- We are Emily and Ryan, a couple from Tasmania, Australia, who are pursuing our dream of exploring the world by sailboat. We recently bought a Moody 425 monohull yacht in Greece, ready to sail the Mediterranean in 2023. In this video, we take you along the boat hunting journey and some of our travels through Greece. We will be exploring Greece and Turkey in 2023.

Truly beautiful cinematography combined with a killer sound track. We are so HAPPY you found this Moody 425, she's really awesome. We can't wait for both to be living your dream.
Thanks so much David, we really appreciate it! 😊
You will have the most amazing time! Thanks for sharing your channel with us at work ☺️ will miss you so much!
Thank you Nat ❤️
Good onya guys! Looking forward to the next step in the adventure!
Amazing scenery Em & Ryan. Can't wait to see the next episode. Safe travels . xxx
Thanks Kate! :) xx
Nice video !! Will be following you ! And maybe see you during Sailing. For sure at the Arc in November 2024 !!
Thanks! Nice to meet you - see you out there!
This is amazing! I thought something was off when I mentioned a CZcams channel! All the best with this venture, very inspiring! Gary GSS :)
Thanks Gary!! :)
You’ve picked a good boat to start but probable still got a goodly to-do list…Good Luck…Stay Safe😎
Thanks Steven! We are very happy with the boat, but yes plenty of jobs to do 😅
Moody 425! What a fabulous choice. Amazing accommodation, aft stateroom , comfort and great centre cockpit. Better than just about anything if safe comfortable cruising is it. Just fab😊
Cheers! We totally agree, so happy with the boat! 😄
Emily, do check for Toxoplasmosis
Great to see another channel on CZcams of sailing adventures Ep1 had some amazing footage and you’ve chosen a really good boat. One tip if you will allow me! Contrary to the word out there not every viewer/subscriber is a randy starved male so please do not sink to titivating click bait to attract viewers. Our family would prefer you to cover up a bit when recording videos (what you want to wear or not off camera is no problem) Thanks and great sailing and adventures Nick
Cheers Nick! If you watch the rest of our videos you'll see that we haven't gone down the click bait path. Occasionally I'm wearing bathers in the videos, because that's generally what we wear in summer when we're swimming off the boat. No different to Ryan being shirtless on the boat 90% of the time 😂
The pelopenese is amazing, need to go back again some day. glad to see you pursuing your dreams!
It's so beautiful isn't it! Thanks so much 😄
Looking forward to your future videos. How much did the yacht cost? Should do a video on the buying process and bureaucracy, I've heard it's very involved.
Thanks Leo! We'll make a future video about the boat buying process, costs etc 😊 The process overall wasn't too bad, just lots of little steps. If you have any particular questions in the meantime though just let us know!
Yes, that would be great to do a video on the whole process as I am also interested in doing what you have done and would love to hear all about it. Why you chose what you did,where you found the best place to find it, etc etc. Cheers from Newcastle Australia
@tonypurkiss6022 Thanks Tony, we've got something in the works and hope to release it soon 😊
Great video guys we just subscribed to keep in touch with fellow boat owners ❤ wow from Australia to Greece so awesome hope to see you guys if you come back to Australia 🥰🇦🇺
Thanks so much guys! 😄 Just checked out your videos and subscribed - looks like you're having some great adventures in Queensland at the moment! Would be great to catch up with fellow cruisers if/when we come home 😊
@@sailingwishfulthinking Naww thank you 💯 yea that would be cool, we will definitely be somewhere in Australia cruising the Coast. Enjoy your travels it looks so beautiful over there 🐬💦⚓
Awesome! I can’t wait to do the same as you’re doing! Do you mind sharing how much you got the boat for?👀😎
Hi Diego, thanks for your comment! We plan to make a future video about the boat buying process and costs, but if you Google Moody 425 yachts for sale you'll get a rough idea of what we paid 😉
@@sailingwishfulthinking Also interested, incl, why Greece, transfers, considerations re registration in Au vs elsewhere, insurance.
Hi guys, I have liked and subscribed and look forward to following along with you on your new adventure. I would be interested to know how you came about choosing your 425? Were you shopping on a type of boat, length or price? Also, I would be interested to know what you ended up paying for her. Cheers from Newcastle Australia
Thanks Tony! 😊 We were looking for a GRP boat at least 38ft suitable for cruising as liveaboards as well as crossing oceans. We were considering production boats as well but the Moody 425 happened to become available while we were searching in Greece and we loved it. Ryan had his eye on Moodys for ages and this one happened to be within our budget and was exactly what we'd been looking for. We'll talk a bit more about cost etc in a later video 😉
Wow - Ryan just DOES NOT LIKE to look at the camera does he! Best you get real comfortable with it mate.
Feels ultra weird as a viewer watching someone who is apparently 'communicating' _with_ you as they send their attention everywhere else; for what seems like minutes.
Thanks for the feedback Peter. Not an easy thing to do talking to the camera - doesn't come naturally to us but we're working on it. I think we've improved a lot in our latest video!
