Thanks for sharing! As a psychiatrist I hear such stories every day. As with any infectious disease sufferers tend to not talk about it which enables ignorance and dismissal
Great to see you back. Some channels I watch for pure sailing. Some channels I watch because of the vibe. Most often the vibe between a couple. Loved how Aansha looked after you and how you responded to her. Very much the vibe that attracts me to you channel in the first place. I hope the best for both Baz and Aansha.
Wow, thank you for sharing that Olav. I [Aannsha] probably wasn't as patient in the early days as I could have been. Until I realised just how difficult it was for Baz. But now, we're taking it a day at a time.
All you can do is take it easy. Just looking at your face Baz, as you are talking it is easy to see the stress you are feeling. I know videos are how you make money but, take it slow we will still be here for you both
Glad to hear you"re recovering. I had all the same experience when I got C.V.D. Tt took at least 6 months to fully recover. So don't worry it will pass. Best wishes.
Guys every single thing you’ve said Bas was and is still suffering are classic covid and long covid symptoms. Good news you are on your way to a full recovery, and selfishly it’s good to you back making videos. Keep well.
So sorry to hear you are such a lovely couple . I'm going through something like this , I loose all confidence and feel shakey , i took a diving course the other day and nearly drowned ??? that really made me feel very vunerable and I'm still getting over it. Thanks for been so upfront it helps the rest of us who are crusing the med xxx
Dear Aannsha & Bas, happy to see you back! I would say take your time. Give your body the time to heal it self. You can’t force nature…. You can only help. Take your rest, live healthily, go for brisk walks…. You’re not in a bad place for all of that…… Small steps at a time…. The world can wait, this is all about you both.
You guys are a team. Sailing requires all your faculties, so good call not going out! Continued good health. I appreciate your honesty and willingness to update those of us in your tribe. ❤️
I'm glad to see you posting videos again, even if you are not back to 100% yet. Interesting ruins. The rocks are conglomerate, a natural cementation of pebbles as you observed. The ancients were brilliant engineers, as you have observed many times. Stay well, my friends. Paul
Hi guys, you need to get this message out there. People treat covid as if its 'flu, the fact is we don't know what the long term effects of LV are, yet so many back in plaque island treat it with complete indifference. I hope you make a full recovery and pronto. Thanks for sharing and good to see you both back.
Getting the message out there and creating an opportunity for people to share their stories was one of the intentions behind this segment of the video. From reading the comments so far it seems to have worked. 👍
I’ve been out of touch , I’m a bit shocked to hear your news . Should’ve been expected really , blessed with good looks way to much f..king hair and a gorgeous wife . Lol. I know you’re both living life to the fullest and will continue to do so despite the hurdles . Good luck guys xxx
Glad to see you back! I pray for a full recovery for you. I had it in January this year. My experience I had terrible sore throat, body aches, fevers and night sweats for about 4 days. After that it took a couple days to feel normal I suppose, but since I've had constant joint pains in my knees and shoulders. Something I never had before. Many days I have to take ibuprofen in the morning to go about my day normally. Take your time recovering and I've joined up for your monthly to help if I can.
It's good to see you coming back to some sort of normality. Time is a healer, but also not putting yourselves under pressure. Putting weekly videos out is hard work. Many who watch don't realise how much effort goes into making interesting content. It's easy to see Baz isn't himself yet, but you will get there. Little steps, choose your time to go out sailing. Dave &Janet from Motor cruising Ava Grace.
(Baz) Agreed. We've chosen to put out a video every second week for the time being. Once I feel confident and we get out sailing we'll see how tings go. Cheers.
Wow I love the tours you take us on. Its been a huge few months for both of you thanks for sharing and so glad to hear Baz is improving. Lots of Love 🧜🏻♂️🧜🏻♀️
Great to see you back .. the condition and feeling you’re getting Barry, it’s something a friend of ours is going through since having Covid.. just keep it steady keep safe 🤙😎
Great to see you both. Sorry to hear about your suffering. The selfish side of me is glad you're back but you need to think about yourself at this point in time. We'll be here when you're recovered fully. All the best guys.
Take time to heal. You know when you're not ok and you'll know when you're ready to do stuff again (and you will be). In the meantime, take care of yourselves.
Have been 🙏 for you both since the hospital video came out. Looking good now, will continue to 🙏 for you both. Barry I know we both have sleep apnea and hope you are using your device to get the best sleep in this trying time. Good Video !
I have missed the two of you very much. I am relieved to see you again. First, Aannsha, you look marvelous. I'm digging the new do. It looks fantastic on you. It's a youthful vibe. Baz, so good to hear your voice again. Sorry to hear that COVID has taken its toll on you. Your textbook description of symptoms is echoed by many long COVID sufferers. Many studies have shown that COVID has hit men harder than women. It seems women generally are more resistant to infections than men. The good news is you have a wonderful wife by your side to help nurse you through. Listening to the two of you I realize how difficult the past months have been. I hope and pray the worst is behind you and the road to recovery is in sight. 🤗🤗
[Aannsha] Thanks so much Noone. I don't think I've always been the textbook wonderful, patient and caring wife, but I'm learning. It has certainly been interesting how we've both dealt with it. It has been a struggle, but we are getting there and looking forward to a brighter future. One day at a time. 😘😘
So good to see you back! After your earlier trip to hospital I was concerned something serious had happened. Definately missed your videos. They are a tonic whilst I prepare to set off across Biscay destination Greeece and later Turkey.
Good to see you both back and on the mend. Take care of yourselves and don't rush anything; the sea (and your fans) will still be there when you're properly ready :)
Bazz I can see it in your eyes when you’re talking,this virus is hit people in different ways some are having it bad ,a nurse friend has been on a blood serum and she’s still not right,good luck keep going 👍🇬🇧👍
Great to have you both back. I had long covid which lasted about 12 months, poor breathing etc… but all better now. You definitely look a little off kilter Baz but I think you have both done the right thing. Some down time and recovery is the most sensible way to go. Take it easy guys and look forward to more videos when your fit and well. Safe travels.
(Baz) After re-watching the video I don't think that I adequately conveyed how deeply debilitating my mental state was. It's great that many people are sharing their stories in the comments.
So glad to see you both, and life is getting better for you! Not nearly as severe but several of your experiences have been very similar to mine between the time I was positive and months before when I had a booster. I displayed the visual and cognitive issues for just about a month after the booster. You caught my attention about your back. Mine came on with the booster and lasted months. Doing good now with minor lingering cough etc like most folks. I look forward to seeing you more often once your up for it. Take the time to laugh, relax and enjoy.
(Baz) It's very comforting to me when I hear of other people having the same or similar symptoms. It tells me that I'm not actually going insane. Thank you for sharing.
I've watched just a few of your videos and you've given me a lot pleasure aswell as many others. I had covid and thought 'ah its just a bad cold' it is not. Lost my sense my sense of smell for a couple of years and now you mention your symptoms it does bring it home. Anyway onwards on upwards enjoy my favourite place in the world. The Med.
Hi ginaza, if you're enjoying what you've watched so far may we suggest that you start at episode #001 because our videos are a linear story and our channel is a mix of sailing, exploring and the telling of a story of how two townies became salty sea dogs.
Hang in there Barry….I had a very similar episode of long covid after I had it which lasted about a year. It was crippling and exhausting and there were times I actually thought I would never recover. It was life changing. I have recovered, but it’s been a long road and I have to be careful. I hope you feel better very soon and fully recover.
sorry to hear but you are looking much better now, i thought you were having a stroke before as you had all the same issues i had 10 years ago. your left eye as well being half closed at times is another indicator something happened to the brain. don't give up go strong and take everything as a new challenge regardless I've since retired an a liveaboard yachty enjoying the challenges of fixing the boat currently the water tanks 😅
Sorry you’ve been going through this, it’s so weird how everyone is affected in different ways. Some people no or hardly any symptoms and some life changing. I’m interested in the loss of confidence you mention as I’ve been going through something similar but for me I think it’s an age related thing, tasks you thought of as everyday suddenly gave me a sickly feeling in my stomach. Here’s to you recovering to the guy you are and many more adventures ahead for you both🥃
We've just replied similarly about people being affect differently, to bill hanna! I [Aannsha] think lack of confidence can also be experienced as you've mentioned. But in any case, lets look forward to more adventures! 🍻
Hi Sherri and welcome to our channel! We're really glad to hear that you're enjoying our land trips. We have several more from when we hired the car, so you've got more to look forward to.
That amphitheater - what a marvel it must have been 2,000 years ago. The venders probably sold popcorn and licorice on the top - where Baz mentioned. At 14:47 baz thought of me - but didn't mention me specifically - I felt it buddy.
Thx for sharing guys and i think talking about it is an important first step. Myself and whole fam had it, and yes tightness on chest , tiredness and additional efforts to focus all sounds familiar. Hang in there and i guess the best is to force you to get back into your normal life asap. Cheers Marius
So sorry to hear this, Baz. I can see that you are still recovering. But, you sound and come across as the Baz we all love, so that much is unaffected! I have had a similar (not the same) experience to you, Aansha, with my wife. It's scary when you can see the other half is not the same as before, and you suddenly don't know what's going to happen next. Take good care of your own mental balance while Baz recovers, and all will be well.
Thanks Nick. We're sorry to hear you and your wife have been going through something similar. One thing that's great about this channel (and others) is that there is a community where we can share experiences and gain strength from each other. Yes, all will be well and we wish you and your wife all the very best too.
We both got Covid and wouldn’t wish it upon anyone. The ongoing fatigue, the post viral cough, the brain fog, the weird thoughts and the body aches are so debilitating. I can tell you that you do slowly get over it.
Great to see you back, I really hope you are able go sailing soon. Have you ever watched fellow Aussie “Plucky” on Sailing into Freedom? He’s been suffering on his own with c*v*d but is being supported by other cruisers anchored nearby.
Thank you. We're glad to hear Plucky is being looked after. It must be more difficult for a single person. That's one of the things we love about the sailing community.
Nice to see you back on UA-cam , Iv had a sleeping sickness throughout my life that I put down to stress related a burn out of the head I'd describe it as, not so apparent now I'm older I'm pleased to say my body would shut down and I would sleep for a 2 week period with just being able to eat a little and go to the toilet . After my awakening my energy levels were crazy by rushing around making up you lost time . I do enjoy the sailing side and boat maintenance side of your channel as I'm a boat owner myself I cherish a 1980 Moody 33s .A second love of my life Haha
I caught it at the beginning of December 2020 and ended up twice in hospital with covid pneumonia on both lungs. It was a bit touch and go for a while but managed to get a bit better so was released from hospital with all sorts of breathing exercises diet and physical exercises to get walking again and getting up and down stairs. To this day I still suffer from breathing issues and fatigue and finally started some intense testing CT scans Lung function and loads more. I do suffer from getting up and stepping off balance also not confident about stepping across things though I don't suffer from vertigo or fear of heights. I did also have a nervous breakdown and lost my business but that was more pandemic strains on cash-flow and the mental stress of trying to survive. 17 months on and still having problems but hopefully they will learn more about long covid and its ongoing affect on one people. Wishing you a full recovery and hopefully get you back out to sea soon.
Ian, thank you for sharing your experience and we are very sorry to hear how difficult it has been for you. We also wish you a full recovery, and feel sure as research continues, more options for healing will be found.
Hi, guys. Well I am 68, and I have had similar episods to what you disc-rived. All of a Suden I cannot read, and common names to me they sound strange . These issues last for approximately one hour, and I get desee. I do a lot of exercise and eat a helthy. All I know is that I need more rest and more food, teak it ease, and I have felt better. How ever I never know when it will come back.
Thank you for sharing that Brian. It sounds as if you're doing the best you can do. One of the difficult things is not knowing how long it will take to completely recover. All the best.
It’s good to see you again 😀😀😀 Baz story is a bit scary, I hope it’s soon over and that you can start looking forward with confidence. Anyway, wishing all the best and hope to see you soon. And , Aansha, your hair looks great 👍
Good to see you guys back. Just thought I’d mention that I had very mild COVID but experienced a couple of episodes where my balance went completely and I could hardly stay standing. Scary in the middle island of the road with traffic. Couldn’t move, had to wait until nothing was in sight before crossing. Spoke to other people with similar experiences.
(Baz) Thanks for sharing Eric. I think my use of the word vertigo was incorrect. Rather it is more of a thought/sensation that my legs are going to give way and I will tumble and fall. I just walked down the two very small steps out of the shower block here at Finike marina and felt like I was about to lose my balance and fall. This is crazy shit.
So sorry to hear this Baz! A friend of ours went through a very similar experience after Covid and he actually left his wife on holiday because his cognitive function completely went….he didn’t eat or sleep for 6 days and went missing in the UK - luckily he was found but so far no one can say what happened other than perhaps he had an ‘infection’ or it was Covid related. I (Laura) had a very similar thing when I went through my big fybromyalgia flare up and it took me a while to find my confidence again - but I’m fine now. We wish you a speedy recovery and hope you get back on the ocean again soon and soon all this will be a distant memory for you xx
(Baz) Hi guys, I really thought I was going insane, I've never lost control of my cognitive functions, it was very scary. One day hopefully we'll be able to look back at this a laugh. Cheers.
Happy to hear you are making a solid recovery. You still look a bit out of sorts, so hopefully that will improve with time. Luckily we live in Vietnam and both the original and Delta variants of Covid-19 were handled with minimum impact in numbers of cases. Omicron came along and went through the country like a case of Delhi Belly. We both caught it in Feb and the experience was much different from yours and was a much more flu like dose with minimal after effects. Anyway, keep at it and keep your pecker up.
Hi, we enjoy watching your channel and have been wondering what had happened to you both. Sorry to hear what Baz is going thru, keep your chin up our thoughts are with you. Ken and Sam P.s I like your new hairdo, must be cool for the hot weather Ciao
So good to see you back, although I am so sorry that Baz is not yet fully recovered. Baz, your description of your symptoms is very, very similar to mine. Clearly the neuro group of long covid symptoms as other posters have suggested. I had to stop working and driving after having covid, but am much improved now. I am driving again, and have also more recently been taking sailing lessons, which is a joy. Time is a great healer, but for me I found a very low carbohydrate/ketogenic diet really helped with the anxiety, fear and brain fog. I have joined your Patreon to help take the pressure off while you recover, and wish you both all the very best.
(Baz) Hi GJ, firstly thank you for becoming a patron. We have both been on a low carbohydrate/ketogenic diet since the beginning of winter, I have lost a lot of weight and I now only eat 1 meal a day. Thanks for watching. 👍
[Aannsha] Thanks GJ, and a big friendly Welcome! We do appreciate your support, it is very helpful to us atm. And we're also glad to hear that your health is returning to normal.
Glad to see you back. Touring antiquity is aa wonderful as sailing. 15:30 According to the UNESCO World Heritage Center web page about the Aqueducts of the Ancient City of Aspendos, "An inscription was found stating that one Tiberius Claudius Italicus spent 2 million denarii to build an aqueduct at Aspendos." If a denarii at that time had 6.81 grams of silver, I believe that works out (using today's silver price) to just shy of 10 million US dollars. Seems cheap, but so were slaves (unlike stone masons). 12:38 like 54nathanael said, that is a conglomerate. I believe that region of Turkey is surrounded by a wedge of rocks called the "Pamphylian Suture". Turkey is currently rotating counter-clockwise and to the southwest (about at the rate that your fingernail grows), by the Eurasian, Arabian, and African plates. That in turn has been pushing wedges of the ancient Mediterranean's ocean floor sideways and up onto Turkey. That ocean floor can experiences submarine debris flows called turbidites (making conglomerates) as the wedge was being pushed up, likely cemented by calcite/lime, some 60-20 million years ago. Since then, I think locally the Eurymedon river has been eroding that wedge, leaving some resistant hills of cemented conglomerate. Hills with steep sides are the sort of places that the Hittites, Greeks, and Romans loved to build upon (for defensive purposes).
Good to see you both back, hope your ok Bad.. This happened to my mother last month. Se caught C-19 and her balance went.. She fell got rushed to hospital and the A&E doctor said they are seeing a lot of this. catching after the jabs it could affect your brain (brain fog) and balance.... so they are now getting a lot of falls... stay safe and 'keep on cruising!"
List of symptom groups classed in the wider group of neuropsychiatric long Covid complications. I am translating on the fly from Greek here so my medical terminology might be off in English: Exhaustion, muscle pains, headaches, autonomic nervous system disorders, cognitive disorders, memory complications, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Oh wow. Sorry to hear of your horror experience, Baz. I hope you get progressively strong and better. There is a recent video on research into the effects of ____________ on the brain.
From what I read, this sounds very much like long COVID, mate. Specifically, the neuropsychiatric group of long COVID complications. I suggest you may want to see a neuropsychiatric specialist to help you manage this. This is an active area of research as far as I understand so I don’t know whether you can find such a specialist in Turkey. Maybe some supervised use of mild antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs could help?Good luck and take it easy. Btw, wonderful new haircut Aannsha.
(Baz) I have a natural tendency to stay away from doctors and pharmaceuticals. I am sure I can rebuild my confidence and get back to being the fast thinking Captain Baz again. 👍
I had to do a 15 day protocol of supplements and dietary changes, and that helped my brain A LOT - ability to focus, prioritize tasks, no brain fog, etc. I also did some other supplements and exercise to help get my energy back. Praying for your full recovery. You both are a joy to watch! 🙏🏻😁
Sorry to hear of trials and tribulations. You both need to do what you're doing, and take a step back. Your health comes first. I'm assuming more testing is in the cards. Get back to good health. The boat will still be there. Good luck.
Hope you get better soon, but just to clarify, vertigo is not the fear of heights but it is feeling motion sickness in the absence on any motion. Trust me I get it, not the same as fear of heights.
Sorry to hear that you are still suffering. Good luck on your recovery. You can still get vaccinated as other significant strains resurface in the Fall.
I was wondering why you werent posting and remember the last post when you were in hospital. It does sound like covid. Glad you are getting over it. Have you been vaccinated? I got covid in early 2020 and was very sick, pneumonia, exhaustion and a long period of dreadful anxiety plus long chest tightness for at least 12 months.
Thanks Petyr, sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. We hope you're fully recovered now. No we weren't vaccinated. We took all the precautions and were very fortunate to 'dodge that bullet' until very recently. Interesting how we both had different reactions to it. I'd say my symptoms were no worse than any of the vaccinated in the marina who also caught it around the same time.
It's so strange - the symptoms you're talking about are the same I've been dealing with - but had not associated with C*V*D. I can sleep for ten hours at a time - and have to force myself to get up. The cough - and the kidney back pain too. Shortness of breath . I've got a doctors appointment for June 6th - we'll have to do a triage to determine a priority list of recovery. Regarding you - sounds like trouble if you have a sailing channel on UA-cam - but can't go sailing anymore. It might be time to become a land-lubber and broker your Turkish centric knowledge of sailing to some English speaking sailors.
Hey sorry to hear you've been dealing with similar issues Murray. As for the sailing and confidence issue, that's some interesting advice there, thanks. But for now, we're taking it one day at a time.
@@2sunsetsailors we have noticed ver the last two years that many channels who have talked about this subject openly were given strikes and some were banned. So we thought is would be wiser to err on the side of caution.
Hi Guys: Victoria and I are neuropsychologists and we have begun to see patients who have been diagnosed with Long Covid. Since the virus can evade the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain some individuals who have contracted COVID have experienced mild to severe compromise of neurocognitive functions (e.g., memory, concentration, judgment, decision-making). Others have experienced changes in their sense of self, no longer feeling the person they used to be and/or developing a range of fears or phobias in reaction to the perceived loss of identity and self. Other neurological processes like balance, energy, libido, etc. can and often are compromised as well. The prognosis for Long Covid as well as optimal treatments is still in the early stages of understanding and development so I can't give you much information for now about that. I can confirm that your hypothesis about what you are suffering from is very likely correct. At this point, it is reasonable to expect that with time you will recover most if not all of your affected processes and functioning. How long this will take and how much you will recover is a question. A few recommendations if you don't mind. First, if you haven't already, I would have a comprehensive evaluation with a neurologist. If you haven't had an MRI of your brain, I would suggest you do so. If you have concerns about your level of cognitive functioning and competence, an evaluation with a neuropsychologist would be quite helpful, especially as a means of objectively tracking your recovery progress. Lastly, just an observation and it may not be accurate, but you seemed very tentative and anxious in the video. What you have and are experiencing is deeply traumatic and you may benefit from some counseling or psychotherapy as an aid in dealing with all you have been and are still going through. Hope this was helpful and feel free to reach out if I can be of any further help. Now enough about you, and get back to making those great videos Victoria and I so much enjoy. Best and be well. Rick and Vic
(Baz) Hi Richard and Victoria, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am actually out of bed before midday today, the first time in 4.5 months. That feels good. 😀
Sorry to learn you have been so challenged but glad to hear you are improving. What you describe is recognised both as ‘long c;v;d’ and ‘Brain Fog’. Don’t be in a hurry to slip the lines - you need a full set of ‘smarts’ at sea.
Great to see you back, stunning scenery. Hope you fully recover soon, haven't had it myself but interestingly had a friend who had it and she told me she went through a short period where she was talking but people around her said she was making no sense. So there must be some link to brain function, anyway you bought a boat so like many of us your brain function is already suspect. Get well soon, and get sailing, best cure for anything
Thanks for sharing! As a psychiatrist I hear such stories every day. As with any infectious disease sufferers tend to not talk about it which enables ignorance and dismissal
Thank you Rod for sharing that detail.
And here we are on 2024... Things certainly have changed... We still don't know where society is headed.
Wow, all the very best for you. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks William.
Good to see you guys hoping that you will get better
Thank you.
Great to see you back. Some channels I watch for pure sailing. Some channels I watch because of the vibe. Most often the vibe between a couple. Loved how Aansha looked after you and how you responded to her. Very much the vibe that attracts me to you channel in the first place. I hope the best for both Baz and Aansha.
Wow, thank you for sharing that Olav. I [Aannsha] probably wasn't as patient in the early days as I could have been. Until I realised just how difficult it was for Baz. But now, we're taking it a day at a time.
Best of luck for your recovery Baz, take it easy and you are in great hands with your wonderful wife supporting you, cheers
Yes, thank you. 👍
Nice to see you back . . 👍😃. Get well soon Baz.
Thanks 👍
All you can do is take it easy. Just looking at your face Baz, as you are talking it is easy to see the stress you are feeling. I know videos are how you make money but, take it slow we will still be here for you both
Thanks Phil.
Sorry to hear of your woes Baz and very happy you on the mend. Good to see you both. Take care
Thank you kindly John. 👍
Glad to hear you"re recovering.
I had all the same experience when I got C.V.D. Tt took at least 6 months to fully recover. So don't worry it will pass. Best wishes.
Guys every single thing you’ve said Bas was and is still suffering are classic covid and long covid symptoms. Good news you are on your way to a full recovery, and selfishly it’s good to you back making videos.
Keep well.
We appreciate your selfishiness! 👍😄
So sorry to hear you are such a lovely couple . I'm going through something like this , I loose all confidence and feel shakey , i took a diving course the other day and nearly drowned ??? that really made me feel very vunerable and I'm still getting over it. Thanks for been so upfront it helps the rest of us who are crusing the med xxx
We really appreciate you sharing your story Noel. Thanks.
Great to see your getting back on your feet Baz, very frightening for Aannsha too!
Aannsha your hair looks Amazing!! 😃
[Aannsha] 😊 thank you, yes it has been concerning. [Baz] Thanks.
I hope will get better soon.🙏
Thank you.
Dear Aannsha & Bas, happy to see you back!
I would say take your time. Give your body the time to heal it self. You can’t force nature….
You can only help. Take your rest, live healthily, go for brisk walks…. You’re not in a bad place for all of that……
Small steps at a time…. The world can wait, this is all about you both.
Thanks subocajw. This has certainly taught us that you can't force nature. 🙂
You guys are a team. Sailing requires all your faculties, so good call not going out! Continued good health. I appreciate your honesty and willingness to update those of us in your tribe. ❤️
(Baz) It's been a long haul but I am beginning to feel somewhat normal. 👍
Thank you for the update video glad to know you are doing ok, wishing you a continued good recovery.
Thanks Alan. 👍
Get well soon. good to see you two again.Aannsha you have a beautiful haircut.
Thank you. [Aannsha] Thank you. ☺
Take it easy you two, time needed for rest and recovery, your health is so important. Best wishes xx
Thank you Catoodle.
Wow, sorry to hear your woes, but glad you are getting better now Baz. Hope you are back to 100% soon. All the best.
Thanks Richard 👍
Excellent, hope it helps you and family as it takes you in to a natural way of eating. ALL THE BEST
Yes, thank you
I'm glad to see you posting videos again, even if you are not back to 100% yet. Interesting ruins. The rocks are conglomerate, a natural cementation of pebbles as you observed. The ancients were brilliant engineers, as you have observed many times.
Stay well, my friends. Paul
(Baz) Ahh conglomerate, I will google that, thanks. 👍
Hi guys, you need to get this message out there. People treat covid as if its 'flu, the fact is we don't know what the long term effects of LV are, yet so many back in plaque island treat it with complete indifference. I hope you make a full recovery and pronto. Thanks for sharing and good to see you both back.
Getting the message out there and creating an opportunity for people to share their stories was one of the intentions behind this segment of the video. From reading the comments so far it seems to have worked. 👍
I hope you feel better mate. get well soon
Thanks.
As a senior sailor I really relate to you two and watch regularly. Glad to hear you are getting better. Best of luck in recovering.
Thank you Ben. 👍
Glad your health is improving. Best wishes for a speedy, full recovery. J.
Thank you John, we appreciate that.
Oh - and it's good to see you two again.
You too.
I’ve been out of touch , I’m a bit shocked to hear your news . Should’ve been expected really , blessed with good looks way to much f..king hair and a gorgeous wife . Lol.
I know you’re both living life to the fullest and will continue to do so despite the hurdles .
Good luck guys xxx
😂Cheers David. I'm (Baz) getting a haircut today. 👍
We saw your boat on the market so came over to see what was happening and shocked to see this. So sad. Wishing you all the best. Nat- Ian-Nelson
All good things must come to an end. Cheers.
Glad to see you back! I pray for a full recovery for you. I had it in January this year. My experience I had terrible sore throat, body aches, fevers and night sweats for about 4 days. After that it took a couple days to feel normal I suppose, but since I've had constant joint pains in my knees and shoulders. Something I never had before. Many days I have to take ibuprofen in the morning to go about my day normally. Take your time recovering and I've joined up for your monthly to help if I can.
We're sorry to hear you're suffering joint pain and wish you a full recovery.
Hi Grez, it's weird how symptoms vary and how people get strange lingering effects, hope your joint pains disappear. Thank you for joining Patreon. 😀
Wishing you a quick and full recovery. Best wishes!
Thank you so much!
It's good to see you coming back to some sort of normality. Time is a healer, but also not putting yourselves under pressure. Putting weekly videos out is hard work. Many who watch don't realise how much effort goes into making interesting content. It's easy to see Baz isn't himself yet, but you will get there. Little steps, choose your time to go out sailing. Dave &Janet from Motor cruising Ava Grace.
(Baz) Agreed. We've chosen to put out a video every second week for the time being. Once I feel confident and we get out sailing we'll see how tings go. Cheers.
Wow I love the tours you take us on. Its been a huge few months for both of you thanks for sharing and so glad to hear Baz is improving. Lots of Love 🧜🏻♂️🧜🏻♀️
Thank you Shelley. Love to you too. We must speak soon. xx 😘
Great to see you back .. the condition and feeling you’re getting Barry, it’s something a friend of ours is going through since having Covid.. just keep it steady keep safe 🤙😎
Thanks for that 👍
Praying for you both ! Glad to see the update. Hope you recover quickly !
Thank you so much!
Hopefully you get better soon so you can get back to sailing which is your passion .
Take care be safe you two.
That's the plan Mr G.
Great to see you both. Sorry to hear about your suffering. The selfish side of me is glad you're back but you need to think about yourself at this point in time. We'll be here when you're recovered fully. All the best guys.
Thanks Mark! We don't mind that kind of selfishiness! 😂
Take time to heal. You know when you're not ok and you'll know when you're ready to do stuff again (and you will be). In the meantime, take care of yourselves.
(Baz) Agreed, I'll know when I can safely untie the lines. Cheers.
Have been 🙏 for you both since the hospital video came out. Looking good now, will continue to 🙏 for you both. Barry I know we both have sleep apnea and hope you are using your device to get the best sleep in this trying time. Good Video !
(Baz) I am using my CPAP machine every night and getting some good long sleep periods. 👍
Greeat to know that you are getting better
Thanks James. 👍
I have missed the two of you very much. I am relieved to see you again. First, Aannsha, you look marvelous. I'm digging the new do. It looks fantastic on you. It's a youthful vibe.
Baz, so good to hear your voice again. Sorry to hear that COVID has taken its toll on you. Your textbook description of symptoms is echoed by many long COVID sufferers. Many studies have shown that COVID has hit men harder than women. It seems women generally are more resistant to infections than men. The good news is you have a wonderful wife by your side to help nurse you through. Listening to the two of you I realize how difficult the past months have been. I hope and pray the worst is behind you and the road to recovery is in sight. 🤗🤗
[Aannsha] Thanks so much Noone. I don't think I've always been the textbook wonderful, patient and caring wife, but I'm learning. It has certainly been interesting how we've both dealt with it. It has been a struggle, but we are getting there and looking forward to a brighter future. One day at a time. 😘😘
So good to see you back! After your earlier trip to hospital I was concerned something serious had happened.
Definately missed your videos. They are a tonic whilst I prepare to set off across Biscay destination Greeece and later Turkey.
Thanks Mike, and all the best with your journey. We wish you fair winds and calm seas.
Great video guys glad you are back, love the sightseeing and historical monuments wishing Baz a quick recovery
Thanks 👍
Get well soon. Love the videos you are producing and thank you so much for sharing your experience 🙏
We're glad you like what we do. Cheers.
Was wondering what happened to you, glad y ou are back.
Thanks Werner. 👍
Great to see you back Baz, hope you are feeling better and might see you on the Turkish coast soon, take care
Thanks, we hope that our paths cross somewhere along the coast. 👍
Good to see you both back and on the mend. Take care of yourselves and don't rush anything; the sea (and your fans) will still be there when you're properly ready :)
Thanks 👍
Great to see you again! 😀
You too Yelkenli. 👍
Glad you’re on the mend.
Thanks Michael.
Bazz I can see it in your eyes when you’re talking,this virus is hit people in different ways some are having it bad ,a nurse friend has been on a blood serum and she’s still not right,good luck keep going 👍🇬🇧👍
(Baz) Agreed, when I watched the video I saw that in my eyes too.
Hi Baz, hope you get well enough to do whatever is next. Cheers!
Hey, thanks!
Great to have you both back. I had long covid which lasted about 12 months, poor breathing etc… but all better now. You definitely look a little off kilter Baz but I think you have both done the right thing. Some down time and recovery is the most sensible way to go. Take it easy guys and look forward to more videos when your fit and well. Safe travels.
(Baz) After re-watching the video I don't think that I adequately conveyed how deeply debilitating my mental state was. It's great that many people are sharing their stories in the comments.
@@SailingABSea Love you Baz ❤
So glad to see you both, and life is getting better for you!
Not nearly as severe but several of your experiences have been very similar to mine between the time I was positive and months before when I had a booster. I displayed the visual and cognitive issues for just about a month after the booster. You caught my attention about your back. Mine came on with the booster and lasted months. Doing good now with minor lingering cough etc like most folks.
I look forward to seeing you more often once your up for it. Take the time to laugh, relax and enjoy.
(Baz) It's very comforting to me when I hear of other people having the same or similar symptoms. It tells me that I'm not actually going insane. Thank you for sharing.
I've watched just a few of your videos and you've given me a lot pleasure aswell as many others. I had covid and thought 'ah its just a bad cold' it is not. Lost my sense my sense of smell for a couple of years and now you mention your symptoms it does bring it home.
Anyway onwards on upwards enjoy my favourite place in the world. The Med.
Hi ginaza, if you're enjoying what you've watched so far may we suggest that you start at episode #001 because our videos are a linear story and our channel is a mix of sailing, exploring and the telling of a story of how two townies became salty sea dogs.
Hang in there Barry….I had a very similar episode of long covid after I had it which lasted about a year.
It was crippling and exhausting and there were times I actually thought I would never recover.
It was life changing.
I have recovered, but it’s been a long road and I have to be careful.
I hope you feel better very soon and fully recover.
Thanks for sharing that Bumble. 👍
Glad your better. Give it time.
Cheers Ron.
sorry to hear but you are looking much better now, i thought you were having a stroke before as you had all the same issues i had 10 years ago.
your left eye as well being half closed at times is another indicator something happened to the brain. don't give up go strong and take everything as a new challenge regardless I've since retired an a liveaboard yachty enjoying the challenges of fixing the boat currently the water tanks 😅
Thanks. Still going, and yes, lots of challenges, but getting there. Have fun with your water tanks! 😄
Had been wondering if you had not been well after your trip to Hospital.
Great to see you back, hope you are feeling 100% soon. Take care
(Baz) Yeah the trip to hospital was just the tip of the iceberg. It's been a long haul. Cheers.
Sorry you’ve been going through this, it’s so weird how everyone is affected in different ways. Some people no or hardly any symptoms and some life changing.
I’m interested in the loss of confidence you mention as I’ve been going through something similar but for me I think it’s an age related thing, tasks you thought of as everyday suddenly gave me a sickly feeling in my stomach.
Here’s to you recovering to the guy you are and many more adventures ahead for you both🥃
We've just replied similarly about people being affect differently, to bill hanna! I [Aannsha] think lack of confidence can also be experienced as you've mentioned. But in any case, lets look forward to more adventures! 🍻
New to your channel. I love when boat folks take us on their land adventures! Hope you're on the mend.
Hi Sherri and welcome to our channel! We're really glad to hear that you're enjoying our land trips. We have several more from when we hired the car, so you've got more to look forward to.
That amphitheater - what a marvel it must have been 2,000 years ago. The venders probably sold popcorn and licorice on the top - where Baz mentioned. At 14:47 baz thought of me - but didn't mention me specifically - I felt it buddy.
Apparently it is well preserved because at some point, it was used as a palace. We're glad you got Baz's telepathic transmission.
Great video. still getting over my brain fog and still not feeling right. See you soon. Ant & Cid xx
Cheers. When are you coming home?
Thx for sharing guys and i think talking about it is an important first step. Myself and whole fam had it, and yes tightness on chest , tiredness and additional efforts to focus all sounds familiar. Hang in there and i guess the best is to force you to get back into your normal life asap. Cheers Marius
Absolutely Marius. 👍
So sorry to hear this, Baz. I can see that you are still recovering. But, you sound and come across as the Baz we all love, so that much is unaffected! I have had a similar (not the same) experience to you, Aansha, with my wife. It's scary when you can see the other half is not the same as before, and you suddenly don't know what's going to happen next. Take good care of your own mental balance while Baz recovers, and all will be well.
Thanks Nick. We're sorry to hear you and your wife have been going through something similar. One thing that's great about this channel (and others) is that there is a community where we can share experiences and gain strength from each other. Yes, all will be well and we wish you and your wife all the very best too.
@@SailingABSea 🙏
Get well soon Captain !
Thank you Murat.
We both got Covid and wouldn’t wish it upon anyone. The ongoing fatigue, the post viral cough, the brain fog, the weird thoughts and the body aches are so debilitating. I can tell you that you do slowly get over it.
Fortunately, Aannsha bounced back, so Baz can take the time he needs to recover. Take good care of yourselves.
Great to see you back, I really hope you are able go sailing soon. Have you ever watched fellow Aussie “Plucky” on Sailing into Freedom? He’s been suffering on his own with c*v*d but is being supported by other cruisers anchored nearby.
Thank you. We're glad to hear Plucky is being looked after. It must be more difficult for a single person. That's one of the things we love about the sailing community.
Nice to see you back on UA-cam , Iv had a sleeping sickness throughout my life that I put down to stress related a burn out of the head I'd describe it as, not so apparent now I'm older I'm pleased to say my body would shut down and I would sleep for a 2 week period with just being able to eat a little and go to the toilet . After my awakening my energy levels were crazy by rushing around making up you lost time . I do enjoy the sailing side and boat maintenance side of your channel as I'm a boat owner myself I cherish a 1980 Moody 33s .A second love of my life Haha
Thanks for sharing Karl. We're glad that you enjoy the sailing and maintenance we share. 👍
I caught it at the beginning of December 2020 and ended up twice in hospital with covid pneumonia on both lungs. It was a bit touch and go for a while but managed to get a bit better so was released from hospital with all sorts of breathing exercises diet and physical exercises to get walking again and getting up and down stairs. To this day I still suffer from breathing issues and fatigue and finally started some intense testing CT scans Lung function and loads more. I do suffer from getting up and stepping off balance also not confident about stepping across things though I don't suffer from vertigo or fear of heights. I did also have a nervous breakdown and lost my business but that was more pandemic strains on cash-flow and the mental stress of trying to survive. 17 months on and still having problems but hopefully they will learn more about long covid and its ongoing affect on one people. Wishing you a full recovery and hopefully get you back out to sea soon.
Ian, thank you for sharing your experience and we are very sorry to hear how difficult it has been for you. We also wish you a full recovery, and feel sure as research continues, more options for healing will be found.
Good to see you guys, you just get better Baz mate.
(Baz) I'm actually out of bed before midday for the first time in 4.5 months. That feels good. 😀
Hi, guys. Well I am 68, and I have had similar episods to what you disc-rived. All of a Suden I cannot read, and common names to me they sound strange . These issues last for approximately one hour, and I get desee. I do a lot of exercise and eat a helthy. All I know is that I need more rest and more food, teak it ease, and I have felt better. How ever I never know when it will come back.
Thank you for sharing that Brian. It sounds as if you're doing the best you can do. One of the difficult things is not knowing how long it will take to completely recover. All the best.
Really hope you feel better soon.
Thanks Tim. 👍
It’s good to see you again 😀😀😀 Baz story is a bit scary, I hope it’s soon over and that you can start looking forward with confidence. Anyway, wishing all the best and hope to see you soon. And , Aansha, your hair looks great 👍
Thank you Michel, it has been difficult, but Baz is taking one day at a time and we are slowly seeing progress. And [Aannsha] thank you 😊
Glad you are getting better, hope for a full recovery soon…. Although that cute nurse with a new do, might hamper your early recovery 😉
Yes! Thank you Bayani. 😀
☺
Good to see you guys back. Just thought I’d mention that I had very mild COVID but experienced a couple of episodes where my balance went completely and I could hardly stay standing. Scary in the middle island of the road with traffic. Couldn’t move, had to wait until nothing was in sight before crossing. Spoke to other people with similar experiences.
(Baz) Thanks for sharing Eric. I think my use of the word vertigo was incorrect. Rather it is more of a thought/sensation that my legs are going to give way and I will tumble and fall. I just walked down the two very small steps out of the shower block here at Finike marina and felt like I was about to lose my balance and fall. This is crazy shit.
Good to see your both back, glad your feeling better Baza love ya Bro always will :-)
(Baz) Love you too Freddie. Brothers in arms. 😀
Sorry to hear of your health woes
Thanks.
A massive knock. Hope you improve quickly from here on.
Thanks.
So sorry to hear this Baz! A friend of ours went through a very similar experience after Covid and he actually left his wife on holiday because his cognitive function completely went….he didn’t eat or sleep for 6 days and went missing in the UK - luckily he was found but so far no one can say what happened other than perhaps he had an ‘infection’ or it was Covid related. I (Laura) had a very similar thing when I went through my big fybromyalgia flare up and it took me a while to find my confidence again - but I’m fine now. We wish you a speedy recovery and hope you get back on the ocean again soon and soon all this will be a distant memory for you xx
(Baz) Hi guys, I really thought I was going insane, I've never lost control of my cognitive functions, it was very scary. One day hopefully we'll be able to look back at this a laugh. Cheers.
Happy to hear you are making a solid recovery. You still look a bit out of sorts, so hopefully that will improve with time. Luckily we live in Vietnam and both the original and Delta variants of Covid-19 were handled with minimum impact in numbers of cases. Omicron came along and went through the country like a case of Delhi Belly. We both caught it in Feb and the experience was much different from yours and was a much more flu like dose with minimal after effects.
Anyway, keep at it and keep your pecker up.
It has been interesting how different countries have dealt with this. Glad you've recovered.
Hi, we enjoy watching your channel and have been wondering what had happened to you both. Sorry to hear what Baz is going thru, keep your chin up our thoughts are with you. Ken and Sam
P.s I like your new hairdo, must be cool for the hot weather
Ciao
Thank you from both of us.
So good to see you back, although I am so sorry that Baz is not yet fully recovered. Baz, your description of your symptoms is very, very similar to mine. Clearly the neuro group of long covid symptoms as other posters have suggested. I had to stop working and driving after having covid, but am much improved now. I am driving again, and have also more recently been taking sailing lessons, which is a joy. Time is a great healer, but for me I found a very low carbohydrate/ketogenic diet really helped with the anxiety, fear and brain fog. I have joined your Patreon to help take the pressure off while you recover, and wish you both all the very best.
(Baz) Hi GJ, firstly thank you for becoming a patron. We have both been on a low carbohydrate/ketogenic diet since the beginning of winter, I have lost a lot of weight and I now only eat 1 meal a day. Thanks for watching. 👍
[Aannsha] Thanks GJ, and a big friendly Welcome! We do appreciate your support, it is very helpful to us atm. And we're also glad to hear that your health is returning to normal.
Take care you two.
Thanks Conan. 👍
Glad to see you back. Touring antiquity is aa wonderful as sailing. 15:30 According to the UNESCO World Heritage Center web page about the Aqueducts of the Ancient City of Aspendos, "An inscription was found stating that one Tiberius Claudius Italicus spent 2 million denarii to build an aqueduct at Aspendos." If a denarii at that time had 6.81 grams of silver, I believe that works out (using today's silver price) to just shy of 10 million US dollars. Seems cheap, but so were slaves (unlike stone masons). 12:38 like 54nathanael said, that is a conglomerate. I believe that region of Turkey is surrounded by a wedge of rocks called the "Pamphylian Suture". Turkey is currently rotating counter-clockwise and to the southwest (about at the rate that your fingernail grows), by the Eurasian, Arabian, and African plates. That in turn has been pushing wedges of the ancient Mediterranean's ocean floor sideways and up onto Turkey. That ocean floor can experiences submarine debris flows called turbidites (making conglomerates) as the wedge was being pushed up, likely cemented by calcite/lime, some 60-20 million years ago. Since then, I think locally the Eurymedon river has been eroding that wedge, leaving some resistant hills of cemented conglomerate. Hills with steep sides are the sort of places that the Hittites, Greeks, and Romans loved to build upon (for defensive purposes).
Wow thanks Bill, that's all really fascinating info, especially the part about Turkey being pushed by the tectonic plates. Thanks for sharing.
Good to see you both back, hope your ok Bad.. This happened to my mother last month. Se caught C-19 and her balance went.. She fell got rushed to hospital and the A&E doctor said they are seeing a lot of this. catching after the jabs it could affect your brain (brain fog) and balance.... so they are now getting a lot of falls... stay safe and 'keep on cruising!"
Thanks for sharing that. Some serious investigation needs doing around this whole thing.
Tc You two and stay safe .lol from Thailand
Cheers mate. 👍
Baz, hope you feel better soon and back to the good old 'I'm the captain, drop the 'effin' line' :) Aannsha, really like the new hair 👍
(Baz) Hahahaha 😂
Thank you Colin. ☺
List of symptom groups classed in the wider group of neuropsychiatric long Covid complications. I am translating on the fly from Greek here so my medical terminology might be off in English: Exhaustion, muscle pains, headaches, autonomic nervous system disorders, cognitive disorders, memory complications, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Yeah, that just about sums it up.
Come on Baz and Aansha, up the spirit!!! :)
Day by day Jorge.
Oh wow. Sorry to hear of your horror experience, Baz. I hope you get progressively strong and better. There is a recent video on research into the effects of ____________ on the brain.
We'll have a look for it William.
From what I read, this sounds very much like long COVID, mate. Specifically, the neuropsychiatric group of long COVID complications. I suggest you may want to see a neuropsychiatric specialist to help you manage this. This is an active area of research as far as I understand so I don’t know whether you can find such a specialist in Turkey. Maybe some supervised use of mild antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs could help?Good luck and take it easy. Btw, wonderful new haircut Aannsha.
[Aannsha] Thanks Niko. Baz is asleep still, so I'll get him to reply to you when he's up.
(Baz) I have a natural tendency to stay away from doctors and pharmaceuticals. I am sure I can rebuild my confidence and get back to being the fast thinking Captain Baz again. 👍
@@SailingABSea Sure thing. Just keep in mind that if I shared your tendencies I would be dead by now..
I had to do a 15 day protocol of supplements and dietary changes, and that helped my brain A LOT - ability to focus, prioritize tasks, no brain fog, etc. I also did some other supplements and exercise to help get my energy back. Praying for your full recovery. You both are a joy to watch! 🙏🏻😁
@@ritagregory5019 We've both been on a lo/no carb diet since December 2021 and we've been taking vit D, C, B, zinc & magnesium daily.
Sorry to hear of trials and tribulations. You both need to do what you're doing, and take a step back. Your health comes first. I'm assuming more testing is in the cards. Get back to good health. The boat will still be there. Good luck.
Thanks Dennis
Thanks
Thank you so much. 👍
Hope you get better soon, but just to clarify, vertigo is not the fear of heights but it is feeling motion sickness in the absence on any motion. Trust me I get it, not the same as fear of heights.
(Baz) I did clarify in the video that I was misusing the term vertigo. Cheers.
@@SailingABSea now worries. Glad to see you back.
Sorry to hear that you are still suffering. Good luck on your recovery. You can still get vaccinated as other significant strains resurface in the Fall.
Thanks for the well wishes Jmac.
I was wondering why you werent posting and remember the last post when you were in hospital. It does sound like covid. Glad you are getting over it. Have you been vaccinated? I got covid in early 2020 and was very sick, pneumonia, exhaustion and a long period of dreadful anxiety plus long chest tightness for at least 12 months.
Thanks Petyr, sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. We hope you're fully recovered now. No we weren't vaccinated. We took all the precautions and were very fortunate to 'dodge that bullet' until very recently. Interesting how we both had different reactions to it. I'd say my symptoms were no worse than any of the vaccinated in the marina who also caught it around the same time.
Ik hoop dat alles nu beter gaat. Maar weet je nu wat het was? Blij dat jullie er weer zijn. En je korte haar ik vind het je geweldig staan. 😮
(translation) I hope everything is better now. But now you know what it was? Glad you're back. And your short hair I think it looks great on you.
Thanks to you both. 👍
It's so strange - the symptoms you're talking about are the same I've been dealing with - but had not associated with C*V*D. I can sleep for ten hours at a time - and have to force myself to get up. The cough - and the kidney back pain too. Shortness of breath . I've got a doctors appointment for June 6th - we'll have to do a triage to determine a priority list of recovery.
Regarding you - sounds like trouble if you have a sailing channel on UA-cam - but can't go sailing anymore. It might be time to become a land-lubber and broker your Turkish centric knowledge of sailing to some English speaking sailors.
Hey sorry to hear you've been dealing with similar issues Murray.
As for the sailing and confidence issue, that's some interesting advice there, thanks. But for now, we're taking it one day at a time.
@@SailingABSea wondering why you muffled/scrambled the affliction - and why some are reluctant to spell out the word. Are we missing something?
@@2sunsetsailors we have noticed ver the last two years that many channels who have talked about this subject openly were given strikes and some were banned. So we thought is would be wiser to err on the side of caution.
Hi Guys: Victoria and I are neuropsychologists and we have begun to see patients who have been diagnosed with Long Covid. Since the virus can evade the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain some individuals who have contracted COVID have experienced mild to severe compromise of neurocognitive functions (e.g., memory, concentration, judgment, decision-making). Others have experienced changes in their sense of self, no longer feeling the person they used to be and/or developing a range of fears or phobias in reaction to the perceived loss of identity and self. Other neurological processes like balance, energy, libido, etc. can and often are compromised as well. The prognosis for Long Covid as well as optimal treatments is still in the early stages of understanding and development so I can't give you much information for now about that. I can confirm that your hypothesis about what you are suffering from is very likely correct. At this point, it is reasonable to expect that with time you will recover most if not all of your affected processes and functioning. How long this will take and how much you will recover is a question. A few recommendations if you don't mind. First, if you haven't already, I would have a comprehensive evaluation with a neurologist. If you haven't had an MRI of your brain, I would suggest you do so. If you have concerns about your level of cognitive functioning and competence, an evaluation with a neuropsychologist would be quite helpful, especially as a means of objectively tracking your recovery progress. Lastly, just an observation and it may not be accurate, but you seemed very tentative and anxious in the video. What you have and are experiencing is deeply traumatic and you may benefit from some counseling or psychotherapy as an aid in dealing with all you have been and are still going through. Hope this was helpful and feel free to reach out if I can be of any further help. Now enough about you, and get back to making those great videos Victoria and I so much enjoy. Best and be well. Rick and Vic
(Baz) Hi Richard and Victoria, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am actually out of bed before midday today, the first time in 4.5 months. That feels good. 😀
Sorry to learn you have been so challenged but glad to hear you are improving. What you describe is recognised both as ‘long c;v;d’ and ‘Brain Fog’. Don’t be in a hurry to slip the lines - you need a full set of ‘smarts’ at sea.
Agreed on the full set of 'smarts'. 👍
Great to see you back, stunning scenery. Hope you fully recover soon, haven't had it myself but interestingly had a friend who had it and she told me she went through a short period where she was talking but people around her said she was making no sense. So there must be some link to brain function, anyway you bought a boat so like many of us your brain function is already suspect. Get well soon, and get sailing, best cure for anything
(Baz) Hahahaha 😂
We chuckled at the thought of Baz talking and making no sense. But we're glad your friend recovered.
