Dock Divas | Episode 38 | Travel Life with Proteus Rising

Published by casz on December 18, 2020

In this episode (38), We recover quickly from our perilous journey through the Ballard Locks, and arrive at our new home slip, but Capt. Wooly is not done with instructing us yet as there is docking procedures to become more adept at before she’ll head back to her own home port.

Special thanks to Captain Wooly and her Shearwater University.

Who we are: We are Casz & Greg, empty nesters, Gen Xers, Adventure-Seeking Explorers, along with our two pups, Kola & Sprite. We bought a sailboat, sold our house, and bought an RV. Now as constant travelers, we split our time between Sailboat and RV. This YouTube series documents all of it, from the dream to reality. Come with us as we venture from land to sea and all around the world. #digitalnomads

We left the chains of the corporate-sponsored suburban lifestyle, said goodbye to our mortgage, the golden handcuffs jobs, and are living a life that lets us see the world on our own terms. #alternativeliving

Day 4 Sailing Lessons | Docking & C.O.B. Exhaustion |Episode 36 | Travel Life with Proteus Rising

Published by casz on August 13, 2020

https://youtu.be/Ns9qiwQ5kR0

In this episode (36), We leave Port Hadlock, heading for a final destination of Kingston, WA. Before leaving, however, we need to get better at docking. Once in the open water, we drill repeatedly on Crew Overboard! Exercises. We have some special wildlife treats, which get us stupor excited and find that sailing is super hard work and our boat has special challenges.

Special thanks to Captain Wooly and her Shearwater University.

In this episode (34), We head out onto the open sea — well open sea as far as Casz & Gregor are concerned. We see sea lions, some real ocean waves, and begin to understand where we need to study more to get our certification. Navigation, anyone?

Boat Business in San Diego, North Bend, and Anacortes | Travel Life with Proteus Rising | Ep. 29

Published by casz on March 26, 2020

All the stuff you have to do to go from land to sea and all around the world…

https://youtu.be/TGOqDTDw4x4

We bought a blue-water sailboat; sold our house; bought an RV and now we’re going from land to sea and all around the world. This is our journey.

In this episode (29)… This episode shows you the massive amount of multi-tasking it takes to make this From Land to Sea and All Around the World Dream come true. Casz works on Operation Curb Appeal with the assistance of Tank; while Greg has to go take care of business in San Diego and gets a little maritime fun in while he’s there, then it’s back to SV Elli in Anacortes, where there’s a lot of work and a little bit of hassle.

Special thanks to Alein’ Whalers, who let us use their music in their video. Check them out here: https://aleinwhalers.bandcamp.com/releases or on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClk5nCOAiMEwQ1-NbkPvd_A
