What It's Really Like Sailing And Working Full-Time On A Boat

- Choosing the sailing lifestlye means that life doesn't ever go as planned and you just have to roll with the punches. We spent the weekend in the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park and we weren't about to let a few issues stand in the way of having a good time.
We had a bit of an issue with our first upload of the video, so here we go with a second try. Hope you enjoy it!

Want more?! How about a little FAQ
❓Why Folsom Ocean Views?!
⚓️Because Folsom is Charles’ last name and it’s a play on the Johnny Cash Lyric "Folsom Prison Blues".
❓Why a #Catamaran?
⚓️Jes gets really seasick while #sailing and the upstairs galley really helps when we #travel.
❓You both work full time jobs?
⚓️Yup. Charles has a traditional 9-5 position as the Director of Customer Success and Jes owns her own business doing art commissions for clients. #WorkingandSailing
❓Where to Next?
⚓️We are not sure. Part of the fun of this #DigitalNomad #lifesytle is that you can pick your #adventures
Love,

Hey All! Thanks for stoping by and watching this weeks video! We are taking a break the week of 2/21 for my (Jes) Birthday! But will be back to posting vid's on 2/28! Until then, enjoy the views and have a great week ☀️
Q
You take off for your birthday? How old are you 20
@@phillipl8849 Making videos is just our hobby, not our job. We have full time jobs that demand full time energy and commitment. But even if that was not the case, we believe everyone should take some time away from computers and stress and just enjoy life! Birthday, Holiday, or just because: we belive people should take a break when they can 🏝🤘
Nice video. So yummy.
Happy Birthday Jes, you guys enjoy your time off!

We go to the same pharmacy for pain management. A strong dose of drinkitol. Enjoyed watching. Y'all stay safe, looking forward to next week's video.
I'm from Nassau.Born and bred and I have yet 2 visit The Exumas!! It is my desire 2 visit all the islands that make up my country!!
I hope your journey takes you here soon - the area is as lovely as the people!!
My back flares up too... I get a pinched nerve feel, then my muscles lock up to protect the flaring nerve... It becomes a nasty cycle. Sometimes it'll last for days! A doctor friend recommended I take a muscle relaxer I had on hand... GAME CHANGER! As soon as you feel that nerve pinch feeling, take a muscle relaxer, get in a comfortable position and wait for the meds to take effect. If you can keep the muscles from locking up, the pinched nerve feeling disappears for me. If you haven't tried it, try it. You're welcome.
Great video!! Your channel keeps getting better and better, the dedication and work is paying off.
I didn't know about the siphon. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for sharing your adventures and experience. God speed
So the siphon trick is great… if you use it to fill the diesel tanks this can give you an advantage of picking up clean fuel from the top of the jerry jug… and dirt and water in the jerry jug will settle out to the bottom. Kind of like decanting wine.. and considering approximately where you are getting fuel is much easier in the dingy using jerry jugs…we have been doing this a lot here in the Bahamas… and even though it’s an extra step the need to go into some fuel docks is really reduced…
Wow look at those! Thank you!
You guys have become my favorite channel. So real and a joy to watch!👍
Thanks Casey!! It took us a while to find our voice and get comfortable enough to be authentic on camera. We really appreciate the support- makes the effort worth it 🙌🏻
I agree 100% ! Great content .. my favorite also.
I know that feeling of calm happiness underwater, all to well. I miss that...and I know that feeling of being as flexible as a board...enjoy your channel. Happy times!
Thanks Tim!
WOW another great video, such detailed ,and graphic instructions on the syphon LOL. I am enjoying those brilliant smiles and the joy that jumps right off the screen. I am so happy for you as you are really dialed in this year. Glad that Charles felt good enough to go on that amazing snorkel adventure. Well I must say well done as always, and Happy Valentines Day
Wow, so cool!!! Thanks for taking us along. We're planning a few trips to the Bahamas this year. Can't wait!
That's awesome! Let us know when you're here and if we're in the same area we'd love to say hi!
Probably one of the best vids yet. Blood pressure has gone down 20%. Gotta get one of those hoses even if it’s a joke to tell how it’s done. Thanks. D.
I appreciate the siphon tip, and it reminded me of a hilarious scene from Horrible Bosses 2. The shower buddy hahaha
That dinghy painter has been wrecking havoc on the crew 😂 Great video!!
Right?! We had been talking about replacing it for months. I guess fate just helped us out 🤣
Love those shaker siphons too. Sorry for the back problems. I can relate… And y’all reminded me to pack my weight belt on the boat. Thanks!
Nice video and welcome back to the park! And thank you for highlighting and also promoting the fact that this is a national park managed by The BNT. Many people don't highlight how important that is, and the fact that is a No Take Marine reserve
I always enjoy learning more about the places we visit, and the park’s history is just so cool! I’m glad it’s there for everyone to enjoy 😊
Cool, thanks for sharing 👍👍 Sure beats the ❄ we have here.
Charles. I can relate to your bank issue. In 2021, I had sciatica. Real sharp pain from my right but down my right thigh. The MRI says I had a slightly compressed lumbar disk, yet even though I felt no pain there, the docs are convinced that the pinched nerve in the lower back was the cause. Seems is not uncommon.
.
The exercise you demonstrated was one I was told would work too open up the disk and there the pain. A second one, which may help you, was to sit on a couch or low chair, even the toilet. Legs apart and very flat on the floor. Then lean forward and touch my hands to the floor.......or reach forward if it did not hurt too much. After some days and repetitions,was Walt to keep my hands flat on the floor and also stretch way forward. Helped sooooooo much. Best wishes.
.
Love the episode.✨👍✌🏻️
A funnel is another magical device. 😉
greetings from KY home of that bourbon u got there ;) i enjoy your videos! im in the market for a catamaran myself to leave the world behind
You and a few others have inspired us to rent a Cat in the BVIs this spring and try it out. I truly appreciate your candor and the effort in these. Been following a while and it seems like others are catching on!
Thanks for all the support as we were figuring things out. I always recognize people that have been along for the ride 😀 the BVI’s are an amazing place to get started. I honestly can not wait to get back there: it’s pure magic 🪄
Thanks for sharing, absolutely amazing place from the looks of it. Hope your back feels better Charles.
Billy D
Thankfully it’s better (for now) until the next sock 🧦 comes along to put home out of sorts again 😜
He's, what a great idea for the weight belt. Much easier to stay under water.........even cleaning the bottom of the boat.✌🏻️
A very nice video you two. When I was a kid nobody around me knew about dive weights. I would always float essentially. It's a small thing but teaching about weights is important.
Thanks Allyn! It has been such a huge help for getting to see coral and fish up close 👏🐠
..... laughing .... Know exactly what you are saying Jess about being home when underwater .. with me it started when mom put sis and I in swim lessons when we were preschool, and the teacher told mum that swimming was not my challenge but the goal was to stay on the surface and I was on the bottom all the time ... to this day love the freeness of being underwater but have never pursued scuba or freediving which really has me intrigued. Ended up with a pacemaker when I was 26 and when once went to sign-up for scuba, well you know those sounds on gameshows when you fail, well it was all of those and looking for the exit when the pacemaker was revealed to the instructor. .. one day when I am back at the coast I shall per vale, as sis points out when I set my mind I am determined and succeed .... re your ingenious weight belt solution, is there not a quick release knot where you pull say the long end and you are free. It is just that if you are in a situation and could only get one hand to the carabiner would you be able to release without having to put much thought in how to release it. I am not a knot guy so have no suggestions ... I sympathize with Charles on the back challenge, my back gives me grief but only in times when I work in a scenario that I am desk bound, if my work is physical with movement and some weight involved, no issues ... just a thought, some workouts with a kettle bell sort of idea, weight of sorts .. I am not trained in the field but think twisting and strengthening muscle may help .. back issues are a pain in the tush to say the least ... sure enjoyed the colors of all the fish, how brilliant they all were ... thx for sharing Charles and Jess .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ... like your idea of using doggie pads to deal with fuel splashes ....
That cave looks so cool! And I love all the sharks just chilling around just off the boat!
Also - as the queen of not thinking before I speak and saying things that sound inappropriate, thanks Charles. I'm glad I'm not the only one! 😂
🤣🤣🤣 the sharks were amazingly cool. Haven’t seen one while I was in the water yet. And I would like to think I will be chill about it. But it will likely take some time before that happens 😅
luv your authenticity! so refreshing.
We, thanks!!
Really enjoy your videos. Looks like you are having a great time.
Just came across your U-Tube channel I think you have a new viewer aboard looking forward toward what’s in store in the future thank you.
The core problem with back pain in your case is in the nervous system. I know exactly what I am saying. The reasons why are complex. But the secret is creating healing and "peace" in the nervous system. Easier said than done. But at least now you are working on the right thing.
I love those deck chairs! I know it's been a year since you put this video out, but I'd love to know the brand of those chairs!
Happiest place on earth, Charles...............no kidding ‼️ ✨ ⛵️✨ 🙂 ✌️ 👍
Subbed - coz you're normal people & not drama acting!
I keep a foam roller that is 6" x 24" on my boat to help keep my back lined up. It really helps and it is very inexpensive. I know what is like when your back goes out and you can barely move.
Thumbs up for back pain buddies. I work hard to avoid another episode. Stupid things when younger = a lifetime of reminders.
Great Video…..again! You guys always make me smile! Jess what brand is your wet suit you are wearing in this video? You look fantastic and I would like to order one.
Hi Sarah! It's Roxy brand and I am obsessed with it! Charles got it for me for Christmas, and he ordered it directly form them online. It is very comfortable and does a great job at keeping me warm in the high 70's water we have right now.
Awesome program! You guys ! Thanks !
Thanks so much!!
Love your videos! I used to have a bad back as well. Haven't had any flares in a few years, but what I did was eliminate my back pocket wallet, and started taking Osteo-Biflex and Black Seed Oil Capsules. Not sure if that would work for you, but it may be worth a shot!
Thanks!!
Another great video. I think the whiskey is the way to kick them off.
Get a TENs unit if you don’t have one. Works wonders for a bad back.
I have one of those ball valve siphons, great stuff. But be aware it doesn’t fit into any modern car fuel tank, so, don’t count on it for getting fuel from your car!
Good point! Thanks 🙏
Nice job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Folks, enjoy the vids but you need to balance the sound levels better. The background music was jarring, especially during the tank filling part
Great video! I have a question about the Spärkel. We have one at home too and love it! I am curious though how it would work on our future boat. Has it been holding up for you on the boat? Do just order a bunch of carbonators any time you're in the states or do you buy each ingredient in bulk and measure it out?
Absolutely beautiful
Those small karabiners have the breaking strain of a wet kleenex, I`d`ve used the rope to tie a draw hitch (sometimes called a Highwayman`s Hitch) , super useful to secure items when you need a quick release.See link below ;)
Down here, we set our bouyancy to be neutral at nine metres for snorkelling or spear fishing, the idea being that no effort is required to get down and therefore less disturbance to the fish.
For diving I set my weight so that my eyes are level with the surface when my BCD is empty.
I heard you snortle when Charles said "shake it and it will come", Jes , go and sit on the naughty step young lady!
You two are living your best life right now, long may it continue!
Fair winds my friends xx
Draw hitch vid....
czcams.com/video/tNFNOcLMCXY/video.html
yup, just shake it and its starts to come lol
Your poor father & his bad back. We will say a prayer for him.
OMG, did I just watch you syphoning!!!
those are boss seats for sundowners on a flat deck or roof
Yes!! We love them 💺 they also fold up into bag packs so you can easily take them to the beach for the day ☀️
Are you guys finished sharing the adventure?
aye i'm bahamian and i noticed that u dont swim with dive knives i think it would be a good habit esspecially because i've started to see alot more sharks of late so be careful
Such a good note for us! Thanks so much, we will go and pick one up in GT!
Nice video. Can you share the name of seats you used on the front of the boat?
They are from West Marine!
Just found your channel, really enjoyed it. Love the Deck Chairs. What are the make and model and where can we get them? Thanks
They are amazing! We have had them for two years and they have held up pretty well (considering we leave them out overnight a lot). They are from West Marine and are West Marine brand. The only draw back is the price of them - but its the only furnishing we have on the boat, so we thought they were worth it!
Ugh I LOVE IT! Great video. What are your thoughts on sharks? Are you constantly looking around when in the bahamas waters?
I am not constantly looking around this year, but I was all of last year. I have done a lot of research on the types of sharks and what the appropriate response should be. And on most cases, I know I shouldn’t worry. Doesn’t mean I won’t be swimming right back to the boat as soon as I see one 😅
Go to an auto wrecking yard and get some seat belts they make great weight belts.
Great idea!!
Who makes those chairs you where sitting in on the front of the sailboat?
They are West Marine Charis, we found ours in store!
I tried locating the Park on the map but didn’t have much luck. Do you by chance have a link of GPS coordinates?
You bet! goo.gl/maps/dves9oWqdoUBTrTj7
Cheers!
Awesome. Thanks
Just waiting for your invitation 🤭🤪✨🌊💨⛵️🏝👙🌞✨
My wife's book is a good read, published by Austin Macauley of New York, literally a fictional story of sailing and adventure: "Seychelle and the Cannabis Yachties". It is very entertaining, hoping you will give it a try.
I put it on my "To Read" list!! Thanks for the reccomendation 👍
@@FolsomOceanViews I miss seeing you guys, presently we are in the Azores, headed for Brazil. A cruiser told me the word Party is a proper noun in Brazil. Sounds like your kind of place.
Since he was wearing business shorts, is this now an OJI?
Push-Up's can do miracles, Lots of push-up's every day
🤣

Lol

It’s the best!
show me the burn, it's ok i am a doctor
How was my comment deleted cheers
Hi 👋 It wasn’t deleted, but the whole video had to be taken down due to the issue with the sound that you reported. YT doesn’t let creators edit videos once they are posted, so our only option was to take it down and repost. Stinks because we lost the views, comments, and engagement of the first video. But it was our fault for not checking to make sure everything was okay before we uploaded it. Thanks again for letting us know so quickly 👏
Instead of free diving get a hooka outfit and REALLY enjoy yourselves.
The list of toys to buy seems to be never ending! 😂
i follow about 20 "living on a sailboat" like channels
all of them feature hot girls who live aboard
all of them make the very same videos "how is life on a sailboat" "the truth they dont they about living on a boat" "good vs bad about living on the sea"
same same same thing
why dont nobody make a video like :
"how is to be 24/7 with a hot girl on a boat"
"hot girl on a boat do you ever get bored of her?"
this is what we look for
🤣 Definitely some potential options for a new video series in there. At the end of the day though - we just really like each other 😀
