Just wanted to throw this out there (while you guys are off to the bathrooms) that I appreciate your thanks, but it's really not necessary guys. I have an empty aft cabin, you need a place to stay, 1+1 still ends up being 2. And it's a small favor I can do you in return for the hours of entertainment I've personally gotten off your content. And if anyone's wondering, the Wildlings in their videos are pretty much what you get in real life too :D
This is such a special time for you. Everything you are experiencing adds to who you are and your ability to live the life you love. No matter what you release or attain nothing means more than your love for each other. May you be blessed with whatever is truly best for you. You are a beautiful couple and you can be assured that we, your viewers love you. Highest Blessings
Also an Albin - Singoalla on boatshop24 . It's 34 ft long has a beta marine engine, solar panel arch. In Greece for £10,881 its an old boat but looks well looked after with new wiring , I think it said.
Talking of that blue Peugeot van there's one of those in the large storage shed where I keep all of my boats. Saw it there this morning. Identical to the one in the video.
I have to say your videos are so relaxing and real. they don't feel like many channels that excite everything to capture the audience but your videos are real and feel genuine. thank you very much. and your wife is lovely. good luck with everything. cheers.
Great to see you back ,,all you need to do is just stay positive , keep all options open and it will happen .. keep the stress levels down , be a little patient and you will be back on board sorting your gorgeous new boat out .. exciting times guys .. xx
Keep your heads up! A lot of us admire your bravery and are not brave enough to doing what you are doing. These are memories you will tell your grandchildren with immense pride and love!
Wow ! New haircut, GT sold; a new life is starting now ! I'm sure you'll find the right boat for your future adventure. And a boat with some comfort: shower ? Fridge? Good luck for the hunt ! Cheers from Lyon
Hi Ludovic! I think a shower and a fridge are pretty imprtant now, especially for full time liveaboards! hopefull we can sail over to Frejus again to see you
Hey you 2-just saw a Westerly 33 for 5k Pounds on yachtmarket, came on today- might want to check it out- boat is in Gibraltar- good luck with everything-great 🤗 to have back
@@WildlingSailing Sincerely Benny has the same? boat you have already an idea if it could work for you. I am in the middle of buying a boat and it is difficult right now, but it is doable with more info and a survey- good luck. And if Nadiyana cooks one of her fantastic dinners for Benny every so often,then you can prob. stay for ever 😆😆🤔.
Been watching the "Good Tidings" and this little Boat served you well and looking at the next Boat project, the first Boat you both looked the happiest dispite the size and limitations in going further afield.
Great to see you both back after a few weeks. Love your up beat spirit no matter what obstacles life throws your way. Happy hunting for your new boat and stay safe and well!
Hello ! I would suggest you stay clear of cored hull boats .I would suggest only solid fibreglass hulls. Cored hulls can be very iffy about delamination and / or water intrusion. Be well !
Right after to got into Benny's car the look in you eyes showed the sadness of leaving this chapter of you life. You had adventures and love in that boat. I'm looking forward (ok I cheated I saw new boat before I watched this) to your new adventures!
Looking sharp with a new haircut and goal to upgrade..... I think the schooner looks fantastic.... let's see more of that!!! There's an old saying that boats grow on trees because there are so many abandoned ones that are still sea worthy enough to be restored.... the boatyard is your oyster. Just decide what you need and pick a pearl! Don't gamble on a catamaran or steel or wood hull! You know what you want and if the marina will let you rebuild an abandoned vessel that could potentially free you up to do a little side travels to see the country in the spring.... by rail, bike and caravan; adding some spicy content to the recipe!!! Enjoy the opportunity and thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot, mate! Youre definitely right about a project giving us some sweet sweet UA-cam material! but we may miss some good sailing. either way, exciting times!
@@WildlingSailing actually, the only way to learn more about sailing and safety (on a budget) is to go sail other people's boats! Lol, sometimes they will pay all expenses until you are worth your salt to compensate for delivery... from an old salt who's still afloat, btw!
Good to see you guys again, congratulations on selling GT. I don't know what it's like in Europe but not alot seems to be coming to market in the UK, although once lockdown is over I'm hoping there will be a flood of new listings
Good luck finding your next boat I hope you keep the attitude of waiting for the perfect boat to fall in your lap and don’t settle for something just because you don’t think you can afford it.
Port st Louis is a good place to find a boat. I sold mine in 98 through Mr Wolf, working at the office there. May i suggest to pay a bit extra and to have less work to do... if y got a small budget, definitely no cat... good luck guys!
Hi you two, I’ve tried to follow your videos but I’m at Minke stage when you are sailing with parents but now lost you ,wish you had numbered your vids . I’m 71 and really enjoying your adventures.
You guys have great energy and good news on selling the boat. Wish I knew of a good deal going for you but I’m sure you will find the right boat for you. Best wishes. Andy UK
..... exciting times can be really fun .... it is all about what you make of it ...... thx for the share, loved seeing all those different shapes of boats .... as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....
@@WildlingSailing .. yes you are so right and if two have the same dreams even better ... thank you for your response .... have an absolutely rewarding week .....
@@chriszanf Yes; it was back in the early 70's and I was an impoverished apprentice. In some ways a shopping trolley would have been easier I think, especially moving the double bed.....
Sad to see your best friend for a coupe of years go I hope you find another boat to love soon. I really want to see you sailing again as I feel you two have become a couple of extra grandkids who have sneaked into my heart. Good tidings to you and I wish you all the best, Please keep posting on your search and thoughts,
Well done in selling the boat. Sorry to hear of your predicament it will be short lived. Whatever you do don’t rush into anything, I’m sure you know that. Have you looked at FB for local deals on boats or advertise on there. Good luck hope all goes well
Good to see you both fit and well again. Lots of good advice as always in the comments. Yes do not buy because you feel you need to, definitely take your time. If you buy a project boat DO NOT THINK OF LIVING ON IT AND DOING IT UP AT THE SAME TIME, it will drive you both mad! Even if you have to live in a tent alongside it on the hard, work will progress much better and less chance of a divorce.
Nice to see you guys back. Brings back some memories we spent 3 weeks in Navy Service’s in 1998. It was a very new venture at the the and I would think there were probably only 20 maybe 30 boats ashore at that time. Don’t rush into buying a boat until you are certain it is the one for you. Good luck
I don’t know if things have changed that much but as you come down the canal as you get to Navy services there were 3 mooring buoys on the right. We sat for 3 days moored to one of them bow to the quay while a minstrel blew it self out. To be honest it was quite scary.
@@mikeharrison5089 those are long gone, the rest is pretty much still the same. I'd guess better sanitary facilities, but it's still the same "working" yard with the same sort of characters on it :D
Being able to sell your boat before finding a replacement keeps the stress a bit lower, even though living out of a suitcase can get old quick. Just be sure your purchase will see you happy well into the future....don't rush. Your haircut makes you look younger and healthier Mark. Of course Nadiyana need not change one single thing :). Thank you two for this neat update!!
Cheers Ed! Youre absolutely right about living out of a suitcase!! but we also dont want to rush. I think I needed to bring my hair in line with nadiyanas cuteness :D
I think you're in a great position having sold GT in what are uncertain times for boating and now being cashed up and able to move on. Your new aft cabin home reminded me of the boats that I've owned and lived on; luckily I like small spaces! That yard you're living in looks like a fascinating place. I bet there's a boat in it for you, and if there is you can save money and time by getting straight into it. I don't believe there's such a thing as an ideal boat; just one which does the job for you at the time. My best wishes to you both as always.
Great to have you back and I have to say your both looking fine! So sat that you had to leave GT but it had to be done and I am sure the right boat is just around the corner. 🧐
@@WildlingSailing We sail every year in greece, it IS possible to sail the hole season without paying fees in bays or harbours. the general fees are Dekpa 50€ a year and Tepai under 10m 25, 10-12m 33 and 100€ over 12m per month
I really enjoy your show. You are such a cute couple. Sometime you should consider visiting Canada and sailing the Great Lakes. Thousands of islands, bays, caves, isolated beaches and areas of complete wilderness. Take care, safe sailing, fair winds and following seas.
If you do consider the cat and I suggest you can get it for much less than 10k because there is no interest it has obviously been on the hard for a long time which means it is racking up bills. Have a look at the sailing Lady Africa channel to see what a difference renovation can do. Certainly too much space is a problem unless you are considering starting a family however it is much less of a problem than too little space. Maybe I got it wrong but you are considering an ocean crossing to the Islands where you will be spending a lot more time on the hook so the extra cost of moorings which can be 1.25 to 2 times will not apply.
So sad to see you go.. don’t go, please don’t go! .... wait, you’re not going anywhere :) Happy to see you take the next half step. Somebody said it already but I want to say to you anyway, put your mainsail up!! No, no, jokes aside, don’t buy the next boat based on you feeling forced to do it cause you need a roof over your head or something like that. Looking forward your next episodes. Bon chance!! 😊
Wow, exciting news! Good to see you guys again, I have missed you! Congrats on the sale! Hope you will find your new home soon, a very suitable place for the two of you! So take extra good care of each other now that you're homeless, hopefully it won't be like that too long!
Now that you pulled the trigger too soon on GT you are a couple of Wilding Warf Rats looking for a new bilge to nest in. Good luck and happy hitch hiking !!!
Throwing in my sixpence worth of maybe helpful info.. First you have to know what you intend to do with the boat.. As has been said by others Cats are nice and comfortable to sail and lie easy at anchor or on a mooring but cost twice as much on a pontoon berth in a marina. But a good choice.. As regards the upkeep on a used boat ,the hull/keel is number one and the rigging and engine next.. BUT as i and others who have followed you from the beginning have noticed your actual "sailing" career has been minimal and none in any rough weather that would tax a boats rigging. So if you intend to carry on like that you would be better to make sure you have a reliable engine for motor sailing and doing quick flits along the coast as you have been doing. Anyway, Good Luck and stay safe both of you..
I miss Good Tidings already but the new boat looks nice. I can't believe you left the upside down guitar behind but it will hopefully be happy. If the new owner is also on UA-cam, it would be nice to get a link. 😎
Having two boats at once probably more stressful. blue van did look nice. No good boats on eBay now except over priced, last week there were a couple nice deals, Tayana37 and Morgan 38
Hi Nadiyana, who's the new guy. Looks pretty young. The one with the short hair i mean. Great to see you both again. So I guess it's creeping around to your northern spring. Weather will be getting warmer again. Will be fantastic to see your progress with your search. Looking forward to new episodes. Take care and stay safe. Atb from down here in NZ.
another item you might want is around 600 Watts of solar power and at least a 2000W inverter for charging all your items over night plus cooking with Hot pot and or Convection Micro Wave.
What is your budget for buying a sailboat? What size? Its good to see you two again and I hope you find the perfect boat! I will look here in Norway...
Great to see you both again!! I have missed you :) hope you had a good break. Congratulations on the sale of GT and I really hope you find a new boat to you soon :) I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you guys! If all goes well, I'll be in Marbella at the end of May for my Day Skipper practical, so if you happen to sail that way, dinner is on me :)
Hey welcome back I was getting worried 😦 😢 so sad to say goodbye to GT but look forward to the next episode. Right decision to buy in the med👍 I’m thinking you guys are in it for the long haul I’d be looking for a 40 foot if you can.
If you are still interested in suggestions, knowing what boat you where planning to buy would help to narrow down the type of thing you might be interested in.
Hi Mark & Nadiyana, it’s just occurred to me that you will only have till the end of March, or maybe April ( not sure how long you were back in the UK for), then your 3 months in the Schengen will have expired. So please be careful, don’t want you copping a massive fine or prison. Barnacle Bern 👍👍
I've never seen boats going so cheap here in the UK, I think you'd get more bang for your buck back home, Westerlies are virtually being given away! Get a boat with shoal draught that can take the ground, bilge keel or long with legs, avoid fin keelers, save you a fortune in oh so many ways.
Big changes 👏 take your time and find the right boat. It may be your home for the next ......years. I know its easy to say but when you need a home the pressure is on but its easy to rent or stay in a hostile and find the right boat. As others have said offer low just cause the are asking £xxx doesn't mean they won't accept less. As they say its a buyer's market, good luck 👍🏻⚓⛵🏴
There's things to be said for having an aft cabin ;) Not only can you put up 2 Wildlings with relative ease, it also doubles as a convenient storage compartment!
Hi Guys, Good to see you in good shape and spirit ! Like i said before about a month ago: As your budget is tight, these times (covid) are in your favour. Dare to make an offer half the asking price. We have an old Dutch saying( now we sound like a old wise chinese man haha): The answer "NO" you already have, it might turn into an unexpected "YES" ! If you do not try, you will never know the outcome. Good luck and warm regards from Grong Grong AUstralia. John and Sandra
Hello lovely Wildlings, my better half and I have just bought a Colvic Sea Rover which is in generally good order. The interior is a bit basic with not much storage space built in - we really like the interior of Good Tidings and use of space, especially the galley (which we intend to copy). After living on GT, what would you have changed or added to her to make her an even more comfortable / practical living space? Thanks in advance, Andrew & Paula xx
Another great vid..but sad you have sold her..really liked her.....you two are naturals on camera...have followed you all the way from Bangor...I would say the perfect boat for you would be a colvic motor sailor 31.. loads of living space below decks. Built like brick outhouses..lol.....good luck in your search.....more vids soon please...Chris..
The way you talk about Good Tidings as a person shows that you are true Sailors and learned your lesson. The right boat will select you as her new caretakers. Have faith, and go with your instincts. When you walk on to your boat, you will know! Take a good friend with you as a surveyor and devils advocate.
Everyone needs a Nadyana in their life! Such positivity and calmness is very valuable, she's great!
Absolutely!
Just wanted to throw this out there (while you guys are off to the bathrooms) that I appreciate your thanks, but it's really not necessary guys. I have an empty aft cabin, you need a place to stay, 1+1 still ends up being 2. And it's a small favor I can do you in return for the hours of entertainment I've personally gotten off your content.

Ahhh thanks, Ben. But are you really sure about the last part? I'm sure you'll be getting sick of us soon
Good to have all this verified Ben 😉 I was assuming they pretty much are themselves, and now I have that clarified. 👌🏽
@@MiQBohlin haha, yeah :D
Nice gesture Sir
Very generous and hospitable of Ben to provide refuge. So nice for all of you that the aft cabin is seperate from forwards accomodation.
Love the haircut. Can't wait to see the new boat. Keep living the good life

Good luck, that's a bit of a tricky situation. Don't buy because you have to. Camp in that blue van if you need more time 🙂
I reckon that old blue van would make a decent little home
That trident warrior on eBay is now up for £6000.

Throwing in my sixpence worth of maybe helpful info.. First you have to know what you intend to do with the boat.. As has been said by others Cats are nice and comfortable to sail and lie easy at anchor or on a mooring but cost twice as much on a pontoon berth in a marina. But a good choice..
As regards the upkeep on a used boat ,the hull/keel is number one and the rigging and engine next.. BUT as i and others who have followed you from the beginning have noticed your actual "sailing" career has been minimal and none in any rough weather that would tax a boats rigging. So if you intend to carry on like that you would be better to make sure you have a reliable engine for motor sailing and doing quick flits along the coast as you have been doing. Anyway, Good Luck and stay safe both of you..
No it's not in Gibraltar.It's in uk and hasn't gone onto the market yet.
Hang in there guys!
Good Luck with finding a new to you's two and safe, solid mono yacht. Maybe a Cruiser with a long keel!
I miss Good Tidings already but the new boat looks nice. I can't believe you left the upside down guitar behind but it will hopefully be happy. If the new owner is also on UA-cam, it would be nice to get a link. 😎
Having two boats at once probably more stressful. blue van did look nice. No good boats on eBay now except over priced, last week there were a couple nice deals, Tayana37 and Morgan 38
it's dried up a bit for sure
Hi Nadiyana, who's the new guy. Looks pretty young. The one with the short hair i mean. Great to see you both again. So I guess it's creeping around to your northern spring. Weather will be getting warmer again. Will be fantastic to see your progress with your search. Looking forward to new episodes. Take care and stay safe. Atb from down here in NZ.
Thanks for coming back Bryan!! lets hope for some faster progress and a new boat by friday, but who knows!
@@WildlingSailing FYI, my beer fridge is full again after a longish summer. Just planning your route guys. Haha 😄
Take care.
another item you might want is around 600 Watts of solar power and at least a 2000W inverter for charging all your items over night plus cooking with Hot pot and or Convection Micro Wave.
New Boat...
Suggestion.Buy a boat in US or Caribbean..We lived aboard for years..yachts good value & great places to live
Your looking at a new future so find that new boat and get along with life.
Decent used boats have zoomed upwards in price since last March 2020 quite Inline with the used car market .
What is your budget for buying a sailboat? What size? Its good to see you two again and I hope you find the perfect boat! I will look here in Norway...
Cheers mate! 35 - 40 less than 12k :D
Good luck with the search 👍
Cheers, Graham!
Great to see you both again!! I have missed you :) hope you had a good break. Congratulations on the sale of GT and I really hope you find a new boat to you soon :) I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you guys! If all goes well, I'll be in Marbella at the end of May for my Day Skipper practical, so if you happen to sail that way, dinner is on me :)
Cheers, Motters! oohh hopefully we'll have something we can sail by then, were not sure whether to head to spain or the other way yet
Keep your chin up love and best wishes. Looking forward to more of your videos
Cheers, Chris!
Liked, glad you guys are on an adventure.
Would love to see a video of why you sold (maybe I missed it). Mainly because I had one on my list of boats I am currently considering.
you two are an inspiration , keep going guys ,as it says above the bed aboard my ship sovereign bay (dreams do come true ,, true story )
Hey welcome back I was getting worried 😦
😢 so sad to say goodbye to GT but look forward to the next episode.
Right decision to buy in the med👍 I’m thinking you guys are in it for the long haul I’d be looking for a 40 foot if you can.
Thanks John. Yes, were definitely in it for the long haul, now were open to even bigger boats than we thought before
Good Luck Guys
I recon just wandering around a few marinas this time of year will reap rewards. You'll find a bargain!👍🏼
Great to see you both Nadiyana what have you done to Mark's hair🤭 good Luke on your viewing for a new home(boat) ⛵⛵take care both of you 👍
Cheers, John! haha she made me do it!
Come home Mark social services mate will resolve the problem 👍😏🤣
If you are still interested in suggestions, knowing what boat you where planning to buy would help to narrow down the type of thing you might be interested in.
33 - 40 foot, not shy of a bit of work 10 - 12k, maybe more for the right thing
Hi Mark & Nadiyana, it’s just occurred to me that you will only have till the end of March, or maybe April ( not sure how long you were back in the UK for), then your 3 months in the Schengen will have expired. So please be careful, don’t want you copping a massive fine or prison. Barnacle Bern 👍👍
I was wondering same thing.
we're getting residencies, dont worry yourselves!
I've never seen boats going so cheap here in the UK, I think you'd get more bang for your buck back home, Westerlies are virtually being given away! Get a boat with shoal draught that can take the ground, bilge keel or long with legs, avoid fin keelers, save you a fortune in oh so many ways.
Big changes 👏 take your time and find the right boat. It may be your home for the next ......years. I know its easy to say but when you need a home the pressure is on but its easy to rent or stay in a hostile and find the right boat. As others have said offer low just cause the are asking £xxx doesn't mean they won't accept less. As they say its a buyer's market, good luck 👍🏻⚓⛵🏴
Yes, we need to keep reminding ourselves that it's a buyers market and we need to take our time!
I really enjoyed the music in this one
Cool hairdo, Mark ! Interesting times. If I had an aft cabin locally it would be lovely to have you both aboard. I will email.
There's things to be said for having an aft cabin ;) Not only can you put up 2 Wildlings with relative ease, it also doubles as a convenient storage compartment!
Cheers, Justin! yes very interesting times! ill hit you back on the email
Hey Mark brill haircut quite cool, can't wait to see the next boat.
keep an eye open for an auction.......in french, "Encan de bateau " maybe you might find a deal.
Nice one, Ill see if i can find any online
Ben! You are the best! Reno clio👍
They were lime and plain trees near the boules area.
Ahh, they look so sad with no leaves
Hi Guys, Good to see you in good shape and spirit ! Like i said before about a month ago: As your budget is tight, these times (covid) are in your favour. Dare to make an offer half the asking price. We have an old Dutch saying( now we sound like a old wise chinese man haha): The answer "NO" you already have, it might turn into an unexpected "YES" ! If you do not try, you will never know the outcome. Good luck and warm regards from Grong Grong AUstralia. John and Sandra
Nee heb je en ja kun je krijgen? ;) Was oma's favoriete gezegde...
Hi John! yes, its definitely worth trying a few low offers we'll keep searching!!
My guess is the cream ketch at 14.19min , it got me.
Sadly not for sale, but it is damn nice :D
haha, lovely boat that
Steal is good. Do any of the steal ones have water tight bulkheads for off shore sailing?
Hello lovely Wildlings, my better half and I have just bought a Colvic Sea Rover which is in generally good order. The interior is a bit basic with not much storage space built in - we really like the interior of Good Tidings and use of space, especially the galley (which we intend to copy). After living on GT, what would you have changed or added to her to make her an even more comfortable / practical living space? Thanks in advance, Andrew & Paula xx
Good luck in your search for a new home.
Thanks, Richard!!
Really miss you guys!
aww, so glad to be back on the tube!
Well done guys, happy hunting!!
Great video. Cant wait to see what ya'll get. Good hunting.
Cheers mate!
Another great vid..but sad you have sold her..really liked her.....you two are naturals on camera...have followed you all the way from Bangor...I would say the perfect boat for you would be a colvic motor sailor 31.. loads of living space below decks. Built like brick outhouses..lol.....good luck in your search.....more vids soon please...Chris..
yes, love those motorsailors, watsons and fishers
The way you talk about Good Tidings as a person shows that you are true Sailors and learned your lesson. The right boat will select you as her new caretakers. Have faith, and go with your instincts. When you walk on to your boat, you will know! Take a good friend with you as a surveyor and devils advocate.
Yes, great advice. there has to be no doubt involved!
