[@edwardknight3284]

You guys work well together, nice to see the captain get his hands a bit dirty today.

[@UnfoundTravel]

You and Slav do a lot of work on the boat, slowly starting to realise this over a period of time time. Great team work

[@Fig330]

Yeah, that Slav fella is an awesome asset. Very knowledgeable, quick to react and great communication. Top bloke. #teamslav

[@johngoldthorpe1226]

Enjoy your videos and how you commicate with the crew and giving Jason the knowledge to go further in his career. My son started as a chef on a boat and is now first mate /engineer on the same boat .

[@TakeNoneForTheTeam]

Can you talk about the typical conversations between the captain and guests during a week? They arrive, they ask about your recommendations maybe, you ask them about their "style" of relaxing, when they like drinks, do they like coffee/tea or whiskeys and cigars, do they ask you about your channel, do they ask about... I mean what do they ask? I wouldn't be able to enjoy a week aboard because all I'd want to do is find out what you guys do because it's so far outside my comprehension to have a vacation like this. Thanks Captain!!!

[@jossmaxwell00]

Smooth operation guys. Nice to see how it's done.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Thanks Tristan. We had a harrowing night trying to anchor last night. High winds, grass bottom and a sketchy windlass. Great to see a calm and professional crew do their thing. Also great to see the captain wear his pfd. Sends a very positive message. Carry on.

[@panosp94]

Captain! Big fan of your Vlog! HOWEVER - a small observation, with respect to your comment about the approaching vessel. I'm all for seamanship - being Greek LOL - yet, one has to acknowledge that its not always clear to the eye, if a chain is moving up or down or being static. so its possible he didnt see - yet he SHOULD have kept an eye on the overall movement of your vessel ! Not a defense - just an explanation . I also didnt see on the video how close he had come, so my comment may not be fully qualified; cheers mate and keep up the good work.

[@rudideghelt]

a real pleasure to watch, to learn, to appreciate.

[@mmanut]

Great Job Captain, you have a very solid crew‼️ ENJOY YOUR CHANNEL,showing the daily tasks are interesting and entertaining. Please keep showing, I know many enjoy as do I. THANK YOU & STAY SAFE CAPTAIN 👨‍✈️⛴ Vinny 🇺🇸

[@steinarsrem9854]

Great attitude on board. Well communicated. A tip is to always use glows while working with towing lines. Experience from SAR.

[@NoGoodHandlesComingToMind]

It's nice to know us Jasons have representation onboard M/Y AWOL.

[@markkolenc4833]

Pleasure to watch the team. Everyone has a task to perform and they are all synchronized. Well done.

[@BigDThatsMe]

Excellent video! Personally I was never a big fan of sail boats, especially monohull. Catamarans seem pretty solid and able to handle blue water pretty well, but personally I like the motor Yachats. As for me, and what my father always taught me was always stay clear of any boat setting or recovering anchor. Just stay clear altogether. A little common sense and courtesy goes a long way.

[@Fig330]

Always be aware of the Bora in those little creeks. (Be aware of the Bora anywhere around there, but especially in those little creeks). Know when to expect it and which direction it's going to come from. Have a plan, you will have little warning. 👍

[@markmatthews1569]

Tristan its great to see your face light up now you are back doing what you do BEST

[@richardsheldon7473]

Tristram awesome vlog,you guys true professionals,all looking cool,have a great weekend, Chow,

[@MIDTOWNE1]

You and bullet have to be the hardest working duo in the luxury yacht business.

Great to watch these activities, learning a lot.

[@daniellauper8115]

Nice to see you working like a decksman. Great seamanship. 👍👍👍

[@michaelcollins6851]

Thank you for your time and all your hard work

[@chunkychinn]

Lovely blog Tristan. Beautiful place. Thankyou.

[@flashash64]

Great Vlog, certainly compliments the previous Vlog, as always good Team Work.

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

Thank you 😊

[@googlevoicer]

Cool video... Two Thumbs UP... 👍👍

[@timessix8434]

Nice video, thanks! Why do you not tilt up the engines on the chase boat before towing? It would substantially decrease the resistance and is done in like 15s.

[@CAUSELESSREBEL]

As always, most informative and well done video. The weather there can change quickly. Hvar is nice. Look forward to your next installment of Captain's Vlog. ( Commodore's Vlog?)

[@buemadsen7686]

Hi Your anchor chain is twisted 1/4 turn. It wears on the capillary wheel. Always great to see your KZbin.

[@tubehound8]

Thank you MYAWOL. Stay afloat safely.

[@angeladonovan7480]

Impressive team work guys. X

[@blazorgal]

Great video Tristan but I was wondering why you called that sailer an idiot for going infront of you? You still had the ball up for being anchored and the sailer might not know if you had lines still tied to the shore.. Wouldn't it be wiser for him to go around the front?

[@highkicker11]

Well i would think the sailing vessel under power could see awol drifting closer to one side of the shore and the space getting smaller and smaller while the other would be getiing bigger and bigger. I would pick the biggest gap for sure.

[@blazorgal]

@@willemteale5020 thanks for replying.. its just hard to tell from the video of distance plus the water look shallow behind awol and the keel on the sailboat might have been long in depth.. just wandering if the sailer assumed the distance to be safer to go around the front as the water seemed much deeper there.

[@TB-zf7we]

Love the Dalmatian coast.

[@khufu8699]

Love the disdain for the sailers. Would like to see up-close sometime the setup as it actually goes around the rock and hooks to the line. ty

[@taxalterror]

Good Captain, I would feel safe.

[@jamesnbd57]

Admire your seamanship enormously and I’ve learned a lot from you for my own boating, but unfair criticism of the yacht. Maybe it was luck but maybe he was as good a seaman as you are and judged the situation, speed and distance well. Just because captains are in private rather than commercial vessels doesn’t automatically mean they lack skill and experience.

[@stevenzobel4517]

Thay are like a well oiled machine. My guess is that is why they have the Awards to show how well they work together

[@allsearpw3829]

A great team effort as always

[@GrantGrove]

Funny... Gazillion dollar boat and you still have to knock down the anchor chain in the well. Same as on my Manta 42. Someday we'll have "smart chains".

[@peterherd5982]

Dont need smart cable,just a self stowing cable locker.

[@GrantGrove]

@@peterherd5982 We had a very sloped self stow anchor locker and it still would stack and required a frequent knock down. Seems to be the nature of the beast.

[@robertfrost1683]

Great video ~ do you guys use chafing gear to protect lines from fraying ? The connection from the chase boat to the tow line looks like it needs some he;p.

[@dafrasier1]

Who has the right of way? sail boat passing in front. You have the chase boat behind you. maybe blocking that space. Should you stop recovering anchor? Do you fly a Flag for anchor recovery?

[@highkicker11]

The sailboat was under power and as such it was only a sail boat by design, legaly when you turn on your engine you become a powered vessel and you give way to sailboats under sail and boats that are limited in maneuverability or that are simply bigger then you. Btw being at anchor or when setting or raising anchor you fall under the limited category. Also all boats give have to give way to limited crafts even sailboats under sail. O and btw i am a sailing sailor when i can.

[@matteopelizza3236]

Com'on Captain, the sail boat had a lot of water and time to pass. Please........

[@seatravel8536]

Great video. Was that a soft shackle setup on the chase boat side of the tow? Do you have set limits on sea state when hooking the tow up vs driving the chase boat instead? Really like that tow setup. How quickly do you get chaffing with that setup?

[@bnkwupt]

This may be the first video I’ve seen in which I can hear AWOL’s engines running.

[@raffegaloustian5306]

On the next vblog could you please explain a bit more for us who are not in the know. For example why are you pulling another vessel behind you? How is the other vessel going to stop and not hit the yacht?

[@highkicker11]

Tristan while i agree that the sailboat under power was a idiot, you do know that you could have stopped the winch. After all the colregs do say that you as the captain will have to do all you can to stop a collision from happening even if the other boat doesn't. But again yeah i was shaking my head no about the fool at the helm of that sailboat.

[@fountainvalley100]

Almost seems like raising the anchor is a three person task. One to flake the chain, one to operate the windless, and one to look overboard at the anchor. The windless operator needs to focus on the person flaking chain since that person is working next to unguarded machinery.

[@cranck07]

Nice video! Been a while since you where on anchor duty, right? ("Turning the remote on" - clearly hitting the emergency stop)

[@CMan-rt9in]

I will keep a look out for you on the Hvar live cam. Dana, Sussex, New Brunswick, Canada.

[@82ndmoosey]

Looks like they are at anchor in Lastovsko now, south of Hvar.

[@SeanLXIV]

Hi Tristan. 2 questions: how deep was the bay where you were anchored. And what are the two square hatches on the bridge front, centre of the ship under the windows?

[@Wenchework]

Jason is learning fast but then agen he got great teachers

[@robertfrederick9061]

WOW Tristan, you need some gym time if turning the anchor chain wheel lock & attaching the claw get you so winded BUT maybe you just be doing this for the video & you not used to the physical side of the job.

[@eugeniusro]

During the night you use diamond shape light to signal that you have a chase boat in the back ?

[@dustinsomero2249]

There's the captain of the Chase boat get to come aboard AWOL when I Chase boot is being Toad keep up the good work that you and your crew dose on board the boat in joy all of your videos keep safe on the open waters may the man upstairs keep his hands over the boat and your crew as well

[@fixitguy3475]

Interested in hearing the answer.

[@murraymcgee7491]

Hello SYC, Love watching the videos, but noticed the Devils Claw retaining device leaves a lot of exposed bolt sticking up. I s this a hazard to the crew and guests? Also perhaps a foot control would allow you to be hands free for other tasks? Cheers

[@patrickdejong3213]

Great video, however, you leave the anchor winch in gear? You can't drop it then immediately in case of an emergency.

[@robertfrederick9061]

Tristan, your videos have improved as time goes on but you need to get a microphone(mike) that will follow your mouth as you turn your head. I do not know what kind/type of mike that is available but I'm sure they exist at a decent price point. Have a blessed day, bob

[@garyprewitt3688]

Hi Tristan, have you seen a channel called Boating Beyond, they are a young couple living aboard a rusty old narrowboat called ...AWOL 🤣🤣

[@perkristianholmetun2192]

Hi. Great videos, really love to watch you guys in action. But I got two requests, please get a gimbal and a mic for the camera. That would really elevate the videos.

[@ab-fc5wd]

Hi, after I see last year your review of Axopar , I bought Axopar37 , thank you very much , best chase boat ever .... which towing point you use on the Axopar? , I saw you build left and right something , could you please tell me the brand ? Also I want to know which mooring whips you would recommend , our boat is an Jongert 34? Thank for help Antoine

[@larryedge7827]

So you made a statement about not going in reverse until the ship was under 4 knots, can you explain why? I only sail and its no where as big as the mighty Awal... thanks and I love your Vlog.

[@LastLoopBRM]

hi Cap! may i give you a little advise? that screw tip of the Devil´s Claw stay in an extremely dangerous position. May hurt you, the crew or any guest. You must think about a apermanet solution for that. Just for a quick and easy solution I recommend that you pick up a tennis ball (making a hole on it) and put it at the end, just as we usually do when using C-Stands in film sets. Why tennis ball, well, its hard rubber, the color pops up to the eye, and it is at hand (cheep). For example serch "Ep 33: C-Stands" on the YT search, and go to 6:07 minute. Have a nice sea and stay posting the odisea of AWOL. cheers !!!

[@billblake9752]

was AWOL sold in 2019 as saw it up for sale and reduced in price , just wondering if it was as all the same crew and what i thought is the same owner

[@christophwurtele9313]

An other great video I love!

[@pettermyris3462]

Thats what I is often do here in Norway in the south

[@terrygoddard3491]

hi T my question is .. ALWAYS WONDERED WHY YOU HAVE SUCH A LONG LINE TOWING THE CHACE BOAT....I guess theres a reason but i havent figured it out.......oh and Well done passing your large vessel exams..

[@MrRcarney2010]

is chasing awol manned while being towed ? if not what would happen in the unfortunate event the tow line snaps ? I seen some fraying on the video (chase boat side) this sparked my question

[@ronaldharmon9891]

ADMIRAL Triston :)

[@linopacheco9124]

If you were anchored alone at the bay, why did you need to hang the fenders? Free up space?

[@michaelbayliss1794]

For the chase boat , to dock next to AWOL .

[@paulohm1397]

Just another awesome video 👍...just have a question about the chance of getting a week on AWOL. Is the fuel included or must the winner pay the fuel for the week??

[@jakemeltzer9390]

isn't there a deck crew to handle some of the work? Nice video

[@iyadabdelnour6713]

How do you help keeping boats coming between the yacht and the chase boat and hitting the tow line ?

[@Baranoeda]

How do you connect the lines to land? Are there fixed rings, or around a stone or around a tree?

[@dennishuff4027]

Great Video

[@TheGilbert48197]

Could you show one day, what you do if man accidentally gos in the water, and what you do from time finding out someone went in, and what you go though to stop and do an rescue, thank you letting me ask.

[@bosgaurus1]

Ahoy!

[@trentonpaul598]

When towing at night do you have lights on the chase boat ?

[@skippersajgon]

I think they are not towing at night ;)

[@lifeisfine2331]

Laws wants that you light the towed vessel and the towing vessel as one. You'll have the rear light on the towed vessel and the navigation lights on the towing one.

[@martijnschuman]

@@lifeisfine2331 exactly

[@lillliillliliizz485]

In a other video he did say it does have a light for it at night

[@steinarsrem9854]

Don`t call other skippers an idiot. Maybe they don`t know whats going on. You lifting the anchor on the port side and he came in from starboard. But yes, it`s better to pass behind

[@Yeah_Buoy]

what type of rope are you using for towing and whats its breaking strength?

[@vinayakaphatage5053]

You guys pin to pin follow the safety measures in minor works also, thats really good. The team work is unavailable. 👍

[@benfavorite1207]

Love watching the channel, I was wondering if you offer SCUBA to your guests? If you need a certified divemaster to provide services, I would love to join the crew! Just kidding, about joining the crew, but not about the SCUBA!

[@andrewknights4064]

[@MrTurboTurkey]

As a mechanic I can safely say... -_-...sailboaters... Also you might need my services there for a nice freshwater chain rinse! :P

[@barrieforte2588]

I did not see the anchor pendant?

[@bryanwelsh7608]

So when the chase boat is under tow and you are sailing some distance (perhaps at night) and only one person is on watch, how do you verify the chase boat is still back there? Does it show on radar? Would suck to lose the chase boat, travel 100 miles and then realize it's not back there!!

[@SethRBaron]

What are your guidelines for the use of your life vest? Can’t figure out a pattern for your usage?

[@robertfrederick9061]

I do not fully comprehend the configuration of the chase boat towing bridle. What is the function of the red/white sphere at the Y end of the chase boat bridle, Please do not tell me it is a float. If it has any measurable mass it creates a potential fulcrum point that can induce oscillations in the single line between the chase boat bridle & the towing boat/ship bridle.

[@markofgodtx6]

I saw on a yacht brokerage site that AWOL is up for sale. Will you stay with the boat? How will that affect your trip raffle?

[@nldmaster]

I like seeing you do non-captainy things.

[@highkicker11]

He never does anything non-captainy as you put it. A captain is only as great as his crew and the crew need a good captain to allow them to learn how to do his job. Aka not being at the helm all the time does not mean he is not being on duty as a captain it means he is delegating one part of his job to one of the crew. After all a captain does need to sleep or eat but he is never ever off duty. He might be off watch but never off duty. Unless the boat is destroyed, birthed or he is relieved by another captain.

[@aimanaziz5801]

During tow,where do the chase boat capt stay?

[@Th3Vik1ng]

@11:55 Why not put the line under first?

I can't imagine that towing that huge boat is any fun.....I think there is a hole in the operational plan. You need a winch, a retrievable runabout and an inflatable to tend lines.

Just wondering, you criticised the sailing boat from going in front of you, but how much space was there to the rocks behind you, i guess it couldn't have been much and wouldn't it be safer if both in charge or their vessels could see each other? I enjoy your videos alot but that just got me thinking 👍

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

The camera isn’t good at picking up distances. We had miles of space astern of us and very little ahead. Trust me, I’ve doing this job for almost 20 years, I don’t make statements like that lightly.
