!
Do you ever sail out of Kemah Texas ? I wish you could fly (pilot) again just for the pleasure of the great feeling if nothing else.
I watched your video/podcast when asked Amanda what percentage of time she would prefer to be on a boat vs on land. I wonder if her answer will change when you get the Island Spirit? I would think a 52’ cat would be much more enjoyable than your very small power boat.
We teach folks how to trade futures contracts...........with Starlink , you could trade while sailing..................
Aaaah another scam!! If your methods work, why the hell are you “teaching”$$$$$$$??????
All depends on your medical. Without that no point in even thinking about it.
If you are in northern lower MI camping I could recommend some tourist stuff you guys could do here.
Flying Doodles 👍
Not sure why anyone would hate unless it is just jealousy. I enjoy watching the videos of yalls adventures.............. I'll see if I can locate some "Troll Spray" and send it to you for those days when it seems they are buzzing around more than usual. 🤣
Would love to see more repair videos (not that I want stuff in your boat to break)
is the earth flat bobby asking for a friend lol
Bobby, you may want to look into F.A.A.'s Basic Med program that lets you fly personally without an official medical certificate.
Not sure if Bobby would qualify. Here’s the verbiage for pilots who had previous issues with their FAA medical certificate:
Pilots whose most recent medical certificate has been revoked, suspended, or withdrawn, had his or her most recent application denied, or authorization for special issuance withdrawn, will need to obtain a new medical certificate before they can operate under BasicMed.
So it sounds like Bobby would need to have a class III with special issuance (for the stroke) before he could apply for basic med.
In that case, he could just fly under the class III.
If you wind up in Oregon, let me show you my Raymarine setup.
Bobby what brand of Catamaran are you having built?
I need ya in montana
Get a experimental 2 place plane...
You could get license E Z
I'm getting seasick....!
Bobby, if money was no issue, what boat(mono,power,sail)would you buy to sail around the world?
Please do more RV Vlogs
If I could get my class 1 medical back I’d go flying……till then, stuck in the sim.
They are making great money as contractors right now.
Are you sufficient with the boat you have now or are you looking for another boat?
Basic medical all you need no attorney's check it out. Since you had a valid medical at one time just need a doctor to sign off not an AME. It has a one time SI requirement list of things doesn't mention stroke. You never lost consciousness.
Do you have any future plans to make money beyond Utube like run charter trips with your new cat?
where did all his subscribers go??
👍✅
I guess it all depends on how you need to make money Bobby. If you need to fly part time, you used to love it and you can make some cash then why not? Give er! We're only on this rock 1 time. Sometimes (most times) we humans overthink stuff. Go for it!
No Way... Never ever!
Just leaving now, do you like the boat? You are on now
Hi Bobby. I don't think you should fly any more than you have to. Why take chances on your health if you started flying more? Just my opinion. Love your channel.
Do you still have your house? I never noticed any pineapples on the boat? Will amanda bake you some buns?😂😂
I wouldn’t change a thing.
Trolls are nothing more than jealous sad folk, I am 74 live in the middle of France and enjoy not only your posts but those of many others - it opens the world to me and it is interesting to watch your lives unfold - Many thanks for the hard work that goes into the videos
I need you forever, good girls you do you and your crew
Best day of my life was quiting my 121. Who wants to live life on the road.
Regional. Or a Major?
@@thomasaltruda Spirit. The thought of doing 30 more years of that was awful. No money that’s worth living life on the road like that. Sure you always have a few ass holes who say “ I can work the contract and maybe fly 7 days a month”. Good for you! I miss the flying not the job. I really feel bad for those net jet guys doing 7/7. I think a good job would be a 91 private owner flying 100-200 hours max or something that just doing out and backs. Those are few and far between and likely not going pay as well.
20 years at the QS. Another 10 at the regionals. Life on the road gets old. But it pays for my boat porn. A buddy of mine asked me if I wanted to go half on a twin Comanche I said, why would I want to do such a thing. lol. After 20k hours in the air I’m good.
The question is do you want to or not, first loves are hard to get rid of but do you need the stress or the hassle of going to retraining. The blue pill or the red pill.
Live life fwd not backwards.
Boeing needs a few test pilots.
Should you fly again? Maybe ask; Should you fly other people again?
How much are you paying for gasoline nowadays?
Maybe but not without a co pilot
How much is gas costing you nowadays?
it's better than selling skin.
Light Sport = No medical.
I recently got my medical back after a health issue. It was worth it because I was successful. However, it was very frustrating, expensive, and difficult. The requirements for light sport are lower and the aircraft are becoming very functional.
If you can pass the medical, why not? Just for the giggles.
You need to fire your barber man. Sheesh.
No.
Why not date your video so we can keep up.
IMO no way. Flying privately, maybe. Given the state of aviation right now and given where youre at, why?
Am retired for years (piloting). Do not return to flying. Your present activity now overmatches any flight pleasures. My guess is that the cockpit will soon bore you. Your call now.
airplane needs too much gas. how can anyone relax when you have a certain amount of time before you have to land or crash.
Irgendwann ist es ander Zeit erwachsen zu werden
So let's take a look.... Well Bobby, you have been, drinking, sailing, chasing girls half your age. Your hair is SOILD gray but you die it. Now after years of living the life most single older males dream of. You ask, should I go back to been a pilot.
Bobby, did you hit your head. Is Amanda telling you to get a job. Try this out....
Wake up at 3am..... Eat, shower, dress in a suit, grab your bag, race to a airport.
Run,.... Get to the gate, stop, go sit in a chair... Call Amanda, have her, tell you what to do for 10 hours. Eat, a crap sandwich, drink old coffee. Then jump up, grab your bag, go get your car. Get stuck in traffic, get home, have Amanda, tell you what to do for 4 hours, watch the news. Then, repeat that same thing for 7 days with no breaks....😂😅😂😅😂,.... Sure... Bobby, go back and be a pilot.
Don’t bother with flying again it’s not what it was …….ive been there and done that finished at 60 ……can’t be doing with all the renewals in the sim every 6 months ..! You have a far better lifestyle.! 😊❤
LSA….cheap, fun, no medical.
Should you fly again? NO!!!!!
I'm getting sea sick...can you lock out your camera gimbles?
That camera on the gimbal is 💩 bouncing all over the place. If the boat’s moving the camera should be fixed so it moves with you and everything appears still
You yourself have documented the potentially dismal future of CZcams as a career. At least an ATP would enable you to be available on a career for which you paid dearly to establish yourself. On the other hand, if you don't want to, don't.
Love the pod cast but I do not like the camera angle changing every so many seconds. i saw the past video on why your doing it / trying it but for a pod cast I think we are having a conversation (or your talking to us). No need for the quick angle change. I understand it on the normal channel. Just my opinion...I am not an expert (or novice). Do what works.
Why is the camera bouncing around? Irritating
It started as a travel blog focused on sailing with dogs. It has morphed to a T&A channel that is making him rich but I can't relate anymore.
I seriously doubt you answer ALL questions :)
Not possible if you have had a stroke, you are not even insurable for life insurance.
Bad idea. Drinking? womanizeing etc.etc want trouble do that.
Who's gonna keep your daughter company when your gone working?
If you can pass a Class IiI or I physical ? You wouid have to go thru re current too
I didn't think it was up to you. I thought you got grounded because of your health.
How much is gas costing you nowadays?
