    All the boat chores to be done by the crew when guests aren't aboard are fascinating to me. Seeing all that's required to maintain such a vessel is great. Thanks so much for sharing, and I look forward to the next installment!!

    It is nice showing the crew working. Especially all the hard work that goes on when guests are not there. Just because they are crossing the Atlantic does not mean it is party time. Continue with the great videos.

    Blair! Great content. Have been following you guys around the last season and it is special to see what vibe your yachtlife content brings the viewers. Keep it up! For the next season, I really really liked it when captain Paul kind of gave other big yachts their moments with some good shots and some information about them. As a yachtfan I thought that distinguished you guys from other yachtcontent. Looking forward to the next one!

    I get goose bumps every time I watch this. Such a lovely boat and such great crew. I wonder how long it takes to find a crew who all get on so well, I'm sure it would usually take a long time though as many of you are all from the same place its a bit easier. I would love a 1 on 1 with all crew to know them all a bit better (maybe too personal for some), would love to know who is with who and stuff. Cant wait for more footage of a long trip with sea all around with no land in sight. Take care everyone.

    This is awesome! It is really amazing what a professional crew is like compared to a regular boat owner. Of course the scale is much different, but testing safety equipment is something I should do more regularly too! Thanks! I would like to see a little more about the navigation. The straights look challenging but I would be very interested in how the navigation equipment helps with currents and heading. Thanks again!
