Nice guys, thanks for watching! Hope to catch up someday :)

I started my career in video production back in the 1980's. It was a real treat to hear the stories about "the good old days" of video shooting, editing and broadcast. I shudder now to think of how many hours I spent in edit suites, much to the chagrin of my family at the time. Your hard work and dedication to producing quality episodes has always stood out to me. Keep up the great work, Delos crew!

Brian, you should become a talk show host! That was a great interview. Paul and Sheryl were fun to listen to, and so informative. And their history in documenting their sailing life, WOW. I'm old enough to remember all that old technology. At least they didn't have to start with really old FILM movie cameras! 8 - O

Distant Shores TV I would like to take this opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you! I remember watching you guys on the travel channel etc. and being fascinated by the content. You guys really are responsible for making it seem possible for a young man 1000 miles from the ocean to one day own a boat and live the sailing/travelling lifestyle. Your efforts have enriched my life and I’m sure the lives of many others, you should be proud of your accomplishments.

@@zorroonmilkavitch1840 You mentioned the key: Brian on his game; he does his homework, has an approachable personality, invites people to talk rather than firing monotone questions, and even those without any knowledge about sailing nor broadcasting pick up on those qualities. Good comment! (Your's too, 😉😆👍)

We SOOO Love Delos and would love to become patreons, but we make a meager income and are supporting grandchildren who live with us. But we LOVE what you do! We are living our dream through you all, as we are land bound. Thank you all for giving us our happy place!!!!!!!! If you come to Louisiana we would love to meet you and bring our grandchildren to meet you!

We met Paul and Sheryl at the Annapolis Boat show once, they were so kind!

I started watching Cheryl and Paul on Cottage Life tv in Canada... they are what led me to search other sailing videos on KZread and finding SV Delos... I’m such a fan of both so it’s wonderful to see them together! 😍

wow, didn't realize how much work goes into editing and all. I'm even more grateful now for what you do :)

Well done DELOS Best KZread channels together..,and two different sail boats... so difficult to chose from! Cheers

My worlds are colliding! I’ve watched Distant Shores on tv since the 90s, and here they are with you guys! Love it!! 💗

Distant Shores was the first sailing show for me. I can't believe I get to rediscover them all over again! 🍻

Paul and Sheryl are from our hometown and we have sat in on many of their presentations at the Toronto boat show and we even saw them and their second distance shores boat when we were in the Bvis!! It’s do great to see channels get together!!

Bryan is a great interviewer. Great questions and let's the people respond and interjects when needed. Well done

Great interview, all! These guys are true professionals and pioneers in the field. Thanks for sharing!

An interesting comment Brian said was something like, "we started sailing to disconnect, and now because of our lifestyle and profession, we find it hard to disconnect". Paul added "people want instant replies". So true, we are all on a 24/7 leash. Great episode gang! You have so much in common, and so many experiences between the 4 of you! Congrats!

The Pioneers of Sailing video / TV! I used to watch these shows on TV as a much younger man and thought it was so cool to go around the world in a sailboat! Thanks for the video guys. Interesting stories told.

I onley have 1 real word for you . RESPECT for al your hard work and all the fantastic episodes the last 7/8 years 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Respect for Karin, for keeping the camera steady on het knees! Brian is Mr. Zen as always; love it. Brian would a great interviewer indeed. He understands the art of listening. Many thanks! Hope you have a great time with Sierra, despite the probable shortage of sleep ♥.

And this is why I watch and subscribe to both your channels. Have been watching DS for decades . Cheers

OMG, this is so awesome. Love the old photos of Paul and Cheryl.

Like others here, I got hooked on sailing through Travel and Discovery channels' broadcasts of "Distant Shores." I have been fortunate enough to travel to many of the locations I first saw through their lens, and it was a great pleasure to be able to tell them that in-person at the Annapolis Sailboat Show in 2017. The best part of Paul and Sheryl is that their love of the cruising lifestyle, sailing, and travel, and sharing it with others, remains undiminished after almost 3 decades. I look forward to watching Delos grandchildren 2 or 3 decades from now in real time on my holographic display!

THE BEST CHANNEL ON THE WEB! Brain, you are the best inspiration for everyone and you have let me see the world for free - Utube. I bought a shirt to support you - I love my shirt - great quality and have posted my sticker right on my computer. I will buy more shorts from you Brian. THANKS for what you have done. You have left a mark on humanity. I will check out Distant Shore if I can get past Delos.

Very good interview, Brian. As a retired video editor it was interesting to hear them talk about how they got started. I spent 35 years in the business starting in 1969! The changes in technology were immense. For most of the time I worked with analogue tape. First it was 2" reel to reel, then 1", then 3/4" or 1/2" cassette, and finally digital tape. By the 90s digital editing was appearing which was an enormous change. With tape if you wanted to add a shot in the middle, you had to re-edit everything following! We had computers to control the tape, so a lot could be automated, but it still took time. The cost of a tape edit suite seems to have been similar in Europe. Around £1K per 8 hour day. The biggest change from my point of view, is that editing on tape from the camera originals would get you about 1 minute of finished material per day, whereas now it is about 1 minute per hour. When I retired the technology had just reached the stage of being able to edit on FinalCut Pro at full 1080. Before that you would have to work at a lower resolution to produce an "off-line" cut which would then be conformed from the HD tapes or files. The other thing that happened is that I got to edit actual film! this was in the 90s, and the film would be digitized so I could edit it on a computer. This would produce a negative cutting list, the neg would be cut and then digitized to allowed the sound work to be done. Now you can shoot in 8K, edit and do all the effects digitally and then project digitally. And even more amazing to me, I can shoot in 720 with my still camera, and edit it on my laptop! Keep up the good work guys. I love the quality of your channel. If I was still in the business, I would not hesitate to hire you to shoot and edit for me. I used to sail back in the day, mainly round the south coast of England, and in the Channel, but also in the Med. Watching your stuff brings back good memories.

Brian, Fantastic interview with the pioneers of sailing videos. I've watched Paul and Sheryl many times on AWE here in the States. Great story tellers.

Thanks for all the great times and you putting all the effort into showing people how great it is on the water to be sailing.

svDelos and distantShores are the two pioneering channels that converted many to sailing.

You covered things about the making of these videos that I hadn't even considered. You make it look so easy but I didn't realise the amount of work involved in these 25 minute shows. The editing, the music, the monetisation; The hidden soap-opera behind the scenes... So much more personal stuff I'd love to know... Perhaps you're saving stuff for a future book? I've been playing catch-up with Delos since discovering your channel a few months back now and it's amazing just how the quality has improved since the very beginning. I do hope you keep those early ones on here as they show just what is possible for beginners; something to aspire to. To do all of this and keep your boat aflaot is just simply amazing; you guys must have super-powers. I'm loving your channel immensely; the TV hasn't been on once since I found you.

Hey Matthew, thanks so much and glad you liked the interview. It is indeed a labor of love to make these videos, but in return we have really gotten so much more out of the journey because of it.... Yeah it has been an interesting evolution. Sometimes I go back and watch the older ones too. I think it's important to remember where we all started! Funny that you mention the book idea. We started working on a concept last year to cover the first 3 years of the trip, where we were only writing blogs and not making any videos. I really want to cover the personal struggle I went through trying to figure out if selling everything, buying a boat, and quitting my job was the right decision. I hope to cover all this and also the early years of us really struggling financially, stopping to work, and how we started everything. It's been fantastic to reflect back on the beginning of the trip and how new, fresh, and very uncertain everything was. I hope the concept is interesting to others out there. Fair winds and thanks so much for watching! Capt. Brian

Well this Delos video is an eye opener. To Paul and Sheryl Shard a very big applause. Watching and listen to the differences then and now is an eye opener. You mentioned the commercial side a bit is another hurdle to deal with. This Interview by Bryan and Karin is so enlightening. I do recall playing with editing real to real back in the 80's. The modern youtuber should have a good look at this video. Get an understanding of spending 3 years to get a 1 hour documentary floored me. To the two sailing channels I have watched for past couple years thank you for all your effort and time.

I live in Texas dfw dont have a sail boat no plans to ever sail, yet I enjoy all tech about sailing and feel I've learned so much from watching sailing channels, that has enriched my understanding of the earth and cultures around the world.

great video guys! it is amazing to see the shift from cassette SD to uploading 4k. I can only imagine the time involved in working with older equipment. Even editing something from a few months ago can be taxing not to mention 3 years. It is so easy to film your personal adventure and very hard to get it all edited as more time passes. Some useful tips guys thanks for sharing.

Distant shores are just legend, they probably have sooo many stories.

Legends! I remember catching a couple of episodes on PBS awhile back... Stopped everything I was doing to watch. Love it!

@SVDelos Great interview! Loved hearing Distant Shores history! It's remarkable how far technology has come in such a short time. When I started selling fax machines in 1983 I was often asked: "that's great but who would I fax"? When I started selling offshore cruising boats in 1987 there was no internet, GPS, chart plotters, AIS or sat-com!

Thanks so much. Love the history and evolution behind the 2 channels. You all bring so much enjoyment to so many sailors and dreamers. Great job all of you. Cheers.

Good one! Great to get some insight into the kind of effort it takes and a reminder that it won’t be as good as you wish it at the beginning... accept that your on a journey learning a new skill. ❤️🙏🏼

Thanks for sharing this authoritative account of what it takes to do what Distant Shores and Delos do.

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!! for this very explanatory video and highlighting that for all of those (us) committed youtube video channel's that A LOT of time and yes $costs$ go in to producing video's for people to watch/enjoy anywhere!! THANK YOU! 😀👌🍻⛵

Love Distant Shores and their videos! Very informative and legendary. It's also amazing how Sheryl kept her hair stile throughout the years!

WOW! What a unique perspective to get. Paul and Sheryl definitely deserve the title of pioneers! Thanks for sharing their story, Delos crew!!!

Thanks for the inspiration! It’s amazing how technology made it so much more accessible for both creators and viewers. It seems the challenges of being discovered and to be able to make a living out of the work you put in are so different. Also, it’s good to hear that the time from shooting footage to pushing publish most of times isn’t “the daily vlog from yesterday” for you guys either. We’ve been struggling with keeping up the edits as we sail almost every day and shoot gigabytes every week. Finding the balance to sit down and stay on anchor and NOT EXPLORE THIS WEEK is very challenging we found. Thanks for the interview! These words keep us going! 😘

Watching Distant Shores brought me to Delos! My two first (and favorite) channels!

That was some great insight from a lovely couple and from all reports, legends of the seas. There sure is a lot of work that goes into these productions and always show my gratitude with a thumbs up and a comment if I have one. Whilst not always at sea in his adventures, if you have never heard of him, do some research on a man by the name of Alby Mangels. He set sail in the 70's on a late 1800's yacht that he navigated with compass and sextant on what he called a world safari. Alby was THE man and no situation flustered Alby. He just got shit done with a whole lot less than what is available today. cheers.

I started my sailing video binge-watching with Distant Shores! I love this crossover! :)

One couple pioneered the art of sailing lifestyle videos the other perfected it.

Although I am more of an aeroplane person, I love to watch sailing videos. Watched Paul and Shery in the old days here in South Africa as well. Nice program, good job.

seems like such a nice lady! thanks for sharing, will be shure to follow Distant Shores.

Fantastic introduction to the history of making sailing movies! This illustrates the enormous effort and dedication that is needed by those who decide to do this. It’s not easy and the fact that it looks so easy is proof of that, but this is the best taste of how hard the effort is that I have seen. Also, if very smooth and deliberate transition to solicitation for funds! A better job I have never seen.

Enjoyed them at the Toronto Boat show... very nice people great ambassadors for Canada. Thanks for interviewing them... very informative!

Love this, great interview! Its shocking that they don't have more KZread subscribers and i was wondering if they were still on broadcast.. guess they are :)

Two of my favourite channels, best of luck to you both

Ahhhh Kazza & Brian, that was such an eye-opener; almost makes a person scared to KZread and edit. You could get lost in the editing process all by itself. No wonder why you guys are showing episodes from months ago. Thank you for once again stepping outside the box and doing this excellent interview with Paul and Sheryl. When I was a kid we had 8mm film which you had to physically cut with a scalpel, each frame you wanted to edit. It was great fun, especially sellotaping them back together. Animation had to be done physically too, filming objects/writing/Plasticine models etc a couple of frames at a time. I loved it a lot. So easy now tho, gives a lot more time to do other things lol, like watching your shows. Damn....I love technology :)

Great interview Brian, and what a delightful couple to interview. Really enjoyed it.

I have mad respect for Distant Shores. They are amazing! Thank you so much for doing this Breeyawn. Hey, that brings up an interesting point. I saw a video where the Senor Brady thing was mentioned. Ridiculously vague. "Before rolling burritos". Useless. Grrr. And while I am super disappointed with Brady's Delos tanline (do it again, please!!) from Season 1, I'm super interested in the evolution of the term Breeyawn.

Loved the chat,,.i have learned so much in just this one video..Month in to watching your channel, from the start,.and this is how far i am now,once i have cough up i will most certainly subscribe,..you are living the livelong dream i have had and never did ,but no regrets here..keep up the good work.Hennie.

Thank you for being so inspiring... we bought a drone and fly it around our Hobie... sail on SF Bay... did our first trip to the BVIs in April that was EPIC and can’t wait to go again and retire on a boat together!!!!

I do love your 30 min videos. It really feels like a tv show.

Really outstanding interview-fascinating to see the transition over time. Absolutely loved this. Used to watch Distant Shores on broadcast/cable when my children were just babes. Love following them on here now.

Great interview Brian! Such an amazing insight into the world of a quality you tube videographer. It is not just point shoot and make some bucks. It is a lot of hard work to generate a high quality of work with a significant investment in camera gear, computers, and software to get the job done and keep people coming back for more. SV Delos you have done such a fantastic job at this. Distant shores I love both Paul and Sheryl as well and you both put out a great product as well! Fair winds and best wishes!
