Thanks guys - the more time that passes the less it matters, although we’re just in the boatyard gearing up to repair it so there will probably be some more cussing 🤬 😉⛵️
Continue to enjoy these videos and impressed with the navigation and communiction skills! " just buff that out"... applies to classic cars too. A story when we see you next 😅
Great video. We love watching you guys as we are in the same boat (pun intended) as we are brand new and will be in the Ionian this summer. Our boat is in Aktio Marina. Sorry the scratch happened, I’m sure it was heartbreaking. Also thanks for the tip for Navily premium. I just downloaded it.
How exciting for you guys! The Ionian is such a beautiful sailing (motoring!) region! Glad you find our content useful and yes, the premium Navily subscription pays for itself in terms of keeping us out of trouble, mostly 😉⛵️ Thanks so much for watching ☺️
I remember when I sailed Lafkas and point s south, [Vilha bay included] it was beautiful, but the Meltemi & Meterini winds always appear unannounced. You would be sailing in 10 knots of breeze then WHAM! 20-25 knots in an instant. Anhored in Vilha Bay and overnight we had a wicked storm that kept us up most of the might. Overall the Ioanian sea was great.
I hope we have a chance to go back to Vhilo and Lefkas, we didn’t even have time to get off the boat. I bet you had lots of good times in the area, it’s beautiful! ⛵️
What did Pete have written in his book? Is it a log book? Just wondering. Well done for navigating Lefkada Canal. We too pay for Navily. Its a great app. Did you know that its also used by backpackers? We've had about 50 people contact us on route to the Caribbean asking for passage across or to the next stop. I did feel for you, we've all had situations like that and we have marks just like yours on our hull so don't feel too bad 🥰⛵️
Hey there - thanks for the words of encouragement and that is interesting about Navily, wish we had it in our backpacking days 😉. Pete was making a note of answers to the questions he expected the bridge to ask us when we asked permission to transit. He’s like a deer in headlights in the VHF 🫣, as you know it can be hard to understand accents, so he likes to be prepared 🤓⛵️😊
Great to see you going again - good to have ya back! Don’t beat yourself up, happens to the best of us!
