[@mllawhorn5584]

Wow... what an incredible sight!

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks!

[@BPratto]

Thanks for including the sounds of the sea. It made it seem a bit more like really being there.

[@ImNotADeeJay]

Positano is gorgeous. The whole "costiera Amalfitana" (From Sorrento to Salerno) is worth a visit

[@Sailing.Artemis]

amazing video I cant wait to do it for myself

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Yes and it's an amazing part of the world! Good luck with picking up sailing experience!

[@georgemoore7196]

I've been loving your videos. Learn geography with Tranquilo! This one was another classic.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks George, great that you loved it!

[@georgemoore7196]

@@Expedition_Tranquilo I've been enjoying your entire series, in particular about Montenegro and Albania. Few have been there and done such a good job with the videos. And Mt Etna too. All of your videos have been very informative. Cheers,

[@milledgewest961]

I would love to travel to Amalfi with you all as my guide. Very much enjoyed your video.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Milledge!

[@judd_s5643]

You guys do a excellent job of bringing us along. There is something about the way you guys present the places you visit, travel guide feel to it.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Judd, really appreciate it!

[@davidfaherty3709]

love the snipets of info give you the feeling you've been there yourself

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

That's great, thanks David!

[@arottie4097]

Fantastic episode guys. Spectacle scenery. Place looked like a James Bond movie waiting to happen! Ha! I must however say, the highlight of this video. Was most definitely that gnarly wave Aiden caught!...9:01... well done mate!!

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Yeah, amazing that Bond's never been there (but then he's never been to Australia so they producers don't always get it right). And agree about the highlight!

[@jamesnthao1]

Another excellent video! Glad to see you all doing well and having fun in the beautiful mediterranean. Thank you for sharing!

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Caleigh!

[@debandlilitaber8612]

Happy thanksgiving and we love you from Annapolis Maryland.

[@jandradventures]

So beautiful! We would love to sail around Italy someday!

[@gregjerogin3401]

Fantastic, love this episode, one of your best!

[@cronullasurf786]

Great episode guys, love how you kept it real amongst all the glitz!

[@Al.W7263]

I always enjoy your videos. Thanks

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Great to hear Al!

[@samantha1054]

Just got onboard. You guys are good. Thankyou

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Sam, appreciate it, enjoy the journey!

[@darrens7040]

you can never stop a bloke jumping off a cliff, great video guys went thru there in the 80s was a lot quieter in those days, still beautiful as ever, Chopper doing its work was a bonus.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Yeah love jumping off those cliffs! Would have loved to have seen this coast in the 80s!

[@hawkmoe2789]

Wow! Kewl Video!

[@patriciatagliabue5037]

aussi nice

[@richardcorcorran8965]

Beautiful Boat

[@seatravel8536]

Great video!

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks!

[@edsondantas7179]

Obrigado linda princesa e este maraviloso capitão princesa você é muito boa e linda e é um espetáculo de princesa

[@katysail30]

did I just see Tranquilo for sail on Yoti in Australia ?

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Yes you did! She's up for sail as we've finished the trip. The videos are just a bit behind... very behind!

[@johnswanson6994]

Good to know that even experienced sailers get a bit twitchy having to tie off in a marina. It stresses me as well and like Elle, I prefer to moor or anchor anyway.

[@georgelambertson300]

Please allow me to acclaim this vlog from you all is the finest vlog you've posted from the content to the quality of the camera and audio ...thank you very much

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks George!

[@ImNotADeeJay]

16:17 I stopped there to have a coffee.... just in front of the church

[@harveyboy45]

Beautiful family

[@captainmike808]

When med mooring, did you guys have to drop the anchor or are there mooring balls by the docks?

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

We only had to drop the anchor in Ionaian Greece. The rest of the Med the dock helpers passed you a line (which was tethered to a block around 25m off the dock underwater) which you picked up by boat hook and then took to the bow and secured. One of our Croatia videos shows it step by step, Nature's Wonderland II?

[@CHRIS198490]

nice one

[@Jolie_sailor]

What a coincidence. Me and some friends arr planning a charter there in Sept 2019. Do you think there's enough protected anchorages in that area or will we get gouged by the Marinas? Thanks for sharing your experience there. :)

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Unless the winds are from the northern quarter - which they typically are - these anchorages would be quite exposed. Unfortunately the marinas are all small and busy so not easy to find a spot - not to mention how expensive they are. Capri was Euro 200! The anchorage on the southern coast of Capri is beautiful, however it's not possible to come in on the tender to shore, as friends of ours found out. Sadly as beautiful as this area is, it's not easy to cruise around. The Aeoli Islands or northern Sardinia and Corsica are definitely easier cruising grounds...

[@Jolie_sailor]

@@Expedition_Tranquilo thank you for the info. Its too bad bacause the place looks magical. We may have to reconsider as I'll be the only experienced sailor and looks to me that finding a overnight spot will be stressful. Fair winds.

[@caracamano71]

👍

[@davecollins494]

Are you renting out Aiden yet, seems like a good cook to have onboard ;-)

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

He also handles the windlass, fenders, mooring lines and the fishing line, among other things. Just needs time off to do schooling.

[@davecollins494]

Looks like I found my Sailing Buddy for next season, Im ex IT so can teach him Programming & Computer Builds ;-)

[@alphasxsignal]

What brand of sailboat is that???????????????

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Hanse 455

[@agm6095]

Where is the sand on those beaches, I see rocks and gravel not very nice.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

It has its own charm... we prefer secluded sandy beaches, but we have friends who hate sand and would love it here!

[@markduncan6690]

Who is this exquisite woman!!

[@blueboats7530]

As I watch from California, for me the fire is not unexpected... we'd take that one... ugh

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Yeah, the fires in California look horrendous, hope you're all okay.

[@colliesworld6380]

Your so is get so big and a good cook too

[@ricgaston6503]

You sail into the "very heart of the rich and famous - in Italy", on a half-million dollar yacht, and don't think you are a member?

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

There's some truth to that, however to be a member of the rich and famous that haunt this region, half-million dollars wouldn't get you invited to the local barbecue... and we sold our house to buy Tranquilo, while for most of the 'rich' in Amalfi and Positano, the mansions that dot the cliffs are more like their weekend homes. And another perspective on being 'rich'. We forewent a lot of luxuries to save up for Tranquilo, such as not buying anything - not new, nor second hand, no new clothes, no new shoes, nothing - for a whole year, and not much in following years. We certainly don't feel rich, and that's the beauty of cruising around the world; for all the yachts that are doing the same, we never talk about what we do, how well off we are. From those who own a 30-year old blue water yacht, to those who have a brand spanking new Gunboat 65, we never care about the money aspect, we are all just in it for the adventure, the challenge, and we are more likely to be talking about what our upcoming passage plans are, what to see, what the weather forecast looks like, what problems we've had, and more importantly, when's the next catch up for a beach bonfire, or whose boat will be hosting sundowners. It doesn't take much to do that!

[@ricgaston6503]

Thank you for that well thought and understanding response, but I think you missed the tone of my comment. Don't get me wrong, I think what you are doing is fabulous, and you likely deserve everything, and should continue doing what you are doing as long as you can. I don't set myself up to be anything special but If I sold my house (I have never owned a house), quit buying shoes, and continue to wear the clothes I have been wearing for the last 10 years, I couldn't buy a Hobie Cat. I understand you don't "feel" rich, but in comparison to many people, and maybe many people who follow you, you are. I'm sure most of the "cruising people" don't feel rich either, and that is just fine. You all should not forget that there are many who can view these videos who will never be able to make it as far as you are right now, and have a bit of compassion for those who dream.

[@yorukkizigeziyor]

Very beautiful 😍💖🔥👙

[@Whitemoon548]

Dearest I do like your videos a lot, but the sound of this one was really terrible.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Yes unfortunately with the wind and the waves the background noise was rather imposing...

[@Thomas_Speck]

Thats why i do not love making Holiday in Italy. Expencieve and waaaayyyyy to much Tourists

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Yes, it was surprisingly busy - we did expect it, but not this busy! Last time we were in the area was in winter and it was empty - quite delightful!
