TwoLegged 2,238 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 5 hours ago, steele said: Sea Dog, and some others I have watched off and on, seem to be falling into the trap of not having a lot of content. The end result is videos transitioning from interesting to the mundane. Evans and Odd went from huge rebuilds to motoring back and forth to different anchorages to avoid wind, Sea Dog recording replacing his head Y valve, and Doodles rotating bikini models while he filters contaminated fuel. All are spending too much time talking at the camera. While Delos has gone from lots of refits to yet another crawl around Caribbean tourist hotspots, as if there was any shortage thereof. The calls for donations are becoming more prominent and more assertive. I think they have a long-term problem with the characters: Brian and Karin are worthy but dull. Brady and the short-term crew provided the sparkle. I agree that Uma has the best content right now. The sailing itself is most light airs short hops, but the location is stunning and the cinematography is brilliant. They haven't done the skillshare promos for a while, which helps. 5 hours ago, steele said: if you all run across some interesting well produced videos please continue to share. We are a month or two away from the 10 month PNW grey drizzle season and I will need some stimulation. Do you want fine sailing to stimulate your mind? Or bikinis to stimulate somewhere lower down? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He is no philosopher, he'd look crap in a bikini, and he's Captain Slow, but he has successfully and safely solo-sailed his boat from Portugal across the Atlantic, and across the pacific to Kiwiland. He doesn't push his boat hard, and he doesn't push himself hard at sea, which is probably wise cos he's no youngster. If that is giving singelanhders a bad name, I dunno what ya gotta do to be in the 1%. Knit your own sails from seaweed?

toddster 922 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Yes, the world gets smaller. The days of Robin Lee Graham, where you could just wash up on the shore and work a few weeks to earn your next passage are gone. Visas, Permits, Cruising Fees. And who can Blame them? Now we read blogs of dirtbag cruisers who have to make their sailing decisions on what fees they can afford. Douglass Adams reminds us of tourist planets so popular that they weigh everyone coming and going, and extract any excess mass before they leave. Old lighthouses where I used to roll under my parked truck to sleep are now Disneyfied attractions where you have to pay to take a trolly to see. One of my Mom’s friends told me that she could always tell when the train pulled into Los Angeles, because she could smell the orange blossoms. LMFAO. That disappeared a hundred years ago. When I was a kid, the dogs roamed far and wide and visited all the neighbors within a few miles. Now, they’re supposed to be tied up 24/7 and the neighbors call 911 if they see a dog. We can go farther North and South into harder country. But it’s all disappearing. You can designate a tract as a “wilderness area” but that only means that thousands if people will descend on it, screaming and shitting. Daniel Boone wouldn’t even know what to do. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jud - s/v Sputnik 1,428 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Ok, I just had to the explore a bit further into “Sailing Girls” that Zonker posted just above. This is pretty much exactly what happens when you take the “girl with Patreon account goes sailing in warm place” concept to its absolute worst possible conclusion. Everyone should watch this and weep. OTOH, it’s very comedic. Wait —that’s a movie genre: tragi-comedy. (And the comments on the vid are pure gold!). Ya just have to watch it and scan the comments. Sadly, we never get to meet skipper “Barry” in this epic sea film. Spoiler: [traveling from Tasmania to Australia, crossing Bass Strait, and the engine dies]: “OMG, guys! So we thought, let’s raise the mainsail instead !!”] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The new Citroen Ami is so cute that it risks becoming associated only with women. To counteract this, Citroen needs to proactively place the car with manly men. With a bit of time in the gym and some lycra clothing, Jim's sexy body can launch the car and his channel to a new audience 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At that point, Manly Men would take to their bicycles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's difficult to see very many new cat buyers amongst the LV fanbase. Even so, they sure did sell that cat mighty quickly. Sold quickly after they put it on sale? And isn't it usual with cars too to get the lease from manufacturer? "We are fans since the beginning and felt their honest and human values meets ours and they might be great ambassadors for Outremer. They had issues finding a loan for their boat, so we stepped in helping them getting a lease” explain Xavier Desmarest, CEO of Outremer." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why not some handsome sailing gentlemen in very small swimsuits to capture the attention of women (and men) who appreciate that sort of thing? We sailed with a young couple for a while that had no anchor windlass (on a 36' boat). The women on other boats would look forward to watching the male member of the crew pull up the anchor.

So we thought, let’s raise the mainsail instead !!”] She’s a flamboyant, flirtatious, ditzy character and was flouncing around here for a while looking for a boat to get North on, and that was it. Neither of the people, nor the boat were "offshore capable". The skipper was a boat buyer from NSW returning North with his newly purchased old boat. The skipper thought she was an experienced hand and she thought he was……What could possibly go wrong ! It's not unusual to see inexperienced, unprepared people’s trips turn into a farce if they don’t have any ability.They kept rescue services on standby and were eventually collected in the strait and towed into Eden by the marine police. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
