[@mickeyh53]

[@LetsDanceSailing]

Yes mate it was a year of what if we just got past GWS… we’ll never know, but our young lads played some great footy this year and can honestly see a bright future for the club. Bring it on. Loving the new boat and exploring some of the smaller Greek islands, it’s great to be back at it. Hope lockdowns are coming to and end for you guys and travel bans get lifted soon, cheers.

[@johnlord7854]

Awesome !!! Another great video, thank you ) We are still in lockdown ( Hope to meet up with you both next season. Kind regards, John.

[@LetsDanceSailing]

Thanks John, yes would be great to catch up. We are doing one more winter in Turkey before we search for new adventures, cheers.

[@karengray5755]

Thank you for taking us to Turkey, looking forward to your adventures in Greece. Cheers from Vancouver Island 😊😊😊😊

[@LetsDanceSailing]

Our pleasure Karen so glad you liked it, we have one more in Turkey we think before we start on Greece. Thanks for your comment, cheers 🥂

[@nurseae]

Your excellent taste in music makes the videos even more enjoyable 💕💕

[@LetsDanceSailing]

We have a bit of a thing with the music we use, so glad you like it, thanks for your comment, cheers

[@gars1074]

Youv'e got to be kidding me!? That trash isn't music and it ruins the film. Where are your tastes??

[@LetsDanceSailing]

@@gars1074 the music we use in our vids requires constant research in order to identify songs with suitable copyright restrictions. It’s a big undertaking and very often we cannot use the songs we want. Sorry you didn’t enjoy it on this occasion and thanks for your feedback.

[@harveyjohnston6590]

Hi Guys Great to see you back on the water again - classic question in the blog was "what day is it" just take it easy can wait for the next archeological and geography lessen Thanks

[@LetsDanceSailing]

🤣🤣🤣 yep sometimes we have no clue, that’s a good sign right 👍. Glad you liked it, cheers.

[@alexanderlenina4203]

Beautiful. Hope you will have the time to post a video every week. Take care!

[@LetsDanceSailing]

Sorry, unlikely to get a movie out every week we are far too busy living the nomadic lifestyle that comes with being a full time cruiser. We manage this channel as a hobby and love that so many actually enjoy our movies. Thank you for your interest and taking the time to comment, cheers.

[@ianprice9005]

Wow Turkey looks amazing and that water colour is 👌

[@LetsDanceSailing]

Hi Ian, it really is an amazing place. Thanks for your comment, cheers.

[@bayanicustodio3998]

Wonderful 🙂👍

[@LetsDanceSailing]

Thanks, glad you liked it cheers.

[@vladimirdonev6173]

It's strange how people with the time and privileges they get by attracting advertisers, followers, be it viewers and their benefits lead them to addiction and a lot of frivolity, familiarity and the desire for ostentation ... the thrill of being well known. Some channel owners actually forget what they started them for. Not you. Be who you are. You have the amazing opportunity to travel, explore and share in a way that makes you unique. I admire the sincerity and open unconditional attitude towards cultures, customs and heritage that you refer to in every place you have been. Be healthy and have a fair wind. The boat is beautiful.

[@LetsDanceSailing]

Hi Vladimir, thank you for your lovely comment. This channel truly is a hobby for us and a way for us to capture and store our travel memories, we are encouraged by comments like this one. Our channel is us as it happens, we release episodes to no particular timeline and plan to keep it that way. We are pleased that you enjoy what we do, thanks again for taking the time to comment, cheers.

[@kerriesmeltzer4513]

Haven’t seen you guys on you tube for quite some time saw some great photos on Facebook brilliant

[@LetsDanceSailing]

Hi Kerrie, working on our next one now we've been a bit busy jumping from island to island, cheers.

[@ernststavroblofeld9640]

@@LetsDanceSailing Wow I watch you vicariously with such enthusiasm through your downloads. You remind me of Valerie and Ron Taylor except for their misunderstanding of spearfishing from the 70's. The ultimate modern day lovers of travel by sea. Love your cinemaphotography and story telling. Cheers!

[@tanyasteadman4819]

Hi , what a great video. We’re so pleased we discovered your adventures, only today! (Thanks to the power of social media and connecting with old friends). It looks like we have quite a few videos to look back through. Happy travels, Steve and Tanya

[@LetsDanceSailing]

Hi Tanya and welcome to our channel so pleased you found us and enjoyed this one. We are truly amateurs when it comes to sailing KZbin channels but we use this channel to keep family and friends up to date with what we are up to. Some how we have gained a few thousand subscribers 😯. Yes we have a bit of a back catalogue for you if you are up to it, we have been nomads now for over 5 years, wow even to right that is surreal. Hope all is well with you guys, take care cheers.

[@Petemurch]

loving the updates almost feels we are on your adventure with you.Watched all your episodes, looking forward to the next , hope all's well with you guys in these strange trying times, safe travels and fare seas. Hugs from NZ.

[@LetsDanceSailing]

Thanks Petemurch, glad you are enjoying them. We were working on the next one but unfortunately had some sad news from back home and everything has been a bit hectic here. We will continue as soon as we can sort a few things out, cheers.

[@peterbeckmann3567]

Thanks für Sharing 😊

[@LetsDanceSailing]

Thanks buddy, all the very best to you guys xx

[@gjeess1]

Turkey looks amazing. Another great video, thanks guys. Onto important things, Mick, who's going to win the GF?

[@LetsDanceSailing]

Thanks P&TP glad you liked it. If only the Swannies had made it, it would be an easy call…… two good sides but Melbourne have had an outstanding year and I think they’ll take home the chocolates, cheers.

[@secondstartotheright]

Beautiful can't wait for the next one!

[@LetsDanceSailing]

Little slow getting the next one out, our season has come to an abrupt end and we have to head home for a while. We have footage, just a lot going on at the moment, stay tuned, cheers.

[@malgraham351]

Thats the spirt sail whenever you can

[@LetsDanceSailing]

We've decided this summer we will throw out our 5 knot rule and sail whenever we can, no time constraints, no plans and nowhere to go....life is good, cheers.

[@LUCID99999]

You do like turkey 👍. Are the prices reasonable there? and can I ask do you add any minerals to your desalinated drinking water ? Great tunes too as usual, it makes your channel stand out from the crowd 🎶

[@LetsDanceSailing]

We LOVE Turkey and could happily live here, we tell all of our friends it’s a must visit. We don’t add anything to our water maker water, we know some people that do but we figure we’ll get our minerals from elsewhere. It’s a hot topic amongst cruisers, thanks for your comment and glad you like our tunes, cheers.

[@LetsDanceSailing]

Sorry forgot to mention yes prices are reasonable, particularly fresh fruit and vegetables. Marinas on the other hand are expensive in comparison to the rest of the med, cheers.

[@dougmarder]

Remind me not to go for a handshake when we meet. :)

[@LetsDanceSailing]

That could be embarrassing 🤣🤣🤣, cheers.

[@alpollak6917]

Great video as always, I am in Mamaris currently. Planning on spending the winter, what is the timeframe for your video? When would it be hospitable to head north in the springtime?

[@LetsDanceSailing]

Hi Al, we were late leaving the marina this year and this was in June / July but you could certainly head out at the beginning of May. Our plan next winter is to check out of the Marina at the end of April, cheers.

[@dc1544]

I would still add a UV filter before drinking water from a water maker. can never be to safe.

[@LetsDanceSailing]

Yes we have thought about it and might put it on the to do list for winter, cheers.

[@28ft]

Cool hat Mike. I see your SUP say “Seaflo” on it. Is that the Seaflo water pump company??

[@LetsDanceSailing]

No sure guys but it’s a very popular brand here in Turkey and reasonably priced, cheers.

[@planb2bfree993]

Sounding very knowledgeable these days guys and great production and tunes. Tried that handshake thing out today and got slapped twice by shop owners and laughed at by Nudge. So I think that custom is doomed to the history books unfortunately.

[@LetsDanceSailing]

You must have done something wrong 😳, I’ve had great success on nearly every occasion. We can FaceTime and work through your technique if you like 👍

[@planb2bfree993]

@@LetsDanceSailing a true friend.

[@MrGilbos]

Hi, try to get to Kalkan if you can. It’s on the d400 between gocek and kas. There’s a marina there but it’s small, plenty of places to drop anchor outside though. Food is fantastic so are the people.

[@LetsDanceSailing]

Yeah we have been there a couple of years ago but plan to go back towards the end of this summer. We have friends that have a villa there and want to catch up. We agree it’s a fantastic little spot, cheers.

[@scotttrevethan2752]

Thank you! How fat behind real time are you guys?

[@LetsDanceSailing]

About 2 months at the moment. It takes us a week to put one episode together and in between we like to enjoy the moment, cheers.
