Under the Sea

One of the most rewarding things to come out of my YouTube videos was a comment from a viewer who told me that because of one of my Akumal Bay videos, his or her family (no name given) was heading there for vacation. As it turned out, they were going to be at the resort at the same time as DW and myself.

"If you see me," I replied, "please come and say 'hello.'"

We never met. It's a small resort but big enough to miss one another.

An even bigger reward came, while DW and I were there, when we met a very nice couple from Montreal. In one of our conversations, one of them told me that she watches YouTube more than network or cable television.

"Maybe you can take a look at my channel," I suggested.

The very next day, our new friend told me that she had checked out our channel, and said, "When we were researching this resort, we had already watched one of your videos." It helped them make the final decision to book.

I'm honoured.

This weekend, I finally put together a short video that captures DW's and my time in the bay, exploring the myriad sea life and searching for turtles. On one of our outings, our Montreal friends came with us (though, you won't see them in this video: perhaps, in the next one).

It's only two-and-a-half minutes: give yourself a break (I suppose you're already on one if you're reading this post).

Happy Wednesday!
