Hi Aussies. Borax powder mixed with either sugar or icing sugar will do the trick, place it in a small dish, it dries them out and they die. You could try honey as well. Spare screw. Baz I am sure you meant 10 spare screws. I know you can`t carry spares of everything on the boat but if one has fallen out you may be about to lose others, Oh and Lock Tite / Stud Lock to put them back in with. Smooth Seas to You both. David.
Hi David, yes I used to use that mix in Aus. I haven't seen Borax here, and also I wasn't sure about the small dishes rolling around the deck, which is why we went for the baits! But yes, that mix works very well.
And open it has with a bang and it is so busy that some of us have gone back to home base to sit out high season. Nice area Göcek, Fethiye, Gemiler when you can find a spot to anchor Safely.
We're currently in Kusadasi marina, it's really nice and very quiet. We are very impressed with everything here. The pool is perfect in these hot days. 😀👍
Nice Video 🙂 been reading about the Wildfires in turkey, hope you are both safe from them. Of course if it does get smokey where you are , you already have face masks...... Fair Winds 😎
Where we currently are there are no fires, however we will be visiting some of the affected areas on our way back to Kas.The day temperatures have been crazy hot for the last little while.
Very nice videos. I just started watching a few of them. Suggestion of what I like would be more time spent just looking at the area you are going through and getting a feel for what it might be like to gaze at the water and the land as you travel, especially with the sails up. I do enjoy the relaxed style and banter and attitude you both have. Thank you so much for bringing me along.

@@SailingABSea Yes, even in Norway we have had one month with heat and no rain, so the danger of wild fire is big. Just reading there might be a pyromania problem, In the Antalya there are a lot of Norwegian summer house. And therefore some roomers. So don’t quote me on that ☺️
@@SailingABSea It’s serious. But as soon as I saw part of your message on my phone. I knew I had misspelled rumors 😅😂😇 Thanks for understanding 😊 Fair winds
@7:42 No Captain will ever admit that he doesn't know where he is. He may concede to being "temporarily unsure of his position" but that's the best you're ever going to get.
There is a nice anchorage just outside the channel you came through only about 1 mile to the west… I have been in there a couple of times when Gocek was too full.
@@SailingABSea its called Ragged Bay and its just North Of Kucuk Kuyruk. The cove behind the islet is the best spot. You can anchor and take a line ashore to the rocks. Not great if there is a swell though.
Firstly I need to Express the love we feel for you 2. We've absolutely binged your channel since finding it and have loved every minute. "Get baz and ansh stuck on" as soon as I get home from work lol. We have our comp crew course booked in Southampton in november and we want to know what those shoes you really rated that time in Greece were? Lastly we are thinking of chartering a boat in the med as we are too young and poor to give up work and sail there from the uk. Is there a country that is reasonably priced for bare boat charter that you would recommend. Lastly I want to thank you both for your content, we love every minute of it! "Time for a beer" xx
Hi Chris, thank you for watching and becoming a subscriber, we appreciate it. 👍 The white soled deck shoes we love are from the Decathlon store, we've been wearing them from day 1 and still love them. The comp crew course is great for literally learning the ropes. Once you've completed day skipper, get yourselves an ICC and you can charter anywhere. You may want to consider chartering with a flotilla as your first option, that way you'll have experienced people to show you the difficult bits, like parking. 😀 As to recommending a place to charter, that's difficult at the moment with all of the traffic lights changing colour every 30 seconds. Greece or Turkey are great learning grounds. Here's a link to the shoes. These are the ones we currently wear: www.decathlon.co.uk/p/adult-aquashoes-snk-120/_/R-p-169796?mc=8491519&c=TURQUOISE_BLUE Having said that, there is a new design which we may try next time: www.decathlon.co.uk/p/500-women-s-aquashoes/_/R-p-2653?mc=8578993&c=TURQUOISE_BLUE Cheers, Baz & Aannsha.
The hot weather has been here for more than a week now. So far we have not seen any fires along the shoreline. We believe most of the fires are now out or under control.
Ironically - I can't sleep tonight either - 3:39 AM where I am - and now I'm spending time with you. I hate ants - and am not convinced that the tricky ant food boron solution is a real solution.
In the 3.5 years we've owned her we've put 746 hours on the engine. We're actually looking forward to heading back to Kas and having the wind behind us.
:) FOOT Note Baz put some Diesel in a Spray pump and spray the ants with it or where you see them going in to there Ship :) will kill them fast. I do this in Thailand for the red Ants here . never to be seen again lol.

Good tips there David, thanks for sharing. We'll redo all the screws with locktite. 👍

Nice again… Thanks for the ants part … Great dramatization 😂🤣😂
Glad you enjoyed it mate. 😀
Very enjoyable watching this from a gloomy overcast London about to rain.. thank you both
It's certainly been very wet in lots of areas this year. Keep your wellies handy. 👢
And open it has with a bang and it is so busy that some of us have gone back to home base to sit out high season. Nice area Göcek, Fethiye, Gemiler when you can find a spot to anchor Safely.
We're currently in Kusadasi marina, it's really nice and very quiet. We are very impressed with everything here. The pool is perfect in these hot days. 😀👍
Have been contemplating heading in that direction and thanks for the info.

Kusadasi will not disappoint, that's guaranteed. 👍

Hi LTTP, we'll try and incorporate a bit more of what you've suggested in future videos. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
Having the Queen ant’s nest inside of the door, does that mean you have to check the core of that door panel to see how much damage was done?
Hi Bayani, there was no evidence of any boring out by the ants and the door is just cosmetic so we don't need to check the core. 👍

"hair spray and a cigarette lighter" might be a tad risky on a plastic boat. 🔥 🙁
The skipper might not know where he is but the admiral always does
(Baz) 😂
I had small cockroaches. I tried everything and they still survived. Eventually I put down bait traps like you did and that wiped them out in a week
Any insect with the ability to fly is a potential problem for a boat. Cockroaches are disgusting creatures.
Those baits look too simple to be effective, but they work very well!
@@SailingABSea yup my nemesis 🙄
I thought it was a big wild fire close to that spot now?
But of course it hasn't started yet when you are filming.
Stay safe

We walked past a bar/restaurant today in Kusadasi called Roomers. Coincidence. 👍

(Baz) "temporarily unsure of his position" I'm definitely going to be using that phrase from now on. 😀👍
@@SailingABSea LOL

Is it called Kucuk Kuyruk?

Thanks Petyr, we've just marked it on Google Earth for future reference. 👍
@@SailingABSea great. I am hoping to be out in Gocek end of September but sadly still on red list…..
Hello, when you plan to chance anchor, try Ultra. Possibly 16kg will be ok.
We have seen a lot of boats with Ultra anchors. They are a very well designed anchor and they set very easily. 👍

@@SailingABSea that's great. Thank you for the links and all the info. Very much appreciated
Have u seen the fires? And apparently so really hot weather coming
The hot weather has been here for more than a week now. So far we have not seen any fires along the shoreline. We believe most of the fires are now out or under control.
@@SailingABSea saw the news with people being evacuated and using yachts to help from bodrum and mamaris
We are currently north of Marmaris and Bodrum, we are at Kusadasi.
Ironically - I can't sleep tonight either - 3:39 AM where I am - and now I'm spending time with you. I hate ants - and am not convinced that the tricky ant food boron solution is a real solution.
Binge watch from episode #001 Murray, that will help pass the time on a sleepless night. 👍
@@SailingABSea - Your witty comment elicited a verbal chuckle from me. Some of the voices on TH-cam do put me to sleep in seconds.
Nice edit guys. How many hours do you put on the engine every month ?
In the 3.5 years we've owned her we've put 746 hours on the engine. We're actually looking forward to heading back to Kas and having the wind behind us.
Have you been able to get vaccinated in Turkey? Ie do you want to and can you as expats with residence permits?
Temporary Turkish residents are offered the jab at local hospitals.
@@SailingABSea will you both be getting vaccinated soon?
:) FOOT Note Baz put some Diesel in a Spray pump and spray the ants with it or where you see them going in to there Ship :) will kill them fast. I do this in Thailand for the red Ants here . never to be seen again lol.
That's a top tip, thanks Maurice. 👍
Absolute rubbish, I have sailed this area for 5 years and there are so many anchoring , swinging bays etc.
