​Welcome to The Long Road Home. My name is Chris Verdin and I work offshore on a tugboat. For years, I’ve lived a life of "28 and 14"—meaning I spend two-thirds of my life away from my family, missing birthdays, milestones, and the simple magic of being home. ​I’m tired of being a visitor in my own house. ​The Mission: Starting January 1st, I am documenting every single day of this year. From the loud, grease-stained engine rooms and the isolation of the ocean to the 14 days of pure joy when I finally get to hold my family again. ​Why the AI Voice? Life on a tugboat is loud. Between the generators and the engines, it's impossible to get clear audio. I use AI voiceovers to tell my story over the sounds of the ship so you can hear the heart behind the hustle. ​Join the Journey: Every view, like, and subscriber brings me one step closer to the ultimate goal: Getting off the boat for good. I’m filming my way back to the people who are waiting for me. I hope you’ll walk this road with me.
