Real Time Update Just For You!
Added 2022-08-21 14:01:04 +0000 UTCHej Hej guys and gals!
It's been too long since we had a proper catch up with you all, so we decided to sit down and give you the scoop on what we've been up to. So far the Sea of Cortez has been an absolute dream, and we are so excited to give you our first little glimpse of this new cruising ground for us. The video pretty much speaks for itself, but there is one point that I wanted to elaborate on a little bit more here...
Since completing my circumnavigation I've been reflecting a lot on the trip so far, and I just wanted to make sure that you all know that this trip literally COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT YOU. We get lots of amazing messages from the Delos Tribe about how we've inspired or changed their lives in some meaningful way...but actually it's all of you that have changed OUR lives by making this whole journey possible. I've spent almost a third of my life on Delos, and I can't imagine my life thus far any other way, I would be a totally different person with a totally different life without the support you all have provided over all these years. And what's even cooler is that you've allowed us to share this journey with so many people and inspire them to chase their dreams too...so you are every bit as responsible for this as we are. But I digress...long story short, you all are AMAZING HUMANS, and I am so proud and so in love with this awesome community we have together.
And that being said, lately we've been thinking about what this Patreon community means to us and to you. So our question to you is this:
What would you love to see on here? More of something we already do? Something we haven't done before? We want to make sure that this special space we have here is exactly what you want it to be! So we would love to hear your ideas on ways of doing that! Leave us a comment below or send us a personal message if you prefer :)

Love all of your videos. Trying to decide whether to jump on a plane from Seattle to the boat show again. We were there last year and got to chat with Bill and Grace and Taylor. Sad to miss you! If we don’t make it (husband may have to travel to Japan), we will see you another time. Of course, would love to see Delos in Puget Sound someday! 💚💙💚💙💚💙

2022-09-04 04:13:55 +0000 UTCHey Mark, thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback. You're definitely not the only one interested in more in depth content related to cruising, so we're going to start putting out some extra videos on here related to that :)
Sailing SV Delos
2022-09-02 13:52:22 +0000 UTCHi Delos, still loving everything you put out; you're a regular inspiration to extend our sailing beyond our normal cruising grounds. I guess there's a range of audiences you cater for and I wonder if thinking about those segments might be useful. Without deep thought ( and no malice!) I guess there's Dreamers, adventurers, Boat techies, navigation techies, Getting into sailing folk, how do you manage a family on boat folk ( and likely more). There'll be videos that cross all interest areas, and some with more bent towards one stream or another, even subconsciously ( and I'm pretty sure there's not much you do which is subconscious - there always seems to be lots of thought going in). I guess I'm always interested to hear about destinations, how you plan, the challenges of provisioning ( some of the early provisioning videos are mind altering), how much Navigation prep you do, how to convert the boat from coastal anchoring to longer passage making, and the tech stream that you started but never quite finished ( follow up on the satellite system, tablet vs plotter, earphones, EPIRB use, making AIS work better, how did the new radar work out, your seemingly endless spares stores, medical provisioning) - I guess it's the 'Skip Novak' knowledge you have that is great to hear about. I'm guessing some of this is less compelling on pure YouTube viewing numbers). Also glad to see you've updated the 'channels' on youtube - helps find stuff! Or, ignore all that, keep doing what you're doing because it's all excellent!

2022-09-02 10:54:10 +0000 UTCHi Skip! Yeah that was where Sierra was born. Love Gotland. Has a very special place in my heart and lots of great family memories. So happy you had a good time there 😊 Might actually go back and visit my family and Gotland in a few months. Great idea about the videos! Will keep that in mind for sure 😌 many hugs! Kazza
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-31 18:14:24 +0000 UTCAw thanks Dusty, the beers are the only thing keeping me cool up here in the sweltering Sea of Cortez, so cheers for that 😂
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-29 15:04:54 +0000 UTCI DO appreciate the discount thanks. But I'm really here to buy you beer lol and follow your adventure
Dusty Ritz
2022-08-28 15:38:08 +0000 UTCBrian, Kazza, Baby Nuggs and rotating crew: I want this journey to be what speaks to you, fills you up, and brings you joy. That’s really what I tune in for …life under sail with a heavy helping of joy and of real and of humor (sometimes while under stress but even then, the humor pulls you through). If there’s a little more diving and maybe some Galapagos action to complement what the Sailing Academy is getting up to… cool …as the Nuggs needs a little less tending and that becomes more realistic, woot woot. But seriously, I’ll wait a decade before I mention it again. Feeling super happy to be a very small part of what you’ve accomplished and continue to do. xoxo

2022-08-26 00:36:21 +0000 UTCHaha Amy no offense taken, we're pretty much here for the nugget too! 😂😂😂 And thanks for the input, we've got lots of new ideas of extra content to post here for Patrons only that we're really excited to share with you!
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-25 16:38:43 +0000 UTCSweet thanks Bill! Sounds like you're not the only one who is interested in some more in depth boat work vids so I think that's something that would be great to include more of on here :)
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-25 16:36:23 +0000 UTCThe thing that really gives Patreon value to me (honestly other than just being happy that I'm contributing in a very small way to you continuing to do your thing) is any video that you share here that is not on youtube. So stopping in more often, even briefly, with a little glimpse of where you are now, behind the scenes, extra content, a little nugget cam (I love ya'll but I'm here for the nugget LOL) is my favorite!
Amy
2022-08-24 20:17:02 +0000 UTCAs I'm mechanically challenged, I love your boat work videos. They are so interesting for me and to see Brian "MacGiver" things is impressive. I do really enjoy these Patreon only notes. How about a monthly Patreon only video? Or something like that?
Bill Dapp
2022-08-24 17:27:12 +0000 UTCBellingham has better sailing than Seattle. And less tacking to get there…..😂 Bellingham yacht club…Oh the stories.
Emily
2022-08-23 22:44:42 +0000 UTCThere is SO much GOLD for you all to go back and react to! Would be so fun to see you guys reflecting and re-living those memories! It's a good way to involve some of the previous crew too and see if they can join in on a virtual meet and you guys can react together and record yourselves! Love it!
Victoria Makris
2022-08-23 22:18:47 +0000 UTCHey Richard, we're slowly making our way north now. Just visited Isla San Francisco and now making our way with small hops towards Loreto and then up towards Bahia LA or around there.
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-23 21:14:47 +0000 UTCBut, eventually we will turn around and head back South and will be looking ofor a place to provision in the spring time. We really want to visit La Paz so will make some plans for the spring hopefully :)
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-23 21:13:11 +0000 UTCAlso would love to return to Bellingham! That's actually where I bought Delos :)
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-23 21:07:18 +0000 UTCYes, we have a little beach shade that folds up real small and works pretty good! It's hot, but it's a DRY HEAT :) ha ha.
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-23 21:06:08 +0000 UTCHeck yes! Come to Bellingham/Anacortes area... we'll have a huge Delos party. After all didn't Delos come from Bellingham?
Denise McDonald
2022-08-23 20:11:40 +0000 UTCHi guys, we just returned from a cruise ship trip to the Baltic (two old farts on a big ship)! One stop was in Gotland! Toured the ruins of Visby, rode the restored Hesselby train in Roma, saw the very old Endre Kyrka church..........then it occured to me that Kazza's Mom lives there {somewhere?) and y'all stayed there for Sierra's birth. (I am not totally sure about that)? Anyway, what a very cool and beautiful island! The weather was perfect as the locals were freaking out with 75 degree temps! Meanwhile you are cooking in super hot Mexico! You asked about what else can you share on Patreon? Maybe a bit more about how you both grew up (Sweden vs. America) and how you will raise and educate Sierra as a comparison to your youth. Might be too personal to share and if so no problem, we understand. All the best, Skip and Julie.
Skip Vail
2022-08-23 20:08:46 +0000 UTCDo you folks have a sun shade? I see you baking like lizards out there and think Delos canvas boujie-beach sunshade! Is it a different kind of heat than the Cost Rica or Panama? I always think of them as being hot and muggy also. Any-hoo, keep cool and hydrated. hope to see you in Bellingham!!
Emily
2022-08-23 02:38:52 +0000 UTCAwww how cool (Or hot, rather 🙃) Hopefully every morning will feel like a friday with your new mug!
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-23 00:24:37 +0000 UTCMid October can't arrive soon enough then in that case 😂
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-23 00:21:40 +0000 UTCThanks so much Ray. Glad you've enjoyed following along the journey with us and thanks so much for the kind words 🥰🥰🥰
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-23 00:20:47 +0000 UTCOrdered my Delos Trip Coffee mug. This will bring you into my thoughts every morning as I enjoy my java!!!! You have no idea how important that is. LOL
Ron Brock
2022-08-22 23:39:29 +0000 UTCThanks I'm sure the night sky is a mind blower.I was going to Fiji in 85 saw the Southern cross at night flying to Fiji unbelievable sight..✨️
Gary Suffern
2022-08-22 19:15:38 +0000 UTCYes I know where you are, we've snorkeled Espiritu quite a few times. Do you plan on spending weeks there or are you planning a northern trip soon? I would love to see Delos...!!! I've watched all the episodes and follow you and the family weekly!
Richard Bencivengo
2022-08-22 16:54:17 +0000 UTCMid September is a bit early for cool weather here in Baja Sur. Normal years, as if anything is normal these days, cool weather arrives in mid October. Have fun on the islands. Love to see you in La Paz.
Jerry Barker
2022-08-22 16:53:48 +0000 UTCWe're a bit past La Paz now, but we've been doing lots of exploring around Espirtu Santo which is fairly close to La Paz!
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:50:01 +0000 UTCThanks Garry! Oh yeah the party was amazing, and we're all fully recovered here and happiness levels are maxed out right now, it's been so amazing to get back out into full cruiser mode after our long stop in Puerto Vallarta!
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:48:28 +0000 UTCCrocodile Dundee??? Come on pEoPLe! He isn't Plukky enough to say people right. 🍻
HappyRock616
2022-08-22 16:46:59 +0000 UTCOk awesoem thanks Jaimie, sounds like lots of people are in the same boat as you (pun intended) and want to see and learn as much as possible to prepare for their own journeys!
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:46:41 +0000 UTCWow thanks so much for the kind words Leo, and thanks for influencing us too :) All the best right back at ya to you and your wife 🥰
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:44:24 +0000 UTCHahaha ok we are picturing Crocodile Dundee reading this message out loud 😂 Ok cool thats an awesome idea, we get a lot of messages from the Patreon tribe here that are on their way towards living the cruiser lifestyle, so I'm sure many would appreciate some more info and guidance in the videos.
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:43:27 +0000 UTCHaha oh yeah, we got a LOT of good years of sailing ahead of us still! And I mean Sierra will need to finish her circumnavigation too so wouldn't make sense to stop any time soon 😂 Thanks for being a part of our Delos family!
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:41:18 +0000 UTCOk awesome Patricia, thanks so much for the feedback, we can definitely keep more videos like this coming!
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:40:09 +0000 UTCAwww thanks Justin, we're so happy to have you along for the ride with us!
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:39:14 +0000 UTCAwesome, we can definitely keep that up. It could be cool like some other people were mentioning as well to do more "uncut" explanations for some of the stuff in the episodes that is too long for the general audience but to go more in depth just for you guys here that are really interested in learning more :)
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:38:49 +0000 UTCThanks so much for the input Sean, we can definitely put together some more content like that for Patrons. And YES we are getting so stoked for Annapolis, can't wait and we hope to see you there ☺️
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:37:24 +0000 UTCThanks Lowell, we've actually been talking about doing like a "where are they now" video with old crew! Haha love your tactical approach to the blurry boob days 😂
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:36:18 +0000 UTCHmmmm this is a really interesting idea, thanks Scott!
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:34:48 +0000 UTCThanks Victoria we love these ideas so much! Especially the reaction videos to old episodes, we were actually just talking about that the other day 😂 Especially as we get closer to the circumnavigation episode we've been going back through lots of old vids and clips and there is SO MUCH gold in there!
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:34:17 +0000 UTCGetting carried away is the one of the funnest parts of sailing....you gotta dream big!! And thanks so much for the input, we can definitely make those happen!
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:31:03 +0000 UTCAwesome, thanks Gary we've been a little slack lately on the night photography because this season has been full of tough dinghy landings to get in at night, but now we are in prime territory for that!
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:29:38 +0000 UTCOk cool thanks Ramsey, actually one video we've thought about making in the near future is a "where are they now" kinda thing with some past crew!
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:28:50 +0000 UTCHaha thanks so much for the input and good luck with the bilge pump 😂😂😂
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:28:15 +0000 UTCHey Peter, Japan has always been on our bucket list!
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:27:37 +0000 UTCNo one can rock the outtakes like you Papa Delos!!! You're the king!
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:27:16 +0000 UTCOk cool that's a great idea, we definitely have some good content in the bank for that kind of stuff and something to keep in mind filming wise in the future
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:26:54 +0000 UTCOk cool, we love the bloopers too so it could be fun to post more of that here for sure! Thanks for the inut Erica!
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:25:46 +0000 UTCThanks David, we are SO looking forward to the Annapolis meet up, hope to see you there! And thanks for the constructive input about the ads were doing, appreciate the thought you've put into it.
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:25:14 +0000 UTCOk awesome thanks for the input Chris :)
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:23:24 +0000 UTCAww thanks Myra, glad you are digging what we're putting down ☺️
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:22:43 +0000 UTCSweet, thanks for the input Greg! Yeah we definitely cut out some of the project stuff to suit the general audience, but it could be really cool to do some more in depth stuff on here for people who are interested in learning
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:22:06 +0000 UTCOk good to know! So happy to make your soul happy, and hope we see you out on the water soooon, you got this Jennifer!
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:20:50 +0000 UTCHaha exactly, it is NEXT LEVEL here! We are starting to slowly get used it to but wow the amount of sweat on Delos right now is insane!
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:19:45 +0000 UTCThanks for the input Lon :)
Sailing SV Delos
2022-08-22 16:18:05 +0000 UTCGreetings Brian and Family. Please allow me to add my congratulations on your circumnavigation. After 10+ years on the water it is quite an accomplishment that few can claim. Know that I have enjoyed the opportunity to follow your adventures and the various crew ( "characters") along the way. Wishing you and yours safe journeys/passages, fair winds and good health. Kindest regards, Ray Lehman
Ray Lehman
2022-08-22 15:06:43 +0000 UTCWe live in La Paz on the sea of Cortez as you know, do you plan any stops here in La PAz?
Richard Bencivengo
2022-08-22 14:43:20 +0000 UTCCongrats on completing your circumnavigation Brian and I bet the party was awesome. So sorry that covid had to appear there. Hope everyone is recovering
Garry Gill
2022-08-22 13:55:45 +0000 UTCLove the live updates. Would like to see more of 'a day in the life' type videos. I'm sure those can get boring for some, but for me they are for learning as we are planning our cruising adventures.
Jaimie Guidry
2022-08-22 11:26:56 +0000 UTCHi Delos, Keep being nice people and show us the interactions with people and amazing places. Me and my wife support you because - you are very gentle and nice and friendly with other people and thus set an example of interacting with the world. The conversations/meetings/interactions you have in the world are a positive thing. - you asked in the video to pay you a beer to keep doing this - you see and show amazing places Lovely realization - we pay you to be able to live your life. We influence you, you influence us. So - keep going as you do. The interactions with the commenters are a perfect twist, adding a new layer into the videos where you communicate with us/the internet. best Leo
Leo Sauermann
2022-08-22 08:03:05 +0000 UTCThese personal updates are nice. It's great getting occasional personal messages and making ads second are great. A unique idea would be a series of brief how-to cruiser updates. Show people where you're headed (Delos Youtube time not real time) and how you picked an Anchorage from the chart perspective and laid in your course. Or how you picked your route and your expected comfort/points of sail. Basic steps of cruising that show up in forums a lot. Could even be used as teaser topics for a certain cruisers university. Basically a 3 min short blurb about you using cruiser university topics in real life. Cross pollinate PEOPLE (said as Australian as possible).
HappyRock616
2022-08-22 01:56:43 +0000 UTCBrian says"I finished my FIRST circumnavigation". Love it. Thank you Kazza for the heartfelt message. The tribe is more a family. Just keep doing what you do and we will continue to live out our sailing dreams vicariously through you and Brian and Sierra. Stay Salty
Andrew Lee... lost, at sea!
2022-08-22 01:02:23 +0000 UTCI love updates like this one. I love hearing how you are in real-ish time. I've heard a lot of creators worry that little updates like this aren't slick or fancy or interesting. I understand that concern because this is your business and making hot videos is such an overarching focus. I become a patron, though, when I start caring about the creators more than I care about their creations :) So, more little updates like this please! <3 xo
Patricia
2022-08-22 01:00:14 +0000 UTCBeing able to follow your journey is more than enough!
Justin Davis
2022-08-21 23:07:33 +0000 UTCYou're pretty good at including the "why" in your videos. Keep on doing that. 😀 No matter the topics in each video, knowing why you made your choices is helpful to everyone. Whether it's a choice of landing spot, trip planning, choosing when to do something, working on equipment, everything is presented best if you also include why.
Sailing Cyclops
2022-08-21 22:23:42 +0000 UTCHey guys, just wanted to say hello, and I love what you guys have been doing so far. It's a nice escape to see how the three of you make your voyages happen. One suggestion that I saw in another comment, which I had the thought too: Alaska! Now that you've modified Delos to have heat and a bit of insulation it might be feasible? I'll also echo that I love the watch updates and the night sky shots. Lastly, this may not be something you can do a lot of, but a deeper dive into navigation decisions, and how you actually sail the boat (rigging, sail trim, sail plan, etc.). I've been taking classes and expanding my knowledge, and I'd love to see the details on what makes Delos harness the wind. Hope to see you guys at the patron event! Thanks!
Sean Martin
2022-08-21 19:31:52 +0000 UTCIt might be fun to see updates from former crew members. A long time ago I searched for sailing in rough weather and started watching Emerald Steel and SV Honeymoon. A thumbnail of one of your videos with blurry boobs kept showing up. I didn't want to upset my wife by watching boobs on youtube so I didn't click on it. Then one time the thumbnail for "boatwork in exotic places" showed up, I clicked and was instantly hooked. You guys run a well managed boat & a well managed channel. Being a draftsman that has worked for project managers for a very long time, I can tell that Brian would be a great project manager to work for. Looking forward to Sierra 2.0 ;^)
Lowell McCormick
2022-08-21 18:42:32 +0000 UTCOne idea I have is for you to put together a package of the episodes from each "season". That way we wouldn't have to go to YouTube to re-watch an episode, or a whole season of episodes. Clearly you'd sell these compilations. Don't know if putting them on DVDs is still something that is done. But downloading them as a digital file (let's say a whole season) might take a long time. Personally I'd love to have copies of your "productions" from day one of SV Delos. Perhaps we could mail you large SD cards and have one or more season transferred on to it/them? This wouldn't be a "in your spare time" kind of thing, if there was a large demand. So you'd probably have to pay someone to do the transfers. That's why you'd have to charge for them, of course.
Scott C. Wise
2022-08-21 17:42:17 +0000 UTCI would so much love more frequent updates! No editing required, no rules at all - doesn't have to be all 3 of you every time as that may become a chore or 'work', or cover any topic (but if you are looking for ideas, I'll include a list below :) A morning or evening 'snack', or mid-week SV Delos snack where you talk about what's on your minds & hearts and/or in your environment. Just some in-the-moment updates in whatever frequency you can muster would be amazing!!! Just want more of the Delos/Trautman energy :) Video Topic Ideas: Think-out-loud sessions as you plan your next journey or review places to explore later, unedited footage of you all just going about your day, even with no sound or just nature sounds, "SV Delos reacts to SV Delos" videos - go back and react to clips from the past, talk about boat maintenance and repairs - record your reflections on the details that pass through your minds, talk about all that video editing and the creative process! You could do a new thing like "Fika with Delos Fam" where you just casually have Fika with family and chat (with us - your virtual fam) - new merch opportunity on that too, a SV Delos Fika mug (or something). Or a "SV Delos Sailing Siesta" series. You can make these recordings available forever or just for a fleeting 48 hours (or something). Or "SV Delos Sweet & Salty" series - all just casual updates and thoughts :)
Victoria Makris
2022-08-21 17:21:34 +0000 UTCHi Trautmans! We are such huge fans! We love your content; agree with comments above, about more live updates and bloopers are fun! With Kazza's comments about not being sure about crossing the Pacific at this time, we were thinking about how fun it would be to see you guys up in Glacier Bay next summer; exploring along the northern west coast of the US and Canada. Maybe after departing the Sea of Cortez, after hurricane season, it would be interesting to see you stopping along more of the west coast of Mexico, and down to the west coast of South America. I'm getting a bit carried away; this might be multiple seasons of sailing, but just some ideas we'd be interested in.😁Love you guys🥰
Joan Peterson
2022-08-21 16:17:41 +0000 UTCAll good Brian,Kazza,Sierra thanks for your videos Gary 👍🇺🇲 (a night sky with stars would be cool if it would come over well in a viedo come to think about it..)
Gary Suffern
2022-08-21 15:59:37 +0000 UTCReally enjoy these little updates, gives us a glimpse for the future videos. Really enjoy your interactions with other cruisers, locals and your own crew. It would be good to slowly invite some of the past crew back on board for guest appearances. Other than that..enjoying everything you put out.
Ramsey Halbous
2022-08-21 15:51:23 +0000 UTCWe don't need much from Patreon. We are patrons because you weren't jerks when we met a few times. In fact the quite pregnant Kazza was a goddess and Brian you were a gentleman. We figure when we retire we'll retire from Patreon too :) However, if you want to know what we'd like to see. I sent Brian an email with my current list :) And now back to fixing a bilge pump and replacing an ignition switch ...
Sailing SV Eoti
2022-08-21 15:20:17 +0000 UTCI have heard how much of a beating cruisers take going up and down the US west coast, but I would suggest planning an overhaul in Seattle for April/May next year then tackling the Inside Passage to Alaska next summer. A -really- long term crazy idea? Japan!!! :D
Peter T
2022-08-21 15:13:10 +0000 UTCBloopers and outtakes of the SAILING ROCK STARS , being caught in everyday crazy situations that shows they are just like the TRIBE
Michael Trautman
2022-08-21 14:40:37 +0000 UTCYour video production evolution over these past dozen years has been wonderful to watch. Some more ASMR vids (squalls at anchor for ex) would be nice as well, and I imagine the edit process is simpler. Carry on Delos, it's not always an easy journey but it is one of incredible value for yourselves and the many lives your videos touch.
viahj
2022-08-21 14:39:33 +0000 UTCI would love to see more funny bloopers reels! They always make me laugh! And behind the scenes videos are the coolest, to see the process is always special. Thanks for everything Delos!!
Erica
2022-08-21 14:39:11 +0000 UTCLooking forward to any Patreon meetup you can arrange while you are in Annapolis. You guys are the creators and have been able to capture my attention for many years now. For things I would like to see more of: I do enjoy the periodic live updates. It would not have to be anything you would have to edit, also not looking for any 'spoilers' for the videos, but just updates. As an aside: It sounds from the outside like it is really getting difficult for creators. All I ask is that you are transparent if you get sponsored for something, that you just tell us and not just "product place" or mention something without disclosing that you are being sponsored. I agree with previous comments that I have been less interested in channels that become basically commercials for products. You have been handling things well so far, so hopefully you are able to find a balance between getting some benefit from having your audience without overdoing it. I have no doubt you will be able to make that balance happen and l look forward to seeing where the next stage takes the family. Cheers.

I’d also love to see in depth project / behind - the - scenes videos that might not be something you want put up in the main feed because of the editing overhead…?? Just keep being you! I don’t mind saying there other big channels I’ve stopped supporting because they basically sold out to promotions and barely actually cruise any longer.
