Freedom
Why do we do this? There are easier ways to travel. Faster. Less expensive. More comfortable.
But over and over again, we return to cruising sailboats to give us that feeling we can’t get any other way.
This video is a montage review of how this whole cruising thing got going for us. I can’t believe it’s going on 15 years and three boats now. We hope to share the journey and some rambling thoughts about what it all means…
As for the soundtrack, I hated everything about the original song when it played on the radio every 40 minutes. By slowing it down, remixing, and adding a little some-somethin, I feel like it’s appropriate.
The O'Kelly's
We've been together for 30 years and have had three monohulls and one catamaran (Clarity) over the past 20 years. We FINALLY found our next boat and are so excited to share it with you in 2023! If you want behind the scenes/real time updates we'd love to have you join our incredible community of like minded "doers" on Patreon. We literally couldn't make these videos without the support of our community! If you're considering the cruising life, we offer 1:1 consulting over Zoom so check out www.sailclarity.com/consulting if you're interested. It's a privilege to be able to share it with you all so THANK YOU to all of you who make it happen! Nick is a meteorologist and pilot, so we may be talking a bit about that as it relates to sailing. Megan was in high tech recruiting and has been a life long seamstress - see her channel below. We have a couple other channels: O'Kelly Tech and our philosophical, meditative meanderings - MONKEYS ON A ROCK - see below.
