    Great that we're seeing more blogs and clips every week now, I cant get enough of it. I would pick the same things as most of these guys and I'm guessing Sean will be the last to be interviewed, don't know why, just a feeling I have. Except, i don't really know her that well but I bet Paige would be a ball of fun on a night out but at the same time, I think the whole crew would be my choice every time. Can't wait for tomorrow, keep safe and keep these blogs coming, take care guys.

    GREAT video! I really look forward to your next Crew Q&A. I'd like to know the following:
    - What food do you most miss while on charter?
    - When you have a problem with your bunk mate, how do you handle it?
    - For the engineers - do/did you ever regret going into yachting since your skill set is always needed on the land?
    - If you could work on ANY other yacht (other than Loon), which would it be?
    - Where would you like to travel while on charter that you haven't already been?
    - What will your future be - yachting or something else?
    Thanks!

      The cities on the European yacht circuit are super crowded, and each port comes with a lot of red tape and rules. The Caribbean is more laid-back and people are friendly and helpful.

    Max's yachting story must have been a doozy since it got cut. Mine involved a drunk guest who took a jet ski to a neighboring yacht while dressed as a pirate and held a family hostage until the captain came and physically removed him off the boat. Or the 'rap' star who wanted us to get her a pound of weed in the Bahamas and to sample it ahead of time so we knew it wasn't weak or laced, and also wanted all the stems and seeds removed before we gave it to her, and request a refund back from the dealer for all the stems and seeds removed because she wasn't payng for that. When we told her 'We can't do that for you' she wanted off the boat and a refund or she was going to call the Coast Guard and say we were kidnapping her.

    Question does Loon have any plans on doing SE ASIA or Australia New Zealand and or French Polynesia and close vicinity?
    Yes more of these get to know the crew video's would be awesome you could even add a couple per Loon episodes to always keep up to date.

    • @marvindebot3264
      @marvindebot3264 Рік тому +1

      The problem with that is the distances involved, it costs a lot to get there and even on location, the cruising between ports is a lot longer than the Med or Caribbean which is why most large yachts stick to those two destinations.

If I was to ever be an adult owner I’d be a bad owner because I like to do things for myself and would always want the crew to join in on the fun of the boat.

      @@Reckless_Ardor Not sure but the way it was described I took it as being a slightly older boat either being a few years old or having been through a refit. Either way she’s a beautiful boat and i honestly don’t see why anyone would need any bigger of a boat. I myself could very comfortably live on Loon 180. I’m sure Loon 221 is a bit more stable on the water though and capable of carrying more toys.
