  • It’s time to hit up Athens....you can’t travel to Greece and not see Athens! So we try everything possible to get there with Zephyr but it seems impossible. Marinas there are crazy expensive and there is no place to anchor nearby...so after much debate...we decide to head to Aegina Island where we can leave zephyr on a public wharf and catch a quick ferry to Athens for a day. Join us for a day tour of Acropolis and Athens city.
    Hope you enjoy the video!

    It is part of the tendering process. To get a perfect texture before grilling or pan-frying, you need to get rid of all water in the octopus nerve system. So they hang them out to dry. Turks & Greeks tavern/fish restaurants also beat the octopus onto rocks to speed up the process. Turks don't hang them to dry.
    BTW the waitress' reaction was priceless, haha :)

    Best anchorage with easy public transport to Athens central is Varkiza - Vari bay, southeast of Piraeus port.

      Its a 2006 hunter legend 31, small but perfect for me & my beloved pup"Holly" & it looks like my new girl is hooked on the idea too & keen to come .
      I was saddened by one comment you received regarding your sound quality, Personally I couldn't fault your video & to be honest it was also much more informative than many other similar one's , I appreciate the amount of hard work that goes into making each one .

    this makes the meat of the octopus much tender, due to the evaporation of the water.

    Great video
    What did 'that' waiter say (I couldn't quite hear exactly 'what' he actually said)
    and please ignore the twats who criticise your videos based on volume levels etc. - I appreciate the fact you're not seasoned professionals who have years experience making your videos - I think you guys are doing just fine with what tools & resources you have at your disposal (we're lucky to be able to enjoy your travels courtesy of your vlogs)

    I hope you enjoyed the lamb, you will not see any sheep as you go around Greece. Goats? Millions, but they always have lamb on the menu, go figure? Enjoy it anyway, I always do😁.

      The food is unreal in Greece! My (Nat) favourite food is Greek food! I enjoyed every minute it of it and judging by James’ 24 gyros….I think he loved it too!

    I am one of those old wheezers on music reaction sites griping if the sound isn't right. But when you are traveling on a tight budget, it is a different kettle of old fish. Your sound is quite audible, locations great, storytelling/narrative/editing is just fine....(I was going to insert certain rude country jokes here, but any place that can elect a sociopathetic liar has no room for criticism)(and don't ask what I think of Morry baby)

    I'm starting to do some research into locating a project sailboat as you did with the same background(none) lol. Is there any website you have used or heard of for salvaged/hurricane damaged boats?

    I thought by this time you could figure out the volume levels for recording. Even a cheap external mike could help.
    Very disappointing
