Island Hopping and Dodging Storms - Sailing Helios S02E28
As summer fades, the weather is shifting rapidly as often happens in Spring, but this year, sea temperatures are 4 to 6 degrees warmer than usual, and that has created highly unstable conditions, sometimes with tragic consequences. We’re still enjoying the lovely sailing conditions, but taking no chances as we island-hop up the Ionian Sea, finding shelter whenever strong afternoon winds pick up

Review of our first year sailing the Med - Sailing Helios S01E35
Ok, just starting #10, but it's 2:30 am...I've got to get some sleep. I love how you handled the grounding. Every experience is a learning experience. I'm exhausted.
on to episode 8. I just read the title....run aground, for heaven's sake, I'm not sure my heart can take it.
OMG, so...I've started at the beginning after first jumping around a bit in season 2....and I've just watched the first 6 episodes. It's nearly 2am on Christmas night, or...I guess the 26th of December 2024 now...and I can't stop. Shake down cruise coming up and the tease looks treacherous. I sincerely hope your shake down cruise wasn't in 25 knot winds with 2 meter seas....lol. I nearly choked up at the 10 minute mark of episode 6 when you announced for the first time that you were sailing...How wonderful. I'll never be able to sleep if I don't watch a couple more.
Great video as usual and the “eye” on your bridle is called a thimble. 😊
Merry Christmas 🥰😍🥰
Merry Christmas to you too! Hope you're having a wonderful one.
Hello Jude and Richard. Thanks for sharing your journey with us all. A couple of questions:- how did you come up with the name Helios? How did you decide on the logo? All the best Richard 🇬🇧👍❤️ SV Zonda
Hi Richard, we met in January 2020 and both had children at home so remained living separately (at some distance from each other). So we only got together on weekends at a little cabin I had at a nudist club just out of Melbourne. It’s where we spent every weekend and holiday. It was our paradise in a beautiful natural setting. It’s where we fell in love. The club is called Helios. The logo? We used Fivr and put in lots of descriptors for the feel we wanted. We got lots to choose from and just liked the simplicity of it. Very happy.
Goi your speedos on lol
Well you won’t the wet T shirt contest.well done 😂❤
0:32, 8:32, 9:27 we salute you
Such a dream destination 😮❤
Yeah. We almost have to pinch ourselves because it’s more than we’ve dreamed of.
12.23.24 Great video!! Thanks for including the right of way incident. That was an eye opener.
Thanks! I'm glad you found that part interesting. It’s important to avoid collision of course, but in this instance we don’t believe our first option should be to get out of their way - as Richard explained. If we hadn’t alerted them they may have hit the island.
Richard e Jude, bom acompanhar suas aventuras no meu Lap top . Jude vc é bastante exitante...Valeu..
😍😍 Gorgeous!
keep the sexy lady coming
Italians are really cozy and welcoming. 🎉
Love your asymmetrical one-piece! Incredibly flattering! Also, lots of credit to Thea and Mario for figuring out the sizing for your t-shirts! Not the easiest 'geometry' to perfectly accentuate your amazing curves!
Thank you!!That swimsuit is beautiful. I should wear it more. 😊👍
Jude, love your smile! I bet your former colleagues and friends are quite surprised at your life now!
Thanks! I have a big smile because I’m so happy 😁. I certainly got some worried responses when they heard of my plans. Such a big change. But they knew I’m brave and strong and will be fine. And what a life I have now. I’m so lucky.
@@sailinghelios2023 You, and your man Richard, are beautifully bold! I envy him, honestly. Please be careful in bad weather, and a Merry Christmas to you both! I am of the same age as you, and I find you two remarkable.
Inspirational even…
At this age, no less- to throw away Security, for Adventure. I applaud you both.
It's critical Jude feels comfortable at the helm, and she was/is amazing! She has a great teacher! Just have to remember to keep your shoulders clean/dry 😊.
Hah! Your shoulder comment took me a minute to get 😂😂😂.
You make your bikini's look so hot !!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊 And great sailing video to very informative and the places you travel great to see them
Hi Guys The journey along the Corinth Canal took me back to the early 80's when we stopped on the bridge going over the Canal and looked down surprised me the narrow distance on both sides when a cruise liner went through. Great video. Regards Crawford
Thanks Crawford. It felt very narrow in our boat so I just can imagine how the get a big boat through without touching the sides.
What brand and model is that beautiful bikini you’re wearing? Fits so good.
Thanks! I do have quite a few bikinis. Do you mean the red pair with little golden dolphin charms? That’s a Lisa Blue set - a swimwear designer I went to school with.
Hi! I have a dream - to sail around the world with my dog and experience life on the open sea. But there's one thing I’m missing - a sailboat. I can’t afford one, but I truly believe that with the right boat, my dog and I could create unforgettable memories, exploring new places together. If you have a yacht you no longer use or need, I’d be forever grateful if you could consider giving it to us. We promise to care for it and it would mean the world to us. Thank you for reading!
Excellent title pic !!
When the outboard is not being used and needs to be tilted up out of the water, so the barnacles don’t plug up the water jacket also it’ll create less drag being towed
You should start an OF lol.
Not our thing, but we do have other content that doesn’t meet TH-cam’s dress code. It’s more of a naturist vibe. Check out naturally.sailinghelios.com. Or our website www.sailinghelios.com
❤❤❤❤ όμορφα βιτεο😊
Great to see two people who like each other so much. Not sure how a simple grey dress could look so amazing. Must be the belt 😉.
Thank you! Yes, we found each other later in life and are making the most of a beautiful relationship. Yeah, it’s the belt. You’re right - an awesome belt will make any simple dress look fab 😉.
What a load of codswallop. Here’s the gig, never click on a “sailing video” when you see some old boot in a bikini or lack of one-I should’ve known better. Zero sailing content, I’m just happy I only spent 10 seconds flipping through this b--
Wonderful
che corpo magnifico la signora
Dear Jude , I admire your overwhelmingly beautiful body shape behind the wheel). You were born to wear bikiny! Christmas time is near - I wish you to keep growing into such a lovely princess with the voice of the Goddess.
That’s so kind of you to say. Merry Christmas!
Greetings from sunny Ta'Xbiex, Malta.
We always used “fixed bearing” to detect and avoid collision.
Yes, this is a good method and we use this all the time, even with the AIS. We especially use this with large ships to track them from a long way off when we are on passage but it is a great method to eye-ball boats that are close.
😀😀😀👍👍👍❤❤❤
Perfect views all around! Thanks you two!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Arguably one of the best sailing channels on TH-cam. Your technical content is really educational and very thorough. Great footage,sound and visual clarity - so well done! ❤
Thank you for the kind words - we appreciate it!
Being in the right is not necessarily the right thing to do. As a motorcyclist (and a sailor) I knew many guys who were hospital with broken legs who were not at all comforted by the fact that they were in the right when a car pulled out on them. My view is that you just stay out of everyone’s way by making a very small alteration of course (or speed if under engine) long before it becomes time to worry about a risk of collision.
Hi, could not agree more, avoiding the situation is always the best rather than relying on the other person to do the right thing. In this situation we were hard on the wind and had an island to leeward so the options were not good to easily avoid. It is not clear in the video but we turned on the motor and after signaling we then turned hard to starboard to avoid a collision and only after they jumped up from below and reduced their speed could we resume our course. I am sure if I had not alerted them they would have hit the island. So glad you are enjoying the channel. Regards Jude and Richard
I think my wife and I should do this, I was born in the water. But I can't get her past the lagoon.
Keep trying. We meet lots of couples out here having the times of their lives.
Best wishes. Christmas greetings to you.
Thank you and Christmas greetings
Excellent yachting content and visuals. One of you best to date, for sure.
Wow, thank you
Regarding Jude's explanation of the right of way rules, first rule is to avoid collision. I always assume the other vessel will do the wrong thing and so always just keep clear. If you are racing its different, but a collision while cruising can spoil you whole day. - Love your channel - have cruised a bit around Malta, Italy Greece Turkey - brings back fab memories. Keep having fun.
