- Mark and Fiona visit the islands of Paxos and Anti Paxos in the Ionian Sea. Beautiful turquoise water, calm seas and wonderfull adventures. Join them on their journey taking Awanui NZ Nordhavn’s very first N51 from Istanbul Turkey home to New Zealand #adventure #boat #nordhavn #nz #cruise #sailing #yacht #boating #yachting #Greece #Cruise #boating #boats
Warps,ropes,lines, string,hehe as long as the boat is tied up.
Good point
Boats are not for caves, Mark! There... said it.. Besides that, thank you again for a very nice episodes, and really nice drone work! And the scenery is just amazing.... Thank you for keeping the dream alive in us viewers....
I know I know….just could not help myself.
I think the drone footage has put your channel over the top as the best boating channel.
Wow that’s a huge call….got so much more to add yet
@@AwanuiNZ I like the onboard stuff when you are moving. Also when you are both talking about what is occuring. The drone stuff is more travel program than boating. It is great though.
Great job Fiona and Markey Mark! Thank you so much for taking us along on your journey!
You very welcome
I have been googleing River Awanui to the open waters, and it's beautiful. The last town is situated just perfect, and all the parks along the shore. To many to call out. Very interesting area. It looks like where north and south are split is probably where you flew out of when you were a working pilot. Im still going to keep googleing New Zealand. Its got some history. Yes, have you watched the racing between NZ & USA. NZ kicking butt. ( sailing)
Yip if you mean SailGP? Next is in NY which should be crazy. 26 June I think.
There were a lot of smiles through this video. I really enjoy watching you dock Awanui. You seem much more relaxed with it. I think Fiona must just be shaking her head at some of your ideas. Ha!
That’s an understatement
Excellent drone footage Mark. Looks beautiful there , as usual, even though they charged you more 😁
It was…just grizzling
Awanui NZ the Northern Mediterranean's premiere service for UAV, ropework and speleology.
Haha
Gerat drone footage, great underwater footage and best of all your storytelling video footage. Love the hour long journey with you and your wife. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Mark, the pilot is coming out of you with the drone. Absolutely great shots, I totally loved every moment of these shots. Great ,great wow! Thank you ,thank you. Made me get a little teary eyed. Watching .
Wow don’t want to upset you!
@AwanuiNZ it was a happy tears. The best kind.
Of course
I'm so glad you finally put up this video. I've been waiting, God, I can hardly believe you have found (the Garden of Eden). I think God couldn't have us not see his beautiful creations again the way Adam and Eve saw it. Only in a water world. Thanks for some of the greatest filming I have seen. National geographic is going to be calling, I would presume. The greatest olive oil has a bite to it, and you have found a good supply of it. ❤️👍🧜♂️🔱🤭 Cocoa , fl.🇺🇸
Thanks for such positive feedback…it was a pretty special place
@@AwanuiNZ you just keep the videos coming and you will make this old fart happy. Thanks again.
Anytime
Paul and Vanessa Shurrock following from the UK, lovely scenery and music so relaxing. Keep in touch 😘😘😘
We will.mwhere in the UK?
@@AwanuiNZ Sorry not sure what you mean we still live in Birmingham, do you remember us🤔
Hi Paul and Vanessa how cool to hear from you. Fiona here!
Mark a bit slow on the uptake!!
So pleased you’re watching the videos!
Will be cool to catch up when we get to England!!
@@user-lx7mr5vc2t Hello this is Paul Vanessa sent the message. I only found your video,s yesterday and was well impressed with the boat and your video's. Will keep watching and follow your progress, and comment when appropriate. Love Paul.
Well now Mark here…..completely missed the names so sorry. So good to hear from you guys. Shame there is no coast in Birmingham…maybe you guys come and find us when we head up the East coast next year. I guess you heard from Eldin about Mum and Dad? Only Auntie Elsie left now eh? We should keep in touch more we so enjoyed our visit all those years ago. Is Tony and family all good?
Hi guys. beautiful drone footage. You have taken it to the next level.
Been following you since just before delivery of the boat.
Thanks for taking us with you.
waiting for the next episode.
Fabio from the Big Island, Ballarat AU
Much appreciated.
Love the discussions and the openness in the real world conditions that you guys are experiencing.
Thank you
I am very much enjoying your series.
Thank you
Very good drone videos, yes, it could be even better, but already very nice shots.
I'm already looking forward to the videos in a year's time.
Me too…then I want to go back to the old ones and cringe!
Exquisite cruising. Never knew there were so many idyllic little harbors scattered around Greece. Nicely done but not sure I would have felt it necessary to nose into a small grotto in a Nordhavn yacht! Wow did you hit it right on the weather. I've read so many Mediterranean cruising stories where yachts get pounded in sudden ferocious squalls. You have both become masterful at Med-moor. Thanks for sharing.
It was a beautiful day
Mark , just use the truster in small chocks , not continusligh ! It will go HOT. Instead use the engines.
Yip learning that….thanks
What a fantastic episode team! The drone footage was magnificent! The cave insertion was a moment that's for sure..... Inspiring stuff all round.
So pleased you enjoyed it…thought we might get told off
Once again an amazing hour and three minutes thoroughly enjoying your experiences in Greece while lying in bed with covid. This a wonderful distraction from self pity. The drone clips are amazing. Loved the views of the cliff strata. It is noticeable that the story of learning about the boat is diminishing as the physical experience takes over. The comfort and reliability of the boat clearly allows you to open up the enjoyment of adventure.
Well done Mark & Sweety.
I'm sorry to hear you have covid. It is amazing how this damm covid is lingering on in the world. I guess China is real happy about killing and making people sick world wide. It's something I don't think will ever be concord. I hope this video that the master video king has brought to the world has brought you some happiness. Cocoa, fla.Usa 🇺🇲🧜♂️🔱👍❤️🤭
Ouch that’s no good David. If only the ladies knew just how terrible men’s illnesses are. Look after yourself. Yip she is running pretty sweet now and no scheduled maintenance for a while. Next big job is polishing the hull and deck. Thought we might wait for Ross to help with that!
WOW!! I don't think I'd want to leave the anchorage!!! 2:32 Great footage!!
It was perfect. We did not want to leave Greece but our Schengen time clicking on so need to keep a month up our sleeves for before we go home in September for a month
thanks again well done
Thank you we appreciate the feedback
Great video, as usual. Thank you for letting us come along.
Anytime
I love the long videos Mark. ❤❤
now we are more caught up I hope they aren’t to much shorter!!😢
Biggest issue is storage on my iPad. iMovie make huge file sizes so I struggle to store both the iMovie and the original footage. Never enough space!
Another brilliant video! Interesting to see that you have as many viewers as subscribers, which means that those that subscribe, are all watching ... that says a lot for what you are putting out there.
Analytics says we are about 50/50 so half the subscribers are watching which amazes me given how many channels people subscribe to. We love the comments as I have said before and we continue to be astonished as to how many followers offer to meet and show us around as we pass by…..looking forward to that.
Hi Marky and Fiona, that wood work looks like it’s faded a lot , needs to be stains or oiled again before it gets too bad
Advice we have is to let it fade then treat but not stain or oil….apparently work never finishes if oiled or stained. We have some product which essentially restores the teak. Advised to leave for 3 to 4 months.
Brilliant, just brilliant 🥃🏴
Thank you
Right Mark a bit of honesty here if you dont mind. Which professional camera man/woman did you hire to do the drone work . ! Seriously you have moved up a level to say the least and the music was just right. I got quite emotional watching it. Fantastic episode your best to date I think. As I've said before, thank you both for taking us with you on your fantastic adventure.
Busted!! As always practice helps. Still got so much to learn. There are some neat features I have not used yet. Big thing is flying it so that there is not too much editing. At the moment heaps so I am concentrating on that. Thanks
I don’t think I would have left that cove without reading at least three good books, broken up by lots of scenery gazing. And the odd snorkel thrown in.
This is why I have the desire for a Nordhavn
It was a perfect day…quite special
This was such a calming episode! I'm really enjoying following y'all's journey.
That’s great more coming
Thanks for taking us all along for the ride on your adventure! I’m watching these on my daily commute on the train here in Sydney, dreaming of the day when I can follow in your wake. It would be helpful at some point if you could share an estimate of your daily running costs. Thanks
Yip we are working on that. So pleased to be able to entertain you on your commute
I've been a Nordhavn fan for a long time. When the 51 was announced I was excited, but had reservations. Thank you for sharing all of your adventures with this wonderful boat. I love these episodes! Great Videos!
Thanks so much. We love making them.
Thank you Mark and Fiona. Excellent stuff👏🙏
Our pleasure Brian
Another great video. It feels like I’m living the dream but it’s actually you. Your videography, drone shots and underwater shots are well done. The music from around 30:00 on was very nice. The whole video has a very friendly feel like I’m there with my old friends. Carry on !
Will do and thanks for the encouragement. It’s weird we started this as a record of our adventure but it seems to be being enjoyed by more and more people we feel are along with us.
Stunning video,well done both of you,the music was spot on, thank you for showing, look forward to more
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful footage Mark. Those caves and cliffs are stunning. Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks 👍
You're now a confident drone operator Mark, much more interesting footage this vid. Didn't see any of that nice olive oil you were after.
Nope horrendous price! Thanks on the drone operating…very nearly crashed a couple of days ago. Only thing that saved me was DJI clever programming!
We are visiting family and saw your most recent post…so I was pretty antisocial for the next hour. Hmmm the Rammells have got a lot to answer for! Gotta see it again on the big screen at home. You are both really good at telling a great story thru the lens. Thank you and well done.
Thanks so much….be patient and watch them when NOT in company!
Great photography and team work mark and Fiona !
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you Mark. I have been following you for a while and am enjoying every minute of your videos. I have also been following a Gentleman by the name of Tony Fleming. He has been tripping around North America, Alaska , Faroe Islands and all the countries in Scandinavia. I believe you are headed that way in the future.He has a boat called Venture II. It is a Fleming Yacht. Once again thank you. This is the only way I can tour the globe. My health does not allow me to go any were.
Sorry to hear that but pleased you enjoy our episodes. Yes have watched Tony. Only annoying thing is his monotone voice I keep rally asleep!!
Really enjoying watching your great adventure.Full credit to you both.Would love to catch up with you both when you come to Picton.Keep having fun.Barry Dulieu.
Absolutely…..see you there….one day!
Another great video love the drone and under water footage can’t believe how clear the water is thanks for sharing 👍🏻😀🇬🇧
Thanks for watching
I followed the built videos every now and then. But binge watched from walkthrough video 1 to here in two days :D Can't wait to watch for the next five years. OMG what an adventure.
Welcome aboard! Thanks so much for
Great cave driving there Mark.Well done.
Only cause I saw much bigger boats go in there…..
The erosion on those rocks looks like carvings. Amazing. Another beautiful video! Well done.
Thank you very much!
Hi guys, yet another top quality video. Personally I love the longer vids, cos I can get right into them. Keep up the great work, can't wait for the next one. Thanks heaps.
Biggest challenge is storage on my iPad. iMovie builds videos using huge storage and I keep not being able to download while still having the footage on the hard drive which you need until published. I have an external drive which I export used footage to but I cannot build the video from there….inless someone out there knows how to do that?
Bet that was the first Nordhavn to enter those caves, bloody fantastic ❤
It was
👍
Epic vid tday big Sparky, a tripod would be your best friend.
I reckon
One of your best videos. Keep up the good work.
Wow, thanks!
Wonderful adventure.
Improving quickly with the drone footage!
Surely the height limit is about ground level, so you could legally touch down somewhere part way up to zero out the altitude then lift off again?
No you should definitely not use that word.
I like the way you think….it maybe GPS altitude as it definitely knows where we started which is where the home point is….i will experiment….standby
Great video never a dull moment we'll fiona and mark looking forward to the next one x ttfn
Glad you enjoyed it James
Love it! Especially when you parked the boat in the garage! I was getting pirates of the Caribbean vibes for sure!
Of course a garage…now I feel fine about it.
Great episode and I loved the music.
Cool, thanks
What stunning water colour . ..great drone footage . .
Interesting cliff layers . .
Awesome video .
Till next time .
Bye from NZ👋🍻🇳🇿twa
Thanks 👍
As a follower of many boating channels I predict that in 12 month's time you will have over 100 000 subscribers. The more people comment on your videos the better for the algorithm ... and thank heavens for not doing the "subscribe please, we need your support" thing 😃
Haha yes that is always tempting simply because you get captured by the responses you get from followers. We absolutely love the comments and have so far answered every one. That would be impossible if we had 100,000 subscribers. Interesting thing is our audience is 55+ so unless we appealed to the younger generation I am not sure the channel will grow huge….who knows. I am amazed where it is at now!
@@AwanuiNZ I'm less that 40 and I'm subscribed for couple of days for now since the moment when I discovered your great channel. I'm binge watching your episodes, cannot stop. Sharing them with my friends. It's an absolute blast.
thanks for sharing the drone footage puts another perspective of where you are and how beautiful it is
Glad you enjoyed it
Just love it :)
Love those Mooring videos...cant have enough
Keep them coming please.
Ok so I was wondering is that may get a little boring after a while. We are now in Montenegro for a couple of months. They do not seem to have the quayside mooring. Not totally sure which other countries do. It’s pretty expensive to stay on Marinas…like $200NZ/night. We cannot afford that in anyway shape or form so mostly will be anchoring which means each time we do go into a marina or quayside I will video for you.
@@AwanuiNZ Thanks :)
No worries
32 Euros....supply and demand.Not busy at all but packd with boats
Yip that’s it
going into that cave was very cool Mark
It was amazing
Excellent episode, thanks Fiona and Mark, fair winds 😊
Thankyou so much. We really enjoy making them and it really helps when you get such positive feedback
Glorious!
Cool feedback
Beautiful rock formations!
Rudder question: When looking at the rudder underwater footage. Is the rudder not a perfect ''hook'' for any underwater debris/nets/seagrass?...
Probably….at least it’s not too deep to get things off….nothing so far
Stunning scenery
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazingly gorgeous drone video, thanks for sharing with us👍😊🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it
I think you can now add your drone wings.
Solo anyway…..nearly crashed the other day. Thank goodness for DJI
This is just a suggestion, you should get a condensed version of all area you are exploring, like some people do is put a sticker on the map every where you go. Have it on wall to show everywhere you've been and going. Ha ha! IT WOULD FILL UP FAST . 🇺🇸🤭🔱🧜♂️👍❤️ Cocoa, fl. Usa.
We thought about a map on the wall but there is no wall big enough other than the curving wall down to the guest cabin and it would need to be wall paper to make the curve work. I might try and find an app
@@AwanuiNZhow about on the wall on left side door. Outside , that way anyone that walks by can see your progress.
Will think on it
Lovely video! You are a pro at med mooring now. Question, when you are backing into shore (at the beginning of the video) how do you know the tide won’t drop? (When tying off onto shore). Also superb drone footage. Keeps getting better each video!
Tides only 300mm in the Mediterranean at most so not an issue. We will need to have a big fat sign saying TIDES in front of me once we get out of the Med
hey Mark
Something you allready know: Boats are not made for caves!!!!!!!
Correct….just could not resist
Great episode 👍 Drone skills are coming along nicely.
Thanks 👍
Go to Lakka.....most beautiful bay in the north from Paxos...upps and you ended there...great 🙂
Yes it was nice…amazing number of boats arrived there
Hey crew, love your work, any chance of adding air and sea temperatures occasionally. Keep up the great entertainment!!!
Great idea we will
I think you are doing a fantastic job with the vids mate, if anything I might suggest a bit more boat in there, You know there are loads of similar vids but with sailboats, not many vids of power boats though and especially not with a Nordhavn. Keep up the good work, safe sailing and enjoy yourselves. 👍👍
Ok I hear that. Let me know how that goes in future episodes. I agree not many on Motor Yachts. I was looking for them when we were planning to get an idea of what life was like, what it costs and the challenges. Because we are live aboard it is going to be very interesting facing the challenge of winter as obviously we have to be somewhere in the winter. For me that means if it’s winter let’s make it winter….i.e Norway or somewhere like that!
Good morning from the states another great video. It brightens our day to see how beautiful the world really is. We probably watched it twice the views the caves were amazing. Safe travels on your journey and your family.
How cool thanks so much
Now if you selected volvo IPS systems You would have dynamic positioning AKA virtual anchor and you could hold pinpoint bought on the map
Way out of my league???
Note to self, stern docking station for the Med.
Honestly it’s ok. Either way you either need to see the back or the front at some stage. I love it up top you get a great view all round. Going to mount a camera on the side of the boat to give that perspective
Super video again! Very cool to see the journey i also took in the opposit direction)) 👍 videos are really starting to be at a profi + level!)
Thanks so much for the encouragement. Bit overcome by the huge support out there.
@@AwanuiNZ you (and th Nordhaven) deserve the attention! I also love the technical parts, my boat is an older Princess, and smaller, and its cool to see the new systems, and also learn).
They will keep coming once I catch up to us
Clear waters and continuing sunshine, small towns - what's not to love. We got a glimpse of petty bureaucracy as well - yellow lines delineating where presumably higher paying tourist boats get priority - hopefully not a regular event. I'm interested to know how the budget is working out - do you have a sense of a daily all up total, inclusive of food, fuel, entertainment, restaurant and berthing costs (ignoring the ownership outlay)? And is this in line of what you expected? Not that I could hope to have such a luxurious land-based accommodation equivalent, I work on NZD 500 per day for a land-based European odyssey.
That is coming we are currently putting all the figures together. It’s probably more than we expected but that is not surprising. Just want to catch up with where we are then we will do a “specialty” episode each week plus our journey.
Good video you guys 😊
Thank you 😁
You gonna have to invest in a remote control for docking. Also, your radio looks awkward, why not get something with a thumb press then talk. Like a cb radio. Thanks for today's journey.
Must admit the radio is a little cumbersome. Over here hardly anyone uses them. They all communicate by phone. Cortex is a very clever radio in itself but not that easy to operate the handset. Garmin own them now
@AwanuiNZ good stuff man. Can't wait for the ocean legs....
Me too, I hope I enjoy them as much as I think I will
Was the olive oil reasonably priced?
Terrible……half as much again as extra virgin olive oil in supermarket……..about 12 Euros for 500ml…….we tried it but not good enough to get to that price. Sticking with generally produced EVolive oil.
Another great video, Mark. Getting pretty handy with that drone. Quick question - when are you getting that cover for the fly bridge to give you some shade up there?
Hopefully over the next month in Montenegro
Hey Mark. Can you do an episode about the drone you're using? And maybe the camera etc you're using (GoPro?).
Hey bud yippee will do….IDJ Osmo 4…
Wow wow wow, was für ein super Video. Unglaublich ❤ Was benutzt du für einen Anker, und wie schwer ist der?
45kg pointy end type….mmm I should know that…hang on I will check…Ultra Anchor
I have to wonder how often people tangle their anchor with each other?
Lots but everyone understands it happens and get involved helping to sort it. Great community out there.
@@AwanuiNZ I could imagine fist fights if the moored that way in Oz.
I know and back home…over here everyone helps and are patient
The best oil in the world
It was nice but did not stand out to me…not that I am an expert
Just S P E C T A C U L A R. oh and did you get any olive oil?? ❤⚓️
Nope horrendous price…almost twice normal. Tourism prices up and running in Paxos. Sorry got a wee bottle to try…..seemed the same as most extra virgin olive oil
Another great video. Had to laugh when you took the boat into the cave. It is indeed the only logical thing to do, but for some reason the admirals seem to think differently. Paxos is a great place to be, we prefer it over Corfu, the lady for the port fee looks to be grumpy, but she is actually quite cool. Collecting fees is her second job, once she knows you she relaxes. Guess she has a lot of boats coming in and not paying (then again, it is her job to collect the fees, so who is to blame ?)
Anyways, think you guys are in the old Navy yard in Budva, finally out of Schengen, time to relax. With a little luck we will be passing by later this week. Bit stormy right now in Corfu, got the engines running again, as soon as it calms down we will be on our way to Cavtat near Dubrovnik. If you ever need a good diesel mechanic, come back to Corfu and I will pass you his phone number, if
he cannot fix it.......nobody can.
Looking forward to the next video.
How cool keep in touch. You bypassing Montenegro?
Just left Corfu, weather seems to be good for the next 2 days, so will try to reach Dubrovnik in one go, saves us a lot of paperwork, we may still make the concert in Pula on the third of July. 😊. Tomorrow night we will pass by bay of Kotor. The Sionyx night vision camera has 2 nights of working ahead of her. 👍
Wow go for it. I hope you get to the concert
Probably the only time caves and boats go together is in a James Bond movie ! And no offense meant,but You aren’t Him !
Haha so true
Respectfully. At 25:43 both you and Fionna use the "R" word. To some this may be offensive. I very much appreciate that in NZ this might not be the case but here in the UK we try not to use it. I do note though that you check yourself Mark... which shows you are aware. It didn't however spoil the video. Thank you.
We hear you and understand the sensibilities of that. It came out and we trying where possible not to edit too heavily. No offence intended. My brother was very challenged mentally from birth so I do understand.
But what are their insurance premium Remember your yacht is made out of fiberglass you don't have a belt of armor or a reinforced Keel enter with extreme caution but you might run your insurance premiums up you know they probably watch this too
Mmm…must confess to not considering that. Some risks worth taking
Thanks again for a great video Mark 👍👍. Really love the concert. Given us great inspiration for one day when we do the same.
I can just see how your conference has grown behind the wheel of that MIGHTY N .
💪💪🛥
Indeed and thanks
How come you're collision alert voice sounds like Starship enterprises computer
Good question
Not seeing coral , just rocks in the under water shots. Is that a typical Med thing?
The other day there was more growth but hardly coral. More like lichen
Why 720p format ?
Aah you noticed. Simply could not load the volume of data from iMovie to Photos section of iPad. iMovie make the files huge through editing and one hour long episodes are 40+GB. Using iMovie you also have to contain all the footage on the iPad until the finished product is moved across to Photos. Once there you can delete any footage you used. Once we get away from 60 minute + videos I will make sure they are 1080 or hopefully 4K. Starting to do drone footage in 4K to get ready for that. I should have gotten a much bigger storage iPad. iMovie on iPad won’t let you upload from an external drive as far as I am aware….you have just given me a thought though so standby on that.
Do your stabilisers work at anchor Mark?
Only if the Starboard engine is running
How do you know there’s enough room between boats when you are docking?
That’s a great question….you just get that feeling a bit like parking your car it either looks ok or it does not. We watch some people nudge their way in almost wiggling their bum to push the boats on either side slightly further away to get in. People are very understanding as everyone knows what it’s like to arrive and no spot
Peter Jackson eat your hart out.
Ok so now that’s a bit crazy
Try not to be so argumentative, the boomer really coming out at times and cringe worthy. Remember your in there county speaking English not there natural language, not everyone trying to hussle too old boy.
I hear you. I did think that while editing so gave myself a mild telling off
As a boomer myself, we do have our foibles. And usually unrepentant about it. Eh.
very unrepentant
What a beautiful place to anchor!!!!
Yip we miss Greece
