Never buy anything renogy. Worst CS ever.

Better to live your dreams solo than to do nothing while waiting for someone. I am glad that in my 20s I stopped waiting and started chasing my dreams... I'd still be 55 and single, but without any fun along the way. I hope you find that special person, but I'm glad you're not letting being single stop you from living your dreams!!!

[bubbasinclair]

Been cruising for over 40 years. Can never depend on friends, lovers or crew. Have to learn to appreciate doing it on your own. Just the price of the lifestyle. Good luck.

[artdadson]

Glad to see you back, and you’re exactly right! I remember when you started and were looking for help running down the east coast. Here we both are, back at it!

[jacobusswart]

Love the woodwork on your boat. Myself and my wife are on our own, empty nest.
Even on land we sometimes feel lonely. Hat's off to you for standing strong. God Bless ❤

[erinwilson]

I'm sorry for the blue days your experiencing lately. I know loneliness can be so terrible. Keep surrounding yourself with friends and try something new you don't normally do to pull you outta the rut. Have you ever thought of sailing north up to Vancouver, Canada? It's an amazing place to live, work, play and visit. Especially Vancouver Island.

I can totally relate to the comment that he was done doing it all along. Alone or single has its perks, no stress, no discussions etc. but sharing is human and all things shared is soo much better. The fun and even the pain! If you are ever in the Med, I would gladly join you.

[mickspriggs]

Beautiful boat you have. Safe travels, you are living my dream

[christopherstevenson]

btw...love how Doug coiled the line - climber style (also a former climber).

[kiltedskipper]

Thanks for sharing. Glad to see you back and to reconnect. Going solo can be hard, and definitely lonely at time but like me you should never let it stop you from chasing your dreams. If you wait for that perfect moment, that perfect someone, you'll never make it out the door. Don't let life pass you by, great friends and great adventures await.

[markbernier]

So good to see you back. I am going to suggest that you change the bitter end of your rode. If the worst happens and it all runs, or worse the anchor catches and it all runs the bitter end is going to snap taut with the whole weight of the boat on it. Rather than a knot I would suggest a loop of heavy chain and a wired shackle and an eye splice with thimble in the end of the rode.

[jamesr.epstein]

I haven't seen you in quite a while. How refreshing it is to see you again.

[bos]

It’s a big beautiful boat. I’m sure sailing alone has its pluses, but having someone, like you said to share the experiences also has pluses. Safe travels.

[sailingEV]

There is a reason we sail alone at times. Not everyone is meant to live this life out here on the fringes of society in marinas and on oceans all over the world. It's finding the right person with the right temperament to share it with is the hard part. Some of us are just meant to be out here.. Some like it for a time. Some are just made for it..

[timgreen]

There are many places I plan to visit. Things I plan to see. I travelled around the world for 20 years in the Navy. Then drove 2.5 million miles around this country as a truck driver. Now, my plan is to take my boat and go see some more things, and go to more places, and experience more things.
These are things that I can well do alone. However, as stated by the man who sold his boat and quit. I'd much rather share my experiences with someone that I care about. It really is much more enjoyable.
I'm in the process of restoring/refurbishing a 1967 Grand Banks 36 Woodie. This summer, I plan to take short initial cruises to get the kinks worked out. Then travel extensively on my boat.

[morganmaxwell]

my sun conure is watching with me and keeps laughing at 12:10 with you lol

[mikeh]

Kinda trippy...I very nearly emailed you last night to see if all was good and okay. Glad to see a post tonight! Hang in there Aubrey; learning to love my own company enough to not be lonely, even while alone, was one of the longest lessons since my divorce. I'm nearly there, but completely understand the chaps point - it's fun, right up until you realize there isn't someone to share it with.

[headshedwisdom]

Just me and the dogs is my preference After 20+ years serving in every cesspit my government sent me to I am more than done with most people, there are a few exceptions for sure but generally humans are the most fu*!ed species on the planet....
Being comfortable and content with your own company is like a
Enjoy your space and get comfortable with yourself . Live, explore and experience.... Fair winds and folloing seas.❤❤

[Matt-ex]

For the battery charge situation, many times the battery monitor will not show full charge due to its calibration. My battery monitor does that when I have discharged below the lower limit. Check the Voltage reading on the monitor. Google up the manual for your batt monitor, it will tell you how to calibrate

[Twelvestonestacking]

Sailing "together" is Always mo' betr...sharing! It is THE way! It will be again!
