Love the mixture of sailing and sightseeing with a dollop of humour thrown into the mix! *chuckles* Dawn's mum is gonna have your guts for garters when you get back to wherever she lurks!

Safety comes from putting a good 5000 miles between yourself and your mother-in-law

“The city is all uphill from the marina ..” Well, that’s a relief- I would worry if it was below the level of the marina 😉 Love your channel. Greetings from bonnie Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@imax2000]

You must be loving it here. Welcome back anytime. But this time to the south. There is a nice Marina in Agadir.

[@sailingchloe2330]

Next time!

[@robertdunlop993]

I am really enjoying your voyages, and of course your good scot humour. I would like, if you get a chance, for you to do some videos of the systems on your vessel. I would really like to see an engine check. I am sure you would appreciate the need to be able to access areas for changing filters, impellers etc. and most boats make it really difficult if you are not double jointed. Thanks and greetings from Niagara Ontario Canada.

[@captainmike808]

Great ideas and additions to the swim platform as well as raising the hight of the lifelines.

[@sailingavocet]

such a great idea

[@cnc75adventures49]

Great looking place to spend some time 👍👍

Hello Peter and Dawn. Thank you for another excellent presentation. I agree with Marc. Would be great to see a detailed insight into Chloe's Electrical System. What you installed and why? How it all fits together and would you change anything? Best wishes John and Mandy

[@sailingchloe2330]

ok. Well do it now.

[@travislibby9930]

More, please.

[@MardkoMBR]

Nice video!! Greetings from Spain.

[@marcwouters6059]

Hi Peter and Dawn , you're sailing the Garcia 45 expl. for about 1 year now . Maybe you can make a short video about the boat . I think it's a dream of a boat but what is your experience after one year ??? The good and bad things of the boat please . Thanks is advance . Greetings Marc

[@sailingchloe2330]

Just did this to some degree. Is ok?

[@ryanconrad9811]

New subscriber. Love your videos and fantastic yacht!

[@towhitby1]

Wow this is an awesome option for refitting...bet it was all great value!

[@stevespell9634]

You're punchin big man, well above your category, fair play from Scotland. 👍🏻 to Dawn. 😀

[@sailingavocet]

great footage!

[@SeanRWilson]

Looks beautiful!

[@Valden23]

Hi Dawn, Peter. Thanks for this video and all the work that goes into making it. Much appreciated. Re the cats, some of which owned people and some of which didn't I'm sure, did you detect a sense of tolerance within the community for their presence, given their qualities as good mouse and rat catchers in city settings? History is on their side. :-)

[@007peteh]

Yes. We really enjoy cultures that live 'along side' their cats. Watching a policeman leave to food & water for cats is a refreshing change to the purely ownership based model of the West. And yes, not a mouse in sight! And.. of course we feel privileged to be allowed, by the cats, to live in the same spot as we all know down deep that 'they are actually all in charge'...

[@kgb1445]

wow great video

[@sailingchloe2330]

Thanks!

[@DaveSunderland]

The prawn reminded me of you.

[@alexeykozakevich5643]

In Med we just dock smthng about a meter closer to the pantoon so you just can step from it right from the boat transom

[@007peteh]

We could also but then our solar panels would be rather hostile...

[@AwangYudiAryadi]

Nice boat in nice place.

[@sailingavocet]

indeed

[@chrisboulet7024]

Love you guys. Have you filmed the inside of your home? Cheers

[@sailingchloe2330]

Chloe is our home... is this what you mean?

[@DaveSunderland]

How can you use your Exploration 45 properly without a washing machine?

[@joserchavez8268]

Love your content. :)

[@jjjoooojjj]

Please keep this videos coming.. You need to fix that mic though. And also would be great to hear how is boat functions. Cheers

[@Pathological_Flyer]

Great videos! You mentioned a 1 day reset in regards to the EU Schengan visa. I’m aware of no such thing (from the USA). Can you guys devote some time in a future video to discuss the Schengen strategy for cruisers? It certainly poses a problem for slow cruising plans. Thanks in advanced!

[@007peteh]

Yes. It was not very clear in this video. What we 'meant' was that Morocco allows us to stay for 3 months at a time and we can reset this Moroccan visa limit by leaving Morocco for one day... Our Schengen restrictions are still the old 90/180 day rule...

[@007peteh]

We'll make a Schengen visa video.. sure!!

[@Pathological_Flyer]

Peter & Dawn Excellent, thanks for the reply and looking fwd to future videos. Best wishes !

[@JJ-sq9sy]

Hello Peter and Dawn . Many thanks for a truly interesting series of videos. Inspirational! We are avid fans and very impressed with the Exploration 45. Tell me: Is it possible to alter the height of the Centreboard whilst sailing through the water or is it set at either fully up or fully down when making way?

[@sailingchloe2330]

Thanks for kind words. You can pull up the centerboard when it's not under load. eg. if you're running downwind you can easily pull it up or drop it down by any amount you choose...... but if it's under heavy load on a reach or a tack it would be probably too tough to move it.. as there'd be too much lateral force and thus friction. When motoring, approaching a shallow marina entrance: no problem.

[@migaguiar]

That sunreef should be amazing in a blow... a new candidate for capsizing, unfortunately. Nothing like an Aluminium Monohull ;) see you soon Patagonia and Antarctica ;)

[@br5927]

Wondering if you have any second thoughts about getting the Garcia 45, would you have chosen the 52 instead? was your decision based on price or ease to operate shorthanded, is space and storage an issue on the 45 ft?

[@sailingchloe2330]

yes thought about it. Price is not the issue, instead 52 would not be for us. We had a good look at the 52 and concluded fairly straightforwardly that it's really not a boat for two people who want maximum versatility. When all the winches have to be electric, it's too big for us... we like to be able to handle things when and if they break... . We just don't need all that space and we certainly don't need the docking experiences in closed quarters of a 52. We're very glad to have gotten a 45. It's far easier to sail. A 52 would be too restrictive for us. note bene. Boat sizes increase as L^3 so a 52 is a large boat!

[@sailingchloe2330]

Too big for us.

[@stevespell9634]

Lol a 45 is a large boat. Funny how things have changed over the past 40 years. Not that long ago seeing a 40+foot boat on the Clyde was special and a 30ft boat was a decent size for a family.

[@christianjiancc]

Great video, perhaps you should watch all of the zooming in on every shoot it hard to watch

[@qatarsailor7727]

Hahaha nice episode 👌

[@alvaroadr]

Hello!! I'm from Spain and I just want to let you know that the statue at 24:40 is not something related with KKK or some racism thing, hahaha. It is because of one of the most important traditions in Spain, the Holy week, or way to celebrate Easter. That it's a typical "capirotes" dress, which basically are penance who parade those days at the processions!! It has been a very important tradition here for over 500 years hahaha

[@007peteh]

Hi , Yes, we didn't really think that it was a racist symbol. Just a joke. Only in the USA have we seen such real ugly stuff.. people in Spain don't seem to suffer from the same deep insecurities as in the South East US. It's Ironic that the dress was used historically as a symbolic form of humiliation by the flagellants.. it would be nicer if the meaning in the USA was still the same.... sadly, it's not.

[@PaulusPHM]

new subscribers nice videos

[@williamsmith2804]

I have been worried sick, where have you guys been? (I saw the video) ..................... somebody got a hair cut..........I enjoyed the video........... did you get your cat yet?

[@007peteh]

Thanks for caring! Yes, we had to escape the Schengen visa limits for a while and had to reset in Morocco. And we just hung for a bit as the people are so nice.. we'll be heading up the Spanish coast very soon. Sorry for the static.... and yes,.... Dawn has lost all her strength!!

[@jugaloking69dope58]

Super happy I subscribed. You are so funny like her Mom🤭

[@sailingchloe2330]

Yay! Thank you!

[@spartagirlful]

It's me, Jeanne, If you need someone to help with filming, cooking, watches and the boat, I'd be very interested. Former military, former teacher. Good with carpentry, common sense and great sense of humor.

[@spartagirlful]

Let me know

[@michaelstroud2279]

I’d like to see a lot more of the boat and a lot less tour guide .. just saying 🤔

[@sailingchloe2330]

ok. We'll make some more tech videos with less Cats. But my Mother-in-law loves her cats.. so you're putting me in a very tricky spot!

[@autonomous_collective]

Dont feed the cats!
