Sailing SV Bully

16 Followers

We're a family of 7, living life aboard our 1983 Vagabond 47. She was designed by the famous naval architect William Garden, and built in the notorious Taiwanese shipyards of the 70s and 80s. She weighs over 40,000 pounds, and pushes through rough seas like a bully... but that's not why we named her Bully. Actually, "Bully" is an archaic term used often in old sea shanties, and has a variety of meanings. Dating back to the 1800s, not only can Bully refer to a sailor who has had a bit too much rum (Bully in the Alley), but it was also used as an adjective -- a term of endearment and fondness towards those you'd find dashing, jovial, and high-spirited (Bully Boys)! ​ So, who better to sail our Bully Crew around, than SV Bully?

We are the crew of Knotty Nature, Katie and Brian. Two Artists from Sunny California taking the adventurous plunge into becoming live aboard sailors. We are ditching the preverbal work boots to enjoy the world of traveling, digging our toes into the sand and creating art as we see it. Katie was an Embalmer for many years, with an Art Degree that was looming to be used. Brian is an Award winning Tattoo Artist of 30 years, that has decided it's time we live that life we want. We both have loved living life, experiencing other cultures, exploring the oceans above and below, and enjoy creating Art. Join us as we live, laugh, do Art, and Oil Paint as much of the world as we can, while Sailing Knotty Nature. We are always creating art and decided to have an online store. Please have a look from time to time, and help support the fun.
