Sailing Chloe - Episode 47 : Sailing Into the Mediterranean

[@henrydunthorn7813]

"The best humanity has to offer" What a wonderful line....Glad you stopped at the right marina to shelter in place. A perfect response and aide from the police and marina owner...

[@andrewfernandez7203]

Great episode, thanks for sharing and I'm loving your boat and all the crafty handy work ideas you're sharing. When you get to Murcia, it's well worth stopping at Real Club de Regatas Cartagena smack in the center of this small and historic naval city. Enjoy and keep the videos coming!

[@hartleymellish4688]

Great episode. Makes me pine for another sailboat. I had one for most of my adult life but at age 80 my work still keeps me busy. It seems I get more challenging and pathbreaking cases as a economic damages expert. Love your show. More please.

[@kentwood2914]

Having worked for Harris for years, I am sure I can comprehend the clever way you came up with to attach the curtains to the saloon windows. I want to possibly copy you, sans Cloe, when my Garica E 52 is delivered. Cheers

[@VandewegheProduction]

I am a fan of the Garcia-45 & 52... Really enjoy your video work, seeing the below decks while under way I get to appreciate the inner comfort & security of the 45' Also, you guys seem to make a good team! Keep the videos coming and safe cruising!

[@sailingchloe2330]

Thanks for watching!

[@robertdunlop993]

So nice of the people of Motril, making sure you are OK and bringing you treats! Hopefully this pandemic will abate (sooner than later), and you will be able to resume your "continuing voyages of the sailing yacht Chloe". Cheers from Niagara Canada! PS Happy Canada Day

[@stevennieman9837]

First time I watch a video of you. Nice one. Fair winds

[@johnwhyman8490]

Takes me back a few years. I had a friend with property in Sabanillas and Estepona. Sadly no longer on this planet. My favourite sail used to be from Sabanillas up to Peurto Banus , but it can be a bit breezy on that shore, especially if there is a Levante blowing from the east, and you go nowhere eastwards for days. Very glad to see you survived lockdown, it does get a bit stir crazy at times. Three months of lockdown will (I hope) all disappear with an hour under sail. Looking forward to the next one.

[@markperry7842]

I just found you two. Looks like fun. It’s great you found such a safe place to sit out the virus hit. Thank you for the nice video.

[@bradbusch9585]

Great video guys a lot to see

[@Dryer_Safe]

Great to see you are well and keeping your sense of humor in this period. Looking forward to your next episode :)

[@sailingchloe2330]

Thank you kindly!

[@barrysummers1622]

Great to see you guys back, stay safe and well,

[@tanhouzer]

I like your boat. It's beautiful.

[@sailingchloe2330]

Thank you very much!

[@bchi521]

Love ur video. I am debating over a few sailboats to purchases as Garcia Expolor 52 is on my list along with Amel 50, and Island Packet 485, love to see and learn how you both like her and sail her.

[@sailingchloe2330]

All these 3 boats would be too large for us. We looked at the GE52 but we are only two people. A boat if that size would be great if you wanted to bring a family along with... We enjoy the smaller GE45 profile with all the well known, associated benefits of a smaller vessel. We have sailed island packets in the past.. love the old style of woodwork. Didn't like the maneuvering in reverse though.. a centerboard and twin rudders are easy to drive. Which is important us as we get really embarrassed when we hit docks and other boats.... The GE45 is a very different boat to an IP. It's like a Gen 5 craft.. an IP is like a Gen 3.

[@bchi521]

@@sailingchloe2330 Thank you for ur advice, I have sailed IP but not the GE and I do like the idea of the centerboard and above all, I love the aluminum hull. Thank you

[@waxcomb]

Favorite episode so far!

[@sk4256]

Great to see you guys back! SK in the UK.

[@bernardmoore632]

Great episode, love that Garcia, what a good response to the virus by the people of Motril, and the local cops - magic ! Thanks for sharing.

[@sailingchloe2330]

yes the folks in Motril represent the very best of us humans...

[@williamsmith2804]

Very enjoyable espisode.......................

[@sailingchloe2330]

Thanks William. Sorry we took so long making it..

[@stevespell9634]

Great episode guys, love your adventure. Sitting in Dumfries not jealous at all lol. Your halyard reef paint looks pretty, not sure you need that tho, sort the tack then then tension the clew then tension the halyard to the appropriate tension, probably pretty tight considering it's a reef and pressure high. Not that I'm telling you guys how to sail. But sort your head sail out, some times it's hanging like a pun of mince. 😂

[@sailingchloe2330]

Thanks for the tips! It's Dawn!! I woke up one morning with bright orange toe nails! She's Dangerous!!!

[@johnd7129]

Good luck and fair winds

[@steffenlutz7072]

Nice Video, enjoyed it a lot ;) Keep it going

[@sailingchloe2330]

Thanks for the visit

[@jonnorousseau3096]

Great boat.........If I win the lottery definitely my first choice. I crew on a pretty special retired Cape to Rio Alex Simonis designed Robertson and Caine custom built 64' called Warrior, but for an all round great high latitude expedition boat, the thoughtful design and build quality, with the centreboard and all the redundancies built in by Garcia these 45's have to be right up there for sure. Do you have a self steering vane? or reliant on autopilots?. Love these Garcia's. Fair winds and safe sailing

[@sailingchloe2330]

No. We don't have wind vane. It just will not fit. We opted instead for lots of sailor power and two autopilots. All works well. I would do the same again.. if given the opportunity.

[@corinnegambini6049]

Hello ! We stayed un Marina Motril from december to 3 march . We cross you 😉. We enjoy to be at Motril with ROberto and all the staff very professionnal and sympatic. We are actualy un BAleares . We will follow tour trip and maybe see you ....

[@sailingchloe2330]

yes!! Roberto is a Star. Best marina we have ever visited. Unbelievably lovely people.

[@smellslikedonkey]

I'd love to see a video about your electric drive!

[@malcolmprice3268]

Quality video albeit long awaited😀. Loving the content and humour. The wise one and the pretty one. I leave you to guess!! Sounds like another vid soon!!?? Keep em coming!

[@dropthatfone]

Loved the episode! Do you ever raise the centerboard when sailing or motoring downwind? If so, how much different does the boat perform and feel? Does it rock side to side more?

[@shanevillis4079]

If you guys want some places to visit, check out Let's Dance Sailing, they have done some nice little places through the Med the last 3 years

[@sailingchloe2330]

Thanks!! will check it out!

[@cpgeorge4442]

when you use auto pilot , are you turn on the generator or is enough by only use the solar power ?

[@alexeykozakevich5643]

Im sorry to ask how did you deal with your grey water tank and its containings during this long stay on the pear?

[@sailingchloe2330]

We had the toilet and bathroom on the Marina all to ourselves.
