    Your comments on the temperatures during the day being warm and then dropping at night remind me of when I first came to Canada from SA. Came inside in winter and said "Even though it is sunny it is still freezing"

    • @Bowmans-Woods
      @Bowmans-Woods  5 лет назад

      Yes. Canada is like that. If it is sunny in the winter it can be somewhat pleasant. As soon as the sun goes down, look out because the temp drops fast. I guess we didn't expect that near Africa. You think Africa = Hot. That antarctic current was what really sucked the heat out of the air at night.

      Many of us use this information and planning, that is documented to assist us in our own in devours.
      Thanks .
      FYI if my new boat was 1.4 mill the only alcohol that would be open on that Passage would be rubbing alcohol.... for any bumps and scraps from bouncing around .
      Im sure the drinks were sparse on the voyage with Paul and Sheryl
      As a police officer I am sure you have seen your fair share of misfortunes.

      Yes. I wasn’t expecting all the drinking. Paul and Sheryl had a 1 drink with dinner rule. That’s fair in my book. I don’t drink much, but I think there would have been a mutiny had you told this crew you get 1 drink a day. It’s not my boat, so I couldn’t make the rules. Thanks for the kind words.

      Craig, you sir have the patience of a saint! Had that been me, the minute I learned of their collective adolescent behavior, I wouldn’t have aborted the mission. Considering what you went through w/HQ getting a leave of absence approved, time away from your woman, economic cost et. al, it is most certainly perplexing their behavior. In lieu of appreciating your goodwill , the owner chose to behave ungrateful & unprofessional. He should have concentrated on promoting his product instead of sabotaging your filming. He wasted a great opportunity to project to the RUclips world he runs a professional organization. Safe sailing brother and keep up the great work.

    It's not that I don't like boat speakers, but the 24 hour frat party!!! Been there, hated that...but I think at least your fellas had a few more miles on them to calm things down a bit. When I take my "boat to go" kit, people always laugh at me for packing so much foul weather gear....then they freeze while I am nice and toasty. This is true lots of times even in supposedly warm weather areas. You can get significant icing throughout the summer in the Atlantic. Always pack some way to get warm on sailing adventures.

    Although I'm a musician of profession, I never play music while sailing. I feel that the whole point of sailing and feeling the sea and the nature is lost if you play music. I want to feel and hear the nature around me and also my boat. Every little sound that comes from my boat, the engine the sails I want to hear it, also for safety reasons.

      I see both sides. I often listen to podcasts or audio books while sailing so that I can learn stuff while enjoying the outdoors. I am not a huge music buff. But the owner was. That was cool too. It just made it hard to film the natural sounds. That was my only concern.

      I have heard it depends how seriously the copyright owner takes it. If they just want all your monitization then they get it and the video stays up. That is not considered a strike but you make nothing from the views. If you have 3 full strikes from 3 different videos then they can freeze or take down your channel.

      You're out on the ocean, in the middle of ocean, with a flat clear horizon, no obstacles, nothing you could hit even if you wanted to, 3 kinds of radar and satellite warning and navigation systems, and "the road" is a thousand miles wide.
      Yah, as long as the person on watch has themself together enough and not gonna pass out to where you could actually sail into another ship in the next hour, which is about a million to one against anyway, it really doesn't matter if anyone else is even vaguely sober. Or sane. Or looking.
      So the question becomes, "How do you want to live your life, when there's no reason to have any particular rules?" It's an ink-blot-test of your true character. What do you see in the waves, when there's no one left to look back at you?

    I have never sailed across an ocean so I am speaking out of ignorance but I would have thought that heavy drinking and blue water sailing is not a good idea, no matter what the weather there is always a chance that something can go wrong, breakage, whale hit, container hit, man overboard you name it and being hindered in any way is not a good idea. Imagine if you lost someone and it became known that most crew on board were in party mode day after day. Just my thoughts.

I just have the opinion that blue water sailing while stunningly beautiful is not something to be taken lightly, certainly any commercial craft and you must have zero alcohol while in control of a vessel.
