Goodbye Yacht Arience | 325 Days As Crew

[@jaredwatney]

I understand that was all a lot to take in. Let me clarify. Yacht Arience does not have the cabin capacity for crew to have someone on board as a full time creator. The boat needs 16 full time crew and there is only space for 16 full time crew. I am leaving Arience and will no longer live onboard the vessel and will be replaced. However, I will return for content worthy events. Crossing the Atlantic / new toys being delivered / prep for guest trips / new cruising grounds etc. The vessel wants to maintain its social media presence and I am the one that will help them do that. That being said. Over the last year, deck work has been my main position. That is now changing. I will be going on board a HUGE range of yachts around the world to create similar style content as what I did on Arience but now with the focus of creating content and showing you a lot more than what I had the time for on Arience. Trying to do deck work and content work took its toll. Out of passion, I would prefer to grow this channel rather than only focusing on deck work. Whilst you may be a bit sad now, this will only benefit you more as I show you a far greater insight into a HUGE range of yachts. 1 - 2 videos a month for me was not good enough, id like to make Arience style videos 3 times a week for you and remaining onboard Arience, along with my back was not going to allow that to happen. That is why I am no longer onboard. With that in mind, perhaps watch the video again. Thanks for caring.

Jared Watney We’re here to support you, Jared! More videos is always a plus, I’ve lately been obsessed with your videos so I’m not complaining, aha! Take care of yourself, hope you recover amazing! Give my love to Becs!

[@YachtBuoy]

Good move, shipmate :-) 'we' (your subscribers) have been missing your content so it is great that not only will you be producing more, but also that you are going to give us an insight into other yachts as well. You have found your calling as a content creator for the yachting industry. Your deckhand role was always only going to be a 'stepping-stone' because you have a genuine talent when it comes to content creation. Those of us who have been following your channel for a long time, know and understand why you have followed your dreams. Fairwinds :-)

[@deanflet973]

Hi Jared are you using a Tens unit? The reason I'm asking is because I've been using one or 2 different types of Tens Units to help with my spine and lower back from an accident that nearly paralyzed me. If so get well soon I do enjoy your video content and hope to see more of your videos. Get well soon Jared can't wait to see what is coming next in the near future.✌😎🤙

[@bgd73]

you do great work, the modern touch in the videography. It is why I subscribed.. best of luck to you

It’s been great following on Yacht Arience this last year. We’re all excited to see your next KZbin adventure in the coming year. Best of luck. 😇🙏

[@mikeboldrick837]

Jared; Well done!! You are a class act through and through! You have something that many others who try to do this lack- Honesty and believability on camera. You never talk down to or about anybody and that comes across in your videos. I would imagine that you treat the lowest ranking person with the same respect as the Captain! While this may be tough right now, everything happens for a reason. You are meant to do something even bigger. thanks for sharing with us!

[@xxchaotikzxx]

I'm 35 yrs old and have had issue with my back since I was 25. It first stared out with a bulged disc at L4 with pinched nerve which then turned into a bulge/herniated disc and pinced nerves at L4/L5/S1. This is a typical occurrence due to the fact your discs below injury are trying to pick up slack. I've had multiple surgeries including spinal fusions, laminectomy, discsecetomy and bone grafts during the past 10 years with my most recent one seeming to have finally "fingers crossed" at least fix my sciatica. My best tip I could give is to stretch every single day and due non stress workouts to help build your core to support your back better. Life with back pain will definitely slow you down and make you adjust your life style but there's nothing you can't do as long as you stay positive and work towards your goal of getting as close as possible back to normalcy. Hope you get relief and feel better, best of luck in your future endeavors!

[@theartist124]

Wow, sorry about your back, and even though you've left Arience, we're not leaving you mate! Cheers & Congrat's on a new frontier waiting for you!

[@Donald_Shaw]

I've followed you for a longtime Jared and have enjoyed every video you've produced. I wish you the best recovering from your back injury. You're unstoppable and I look forward to more videos you post. Take care and stay well.

[@neilk.astrophotography7590]

The imagination in story telling thru your superb cinematography & editing is an inspiration to all .Thank you & GL Sir!

[@liamlarby5299]

Jared, I’ve followed your channel for a long time and I’ve been really impressed with your content and production skills.... wishing you every success for the future!!

[@utubelvrNYC]

Bittersweet. Continue to heal and look forward to seeing your future projects! Be well

[@bendoy4555]

I’m sure it can’t be easy for you - but good luck and I hope you’re all better soon!

[@peterrichold9045]

What an emotional video, all the best Jared. Be safe coming to you both all the way from Bermuda.

[@stephenmkatzasc]

Jared, I’ve enjoyed watching you discover your talent. A door closes and you find yourself opening a new door to new heights. I know you will do well. You will heal and be off and running. Great opportunities lie ahead of you. You are young, the world is yours, follow your heart and your passion. Looking forward to seeing what lies ahead in Jared’s world. Bon Courage

[@craigv3438]

Jared, life works in mysterious ways, it is so inspiring and fascinating watching your experience of being a "deckie". Im sure we are all looking forward to what your next chapter is, and certainly the prospect of seeing more of your fantastic videography and adventures. Top shelf stuff, good luck for your future!!!!!

[@josephferrer698]

It's good to see you follow your heart. I'm looking forward to your future videos, until then, fair winds and following seas...

[@paulquigley6473]

Sad, but excited for what comes next onwards and upwards Jared. It's going to be good.

[@bobuncle8704]

Big change is always an emotional time. I myself have been dealing with a back issue for over 15 years now. You can not take it for granted. I wish you the best and do so look forward to your content. It allows me to see into a world that I will never be able to experience, and it lifts my spirits to be able to experience these things through the lens of your talent for creating amazing content. I am anxiously anticipating the new content. Best lof luck.

[@glorianelson3253]

Jared, so excited for this next chapter of your videos you produce. I trust this is also one of this scenarios Capt. Dean talked about when losing not one, but two crew with a couple. You and Becca are both off to a bright future....her artistic talents are crazy good too! I hope we can one day meet when you perhaps get to experience Walt Disney World...then you're in one of my areas of expertise! God bless you and I'll be watching....stay well!

[@NJAMdj]

I really hope this all works out for you and your back gets the rest it needs. I found your channel in one of those KZbin rabbit holes you get into when you are passing time and am so glad I did. I love your content and was gutted to hear you lost your gear and you wouldn’t be able to produce quality content for a few weeks. I never knew anything about the yachting world but this channel has opened it up. It’s inspiring in so many ways. Keep up the good work and I look forward to what comes next!

[@johnfrank6112]

Best wishes, on your recovery, and onward and upward. You'll do just find it's just a different path. I'll be waiting for new material and, until then, I'll leave you and Becky this old Irish travel blessing. May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. Good luck.

[@paulw7404]

Just found your blog - awesome, awesome content. As coming out the other side of a L3-L4 surgery back on the 03/03/2020 (very similar to your injury) - there is light at the end of the tunnel, and back at work (first responder) . The only regret is that I didn't find your channel while recovering! Looking forward in watching all your eps in the near future.

[@matjazmihevc1170]

I wish you a quick recovery and a return to the crew of the yacht Arience.

[@JoeKyser]

I had a similar injury at the age of 26. I thought I was better because the pain was not as much. I ending up breaking the vertebrae collar later on. Im 41 now and just wish I had taken it easy after my injury. I thought I was indestructible and unstoppable. You only get one back. Be careful from here on out.

[@CptDangernoodle]

You're lucky you have understanding officers who let you film onboard. I got a bollocking for flying my drone when we were visiting some uninhabited islands in Myanmar WHILE THE GUESTS WERE OFF. So frustrating to visit nice places and not be able to film

Really hope everything works out, enjoy your content and will carry on to do so ! All the best

[@rockysouthflorida1707]

Amazing Journey, Amazing Adventure! Thanks for taking the KZbins along for the ride! Great Job elevating the brand of MY Arience! You have made her a house hold name all around the world showing her off in a variety of cinematic "paint brushes" that I am sure her owners and the captain never expected! So now on to the next chapter! Get well! Take it easy! Work on the edit chops.. Spend some time in the pool! Best PT you can do to rehab the hurt back! Stay Safe down in SA! And wash those dam hands! Cheers from Hollywood South the ATL in the USA! o,o

[@doggies.will.be.doggies]

You'll be fine Jared! At this point, there is no denying that your added value for Arience (or any other boat) in terms of marketing is wayyyyyyy higher than that of a deck hand.

[@philipnorrman9932]

As you know I've been following ur channel for a long time now! I wish you all the best Jared! And keep the content coming! Never stop!

Been watching your videos for a long time and only just realized that i hadnt subbed. Good to see YT didnt nurf your content from my feed.

One of the best work crew spirits I’ve seen! Awesome stuff for yacht arience. Awesome stuff Jared!

[@simoncousin3241]

All the best ,sometimes a injury makes you look at things and then things move forward ,I had a back operation and all went well you can not explain to someone what the pain is like ,I had some nerve damage but nothing to moan about .Now i can lift what i wish to ,look forward to seeing new content obviously when the lock down has finished .This year will be a different year for crew/yachts

[@jamiekaystardew]

You rock Jared. Hope you have a speedy recovery!!! Looking forward to seeing you again.

[@hylighter9277]

Jared, I have stumbled upon your channel due to youtubes ridiculous algorithm and have loved every minute of it! I'm two years out from completing an engineering degree and am wondering what it would take to get involved and connected in such an awesome industry!

[@jjdebruyne]

I have the same issue L5-S1 disc. From lifting and twisting at the same time. I was in agony for 12 months. I have had 3 epidurals which have been fantastic although I have had to be so so careful for the last 15 years. I can no longer do what I used to do. I spent a month on my belly pushing up to stretch my back and push the disc back in. I could have had an operation but was warned not to as it cannot be undone. Exercise will sort it. Be careful Jared lifting. Time will heal

[@akeemhuggins4973]

All the best and trust the process of your recovery

[@maarten9844]

I haven't been around for very long but the content is amazing! Wishing you a quick recovery!

[@listay1]

I cannot wait to see what producer Jared creates! This is a freaking amazing opportunity. I hope your back is healing and that your recovery is possible.

[@lonistewart3405]

Take care of your back. I injured mine in January and have been in recovery ever since. I think its ok, do something and it gets injured again!

[@jamesedwards8049]

Wishing you all the best.

[@MrOso36]

Really feel for you Jared. I had a blown disc (L4/L5) which ultimately required surgery. My best advice to you is to lay off the running for. while. The pounding on the spine is very hard. What helped me was a little yoga, some specific back stretches and rest. To get your cardio I suggest brisk walk on a treadmill. The machines usually provide some shock built in absorption . Most importantly don't get discouraged. It takes some time but fortunately you're young and have the ability to bounce back. Best of luck.

[@jonathancuesta3]

Best of luck with everything you do in the future! You are an amazing creator who has the skills to take it very far. Hope everything works out for you bro! :D

[@donaldward6]

Get well soon Jared I love watching your videos.

[@Toffie10]

Jared, quite understandable. It is sad. You were so proud of Arience, but there is a time to go. Sterkte with your new adventures. I'm looking forward to see where you are dwelling around and I beleive that your nev vlogs will also be very interesting. Keep us updated, My Friend! Soutie! Lmao!

[@ThibauTM]

Every end, as sad as it can be, is a new start ! When i'm low on energy/motivation I often go back and watch the video where you explained you were starting on Arience. I wish you all the best for the rest, and hope to see your very contagious energy back on futur content pieces all over the internet. Cheers !

Howzit Jared,I’m 17 years old and about 9 months ago I found out I have the same injury.Prolapsed disc on L4/5 pushing on the nerve.I live in joburg and the best advice I can give you to recover from this injury is rest.I am almost pain free.

[@MargaretLeber]

Congrats on your new direction...and certainly with spinal injuries working as a deck hand is not the the best use of your abilities and talents. Your content is of awesome quality and I've enhjoyed it immensely. And I gotta say: pulling your talk with the Captain down into an inset over B-roll to reduce the impact of the manual focus faux-pas was a wizard move.

[@donmorelock4054]

Back injuries are serious. My first doctor wouldn't even order an xray. I suffered for years. My most recent doctor listened. The surgeon she sent me to listened.
