The crew has changed over the years but Brian is still aboard with his new daughter and wife, crew members have come and gone, some with the intention of a short trip on the boat but ended up staying.

The crew holds contests to find new crew members and crew members have turned the blog into a business with writers, businessmen, and photographers all becoming part of the crew. They spent 2022 in the Caribbean and United States making boat repairs and isolating, released their 300th video and they have created a four-part docu-series called 80 North.
