Great videos and music.

[@SailingKawai]

Thanks John, glad you are loving the videos :)

[@FrankHRitz]

very valuable that you write names and comments in your videos.

[@SailingKawai]

Thanks Frank, appreciate that, as we hope it helps if people are considering sailing the same area or just to get a better idea of where we are. As always, thanks for watching :)

[@antoniomarinic8211]

Great video,Korčula all day🥰🥰🥰

[@SailingKawai]

Thanks Antonio, glad you enjoyed the video! Yes Korcula is beautiful!

[@thomasblesinger9374]

I started watching your videos some time ago. Now I went back to some older ones. I really enjoy watching this. You transmit really cool vibes. Especially the song at the end with the pina coladas got me hooked. If you find that place,let me know. My boat is in Sicily at the moment and I’ll go back there in April. So I won’t be to far away from that dream place 😃👍

[@SailingKawai]

Hey Thomas, thanks so much, glad you are finding the vids chilled :). Hahaha yes I love that song! There are so many amazing places to visit, hope we run into each other on the water. Chat soon

[@nffremote]

Footloose and fancy free! Well done.

[@SailingKawai]

Haha trying to be Peter :) hope all going well with you!

[@danielhoyle3546]

Thank You for a great video.

[@SailingKawai]

Thanks Daniel, happy you enjoyed it :)

[@HNDevelopments]

Great video guys, hopefully you survived the thunderstorms we just had 👍.

[@SailingKawai]

Hey Nick, thank you :) we didn't get the storm thankfully! How is the boat hunting going?

[@HNDevelopments]

@@SailingKawai Glad to hear. It's probably the most difficult decision we have ever had to make. Everything we have purchased in the past has always been a business decisions. We have never bough anything for "us" so to speak, we are struggling. However with each viewing we are getting closer to figuring out what boat is best for us. We saw an 2016 elan 45 which has really taken our fancy, but has some draw backs. The Hanse 445 is still the best all rounder for our budget and for what we want to use it for. Just none in your wood colour for sale, sell us yours? Haha

[@SailingKawai]

We can definitely relate to that! It was the same for us, only other thing worth this much we have purchased has been property which always seemed like an easier decision. Hahaha sorry but we're quite attached to our boat :) It is tricky finding the light wood and then making sure everything else is right as well! Will send you insta message shortly, hope you're enjoying Croatia as much as we are!

[@arielcuschnir2538]

Dear Tracey and Jason. Thank you so much for sharing your videos and insights. I am in the process of searching for a boat to buy and sail de Med like you guys. You mentioned that the engine of your boat only had 500 hours. Do you mind sharing the age of the boat? and also, I always assumed buying a boat in Turkey meant one that was a past chartered sailboat. Are there opportunities like your boat with no chartering history? Thanks!! Ariel

[@SailingKawai]

Hi Ariel, thanks for getting in contact, sorry for the slow reply. We noticed a mixture of charter and personal boats. Usually the price is a great indication. I always had a variety of questions for each broker, asking this exact question with engine hrs etc. Our boat is a 2013 Hanse 445. There is definitely opportunities like our boat, you just need to be ready to act when they come up. We had a choice of 2 in Turkey, both great buys at the time, but both sold quickly. Hope that helps and best of luck :)

[@cesc-1447]

Hi, nice video! I will be sailing this August from Split to Dubrovnik going through Bar, Hvar, Vis, Korcula, Lastovo and Mljet. Any special anchorage recommendation or any tip?? thanks!

[@sailingtroublemaker]

Always like your videos! If you have time, I will be in Milna, Brač around the 6th of May.

[@SailingKawai]

Awesome glad you are enjoying our vids and thanks for watching :) cool, we are picking Jase's parents up early May and might be around that area, we'll let you know closer to the time and see where we're both at if that works.

[@sailingtroublemaker]

@@SailingKawai since the very first...

[@SailingKawai]

Hello! Have you arrived to Brac? It's a little chilly here at the moment!! What are your plans for tomorrow? Do you have instagram or email?

[@TonySaxby]

Love the music and we’re looking forward to sailing from Split in June. Make sure you visit Vis.

[@SailingKawai]

Hello! That's exciting, it will be nice and warm then, we are loving it here! Yeah we will try to visit Vis maybe in July when we come back heard good things about it. Happy to hear you love the music and thanks for watching :)

[@receprus-en8125]

croatia fiorts... mediterranian is beautifull thank you. fair winds !

[@SailingKawai]

It really is! As always, thank you for watching and your comment :)

[@davidwastney3573]

cool video guys.

[@SailingKawai]

Thanks David, glad you enjoyed :)

[@77GRasic]

Funny was just sailing two weeks ago a few islands further north - enjoy Croatia - maybe we meet at some nice anchorage at one of the beautiful Croatian islands in June ..

[@SailingKawai]

Hi Goran, nice I bet you enjoyed, it is beautiful here! We are hoping to go further north as well when we are back in July, maybe our paths will cross! Thanks for watching 😃

[@gavingrantham136]

Hi there guys, it would be great if you could lengthen the videos a bit or break it down into bigger segments between stops or overnight, otherwise its great to see where you have been or going to, keep up the great work and enjoy your time out there on the big blue, happy sailing and fair winds to you both.

[@SailingKawai]

Hi Gavin, thanks for your nice words and your feedback :) okay we'll try to work on that! Thanks again have a great day!

[@3581tossit]

Hello! My wife and I are planning to do some sailing in Croatia next summer. We've been warned about the corruption in Croatia and wondered if you encountered it during your time there. Any advice would be welcomed. Thanks, Mike

[@SailingKawai]

Hi Mike, we also read this and were concerned when arriving in Croatia. What we found was that you just need to be really organised and have a plan. Croatia is strict when checking in and out but if you do this immediately on arrival and departure you are fine. Research free anchorages in Croatia and you won't have any surprises. All very positive from our end. If you have further questions please ask, enjoy the trip :)

[@3581tossit]

@@SailingKawai Thanks for your response. Glad to hear things have gone well for you. Really enjoy your videos. Wishing you continued fun and adventure.

[@MatWag]

Hello 😂 Greets from Venice, going down Croatia end of May... look out for VAST 🖖

[@SailingKawai]

Hahaha hello Matthias! Awesome, how is Venice? We will keep an eye out for you, although I think we will most likely be in Montenegro end of May.

[@MatWag]

Hehe, going south again, very good! Following later... After rocking up here in 66 hours from Brindisi we docked in the morning and just had a first glance yesterday (as it was still sunny): crowded, OMG! Beautiful, too! We‘ll explore the next weeks, also see the Biennale of course. 👋

[@SailingKawai]

You must have been a little tired after that sail! We have been having quite a bit of southerly wind here so hopefully you did too. I bet it will be amazing, enjoy!

[@PLANTONE]

Wow great video have you seen what I did in 7 days in Dubrovnik?

[@pedropedroztravels8272]

Nice one Guys! see ya on the next one cheers :)

[@SailingKawai]

Cheers Pedro, hope all going well with your boat?!

[@JohnSmith-xn3fr]

haha, very creative pronunciations ! I'm from Croatia and I've sailed all the places you mention, but I could only understand Lumbarda and Korčula :) Nice video !

[@SailingKawai]

Haha John, yeah sorry, we are trying to learn the correct pronunciations but obviously not doing very well yet! Thanks for watching :)

[@sailingtroublemaker]

I bought a book which has been my bible to find beautiful achorages (The Best Adriatic Anchorages - Braslav Karlić, English version) I bought mine at the harbour master in Kut, Vis.

[@SailingKawai]

Hello :) ah okay, sounds like a good book to have. We have been relying on navionics and the internet which has been a little hit and miss in Croatia, although every anchorage we have been to so far has been beautiful!

[@tip00former1]

wow, those tags looked terrible regarding going upwind. Is that the boat? You should get at least 45 degrees with this boat right? No critique 😎

[@SailingKawai]

Hello! Haha, yeah you are right, our boat can do better however we sacrificed some angle to get a better direction into the swell which made our speed a bit faster and more comfortable. Plus the wind kept changing direction made it a little more tricky. Thanks for watching and your comment :)

[@johnperry7534]

Hey that boats quick ! What are you doing about visas long Term ? Any solutions to the EU Time limits for cruisers ? Thanks great work

[@SailingKawai]

Hey John! Haha yeah she can be! No, no solutions at this stage, we just have to move between Schengen and non Schengen areas which was part of our plan any way so it's no worries. I think if we wanted to stay longer in places we may be able to apply for long term tourist visas but we haven't looked into that. Thanks for watching :)

[@tihomirrasperic]

@John For Croatia is 90 days, then you can move to shengen zone (Italy, Greece, France, Spain) and there you can stay 90 days. and then you can return in croatia again ;), and all over again (no any paperwork needed until Croatia become member of Shengen zone) or you can apply for 1-year Tourist Visa, but you must have to convince the local police that you have money (70€/day for Croatia) for living here if you not work Tourist visa is not work-permit so if they found you in illegal work you will be deported from EU and get min 2-year ban for entry in all EU Country's www.mvep.hr/en/consular-information/visa www.expatincroatia.com/types-of-visa-in-croatia/

[@davidwestwood5968]

Funny thing that about islands?,water on both sides...hahaha...

[@SailingKawai]

LOL yeah Jase had a laugh at himself about it too, thought it would be picked up real quick, so thanks for giving us a laugh!

[@davidwestwood5968]

Sailing Kawai , life in a goldfish bowl lol..

[@klemenprezelj]

Don't miss Mljet, Vis, Lastovo, kornati archipelago.....

[@SailingKawai]

[@markidru]

We love watching your videos Jason and Tracy. My girlfriend and I are based in Split and would love to connect over coffee to learn more about your journey. Is there a way to get in touch?

[@SailingKawai]

Hey Mark! Yay, glad you guys enjoy our vids 😃. Do you have Instagram to send a direct message or email? We didn’t make it to Split and are now heading back towards Dubrovnik with Jase’s parents. We are hoping to get back to Split or near Split in July when we come back so maybe we can catch up then? If you have any specific questions before then we’re happy to answer 😃
