The ice cream man deserves a youtube channel! Great show guys. Istanbul is such an epic city. Great you could show a taste of it.

[@johannesernharth1939]

Would love to see the Kraken build videos when you can get them up. Nice series through all with Dick... invaluable to those of us contemplating an eventual life-change! Thanks!

[@weedknoll]

@@SailingMillennialFalcon Yeah. I think I'd like to have the experience one day. Like an exercise in dealing with extreme frustration, followed by a sweet treat.

Love how you always clarify "4am in the morning" helps us know which am you're referring to.😄

It took me almost 24hrs to binge your whole channel. Man!! I wish I was 20 years younger, I think I would have done now what you’re doing. Keep up the fantastic attitude, drive, friendliness, openness, oh! I could list 100 things you’re doing right. Just keep on as you are. I’m going to sleep now😔. Love you guys, Ciao!

Renaldo is Portuguese. From Madeira actually. Great to see how they build these boats 🛶 Istanbul. Been living there for three month in august 1977. That was a memorable trip. There’s an island outside the Bosphorus an half an hours trip by ferry from Caducei. Bucada or something. Just horse carriages. Old wooden houses. Have to go there again someday. Stay Safe. Fair Winds. Roll on 🙏

[@kn4mows67]

great adventure, thanks for sharing.

[@goulash75]

Was getting so jealous watching this. I first went to Turkey in 2000. Originally planned to stay for 2 weeks. 3 months later, I sadly left swearing I would be back soon. ("Soon" turned out to be 12 years later, but some of the locals still remembered me!) By the time I left, my "Merhaba, nasılsın?" was so good I was getting into trouble because the locals thought I was joking when I told them I wasn't Turkish... and they wouldn't believe my Turkish friend actually was!

[@whathree]

What a great video. Thank you for all the thought and work you put into your presentations

[@w1cdo]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@jaac7546]

This the kind of video that had me hooked on your channel. I have a minor interest in sailing. I subscribe for your personalities and sights from your travels. I will never sail but I enjoy watching you explore the world. I maybe in the majority on that.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Thanks tim! I'm a little surprised that we haven't had a comment yet from the flip side of that coin saying that we HAVEN'T gone sailing and that's why they watch us! But every journey has a destination at the end of it 😊

Looking forward to seeing the Amalfi Coast trip, my great grand parents where born there then immigrated in to New Zealand.

As a life long sailor it amazes me how Turkey has become such a big player in the yacht building world. Low overheads and an affordable workforce I can understand but with big names such a Nordavn going there, they must be doing something right?

Ahoy Adam & Khiara.🙋‍♂️ This has been a really great series of videos. If I were still in my teens or 20's I'd be figuring out how I'd release my own Kraken one day.😊 Unfortunately that was 5 decades ago. I lived on tne south coast of the MarMar for just over 2 years when I was 16 to 18. Magical times.☺ This series has me reminiscing about the fantastic times and some of the really stupid stuff we did. 😂 We lived in a little town named Yoliva, southeast of Istanbul. I spent many weekends in the Underground Bazaar and never saw all of it. The Spice Market is a very small part of it on 1edge. And I'm going to shut up now before I prove my wife right. 😂😂🤷‍♂️ Thank You 🙏💚

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Haha, that's ok! The whole city is such a massive place I don't think you could ever see the whole of it! It sounds like you had a pretty awesome time there, as did we :D

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Beautiful city but it sits on top and alongside one of the most active geological fault lines in the Med area, in fact a little further west it becomes the Mediterranean belt of fire.. with its associated volcanoes. Its one of those places you visit to remember... and watch seismic reports like long range weather forecasts San Fransisco and LA. are another ..Ditto the areas round Java ... or Japan a lot depends on how close you are to the shore and the type of architecture around you. Glad your getting around the Med look forward to seeing more sights and keep an eye out for unusual boats and places.👍🏼😎

[@user-ef5si5ux4u]

Hi there, i’ve been watching you’re kraken videos over and over again, what a fantastic yacht! I’m wondering though why you haven’t followed up with the yard footage? Is there a specific reason or have your adventures just gotten in the way?

[@_Willem_]

The beautiful Amalfi coast, My nr 1 place to sail to in Italy. I spend many times there, even 3 Months in a row to replace our broken mast for a newly build mast in Genova.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Wow, that's a fair bit of work you had done there! We thoroughly enjoyed the place too.

[@_Willem_]

@@SailingMillennialFalcon Well, I came there in Genova and our 28 mtr aluminium mast was still not build yet. But we also reinstalled a New generator and a new radar and a lot of other things. I loved the old houses in porto antico o_~

[@bruceparker4638]

Next time you install something that needs sealant, try putting tape down around the perimeter first, then apply sealant and complete the install and at the end pull up the tape.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Or we were just in a hurry??? 🤔

I think mixing with the rich and famous is working for you both; Khiara is looking more beautiful each episode!

[@allanmoore7790]

Turkey witnessed the bloodiest coup attempt in its political history on July 15, 2016, when a section of the Turkish military launched a coordinated operation in several major cities to topple the government and unseat President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Except for watching the news about this event, I had no idea what Turkey really looked like or how modern Istanbul was. Thanks for sharing this part of your travels!

[@davep5788]

What you mean is some of the junior members of the military were set up to fail to further establish Erdogan's power. But ya, nice looking place.

[@edwardfinn4141]

I suggest you haul out in Praia de Victoria, Terceria, Azores.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

We did pass through there but at the time they were jam packed. With covid as it is, a lot of people weren't able to get back to their boats or hauled out and went home after crossing the Atlantic so the usual yard space had overflowed into another yard and blocks were in short supply

[@graemesmith8232]

We love Millie ❤️ The Kraken was fantastic for those who can afford a new yacht. But I prefer Millie, just shows how much money I have 😃

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

I think any sailor can all appreciate a good sailboat regardless of age or price :D For a short period of time after we first bought Millie I thought we'd paid too much for her after we'd spoken to a bunch of other boat owners around us who paid wayyy less for their boats! haha

[@waynefederico9396]

O joy, looks like a great time ... Q ? watching on a tv seems like your sound is deeper bass, on the head set sounds better . Boy you guys have all the luck... carry-on

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Hmmm, I'm not sure why the sound is different. Other than volume changes and reducing wind noise in certain clips, we try not to mess with it too much. We've been friends with John and his wife for 3 years, it could be luck that they invited us but I really hope it's because we're nice people! haha :)

[@jpdj2715]

7:52 - Bosporus - is the same word as Oxford. We can safely assume that the ancient Greek name was Bosphoros. A ford is a shallow in water where people and cattle can cross. In the Netherlands there's a town called Coevorden (the oe are pronounced oo) and this is the same old word again (cow ford or ox ford), in this case there was a swampy water, not a water stream. So the name of the city, Istanbul, is actually a bastardization of the Greek "eis tèn polis" (to the city). Old cultures would ask a traveler maybe for their name and certainly where they were from, and then, where are you going to? And that's where the name comes from.

I’ve noticed there are cities in China, like where HH Cats are manufactured and like Istanbul and others in Portugal that make me realize how badly some of the US cities have degenerated, along with the culture I’m afraid. The rot starts from the top, which means some very corrupt governments at all levels, Federal, State and City. There is a striking difference between the cities in California for example and many cities around the world - a difference that does not complement California.
