I’ve been following James for years now, I 🤔 think. Anyways, I really enjoy hearing him answer questions. As I find him very fascinating, inspirational, admirable. Great question for him.

I have read a lot on WW2 ships in the North Atlantic and they said they went through 125 ft waves at times and lost many men due to chaining them on deck to break the ice with sledge hammers so the ships didn’t sink due to weight. James is awesome! Thanks for the info James. Fair Winds brother!

I knew about the knots in the rope but not the log and the hourglass, thank you i would have researched this but i thought i had the basics down but you proved me wrong. i always like to be the dumbest man in the room but i never deal with experts, i am a jack of all trades but usually better than a master of one. keep up the great work my friend.

The top two youtube cruising sailors are making somewhere around half a million a year off KZfaq, merchandise, affiliates, and most importantly, Patreon. The bulk of that money is made off Patreon. The next step down in popularity are making low 6 figures, and the majority of "successful" channels are making around 50K a year. If you're skilled enough, and dedicated enough, you can make a decent living off of youtube/Patreon. Most youtube sailing VLOGs give up after a couple of years of spending 40+ hours a week editing a video, filming everything they do, and trying to upload videos while in very remote areas of the world, all while trying to sail and take care of a boat. It's not easy, that's for sure.
