Oh how I enjoy your vids! So chill, so relaxing. It's great to watch a confident skilled Skipper at work. Nice haircut ! And oh it woukd be terrific to see a dentist on short notice. My dentist has a Ferrari and other interesting cars. Glad to have made the contribution.
Hi Steve and Judy I was just in Bodrum with my GF on a weeks vacation from the US and got a haircut that my GF absolutely loved could get expensive to keep getting them there! We plan to sail the Med in 3 years when we retire love the films and keep them coming!
Steve there is a standard chain marking system. R-Y-B-W-G it is easy to remember with the phrase "Rub Your Balls With Grease". You don't need amber markers but you do need white.
When putting out a stern line to shore, I tie a fender or two to the line so fishermen etc can easily see it. The film "Keeping Mum" is one of my favourites.
Such an agreeable watch. Beauty as always. Simplicity. A boat to die for. Great anchorage. And a wonderful advert for Turkey. We sailed from Bangor in Northern Ireland to Rhu, North of Glasgow last weekend! Beauty of a greener kind!
Really enjoyed your filming of your friends property and the local culture. Some land tours are not my thing but this episode made feel I was almost there with you. Thank you!
Hi guys. Love your videos, very informative. I've been watching an earlier video where pumice fishing was the go. PUMICE was used by the Romans and Greeks to make concrete for the columns of their large structures. It was used because it is extremely light and this allowed the builders to more easily raise the large columns. Pumice today is still used in lightweight concrete construction. :)
Hello Fairisle! I was thinking of you as I just watched episode 300 of "RAN Sailing". I remembered you asking for any good vids to let you know as you would be at anchorage for a while! The gang on Ran Sailing moored alongside a young Polish chap that just crossed the Atlantic in a 16ft. sailboat that he built himself from plywood and fiberglass.The video tells a little of his story along with a little jaunt on the boat.Watch if you get time "Ran Sailing " latest Y T video. CHEERS!
Another well made episode. Looking forward to a season of visiting new locations with you. As for viewing suggestions : Ive enjoyed VernonDecks LearningByDoing vlog from Indonesia (gorgeous/best ever drone shots in the latest), I never tire of CaptainRon, and have been surprised at how accurate TheLastKingdom is (amazing how little of the Viking experience in the UK I was taught in school). Best !
Normally I let the small things fly by but whoever cut your hair did a fantastic job. Not to say you are old or anything like that but you look at least ten years younger. Really nice video as well, classy.
Well thanks, I don’t know about 10 years younger, but Turkish hairdressers are excellent it’s true and you don’t get out of there without them giving you a good scrub!
Enjoyed the video very much. I would like to recommend a sailing movie you may enjoy. The movie is called " Dead Calm " with Billy Zane, Nicole Kidman. It is a very intense and will keep on the end of your cockpit seating. Enjoy your cruising adventures and keep the keel pointed downward Kind Regards, Gary P.s. I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana and I sail a Hans Christian 33
Great episode and great you are enjoying Turkey. We arrived in February so are still getting used to the place. If you are coming as far a Kas it would be great to meet up, it is quite lovely here.
Hi there steve & Judy. Loved the film and growing ever jealous. I must say steve that your haircut has knocked decades of your age. It really suites you. Ah the wind is so unpredictable. Debbie and I stayed on a gullet for five days around Marmaris a few years ago now and we loved it. If you ever want some crew please do let us know. Mark Perrins.
Another great 24 minutes of viewing time. I am in Kefalos, Kos, windsurfing until end of June. So if you get here before I leave, I would love to see your beautiful yacht up close. There always appears to be plenty of anchor room/space in the bay here.
Make sure you visit the castle and museums at Bodrum as well as the market. We have details on some cracking anchorages as you work your way east drop us a mail. Netflix, try; "Don't look up". Apple TV; "Salt Bike. A Year with the Baron". A cracking documentary made by my brother and narrated by Ewan Mcgregor. We have just a few films on board 😉 catch up in the summer at some time. Sail Safe Guys, Ant & Cid.
Try a series called Slow Horses. An excellent drama series about people and events in and of MI5. Very unusual and presenting MI5 as anything but smooth.
There wasn't enough swinging room with the depth of the water the mount of chain we needed to have out would have meant hitting the side. So the anchor goes closer to the North bank and we tie to the South & that gives us enough scope.
Another great video. I would be interested to know how you get on with the chain markers. I put them on 8mm chain this year but as they went around the horizontal winch on deck they started coming out of the chain. I may go back to coloured cable ties. I will also fit some warning markers as the anchor gets near to the stem as I knocked a chunk out of the bow when I operated the winch from the helm.
You can get versions that are more rubbery and some which are hard plastic, but i have to say we had the hard plastic type in the original chain and they were all still there after I assume 15 years or more. I fitted the more rubbery variety 3 years ago and again not lost one. Maybe your chain even though 8mm has a slightly different pitch between links? there are variations
@@svfairisle I must admit it’s the first time I’ve used them & did think that it maybe the horizontal winch that is twisting them out. I think mine are the more rubbery type. I’ll see how I get on this year, thanks for the reply. All the best to you both.
A great film to watch of which I think describes the new future, in fact that future is here now I do believe. TIME. is the title of the film. Ewan McGregor.
Sounds like “meow” is still “meow” even in different languages! 😀 Are you ever going to add a wind turbine to your power system? Seems like it could help on the cloudy but windy days.
When do you arrive in Kas? You will absolutely love it, a favorite destination of Turkish and foreigners. Dost Cafe is the cutest/trendiest cafe and bar in town. My family lives there, have plenty of recs if you need them.
@@svfairisle oh great! Maya has excellent steaks and wine selection (not a strong suit of Turkey). Oburus Momus, above old/town marina, amazing vegan and vegetarian fair. Wish I could connect you with Dad, at Dost he is known as George from California and they take their Cavalier King Spaniel everywhere, they are quite friendly have a lovely seafront villa on peninsula with pool which they'd be happy to have you by for on my behalf.
Didn’t really get whether you thought the VPN you’re using is worthwhile or not, have the BBC got onto it yet ? As media people what do you think of the ethics of accessing things like the iPlayer by dodgy means.
Another lovely video, you two. You're in beautiful waters! What's the scuttlebutt about the Black Sea? Is anyone sailing there? Or is the consensus that staying "far away" is best?
@@judyaslett2 Thanks ma'am. I appreciate your thoughts from the Eastern Med. Hopefully by the time I'm refit and get across the pond this disgrace will be over. Fair winds, Judy. Andy
Maddie and Herby, from Rigging Doctor, turned me on to you. I,m subscribed, bell activated, and you got a 👍 from me. Maddie painted my portrait which you see adjacent to this comment.

Greener and a little cooler perhaps.

That movie suggestion is a good one, love Billy. Great video, Thank You,
If a picture is worth 1000 words, that is what this journey is all about. Fair winds and following seas my friends ….. 😁🙏🏻
Loved the camera shot from on top the sail being raised!

Interesting, the Romans didn’t miss a trick. Sorry to say that almost 2 years on from there and pumice is still the only thing we’ve caught🤣
Netflix, Servant of the People, excellent!

Good to meet you at Knidos. See you in Cambridge sometime may be. Good sailing.
Nice to meet you too. I'm sure we'll meet again.
Love your films, lifestyle, yacht, and all you've done with her :-)
Cool haircut Steve and nice line ashore. 👍
So god news about the power budget.

Kingsman 2021. Try to find a reliable IPTV stream for more films availability. Good luck, 👍 excellent photography.

While in Bodrum you should visit the Institute of Nautical Archaeology and ask, the director, Tuba Ekmekçi Littlefield for a tour.
Nice episode. Great to see you on the road again - exciting
Great episode and great you are enjoying Turkey. We arrived in February so are still getting used to the place. If you are coming as far a Kas it would be great to meet up, it is quite lovely here.
We will get to you in June I think

Welcome to cesme
Fair Isle is one of those rare boats that, like an exceedingly beautiful woman, brings a tear to the eye.
Try a series called Slow Horses. An excellent drama series about people and events in and of MI5. Very unusual and presenting MI5 as anything but smooth.
Oops. Should have said it's on Apple TV. At least it in in Australia.
Love the haircut. Regarding TV I really enjoyed the French Spirel. Why did you need to put a stern line out ?
There wasn't enough swinging room with the depth of the water the mount of chain we needed to have out would have meant hitting the side. So the anchor goes closer to the North bank and we tie to the South & that gives us enough scope.

steve and judy watch a movie called STIX it will give you insight to do if come across people in small craft in the med liam in ireland
Thanks
UK dentists have bigger boats than yours
Ha! Yes I’m sure you’re right!
Don't watch Jaws. :)
I love that film……but u r right
