Sailing Doodles
Bobby and Laura are sailing around the world with two full size labradoodles and document their adventures as they go! In the podcast series they will get more in depth on topics related to cruising in general and cruising with pets. Some of the information will be regionally specific and some will be a broader base. Come follow along with us and enjoy the ride!
For most of human history, people who felt trapped by their circumstances could leave everything behind and head toward a new frontier. They could escape their social class, family reputation, past failures, or limited opportunities and try to build something entirely new.But do those kinds of fresh starts still exist?In this episode, I explore why starting over may be harder today than it was for previous generations, why fewer people are willing to risk everything, and whether the world has simply run out of places where your past does not define your future.I also share a story from my own family history about an ancestor who, according to the story passed down through my family, was the thirteenth son of an English lord. With little chance of inheriting anything, he left England for the New World to build a life of his own.We discuss the influence of the frontier on American ambition and entrepreneurship, the uncomfortable truth that these lands were never actually empty, and whether technology, space, artificial intelligence, international living, and online businesses have become the new frontiers.Maybe there are no truly undiscovered places left. But perhaps the biggest frontier has always been the decision to walk away from the life you were given and attempt to create a different one.Download the Sailing Doodles Crew App on iOS and come join the Crew!https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sailing-doodles-crew/id6760212361or join our Patreonhttp://www.patreon.com/sailingdoodlesor become a channel memberhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkDwexrF43p_1QurfKFBCBA/joinDonate Via Paypal to helphttp://www.paypal.me/sailingdoodlesOur partners:Want more info in the Island Spirit 525e?

In this Ask Me Anything podcast, I answer some of the questions patrons and viewers have been asking most.I start with Nika—whether she’ll be joining me again, how we got along, and what might be next. I also share the scariest experience I’ve ever had at sea: the night my old boat nearly caught fire and sank near Cape Hatteras. I included clips from the original video and explain what happened from my perspective.I also give an update on my health, future cruising plans, the Great Loop, the Great Lakes, Maverick, and several other questions submitted by viewers.There are a few major questions about Maverick and my discussions with Island Spirit that I’m not ready to answer publicly yet. I did answer them fully in the uncut patron version of this podcast.Become a patron to watch the complete, unedited episode and hear the parts that were removed from the public version.The full 40-minute documentary about the Cape Hatteras incident is also available as a pay-per-view video on my website.Watch the Scary moment my boat almost caught fire and sunk:https://sailingdoodles.com/fire-at-sea/Download the Sailing Doodles Crew App on iOS and come join the Crew!https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sailing-doodles-crew/id6760212361or join our Patreonhttp://www.patreon.com/sailingdoodlesor become a channel memberhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkDwexrF43p_1QurfKFBCBA/joinDonate Via Paypal to helphttp://www.paypal.me/sailingdoodlesOur partners:Want more info in the Island Spirit 525e?

Owning a brand-new hybrid-electric yacht has been exciting—but it has also come with a much steeper learning curve than expected.In this podcast, I give an honest update on my first few weeks aboard the Island Spirit 525e. I walk through the technical issues we’ve experienced so far, including repeated generator faults, problems within the drive-battery system, charging limitations, and some of the other complications that have interrupted our cruising through Thailand.I explain what happened, what the technicians and builder have done to investigate the problems, and why the generator and battery systems are so important on a yacht designed around electric propulsion.This isn’t meant to attack anyone or declare the entire concept a failure. New boats often have issues, and this yacht uses relatively new and complex technology. I simply want to be transparent with the audience about the good, the bad, and the decisions still ahead.Do we continue improving the hybrid system, make major changes, or consider a more conventional setup? At this point, I’m keeping an open mind.Download the Sailing Doodles Crew App on iOS and come join the Crew!https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sailing-doodles-crew/id6760212361or join our Patreonhttp://www.patreon.com/sailingdoodlesor become a channel memberhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkDwexrF43p_1QurfKFBCBA/joinDonate Via Paypal to helphttp://www.paypal.me/sailingdoodlesOur partners:Want more info in the Island Spirit 525e?

I’m back with the second half of my patron Q&A, and this time we’re talking about what kind of boat I should buy for my next adventure. Would a diesel Sea Ray-style express cruiser work for Florida, the Keys, the Bahamas, and potentially farther into the Caribbean? Or would I be better off with a trawler, a traditional motor yacht, or something designed for longer-range cruising? I discuss the features, size, speed, dinghy setup, and practical limitations I would consider before buying. I also answer questions about whether I would collaborate with high-performance powerboat channels, meeting up with other content creators while traveling, and how Cougar and Merlin react to the constant stream of new people joining the boat. Thanks to everyone who submitted questions. Let me know what boat you think would make the best next chapter for Sailing Doodles.

A few weeks ago I shared an idea that I thought could completely change the way people experience luxury sailing. Then I asked for your feedback. Hundreds of comments later—and one incredibly detailed blog from a viewer—I realized I had made some major mistakes. In this episode I explain what I got wrong, why the original model probably wouldn't work, and the new direction I'm considering. We dive into whole-boat memberships vs. cabin memberships, pricing, charter economics, premium weeks, refundable deposits, and how this idea might actually become a real business. I still don't know if this will ever happen, but it's already a much better idea because of your feedback. As always, I'd love to hear what you think. Would you join something like this? What would you change?

In this patron Q&A podcast, I answer some of the most common—and most interesting—questions viewers have been asking. I talk about what happened with recent crew members, how I find people to join the boat, the couple who were supposed to launch a Sailing Doodles spin-off channel, whether I’m in a relationship, my changing thoughts about Thailand, plans for the new catamaran, the Mediterranean, the flotilla, and whether I’m seriously considering buying a motor yacht and doing the Great Loop. I also tell a disturbing offshore story about a friend who hired a delivery captain to sail his yacht from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean. In the middle of the Atlantic, the captain suffered a serious mental-health crisis and threatened to jump overboard. My friend had to change course and divert the yacht to the Azores so the captain could safely get ashore and receive help. It raises an important question: what do you do when someone panics, becomes unstable, or simply cannot handle being at sea—with nowhere nearby to get off the boat?

What if there was a better way to own a luxury yacht? I've been working on a business idea that I honestly can't decide is brilliant... or completely crazy. Imagine having access to a $1.4 million sailing catamaran that cruises the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Thailand and beyond, without having to buy the whole boat yourself. In this episode I walk through the concept, the numbers, the challenges, and the biggest objections I've already heard. Most importantly, I want YOUR feedback. Would you join something like this? What would make you say yes... and what would make you run away? Leave your thoughts in the comments. Your feedback may completely change this idea.

In this episode, I talk through a big realization about the future of Sailing Doodles: because of location, weather, and cruising seasons, I may only be able to film on my new catamaran about four months a year. That creates a real problem. If I want to keep making consistent boat content, I may need a second boat. So I’m thinking about buying a smaller motor yacht to keep in Florida and use for cruising the Bahamas, and maybe even doing parts of the Great Loop. I go through the different types of boats I’m considering, what makes sense for the channel, what fits the budget, diesel vs gas, speed vs efficiency, and whether a motor yacht could be the right move for the next chapter. Is this a smart backup plan, or am I just trying to talk myself into buying another boat?
Most people have a dream. Maybe it’s sailing around the world, building a cabin in the mountains, starting a farm, opening a business, moving overseas, or just walking away from a life that looks successful on paper but doesn’t actually make you happy. But most people never do it. Not because the dream is impossible, but because they keep waiting until they’re ready. In this episode, I talk about why I believe you have to set a date, prepare as best you can, and then go. My dream was sailing around the world on a yacht, but this isn’t just about sailing. It’s about risk, freedom, time, work, and the trap of waiting for the perfect moment. I also talk about leaving a good career, the idea of “no risk, no reward,” why doing nothing is also a risk, and why chasing the dream might not work out exactly how you planned — but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth doing. You can always get another job. You can’t always get another life.

In this episode, I’m answering your questions from Patreon, YouTube members, and the Sailing Doodles app. We start with the big one: my recent health scare, the blood clots and thrombosis, whether it could be connected to my past stroke, how medical care has been overseas, and what recovery might look like from here. Then we get into the questions everyone always wants answered: What’s going on with Olivia? Is she coming back to the boat? What happened with the Brazilian girl? Will Chloe or Sailing Miss Lone Star return? I also talk about the dogs, the future of the new Island Spirit 525e, what the delivery crew thought of the boat, the electrical and solar questions, the damaged old hull, possible cruising plans, the Med, the Pacific, RV travel, Burning Man, and what’s next for Sailing Doodles. Thanks for all the questions, support, and well wishes. It has been a strange and stressful chapter, but I’m doing my best to stay positive and figure out the path forward.

After a big health scare, I’ve had to ask myself some hard questions about the future of Sailing Doodles. I just bought my dream yacht, but now I’m dealing with blood clots and thrombosis in major abdominal veins, and I still don’t have all the answers about what caused it or what the long-term prognosis looks like. For a while, there was even concern it could be cancer, which thankfully seems to have been ruled out. In this episode, I talk honestly about what this could mean for my future: whether I can keep sailing long term, what happens to the new yacht if my health changes, whether I’d sell the boat, hire crew, slow down, or pivot the channel completely. I also talk about what retirement might actually look like, whether I regret buying the boat right before this happened, and what happens to the dogs, the crew, the travel plans, and Sailing Doodles as a whole. This one is personal. I don’t have all the answers yet, but this scare has definitely changed how I think about life, health, travel, and the future of the channel.

In this episode, I talk about the medical issue that suddenly interrupted my life and my plans for Sailing Doodles. It started with abdominal pain that I thought might be something minor, but after hospital visits, scans, and more tests, doctors found inflammation around my pancreas and blood clots in the portal vein. For a short time, there was a real fear that it could be pancreatic cancer, which was obviously terrifying. Right now, I’m still waiting on a proper diagnosis. It could be something autoimmune, it could be related to pancreatitis, or it could be something else entirely. I’m on blood thinners, getting more testing done, and trying to understand what this means for my future. I also talk about what this could mean for Sailing Doodles, cruising plans, the new boat, and how something like this makes you rethink everything pretty quickly. This is a more personal episode, but I wanted to be honest about where things stand and what I’m dealing with.

After years of delays, setbacks, and finally taking delivery of my new Island Spirit 525e… I’ve run into another problem. Because of Thailand’s import and customs rules, I now have to sail the boat roughly 72 hours to Malaysia, clear customs, and then sail all the way back to Thailand just so the yacht can legally return as a tourist vessel. It’s expensive, time consuming, exhausting… and honestly pretty frustrating after everything it took to finally get this boat in the water. In this episode of the Sailing Doodles Podcast, I break down: Why I have to leave Thailand The confusing customs/import situation My planned route to Malaysia The risks of an offshore passage this soon Costs, timing, and logistics What this means for the future of the boat Owning a yacht overseas definitely isn’t always as glamorous as it looks online.

After years of planning, delays, factory visits, and a whole lot of frustration, my new Island Spirit 525e electric catamaran is finally in the water — and sailing. In this episode, I talk through the last few crazy weeks of the build: inspecting the boat at the factory, the Buddhist blessing ceremony, the nerve-racking truck move to the marina, launching the yacht, and finally taking her out for the first sail and sea trial. I’ll share what went right, what still needs work, what surprised me most about the boat’s performance, and whether this electric catamaran project is turning out the way I hoped.

Electric boats are no longer some far-off future idea — they’re here, and my new Island Spirit 525e is a perfect example. With a 210 kWh battery bank, two 65 kW electric motors, and around 80 nautical miles of electric range at 6 knots, this is a serious electric propulsion system. In this episode, I talk about the safety side of modern electric boats: lithium batteries, battery monitoring, cooling systems, electric propulsion, installation quality, and why today’s systems are much safer than they were just a few years ago. I also get into one of the biggest fears on any modern sailboat: lightning. A lightning strike can cause massive damage, destroy electronics, and create electrical gremlins that last for years. That’s why I installed the CMCE Sertec lightning prevention system on my boat. I explain how it works, why I think lightning protection is essential on a modern electric catamaran, and why protecting all these electronics and batteries matters more than ever. We’ll also talk about maintenance, reliability, generator backup, energy management, and what life is really like with a modern lithium and electric propulsion system onboard. Topics in this episode: Lithium battery safety on boats Electric propulsion systems Battery monitoring and cooling Lightning protection CMCE Sertec system Generator backup Marine electronics Electric sailing catamarans Island Spirit 525e Modern boat reliability Big takeaway: electric boats are not scary when they’re done right — what’s scary is powerful technology installed casually.

Dating while sailing around tropical islands sounds like it should be easy… but the reality is a lot more complicated. When you live on a boat and cruise full-time, you are constantly moving from one place to the next. You are rarely in one place long enough to casually date, and most cruising destinations are full of couples, families, honeymooners, and retired cruisers — not single people looking to date. Then add YouTube into the mix. In this episode, I talk about what it is really like trying to date while living on a boat, traveling internationally, filming my life for YouTube, and dealing with the audience speculation that comes with every new woman who appears on the channel. We talk about dating apps, meeting people in cruising destinations, why relationships can move so fast on a boat, the difference between crew and dating, privacy, jealousy, and how hard it can be to know whether someone is interested in you, the travel, the lifestyle, or the camera. Dating in paradise is not always what people think. Download the Sailing Doodles Crew App on iOS and come join the Crew! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sailing-doodles-crew/id6760212361
The Bahamas pushed cruising fees too far in 2025, and the boating industry says the fallout was immediate: fewer boats, weaker marina occupancy, and millions in lost economic activity across the islands. As of April 1, 2026, they’ve changed the system again. I’m breaking down the new official fee structure, comparing it to the old one, and showing what it means for a typical cruising boat heading to the Bahamas today.
In this episode of the Sailing Doodles Podcast, I finally sit down with Chloe for a real conversation about her background, where she came from, and how she ended up joining the crew. It’s a fun, honest episode where you really get to know her beyond what you see in the videos… But we also share some important news. Chloe will be leaving Sailing Doodles for now to head home and take care of some medical things. We talk about what’s going on, what this means moving forward, and what’s next. It’s not goodbye forever — just a new chapter. Chekc out her Patreon https://www.patreon.com/chloer
In this episode of the Sailing Doodles Podcast, I’m answering your questions—from the new 525e catamaran build to future sailing plans, life in Thailand, and yes… Chloe. We cover everything from boat systems and upgrades, to where I’m sailing next, to how all of this actually works behind the scenes. Nothing is off limits in this one. Topics include: Status of the new Island Spirit 525e Future sailing plans (Maldives, Australia, beyond) Life and relationships on the road and at sea Boat systems, maintenance, and lessons learned Content, Patreon, YouTube, and how it all works Thanks to everyone who submitted questions—these AMA episodes are some of my favorites to do.
For years I assumed I had another 5–10 years as a content creator before technology really started disrupting things. After seeing how fast AI video is advancing… I’m not so sure anymore. AI can now generate voices, scripts, music, and even realistic video scenes. I recently watched several AI-generated reels and videos that honestly fooled me at first. And the scary part is this technology is improving incredibly fast. In this episode I talk about: • AI-generated videos that fooled me • How fast AI video is improving • Why creators might actually lose this battle • How AI could flood YouTube with unlimited content • Whether real creators will still be able to make a living Even if people prefer real creators, the amount of AI content coming could make it almost impossible to compete. But there may still be one thing AI can’t replicate… real life experiences. So is this the end of creators, or just the next evolution of content creation?
Ever wondered how hard it is to move pets internationally? visit AE Pets https://www.aepetsgo.com In this episode of The Sailing Doodles Podcast, I break down exactly what it took to move my two dogs from the United States all the way to Thailand. There are a lot more steps involved than most people realize — health certificates, government approvals, airline regulations, quarantine rules, and more. To help explain the process, I sit down with James from AE Pets International, the company that handled the logistics of transporting my dogs. We talk about how international pet shipping works, what pet owners need to know before moving abroad, and how professionals coordinate everything from paperwork to flights to make sure pets arrive safely. If you’re planning to travel or relocate overseas with your pets, this episode will give you a behind-the-scenes look at the process and how to make it much easier. Topics we cover: • The paperwork required to ship pets internationally • Health certificates and vaccination requirements • Airline cargo vs passenger transport • What happens when pets land in a new country • Common mistakes pet owners make • How pet shipping companies simplify the process Whether you're moving abroad, sailing around the world, or just curious about how pets travel internationally, this episode will walk you through everything. become a patron! https://www.patreon.com/sailingdoodles
In this episode of The Sailing Doodles Podcast, I dive into one of the biggest decisions I’ve ever made… going all-electric with the new catamaran. Why did I choose an electric propulsion system? How does it compare to boats like Fountaine Pajot’s electric cats? What are the real risks — lightning, reliability, long-term maintenance? And what spares and tools will I be carrying to prepare for worst-case scenarios? Then we pivot into your most asked personal questions… – Will there be rotating crew in Thailand? – What’s happening with Flying Doodles and Emma? – Can I get my pilot’s license back? – Does Chloe ever get tired of keeping her real name private? – And yes… how dating works when you’re constantly moving. We also talk YouTube growth “experts,” long-term life plans, the Bronco, and my favorite episode I’ve ever created. Big changes ahead. Let’s get into it.
In this episode of The Sailing Doodles Podcast, I sit down with Emma — the host of Flying Doodles — to talk about her aviation journey, career path, and what really goes on behind the scenes of the channel. From her flight training and early experiences in the cockpit to where she sees her aviation career heading next, Emma shares stories you haven’t heard before. We also talk about the future of Flying Doodles, upcoming projects, and what excites her most about aviation right now.

In this Ask Me Anything episode, I answer the question everyone keeps asking… Who is actually coming with me to Thailand to pick up the new boat? There’s been a lot of speculation about crew, plans, and what’s happening next — so I finally address it. I also talk about: Whether Chloe is joining me Lauryn? Thailand flotilla details What I actually have planned once I get there The current status of the boat raffle RV updates and the Camping World situation Craziest sailing mistakes I’ve ever seen And how to get hired on a sailboat Big year ahead. New boat. New adventures. Possibly new crew. Let’s get into it.
This one feels surreal to say out loud — the new boat is getting very close to completion. In this update, I share where the build is at, what’s left to finish, and why this moment feels different than anything before. After months (and years) of planning, I’ll be flying to Thailand next month to finally step onboard and start the next chapter. I know a lot of you have been following this journey from the beginning, and I can honestly say… I’m just as excited (and nervous) as you are. Thanks for sticking with me — things are about to get really interesting. Want more info in the Island Spirit 525e?

Sailing YouTube looks easier than ever — bigger audiences, better cameras, more success stories. But the reality? It’s harder now than when I started, and most sailing channels don’t even make it past year two. In this episode, I break down why channels really fail — not because they can’t sail, but because they run out of money, burn out, struggle with people, or misunderstand how YouTube actually works today. I talk honestly about how long it took me to break even, living on beans and rice, dealing with burnout that never really goes away, why subscribers matter less than they used to, and why AI might be the biggest challenge creators face next. This isn’t meant to discourage anyone — it’s meant to prepare you. If you’re thinking about starting a sailing channel, or you’ve wondered why so many disappear, this episode is for you.
In this podcast, I answer one of the biggest questions I’ve been getting lately: who’s coming with me to Thailand on the new boat? We talk about the new boat timeline, potential crew lineup, and what this next chapter of Sailing Doodles is really going to look—both on and off camera. I also address questions about Chloe, future appearances, and how I handle bringing new people into the videos while balancing privacy, reality, and the internet’s opinions. We also dive into: Who may be joining the boat in February How crew decisions actually get made Viewer questions about drones, sailing, and life on the water What changes (and what stays the same) with the new boat Big changes ahead—this episode gives you the real story.
A month or so ago, I shared a podcast about the nightmare I was dealing with on my RV — and at the time, I hadn’t even gotten to the worst part yet: needing a full engine overhaul. In this episode, I give a full update on everything that happened afterward, how the situation evolved, and how Camping World ultimately stepped up and made things right. It was a long, stressful process, but in the end they took care of the problem, made me whole, and even got me into a newer and better RV. I believe in being fair and transparent — good or bad — and this episode is about how things actually turned out and why I’m satisfied with the resolution. If you’re an RV owner, considering buying one, or just curious how these situations really get handled behind the scenes, this update is worth listening to.
In this episode, I share my personal thoughts on the tragic aviation accident involving Greg Biffle and his family. I had the opportunity to meet Greg and his wife Kristina about a year and a half ago at Spanish Cay Yacht Club, and they were incredibly kind, welcoming people. This is not an episode about speculation or assigning blame, but rather about acknowledging the human loss, explaining what is currently known, and offering perspective on how unforgiving aviation emergencies can be—especially shortly after takeoff and in marginal weather conditions. Investigations by the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are ongoing, and it will be many months before definitive answers are available. My thoughts and condolences are with everyone affected by this heartbreaking tragedy.
You asked some tough questions, so it’s time to answer them. In this Q&A episode I cover everything from crew changes and relationships, to insurance and the new boat, along with sailing myths, health insurance while cruising, provisioning mistakes, and what’s coming next for Sailing Doodles and the spin-off channel. Nothing scripted, nothing off limits, just honest answers to the questions you’ve been sending in.

In this episode, we break down the 12 most common (and most misleading!) sailing myths that stop people from getting on the water — including the truth about boat costs, storms, sharks, catamaran safety, anchoring, YouTube crew life, and whether you actually need experience before buying a boat.

After many delays, stress, paperwork, and uncertainty… the insurance saga is finally over. As most of you know, the delivery crew had a major mechanical failure last year that led to my boat being totaled. Since then, I’ve been working through the long insurance process behind the scenes. I can’t share specific numbers, terms, or private details because of my NDA — but I can walk you through what the experience was like, what I learned, and how this affects the future of Sailing Doodles. In this episode I cover: What I can legally say about the resolution What this means for the new boat build And what’s next for the channel Thank you to everyone who supported me during this ordeal — the comments, messages, and patience meant more than you know.

Ever wonder where everyday expressions like “three sheets to the wind,” “overboard,” “the bitter end,” or even “windfall” actually came from?
Turns out, tons of common words in English were invented by sailors, pirates, and old-school sea captains, and today we still use them without even thinking about it.
In this episode of the Sailing Doodles Podcast, I break down over 80 everyday words and sayings that all started on ships — from naval terms, pirate slang, emergency commands, rigging language, and old maritime traditions. Some of these are obvious… but most of them will absolutely blow your mind!
If you enjoy sailing, history, language, or just fun trivia, this is a super entertaining deep dive into how much of modern English came from life at sea.
Fair winds and following seas — and thanks for listening!

What upgrades are actually worth the money on an older sailboat… and which ones you should avoid?
In this episode of The Sailing Doodles Podcast, I break down the most valuable upgrades I’ve done across all the boats I’ve owned — from my classic CT-56 to the newer catamarans and charter boats we’ve sailed.
I cover which improvements truly make your boat safer, easier to sail, and more enjoyable… and which “fancy” upgrades usually end up being a waste of money. If you’re shopping for an older cruising boat or planning a refit, this episode will save you thousands.
Topics Covered
Why buying a boat already upgraded is often cheaper
Rigging, sails, and critical safety upgrades
Ground tackle & anchoring systems worth investing in
Autopilots, instruments & navigation upgrades
Electrical systems, lithium, solar & charging
Refrigeration: why it’s usually a later priority
Comfort upgrades: electric winches, watermakers & more
What to skip… and what will absolutely transform your cruising

I just bought a brand-new RV… and it didn’t even make it off the lot before breaking down. Within minutes, the engine started smoking and I quickly realized the EGR cooler had failed, dumping coolant straight into the exhaust.
In this episode of The Sailing Doodles Podcast, I talk about what happened, how I diagnosed the issue, and what comes next. The dealer says they’ll cover the repair — but we’ll see what really happens.
I’ll share what I’ve learned from years of owning boats, planes, and RVs about mechanical failures, warranty claims, and how to handle breakdowns the smart way.
Topics:
How to spot EGR cooler failure symptoms
What happens when coolant enters the exhaust
Towing and dealer negotiations
Lessons learned when buying new rigs

In this episode, I dive into how sailors and cruisers deal with one of the biggest threats on the ocean — hurricanes.
Fifty years ago, crossing an ocean meant hoping you didn’t run into a storm. There was no internet, no satellite tracking, and little warning. Today, we carry a weather computer in our pocket, with live hurricane data, Starlink connectivity, and routing tools that can literally save lives.
We’ll talk about:
How hurricane forecasting has changed in just a few decades
The role of Starlink and modern weather apps at sea
What the “hurricane box” is — and why insurance won’t cover you inside it
How cruisers migrate north and south each year to stay safe
Where sailors ride out storms (the famous “hurricane holes”)
The truth about insurance loopholes and “named storm” clauses
Real stories, lessons learned, and what it’s like to live with hurricane season as a full-time cruiser
If you’ve ever wondered how modern sailors dodge hurricanes — or how it was done before the digital age — this episode will blow your mind.

A Queensland superyacht agent was offered $300,000 for a “simple” job — help two divers enter Australia. Days later, one diver was dead, another had vanished, and 100 kilos of cocaine were floating in Newcastle Harbor.
In this episode, Captain Bobby White of The Sailing Doodles Podcast breaks down the true story of James Blake Blee — how financial desperation led to a deadly smuggling plot, what “parasite smuggling” really is, and why this growing underwater drug tactic is spreading around the world.
All details sourced from court reports, News.com.au, ABC Australia, and VICE News investigations.

A U.S.-flagged motor yacht was raided by Bahamian authorities in Bimini after a tip-off — and what they found shocked everyone. Ten people were arrested, including the crew, and officers seized a cache of weapons, ammunition, and cash.
In this episode, Captain Bobby White of Sailing Doodles breaks down the facts, shows footage from the local news, takes a look at the yacht’s charter listing, and shares his honest opinions about carrying weapons onboard and the risks every cruiser faces when crossing borders.
I’m not a lawyer — this is my perspective as a captain who’s checked in at Bimini many times. Always verify local laws before you travel.

This might be the biggest announcement I’ve ever made. I’m looking for two people — ideally a couple — to come sail with me in Thailand this February for four months.
You don’t need sailing or editing experience. I’ll teach you how to sail, how to film, and how to create a YouTube channel like Sailing Doodles.
The goal? To train the next generation of creators and help them launch their own sailing channel when the journey’s done.
In this episode, I explain what I’m looking for, what the experience will be like, and how to apply.

This is your chance to change your life — to learn, explore, and start your own adventure.
At the Annapolis Boat Show, Bobby sits down with Amanda and Maryline from Current Yachts, a new brokerage that’s shaking up the traditional 10% commission model. Instead of sky-high broker fees, they’re offering a flat-fee, transparent system — just $1,500 to list your boat and à-la-carte options for everything else. We dive into why they believe the old system is broken, how they’re making boat buying and selling fairer, and what this means for the future of yacht sales.
If you’ve ever thought about selling your boat — or buying one — you won’t want to miss this conversation.

Fan-favorite Laura from Sailing Doodles Seasons 2 & 3 is back! She joined me at the Annapolis Boat Show with her two young kids, and things got a little… chaotic.
We catch up on what Laura’s been up to since her sailing days, talk about motherhood, life after the show, and the possibility of getting back on the water.
This one’s totally “wheels off” — her 14-month-old demanded plenty of attention (and snacks), interrupted mid-sentence, and even forced an unexpected break for feeding time. It’s messy, real, and absolutely hilarious.
If you’ve missed Laura’s energy, laughter, and down-to-earth honesty — this episode’s for you!

The early struggles of creating a sailing show with a bigger purpose
What makes Expedition Drenched so different from other sailing channels
How their team balances adventure, filmmaking, and marine conservation

In this special episode, I’m sharing my full life story — from my childhood sailing a Sunfish on my grandparents’ lake, to my aviation career flying Gulfstreams for celebrities, to the stroke that ended my flying days, and how that ultimately led to creating Sailing Doodles. It’s been a wild ride: flying rockstars around the world, living in Nigeria and Dubai, surviving a medical crisis, and then finally selling everything to chase the dream of sailing full time. I’ll take you through the twists, setbacks, and adventures that brought me here today. If you’ve ever wondered how Sailing Doodles started — this is the story behind it all.
Ever dreamed of selling it all and retiring to sail the world? In this episode of The Sailing Doodles Podcast, Bobby breaks down what it really takes to make that dream happen. From health and fitness (because sailing isn’t a spectator sport), to money and income streams, to choosing the right boat and lifestyle — we cover it all. Whether you’re 55 and planning ahead or 67 and wondering if it’s too late, this episode gives you the honest truth about the realities of retiring at sea. Topics include: Why your health matters more than your bank account How much money you really need to cruise full-time Passive vs. non-passive income while sailing Why your boat should be paid off before you cast off The mental and lifestyle adjustments that make or break retirement cruising Subscribe for more stories, tips, and real talk about life on the water!

Think the ocean is lawless? Think again. In this episode we dive into some of the quirkiest maritime laws that still affect sailors today — from the Coast Guard’s power to board your boat anytime without probable cause, to the myth of 33% salvage rewards, to fines for flying the wrong or tattered flag, bizarre anchoring restrictions, and even odd crew contract rules. Topics covered: Coast Guard boarding authority (Revenue Act roots & Prohibition era) Salvage rights & the truth behind the 33% myth Courtesy flag fines & quirky traditions Anchoring bans, seagrass zones, and “pay-to-anchor” politics Crew contracts, Bible laws, and desertion rights Have you ever been boarded, fined, or tangled up in a weird maritime rule?

While I won’t name anyone or speak ill of them, I wanted to share my feelings of disappointment and how I’m choosing to respond with positivity. I also want to thank everyone who’s sailed with me over the years, and I’m honored by the memories we’ve shared.

From lightning strikes and engine failure to fires and man overboard situations—this episode dives deep into the scariest things that can happen on a boat. I’ve lived through a few of these, and others are every sailor’s nightmare. But fear not—this episode isn’t just about horror stories.

Well my new sailing Cat Island Spirit 525 has been delayed and I likely won't get it until next summer. I need something to sailing the mean time so I am buying a used Sea Ray to scream around the bahamas for 4 months! Does it sound like a good time?
I tell you how and why we ended up in Mexico. We had such a good time down there. It is a beautiful place and the people are so warm and friendly. It's too bad about how corrupt the government is and the crime. We almost were held for ransom or went to prison just for making a wrong turn. This is my story.
