This YouTube channel is a record of my attempt to be free and live a life out there on the Oceans. All I know is my dream of sailing endlessly and exploring this planet. It has consumed me for 3 years now and has been documented here. I have worked so hard in the film industry as a 1st Assitant camera operator with IATSE 667 and its time I made my own movie. A movie about a man who up and leaves his life as a cinematographer and heads south on his floating home camera in hand in search of freedom... In search of an intentional life at sea. I have spent years working on films sets all over this country learning how feature films are made and I intend to use this experience to make a truelly entertaining YouTube channel. Follow along on my journey and help me with this huge undertaking. Make a comment subscribe and become a part of this sailing adventure. Now is the time to do what must be done when SAILING IS IN YOUR BLOOD.
