But...but...but...
The Bay of Islands is not really a hot place and they don't seem to have a Patreon account. Just because you sail an Outremer, you are not guaranteed entry to this exclusive thread - need drama and bikinis too. Rejected. Try: Guy and Girl without Patreon account go sailing.

She (and her father) finally realized this was a useless grfter with no skills or future except speaking baby talk to a dog. Probably about the time she was taking her 1500th dump in a Home Depot bucket on a POS 1970's boat on the hard in a dodgy Luperon boatyard in 90 degree heat and humidity. He;s a whiny little hippy who needs to learn the term 'steady job'. The world needs ditch diggers too, you know.

How 'bout this guy? Who needs money or a survey when ya got a gold chain and some game?
At least worth watching for 2 minutes to see the first boat he looks at.

So, "No Loan, No Problem"? Here is a prediction: "Friend" will never get his money back.
Always with the negative waves, Moriarty. Once the blonde takes her tshirt off and that sweet Youtube money starts rolling in (some people make over $100 a month) he'll have that paid back with interest.
I could smell that boat through the computer monitor. I've never seen a steering quadrant rusted completely off - they must have spilled nitric acid on it.

In bikinis?
These have been popping up in my feed recently and I'm quite enjoying them.
So far there is a girl sailing and a Patreon account (which I've not heard them mention) but they spend most of their time in very cold places.
They are in a ridiculously epic boat which they operate professionally but the boat has been sold to Greenpeace.
They are also extremely skilled and a quick Google of their sailing resumes is fairly eye opening.
Unfortunately there is a baby on the way but they have also purchased their own steel boat boat with the intention of focussing more on Youtube and spending time exploring cold places.

This NEVER gets EASIER: S/V Delos suffers the TRAUMA ...
... of finishing a low-key circumnav, hanging out in lovely Puerto Vallarta, montaging a vid of self- and other- congratulation, saying goodbye to similarly entitled vlogger crew.... The freezing hungry people of Kherson weep with you.
(Sorry, that teaser line/thumbnail/actual content dissonance just peed in my Wheaties for some reason this morning.)

Roger Barnes has a new one and it's well done. Not much sailing but a real sense of the toil of dinghy cruising.
For all it's lightness, there is a lot of putting together and tearing down required in dinghy cruising that isn't needed with a 'large' coastal cruising sailboat. There is something to be said for the 'house' on a sailboat.
Roger is a very politically involved UK ex-pat on his social media (but not Youtube, usually), especially involving Brexit. Living in France, his perspective is interesting.
He lost a few Youtubers on this one as he chats a bit about climate change science. Thankfully, deniers are few in his subscriber group, and most praised his courage. You can read a few of these complaints in his comments on Youtube.
Reminds me of Dylan's public media problems when he badmouthed a now, ex-president.

Hey Diarmuid, I think you need to REALISE that ADULTING is REALLY HARD!
A bizarre thing about a lot of people under 40 is this babyish broadcasting of every emotion they have - as if it were a crazy novel experience to feel happy, sad, etc. Is it that people don't read novels any more? "Main Character Syndrome"?
...
Roger Barnes is great - his book on dinghy cruising is worth a read.
Unfortunately, it's not just those under 40. Facebook and Youtube (and other platforms) have enabled a whole slew of people of every age who feel obliged to over-share every aspect of their lives.
As in inherently private person, I don't get that.

I dry sailed a traiiler sailer for a while - loading up, towing, raising mast, launching killed half a day before I even got on the water
launching was fairly simple - recovering a one tonne boat was a bloomin challenge. I lost a trailer wheel on the motorway - that was blooming frighteing
as for the rude bastards on the web...
It was not only the Trumpists who came after me with death threats - the Cybernats (digitally active and angry scottish Nationalists) also came out gunning for me - I had the temerity to suggest that the clearances were mainly due to their own clan chiefs clearing clansmen off the hills because sheep made good money and tenant peasants made them no money
I also pointed out in one film that scotland invaded england many times over and slaughterted a lot of innocent english men, women and children
. The real history did not square with their own deeply held and politically convenient sense of victimhood.
I had to clear out a lot of the insane vituperation that got plastered all over my media feeds - some really, really unhinged things were written about me.
water under the bridge now.

It’s just a “human thing” for some folks to share their inner thoughts, demons, joys, questions, etc. etc. This below barely scratches the surface of the surface. Huge genre. (Not sure why the first vid is listed as age-restricted - it’s a few people in a sort of news program/doco publicly sharing their experience obtaining and doing heroin somewhere in the US Midwest.)
Centuries ago, of course, in the 1600s, Samuel Pepys famously started journaling his most private thoughts and public observations, and it makes for fascinating reading: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/4200/4200-h/4200-h.htm
But, yeah, not for me either
(Stretching the discussion a bit, think of Ishmael, Melville’s famous narrator of Moby Dick who, while a fictional character, pours out his [and Melville’s too?] mind on to the page —excruciating page after excruciating page that just goes on and on with rants, soliloquies, self-reflections, etc etc
And why, when we read “Crime and Punishment”, are we inexorably drawn deeper into Raskalnikov’s guilt-tortured mind after the murder he commits...it’s not his words, it’s a third-person narrator, yet we can’t help but want to know what’s spiralling through his tortured mind and soul...)

I hate to always be the wet blanket, but this level of neediness only seems to exist on Youtube Sailing. I've found tons of professional talented Youtubers in travel, art, boats, cooking, architecture, you name it. These people do the hard work of research, have the skills, can write and edit, it's good stuff.
I did a search on Youtube; cooking, and the world is your oyster. It takes a knack to weed out the phonies but it's easy to figure out.
Then I did Cooking on a sailboat, and this one came up on the first page. Are you serious?
Cooking ceviche? WTF?
