We’ve been sailing in Europe for a year and a half and we have had some insane highs, and some low lows. There is a lot to love about this place and it’s safe to say that our experiences here have changed our lives.
For someone who grew up in California, Europe always seemed to me like a magical world. A place where the very very old is somehow intertwined with the modern. Where Ernest Hemmingway sat in streetside cafe’s drinking liquors that I can’t pronounce, switching from one language to another as he discussed art and love and war or whatever.
I knew that all civilizations have a “Culture” but it seemed like somehow Europe had more of it.
Now that we’ve been sailing here for 18 months I can say that some of the stereotypes have held up and some have not. And this week, as we sail away from this fascinating continent we want talk about our thoughts on this extremely unique part of the world, the things we liked and the things we could do without.

Thought I would check back in. Just blown away by the quality of your work. The audio, while you are motoring, with the flag fully extended in the background is amazingly clear. Whatever you are doing, it works great. Have you done a "how-to" video about the way you guys record and edit the shows? Probably shouldn't. Trade secrets. And the kids. They are going to write books about you guys and their adventures as a small child, and they will have the masters to prove it. I'm doing some interesting stuff, but no sailboats are involved. My friend, Bill Pinkney passed last year. 1st African American to circumnavigate the globe, alone. Looking forward to your future adventures.

[@francineclave2207]

⛵️⛵️⛵️ Welcome Back, speaking for 255,000 of us WE MISSED YOU!

[@intrepidnomads]

You guys are going to LOVE Turkey!!! We made 2 explorations there with a motorcycle and later rented an apartment and spent the winter in Kas about 5 years ago. Nice marina there but if you can get permission to dock in the downtown (mostly commercial) harbor: even better!! If you can leave your boat for a week or longer, Cappadocia is an absolutely amazing place to explore. Turkish hospitality is pretty amazing too. SUPER nice people!!! I should also mention that Istanbul is definitely worth a visit. Enjoy!!!

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

How long ago was that?

[@intrepidnomads]

@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 On the motorcycle in late 2012 (the western coast, took about a month doing that) and then in 2014. Then we rented an apartment in Kas (for three months) in the winter of 2018/2019. Highly recommend Turkey!

[@joeycantrell5437]

Wow….changing diapers while sea sick!! That’s got to be next level….😂😂

[@windingroad9678]

Lol for sure

[@TheMarineSurveyorNotebookBenSu]

So pleased to see you are no longer med mooring Virgins 😅 hopefully we'll see you soon take care❤ ben and Louise

[@omerserme8921]

Hoş Geldiniz...⚓

[@Dan6erous]

1st cookie is kourabiethes! Don't accidentally inhale while eating or you will have temporary death by powdered sugar. Loved making these with my Greek mama.

[@liberty4175]

When Jordan asked how are the ladies? And Oso skipping along the edge of the boat, no life vest lol. God forbid he falls , DOG OVERBOARD ! How would they know ?

[@VeronicaHoltskog]

Happy to see you back

[@WilliamBrinlee-qx6cp]

I agree Yall come back home

[@nicknaxos]

Welcome back! Happy new year my friends! We love you a lot ❤❤❤

[@jessren1618]

Hope y’all had a great Christmas and New Years!

[@domfer2540]

Traveling is magical. Every city, town or empty structure has a history worth while exploring. It is an experience that you will never forget. We have our memories, you will to.

[@sarahmorton6881]

Love you guys. I'm glad to see you back

[@marshamercer876]

Great video! Thank you for taking me to all of those beautiful places

[@joshmontgomery4040]

Love you all safe travels ❤

[@lausagne4764]

nice video, thanks for sharing

[@ThisIsTheWave]

HOSGELDINIZ 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

[@drcandor]

That off season almost empty port town is a timely gem * It would have been a tough decision, for me, to move on, weather window or not; the place seems simply enchanting. . . :>/

[@TheOceanBandits]

This made us even more excited to go to Europe! We look so forward to your videos every week. Hope you had a lovely Holiday season!

[@RangeBustersUSA]

Love this. So happy your out there. Carl from Key West😊

[@lotusdolphin]

So great to see you guys again! Isa is getting so big. Enjoyed your Vlogs. Sending lots of love, Fairwinds at your back from LIZ in California

[@TTM-GEB]

Night Vision Monocular - Have you considered having one? They are very affordable now, a good Bushnell is less than $300us. Great for when you pull into an anchorage at night... A Thermal Monocular would be great in fog and other times, also in the $300us price range. Both would be nice to have when looking out for pirates. 🎉

[@alanw9677]

Night and thermal vision is a GREAT help ALL the time! Safety,safety,safety! A couple of flare guns and spear guns could be defensive weapons also. Be VERY careful about advertising you’re Americans! Too many radical people in those Middle East countries! Hate to say it, and I’m always the patriot, 🇺🇸, but maybe y’all should swap your USA flag for a Turkish one. Never know what someone might do while you’re away from your boat...or worse! Stay safe and healthy ⛵️🇺🇸

[@rileybri]

Wow a year and a half? Feel like just yesterday you were painting your mark in the Azores.

[@jamesfairbairn6084]

Enjoyed another episode Europe was wonderful. Loved all the islands and buildings. Beautiful

[@sailingoriyo]

Thank you for your great videos which showed the Mediterranean so beautiful. Thank you for sharing all of this with all of us. We left the south of France in September 2022 and we are traveling towards the Caribbean. Bon voyage

[@ToiOraLAT]

Great stuff guys! As always of course. I can't wait to see where you take us next. Whatever and wherever we go I can't wait. Best from AK NZ

[@user-od1wj1rz8g]

Happy you have returned. You guys have been missed.

[@TroyaE117]

Did you come to West Scotland, UK ? The Med can be unforgiving - either not enough wind, or too much. You may find the cooler air to the north more inviting and dependable, and we have a thousand places to see and plenty of shelter. And the wind blows around this Blessed Plot. And it is not crowded.

[@SailingGargoyle]

We would second that recommendation. We spent this past summer sailing in Ireland and Scotland, specifically Jura Sound and the Firth of Clyde. Brilliant place!

[@48William]

Looking forward to your next video

[@SailingGargoyle]

Watching your Med episodes as we plan to head further North and East after a winter spent in Tunisia. Just waiting for a weather window to make the run over to Malta and follow in your wake.

[@robertlemoine3500]

Thankyou 😊

[@thomastoth9276]

Safe Travels... Enjoy !

[@leeannhurtt9616]

Brandon, your narration is always so insightful and thoughtful. I spend about four months out of the year in Greece and my observations about the country and its people mirror yours. Really looking forward to seeing your Turkiye adventures.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Jordan. : )

[@stevennelson7628]

Love you guys!

[@hllztrk]

Welcome to Türkiye 🇹🇷 🎉

[@laurierodriguez1432]

Happy New Year!! ✌️💜

[@carloslovesmandy248]

We've really enjoyed watching y'all this season. Everything about your videos are lovely to watch. Looking forward to the next upload. Cheers from Bama, Carlos and Mandy.

[@gailmariage5318]

We've been waiting for you to come back. Welcome.

[@karenprice5439]

We are from Canada 🇨🇦.. We love watching your journey

[@tawharanui5011]

Welcome to Turkey!

[@bobsails9750]

Thanks very much

[@wow.sailor.]

Wow Sailor 🥳👍

[@ajnasreddin]

Fair Isle spent a winter in Turkey. You should have fun there as well.

[@journeyon6598]

Missed you and glad to see that you are well.❤❤❤

[@kourtjestr552]

Holy crap 3:58 is that the same place they filmed the Chateau D'if from the movie The Count of Monte Cristo??

[@iainlyall6475]

@5:10 ya but you aren't packing up all your possessions every 6 months or every time you have to move. you have that part fairly easy.

[@tirmikj5]

2:18 Aegean sea never calms down... -espacially last couple years warming up situations, makes LOW PREssure systems comes and goes from Azor to, Anatolia, even tails up to Blacksea..as rolling and blowing from south! which is you never expect this much even in summer

[@stevemedlock5716]

another perfect vid. Please be careful there. Been there done that. used to be leather was very cheap. :) just an old sailor.

[@vickychristopoulos8614]

Hi, most didn't live by the water because of pirates back in the day and hid in the Mt villages

[@mswendy9706]

I've been SO worried since not seeing your videos for weeks...so glad to see you again

[@windingroad9678]

So glad you are headed to Turkey now. Happy New Year & God Bless all of you!!❤

[@aggiez]

Nice Cap Bro!, I was born in Mountain View, could be in Cruz in an Hour, grew up there

[@curtisb9422]

You guys are the best couple! There are a number of cruising couples, but not many with a new baby and a dog! I worry about the dog having a DOB (dog over board) but I'm sure doggy plays it safe. If we want to learn about the early days when you guys met, and all the work you did getting the boat ready, do you have videos that far back?

[@ProjectAtticus]

Funny you should ask! We're working on a recap Series of out story starting today!

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

They have a whole other series with their first boat. It's great too

[@greenfuture578]

If you liked Greece as much as you did, you are in for a treat in Turkiye. Lived in Turgutreis close to the marina last year, loved it and can't wait to get back but the Shenghen shuffle caught us out...our boats still in Lefkas...roll on Spring time. Good luck and enjoy the boulevard walks with your daughter.

[@yachtandyacht]

welcome to Turgutreis 🙏happy holidays there👍

[@krzysztofp.9442]

Three weeks, and look at Isa! Time is going by fast… ❤

[@debbyvancenbrock2100]

I have been worried about ya all. Ive been checking every day for your new video. Glad to know ya all are ok

[@jerrymacvaldosta]

yet another awesome chapter Thanks

[@azadahmad9627]

Very beautiful ❤❤❤

[@CanTho2022]

Jordan…if you LOVE culture. Come to Asia! China, for example, has over 4,000 years of culture still remaining! It’s like stepping back in time!!

[@malina08266]

Great episode! I always love it when I see a glimpse of Little Washington in your vids. Sure missed you over the holidays, hope you had a wonderful visit with family. Can't wait to see what's next for y'all.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Little Washington?

[@joannsoland8871]

The main and sailing culture are non political usually. Makes traveling the world safe. But keep up to date with the news. We sailed in the 90's

[@TheEstampe]

I love your channel and it's rapidly become one of my favourites. The photography/videography with stunning drone footage, the commentary, the storytelling, and very balanced and respectful views of the cultures you discover put the quality of your production way above all the other sailing channels'. Can't wait to see what's next for you guys!

[@fredbrooks8347]

Missed you guys. Hope your Holidays were relaxing and you had a much deserved break. A new adventure on tap and I am looking forward to it. As always have fun be safe and see you next week.

[@ThoughtsfromTOM]

Hope you are enjoying your stay in Türkiye. Love your videos and your cometary. Is Oso doing okay with the stray dogs? My daughter is in Turgutries and is making friends with those dogs as she walks to the store by your marina.

[@dianegriffith3006]

So glad you’re back and hope you had a great holiday season AND NOW-you’re on your way to brand new adventures-so happy to see you as you’ve been missed. Big Hugs!!🥰

[@skiyogagirl]

I love your videos and missed you guys so much!! Thanks for updating us. I thought I was subscribed & I wasn’t. But now I am! This was an excellent video and it was such a nice re-cap. I am going back to the beginning to watch any videos I may have missed. Hope you are all well! 💛💥🎉

[@non.8994]

Isa is like "Hey Dad, you are talking in the wrong direction, I'm here, helloooo" She is so sweet, by the minute Happy New Year 2024!🍀🥂🍾

[@maryjnorwood3962]

What a lovely retrospective of your time in the Med. Looking forward to more! (Your family makes me happy. 😎🥰)

[@phyllispritchard8627]

The USPS has sent my Christmas gift from my son (in Ohio) to Turkey instead of Florida. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Can you grab it and bring it to me? 😂😂😂 I’d probably get it faster from you guys! 🤣🤣 Enjoy the journey! It’s good to see you back! I was wondering when you’d have another video on. 💜❤️🐝🔮⚡️⛵️

[@alohatvj]

Very entertaining video 📹 👏. We missed you over the weeks. Welcome 🙏 back. Will see you on the next one 😊.

[@achillkara1818]

Greece the land of Gods😊 tzaziki souvlaki moussaka and so many goods. Have a nice sea

[@TheAtma50]

Hi guys, Happy New Year!! I'm really looking forward to seeing what you make of Turkey. Stay Safe & Fair Winds!! ☘

[@TonyStark-oq2vs]

hey... that blue flannel that Jordan was wearing a lot in this vid - with the metal snaps/buttons - don't suppose you'd mind sharing the brand? that's a cool shirt and i'm a flannel guy. lol. would love to check them out.

Ahhhhhh missed you guys. So so happy to have you back.

[@donaldbrown9437]

Enjoyed hearing your perspective on sailing in Europe! I really enjoy seeing Isa smile! 😊

[@mikebrant9920]

Been following for 3 years, thanks for making us travel the world 👍

[@kristaready8812]

Another fantastic video. The quality just keeps getting better and better! Is it just me or is Isabella getting prettier by the episode and her personality is really shining. Wish this one was longer otherwise it was perfection 🤗💞

[@eileenderheim3768]

Enjoyed your time in Greece. Isa has grown so much and is just adorable. ♥ Look forward to the future journeys.

[@richardsmith4187]

I've been following your adventures since the start and continue to think, you should do a book on your adventures which would be amazing to read and you have tons of video and photos. The scenery in your travels is breathtaking and the details are just as interesting. I know it's one more thing, but maybe could be a side project for the future ?? Thanks for sharing your amazing adventure with the world !

[@victorialarson5140]

We missed you! Loved the video this morning (as always).

[@BJ-xs7np]

Watching your family videos is the highlight of my week. Thank you for sharing. I was looking at Isa on this video with her big smile and so tiny, I just thought, ' Honey, you are such a blessed little girl" with parents, lifestyle, pet, and love wherever she goes. What a wonderful life. With the evil we face in the States that is coming across our Southern border, and the inflation that is off the charts, life here sucks the joy right out of everyday events. Still, even if you guys have to come up with the unknown like grocery stores and other things you need, you still live a "free" lifestyle without the government taking your rights away from you.

[@Analog_nomad01]

I noticed you boat is flagged in the US. How do you do (boat) insurance??

[@Morrisfactor]

Thank you for another absorbing and well done video!

[@muratkucuk3882]

I am glad you made it on time in Turgutreis. The next day there was a big storm. We missed you guys.

[@davidnichols147]

Isa has grown like a weed, she seems so comfortable aboard and we are all praying her health is adequate for this lifestyle. Thank you so much for sharing these moments in Greece, informative and the cinematography and editing is superb. Happy New Years in Turkey, we loved it there back in the day.

[@OldGlaseye-gf7si]

Your production quality for every video is really impressive. The sights, the narration....Really excellent. This one particularly. Bravo...
