    I love your videos, I find them calming and enjoyable watching you live your best life compared to a lot of the other rubbish on the internet. You may have already done this on an earlier video, but why did you pick a Nordhaven 51 over say other sizes.

    Love the content of these videos. Flexible solar panels are not long lasting, particularly on a saloon roof due to overheating (talking from my own experience in NZ). I suggest looking at a bifacial solar panel binnie, as now I do not like other cruisers in the bay running their gensets (noise travels a long way across the water).

    One of the best. Still stuck in hospital after the car cash . Your opening segment brought a real smile to my face, first in awhile. Montenegro looks incredible and the drone shots transported me there with you . Your channel is the first I look for at the beginning of each week. The two of you are a great double act with great humour and fantastic rapport. Safe travels and see you next week. Yours from Scotland.

    Fun! Fun! Fun! You could have at least checked to see if the mermaid was alive. I love the underwater drone. It is hard to get a perspective of the size of the fish.

    It seems like the throttle on the runabout is in an inconvenient place for Mrs R to reach. It’s like watching my Mother reach for the door to the glove box in the Lincoln. Never mind the screaming from all the passengers about the big ditch.

    Tip: The 'subscribe' animation you use at the end of your videos is designed to be used with the 'Chroma Key' feature of your video editing software. This blanks out the green areas so you can 'overlay' the animation over other video or images. In your case I'd recommend some drone footage beauty shots of your motor yacht.

    Dear you two.... these videos are getting better and better.... every time there is a new episode, it's like 45-60 min of holiday in front of the screen. And I who thought Greece and Italy were the countries to visit in the Med.... Montenegro really looks so nice.! And your daily life is like a dream for us "youtube boaters"... And Mark - nice to see you shopping as well, even if it is for proper means of hydration 🙂... And thank you for keeping the channel so alive, it must be somewhat of a job to keep filming and posting... thank you very much!!

    Not to be picky but daytime length at the equator remains almost constant in all seasons (it varies by about 8 minutes). The nearer the poles one gets, the shorter the winter days and the longer the summer days. In Montenegro in June, sunrise is 5.30am and sunset is 8.00pm whereas in December, sunrise is 7.00am and sunset is 4.12pm
