Go for it!

[@sailingpacific6430]

Wow fantastic sailing footage - apart from you, only Delos has the same raw sailing feel! And the lakes look stunning!

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks, appreciate it! Love what the Delos guys are doing!

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Beth, appreciate it!!

[@timothydecrespier2521]

Great video guys! Great to see sailing in the Med, most of the others are sailing the Caribbean and Pacific and they're getting very same old same old. So great to see sailing in a different part of the world!

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Timothy!

[@jimmcdonald9244]

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Scott!

[@mhazel4777]

thank lots mate, your video has a real life feel to it,great. some of the other i used to watch could never capture the real feeling of being there with you as you have. blessing on you all.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks James, really appreciate the feedback!

[@lanestreet1431]

Lovely video, enjoyed it very much. Aiden is turning into a right salty dog! He did a good job tying on the fender with a slipping clove hitch. Fair winds.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Yes he's really getting into it!

[@jayp4250]

Great balance sailing/exploring :) Keep the videos coming Best wishes- Safe travels JP

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks JP, that's what we are aiming for! Appreciate the feedback!

[@user-jl2wn7bn8p]

Finally! someone who doesn't ruin their videos with music! ah the tranguilo!

[@verynearlyaboutsailing8114]

I've just caught up with your videos. Really good. You have a nice chilled, 'no hurry' style - so the boat name suits you all down to the ground. I plan to do the Med in the next two years or so myself. I had planned to skirt the more southerly parts of Croatia, but after seeing your films I will definitely do the north as well.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Definitely go north, most yachts don't but they're missing out.

[@jotaequis9410]

Felicidades y buenos vientos. Saludos desde el desierto de Atacama

[@BRZZ-xw4hd]

awesome vid ...peace out

[@abdullaalsulaiti1450]

Nice video good information

[@TovEazy]

Amazing

[@Whitemoon548]

I love you guys doing this beautiful sailing along the Mediterranean Sea .... most of these vlogs are in the Atlantic/ Caribbean.... Buon vento from Italy, Milano.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Elisa, appreciate it!

[@robertlis346]

First sailing vlog showing some of Europe. Cool :) From Australians perspective even cooler :) Nice :)

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Europe from an Australian perspective... didn't think of it that way, good point!

[@jenfletcher5227]

Great to see El is really sailing and Kalena is willing to learn! Nice break from that Paris Hilton of sailing on Vagabonde.

[@misternice1768]

Agree, well said.

[@brianmaher2880]

Why break one down to compliment another? Both have their audiences....

[@simonoconor8149]

Great video guys.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Simon!

[@ronpieck1007]

Great vid's, Nice boat. I will be buying a Hanse, maybe a bit smaller....anyway will be tracing your path some day soon1 KKEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

[@strategicthinker8899]

Fellow Aussies starting the journey in my birth country. How could I not subscribe?

[@stephenoconnor723]

great video again

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Stephen!

[@jeffbuxton939]

Hi guys great footage cheers

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Jeff!!

[@jasonkoslow4174]

How is it working out with your hydrogenerator? Is it producing enough power or are you having to run the engine as well to charge the batteries?

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

We're currently not using the hydrogenerator as we're in marinas at least every fourth day and we can charge back to 100% overnight. The marina stays are not particularly our preference but with the deep shorelines in Croatia we have little choice. The hydrogenerator will come into its own in the ocean crossings.

[@obada70]

loved this nice work wish you all the best

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Obada!

[@skelseh]

Nice one guys! Best vid yet 💙

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Yvonne, appreciate it!

[@cronullasurf786]

Love the video guys! Would have loved to see El and Kaleena race...

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Yes well, the girls were too tranquilo to race...

[@mickmccrohon]

great vid

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Cheers Mick!

[@igrval]

Love your videos. Hanse 455 is a beautiful boat. What is your initial impression of it? It has no compression post under the mast inside. Instead Hanse used composite materials in construction. How stiff is the hull, are there any extra noises under sail? Can you record noises inside and show video while sailing?

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Hi Igor, it is a beautiful boat, amazing handling, but she is light so tends to slam into waves unless you actively steer her with them. And yes no compression mast is unique as far as we know. So far even in strong winds there is no noise from the compression mast or hull. If anything, the best thing about our Hanse is the hull - still and handles well. It's the components that unfortunately let her down, as we've had trouble with the depth sounder, the aft head pump, the USB charger, and a perspex window in the aft head came loose and smashed a hole in the floor. The most troubling is the depth sounder, and we're having that replaced by Navico this week.

[@geoffanddawnalle]

Great video

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Geoff!

[@robertbindler2481]

Many thanks great video , amazing boat shots enjoy your trip ... are you heading on your way down to Greece Corinthia / naupile ( epidaure) then Paros/ Santorini is a must ... / cretia or up to Istanbul ?

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Robert! Unfortunately as much as we would have loved to, we won't as we need to get to Canary Islands by November for the Atlantic crossing.

[@anselmooliveira7851]

Commander Aiden is really exploring the nautical world. Congratulations Captain Aiden. Every place on this planet of ours has an extraordinary beauty. Fil, out of curiosity, I noticed that when entering the channel, in Luka Telascica, the starboard signaling float is red. In Croatia is the system adopted IALA B? Another curiosity. El, what is the temperature of this water? You and Kalena are well suited. The water must be really, really cold.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Well picked up Anselmo, that was because we were technically leaving 'harbour' and heading out to sea. Water temperatures were 20 at the time we filmed, they are warming up as we head south.

[@anselmooliveira7851]

Wonderful, I love following you. You are now part of my planning to live on a sailboat. They are reference to my plan. I'm also curious, have you ever lived in Brazil? In my planning, my English studies are included, for various reasons, I have often postponed. A monstrous mistake! A big hug! Please, disregard my mistakes, because I still ask Google translator for help.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

You're very welcome Anselmo! We've travelled Brazil quite a bit and loved it - Lencois, Salvador, Recife and Olinde, Pantanal, Rio, and more, loved them all!

[@roniepc1]

Nice video!!

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks!!

[@lwhited1]

After checking your blog I still didn't see anything about your camera equipment. You do very nice work. Could you share your camera gear list? Thanks

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Hi Laurence, we're using a Canon 5D Mark III with a 16-35, 24-70 and 100-400mm lenses, a gopro (although that died recently) and a Phantom drone.

[@dashamiller3906]

We hope to also start in the Med in a couple of years so loving your videos. Fil, out of interest, do you have a European background? Just curious cos you seem to have a bit of an accent and pronounce the names of places beautifully haha

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Hi Dasha, well picked up, yes I left - escaped - Poland when I was five with my family.

[@fredh115]

Great videos from Tranquilo in Croatia. Question about Aiden - if your trip goes beyond a few months, are you home-schooling him? How old is he and what grade is he in? We have an 8 year old in Grade 3 and are thinking of taking a year off... maybe more ;-) ... so keeping up with his education is one of the unknowns. Would love to hear how you are managing this topic.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Hi Fred, Aiden is 8 years old. He is doing Distance Education, which is the same program kids far from school, like farm kids, are enrolled in in Australia. Distance Ed sends us a semester's worth of school work to a prearranged location, and we supervise Aiden as he completes it. Every fortnight we send the latest work to Aiden's teacher who marks it and provides feedback. Having the specified content provided by Distance Ed works well.And best part is Aiden, always a relatively confident kid, has become even more confident.

[@mikeferguson2828]

As a South African driving in Europe I always kinda forget which is the fast lane on the high ways as you know "we" stick to the left ;-)

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Yep, that's it!

[@giancarloge6612]

Whit this, i see all the video 👍😎😎😱😉!!!

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Awesome!

[@karstenbieringnielsen3841]

What brand and model are your sunglasses? Very cool!

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

They're very old Pradas, so old that I can't recall the model...

[@RobFomenko]

What a beautiful place. Seen pictures of the same areas but HD Video really brings it to life. Giving Aiden a job piloting the tender is smart... he will learn a lot. Kids growing up like this I feel become really responsible young adults and learn much more vocabulary and how to act around adults than their peers than many interact with other kids their age. Its a trade off for sure but one well worth it.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Definitely Bob, Aiden's becoming very confident in sailing and interacting with the locals!

[@paulraven4580]

Why do you change between 480p and 720p from one episode to the other? I am not realy happy with 480p.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

We don't, they're all in 1080p. Maybe it's your settings? KZbin changes it from video to video based on your bandwidth. Hope that helps.

[@paulraven4580]

@@Expedition_Tranquilo Tank you for your quick response. You are right, it is due to the automatic in youtube. I wish fair winds to you.

[@Josef_R]

1:35 What is he saying there? I can't make out a single word of it. "The rare R factor mainland to Zadaaaa."

[@robertlis346]

I think I have senn You tracking some 455 videos/reviews in a past. Seems nice story behind/hope mine will be the same :) Wish You luck and God bless :)

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Robert, and hope all goes well with your one!

[@jeffmorrissey9562]

Great video, thanks for sharing. I understand that having your credit card fraudulently used really sucks, best of luck and having that get sorted out quickly. What's with the comment; "America, of all places"? What's that supposed to mean?

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Cheers Jeff. Regarding America, the credit card happened in Europe so it was strange to see the fraudulent transactions buying from American companies... would have thought they would have bought locally.

[@reynaldneron9012]

Hello Tranquilo, please teach your kid to attach the kill switch of the tender engine on himself when driving (and you have to do it too of course). The injuries are horrific if this is not done. Here is an article which I hope will convince you of how important that is... www.rya.org.uk/knowledge-advice/safe-boating/look-after-yourself/Pages/kill-cord.aspx

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Trust me it was a heated discussion.... Aiden's starting to reference the RYA books - Comp Crew, Day Skipper - so expect next time won't be a problem.

[@reynaldneron9012]

Ah ah ah, I have to remind it to my crew every time as well, but training is important. On internet, you can find pictures of injuries made by a propeller on the back of someone who fell of the tender... If you can show that to the young man (be careful, it's disgusting to see), I am pretty sure he will not forger the kill switch anymore... fair winds.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Reynald, you'll be happy to hear Aiden now uses the kill cord all the time!
