One of the great things about the internet is how easy it is to share our lives and experiences with others, whether through blog form like this, social media, or videos on YouTube (or Vimeo, or others). I’ve been watching a lot of these over the past few months and have even become a patron on Patreon for several as well. I’ll list the best ones I’ve found here for you to check out and enjoy.

s/v Delos Crew

Captain Brian Troutman has been one of my main inspirations for my ideas of how I’ll pursue my dreams (including a lot of the practical boring aspects like finances). He and his crew have been making videos of their travels for several years now, though they’ve been most active in the past two years and are really showing some production value. The s/v Delos is a 53′ ketch, fully equipped for world cruising.

White Spot Pirates / Untie the Lines

Nike and her sailboat, s/v Karl, have been through a lot of restoration in Panama, and the majority of her first forty videos are of all the work she has to do to restore Karl to a safe, working state. Nike does a lot of her sailing solo! Karl is a Reinke Super 10, a 37′ sloop.
