Awww - thanks for watching and yes, it was our biggest investment yet and one that we hope will see us through our full tenure on Galene 🤞🏻. We had heard from a couple of Sharki owners about their chain plates failing, but was still shocked to see ours was on the brink of doing the same, it’s given us a prompt to inspect things more frequently! 🧐🤗

Thanks for watching friend! I think Pete has missed his calling 😉🤣

Thanks guys - you’re always so encouraging and we appreciate it 🙏🏻. We’re about to cross the Atlantic on our friend’s boat, hoping for some free time to catch up on video editing 😉. Looking forward to getting back on our Galene in the Spring ⛵️☺️

Thanks friends - we can’t wait to share our life on the water with you in person, we’ll be waiting when you’re ready 😘🤗

Thanks so much for the words of encouragement Rob & Karen 🤗. Been finding it hard to get motivated again because just as we thought we could settle into cruising life we started having engine problems. I’ve been wondering whether to just let the channel go, but hearing your approach and given I particularly enjoy the creative process, I’m going to pull out the laptop today and see if I can make an sense of all the footage we have from last year ☺️⛵️📷

Hi there - we filmed a lot of the work but the videos won’t be out until later this year. If there’s something specific you have a question on relating to new headliner, boat painting etc, feel free to message us by FB Messenger or email ‘sailwiththegales@gmail.com’ and we’re happy to share info, photos etc. Thanks for following 👍🏻

@@sailwiththegales thanks for the offer! We have time, at the moment all the lining mostly still sticks where it should. But as it is- it will come in future. And we first have to get our engine running. Seems to be extremely broken 😞

@hafenkinoblog yes, the engine is a must even with your lovely RT sails. Wishing you good luck, we definitely can’t offer any help when it comes to engines but will follow your progress.

@@sailwiththegales thanks 🙏

Thanks guys….slowly but surely getting our head back in the game. Let’s just say we might see you on the other side of the pond, but Galene will be wintering in Samos again 😉

@@sailwiththegales Awwwww exciting 😉🥰

Thanks for your kind words of encouragement 🙏🏻. We are trying ⛵️☺️

Awww - always lovely to hear from you Cynthia. Hope you and Fritz are enjoying a lovely BC summer 🤗🤗

Thanks for watching….! Longer terms plans - hmmm 🤔. Learn to sail 😉

Hi Mattius - great to hear from you, did you break all speed records reaching Ormos?! 😉 Wrists are improving 👍🏻. Hope to be tapping away on the keyboard again real soon. We’ll touch base when we check back into Greece and see where you and Helga are at that time ⛵️⛵️

LOL - we just got out of the boatyard after 2 months doing more upgrades. Another mad dash to Turkey currently underway ⛵️😂. Will get back to regular editing soon, thanks for sticking with us 👍🏻

Awww - thanks, we try, not too hard due to all the boatyard work, but we try 😉

Too funny - can’t wait but hope you want at the wheel like me 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thanks Nick, glad you enjoyed it and hope you see dolphins en route too! 🐬⛵️ Fair winds!

Thanks guys- we actually had a bit of real life footage to make an intro for the 2nd season 🤣. This all happened summer of 2023 but we’re planning to revisit most of it again this year (except the turtles ! 🫣). Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

LOL - thanks for watching Cynthia and don’t worry, we came through the pirate experience unscathed 😉

….that’s what happens when I remove the paper painting coveralls Trev 😉🤣

@@sailwiththegales yeah ya gotta watch that sun, i wanted to make a bigger topic about it when young Steve from Cordelia had his scare, one of them topics people don’t want to really think could happen, Luckily for me I’m from dark skinned decent although that doesn’t guarantee much, i tend to brown up, but Wendy my wife? She burns under a light bulb 😂

Hey there - thanks for tuning in! 👍🏻

Good luck with the paint job and hope your shake out sail went well! ⛵️

Hi there - it’s 60 litres. When we bought her there was a 80 litre tank in the V-berth (with expensive macerator pump) but it didn’t work/empty properly. We had the new one installed and it empties by gravity and works great. Also a “pump out” connection installed on deck which was a requirement for sailing in Turkey last year 😊

Thanks so much, that’s valuable feedback for us! Love your logo btw 😊

@@sailwiththegales Been watching 6-7 more episodes now and don’t understand why you don’t have more views. Good stuff and so nice to see the great vibe between the two of you☺️ Maybe our paths will cross in Croatia this summer? Chartering a boat there for four weeks (third consecutive year for us down there now, just love it so much☺️) and yes we kind of like our logo🙏☺️

@sailingwyn Thanks so much, feel free to promote us 😉 You are going to absolutely LOVE Croatia.🇭🇷 Unfortunately now that it’s part of the Schengen visa program we won’t be going back. That said we spent 8 weeks there in 2022 (we made a few episodes in Season One about it). If you want any tips or have questions don’t hesitate. Happy Sailing ⛵️

Yes, classic Amel feature. Although it took a few cracks of the head in the beginning to remember to slide the top cover back after dropping the door on our way out 🤦🏻‍♀️

💯agree - nothing goes down our new loo unless its been eaten first 😉

Awww thanks for the sub and yes, it was a perfect seat to sit and ponder life “the thinker” pose! 🤣

Hi John - thanks for tuning in and glad you liked it. We’re currently in Samos Boatyard. Splashing first week of May and making our way down to check out of Symi by June 9th latest. What’s the name of your Maramu, we’ll look out for you. Were on No Foreign Land btw ⛵️

@@sailwiththegales I'll pm you

Thanks for watching and your encouragement. Spent ages trying to get the audio right and glad it sounded right 👍🏻

Thanks for tuning in mate!

Oh yes, our happy place 😍

It’s a fickle platform that’s for sure….glad you found your way back to us 👍🏻⛵️

Was going to say, i think BA is around there, i remember you going through that cut..

He’s back on the other side at the moment woodworking away, hopefully we’ll “ketch” up at some point ⛵️😂⛵️

Thanks Ian - we’re back to boat work now, like you 🛠️

Oh boy! I can’t escape you guys 🤗.

@@trevhedges Haha! We love Pete & Deb and hope they will catch up with us the Caribbean sometime soon ⛵😊

Thanks for watching and as always your encouragement, we’re constantly facing our fears but feeling alive. One day we’ll grow up to be chill cruisers like you 😉

Glad you’re enjoying the voyage Cynthia and thanks for following/ encouraging us 😊⛵️

Thanks so much….its a learning curve for sure, never a dull moment! 😉 Appreciate you taking the time to leave some words of encouragement 😊

Thanks Ian!

Hey there - thanks for the words of encouragement and that is interesting about Navily, wish we had it in our backpacking days 😉. Pete was making a note of answers to the questions he expected the bridge to ask us when we asked permission to transit. He’s like a deer in headlights in the VHF 🫣, as you know it can be hard to understand accents, so he likes to be prepared 🤓⛵️😊

Thanks guys - the more time that passes the less it matters, although we’re just in the boatyard gearing up to repair it so there will probably be some more cussing 🤬 😉⛵️

Awww - thanks for your kind words, really appreciate it 🙏🏻

I hope we have a chance to go back to Vhilo and Lefkas, we didn’t even have time to get off the boat. I bet you had lots of good times in the area, it’s beautiful! ⛵️

How exciting for you guys! The Ionian is such a beautiful sailing (motoring!) region! Glad you find our content useful and yes, the premium Navily subscription pays for itself in terms of keeping us out of trouble, mostly 😉⛵️ Thanks so much for watching ☺️

Thank you so much 😀

Thanks! We hope that each year the time in the yard will become less and less 🤞🏻😉

Thanks guys - we’re hoping it’s an investment of our time that will pay off after this year 🤞🏻

Thanks so much - we’re discovering it’s an ongoing project but at least we are getting some sailing in now too 😉⛵️

Thanks man- that means a lot! ☺️
