I have about 6 sailing channels I watch and you guys hooked me with the Greece trip. I am glad you are doing this trip and really appreciate your editing skills. The two sync'd camera shots you do occasionally are pretty trick! The month on/month off thing is pretty awesome John. Enjoy these days.

“Not the Nine O'Clock News” which was a British television sketch comedy show which was broadcast on BBC2 from 1979 to 1982. Originally shown as a comedy alternative ...anyhow “now for something completely different.” No reasons to be jealous here because you two can charter a floating palaces and sail away in the Bahamas, become a Patron and you may also have Kristina and John. Amazing!❤

@7:03 Last I heard Navigare equips all their boats with water makers to cut down on plastic pollution.

[@KristinasTravels]

This is true!! It absolutely has a water maker on board 🙌🩷

[@tomriley5790]

South Australia certainly seems well represented in youtube sailing :-)! No idea what it's like freediving in the Bahamas, but I used to take people for their first open water scuba dives in the UK, it was always great because people were so amazed at how much life and things there is to see! Lovely video! Hope Your greek relatives are okay with all the fires.

[@KristinasTravels]

Haha! SA represent! 🇦🇺🙌 Oh wow, that’s great! I use the term free diving very losely here.. we are trying!! But John just got down to 10m the other day - so proud! 😍 Slowly but surly we’re getting there ❤️ Do you still get to dive much? Or have taken up any other hobbies? 🙂

That big boat at 18:50 seems to be called "After You" which is a famous boat joke name, as in: "Darling, I named it after you".

Ohhhh that’s funny John!! 🤣🤣

[@Richard-R-S]

Good to see ya's back on the water, the spontaneity and reality is fun. You're both way more fun than the "info-type" travel vlogs. The green suit went well with the ocean water color (did you plan that Kristina?), and you wear it so well👍🏻. That really was a chunk out of the pinkie. Tortilla is pronounced "tortia", actually. Just so your'e aware😉. Also, why did Ya's sell Tacana❓ God Bless🙏🏻⛵🐬

Great Video Thank you

[@KristinasTravels]

🙏❤️ Thank you so much for watching! 🙂🙂

[@cruisingal2]

Nice video! We want to rent a bareboat. Have person cruiser, but it's not seaworthy enough out of FL to Bahamas anymore. We always used toothpaste on our masks, but try baby shampoo! It works great too!

[@KristinasTravels]

That’s a shame about your boat, can be quite tricky to cross the Gulf Stream we’ve been told? Definitely check out Navigare if you head to Abaco’s they are really well set up there and have a heap of new boats 👌🏻 be sure to use our discount code too if you book. Great tip with the toothpaste, works a treat 😃

Yes it’s rather busy these days, a bit quieter when we were there in the shoulder season. I guess it would have looked quite different back then!

Hi, hope you both enjoy your time on the cat. However, Pls ask JOHN to explain you do not put the engine in reverse, but, use the gear box for such acts. Enjoy

[@MrWitheridge]

Wow the boat is amazing and so is your destination! Having all that room compared to Tucana you must feel very spoiled! Very sad about what the hurricanes can do in that area :( Wow @ the diving - you guys are so lucky! As always looking forward to the next one! Bon Voyage!

[@glenhopkins8630]

Wow, wow guys, what a change from your boat, Tucana & big with plenty of room & thats the thing obviously with cats & a huge learning curve again for you guys. As you outlined at the start you will be editing whilst John is away flying so where will you be based on land, at a fixed spot or changing every 2nd month but whatever its all new & exciting for you. It was quite a long way by plane tto get to the Bahamas & gave you a quick look at other places along the way but it was the sheer excitement on your face to get the cat & your 1st experience with same. Looked like John got it off the dock OK & then almost lost his new drone but in the end rcovered it OK. I can tell that you guys will have an ace month ahead learning & exploring so cant wait to see where you head & what you get up to including diving. Enjoy. Love

[@TheEdge92]

@5:56 "It's really up to you" Ohhh come one mate. Lead your partner man! She is actually eager to be lead by you. Don't be such a undecisive beta. No hard feelings got my own issues with that on which I'm working tbh. But boy. A woman want to be lead. And you're now on the media screen here. Gotta step yo game bro. If not for yourself do it for us :D Idk for me it's always very unpleasant/cringey to watch sailor boys not being in their masculine frame(WeSail and Gone With the Wynns unfortunately (though what a surprise, in my opinion 80-90% of men gotta work on their frame)got the same issue, and everytime something like that happens you can literally feel the energetic chaos/misalignment of the gender energies). With that I want to leave an astounding book recommodation. "The way of the superior man" by David Deida. It's badically about the taoist concept of ying jang (masculine/feminine). If the male isn't in his male frame the female has to make up for it, and unconsciously really does(got my own experience on that), so she comes up with masculine traits. can also be vice versa. And this in the end all leads to subtle energy "turbulences", if I may call it that appropriately, that eat away at your relationship. This book being about the male side of things. From the Dalai Lama to women they all spoke in very high tones about this book. He also wrote a book that is about the female side of this topic.
