Across the Sole - Sailing Helios S02E09

Our voyage continues as we set sail from Sicily, heading towards the Italian mainland. Over the next five days, we'll be travelling along the sole of the boot of Italy, gearing up for our exciting crossing to Greece.
Join us on this adventure where we experience a bit of everything - from sunshine to rain, from 2 knots of wind to 25 and we spend a bit of time on a lean with plenty of upwind sailing, So sit back, relax, and enjoy life on board with us.

Such an easy listening/ watching channel. Thanks for keeping the 5 year dream alive.

[@sailinghelios2023]

Thanks, happy to keep fuelling the dream

[@hanssauer123]

Your videos are getting better by the week. Keep it up. And thank you.

[@sailinghelios2023]

Thanks so much! Richard puts so much work into editing. Your message is encouraging. Jude.

[@Avi-sf8ld]

You guys are an inspiration!! Love this channel. Thank you so much

[@sailinghelios2023]

Thank you! You’ve made our day 💕. Richard puts so much work into making these and a comment like yours makes it worth it 😊. Jude

Short n. 8 boat fun è fantastico. Dove vedere di più?

[@andrewmcfarlane5040]

Lovely trip. Thanks for sharing. Good luck guys

[@sailinghelios2023]

Our pleasure!, thank you

[@mrstephenthomas100]

Not sure about the budgie smugglers !!!

[@sailinghelios2023]

Hah! You can blame me (Jude) for them. I got them in Australia for Richard and, being the champ he is, he’s wearing them 😊.

Great sailing video! Following your steps as I am in Ponza at the moment. Cheers

[@sailinghelios2023]

Oh nice! We loved Ponza. We did a video on it. We won’t be back there this summer. I hope you’re loving it. Check out Pilate’s caves.

[@simontrevisan5598]

On the way back the town of Gallipoli is a beautiful walked city/port and well worth investigating. Safe sailing for the crossing

[@sailinghelios2023]

Thanks for the tip. We will try to check it out

[@marklong8875]

I'll be interested to see if you experience any seastate confusion when passing the heel of the boot, where two seas converge? We experienced it a few years ago, seas were totally unrelated to winds or weather systems.

[@sailinghelios2023]

Hi Mark, we will cross from Crotone to Preveza so will be about 35Nm below the heel so I doubt we would see this effect that far south.

Sorry but I have to comment on judes knitting, I'm a knitting widower 2rooms full of wool, expeditions to wool shops, she follows a Dutch bloke on KZbin a learned how to knitting holes and strange other styles of knitting. I didn't know that different cultures knitted differently like the Germans knit in a strange manner to the English. Has Jude got a large supply of wool and has Jude studied many different styles of knitting

[@sailinghelios2023]

So sorry for your loss - oh wait, she’s still alive 🤣. We don’t have stashes of anything on a boat. No room even if we wanted to. We stumble across a shop occasionally and stock up for the next project but that’s all. When Jude’s knitting I’m usually at the helm or just watching the conditions. So it’s a nice peaceful time together. I asked her, she said she’s normally an English method knitter and switches to one colour Continental method, one English method when doing colour work (if that makes any sense to you). All the best. Thanks for reaching out.

Usual story. Calling in from Nz. So stumbled on your channel. Liked and subscribed. Temps seem to be up and down along that southern coast, going by your choice of clothing.? Very curious for down there. Anyway thanks for sharing. Take care.

[@sailinghelios2023]

Thanks for subscribing. At this time of the season the north wind is still quite cold so depending on the wind direction the temperature changes a lot. Once the European continent heats up there does seem to be much of a difference, bloody hot in both directions

[@bryanbadger6841]

@@sailinghelios2023 Gotcha. 👍

[@anonymousyoutube7259]

Great to see you both minimally dressed (even given the ridiculous print on Richard's suit). So many channels have the woman flouncing about in a tiny bikini while the man wears knee-pants. Guys like to wear little/nothing too!

[@sailinghelios2023]

We agree!amd frankly it’s too hot to wear much at all. I (Jude) found Richard’s bathers in Australia when I last went home - and to his credit he just laughed and wears them 😊

[@antoniomarmotta5630]

Speriamo presto prossimo video. Non si può aspettare troppo. Quel COSTUME rosso dell' episodio tSO1E19 è troppo invitante da sciogliere

[@simontrevisan5598]

You should be trolling a lure. You are in blue fin tuna and swordfish country

[@sailinghelios2023]

We have stopped eating meat this year so the fishing gear has been put away. It just works better with this lifestyle to not need to rely on it

[@MarkWild-zk3xc]

Please keep the budgie smugglers under wraps....its looks like desperation, lol!

Video tempestato da pubblicità YT... Inizio 8 giorno interessante e foto presentazione video

[@sailinghelios2023]

Hello, 👋it’s a shame about the ads - that’s KZbin but we are glad. you are enjoying the video. Thank you!

[@antoniomarmotta5630]

@@sailinghelios2023 suggestion. The videos on YT must act promo for the new opened channel.

Fantastic woman. Più si guarda e più si adora

Budgie smugglers. Never a good look especially on the older man.

[@sailinghelios2023]

I’m fine with then thanks

Set the budgie free!
