While you are in the med, i would go to Turkey, i had a yacht there for 7 years and you can always find shelter, amazing cost line, you can even go check out of Turkey and then do the southern Greek Islands for a few months as they are very close to Turkey and then go back again if you wanted to, this would also help with the time you can spend in Europe, as Turkey is not in the EU, also the good thing in Turkey you can work in most of the boat yards on your boat, plus its cheaper there than in Europe. The Turkish are very friendly people and cant do enough to help.

You guys should go to the Eastern Med. It is way cheaper, especially Greece and Turkey. Turkey has tons of islands and protected anchorages similar to the Carribean and Turkey is not in Schengen so you could spend 3 months cruising the southern coast there to reset your clock.

If I was in your shoes, I would enjoy the Med for the 3 months, Cross back to the Caribbean to either haul out during the early months of winter and knock out some boat projects (i.e: 2-3 mo) than splash back in to enjoy 3 months of good sailing season. Before getting into the hurricane season, I would cross the Panama Canal and head to Mexico to Prep for a trans-Pacific crossing and shoot to cross either during May/June of 2024. The Indo-Pacific area ( from NZ-Thailand) is very beautiful from what I have seen from other cruisers. I, myself and my partner, have a 5 yr plan to save up and hopefully buy a decent Cat and start sailing as well! Your videos are very inspirational to us who want to experience the world with our own 2 feet! Cheers! ❤

@SailingJibsea Жыл бұрын

The Caribbean is a great place to haul out to do boat projects for sure. Esp since they actually let you work on your boat yourself if you wanted (which we very much do) That’s exciting! Best of luck on all your planning and maybe we’ll see you out there one day

you're already here in the Med. There is plenty cheap places here (Ibiza is certainly NOT one of them. But Croatia, Greece and others for sure. In Greece you can even find FREE mooring over the winter months - just saying... Out of shengen Turkey can be sailed all winter, and you have more non schengen countries nearby. Also Tunisia is a lot cheaper, out of schengen and yet VERY close to Sicily. Marinas are cheap in comparison but also cruising is possible in the area.... There a loads of options in the Med, only stay away from the Hotspots (Ibiza, Malorca, Kos, Korfu etc. and you will save big time already)

I'm no sailor, but I have plans to become one within a couple years. With that being said, it would be cool to see you make your way back to the Caribbean after your adventures through the Med. After spending some time in the Caribbean, make your way out through the Panama Canal and sail up the West coast a bit. Then make way to Hawaii and spend time there, then head down to visit those nice Islands in the Pacific like Fiji, Tahiti, Cooks Island etc. Then make way to New Zealand, then Tasmania, then up the Coast of Australia stopping by Sydney and Brisbane. Then make way stooping by all the islands in the Indonesia area and checking out Singapore. After that, I haven't given much thought where to next as I hear great things about Singapore and may decide to make that a permanent residence.

The easiest part of cruising the MED is Greece, especially the Ionian. Always a protected anchorage aroung the next corner and very steady and predictable weather. We have cruised there a few years and are now also at the balearics and really miss the relax cruising of Greece. Really hope the Caribean is as easy as you tell us, as that is our next goal!

my thoughts are that you should look into a digital nomad visa. This would eliminate the 3 months you have to leave the treaty area. I would also price out Greece as it is cheaper there, and my be a good spot for you to hide out. You wouldn't have to go far to see another island. Check out sailing Atticus they have a nomad visa

Return to the Carib- down to San Andreas- maybe Cartagena, then the Panama Canal- to Baja, Sea of Cortez. You could from there head to... Hawaii or points south like Tahiti. Kool drone shots- with the music was specialous. Thanks for the view- Steph & Travis. Enjoy the Med with the time you have left, then get the hell out there. See some- then done. It's cheaper on this side of the pond to your cruising budget or lack thereof- just say'n.

So many historic towns to visit there, and fabulous clear water for swimming.

The maybe cross Pacific to French Polynesia and the other Island countries maybe head to Indonesia Thailand Philippine's, Australia, New Zealand the decisions are never ending.

Be aware that some mediterranean countries do not permit foreign sailors to work on their own boats when they are on the hard. These countries do so in order to ensure that the resident boatyard workers have enough work. Consider somewhere like Tunisia for wintering. It is not in the schengen zone and you can choose a very modern secure marina there with good facilities at a cost of around 1500 dollars US for a years berth. The labour is cheaper there and you are free to do your work. Drop me a message if I can help you out.
