I just like to praise you for your honesty and openness about the fuel situation, all voters need to be reminded to follow the plan and good practice. It’s classy of you. 👌🏾
Such a shame this was such a short video. I know there are others in the series and I am off to watch them but I could have happily watched this story unfold over a few hours of video. Thanks for posting.
That black Sunseeker, Hooligan, was moored in Ocean Village and then East Cowes Marina last year. Great videos John, and made me pleased I've also bought a V39 :)
+Jim Herbert Thanks Jim. I'm sure you will enjoy your V39. Fantastic boats! There is a small Facebook group of owners that might interest you if you are not yet a member - good way for us all to exchange tips and experiences - facebook.com/groups/princessv39/
+jbss7382 Hey, sorry to have missed your post! We are running on 2 x Volvo Penta D6-300s. And thanks for the comment on the vlogs. Got another adventure planned for next year, but I'd best leave it to MBY to announce...! Cheers, and have a great Christmas!
Looking forward to some more of these. Would be interesting to have details about fuel consumption during various legs. How was the sleeping. Lovely boat. How do you like the IPS drives, and do they require a lot of servicing / maintenance (especially during / after such a long journey). Please post some more soon.
+Bob Preston Hi Bob, I think MBY will be publishing the fuel figures - if they don't then remind me at the end of the series and I'll put them up here.
+John Boyle Sleeping was great and comfortable. There were different combinations of us for different legs of the trip, and it always worked. Perhaps the best thing was the shower! Better than mine at home!

Nice one John - always a must watch!
Living the best life
Great video what a nice boat
Nice video sir! May i ask how much fuel you used on this trip?
A very interesting and inspirational video - thank you.
+Charlie Baker-Collingwood Thanks Charlie.
Nice Vlog, I would've liked it a bit longer and be nice to touch on cruising speed and fuel consumption, but that's because I love stats...
So glad your back John Boyle. The vlogs are superb!!!
Great choice of boat too. What engines is she running and what set up??

+John Boyle
Fantastic John great news! You you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and sailors' booze filled new year👍☺️😊
Nice one John, looking forward to the rest of the series! Will this boat need spare fan-belts??-)
Would it be possible to motor boat from Barcelona to Athens? if yes, how many hours would that take?
Could you have gone from Palma to port la nouvelle, in France, then through the canal du midi, Toulouse, Bordeaux and into the Atlantic at Royan?
Hi John,
It would be interesting to know what engines the boat has and how much fuel it has used, with the engine hours.
Terry
+John Stanley Answers above Terry... boat had just 100 engine hours when I bought her, so barely run in!
It's been a while, but I don't remember Calpe harbour looking like that.
Молодцы ребята!

When's the next leg?
+Harrison Richards It's online now > th-cam.com/video/gVE-pM0kB5M/w-d-xo.html Enjoy!
My greatest fear... running out of fuel in the middle of the ocean far from land.
I got seasick watching vid.
