Cordoba is our 2nd stop on our 2 week road trip in Southern Spain. I've never heard of this city but we were really glad to have stopped here. We also visit a castle where a number of scenes from Game of Thrones were filmed!
How Islam completely changed my perspective...

The end of an Era ... Sailing Ibiza!

Well this video marks the end of an Era for the Great Banana. We finally get to Cartagena, Spain but not before a major last minute hiccup. Ibiza was beautiful and we wish we had more time there but weather issues had us leave early.
The Spanish Riviera in all it's glory and Palma Mallorca!

I'm stoked to finally get this video out, we're joined by our youngest son Tyler after doing the Spanish Riviera and we make the crossing to Mallorca. We see dolphins along the way and I catch my first tuna!!! We visit some amazing historical sites and try some even more amazing food.
We couldn't leave France fast enough...

And you couldn't pay us to go back... In this Adventure of the Great Banana we take you through the French Riviera in a way most vloggers and TH-camrs won't show. July and August are peak season months and there's a reason why many boaters avoid this part of the Med during the summer season.
Cinque Terre and the Italian Riviera!

The Great Banana and The Dial of Destiny
You have it backwards. Disney based Cinderella's castle on this alcazar.
Exactly! Gringos always got it backwards... 😂
yes or in my case bananas always have it backwards :) good catch, the incredible artists and engineers that built this back in the day of no computers or autocad inspired people like DIsney to make good knock offs
Thanks for another great video - I was just sorry you stopped when you did as we are headed to Segovia next week and was looking forward to a preview. We wanted to go to Burgos but didn't make it - from your video looks like we will try again to see if we can fit it in. Enjoyed the video and your narration
@@janicew13 glad you liked it. Ya Segovia is amazing, I’ll start working on the next video tomorrow. Glad to see someone other than family watching lol 😂
You and you mom look like you're trying to hard to be vlogers
Oh Misty 💔😭 we will miss you beautiful girl xxxx
My condolences, she was a great dog and she will be missed
RIP Misty
so sorry to hear the news about Misty. As always enjoy the video - looking forward to seeing part 2 as we haven't made it to the Pyrennes
Glad I found your site - have been enjoying it ! The only thing I find is that it is hard to find which is the next video in order - am I missing an easy way to find them in order? I just go back to your home page and look at how many months ago it was done, but hoping there is an easier way as want to continue following your journey in order
What’s your instagram account?
Another great video. I'm looking forward to the next adventure.
Another great video! Thanks Pat.
@@sxkinetics thanks. I saw your post that something happened to your Defender? I hope everything works out!
Hello, how are you doing? I was wondering if by any chances with your connexions you can help me get a spot for two weeks in marina di ragusa? Thanks laura
we just spoke to someone who got offered a spot yesterday but they were probably on a waiting list. Not much I can do, we don't really know anyone high up there :)
_Elysium… Elysium, I call upon thee_
End of an era! Well done =D Lots of adventures.... I wonder what's next!!
謝謝你的分享！❤ 我非常喜歡！ 你們終於完成了你們的夢想！祝福你們幸福快樂健康！ 觀迎你們回家！
Great video Pat! Well done on the Tuna!! Look forward to seeing you all soon!
Great video Pat! Well done on the Tuna!! Look forward to seeing you all soon!
@@KeepKoolsailingadventures hey there! Thanks! Sorry I haven't commented much, I don't get on FB often. Can't wait to see all of you guys soon 😀
Can't wait for the spain video!
I need AotGB merch!
You’re getting better at editing! The French clips are hilarious
Do u need a processional TH-cam thumbnails designer and video SEO expert?
When I worked for too much, I always wanted to join your journey immediately haha~
@user-il5bb6du1j work to retire early and you will do it soon enough 😀
People who came from ROK: 👇
lol nice! ROK Rocks!
Hi I found this very interesting. Good and real. The reality of eating in high end restaurant s etc. Is important to know what to expect. Good to know if you are being ripped off or that is the rate... I love Sardinia have been there a few times but many years ago and looking forward to cruising there one day but is tree expensive. Bon sailing.
I like your content but the music not so much. Too loud and techno just doesn’t fit.
Yes I didn't realize how loud it was and I should have chosen better music. I will improve for the next one:)
Amazing video my friend 🤩 hope to catch you again soon in south of France ⛵️🥰 enjoy Elba
You are making so much progress. Well done and nice video 😊
Great video Pat 😊
❤
That was fun again Pat. Except for the code 0 part 😱 Scary! Hey I do see lots of kiting potential there.. how exciting =) Hmm next time are we going to see what happened at the beach in the last few seconds??
No, it was just a very funny thing I taped. Alicia was mad at me for not paying attention to a wave that came and swept away our shoes. I thought my facial expression was really funny so I wanted to make a GIF of it and I'm thinking of adding it to all my videos at the end 😆
Hahaha yep we were wondering 😂😂 that was funny
Hi Pat, Great video. Enjoy.
Great adventures!! We saw a snake!! You leave us hanging for next week, that would have hurt 😫
Buy Silver,PLATINUM,& Crystalized Osmium BYOB
Another awesome video Pat 😊
Another great video Pat. Thanks for sharing 🙏
Hi Pat, Great video! It looks like you guys are really enjoying the adventure.
Hi Steve, always great to hear from you :) I was just thinking the other day... what a shame Ucore didn't talk to me, there's so much RapidSX could have done *sigh*
That's not a boat, that's a condo.
True true lol, we often refer to it as our floating condo :) The real advantage to this lifestyle is that if you don't like your view or your neighbors, you can simply pick up anchor and move 😀
@@AdventuresofTheGreatBanana lol I was just busten chops....nice content and well put together. :)
Hey Pat, amazing your on your way!! Good you got to try lots of different sail configs and then for the second half of the crossing some awesome speeds! Hope you are loving Sardinia, we're on a road trip in Tunisia now, Roxy has been out of the water but about to go back in 🥳
Hi Wil! It is not often you can say you have met a friend for life and i truly believe that in our case. We can't wait to see you guys in Spain!
Great video Pat. Well done, you and Alicja are a great team now. It was a pleasure meeting and spending time with you in Marina di Ragusa. Fair winds ⛵️
Awww love this video Pat 🥰 we have really loved getting to know you guys!
I am never going to sail... the seasickness will have me in less than a minute. But it's still fascinating to see the yachting life! I hope everything's well with you. Happy Easter!
Seriously, don't let seasickness stop you. I get extremely seasick, just ask my friends about fishing in Florida :p ... I get seasick while taking a bath. The scopalmine patches work amazing and there are so many other types of medicine that one is bound to help. I have 3 other types I have yet to try. Your body only needs a few days to adjust to the waves so find the right medicine for a few days and you'll be good to go. I'm still using the same scopalmine patch I started with and I'm on it's 4th application. I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to work like this but I tell myself it's working and the placebo effect seems real :)
It's so nice to have family visit! It looks like you guys have fun (Ok, seasickness not-withstanding.) And congrats on sailing on your own!!
Hi, Mark from Detroit, can I ask what patch you used for sea sickness?
Hi Mark! It's scoplamine and I asked someone to get it for me since it's no longer sold in Canada
Hi. This is Andrzej from Toronto. John friend. It's nice to see how you changed your life. I like watching your videos. Best regards and Happy Easter.
Andrzej! Nice to hear from you. Happy Easter! 😊
Amazing, you did a lot with the family visit!! Time to enjoy the sailing season soon!!
That was fun! 100+ subs too! =) Looking forward to seeing the boat back again soon!
Great episode!
Boy, you scared me! I thought the boat was gone for some nefarious reason! I hope you'll get it back safe and sound and even better than before! Thanks for the update on Noto, he's looking great! (Sorry to hear about the camera, though.)
Noto is such an amazing dog. Every time we see him, we give thanks for the joy he has brought everyone and we are thankful we could help him. I shudder to think of how he probably would have died this winter because there would have been no one visiting the park that we found him in. I'm sure he was dependent on the few scraps people might have given him.
