We have met up with @VernonDeckLearningByDoing. Vernon takes you through his most recent additions to his sailboat.
Vernon is taking over our channel, and we have taken over his to bring you our most recent additions to Nakama, you can check that out and the rest of his channel here https://www.youtube.com/c/VernonDeckLearningByDoing
We just sailed 24 hours to meet up with Vernon from the Youtube channel Learning By Doing Sailing. Vernon has just arrived back in Australia after spending the last 4 years cruising Indonesia, we love his videos for their raw, honest and easy-going nature which we feel captures the reality of a cruiser’s life and it certainly doesn’t hurt that he has sailed to some truly spectacular locations. We’ve both just completed significant upgrades to our floating homes, so while we’re both here, we thought it would be a fun idea to film each other’s upgrades to bring you a little something different. However, There’s a small catch, we are going to bring you Vernons upgrades, and if you want to see a full tour of our upgrades, you’re going to have to endure the pleasure that is heading over to Vernon’s channel.
