      Great! I’d love to show you the sewing projects. (I’m proud 🥰) Anything that’s expensive and coverable has got a cover to keep it lasting longer 😊. We will make a video to take you through them. Thanks! Jude

    I was hoping to hear about your travels beyond Monistir.
    I had a chuckle imagining your journey, about four hours long with a few "fuel stations" along the way. Are they the typical “fuel stations” as we generally know, or the Tunisian version? Maybe you even indulged in a roadside "leg of lamb" for lunch. I mention this because I spent a memorable couple of weeks in Tunisia about 12 years ago, journeying from Tunis to the Libyan border and back (work not holidaying). If those spots still exist, you'll know exactly what I mean.
    Regarding your destination of Qibili, you might not realise how close you were to a significant WWII battle site about 60km’s north of there.
    And you're absolutely right about the Roman ruins-impressively preserved with blissfully few tourists. I was fortunate to explore the ruins of Spleita, west of Monistir and past Kairouan.
    Absolutely, I couldn't agree more. Tunisia is a fantastic holiday destination, boasting a rich tapestry of culture, language, and ways of life to explore, something us "Southerners" rarely get to visit or experience.

      Sounds like you have seen some great things in Tunisia. With Jude being away, her being unwell when she returned and then my operation more than half the winter went by. We are looking forward to seeing a lot more next winter when we return.
      We did call in to one of those road side "service stations" on our way down to Qibili. One wayward cigarette away from disaster.

      @@sailinghelios2023 Ah, indeed, you're familiar with the scene I'm describing! Amidst it all-like the leg of lamb wrapped in Glad Wrap waiting to be cooked and the utes ferrying Prickly Pear Cactus-it's truly an eye-opening experience.
      What's particularly fascinating about these roadside fuel stations is how, come nightfall, they light themselves up with strung-open lights-I'm sure the same result of a wayward cigarette could occur, perhaps.
      Anyway, wishing you all the best, and here's to plenty more adventures for both of you to uncover next winter in Tunisia, let alone across the Med!

    I’m enjoying your travels, thanks for sharing. I’d like to see a tour of your boat, interior layout, did you opt for one or two heads etc. plus Jude’s sewing, is that something she’s done before? Look forward to following along on your journey.

    • @sailinghelios2023

      Great, thank you! This is Jude. We opted for the one head version as with just the two of us we don’t need a second head. T also means our cabin and wardrobe space is much bigger. We also went with the three cabin version (rather than two plus workshop) but to be honest the third cabin is just full of sails. We will make a boat tour video soon (it’s been on the list for a while) and take you through it.
      Yes, I’ve always sewn - mostly clothes and that has provided a very good basic knowledge for the canvas work. All the same skills really and canvas is generally much easier to work with than dress fabrics. Just stiff and heavy!
      Cheers

    are many people crazy enough sail back and forth from the med to the carribean each year?

    • @sailinghelios2023
      @sailinghelios2023  3 місяці тому

      Not really. Its quite a bit of sailing every year. I don’t think most people are that hard core

    Tened cuidado con el Mediterráneo, parece un mar de juguete pero puede ser brutal y eso se debe básicamente a la orografía que lo rodea.

    • @sailinghelios2023

      Yes, no doubt about that. In the meantime it’s a great place to sail with lots to see
