Chapter 14: Choices, Repairs & Purging! – Proteus Rising (Travel Life) Book One (Buy A Boat

Nothing like having your boat 100 miles away and get a phone call that the keys are missing and no one can find your vessel!

In this episode Tank decides on which university he will attend as a college football player, we begin the massive job of purging our suburban life, and then make another quick run for boat work, because we were notified they moved the boat, didn’t know where it was, nor could they locate the keys!

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 the realities. Come with us as we venture from land to sea and all around the world. #proteusrising

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. #proteusrising

The Pack That Comes Together…Is Stronger!

Kola and Sprite are so glad you’re here!

Happy May Day! Spring is in the air! It’s a time of change and growth. And we’re feeling that given today marks our official launch of our Patreon Page. We weren’t sure when we were going to do this or even if we should, but when some folks elbowed us and said, “Hey, why aren’t you doing this?” We figured it was time.

Right now, even as our page numbers are small, we plan to put out some bonus footage right here frequently. We’re targeting once a week, but travel plans can sometimes inhibit that; also, episode production is priority. Kola and Sprite will tell you that long walks are also a priority — whether they be in the forest, the beach, or up a mountain.

We’d love to get to know you better, which was the number one motivator for us to create a Patreon community. Tell us about yourself via message here or at YouTube or via any of the social media platforms (we’re on instagram, twitter, and facebook). Why are you following us? Why did you join our Pack? What’s your dream?

In the meantime….

Peaceful sunrises and sunsets,

Greg, Casz, Kola & Sprite

Chapter Ten: Taking the Helm – Survey & Sea Trial Part 2! Proteus Rising – Book One

Even feeling the start of a virus, this guy was not going anywhere that wasn’t on this boat.

In this episode we continue our adventures in Anacortes, Washington as we put our intended sailboat through the paces of a detailed Survey & Sea Trial; however, the day is thwarted with a adrenaline hangover with a touch of flu. More importantly, did this Bayfield 36 pass the test?

Chapter Six: Falling In Love! Proteus Rising – Book One

We’re finally starting to get into a rhythm with this vlogging. Those that are following us on social media know that things are progressing on our #fiveyearplan, so that’s why there’s a bit of time between episodes. But, like we just noted, we’re getting into a rhythm and the next episode is already in production. Woohoo!

In this episode, we finally get a chance to see The Bayfield 36 we were totally geeking-out on in Chapter Five. We have a good time in Anacortes, Wash. and have great hope for our #fromlandtoseaandallaroundtheworld future. Our son has an epic football season, and starts to get acceptances to colleges and some recruiting looks as a two-sport athlete. But plans go a bit sideways with money to purchase any boat, let alone this one.

Watch and see how we handle it all.

Chapter Three: Boat Search Blues! Proteus Rising – Book One

Thanks for sticking with us during #theadventurebeforetheadventure! And the process to #sellthehousebuyaboat is still underway. Meanwhile at this point we have begun to really decide what kind of vessel is going to be a good fit for us and our goals.

Tank’s senior season of football and the tradition of Friday Night Lights is partially highlighted here. Give him a cheer, won’t you?

Lastly, we think we’re getting the swing of the new digital media editing and hope that our quality is getting better and hopefully the episodes will come faster and faster now. We’re slowly investing in new equipment to help make the sharing of this journey– the good and the bad– even better for you, our loyal followers. If there’s something you’d like us to cover in our process of going #fromlandtoseaandallaroundtheworld, leave us a comment and we’ll be happy to put something together.

In the meantime, send @gregor_the_red some love on Instagram because his partner @mamacasz just crushed his first sailboat love.

As always we ask that you like, comment, share, and subscribe! Ring the bell and you won’t miss our next episode!

Kanpie!
