Thank you so much for sailing with us Sailnet! It's a new exciting season on DrakeParagon! From the shores of Boston to the rolling hills of Nova Scotia and the cliffs of Newfoundland, prepare for the adventure as Paragon pushes off from America! We can't wait for you to get to know our newest crew member, Éanna, who's joined us from Ireland and brought his knowledge of sailing and wicked sense of humour. Check out the place in Boston that inspired Drake to become a sailor, join us as we provision for this extended journey, and see what happens when major equipment failure almost puts everything in jeopardy.

Welcome Aboard! | #1 | DrakeParagon Season 3

And then there were three! We welcome our newest crew member, Éanna, aboard Paragon. You may remember him from the Fiona series when Drake crewed aboard Eric Forsyth's Westsail42. He's flown all the way from Ireland to help sail Paragon into the wild north Atlantic! Eanna gets settled as we explore Gloucester, start to provision, and get to know one another. The big adventure looms on the horizon...stay with us!

Thank you! We have been working extremely hard on the next episodes and are so excited to share this journey with you! We're hoping to be able to publish a new video every Tuesday for many months to come.

Woot, I love the longer format videos. I blame you & especially Mo for hooking me into YouTube sailing vids, you actually do show the cruising life. Your editing time doesn't go unappreciated, there has to be some award for best done home movies!

Though one of these days you need to cruise the Bahamas, and there will be a clickbait thumbnail pic of Mo in a bikini :D

Big Dreams | #2 | DrakeParagon Season 3



If you hear buzzing it's because we are busy bees aboard Paragon! With a push off date looming we figure out which storage containers work the best for food...and which decidedly do not! (Can anyone say homemade penicillin?) As Drake shows Eanna his friend's wooden boat, conversation turns to plans and dreams of the future. What lies ahead? Stay with us!

Unexpected 'Good News' (Yay Bob!) | #3 | DrakeParagon Season 3

It's an instructive day as we tour various systems aboard Paragon. From switching out the propane to checking on the solar panel systems and dealing with a sticky anchor, Eanna is getting to know more about his new home. As we return from topping off the water tanks some unexpected Good News arrives, or rather, someone arrives aboard Good News! Who is it? Stay with us to find out!

Anchors Aweigh! | #4 | DrakeParagon Season 3

Anchors Aweigh!

There is much anticipation for Eanna's first sail in US waters! Drake and Monique row into town to partake of the laundry facilities and dispose of excess items. The next morning everyone is up bright and early to prepare for a busy Memorial Day sail. Drake has a quick chat with a fellow sailor and checks the weather before Éanna raises anchor. Stay with us as we begin the next leg of our adventure!

First Sail!

Cookies for everyone! Be sure to check out the end of the videos as we've been putting little extra clips and cookies at the end! After many miles traveled (and a plane ride to boot!) the crew of Paragon embarks for Boston. On a holiday weekend with plenty of sun (and plenty of wind!), Drake, Monique, and Eanna take their very first sail together and get a feel of what's to come. The journey of a lifetime begins with this first sail...let it begin!

Coming Home!

Drake grew up in Boston, but it has been years since he has sailed there, and Paragon has never been. No more! The engine is off, the sails are up, and Paragon is underway in this glorious homecoming sail. As Drake reminisces about his early days spent dreaming of living the cruising life (and his voyages since!), the crew prepares to enter Boston harbor! Join us as we return home aboard Paragon!

Welcome to Boston | #7 | DrakeParagon Season 3

With boats coming from every direction we tested our right-of-way knowledge...did we get it right? It's Memorial Day weekend and we sail into Boston Harbor in the company of a million boats! A million? Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration, but it certainly felt like that many. As we navigate boats, buoys, and wildlife (was that a deer?!?), Drake shares his early sailing days exploring these beautiful waters. Be sure to stick around to the end to check out the cookie after the credits!

Waterboat

Ever wonder about the origins of 'Dig it' as in 'Can you dig it'? How about where boats provisioned with water in 18th century Boston? These questions (and more!) are answered in this weeks episode as we settle in on a mooring ball off of downtown Boston! We're poised to explore all the city has to offer from the oldest marina in town, and we're launching the dinghy and gettin' spiffy (yay marina showers!)...join us for the next part of the adventure!

SAILING HERE FOR ALL! | #9 | DrakeParagon Season 3

We're walking, we're walking, aaaaaaand we're stopping. Drake has his tour guide hat on as we begin a whirlwind walking exploration of Boston! From the Cradle of Liberty to the oldest park in the United States, we check out some of what the city has to offer before heading to the place where Drake fell in love with sailing. Described as 'My favourite thing about Boston', Drake gives us a behind the scenes look at Community Boating...a place that has truly made good on its promise 'Sailing here for all'!

Barracuda!

From here to there and back again. Time is ticking down to our departure date and we've got to make every minute count. Drake takes Mo and Eanna on packed tour of Boston and Cambridge stopping off at some of the most iconic places the city has to offer. From The Hatch Shell to the historic Boston Public Library to the prestigious MIT campus (with a stop at Hi-Fi Pizza!) we've put on our walking shoes and are taking you with us. Who knows, we may even stop off at a Harvard Bar...or rather, a Hahrvad Bah. (and no, Matt Damon was not there.) Join us for a day (and night!) on the town!

For our $5+ patrons, we'll be uploading extras in the next couple of days so be sure to keep an eye out for those!

The Littlest Shakedown Ever | #11 | DrakeParagon Season 3

If you were out in Boston Harbor on a particular evening, you might have seen a little dinghy trying to sail it's way around the waterfront. Two aboard in light winds. Almost non-existent winds. A captain and his crew...getting to know each other better, talking about the past, pondering about the future, and doing the thing they most love. Sailing.

The Charlestown Navy Yard | #12 | DrakeParagon Season 3

What do the USS Constitution, the USS Cassin Young, and the Charlestown Navy Yard have in common? We're there! We're hopping a ferry from nearby Boston to check out one of the oldest Naval Ship Yards in the United States. Founded near the beginning of the 19th century this ship yard, now a part of the National Park Service, works to preserve Naval history for future generations. Join us as we tour a massive dry dock (room enough for 1000+ Paragons!) and take a peek into the history of the United States Navy.

The USS Constitution | #13 | DrakeParagon Season 3

The USS Constitution | #13 | DrakeParagon Season 3



We have the rare opportunity to tour the USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned warship afloat. We peer inside what life was like for the hundreds of sailors, marines, and others who called her home. We check out the museum and see original weapons, write with an authentic quill pen, and get a view of how livestock was transported aboard. (Think line, block and tackle, and a very unhappy goat.) Join us as an active duty sailor invites us into the world of 1812!
