[@jefferybrumley819]

mooring buoys on the Mississippi River are reserved for Commercial cargo operations and is generally .55 USD per GRT per day, not to include linemen, tugs, or pilots. The average port call is around 165,000 USD for a 4-5-day turnaround. The cost for garbage removal is 600 usd for up to 3 cubic meters and 185usd for each additional cubic meter plus the cost of a launch about another 1,200 USD

[@wooddoggy2]

[@nemo227]

When I win the lotto and buy my yacht I plan to simply keep it anchored about half a mile offshore here in Monterey Bay (California). I'll save a lot by not buying very much fuel and my friends and people I see on a daily basis will just take the tender to the yacht, have a nice lunch or dinner, fish, sunbathe, scuba dive, and enjoy life. The Monterey Bay area is as nice as any other spot. It's nice enough to live here.

[@nemo227]

@Brisdad53 Imagine a life without fantasies. A couple of dollars a week is a small price to pay for the joy of anticipation. Remember when you were a kid and Christmas (or your birthday) was coming and the excitement of possibly getting a special something. Or maybe a friend just lost his job or suddenly had a house burn down . . . and you were suddenly able to help him/her out. You won the lotto and now you just call your lawyer and ask him to see how you can anonymously help your friend. The pleasures of anticipation are many.

I am always surprised how you can understand someone over the radio.

[@highkicker11]

Its the fact that the camera mic is not picking up the sound waves because the mic is not pointed at the source of the sound. Also its picking up other sound as well. If Tristan would set up a hand held radio on the same chanel as he is using and record its separately with a cable going from the radio jack out to the recorder you would hear what he hears. There is just to much interference on the radio and between the speaker and the camera to get it.

[@garethchild]

Three things: first, as highkicker11 said the camera mic is not getting the full range of sound; second, when you use a marine radio a lot you get used to it; third, you know what words you are expecting to hear and that makes a difference.

[@Andrew-ep4kw]

First, let me say I enjoy these videos and I think the crew of AWOL are doing a fantastic job. But I want to address a misunderstanding that exists, at least in the US, that all yacht owners are 1 percenters. One thing for folks to understand is AWOL is not like most yachts. As a super-yacht, she is in the same class as cruise ships - commercial ships that carry hotels as their cargo. She is small enough that she feels like a personal yacht (which is her appeal to clients) but she has more in common with the Queen Mary 2 than owner-operator yachts like the one I own or the Hattaras owned by the folks that publish the Trying Not to Sink youtube channel. I only mention this because folks think all yachts are like AWOL, and it clearly isn't the case.

[@dospalmascb]

Personally think 975 was reasonable. It’s £8 an hour in Edinburgh to park a 12m coach, in London it can be as much as £90 an hour at Earl’s Court Tesco coach park.

[@robertlloyd6470]

Wow! When your video notification arrived with that title, I thought you broke something while docking again. Glad it was not so. $1000 is pittance for a millionaire. You probably find that between the settee cushions. Try finding somewhere like Grenada. It's cheaper.

Hi Tristain. Really enjoy the vlogs thanks yo you and the crew. Quick question, many vlogs show the varying yachts and mention space for storage of ropes and fenders etc. However, the day to day running of the boat including space for refuse, consumables, tools, oils and the like is never discussed. Any chance you can explain how you deal with this? Love Sanlorenzo and AWOL, one day maybe .........

This is a little off-topic but a 74-foot dive boat burned off the coast of Ventura County in Southern California with 34 people still missing. I live in San Diego and sail on and off, I never thought you could cram so many people on a 74-foot vessel. The crew was able to get off of the boat but the people below deck most likely burned.

[@apofficial2946]

Yay I’ve been looking forward to this for ages!!!😀😀😀

[@theartist124]

At Marina del Rey here in Southern California for a vessel the size of AWOL is in the ballpark of $4,500 "a month", no where as bad as the $36,000K a month you might pay in Sardinia lol! (and did I see it correctly, AWOL is for sale?)

Still enjoying your videos. Could you please post more videos of you berthing the vessel. It would be great to have a second go pro permanently showing the engine, helm and bow thrust control positions. This would compliment the gopro on your head strap. If possible it would also help if you thought out loud. For instance if you are going astern and the stern starts to swing with the wind explain you are countering the swing by combined use of the twin screws and possibly the bow thrust etc. Please keep up the good work!

[@Thoragor]

they start at $110,000 per week

[@PhilGroene]

@@Thoragor plus expenses like APA, tip etc 😉

[@ilpostino321]

Actually, the base fee for the summer is $135,000 plus expenses. Expenses, when chartering in Western Europe, can go up to 50% of the base fee. Tip is normally 20% to 25%. Extra taxes such as VAT and local taxes are also very high. Basic rule of thumb for chartering in Western Europe, as on the French and Italian Riviera’s, is to double the base fee and, of course, assuming it is not during special events such as the Monaco Grand Prix. Chartering in Eastern Europe, such as Croatia, is much less expensive.

[@planck000]

@@ilpostino321Chartering in Croatia less expensive? :-) Think again, especc if you are looking at places like ACI Losinj (new), ACI Slano (new), Brijuni NP... Becoming really expensive (+crowded), even for a small sailboat (eg 40-45)... Beautiful though, no doubt about that

I am not surprised about any cost of owning and operating a boat such as this. Even people like myself who have zero experience with the yaghting world know that the cost of doing absolutely anything with these vessels is very expensive. A thousand euros/dollars would be cheap for a single hour of ownership no matter the reason. And for a mega boat that would take you for about fifteen minutes or less.

1) Barbara is just cool. If she says she was given one shackle, I believe her! 2) I can understand redundancy for safety, but why would you need 4 lines to 1 buoy?

[@garethchild]

cbrusharmy If the buoy has two anchor chains then the boat needs an attachment plus a backup to each chain. You attach to the chain, not to the flotation buoy. I could be wrong in this particular instance, but that is my experience with mooring buoys elsewhere.
