Hey you two, good to hear from you. I’ve been waiting for some news for a while. Guess you have the same problem we all have. Can’t return to the boat 😩 I hope the situation is not too bad where you are. Here in Germany they’re all going nuts

[@SailingKawai]

@@thomasblesinger9374 Has been a weird time in Australia, but we are very lucky, we have very few deaths which is fortunate and it seems to be mostly under control currently. Hope you are safe and it will be great when we can all travel again, hopefully soon :)

[@stephanguitar9778]

My favourite part of the world, also originally from Aus. Love sailing. The wife does not, she likes TV so this we will never do. Was in Paros and Antiparos last September, insane wind. Nice boat you have. Hope Covid is not going to spoil the coming sailing season.

[@SailingKawai]

Hi Stephan, thanks for watching and great to hear from you! Was this when the Medicane ripped through? I love Paros, beautiful place! Unfortunately we are still back in Oz waiting for the vaccine before continuing the journey so I think this season will be missed. We are really lucky however and just using the time to work before heading back over :)

[@stephanguitar9778]

@@SailingKawai I think it was the Medicane, we left early to go back to Athens just in case we missed our flight back to UK but the trajectory of the storm changed and I think it headed south before hitting the Cyclades. Where is your boat now? Hopefully you can use it this year. Im still mooting getting a small yacht in Greece .I think there will be a lot for sale this year.

[@homeiswherethewindblows6689]

Oh my goodness that water is BEAUTIFUL!! such a change from our socal waters that are still a bit chilly this time of year!

[@SailingKawai]

Thanks guys, yes it's a beautiful place to sail, we love sailing Greece. Just saw you have a channel so I have subbed :). Hope the virus haven't slowed down your sailing adventures. Thanks again for watching

[@chrismalkin4070]

Love your gentle adventures and good humour. Please star safe and well in beautiful Oz.

[@SailingKawai]

Thanks Chris, thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoy the videos :). We will, thanks again, stay safe!

[@minkhs]

Tracey, you always look so great at the helms - so elegant and fashionable - keep it up :)

[@SailingKawai]

Thanks so much :)

[@chrismitchell3294]

5,000 subscribers! very cool and well done. So glad that you are both at home close to friends and family at this important time! Looking forward to the next videos. This is a time of rethinking our priorities and plans Stay safe Therese and Chris

[@SailingKawai]

Hey guys, thanks very much! Yes our priorities are health and we have been very lucky. Take care and keep safe and thanks for watching and getting in contact :).

[@thomasblesinger9374]

Nice one . Keep’em coming. 😀👍🤞

[@SailingKawai]

Hey Thomas, thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it!

[@ProjectReworked5336]

[@SailingKawai]

That would be great :) take care yourself!

[@peterb4620]

Great episode sailing from Mylos to Paros. Beautiful islands. Looking forward to more episodes. Stay safe.

[@SailingKawai]

Thanks Peter, glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching :)

[@sailingavocet]

Wonderful video!! this was a nice distraction from our current situation. We have been stuck in the boatyard during this wild month and are so close to our splash date we are worried the yard wont be back to work to splash us!!! Keeping positive and watching videos like yours are getting us through it all. soon we will be sailing again. Cheers

[@SailingKawai]

Hey guys, yes it's a weird time. Thanks very much for the kind words :). Seems so many people are stuck in boatyards all around the world, at least you can get all your jobs done hahaha. Best of luck getting on the water, take care and be safe!

[@sailingavocet]

Sailing Kawai thank you :) fair winds ~

[@parsgoker.]

Hi from Turkey guys! I've been watching you from the beginning of your journey. I want to say that I like your sincerity, naturalness, videos and especially music choices. As we know, we all got stuck in our homes because of the corona trouble. We hope that these days will pass as soon as possible. We all miss sea, sun, breeze, salt and sailing. Hoşçakalın.✋

[@SailingKawai]

Thank you so much!! Not sure what happened to our last comment, hope all is well :)

[@alaninglis1924]

Naousa is one of my must do stop overs but we usually are going the other way from Athens to Rhodes over three week charter, but it is always around June/ July so was interesting to see how the Islands are in the off season. Regards Alan (Greeksailing Holidays). Kiwi Skipper

[@SailingKawai]

Hi Alan, yeah we really love Naoussa :). How are you going? Where are you currently? Do you think you will be sailing this year?

[@alaninglis1924]

Sailing Kawai we are self isolating at home near Oxford in North Canterbury, South Island NZ. Very fortunate that we have a 12 acre life style block so don’t feel as if we are in lock down, although have not been out side the gate now for two weeks since level 4 Was imposed. My wife and I are in our 70s so are in the vulnerable group so not risking any movement outside of our property. As for future sailing, that will depend on the world situation and especially the Mediterranean area, which I see has been hit hard tourism wise. But never say never, I have several groups still keen to tick off the Greek Islands on their bucket list, so let’s see what happens. Hope you both stay safe and look forward to meeting up with you sometime. Kind regards Alan Inglis. (Greek Sailing Holidays)

Hello my friend very nice.

[@SailingKawai]

Hi, glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!

[@andreitudorjoanta9721]

Great to see you back on KZbin and to bring a little shade of sailing happiness. Unfortunately for us we will miss Marmaris regatta this month as we can't leave the UK but hopefully we will sail for two weeks in August. Stay safe guys xx

[@SailingKawai]

Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed the videos :). That's a shame, yes it seems everyone is stuck, good luck for the season, take care and stay safe!

[@stephenphelps9916]

Hi to you Both, Good to hear from you in these troubled times. Here onboard Scend Serendipity in Roccella Ionica, Southern Italy, I think there are worse places to be in the world during a lockdown. Warming up here and the springtime flowers and migrating birds keep me occupied with photography. Managing to steer clear of the Carabinieri too :-) Stay safe.

[@SailingKawai]

Hey Stephen, great to hear from you :). Glad you are finding things to do in these crazy times. Sounds lovely considering all the horrible news coming from Europe. Stay safe and chat soon!

[@duffwipeout]

Hi Following.you from Taupo NZ, loving your Vlogs

[@SailingKawai]

Hi John, thanks for watching! We are back in Australia currently due to covid and just about to head over to NZ (Queenstown). Hoping to get in some snow boarding, can't wait to explore NZ. Thanks for getting in contact!

[@duffwipeout]

Hi if you are passing through TAUPO, let us know. Our Daughter has just moved to Ithaca, looking after an Olive Grove..

[@sailingsecondwind3241]

Still loving your videos. We're letting you show us the way as we follow your footsteps down from Croatia. Can't wait to get to Milos. But it won't be this season. We're hoping to get out to Preveza to dust off our boat hopefully in June....... But the weather looks nice later on, so perhaps we'll stay in Greece through October, before heading back for the UK Autumnal weather.

[@sailingavocet]

they are great, have a safe journey!

Thanks guys!!!!

[@terrysmith1307]

Welcome back good to see ya this Corona thing is starting to bite now with all the restrictions in place but better to kick its Ass now rather than letting it get a hold stay safe you two loved the Vid

[@SailingKawai]

Hey Terry, good to hear from you. Yes we are lucky to be home, very lucky in Australia. Glad you enjoyed it mate, take care!

[@razisn]

Nice video. Vathy means deep. In the case of coves and anchorages it mostly refers to their horizontal rather than the vertical dimension. Deep inlands not necessarily deep water. It is a pity you did not have the opportunity to explore Sifnos more. It is a relatively undiscovered gem of a small island with beautiful architecture and the best food in the Cyclades.

[@SailingKawai]

Not sure where the comment I sent you went but thanks again, hope you are well :)

[@rossipop]

Hello you two.... You had my sub from Ep 2 and all liked. Sweet to know your safe. Come on then you have time on your hands lets have the next Ep..... much hugs

[@SailingKawai]

Hello!!! How are you? Yes you have been with us for the long run :). Hahaha we are busier than ever as we are both working full time. I will try to get the next one done quicker than the last one haha. Great to hear from you and take care yourself xo
