This was awesome, I loved your sense of humour, teamwork and humbleness.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

kind words, thanks so much

[@martinpaquette2631]

Thank you for the awesome video. Please produce more like this. Your humour is just spot on.

[@jacklmno2956]

Nice, good to see you back after a video hiatus - as an absolute beginner (starting lessons in a couple weeks), I've tuned in for your informative videos -this one had me smiling with you and rooting for you during the minor mishaps.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

hi again, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching. All the best for your lessons, let us know how they go.

ahoy, thank you, much appreciated

[@JezBuffin]

That was hilarious - thank you. We are off sailing in Greece shortly and I have been watching lots of your videos to brush up on my skills. They are all useful and informative, and this one made me feel a lot more relaxed about my own lack of competence!!! It's 10 years since I last sailed...but you have shown how to do it and not get too stressed.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

Hi, so glad you enjoyed it, we had so much fun, and I guess that's how it should be. I'm sure you will have an amazing time and will be looking at boats shortly afterwards 😂😂

[@RustyCroom]

So good! Please keep them coming!

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

thanks so much, will do...

[@johndalgliesh9220]

This is such a fantastic video, there's so much in it and I loved everything, but especially the under-way footage, the bleeping and manoeuvering score card. I could watch these all day! Great editing too.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

Thank you for taking the time to add such encouraging feedback, it's so encouraging and motivating

[@kevintibboel7756]

This was your best video so far. Really enjoyed it.

[@kevintibboel7756]

Did the flotilla or charter offer you a refund on the flotilla trip since it didn't happen as planned?

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

@@kevintibboel7756 the company, as well as the booking agents were amazing. We ended up with quite a large credit with them, so we have already booked our trip for next year. We wish we could sail more often but are still working towards our dream, and once we find the right boat, will produce tutorials as well as sailing episodes.

[@geraldfrank1630]

Almost anywhere in the Mediterranean area is paradise 24/7. This is a decent tip of it. Congrats from good old Key Largo! 👌🙏👏👏 (coconuts are everywhere here)

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

yeah, we had an amazing time 😀😀 don't use up all the coconuts, one day we plan to visit there too (future, way in the future)

[@danielb9865]

You guys - you inspire me and piss me off all at the same time (green with envy). This is exactly what I want to do in a year even though I just scheduled my first lesson. The video has plenty of useful information for others who want to do something similar beside the beautiful scenery. I loved every minute of it. Keep it coming if you can.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

Hi Daniel, so glad you enjoyed the video and took time to add this great feedback. Good luck with your first lesson and keep us updated on your progress and plans. Everything starts with the first step, it was the same for us, and we're still learning...

[@kirkabner4592]

How was Turkey your 3rd choice?! It's surrounded by 3 different seas! People are friendly and prices are unbelievable. Not to mention the history, the stunning beauty. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

that's because we didn't know better. Turkey would now be our first choice, without a doubt. Thanks for watching, much appreciated

Hi and thanks again... Turkey was great and we were booked to go again in May next year... Plans have changed, just bought a boat 😀... now to slowly get some work done and save up some money and will start our cruising in Malaysia. Updates to come. Nice to see you are already living the dream, fair winds, a merry xmas and a great 2022

Hi, amazing video, I was curious to ask whether you’ve had any troubles bringing the drone into Turkey? Heard they’ve got quite strict customs/rules about it

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

hi, yes, we also had info that had us a little concerned about bringing a drone in... we travelled with the batteries in a fire-resistant pouch (in hand luggage), and we were asked about batteries when checking in... after that no issues at all.... thanks for the great feedback, much appreciated

[@michaelwitter4538]

More videos please!!!!!!

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

[@drewgibbons4799]

Excellent layout of technical information in tutorials, the graphics with step by step explanations creates compréhensible memorable understanding of the functions of, for example, rigging. My guess is a similar foray into, say, navigation equipment function and purpose would be welcome and appreciated by your subscibers. Regards, Drew.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

Thanks Drew, much appreciated, hopefully will have a new instalment very soon

[@m.muzinski7842]

OGH! That is amazing video! This place changed beautifully over some 15 years. If I see well you’ve been to Oludeniz too! Try paragliding next time! :-)

Hi just wondering what Charter company you used and how did you find the quality of the yachts.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

Hi and thanks for watching. We booked online through Nautilus Yachting who were agents for Yildiz Yachting. The boat we used, as well as others we looked at, were in great condition

[@cooldispatch]

You just gained a new subscriber from Croatia :) Welcome here as well. However, prepare yourself to pay way more for pretty much everything :( Comparing to other countries, Croatia is probably the most expensive one for sailing.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

thank you for subscribing and welcome... also thank you for the valuable information, much appreciated

[@didierpotolos3319]

2:10 In my opinion Aegean sea by name and history belongs to Greece and i don't think we share it with nobody! This is the fact and the way it is! By the way great tutorials!!

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

thank you for that information, and your comments are much appreciated

[@Turkeyhome]

Fab video.. I love your tutorials too. I hope you have the opportunity to sail down the coast to Kalkan and (especially) Kas, you will be so glad you did - also check out the Greek island of Meis (Kastelerizo) just a couple of miles off shore of Kas. David Gilmour dedicated an album to the area, 'On an Island' in 2009 - I think you will connect. Bon voyage!

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

awesome information and feedback, thanks so much, see you next year

[@dilligafwoftam985]

You missed the best bit of the med moor at the dock ... you went for the middle of 3 spots and ended up on the starboard one. It's easier if your crew has a boat hook, hooks the bow line and gets it up front quickly, that'swhy the lady marinaire offered it to you first. Once secured you can motor the boat back against it and secure the stern.

[@dilligafwoftam985]

Hopefully you also decided that the 'mobile traffic jam' of a flotilla is a poor substitute for the freedom of buying a pilot and going where the wind takes you. I sail out of Marmarus and can attest that Turkey is the best cruising ground. Croatia etc just view yachties as mobile ATM's, and Greece is becoming like that. Fair winds.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

thank you for your informative contribution... having our flotilla cancelled turned out to be a blessing, and as you say, with a pilot we were not confined to a specific itinerary and cruised as we wished. Next year we plan to sail up toward Marmaris, possibly as far as Akyaka. Thanks again...

Why do all these sailing channels whisper their commentary and then suddenly feel the need to destroy speakers & eardrums with the foreground music?
