'One of the HARDEST decisions we've had to make so far' - Ch.19

[@tomg8636]

Hey ladies, hope you are both well and thriving… what’s going on with you guys? Are you planning to return? Staying in the uk. I enjoy the channel and your adventures, also you have my dream boat, so love seeing that too. Anyway, best wishes to you both. Tom

New sub here. i arrived after finding your info about the greek cruising tax. Imagine, there was once a time when italy, greece & turkey were incredible unspoilt wildernesses without heavy costs and taxes.

[@TheSailingNomads]

Thanks for joining us! I suppose one way of looking at the Greek tax is that they can put it towards maintaining the beauty E.g. rubbish collection for cruisers, town quays etc. whether they will or not is of course another matter!

I have the same outboard, brilliant, wouldn’t be without it. Andy UK

Sorry for slow reply! The silent tender is magic isn’t it! How do you charge yours? Just mains? Or do you have the solar/12V option too?

Nice video to watch thank you both. Hope you can get back to your boat sometime this year and carry on exploring, best wishes.

[@TheSailingNomads]

Thanks so much Russ! Yes we have everything crossed, but not making firm plans yet... because who can?!! Haha hope you’re ok too and thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@sailingaphrodite4189]

It has been a challenging year! Hopefully 2021 will be less of a challenge. Putting the boat on the hard always marks the end of the sailing season and you have sailed far more miles than Aphrodite and me this year. Still as I sit planning next years wee trip to Stromness there is always something to look forward to. Stay safe and look forward to that splash; as the boat goes back where she belongs XXx

[@TheSailingNomads]

Awww Sandy we can’t wait to hear more about your trip! We actually have some family in the Kirkness, so you won’t be far! It’ll be a beautiful sail and yes we can’t wait for the next splash! Thanks for your message and support as always! Happy New Year and fair winds xxx

[@sailslikeagirl3154]

[@karelcervenka6746]

Sad. :-( I hope you and your close people are well. Wish you the best. :-)

[@TheSailingNomads]

Aw thank you! Pleased to report all are doing better and we hope to return to Caladh soon! Hope you’re well too!

[@johanfraser5307]

Glad you managed to get some sailing in, which is more than we did. Where did you leave her in the end. Looked like Kalamata. We loved the Peloponnese and especially Elafonisos. Stay safe both of you x

[@TheSailingNomads]

Happy New Year Jo!! Yes we felt very lucky to get any at all tbh! Better luck this year.. yes spot on with Kalamata! Peloponnesus is stunning isn’t it, hopefully something closer to normality will resume soon! Stay safe you two too! Xxx

[@WinningCustomers]

MIss your incredible videos! Where are you now? What's next?

[@svamanda2319]

Hi ladies me again, just in case you bring your boat home to uk, might be wise to read the new VAT laws on boat imports. At my sailing club we are all running around trying to find proof we paid the vat. Hope all ok.xx

[@TheSailingNomads]

Hi Paul, yes thankfully we went on a bit of a long and winding wild goose chase when we purchased Caladh, so are ok with the paperwork. We also got a T2L document, which has gained a nod from some of the ports we’ve visited 👍🏻 it’s a rubbish situation isn’t it, we’re currently planning our passage around 3-months in and 3-months out.. 🤪 xxx
