Ok.. lets talk about our LOVE LANGUAGES... what did you think about the chat...?? Can you relate to John and my 'love' situation?!

ANDDDD.... I can't wait to explore Bonifacio with y'all next week. Until then, much love and I hope Santa visits with lots of pressies xxx
My wife and I are separated prob due to these opposite languages. Never thought about it that way. Hope to pass this on to her.
That sailboat is amazing that is like the best one on the market... I love the 2 rooms on the side that is my favorite part of the boat & the TV.
So good to listen to John speak with a clear and concise vocabulary, just flows nicely no false throat memes. You are good to listen to John. just my opinion.
You guys are killing it! Great vid as always, already looking forward to the next episode, I hope both you and John have a great Christmas and New Year.
Loved this ep , its like a casual chat with old mates 😊.
Merry Christmas & hope your new year brings you (& us) lots of new adventures.
Thank you for great videos and thank you very much for filming in the front room as well. I have watched it all with great pleasure
Hey Guys,
Some good moments in this one John, Kristina, and Kel, thanks👍🏻...
God Bless with hugs and love all🙏🏻⛵🐬...
Awesome video as usual, Love the brief chat about love languages, we have found it invaluable as is Personality plus. So helpful in everyday life and personal interactions.
Keep up the awesome work, Kelly has stuck gold with being able to sail with you guys.Merry Christmas to you all.
Hey Sean!!!! 💙 It's such a game-changer in relationships hey!? Ohhhh, I haven't read/seen Personality Plus - I'll have to look it up properly and give it a go next! Understanding ourselves and others can truly transform relationships!!!! 🌟 Merry Christmas to you too! Thanks for being part of our sailing family Sean and always showing us some love here! MEANS THE WORLD 🚢😊 Big hugs x
@KristinasTravels Personality Plus by Florence Littauer (I think that is how it is spelt).
It is definitely reciprocal, love that you take the time to reply
your attitudes are so infectious. I like the videos after the intro because I already know it's going to be entertaining.
Excellent video as always, Merry Christmas 🎉 John ,Kelly , Kristina you guys rock. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇦🇺🍺🍻🍺
I literally have the bright sunlight sneeze that’s crazy
Thanks for another lovely video! You and John compliment each other perfectly (and ocassionally hilariously😂) love following your adventures!
Waited until Christmas Day to watch this latest gift and hope you've had a happy holiday. Thanks for another engaging video. You always leave me eager for the next chapter in the story.
It's hard to imagine you could have found a more compatible member of the crew than Kelly. What good fortune for all of you. I would be interested to hear more from her, especially since you told us she gave up life as an engineer to join you for a sail. Taking a leap of faith like that suggests she's an interesting person.
Happy New Year from another sunlight sneezer!
I’m new to your channel and honestly I’m obsessed. Thank you for your hard work and sharing such wonderful videos. ❤
Hey there Madde, and welcome to the crew! 🌊⛵️ We're thrilled to have you on board, and it warms our hearts to hear that you're enjoying the videos. YAY! Thanks a million for your kind words and for being a part of our sailing adventures from here on out (I HOPE HAHA)! ❤️🚀
Stay tuned for our last episode for the year next week, ANDDDD... feel free to share your thoughts or suggestions. I'm all ears :) Merry Christmas xx 😊🌟
I’ll certainly stay tuned. Merry Christmas 😀
Merry Christmas to everyone!!! Love the videos and dreaming of getting into sailing soon.
Cheers from Canada!!
I'm looking forward to some off shore time on my boat when I get it ready to splash in a couple of years. Thanks for the inspiration.
So excited for you Mark - the next couple of years will go so quickly and you’ll be out there before you know it - trust me! ❤️☺️ In the meantime - here’s to plenty of research and preparation 🤩🍻 Have a wonderful Xmas. Thank you for all your support and always popping down here in the comments - love to chat and see your familiar faces, have a good one 🎅🎄
Fantastic video!!! I love it. I have sailed Barcelona to Baleares Island, such a lovely part of the world. Congratulations guys!!!
Tip for you guys. Lead the furling sheet back to a winch, especially if the wind suddenly comes up. You then don’t need to go forward to furl the code zero & it’s far easier & safer
Amazing! Such a great episode, thank you!!
Thank you so much for watching!! 🥰❤️ Happy New Year! X
Hello Sailer's 😊 Your journey from Spain to France was awesome 👍 Kristina your night video was very good😊 John and Kristina you both were really good at your Love language and sharing your experience, thanks for good explanation @ love language. Eager to watch your next journey France. Wishing you very Happy Merry Christmas 🎉
In the next video could you explain how the winches and lines work either side of the helms, also if you think the Jeanneau 55 is a good option for novice sailers?
Kristina and John thank you for bringing to our homes the beautiful med. sea we wish you all the best for 2024 and Merry belated Christmas.
Merry Christmas George!! We hope you had a wonderful day ❤️🙌 Have a wonderful start to the New Year! Lots of love from us both x
I love your explanation of the love language. My wife and I have all 5 but didn’t know it. We just know we love each other and we are both on the same page in love language and life
Awesome, thanks guys. Merry Christmas.
Thank you for all your support this year Dean - Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🎄🎅❤️
I've got the sunlight sneezes, but the funny thing about mine I can use any light to get one or more overwith as soon as I feel the need!
Awesome loved it! the journey, the story you make opposites attract work.
Such an incredible trip over! So glad we made it in one piece! Haha, it’s fun being opposite but sometimes it’s wild 😝 It’s all about compromise and patience I think ❤️🥰😂 Have a very Merry Xmas xx
Wow u guys are truly living the life wishing many blessings
Hi Juane, thanks a bunch for the kind words! We're definitely trying to soak up every moment out on the water. 🌊 Living the sailboat life brings its challenges, but the blessings and adventures make it all worth it! 🙌 Wishing you many blessings too - smooth seas and plenty of joy! ⛵️✨
Popcorn 🍿 all set this end. Looking forward to another epic episode. Hope you guys have a wonderful festive season. I guess with no chimney Santa will be scuppered with the sailing fraternity 👀🫢
Hahaha!! So so good!!! Omg.. I just bought some popcorn the other day.. can't wait to throw it in the saucepan soon!!! Have a BEST Christmas!!! And thank you ALWAYS for your support every week. I am so bloody grateful for you! And yes.. hopefully Santa finds us - one way or another! hehe. Lots of love xx
So fun following your adventures!
YAY NEW VIDEO!
And we have one more episode next week! Ending 2023 with a BANG in Bonifacio baby!! Woohooo! 🎉🥳
We're similar with my gf: She's a morning person, I'm a night owl, She's more sensitive and emotional, I'm more rational and analitical, She's high energy, I'm laid-back. Her love languages are mostly quality time and words, mine are service and gifts 😀 but we constantly learning from each other and together since 10 years so I think if two people love, respect each other willing to communicate, listen and accept the other, anything can work 🙂 sometimes it can be hard, but if it's a good thing it's worth it 🙂
As always a wonderful vid, Merry Xmas
Thank you so much Paul! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead 🥰❤️🤩🎅🎄✨🎉 x
Really enjoyed this episode, Hope you all have a merry and safe Christmas🎄
Thanks a bunch Tony! 🎄 Merry Christmas to you too mate! Delighted to hear that you enjoyed the episode, and we're sending you warm wishes for a holiday season too 🌟⛵️ Here's to a fantastic Christmas! We'll have one last episode next week to close out the New Year! YAY! 🎅🚢
Lovely……Feliz Navidad…….y a disfrutar ! ❤
I have the chocolate thing! And sunlight, also mint. It’s a life of sneezing
Your sheetingblock for the code should be much further back, preferably at the stern. It will give a much better sailshape. You can hook on a barberhaul further foreward on the sheet, but it will rarely be required
Kristina and John,
Merry Christmas!! Love your videos. Can you tell me what is your voiceover setup? I have tried so many mics and ways to keep the background noise to a minimum. How do you so well on a boat?
Wow guys ❤ I found you off instagram today. Just love your content and beautiful presentation of your sailing adventures. Looking forward to following you.
Ohhhh brillInt Grant!!! This is amazing news!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out our videos here on CZcams! You’ve joined us at an epic time 🙂🙂 x
Genoa didn't look like its pulley was far enough aft to maintain correct tension on the corner of the sail. Great video guys - hoisting a large sail for the first time can go a lot worse - well done!
Thanks so much Matt! Appreciate the feedback 🥰 Cheers, we are so stoked too! No problems and no injuries and ripped sails! Winning 🤣🙌😊 Merry Christmas!! 🎅✨🍻
Lol, i have the same as john. I sometimes sneeze with very dark chocolate but i have it mostly with peppermint sweets and mint flavoured chewing gum
Thanks!
Sorry it's been a couple of months, but CSP -- thank you my friend!! Just saw this come through, and I'm super grateful for your contribution to this channel, appreciate you taking the time to shoot us some love :) Kristina
John don’t get over confident in boat handing abilities. You lack experience and on a boat that size without crew, shit can go wrong fast. Me and my wife sail a 60 footer be careful there is so much power in your vessel. Reef early reef even if you think it may be a problem. With your sail plan you can go from boredom to panic faster than you and your crew can handle
Re. the chocolate-inducing sneezes, you have a mild allergy. I have the same. Because I've been gobbling them since childhood the reaction is mild (sneezing). Nice work w/ the Code 0...what a gorgeous beast.
when I lived in Seattle I would sneeze going out on a sunny day, which doesn't happen very often. Now that I live in the Sun Belt of USA, it went away.
Yeah, that yacht is the current hot boat.
It sure is!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 Did you see if just won boat of the year?!
@@KristinasTravelsI did! I saw that boat at the Annapolis Boat Show. Recognized it from there. It is a very unique layout.
Brilliant video. You 2 well 3 on this particular sail are a breath of fresh air. So enjoyable to watch and share some funny moments.
Great job with the Code 0, Yea John here's poor little Kristina attempting to bring in the Code 0 but could not!! Then switched with you to bring in. What did you do well sail into the wind to take pressure off the sail? Now it was much easier to bring in lol.
I don't know how you 3 do it having a camera basically shoved into you face and have to talk. I definitely couldn't do that.
Wishing you 3 a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years.
Hi Jonathan, Thanks a ton for the awesome comment! 😄 We're stoked to hear you enjoyed the sail and got a kick out of me wrangling with the Code 0! 🌬️ LOL!!!! HAHA! Yeah, John worked his magic, sailed into the wind, and made it look like a breeze! Teamwork makes the dream work, right? And trust us, having a camera in your face takes some getting used to, but it's all in good fun! 😅 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too! May your sails catch only the best winds in 2024! 🎉⛵️ X
Do you know leading the escapade couple you met in Whitsundays on catamaran are sailing in the same area between Corsica and Sardinia on 12 metres monohull?
With all that Love Chatter I thought you were leading us up to a John Proposal…..? Just didn’t know if it would be in France or Italy! You’ve both shared so many fantastic experiences and locations throughout the world I’m not sure where he’d pull the trigger, haha. Hoping you have a joyous holiday season.
I guess there’s hope for all of us even after 40 years….🎉❤
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!! Never doubt it 😊☺️
Dreams do come true!!! 💭❤️🙌
I waited to see the entrance to Bonofacio Marina but it was never shown in this episode or the next. Do you/do they ever show it? If so, what episode is it on? Thanks!
Liked your comparison of each other.
Haha - it’s alllllll true 😝😆😊😂🥰 xx
I am already looking forward to your first Atlantic crossing! 😂
Hahahahaha 🤣😂 Lol! 🥰
I've been watching you guys since you put up your first video with Tucana and haven't missed an episode since. You guys are a staple on my tv. A must watch and I have enjoyed every episode. So thank you for showing parts of the world I will never see, or experience.
It's also nice hearing a little bit of home, fellow Australians away from home just living life. I absolutely love when John gets deadly serious. The calmness in his voice and motions/movements just draws me in as if I need to heed these words as well.
Btw, dark chocolate is horrible. Just saying. One of my qwerks, is putting liquorice in chocolate yogo (something similar here in Scotland but not exact and yes, I know it isn't healthy but yum). My wife wants to puke whenever I have it, which isn't that often. I also dip my Macias fries in their chocolate sundae. Have been doing both for over 30 years.
Anyway, I wish you guys the best for 2024 and I look forward to see the next part of your travels. Thanks for sharing your life with us.🍻
Great video, remembering what it was like from our circumnavigation in the 1980s, presently sailing the Eastern Atlantic, headed for Brazil. My wife's book is a good one, published by Austin Macauley of New York, and available on Amazon, literally a fictional story of sailing and adventure: "Seychelle and the Cannabis Yachties". It is very entertaining, hoping you will give it a read and review.
😀👍👍👍❤ Merry Christmas and a fun filled 2024!
My wife sneezes first thing in the morning in the sun
WOW!!!!!! How incredible is it! 😱😱😱 Why does this happen I wonder - I find the quirk adorable!
@@KristinasTravels
Merry Christmas to you and John and a very happy new year xx
@@KristinasTravelsits a matter of some nerve being close to the nose I've been told. I have the same thing
Comment for your efforts!!
You bloody ripper! 🥰 Thank you Kyle. You’re a veteran here now!! LEGEND!!! 🤩 Have a VERY Merry Christmas my friend. Appreciate you x
Fabulous episode guys ‼️ 🎉 💕 Love the genuineness of the dialog, especially the book, "The 5 Love Languages," which my bride and I have read and do our best to practice.....we are also opposite. 🤪 MERRY CHRISTMAS ✨ 🎄 ✨ ✝️ ✨ 💕 ✨ And, see you next time. ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨
love from India😍❤❤❤
🙌🙌🙌 thank you so much for watching! 🥰❤️
I'm definitely a bright sunlight sneezer
Wow!!!! So interesting!!!! I want to try it on a sunny day next time... I'm getting fomo! haha. Merry Christmas!! 😄
Sea
9:09 e..sneezing from sun light is normal well known. I also get sensitive..
Yup. Guilty here. My son who's 2 now also does that 😂
Beautiful lady. Love the video
Thank you ☺ x
Don’t worry John, I sneeze in bright sunlight. Don’t know why.
Ohhhhhhh!!!! That's soooooo interesting!! I wasn't sure if this was true --- THERE YOU GO!!! 😯
…forgot to tell you that you need to unload the zero before you furl it too. But was funny to see KC try 😆
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤦♀️
Peppermint and dark chocolate make me sneeze too man! So strange not met anyone else with the same issue haha
There you gooooo!!!!!! How CRAZY is it!!!!?! Peppermint too - so interesting. Merry Christmas mate and thanks for your support with us this year - means a lot x
I'm a sun sneezer!
Hola but when was this filmed today it’s sunny but not bikini season we’ll accept for the Poms .??
Nice in the med… but what about goes with this sail around the world..crossing the Atlantic..the pacific.. what you think about that???
Ahoy there! The idea of sailing around the world and tackling epic ocean crossings is always on our minds. It's an incredible adventure that many sailors dream about, and we're no exception. We'd love to one day! We're just saving up for our next boat at the moment. It's a dream we hope to accomplish one of these days! ❤️ 🌊⛵️ Until then, thanks for being part of our sailing journey! 🌟😊
How long ago did you start with sailing!🤙
Hey Wayno! 🙂 We stared 2.5 years ago 🥹 and have been sailing on and off since! 🥰
✌️🤠
Happy New Year guys xx Sending you love!
Телка силиконовая
My wife sneezes when she is the sunlight…🤧
Wowwww! It seems this is a fairly common thing… how CRAZY is that!!! I honestly had no idea this was been a thing - wild! 💭😮
Is that your own boat or a charter?
Jeanneau have lent it to us, we're still saving for our next boat 🙂
@@KristinasTravels Holy moly, that’s a sweet lend, lol. Can I get their number? I’d like to learn to sail…
I think you should create a storytelling online course :)
Wow, thank you so much for the compliment - so kind of you to say! Really appreciate you being my hype-buddy! 🤗 Have a Merry Christmas T!
Words of Affirmation is definitely my wife's way of expressing her love for me after 38 years of marriage. Bet you are missing the usual Seafood Binge in Oz though. Like John I shy away from words of Affirmation and like ewes two we are definitely opposites, hence the attraction. Happy sailing, next we here of you it will probably taking part in the Sydney to Hobart next year
beware with. alergies.u are away from lands... have nice trip
Thank you! We are both safe and well 🙂🙌
Chilli makes me hiccup!
Ohhh, that's an interesting one!! I think I get that sometimes too actually now that you mention it!!!!!! 😊 Merry Christmas to the Horrigan family x
Gr8 vid, aldo how isit I knew what she meant but her husband didn't 😆
I TOLD YOU.. hahahahhahaha.. we are opppppposite! 🤣 It's a work in progress LOL!
Good lord. 3 days. What would you be like on Frisco to Hiva Oa for 32.
Haha.. well.. this was supposed to be a STRAIGHT ACROSS situation (more context on the previous episode) so it should have taken 1.5 days. So, not being prepared for the extra length, and having to do it over 3 days.. was a bit torturous! 🤣 Especially because the winds would have been better for sailing if we were able to go straight across - less pounding and engine time 🤗
But you're right, one day - I'm really looking forward to a crazy good passage like that!! Sounds epic!
Lol
#2 hear John, Let me say John when you've worked out why they put a round pizza in a square box and then cut it into triangles then you will fully understand your Love Language and women. 🤗🤪
Careful there... some Corsicans may give you a black eye for calling Corsica French ;)
Haha!!! Oh really?! 😮 I didn’t realise! Thanks for the heads up 🙂🙏😅 Happy New Year George 🎉 x
@@KristinasTravels Yeah, it is much much worse than calling, say, Australians English!
Napoleon Bonaparte, a hero of France, originally from Corsica, is considered the worst of traitors by the locals there.
Happy New Years to you too and stay black-eye-free! :)
When I get really nervous I fart a lot.
Bahahahaha! Love the honesty here 🤗 We're all family! 😅 Have a Merry Christmas mate! The CZcams username seems so fitting with that response haha
sneezing in bright sunlight is not uncommon esp'ly for people of northern European descent..
So unusual.. I wonder why that is!?
@@KristinasTravels well, a hint, in Julius Caesar's work 'Agricola and the Germania ' - Caesar interviewed Germanic tribespeople who had just come across the Rhine - they said they had been travelling for three months 'and they had not seen the sky'..that was how dense the old wood was..so people from that environmental background are not used to bright light..
Lol... Women LOVE to talk about love languages. No guy has ever sat down to talk about his love language without a woman prompting the conversation.
Hahaha... this is probably true! We love a good chat about love, emotions and all the warm fluffy stuff 🥰 Merry Christmas!!! x
Do a real trip..😅
