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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.😀👍

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

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!

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.

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.

AWOL looks amazing in these surroundings ! x

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

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

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

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!

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!😂

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

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

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

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

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

Man,I would love to live in the house in that cove! Beautiful place.❤️❤️❤️

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

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

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

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

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.

Pro tip from the Captain, when ordering polypropylene lines always go for overkill..lol..love you channel Brother..listening in Boston MA USA

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

What an awesome location, just beautiful !

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

Hi Guys would be interested to see the procedure for recovering 2 anchors. Croatia looks awesome, we’ve done a lot of cruising in Greece, but missed out this year, so enjoying your trip.

What an awesome spot! No better way to start the day :) - Dean

love the lens. great image. lovely spot. thanks for share.

Nice vid 👍🏼👍🏼

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

Beautiful Bay - loved the shaving session 🙂

Will be interesting a video tutorial of how to do the anchor maneuver in a narrow place

Tristan I Enjoy your Blogs, Please Keep up the Good work, watch out for the Rocks you can't see, I would like the free week if possible, Thanx.

Another great anchor. Thanks for sharing.

A shackle length is actually 27.432 meters. 15 fathoms, each fathom is 6 feet.

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

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

Love watching your vlogs

I think your overdoing the advertising.. bloody hell

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!!

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.

All I can say Tristan is growing up hey 🤩😘big difference from last year Or is it the shaving🤔. Greetings from South Africa

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.

I bet Chad's biceps are bigger than your quads...haha Not many bodybuilder deck hands I bet!

Hello! Maybe can you do point place in chart where you did mooring? very interesting for me where located like places

I enjoyed the video!

Wow! That M60, can see your grey hairs. LOL! just kidding. Looking good on my new ENVY Lap Top.

DSC - I've been a member for years, you can see how well their razors work, just look at my picture! Seriously, I just trim the edges with the razors anymore...

Gorgeous Location ! Giv requires you to be properly Groomed, I prefer a Braun electric. I think the blurry is not good, buy try and learn. If you never try, you never learn.

I love the new lens i think it looks so so much better

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

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

Hey Tristan, bookmark this location. It is where I would like to go when I win the raffel. cheers.

Feedback on Camera. Quality improved after you changed the camera right at the end of the video.

Thanks for a super channel. Exciting to have the opportunity to follow everyday life in a closed world for most ... How much does the anchor weigh? And how much does 1 "schakel" weigh? Niels Moller, Copenhagen, Denmark.

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?

5 Shackles up. Let’s Get Outta Here

Nice video - love to see a mix of surroundings and what goes on, etc... I'm very curious - I don't know if I just haven't noticed those exact spectacles before or what... but I need some new ones soon. Did THOSE come from that sponsor you were showing a while back? *IF* so - could you remind me the website again and tell me the exact model number? 👓 Thanks and safe travels. 👍

Love to go for the lottery cruise but Im not flying ANYWHERE from NZ. LYW

very interesting-new lens nice and sharp and good sound

Even A Super A Super Yacht 🛥 Captain has to 🪒 Shave.

Hello from the Caribbean

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 :)

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 .

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?

what a beautiful spot. enjoyed the vid. can i ask why 150m chain what was depth and what so much chain

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!

I used to like this vlog, but it has now just become a product advertisement channel.

Overkill is always a good thing. Better to have more than enough, than not enough.

Caught that stowaways piece? Curious have you ever had someone try that?

I like this Lens!

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?

Video is very good quality.

I was wondering,how do the crew stay fit when you are at sea all the time? Do you have any gym equipment on board? 🤔🤔🤔

Would a gimble help with stabilizing the camera? Love the channel so far.

Do you use mainly the same bays /inlets all the time and what happens if there is some one else in them do you have plan B/C ,if the chase boats goes ahead and its full ?

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?

The GoPro video looks better than the Canon

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.

Hi can you explain what actions you would take to weigh achor if the motor on the anchor winch failed ?.
