OK- Since I’m a newbie to your channel, gotta say that was the most entertaining recount of your harrowing night in Albania- You both are very funny story tellers and you had me laughing out loud several times during the EP. Continued success as you carry on. Fair Winds.
That is how my life runs, humor is it, because that is how this short beautiful life goes it seems. What an adventure though! Better days ahead! Fair Winds!
I for one am very glad you didn't hook an old mine with you anchor,couldn't think about the Captain and Xanthe being blown to bits😔 Successful clear into Greece, now you're going to have a run of good luck 👍😊
I been a little worried about you two, big storm in the Med hitting Greece now and y'all are the only channel I follow that's in the Med. Nice job of getting through your first night crossing in a storm!!! That's how you do it. You'll be masters of sea in no time. Best of luck Avalon, be safe.
Here was me thinking, 'Jackson really ought'a be the Aussie gentleman and fetch that bottle', but once more in this life I was completely wrong! Good vids guys. I'm looking forward to following your adventures.
Everything happens for reasons that we wouldn't ever expect but are necessary in The Divine Plan. No great sailors ever came from always having perfect conditions with everything going their way. You are definitely entitled to squawk when your feathers get ruffled though. It may seem unreasonable when challenged but more times than not there are valuable gifts in the difficulty that can only come to you in this way. 'Wishing loving blessings to sooth your reactions and restore the joy in being you.
I like that you reflected on the possible predicament of losing electricity would mean the inability to navigate. Technology is replacing the skills that sailors normally developed without it. The advantages of technology can put you in situations that are extreme when it fails. Stay tuned into the roots of sailing where exceptional people developed strengths and skills that could be relied on once seasoned in experience. I spent 8 years on a full keel wooden sloop with no motor or electronics and a strong calling to live the sailing life on the ocean. So many amazing experiences happened because i had to rely on what i could do with what the angels of air would provide.
Any thing at sea that scares the shit out of you that you live through with your boat more or less in tact serves to make you a better sailor for next time and there will be a next time so glad you made it sail on
Just curious, what do you use for your weather forecasting? Nice video. You guys don't have bad luck - they are challenges! Remember that. ;-) Thanks for sharing.
OMG. 6:20 "Oh shut up, I was there for a moment and then I thought this is so Clementine..." Me in Florida: Did she just use "Clementine" as an adjective and wasn't talking about a citrus fruit??? *nearly breaks thumb trying to google the actual definition of "clementine"* This is my new favorite adjective.
a hint if coming into a bad electrical storm take the battery terminals off the battery , might save ALL of your electronics ,lock the wheel off at angher , stops wear & tear on the gear, U did well 40 on the nose isnt pleasant - enjoy , life is not a rehearsal.
I suggest not towing the dink in open water, get it up on deck. It will flip or fill with water, get loose, etc. I see you removed the outboard at least.
LMAO! 'Oh, let's not be pansies, shake out a reef and sail straight In!' At least you didn't Blow Up in the Minefield, LOL! And THEN she breaks the key off, hahahahahaha! You DO Realize that when you're both 40 with Kids, you're going to have KICK-ASS Stories to tell them, don't you? LMAO!
Never grow up ?? Dodging jinxes, mines, swells, illegal entry and port authorities seems like way too much fun to even try! Royal Britannia and all that (and ozzy of course) x
only 2500 miles of headwinds to the canaries,better get used to trying conditions!,it gets better after leaving the canaries with following seas and trade winds from behind.
Your videos just keep getting better and better! Captain Jackson sure knows how to keep his crew in check.

Glad you guys are safe! Those mediterranean squalls can be scary. Best wishes to you both 💙
You two are real characters. Enjoying your videos and will continue to follow your adventures.
One of the joys of wood boats you look forward to storms. They are good excuse not to sand and varnish.
Lucky us...lol glad everything worked out,now have fun in Greece
I for one am very glad you didn't hook an old mine with you anchor,couldn't think about the Captain and Xanthe being blown to bits😔

He actually couldn't have been more Aussie than that! :)

I like watching your VLOG, something else you should know is owning a boat means you are always fixing things in exotic places.

Great video. Remember black clouds that follow are just testing you to see how bad you want to accomplish something.
I got curious how you managed to enter the boat after having the key broken... Stay safe and happy.

Aim is to get some sailing stories remotely as good as Jackson’s granddad’s ones!
Nice one guys, but.... courtesy flag goes stbd side! Greece can be rather pickey about that...

I think she is better looking than Elana from La Vag...
only 2500 miles of headwinds to the canaries,better get used to trying conditions!,it gets better after leaving the canaries with following seas and trade winds from behind.
Türkiye ye de uğrayın Göçek e gelin kesinlikle 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Suggest you add about 2 minutes to vids to show a little more of scenery & places you visit… right amount of focus on you guys. 👍🏻
One more… auto pilot?
