How much does it cost us to sail each year? – 1 of many questions we answer in Q & A Part 2–S2 Ep49
September 02, 2022 by Dreamtimesail | Language: EN Play Time: 00:48:56 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
After a number of comments on our Dreamtime Sail social media, we invited people to send us the questions they would like answered about our sailing, live aboard lifestyle, boat and any other aspect of cruising. In this Part Two video we begin answering those questions about insurance, filming for YouTube, what Patreon and Ko-Fi are, whether a freezer is essential on a yacht, whether we prefer sailing in the Mediterranean or Australia, what our favourite destinations are, Fraser Island anchorages, having me time apart on a boat, safety equipment, pros & cons of boat life, who we’d like to sail around the world with, Karen’s art, where we plan to sail next and the big one, how much does it cost to sail per year. We hope you’ll find our Q & A interesting.
If you have any other questions for us please pop them into the comments below and we’ll do our best to answer them
We have recently lashed out money on a new, far more powerful laptop to assist with video editing and, with the help of our fantastic Patreon & Ko-fi supporters, another radio mic to improve the audio. If you would like to support our video productions you can do it for less than price of a coffee per episode. The funds help us buy better camera and audio equipment to improve the quality of our shows. Go to our Patreon or Ko-fi site to learn more.
