I've watched Gus' videos since day one and I am fairly confident he does not have any sort of help beyond what he shows on camera. The guy does NOT keep his yachts in Bristol shape -- he simply keep them running and serviceable. He works for five months nonstop to save up for his trips south, he runs the Broward at 8 knots to limit fuel consumption, and he anchors out most of the time to avoid docking fees. He makes a little money from You Tube, has some videos sponsored by advertisers, and occasionally an equipment supplier gives him equipment for free or for a discount. He is an excellent mechanic/repairer and does almsot all the work himself but has the boat hauled once a year for bottom paint, zincs etc. I really enjoy how Gus is grateful and amazed at the life he has created and how much he loves chugging along on a passage.
