I LOVED the Hair Bear Bunch! ♪♫ in the wonderland zoo... ♪♫

[@SailingABSea]

(Baz) Hahahaha so glad that somebody (apart from me🤔) actually remembers that show. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍

[@kcaskmelater5079]

I really envy you two, you have an amazing life

[@SailingABSea]

Hi KC, it is amazing and sometimes it's scary and stressful. Which was something Aannsha and I were chatting about last night. We talked about which bits of handling a 46 foot boat creates stress. For me (Baz) it is coming into an unknown anchorage and finding a spot to drop anchor in among the other anchored vessels. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@ongandemirarslan2265]

Dear Bazz, whenever you read this I hope you well and healthy. I read some weather info about Europe in July are extremely high temp. May the beer gods be with you...(Not an Efes anymore.... :)

[@SailingABSea]

We are well and healthy, thank you. The Greek beer gods are being kind to us and to be honest the temperatures are very comfortable. The highest we've had is 34 degrees C. But unlike Queensland in the summer, there is very little humidity here in the Mediterranean, so we feel very comfortable after 20 years of Australian summers. 🍻👍😀

[@kidocq]

I need an haircut too......I have also to find a nice beach 🏖 Nice video, as always

[@SailingABSea]

Thanks Michel, I'm sure you'll find just the right beach. 👍

[@ChrisDoesWhat]

Great video guys, we love the office! Can't wait to move our office to have a better view, we look forward to future videos, even if they are scheduled.

[@SailingABSea]

We love our summer time office, even the winter office is not too bad. 😀 Thanks for watching and commenting Chris. 👍

[@sadretroy2352]

You both look great, so happy to see you enjoying life together. Cheers ⚓️

[@SailingABSea]

Hey Sadre, we missed your Saturday good morning. Thanks for your kind words. 👍

[@jwrappuhn71]

Good vid ya'll.

[@SailingABSea]

Good comment J. 👍

[@ImazeVideos]

The next time when you will refuel can you show how you do that ? Thanks

[@SailingABSea]

Yes, we will include, in a future video, the whole refueling process. You may be interested to watch this video of ours where we refueled for the very first time in Fomentera, Spain. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3mnk52um8tlo68

Baz, I can picture you with a mullet...back in the day. Oh my "Ach Breaky Heart"; those were the days.

[@SailingABSea]

(Baz) I'm not sure my mullet was as bad as Billy Ray Cyrus but if you want to see it in action go here kzbin.info/door/ynprfmP96mTOCzMwNYY6Yw

Thanks for watching Jim. 👍

[@ImazeVideos]

Where can you find interner to upload your videos on the boat ?

[@SailingABSea]

We usually buy a sim card from the country we are in and as long as we are within range of a phone signal we can connect to the Internet. 👍

[@philthefarrier9469]

For ease of storage is there such thing as diesel or propane outboard engines. There looks to be massive cost and space savings by standardizing fuels and machinery components. Love the channel and good night to all, (SillyCon Valley).even though you are probably having breakfast. Keep up the good work

[@SailingABSea]

(Baz) Coincidental timing there Phil, just yesterday I began researching electric outboards. We produce heaps of wasted electricity from our solar array and some of the new electric engine have a fair amount of torque. 11.20 am here, so breakfast is over, I'm writing another blog and Aannsha is tinkering with our website. Have a good evening. Cheers. 🌜

[@philthefarrier9469]

Damn, got carried away watching vlogs and realized it is 2am. Glad both of your life’s paths and hard work have brought you this wonderful life. Take care

[@SailingABSea]

Hahaha get to bed! 😂

[@peterward8349]

Phil can get V8 diesel outboards but are usually over 500 hp , christ propane powered engine scares the crap out of me

[@andyagogo9713]

Aannsha, Baz, There's an extensive thread and a lot of research behind it on the Cruising Assoc forum. In 2010 European services providers fought to break the 2007 EC ruling on roaming charges. Consequently, across Europe we now have what is effectively a state backed cartel that allows the providers to charge higher fees (and apply different rules) for services that cost them no more than normal to provide. It's a very profitable business for them with any competitive element taken away. They is no way around it. .... Let me know if you find one?? However, if you are based in a country for some time it may be worth opening a local bank account with which you can get a local SIM and the best local rates.

[@SailingABSea]

Thanks for that info Andy, we'll check out the thread on the forum. Cheers. 👍

We're beginning to find out that saying has a lot of merit Peter. Cheers. 👍

[@bayanicustodio3998]

Ever hear of something called “sky roam” for internet which provides you with a wifi hotspot? It’s suppose to work almost anywhere in the world.

[@SailingABSea]

(Baz) Hi Bayani, no we have not heard of 'sky roam' but we will check it out, thank you for bringing it to our attention. Thanks for watching and sharing the tip. 😀

[@SailingABSea]

(Baz) Wow, I just looked at their pricing and it ain't cheap. US$99 per month. BiteBird works out even more expensive because they charge by the mb. The search continues.

[@bayanicustodio3998]

Sailing A B Sea baz, it seems to be dependent on location, they advertise it for $9.00 a month in Canada/US. I’m from Canada btw, geographical centre of the country is just a few miles away and we still have a great huge chunk of the country still without cellular service, although I don’t know what moose, bears and beavers would do with a cell/mobile phone 👍🙂

[@SailingABSea]

(Baz) OK now I can't get the image of moose, bears and beavers all sitting around texting each other. Please send extra bacon. 😂

[@stuegor]

I guess you just take for granted internet access is everywhere, but sure seems to be a different issue for you good folks and I assume satellite access would be very expensive

[@SailingABSea]

You're correct Mr G satellite Internet is a huge cost. The Internet quest continues. There is something in particular that I'm looking into but in order to make it affordable we'd need to do some sort of deal with the company. We haven't quite figured out how we sell the benefit of our channel to them.

[@nortonmolly]

Do you have an online business? Or is it just KZbin

[@SailingABSea]

Hey Andrew, Our income is from 3 small sources. KZbin, Patreon and Aannsha selling the jewellery that she makes. Here's a link to the 'Mermaids Treasure' page. www.absea.com.au/mermaid-s-treasure-store

[@steenkigerrider5340]

Let your hair hang down more often, Aannsha. It makes you look years younger, accentuates your sweet face and lets strangers wonder if Barry isn't in reality your dad.

[@SailingABSea]

(Baz) 😧

[@SailingABSea]

(Aannsha) Thank you steenkigerrider! I often have it tied up so it doesn't get blown in my face by the wind. But I'll consider doing that more often! Oh and just for the record, Barry is my Toy Boy! 😉

Bonno?

[@SailingABSea]

Bonno was in the executive producer segment as usual?

[@murraywestenskow2896]

@@SailingABSea Do you know if it's the real Bonno?

[@SailingABSea]

(Baz) Ahhh I see, I'm fairly confident that the real Bonno wouldn't have any spare time for a small sailing channel like ours. But it would be great if he did. 😀 👍

[@murraywestenskow2896]

With or without Bonno - I hope you guys find what you're looking for.

(Baz) Hahahahaha good one. I played a lot of U2 songs in my DJ years always filled the floor. 🎧
