You may have already seen or heard about M/Y Laurel being a part of Operation Topaz, a Hurricane Relief plan put together by YachtAid Global, helping those affected by Dorian in the Bahamas. Dylan and I documented a crazy 48 hours of the Laurel crew loading and delivering 50 tons of supplies, as well as picking up, caring for and delivering 50 rescue dogs back to Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Florida. We could not be prouder to be a part of MY Laurel, led by Captain Roy Hodges and Chief Officer Wikus Botes. There is still a long way to go and Bahamas still need our help. Two ways to get involved are donating to YachtAid who continue to aid the remaining affected areas of the Bahamas, as well as Big Dog Ranch who are continuing to rescue and rehabilitate as many dogs from the Bahamas.

To my filming partner, Dylan, who I have known and worked with for the past 2 years, I am so glad we finally got to work on a video together. I had full faith and trust in you through this entire process, and I could not be prouder of the end product which is a complete mash up of both our strengths and styles, we put. I really hope you can feel the heart that was put into this from the both of us. If you would like, please feel free to subscribe to our Youtube channels and follow on Instagram for more.

First Mate Denzil Baynes worked with filmmakers Sean T Johnston and Gary Johnson to help tell the story of an unexpected day thirty miles out at sea where quick decisions meant the difference between life and death for some unfortunate creatures that had fallen foul of mankind's callousness on the oceans. On October 12th 2019, "Aurora Saves" took home the Grand Prize at the Nordhavn Film Festival in Dana Point, California, and also won Best Long Film at the Adrift Film Festival in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on October 23rd.

No day workers were harmed in the making of this video.
