  • Well after filming a few boats and viewing 9 others that weren't even worth filming I have finally settled down on the one! And what better time to buy a boat then when one of your best friends is coming to visit! Katerina and I go through the boat buying process and enjoy a few days in paradise on the beautiful island of ST John at my friends mountain top Airbnb! Then after a little provisioning and a whole lot of luck we take off for a crossing to Puerto Rico island hopping our way with a brand new boat to us! What an adventure this has turned out to be, and its only just starting!

    Quite right, I quit a couple of channels simply because the RUclipsr wanted to the focus on herself/himself instead of the location, wildlife, sailing, geography, etc. Oh, and we saw dolphins earlier! Oh we saw whales, they were cool. Glad for you! I can see happy pretty people on a golf channel. Best wishes.

      Thank you for the kind words. I want to bring more of what people want to see. Like how does all this stuff work and how do you actually get out and do it. I feel like a lot of channels have left that part of this lifestyle behind on the RUclips channels.

    Congratulations on your new boat and your new life! First bit of advice, PUT THAT WOMAN ON THE HELM and manage the anchoring and sails!! The boat is beautiful! Brings back so many memories!!

      Thank you!! It's been a crazy journey, the hardest so far has been getting insurance and finding people that do good work on boats... I have given up and been doing almost all the work by myself!! Then you know how well everything has been done!

    Jake, I always talked about it but your doing it. Bravo for you! Hope to see you soon. Racing the J22 on Lake Minnetonka is starting to feel restricting!😊

      We gotta get you out to some blue water instead of swerving around milfoil 😅😅

    Constructive criticisms - 1) The music is just too annoying to stand. 2) The camera work is jittery and all over the place. I looks like it was filmed on an iPhone after 10 cups of coffee. 3) Don't assume that the viewers will be fascinated by you and your toys. Your exclusive focus on yourself is setting yourself to be viewed as not terribly likeable. 4) The video is disjointed and chaotic. Look at the visual quality of the sailing videos of successful youtubers. 5) The viewers of sailing videos don't want to be you, they want to be where you are, with the people you are with and where you are going. You are the main character but you are not the point of the video. 5) Your Russian friend was just relegated B roll in this video - the history of how she got there and her personality should have been part of the main action. Summary - less focus on you.

      It was filmed on my phone 🤣. Camera didn't fit in the little travel bag to go get the boat lol! Made due with what we had for the first videos lol
