Why have you not got more subscribers Michael ? Love your videos. I have been getting my Bavaria 36 ready to set sail to the Mediterranean from UK next June. Plan to bring it down coast of France round to Spain and up via Majorca onto Italy and Greece. So can’t wait and at 56 YO I am ready to start exploring by sail boat ⛵️ with my wife and daughters joining in between school.

+@MOTOUK1 Hi , Thanks so much for your compliment. Maybe because it’s sort of a personal challenge and I don’t promote or publish that often. In fact I’m working on what may be my last of this adventure. What a great plan you have, I wish you all the best. Cheers 🍻

How do you like the dinghy
@sailingadventureswithgrandad Ай бұрын
Hi, I just saw your question. The dingy has pros and cons. On the plus side is that she is durable and puncture proof and am amazing row boat. On the con side is that she is tipsy and for guests it is at times dicey. Im thinking of a hard bottom inflatable but haven’t decided yet. I do like rowing her when Im on my own but with others I use the electric outboard and it’s great. Thanks for the question and sorry I was so slow in responding.

Hi Michael, thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and gorgeous images. I find myself questioning time and time again whether to go to Greece and appreciate your suggestion to sail outside of the peak months of July and August but where do you leave your boat in the middle of high season? Any recommendations for that? Fair Winds! Eelco
@sailingadventureswithgrandad 4 ай бұрын
+@eelcostoffels Hello Eelco! This year as last I use Porto Heli Marina as a base and do sail in the high season but not the so much the islands , due to the Meltemi and heat. I stay more along the coast of the Penepolese. The heat is a challenge and I’m not at all sure about next season. Good sailing and thanks for your interest 🙏
