That might have been quite an experience :)

Nope, in Serifos there is a small port and you have to drop your anchor on the other side, then move reverse into your berth. This guy obviously did not drop his anchor, probably thought there were bow lines, so when he was finally berthed he found out he should have used the anchor. And that is where the fun started.

Try Croatia :)

@@LIVEINFULLCOLOR The same but with added risk of very large, great white sharks.

Well, dont go to Cyclades July, August, Meltemi will kick your ass. Cyclades May, June, September. Ionian islands for July, August or at most Sporades with a close look on the weather forecast

This way you can fit much more boats then just side ways to the dock. Only problem is that the majority of the charter boats don't know how to do a stern to mooring.

@@davedavids9619 Fit more boats ? but then you have to pay extremely high mooring costs. This should be cheap.

@@CorM1 the ports and marinas operating in this way want to earn as much money as they can, so this is the way they do it. If you show up with a catamaran you pay 1.5 times or sometimes twice the standard fee. There are ports and marinas in the Med where you need to pay 400 euro per night for a 45' boat. It is getting expensive to go out with a boat.

Here People pay with a 40 cq 50 footer around 45 euro,s pro night.

For renting a bareboat yacht charter in Croatia you must have a valid skipper licence and VHF radio licence (both must be internationally valid or issued in Croatia)

@@LIVEINFULLCOLOR Thanks 🙏

Where exactly? Do you maybe know the coordinates? Or link from google maps?

@@LIVEINFULLCOLOR You can moor at the pier with a log from the south side, and a ferry comes from the north 37.42.29 - 23.22.06

@@dronsimon9069 I see it now. Good to know, thank you

It was based on your previous knowledge, milage and achieved level of theory. This company, where I made the licence explained us, that they perform this with combined crew. So some for Day skipper, some for Competent crew and some for Coastal Skipper. And all was set in advance, so for which level are you in.

But if you don't put your anchor down properly, you can have a 100 tons boat anchor and will do no good for you 🤷‍♂️

O O Yes har sett dessa händelser 100 tals gånger har man tid blir nöje att följa med en kopp kaffe i sittbrunnen

Lazy lines are rarely seen in Greece

Glad you enjoyed it!

That is what we were thinking the whole time watching it 🤷‍♀️

Look at red flag on the left boat ! Guessing that’s Livardi? where I’ve personally recorded a 45kt cross wind. 😂 It looks like the perfect sheltered bay but the wind blows down off those mountains and straight across the little harbour. Holding isn’t great either for those in the bay and most drag. Fenders are on but too far back and those on the right aren’t doing much people charter the Cyclades and they’re definitely not for the inexperienced or faint hearted at times 😂😂😂

@@Fyn123 Serifos Livadi, yes. Inside the bay can be 1 bf more intense than outside. It is common for this bay, due to its shape. We stayed in for 2 nights, next day was much more intense, gusts well over 45 knots

@@LIVEINFULLCOLOR3 spare fenders on the other side 👀

Good skipper cooperates well with Meltemi :)

Hvala na jos jednom zanimljivim videu. I always like at the end the part with the costs and the conclusion. Next year I hopefully will Go sailing to greece with some friends who have never been sailing before and before that I'll Show them your video. Da vide kako je lepo i da se isplati. Lep pozdrav iz nemacke.

When you know what to do and how to do it properly, sailing can be easily compared with other types of vacation, regarding price. If you count that you have all the freedom to go wherever you want and that you are really close to the nature, I believe sailing is the best. Ako imate bilo kojih pitanja u vezi sa jadrenjem, slobodno pitajte :) I puno hvala na podršci

It is really special place to see it in person 👍👍

It's my pleasure! :)

I will drop you a link to the point of entrance in google maps: maps.app.goo.gl/U7nnritjnLdbtLwUA

Yes, it is endorsed for non tidal waters. Greeks recognise it without any doubt.

😜

Yes, we also ones did the appraisal for that day in nearby cafe 🤣

And thank you for your opinion about my video. I'm glad that it helps :D

Thank you for your opinion. Pozdrav Dule i tebi u Nemačku :)

Thank you 😁

I am glad, that my video is helpful :) Thank you.

My son is in charge for fishing. In Croatia he has some luck already, but in Greece we are still waiting for his first serious catch 😉😉

I am thinking and dreaming about sailing beyond the Mediterranean, but it hasn't worked out yet. However, I believe it will in the future, along with obtaining my Offshore Yachtmaster certification. Thank you for your info 👍👍👍

And I am very glad that you enjoyed the video :D

Thank you, Norman 👍

Thank you Chris. I appreciate it 🙏🙏

Thank you too!

I tottaly agree with you. Legally, you don't need anything other than the Boat Leader's License of Competence. But the level of knowledge required to obtain it is only a small fraction of what you need to demonstrate for the RYA. Sadly, most of those with the Boat Leader's License usually don't even know the basic rules of meeting at sea - Col Regs

@@LIVEINFULLCOLOR I've never heard of a boat leader's licence. I've sailed in UK waters since 1987. I know of no legal requirement for qualification. The RYA has fought against such things for years and deserve support. If people keep talking about licenses they will get what they wish for and another freedom will be lost. It is possible these days to get discounts on insurance with RYA qualification so that is an advantage.

​@@mjcooke2sailingmostly I don't know how are things in UK, but in many countries somesort of certificat is mandatory as follows: In Greece, the license requirements for boating are: Motorboats: A license is required for operating motorboats with an engine power over 30 HP (22.3 kW). Sailboats: A license is required for sailboats, regardless of engine power, if they are longer than 7 meters. Slovenia: Requires a Boat Leader's License for vessels up to 24 meters or with engine power over 7.35 kW. Croatia: Requires a license for all boats with an engine, regardless of size or power. Italy: Requires a license for boats with an engine stronger than 41 HP (30 kW), and for boats sailing more than 6 nautical miles from the coast. Spain: Requires a license for boats longer than 5 meters (for motorboats) and 6 meters (for sailboats), or for boats with engine power over 15 horsepower (11.2 kW). France: Requires a license for motorboats with engine power over 6 horsepower (4.5 kW) if sailing more than 2 nautical miles from the coast. Germany: Requires a license for motorboats with engine power over 15 horsepower (11.2 kW) and for boats sailing on rivers or open sea.

@@LIVEINFULLCOLOR Yes, but not UK. I sailes Spain and Portugal with nobody asking for qualifications. People can apply for that certificate if they want,, wise if sailing Europe. RYA qualifications always good and worth getting as long as not forced on people. I have Yachtmaster Offshore theory and many thousand miles of my own sailing where I really learnt things. I would recommend Bob Bond and Steve Sleigh's book 'Cruiser handling' Bob Bond a top RYA man. This is quite old now but easy learning. I had that as a novice before crewing Port Elizabeth to Martinique 1985.

@@mjcooke2sailingmostly I agree, nothing should be forced

Thank you for your kudos. I must admit, that this was also my most intensive english course :)

😁

Thank you for asking. This is the link for the school: www.7seassailing.com/

I am very satisfied that the video is helpful and that you like it :)

Heard about it, next time for sure. Thank you

sounds good!

I've been in Croatia many times, more on charter boats than on private-owned and there is always the same problem - 30 or max 40 meters of chain. In a few weeks I go again in middle Dalmatia (Trogir), this time with a slightly bigger boat (45) and hope for longer chain. Otherwise I'll put my own rope on it and prolonge it :). In this area there is not so many marinas and bays where they put ''bojas'' for charging. And for night for such a boat it could be even more than 100 EUR

Hvala :)

Depends on what they want to see 🤣
