Been watching you for about two three weeks now. I'm now up to video 135. Just amazing content. I love how both of you put equal amount of words into each video and focus on just you and the boat. Love the music and video style. No one else does that. I'm about ready to order plans for a Mumby Cyber 48 and will start the build hopefully next winter or following summer. You have inspired me greatly to get going on my dreams of sailing around the world. I also used to be a small boat racer, lived aboard a 165 ft gaff rigged schooner for a year and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean. I started crewing with my dad before I started preschool and then he built me my first sailboat just after that experience which I think was before I learned how to swim. 1/10/2024
There used to be Episodes 1 & 2. I remember watching those episodes but they were removed a few years ago. They were not bad. Mostly I remember them driving to look for a sailboat and finally getting "Florence". Nothing bad or weird about the episodes but they may seem dated or have been filmed on a smartphone or something that isn't up to their current production quality (which is excellent). I do with they would repost them as they have nothing to be ashamed of - all successful channels start out a bit rough but that is what makes them so endearing.
I have been watching a Dingy full of sailing videos for the last six + months And I just was recommended this channel during some binge watching of the Marcasus islands and am starting at your #1=3 LOL 😂
:-) #1 and #2 are buried deep, #3 should probably also be hidden, we were very new to making videos in those days! We hope you notice an improvement as you get towards the more recent videos.
@@SailingYachtFlorence that’s a shame, I’m sure everyone would love to see the start of the round the world adventure, even if the videos aren’t as polished as your current ones
As Matt was preparing to "service the wenches," I thought for a moment that this may not be the family-friendly sailing channel I was led to expect. Alas, "winches" not "wenches."
Discovered your vlogs when you got to South Africa and have been going back through when time permitted BUT I can't find your Episodes 1 & 2, are they still available? MUST congratulate you on your style and presentation, looking forward to following you all the way.
Philip Allsop we stopped in Leixoes (just north of Porto, not very pretty but great for seeing Porto), Aveiro which was a convenient stop but again not pretty other than the beach which is a walk from the anchorage and finally Cascais which we loved. We did not have time to go further south but Lisbon and the Algarve come highly recommended by other cruisers we talked to. We really enjoyed Portugal, hope you do too.
I'm going to start watching your early vids. I dont know you but I like you already and started supporting you on Patreron (what you are doing merits support)! I have lads of basic questions.how much sailing experience did you two have before setting out? Presumably you've saved the nearly $18,000/year living expenses before setting out? That couldn't have been easy. Figuring out he cost of a 37 ft sailing craft isn't hard but I'm curious what it cost to outfit it with the latest navigation equipment, emergency transponder, radio (ok, you have sat and mobile phone but you must also have a shortwave set?), depth finder, tc, etc. How long did it take you to plan your escape? And do you really plan to just stop? Thanks for everything!!
Can you tell us bout your boat and maybe what you ve been doing before your dream sailing trip round the world? And can you maybe give an estimation bout the costs of one year sailing round the world?
Hi, The next video will be a tour of Florence, as for costs we average £14000 per year for absolutely everything. We are considering putting together an episode on how much it costs to break that 14K down as we actually track where we spend the money. cheers M&A
I'm enjoying your sailing vids but curious what happened to episodes 1&2. Wondering if they might have more to say about how you got started on your adventure.
Episodes 1&2 were our first ever youtube videos and when we watched them back recently they made us cringe as they are very poor quality and we felt they detracted from our more recent efforts. We are still on a steep learning curve regarding filming and editing! You can find out more about us and how we got started on our written blog sailwiththeflo.wordpress.com/about/ we were blogging before we were filming. cheers M&A
I too would enjoy seeing a beginning episode but I also understand what you're saying about the learning curve of videography and wanting to show good quality from the start. Perhaps you could re-edit a new beginning episode combining carefully selected footage from episodes 1 & 2. You could use voiceovers or subtle music if the audio is bad. You could even shoot some new footage for episode one such as a boat tour and a brief introduction to yourselves. People are always interested in the cost of your boat and your travel budget if your open to sharing that info. Thanks for sharing your adventure with the rest of us! :)
Hi Andre, Episodes 1 and 2 were our first youtube videos and they were rubbish so we took them down. They were just from crossing Biscay and exploring the Spanish coast.
Hi Ed, The theory was that we would take it down in bad weather. Max winds so far when sailing have been 50 knots and it held no problems, it is rock solid. So now we think we would only take it down if a hurricane was approaching.
This was Still GOOD today, and that after watching your latest one leaving Africa to the south Atlantic…!!✅👍 Better than, let’s say, episode #6 where you went to Three (3) different islands in The Canary chain in 10. Minutes..!! 😱🤷🏻♂️🫣
Been watching ya'll since you've got stuck in Indonesia so, thought I'd binge watch from the beginning.
Love what you do!
Just watched episode 168 and went back seven years to here ... wow time flies
Hi I have just started watching your videos but I’m wondering if there’s an episode 1 and 2?
Did you get a reply ?
I have the same question
I would love to know this too! Any update @sailingyachtflorence ?
They mentioned somewhere that the quality of the first few vids was such that they wont upload them
2024.....same question.
My 3rd time see replay from Ep.1 of six years ago to all 147 episodes till NewYear.. like being with family again.

@@Coleen-Love I agree. I love what they publish.
6:30 awesome clip... the video... the track.. the editing....love it!
Where are Episode 1 and 2? It start with Episode 3!
They said that they were rubbish and removed them
@@frankd2301 Thanks for the explanation - Its the first question that comes to mind when you start binge watching.
@@frankd2301 even rubbish will be interesting to me. Please upload these two videos again.
8:18 What a magnificent structure! Your videos wake up the adventurer in me.
just subscribed...gonna watch all clips..thanks.. every clip i saw was attached to my wish ..THANK YOU BOTH...NICE JOB
Little did you two know nearly 6 years on the adventures you would have. Well done to you both, we almost feel we've been on the journey with you.
Sure love you sailing dingy. Fantastic videos.
"It's hard to believe that every job creates this much chaos" Amy - you sound like my wife! Matt, great comeback!
I so enjoy your videos! Thank you.

Just subscribed but can't find part 1&2......
Was love to know how much a boat lime yours costs
Discovered your vlogs when you got to South Africa and have been going back through when time permitted BUT I can't find your Episodes 1 & 2, are they still available? MUST congratulate you on your style and presentation, looking forward to following you all the way.
Nice video again. What is the design of your boat?
Hi have really enjoyed these videos
We are planning our own trip this September and would love a list of your stops in Spain and Portugal
Philip Allsop we stopped in Leixoes (just north of Porto, not very pretty but great for seeing Porto), Aveiro which was a convenient stop but again not pretty other than the beach which is a walk from the anchorage and finally Cascais which we loved. We did not have time to go further south but Lisbon and the Algarve come highly recommended by other cruisers we talked to. We really enjoyed Portugal, hope you do too.
Am I missing an episode?
i go direct from 'Living The Dream' to episode 3.
Are eps 1&2 available? Starts at ep3 for me.
Cascais Where My Sister Lived and i wished manyy Times WOW
Just found your channel... loving it and decided to go back to the beginning. Love the music as well... what's the song playing at 8:00?

You should put them back online, all part of the learning curve for everyone. The early episodes of SV Delos are an example
read the about thanks, where did you buy the boat from and depart ?
I totally agree - La Vagabond, Zatara etc all the same - please put back

How long is your ⛵? Do you wish it was longer? If so, what do you think the ideal length is for a solo couple to do this trip?
Lucky man she seems to keep you well fed. How is the beer supply?
We were in Portugal so it was all about the port rather than the beer ;-) Sadly none left now...
Ok, just started watching from ep 1, where did the kids go?
Hi just started watching your vids can't see ep 1 or 2 ? Is it poss to view x
Great video got a
Hi kids, where are episodes 1 and 2?
Hi Andre, Episodes 1 and 2 were our first youtube videos and they were rubbish so we took them down. They were just from crossing Biscay and exploring the Spanish coast.
@@SailingYachtFlorence
Thank you, anyway, from the third to the last one I've seen them all and twice. Have fun!
@@SailingYachtFlorence That explains it, ive been looking for them
@@SailingYachtFlorenceeven if you thought poor you should of left them on , not to worry , I’ll crack on and watch from here 👍
Question. How bad does the weather need before you strike the Bimini
Hi Ed, The theory was that we would take it down in bad weather. Max winds so far when sailing have been 50 knots and it held no problems, it is rock solid. So now we think we would only take it down if a hurricane was approaching.
If the castle in Portugal was originally a convent how come it has the Muslim architecture?
I do like the history.
Shes right is kaos lololol
Dont you have to take the quarantine flag until you are cleared customs?
what kind of yacht are you sailing is it a moody?
Hi Alan, Florence is an Oyster! There is a little more info on our blog here: sailwiththeflo.wordpress.com/florence/
Beautiful vessel...
Yup a beautiful boat. From one of the great British boat builders of a few years back. Built for the oceans...
This was Still GOOD today, and that after watching your latest one leaving Africa to the south Atlantic…!!✅👍
Better than, let’s say, episode #6 where you went to Three (3) different islands in The Canary chain in 10. Minutes..!! 😱🤷🏻♂️🫣
