    Proud of you Bobby for keeping going. Must be tough to just split with Steph. Chin up buddy we are all behind you. I’m not sure how behind your UA-cam videos are in reality, but enjoying your content. All the best from the U.K.

    Thanks Bobby for the good words about all your crew. Some people are not cut out for life at sea, but at least they tried it. What ever has happened in the past to any of your crew, was meant to be. You as the Captain, and as a man have stood tall and done yourself proud.

    Nice one Bobby. And I agree with you no one needs to say negative things about past or future crew that you are or have sailed with. We do not know the whole story only what you show on camera. I believe you're a good person and treat people with respect.
    this island you are at now looks nice as they all do. I hope super yacht didn't do any damage to your anchor. I guess these tight docks something most likely will happen

    Hey Bobby, I've been watching your videos for a number of years. When I found your channel I went back and watched them all from the very beginning. I am a fan. I really appreciate how well you treat your crew. I am sorry Ella had to leave. While it was clear you both were trying to figure it out ... feel more comfortable with each other ... I was seeing the connections you two were making. I think if Ella had been able to stay, you'd have made another great friend. I hope, if she wants, that Ella is able to return. Best to you, Michael

    Good sailing, I have sailed a lot among the Greek islands alone, sailing alone has its charm. The wind can pick up quickly, be careful on long stretches. As usual, it's nice to follow you on your journey. I am on my way to the Greek islands in a sailboat, just now passing Marbella in Spain in fine weather and 13 m/s wind, I am just now alone in the boat but going to pick up 2 friends in Malaga. Have sailed from Oslo Norway.:) Have a safe and good sailing trip:)

      The unfortunate truth is that he doesn't pick winners every time. He's had some that really lacked personality and didn't do anything recently. Hence the comments. The last one wasn't as bad as the girl on the Neel 43 trimaran but she wasn't much better. The most happy the recent one to leave seemed was when she was announcing her "family emergency" that was forcing her to leave after one week. No one believes that she realized boat life especially on a 37' monohull wasn't for her with a complete stranger.

    Some solo sailing is a nice change. As far as comments on crew, my opinion is if you are going to put yourself on a channel like sailing doodles, you need to be ready for the negative as well as the positive. There is a definite line between being constructive and straight mean, and I agree, mean isn't necessary. I think comments about her being uninterested are valid, but she did come off classy and an all around decent woman. Both can be true.
