First
Our first video is complete. Its our intro video.
Like the style? I hope so. I spent months planning it. First videos should be along in a few weeks. Going to try and do one each month until we get really close to departure.

We have 286 videos you can watch for free on YouTube. We do not even accept donations, let alone beg for other people to finance our cruise.

If you honestly want a critique of your work, make it available for people to see without first pledging money. If your work is good enough, you will earn - EARN - a little money from it.

NOTE: I was first to jump on this thread with criticism of the OP. In the original post, asking for a critique of his work, the links sent me to a pay per view and subscription site. I found it insulting to be asked to pay for the privilege of providing critical analysis. The links have since been changed. Had the links that are displayed now been in the original post, I would not have made the comment I did

You have a spelling error in your opening graphics.

And just what is a fusion of sailing anyway?

I'd like to know where your putting you GS on your vessel not alone getting it on and off. Are you on the Adventure Riders and Scuba Divers forum as well?

Perhaps fusing it with poor spelling and fuzzy underwater photography, oh and riding a motorcycle carelessly.

If you would donate $5 to me per video, I would be happy to critique your boat and sailing ability for the sole purpose of helping you have a successful cruise. Hey, experience costs. First lesson, paint your mast!

Riding a motorcycle with SCUBA gear on, under a sailboat? I'll pay to watch that.
Sounds like a hell of an expidition. Hey what do those squiggly red lines mean under the word expidition?

Thanks for your input. We are doing it how we are doing it. All videos are free, and yes we accept donations. Thank you. I have seen your videos. They are quite slow paced, and quite boring. I hope I can entertain a younger generation then you guys are.

BTW because of your videos I have come to love the little vega, and have recommended her over many other pocket cruisers.

A fusion of three sports. Sailing, adventure motorcycle touring, and diving.

I am not on the adventure riders forums, I am only on a commercial divers forums. The GS will be mounted aft, have not finalized location yet, tyres may need to come off each time.

Yes, my underwater footage was lost when our external hard drive failed, Hope to have more to add as time goes on.

Sony Vegas pro 12 does not have a spell checker to catch my bad typing skills. I will not be posting typing videos, thanks.

If you donate $5 to me I'll get my clothes off and send you the video

Well under way. I am up to the first spreader now. Mast steps are being installed too as I go.

 

[GeorgeB]

Mark, wouldn't you make more money sending a message like: "Send me $5 or I'll take my clothes off and send you the video"... Hey! Wait a minute! Isn't extortion illegal? Do I need to sic the postal inspectors on you?

How are you to prevent your GS from not turning into 500 + lbs of corroded metal mounted on deck?

Our videos were originally intended primarily for Laura's Mother so Hip Hop music and fast paced graphics would not be appropriate. That we have nine thousand subscribers and two million total views is quite a surprise, but we still make them mainly for Mom and other family members.

Depending on the charity of others is incompatible with our philosophy of self sufficiency. We view asking for donations on line as the modern form of standing on a street corner with a cardboard sign around your neck. Our generation was raised to believe that that sort of thing is unseemly. We do realize that this is not modern thinking and that your generation, by comparison, has no shame.

So Good Luck. Hope you can get enough other people to give you the money they work for so you can go on your cruise.

I see that you see me as a beggar. Its an old fashion view that is incorrect.
People pay for TV, they can pay for a sailing video series. I guess you do not know the difference between a guy with a sign that says, "will work for money" and one that says "Need money"
If I have a sign it says, "free, take one, donations gladly accepted"

You may have 9000 subs, and that's great, but your not putting out new material any more. I am one of your subs, but I have not seen a video from you in a good long time.

Keep in mind I am not the only one here with a patreon video series.
Have fun, and I hope you go sailing again.

The plan is lithium grease, and a cover. We will see if that works.

I thought McDonalds was spelled right....??

I think I stipulated that we are old fashioned folks.

Interesting business model. Hope it works out for you

I guess, the day before yesterday is a good long time nowadays, and fact checking before you shoot off your mouth is such a bore.

Doesn't change my opinion.

Have fun, and I hope you go sailing again.

I have a feeling that I will do a lot more sailing than you will in the years to come.

asking for donations aside.. well first, nice vids.. I like he discussions between you and the wife, and the facts.. like the weather... or even the trash count you are talking about in this video from Oct. 11, 2011..

but back to donations --- do you or could you get some advertising $$$ from Google?

Edit: one thing I find troublesome with youtube -- i wish there was a way (or someone could tell me about it) to get to the first video and watch them in order
