I’ve watched your channel almost since day one and I’ve always found your abrasiveness hilarious. I’m arguably on the spectrum myself and my second oldest son has Asperger’s (confirmed) as well. I’m a single dad who raised all of my kids on South Park, who made an entire episode about Cartman thinking he had Asperger’s. Keep up the great work.
Wow love the back story. Gives us so much more context about who you are. I thought you were abrasive for the few videos of yours I watched. After that it just adds to how funny you are. You have a great sense of humor & mostly because of your honesty. Keep it up!! We love it!
We love your abrasive side! We are there for you and for the fact that you don’t say what we want to hear but what we need to hear to make better choices. I learned and learn a lot with your videos. Thank you to be there!
I come to your channel to ground myself and detox from all the conflicting sailing contents played on the YT. Thanks for sharing your story. It makes your insights that much more relevant.
Great review. This guy is like you say. Lol. Honest judge. Sounds like a great dude. Some of the most valuable content on you tube. The tism and communication style is great to me. My son and I both have it too. Best type of ppl. Abrasive maybe, straightforward always.
Your communication is appreciated. You are genuine and your rough communication is perfect for me, it is honest and true with good intentions. Your fan from Santurce PR.
Watch a lot of your videos and I find them hilarious. This might have been my favorite one. Very relatable and honest. Sure beats a crying face thumbnail. 😂
Loved this video and your story. I feel like you are absolutely in tune with who you are and that you gave yourself a very honest evaluation. I know who I’m contacting when I get ready to pull the trigger on a sailing vessel.
Thanks for that, sorry about your father. I’m that 72 year old dreamer with the reluctant wife! Also a full consulting customer. You’ve saved me so much money, by not running out to buy a blue water boat. I will enjoy other people’s boats for now. Thank you.
I love your content and keep being you! As soon as you said Asperger’s I was like that make sense lol. Seriously, you have a wealth of knowledge and love hearing your take
I can find a million people who will lie to me for their benefit. It's a lot harder to find ones who will share their honest opinion with me I never understood why so many people don't recognize the value that truth & honesty has. I guess a lot of people have to protect their egos
Yeah, thats why there is another channel always pushing the 30k boats, he is selling you an illusion, a dream, he doesnt care if you blow your life savings,I do though,
Thanks for that video. I didn’t have the full picture on you and, as a result, was never sure how much credibility to assign to you, though I’ve always appreciated your content, opinions, personal angle, and candor. And yes, your monochromatic delivery early on might have given me some reason to wonder about you. This video really helps viewers to understand the breadth of your experience and creds, which are truly substantial! I had a fever to get into sailing a handful of years ago, but work and biking took priority. I still give thought to it and sail on friends’ boats, though I no longer have a dying urge to buy one. However, if time, money and opportunity permit someday, I know I’ll come to you for advice. Thanks, again. Keep up the great work. P.S.: You really did date our vintage when you talked about phones in the stone ages and reminded me how we used to “dial” a phone number! Feel the same way about putting myself on camera for RUclips.
Thank you for sharing your story ❤ my youngest son may have Asperger Syndrome. You have given me hope as I enjoy your content and admire your work. Thank you
Thanks man, I do appreciate the context. It's very helpful. Family responsibilities aren't sexy or exciting, but it's real. Keep up the work. I'll keep watching.
This is one of the best channels for the Entertainment value alone. I think a lot of YT creators could learn just from your candor and delivery. Well done.
I also think you sometimes are a little harsh but i like that you are real and honest and you also say its your opnion so that is more than fine keep it up!
Comedy is a plus and we always get that with the sailing on this channel 🤣 thank you keep it up !! I didn't purchase the Bene 311 -- 2003 , she is nice for 35k . I had 2 weeks to decide before she is tractor trailered to San Diego ( sold)
Thank you for this. I was in radio a long time ago, and I can be pretty judgy about how people talk in voiceovers and things like that. You know, speech patterns, inflection, word choice, repetition and all that. One day I hope to be not so judgy just because I'm cool like that. But, until then learning about people helps me lose that judgement. I really like your content and your attitude. Keep it up!
Love your story, enjoy your content, love the abrasiveness because its real, as a lifelong waterperson from a hardcore sailing family (although I windsurf primarily), I know you're not full of it and that it all comes from experience...to me its obvious. Your channel is a gold nugget in a sea of RUclips fairy tales.....Oh, and like you, you'll never see my face on my RUclips videos because its irrelevant to what I do and I grew up in the same era as you did!!
I appreciate the candor and knowledge you provide... Add the entertainment through your views and humor, and I think you might be on the right track with this RUclips thing! 😆😉😎 I think many feel the same... 👍😎👍
Love the unabashed truth told in a humorously sarcastic approach. The truth can be hurtful or funny - i find it quite funny. Love your channel. Those who get hurt by it are in denial.
There was a kid did a world trip with an old boat he was given. Amazing story . He was doing a fund raiser for a home for handicapped . He became somewhat of a hero ! Great story By the time he was home the boat was on its last legs !
Love your channel and really appreciate your authenticity which is why I watch all your videos. I meant to ask you what happened to guy in Florida with that house and catamaran? Did he make it through ok? Keep up the good work 👍
@@ChasingLatitudes I will check it out…glad to hear it. When I was growing up my grandparents lived in the country and had a party line. Rotary phone of course but as kids we could pick up the line and listen to your neighbors phone calls.
@@waynegunter-teel3341 I remember that, when something might happen to the phone lines and boom you could here george next door cheating on his wife via the phone with susie
Im not a sailor or anything close YET! But this is my absolute favorite channel for information in the area of sailing. Just keep doing you. The real ones will be here for it.
Thanks for producing this episode. I enjoyed hearing about your career and guess we are a similar age and your video style is very unique. Being a British sailor your commentary style sometimes comes over as sarcastic sometimes which I find funny. Keep up the good work cheers
Hey Chris, thanks for your honest and downright entertaining channel. I can’t wait to watch your videos and enjoy every one! Your videos are excellent and I’ve learned a lot from your insights. I’ll definitely be reaching out when I’m ready to start looking for a boat. For now though I’m living vicariously through your adventures! Cheers Mate✊👍👏👏👏
I think a major issue is these folks get out on the water and can't figure out what to do. They all put out the same lame content. Look at me sailing, drinking, checking out T&A. Hiking, Aren't I cool? Poor me I need to fix my Yacht so please send me your money so I can continue. There are a few doing some good out there. But most are pitiful.
Chris, I bought my dream boat lagoon 380 3 years ago and have been broke ever since, it's been awesome! I didn't know anything about sailboats and I used your chanel as a guide when I was going through the process so thanks for that. I've been enjoying your no BS content ever since! I hope you get that Moody one day
In my unintended retirement I have become a cat rancher and RUclips conisewer… That delusional idea of “buying a boat and seeing the world”, well, your videos have helped disabuse me of that notion and reframe the “dream” into realistic expectations with an actual plan on the best approach to buy a boat and learn to sail… whatever episode that was, really appreciated the advice
I watch because you are a no bs straight shooter, that’s seems like you really want to help/guide people in the right direction. Good on you for helping your dad, my dad had 7 brain surgeries when I was a senior in high school so I can relate. RUclips is probably excellent therapy for Asperger’s, plus you make a little coin. Hopefully we consult soon but I have to get the spouse on board which is very likely even though we are mid 50’s. Keep on Shakin and Bakin. !!!
Awesome man, yeah its how I pump out so many videos, I'm hyper focused all the time and just happens to be sailing that my focus is on win,win in my book
Chris--Thank you for being willing to talk about the Asperger's experience. I know that sensory stimulation has a calming effect for many folks on The Spectrum, and sailing sure does provide that (I liken it to always having two or three cocktails in you, which is why the effect of adult beverages is so devastating).
You could have visited the Annapolis boat show so you could meet people and inform them of your abilities and opportunities that you provide. Best wishes Chris.
Chris, this was a great video. Listening to you trashing everyone's dumpsters is great entertainment, but this was cool, to give us all a look behind the curtain. Thanks brother. I can only imagine what you'd say about my 1980 Bayfield 29 hahaha.
You are killing it bro. No need to explain yourself but I was riveted. SW Florida, Naples here and my goal is to get a Gemini. Perfect for here to the keys. I’m old and lazy 😂. If I ever decide I will definitely consult! 😅
I’ve always thought you were an AH. A very knowledgeable and experienced AH, but an AH nonetheless. Makes a lot more sense now, and good of you to take care of dad in his time of need. Your MO has always been calling out other channels, but it’s also what holds your channel back. As a word of encouragement, spread positivity instead of negativity and watch your channel blow up. You’re not wrong for what you say, you just say it the wrong way. Look, 95 - 99% of people watching all these channels, that are then recommended to your channel, will only ever dream of getting on the water and enjoy living vicariously through RUclips. It’s your show, and keep doing what you’re doing. Just giving you my $.02
All good my man, me delivery needs some work ;) I have been nothing but posotive about the channels thats ive talked about recently, maybe not the baots but the channels yes
@@ChasingLatitudes Nah man, they (travel tubers) are selling a dream that is going to be a nightmare for most people. That is why you what you are doing is important. 8 out of 10 people that do deliveries with you find out sailing is not for them... because they were duped into romanticizing it. I watched those channels, then yours came and grounded me. I think you should ramp up the business of taking people on deliveries instead of selling a dream on the Tube. Sailing appears to be for the wealthy or the Master of DIY. I am a DIY guy witch attracts me to it.
That's an awesome story man. We are one of those bought a $5,000 boat sailors yo speak about. Me and my wife watch your videos and laugh all the time, "well he's not wrong" we say. 😅 Keep them coming, we learn a little with every video. Cheers from a Puerto Rican living in the PNW. See you soon on the Island!
From one Neuro Nontypical Gen Xer to another love your story and your content. Awesome of you to sacrifice and take care of pops in his time of need. I’ve gotta take care of myself because VA Tricare sux!
Ahoy! Wow I didn’t know you just started your channel when I just started watching it during Covid. I remember too watching your live when a big storm hit and we were laughing at people at Florida’s southern most tip. I bought the tshirt lol. Good times. I don’t know if I know anyone per se with Asperger’s but I love your straightforwardness, name calling not so much but I get it. Fair winds!
Bought a 1977 Hunter 30. NEVER SLEEP EBAY. 500 BUCKS BUT.. transom has about a 2 foot split on the right side. Now I’m looking at how to move this POS. Guess I’ll fix it and do some sailing lol
😂 Bro I bought a '77 Cal 2-27 and kept it in the Bay for a year then brought it home to fit it for crossing and of course that caused a divorce so hang in there!❤
Would you say Social Blade data is accurate???? I always wondered especially with the big channels. Great content btw ! Please don’t stop ripping on RUclipsrs, it’s comedy gold!
yes, money wise you can normally assume all things considered its about 1k per 100k views, so a channel with 1 million views a month assume they made ten k, minus taxes lets make that 6.5 k split that between a couple and boom you've made 3250.00 per month, per person, comes out to roughly 20 bucks an hour based on a 40 hour work week but sailing RUclips is not a 40 hour work week so financially this is why you see so many sponsors , patreon and so on
Great video Chris, thanks for sharing about yourself! And a side note, the girl wearing a straw hat in your intro looks like Jade from Expedition Evens lol
No way you’re from my area!!! My ears perked up when you said the Columbia river & Government island! I’m listening to the rain outside right now lol. What year was did that sail boat catch fire?
the abrasiveness seems more genuine and honest, which is why I dig the channel, keep it up!
I appreciate that!
I too prefer raw honesty rather than disingenuous ass kissing
I too welcome my new abrasive overlord
@@doodlegassum6959 ha thank you

You don't owe anyone an explanation and certainly no apology, you are genuine. Stay true to yourself and keep up the great work!

I learned and learn a lot with your videos.
Thank you to be there!
Thank you thank you
Wow man. That's an awesome story. Glad there are still sons like you out there.
Thanks my man

Thank you thank you
Great story. Thanks for sharing your experiences and insight. Us Noobs need a resource so we don't end up buying a hugely expensive regret.

Thank you so much!!
Cheers Bro, you have given me a lot of focus on what would work for me in a boat, not what would be acceptable to others.
awesome, make sure to get the boat that works for you and not the neighbor or the random commenter
I don't find you abrasive at all man, you're a hoot. On top of the entertainment, you are a wealth of unfiltered knowledge. No sponsors = unbiased!
Thank you thank you
Thanks for that, sorry about your father. I’m that 72 year old dreamer with the reluctant wife! Also a full consulting customer. You’ve saved me so much money, by not running out to buy a blue water boat. I will enjoy other people’s boats for now. Thank you.
That is awesome! Maybe try a charter once to see if you can get the wife hooked ?
I was late for this one, watched it over again. What a great story.
Thank you
Hey dude! Thank you for sharing! Very deep and vulnerable video. It's to good to know a bit more about you
Thanks my man
Well done! Protect your privacy as long as you can, we don’t need more celebrities just more honesty
Thank you, I agree
One of your best videos Chris! Thank you.
Genuine
thank you
I love your content and keep being you! As soon as you said Asperger’s I was like that make sense lol. Seriously, you have a wealth of knowledge and love hearing your take
" that makes sense " hahah thats funny
Thanks Buddy. Explains a few things. I’ve learnt quite a lot from you already so thanks.
Thanks my man
@ a chick
Honesty, based on experience, is always appreciated.
Thank you
Chris, you are a camp. Telling people your story and letting people into your life only makes you human and relatable.
Thanks my man
I can find a million people who will lie to me for their benefit.
It's a lot harder to find ones who will share their honest opinion with me
I never understood why so many people don't recognize the value that truth & honesty has. I guess a lot of people have to protect their egos
Yeah, thats why there is another channel always pushing the 30k boats, he is selling you an illusion, a dream, he doesnt care if you blow your life savings,I do though,

You are so welcome! We just get super focused ;) its a good thing, we come off like a bit of an a hole but thats alright
Yes awesome story. I love the way you call out the phony's and the way you chat with us, keep it up.
Thank you thank you , I try to respond to every comment
Great job sharing your story! Your honesty is appreciated here. Phuk the naysayers who can't handle the truth!
Truth!
You are sure one of a kind, man. Always watching you channels.
thanks my man, i appreciate that
Great bio video Chris! Remind me of my uncle who also sailed and suffered no fools.
Thanks my man
Many people are just envious. Enjoyed the video, your story is well told and interesting.
@@wildebeest3 thank you
You’re a legend Chris. Always watching!
Thank you thank you

Thanks my man
You crack me up!!! All the time. Your own style fo sho.... Keep it up! Thanks
Thanks my man
You're the man thanks for sharing your story. Love the keys. Its funny how like clockwork certain people fall in love with the keys immediately.
Yeah, once I took that little vacation that was it for me, I moved the first chance I had and never looked back
This is one of the best channels for the Entertainment value alone. I think a lot of YT creators could learn just from your candor and delivery. Well done.
Appreciate that
I also think you sometimes are a little harsh but i like that you are real and honest and you also say its your opnion so that is more than fine keep it up!
Thank you
Comedy is a plus and we always get that with the sailing on this channel 🤣 thank you keep it up !! I didn't purchase the Bene 311 -- 2003 , she is nice for 35k . I had 2 weeks to decide before she is tractor trailered to San Diego ( sold)
Bummer you missed out on the boat
Thank you for this. I was in radio a long time ago, and I can be pretty judgy about how people talk in voiceovers and things like that. You know, speech patterns, inflection, word choice, repetition and all that. One day I hope to be not so judgy just because I'm cool like that. But, until then learning about people helps me lose that judgement. I really like your content and your attitude. Keep it up!
All good my man, I am super judgy as well, im a work in progress
Great video. Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself. I have no interest in sailing at all but your videos are addictive and have hooked me!
Haha thats awesome, thank you
Love your story, enjoy your content, love the abrasiveness because its real, as a lifelong waterperson from a hardcore sailing family (although I windsurf primarily), I know you're not full of it and that it all comes from experience...to me its obvious.
Your channel is a gold nugget in a sea of RUclips fairy tales.....Oh, and like you, you'll never see my face on my RUclips videos because its irrelevant to what I do and I grew up in the same era as you did!!
100% completely irrelevant right ?
I appreciate the candor and knowledge you provide...
Add the entertainment through your views and humor, and I think you might be on the right track with this RUclips thing! 😆😉😎

There was a kid did a world trip with an old boat he was given.
Amazing story .
He was doing a fund raiser for a home for handicapped .
He became somewhat of a hero ! Great story

You should try and sell designs and modifications to sailing manufacturers. To improve sailing for sailers.
True, they are not always the best when it comes to listening

Thank you so much 🤗
Ahoy! Wow I didn’t know you just started your channel when I just started watching it during Covid. I remember too watching your live when a big storm hit and we were laughing at people at Florida’s southern most tip. I bought the tshirt lol. Good times.
I don’t know if I know anyone per se with Asperger’s but I love your straightforwardness, name calling not so much but I get it. Fair winds!
Good times my man, tarp life

Bendies are getting cheap right now. Quite a few on the market in the $50-80 range. for the 36 that I am looking for.
Yes they have dropped significantly in price
I actually enjoy your honest opinions
Thank you for watching and taking the time out of your day to comment, i sincerely appreciate it
Actually one of the best vids I’ve seen you do.. love it! ❤
Ahh thanks my man
Bought a 1977 Hunter 30. NEVER SLEEP EBAY. 500 BUCKS BUT.. transom has about a 2 foot split on the right side. Now I’m looking at how to move this POS. Guess I’ll fix it and do some sailing lol
Haha, awesome
😂 Bro I bought a '77 Cal 2-27 and kept it in the Bay for a year then brought it home to fit it for crossing and of course that caused a divorce so hang in there!❤
HAHA, boats are the relationship killer
faceless channels lose me pretty quick! Glad to see this to put better perspective to your videos! Cheers
@@SailStillwater thabk you
Would you say Social Blade data is accurate???? I always wondered especially with the big channels. Great content btw ! Please don’t stop ripping on RUclipsrs, it’s comedy gold!
It's quite a ways off as far as money made. For views and subs its fairly close
@@ChasingLatitudes so the money made is understated I would assume?
yes, money wise you can normally assume all things considered its about 1k per 100k views, so a channel with 1 million views a month assume they made ten k, minus taxes lets make that 6.5 k split that between a couple and boom you've made 3250.00 per month, per person, comes out to roughly 20 bucks an hour based on a 40 hour work week but sailing RUclips is not a 40 hour work week so financially this is why you see so many sponsors , patreon and so on
Care giver is a serious tough job man !
Your dad has a great son ❤
Thanks my man
Great video, man. Sailors can't have thin skins -- nature doesn't allow it :) Tell it like it is! Your experience is epic. -- From an SF bay sailor
Well said! thank you so much
Great video Chris, thanks for sharing about yourself! And a side note, the girl wearing a straw hat in your intro looks like Jade from Expedition Evens lol
lol I disagree hahahaha all good though my man
Appreciate the honesty- keep it going
I appreciate that
No way you’re from my area!!! My ears perked up when you said the Columbia river & Government island! I’m listening to the rain outside right now lol.
