Superyacht Crew's Race Against Weather from the Caribbean to Florida! | Part 2

[@chrisyoungs3896]

I have been enjoying your channel for a week now. I really like the way the crew is a team and Paul you are one hell of a leader. I am sure the attitude and way the crew cares is reflected in your pay. Be safe and God Bless you all.

[@wheels_up2579]

You apologized for the night arrival, but we see so much of your stuff during the day, these night time ops were real fun to watch this time, so thank you :-) and keep it up!

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you. We need to get NV cameras so we can show you the night ops. 😁

[@marvindebot3264]

Agreed, that was a different berthing than usual so nice to see. I don't much like having to come in at night, I prefer to avoid them if I can.

[@paulhartman3118]

The teamwork and communication is awesome! Captain and crew are to be proud of how they run this ship!

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you. It's easy when you're not just co-workers but also great friends. 😎

Kudos to Capt Paul .. his presenting skills are slick AF now 👌

[@motoryachtloon]

Only took me a year... haha thank you 🙏

M/Y Loon quickly becoming my favorite KZbin channel. Hope you all enjoy Monaco this weekend, and have an amazing season in Med!

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you ☺️

[@GiselleBoss21]

I have absolutely zero affiliation with yachting .... always loved them. Totally enjoy the presentation and learning about how and why of running a super yacht... Team work is next level .... well done crew

[@sam-dz4sj]

That night approach into port Everglades looks great too, nice to see some action in nighttime

[@esiebert7625]

Just a comment to say I appreciate what you do to bring this content to us

[@JulieMcCarthy-k5r]

I enjoyed watching the night time docking it made a nice change, and to see the sky slowly lighten with each shot.

[@motoryachtloon]

6am arrival means a very early morning for the crew to get everything prepared to dock.

[@buckystarfinger2487]

I was on a 180 foot bouy tender out of Sitka AK. Back in 71 73. How exciting watching this. We didn't have any women on board . Times have changed in some ways. Still tight spots are thrilling. Great video.

[@viviennelambie5645]

Thankyou for all the updated we cant please everyone so just know its appreciated that you guys all do the best you can well done captain and crew🤗

[@grondhero]

Another enjoyable video. I'm adding a comment to push the algorithm forward. 😉

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you 😊

[@Boots_293]

Great video, Steve is killing it! I really love crossing videos, getting to see the BTS of what goes into getting you guys where you need to be for maintenance and for your charter seasons!

[@printerror]

If he can get over this jumpy audio nonsense and go back to the smooth conversations, I'll totally be on board. For now, it's borderline unwatchable with the skippy audio. :(

[@davidhalliday7776]

Night arrival is cool, more please!

[@christophb2736]

Poor Paige! Working on the lower deck while being seasick is no fun at all. I felt her relief when you reached the harbour.

[@FLGurl]

Much ❤ to all of you on #loon and many thanks for always putting a big 😄 on my face! 🤗

Great content, Capt. Paul. A real pleasure watching a skilled and knowledgeable Capt and crew work.

Yes sir big bravo zulu.. You and the crew are some top shelf seaman. Thank you for the glimpse of the adventures

[@nomigondal3590]

Awesome 👍

[@p0pp4]

Life on a yacht is far more involved than I realized. Good job!

[@nakamakai5553]

Greetings M/Y Loon! Capt Paul, your thorough explanations and walk-throughs of what you are doing, what your vessel is doing, what all of our favourite crew are doing, and why, are the reason we flock to your channel. You are in the arena with Brian Trautman of @SVDELOS in keeping us in the moment. This goes for your positions chiefs as well - everyone has good camera rapport and keeps us up to speed with what is going on. How you all do this at times with guests on board is impressive. And go Steven !!

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you for the kind words.

[@danelionheart5881]

OMG Paul hard to believe she said it was cold early morning in FL. I started laughing.

[@maryholder3795]

This is certainly different, coming in early early very early 🌄 morning. But one thing I really like is we see the day to day and night and early morning running of Loon. Of which good team work makes sll the difference. Hope you all managed some R and R whilst in port. 😊

[@rayb3117]

I cannot wait to see what you and the crew get up to

[@TayyabTechnoTips]

Awesome

[@theycallmeboopa2595]

Watched your video earlier, just watched esysmans video, he highlights M/Y LOON heavily. Just as many of us asked him to on his last video. The only thing he didn't do was say hi to the crew. Still was exciting to see Loon on another channel. If you see him, be sure to say hi and get him on video. He's a good guy as I'm sure you've seen his videos, if not, he's very informative. Stay safe, looking forward to crossing videos.

[@la4417]

😊 great job. Steve and Captain Paul

[@catherineseapratt2938]

Nice video, love the Atlantic crossings and seeing loon sailing in the middle of the ocean. Also liked the part where you showed us the engineers and they told us about the fuel samples and what they do during these trips. Really cool to hear from the people that run the engines down there

I really wish I had got into the industry, the internet must be a great tool in helping people decide what career to get into. Great vid and love the teamwork. I do wish we were a bit more up to date though, is that a security thing ?

[@kc-xb9dr]

I enjoy the lot. I still miss Blair though

[@lf2131]

Top 👏

[@davedavids9619]

Great maneuvering at night, know from experience how difficult it is. All those references at different light intensities, drives you mad. Top job. I know you carry a lot of fuel, but do you use fuel additives and / or polish the fuel like we do in the smaller yachts ?

[@marvindebot3264]

Does Florida allow drone usage before morning nautical twilight? Lovely time of the day to come into berth, clear and still.

[@josiahmaricle]

Is it normal for a cruise ship to be under armed escort?

[@busterulmer7092]

In Port Everglades it is. They maintain clearance around the entire ship until they get a ways out of the jetties and then the Port Pilot exits.

[@huddystone7994]

Yes at Port Miami and Port Everglades. I would assume the same for Canaveral as well with The Space Force base being so close to the port.

[@jonathanscott550]

Excellent video again Thanks Steve and Capt Paul. Nice spot you are docked in Fort Lauderdale near the Hilton. Have a great two weeks before your crossing. I am jumping ahead a couple weeks right now as I had watched esysman SuperYachts just before this video. You are already in Monaco and you are in esysman Monaco part 2 video already docked up. You actually show up 4 times in his video. Looking from stern your view is well how would I put it Looking a the shitty cubicles and rear view of the stands luckily you've a big screen to watch the race unless you are lucky enough to get out in person to watch race. Still You are privileged to be docked so close to the race. Saw 4 to 5 crew members working cleaning up. Looking forward to your video of this approx time line I figure few weeks maybe month . Okay looking forward to next video.

[@motoryachtloon]

Thanks, Johnathan; we are working on catching the timeline up a little over the next few weeks.

[@jonathanscott550]

@motoryachtloon I understand that I do. However, as I know, you read reviews. I thought I would mention this in real time, lol, as I thought it was awesome.

[@jdstan9650]

👍 great vudeo but for the crazy audio fluctuations...

[@RobG001]

FYI, No audio issues at all here, and I'm listening via my hifi, so I usually get a heart attack if the volume shoots up etc :) All the best...

[@savageZ4]

40 knots of wind at sea level. i have a plane and that is no landing territory at all. well done captain.

[@esce69]

Not so sure about Paul's "WOW"-endings, but an otherwise very entertaining episode.

[@FredGallefoss]

This was a great episode, well done filming and editing Steve, probably the best episode so far from Loon. And Im not saying that just because we got more than 1 second of my favorite @paigegafney 🙂

[@samiurrehman6752]

[@trwh9640]

Great video, loved the style and editing, would loved to have known what the outcome of the fuel was, so there is more complete storytelling as it were

More to come in next weeks video

[@newry12]

So interesting to watch but please stop the background music when people are talking.

[@redleader]

What sort of lightning do you set up for towing the tender?? Or are you even reqd to do so?

[@bobuncle8704]

Great vid. Hey Paul, when you hit the waypoints, does the autopilot make the course correction, or is it done manually.

[@motoryachtloon]

The autopilot will do it, but the OOW needs to acknowledge that the waypoint has been reached and that it's safe to turn.

[@Boots_293]

Is it normal for a cruise ship to be under armed guard like that when coming in/out of a port?

[@d-sx560]

Yes. Aside from Terrorism, the onboard casinos are holding more cash than your bank.

Yep, so it's just safer to keep out of the way.

[@OafPokie]

Please stop the rapid mid-sentence cuts. Please! Pretty please!

[@JCinMA257]

Agreed. I flat out can’t understand how they think this looks good. I love this channel but I find it so unpleasant to watch with the cuts

[@JamesHawk1221]

They need to let everyone explain everything for a lot longer instead of these quick cuts. Also need to follow up on previous videos. I guarantee unless someone from the ship reads this we will never hear about the fuel samples.

[@sarahs1708]

I don't really notice this to be honest. Probably cuts off because the crew member has naturally finished what they wanted to say. Their next words might have been "Erm..yeh...so..". Is that gonna be good in a video?

[@motoryachtloon]

Noted and changes are being made.

@@motoryachtloonthanks for commenting and being open to constructive feedback!

[@donb.puryearjr.8699]

Question, does the craft you are pulling behind you affect your fuel usage notably?😊

[@motoryachtloon]

Not really we do everything we can to reduce its drag. Light fuel, remove unneeded weight, clean the bottom, and trim the engines up. So the HCB kinda just bobs along behind us.

[@gyfflyl5949]

What would you do if someone had an emergency and has to go to hospital during the crossing? Is there an option to do this?

What was the significance of the Coast Guard escorting that vessel? Captain Paul mentioned to not overtake the vessel for fear of getting shot at.
