  &quot;mainly from the US, who didn&apos;t like the fact that you can&apos;t have cannons and stuff&quot;. This had me cracking up. We do like our cannons.<br>Sincerely,<br>An American

  Lockdown is like life at sea...that made me laugh out loud. I spent 30 years serving in the U.S. Coast Guard with many of those years on ships. When asked I often joke that it was like being in prison, but with the possibility of drowning.

  I dated the nanny onboard who was the owners niece. (Back story)New guy on the boat, boss trip in 2 days. Day worked for the boat so I know all the crew. Cap say a few need to know things before they arrive one of them being &quot;don&apos;t stare at the nanny and get in the way of them making coffee&quot;. Cool, easy. &nbsp;I drove the tender and ran the nanny and kids around basically all day everyday. So the nanny spend a lot of time together and hit it off. She ends up telling me that the mate would stare at her(when she was in a bikini) and make her feel uncomfortable hence the warning from El Capitan. seriously, the mate was a creepy hobbit-like dude .... Nanny and I are like 2 peas in a pod and everyone can see sparks are flying... Boss had no problem with it and actually encouraged me to go for it! But...later I learned the crew didn&apos;t like it at all because I was quickly favorited and thrust into personal time with the owners, taking care of different things around one of their houses, building playgrounds for the local hurricane relief effort, the gravy jobs basically. so that didn&apos;t do me any favors with my crew.<br> When I was let go I asked: &quot;moving forward what can I do better in the future?&quot; The Captain: &quot;Don&apos;t run around with the guests&quot; , while standing beside the relief captain who was his friend of 20 years and started as a deckhand on the very same boat and met his wife onboard years prior... <br>Nanny the Owners and I are still friends to this day, they sold the boat. &nbsp;gg

  Hey, I am a U.S. Citizen who likes guns. I hate how people have given you a hard time about the gun subject. I have watched a few videos of yours and have anticipated your &apos;gun video&apos; and I was extremely satisfied with it. It was clear, concise, and gave a personal opinion/experiance portion that I thought was fair. Dont get discouraged by the angry masses that think their view should be the worlds view just keep doing what you are doing. Love the content and if I was able to have a super yacht I would be honored have you aboard.

  Nice video&apos;s!<br>I&apos;m captain on a 30m private yacht and I enjoy the insights you give in the daily things happening on those bigger (charter) ones. very informative. Somehow it makes me feel happy running the boat far less formal and easy going than those big ones where guests pay &gt;100K per week. keep it up!

  I reckon this lad would react very calmly to a disaster. Maybe even yawning. His laid back style calms me down.

  I have sailed to many countries and I have never been without a long gun on any of my yachts. Thank God I had one on a trip to Jamaica as we were being tailed by 4 guys in a small boat with two having pistols. They were approaching with the two armed guys standing out front brandishing and yelling to stop... well that was until I came out on deck and aimed my AK-47 with a drum on it at them. Of course, my weapons are in a hidden compartment that has an electronic release mechanism. I would never leave the dock without them. I would rather face 12 jurors in a courtroom than be carried by 6 pallbearers to the grave... period!

  Great video!<br><br>I have three questions: <br><br>1. How do Captains and Chiefs feel about &quot;Hands-On&quot; owners? Say an owner has taken some Coast Guard Auxiliary sailing classes, and done well and seriously at them, and wants to be an active part of the vessel&apos;s operations, not to take over but simply to learn and participate?<br><br>2. Is it better working for friendly owners who treat you like their equals, invite you to the Sky Deck after work to watch TV with them, or the more aloof owners who keep to themselves and only treat the crew as paid staff and nothing more?<br><br>3. How do crews typically deal with owners/guests who like to practice nudity in the hot tub or spa areas?<br><br>Thanks so much, and fair winds!

  &quot;The Tudors&quot; is a series about Henry 8th-very long but really really good. Love your videos-very informative. Been fortunate to be a guest of the owner(not a Charter) on few smaller yachts-between 125&apos; and 195&apos;. No better service anywhere than on a well run Yacht!! Thx again for your videos
