For that type of boat it makes sense on every level

What fantastic scenery.The boat reminded me of the little paddle boats you get in small ponds on holidays.Just watched Jaws 2 last night can you imagine being on one of those boats? 🦈🦈Well done Mr Boo for finding your sea legs.Master Bates hasn't got a look in.😁👍

In this Episode: After Captain Tim and 1. Officer Mr. Boo leading their Crew to new Dimensions Mr. Boo buys in his Dreams the newest addon for Elton the little Darkblue 34m Yacht Lynx wich will be renamed in Boo 1 and Elton could be parked at the Sundeck. Tim in his Wisdom blured it out in the Background so Mr. Boo can have nice Dreams

What a great day! I haven’t been on a boat since decades. Now I miss it a bit.

different episode, but so much appreciated, I love sailing and solar boats are amazing, no noise and no costs with fuel, almost no maintenance. lacks speed but who cares, enjoying a weekend sailing and seeing the lovely views, what else can you ask? lol Tim, you story, what an adventure, you are more use to Elton and not so much into boats lol, nice folks the American couple and the French dude. outstanding drone captures, you guys rock!! thank you so much.

I saw you run a stop sign at 3:12! Oh well, I guess they can't take your license away. In Japan, the stop sign is triangle shaped and has "tomaru" for "stop" written on it. But early on, I couldn't read Japanese so well and thought it was a "yield" sign like in the USA. The other Japanese drivers were also not stopping which made me even more convinced it was a yield sign. I was fortunately disabused of this notion by a friend.

Helo Gents, Viewing this Me and Mon Ami episode [I am an addict of this channel], made me wonder, looking at this boat's canopy, why 'Seasonsolarboats' could not develop a canopy or roof to supplement power, albeit perhaps only as an alternate power resource for the AMI? --just a thought- after all it would also reduce direct sun exposure to the cabin, hence keep you both a tad protected from the sun?!?

Glad you are enjoying. These things exist, indeed airport ami’s have them the problem is they only generate enough power to power peripherals and would add a fair bit of weight not to mention problems for camera mounting/360 vision on the roof.

@@MeandMonAmi I have sailed from a young age, but due to back problems we had to sell our sailboat years ago, much to my sadness. But the water always keeps attracting!

A Very Good and Interesting Episode. It made me think of the Showaddywaddy song Hey Rock n Roll. When I was 13 I bought a Yacht, not a real one, it was for sailing on the Pond. It was about a foot and a half long. It was prebuilt and all I had to do was add a couple of parts to it. Two days later I took it to the Pond and sat it in the water. Within two and a half minutes it had completely sank. I lost my interest in sailing ships then.

Thanks everyone for the weekly charge it was 'Super Fun' Indeed! As the episodes roll by, it's very much a joy to discover what a special place we enjoy with you, and after almost 3 years of delightful adventures with friends from such a special place, I'm compelled to Abandon my little bit of the Soviet Union here in Portland and head your way. You think Mr. Boo might be able to Dig up a one or two bedroom Villa for about 800 euro/mo, a grounded aviator could tie now in for a few years? I loved the cruise, especially the Villa tour, but who couldn't help but wonder what "romantic' dreams for the world Mr. Macron and Chairman Xi Cooked-up in that Rothschild's Villa? BTW Tim, will your skippering disaster on the rocks in front of the Grand Hotel be in your autobiography?

John Masefield’s famous poem, “Sea-Fever” - has struck the hearts of everyone who’s been to sea. I was thinking about it when you set sail on the French Riviera waters: I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by, And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking. I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over. Quite apropos isn’t it, for your lovely outing there and its not often you guys get to live the dream and share it with us! 😊

Hi Tim and Richard... there's a beautiful and quite etherial quality about SILENCE in your vids - Ami; recent Scooter acquisition and now the boat - first "hit" me with the scooter and your remarking about the quietness of it vis a vis an ICE vehicle - same with the boat and the Ami . Its all so much more "civilised" isn't it ? I think that may be converting quite a few people along the way with the electric revolution... You may be remembered as much for this as for your documenting the beautiful places around you... Not being personal - (but you remarked on this yourself... when are you booked in for the tooth implant ? ! Should be "Buy Me An Appointment at the Dentist" ; rather than "Buy Me A Coffee ". ha ha ! Still the gap goes well with the nautical shirt and your self-styled Captain Pugwash image on your boat trip. A la foie prochaine, mes vieux !
