[@jonbarlow3542]

WOW!!! An absolutely enlightening and fascinating series, thank you.

[@daedster1]

That is a very supurb series of interviews - so much appreciate your filming these guys and my 1st love - the tri - this is a beaut!

[@markmahan6768]

A truly wonderful interview! John Barry's a very interesting fellow, so knowledgeable and well spoken. The interviewer is quite talented also, Drake! Loved all 5 episodes!

[@AndrewMoizer]

I was going to say exactly this, so I'll piggyback on this comment instead. Great series, and some really good insight and experience. A Chris White Atlantic 42 has been my dream boat since the design first came out. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get my act together to have one. I came to these videos from a comment from the Sailing Spirit channel who have recently bought this boat. Many thanks for putting this together.

[@helicart]

Just WOW.... smart questions.....smart+ guests. Really appreciated. Cheers from Brisbane Australia

[@Nerd3927]

Great series of interviews! You get so much knowledge out of people!

[@thomasfroumis8210]

Wholly fuck!!! What were odds running into that cat!! Amazing group of folks

[@stinkintoad]

I biked around Block Island this last July- took the high speed ferry from Newport. What a magical and beautiful island!

[@clayfarnet970]

Great interview 👍👍👍

[@captnb8036]

Most Excellent! Thank you for making this for us to see.

[@kriswaelput]

I am soooooooo jealous of these guys ! One day my wife will forbid me to watch your videos :-)

[@daedster1]

Much appreciate your series on Johns tri Drake, these guys are rock stars where they're sail the 'cruising' tri......

[@somerandomman178]

a great set of videos these were,they were great to watch

[@almath9987]

Thanks Drake that was an excellent 5 part interview 👏 playing catch up so a bit of binge watching and what could be better👍

[@davidnormandin5428]

Watch all five episodes again with a new respect for the tri hulls not outfitted as a floating lounge.

[@antton77]

Amazing work Drake ..When I,m alone i watch your video's in Peace ..I'm sorry i have not ever sent money to your trips ..But i will say i have watched all video from you Cap Drake thank you so much god bless fair sailing

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Beautiful series of interviews guys, thanks for filming and sharing. I wonder where Avalanche is now, do they have a blog? Andy UK

[@gkarjala]

I think Johns words on skipper/crew apply to any human endeaver. Replace Boss/subordinate/profit(or whatever the goal is) with skipper/crew/passage.Thx for this DP Crew

[@nauticfilms]

05:30 good simple advice, Cptn!

[@mattlewandowski73]

Avalanche instead ended back in California, and is presently listed for sale.

[@nauticfilms]

it will be hot in the Med, Cptn. , and boring sailingwise.On the other hand, culture, views, history: wow!

[@jpkalishek4586]

Got off work at exactly the right time.

[@drakeParagon]

Ah brilliant! Hope you enjoy the last of the interview/boat tour with John and crew. Cheers and have a lovely rest of your...evening? (✿◠‿◠) ⚓-Monique

@@drakeParagon was a pleasing watch and listen while eating supper, except for the pesky cat, but she's not your problem, she's mine

[@drakeParagon]

@@jpkalishek4586 Well that's adorable. What is your cats name? Drake really misses having a cat aboard and we sometimes talk about adopting one, but I just don't think it would work with all the countries we sail to. Don't want the poor thing to be stuck in quarantine. ⚓-Monique

[@jpkalishek4586]

@@drakeParagon Well Mo, I have 3. Annie The Insane (Animalus Insanius, a Tuxedo) who was demanding my dinner. Isabeau (Annie's sister from a litter a year later, Siamese pointed Tabby, like the father) And last but not least (well in years she is the least, she is 6 to the others 15 and 14) Allie Alvarado (small muted torty. she photos gray but has a lot of orange that hides from the lens). An Author friend immigrated to Austrailia and there his cats and dogs were quarantined for 6 months. His english sheep dog almost passed from depression until he mailed work shirts, unlaundered, to the kennel to be placed in the pen with him. The only folks I have seen cruising with critters seem to only stay in one area, like a Carib or US/Canadian waters.

[@133dave133]

Avalanche, is also Colorado's hockey team, hence the boat's name maybe? I never would of thought that your videos would have had people from a neighboring town, and people from a neighboring state to me.

[@bernardmichels8204]

I've been watching you guys oriental. Curious hows the auto pilot and how is the d400 wind gen. Thanks Safe travels

[@drakeParagon]

The CPT Autopilot is working like a champ! We just recently completed a boisterous sail to the Faroe Islands in lovely, but rather blustery, conditions and it steered us all the way. The D400 is also great. It recently got tested with some intense winds as the remnants of a tropical depression/hurricane moved through (I say depression, Drake says hurricane...we will agree to disagree) and it was kicking out some serious amps. It never got so gusty that we felt the D400 needed to be locked down and, in the year since it was installed, we're very happy with it. I think we're actually going to make another review video. Kind of a "Hey we've had this for a year and sailed 4,500+ miles and this is what we think" video. However, if you have specific questions we'd be happy to answer them. Cheers (✿◠‿◠) ⚓-Monique

[@antoinedescours2459]

Salut depuis la France. Bon vent !

[@drakeParagon]

Merci! Et salutations des îles Féroé! Beau vent à vous.(✿◠‿◠) ⚓-Monique

[@trailbarge12]

I hope you thought to hook Eanna up with those two outdoor education folks. This is what he studied, right?

[@nobody46820]

Keep 'em coming!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Pass the word make damn sure you get all your vaccinations and malaria pills done before you get to India. Be aware of the large amounts of stray dogs (that are a rabies concern) among many other threats. Yes, I know from whence I speak.

[@wpierce57]

Next Summer in the MED?... You know why they call it that? Motoring Every Day.

[@drakeParagon]

Ha, that's funny...I don't think I've heard that before. Of course, there is something called the Greenland high where a high pressure zone sits over the island which makes for lovely weather but little wind. We were warned to bring extra fuel as we might be motoring a bit more than expected, and we certainly found that to be the case at times. Good to see you Wayne and hope all is well! Cheers (✿◠‿◠) ⚓-Monique

[@wpierce57]

@@drakeParagon and Monique, I should also have added, I like your new format of live on Sunday's with the chat, unfortunately usually Rebecca and I watch it live (or later) on our 65" 4K tv... it looks great but I'm too cheap to buy a wireless keyboard that will talk to the TV so we can't join the chat! Fair winds, my friends.

[@prankishsquire2663]

I have consumed far too much Fat Tire, good brew!

[@svjobeth6256]

What makes good crew? Goes without saying, Mo and Eanna make good crew! Oh, and my wife. Definitely my wife. Fair winds!

[@jsvno]

The bare bone honest is that i am tiered of listening to this guy - he is a normal adventurer, nothing wrong with him. I subscribed to your channel because i want to look at sailing, fixing things and adventures i arctic areas....

[@drakeParagon]

Hey jan, doing interviews with fellow sailors and the people we meet along the way is a big part of our channel, and some people connect with certain interviews more than others. Who we meet up with seems to depend on circumstance but, I think quite luckily, it seems to run the gamut of the sailing community. We've chatted with 'Go Now, So Small' sailors such as Mads Bo Falk to super thrifty sailors like Martijn Dijkstra to circumnavigators (and fellow countryman?) Jan aboard his Hallberg-Rassy. John sails in a way that is very different from us, but we were honoured to get a glimpse into this world of high speed trimaran sailing. It may not be the way that we traverse the oceans of the world but, in the end, we are all sailors. Fair winds to you (✿◠‿◠) ⚓-Monique
