I follow many sailing channels on YTube. You are great beginers with potential. I suggest you to add word "sailing" to the name of your YT channel. If you notice , 99% sailing channels on YT , have word "sailing" in their names , becouse it is very practical to find them when new subscribers try to find sailing videos on YT . And ,if you want more subscribers , you need to upload every week in same time ,one more video. No metter how interesting video , you must use your subscribers to be with you same day , same time. I suggest the begin of weekend -friday afternoon. You can not be same interesting in every video , but you must have every week video in same time . Good luck and best wishes from Europe .
There is an easy test to see if you are ready to liveboard. Collect all the things that you think you will need for a 1 month stay and move into your bathroom.
Great episode. I need to inspect my chain plates too and my teak toe rail is on my spring 2024 list. I like the Epiphanies “ Rubbed effect “ very nautical look for the interior. Happy New year. Nick T37C S/V Angela Mia #336 Lake Superior.

I’m subscribing, that’s a great area to be exploring, but actually any place different is great! This is the first video that’s popped up so I’ll have to check back and catch up. I originally thought you guys were there for the Boat Show & had been sailing awhile then you bought ice & I realized you were probably just getting started. I’m glad to be here for the rest of the story……🍀
I am sure you have been there, but there is an excellent technical advice and "how to" website for Tartan 37. It has been in a slump in the last couple years, but I encourage you to go there as I think having some new folks asking questions will stimulate activity. I have owned my T37 #373 for 30+ years and sailed her from California to Maine via Panama on a multi year cruise. I have rebuilt most of the systems personally at some point and there are others on the site who have extensive experience. There is no better sailing boat for its size and it is a tribute to your sailing acumen that you chose the Tartan 37. Ray Durkee
Thanks Ray, the T37 community seems to be a great and knowledgeable one. Having a great forum online with so many questions and solutions was one of the reasons we chose the 37 - we felt that we'd have a good support group when/if we ran into an issue. Plus like you said, you'd be hard pressed to find a better sailing boat for it's size! Let us know if you have any cool places along the East Coast that you think we should check out, our cruising plan is to sail the coast for a while, between Maine and the Caribbean
@@thegreatescape2022 I suggest you look at the Southern coast of Connecticut along the sound (given your interest in history and liking to roam towns). And then Block Island and Nantucket and the Elizabeth Islands (best in the shoulders of the season because of the crowds). I would do the Cape Cod Canal and cross the Bay of Maine (skip Boston to Cape Elizabeth) and focus on Penobscot Bay Islands as a seasonal destination--they cannot be explored in one season alone--a lot of hiking on islands that are generally open to the public. The rest of the coast of Maine to Campobello is great cruising and not something everyone does. Then another trip would be to explore the southern coast of Nova Scotia: Provincetown direct to Shelburne N.S. and then the coast taking in the towns along the way. Ultimately, the Bras D'or Lakes are great if you are adventurous and self sufficient. I am in Castine Maine in the summer (I have another boat in San Francisco in winter) so look me up. I will try to stay in touch.
@@petethecatable awesome! I'll do some research on those places, I have minimal travel time of the northeast so this is a great start to the list. If you see that we're in your area and want to go for a sail or grab a drink, let us know!
@@thegreatescape2022 Get a copy (even an old one) of the Taft-Rinkler "Maine Cruising Guide". Very useful for any trip to Maine or across the Gulf of Maine.
Gonna start keeping up with your adventures. I just purchased A 1982 Tartan 37 also. I’m in the process of getting it shipped from Rock Hall, MD to Iuka, MS on the Tennessee river.
You cannot just take off at any given time and go anywhere in the world that you want to that is a huge fallacy there are storm seasons and wind patterns and times when you cannot leave the dock because of tide considerations also this even effect motor boat operators but to a lesser degree than it does sailboats the same thing goes for owning and flying small airplanes you can only safely go when the weather and other factors are in your favor

And make sure your toilet breaks,

Lovely, honest and well made video!👍

That's awesome, they're fantastic boats. What hull number?
I’m not 100%,
I will have to get back to you on that. I’m driving up next week to prepare her for transportation.
@@mackminor5032 awesome! Best of luck with the big move!
Really nice vibe to this video...
Glad you liked it!
I read somewere that a sailboat is the most expensive way to travel slowly.
Haha no doubt! That's a unique way to look at it
@@thegreatescape2022 Take it as a compliment: You two seem very authentic and you have a great banter going on. All the best.
