Video Boat Blogs
Being a visual person I enjoy the video blogs the most, if they are done right. So if you plan to video blog please learn from those that are doing it right. Study their techniques, get a decent camera and either do sound over or get a wind sock for your mike. Remember your viewer is interested in your story, your adventure, more then endless footage of your selfies. Based on experience it takes about 15 minutes or more to get one minute of good video. Also good video editing software saves time and makes for better end results. And if you are looking for support via Patreon then your story line, camera work and sound quality all make a difference.
In the following lists, the format is: Web site (if different than boat name) - Boat name - Boat type & size (in feet) - My Comment - Year their adventure started. In some cases there web address is better known and so I placed it first, as in the case of Latitude Adjustment (the site) - Tuuli (the boat name). There are over 500 vlogs about sailing and crusing so there are just a few listed here to get you started.
