I appreciate you doing such a good job showing the gems in the Med. I watch many sailing channels and I really love yours. I'm very impressed with what Turkey has to offer. Beautiful.

Looks like an amazing spot to cruise!

You two are absolutely delightful. Very much enjoy your films and the nice casual aspect to them. Thank you both.

Hey guys probably the best lithium batteries In the sailing community. Thank you so much simple and straightforward explanation in real life conditions always with the great smiles and good energy spead by millie crew. Thank you! Goodspeed and fair winds millies

Your video quality is excellent as well as the venues you chose to visit

We really enjoy your videos! informative , and beautifully filmed! So nice to see views of that part of the world and the fun things you guys get up to, as our little yacht is parked up for the winter here in New Zealand. Really appreciate all the effort you go to, to bring us along on your travels, as we sit here and watch by the fire.

Thank you for that lovely note. We are looking forward to getting to NZ, there are so many nice places in the world.

Fantastic place to anchor and explore. Your watering hole host was left uncomfortable but when you pin point the timing its obvious why... Ive just been watching Ant and Cid... 🤞🏼 he behaves himself for a while hes got a lot of healing to go through. Theres a couple of young UK financially challenged, sailing channels heading your way and looking for places to anchor and explore and possibly overwinter. Chasing currents 😁 and Wildings sailing 😎 on their old monohull and Ketch Cat respectively..they are both great couples and eager to learn as they go, living the life while they can on older boats they've sorted and sailed all the way themselves. 🧙‍♂️🇬🇧⛵ I know Ant keeps an eye on them 😉

Great video as always. When you get back through the canal let us know. It would be great to meet up.

We are making our way south from Kusadasi. FYI I purchased a dinghy from Truekit after your review and recommendation. Great videos.

Yes I saw, it’s a shame we had hoped to catch up with you all. We’re actually back in Gocek now, need parts for the outboard.

Thanks for the video, some nice shots there, and it certainly got me looking at the feasibility of Kas and Kekova... I like the idea of the water-borne re-provisioning and meals service..! Yes, you're right to avoid tying-off your long-line directly to the rocks and the chafe would be horrendous; one other solution (other than chain) is to retain a couple of lengths of the SS next time you replace the standing rigging, and fitted with eyes they can be a bit easier to handle than chain. How long with you be in Greece..? We're heading to the Ionian for our late summer charter at the end of September, but that might be getting close to your 90-day limited... Anyway, fair winds.

If you call in to Datca on your way back, I’d recommend a fabulous restaurant there called Eski Meyhane. It’s a little away from the tourist beachside places and looks a bit more subdued but don’t let that put you off. It was really next level food. Also very reasonable and the Tahini Soufflé dessert which sounds a bit weird was one of the nicest things I’ve ever eaten in my life. So give it a whirl if you’re in the area.

Unless they have extended the marina breakwater, we can say from experience ten years ago, that the marina is not a good place to be in a Westerly storm; waves breaking over the pontoons and, if you were on the windward side of the pontoon, dragging moorings.

can you elaborate on your webbing used in the video to shore tie, curious as to why you might choose this over 3 strand or any other rope, and maybe its alternate benefits .. thanks, really enjoying your videos...

@svfairisle

2 жыл бұрын

I’m actually just about to make the next Anchoring video which will focus on stern tying since that’s what we do 90% of the time out here and I know a lot of people are hesitant of doing it. So I’ll go into detail there but basically you need two stern lines and they need to be the best part of 100m long so webbing on a reel is definitely the best way to go. That amount of 3strand has to be on a roller to not get in a mess and that’s really bulky.

@@jeffmayart A drum of the loading bed strap like that takes up a lot less space and weighs a lot less when wet than rope I would suggest. As they use a run of anchor chain round the rocks and keep it under tension then chafing risk is minimised. The two inch stuff is pretty strong in tension ive used it for towing heavy cars...the colour effects the UV stability as with most manmade plastics.

They just chose to come and anchor there. You’re right they had no need to be so close there was plenty of room further along but it’s quite normal out here to stern tie so close your aft lines are overlapping so no one thinks much of it.
