AN EARLY START FOR SUPER YACHT CREW. (Captain's Vlog 166)

[@albing1397]

I prefer the GoPro video with the greater depth of field.

[@theemrtaco]

If I may give a little suggestion, in editing, please boost your audio, your voice is very low in the video, then when you play the music its extremely loud, I keep having to lower and raise the volume to keep it at the same level. Its a great video but yea I keep having to change the volume every time you switch from montage to you speaking.

[@matt_waddy]

And then it just cut from his low voice to a KZbin ad and was blaring loud. I woke up everyone else in the house...

[@vewo234]

The new lens is way too blurry when you show something in the background, like the lines or the radar domes. Or when the focus is not perfectly on point.

[@markridge-jf7wg]

The quality of theGoPro was way superior. Clearer and included more in focus background.Really enjoying your work and content.

[@tracksidebc5854]

Tristan, love the videos but you need to spend more time on the audio in post. This video was particularly poor for audio volume consistency requiring continual volume adjustments while viewing. Like being in rough seas with no autopilot and stabilizers!

[@cristophermorrison7574]

I much prefer the gopro The cannon is nice but you cant see whats going on in the background.

[@mikeheard4859]

Nothing like a close shave but it won’t cure your wind problems 💨💨💨💨💨💨💨

[@martyncompton9572]

Nice spot, Hvar was party central but still got some postcard quality shots from the fort. I actually liked Vis more, bit more authentic. Nice to dream/reminisce while I watch the rain fall in Perth.

[@markchip1]

Lens seems good - but I'd have to recommend a stabilised hand-held gymbal mount for a professional look to your cinematography.

[@Tosti3]

I agree!

[@d14551]

I really enjoy your videos. I do agree that when you are talking and there is also background music, the music often overpowers your voice.

[@aidangilmartin8716]

Nice vid 👍🏼👍🏼

[@BrianKilgoreCanada]

Fuzzy backgrounds are trendy, but they harm the documentary character of your videos and make it hard to see what's going on.

[@googlevoicer]

I don't like them either. 🤷‍♂️

[@gerryfinegan]

@@googlevoicer It's DARK........early morning!

[@tinysworld1749]

Making me miss my time as engineer/deckhand aboard S/Y Aschanti IV in French Polynesia through Antigua. Saw some amazing places that most people would never even consider seeing.

[@seantwomey396]

The printed checklist is smart. Did you develop the checklist or do you use a standard form either from San Lorenzo or a publisher?

[@stuartread135]

Hi Tristan & other boaters. Just wondering after you were talking about one of the guys maybe having to go for a swim to retrieve the port line, what would be the procedure if the main anchor got snagged on deep rock, a reef or something else and could not be freed. Would the chain and anchor have to be discarded? The anchors on AWOL look customised with their flat plates, so I imagine that leaving them on the sea floor would be 'undesirable'. Does this situation happen to other boats sometimes? I saw on an episode of Below Deck when they had a major anchor chain tangle they considered jetison of anchors and chains - but in some harbours apparently it's not allowed to enter without anchors available. Thanks for any insights into this.

[@jjaus]

Now THAT'S what I call a place to anchor. Nobody else with whiny jetskis and crap music. I'd rather it was just the two of us owner operator. (My partner, not Tristan):D

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for showing your cool life on a nice Looking yacht.

[@stevescott1276]

As a up and coming larger yacht captain I humbly appreciate everything you say to help teach. Love the pre-departure checklist for captain and engineer, I wish you'd post it so I could copy, seems like it's a great list! I also wanted to ask if there was any other ways to get in the raffle for the trip with you aside from Facebook? Thank you as always, great job!

[@Nick-vu9yu]

Really enjoy the yachting ad breaks in amongst the shaving video.

[@ronniewilson6597]

Tristan, that music was to loud and annoying. Especially when the video was being shot so early in the morning. Maybe some gentle background music to set the sean not an all night rave. Enjoyed the content though. Ps the advertising section is to long, keep having to try and fast forward it.😀👍

[@alexanderray9106]

I think your overdoing the advertising.. bloody hell

[@johnnybuss5637]

Your camera with the new lens was not good, too dark. GoPro was significantly better!

[@dennisfrankum4519]

Liked the go-pro video over the fuzzy fore/background.

[@gofer1971]

Amazing location! Looks like a one boat spot...... even better! Great watching the crew in action. Pity we didn’t see a 6am water plunge to retrieve that line!😂

[@seantwomey396]

You are sadistic but it would generate a laugh. A very dedicated crew!

[@willliam6501]

Tristan, thanks for continuing to produce interesting videos! It's a treat to see what you're doing as the sun rises, and your "shaving clip" was fun,too! Maybe a few more clips with the crew shirtless?! Lol Keep up the good work.

[@bobtindo5736]

Was a good thing the Canon battery went flat because even though the GoPro is not as good a camera; at that point the picture and especially the annoying audio quality became much more acceptable. Still it's a great video as usual, keep up the good work.

[@Donald_Shaw]

Not wild about the new lens... just doesn't look crispy and clean.

[@michaelgarlickmovies]

Another twenty minutes very well spent. Great and informative. Thanks Tristan.

[@davidbayles6494]

Rules: The raffle is over when all tickets are sold. Number of tickets = 40,000! 40,000 x £15. = £800,000. Convert £1 = €1.12170 £800,000 = €897,360 AWOL charters in high season for approx €150,000 p/week. Am I missing something or is my math wrong?

[@thelightingguy8779]

Will 40,000 ever be sold?!

[@sebastianreilly]

of course it’s a business, if they can make 900k from a raffle, good for them 👏🏻

[@Andrew-wv7qp]

Tristan, wondering if in calm conditions like that do you still use the engines to move AWOL up to the anchor as the chain is taken in? I would imagine yes, but on my boat (admittedly much smaller at 34 ft) I can haul the boat up to the anchor by hand if it's calm enough. AWOL is a much heavier boat so it might be too much for the windlass.

[@lenger1234]

Loved the video Tristan. I like these little peeks into the day to day activities as much as I do your bigger videos. Clearly your crew likes you as they don't seem to mind participating in the videos as well. Keep them coming!

[@robjefford7955]

So jealous right now Tristan. Was meant to be flying out to the beautiful country of Croatia today for two weeks. British Government Kaiboshed that plan with a 14 day quarantine period. Oh well, next year looms

[@TheOUboy]

Another great anchor. Thanks for sharing.

[@jonausten1261]

TBH, I think the go pro is a better choice for your vlogs. the very minimal DOF on the other camera doesn't really work IMHO

[@artnickel1664]

It would be nice were you to put Lat/Lon of some of these great places you visit.

[@jon4]

The GoPro video looks better than the Canon

[@michaelmacauley3875]

Place looks stunning but them adverts are a pain in the hole 👍👍

[@JCrook1028]

17 minutes of ads in a 20 minute video...

[@valentinosdalmatia]

You released your last 2 videos the wrong way around, Vis and Hvar are south of Skradin given you have been navigating North up the Adriatic

[@dougf94912]

I think you’re still overdoing the teal and orange color grading!

[@Jerry_SWMO]

Perhaps in the future you could do a video explaining who and how the anchorages and ports are established and how they are entered into the navigation system and how you navigate from 1 point to the next. Thanks.

[@rx7dude2006]

Great lens love the look, I use a 1.4 for still photos and love the feel it gives.I would use that lens for static shots(talking into the camera and tripod shots)but all the action shots you may wan't to use a larger depth of field lens.

[@robpoyser3476]

Great content .... Glad you mentioned the lens thought the camera was broke

[@brucemackie3837]

The new lens is a vast improvement, and you were much more natural in front of the camera. Really good to hear you talking techy camera stuff, absolutely no need to apologise. Is that rope really 80mm thick, it looked more like a 62.7mm to us🤪. Well done Tristram.

[@rodtrevor2315]

Absolutely fantastic what a beautiful anchorage. I am just wondering why any of the guest are not on deck watching you guys do your great seamanship. Really like the new shallow depth of field.

[@philipmason3218]

I wonder about the guests as well. I'd be up and about watching, maybe they're all under lock and key 😨

[@rodtrevor2315]

Philip Mason yer could be an ohs thing you are right be a boat enthusiast I would be interested in all that goes on more than sitting back and thinking I was important. Would be great to here from Tristan about our thoughts.

[@appleZac]

Great vid Tristan. Great colours. Like the new lens. Cinematic. But most of all, loved the content.

[@brucebenson9651]

Camera lens was so much better than gopro. Tristan, when do you sleep!?

[@paulwalker6297]

AWOL looks amazing in these surroundings ! x

[@barrylambert8572]

Really enjoying the recent videos while at anchor or passage. The day-to-day life you all live with guests aboard.

[@brianmichaels5112]

As always excellent content. If I was ever to own a super / or mega yatch Tristen and his team would be my choice for crew. The detail he leads them with in safety is just phenomenal. What a beautiful anchorage. Croatia is stunning.

[@stevenzobel4517]

The camera seems okay it seems good in good in the low light of the light would you have on the bridge there you still got reasonable good depth have a great day Tristan

[@russellhallam8054]

Great to watch .. amazing blue seas .. makes the t4 lock down more bearable thank you 🤙🤙

[@WobbleKun]

get a full frame camera with 16mm for that wide shot goodness if you upgrade. 16mm on an apsc sensor is like 24mm, still pretty tight of a shot. full frame cameras will also do much better in low light cause of the bigger sensor. canon eos r or if you want to go hard, the r5. the r5 autofocus is godly.

[@tfmulla]

Camera looks good, and for one on one interviews or opens and closes on the bridge, where there is nothing to see in the background, I think it will definitely add something to the vlogs.

[@mentonish]

Hope it was a fresh water washdown, here in the south of France we get the sand additive !!!!!

Love watching your vlogs

[@davidfrank2824]

When you were saying how big your stern lines were it was hard to see in my head how big you were talking about. When you went to the back and showed the size I started laughing. I think my thickest line is half of what you are using. I have a 30 m ocean Alexandra and off the top of my head I don't remember the size of line but I do know I went one size bigger after buying my boat. They give you everything you need to enjoy boating but I always go and pick up extra things just like the life preservers they give you. I don't care for those big bulky orange ones. I buy the ones that look like vest. I don't know if you guys have West Marine in Europe here in America they are about the only boat oriented store in our country. I never throw away the life jackets that come with the boat that I'm buying they're just extra in case of emergencies. There's been a couple times in our home water of the Chesapeake Bay that we heard a emergency call and we're not too far away. Once we got to the location I started throwing life preservers overboard for the people to put on and then pull them aboard our boat. I absolutely loved where you anchored up at. We have a few places in Maryland off to Chesapeake that is sort of shaped that way but is not as beautiful as it look like where you were. We only have brown stained water. From watching your videos and seeing where you get to go my wife and myself are really considering putting our boat on a transport boat and spend all of next summer going to completely new places. I enjoyed your video like always and I look forward to more.

[@davidbayles6494]

The Bay water quality has become horrible. When I started boating as a kid in the 70s the water was a clean green. We could see the bottom in many places 10-15' down. In one anchorage on the Chester River we could see 50' away with a mask underwater. It's so sad. Too much development and farming is killing this estuary. We only have ourselves to blame.

[@alanpini5788]

Ooops now I see, the daylight video is great

[@davidrhoover]

The departure checklist has "Checked for stowaways" Are there a lot of people trying to sneak onto yachts in the med that it's a checklist item?

[@GjbMcN]

Great footage was the heather on the hills really orange a lot ( there’s a Gum Tree in Australia that has orange blossom so it’s possible ) But a of the footage had a warm orange tinge yet at one point there’s a cool blue . Anyway again wish there was smell-o-vision ( except for busted toilet might need to switch to bidets) the fresh morning sea air in a remote part of Croatia must be good tonic for wee poor folk in Covid stage 4 lockdown

[@Johnnyb1695]

Ya this is why I un-subscribed (I jest stopped by to see if I was right)

[@steegzor5161]

Do I understand correctly that a Superyacht like yours has to constantly run Generators day and night with tied to shore beeing the only exception? Since you guys do not have any Inverters (correct me if I am wrong), wouldnt it be a great thing to consider inverters and batteries to be able to turn the Gens off at least over night maybe? Would be amazed about a reply since I am actually very curious how you guys handle this :)

[@toddwhite2992]

Hi Tristan! I've thoroughly enjoyed all of your videos. One question: is AWOL capable of transatlantic crossings? If so, has AWOL ever wintered in the Caribbean? If she is not capable, has she been ferried? How much would that cost? Thanks Tristan. Keep up the great work!!

[@tonywitherspoon6844]

I was asking where is your Tender keep on board I did not see it on deck ? A power boat that size is hard to miss .

[@googlevoicer]

They don't have an tender on board - they have a chase boat that follows them along and gets towed when underway and tied along side when not. It's called "Chasing AWOL". It's the boat they are using in this video when they retrieve the shore lines. 😉 Now we all know you're super new the the channel. WELCOME ABOARD! hAhA 😁

[@drumgeartour]

How do you empty and fill the hot tub? Is there a storage tank keeping it heated and chlorinated below for it, or is it a fresh fill every time?

[@pablohoney4257]

Captain, how does your crew anchor to the rocks on shore? Do you just loop the line around a boulder, or do you use any sort of fixed (bolted) anchor points for your lines? I am curious if you just loop around a boulder, do you use some sort of chaffing protection? I’ve med-moored with smaller sailing yachts and our shore party would have to scramble ashore to find a sturdy tree, or some sort of hearty boulder. Also, on a sailing yacht, you have stern winches, for trimming the aft/shore lines. How do you trim them on a super yacht? I see the cleats, but I don’t know if you’re equipped with aft winches. Kudos for the overkill on the 18mm polypro lines. Always good to have stout mooring lines. You know if one breaks, it will be in a terrible gale... at night... which quickly turns into a total shit show to rectify. Thanks for giving us all a glimpse into the life of a professional mariner!

[@RichardAmmo1]

Pablo Honey That is a “Yes” for tying onto the rocks. He showed how they actually use a strap to wrap around the rock; then they connect the rope to the strap to prevent chafing on the lines. I think he showed that maybe three videos back? This is the second time on this trip, that they have done this. I’m curios about what the folks living there think? Maybe they like seeing the different yachts that come in there? Maybe they don’t? Maybe this is the first time a yacht has ever visited them before? Inquiring minds would like to know!

[@danito5627]

It would be interesting to so see what happens when you are on watch in the middle of the night and on anchor and you can clearly see that the anchor is dragging or a line to land has gotten of the rocks. Or a unpredictable thunder storm rolls in hard (what always could happen in croatia from my experience even if the forcast is good). Whats your emergency protocols for this?

Do you allow the guests out on deck when Manoeuvring

They do not, he has mentioned that in other video. Safety reasons. Maybe way up on the upper deck but not on the main. One imagines there are likely a few exceptions - but that's the rule. 👍
