I love your videos you two. A theme song suggestion for Talia by the Split Enz, "I just spent 6 months on a leaky boat". Did you learn to sail awhile ago, or just after the purchase of Talia? Are you still working (WFB, work from boat) or living off of RUclips proceeds? The Mediterranean looks beautiful. I loved the cute pronunciation of "cusions" by Laure on the previous video.
Hi Ian! Thanks so much for watching and for the encouraging words! A very appropriate song indeed! 😂 As for sailing experience; Luke got his skipper's license the year before we started cruising, but apart from that we both had virtually no experience on the sea. We're "learning by doing" as they say! As full time video creators now we keep the adventure alive with the kind contributions from our supporters on Patreon and from RUclips. Check out our website if you would like to learn more about our story www.sailingtalia.com Thanks again for watching!
Hey Sailing Avocet! So well said! Although our sailing journey has only just started we are loving the ability to plot a course and just take off. Thanks for following along! Fair winds! ⛵
It is not unusual to see a boat with leaks. Once you have fix those leaks, you will be good for a while. I like your videos, It is as if I was with you visiting all those famous places. Thanks, Richard
Hi Richard! Thanks for tuning in and for the good advice. Happy to report that we made it through a second storm without a drip thanks to some generous application of Sikaflex. Its a great feeling when things just work! Thanks for following our journey!
I feel for you with the leaks, I’m rebuilding a steel yacht and every time I solve one leak I spot another! Epdm foam cord is great for sealing around things temporarily it squishes up to 90% smaller than original and then try’s to fill the gap 😃 good for hatches and around mast step etc
Hey Toby! Thanks for reaching out! These leaks can be a real nightmare. Hadn't thought of epdm foam... That stuff is great for sealing! So far though the sikaflex seems to be holding up well... but just like you said, the moment you solve one leak another appears! Fortunately we don't get much rain in these parts. Best of luck with the rebuild and thanks for following along!
Laure, what an adventure! It was funny seeing you two with all the buckets, I've been in the same situation in my apartment ;) Take care and have fun! Stephanie S.
Hi Stephanie! Don't tell me about it. That was quite a long day that day. Fortunately Luke managed to fix it 😊 #boatlife Hope it'll get better in your appartment! Thanks for following along!
Hey CPT Fin! Great advice. Sikaflex has officially become my favorite thing onboard. Having trouble finding places in Spain that sell butyl tape unfortunately. Thanks for following our adventures!
Hi Marc, we hadn't heard of Polarsteps. Just checked it out, it looks fantastic. Will put more thought into using this to plot out our journey. Thanks a lot for sharing! 😊⛵

Awesome! So happy for you. Life afloat is amazing and we wouldn't trade it for the world because well, with it we have the world!
