Next time you must learn to release the windlass so the anchor chain goes down much faster. It's the only way!!!

Beautiful

Much better times than today. Makes a much clearer picture of how crazy our world has become!

Fair play to you for showing the mooring fail as well as the successes. Looks like a great trip.

Nice video

Thanks for the video and the route map, I've sailed that area many times, but haven't done that route. A couple of tips for others watching (as I'm sure you don't need this tip 9 years later). Get in the habit of throwing windward line first. Once that is secure you are basically safe. If you need to muscle the bow round, with the windward attached you can "dutch sprong" with forward drive and helm to wind to pull you up wind and stop you parking on your neighbour.

Well done guys

Harbor maneuvers such as docking in swimming trunks are a no-go!

What a new manoeuvring style!!! One is helming with his back to helm whilst the other one keeps the throttle. How the helmsman can maintain a steerage ???

Never been to Greece but I have a question: i have not seen nor fresh water supply nor electricity on those docks, so what's actually the point in mooring in places without lazy lines, with all the risks and concerns, Just to have noisy neighbor around? Isn't Better to stay at bay?

Dead roasted meat at 7:52. The poor men! But today's women can't even cook anymore! Therefore the men are forced to drink more beer.

Thanks for the video. What sighseen would you recommend ashore during your journey?

Its a braai, not a barbecue!,

Name of the song at the end of the video?

Who goes anticlockwise through the cyclades?

Great video that we have embedded it in our site so that customers can get an insight into Yacht Charter Turkey (Marmaris, Gocek, Bodrum and Fethiye) www.european-yacht-charters.com/destinations/mediterranean/turkey/

As a skipper I find it especially frustrating to assist with the mooring, when a see a bunch of shirtless pseudo-sailors.

Hä was isr das

Your flag is on the wrong side.

Love the narration.

Fantastic video!!! A great route around possibly the most beautiful sailing country in the world! Can't wait to lose some anchors around the islands there!!

Great video! Congrats!

What charter company did you use please? And did you have a good experience with them?

Catamaran Impi? your voice is familiar

It sounds like Patmos is the place to cross paths with John the Revelator. Nice narration.

Good video, how not to do it! 1. Please guys, bevor you enter a harbour, dress a shirt. I don't know if in south Africa is usual to be undressed. But in Europa it is not! That's a very bad seamanship and disrespectful for the people in the harbour. It testifies a bad education. :-( 2. This docking are under the lightest conditions. Stern-to against the wind. No problem for absolute beginners! ;-) 3. If your job is to manage the stern line on starboard, be more concentrate in what you are doing. You overlooked the knot in the middle of your sternline! This little things may cause big trouble during the docking of your vessel. ;-) 4. You was totally wrong with your south African flag! Question: In which country you was sailing in this video? South Africa?????? I suppose you was sailing in Greece, isn't it? And you was sailing with a greek charterboot, right? Which has a Greek flag at the stern? Correct? Now, if you want to hint your nationality with the south African flag, the right position is on portside! NOT starboard!!! The only reason to set a country flag on starboard is during the VISIT of this country with a vessel another nationality. Example: When I visit Cape Town with my own Vessel - German flag at the stern (German nationality), I will set the south African flag on starboard, to show my Respect for your country. Further I pay attention that the south African flag is above my German flag. This has something to do with respect and good seamanship! I don't know if you know what that means. Summarized: I suppose that it was unintentional from your side, but I want to explain what you provoke. A) with your South African flag on starboard, over the Greek flag! means -> "I come from south africa, I'm completely stupid and have no idea of rules, tradition, neither seamanship." ;-))) B) docking with naked upper body means -> I'm the most beautiful creature on earth and completely disrespectful. It means nothing for me what you are thinking about. You and your country have no reason to earn my respect." ;-)))) Really, I don't think that this was your intention, but please for the next time. Inform yourself about differences between your country and the country you'll visit. And to learn something about tradition and good seamanship, never will be a mistake. Last but not least! Thumbs up for you barbecue, it looks amazing! :-))) Best regards

Very nice video. We’ve done two one-week bareboat charters in the Dalmatian islands region, and loved it.

well done guys.....nice video, thanks for sharing :-)

Sorry but lots of errors. DO NOT TIE TO TREES - it is an offence in Turkey. KayaKoy is nowhere near Kapi Creek. I don't think the narrator has ever visited as almost every place was mispronounced. Nice videoing though.

What a lovely film. I like your uncomplicated style

Thank you! Great video! watching it is nearly like being there :-)

Again bad skipper, bad crew, wrong tecnique. Cheers

Adrian P, it seems that you are the Malaka !!

Hi Adrian P, We are in full agreement with you that Patmos and The Dodecanese is Greece. Did we say anywhere that it wasn't?

jesus you have a beautiful vibrant voice

mooi gebied hoor!

patmos & dodekanesos is GREECE malaka

The SA flag should be on the Port side and the local ie: Turkish courtesy flag on the Starboard.

Croatia....good work,very nice

Nice!

wow total injoyed this video thank you and God speed

the south african flag, what a beautiful sight.

south african accents awesome. .

One mistake,the Split boulevard you mentioned,that picture is actually Trogir "boulevard" or Riva . Great video

Hi! Thanks for a beatiful and useful video! Planning to get my skipper license next year and am considering sailing the route you suggest. Have a few questions though: 1. What's a duration of such trip? 2. What's an approx. cost of the trip? Thanks in advance for answers!

As always you make your videos exciting and full of adventure with really great advice. Cheers.

Another great video, Cheers

Excellent video, really enjoyed it. Cheers

Hi, just got back from my 2 weeks sailing in Croatia around Brac, Solta, Hvar and Korchula. Absolutely magic with a good sea breeze and delightful anchorages. Not to mention the food which is superb. I am sure you are right about selling yr experience before paying. As for myself i had to (re)show my competency certificate as well as the vhf certificate. I have also been told that one person with the charter co is responsible with gauging whether the skipper knows what is he/she is doing especially when leaving the base marina.

Hi ririshow, you have read the "rules" correctly. However, the reality is quite different. Those rules protect the charter companies only. In Sep'14 we chartered a bareboat yacht from Yacht4You established in Kastela Marina. The crucial thing is to get the charter company to accept your existing experience (whatever that may be) up front, before any payment is made. I did exactly that and made the booking subject to their agreement. No further questions were ever asked and no one so much as even requested or mentioned my (lack of) experience.
