Looking for youtube people to follow/learn from

[Cruising Sea Venture]

If interested here is a link to our latest video where we caught Alaskan King Crab while cruising SE Alaska.

Hope you all enjoy!

For learning and skill improvement, two of my favorites that I haven't seen mentioned much in this or previous YouTube threads are Boatworks Today, and Sail Life (mostly refit work, applies to any boat).

More than a couple lessons to be learned on this video:

Not exactly liveaboard, but I feel like Dangar Marine would probably be interesting to some here. I have learned a fair bit from him. Typical Ozzy bloke refitting a steel trawler/dive boat...

Not a liveaboard but sv Panope does anchor testing. Best in the business. Technical and a bit dry, but rock solid information.

BTW - you do realize

1. Successful YT folks heavily censor their comments. An example is Sailing Atticus, a shoe-string couple, recently announced they are buying a replacement boat and started a Kickstart we campaign. Enormous negative feedback, especially now with so many struggling with jobs due to covid. All negative feedback is systematically removed leaving only fawning adulation.

2. YT sailors are coming I to 2.0 where they are successful enough to buy new boats. They are pivoting from austere cruisers to well funded sailors with half-million dollar boats. It's their deal and success, but just so you know, the game is changing out there.

I've stopped watching most. Adventures of an Old Sea Dog still keeps it real. A bit sporadic in videos.

For those interested, we have posted a new YT video. In this video we travel up the rarely visited Bradfield Canal in SE Alaska in October. It's a 12 mile deep fjord with no really good anchorages. It does not disappoint.

We live aboard and cruise full time without any permanent moorage.

This winter in Alaska - next summer we will head to Mexico.

You can find our channel by searching Cruising Sea Venture on YouTube.

Hate to sound ignorant, but how does one “search” on YouTube? The options I find seemed to be keyed to the last thing I chose from the 6-8 things offered.

Bob asked,

how does one “search” on YouTube?

Go to YouTube (YouTube), and you'll see a pale grey rectangle at the top of the screen. Put your search term(s) there, and hit the magnifying glass icon; the Search engine (being google, after all) works well.

I have been following Stu (Dangar Marine) since he began his YT channel. Definitely some interesting programs there.

Watch none of this. Reality is you’re shown a edited version. Often technical information is poorly explained or just wrong. Much of it is soft porn and of no interest.
Our program is:
Need to fix or buy something.
Re-read salient portions of my boat maintenance books if necessary.
Scour internet for information
Search YT for troubleshooting, installation or technical videos. It’s here YT is quite helpful.
These are usually concise and helpful. Not infrequently generated by professional technical boat workers or the manufacturer so spot on.
Do the job. Often with the video nearby on a IPad to review as work is in progress.
