    I hope everyone enjoyed this episode, it’s not always easy to create fun watchable content during ocean passages like this one. We’re onto our second charter of the season now will be releasing some epic Caribbean content soon ! ❤

      Thanks for the bow shot! That looked so cool on the Insta360. I was kinda waiting for you to get catapulted 🤣.

      I really liked this video! Just feeling a part of the crew is awesome 😊 I have a suggestion for a video if I may 😊 The perspective of the guests would be great. I know you don't film guests obviously, but you could let the crew explain what guests do beforehand, more info on the preference sheet, what crazy things have been asked, what are common things etc. What do guests need to do/not do regarding safety. When they are on land, is someone always accompanying them? On the boat, is someone always right by them? or how do they contact you if they want anything, of that makes sense. I can imagine it's quite a skill to tend to guests meeting all their wishes but not lurk or be an a nuisance. To me it's fascinating how people would want so many people around to tend to their every "need". Hope that makes sense in my non native English 😅 Have a good day!

    Blair, some excellent videography (is that a word) of Loon cutting through a few white caps. M/Y Loon really is a beautiful yacht, graceful, reminds me of another of my favourite SuperYachts and also a beauty, M/Y Arience as you will know Jared Watney worked on. Love the technical/mechanical info. Great work guys.

    So true about cameras and waves. Many years ago before digital cameras I took my small Contessa 32 south across the Bay of Biscay. We hit some of the worst conditions I had ever encountered and took several rolls of film. Back home I told tales of mountainous seas and expert seamanship until the films came back from being processed. Keep up the good work.

    Blaire absolutely awesome video. Loved that camera showing the bow going into the waves. Drones are great to show how big the waves are, but I guess you'd not want to use them as you may be short 1 or 2 after lol. Movember well done sailors. The girls should do something for Movember ??????
    Holy crap those birds SHIT a lot. Hope they aren't a regular occurence. What fun it must have been to clean the boat after and the chase boat must have also been crapped on ?

    I’m new to all things Loom but I’m loving it. I’m trying to catch up with all your videos so I guess this comment is 3 or 4 months too late. Can you explain what the two ropes off the stern are whilst you’re underway please.

    • @motoryachtloon
      @motoryachtloon  9 месяцев назад +2

      Hey Rich, welcome to our channel. I think what you're referring to is the tow line for the chase boat being towed behind Loon. This is our large tender we use for transporting guests from Loon ashore and other activities when down here in the Caribbean. 🛥🥂

    • @richwwardrugby
      @richwwardrugby 9 месяцев назад +1

      I think the chase boat was not in the shot so that’s what confused me. Also apologies for the typo, I wrote Loom not Loon oops. She is a beautiful vessel and the atmosphere between all the staff has the right amount of gravitas verses fun. I wish you safe travels and who knows maybe one day we could be one of your guests.

    • @motoryachtloon
      @motoryachtloon  Год назад +1

      Thanks for the question. Nope, the chase boat is almost 60' and just under 20 tonnes. so she's a little big to store onboard, and we don't have the lifting ability. She rides nicely behind us, and we avoid rough weather to protect her. We also have a monitoring system onboard called TowPro, which helps us keep an eye on voltages and bilge pumps. Condition of tow, turn the lights on and off and alerts us if the tow snaps.

      The foremast is telescopic and goes up at night to indicate to other vessels what our status is. It hols 2 different white lights. 1 all-round white light for when we are at anchor and 1 steaming light for when we are underway.
