Tranquility!

Mini Series 2024 - 8 - After my last post I'm not sure this video is ok either?? But I hope so!? Finding deserted anchorages, islands, beaches and old buildings to spend time exploring is our favourite thing... pure tranquility! Especially after any boat trippers have been and gone in the evenings 🤗

Re-editing Episode 183

I just wanted to put up a quick apology, I have removed episode 183, a patron had a problem with it as he found it disrespectful, (when I touched the props in the deserted chapel and was trying to make the kids giggle) and I am truly sorry and upset that my actions have made anyone, particularly a patron feel like that! Also the comment was on YouTube not on here so sadly started a whole negative thread on the episode.  I will do my best to re-edit, re-render and re-upload the episode as...

Episode 183 - Sailing Greek Deserted Islands and Gorgeous Chapels.

We always seem to find some mischief somewhere to get up too! and this week is no different, after a sneaky drink and quite half hour child free as we shop for drinking water AGAIN, we then head off, having another fab sail between Greek Islands and find ourselves in a deserted isolated anchorage, with white sandy beaches, stunning coves to explore and a teeny tiny gorgeous chapel to visit, Shame I don't make a very good priest for my child but we do have fun when we meet the local mouse!
