      I'm glad! I've been using music that people I know and other emerging artists too, so I can try help share their work! Links to their channels are always in the description of my videos! Thank you, it's been amazing so far😁💙

    As well as tidying up and securing the cabin before a trip it’s also a really good idea to tidy up and secure or stow any lines and ropes on the deck because they can easily get swept overboard by a wave and wrapped round the prop and you REALLY don’t want that!

      Fantastic voice, it was so good I reacted and that doesn't happen often nowadays... I'm a musician and singer myself but I did quit 20 years ago because of stage fright, never one's did I feel good on stage so what's the point? Well well, enough of the old fart, I will listen to your friend!

      Yes you look a little shy on camera, but you have the opportunity to re-record, live on stage you have one shoot. Try to keep the shyness, it's very cute.

    Alderney scenery looks brilliant. What are your plans? Back to the uk?, French Canals? Bay of Biscay?

    • @TheArgonautsVlog
      @TheArgonautsVlog  2 года назад

      It was so beautiful!😍 We were going to try do Biscay with small hops and then a crossing between La Rochelle and Bilbao but ended up taking the canals from Bordeaux to Séte instead... you'll see why once the videos catch up with us! We've been stuck in Séte for a few weeks with engine troubles and we're flying back to the UK for 3 months soon because of the visa situation☺️ After that the plan is to head towards Croatia🧜🏻‍♀️💙

    Hi. I live on a 28ft myself here in the US. What type of boat is yours? Looks like a fin keel type but not sure. Can't find any info on the make and year. Looks nice and I like it

    Could you possibly mix the audio levels with a little more consistency? The music is exactly double the gain of all your recorded-to-camera audio and 2.5x the gain of your shot-in-hand audio. Thank you

      Hello! Thanks for commenting! A few people have mentioned this in the past and I'm trying to work on it😳 I turned the volume of the music down much more than I usually would for this one but perhaps it needs to be even lower still😂 So sorry, I'm very new to the whole video editing thing and am still using iMovie at the moment! I promise it will get better soon! Thanks again for letting me know☺️🧜🏻‍♀️💙
