Episode 199 - Trouble Setting Our Anchor after a day Sailing in Turkey!

[@oceanchaser]

i joined as a patron i want to help you keep the kids fed and keep the boat up in maintenance jobs. I think my favorite parts of your videos are when you and the kids dive of the boat swim have fun. I get to see all the corals blow bubbles just so enjoyable, and when you guys swim all the way down and Bear, and Beau, look up at the surface looks like so much fun take care Jim

[@SailingPickleFamily]

Awesome thank you! Swimming is our favourite thing to do! 😃

[@jonathanvince8173]

I am so pleased how your children see things in life appreciating everything. I think you need a powerful windless.

[@SailingPickleFamily]

My kids are ace man! 😃 and yes could definitely do with a new windlass!

[@mani545]

Great video... :-) Well, a video of Beau starting the outboard motor would be great... :-) (cold start)

[@kitchenerleslie6177]

Shame

[@kitchenerleslie6177]

Religious weirdo.

[@SailingPickleFamily]

Beau starts the engine when ever she uses it, I’m sure it’ll be on an episode somewhere. 👍

[@labradormcgraw]

Love these videos - such a great way to start off the week! 🥰

[@SailingPickleFamily]

thank you!

[@nathen4021]

I have a question. How much longer is your sailing trip going to be after the last three years before you guys can sell the catamaran and go back to normal life in England?

[@SailingPickleFamily]

Forever and a day!

[@georgiarasmussen8343]

Wouldn't it be possible to put a marker buoy on your anchor so you don't have to follow the chain out to check it?

[@SailingPickleFamily]

Yes we do sometimes, but we've had other boats come along and pick it up thinking its a mooring bouy, so we are a little dubious now.

[@kevinfitz8516]

so these videos are months behind when released?

[@SailingPickleFamily]

yes we are several moths behind altho they jump from Dec to April when we are sailing again as I don't release boring winter videos 👍

[@marklapierre5629]

Go Bear, go.

[@SailingPickleFamily]

🤣

[@nadimnadim1965]

Absolutely great, I loved the spot you picked to anchor. Had a bit of trouble getting everything set, but from above it looked amazing. It was great seeing Bear and Beau doing their part as crew members helping. You spoke about Great White sharks and I am very familiar as they are very common in the waters off the east coast of the US. Take care my friends and sail safe. 😊❤😊

[@SailingPickleFamily]

Iv never uncounted a great white before! I actually love sharks but if I am to swim with them again, I would like to be in very clear waters 😅👍 Glad you enjoyed the episode, the kids are definitely getting more capable and involved as they get older 🤗

[@kaffeice7]

[@SailingPickleFamily]

Hi. it's Bear, and yes the waters divine! We are a few months behind real time.

[@kaffeice7]

@@SailingPickleFamily few months o wow ,i shouldnt have asked lol... still lovin it

[@cD-vg5go]

Wazzup! Spud says: looking good guys ! Ok so you need a/ yur own weight belt, equalizes you so easier to dive, hang, and come up slower sooner, a lot of vids show some breathing exercises for diving and hunting/ spearfishing, take a weight belt course....getting it off. Luv!

[@SailingPickleFamily]

Thanks Spud, we have got weight belts but not great ones, but Chris does use them when spearfishing though sometimes. 👍
