Big Announcement!

Hello beautiful Patrons! 

We recently posted on social media that we have a big announcement coming, obviously you get the news first! While it's pretty huge for us and would be for anyone in our position as a blogger/vlogger, you won't be effected because you have access to our Vimeo videos. 

The announcement? We are ending our YouTube series of videos. Our videos from here out will be posted on our Vimeo seasons, for you! 

Why would you do that, you might ask?? Good question! 

To make a very long story short...The sailing YouTube channel community has become very populated since we started our channel. When we started up, it was pretty much Delos, La Vagabonde and Uma...At least that's who we watched. We started our channel and many, many others did as well. 

That has caused a surge in activity that we aren't willing to tolerate. Channels have gone from a fun way to share and make friends to something else. We didn't start this channel to make money and we don't run it now to make money. We did and do this for our enjoyment and we really enjoy sharing with you!

The drama? There are sailing channels that honestly aren't in this for the enjoyment of sailing away. Priorities instead focus on "stealing Patrons from other channels"...Coming up with drama between channels and more. We've even had another sailing vlogger make a clone of our channel and make crazy, very rude comments to people that had commented on our videos, as if it had been us. It's nothing but immature drama, it's childish and it's NOT sailing.

This thing, in our opinion, should be a freeing experience that you get to be a part of! Enjoying as someone is trying something out of the norm, for real. Watching as they give it their all. Enjoying their successes and popping yourself in the head as you watch their failures. It shouldn't be for nothing more than financial gain and to not work a job. Perhaps those folks should have completed a career first, then focused on the journey instead of the above...Over to them for that. So with this new land of sailing channels, we've decided to back away from YouTube where they reside...Counting their statistics on viewers and other channels. 

We're going to continue to make videos just as before. they will go on our private Vimeo account that you have access to! If you have any issues with your access please message us to let us know. 

You might think doing this will slow us down attaining Patrons...and you're probably right. But it really isn't about that for us. We appreciate all of you and we love that you enjoy our videos. So lets continue on, for the enjoyment of what sailing should be...Or at least attempting to sail somewhere without hitting the ground too hard! 

The YouTube channel will stay as it is and we might use it for a trailer type of thing for each video just to let subscribers know it's on Vimeo for them. 

If you have any questions or concerns? Please message us anytime! 

Brittany, Jeremiah and the kids!

Big Announcement!

Bully for you. Finally people with princibles. Love you both.

Hey Charles! We love that you enjoy the videos! Yes we agree with you.

Lazy Gecko Sailing

No competition for my support, I just support who I like, you, Delos, and Doodles, that's it. I like your content since I have been watching since the beginning. I love a good story and your story seems legit. No worries, I think most viewers are pretty savvy as to who is grubbing for money and who is legit.

Hi Rob! I'm sending you a message right now about it.

Lazy Gecko Sailing

Hi Brittany and Jeremiah, We totally understand your move, which is consistent with the other decisions you have made to stay true to the mission and your values. Just a question about Vimeo - since we have not used that service or understood that we had access as a patreon at the $2 per video level. Will the videos still be on the Patreon app?

Thanks guys! We enjoy you too! Give that sexy Momma you have a big hug from me!

Lazy Gecko Sailing

Smart move! Funny thing will be how many others follow your lead. We don't enjoy the begging some have resorted too, makes them not so enjoyable to watch. The LGS crew have always remained top notch and above board, that is why we enjoy your channel so much. :)

Well...we have our own style of drama lol Thank you for loving them!

Lazy Gecko Sailing

No drama, just sailing, right? I love the vids and am glad you will keep making them.

It is what it is! Us too!!! We love making them for you all!

Lazy Gecko Sailing

Wow! That's terrible. I'm glad you are staying around so I can continue your videos.

Hi John! It is what it is...Jeremiah has a very very low ability to bs with anything that is childish so it's best! Thank you for your kind words! Nothing can dampen our spirits, we're truly blessed people! The next video is AWESOME! I'm doing voice over right after this :) You too!

Lazy Gecko Sailing

I'm sorry you had to deal with all the drama. You and Jeremiah seem like genuinely nice people with good hearts. Please don't let those who would bring you down dampen your spirits. Keeping on sailing and making great informative videos. Stay Safe my friends.
