Eli's Journal

Welcome to The CRÊW ⚓️

This channel is about slowing down, starting over, and learning something real from scratch.

After a breakup with the love of my life, I bought a 38’ Cabo Rico (1981) and moved aboard—despite having zero sailing experience. I haven’t set sail yet. Right now, I’m living on the boat in Miami, learning, fixing, failing, and preparing for The Last Great American Pirate Voyage up the East Coast.

Before this chapter, I lived a very different life. I was an award-winning director and creator in adult entertainment, operating at the highest level of a fast, extreme industry. I’ve seen success, chaos, and burnout up close.

This channel is the reset.

No fake mastery.
No highlight reels.
Just real progress, earned the hard way.

If you’re into:
	•	Boat life & learning from zero
	•	Reinvention after loss
	•	Freedom over comfort
	•	Building a new life with intention

You’re in the right place.
