Do you ever watch U-tube? Do you like subject-specific content without commercial interruptions? If so, try a U-tube premium subscription. What to watch? You can find most any topic covered on U-tube. My favorite channels (I’ll mention eleven) cover such topics as (1) sailing, (2) music, (3) people / cultures encountered while travelling, (4) farming / animals, (5) unique living environment / craftsmanship / architecture, (6) cars, and (7) history - old photographs.

Now they have been renovating a 39’ sailing boat that is nearing launch on journeys across oceans and around the world. They have been hard at work building Magic Carpet II for over four years.
