from

SituationalAssessmentTemplate2017

 


 

Introduction/Definition/etc

 

YouTube videos of young(er) people

sailing, living aboard, traveling and

sharing their lifestyle globetrotting

and living the life, most might want,

and sharing theirs, likely with all

the connected people they met

along the way, this a final episode

for the season, but shutting down

the boat, still own it, maybe a storm,

how to end it type video,

most just seasonal routine

for people not sailing into warmer

waters in the cold, some think it was

April, now up in December,

but something came out,

the backlog likely getting difficult

to manage...

 

Body

 

Original Text

 

see elsewhere

maybe copy in the you tube

comments and elaborate here

on them, with context,

and a keyboard...

 

Got a like ;-/

Then called creepy for an analogy

to people leaving babies

behind on military tours,

wars, etc... Analogy to caching

stuff all over the world when run

out of space on the boat for

memorabilia...

 

 

Modified Text

 

What's Missing?

 

lock on the dinghy (sp?)

 

What Can Be Found?

 

Top ~10 Reasons to make the boat a museum:

  1. Getting long in the tooth
  2.  Insurance Purposes
  3.  Unsail worthy
  4.  Time for bigger and better
  5.  New A_* vessel coming out of the factory
  6.  Plan on (finally) getting married,
  7.  having a wife, and family,
  8.  so fork into two+ ships
  9. (old crew bought in same design),
  10.  brothers get the same design boat(s),
  11. comparative mods to it, and raft up when want to...
  12. already cleaned it, might as well...

 

 

What Can Not Be Found?

 

Enough berths for all the vicarious

viewers to be on board...

 

 

How To Analyze?

 

Lenses

 

Original crew

 

Well, do a review,

where are they now,

like all the VH1 stuff...

/Sigh

 

 

Family of Origin

 

Not a main part of the videos,

but not absent either,

so brought brother on board,

lived with him,

didn't kill him,

so might work out...

Time for a bigger boat

/PropsToJaws

 

Guests

 

Day sailing and crossing small passages

as a tour operator may be fun for some,

work it out, find crew, standard on camera

off camera lives...

 

Patreons

 

Not sure what that is like

paid subscriptions for viewing,

get pre release, early info,

InstaGram has some newer info/

stills/ etc, not sure on that either,

more commercial hosting/ subscribing

than i care to be...

 

Other ships

 

Live and learn,

maybe do some videos,

IDK...

 

Other VLoggers

 

Well their technique is all off,

Jacque (sp?) Cousteau had it right,

but we aren't him,

will see, might figure something out,

something to do with all the footage

we collected, weather sucks,

stuck in port, maybe learn some new

editing software, i hear open source

has some video stuff, wonder if i can

learn that, the cost of Prime Cut Pro

or whatever is getting outrageous...

 

Land Lubbers

 

Must be a sailing thing,

i don't understand it...

 

Old Salts

 

I'd give you advice,

but you're young and not going

to listen anyways...

 

Old Vicarious

 

Well, enjoy it while you are young,

my pains are acting up again,

must be wanting to rain...

 

Younger Folks

 

How do i get me some of that

(props to some car monkey show)

 

Start Ups

 

I wonder what makes that all work,

run some simulations and find out...

 

General Public

 

Lifestyles of the rich and salty?

 

 

Assumptions

 

Good stuff comes to an end,

/Might be a depressives perspective,

idk...

 

Virtual is safer,

but not living life,

also bad...

 

 

Time Limits

 

There is a season,

as people close out their year

financially, and logically,

and the week before New Years

is a very popular time for best of

summaries...

 

 

Links

 

find link to mention of

SVDelos previously

now year(s) ago

 

finally on it's own page ;-/

 

BTWD2018

had the wet return possible Blue

visit, or some couple going

touring, with body piercing, etc...

 

https://svdelos.com/

 

I have some old trophies/ mugs

from racing, but not anonymous,

so guess they are not going up here...

 

Some songs of the time bring some back,

Christopher Cross Sail Away

 

In college, the AIDS crisis was starting,

and as an undergrad/ freshman,

in a liberal arts school by a lake

that turned into what people thought

was a prison, later a different type

of college, the lake was supposedly

bad, and i had to jump in to help/ save

someone, captain on racing had to,

but survived, algae, and other pollution

stuff, sailing against the women's college,

losing to visiting guy, ended up being

my tutor (liberal arts didn't prepare me well

for technical school,

blamed for closing school,

post baby boom, how they were treating

students, and just plain educational org

greed/corporate life, etc

likely culprits...),

but ended engineering school

and a girlfriend had moved on,

i went back to the familiar,

later changing majors going back to school,

finished up on the 17 year plan,

for a 5 year (w/ coop) bachelors, originally,

with an adult program (required to have

been out of HS more than 5? years?)

interdisciplinary, and the local school was

a trailer park, research places would not pay

for what they wanted people to be from

(GWU, etc) during upgrades,

and while i bought Howard sweatshirt,

as a challenge

RacismAnonymous

never got one for my alma

(sp? don't use it much) 

mater, alumnae organizations

mostly want money, and if you didn't

complete the degree for that,

personal reasons, and are disabled,

unemployed, and unsaleable for publicity,

little reason to continue with that,

not exactly a unibomber scenario,

but not a happy reunion either,

high school 20 year was right around

9/11 and people didn't fly in,

nothing much to say, and i don't bother

with that either, but i didn't fit in there

much either, leaving high school part

day, to go volunteer, which started my

technical career, later for (but not in) 

military, so can't say much about it,

and other stuff, better left unsaid...

 

YMMV

 

Peace Out, not a signoff,

just learned the hard way

fighting/violence/militarism/etc

not the best life plan...

 

Peace be with you,

some places say,

finding peace with all the losses,

not that easy...

 

Oh, and congrats...

 

Christopher Sailing

 

https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=christopher+cross+sailing+away+youtube+video&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

finds many of them

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailing_(Christopher_Cross_song)

give a popup asking for money for WikiPedia...

with an article/ page in the background...

Maybe after year end, it will not pop up,

or if you can support it, YourMoneyMayVary...

 

Likely other songs, but will see,

keep them to myself...

 

 

Conclusion

 

Summary of experience or similar

 

Going on land, so wrap up,

some boat maintenance and close up,

some parts dated to back in April/August,

as warm, and fans thru, vinegar,

in a pan left, said to keep mold down,

and other things,

finally getting to editing, (yeah, not

on board, so 20/20 criticizing)...

 

I may have met Blue along the W&OD

just after Bike to Work Day,

in the rain, at the end of about 35 miles,

and i didn't have the energy, health,

and money/etc

to go eat with them...

 

Turns out the restaurant I mentioned

at the time, is moving/

creating a new location

in Falls Church, growing...

 

But finally catching up on editing,

contractual obligations of the new equipment,

(battery lithium fire?)

sails, etc and maybe just good form,

taking a break from weekly videos,

editing, and living a life, and what else

to do, not hitting a mid life crisis,

as too young for that /jk...

 

Maybe like living disabled, and how to

take a vacation from being poor/sick/tired

try being rich, healthy, and energetic?

Snarky but true, some things not by choice,

but how to do things a different way,

you have to change,

assumes you can,

life choices, had I gotten married,

had I had a kid (known?)

had I taken the road less traveled,

instead of the customary routine,

usual commute, and that car, bike,

truck, ice, pedestrian, etc

not happened...

 

How many people have that experience,

looking back with regrets,

I'm writing on something going on 10+

years later, Obama has come and gone,

Recovery funding, regional, national,

etc is spent, and records of it,

now missing, records retention

for federal money is lacking,

and other political stuff,

the roll back president came in,

trying to undo most of what was done,

we haven't gone to war with Korea,

as predicted, a tough stance may have

worked, idk,

but we are still fighting over oil...

 

China, I see from Smithsonian Channel

Aerial China, really China from Above

is our same size (w/ or w/o Alaska?)

but 4x the population?

and has bullet trains, and infrastructure

projects that leave us in the dust,

(imho? uninformed comparison,

what we are doing? haven't kept up)

 

And their energy needs went beyond

ours, showing LNG ships being built

and some of that imported from US...

 

And reading and commenting on

some of the video comments,

Patreon people getting a misc box of stuff,

sent to them with money they had sent

to keep the boat going,

here is an unused piece of duplicate

hose, congrats, you can make a SVDelos

beer bong out of it...

 

And my mood went down,

others commented upon

how they had mixed emotions about it,

but the shutting down for the season is

a normal (for some value of normal)

boaters thing, for those with seasonal

stuff, have to close down, when turns to ice,

have to stay within certain Lat/Long coordinates,

say for work, or other land based commitments,

wife/kids, sick relatives, only place(s)

ever known, etc...

 

Reruns were mentioned, they had seen

the tech segment for lithium battery

conversion, why were they recycling,

and then think of the dangers

others have said about fire with those

batteries, and worried they may have

torched (sp?) the boat,

the documented improvements,

the time off, needed, and they

relatively young couples

brothers, and associated WAG

(usually Wives And Girlfriends)

plus ones, taking over,

Kaza (sp? Karen? Karin?)

and the comments

about her and her blue eyes,

sunglasses and mirrored at that,

looking back at you, and the cameras

(on tripods? handheld solos),

part of the shot, and outtakes, etc...

 

Mr. Brady (typically a teacher's name)

in the shower,

by popular demand,

Brian being the more mild mannered

and dad like, the crazy uncle,

and other references...

 

Blue making the videos more

professional,

checking older reels for how much

their editing has changed,

scuba diving (For those, like me,

that lost an ear drum and cannot

go down, nor supposed to go up,

flying)

I think I started watching Delos

from a drone suggested link

about the time I had bed bugs,

and thought I would go camping,

turned out it was in my bathtub

and watching water, and warmth,

while huddled in a tub,

in the cold,

seemed like sailors had it OK,

and similar circumstances,

but in better places, younger,

healthy, relatively, and virtually

getting hooked on watching their

adventures, having sailed in my younger

years, only in the Bay, taught sailing

for a bit, day sailing,

raced a little too,

even in college, before it closed down,

and i went on to another campus,

as planned, and it didn't work out,

came up to coop time, and left,

for what was familiar...

 

I cruised while supported by family,

in high school,

once on a Tartan 10,

ironically I wanted to

comment on that, like the J boat,

also been on, others rented, I was

crew for holidays, and my life now

decades later, with disability,

thru homelessness,

some day treatment

(1 year, most are limited to 3 months?)

and the usual time travel

of what if things were different?

 

But I digress into history,

and my life, on a page named

for something else,

maybe you can relate,

most can not, afaict...

 

Recent attacks, personal

and up in your face like,

instead of left alone,

and that part not covered well,

notoriety (sp?)

fame, some might call it,

but not without it's problems,

being recognized,

someone saying your shoe is

untied, and I have to be out on the road

with him, it will get caught up in the

pedal, cause you to fall, etc,

and the risks of bending down,

lights out, ass in the air,

I want him to suck my D***

and other attacking/stalking problems,

(he got fired for something like that?)

when just checking for $0.20

bag of about a pound of Halloween

candy corn, when it went

up 5x+ to closer to regular price

in about as many days,

staff annoyed to have to price check

something, I had taken photos of the stuff

on the shelves, and gotten one guess wrong

in my favour, by about another bag of candy corn,

in the clearance section...

 

Outgoing have to pass staff on break?

union smokers and other problems

in the pouring rain, at the end

of a commute, stalked at both endz

too, attack after attack,

staff, ridicule, sadistic,

and other problems,

not really mentioned the negative

effects of the notoriety,

there is the spelling,

keep typing might get it right,

monkey at the keyboard,

eventually...

 

Free writing as my mood was going

down, and trying to touch type

on a real keyboard, instead of the limited

tool of comments on YouTube,

really only enables sniping type comments

on mobile devices, typing with autocorrect,

and small screened, editing fields limited

beyond what even gMail and texting limits you,

thumbs up and down on some of the others

comments from just a couple days ago

upload I used to watch as it was released

on Friday early am, I was up, and likely

one of the first viewing, most would have

been asleep, upload times, time zones,

etc, and my sleep schedule, just waking

up, so off to something, as the day

turns into Monday, typing this...

 

And might be good to add some real

content to this page..

.

The how to on the boat, technical stuff,

just up Brian's alley, career wise,

from what i recall, doing software on the

West coast, Seattle, and Arizona,

(fact check H.S./college???)

and the history, getting a first boat,

and have to have a written time line,

the videos, likely Hi Mom, Dad,

associated people over the time,

how to keep everyone updated

on how things are, and maybe for

insurance reasons, these are the

DIY stuff I did to my moving house,

in case it sinks, that was the value,

and these you do, those you don't

type stuff...

 

Encountering storms, pirates,

interviews, life on tube, and off,

travel remembrances (sp?),

how to remember it all,

like what my father left me,

and noted up here,

TrackDays,

TrackDays2012

at ~$200 / day, but that may

have saved my life, doing a turn,

and knee out plus leaning, etc

learning for Sturgis

Sturgis2013

trip, when tired and did it by habit,

a crash and trip to the hospital

would have cost more, if not

permanently in a wheelchair,

or dead...

 

Surviving storms, just coming

back, heavy rain, some do their

moto trips on video, recording all of it,

talking to others along the way,

never know when the inattentive

driver, problems, deer run out,

bad road, etc and down/out/dead,

video of the Fail, etc

sometimes funny, but likely deaths

that way too, showing some of the

fun times, what normal was like

not all doing wheelies, fronties

(sp? flagged but correct,

add to dictionary?),

etc

trick riding,

now move that to sailing,

in harbour (sp: using it),

house boat mode,

and then crossing oceans, showing

the day to day, cleaning the boat,

and how much of the how to,

and lifestyle, tourist type visiting

ports, and going thru customs,

wondering if the banana republic

quarantine, the cat(s), etc

and other problems, showing drinking,

some pot, some out of country,

expat like lifestyles, and

what it's like being 20something,

30something, and how long the

vacay may last, going thru crew

over the years, the Austrian woman,

(Liza?) growing up on board,

having kids and playing pranks,

how they are growing up on board,

schooling, home on boat schooling,

and all the learning to be done while

traveling, talk of how difficult it is

while away from family, only seeing

once a year or less,

the dealing with Patreons (part of their

financial means of staying on board/

float), buy us a beer (I'm not supporting

in that way, can not ethically support

drinking/ smoking, etc,

but some other tagline

down the wrong throat, outtakes

and what is funny at 20-30 something

and now at 55 not that funny,

the criticism implied by you are doing it wrong,

imnsho, but at the same time enjoying

other parts of it...

Crash the drone, that never happens

in Hollywood /cough

 

Taking labels off cans, as bugs

get into the labels, and wet labels

don't do much good anyways,

mark the contents so know what is in

them and store somewhere on board,

how much supplies to get for a crossing,

how much does one person eat,

the calculations of water, some

videos have, and then on power,

how much is enough, do you

have fuel, diesel and some places

having to carry it aboard,

running the water treatment,

making water, and how often doing

that vs, fishing, and catching something,

the nature aspect of it, the dumping,

seeing big vessels out there on the open

ocean, storms and squalls, and riding

it out, myself blown across the bay

with family, one of our last cruising,

now a senior, not a teen, and never

really did ocean sailing, just day sailing,

cruising on holidays with others,

and touring, myself getting scared of

water i cannot see the bottom to,

plus the other problems,

watching passages,

seasick for the first day or two,

at ocean, and what going from

land locked to boat, ocean,

and this last one, for now,

maybe ever,

going the other way,

locking up the boat,

closing up shop,

really shutting down,

maybe put a for sale sign on it,

get it saleable, and going onto a new

ship, boat, vessel, phase of life,

more a conscious decision than

something happened at sea,

and boat sank, luckily all lived,

type tragedy, like i would hear from

lists about bikers, and likely is out

there in pirate, sunk, never heard

from again stories,

how to day that in a touchscreen type

of you tube comments editor

and autocorrecting type input method

instead of keyboard and think it out,

more pre thought required, when

writing/typing than drivel here...

 

Saving this early am drivel while I can...

 

Addendum:

 

Turns out they (Brian & Kazza/Karin)

got engaged,

a short 3 minute video announced it...

 

My comparisons are from bicycling,

Bohemoth (sp?),  see MicroShip.com

and his/their bike project later in a computer

museum...  Computing Across America

and Reaching Escape Velocity

(on the financial/ sponsorship)

books describe it, now that CompuServe,

etc are less than trendy, decades later....

What adventures have you had?

Are you land locked?

Ever not been?

 

Does the ferry and other commuting count?
