How to Solo Sloop Ghost Ships

    Good day Shipmates!

    I created a video on how to Solo Sloop Ghost Ships by using just your bail bucket.

    I give all credit to Straw Hat Blake, it was his post here on the forums that inspired me to sail out and try it myself. Now I am sharing my experience and what I do to take on those Ghost Ships on your own. I have even taken out 3 Ghost Ship Clouds using this technique.

    Enjoy!

    I appreciate the effort to educate others, +1.

    Tho' let me say something about the format of your video... since I'm employed as a process manager whose profession is to create instructional material... 15 minutes is way too long, it should be 1 minute and you should focus on and highlight only the most important steps of this particular activity (beating skelly ships with a bucket), because from a learner's perspective all this information is new thus it's very important that the teacher shares only the core information.

    @bumbumbac I actually enjoyed the full video. Honestly the struggles are what kept me engaged in the video and how he persevered through those difficulties .

    I understand what you are saying as well. Maybe those difficulties could be a 'blooper reel' or something at the end. Get your point across early and have them opt in to watch the full length video, or a link to the full length?

    Yeah I totally get it to keep it short and sweet. I as well am an instructor. I purposely made it "uncut" so everyone can see exactly how it's done from start to finish. I may make a short and quick version later on. But thank you everyone for the inputs! I'll use em in my next videos. Cheers!

    Using water bucket takes too long. Its a good strategy though but nuch quicker to have half mast, full lock and just pepper with cannon balls.

    If you are consistently a good shot you can kill it in under 5 minutes.

    Great job @HazardousMatey you deserve a metal for going up against those ghost fleets solo back then😅 The Seas aren't as unforgiving now as they were back in our day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkIa-DQFshE

    Pretty soon were going to have to put these skills to use against Captain Flameheart and the Burning Blade🍻

    I second what others have said, the video could have been shorter, also wording is important, these are skeleton ships in the skeleton fleet.

    Ghost ships are very different. :)

    @capt-kamoba Ghost Ships didn’t exist back then my friend😅 And a lot of people were saying that I was faking my solo fleets at the time. So I think he wanted to provide proof with footage
