Looking forward to sharing the crossing and the chaos next week, LOVE YOU GUYS XX
hi!
we are only here for the big booty you had on the cover so show some of that please - no bait and switch
I follow several sailing channels and this has quickly become one of my favorites. You do an amazing job on these videos Kristina!
Thank you Kyle 🥹🤗❤️ Means so much x
What a serendipitous set of steps and a cracking episode, can't wait to see you complete the crossing
Cheers Sean! We’ll get there 😆🤣✌️🫣😁 Can not wait to share the next couple of episodes with you!!!! Bonifacio, we’re coming for ya! 🇫🇷
Your vlogs are the best! The quality is amazing 🤩 Can’t wait to watch the next videos 😍😍😍☺️☺️
Thank you so much Isabel!!!! 🤗❤️ I’ll get started on the next edit tomorrow! Omg.. it’s going to be a mail bitter 🫣😅 ek!!
What an amazing location. Absolutely stunning place.
Can’t thank you you guys enough for the gift 🎁
Thanks so much Phillip! Oh, and you're totally welcome! Hope it comes in handy for your upcoming trip - yay! x
I was in that area in 1978 on a Navy ship and loved the area ... Now my fave beer is Blue Moon .... made with Valencia oranges ... wow ...
As a 62 year old guy I am not ashamed to say that crying during your superb videos isn't too strange to me. The main problem however is that upon discovering your fantastic channel about a week ago, I'm missing all sorts of writing deadlines due to my addiction for your travels. But thank you guys - your channel's a masterpiece.
Oh, this is so beautiful. Thank you for your heart, vulnerability and love. So grateful to have you join us here and at this exciting stage of the trip! Sorry about the deadlines!!! Haha 😝 What are you working on? :) x
Hi Kristina - I'm an Animation Director/Writer working on a new script that involves sailing through Indonesia - hence the initial stumbling upon your channel. Having entertained the socks off me, you have raised my consciousness to a more fundemental approach to life and living it well. So while I merrily miss deadlines, both I and my movie will be better for experiencing your adventures with you! Best - Chris.
In Spain before eating…………you say …Buen Provecho..! ❤
19:35 Reflection = Gratitude = More to be Grateful for.
So true Michael 🥹❤️🙌
Comfortable sailing experiences for myself! Thanks for sharing!
That CL415 landing was absolutely awesome, one of my favorite planes!
Awesome right!!!!! Such a beauty ✈️
You guys do such a great job taking us on these adventures. I can't wait for the next video!
Thanks so much Susanna 🤗❤️ Can’t wait for the big journey over to Bonifacio!!!! It’s going to be epic 🤩 Have the best week ahead xx
Really enjoy the nostalgic snap shots guys👍🏻.
God Bless with hugs and love🙏🏻⛵🐬.
Sunday morning in wet Melbourne, great video to get the day going , ευχαριστώ.
Cheers Bill! Hope you had a wonderful weekend and didn’t go to crazy with all the sales on at the moment! 🤣🫣
We are soooo happy for you.
Как всегда прекрасно Кристина!!!
Seemingly random yet synchronistic encounter's make for a truly wonderous life...
Truly! 💭💕 so much magic in the air right now!
Amazing video once again Kristina oh and John !
This sail boat is amazing, but has break downs as any other. Great exotic mystical location you are at. Looking forward to next video. And that 365 stairs falling into the 1 year anniversary of Kelly quitting her job is wow cool. It's a sign from the God's above?
Hi Jonathan! That's boats for you hahaha! Turned out to be a fuse.. (that we couldn't find, would you believe)!!! hahaha. Oops!
And 365... wow cool hey!!!!! Seriously.. that moment was.... something else!!
An awesome ep as usual! Such a beautiful part of the world.
I loved the part detailing all the little facets of how being there came together, im not "new age" but "the universe" ... she moves in mysterious ways!
Hi Simon.. its really crazy isn't it.. how the universe works its wonders!! Thank you for listening to our little story and how it all came about. And how we ended up in Pollenca on day 365!! 🥹 I literally had goosebumps in 35 degree heat... hahahaha!! How is that even possible?
Pro tip: Rana Tortellinis especially the spinach and goat cheese I think or the truffle and some other stuff are freakin amazing food that's made under 3-4 minutes. Throw some cheese and maybe a bit pesto on it and it's awesome 🙂 we always have a couple of it in our fridge 😀 italian brand I think but we bought them in Spain, but can also be bought in Hungary so my guess is most European countries have it. I don't like stuffed pasta usually but this tastes great 🙂
Jeneau knew a good thing when the saw it! Congratulations to you all for doing such a good job on the videos, and now another one to add to the list! :-)!
Aw, cheers Tom. It's something they've never done before, so it really had been such a privilege and an honour to be thrown the keys to this beast! Very grateful for you support, otherwise this wouldn't have been possible! x
Hi guys, another amazing video and can’t wait for the next episode!!!
Thanks so much Tom!!! :) Wouldn't be possible without you mate, so cheers for being here and your support! x
Another quality professional video! 😊
Cheers Conrad! Appreciate the love and support mate! Have the best week ahead. x
Soy Mallorquin y agradezco el reportaje tan bonito de mi Isla preciosa, sois maravillosos, seguir asi.....
What and adventure, how exciting. I remember watching you on the news. From Perth. Keep up the great videos
Love Spain ... nice filming, nice editing. Well done Kristina.
Aw, thank you so so very much for your support!!
Next week, Italy and France will rock your world (hopefully) too! It sure rocks mine 🥰 Have an awesome week. So nice to hear from you! x
You guys are awesome, I love your videos, keep them coming.
Отличная лодка ⛵️
So cinematic drone video. Awesome job guys. Nice!
❤️🥰 Thank you so much Dave 😍🤩 It’s the only way we can truly capture the beauty and share the highlights of this stunning island. Mallorca is something else! 😊
Entertaining episode ❤. Keep making memories you won't regret it. Remember a life well lived is one full of memories rather than dreams. Good 🤞 going forward.
Well said Neil - so true! ❤️ Thanks for being here and playing a part in making our dreams a reality! Wouldn’t be here without you 🙌💭
Beautiful, but quaint little town. Love the color palette there. And that food looks so delih. Hmmmmmmm
Hello Guys 😊 Very excited journey to a Spain, even I had goosebumps when you all are sharing your journey. You never know where life takes you😊 Keep going and keep Sailing ❤ Love from India❤ Have a Wonderful Day ❤️
Hi Mehu! It's a crazy story isn't it.. how it all just pans out! I get goosebumps thinking about it too. Thank you for watching from India. Hope to visit there one day! 🤗What are you most excited for about this Euro trip? Our next port of call is Bonifacio on the island of Corsica, France!!! Can't wait to sail there! Lucky the water situation is a super quick fix! :)
You all make this a wonderful sailing channel. I always feel like ive been on an exciribg.. exhilarating.. beautiful and fun excursion to places i will never see.. maybe for my next life bucket list.. i still have a drram to sail from Spain to the Canaries and then to the Caribbean.. Chesapeake Bay or close to home the rugged but wonderful sailing grounds of the Penobscot Bay in Maine US.. i have cancer and don't think its in the cards but i keep the dream alive.. living a grateful..positive attitude mindset helps keep me going.. As a singer songwriter and artist and painter the sea and sailibg ships have alwsys been joys to inspire.. Met my once wife of 30 years on a schooner sailing the coast of Maine... The sail across the Atantic as both family sides had done one with the Mayflower and Pilgrims and one around 1900 from England to New York City and Ellis Island to start the "Child Dynasty". So far there are under 20 Child-ren in the dynasty.. I have one grandchild which is fun.. I hope he likes sailing too.
Can't wait for your next episode. I hope life and property f
are well. 😊
Hi Bill!! Your messages always brighten up my day! Thank you for keeping in touch with us! We do hope your cancer keeps at bay. I'm so glad we're able to take you on this ride with us. Yes, gratefulness! I love that. Say hello to your wife for us and thank you again always for watching xxx
Ps. No doubt, the sailing gene will kick on with the grandchild! x
Thanks and I'd love to be around to take him on a sail ...😊
Hey Kristina, long time no chat! Great video yet again! Loved the rock formation and sunset pics. Was brilliant! Keep up the great work. Ash
Hey Ash, ohhhh, so so good to hear from you! Thanks my friend, appreciate the love and support mate. We'll go straight past it all in the next episode lol.. only next time.. we will indeed make it to CORSICA!!! (After the.... situation that unfolds in the bay... dear me.) Always something!!! 😂
Life never has a dull moment if boats are involved 😂😂
@@ashwinratnam5389 totally haha!
Thank you for the Surf Shark app! great idea
So good hey!!!! It’s seriously the BEST! 🤗🤗 Let us know how you go 🙂💪
If you're cooking in active conditions, a very good idea is to wear a heavy full apron, such as a leather one that welders might use, and substantial laced boots past the ankle that are somewhat water-repellent. Once on, those are quite innocuous during meal prep and will prevent potential nasty burns and scalds. Use larger pots and lower water levels. No need to be afraid of a stove, and dancing around one might lead to some other distraction and a bad cut or other injury.
Video scene at 2:56 is amazing Kristina! =)
I’m happy that everything is working out for you guys. From your start till now and I’m sure the channel will continue to grow. I wish you safe passage. Stan from Michigan.
What a beautiful thing to say. Thank you so much Stan. Appreciate those kind words so very much. Means a lot. Have a wonderful weekend and looking forward to the next exciting sail over to Bonifacio! 😮💨🙌😎
Would love to know if John has ever done that and his thoughts on water landings like that. Very cool scene
Beautifully done as always. Going to have to scratch that travel itch. I got a kick out of you squeaking over the flying boat. Where I live water landings only rate a glance to see who it is. Generally smaller planes, like Lakes or Cessenas though.
😆😆 Thank you Mark! Haha, it was a cool missed approach and landing, right?!
New fan here. from Philippines. This is my first time watching a sailing vlog. and its so fun!
Oh hi Mack! So nice to meet you here! Thank you for watching and stopping by! 🫶❤️ If you go back a 5 episodes, watch from the start of this series and then join us on the weekend for the next episode! Can’t wait to have you here! Cheers, Kristina x
Yep! I already watch your videos from EP 1
Hope you guys have a safe sailing. Still waiting for the new Vid. I Really enjoy watching.@@KristinasTravels
Absolutely wild that a new boat would have a problem like that, but I guess that's the point of a shakedown cruise 🤔🤙
Very common for new boats to have all kinds of issues, especially in this case with hull #1
Beautiful ep guys. We just got to aus from spain. Safe travels.
Hey Lachlan! Oh awesome!! Where did you visit? Did you have a blast?!
@@KristinasTravels my wife is Spanish so we head there a bit. We were mainly in Valencia. With a few days in Altea. Both beautiful.
Hope you guys fix your water pump. Happy sailing!⛵️
Thanks so much... omg. It was a fuse we couldn't find. 🤦♀ John saves the day again!
What a cliffhanger!
Haha.. you know what that means… next video is going to start with a 👊👊👊👊!
We’re going to dive straight into it!!! 😱
Love the episode
Cheers legend! Wouldn’t be here without you matey 🤗
As usual amazing filmmaking. PS: Bon apetit in Spanish is buen provecho
Thank you so much J! ❤️🤗
That sux we didn't get to see the 'potential' smash, click baited! Great vids, really pro, I loved sailing through that area, why not turn around. :)
Haha! Sorrrrrry Simon! I was actually going to include it but I ran out of time on this edit! It was getting close to 30 minutes 🫠🫣 It’s kick off the next episode 🙌 promise!
Another groovy episode.
You’re the best!! Thanks for your comments every week! So supportive. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Grateful for you matey!
I just found your channel, I wish you the best for your crossing and to fix your issues and avoid further major ones during longer crossings. Just for boiling water, put a lid on and there is no problem, these have still been very calm conditions. When you have 3 meter waves you will not cook anymore ;-)
Great video, did you know you can clean the speed wheel sensor inside? You can draw it out on the inside and there's a winter plug to stop for leaks in case the vlve is not working to well. (it should close, but does not do well when dirty. Then just clean the wheel and put it back, without any diving.
btw it only measure speed through the water, not boat speed over ground, so you can calculate current. other than that its kind of useless.
Hey Walter! Yeah it’s just that it’s new and I had a preference for not having to clean the mess it makes inside the boat. 😂 it was easier to do it in the water.
Yeah it’s not critical but we were heading off on a three day sail, so preferred that it was working. Speed through water is also used for calculating true wind angle, which is obviously useful 👍🏻
Thanks for your reply John!! 😀 x
OMG 😱 WOW, Kristina‼️ What a fabulous place to share with us. It is just what one would envision off a traditional town in Europe both the harbor town and Pollença!! Happy you were able to celebrate your friends' 1-year anniversary of bye-bye job. BTW, Kristina, you have some fabulous outfits🙌🏻🙌🏻 See you next time.✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨
Thank you so much Joe! Would you believe, that gorgeous yellow top is from an op-shop! I always get the best finds hahaha! 👀
Yes, Pollenca is just divine isn't it?
Hi from Adelaide ❤❤
Oh hi!!!!! Our home town!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Good old Adelaide 🤩 We feel the love and the connection! Thank you for being here and your support xx
excellent video you guys rock , living the dream 💭👍👍👍👍🇦🇺
Cheers!!! Hope you’re having an awesome week! Appreciate the love and support 🌈🤗
I found it amazing your reaction to a fire fighting plane. But hey I wish I'll live in a place where I wouldn't have to know what it is. It would mean that nothing burned to hell every summer.
You’re so right! I’ve never seen a fire fighting plane land or take off on the water before - I didn’t even know that it was a fire fighting plane! It was more the sheer reaction to how loud it was and how close it was landing to us! It honestly was just SO close - unbelievable! I’m so sorry about the fires 🔥🙁 I’ve reported on many in my time, and it’s absolutely heartbreaking - the devastation and heart break! These pilots are heroes! 🙌
Beautiful ... Boat! ...
Buen provecho ...enjoy your meal...de nada 😊
Thank you! 🙌🇪🇸
Hi guys, lovely life watching u ❤, it's nice to meet new neighbors, especially when they are really nice ones,.. I just can't imagine how hot it is until I see your sweating and the bugs too,.. It's funny to see people who somehow were there in the same event when they didn't know each other till the time you met them later, which means that person is somehow that he r she gonna part f your future journey.. I like johns patience, he seems to manage even how tough it is to be out there with some boat issues same as you, well very cool couple in a humid place, but i like the place it has very lovely surroundings so nice to stay for a while, maybe except for hot weather.. By the way krys have youve ever been in a commercial about Melbourne technology or something?, becuase somehow i just reconiize it was u, very nice voice i love it, ❤ really song to my ears🤗24:06
👍
Круто
In Spain before eating …….you say…Buen Provecho..! ❤
Oh lovely! Thank you! 🥘
LMAOOOO MCDONALD’S!!! 😂😂😂😂
Your best video, Kristina I love it when you let your hair down?
Haha! Cheers Alan! Love a good salsa dance on the stern! 💃💃💃😄
Buen Provecho! You would say in Spanish before enjoying a meal. Throughly enjoy your videos and story telling.
Ohhh thanks guys!!!!!! ❤️🤗💕 and gosh, we loved pretty much every meal in Spain! Thanks Sailing Wicked - appreciate the love! 🙌
Left us hanging this time.
I’ll let it roll next time!! 🙈🤗 Promise 😁😁
What is the course planning website/software you're using at 7min47?
You could teach a master class on how to do a CZcams channel. Sailing or not I don't think it matters you would nail it.
which is the software/website that you have been using to plan your crossing?
It’s called Predict Wind 🙂
Hi Kristina! Were you in Mallorca in the Summer months? I imagine it is a lot colder and wetter there now!!
Yes that’s right! 😊😊😊
@@KristinasTravels ah, I thought so! The first sailing channel I started watching was Sailing La Vagabonde.. did you ever meet Riley and Elayna? Thank u Kristina!
Buen Provecho is the Bon Appetite equivalent in most Spanish speaking countries
Thank you so much! 😄🤗🙌 I’m so hungry now, I feel like Paella 🥘❤️ haha!!!
Ya know you can clean the paddle wheel w/out going for a swim?
Yes 🙂 haha! We used to do it all the time on Tucana 😆 But we don’t want to accidentally sink this one if we can’t put it back in fast enough hahaha 😝
newer systems like this boat would have is a non return flap so you don't get the 'fountain' when pulling out the paddle wheel@@KristinasTravels
Does the boat have no antifouling?
Too late now but you should absolutely be on Jeanneau about the boats EPIRB and presumably the AIS not being operational because it has no MMSI, the cost of reflashing the AIS and registering another EPIRB would have been nothing relative to this sponsorship. I hopped between Sydney and Broken bay while I was waiting for my MMSI and I didn't like it and that's only 16 nautial miles. I can't imagine cruising around the Mediterranean without one. Especially relatively shorthanded like you guys are.
Hey Chris! It’s a brand new boat, so straight out of the production line 🙂 We’re so grateful to even have this opportunity, so no complaints 🤗 It’s about to go to its new owner!
The boat only JUST gets it’s name as we sail back to the bay, so I’ll reveal what it is in the next episode. Once the new (very excited) owners sort our the paperwork they’ll be able to organise an MMSI etc! So yes, for now, we have a radar reflector, and are on the look out for other boats visually and on the chart plotter if they have AIS 🙂✌️ You’re right, we have to be on the ball during this sail over the France/Italy!
Are you telling us that the vessel doesn’t have its own mmsi number yet or that you can’t get an Epirb with the mmsi programmed into it ???
Both 🙂 we ended up getting an MMSI though, but then couldn’t find an EPIRB (as we had left Palma by that stage!) 🙉
Im Spanish we say “que aproveche!”
Ohhhhh, thank you Adriana!!!!! 😍😍😍😍
Do you not risk tender being stolen when you leave it alone and go into the town ?
Yes.. it can be a risk! You can put trackers on them though.. and Police can catch up with the offender :) Or others buy locks. When we sailed in Australia we always used a lock a marinas we would tie up to
@@KristinasTravels we need to see more of that booty you got on the cover of the videos - what's with the bait and switch?
First
Hi! Woohoo! Amazing 🤩 Thanks for your support and bring here for the ride!! 🥰 France / Italy is NEXT!!! Yay! X
I thought y’all had air conditioning on this boat!? Is that only when you’re plugged in at a marina I assume? Being from south Texas I couldn’t sleep on any boat if it’s not at the very least 70°F!! Hats off to you guys!!! 😂
Yep, that’s it Paul! 🙂🙂 or we can put on the generator. Haha, and yes, totally feel ya!
And add on the humidity - it’s a killer! 😅🤣 Bring on the ice 🧊🍹
Geez that whole section on having to take that route from hell, that’s f****d, guys 😢
McDonald's😂🤣💀 OMG he kills me.
Blurring should be barred. 😊😊😊
Or at least for the Patreons 😂
🤣🙈
No water can ruin a good sail in a minute. You'll get it fixed in the morning.
So true, and we sure will Mark! You know us too well 🤗🤗 How are you going? 🙂
@@KristinasTravels I have a new holding tank and a new fresh water tank on order for my $1 boat refit project. Progress is slow, but that's my plan. I'm on the pay as you go and finish it on the day I retire plan. Then it's off to the San Blas islands.
write the model of your yacht?
Hey! Check out the link in the description for more, it’s a 2023, Jeanneau Yachts 55! 🤗
@@KristinasTravels cool
Gotta ask, is Kelly single. Wowzers"
🎶 Promo>SM
Did you have a wardrobe malfunction Kristina? 😂😂
Haha! Yes... yes I did 😅
Wearing your foul weather gear when cooking at sea makes boiling water for pasta much safer. ;-)
That’s SUCH a good idea!!! In 35 degrees, I’ll have to shove ice inside one of the layers 😆😆😆🙌 brilliant!!!!! 😘🤗 thanks for great tip! I’ll remember this one 🙂 cheers x
@@KristinasTravels Agree, it's not pleasant at all but hey, better sweaty than burnt....
@@magmaoyster totally!!! 🙌🙂
don't you have AC ? or Fans ?
Yes we do! And it is the BEST!!! But on anchor, you have to put the generator on. That’s fine and works an absolute treat, but we also like to conserve our energy when we can 🙂
Great content as always. Are You on only fans yet John?
26:12 No way... You didn't just close with a cliffhanger. Really? 😮 Like we're not waiting patiently for every episode. Really.
😆🤣😅 Omg!!! I wasn’t meant tooooo! Haha!
But after 27 minutes on my editing timeline (before cutting it back I had about 2 hrs of raw footage to go through!) I simply couldn’t keep going! 😅😅 I only just finished editing this episode 10 minutes before I published it live on CZcams would you believe haha!!! This is what 2 weeks of editing looks like Michael 🤣🫣 Thank you so much for watching, and waiting 😘 next one i promise you’ll see what unfolds 🙌
@@KristinasTravels I have two channels with over 500 videos,going back a decade, Sooooo...I know how much time and effort goes into these videos. That said, I think y'all do a fantastic job.
$5000 a week renting these yachts ? where do you get the money.?
Why would you ask anyone where they get their own money from and question how they spend it?? Very low class
Your style full thumbnail made me click, i am so tired of channels who use their woman's butts or breast to advertise their product.
Hi Kristina, please don't describe yourself as a girl. An eight year old is a girl - I would describe you as a young woman, and it's a bit demeaning to use the "girl" word. John wouldn't describe himself as a "boy". Language is all important. PS: I'm a sixty seven year old Australian man, and I adore your posts.
Thanks Chris!! You’re right!
Cheers for watching and your support! Hope you’re having a great week so far! 🤗
John could always describe himself as a bloke, but I don't think there is a female equivalent. (Why not?) Therefore I am declaring you an honorary bloke for the rest of the trip! I love boats, and the one you're on at the moment looks like a yachtie's dream. Good on you and safe sailing. @@KristinasTravels
There was a smudge on the lens at 2:12. Shame, really. 🌈
😆 you couldn’t see much! Don’t worry! Haha 😛
