  • Season 5 - Episode 88 : Preparation and departure.
    Welcome to Season 5 of our channel !
    On this season we take you along with us on a yacht delivery we were hired to do helping take a 74ft power yacht from Seattle, Washington to Los Angeles, California. We are calling these "Yacht Delivery Chronicles" a series we will continue to make with future deliveries. This will give people a rare insight into what goes into a Yacht Delivery, both good and bad.
    Our fearless leader (and old friend) Captain Dave Stovall was at the command ( / captaindavestovall ) and the three of us had a wild ride.
    There was an "Engineer" on board for the first week or so but the crew had a lot of conflict with him later on so we won't really focus on him.
    On this first episode of the our new series we prepare the boat before departing on Seattles Lake Union and making our way through the Ballard Locks then on out into Puget Sound.
    So give the episode a watch and see how things unfold.

    If I may offer an advice about how you handle the camera, when you pan (going left to right or the other way) try to plan ahead what you want to show and then, move the camera s-l-o-w-l-y in only one direction. It will greatly improve the quality of your videos. Have a look at the TH-cam channel "Life is like sailing" for a good example of quality videos. Thank you for your interesting videos, specialy those documenting the improvements you do on your sailboat.

    Try slowing down your panning. You go by some interesting places and things too fast.

    At 14 mins in, so disregard if you answer in the video boss. But do you think or feel this could be a viable way for a fellow to make money while cruising with a family?
    I mean in order to pay the bills, food, maintenance etc.. you think it could be done? My wife and I are not minimalist, but we are not extravagant either. Kinda middle of the road.

      If you have a Captains license and are hired as a captain you are paid much more than the crew so it would be possible to make a living doing this,,, IF you had a few yacht brokers that hired you regularly. The main issue is there is a lot of competition for this work depending on the region or there just aren't a lot of deliveries to be had, also depending on the region. For instance if someone lives in Florida there is so much boat traffic up and down the east coast and in the Caribbean that it might be possible to stay busy as a delivery captain but again you would need a network to keep it steady.

      Not sure how she ended up in the PNW. But at some point someone did a bad remodel on her. The layout in the original plans we found on board was so much better.

    Enjoy your video however, you tend to pan way too fast making ti uncomfortable to view. Slow it down so viewers can see what you are trying to show. Give us a chance to also enjoy the views.Thank you. Fair Winds.

    • @SailorJames
      @SailorJames  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The engines were brand new when installed and there was a guy who did preventive maintenance on the engines and ran them ever so often so they were in good shape but we did have an engine alarm that went off for like 14 days straight.

    If I saw right, it was 3,7 something/gallon for the diesel. That's pretty much $1 Liter?? If so, it exactly half the price we pay in Norway.
