You guys are so sweet for helping out the turtle and all the stray animals...

[@24hourtravellers]

You're awesome to help the little turtle!! 💪❤

[@kristaready8812]

I didn't know a tortoise could get tics, wow! Great job guys.

[@SailingSunday]

Sure can! And in all the hard to reach places😆

[@krystynadawson3318]

Ryan and Britney so proud of you both in your patience to remove all those ticks! So tender hearted of you both!!! Krystyna in Wisconsin

[@yaa63]

SO COOL to see your pets as naturals on kayaks and dingy...and the jellyfish were so AWESOME to see clearly luminescence WOW imagine them in the dark...great assistance on the tortoise, might sound weird to end up in turkey picking on ticks off a tortoise but for animal lovers its normal...nice braide!!! ...what a place to anchor😍😍😍

[@SailingSunday]

yeah they make us laugh everyday! I know crazy, we end up in some funny situations lol

[@Matt-qi8qw]

Love the shot with Jackson on boat with moon above and Fin running along the deck!

[@SailingSunday]

That was a Supermoon apparently. It was huge, sometimes the cameras just don't do it justice so its awesome you noticed that, it was incredible! haha, yeah they are so funny those 2 lol

[@Matt-qi8qw]

​@@SailingSunday Yeah they could have their own channel! Haha... the braids... thats funny, keep safe and happy birthday buddy!

[@Robert-ui1dg]

It makes me proud of humanity that you were picking text out the TARDIS ticks off a tortoise

[@SailingSunday]

lol thanks, yeah anything to help the little guy out

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

Nice one like always guys. Having a big dog like Jackson is the best deterrent against anchorage thieves.

[@SailingSunday]

Thank you! Yes, I sometimes imagine if someone came up to the swim step and Jackson surprising them, head height going nuts... I don't think they will want to climb aboard lol

[@fgansell]

Enjoyed this one..nice spot for isolating..loved the footage with tortoise..thanks guys

[@SailingSunday]

The tortoise was so cool, a little scared at first, but he would be much happier now! Thanks, glad you enjoyed it, next weeks is pretty exciting too, can't wait to share it with you guys!

[@Mr45Bullitt]

Always amazes me how Jackson and Finn adapt so well to boat life. Very nice of you to help the tortoise not many people would do that. Stay safe guys!

[@SailingSunday]

Yeah they do great, but everything revolves around them, we have adapted boat life to them a it slightly

[@jaynem8681]

I love watching your adventures! We shared so many amazing times during the Covid pandemic. I feel very luvky to have been able to share it with all of you 😊⛵

[@SailingSunday]

Thanks Jaynee! It's definitely been crazy :)

[@ronhedrick7093]

The area you guys are at is very beautiful, but it looks like it's just freezing there. I will be glad to see you in a warmer place. Stay safe and warm!

[@SailingSunday]

Yeah its been a cold start to summer here, but its much warmer now. Next week things get back to normal! :)

[@wesailwillow]

That tortoise sure is better off for your visit :) Good one guys.

[@SailingSunday]

Thanks, yes we gave him little more comfort, there were tonnes of ticks on him though, probably a second shot at life lol

[@rayrayray63]

Love your vids ,,, TKS very much ..

[@SailingSunday]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@shadow.overland]

Just looking at your Navionics routing starting at around 6:25 in the video. I was sailing all around that same area in late Sept and early Oct 2019. We had two yachts doing a Greece Turkey run and we crossed from Greece to Turkey right were you are showing. Anchored for the night on the north side of Nimos, Greece and then went across the next day and checked into Turkey in Datca where we spent the night. We stayed a bit north of where you end up in this video for our Turkey tour and then headed back to Kos, Greece where the trip ended. Small World!!

[@SailingSunday]

Thats awesome! Sounds much better than our trip dodging military and coastguards trying not to do anything wrong or cross any boarders that will get us kicked out of all countries LOL

[@shadow.overland]

@@SailingSunday Stay safe and keep posting videos!!! :-)

[@keithh8661]

What a cool thing to be doing!thanks for sharing

[@SailingSunday]

Thanks Keith :)

[@tommygunz8692]

That was crazy all those tic’s on that turtle...Brit did a good thing .......Jackson seemed a little depressed...Maybe finn was getting on his nerves.lol....😎😎😎

[@SailingSunday]

Yeah poor thing, we pulled out sooooooo many! Actually, yeah its been a bit tough lately with all the restrictions getting to shore, its been a hard few weeks for him but having Finn constantly jumping on his nose when hes sleeping waking him up doesn't help lol!!! poor Jackson ends up just giving up laying there with Finn attacking his nose..... lol

[@colinboniface194]

I'll settle for fourth... Jesus, you two are in a beautiful place... Jackson amazes me, he's so tolerant, given thatwith one munch, the cats history...LOL

[@SailingSunday]

:) Yeah it's awesome here. Brittnis just working on next weeks video and its so amazing to look back on! This next place is absolutely beautiful, the footage we have is incredible for next week! Jackson is great a very gentle soul but he can be nuts sometimes when he gets super excited. When they both get going its absolute chaos! LOL

[@ritamatthews2655]

Gorgeous spot. Really missing my boat now. We usually end up in Deep Bay just west of where you are. The spit you are in is normally chockers!

[@ritamatthews2655]

East I mean, just woke up from night shift. Brain not functioning🤔

[@SailingSunday]

ah yes, Deep bay will be in next weeks video :) We have had a month or so completely empty, its been a bit unreal, very unique and very grateful to be able to share all this with you guys!

[@earlsnapp5209]

That's a Greek Tortoise. Cheers to helping him out, much respect

[@SailingSunday]

Thanks, no worries!! :)

[@johnlord7854]

Ha ha, Katie (13) and I spent a night and two half days exploring in Bozukkale in September last year ! We loved the goats too ! Did you wander around the Castle ruins ? The Lady at the Restaurant bakes really yummy bread every morning !!! Regards, John. Wellington, NZ.

[@SailingSunday]

Yum!!! No, we would have loved to stay longer but due to the pandemic everything was closed and no one around.

[@johnlord7854]

@@SailingSunday Are you still in Marmaris ?

[@joen5918]

Beautyfull Göceck I have been there some time ago. This vid. Was probably taken some time ago it is end of July the best months to Come. Sai hello to Muharem he's the hbr. Master of the Göceck marina, great guy he even invited us to his marriage some years ago😉. Happy sailing Joe

[@SailingSunday]

So beautiful! We are still here, just sailing around back and forth in and around Gocek as we can't leave due to the pandemic, but we aren't complaining!!! lol :)

[@joen5918]

Sailing Sunday will be heading to Turkey next month (by air) sailing from Kusadashi towards Goceck. Maybe see you there. Greetings from Phuket...Joe

[@turhanyuksel4341]

You well come to my country Turkey. All the time you have a place in here, you are very kind to mother nature , you must be honored by world passport for free crossing to world.

[@SailingSunday]

Thank you.. Its been amazing here in Turkey

[@jamesbond9873]

Perfect timing 7:30 am having my coffee in Ottawa. Cheers guys.

[@SailingSunday]

lol! Thats awesome, we're trying to get these up slightly earlier these days! :) Hope you enjoy!!

[@stevethuss2707]

I BELIEVE IF U WOULD HAVE PUT THE TURTLE IN THE WATER, THE TIC'S WOULD LET GO, THEY NEED AIR. WHAT WE DO IS USE HAND LOTION OR SOME TYPE OF CREAM TO CUT OFF THEIR AIR SUPPLY.

[@ggoddkkiller1342]

Yep, external parasite treatments are doing exactly that by chemically blocking breathing channels in ticks or other parasites.

[@SailingSunday]

Thanks guys! We will try this next time!!!

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

more catching up...

[@toddabrahamsson1797]

I noticed watching your videos that your blue hull is aging and has faded quite a bit due to the Sun ? I have a way to repair this problem . This is a method I used in my many years at the family boatyard. Buy yourself a good vibrating sander and sand the hull with wet & dry sandpaper use as much water as you dare when sanding, be careful not to electrocute yourself. As to the type of and grit ? 3M , start with 800 grit then bump up to 1200 grit , at this point get a really aggressive rubbing compound 3M makes the best. The compound they make is called 3M Super Duty compound. Use a really good buffing machine with a wool 10” bonnet. If the shine doe not come up as good as you would like then bump up your finish sand paper to 2000 grit paper then apply the Super Duty compound. The hull should clean up pretty good and have a shine like a mirror. Good luck ! When applying water during sanding use a winded bottle to lightly apply the water , the water will not only aid the sandpaper’s but will help the paper last longer. This will save you a ton of money trying to fix the topsides . As long as you don’t blow through the blue gelcoat this type of fix should last for many years. Again good luck.

[@SailingSunday]

Yeah, it needs a good polish. It's hard to do though, we spend 95% of our time on anchor lol

[@digitalfotonetz]

What types are the other boats?

[@SailingSunday]

Coastline is a Beneteau 473, Salacia Star is a Macintosh 47 and Adventurous the Catamaran is a custom 36' (I think), not too sure exactly what it is.

[@tiborkiss9186]

it seems you found the perfect hide-out. just one thing: for how long did you provision? or is there a grocery shop nearby?

[@SailingSunday]

It was a bit of a struggle to get here, but worth it. About 5-6 weeks worth of supplies. Maybe more if we rationed better but after the main lockdowns, Turkey just started having mini lockdowns and curfews so we can move if needed.

[@replatablet4849]

If they are lucky, the grocery shop will come to them :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHesYoN8otyJaaM

We're gonna get thru this alive would have rhymed with Life LoL

Karetta karetta help better animal love thank you Love you ❤️🌹🏆amerika man's happy day's ❤️🌹🏆⭐⭐sailing sunday 🇺🇲🇫🇷🇪🇦🇹🇷

[@toddabrahamsson1797]

I have a question for the both of you ? Are you guys ever going to make it to the Caribbean ? If so any idea when ? Let your viewers know. Thanks again for the great videos.

[@SailingSunday]

Yes we are planning on crossing December this year. Already done our research and have a list of animal welfare organizations but There's a few things we need first that we are trying to organise first such as life raft, dodger etc. We are saving every penny so hopefully we can get there pending this Covid pandemic!

[@liongod1000]

*_ Nice of you to help that Tortoise out! When are you going to have a Dodger mounted on Sunday, so much more pleasant when it rains and the wind is howling. _*

[@SailingSunday]

HAHA, I'm working on it... We got a quote here in Marmaris Turkey for one but they wanted $1,500EURO for a frame and never got the quote for the cover..... We contacted NV Equipment in France to see if they would be interested in sponsoring us for the Atlantic crossing later in the year but haven't heard back. These things are expensive!!! lol

[@liongod1000]

@@SailingSunday *_ On a Lighter note.... Hope you two aren't going the same way as every second other sailing channels by getting PREGNANT.... GEEZ, speak about Baby boomers! Ha Ha Ha _*

Thanks!!! haha

[@allied1394]

I hate tics they are all over my dogs I have to get my yard sprayed all the time

[@SailingSunday]

Yeah they are pretty bad, poor turtle, they will come back again but hopefully in the future someone will find him again and pick them off again!

[@svlolalouise9763]

I’m still here just not first 😂

[@SailingSunday]

This just made us both laugh!! lol

[@kingdesert7807]

Ya should burn ticks so eggs they carry dont live on

[@SailingSunday]

We didn't even think about that damnit!! Back home we used to put them in pure Alcohol but all I had was beer... Probably could have tried that! lol

[@kingdesert7807]

@@SailingSunday dont waste ya beer mate

[@kingdesert7807]

2 seconds with a lighter

[@ggoddkkiller1342]

You aren't weirdos rather just lovely people who care about animals!! But sadly you were removing ticks wrongly as if you squeeze them their blood might run into the animal and greatly increase infection risk so you should just use a small fork or similar object and place it under ticks then pull upwards they will pop out easily with a minimum risk of infections. They aren't too harmful like they can kill animals etc but ofc no living thing likes those parasites so it was great seeing a graveyard of them😁😁

[@SailingSunday]

Yes we were very careful, we got them all out OK without squeezing them, actually, we did break the head from just one but we got the head out also in the end to prevent infection... Poor thing, hopefully hes feeling a little more comfortable now!

[@Robert-ui1dg]

Jackson wants to eat that cat

[@SailingSunday]

haha, hes had plenty of opportunities but I swear the cat would eat him lol

[@iMatti00]

You should have saw how close you could get to the submarine.

[@SailingSunday]

Yeah, we did talk about it for a second,, but then realized the best thing is probably not turn into it hahaha

[@iMatti00]

*I can’t believe you killed 20 innocent ticks. You should be ashamed of yourselves! 🕷 (Lol)*

[@SailingSunday]

It's funny you say that, I felt bad and gave them our blessings afterwards lol
