That said – they haven’t uploaded for a while, but when they were, it’s estimated their income was around $2,500/month.

I haven’t seen them sailing on any other boats or featured on any other channels.
Big Moments
What happened during their journey?

Future Plans
Where to next? Are they still sailing? Did they sell the boat and return to land-life? So many questions left unanswered.
Key Takeaways

Conclusion
While small, I really did enjoy their channel. It felt simple yet knowledgeable unlike the ‘chicks for clicks’ YouTubers that dominate YouTube.
I can’t wait to see them return to the platform in the very near future.
