Cruising Off Duty

You're officially a part of the Support Crew! We're so excited to have you on board and can't wait to bring you in on what's been going on behind the scenes. When your lifetime contribution gets to $200 you will be sent a Cruising Off Duty T-shirt.  When your lifetime contribution gets to $500 you will get invited to set up a time to come sailing on our boat in Kingston Ontario.  If you can't make it to the boat we will try and find another gift to send you. As a crew member you get access to our Patreon Only Feed, which is like a private Facebook group for the entire Cruising Off Duty crew. It’s a place where only Patreons can interact and we’ll give you first priority with our responses here. If you have a question, this is where you can ask it and be assured you will get a response.

When we see you in person, we’ll make sure to offer up a hardy handshake or a big BIG hug from me and Janice (I’m guessing Janice will get more hug requests since our viewership seems to be 94% male), and until then, we’ll give you a virtual high-five.

Show more  They say Money can’t buy love…but I think you just proved that wrong. We are truly grateful for anyone that would even consider this pledge, you’ve literally (and figuratively) moved us. With support like this we, no longer have to work at our regular jobs and can retire now and expedite our plans to start sailing around the world immediately. You see a tremendous value in what we create along with the knowledge we’ve gained and shared over the past and you see the value in Cruising Off Duty in the future. We can’t even think of a proper title to give someone so generous, but since you are financially supporting the channel, you deserve to be the President of the Production Studio. With this pledge amount, you're allowing us to focus solely on Cruising Off Duty and not worry about getting paid sponsors for videos where we have to say what the sponsor wants us to say. With this new freedom, we will not only be able to sail the world now but be able to afford to keep our camera gear up to top specifications and perhaps even get help with filming so we spend more time in front of the camera experiencing the world and bringing to the viewers than peering at it through a viewfinder. We honestly don’t know what reward we can offer for such a gracious pledge, but here’s our current attempt: All of the previous rewards but more: The hug mentioned in the above level but, Oh who am I kidding? At this level you are getting a long (bordering on uncomfortably long) hug from both Janice and I. I will try and hold back the tears. When your lifetime contribution gets to $200 you will be sent a Cruising Off Duty T-shirt.  When your lifetime contribution gets to $500 you will get invited to set up a time to come sailing on our boat in Kingston Ontario.  If you can't make it to the boat we will try and find another gift to send you.
