Alex!!! Thanks so much, we're having an awesome time! 😊 Hope you, Kat and Theodore are well 🥰 We're coming home for a couple of months over summer so will be able to come to your wedding, about to send our RSVP. Can't wait 😄

Corinth canal is an awesome feat of engineering. Must be way cooler in reality!

[@sailingwishfulthinking]

It was pretty epic transiting the canal in our own boat! 😊

Great work U2, keep it going 👍 Gotta help the algorithm Cheers, fair winds

[@sailingwishfulthinking]

Cheers Neil! 😊 The algorithm is hungry - it's hard to keep up 😂 Hats off to the channels who make videos every week! 😅

[@nigeanddonnassailingadventures]

So another nice video.We’re looking forward to cruising Greece next season. How’s the boat going? Cheers Nige and Donna.😊

[@ryananthony6416]

Glad to hear you are enjoying the videos Nige. We might see you out on the water next year! The Moody has held up really well this season. We spent a lot of time in the boat yard completing maintenance tasks, which meant we haven't had to do much at all out on the water. Now that we have spent six months living on the boat, I have a big list of upgrades for next year! Ryan

We are just replacing the (1984!) Mild steel 😬 fuel tank in our Moody 29. The dreaded diesel bug got a firmer hold after we met you and despite mutiple doses of majic potion i was seeing more not less in the prefilter. A couple of brisk sails probably mobilised other rubbish as well . Remarkably SS, alloy and llatic tanks are generally guerenteed for less than 10 years. We have decided on a smaller plastic tank to turn over our fuel more frequently. Naxos to Leros was mainly a calm motor 15 to 20 litres for our 2 Cyl Bukh. We always used leave the tank full, to reduce inernal rust maybe not so important wuth the new tank...

[@waynehill6614]

Really enjoying the photography and commentary.

[@sailingwishfulthinking]

Cheers Wayne! Sorry to hear about your fuel tank but will be good when it's sorted! Luckily the previous owner of our boat had recently replaced our fuel tank with a stainless one so that is handy. It's a bit smaller than the original though and the fuel gauge wasn't readjusted so now the fuel gauge only kicks in when it's already half empty 😅 Not ideal but now that we're aware of it we just calculate how much fuel we've used and write it in a log. Glad you had a calm trip from Naxos to Leros 😊

[@stuartcuthbert1220]

amazing so exciting. just herd all about it last night.

[@sailingwishfulthinking]

Cheers Stuart! Hope you're going well 😊

[@edmundbarrett-lennard6640]

Geez that drive belt was flapping around a bit after you started it up. I personally would be tightening it a little more

[@sailingwishfulthinking]

Haha don't worry we've tightened it more since. Went well for the rest of the season 😊

[@FTS-FamilytoSea]

Enjoy your journey ❤🍻🇦🇺

[@sailingwishfulthinking]

Thanks guys! You too 😄

[@FTS-FamilytoSea]

@@sailingwishfulthinking Thank you 🥰🥰

[@Marc-fi5pw]

Hi i watch sailing show. i like yours. i not brave enough or young enough to sail around the world. the other show i watch all have a patreon account. i not sure how it works, many have made money towards there sailing and boat repairs. is it successful, i am not sure. good luck.

[@sailingwishfulthinking]

Hi, thanks so much 😄 We've seen that some channels do Patreon too - we will have to look into it further! 😊

[@tomcourtney8986]

You gotta move that Bimini support or the winch. Leaving the cockpit and sticking your butt overboard every time you adjust your sails is a disaster waiting to happen…

[@sailingwishfulthinking]

Don't worry we moved the bimini support not long after this. It slides on a rail so was very easy to do!

[@alicethecameltoe]

Hope the orcas don't like gin!

[@sailingwishfulthinking]

😂 Me too! Thought we saw one the other day for a second but it was just an extra large dolphin 🐬 😅
