Thanks Sam and Sheni 😊❤️

Thanks Michelle 🥰 The ketch was pretty epic wasn't it, and the ship's cat to match 😻

We loved it - some of the best few weeks we've had in the Med!

Sure. It's 36°43.672'N and 28°37.395'E On Navily it's called Philip anchorage: www.navily.com/mouillage/philip-anchorage/51306 Enjoy! 😊

Cheers Colin, really appreciate it! 👍

Cheers Neil! 👍

Thanks Steven! We try to get all our jobs for the season done in the yard otherwise we get too distracted 😅

You are 😍

Haha please reassure the kids that we've been going slow on purpose because Greece is very nice, and we have plenty of time 😅

Haha it probably was the same cat! He was well known around the Aegina yard apparently and an expert climber 😅 Good luck with the bilge alarm install 👍

Cheers Jonesy! 🍻 Hope you're going well.

Thanks Amanda and Dick! Hope you enjoy the rest of your season 😊

Cheers Steven! 😊

Cheers Nick! If you watch the rest of our videos you'll see that we haven't gone down the click bait path. Occasionally I'm wearing bathers in the videos, because that's generally what we wear in summer when we're swimming off the boat. No different to Ryan being shirtless on the boat 90% of the time 😂

Cheers Stam! 😊

Haha we may be slightly behind on the videos (by about 6 months), probably because we only make one every 6 weeks 😂 It's definitely April 21st 2024 in Greece, but still feels like winter 😅 Enjoy the endless Hawaiian summer!

Thanks so much! Our boat is registered in Australia. For Schengen last year we did: 90 days Greece 90 days Turkey 21 days Greece 90 days between UK & Australia This year our rough plan is: 90 days Greece 90 days Albania, Montenegro, Tunisia 90 days between Italy and Spain If you have any more questions we're happy to help! You can also message us on Instagram if you have it. We're @sailingwishfulthinking on there. All the best with your plans! 😊

@sailingwishfulthinking I was thinking Polish flag as other boaters reckon the process is alot easier than going through AMSA. I have no plans to sail back to Aus. I just want to sail around the Med for several years and then sell the boat in the EU. Insurance seems to be an issue was it alot easier under the Aus flag?

@magzie1126 We wanted to register our boat in Australia just in case we sail it home 😅 So we didn't consider Polish registration and are unsure of the costs/process/ insurance ramifications of this. We insured our boat with Haven Knox Johnston in the UK, with Topsail as the broker. We also got an offer from Pantaenius but Haven Knox Johnston was a lot cheaper. The AMSA registration process wasn't too difficult, there were just a lot of forms and you need to post them original documents, so it's best to do this from Australia. It also took several weeks for them to issue us registration and post us the original certificate, so it's best to do it well in advance of when you plan to launch your boat. It cost us about $1800 from memory but is a one-off fee. AMSA has a good website with all the steps to follow: www.amsa.gov.au/vessels-operators/ship-registration/register-vessel-australian-general-shipping-register They also let you email them the application for "pre-approval" before you post the originals so you can fix any mistakes before posting. This helps to speed things up. Hope this helps 😊

@sailingwishfulthinking Thanks, guys, for replying. I have taken note. Once I get to Turkey, will start looking into it. Look forward to the next video. 🍻

Cheers Steven! 😊

Thanks Darren! Hope you're going well 😊

Hi, it's called Travel Boast 😊

No worries, glad it helped! Enjoy your charter! 😊

Thanks Sam and Sheni! 😍

Thanks! No worries! 😊

Cheers 😊 Definitely recommend visiting Turkey!

No worries Peter 👍

No worries Peter! 😊 Yes they are definitely thorough 😂

Thanks again 😁 Agree! It's such a good effort running these businesses on the remote coast, amazing entrepreneurs and hard workers!

Cheers! It was one of our favourite spots so far, couldn't believe there was no one else there! 😊

@@sailingwishfulthinking incedibile!

Thanks so much 😁 How great is Turkey, we loved it too! They're definitely creative with their business ideas around boating!

Cheers!! 😁 We find voice overs work for us better mostly because it can be hard to talk to the camera while you're trying to do something and it can be a bit embarrassing to do it out in public 😅😂

Yeah it was pretty bad. Their clients were on board so it would be interesting to know what they told them 😅 😂

@@sailingwishfulthinking yeah they probably blamed it on you so they didn’t look as incompetent as they were!

Haha don't worry we've tightened it more since. Went well for the rest of the season 😊

It was pretty epic transiting the canal in our own boat! 😊

Thanks! It can be tricky, especially when it's windy. We got lots of practice in this year luckily, gets a bit easier each time 😊

Thanks so much, glad you're enjoying the videos! Good luck with your boat purchase plans! 😊

Cheers Steven! 😊 ⛵️

Thanks so much! 😊

Hi guys, congrats, this is exciting! 😊 If you like you can message us on Instagram if you have it, our username is sailingwishfulthinking 😊

Cheers! Congrats on the Moody purchase, hope you have lots of great adventures with her 😊 Have an awesome time in Tassie in November! Great time of year to visit 👍

Thanks Drew! 😊

Cheers Steven! 👍

Thanks Nige and Donna! Agree that a safe anchorage is crucial, it was brutal doing a 9 hour sail after hardly any sleep! We have been really happy with how the Moody has handled so far 😊 Turkey videos are in the works, we've been really busy with lots of visitors but are hoping to finish the next video soon 😊 We have been putting photos and short videos on Instagram in the meantime if you're interested 😊 Thanks again!

Cheers guys! 😊

Glad to hear you are enjoying the videos Nige. We might see you out on the water next year! The Moody has held up really well this season. We spent a lot of time in the boat yard completing maintenance tasks, which meant we haven't had to do much at all out on the water. Now that we have spent six months living on the boat, I have a big list of upgrades for next year! Ryan

Hi Nige and Donna, thanks for watching the videos! The holding tank has worked fine and has allowed us to sail in Turkey this season. We haven't had any issues getting pumped out, and no leaks! I built the shelf just slightly above the waterline to maximise the capacity of the tank and to ensure a good flush when dropping the waste at sea. I would recommend finding a tank that has an inspection opening already installed as this is the biggest risk of leakage. We used a petrol tank which did not have an inspection opening large enough to get the fittings in, so I had to cut and fit an opening. I would also recommend plumbing in a bypass to the tank so that you can direct deposit when at sea. I am planning on installing a bypass on ours for next season. Currently our forward head is our direct to sea toilet and aft head is the holding tank toilet. All the best with the instal! Feel free to message us through Instagram if you want to discuss. Ryan

Cheers Rory! 😊

Thanks so much Peter! 😊

Cheers Drew, appreciate it! 👍😊⛵️

Cheers Steven!! 😀 ⛵️

Thanks so much Neil, we really appreciate it! 👍 😊
