Sailing: Brian Trautman Quits Job, Sells Everything to Sail Decade+ – Seattle to New Zealand Start, Sailing SV Delos YouTube (100M+ Views), 6 Continents, 40 Countries, All Oceans Crossed on 53ft Ketch.Have you ever wanted to just quit your job, sell your house and head out on an adventure for a decade? Yeah, me too. Today we chat with someone who actually did that and is still doing it, Brian Trautman. After being unsatisfied with the “perfect job”, house, car, etc., he came across a book about sailing across the ocean and knew that was what he needed to do with his life. He sold everything he owned, bought a boat, and sailed to New Zealand from Seattle. That first experience started a trend that would extend for more than a decade and lead to countless adventures that have been chronicled on his YouTube channel: Sailing SV Delos, gaining over 100 million views in the process. To date, Brian has visited 6 continents, 40 countries, and crossed every ocean on his 53 foot Ketch. Enjoy!youtube.com/svdelosInstagram: @svdelosFacebook: @svdelossvdelos.comAthletic Brewing Company is a pioneer in craft non-alcoholic beer.
