One more point , all i see is two loving parents and a wonderful little boy, getting a life experience that most people would jump over the moon to do, keep up the great work of being loving parents to Benjamin, all the best.
Please don't take any criticisms about your parenting skills to heart. Ben looks like he is having the very best start in life, and you are both brilliant parents....we took our two kids sailing in the Ionian aged 2 and 4!
Thanks Charles for sharing your thoughts and experiences, Ben is indeed a very happy little man and as long he is happy we are.. Great to hear you took your kids sailing with the age of 2 and 4, means we have to hurry up with the advice of our German friend from the previous episode 😂
Great episode. You have a very natural flow to your videos. Excellent editing. I love your interaction with the locals too. Seeing the world and getting to know the people is a priceless education; for you and for Benjamin. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, all credits for the editing towards Pedro, he is doing all the work regarding this. We believe in the school of the world, learning skills and meeting local people and knowledge. Much love from us.
We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw the footage, didn't notice it during flying the drone so it was a big surprise and especially because the seagull is so calm like he/she just wanted to say something.
Great episode guys! I was gobsmacked from your drone video segment with the curious seagull flying up to see the drone. I’m so happy that I found your videos! They’re fantastic.
Thanks Mark, we know the feeling, we were gobsmacked as well when we saw the footage after the flight. It felt almost unreal because the seagull was so calm and we believe he even winked at the camera ;) Welcome onboard and we are glad you found us.
Hoe is het afgelopen met jullie dinky mijn Poolse babuschka, met Benjamin komt alles wel goed, hoeft niemand zich zorgen over te maken. Veel plezier in Venetië.
Neglecting Ben? Can't see any neglect only love and care. Some parents get angry as soon as someone is raising their child in a different way than they do, what they need to realize is that there are as many parenting styles as there are parents. Some are indeed harmful to the child, like abusive parents or children that live with parents with substance abuse such as drugs or alcohol. You seem like great parents, ignore the full of themselves parents that have little understanding of the world around them! Ben is a great kid with great parents!
Thank you Alexander, we were kind of astonished as well when we were confronted with it, we do what we can give us much love and care we can towards Benjamin. As newbie parents living a different lifestyle we are asking ourselves the question: is this the best we can do for Benjamin? We love to live close to nature, meet different kind of people, cultures and see skill learning as a great tool in life. Really appreciate your extensive comment and sharing your thoughts with us. Much love 💙
Totaly agree and I cold have not put it better, the expireances, knoledge, self confidence and so much more that you are giving Ben in his young childhood will for sure not only remain as childhood memories for life that any other couch patato screen adicted kid would only dream of..., but will serve him as tools you are giving him now to turn one day into an amazing special & good person as both his perants are. The apple does not fall far from the tree......... :)))
Hi family, we are giving a shout-out in this video to Yacht Registration Holland. As you know, we always provide total transparency about sponsorships. We asked YRH if we could share them in our video, and they loved the idea, and we got the registration for free. As with every cooperation, we are totally free in what we do or do not share. This is why we always feel free to point out the pros and cons and make the content as we want to and with an 'objective' view. And to be honest, we are not professional reviewers, so we will always be influenced by our personal preferences, as with almost any other RUclipsr out here doing reviews (like we highly value service and love to support local entrepreneurs and some care more about the best price). If you require a new flag registration, you can check their website below. Their service is incredible, as we have changed our minds several times on which flag, they managed to work out everything without any problems. And they even stayed extremely friendly with us, changing the plans continuously.

Thanks Matthias, great to hear, no we don't have a new camera. We decided to wait and continue with the current setup before we invest in next level camera gear.
@@FeeltheBreeze jus luv the way u show everyting in the videov and do xplain it but i luv the views and absolutly luv the places you have been in the videos
Hi Guys. Just caught up with your videos. It's amazing what you've acompished in your life so far. Pay no heed to this neglect talk. Your way is a good one. Keep it up. Fare winds and following seas.
Thank you Brisko... great to read you caught up with our videos, still gives us an enormous feeling. The only reason we share and comment on the critics is to raise awareness about it and hope it will change the point of view of people, maybe wishful thinking. Much love from us.
Had us all worried then with the title! Thank you for explaining the flag situation, sounds like a right 'can of worms'. Glad you managed to get it all sorted out in the end.
Sorry Paul, we didn't want to worry you. We hope we picked the the right worm. Let's see, for now the best solution we think. Thanks for letting us know.
@@FeeltheBreeze Yes, you have to be careful with 'worms' they are 'slippery little things' for sure! :-) I think a 'follow up' would be a good idea ...''Why we chose the Polish flag instead of the other possibles" Interested to know why you didn't go with the British Ensign in the end as I felt sure this was your 'first choice'. (Although I'm not sure you would be welcome throughout the World flying the Ensign these days :-) (Concerned by the title and the 'we have to go to Court' intro...)
Great job, wonderful drone work! And congratulations on working out the flagging of the boat. See you next time and thank you for all your hard work. Hi to Benjamin 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
What a wonderful episode, once again 😍 You guys are one of the few RUclipsrs where we literally watch every second of their vlogs. So beautiful & cinematic!
We have been enjoying the crescent moon here in the States as you have there in your video! Also the same types of evening skies! Safe travels and blessings! Getting my Venice voice ready!
Wonderfull Scott, the moon and the sunsets are amazing and glad to hear you have them over there as well, Gerben keeps training his voice as well for Oohhh Solemio ....
Can you do a video about the boat? Specifically about the blue water challenge? Thick hull, keelbolt inspection, rudder loss, etc? Im looking for a yacht and am attracted to the price and appeal of the beneteaus but scared that they're a bit breaky breaky.
We did a lot of refit videos and have to say the B57 is not a standard Beneteau, it was not build in a production line like many other Beneteau's nowadays. We believe Beneteau makes great boats but... we are happy we have a traditional build one, with a thick hull, etc. It all depends on your sailing plans in our opinion.
The fishing and fish situation in Cro was really bad, but the changed a lot about 10 years ago and from my own experience (sailing in Cro since more than 20 years) i can say that it has become much better now and the actions they took start showing and there is clearly more marine life now compared to 10 years ago. Thanks again for the great video :)
Great information Sebastian and really happy to understand it already improved a lot, we just saw dozens of fishing ships sailing out every evening and sailing all night long, this was probably much more 10 years ago. Glad you like the video.
Another wonderful video, love these little bays you anchor in just beautiful, thank you for the mention , but i feel guilty i was part of the problem that caused the collapse of the northern cod fishery in Canada, my ship was 83.5 meters fished 64 days or until the boat was loaded 24 hours a day along with hundreds of boats from all over the world on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, like you guys I would rather see fish while diving and seeing the beautiful life under the ocean than over taking to much fish, kinda sad now, but it will pass, glad you got you registration figured out, hope to see you sailing greater distances, Happy Sailing and be safe.
Thank you Ricky, we hope we did not gave you a bad feeling because we feel you are such a beautiful soul. We doubted if we should put the mention in the episode but since we are in contact you are part of the journey. We know you would rather see the fish while diving, great to hear you have good hope and it will pass, we hope the balance in the ocean will be back. We are looking forward to start sailing greater distances as well. Really appreciate your comment and much love from us.
There's no check in procedure entering to Italy for pleasure boats - I know that because we had a boat in Italian marina for last two years (under slovenian flag). Everytime we left Croatia we did only border procedures in Croatia not in Italy. But there is an other option - you can go to Slovenia (part of Schengen) and then to Italy and there's no border control between countries.
Thanks, when we entered Italy we were obliged to visit the Port Police to do a proper check in, including PCR test,etc. Interesting route via Sovenia, we sailed into Venice and didn't faced any problems.
Thanks Wouter, very interesting, is this also for foreign boats? We were happy to have the assistance of Yachtregistration Holland to do all the paperwork. The question is it worth the 400 euros extra for all the hassle they do.
Super, please check our story on Instagram. We are in love with your beautiful boat, the moment we will not live onboard anymore we would love to sail a day sailor. Did you made it for yourself? We are in Isola Certosa for some days before we leave to Sicily.
Yes i made by myself i started in June 2017 with a 3D model software and first ride was last year 2020 June Just a few days after lockdown. My boat Is in Chioggia in Le Saline Marina. Is more and less 10 Miles south of Venice. Chioggia is called little Venice very lovable. If you come next wensday we can have a ride in our laguna with my boat and talk about our esperiences. My english is not good but we can do. I fall in love with your life Is my secret dream
As always a good video and instructive regarding registration.As for Benjamin being neglected ,I don't think so ,with two loving parents he is growing rapidly and is very safe and interacts with everything you do 😘
Having a boat of the quality your's gives knowledgeable sailors understanding of the level of safety it brings to your journeys. I see how closely you watch Benjamin and know you take every precaution to insure his safety. He shows his ability to move in and around the boat. Of course there is a possibility of an unforseen event happening, that why you guys are so careful. What an awesome experience for you all! We pray God's blessings and protection be apon your family!
Thank you Rick for your nice comment, we really appreciate it and glad you see how we take care of Benjamin, he is boat kid for sure, he walks around like a pirate and even act like one sometimes. The unforeseen is our biggest nightmare of course since we are short handed but do what we can. Much love from us for you and your family.
Hi there looks like the none sense tries to spoil the joy. It’s great you keep forging ahead. What kind of boat are you sailing there? Looks like much fun. Stay safe.🥂
Yes indeed hahaha the none sense 🤣 luckily we determine our own joy and don’t have a strict schedule. We are sailing a Beneteau 57. She is really a beauty. We made a video with a boat tour. Will send the link in a sec. Thanks for following our adventures :)
I love to watch your channel because of the positive loving vibe for life you give out and your awesome experiences on how to face adversity, get on top of it, move forward and succeed. You are all an inspiration to watch and obviously fantastic parents to your energetic bundle of joy. On observation, Ben seems to be a child that enjoys being a child but also has the ability to stand back and absorb any situation with a sort of worldly maturity for his age, obviously his parents great influence and education. I am looking forward to seeing you all in Australia one day. Oh, your boat it's simply stunning, so nicely finished.👍
Hi Finlay, that's so nice to read, sharing the Breeze is what we love to do and when you put it in words like yours you give us the confirmation we are on the right track with our videos. Thanks! Benjamin is indeed a bundle of joy with energy all over the place and indeed the ability to absorb a situation and handle it. We are still waiting till the moment he falls into the water but so far so good. One day we will sail into Australia and it would be nice to meet. Yes, we love the Perfect Sense. Have a great day and much love from us.
Thanks for the latest episode. My yacht is in Montenegro and it is always useful to see the weather you are encountering at this time of year in the hope that we are able to get out there off season from London. In regard to your flagging problems I also had to make a choice and as a UK citizen, I have choosen to register under the UK flag but Part 3 (light) not Part 1 (full registration). Part 3 or Small Ships Registry has similar complications and validity with in comparison with your Dutch (light) registration. Currently Greece is not accepting UK part 3 registered boats and I have the added problems of tax (Montenegro Yacht purchased ex VAT) moving inside and out of the EU. We are allowed to travel under Temporary Importation rights on the boat for up to 18 months (a reset possible by moving even 24 hrs to a Third Country status) but we are hindered by all the changes in Brexit and tax laws so it is interesting to hear your problems. The UK flag currently allows us to call on the Royal Navy should we run into problems, always good to have the support of a few aircraft carrier ships when you are sailing in the Adriatic. Good luck Paul
Hi Paul, yes a lot of red tape and with all the changes going on definitely not easy, you have to constantly adopt the waves. We hoped the Dutch authorities would sort it out with Italy but unfortunately, we started the UK part 1 registration but faced some hurdles. We try to avoid the aircraft carriers if you don't mind ;) Thanks for watching.
I hear about this UK flag "rescue option" from time to time, particularly from these companies selling registrations, and likely a very profitable proposition. However, I have never had someone on YT or elsewhere sharing the actual use of this "option." Is this some old-fashioned naval paragraph when Brittain was a global imperium? Frankly UK is not so anymore. Feel free to prove that I'm wrong. I apologize for this slightly negative rant. Cheers.
The best part of your visitor's guitar and singing was the sound of the children giggling in the background. Those are very special moments. Also, I didn't see someone using earplugs while cleaning the rudder. :-((
Sharp Stevan, indeed thats the best part and it are memories which last a lifetime. You are right about the earplugs, since we are a few weeks behind with our videos we didn't adopt the previous advices in our tasks yet 😃
Ons ook, een Maltese vlag heeft een lange doorlooptijd en ook nog veel bureaucratie. Het gaat ons erom dat wij veilig kunnen bewegen zonder teveel gedoe. Wij hebben niet gekeken naar BTW voordeel en dergelijke aangezien de BTW betaald is voor de Perfect Sense.
Hahahaha here he is, our legend from Karpathos. Thomas, it is so great to hear from you and congratulations with selling your Wild at Heart, are you less Wild now? Man, remember our great evenings we had. Congratulations with your new purchase, what did you buy? Lets meet in Grenada. Still have your phone number ;)
Thanks for this video. Very beautiful shot with your drone when you filmed the seagull. She didn't feel in danger when you passed her. You really have a lot of talent singing in bars, you could have contracts for singing but only when closing to empty the place. But your guest could teach you well. Do not be discouraged with thinking he has plenty to do. Have a good week and be ready. 😁
We believe the seagull even winked at the camera, what a lucky shot... Thanks for the great idea regarding an extra income stream, never thought about it, maybe he can work for the government when they want to close the bars and restaurants again 😂 Have a great week to André and almost always ready.
Great videos, thank you. The comments about Ben look to be unfounded, the three of you seem to be a perfectly happy and stable family. If Ben was neglected in any way it would show in his behaviour either verbally of physically and he seems to be a happy child with the knowledge of staying inside the boat boundary for safety reasons. I would not entertain these comments even with a reply. Enjoy Venice we went there years ago, lovely place to visit Dank je wel :)
Thanks Malcolm for your nice comment, as long as Ben stays a happy child and develop in the way he does we are very happy too. With commenting on this comments we want to raise more awareness regarding different topics and how much hater there is amongst people, if we all act from love the world would be so much nicer. And yes we focus on the positive side. Venice is treating us very well, heel graag gedaan ;)
People are crazy today. They think children need to be protected from everything. I believe that’s why young people are so unhappy today. Kid need to fall, fail and the importance of compilation. You’re doing a great job. Keep it up 👍👍👍
Totally agree, falling and failing is part of life and being one with nature is great. Thanks for the compliments, really appreciate it. Much love from us.
Good news with the Reg guys, as for people interfering with the way you bring up Ben, ignore it, or tell them to mind their own business, you always have these interfering AH,s that think they know best and want to stick their nose in where it don’t belong. I have watched you guys since Ben was a little baby, no one in this world could give that little guy more attention, love, protection, guidance and every thing a child needs that you two do, just look at him, one of the most happy full of life contented little rascals you could ever see. I say well done, just keep on doing what you are doing, enjoy Italy.
Hi Barry, thanks for your comment and sorry for our late reply, somehow you message disappeared and luckily popped up again. We always try to reply, also on not so friendly messages to share our way of thinking and we hope it will bring some perspective in life. Every day we look at Benjamin and aks ourselves the question if he is a happy kid, if he socialises enough with other kids, this is our biggest concern. But as long as he is laughing all out, full of energy and all over the place we think we are doing a good job as newbie parents. It's a pleasure to have you onboard our journey from the start. Much love from us.
It was wonderful to unwind and stay at one place, Benjamin had a blast with a lot of other kids and we didn’t had to search for a supermarket or pizza delivery 😂
On the last show your motor died but you didnt say if you got another one or not. And do more fishing and record it even if you have to throw them back! We like seeing fishing !
Hahahahaha thanks... will keep practising ;) Like with the seagull, you have to sing first, then start up the drone, put some pieces of bread on top of it, take off, start whistling and then they come 😂 hahahaha.... this was just a million dollar shot, we believe he even winked at the camera...
You are amazing parents. Ben is a very happy thriving little boy. Raising children on water has parents far more alert than on land often times. He will grow up far more responsible and capable because of his floating home, varying seas and weather and all the solid ground adventures and people who come into his life. I wish more children could have what he has. As usual a beautiful story including the registration hiccup. One question ... did the drone survive the seagull interest?
Thank you Bobbie, we do our best and raising a kid on a floating home is different of course combined with our lifestyle. When we look at Benjamin we see a happy, active and open minden young boy and thats the most important for us. The shot with the seagull was the first fly we did with our new drone and happily nothing happened, we noticed the shot when we watched the footage, didn't even notice it while flying, amazing shot right?
@@FeeltheBreeze ... the seagull was unexpected and I'm sure you were thrilled with the footage. Bravo to the new drone. Does Benjamin like the footage or prefers just living it? See you next time xxx
love you guys. I was just about to say ill adopt you all and get you the British Flag. Haha. But glad you got it sorted out. Have fun in venice. cheers guys. x
We love you too Andy and it would have been a great adventure being adopted by you.... The British flag is still our preferred flag but we had to adjust course. Venice is treating us very well. Hope you are doing well, much love from us.
Wow! a very interesting vlog, what with the ICP & Flag registration situation. I am so glad things are sorted, and regards neglecting little Ben, I think that is so unfair as you guys are amazing parents. Anyway thanks for the vlog. The next vlog looks very interesting and challenging. Stay safe please, and I look forward to next Tuesday..
Maar in Spakenburg zijn er ongeveer 350 tot 400 visboeren, die heel Nederland en stukje van België en Duitsland mee pakken voor de verkoop van vis. Mijn familie was de eigenaar van fhish partners. En dan heb je ook nog Koelewijn haring inleggerij. Dat is waar we in Spakenburg goed in zijn, naast brood verkopen.
Amazing episode, iys great to see Ben enjoying himself as he does, growing up in such a unique way I think so long as he has a undressing of the layout I don't see what the problem is, to invite a super family onto you boat is great so guy's keep injoying your life, adventure love you guy's 😉🤙
Thanks Winston, really appreciate your comment and letting us you are enjoying our videos. We think Benjamin is having a blast and as long he is happy we are. We absolutely enjoyed to have the family onboard with their two kids. Much love from us. Have a great day.
A I said on Instagram, I was already wondering what the fuzz with the flags was about but you clarified it perfectly! I don't recognise any neglect, the only thing Gerben should stop doing is singing 🤣. It's great to see the love and care you have for each other and a fantastic vlog once again. How did ye go about learning to sail at sea? My 1974 steel Seahawk 31 is perfect for Friesland, IJsselmeer etc. but before I'll go out to the Waddenzee, Denmark or the UK, I think about taking some lessons. Any tips and tricks?
Stop singing???? I just received some advice to start singing in bars and restaurants who wants to close 😂 Sailing at sea is a different way of sailing, remember the first time when I sailed to Terschelling when I was 16 together with a friend, the moment we berthed the boat people where asking us if our parents where around 😃. This was with a 27 feet "twin keeler". We learned from the father of my friend regarding the tides, waves and navigation. There are a lot of sea sailing schools in the Netherlands. And I believe there is a lot to learn on RUclips for example or talk with experienced sailors. Another lesson is to just do it, prepare as much as you can and go for it.
We will, nothing will stop us from sailing, when we couldn't fly to the Perfect Sense we started driving 5000 kilometers to reach her even borders were closed. Thanks for your support! Love it.
My wife an I raised 6 girls and sometimes a child needs to learn thier limits and we never spanked our children but they knew we would if they did something they weren't suppose to do. I can't imagine raising a child on the confines of a boat. Just keeping them from becoming bored would be a full time job. We loved our girls but our relationship always came first.
WoW, raising 6 girls, that's next level. We have the same approach, when onboard or sailing sometimes there is no time for talking or an explanation and Benjamin feels it immediately when we raise our voice to keep him away from danger. And yes our love relationship is the cornerstone of everything, if our relationship is not in a good place we are not the best parents for Benjamin or for our business.
Ben-G is super high energy, definitely needs a positive way to burn energy, perhaps a well fitted harness so he can climb the mast. You should seriously consider upgrading to a cat so the kid can take advantage of the trampolines. I can see this lad being capable of single handing a boat around the world by the age of 10, don't hold him back, now that's good parenting!
Hahaha climbing the mast, we know the advantages of a cat with the trampolines and the moment we meet a cat with other kids Benjamin is over the moon, we are just not cat sailors but never say never. Today we had a great moment together washing the boat, Benjamin really helps now and we can even give him tasks and he understands it immediately, so great! Let's see if he can beat Laura Dekker ;) Thanks for the great comment, we love it.
I found this accusation of negligence towards Benjamin totally ridiculous. You are caring and loving parents, as well as being super responsible. This situation with the flag is too complicated for my taste, but I'm sure everything will be resolved in the best possible way. That footage of the bird near the drone was sensational. Here everything is in order. I must do a 400km race. still this year! Kisses and hugs from this old Brazilian sea wolf. (speaking of flags..., my country's is very beautiful)
Thanks for the nice words, we try to do the best for Benjamin and think the world is his playground, he can learn skills from so many people and meeting different kind of cultures should help him develop. Can imagine the flag bullshit bingo is too complicated, we wanted to explain it since it is relevant for a lot of boaters here in the Mediterrean. That seagull, he even winked at the camera, one million dollar shot. Glad to hear you are doing well and preparing yourself for a 400km race, unbelievable. Your country is absolutely beautiful and maybe one day we sail towards you like we did here in Venice.

Ciao Breeze family, I'm glad you solved the bureaucratic matter of the flag without waiting a long time, now at least you have to learn some Polish dances;) Please forget who has to say about the education or the attention you give to your Benjamin, often people only speak to air their teeth. A big brotherly hug.🙂🙂😚😚😚😚
Hahahaha Polska dancing on the aft deck with lot's of wodka... You remember me to some wild nights in Krakow back in the days. Hahahaha airing their teeth, we hope the brush them well ;) We will start sailing towards you brother.
@@FeeltheBreeze ik heb met mijn bootje rondgevaren in italië trouwens daar ook gekocht uitgeklaard dan naar Kroatië en Montenegro zonder problemen je kan alles on line doen alleen de documenten kan effe duren voor je ze hebt
Ben je trouwens in Nederland verzekerd ? Ik ben bij DNA dat was effe in het begin een probleem omdat mijn ligplaats in Montenegro was maar is toch in orde sinds 3 jaar
I'm sorry I've missed the last 2 shows My phone took a vacation went on a trip! I felt naked with no phone Things are really heating up World wide I'm glad you are safe Covid mandate is shutting down the world power of the people Stay safe as always Great Show Denny from Minnesota
Hahaha hope your phone had a great trip and is fully recharged now 😂, we do understand you feel naked but sometimes so nice to completely disconnect to the world and connect with yourself. All the best from Venice, Italy.
Wow. Don’t listen to mean people. We are the same way with our boys. Both have been on a sailboat since they were born. Well Ethan since he was a couple weeks old and Noah since he was 3. We are the same way with them. We never leave them but all the photos and videos may lead you to think they are all alone. We have the same type of life jackets as Big Ben too. Thanks for sharing and don’t scare me again with this title!!! 😆 another lovely episode. The Croatian people seem to be beautiful people too. This trip was on our list but now with the crazy registration issues it makes me worry. I need to study a bit more about this first.
Thanks Parrish for sharing your family adventures, very nice to hear. We will not scare you again with the title, we thought it was kind of funny in combination with the picture. The Croatian family was such a pleasure to welcome them onboard, they invited us first at their home for a lovely BBQ and we don't want to walk into their home and privacy with all the camera gear, when we invited them to watch the sunset we asked them if they were okay with it and since their oldest son started binge watching our channel they were very happy. A great family, when you are there we will let them know so you can meet them as well. Please check out the website of Yachtregistration Holland, we gained a lot of insights over there. If you have any specific questions of think we can help please let us know. Much love from us.
@@FeeltheBreeze thanks family! You all are wonderful and kind. We hope to meet you one day. If and when you ever sail this way. We already feel as if we are family. Cheers you guys. Much love back. I just posted a Facebook video that I think you will like, on your page. Noah was loving your Vlog 60 with the jelly’s.
I lot of people have switched to the polish flag from the ICP, myself included, lets hope it remains in good standing and does not follow the ICP. I do like the polish marine flag though with its crest. :)
Great to hear, we hope so too, at least you need a survey report and they check you paperwork. Since it is not mandatory to wear a flag we don't think we gonna use it. When we dream big we see our own flag in the future ;)
@@FeeltheBreeze I wonder if not flying a flag will open you to more checks by the coast guard as they want to find out what flag you are, maybe flying it is a better idea. I know that here in Sardinia they tend to leave you alone if you are not Italian flagged otherwise they like to check your boat is fully in order for being Italian flagged.
Hello, we always try to help people but just asking a random question without any background information makes it really hard to answer your question. Why should we do it? Why do you need our help? etc.
Have you thought about what happens when Poland is kicked out of the EU pact? Also watch out for staying more than 183 days in a southern European country, it has cost me more than 22000 euros for being forced to import my boat into Spain. I am a Spanish resident (and the boat had an invoice with VAT (BTW) paid) but never the less. Italy will probably act accordingly. BTW I am Dutch, but not many Dutch speaking people here ....
Hi Hugo, it crossed our minds of course but for now it's the best solution in our case. The ICP is still valid. WoW, what a story regarding your forced import, we don't plan to stay more than 183 days over here. Italy is pulling the strings regarding all foreign flags, the only one accepted is the Polish one. Did you had to import your boat because you are a Spanish resident?
hi family. it is a pity that you dealt with redtape for registration as if covid is not a burden enough to carry on your shoulders. anyways, i am glad to hear that you work it out. as for the Benjamin The Tooth Brush Hider, it is every parent's traditional concern that "what else better can we do for the kids". there is no perfect way to achive that whereas yours is very near to that point.👍 so never mind some perfectionist critics and take them as how the follwers internalize/embrace you. greetings&love from Turkey
Yes, well said but glad we worked it out. Really appreciate your comment regarding parenting, there is indeed no perfect way, we do what we can. We feel your love and support, much love from us and we truly miss Turkey.
Nice one thanks for registration info. I’m buying a boat soon and would be a consideration that never crossed my mind. Oh btw I can see you do a great job with Benjamin fantastic parents. 😊👍
You're welcome Johnny, we thought lets share our experiences and solutions, maybe it helps others. What a great proces you are in right now, enjoy the journey and if you have any questions don't hesitate. Much love from us.
Thank you for your service to others...peace. Crystalline children, like indigo children, etcetera tend to draw the attention of others; in many ways. Their energy vibrates at a very high frequency, especially, at Benjamin's age. I am sure you know this, but sometimes it's good to hear this from someone else.
Nou als jullie in Guadeloupe zijn en ik mag een dagje meezeilen dan heb ik wel een NL vlaggetje bij me, onder een Poolse vlag lijkt mij, gezien de situatie in Polen, geen prettig idee.
Hallo, ich finde es großartig, wie ihr mit Benjamin umgeht, er ist so selbstständig und sicher. Er ist so ein glückliches Kind! Macht weiter so.
Herzlichen Dank Dieter, Benjamin ist sehr sicher und selbstversandig, manchmal seehen wir einander an mit grosse augen.
One more point , all i see is two loving parents and a wonderful little boy, getting a life experience that most people would jump over the moon to do, keep up the great work of being loving parents to Benjamin, all the best.
That's very nice of you Ricky, we do everything we can to be and stay Benjamin's loving parents. We really love to have you onboard Ricky.
Please don't take any criticisms about your parenting skills to heart. Ben looks like he is having the very best start in life, and you are both brilliant parents....we took our two kids sailing in the Ionian aged 2 and 4!
Thanks Charles for sharing your thoughts and experiences, Ben is indeed a very happy little man and as long he is happy we are.. Great to hear you took your kids sailing with the age of 2 and 4, means we have to hurry up with the advice of our German friend from the previous episode 😂
I also thought the bird/drone encounter was epic! Glad it’s smooth sailing (registration) moving forward. Be well!
That was beyond epic for us, that seagull stayed so calm and relaxt, we were completely surprised when we saw the footage.
Do not forget the real hero behind this amazing scene: Mr. Pedro Vessels…
Great episode. You have a very natural flow to your videos. Excellent editing. I love your interaction with the locals too. Seeing the world and getting to know the people is a priceless education; for you and for Benjamin. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, all credits for the editing towards Pedro, he is doing all the work regarding this. We believe in the school of the world, learning skills and meeting local people and knowledge. Much love from us.
Neat shot of the seagull following the drone
Yes, I agree, amazing !
We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw the footage, didn't notice it during flying the drone so it was a big surprise and especially because the seagull is so calm like he/she just wanted to say something.
we too on a sailing boat on Saturday! we plan to follow in your footsteps! you are great. a greeting from Valchiusella
WoW Daniela and Enrico, so nice to hear, congratulations! We are so happy for you, make it happen and enjoy the journey. Much love from Venice.
Another great video. Thank you. Look up The Bramble Jam for Benjamin. There are two albums of kids music - I think you’ll all enjoy it.
Thanks Jason, we will look it up and put it on the speakers, if Benjamin starts dancing we know it immediately. We will let you know.
This little boy living the dream, i am pretty sure that you do the best for him!🙏
Thanks Jonas, we hope he remembers and otherwise he just have to binge watch 😂
Great video. Glad to hear you solved the boat registration issue. Looking forward to the next videos. Stay safe out there!
Thanks Reginald for watching, we are happy we can freely move again. Have a great day.
Great episode guys! I was gobsmacked from your drone video segment with the curious seagull flying up to see the drone.
I’m so happy that I found your videos! They’re fantastic.
Thanks Mark, we know the feeling, we were gobsmacked as well when we saw the footage after the flight. It felt almost unreal because the seagull was so calm and we believe he even winked at the camera ;) Welcome onboard and we are glad you found us.
Good luck you guys, glad you sort the issue. Enjoy your trip!
Thanks Kobus, we wish you all the best too. Have a great day.
Hoe is het afgelopen met jullie dinky mijn Poolse babuschka, met Benjamin komt alles wel goed, hoeft niemand zich zorgen over te maken. Veel plezier in Venetië.
Hey Martin, wij begrijpen jouw vraag niet helemaal.... erg benieuwd.
Ik bedoelde de motor van dinky, heb je daar al een nieuwe voor of is dit nog de geleende motor .
Neglecting Ben? Can't see any neglect only love and care. Some parents get angry as soon as someone is raising their child in a different way than they do, what they need to realize is that there are as many parenting styles as there are parents. Some are indeed harmful to the child, like abusive parents or children that live with parents with substance abuse such as drugs or alcohol. You seem like great parents, ignore the full of themselves parents that have little understanding of the world around them! Ben is a great kid with great parents!
Thank you Alexander, we were kind of astonished as well when we were confronted with it, we do what we can give us much love and care we can towards Benjamin. As newbie parents living a different lifestyle we are asking ourselves the question: is this the best we can do for Benjamin? We love to live close to nature, meet different kind of people, cultures and see skill learning as a great tool in life. Really appreciate your extensive comment and sharing your thoughts with us. Much love 💙
Totaly agree and I cold have not put it better, the expireances, knoledge, self confidence and so much more that you are giving Ben in his young childhood will for sure not only remain as childhood memories for life that any other couch patato screen adicted kid would only dream of..., but will serve him as tools you are giving him now to turn one day into an amazing special & good person as both his perants are. The apple does not fall far from the tree......... :)))
🙂👍 totally agree!
Nice update on the intro! =)
And the new gfx!
Thanks, glad you like it, all credits for the GFX are for Pedro.
Hi family, we are giving a shout-out in this video to Yacht Registration Holland. As you know, we always provide total transparency about sponsorships. We asked YRH if we could share them in our video, and they loved the idea, and we got the registration for free. As with every cooperation, we are totally free in what we do or do not share. This is why we always feel free to point out the pros and cons and make the content as we want to and with an 'objective' view. And to be honest, we are not professional reviewers, so we will always be influenced by our personal preferences, as with almost any other RUclipsr out here doing reviews (like we highly value service and love to support local entrepreneurs and some care more about the best price).
If you require a new flag registration, you can check their website below. Their service is incredible, as we have changed our minds several times on which flag, they managed to work out everything without any problems. And they even stayed extremely friendly with us, changing the plans continuously.
Their website: bit.ly/3augnj7 (https: //www.yachtregistration.company)
*we use the bitly link to see how many times the link has been clicked on - that's it. No affiliate or whatsoever.
I am actually the "Leonardo" of the Yacht Holland review on trust pilot. :-)
They helped me a lot as well.
Amazing video - again 😉 - and brillant Quality! Do you have a new Camera?
Thanks Matthias, great to hear, no we don't have a new camera. We decided to wait and continue with the current setup before we invest in next level camera gear.
luv your videos stay safe and hope 2 hear from u soon and keep up with what u love doing
That's very nice to read Duane... every Tuesday we have a new video 😍
@@FeeltheBreeze jus luv the way u show everyting in the videov and do xplain it but i luv the views and absolutly luv the places you have been in the videos
Hi Guys. Just caught up with your videos. It's amazing what you've acompished in your life so far. Pay no heed to this neglect talk. Your way is a good one. Keep it up. Fare winds and following seas.
Thank you Brisko... great to read you caught up with our videos, still gives us an enormous feeling. The only reason we share and comment on the critics is to raise awareness about it and hope it will change the point of view of people, maybe wishful thinking. Much love from us.
I hope everything is ok . , my fav sailing ppls i watch and follow here on youtube ..Good vibes sent your way !
Hi Stian, everything more than fine, thanks for asking, hope you are doing well. Lots of Breeze for you our friend.
Beautiful video. Thank you.
Thanks Chuck! Hope we will keep surprising you 💙
Had us all worried then with the title! Thank you for explaining the flag situation, sounds like a right 'can of worms'. Glad you managed to get it all sorted out in the end.
Sorry Paul, we didn't want to worry you. We hope we picked the the right worm. Let's see, for now the best solution we think. Thanks for letting us know.
@@FeeltheBreeze Yes, you have to be careful with 'worms' they are 'slippery little things' for sure! :-) I think a 'follow up' would be a good idea ...''Why we chose the Polish flag instead of the other possibles" Interested to know why you didn't go with the British Ensign in the end as I felt sure this was your 'first choice'. (Although I'm not sure you would be welcome throughout the World flying the Ensign these days :-) (Concerned by the title and the 'we have to go to Court' intro...)
Great job, wonderful drone work! And congratulations on working out the flagging of the boat. See you next time and thank you for all your hard work. Hi to Benjamin 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
Benjamin says HELLOOO Michael, thanks for your support and nice words, tomorrow there will be a new video. Much love from us.
What a wonderful episode, once again 😍 You guys are one of the few RUclipsrs where we literally watch every second of their vlogs. So beautiful & cinematic!
Thank you amazing couple! We are impressed by your endeavors story telling and more importantly good hearts and love 💙
We have been enjoying the crescent moon here in the States as you have there in your video! Also the same types of evening skies! Safe travels and blessings! Getting my Venice voice ready!
Wonderfull Scott, the moon and the sunsets are amazing and glad to hear you have them over there as well, Gerben keeps training his voice as well for Oohhh Solemio ....
Some day, Benjamin will understand how lucky he was to have parents like you and the experiences that he had.
Thanks Tom, we just let him binge watch the videos and will ask him the question after he watched all of them ;)
Can you do a video about the boat? Specifically about the blue water challenge? Thick hull, keelbolt inspection, rudder loss, etc? Im looking for a yacht and am attracted to the price and appeal of the beneteaus but scared that they're a bit breaky breaky.
We did a lot of refit videos and have to say the B57 is not a standard Beneteau, it was not build in a production line like many other Beneteau's nowadays. We believe Beneteau makes great boats but... we are happy we have a traditional build one, with a thick hull, etc. It all depends on your sailing plans in our opinion.
Thanks guys!
More than welcome Trev
I'm so happy you've found a solution to your flag problem !!!!!!!!!!
Yessss we as well Roberto 💙💙💙 Italy it is
The fishing and fish situation in Cro was really bad, but the changed a lot about 10 years ago and from my own experience (sailing in Cro since more than 20 years) i can say that it has become much better now and the actions they took start showing and there is clearly more marine life now compared to 10 years ago. Thanks again for the great video :)
Great information Sebastian and really happy to understand it already improved a lot, we just saw dozens of fishing ships sailing out every evening and sailing all night long, this was probably much more 10 years ago. Glad you like the video.
Another wonderful video, love these little bays you anchor in just beautiful, thank you for the mention , but i feel guilty i was part of the problem that caused the collapse of the northern cod fishery in Canada, my ship was 83.5 meters fished 64 days or until the boat was loaded 24 hours a day along with hundreds of boats from all over the world on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, like you guys I would rather see fish while diving and seeing the beautiful life under the ocean than over taking to much fish, kinda sad now, but it will pass, glad you got you registration figured out, hope to see you sailing greater distances, Happy Sailing and be safe.
Thank you Ricky, we hope we did not gave you a bad feeling because we feel you are such a beautiful soul. We doubted if we should put the mention in the episode but since we are in contact you are part of the journey. We know you would rather see the fish while diving, great to hear you have good hope and it will pass, we hope the balance in the ocean will be back. We are looking forward to start sailing greater distances as well. Really appreciate your comment and much love from us.
There's no check in procedure entering to Italy for pleasure boats - I know that because we had a boat in Italian marina for last two years (under slovenian flag). Everytime we left Croatia we did only border procedures in Croatia not in Italy.
But there is an other option - you can go to Slovenia (part of Schengen) and then to Italy and there's no border control between countries.
Thanks, when we entered Italy we were obliged to visit the Port Police to do a proper check in, including PCR test,etc. Interesting route via Sovenia, we sailed into Venice and didn't faced any problems.
Nice video. Yacht registration in Poland costs 25 euros.
Thanks Wouter, very interesting, is this also for foreign boats? We were happy to have the assistance of Yachtregistration Holland to do all the paperwork. The question is it worth the 400 euros extra for all the hassle they do.
I watched the video, I was happy to solve the flag registration problem ،I hope good luck to you A beautiful, safe and happy journey,
Thanks, everything is solved luckily and we are enjoying Venice to the max. We wish you all the best and thanks for being onboard.
Nice to see you in Venice
Mille grazie, is this you with the 33 foot daysailor?
@@FeeltheBreeze Yes i do
Super, please check our story on Instagram. We are in love with your beautiful boat, the moment we will not live onboard anymore we would love to sail a day sailor. Did you made it for yourself? We are in Isola Certosa for some days before we leave to Sicily.
Yes i made by myself i started in June 2017 with a 3D model software and first ride was last year 2020 June Just a few days after lockdown. My boat Is in Chioggia in Le Saline Marina. Is more and less 10 Miles south of Venice. Chioggia is called little Venice very lovable. If you come next wensday we can have a ride in our laguna with my boat and talk about our esperiences. My english is not good but we can do. I fall in love with your life Is my secret dream
As always a good video and instructive regarding registration.As for Benjamin being neglected ,I don't think so ,with two loving parents he is growing rapidly and is very safe and interacts with everything you do 😘
Thanks Tom, great to hear you like it and your nice words, really appreciate it.
Excellent as always!
Thanks Patrick, our pleasure.
Having a boat of the quality your's gives knowledgeable sailors understanding of the level of safety it brings to your journeys. I see how closely you watch Benjamin and know you take every precaution to insure his safety. He shows his ability to move in and around the boat. Of course there is a possibility of an unforseen event happening, that why you guys are so careful.
What an awesome experience for you all! We pray God's blessings and protection be apon your family!
Thank you Rick for your nice comment, we really appreciate it and glad you see how we take care of Benjamin, he is boat kid for sure, he walks around like a pirate and even act like one sometimes. The unforeseen is our biggest nightmare of course since we are short handed but do what we can. Much love from us for you and your family.
Hi there looks like the none sense tries to spoil the joy. It’s great you keep forging ahead. What kind of boat are you sailing there? Looks like much fun. Stay safe.🥂
Yes indeed hahaha the none sense 🤣 luckily we determine our own joy and don’t have a strict schedule. We are sailing a Beneteau 57. She is really a beauty. We made a video with a boat tour. Will send the link in a sec. Thanks for following our adventures :)
ruclips.net/video/Vr9e3av3apo/видео.html
I love to watch your channel because of the positive loving vibe for life you give out and your awesome experiences on how to face adversity, get on top of it, move forward and succeed. You are all an inspiration to watch and obviously fantastic parents to your energetic bundle of joy. On observation, Ben seems to be a child that enjoys being a child but also has the ability to stand back and absorb any situation with a sort of worldly maturity for his age, obviously his parents great influence and education. I am looking forward to seeing you all in Australia one day. Oh, your boat it's simply stunning, so nicely finished.👍
Hi Finlay, that's so nice to read, sharing the Breeze is what we love to do and when you put it in words like yours you give us the confirmation we are on the right track with our videos. Thanks! Benjamin is indeed a bundle of joy with energy all over the place and indeed the ability to absorb a situation and handle it. We are still waiting till the moment he falls into the water but so far so good. One day we will sail into Australia and it would be nice to meet. Yes, we love the Perfect Sense. Have a great day and much love from us.
You take very good care of Benjamin and he is an amazing child growing up to be a wonderful competent sailor ❤️
Thanks Randa, we do what we can as parents to give Benjamin the best start in life as possible, he is already such an amazing deckhand.
Thank you for sharing your family adventures. Take care, safe sailing & god speed my friends ⛵️
Our pleasure Larry, we love doing it. Much love from us.
Thanks for the latest episode. My yacht is in Montenegro and it is always useful to see the weather you are encountering at this time of year in the hope that we are able to get out there off season from London. In regard to your flagging problems I also had to make a choice and as a UK citizen, I have choosen to register under the UK flag but Part 3 (light) not Part 1 (full registration). Part 3 or Small Ships Registry has similar complications and validity with in comparison with your Dutch (light) registration. Currently Greece is not accepting UK part 3 registered boats and I have the added problems of tax (Montenegro Yacht purchased ex VAT) moving inside and out of the EU. We are allowed to travel under Temporary Importation rights on the boat for up to 18 months (a reset possible by moving even 24 hrs to a Third Country status) but we are hindered by all the changes in Brexit and tax laws so it is interesting to hear your problems. The UK flag currently allows us to call on the Royal Navy should we run into problems, always good to have the support of a few aircraft carrier ships when you are sailing in the Adriatic. Good luck Paul
Hi Paul, yes a lot of red tape and with all the changes going on definitely not easy, you have to constantly adopt the waves. We hoped the Dutch authorities would sort it out with Italy but unfortunately, we started the UK part 1 registration but faced some hurdles. We try to avoid the aircraft carriers if you don't mind ;) Thanks for watching.
I hear about this UK flag "rescue option" from time to time, particularly from these companies selling registrations, and likely a very profitable proposition. However, I have never had someone on YT or elsewhere sharing the actual use of this "option." Is this some old-fashioned naval paragraph when Brittain was a global imperium? Frankly UK is not so anymore. Feel free to prove that I'm wrong. I apologize for this slightly negative rant. Cheers.
The best part of your visitor's guitar and singing was the sound of the children giggling in the background. Those are very special moments.
Also, I didn't see someone using earplugs while cleaning the rudder. :-((
Sharp Stevan, indeed thats the best part and it are memories which last a lifetime. You are right about the earplugs, since we are a few weeks behind with our videos we didn't adopt the previous advices in our tasks yet 😃
@@FeeltheBreeze Oh don't worry. I will be hounding you until it is an automatic part of your preparation for bottom cleaning. :-))
De Poolse vlag registratie verrast mij een beetje. Altijd gedacht dat bijv. een Maltese vlag registratie het meeste voordeel opleverde.
Ons ook, een Maltese vlag heeft een lange doorlooptijd en ook nog veel bureaucratie. Het gaat ons erom dat wij veilig kunnen bewegen zonder teveel gedoe. Wij hebben niet gekeken naar BTW voordeel en dergelijke aangezien de BTW betaald is voor de Perfect Sense.
We have registered in Poland 😎👍🏽 One time fee 500€ worldwide recognized, no issue with insurance.
Cool, we hear many boaters changed to Polish flag, great to hear your insurance is okay with it. Thanks for the info.
Hi Both of you! Long time no see😃 Just sold my boat "Wild at Heart". Bought another in Carrabien at the island Grenada😍. Keep contact. Thomas
Hahahaha here he is, our legend from Karpathos. Thomas, it is so great to hear from you and congratulations with selling your Wild at Heart, are you less Wild now? Man, remember our great evenings we had. Congratulations with your new purchase, what did you buy? Lets meet in Grenada. Still have your phone number ;)
Thanks for this video. Very beautiful shot with your drone when you filmed the seagull. She didn't feel in danger when you passed her. You really have a lot of talent singing in bars, you could have contracts for singing but only when closing to empty the place. But your guest could teach you well. Do not be discouraged with thinking he has plenty to do. Have a good week and be ready. 😁
We believe the seagull even winked at the camera, what a lucky shot... Thanks for the great idea regarding an extra income stream, never thought about it, maybe he can work for the government when they want to close the bars and restaurants again 😂 Have a great week to André and almost always ready.
@@FeeltheBreeze 😁😁
Great videos, thank you. The comments about Ben look to be unfounded, the three of you seem to be a perfectly happy and stable family. If Ben was neglected in any way it would show in his behaviour either verbally of physically and he seems to be a happy child with the knowledge of staying inside the boat boundary for safety reasons. I would not entertain these comments even with a reply. Enjoy Venice we went there years ago, lovely place to visit Dank je wel :)
Thanks Malcolm for your nice comment, as long as Ben stays a happy child and develop in the way he does we are very happy too. With commenting on this comments we want to raise more awareness regarding different topics and how much hater there is amongst people, if we all act from love the world would be so much nicer. And yes we focus on the positive side. Venice is treating us very well, heel graag gedaan ;)
How I love to sail with that acoustic guitar
Magic moments, we love your name ;)
En España hay muchos problemas y la mayoría de grandes navegantes se han cambiado a pabellón Polaco.
Gracias por la información, realmente lo agradezco. Es un placer tenerte a bordo.
People are crazy today. They think children need to be protected from everything. I believe that’s why young people are so unhappy today. Kid need to fall, fail and the importance of compilation. You’re doing a great job. Keep it up 👍👍👍
Totally agree, falling and failing is part of life and being one with nature is great. Thanks for the compliments, really appreciate it. Much love from us.
Good news with the Reg guys, as for people interfering with the way you bring up Ben, ignore it, or tell them to mind their own business, you always have these interfering AH,s that think they know best and want to stick their nose in where it don’t belong. I have watched you guys since Ben was a little baby, no one in this world could give that little guy more attention, love, protection, guidance and every thing a child needs that you two do, just look at him, one of the most happy full of life contented little rascals you could ever see. I say well done, just keep on doing what you are doing, enjoy Italy.
Hi Barry, thanks for your comment and sorry for our late reply, somehow you message disappeared and luckily popped up again. We always try to reply, also on not so friendly messages to share our way of thinking and we hope it will bring some perspective in life. Every day we look at Benjamin and aks ourselves the question if he is a happy kid, if he socialises enough with other kids, this is our biggest concern. But as long as he is laughing all out, full of energy and all over the place we think we are doing a good job as newbie parents. It's a pleasure to have you onboard our journey from the start. Much love from us.
I think Benjamin is having a wonderful childhood sailing. I like SLV because of their sons Lenny and Darwin.
We think so too ;) SLV is amazing and Lenny is three days younger than Benjamin, one day they will play together.
@@FeeltheBreeze thanks for your content.
Thank you again for allowing us to share your life....... oh, and how wonderful it is. Two weeks in a great slice of the Mediterranean. 💙⚓⚓⛵⛵
It was wonderful to unwind and stay at one place, Benjamin had a blast with a lot of other kids and we didn’t had to search for a supermarket or pizza delivery 😂
On the last show your motor died but you didnt say if you got another one or not. And do more fishing and record it even if you have to throw them back! We like seeing fishing !
Still the same engine, maybe we will change it in the near future, keep you posting, for fishing we recommend other channels to watch 🤩
Hello, I Prefer Gerben"s guitar playing and singing ! How do you get
bird flying shot at 15:58 minutes ? Wow !
Hahahahaha thanks... will keep practising ;) Like with the seagull, you have to sing first, then start up the drone, put some pieces of bread on top of it, take off, start whistling and then they come 😂 hahahaha.... this was just a million dollar shot, we believe he even winked at the camera...
You are amazing parents. Ben is a very happy thriving little boy. Raising children on water has parents far more alert than on land often times. He will grow up far more responsible and capable because of his floating home, varying seas and weather and all the solid ground adventures and people who come into his life. I wish more children could have what he has. As usual a beautiful story including the registration hiccup. One question ... did the drone survive the seagull interest?
Thank you Bobbie, we do our best and raising a kid on a floating home is different of course combined with our lifestyle. When we look at Benjamin we see a happy, active and open minden young boy and thats the most important for us. The shot with the seagull was the first fly we did with our new drone and happily nothing happened, we noticed the shot when we watched the footage, didn't even notice it while flying, amazing shot right?
@@FeeltheBreeze ... the seagull was unexpected and I'm sure you were thrilled with the footage. Bravo to the new drone. Does Benjamin like the footage or prefers just living it? See you next time xxx
love you guys. I was just about to say ill adopt you all and get you the British Flag. Haha. But glad you got it sorted out. Have fun in venice. cheers guys. x
We love you too Andy and it would have been a great adventure being adopted by you.... The British flag is still our preferred flag but we had to adjust course. Venice is treating us very well. Hope you are doing well, much love from us.
Check out the Swedish register.
They are cheaper about 600 or so.. although a lot of paper work.
Send me a PM if you need help on this
Thanks for your help, we sorted it out and have an official Polish registration now, really appreciate your offer.
Poland - good choice!!!
Thanks Michal. Glad everything is sorted now.
👍grate to follow you on your journey, stay safe
Thanks Danie, welcome onboard
Wow! a very interesting vlog, what with the ICP & Flag registration situation. I am so glad things are sorted, and regards neglecting little Ben, I think that is so unfair as you guys are amazing parents. Anyway thanks for the vlog. The next vlog looks very interesting and challenging. Stay safe please, and I look forward to next Tuesday..
Thanks Steve, great to read you like it and your compliments regarding us as parents, really appreciate it. See you next week.
Maar in Spakenburg zijn er ongeveer 350 tot 400 visboeren, die heel Nederland en stukje van België en Duitsland mee pakken voor de verkoop van vis. Mijn familie was de eigenaar van fhish partners. En dan heb je ook nog Koelewijn haring inleggerij.
Dat is waar we in Spakenburg goed in zijn, naast brood verkopen.
hahahaha vis, brood, beton en iets met kunststof toch ;)
Thank you very nice 👍🤗
Thank you 😍
I love your Videos!
That's great to hear Carey, thanks for watching and letting us know, makes our day.
Amazing episode, iys great to see Ben enjoying himself as he does, growing up in such a unique way I think so long as he has a undressing of the layout I don't see what the problem is, to invite a super family onto you boat is great so guy's keep injoying your life, adventure love you guy's 😉🤙
Thanks Winston, really appreciate your comment and letting us you are enjoying our videos. We think Benjamin is having a blast and as long he is happy we are. We absolutely enjoyed to have the family onboard with their two kids. Much love from us. Have a great day.
A I said on Instagram, I was already wondering what the fuzz with the flags was about but you clarified it perfectly! I don't recognise any neglect, the only thing Gerben should stop doing is singing 🤣. It's great to see the love and care you have for each other and a fantastic vlog once again. How did ye go about learning to sail at sea? My 1974 steel Seahawk 31 is perfect for Friesland, IJsselmeer etc. but before I'll go out to the Waddenzee, Denmark or the UK, I think about taking some lessons. Any tips and tricks?
Stop singing???? I just received some advice to start singing in bars and restaurants who wants to close 😂 Sailing at sea is a different way of sailing, remember the first time when I sailed to Terschelling when I was 16 together with a friend, the moment we berthed the boat people where asking us if our parents where around 😃. This was with a 27 feet "twin keeler". We learned from the father of my friend regarding the tides, waves and navigation. There are a lot of sea sailing schools in the Netherlands. And I believe there is a lot to learn on RUclips for example or talk with experienced sailors. Another lesson is to just do it, prepare as much as you can and go for it.
Can a boat be registered in more than one country?
We don't think so, you have to send your de-registration form in as well to register your boat.
Gerben ik heb gehoord dat je oordopjes moet indoen als je schoonmaakt onder de boot, je kan erg last van je oren krijgen.
Klopt, heb het ook begrepen en draag ze sindsdien, thanks for Feeling the Breeze. 💙
hope you can sail on
We will, nothing will stop us from sailing, when we couldn't fly to the Perfect Sense we started driving 5000 kilometers to reach her even borders were closed. Thanks for your support! Love it.
My wife an I raised 6 girls and sometimes a child needs to learn thier limits and we never spanked our children but they knew we would if they did something they weren't suppose to do. I can't imagine raising a child on the confines of a boat. Just keeping them from becoming bored would be a full time job. We loved our girls but our relationship always came first.
WoW, raising 6 girls, that's next level. We have the same approach, when onboard or sailing sometimes there is no time for talking or an explanation and Benjamin feels it immediately when we raise our voice to keep him away from danger. And yes our love relationship is the cornerstone of everything, if our relationship is not in a good place we are not the best parents for Benjamin or for our business.
Veel plezier in Venetië!
Thanks Rob, Venetië is prachtig en het is z'on bijzondere ervaring om hier de zon onder te zien gaan vanaf de boot.
If you're on your way to Italy
La palma is on fire the island may explode the volcano is not being nice
Food for thought
Denny from Minnesota
Thanks Denny, we are well aware and still far away, first we have to pass the Etna and Stromboli
La Palma is one of the Canary Islands about 3000-4000km away from Italy 🤷🏻♂️
@@smulismuli7976 didn't know that ty
Ben-G is super high energy, definitely needs a positive way to burn energy, perhaps a well fitted harness so he can climb the mast. You should seriously consider upgrading to a cat so the kid can take advantage of the trampolines. I can see this lad being capable of single handing a boat around the world by the age of 10, don't hold him back, now that's good parenting!
Hahaha climbing the mast, we know the advantages of a cat with the trampolines and the moment we meet a cat with other kids Benjamin is over the moon, we are just not cat sailors but never say never. Today we had a great moment together washing the boat, Benjamin really helps now and we can even give him tasks and he understands it immediately, so great! Let's see if he can beat Laura Dekker ;) Thanks for the great comment, we love it.
I found this accusation of negligence towards Benjamin totally ridiculous. You are caring and loving parents, as well as being super responsible. This situation with the flag is too complicated for my taste, but I'm sure everything will be resolved in the best possible way. That footage of the bird near the drone was sensational. Here everything is in order. I must do a 400km race. still this year! Kisses and hugs from this old Brazilian sea wolf. (speaking of flags..., my country's is very beautiful)
Thanks for the nice words, we try to do the best for Benjamin and think the world is his playground, he can learn skills from so many people and meeting different kind of cultures should help him develop. Can imagine the flag bullshit bingo is too complicated, we wanted to explain it since it is relevant for a lot of boaters here in the Mediterrean. That seagull, he even winked at the camera, one million dollar shot. Glad to hear you are doing well and preparing yourself for a 400km race, unbelievable. Your country is absolutely beautiful and maybe one day we sail towards you like we did here in Venice.
Where is the link? Can't find it?
Hi Rod, we put the link in our pinned comment. I copied the tekst and link for you. Just to give total transparency. Have a great day!

Hi family, we are giving a shout-out in this video to Yacht Registration Holland. As you know, we always provide total transparency about sponsorships. We asked YRH if we could share them in our video, and they loved the idea, and we got the registration for free. As with every cooperation, we are totally free in what we do or do not share. This is why we always feel free to point out the pros and cons and make the content as we want to and with an 'objective' view. And to be honest, we are not professional reviewers, so we will always be influenced by our personal preferences, as with almost any other RUclipsr out here doing reviews (like we highly value service and love to support local entrepreneurs and some care more about the best price).
If you require a new flag registration, you can check their website below. Their service is incredible, as we have changed our minds several times on which flag, they managed to work out everything without any problems. And they even stayed extremely friendly with us, changing the plans continuously.

Incredible moment, million dollar shot.
Ciao Breeze family, I'm glad you solved the bureaucratic matter of the flag without waiting a long time, now at least you have to learn some Polish dances;) Please forget who has to say about the education or the attention you give to your Benjamin, often people only speak to air their teeth. A big brotherly hug.🙂🙂😚😚😚😚
Hahahaha Polska dancing on the aft deck with lot's of wodka... You remember me to some wild nights in Krakow back in the days. Hahahaha airing their teeth, we hope the brush them well ;) We will start sailing towards you brother.
@@FeeltheBreeze My island awaits you :)
Could you say a bit more why not PL?
Eventually we did the Polish flag
Encore une très bonne vidéo
Bon il va falloir mettre les traductions automatiques pour les polonais 😂😂 si votre flagg est polonais !!!!
Hahahaha, nous devrions parler en polonais, nous avons entendu ;) Merci d'avoir regardé et apprécié nos vidéos.
Registreer de boot onder belgische vlag als de btw betaald is mag dit géén probleem vormen
BTW is betaald, niet over nagedacht eigenlijk, dank voor de tip, wie weet in de toekomst. Thanks Danny
@@FeeltheBreeze ik heb met mijn bootje rondgevaren in italië trouwens daar ook gekocht uitgeklaard dan naar Kroatië en Montenegro zonder problemen je kan alles on line doen alleen de documenten kan effe duren voor je ze hebt
Ben je trouwens in Nederland verzekerd ? Ik ben bij DNA dat was effe in het begin een probleem omdat mijn ligplaats in Montenegro was maar is toch in orde sinds 3 jaar
I'm sorry I've missed the last 2 shows
My phone took a vacation went on a trip!
I felt naked with no phone
Things are really heating up
World wide I'm glad you are safe
Covid mandate is shutting down the world power of the people
Stay safe as always
Great Show
Denny from Minnesota
Hahaha hope your phone had a great trip and is fully recharged now 😂, we do understand you feel naked but sometimes so nice to completely disconnect to the world and connect with yourself. All the best from Venice, Italy.
Try going with an Australian flag. Not too hard to get, and is recognised worldwide.
Interesting, never thought about it, for now happy with the Polish but we keep it in mind, thank you!
Wow. Don’t listen to mean people. We are the same way with our boys. Both have been on a sailboat since they were born. Well Ethan since he was a couple weeks old and Noah since he was 3. We are the same way with them. We never leave them but all the photos and videos may lead you to think they are all alone. We have the same type of life jackets as Big Ben too. Thanks for sharing and don’t scare me again with this title!!! 😆 another lovely episode. The Croatian people seem to be beautiful people too. This trip was on our list but now with the crazy registration issues it makes me worry. I need to study a bit more about this first.
Thanks Parrish for sharing your family adventures, very nice to hear. We will not scare you again with the title, we thought it was kind of funny in combination with the picture. The Croatian family was such a pleasure to welcome them onboard, they invited us first at their home for a lovely BBQ and we don't want to walk into their home and privacy with all the camera gear, when we invited them to watch the sunset we asked them if they were okay with it and since their oldest son started binge watching our channel they were very happy. A great family, when you are there we will let them know so you can meet them as well. Please check out the website of Yachtregistration Holland, we gained a lot of insights over there. If you have any specific questions of think we can help please let us know. Much love from us.
@@FeeltheBreeze thanks family! You all are wonderful and kind. We hope to meet you one day. If and when you ever sail this way. We already feel as if we are family. Cheers you guys. Much love back. I just posted a Facebook video that I think you will like, on your page. Noah was loving your Vlog 60 with the jelly’s.
super
Mucha suerte y que El Eterno los guarde y bendiga siempre esperando que un día regresen todos ♥️
Gracias por tus hermosas palabras. Amor de nosotros
Para nada todo por bien y adelante viento en popa a toda vela 👍
I lot of people have switched to the polish flag from the ICP, myself included, lets hope it remains in good standing and does not follow the ICP. I do like the polish marine flag though with its crest. :)
Great to hear, we hope so too, at least you need a survey report and they check you paperwork. Since it is not mandatory to wear a flag we don't think we gonna use it. When we dream big we see our own flag in the future ;)
@@FeeltheBreeze I wonder if not flying a flag will open you to more checks by the coast guard as they want to find out what flag you are, maybe flying it is a better idea. I know that here in Sardinia they tend to leave you alone if you are not Italian flagged otherwise they like to check your boat is fully in order for being Italian flagged.
Hello, can you help me make a part-time video?
Hello, we always try to help people but just asking a random question without any background information makes it really hard to answer your question. Why should we do it? Why do you need our help? etc.
@@FeeltheBreeze I am willing to pay you
It’s not about the money, it’s about the connection
Have you thought about what happens when Poland is kicked out of the EU pact? Also watch out for staying more than 183 days in a southern European country, it has cost me more than 22000 euros for being forced to import my boat into Spain. I am a Spanish resident (and the boat had an invoice with VAT (BTW) paid) but never the less. Italy will probably act accordingly. BTW I am Dutch, but not many Dutch speaking people here ....
Hi Hugo, it crossed our minds of course but for now it's the best solution in our case. The ICP is still valid. WoW, what a story regarding your forced import, we don't plan to stay more than 183 days over here. Italy is pulling the strings regarding all foreign flags, the only one accepted is the Polish one. Did you had to import your boat because you are a Spanish resident?
What's wrong with the Polish flag? Did help ... ? :-)
Nothing wrong with it, it really helped us out.
Sailing does fly better since there's no pol up ce.
Pol up?
hi family. it is a pity that you dealt with redtape for registration as if covid is not a burden enough to carry on your shoulders. anyways, i am glad to hear that you work it out. as for the Benjamin The Tooth Brush Hider, it is every parent's traditional concern that "what else better can we do for the kids". there is no perfect way to achive that whereas yours is very near to that point.👍 so never mind some perfectionist critics and take them as how the follwers internalize/embrace you. greetings&love from Turkey
Yes, well said but glad we worked it out. Really appreciate your comment regarding parenting, there is indeed no perfect way, we do what we can. We feel your love and support, much love from us and we truly miss Turkey.
Nice one thanks for registration info. I’m buying a boat soon and would be a consideration that never crossed my mind.
Oh btw I can see you do a great job with Benjamin fantastic parents. 😊👍
You're welcome Johnny, we thought lets share our experiences and solutions, maybe it helps others. What a great proces you are in right now, enjoy the journey and if you have any questions don't hesitate. Much love from us.
NICE
Thanks Snakes hunter 😍
NICE FAMILLY
Thank you Tibor 😍
I’ll let you register the boat in my name and country. I’ll even help of all the paperwork. 😂😂👍👍😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes let’s do that next time 🙌
Thank you for your service to others...peace. Crystalline children, like indigo children, etcetera tend to draw the attention of others; in many ways. Their energy vibrates at a very high frequency, especially, at Benjamin's age. I am sure you know this, but sometimes it's good to hear this from someone else.
Really appreciate your message Robin, thank you! A pleasure to have you onboard our journey and sharing your knowledge.
Nou als jullie in Guadeloupe zijn en ik mag een dagje meezeilen dan heb ik wel een NL vlaggetje bij me, onder een Poolse vlag lijkt mij, gezien de situatie in Polen, geen prettig idee.
hahaha dat is afgesproken Wouter ;)
Another great video and thanks for explaining the mess this whole European union thing has
Thanks George, glad to hear you like it including the explanation.
