Messina Strait's crazy whirlpools and a most unexpected visitor on our crossing to Corfu Ep. 59

- In this weeks episode we find ourselves no longer in the Tyrrhenian Sea as we cross the Messina Strait. We encounter the swordfish fisherman on their very abnormal looking boats as well as a ton of messy whirlpools. As we enter the Ionian Sea we are greeted by a ton of different dolphin pods, it really doesn't get much better than this. Nat finds herself enjoying her new found treasure (somebody else's trash) and James continues to try out his luck with fishing. Towards the end we finally make the jump to Corfu, Greece! So excited for the new adventure.....although it may seem that the adventure and drama unfolds earlier than we thought with an unexpected visit out on the open water and in the middle of the night!
Hope you enjoy the video!

🤩🤩🇦🇺 You two are incredible, always laughing and so happy 😁. You are certainly the luckiest people in the world and it shows in the videos you share. Hilarious “Nat” in the Aussie pool, made for one and sinking!! 🤣 💗
Awww. Thanks for the kind words Dianne. We really appreciate your support. Glad you liked the video. That kids pool is Nats favourite thing now.
Like all narrows with strong tides timing is everything.
Too right Ian! Hope u enjoyed! 😍
We watch this and love the enthusiasm. Miss you truckloads!!!!
Great video thanks for sharing reminded of the day in 1983 as a young traveler I left Brindisi in Italy on an overnight ferry crossing to Corfu and how excited I was the next morning arriving and seeing this whole new world in front of me I loved Greece and it's people and I spent 4 months traveling around the islands and the mainland enjoy yourselves.
Amazing memories mate. Glad you enjoyed the vid.
Great video guys and I'm finally caught up on your channel. Can't wait to see your videos of Greece.
Wohooo! Thanks for the amazing support Michael! Greece videos up next....amazing islands, amazing food and epic sailing! Enjoy!
Great episode... The fisherman with the top of mast look out and extended forward platform were most likely fishing for sword fish and blue fin tuna. They harpoon them...
Crazy operation no? The boats are so interesting to see working.
Good video guys thanks for sharing ps I’m starting to like James hair cut like fine art it just has to make you feel something
Thanks for watching. James’ hair is a beast of its own.
we had the same encounter with the Italians - bright spot light -no nav lights - no AIS - buggers... scared the sh*t out of us. no VHF contact.
So scary! Glad we weren’t the only ones to go through that though! The menacing light getting closer and closer is crazy scary!
The guy that's way out on the pulpit is probably the Harpoon man and the guy up on top of the mass is looking out and he shouts down the guy up front throws the harpoon
Cheers for that. Amazing boats to see.
Was Italy as expensive as people say it is?
Sure was! Sicily especially!!
Ever got your in-mast furling issues solved?
COVID Haircut:
I did a self COVID @ home haircut during lockdown and afterwards total strangers passing buy thanked me for my service??? Guess I didn’t do such a good job😕
That was a Tuna fishing boat, the guy up the mast spots the Tuna and the guy out on the bowsprit is the harpoon man.
Actually it’s a swordfish vessel.
Yup. Sword fisherman. Crazy boats.
Fucking pick the plastic up!
Hey Allan! Thanks for watching! We did pick it up as well as any other rubbish we find on crossings....we just didn’t film me jumping in! Hope you enjoyed the video despite that! 👍😀
