Don't think I've ever seen anyone so psyched for a life raft return 😂 Also I need to elevate my pasta draining game and get more of those rational wire racks. That's brilliant.

Life Raft Return Day is always a crew favorite! Then we can leave port again and get up to mischief on the high seas. Obviously I'm being sarcastic, Nina can tell that, but for the rest of you I just felt like adding hype to something and Holly was more than down to participate.

I only sub to you and another yacht youtuber and have only seen a handful of vlogs, but I notice a majority of the yacht workers tend to be Australian (or NZ, forgive me but the accents sound similar to my American ears haha). Is this somewhat of a common occupation for Australians?

Hi there just subscribed. I had actually seen you on Nina Wilson's Channel a while back but just did not follow up with the subscription to your channel until today. Really love the vibe in the content so far. How often do the life rafts have to be maintained like that on a charter yacht? Do you actually have a deep fryer on board was noticing the what look like crispy chicken sandwiches. I wasn't sure if they were deep fried or air fried. If you have an actual deep fryer on board could you maybe do a video of that. I used to work in fast food at Kentucky Fried Chicken so I have always been kind of curious about how you would do deep fried chicken on the superyacht cuz it doesn't seem like you'd be able to have a fryer very big.

@OliveOilandGasoline Жыл бұрын

Hi Lamar, welcome to the channel! To be honest I'm not sure how often they are maintained. I think it's annually but it good be every two years. We do have fryers on board but they're not as big as the ones you'd have at KFC. We try not to fry too much stuff anyway.
