- Season 5 - Episode 88 : Preparation and departure.
Welcome to Season 5 of our channel !
On this season we take you along with us on a yacht delivery we were hired to do helping take a 74ft power yacht from Seattle, Washington to Los Angeles, California. We are calling these "Yacht Delivery Chronicles" a series we will continue to make with future deliveries. This will give people a rare insight into what goes into a Yacht Delivery, both good and bad.
Our fearless leader (and old friend) Captain Dave Stovall was at the command ( / captaindavestovall ) and the three of us had a wild ride.
There was an "Engineer" on board for the first week or so but the crew had a lot of conflict with him later on so we won't really focus on him.
On this first episode of the our new series we prepare the boat before departing on Seattles Lake Union and making our way through the Ballard Locks then on out into Puget Sound.
So give the episode a watch and see how things unfold.

It's cool that you get to experience both worlds. Sail for fun, power yacht for work. Not to shabby of a lifestyle!
:)
Your older material & I love it!
Should have stopped by. My mooring is right there at the locks. As a first time Seattle visitor you got all of the landmarks perfect.
Camille's sister lives in Seattle and she has spent a lot of time there, wonderful city!
This should prove to be a pretty cool series! You guys are starting to blow up. Hope to see you hit 100k subs fast.
Great video keep up the good work.👍😎
20:45 That's hilarious: "Better Caul Saul, sailor edition"
thanks friends
Thank You for your videos
Awesome 😎
Looks epic
it was a wild ride!
Awesome video...How did the boat get to the west coast from Italy?... Atlantic/ Panama Canal?
Not sure how she ended up in the PNW. But at some point someone did a bad remodel on her. The layout in the original plans we found on board was so much better.
If I may offer an advice about how you handle the camera, when you pan (going left to right or the other way) try to plan ahead what you want to show and then, move the camera s-l-o-w-l-y in only one direction. It will greatly improve the quality of your videos. Have a look at the RUclips channel "Life is like sailing" for a good example of quality videos. Thank you for your interesting videos, specialy those documenting the improvements you do on your sailboat.
James how do you prepare to fire up the engines after 10 years or were they being maintained during it's off the water non useage?
The engines were brand new when installed and there was a guy who did preventive maintenance on the engines and ran them ever so often so they were in good shape but we did have an engine alarm that went off for like 14 days straight.
Are your team able to deliver a 125ft 338 tons from Athens, Greece to Houston, Texas
If the money is there and the conditions are safe we are able to delivery anything you can contact david@davidstovall.com to talk about details and see if we can get your boat moved for you!
At 14 mins in, so disregard if you answer in the video boss. But do you think or feel this could be a viable way for a fellow to make money while cruising with a family?
I mean in order to pay the bills, food, maintenance etc.. you think it could be done? My wife and I are not minimalist, but we are not extravagant either. Kinda middle of the road.
If you have a Captains license and are hired as a captain you are paid much more than the crew so it would be possible to make a living doing this,,, IF you had a few yacht brokers that hired you regularly. The main issue is there is a lot of competition for this work depending on the region or there just aren't a lot of deliveries to be had, also depending on the region. For instance if someone lives in Florida there is so much boat traffic up and down the east coast and in the Caribbean that it might be possible to stay busy as a delivery captain but again you would need a network to keep it steady.
@@SailorJames thanks boss, I see how it could work in some areas and not others 👍👊 coffees on me, if ever we meet.
Charter boat companies need boats deadheaded at times, I am pretty sure they hire licensed captains...
Scarface Boat 😂😂😂👍👍👍
etejour courage amigo capetin James en cemmlle Nice 😍😙⛵💑🌴🎊💐
So no buccaneer days for you two ??
I won't speak for James but the 2 weekends I'll NEVER go to Catalina is 4 July and Bucaneer Days
A good video, but slowing down on the panning shots would make it even better.
I wish I could improve my English writing to be able to put a comment in so few words.
If I saw right, it was 3,7 something/gallon for the diesel. That's pretty much $1 Liter?? If so, it exactly half the price we pay in Norway.
Fair winds ,,,/),,,,
Washington state has insane fuel taxes no income tax though
@@scott.wallace8625 I meant that we pay double of that in Norway.
approx $7,6 gallon we pay....
That is crazy!!! we should count ourselves lucky!
@@SailorJames Ha ha, yes, that's way you see so many el.cars in Norway.
No, but I think we have one of the highest tax in the world on things like "are bad for you, or the enviroment"
Gasoline, tobaco, sugger, alcohol ex
Wouldn’t it be considered inappropriate for staff to be sleeping in the guest cabin?
Professional delivery crews are not “Yacht Staff” we sleep where ever we want or the boat doesn’t get home
Are you allowed to do yacht delivery if you are colour blind?
There is no authority that says you can or can’t
@@SailorJames I done a 3 month course for a career in the merchant navy and failed the eng1 due to colour blindness.I desperately want to have a career at sea so if this is the case then this provides me a little hope. I am also interested in sailing the world like you have.
Try slowing down your panning. You go by some interesting places and things too fast.
Did anyone notice that they had to pay 3000 dollars for fuel
$12,000 in fuel for the total passage !!!!
🖒🖒🙌🙌🌷
Enjoy your video however, you tend to pan way too fast making ti uncomfortable to view. Slow it down so viewers can see what you are trying to show. Give us a chance to also enjoy the views.Thank you. Fair Winds.
