THE TRUTH about SAILING (sailing in Italy, Sicily, Aeolian islands) - Living on a sailboat Ep. 2

After crossing the insidious Strait of Messina, we now have to face an ocean of difficulties in order to sail to the Aeolian Islands in Sicily. Aeolus, the legendary king of the winds, will not favour us for long and the God Vulcano does not welcome us as we expect... But in all this, we discover the truth about sailing.

Who are we?
We are Giulia and Mads, an Italian-Danish sailing couple with the dream of sailing around the world in a self-sufficient manner. In 2021 we moved aboard our sailboat Alba, a Hanse 370e from 2009, and we are currently exploring the Mediterranean while working remotely.

I like the theme of this episode! Your optimism reminds me of two quotes: “Smooth seas never made a skilled sailor” -Franklin D Roosevelt “We cannot control the wind, but we can adjust our sails” - Dolly Parton

I love your spiritual feelings in addition to ease of talking about the surrounding and findings 😊

You're off to a fantastic start. I love the narration as it weaves the new with the old and the mythical with the mundane. You also provided some much needed inspiration as we struggle with setbacks with refitting our old boat, so thank you. Best wishes and I hope you keep at it!

[@albasailing2009]

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! We are very happy that you enjoyed the video! And we have just released a new episode 🤗 We wish you all the best with the refitting project and are looking forward to meeting you somewhere on the ocean! ⛵️

Nice video. Thanks!

[@albasailing2009]

Thank you a lot! 🤗

[@pleiadesdriver1]

This was a very nice story. I love how you have included the mythology of the surrounding area. You have a very nice narration and I hope we get at some point a chance to meet up with you on your travels. In the coming year we are planning to sail ourselves to the Mediterranean. Our boat currently is in Scotland, but we plan on making our way south to the Med by next winter. I hope your relationship with Neptune and Aeolus never sours and fair winds follow you through your adventures.

[@albasailing2009]

Hello and nice to meet you! Thank you for the comment, we are very happy that you appreciated the historical/mythological references. More myths and legends in the next episodes! Your plan to sail from Scotland to the Med sounds very cool and we hope to meet you here in some months so that we cal hear about your adventures while drinking some good Italian wine! ⛵️

Such beauty you’ve captured and I really learned a lot about the history of the island and landscape. Thank you for adding such flavor to the film.

Thank you for watching! We are passionate about history and mythology and are happy to share what we learn about the places we visit! We hope that you will join us for the next episode. Have a nice day!

Very nice video.

[@ooweesaler]

How nice to be able to take your time and explore. Unfortunately we have to make the most of just 90 days in europe 😥

[@albasailing2009]

Hi, thank you for the comment! So sorry to hear! It is indeed very unfortunate because Europe is really big! I hope you can still enjoy your trips here and make the most out of them 🤗

[@stephenburnage7687]

That 90 day limit really is unfortunate. Sail cruising can not be done in a hurry.

[@jankokman1791]

hi, good info, have a good and safe trip from viking spøsmål, what are your plans for the trip ;)

[@albasailing2009]

Thank you! 🤗 We have explored some of the other islands in around Sicily and now we are doing some boat maintenance before the new sailing season starts! 🤗⛵️

Hi Giulia and Mads, Really enjoyed your videos, as a pair of old sailors Silvia my partner and I follow quite a few sailing Vloggers, and came across you guys by chance,, Very enjoyable, You really seem a nice couple and set for a great adventure in a fantastic area of sailing (The Med) So much cultute and History, As you are starting out I would just add a couple of things, Please do not take offence, as we are your audience to whom you are appealing, and any critique if taken well can only enhance perhaps and maybe help grow your subscriber base (of whom now, we are one) You speak very well and your voice is perfect for this, but maybe just a little bit less of the history lesson and phiosophy, some is good, but just maybe a touch overdone, and secondly when quickly showing a sequence of different shots/Scenes, it was a bit Too quick, maybe just a second longer on each would be perfect, We do hope you take this feedback in the spirit it is proferred, because we are genuinely new admirers and very much look forward to following the rest of your journey, and eagerly await the next installment, Best Regards Glyn and Silvia

[@albasailing2009]

Hi Glyn and Silvia, thank you so much for your comment and sorry for not replying earlier (we were in the middle of a haul out with a lot of boat maintenance ;)). We really appreciate your feedback, it helps us improve and make more enjoyable videos. So thank you so much for it and we hope that you will like the next videos. These first episode give us a chance to try out different styles and get some feedback, so that we can hopefully make some very good videos in the 2023 sailing season. All the best 🤗⛵️
