- Herby and Maddie return to the states to visit their family and pets for the holidays. While back in the states, Herby works full time as a dentist to earn money which allows them to go cruising. They also begin the process of getting their residency visas in Portugal in hopes that this would then allow them to sail through the rest of Schengen without incidence.
Baltimore, Maryland is a nice change of pace from the cruising world!

Don't you love it how happy they are to have you come and visit Portugal and spend your money supporting their economy. Great seeing you got a stove.
Such a headache! But worth it in the end.
My husband and I really love you guys! We are learning a lot from you and your experiences. It's making our cold Calgary, Canada winter a little more palatable that is for sure! Thanks very much for your advice and wisdom, we will be sure to use it. Making enough to sustain this phase of our lives is key and you have good ideas! Love your senses of humor, My brother Al Tattersall and his wife Lucinda Lindsay are out there somewhere crossing the Pacific to get to Hawaii then Nanaimo Canada where we will all meet up. All the best!
Thanks guys, Stephanie and Justin ⛵️Myatt
Thanks for sharing! That’s great to hear ☺️
Awww. Johnny Unitas’s toe was shiny from all the good luck taken. Great game to be at. Also, this Los Angeles born and raised Ram fan, had a Johnny Unitas action figure! Go figure.😂
You guys are fun to watch
Thanks :)
Busy, busy, busy!
as a life long north Baltimore person now living in Lauderdale thanks much fun
That christmas themed menorah is nothing, worst thing was while shopping for passover seeing a ham with signage that said ,"Perfect for Passover!" Some retail stores are totally clueless. On a similar note, I feel ya when it comes to bureaucracy with embassys, namely that the closest one to me that I have to deal with is over 800 miles away.
You should see the hoops Australians have to jump through to get a USA visa. Yes we need to apply online. if you need to speak to someone on the phone to find out which form to use, or confirm what visa type you need they will answer the phone but only after you enter your credit card number so you can be billed by the minute. When you get your appointment you need to go to the consulate which could be many hours by plane, depending where you live. I don’t think any government makes it easy.
Sounds like a similar nightmare
Now try to do the same thing without owning a credit card. (Do you own those things, or does your bank own them?)
No. It's probably something people do in the credit card world; not really interesting for me. But I figured someone would probably see them as the keys of the kingdom and therefore something they'd not want to lose control over.
Thanks for that bit of explanation.
Anyway, the point was that a lack of a credit card would make the procedure you sketched more difficult.
Ah, another fan of Waze for navigation... @5:46
You need a bigger boat that can carry and launch your two other boats. It's the only way.
WOW! What a hassle you had to go through. The guy at the consulate had a $#%^&* attitude. He should know his accent is very strong. Wish we could have seen the last return trip after the trip to the FBI visit. What kind of hassle did you go through at the FBI and was there a charge for getting the paperwork you needed for the consulate?
Nice to see the "adventure" shall we say, of what goes on behind the scenes of the cruising lifestyle.
Thanks for sharing
Jay
It was a nightmare! Worst of all is when we did jump through all the hoops to navigate their website and make an appointment, they didn’t have us on the list. I had to show him the confirmation email they sent to prove I had an appointment and to get in!
FBI check and prints is done by a company that charges $90 per person. It’s right by the consulates in the Davis Building (I think on the third floor, can’t remember but the guy at the entrance can point you in the right direction). They get everything sent off and ready, the results arrive by email in a few days.
Fun fact, to get an appointment with the consulate, you have to enter your Portuguese Resident Number, which I don’t have and that is why I’m making the appointment! The number is one digit shorter than a passport number, so I just put that number in save the last digit.
Such a mess, but hopefully we will hear soon.
7:10 welcome to Portugal! Note I'm Portuguese...😁
Were loving it here. Eu estou aprendendo Português com Duolingo 😁
Welcome to fortress Europe
Coming and going has to pretty hard on Mortie. Also, can’t believe you can legally a drone at that altitude in Baltimore. Localities are getting pretty aggressive about drone rules.
The drone has the FAA maps built into it. It is incapable of flying into a “no fly zone”. Makes it pretty foolproof :)
I'm just outside of Annapolis, if you ever need someone to check on your Maryland boat in an emergency. And BTW, gnu still rhymes with "new." ;- )
Thanks for the offer! And it has recently been brought to our attention that we have been mispronouncing it wrong this whole time!
We will correct it going forward :)
BTW, Schengen is sort of pronounced with the G of Gnu.
(Well, in the sense that it doesn't have a G of "globe". It has the NG of "sailing".)
Hm - I am from Austria/Europe. As far as I know you have 90 Day free to stay in a Period of 180 Days.
But: Kroatia is not Part of Schengen but Member of EU. Albania is not Part of EU and therefore not in Schengen. Turkey is in the Med, not EU and not Schengen. Also Marokko and Tunisia.
If you stay, lets say 15 Days in Spain another 15 in Italy, than 30 Days in Marokko and Tunisia and then 30 Days in Greece - you was in total 60 Days in Schengen, but 90 Days in the Med.
Then for a Cruise along the Kroation Islands to Turkey - you can easely fill up 180 Days without staying more than 90 Days in Schengen Territory.
This could be a Workaraound and still be legal.
People who own two boats aren't crazy, they are "INSANE!!!!!"
🤣 Yes!
Hey,...Herbie,....you’ve got to look forward and not back. A boat, however stored is still getting older. The next thing you both are going to do is have some kids,........ie.....expand your needs, and the space to house them. All boats are lovely shapes but they are also practical things that serve a set of circumstances. The boat we have was the 4th Southerly bought as new by a Senator of a Department (state) of France. Each boat he bought was larger than the previous as his family grew. We bought it from his son, as the father had passed away some years earlier, who had purchased a newer smaller modern Southerly boat (which by some measures is larger than the longer older boat) to fit his family reality and their sailing style. We move on as we grow. One of my fondest quotes was a commenter to Mothership Adrift, an ex Naval Officer, who said (paraphrased) “I sailed the world with my family, the kids have grown, the boat is gone, my wife has passed away,...but the memories, oh those wonderful memories”. Its the memories we hold close and dear.
I see you found an ablative shampoo to keep algae from growing in your hair.
Adding up those frequent flyer miles
We got $20 off our flight to Flores!
I saw on another channel that getting residency meant that you had to pay VAT on the boat. Does this sound right?
I just heard that two days ago! I was unaware of that until now and need to look further into this matter.
Albeg 30 nice
We’re going to be refitting our Alberg 30 once we get back to the Chesapeake :)
@@RiggingDoctor sounds great down at the bottom of the Bay we have party called harborfest before tallships thing the bay does.
Grew up there you say.. Did you ever meet Bushy Top, Bunk Moreland, Omar or Bubbles..? Disappointing that we wasn't invited to a blue crab feast... 😊
hello you do not need a visa just need to be moving, example land at Cadiz Spain after 90 days move to Gibraltar just 4 miles and you can do that indefinably. saludos
Hey Herby and Maddie why not turn your boat into a dental clinic and sail the south Pacific and Indian ocean where people can't afford basic dental care and have a win win relationship with the locals....they will provide you with the means to go around like food fuel and a few money and you will give them dental services for little money or goods. This way you may sail for years while you will be doing something to be proud for.
I’ve actually done mission trips to Honduras where we did free dental for a week and flew back to the states. It was awesome! I just don’t have the space to stock the sterilization equipment or supplies needed.
I do enjoy the mission trips! Last time I pulled 450 teeth in three days! Also did a bunch of fillings :)
They don’t answer because all is scheduled online. Welcome to the internet world.
And when we scheduled online, they didn’t have us on the list. I had to show them the internet confirmation to prove that I had an appointment.
They really just want to minimize how many people get in to minimize immigration.
Hi, I've used an expediter when I want to get things done in a timely manner regarding visas and the like. By the way, did TravelGnu decide to pronounce the G in Gnu? Usually the G is silent.
Goodness Maddie I hope you figured out something with the visa's. I follow occasional posting by a Texas couple who a bought boat in the French canal system ( thank you Napoleon) They were stuck with the 3 months on and off problem. He has enough of an Irish background to get a Irish passport , took a while. Long ago Before schengen you could easily travel to a different country ( Belgium , Holland , Germany etc) and get a new visa etc. but now it's the entire euro area, a wrinkle I did not know about.
Did you hear how MJ sailing made out trying to do the same? Otherwise it will be a real issue I guess , Good luck , cheers Warren
Yeah it’s been very frustrating but we hope we have it figured out now. MJ Sailing is in Thailand riding out their 90 days
What Dim Sum place is your favorite in B’More?
Definitely that one. It's called Chopstix Gourmet
Herby, you are not doing her any favors by holding on! You need to let her go! That Alberg is deteriorating each month she sits without someone to care for her and sail her. Let her go so she can be happy once again!
He is a stripped down daysailer. No motor, no plumbing, no wiring.
When we get back, I’m going to rebuild him and make him a proper boat.
It’s good bones, but only bones at this time.
@@RiggingDoctor Sorry, He. Even boats should be allowed to choose their pronouns!
Haha! Maddie named him and said it’s a Him, so that’s what I’m going with.
A menorah is a 7-lamp bling bling golden lamp stand. 9 plastic candles is just tacky Christmas kitsch. Although you were wrong I can see how you would be mistaken.
Actually a menorah has 9 candles and does not have to be gold. The extra one is called the shammash and is used to light the others. Hanukkah lasts 8 nights, not 7. Being Jewish, Im pretty sure I know what a menorah looks like. It may be coincidence, but that was indeed a menorah whether they intended it or not. It was humorous
It seems to be both?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menorah_(Temple)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menorah_(Hanukkah)
I love the idea of a christmas menorah. You could put it on your diwali cake!
@17:05 - "They say that people who own boats are crazy, and people who own two boats are twice as crazy." Sorry, Herbie, that dramatically misstated the maximum, which says that folks who own two boats are twice-to-the-power-of-ten crazy. (I suppose that wasn't easy to say for the clip.)
Well, I'm not going to tell you how many boats I have! At least I can store mine for free in and around my house and business.
My friend in UK has a special qualifications for this called 'Poly Navicular Morbus'. You can read all about it here.

He has enough of an Irish background to get a Irish passport , took a while. Long ago Before shozgun? You could easily travel to a different country and get a new visa etc.
Did you hear how MJ sailing made out trying to do the same? Good luck , cheers Warren
Being a dentist, when they asked do have an appointment?. Yes 2.30 ( tooth hurty). sorry couldn't resist that one.
On a serious note have you ever thought about becoming a citizen of a EU. country?
It's not as difficult as you may think. I'm from the uk. and I have a property in Bulgaria.
I believe that anyone from any country in the world can buy a property here, then apply for a EU. citizen I.D. card, which lets you travel to any EU. country without a passport or visa.
I believe that the ID. card is valid for the lenght of time your medical insurance is valid.
At the moment property and property taxes are inexpensive in BG.
I can give you an example of my property tax for a year $ 20
Don't believe what you read about BG. 98% of Bulgarians own their homes some own 3 or 4. They are very well educated compaired to the rest of europe. Most Bulgarians your age speak 2,3,4, or more languages all young people speak at least 2.
Don't worry about the cost of housing, everything would probably cost 2 months salary.
It's just a thought but I hope it helps you both to live out your dreams and ambitions.
Love and thanks for sharing your life with us, may you be blessed and loved where ever you go and in whatever you do.
hello how you can get a house in Bulgaria. thanks in advance
Citizenship is an option we are considering, but residency is the first step. If it doesn’t work out like we hope, we will then be looking at citizenship options.
By the way, I always chuckle a little when someone calls with a toothache and want to come in at 2:30 😂
hello I just remember in Spain if you are from America any country and you last name is on some can of list of 5000 names they will issue citizen ship , and if you join the Legion Americana . I don't know if they continue to apply that law . google it . Saludos
hello check this out czcams.com/video/hYOIiP1E-yM/video.html
Got to love unneeded bureaucracy! If it was a lesser developed country one could have made a "facilitating payment" and got past the locked door and suddenly had an appointment
My favorite word Mattie! I saw that! LOL. This is government red tap at its finest!
Oh, NO! I skipped a portion! No offense Mattie:) I think I just misused the word offense.
🐂 I don't do horses...I'm a cattle Dog.🐂
If it wasn’t Portugal would it have been a different one...do you have to get a visa for all of Europe or just individual countries?
If you do a tourist type visa, you need per country. If you do residency, (as far as we believe right now) you are good for all of Europe.
We will let you know more definitely when we get to Spain and see how it works out!
From MJ Sailing's video czcams.com/video/RkA0LwEWd5Y/video.html at 19:15, Matt discussed this topic, sounds like you may be liable for taxes for your boat, is this correct?
Yeah, he told me about that so we are still looking into that little nugget!
@@RiggingDoctor I hope it's not true. That could be expensive for you and others (newbies) that followed your path. Best wishes.
