Getting aboard is only part of the problem. In Boy Boy's Cuba documentary, Aleksa and Dan finally leave Mexico with humanitarian supplies, only for seasickness, diesel fumes and an engine failure to complicate the crossing.

"Can I Sneak This Boat Through A Military Blockade?" remains the channel's most actively watched video, four months after publication. Aleksa teams up with Progressive International to transport food and medicine, but the practical journey takes some detours: boat repairs at Isla Mujeres, a long bus trip to Progreso and inspections by the Mexican Navy. Once the engine fails at sea, a Mexican naval vessel helps with repairs. The film also contains a sponsored Ground News segment.

That mixture of political explanation and uncomfortable first-hand experience continues to bring views during a week with no new uploads. Boy Boy added about 81,000 views across its catalogue, while its subscriber count stayed unchanged at 1.31 million. Daily viewing is running below its usual level.

Among nearby documentary and journalism channels, RocaNews and Channel 4 Documentaries are drawing above their usual daily audiences. Boy Boy had a smaller viewing week than the other channels in that group, with older uploads doing all the work.

Beyond the Cuba voyage, "We Made Our Friend An International Fugitive" and "We Tried Out CIA Torture Techniques" remain among its most active titles: the archive's appetite for politically charged, personally involved experiments hasn't required a new instalment.
