First try refreshing your browser or try another browser. If that doesn't work, read the following.
All the videos on my website are embedded from Youtube. From what little information I can find Youtube is testing turning off videos for certain users that are not logged into a Youtube account or using a VPN to view videos. If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel
Description
Daniel is a solo sailor who's been living on a 38-foot 1984 Beneteau Idylle sailboat for the past 4 years. His boat and lifestyle are set up to maximize the amount of time he can spend exploring off-grid: he has 1000 watts of solar panels for electricity, a watermaker to create freshwater, a wood-fired grill for cooking outside, he grows and sprouts some of his fresh food, and he catches the majority of his protein by free-dive spearfishing.
Although he does solo sail his boat, he says the liveaboard lifestyle is much more fun when traveling with a buddy boat, and he also takes on crew half the time. He bought the boat for $23,000 USD, and has refitted it several times to get it where it is today. And by keeping his expenses low, he's able to earn a living from documenting his adventures on YouTube and Patreon with his Adventureman Dan social media project:

Living on a sailboat isn't always easy. Daniel says some of the challenges include constantly monitoring the weather, dealing with sleepless and stormy nights, battling loneliness, and always repairing things that are breaking on the boat.
Daniel is currently sailing in the Bahamas, but eventually plans to cross over into the Pacific and maybe head North towards Alaska, where he was first inspired to buy a sailboat, and pursue an ocean harvesting life on the water.
All footage and photos in this video were provided by Daniel :)
Thanks for watching!
