From living in Berlin to living on a sailboat in Greece - BOAT LIFE Ep. 01

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Having some very rudimentary knowledge and no practical experience with sailing, 3 years ago we decided we wanted to pack up our stuff and sail around the world. We worked our a$$es off to save up enough money, learn some basic things about boats and wind and stuff and get all the required licenses (after all Alex is German and I (Mandy) am Dutch and our governments love licenses, so as the good civilians that we are, we got them all!).
Now the time has come to leave the city of Berlin, which has been our comfortable home for the past 11 (Alex) and 5 (Mandy) years, behind. We wave our friends and family, colleagues and the city goodbye, drag our many, heavy bags to the plane and arrive on our boat Blue in Lefkas, Greece.
Today we went from living in Berlin to living on a sailboat in Greece!
Today we start our sailing adventure in the Med! If you are as excited as we are and are curious to see where the wind blows us and which difficulties we encounter upon, join us on this journey and subscribe!

Came here from bums on a boat. Let the binge commence !
Wow mate, that’s a long binge!
I just discovered your channel and I think it is one of the better sailing channels! good luck!
During this last year, I have followed your videos from time to time. They are calming and relaxing. So I have started from the beginning of your channel. I enjoy the way you tell the story.
I am trying to learn more about sailing and the places in the Mediterranean to go to.
Thanks
Love your work. Appreciate Alex's sense of humor! You are both very clever - thanks for the entertainment.
Thanks Tere. And Thank you for following and enjoying our videos!
Your music play list is awesome, Keep it up!
thanks! we had to switch to copyright free songs eventually.. hope you enjoy those episode just as much!
Hi you guys! I am starting at the beginning of your channel again because I have missed some episodes. And yes, viewed, liked and subscribed and I watch the videos all the way through.
Hope you are both well during these trying times of our lives.
"Lyra" my Tanzer 28 is laying in Eastern Lake Ontario. We were not permitted to launch our boats this past season because of Covid. These are quality videos right from the start.
I also have started a RUclips Channel. Please stop by: Thanks you guys! Have fun, keep safe.
Awesome!! Hope you enjoy the old ones as well :) sorry if the music will blast your speakers.. we got better eventually :)
@@seethelittlethings cool!
Like others starting at the beginning soooo two years to cover BUT as I came aboard just now I do know you two survived and thrived lol! Much to look forward to.
Amazing! Thanks for watching the oldies. Hope you can bear the Rookie Audio Level glitches :)
@@seethelittlethings Di
hi...just found your channel...watched a couple of videos and really enjoyed, just subscribed, gonna start from the beginning now and binge watch, stay well. Tony ;-)
Thanks for binging! Hope you will survive the dramatic changes in audio levels in our early episodes 🤣 🔊
I don't know how I missed this episode. Man look at the hair. Good stuff
I don’t know how either! It’s the first one! Yeah nice hair right. He looks handsome 🥰
can you please make a video about how do you find, check and bought the boat? thank you : )
Great stuff! Keep it coming.
👨❤️💋👨
So, is This 1:20 When you first saw this Boat..??
Surely not...!! 😱. And W O W, I can’t believe you played that song
At 6:00. 😳😱🤭 I haven’t heard it since the Mid 60s.!! Boy does that Ever take me back.
Hehe noooo, but it was the first time we saw it repainted :) we had this cool Greek guy paint it for us while we were back home working. And we also had all the rigging replaced because it was too old (insurance and all). So that was new for us to see!
That music is pretty awesoooome, modern music can't live up to that feeling right :D would love to use it again, but we can't really. Hope you enjoy the new music we use too :)
Cheers!
Cool got pooped on on your first vid. No one has every done a first like that 🤣😂🤣
Congratulations!
Hihi thanks :D
Happy for you guys
That's really really sweet of you to say 😘
Have a nice time and keep it coming. Btw the gentleman sounds very German but the lady looks Greek and sounds like one when pronouncing Greek nameplaces. Maybe Greek-American?
Happy you liked it. Tomorrow there’s a new one coming. Seems like we’ll have to do an introduction video soon to find out if you’re right 😉
We also sail in an Oceanis 361 (Orei in Greece), so I started watch your great videos. Maybe I can pick up some smart details, that I can use on our 361. Got a few questions. When did you buy this boat? Is it your first boat? Great storytelling. Thanks. Hugs Claus.
Hey Claus, great boat! We got ours in Lefkada, Ionian was the best place to get to know it
First boat :)
Great Sailing video ! I havent seen your videos on soSAILize ! You dont share on there ?
Thanks mate! we're just starting, thanks for the tip 😎
@@seethelittlethings Great good luck guys .. i subscribed !
Well done! I hope AIS works fine now! :)
Yes, it actually is..!
are there any rules/restrictions to this? As in if I were to buy a boat to live on in the Mediterranean, specifically Greek waters
You’re likely long term visiting. A Visa or European passport
A boat
Boating license
Boat registration and insurance
Paying cruising taxes
@@seethelittlethings Thanks for the reply! I'm also from the US so I'm sure that may change some things.
Maybe get your anchor chain re-galvanized.
Thanks for the comment! I actually took off the first 3 links yesterday since the first one on the anchor looked pretty cruel. The inside of the third link looks quite good. Will show in a future episode.
Ok, u mentioned u got your licences, but what about the boat? What make is it and how and where did u made purchase?
Hey Klemen, we made a video on that a few weeks back:
