Is this personal cruising/yatching? Do they keep a vlog or blog? Looks like something I would be interested in watching

Personal yachting. There is no internet :) ... he would rather not have Starlink, the whole point is to get away (and he lives in the Yukon anyway, being away from connection is the whole point)

  I don't mean live updates (while that must exist at some level, at least for sharing with family), but a lot of blogs and channels that I follow from people living aboard do have some updates posting, either scheduled, weekly for example, when they have easy access to ports or internet in the sea (there are some expensive, high latency satellites), or no schedules, just updates when they feel like it [1]. No pressure anyway, is just something that I'm enthusiastic about :) If they ever put out some records on how it went after it finished, it would definitely be something that I would read [1]: https://100r.co/site/about_us.html https://100r.co/site/about_us.html

There are no "ports with internet". > there are some expensive, high latency satellites When I drove around Africa, any kind of useful satellite internet was going to cost more than the entire 3 year expedition right around the whole continent cost! (Starlink changes that, but as I said, they're not interested) >If they ever put out some records on how it went after it finished, it would definitely be something that I would read Dozens of private yatchs sail it every year, there's plenty of info out there

The Tally Ho fella talks about taking his boat up north once it is finished a lot, and I'm sure there will be a lot of high quality vlog content, but that might not be for another year or more.
