Hello all new viewers of our channel. I apologize for the audio quality of these fist few videos. Our audio mixing was a bit barbaric for the first few episodes so if you like the vibe of these videos but the sound is driving you nuts, please follow this link kzbin.info/www/bejne/ranFh5uMl6-Kh9E and skip to EP.7. You will pick us up right as we depart the US south and the audio is much better and continues to get better the more we edited. Cheers, Jon

Buffalo's Milk Cocktail Recipe. Fill an old-fashioned glass with ice cubes. Add the vodka, Kahlua coffee liqueur, creme de bananes and creme de cacao. Add milk until glass is full. Have been watching your videos from Ep.1. Great camera work.

There is a beach along the south shore of Catalina that is popular with the locals but most people don't know about. Its about half way from the isthmus to Avalon, and they may have expanded it since I was there 25 yrs ago. I have also seen a lot of sailboats anchored in the coves along the north shore.

Hi guys, for sure, great vids and yes, like other's doing as you are, I reckon putting up a Patreon page would be a great plan. I am already supporting a number of crew doing as you are, given I can't yet untie the lines. The only way to enjoy such adventures is through people such as yourselves etc doing what I would love to. Thankyou for I am getting to see some incredible places, let alone enjoying simply the oceans and skies. Your filming and editing work, for me is really excellent. Fair winds and smooth seas, cheers Dave

[@SailingVesselPrism]

Im in a beautiful setting .. drizzle scrambling across Tug's roof,candles lighting my shelf building afternoon.. your amazing series of stories blending in rich. Thanks bunch ! I'll add my 2 cents,to say, yep,the music selection is a bit off .. doesn't gracefully blend with either dialog or scenes.. but I know music is a tough call, for it's art and all of aren't going to have the same reaction.. You might look at classical guitar selections... that can be a cool blend.. Both of you rock me with your ongoing humor,your bright personalities,and knowledge of your rock'n yacht . When you were living in the NW did you meet the owner/cruisers of Emerald Steel. Jules and his darling wife ( forgive me her name slips my peabrain . Together she and Jules,baled from busy lives in LA.. learned to weld,worked hard to build their steel yacht,Emerald Steel.. then produced 40 years of documenting sailing the vast Pacific. They are my no.1 blog ~ I'm beginning to think you will be my 2nd

Thought I’d drop you a note read a blog said you’ve put $300k into the boat. I don’t think so but you did an amazing restore how much are you in. Maybe a breakdown thanks 🙏🏻 I’ve had many a buffalo milk.

[@chrisbest4449]

So I must ask you, What makes you guys fly the "Don't give up the ship" quote from James Lawrence? I live in Erie PA where the USS Niagara has been restored and now sits. You can that flag on almost every other boat in our lake. I find it awesome you are flying this iconic flag.

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+Chris best Thanks for commenting on the flag! The true story behind the flag was it was my dads flag in his "boat things" box. When he passed away my mom gave me the box because I am the boat guy in the family now. It was one of the few things that I could use on Prism. We fly it in memory of my dad. Also its is a cool flag like you said. Update to now the flag has had an honorable life and now only about a third is left reading "don...th..." but it got to live my dads dream of cruising so it was worth it. With that sail I would love to keep the tradition going. Any great flag company you can recommend up there that make the flag but heavy duty I would love to replace our current. Cheers, Jon

[@russelljcole]

I have sailed for 40 years, and made many crossing to Catalina, in a variety of boats. I'd sail with you. You might think I look like a yachtie at first, but no, not really. You have inspired me to take my friend Yon down on the frisbee golf course at Two Harbors. He's going down. I'm not braggin', I'm just saying. By the way, I know who built your boat, and I know why. Regards, Russ Cole

[@SuperRajack]

the music is TOO loud. great videos, just please turn the music down

[@chrisbest4449]

Hey sorry I took so long to reply. I've been looking into new flag but since it's snow country season most of the shops are frozen shut. But hold on I'll get you one... It will be my pleasure

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+Chris best Thanks Chris! I am going post you what is left of it soon!

[@sailingcruiser25]

You're putting out a lot of videos. You must be editing 24/7. Nicely done again.

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+David Duncan We are busting them out before we get back to Mexico! Once there things will slow down tremendously I feel.

[@sailingcruiser25]

+Sailing Vessel Prism don't do that! I need something to get me through the winter.

[@SailingVesselPrism]

Well if we can get the patreon page off the ground like other sailors have managed we can then hire someone states side to keep the editing going. Shooting and doing media management on the boat is enough of a job already. Don't think I could juggle editing as well out there, at least not at this rate. Cheers

[@mackthomas3722]

Great vid, but that music track that is looped throughout your videos gets REALLY annoying. Looks like a lot of fun!

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+Mack Thomas Nothing was looped, you are hearing the limitations of free music. We will keep that in mind.

[@sailingcruiser25]

+Sailing Vessel Prism I thought the music is great. didn't even notice if it was looped.

[@axelv1753]

Such great music in this vid. Could you post what it is?

[@SailingVesselPrism]

+Axel V it is pricey! Premiumbeat.com, audiojungle.com

[@sailingddcircumnavigation5931]

You have to lower your music 🎶. Can't hear anything you're saying.

[@clydecessna737]

Don't have a buffalo burger. Make you nauseous for hours.

[@NeonsStyleHD]

That music is just annoying. The same thing over n over n over n over, the same chords repeating. Please, KZbin library has heaps of music, all your vids use the same song and it's monotonous and really gets to you. Some shots like high energy shots it works, but after awhile it just drives you nuts. In the end had to close the vid cause I was sick of it.
